In the night, dozens of dark shadows burst out of the alleys and sneaked quietly towards the city gates.

When they got closer to the city gate, the leading black shadow made a gesture to everyone behind him, and took the lead in jumping towards a Cao soldier at the outermost part of the city gate.

At the same time, in a field outside the city, Lu Bu, who was still wearing Cao Jun's armor, stood side by side with Diao Chan, staring at Xuzhou City at night in the distance.

"Wen Hou might as well go to Luoyang with his concubine......" Snuggling up to Lu Bu, Diao Chan whispered to him: "The Xuzhou area has fallen into the hands of Cao Jun, and Wen Hou is left here alone......"

"There is still a camp under a certain command!" Before Diao Chan's words fell, Lu Bu glanced back at the group of soldiers behind him who were eating the food given by the Dragoon Guard, and said to Diao Chan: "Although there are more than 500 people in the camp at the moment, a certain person is determined to fight that Cao Cao to the end!" ”

"Chen Gong is also leaving, Wei Xu and others rebel, who can Wen Hou rely on in the future?" Looking up at Lu Bu's resolute face, Diao Chan whispered to him: "Even if Wen Hou can get to Pi and has no soldiers and horses under his command, how can he resist Cao Cao?" ”

"Princess......" Lu Bu turned around, held Diao Chan's fragrant shoulders with both hands, and whispered to her: "I owe the King of Qin several lives this time, but I think I betrayed the King of Qin that day, if I don't repay the great favor, even if I go to Luoyang, I will have no shame to meet the King of Qin!" ”

"Wen Hou thinks about the concubine body." Lowering his head, Diao Chan was silent for a moment before he sighed lightly and said to Lu Bu: "Since Wen Hou intends to stay in Xuzhou, it is inconvenient for the concubine to persuade her. It's just that Wen Hou must remember that once the concubine knows that Wen Hou has encountered an accident, she will definitely go with Wen Hou! ”

"The princess's affection, a certain has been known!" Hugging Diao Chan's slender waist, Lu Bu looked at Xuzhou City in the distance, and said to Diao Chan: "General Deng and others are still trapped in the city in order to save us, and every time I think about it today, I will feel guilty!" ”

Hugged by Lu Bu, Diao Chan snuggled in his arms, and looked at the Xuzhou city wall in the distance with him, although he didn't speak, his pretty face also showed a worry.

"Marquis Wen, the general is back!" Just as Lu Bu and Diao Chan were looking at the city wall of Xuzhou, Chen Gong walked over from behind them and said to Lu Bu with his fists.

"Gongtai!" Hearing Chen Gong speak, Lu Bu let go of the hand holding Diao Chan's slender waist, turned around and saluted Chen Gong and said: "A certain regret is not at the beginning, if you act according to the plan of the public platform, you will not have today's defeat!" ”

"It's come to this, it's useless for Wen Hou to think about it!" Putting down the fists he had picked up, Chen Gong said to him: "The Xuzhou army has been broken by the Cao army, and now there are only a few hundred camps left in Wenhou. If Wen Hou wants to delay the time and obstruct Cao's army from entering Huainan, he must take more measures and not fight Cao's army head-on! ”

Listening to Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu nodded, sighed lightly and said, "I got Xuzhou, but in a few months, I lost it again!" A certain hate did not listen to the words of the public station! Now the public platform is going to Luoyang, the king of Qin is the lord of the Ming, and the public platform can serve the king of Qin! ”

Lu Bu's words were poignant and inexplicable, and Chen Gong was speechless for a long time after hearing it.

was rescued from Xuzhou City by the dragoon guards, and Chen Gong was ready to go to Luoyang to serve Liu Wei. But when Lu Bu said this, listening to his ears, it was still a little uncomfortable.

Chen Gong didn't speak, Lu Bu already knew what he was thinking in his heart, and arched his fist at him before asking him: "Fang Cai Gongtai said that the general returned, I don't know where it is?" ”

"Wen Hou and look!" Raising his hand and pointing in the direction of Xuzhou City, Chen Gong said to Lu Bu: "Isn't it General Deng who came?" ”

Following the direction of Chen Gong's finger, Lu Bu saw dozens of black shadows rushing towards them.

The distance from those black shadows was still far away, and the faces of the people who were rushing towards this side could not be seen clearly in the night, Lu Bu frowned slightly, and asked Chen Gong, "How did Gongtai know that it was General Deng?" ”

"Wen Hou will know in a moment!" Chen Gong didn't answer him, but responded with an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth.

When Chen Gong said this, Lu Bu was inconvenient to ask, and turned his head to look at the black shadow that was running towards them with Diao Chan.

The black shadow was getting closer and closer, and when it came to a place that was only more than ten steps away from Lu Bu and the others, Lu Bu finally saw clearly that it was indeed Deng Zhan and the others.

Seeing Deng Zhan, Lu Bu hurriedly greeted him.

"General Deng!" Striding in front of Deng Zhan, Lu Bu stretched out his hand, pulled Deng Zhan's hands tightly and said to him: "General Enyi, in order to save a husband and wife, he actually trapped his family in Xuzhou. I've been waiting here for a long time, in case the general has a ......"

At this point, Lu Bu didn't continue.

Deng Zhan smiled slightly, and said to Lu Bu: "Just Xuzhou, you can't keep us." And that Cao Cao transferred the soldiers and horses from the city gate, and it was easy for me to wait for me to go out of the city! ”

"Cao Cao transferred the city gate guards?" Listening to Deng Zhan's words, Lu Bu's face suddenly showed a blankness.

"Before the general returned, he already knew that there must be no danger!" Lu Bu's face was full of suspicion, but Chen Gong walked over with a smile on his face and said to Deng Zhan: "It's just that Cao Cao already knows that His Highness is secretly making a move!" ”

"yes!" Nodding, Deng Zhan's brows furrowed slightly, and he said to Lu Bu and Chen Gong: "I will leave Xuzhou and return to Luoyang early tomorrow morning, can Wen Hou make a plan?" ”

"There are still 500 traps under a certain command!" Hearing Deng Zhan's question, Lu Bu hurriedly said: "The King of Qin is going to delay Cao Cao now, so he will lead the soldiers of the camp to deal with the Cao army!" ”

Hearing that Lu Bu was willing to stay in Xuzhou and deal with Cao Cao, Deng Zhan did not persuade him to leave, the two had already agreed in Xuzhou City earlier, Lu Bu stayed in Xuzhou to contain Cao Cao, and in case of trouble, Zhao Yun's Tiger Benwei would go to the rescue.

"The last general has already heard clearly!" Staring at Lu Bu, Deng Zhan said to him: "The Cao army in the Xiapi area has not arrived, Wen Hou can go to Xiapi to recruit soldiers and horses, and His Highness will supply them as needed!" ”

"General Deng!" As soon as Deng Zhan's words fell, Chen Gong on the side interjected and said: "The reason why Cao Cao deliberately let the general and others leave is because he doesn't want to be an enemy of His Highness too early. It's just that Cao Cao and His Highness both know that sooner or later there will be a battle between the two armies, and if Wen Hou submits to His Highness in the future, it will be a big trouble for Cao Cao's henchmen, so it is necessary to kill Wen Hou! ”

"What do you think, sir?" Turning his head to look at Chen Gong, Deng Zhan asked him.

First lowered his head and groaned slightly, then Chen Gong looked up at Deng Zhan and said to him: "The recruitment of new soldiers has no combat power, Wen Hou has arrived in Xiapi, even if more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are recruited, and the soldiers lack training, it is difficult to compete with Cao's army!" When he arrived in Xiapi, Wen Hou might as well lead the 500 camps and deal with Cao's army, or he could delay for a little longer! ”

"What does Wen Hou think?" Deng Zhan did not immediately respond to Chen Gong, but turned his head to ask Lu Bu.

Lu Bu smiled slightly, and said to Deng Zhan: "What Gongtai said is very true, even if the soldiers and horses are recruited, it is difficult to win the Cao army if the soldiers have not participated in the battle formation. And the army is entrenched in the Xuzhou area, and the consumption of grain and grass is not calculated, and I heard that the king of Qin is also short of food in the army now......"

At this point, Lu Bu did not continue, but clasped his fists and bowed to Deng Zhan and said to him: "The princess will be entrusted to the general!" ”

"Wen Hou rest assured!" hugged his fist and gave Lu Bu a salute back, and Deng Zhan said to him: "The last general will definitely ensure that Princess Anyang goes to Luoyang safely!" ”

Deng Zhan led dozens of dragoons to flee Xuzhou, but after a stick of incense, more than 100 Cao soldiers surrounded Cao Cao and came to the gate where they had escaped.

On the ground near the city gate, there were more than a dozen Cao soldiers lying horizontally.

Riding on horseback and looking down at the Cao soldiers lying near the city gate, Cao Cao said to one of his own soldiers behind him: "Go and see the wounds of the deceased, but they are like soldiers found in the daytime!" ”

The soldiers responded, turned over and jumped off their horses, and quickly ran to the side of the dozen or so Cao soldiers lying at the gate of the city.

After inspecting several Cao Jun lying on the ground, the personal soldier turned back to Cao Cao, clasped his fists and bowed to Cao Cao and said: "Qi Ming Gong, all the soldiers lying on the ground are alive, but they just fainted!" ”

"Huh?" Knowing that those soldiers were still alive, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Guo Jia on the side.

Guo Jia had an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth, and when he saw Cao Cao looking at him, he said to Cao Cao: "I think it was because the people who fled heard that Ming Gong withdrew the soldiers and deliberately let them go, so they didn't kill the soldiers when they started, and it can be regarded as a favor from Ming Gong!" ”

"Feng Xiao means that those people were nearby at the time?" Guo Jia said that Cao Cao's transfer of soldiers might be heard by the fleeing people, Cao Cao was shocked, and hurriedly said: "At that time, our army was everywhere here, and they could still lie dormant in the dark, but now that I think about it, it's really terrifying!" ”

"Qin Army Dragoon Guard!" Guo Jia's eyes narrowed slightly, looked up at the night sky, and said to Cao Cao: "Such a strong force, in the future, the Duke of Ming and the King of Qin should indeed be cautious!" ”

From Guo Jia's face, Cao Cao also saw a worry that was difficult to hide.

He frowned tightly and was silent for a moment before whispering to Guo Jia, "Is there a way to eradicate the Qin Army's dragoons?" ”

"Encircle and annihilate!" Turning his head to look at Cao Cao, Guo Jia always maintained that indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to him: "It's just that the Ming Duke can't be like this right now, if the dragon cavalry guard is exterminated, the King of Qin may give up Huainan and march into Xuchang in a big way!" At present, the King of Qin is powerful, and it is difficult for the Ming Duke to compete with him! ”

Although he deeply understood Guo Jia's words, he thought that the dragoon guards could enter Xuzhou and rescue Lu Bu and others from the city under the nose of Cao Jun, Cao Cao's heart was tense.

The conquest and fighting on the battlefield was nothing to Cao Cao, but secretly there was a strong force that coveted his head at any time, which made Cao Cao feel very uneasy in his heart.

After being silent for a long time, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and instructed the soldiers behind him: "Wake up the unconscious soldiers, and then take them all to the official mansion, and ask them personally how they were knocked unconscious!" ”
