More than a dozen dragoon guards half-knelt in front of the sleeping dragoons, and without waiting for Huang Sheng's order, they all reached out to grab the cheeks of the Xuzhou soldiers in front of them, and suddenly twisted their necks at the moment when those Xuzhou soldiers woke up.

With a neat sound of "click", the necks of more than a dozen Xuzhou soldiers were twisted off by the dragoon guards at the same time.

After solving these Xuzhou soldiers, the dragoon guards took out the grappling hooks and ropes they carried with them, hung the grappling hooks on the battlements lightly, and threw the ropes off the city wall.

Deng Zhan, who had been waiting at the foot of the city wall, saw that the rope had been dropped on the head of the city, and hurriedly waved to the dragoon guards who were dormant behind him.

Five hundred dragoons ran to the ropes, grabbing them one by one to climb to the walls.

On the city wall, Deng Zhan glanced at the corpses of the dozen or so Xuzhou soldiers who had been solved, and pointed at the edge of the battlements very casually.

The dragoon guards who had been personally taught special combat gestures by Liu Wei did not need to speak when performing tasks, and they knew what Deng Zhan's orders were only through gestures.

While Deng Zhan pointed to the corner, more than a dozen dragoon guards dragged the corpses to the corner and hastily hid them.

The Dragoon Guards were worthy of being a special combat force that had been specially trained to climb reinforcements, but in a matter of moments, five hundred people followed more than twenty ropes to the city wall.

After everyone climbed the city wall, Deng Zhan beckoned again.

More than twenty dragoon guards immediately removed the grappling hooks and ropes hanging from the city walls and re-hung them on the battlements on the other side.

Leading more than 500 dragoon guards, they went down the rope to the city, and the dragoon guards who got off the city wall at the last of the city shook violently with the rope in one hand.

As the group of dragoons shook the ropes, the grappling hooks detached from the battlements and fell at the foot of the walls.

Although the movements of the dragoon guards were quite complicated, the whole process did not take much time.

Seeing that the dragoon guards who shook off the rope coiled up the grappling hook, Deng Zhan beckoned again, and led more than 500 people into the alleys of the city quickly, disappearing into the thick night.

More than 500 people infiltrated Xuzhou, but the soldiers guarding the Xuzhou city wall did not find it.

It wasn't until dawn that a team of Xuzhou soldiers changed the guard that they found that the city wall that the dragoon guards had infiltrated was empty.

Looking at the empty city wall, the Xuzhou officer who led the team of soldiers to change guards turned his head and looked around in astonishment.

"Why don't you even have half a figure?" Looking around the empty city, the officer's brows furrowed tightly, as if muttering to himself.

Just as he finished saying this, his gaze rested on a black and red mass on the ground.

The mass of things stuck to the ground, as if a layer of lichen had grown on the bluestone slab under his feet.

Seeing the mass of things, the officer strode forward, squatted on the ground and gently picked at it with his fingernails.

Picking out a small piece of black and red object, the officer twisted it with his fingers, and his eyes suddenly widened and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Hurry up and look for something strange in the neighborhood!" ”

Although the black-red thing was dry, it could be seen from the powder that it was a puddle of human blood stuck to the ground.

The nearby walls were empty, and there were blood stains on the ground, so the officer could not be in a state of panic.

The soldiers who had come with him to change their guard received the order and immediately searched for them in the nearest place.

It was only a moment before one of the soldiers suddenly cried out, "Found them!" ”

Hearing the soldier's shout, the officer and a group of soldiers hurriedly ran to the place where the shout was made.

What appeared in their sight were a dozen corpses that had been frozen all night.

Seeing the dozen or so corpses stacked together, the officer was stunned for a moment, and then squatted down next to the corpses and examined them carefully.

After examining more than a dozen dead bodies one by one, the officer turned his head and shouted to a soldier behind him: "Go and report to Wen Hou, more than ten corpses of our army have been found on the city wall, two of them have sword wounds in their throats, and the incisions are very smooth, and the wounds of the two are actually connected in a line, they should have been killed by someone with a sword!" The other dozen or so corpses had no external injuries, but the neck bone had been broken, and the neck should have been broken by someone! ”

One of the soldiers answered, turned and ran down the wall.

Not long after, Lu Bu, who got the news, rushed to the city in a hurry, accompanied by Chen Gong.

Looking at the more than ten corpses stacked in one place, Lu Bu's brows tightened, and he said to Chen Gong beside him: "The corpses were hidden, thinking that someone had climbed the city wall, and they did not attack our army, but they just killed more than ten people and disappeared without a trace. ”

"Wen Hou didn't expect it badly!" Before Lu Bu's words fell, Chen Gong hurriedly took over his words and said: "I only discussed peace with Cao Cao's envoy during the day, but at night there was such a strange situation, Wen Hou didn't feel that this matter was a little strange?" ”

When Chen Gong said this, Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, his brows tightened, and after a long time, he whispered to Chen Gong and asked, "In the sense of public platform, who did this matter?" ”

"I don't know!" Looking at the more than a dozen corpses, Chen Gong shook his head, and said in his words: "I just think it's too much of a coincidence......"

Although Chen Gong did not say who sent someone to infiltrate Xuzhou, from his words, Lu Bu could also hear the unusual meaning of writing.

Turning his head to look at Chen Gong, Lu Bu pondered for a while before he said to a soldier behind him: "Pay close attention to Cao Cao's envoys and see who they are dealing with!" ”

Hearing Lu Bu's instructions to the soldiers, the corners of Chen Gong's eyes twitched slightly.

Ever since Cao Cao showed signs of peace talks, Lu Bu has been committed to currying favor with Cao Cao.

It was already seen that Cao Cao had other plans, and Chen Gong repeatedly reminded Lu Bu, but Lu Bu took his words as wind in his ears and didn't care at all.

When he learned that a soldier had been killed at night on the city wall, Chen Gong was most suspicious of not Cao Cao, but the Qin army near Xuzhou.

The Qin army had already seen that Cao Cao's intentions were unfavorable to Lu Bu, and sneaked into Xuzhou at night, probably just to kill these more than ten soldiers to arouse Lu Bu's suspicion of Cao Cao.

Some sympathized with the killing of more than a dozen soldiers, and also thought that the real culprit might be the Qin army who sneaked into Xuzhou at night, but Chen Gong did not break the words, but instead planted the charge on Cao Cao's head.

If Lu Bu was as thoughtful as Chen Gong, when Chen Gong splashed dirty water on Cao Cao, he should have seen that Chen Gong had a heart to do it.

But Lu Bu did not have such careful thinking, and when Chen Gong deliberately led the target of suspicion to Cao Cao, Lu Bu also subconsciously doubted Cao Cao's sincerity in proposing peace talks.

Cheng Yu entered Xuzhou to negotiate peace with Lu Bu, Deng Zhan led the dragoon guards into Xuzhou at night, and Zhao Yun gave Chen Gong a piece of wolf dung, and all these news reached the ears of Liu Wei who was far away in Luoyang a few days later.

After getting the news of Cheng Yu's entry into Xuzhou, Liu Wei didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth pulled slightly towards Lu, revealing a sneering smile.

In the past few days, Xu Shu and others have been busy arranging for businessmen to go to Huainan.

Many officials and businessmen received instructions to go to Huainan to exchange cloth for grain and grass, and they purchased hemp everywhere under Liu Wei's rule

Cloth.

All of a sudden, the price of linen cloth near Luoyang soared, and it was actually close to the momentum of silk.

The officials and businessmen who had purchased enough linen cloth rushed to Huainan after filling up the carts, and Liu Wei and others had to wait, but the officials and businessmen exchanged the linen cloth for a cart of grain and grass and transported it back to Luoyang.

"Your Highness, General Deng has already led the dragoon guards into Xuzhou, and General Zhao is also waiting outside the city to respond, but at the moment, Xuzhou is afraid that it is not easy to break!" Sitting in the hall with Liu Wei, Xu Shu looked at Liu Wei and said to him: "General Deng entered the city and killed more than a dozen Xuzhou soldiers at the head of the city. That Chen Gong must have seen that it was our army who was secretly attacking, and the reason why he didn't break it was to make Lu Bu have a little more doubts about Cao Cao......

"Deng Zhan and Zhao Yun both saw that Cao Cao secretly had a deployment." His gaze swept over the faces of Xu Shu and Pang Tong who were sitting in the hall, and Liu Wei said to them: "If it weren't for that, with their temperament, they would definitely still be watching from a distance, and they would definitely not intervene too early!" ”

"The two generals are cautious, and if they make such a move, I think the situation in Xuzhou is urgent!" Since entering the hall, Pang Tong has been bowing his head and pondering something, and when Liu Wei mentioned that Deng Zhan and Zhao Yun were afraid that Cao Cao had a secret deployment, he raised his head and looked at Liu Wei and said: "Brother Fang Caiyuan has already said that although Lu Bu is at a disadvantage at the moment, with General Deng making such trouble, most of the peace talks will not be able to continue!" Once Lu Bu was defeated, he had only two ways to go, one was to immediately go north to seek refuge from His Highness; The other is to go south into the border of Xiapi, and then go to Jingzhou to seek refuge with Liu Biao. ”

"I'm afraid that Lu Bu won't come to seek refuge from this king!" Before Pang Tong's words fell, Liu Wei shook his head and took over his words and said: "Lu Bu turned his back on this king that day, and now he comes to serve again, and he is also very afraid of this king!" According to Shiyuan's words, he will definitely go to Xiapi! ”

After listening to Liu Wei's analysis, Pang Tong and Xu Shu didn't speak, but just turned their heads to look at him, waiting for him to continue.

His gaze wandered around the faces of Pang Tong and Xu Shu, and Liu Wei continued: "If this king led the dragon cavalry guards in Xuzhou, he would definitely not enter Xuzhou at this time. touched the city wall and killed a few Xuzhou soldiers, which made Lu Bu a little more suspicious of Cao Cao, so he immediately withdrew! Now that they have entered Xuzhou, they have tied their own family to Lu Bu, once the city of Xuzhou is broken, the dragoon guards want to leave, I am afraid that there will be a fight! ”

"Your Highness means ......" When Liu Wei said this, Xu Shu looked at him without blinking, and asked in a low voice: "Let General Deng lead the dragoon guards to leave Xuzhou City immediately?" ”

"Cao Jun's soldiers are coming to the city, and the Xuzhou army knows that someone has infiltrated the city, and there must be a search." Before Liu Wei could reply, Pang Tong took Xu Shu's words and said: "At this time, even if they have the heart to order General Deng to lead the dragoon guards out of Xuzhou, I'm afraid they will be difficult!" ”
