Chapter 434: The Eve of the Great War (Part II)

"Interests?" Cao Cao laughed softly, of course he understood what Candle Shadow was talking about.

The world is bustling for profit, and if you want to ensure the benefits, then only a reliable reputation can have the next benefits. Of course, when there are enough benefits, then credibility is nothing. However, as long as they have credibility at this time and can complete the delivered task, then why not believe once?

When Cao Cao came to the tent, the tent was already full of many generals, and the one at the top was also above the handsome position, which was Lu Zhi. Next to the handsome seat, there are also four desks, on the left are Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and on the right are the sect members and a fierce strong man with a big waist and a round waist.

"Dong Zhuo?" Cao Cao's pupils shrank suddenly, and he guessed the identity of this strong man.

His eyes swept over without a trace, and he was close at the touch of a button, but he had already secretly paid attention to Dong Zhuo in his heart. Because of the candle shadow left outside the tent, Dong Zhuo had been mentioned a few months ago, and explained to him everything Dong Zhuo had done.

It's just that...... It's not that he doesn't believe in Candle Shadow, Cao Cao was also very angry at that time, and he had a strong urge to kill Dong Zhuo, and this thought still lingers until now. But he didn't choose to start, because now was the critical moment of the battle of Guangzong, and he believed in what he saw with his own eyes. Because this world is full of too many possibilities, even if Dong Zhuo has become a troublemaker in a period of history, who can guarantee that he will make the same choice as then?

Cao Cao will keep an eye on him, as long as there is a little trend, he will take action to get rid of Dong Zhuo, but it is definitely not now!

"Huh?" Dong Zhuo sensed Cao Cao's prying eyes, and that cold feeling made him frown slightly.

grinning, showing a smile at Cao Cao, the two rows of white teeth shining with a scorching light. It looks like a beast of prey, staring at its prey.

Cao Cao came neither early nor late, just right, he was the last to come to the tent, but he was also within the time of the convening. After he stepped into the tent, the curtain behind him was lowered, and at the same time, outside the tent, the elite of the Han army guarding everywhere. At the same time, there were two generals standing on the left and right sides with guns, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, like door gods, no matter who they were, they couldn't cross them to find out the situation inside the tent.

Maybe this is too much of a fuss, but the Han army's consistent attention to this kind of thing, coupled with Lu Zhi's caution, has led to the current situation. Except for the elite of the Han army guarding and Lu Zhi's personal guards, anyone who approached the tent, including ordinary soldiers in the Han army, would be arrested or killed on the spot, depending on the situation. This vigilance is to continue until the end of the proceedings.

Cao Cao sat down, and he saw Dong Zhuo's smile, but it was extremely vicious. As he turned and walked to his seat, he still felt a gaze move with him, and a chill ran down his spine until he sat down.

"Alright." Seeing Cao Cao come in, Lu Zhi nodded slightly and spoke.

"Now that everyone has arrived, let's get down to business."

"After more than half a month of waiting, it is finally time for the decisive battle. I'm sure you all have some anxiety in your hearts, but for now, the long wait has paid off. ”

Lu Zhi glanced around at the many generals in the tent, and nodded secretly when he noticed the battle intent on everyone's faces. This is what he wants, this long wait, not only to wear off the spirit of the Yellow Turban Army, but also to build many siege trenches, towers, and ladders. In order to hold back, hold back the anger of the generals and soldiers under his command, and wait until the final time to let them out.

The army is worthy of a war, and it is now.

"Sitting on my right is Dong Zhonglang, who was sent by His Majesty to supervise the war, and he will go out with the army. I also hope that the people will do their best to repay His Majesty's grace. Lu Zhimian continued without changing his face.

Dong Zhuozhi came, he fully knew the reason, that is, His Majesty had lost patience. Supervising the war, if he Lu Zhi does not fight, then Dong Zhongying, who is full of violence, and General Dong Zhonglang will take his place and command the troops to fight. So Originally, Lu Zhi was going to wait for a while before going to war, but Dong Zhuo's arrival made him have to advance this time.

"Tomorrow night, the fourth watch, will launch an attack." Lu Zhi explained simply.

"Huangfu Yizhen and Zhu Gongwei each led their headquarters to attack the east and west city walls. Dong Zhongying, led 20,000 soldiers and horses, as well as cavalry, to attack the southern city wall. And I, on the other hand, will lead my army to attack the northern wall. ”

"Next, there are the specific orders of each ministry......"

The candle flame in the tent flickered, and the blurred light and shadow that came out were just like the unrest in someone's heart now. There is still a day or so before the siege time, and the camp is still calm, there is no abnormality, but I don't know what kind of brilliance will erupt when it finally erupts.

"Someone." Xiahou Yuan turned his head and fixed his gaze on a flickering shadow, and then calm returned there.

In the eyes of others, it may be the rotation of light and shadow, but Xiahou Yuan knew that someone was running over there, and with extremely fast speed, he quickly disappeared into the darkness. Needless to say, he already knew the intention of the coming, just for the sake of the handsome tent behind him, and the news in the handsome tent, or ...... Person.

The soldiers in the large camp had long been strictly ordered not to approach the tent, which was told by any soldier who had just joined the army. What's more, the handsome tent that is now under discussion is the most important thing, and the only ones who can give birth to their thoughts at this moment are some bed bugs and rats hidden in the camp. Whether the latter was already present in the battalion or had recently infiltrated, it could not change their purpose.

Xiahou Yuan's feet had just been raised, and he was about to search along the darkness to stop, but he stood still. Suddenly in the distance, the frightened shouts of soldiers were heard, "It's on fire!" ”

When the firelight appeared in the sound, it had already appeared in the field of vision of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Xuan, as well as in the eyes of the elite soldiers around the tent. Little by little, and then by the first fire, it became a mass, and from a mass, split in various parts of the camp.

The sudden flames and the cries of the soldiers woke many of the soldiers who were asleep and ran out of their tents. Holding the weapon tightly and looking at the firelight, only the cold touch of the weapon in their hands could make them feel a little comforted.

Someone attacked the camp? Or is it a spies that set fire to cause chaos? The soldiers who were far away could not know, but with vigilance and vigilance, they stared at the location of the fires everywhere in the camp, and at the same time watched every corner around them to see if there was any enemy infiltration.

"Calm. Stabilization! Three additional patrols were sent to patrol the camp, and the other soldiers were ordered to stay where they were, keeping an eye out for any unusual movements. The officer-like man stepped forward and commanded his soldiers.

In the Han army camp, each camp has its own division and is managed by several captains. Lu Zhi knew that if someone attacked the camp, he didn't care about the number of enemies, but about his own chaos, so he would adopt the current management method under Cao Cao's suggestion.

That's right, these captains who manage their respective camps are only responsible for the internal affairs of their own camps, and only when they receive orders from Lu Zhi, they will act according to the order. Therefore, in the direction of the fire that was lit now, in the camp in the direction of the direction, there is no one to rescue, only they have to deal with it themselves.

"Damn." A Han soldier scolded in a low voice, looking at the soldiers who had experienced the initial panic and began to put out the fire in an orderly manner, with unwillingness in his eyes.

They wanted to cause the soldiers to panic so that they could take the opportunity to accomplish their original goal. But now, this situation means that the difficulty of this is infinitely raised, or even impossible to achieve.

He lowered his head, hid his face, pretended to be a firefighting soldier, and ran quickly. But in fact, he was heading towards the next location, and since one fire was not enough, he put a few more points to make the flames more intense, and he didn't believe that these ordinary soldiers could continue to maintain their composure. The small bottle hidden in his bosom was where all his strength was, and only a little oil was enough to turn a tent made of cloth or leather into a burning torch.

"What's going on out there?" All the generals in the tent heard the shouts of the soldiers one after another, and there was a lot of discussion.

"Silence." Lu Zhi said loudly, without a trace of panic on his face. He had anticipated this situation, and even prepared for it, and was heavily guarded in the most critical camps where grain and grass were stored, as well as all kinds of siege equipment. Not to mention that the heavy troops are the favorite generals of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, which is enough to face all accidents.

This should be just a small-scale attack on the camp, sabotage. If it's the Yellow Turban Army in Gwangjong City? It's not that Lu Zhi is arrogant, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to enter his camp without sound, and only a small group of enemies can blend in. No matter what their purpose is, they can't change the fact that the number of people is scarce after all, and they can still turn the world upside down!

Now, let's move on...... Siege on three sides, actual attack on one side. ”

"Stop coming." A group of soldiers from a distance ran over, but was stopped just as they were about to enter the camp.

"No entry without a military order!" Without the slightest hesitation, the lieutenant who blocked stood in front of the rushing group of soldiers. The soldiers on either side of him also pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords, ready to draw their swords at any moment. As for the pikemen further behind, they kept scanning with their eyes, and the joints of the palms of the hands that held out the barrels of their guns were already white, showing that their hearts were not at peace.

They were not careful, and in the camp behind them, there were all the army's provisions. If there is a problem here, then the whole army will be affected, whether it is men or horses, and they will end up starving. Therefore, even if the person who came was a soldier like himself, and there was nothing unusual about him, they could not be careless.

"We are, the soldiers sent by Lu Shuai to support. Call...... ...... "The soldier who led the team gasped, his face was covered with beads of sweat and at the same time with an anxious look, which did not seem to be fake.

"Hmph. The acting is really clumsy. A laugh full of disdain came, with sarcasm.

"General Sun!" The lieutenant turned his head to look at the opposite of the laughter, and his whole body was stunned.

At this moment, a mutation protruded! The soldier, who was still gasping for breath, turned his gaze cold, and pulled out the short knife hidden at his waist with his backhand, and stepped out, the blade slashing towards the captain's neck. However, there is one person who is faster than him.

"Shake ...... Mountain! ”

The ancient ingot knife came with incomparable power, wrapped in a strong wind.

"Big brother, are you going or am I going?" Xiahou Yuan asked.

Xiahoudun shook his head slowly, unlike Xiahou Yuan, when he saw the fire in the camp, his heart did not fluctuate. Xiahou Yuan's step out represented his former heartbeat, wanting to check the changes in the camp. Only Xiahoudun firmly remembered their task, as long as he kept the tent of the handsome. Even outside, the flood is monstrous!

"Nope. There is no need to go, the soldiers in the barracks are naturally able to handle everything. Miaocai, believing in the soldiers under your command is also one of the things you should learn. ”

"What's more, the current Yellow Turban Bandit Army does not have the ability to raid the camp. Because what they had to cross was definitely not a simple journey, but a lot of barriers, so it was absolutely impossible for them to launch a surprise attack without any sound, unless, there was still an army outside. ”

"Ahh Zhang Banxian sneezed, he didn't know what was happening, his nose was itchy, so he sneezed. Of course, he is the army that is free from the mouth of Xiahoudun, and it was not he who raided the camp of the Han army, and he did not have the will to raid the camp of Guangzong of the Han army.

"I see." Xiahou Yuan scratched his head, revealing an expression of sudden realization. After listening to Xiahou Yuan's words, he had already pressed down his mind of wanting to go out and kill a big fight, he just didn't want to think about it, now that he thought about it carefully, Xiahou Yuan could also understand that keeping the handsome tent was the most important thing.

He grinned suddenly, his head tilted, and a feathered arrow slashed past his mouth, but he bit it firmly with his teeth. With a movement of his left hand, the big bow behind his back had been taken down by Xiahou Yuan, and the arrows shot at him were reflected in his eyes.

These arrows were too slow, so slow that Xiahou Yuan could clearly grasp the trajectory of each feather arrow.

As soon as the mouth was loosened, the feather arrow fell, and it was picked up by Xiahou Yuan and already placed on the bowstring. The whole bowstring was pulled back, and when it was pulled to the limit, there was a sudden explosion, and the feather arrows on the bowstring had already flown out.

The feather arrows collided with the feather arrows shot by the enemy, but for a moment, with a "ding", the enemy's feather arrows were broken from it, and the arrows shot by Xiahou Yuan were castrated, and they did not enter a place in the darkness.

"Uh......" The man in black hidden in the darkness knelt on the ground, one hand tightly covering his chest, and the surprise in his eyes still did not dissipate.

He reluctantly stood up, his palms already gripping the shaft of the arrow, blood between his fingers. The next moment, his eyes widened in surprise, and his body fell backwards heavily.

The second feather arrow appeared on his neck, Qi Gen did not enter, and finally froze, and the white tail feathers were stained blood red.
