Chapter 149: Escape

Because Lu Bu knew that in the entire Xuzhou, only Xuzhou City's city defense was the most magnificent. If he fled to other cities, whether he could withstand the fierce attack of Cao's army was a question that Lu Bu could not ignore, after all, he did not want to be defeated.

But the problem is that if you don't leave now, after the flood pushes away, you will definitely be the one who fails. Although Lu Bu was reckless, he also knew that if the news of the massacre of the people was spread, many of his soldiers would definitely rebel against him, as long as they opened the city gate to welcome Cao's army into the city, then he only had the possibility of defeat.

If he relied on the towering city, Lu Bu still had the confidence to deal with the Cao army, but without the cover of the city wall, his own soldiers would definitely not be able to defeat the Cao army. Moreover, it is important to know that the Cao army outside the city is far superior to its own army.

After being silent for a long time, Lu Bu turned his head and said to Chen Gong: "This is the only way to do it now, inform all the soldiers that after the flood recedes, evacuate Xuzhou City as soon as possible." Saying this, Lu Bu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, after all, this decision was very difficult.

And when Chen Gong heard Lu Bu's words, he was also slightly relieved. Because he was afraid that Lu Bu would be reckless at this time, which would cause an unimaginable disaster. Today's Lu Bu army can no longer withstand any blows, and can only continue to fight by resting and recuperating.

Under everyone's expectations, the heavy rain that had been going on for a long time finally gradually decreased. Subsequently, the heavy rain that the people of Xuzhou remembered was finally heard. Soon after the torrential rain stopped, the sun finally shone through some thin clouds.

Looking at the sporadic spots of light, all the people of Xuzhou showed a smile of relief. When the rainstorm finally stops, the flood will gradually subside.

And the development of things did not disappoint all the people of Xuzhou, just the next day. The people of Xuzhou City were delighted to find that the flood was gradually receding. In this regard, all the people of Xuzhou are very happy, after all, they have been looking forward to it for a long time.

As long as the flood waters receded, they could return to their homes. Although the home has been flooded, it is a matter of indifference to the people. After all. All they need is a shelter from the elements.

As the flood waters receded, some of the people began to gradually move towards their homes. And more of them are waiting for the flood waters to recede as soon as possible.

And just when the people of Xuzhou City were looking forward to joy, Lu Bu's withdrawal was also in full swing. All the generals of Lu Bu's descendants have already been on standby, as long as the flood retreats, they will evacuate quickly, otherwise they will definitely be discovered by the Cao army.

As time passed, the flood waters gradually receded. And the more the flood retreated. Chen Gong's mood became more and more worried. After all, the moment the flood recedes is the moment when one's fate is decided.

Finally, in the midst of everyone's expectations, the raging flood finally receded completely. This made the soldiers who had been sticking to the city wall during this time very happy. After all, the flood waters have receded, and I can finally go home to see what is happening to my family.

But just when all the soldiers were very happy, a shocking news reached everyone's ears. Just when the flood first broke out. LΓΌ Bu was in front of the Taishou Mansion and slaughtered thousands of unarmed civilians, causing a riot. And there were countless casualties in this riot, and many people died tragically under the knife of Lu Bu's personal guards.

After learning the news, many soldiers couldn't believe it. Although they are Lu Bu's soldiers, they are raised in Xuzhou City. Moreover, who knows, these people who died tragically in the fall of Lu Bu's own soldiers. Do you have your own relatives and friends?

And just when everyone was full of doubts, an even more shocking news came that Lu Bu and his descendants had quietly evacuated Xuzhou City last night. The specific evacuation went there, and the person who brought the news did not know. They only knew that Lu Bu and his family left through the east gate.

Just when the news that came one after another was not accepted by the soldiers, Cao's army was overwhelming the border all over the mountains. Looking at the majestic Cao Jun, and looking at Xuzhou City, which had been soaked in the flood for a long time, all the soldiers defending the city turned pale.

The lord has run away, and he still has something to do. Even if you agree, who will see it, and who will reward you. Moreover, Lu Bu withdrew with his own henchmen, and those who did not withdraw were independent.

Thinking of this, the faces of all the soldiers defending the city changed. But at this time, there were still people who stepped forward. This person is none other than Chen Deng.

And the appearance of Chen Deng suddenly made all the soldiers of Xuzhou City find the backbone. After all, Chen Deng is very popular in the whole Xuzhou. Just after Chen Deng appeared at the head of the city, his first order was to open the city gate and welcome Cao Jun.

Hearing Chen Deng's order, all the soldiers did not express any dissatisfaction. Even if there was no order from Chen Deng, he would have opened the city gate to welcome Cao Jun. Even if he becomes a prisoner, he can still hold a small life in the end. But if you resist, it will definitely be a dead end.

Outside Xuzhou City, looking at Xuzhou City with the city gate open, and looking at the white flag hanging on the city wall of Xuzhou City, Du Chen's heart suddenly fluctuated. He couldn't have imagined that the flood was so powerful that just by letting them soak in it, some people would directly abandon the city and surrender, what a huge power.

As for the various actions above Xuzhou City, Cao Cao suddenly laughed a few times. The Xuzhou he dreamed of was finally taken down. Although the process of taking it was a bit difficult, the result was satisfactory to him.

"Summons the order to enter the city." Cao Cao turned his head and instructed the soldiers beside him, and then rode his horse slowly towards Xuzhou City.

Everyone didn't have any doubts about Cao Cao's decision, so they followed closely behind and followed Cao Cao slowly towards Xuzhou City. Looking at the magnificent city of Xuzhou City, Du Chen couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, when he first arrived at the city of Xuzhou, Du Chen felt that the city wall was so unattainable, but when Xuzhou City was so open to greet him, it seemed so simple,

Just arrived under the gate of Xuzhou City. Du Chen found a polite young man standing on the side of the city gate, and on the side of the young man were all the soldiers defending the city, but at this time, these soldiers had already taken off their armor and put down their weapons. Just standing there quietly,

Seeing Cao Cao Ce step forward, the young man hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, and then, he saw the young man leaning down and bowing to the ground and said, "Weichen Chen Deng, see Prime Minister." ”

Cao Cao looked down at the young man kneeling in front of him, and then said, "You are Chen Deng, you don't need to be polite, get up and speak." ”

Hear the words. Chen Deng hurriedly got up, and after Chen Deng got up, Du Chen also began to look at Chen Deng left and right, no surprise, the biggest internal response in Xuzhou City was Chen Deng in front of him, and for this Chen Deng, Du Chen had also heard of it a little. After all, on the basis of history, Cao Cao's ability to pacify Xuzhou has a lot to do with this Chen Deng.

Of course, what Du Chen didn't expect was that such a lovesickness that is somewhat identical to history, in history, Cao Cao relied on Chen Deng to pacify Lu Bu, and now, it is relying on Chen Deng to take Xuzhou City. Although LΓΌ Bu escaped from Xuzhou City with his cronies, Cao Cao knew that he would die sooner or later.

Separated from the protection of the tall city wall of Xuzhou City, and there are no available generals around him, the so-called Lu Bu is like a grasshopper after the autumn, and he can't reach it for a few days. Even if Chen Gong is unparalleled in resourcefulness, the gap in strength is an insurmountable gap.

Moreover, he has a large number of generals on his side, as long as he entangles Lu Bu, the rest of the generals under Lu Bu are not the opponents of the Cao family's generals, so the battle of Xuzhou has already laid the victory, as long as there are no accidents, Xuzhou is in the bag of the Cao army,

Seeing that someone had been staring at him, Chen Deng subconsciously looked up at the man, and the two looked at each other, Chen Deng suddenly felt that this person was unfathomable, because it could be seen from his eyes alone that this person exuded a wise light.

In an instant, Chen Deng knew the identity of the person in front of him, needless to say, this person must be the first strategist under Cao Cao, Du Chen, one of the three princes.

If you want to gain a foothold in Cao Jun, in addition to your own strength, the easiest and quickest way is to be able to enter Du Chen's eyes, because Du Chen recommended a lot of talents to Cao Cao, and in the end, these talents have great achievements, which shows that Du Chen's eyes are abnormally "vicious",

"I've seen Lord Taiwei." Chen Deng hurriedly stepped forward and said, although the age of the person in front of him is not much different from himself, but Du Chen's behavior is very admirable to Chen Deng, although Chen Deng also has arrogance, but his arrogance does not dare to leak out in front of Du Chen.

"Yuanlong doesn't need to be polite, but Chen should thank you for the majority of soldiers, if it weren't for you, Xuzhou City would definitely not be conquered by our army so easily." Du Chen said to Chen Deng with a smile, and then Du Chen turned his head and said to Cao Cao next to him: "Meng De, Chen Deng is rewarded for breaking the city." ”

"Hmm." Cao Cao nodded and said: "This matter is exactly what he wanted, but now is not the time to talk about this, when the Cao army completely rules Xuzhou, it is not too late to talk about rewards." After speaking, Cao Cao bowed his head and said to Chen Deng: "Yuanlong, enter the city with Cao." ”

"Prime Minister, Weichen still has something to ask for." Listening to Cao Cao's words, Chen Deng hurriedly spoke,

Glancing at Chen Deng suspiciously, Cao Cao said very boldly: "If there is anything, it doesn't hurt to say it, as long as this prime minister can help you." ”

Chen Deng looked at Cao Cao, and then said: "Actually, there is nothing serious, Deng just wants to intercede with the prime minister for all the soldiers present." ”

"Prime Minister, you may not know that before Lu Bu withdrew his army, he had slaughtered many people in the city, and our soldiers were all born and raised in Xuzhou, so ......" Before Chen Deng finished speaking, Cao Cao interrupted him,

"This matter will be handed over to Qi Yuanlong, you have full authority to deal with, if you encounter anything, you can talk to Si Lang directly." As he spoke, Cao Cao also stretched out his hand and pointed at Du Chen on the side, but Du Chen showed a very helpless expression, which looked very miserable.

However, for Chen Denglai, he expressed his extraordinary joy, because he dared to feel that his own was not done in vain after all, compared to Lu Bu, Cao Cao is the master of his dreams, but now there are many resourceful people around the master, and his own go is just the icing on the cake.

However, the icing on the cake is still to do as little as possible, and with Chen Deng, an arrogant person, he doesn't bother to do this, so Chen Deng has already thought that instead of icing on the cake in front of Cao Cao, it is better to go somewhere else to be at ease.

Cao Jun's army entered Xuzhou City leisurely, of course, Du Chen is also among them, the pattern of Xuzhou City makes Du Chen quite refreshing, although it is not as prosperous as Luoyang Xudu, but this is also a rare male city,

Cao Cao's army rested in Xuzhou City for a few days, and then continued to pursue Lu Bu's army, at this time Cao Cao's temperament was very anxious, because he wanted to see Xuzhou completely under his rule as soon as possible, so it was difficult for him to bear a little less.
