Chapter 161: Escape
Kong Rong and LΓΌ Bu had already left, and they each returned to the camp to prepare for tomorrow's change of troops and Cao Cao's possible withdrawal of troops.
At this time, in the big tent, only Lu Yi and Cheng Gongying were left, Lu Yi looked at Cheng Gongying who was smiling slightly, and said suspiciously: "Cao Cao knows the military affairs, and there are many advisers under him, if he really decides to withdraw the troops, he must be prepared, and he will pursue rashly, and he will be ambushed!" β
Cheng Gongying nodded after hearing this and replied: "What the general said is true, if Cao Cao retreats, he will leave a heavy army to ambush halfway to prevent the pursuers!" β
When Lu Yi heard Cheng Gongying's answer, he was even more puzzled, and asked again: "If this is the case, why does my brother want to persuade Lu Bu to lead the men and horses of his headquarters to pursue him?" β
Cheng Gongying put away his smile, looked at Lu Yi and replied: "The general really thinks that Lu Bunai is sincere?" β
For Lu Bu's personality, Lu Yi couldn't understand it anymore, if you want to say that Lu Bu is sincere to vote, and he doesn't believe it when he kills Lu Yi, so he shook his head and replied: "Lu Bu has a repetitive temperament, no sincerity, and now he is alone, his intention is true, but once he is stable in the future, he will have different hearts!" β
Cheng Gongying shook his head and said: "The general doesn't know, Lu Bu is here to defect, but it is actually Qingzhou!"
Qingzhou has no owner, Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Chan are all intended, but the two have been fighting for many years, and the victory is inseparable, so Qingzhou is rare for a while!
In addition to these two people, only the general has been strong recently, and he can get Qingzhou, because of this, Lu Bu pretended to vote, but in fact, he tried to conspire with the general to occupy the magpie's nest!
Because of this, I persuaded with words, let Lu Bu lead the troops to pursue Cao Cao, once in ambush, the soldiers will be lost, if the time is properly planned, not only Qingzhou is safe, but also have the opportunity to swallow his soldiers! β
After hearing this, Ko Yi's eyes widened, and he didn't have too many thoughts about Lu Bu and Ko Yi, but he had a lot of thoughts about his generals Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.
Koji Yimeng stood up, paced back and forth behind the case, and after a while, he suddenly stopped, and then looked at Cheng Gongying and said: "I once heard people talk about Lu Bu at Yuan Shao, saying that his subordinates Zhang Liao Gaoshun are all talented, and they are extraordinary!"
I have been thinking about this for a long time, and now it is just the right time, so I will leave this matter to my brother! β
Now that Koji Yi has developed a habit, no matter who mentions it, he will use Yuan Shao as an excuse, and he heard it all when he was under Yuan Shao, and he tried it repeatedly.
Cheng Gongying nodded lightly after listening, Lu Bu had introduced his subordinate generals before, so Cheng Gongying had an impression of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.
Although Cheng Gongying didn't see anything outstanding about the two, since Koi Yi specially confessed, Cheng Gongying secretly remembered the names of the two in his heart.
β¦β¦
Tan County, in a big mansion in the city, Di Rong is sitting opposite Cao Hong.
Cao Hong, Cao Bao's half-brother, is currently the captain of Tanxian County.
Cao Hong was very surprised that Zhen Rong invited him alone, and asked, "I don't know what is the matter with Mr. Invitation?" β
Zhen Rong returned the salute and said with a smile: "It's not a secret, there is indeed something I want to ask for when I come to Captain Cao today, and I hope to agree!" β
Cao Hong heard that there was really something wrong with Zhen Rong, and secretly calculated in his heart, his brother had promised his daughter to Zhen Rong, and it was estimated that when Cao Cao was defeated, the two would hold a ceremony, and at that time he and Zhen Rong would become a family, so as long as the things that Zhen Rong said were not too difficult to do, he should help him with reason.
As soon as he thought of this, Cao Hong said tentatively: "I don't know what Mr. said?" β
Zhen Rong pretended to lower his voice and said: "It's not a secret, when I escaped from Pengcheng, I carried a large amount of gold and silver, and then because Cao Bing was in a hurry to pursue, I had no choice but to hide in the mountains!" β
After Zhen Rong finished speaking, he sighed softly, his face full of regret, but his eyes were secretly aimed at Cao Hong.
Cao Hong had long known that Zhenrong was very rich, and when he heard that he hid a large amount of gold and silver in the mountains, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the greedy color on his face flashed, and he hurriedly asked, "What are your plans?" β
Cao Hong understood that since Zhen Rong said this, then finding himself must have something to do with it.
Sure enough, when he heard Cao Hong ask, Zhen Rong replied: "I want to lead people out of the city overnight to transport those gold and silver back, and give them to General Cao Bao together as a dowry gift in the future!" β
Hearing that Zhen Rong wanted to lead people out of the city, Cao Hong was stunned for a moment, and said with a serious face: "Mr. also knows that it is wartime, and the city gate is not ordered by the king, and no one is allowed to open it privately!" β
Zhen Rong smiled slightly and said: "Having said that, everything can be flexible, you only need to open a gap in the city gate, I will lead more than 100 people to rush out, and return before dawn, God does not know the ghost, why be afraid?" β
Cao Hong heard that Zhen Rong only took a hundred and ten people out of the city, and his heart quietly relaxed.
As Zhen Rong said, it won't take long for one hundred and ten people to go out of the city, and he has been the captain of the city gate of Tanxian for many years, and the city gate guards are mostly his confidants, and no one will tell him, so he can rest assured.
As soon as Cao Hong thought of this, he also pretended to be embarrassed: "This matter is very important, it is absolutely impossible, but the two of us will be a family sooner or later, and there is no reason to help, so I took the risk of agreeing once, Mr. should go back as soon as possible, and do not delay!" β
Seeing Cao Hong's agreement, Zhenrong's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "In this case, I should leave immediately, so as not to have too many dreams at night!" β
Cao Hong nodded and replied: "Ximen is my confidant, I will go to Ximen to arrange, and when Mr. is ready, come to Ximen quickly!" After saying that, he got up and took his leave.
Zhen Rong didn't say much, first sent Cao Hong out, and then quickly returned to the hall, and instructed his henchmen to quickly gather the believers, bring the thin soft that had already been packed, and prepare to leave.
A confidant believer was puzzled and asked: "Today, Lu Bu and Kong Beihai have come to help, Cao Cao is about to be defeated and retreated, why does the teacher want to leave?" β
Zhen Rong glanced at this person, and said with a serious expression: "Yesterday, the prince of the mansion convened everyone to discuss the matter, and I met Chen Yuanlong outside the gate of the monarch, and you also knew that I was good at meeting each other, and saw that Chen Yuanlong had murderous intent in his eyes, and I thought that he should be aware of what I had done in his heart.
With the status of the Chen family in the palace, if we suddenly make trouble, we will not be able to fight back, in order to prevent trouble, we should leave as soon as possible, in order to protect ourselves! β
The henchman was convinced of Zhen Rong's words, and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "I hate that Chen Yuanlong, the teacher has no grudge against him, why can't he be compatible?"
If you find an opportunity in the future, you will definitely come out of this evil spirit for your teacher! β
Zhen Rong waved his hand and said, "I'll talk about revenge later, go down quickly and prepare, and set off with me!" β
The henchman said no more, saluted Zhenrong, and then quickly turned to leave.
Ji Rong waited for the person to leave, quickly came to the back hall, put on the small armor that had been prepared long ago, covered it with a long coat, and then walked out of the room.
Zhen Rong didn't want to take all the believers away, it would be too easy to be exposed, so he only gathered a hundred and ten henchmen, and when everything was ready, he gave an order and led people to the west gate.
At the west gate, Cao Hong stood on top of the city gate, quietly looking at the dark streets in the city, without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.
