In Xuzhou City, teams of Xuzhou soldiers were running back and forth on the streets.

Every time the soldiers walked through a house, they would kick open a door and go inside to check it.

More than a dozen soldiers' corpses were found in the city, and the whole city was boiling, and the Xuzhou army turned almost the entire city upside down, looking for the traces of Deng Zhan and others.

Lu Bu was bent on finding out the murderer and finding out who killed the soldiers and infiltrated the city, but Chen Gong didn't seem to care about the search for the murderer, but the surveillance of Cheng Yu and others was strengthened a lot.

Since more than a dozen soldiers were killed in the city, Lu Bu has not met with Cheng Yu and others for three consecutive days.

Cheng Yu, who was arranged to live in the outer courtyard of the government, did not receive an invitation to meet with Lu Bu for several days, and he also felt a little inappropriate in his heart.

After sending people to investigate, Cheng Yu realized that more than a dozen soldiers in Xuzhou City were inexplicably killed.

Knowing that the Xuzhou army was killed at the head of the city, Cheng Yu secretly screamed in his heart, and hurriedly asked people to invite Jiang Gan to his room.

Since being placed in the outer courtyard of the official mansion, Jiang Gan has always lived in a shallow place to avoid encounters with Diao Chan.

Although as Lu Bu's wife, Diao Chan may not necessarily go to the outer courtyard, but she may go out after all, in case of a collision, I am afraid that the matter of instigating Diao Chan to bewitch Lu Bu to plot rebellion that day will be revealed to the world.

If that's the case, not only will Jiang Gan immediately be in a different place, but I'm afraid Cao Cao will not be able to get rid of it!

Knowing that Cheng Yu was looking for him, Jiang Gan knew that there must be something urgent, so he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly followed the soldiers who came to inform him to Cheng Yu's residence.

Cheng Yu and Jiang Gan lived not far away, the wing room was on the same corridor, but they walked twenty or thirty steps to the door of Cheng Yu's residence.

"Zi Wing!" As soon as Jiang Gan arrived at the door of Cheng Yu's residence, Cheng Yu greeted him and whispered to him: "Please Ziyi come, there is something important to discuss!" ”

"Cheng Gong wants to come down, and he already thinks that there is an urgent matter." As soon as Cheng Yu's words fell, Jiang Gan asked in the same low voice: "But what about the killing of the soldiers of Yin Xuzhou?" ”

"Exactly!" Let Jiang Gan into the house, Cheng Yu closed the door with his own hands, and then said to him: "I am in Xuzhou, Cao Gong will definitely not send people to do such things, in Ziyi's opinion, who did this?" ”

"King Qin!" As soon as Cheng Yu's question was spoken, Jiang Gan didn't think about it and said, "Unless it is King Qin, there is no second person to think of!" ”

"Ziyi's opinion coincides with a certain one!" Jiang Gan said the speculation in his heart, and Cheng Yu said to him: "The reason why Ziyi was invited to come is that Ziyi should not make any moves in the past two days, although Chen Gong will see that Cao Gong will not send someone to sneak into the city, but he will never break it, and we will be like meat on the ground now, and if we are not careful, we will fail!" ”

"I know!" Cheng Yu asked him not to make any moves for the time being, and Jiang Gan hurriedly responded: "In the past two days, I have always felt that there are eyes staring behind me, but I don't want it to be done by that Chen Gong." ”

Cheng Yu invited Jiang Gan to his residence and asked him not to make any moves for the time being.

In the camp of the Cao army outside the city, Cao Cao stood at the front of the barracks, looking at Xuzhou City not far away, his brows were tightly twisted, and he thought that he had no words for a long time.

"Cao Gong!" Just when Cao Cao looked at Xuzhou City and didn't know what he was thinking, Guo Jia walked out of the barracks quickly, came behind him, clasped his fists and saluted him and said: "The news in Xuzhou City is completely cut off, and I don't know how Cheng Yu and the others ......."

"Bonghyo!" Seeing Guo Jia coming over, Cao Cao raised his hand and pointed to the Xuzhou city wall and said to him: "Xuzhou City is afraid that something has happened!" ”

"Yes!" As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Guo Jia said to him: "The news in the city has been completely sealed in the past few days, and we have not learned what happened in the city. It wasn't until Fang Cai that the soldiers said that someone had killed the soldiers defending the city and entered Xuzhou overnight. The reason why the soldiers did not report to Cao Gong was because the news was not yet confirmed! ”

Knowing that someone had killed the guards at the head of the city at night and entered Xuzhou, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, looked at Guo Jia with a shocked face and said: "Xuzhou City is heavily guarded day and night, who has such ability?" ”

"King Qin!" Looking at each other with Cao Cao, Guo Jia said without thinking about it: "The three guards of the Qin army, in the past, were strong in battle, since they returned from the Huns, they closed the military camp all day for training, and they don't know ......what they are training for."

"Feng Xiao is ......" Guo Jia mentioned the three guards of the Qin army, and Cao Cao hurriedly asked: "Will it be the Qin army tiger guards stationed behind our army who will enter the city?" ”

"I'm afraid not!" Guo Jia shook his head, his tone was rare with uncertainty, and said to Cao Cao: "Since Deputy General Hu Benwei entered Xuzhou, our army has strictly monitored them, and has not found any signs of troop and horse movements. If it weren't for the Tiger Guard, it would only be the Qin Army's Dragoon Guard! ”

"Dragoon!" When Guo Jia said the words "Dragoon Guard", his brows were tightly twisted, as if he muttered to himself: "In the past, the Dragoon Guards were trained by the swordsman Deng Zhan himself!" If they have the ability to enter Xuzhou at night and the military camp of the princes of the world, I am afraid they will have nowhere to go! ”

When he said this, Cao Cao only felt a cold sweat break out on his back spine.

If the dragoon guards have the ability to enter the heavily defended Xuzhou at night, once Cao Cao turns against Liu Wei in the future, after the two sides start a war, Liu Wei wants his Cao Cao's head, I am afraid it will not be much difficulty.

"Ming Gong!" Seeing Cao Cao standing there with a stunned face, Guo Jia hugged his fists and called him softly.

It wasn't until Guo Jia called him that Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and shook his head with an unnatural smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Duke Ming thought that if he fought against the King of Qin in the future, the dragoon guard would be a big disaster?" Seeing that Cao Cao's expression was a little unnatural, Guo Jia asked him in a low voice.

Cao Cao didn't speak, just nodded silently, but the look on his face was a little more ugly than before.

Although Cao Cao didn't answer directly, his nodding action already said it all.

Looking at Cao Cao, Guo Jia shook his head with a smile and said to him: "Don't worry about Ming Gong, although he wants to fight with King Qin for Huainan at the moment, the two armies will not fight!" ”

"I just thought that if they turned against King Qin in the future, they would enter Xuzhou at night with a dragon cavalry guard, and they would enter a certain camp at that time, and I am afraid that they would also enter a no-man's land!" Turning his head to look at the city wall of Xuzhou, Cao Cao spoke with a heavy worry in his tone.

I also can't complain that Cao Cao will be afraid of the dragoon guards, the two armies are fighting, and the clear sword and gun can still rely on the soldiers' fighting spirit and strategist strategy to win, but if there is a powerful black hand in the secret, it will make people wary of it.

The Xuzhou army searched for Deng Zhan and others in the city, and Cao Cao, who was outside the city, was also a little more afraid of the dragoon guards who could enter Xuzhou at night, but the dragoons at this time lived a very comfortable life.

Although Xuzhou City is very large, the houses in the city are under the control of the Xuzhou army.

Fortunately, when leading the dragoon guards into the city, Deng Zhan did not choose to let the soldiers find a house to live in, but led them to take advantage of the night to blend into the Xuzhou military camp.

Changing into the clothes and armor stolen from the Xuzhou military warehouse, Deng Zhan and the others swaggered and stayed in the barracks.

The most dangerous place is often the best hiding place, and it is precisely because of this that Deng Zhan made this choice to be dark under the lights.

After fighting with the Cao army besieging the city for several days, the Xuzhou army in the city had long been disrupted, and many officers and soldiers lived in the same barracks, but they were not familiar with each other.

Mixed in with more than 20,000 Xuzhou troops, there are only more than 500 dragoon guards, which can be directly ignored in terms of quantity.

Since the day after the dragoon guards entered the city, Lu Bu ordered the whole city to search for the fine work that had entered the city.

Every time the Xuzhou army entered the streets of the city to search, Deng Zhan would also take five hundred dragoons to pretend to look for them in the city.

When there were many Xuzhou soldiers on the streets of the city, they even had more houses than anyone entered, and all the dragoon guards were searching for their traces in Xuzhou City like crazy!

If Lu Bu knew that the murderers who killed more than a dozen Xuzhou soldiers were searching for their own traces in the army, I am afraid that he would immediately be so depressed that he vomited three or four liters of blood.

Leading a team of more than 20 dragoon guards, Deng Zhan pretended to inspect the houses in the city one by one.

After asking if any suspicious characters had been found in a family, Deng Zhan walked out of the door of that house, and Huang Sheng, who led another team of people to investigate in the city, led the team towards the place where Deng Zhan and the others were.

"Have you found anyone who behaves strangely?" Huang Sheng just came to Deng Zhan with the team, and Deng Zhan asked him seriously.

Huang Sheng was stunned for a moment when Deng Zhan asked him like this, and then whispered to Deng Zhan: "The general's question is quite strange, I'm afraid that we are people in Xuzhou City who are acting strangely!" ”

Huang Sheng spoke with a little self-deprecation in his tone, Deng Zhan grinned at him, and also lowered his voice and said: "I am a soldier under Lu Bu right now, and I want to be loyal to Lu Bu and investigate the murderer for him!" ”

Deng Zhanzheng was talking to Huang Sheng, and accidentally glanced behind Huang Sheng, and saw that a member of the General Xuzhou was walking towards them quickly with several soldiers, his face suddenly turned sideways, and he whispered to Huang Sheng: "Wei Xu is here, he recognizes General Ben, you go and report to him that there is nothing abnormal, and General Ben leads people to other places!" ”

"No!" Deng Zhan said that Wei Xu was coming, Huang Sheng turned his head and glanced back, and sure enough, he found that Wei Xu and several soldiers had already walked to a place only twenty or thirty steps away from them, so he hurriedly answered, and walked over with a group of soldiers who had previously followed him to check for suspicious people in the market.

Huang Sheng greeted Wei Xu, Deng Zhan did not delay at all, glanced at the remaining soldiers, and turned his head to walk to the street on the other side.
