Cao Bao looked up, and sure enough, he saw several figures shaking on the west wall of Tancheng, at first Cao Bao thought it was a sentry in the city, but when he saw those people holding lanterns in their hands, Cao Bao suddenly realized that there were spies!

Since Liu Ze had been in charge of Xuzhou for two years, although Tancheng had changed hands, Cao Bao knew that there must be forces loyal to Liu Ze in Tancheng, which was also the reason why he was doubly careful to guard against spies, preventing the spies in the city from merging with the army outside the city.

"Catch the spy!" Although Cao Bao didn't bring many people, he didn't have time to greet Xu Tan, who was guarding the West City Gate, and immediately led people up the steps and pounced on the group.

"Take them all, don't let one go!" Cao Bao shouted angrily, someone dared to report to Liu Jun outside the city under his nose, it was really bold.

When Cao Bao rushed up with his troops, those people drew their weapons and protected them in front of a person, confronting Cao Bao's people, who was obviously an important person.

When Cao Bao was still wondering who this person was, the man had already turned around, and by the light of the lantern, Cao Bao saw the man's face clearly, but he couldn't help but be shocked, and shouted: "Chen Deng—how could it be you?" ”

Chen Deng smiled calmly: "Why can't it be me?" General Cao. ”

Cao Bao pointed at Chen Deng with his hand, seemingly a little suspicious and a little surprised. "You...... You actually reported to Liu Ze? ”

Chen Deng smiled and said, "General Cao, you are wrong. It's not a ventilating message, but you can go down into the city—"

Cao Bao glanced at the city through the battlements, although it was now dark outside, he could still vaguely see a large number of black shadows shaking, obviously this was Liu Ze's army preparing to launch a night attack, and it had already attacked the city. Cao Bao was so shocked that he exclaimed: "Someone! Come! The enemy is attacking the city! Hurry up and meet the enemy! ”

The soldiers who were resting under the city heard the shouts, took up their weapons and poured into the walls. Xu Wei, the guard of the West Gate, also hurried up with his soldiers.

Cao Bao looked at Chen Deng and said in a deep voice: "Chen Deng." Are you crazy? Even if Liu Ze enters the city. Can I spare you and me? ”

Chen Deng laughed and said, "It's not you and me, it's you, Cao Bao, I can sue you responsibly." Liu Yuanjun will definitely not spare your life! ”

Cao Bao seemed to understand something. Lost his voice: "It turns out ...... It turns out that you have always been Liu Ze's undercover spy. What kind of dedication to the city to seek refuge in Wenhou is all fake. ”

The smile on Chen Deng's face did not decrease, and he said leisurely: "You can understand this. It seems that you are still not too stupid, tell you the truth, Liu Yuanjun has already concluded that after he leaves Xuzhou, you will definitely collude with Lu Bu to seize Xuzhou, so he specially ordered me to lurk, pretend to take refuge in you, and when Liu Yuanjun's army returns to the city, the inside and outside should cooperate to capture you traitors! ”

Cao Bao's face twisted, and he said sharply: "I should have thought that you Chen Deng was Liu Ze's sworn friend, how could you betray Liu Ze?" It turns out that you are a bitter trick, you and Zhang Fei have already colluded, deliberately let Zhang Fei whip you, deceive my trust, and induce Wen Hou to sneak attack Tancheng, it turns out that this qiē is all your game? You are so despicable! ”

Chen Gong put away his smile and said coldly: "Yes, this qiē was carefully arranged by the lord, but Cao Bao, if you and Lu Bu are not greedy, how can you enter this game?" ”

Cao Bao couldn't help but be speechless, yes, if it wasn't for their plot against Xuzhou, how could they fall into Liu Ze's trap?

Chen Gong said: "From the assassination of Lanling to Xiao Jian's rebellion, when did Cao Bao's every move escape the eyes of the lord, the sky is evil, you can still do it, you can do it yourself, you can't live!" ”

"What?" Cao Bao's heart sank suddenly, and he cried out in a lost voice: "How do you know that the Lanling assassination was instigated by me?" ”

Chen Gong sneered and said: "If people don't know, unless you don't do it, Cao Bao, no matter how deep you hide, you will still be exposed after all." In fact, there are only a few people in Xuzhou who have the courage to assassinate Liao Liao, and those assassins are ruthless and organized, and at first glance they are people who came out of the military camp, and the only ones in charge of the Xuzhou sergeants are you and Cao Hong, but the accent of these assassins is the local accent of Xuzhou and not the Danyang accent, so the only possibility for these assassins is the people under your Cao Bao. ”

Cao Bao was dumbfounded, and said hatefully: "I didn't expect the old man to make careful arrangements, but it is a pity that he failed to cut you off that day, leaving such a disaster, which led to today's incident." ”

"Cao Bao, Liu Yuanjun has given you opportunities again and again, I don't blame the past, I hope you can reform yourself, but unfortunately you have a hard time and a thief heart is not dead. Lu Bu came, you couldn't wait to hook up with him, and married your daughter to Lu Bu, and the ambition of colluding with Xuzhou inside and outside was clearly revealed, so Liu Yuanjun took such a step to invite Jun into the urn. The lord is really calculating, not a single qiē is what he expected, you and Lu Bu wolf bèi are in cahoots, if you really take the opportunity to rebel, it is really a crime that cannot be punished! “

Cao Bao suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and said with a hideous face: "Chen Deng, what should you do if you know?" Hasn't Liu Ze entered the city yet, one day with my Cao Bao, he doesn't want to step into Xuzhou City! And you, don't be ashamed, the old man will cut off your head first, see how you can report to Liu Ze! Xu Wei, don't take down the anti-thief Chen Deng soon! ”

Chen Deng looked at Cao Bao, who was furious and furious, and did not speak, with a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xu Wei came out in response, but he didn't pull the knife, but pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, walked towards Chen Deng, stood in front of Chen Deng for a moment, nodded, and then stood behind Chen Deng's side.

Cao Bao looked horrified, no wonder Chen Deng was so fearless, it turned out that he had already bought Xu Wei, Cao Bao couldn't help but angrily pointed at Xu Wei and said, "Xu Wei...... You...... The old man treats you well, why did you rebel? ”

Xu Tan raised his head and said in a deep voice: "General Cao's kindness is naturally not forgotten below, but there is a sixty-year-old mother below, a wife and children below, and you have to consider them below." Now that Liu Envoyjun's army is pressing, Xuzhou City can be broken overnight, knowing the current affairs is Junjie, General Cao should also be captured, go to Liu Envoyjun to ask for guilt before driving, maybe Liu Envoyjun will be merciful and will forgive your life again. ”

"If you betray Lu Wenhou, you will definitely not die a good death!" Cao Bao's eyes were cracked, and he said sharply.

Chen Deng smiled and said: "It's hard to say whether Lu Bu can escape to death tonight, Cao Bao, Liu Yuanjun's army is about to enter the city, you are already at the end of the road, do you still want to resist stubbornly?" ”

Cao Bao hissed and shouted: "Impossible, as long as I Cao Bao is here, Liu Ze doesn't want to enter the city!" ”

The city gate at his feet seemed to respond to Cao Bao's words, and before his words fell, the city gate had already creaked open, and there was a noisy sound, obviously Liu Jun had entered the city.

Guarding the west gate is Xu Wei, Liu Ze is pressing the army outside the city, Lu Bu went out of the city to fight, and returned with a heavy defeat, Xu Wei and others are also panicked, following Cao Bao's rebellion was originally to seek a good future, but in the blink of an eye, the shape suddenly changed, Liu Ze returned strongly, Lu Bu's army was defeated like a mountain, and the fall of Tancheng was just around the corner. Xu Wei and others want to cry without tears, their small furniture is in Xuzhou, once Liu Ze enters the city, the fate of those who followed Cao Bao's rebellion can naturally be known, and Xu Wei is remorseful when he comes to this step.

Just when Xu Wei was in a panic, Chen Deng secretly came to see him, saying that as long as he abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, opened the city gate to receive Liu Yuanjun's army into the city, not only would he not be guilty of his past achievements, but Liu Yuanjun would also be rewarded. Xu Wei was like grasping a life-saving straw in the vast ocean, and he was grateful to Chen Deng and swore allegiance to Liu Yuanjun. Not only did Xu Wei surrender, but even Zhang Zhen and others also surrendered, and the four gates of Xuzhou City had already fallen under Chen Deng's control, but Cao Bao was only hidden. And today is the day when Chen Deng and Liu Ze agreed to cooperate with the inside and outside, and Xu Wei ordered his henchmen to open the city gate as soon as the hour arrived, welcoming Liu Ze's army into the city.

Cao Bao's face changed greatly, and he no longer dared to entangle with Chen Deng, so he hurriedly went down to the city to check.

Xu Wei said to Chen Deng: "Master Chen, do you want the last general to send someone to take down Cao Bao?" ”

Chen Deng waved his hand and said: "No need, it is the three generals Yide who led the troops into the city, so let's give this favor to the three generals." ”

Cao Bao jumped down the steps in three steps and two steps, although he was over fifty years, but he had been fighting for many years, and his skills were quite vigorous, looking back to see that Chen Deng, Xu Wei and others did not chase after him, a little relieved, but seeing that Liu Ze's army had poured in like a tide from the open city gate, Cao Bao couldn't help but gasp.

It's over, it's all over! Cao Bao was completely desperate, he did everything he could, and in the end it became a dream. However, Cao Bao is still unwilling to be captured, by the way, there is also Lu Bu, Lu Bu has the courage to be unstoppable, as long as he follows Lu Bu, even if Xuzhou City cannot be saved, there is still hope for escaping from Xuzhou. So Cao Bao hurriedly stepped on the horse and wanted to go back to find Lu Bu.

In this night attack on Xuzhou, Zhang Fei was naturally the first to stand up, Xuzhou was lost in his hands, he must be the first to enter the city no matter what, and recapture the lost Xuzhou. Liu Ze naturally complied with his wishes, and sent Zhang Fei to lead an army to attack the west gate guarded by Xu Wei, and Tai Shici led an army to attack the east gate guarded by Zhang Xu, and attacked from east to west to take Xuzhou.

Zhang Fei had already led his troops to the city, waiting for Chen Deng to send a signal on the city, and waited until the third watch, but when he saw a red lantern on the city wall, Zhang Fei immediately led his troops to the city gate, and the defenders also opened the city gate at the same time and let Zhang Fei enter the city. Zhang Fei led the army into the stream, Zhang Fei's eyes were big, and he saw the familiar back at a glance, and shouted:

"Cao Bao Piff, Hugh go!" (To be continued......)
