It's just that when they came to Xu Tan's house for a banquet, what was waiting for them was not wine and food. They didn't need wine to stimulate their nerves, Xu Tan had already prepared a letter for them, and it was murderous, so it was enough to make them feel excited and enthusiastic.

"What I said earlier has already been recognized." Xu Tan observed the expressions of the two of them, "This time, not only Lu Bu, Zang Ba, Sun Guan and Wu Dun will also raise volunteers, and they will rescue Pi from fire and water in the future." ”

"Why should we wait?"

"This is ......" Cao Bao read the letter carefully, "This is Cao Gong'......"

Xu Tan nodded arrogantly, "Naturally, otherwise, with the prestige of my younger brother, how could I invite so many princes?" ”

These people can hardly be called "princes", but neither Cao Bao nor Cao Hong will dwell on this kind of title issue, they are only momentarily attracted by this huge plan.

"According to what you said, these many princes are in the same place, can you keep me waiting......

"This is just a plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf," Xu Tan said with certainty, "As long as we expel Liu Bei, will the Cao Guild sit back and ignore this?" With this credit, why can't you be a marquis! ”

There's a lot to be said about this plan, but it's tempting enough:

First, the Danyang people hate Liu Bei;

Second, Cao Cao promised a heavy reward;

Third, there were rumors in the city, all saying that Liu Bei would expel the Danyang people after withdrawing his troops;

Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it. If you can't take advantage of this opportunity to take Xiapi, you will be a knife and I will be a fish and meat in the future!

In fact, if Cao Bao and the others calm down a little and think about it carefully, they will find that in addition to their own hatred of Liu Bei, rumors or heavy rewards all hide the meaning of conspiracy.

For Cao Bao, it was a fateful night.

As for Guo Jia, who is far away in Juancheng, this is just a small stroke in their journey to plan the world for Ming Gong.

The night was deep, and it was past three watches.

One of the camps of the Danyang people is in the city and the other is outside the city, and the treatment is not unkind.

Zhang Fei guarded the city, stared at the Danyang barracks during the day, and lived in the governor's mansion at night, guarding the eldest brother's family and this group of scribes.

He ate half a pork leg at night, Cao Bao and Cao Hong brought over with fine wine, and persuaded them to drink, and now there was a thunderous snoring sound in the bedroom early.

Cao Bao and Cao Hong were also very drunk, so they were also arranged to rest in the side room.

But at this time, they had quietly gotten up, and in the dark night when they couldn't see their fingers, in this state pastoral mansion, they carried their weapons and quietly walked forward.

Zhang Fei's bedroom was very close to them, and the back house of the state minister's mansion was full of female dependents, so the three generals only found a guest room in the front yard to sleep. Both of them pretended to be drunk, and soon found the room.

The snoring was louder than the other.

With such a sound as a cover, they didn't even have to worry about making a noise when they quietly opened the door.

There was still a little residual oil in the bean lamp next to the couch, which shimmered and shimmered in this very simple side room.

Cao Bao and Cao Hong pulled out the ring head knife, one step forward, one step more, one step more!

Zhang Fei was leaning against the wall, his eyes open, staring at them.

Those two eyes seemed to be dull and blank, but they were shocked into a cold sweat! I wonder if he is sleeping, waking, dead, or alive?

But Zhang Fei also raised the ring-head knife in his hand, so the question was quickly answered.

"General, can Cao Bao and Cao Hong succeed?"

"It's good to be natural," Xu Tan lifted the curtain and watched with satisfaction the torches in the camp, "Even if it doesn't work, there is already a master to guide me, why am I afraid?" ”

The only remaining general in the Danyang army laughed, "Are there enough things for each team to ignite the fire?" ”

"Ready!"

"Then act according to the plan, set fires everywhere, and take advantage of the chaos to open the city!"

Knowing that someone was going to make trouble, Lu Hangyu didn't dare to sleep even though he stayed in the city.

Tian Yu, who stayed with her, paid extra attention, and snatched a piece of meat from Tai Shici's mouth, and kept fifty long-card soldiers and fifty crossbowmen. Don't look at the fact that there are only a hundred people, Tian Yu deducts her salary all day long, and half of them are used in this.

Tian Yu and Tai Shici's mother were also sent to her mansion and got together with the female relatives of Tongxin, Dong Bai, and Li's second daughter-in-law.

"Lang Jun," Tongxin hesitated a little, "If it's okay at this time, do you want to fix a ......?"

"Fix what?"

"Build a cellar?"

She was stunned.

"No," she said, "you don't need that." ”

"How about leaving us some blades and arrows?" Dong Bai said carefully.

"You don't have to use that," she said, "and you won't use it." ”

Dong Bai blinked and pursed his lips.

"General!" A soldier ran over, "The third general has something urgent, please go!" ”

[Look, what am I talking about? 】

Is this the reason why we are not prepared? She sighed.

[Yes and no," Black Blade commented, "This is Tao Qian's problem, you have taken over his inheritance, and you can't escape his debts. 】

When she and Tian Yu rode their horses to the governor's mansion, the three generals were already dressed in military uniforms and rode on the black horse.

They all noticed that in many corners of this Xiapi city, fires were gradually burning.

The firelight illuminates the night sky and sends smoke up again.

At the same time, the cries, shouts and killings, the sounds of running, chaotic, intertwined.

"Danyang soldiers are making trouble in the west of the city!"

"Danyang soldiers are making trouble in the north of the city!"

"General!"

"General!"

"There are Danyang soldiers to the east gate——"

Zhang Fei spat out a mouthful of saliva, "This group of thieves is greedy for life and afraid of death against the enemy in battle, and they are so fierce and not afraid of death when they sacrifice the city!" ”

…… The third master still has to say something mean at this time.

"I have fifty long-card soldiers and fifty crossbowmen there," she said at once, "how can the three generals send?" ”

"I have sent someone to watch the south gate, now I will lead my own soldiers to the east gate, your hundred soldiers, it is still useful for you to stay," Zhang Fei hesitated for a while, "There is Zang Ba in the east, Sun Guan in the north, Lu Bu in the west, the north gate and the west gate, what can you do to stop the thief army?" ”

She thought for a moment, "Leave it to me." ”

She left only a hundred men, how could she guard the two gates?

But Zhang Fei didn't ask much, just nodded, clamped the horse's belly, and rode the horse to the east.

Leaving Tian Yu to turn the horse's head and look at her with a worried face, "How is the general doing?" ”

"You take those 100 soldiers to guard the west gate." She said, "I'll go to the north of the city myself." ”

Tian Yu's pupils contracted in an instant, "Two battalions of Danyang soldiers, Xu Tan's battalion is in the north of the city, there are more than 2,000 people, how can you stop it alone?" ”

"Why can't I stop it?" She asked rhetorically, "You don't believe me?" ”

Tian Yu seemed to want to say something, but he finally swallowed those questioning words.

"If you can't resist it, the city gate has been broken, the general should withdraw as soon as possible, the south gate is my base, you can retreat from the south of the city, and after meeting with the main prince, it is not too late to try Xuzhou."

She nodded and chuckled, "Don't worry." ”

The more you run to the north of the city, the bigger the fire becomes, there are people on both sides who run out to put out the fire, and there are also Danyang soldiers who rob and make trouble, she saw it on the road, so she opened her bow and shot an arrow.

But even though they rushed to the north of the city without stopping, in the sky-high firelight, the north gate of Xiapi City was still broken open by the rebels.

Is she going to retreat?

She bought a new mansion, and her sisters and sisters decorated it beautifully.

The garden planted some vegetables and two fruit trees.

Did she mention that Dong Bai also bought a piece of grapevine and planted it, and after a lot of hard work, she finally survived, which is very rare.

[Want to upgrade?] As she drew her black blade, a voice of schadenfreude rose at the same time, [They are indeed outnumbered. 】

Indeed, they are outnumbered.

Therefore, when they saw that there was only such a young man standing on the dirt road in front of the city gate, these soldiers showed a surprised look on their faces.

"I'm ready to die here," she held her black blade, held her breath, stood in the firelight, and looked arrogantly at the Danyang soldiers who poured in like a tide, "If you want to take Xuzhou, you should also have this determination." ”

Chapter 156

Xu Tan's impression of this person is actually very light, because this person is too cautious and too inconspicuous.

This middle-aged man is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, not handsome, but not ugly, plus he seems to be deliberately accustomed to sitting in a lower position to show humility, so the sense of presence is even lower.

But today she finally understands what it means to "a dog that loves to bark does not bite".

Xu Tan rode on the horse and looked at her condescendingly, and after the initial surprise, he just sighed.

"Who would have thought that the world-famous 'Column Missing Sword' would belong to such a yellow-mouthed child?"

"Do you know," she replied, "to see if my sword is as sharp as it is rumored?" ”

Xu Tan shook his head, "General Lu's sword, I don't dare to try it, so I can only use a little subplan." ”

The cries, the shouts, the footsteps, soon approached.

She looked back, startled.

"I heard that General Lu is not only excellent in swordsmanship, but also has a noble character, strict military discipline, treats the common people like parents and sons, and never bears to hurt a bit, I don't know if it's true?"

Her pupils constricted.

Crying was heard from behind the burning houses!

"Kid——! My child——! ”
