Chapter 327: Puyang Covers Up
Cao Ren didn't expect Cao Ang to ask such a question, and when he asked like this, even if he was as iron-blooded as Cao Ren, he felt a pang in his heart, and his throat could no longer make a sound.
Cao Ang's matter, no one can do anything, even if the world visits the divine doctor, it may not be cured.
Cao Ren looked at Cao Ang's face and knew that the only thing he could do was to kill Lu Bu and avenge Cao Ang.
……
Finally waited for the day of the attack on Lu Bu, Cao Cao got unusually early this day, and slowly stayed up until the bright moon rose in the east, Cao Cao couldn't hold it anymore, and immediately took Xiahou Dun, without saying a word, put on his horse, and went towards Puyang.
Before, Tanma had already reported that there was indeed a big move in Puyang City today, and then a large number of soldiers and horses came out of Puyang City, and one of them was clearly Lu Bu.
When Cao Cao heard this report, he naturally wanted to be reassured, thinking that he would be able to avenge his beloved son in a short time, and Cao Cao was very happy.
The army moved forward slowly, and after a while, it had reached the left of Puyang.
The west gate of Puyang stood high not far away, and through the moonlight, Cao Cao saw a kind of gloom and fear.
Lu Bu is indeed powerful, and under his governance, Puyang City has become a strategic fortress, which is not to be underestimated. If Cao Cao hadn't received Nei Ying's help, how could he dare to attack so blatantly?
Cao Cao didn't dare to ignore it, first excluded the scouts and galloped under the city gate, and after galloping for a while, the sentry on the city gate turned a blind eye, and it was a little strange at first glance.
Cao Cao was proud in his heart, and when he saw that there was a big way, he immediately smiled slightly, and ordered in a low voice: "Drumming!" ”
Before the words fell, the drums sounded, and in this deep night, the drums of Cao Cao's army were deafening!
Sure enough, before the drum beat the three links, suddenly the city gate creaked, making a heart-rending sound, and then a ray of light slowly shot out from between the two city gates, and it seemed that the city gate was about to open!
Cao Jun was overjoyed when he saw that the big thing was about to be accomplished, Xiahoudun sneered, looked at Puyang City from afar and said, "Lu Bu, Lu Bu, I think you can do it this time?" ”
In the sound of slowly opening, Puyang City was gradually exposed in front of Cao Jun, Cao Cao raised his eyes and saw a black hole in the city, which indeed looked like Lu Bu's army had just left.
Suddenly, a figure flashed in the darkness, and then the firelight came, and I saw a man in black wearing a hat and holding a torch, and slowly walked out.
Cao Cao's heart moved, guessed the identity of this person, and said loudly: "The person who came is Tian Qi Tian Gong?" ”
Unexpectedly, the man lifted the hat, but it was a different face, this man was in his forties, his face was dark, and he was not at all as white and tender as Tian Qi.
The man stepped forward, bowed deeply and said: "The villain is Tian Gong's family, Tian Gong is gathering the people in the city at this time to support Cao Gong, and he can't get out, so he ordered the villain to lead Cao Gong into the city." I also hope that Cao Gong will atone for his sins. ”
Cao Cao has always been suspicious, although what this person said is also reasonable, but Cao Cao looked at this person's face, and suddenly had a doubt in his heart, this is completely a person's intuition, and intuition tells Cao Cao that this time a trap may have been laid in the city.
Cao Cao's small eyes narrowed, he looked at the famous family, and asked with a sneer: "Why is Tian Qi still organizing an uprising in the city?" Although Lu Bu is gone, isn't he afraid of Gao Shun's camp? ”
In the face of Cao Cao's questioning, the family did not panic, but replied slowly: "Gao Shun's trapped camp is terrible, but at this time, after all, the troops are too small, and they are no longer able to prevent the outbreak of the people. ”
Hearing this, Cao Cao didn't know whether he was satisfied, but his face was a little more mysterious. Xiahoudun saw Cao Cao's doubts, stepped forward, and asked, "What, Meng De, do you think something is wrong?" ”
Cao Cao glanced back at Xiahoudun, but there was a deep meaning in this glance. Xiahoudun had followed Cao Cao for the longest time, and he knew Cao Cao's every move well, he immediately understood, and pretended to suddenly understand: "Oh! It turns out that there is nothing strange about things, this relationship is good, let's kill Lu Bu without leaving a piece of armor! ”
After saying this, Xiahoudun took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and quietly said to his deputy general Han Hao: "After a while, you go to the back to inform General Li Dian and let him guard the city gate, and you must not let the city gate be closed!" ”
Han Hao was also a clever general, and immediately took the order.
Cao Cao saw that Xiahoudun had already dealt with the aftermath, so he immediately put his mind at ease, waved his horsewhip, and said loudly: "Let's go, let's go into the city!" ”
The bright moon hung high, Puyang City was the night city gate opened, Cao Cao and Xiahoudun led the team, just drove straight in, and entered the city gate mightily.
Puyang, who Cao Cao tried his best to kill, was finally invaded by Cao Cao in this simple and outrageous way, although the matter seems reasonable, but when you think about it carefully, there are still a lot of strange things.
For example, why did Lu Bu send the whole army to Liyang?
For example, why didn't the far-sighted Chen Gong expect the people to want to rebel?
For another example, where did that mysterious Tian Qi go?
With these questions, Cao Jun slowly drove into Puyang.
The streets in Puyang City were empty, and the houses on both sides of the road were also lifeless, Cao Cao looked inside through the windows of the houses, but found that the houses were empty at this time?
"What's going on?" Cao Cao muttered to himself in his heart, "Puyang is a big city, and the number of people has skyrocketed under my governance last year, why did Lu Bu only come for half a year, and the people were all gone?" ”
Further on, it is just a bluestone road, the bluestone slab has appeared a little glorious after continuous friction, if the war horse gallops on it, it is inevitable that there will be a danger of falling. On both sides of this bluestone pavement are more densely populated houses.
Cao Cao continued to look closely, and saw that there was still no one living in this house, and what was even more strange was that every house was full of firewood.
"Why is there so much firewood when no one lives?" Cao Cao's heart was even more suspicious.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, his heart was cold, and he blurted out: "Fire attack!" ”
Xiahoudun heard Cao Cao shouting, and before he understood what Cao Cao meant by "fire attack", he heard Cao Cao continue to shout: "Withdraw the army!" Withdraw quickly! Lu Bu has an ambush! ”
Cao Cao shouted this, and the Tian family member who led the way in front of him was suddenly shocked, and ran away. I'm afraid he calculated everything, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to be so cunning and see through his conspiracy so quickly!
Xiahou was quick with his eyes, how could he let this guy escape easily, he immediately removed the iron tire bow on his back, and shot an arrow violently, only to hear a "poof", and the arrow shot into the calf of the family, and came out through the leg bone!
The man screamed and immediately fell on the bluestone pavement! Crisp sound!
