Chapter 682 Who is Counting Who? (Part 2)
"Do you think the rebellion will be so smooth? In fact, the correspondence between Hou Cheng and you has been intercepted by me. Since the second communication, I have sent someone to communicate with you!" Chen Gong said proudly.
He paused and continued, "Isn't it strange? Where did the lord and the other 20,000 people go? In fact, it's very simple. On the day you came to Xia Pi, the night when your lord came back, 20,000 people were sent out by me! As for the lord, he had already quietly left the city one hour ago and set out north!"
There were scouts on the other three sides, but in order to set up an ambush in the north, no scouts were arranged. It seemed that Lu Bu went straight to the north and did not enter the reconnaissance area of other scouts, so it was not surprising that he was not discovered.
"I don't believe you are so kind. It seems that you are planning to let us go north, but there must be ambush in the north. In order to support the large army, the lord has passed and deal with your ambush!" Chen Gong laughed.
"In other words, there are 20,000 troops, you have already sent them to Liangcheng County in the north in advance, right?" Cao Cao remained calm and didn't seem too surprised.
"Liangcheng? You're overthinking. At first, I did let them go north, but now I should have launched an attack on Xiaxiang County!" Chen Gong smiled faintly, "Do you know why I asked them to attack Xiaxiang County?"
"Because of Sun Ce." Cao Cao thought for a while, "When did you get involved with Sun Ce?"
"Don't use unpleasant words like hookup. My body and mind belong to the lord alone!" Chen Gong put his hand on his chest, "Do you understand marriage? A month ago, I had sent someone to reach an agreement with Sun Ce to marry Sun Ce's third brother Sun Yi in exchange for the two families to form an alliance. Your biggest failure is to ignore Sun Ce's existence. If the time is right, the other party has crossed the river and headed north!"
"It's very wonderful!" Cao Cao clapped his hands, "But don't forget that Lu Bu may be able to form an alliance with Sun Ce or even join Sun Ce! But you can't get rid of it!"
"Do you know why I have to defend here?" Chen Gong smiled faintly, "You haven't learned your lesson in the defeat of Puyang? You have actually placed so many people in!"
As he said that, he waved behind him, and a soldier behind him beat a war drum. As the sound of the war drums rang, fires quickly emerged from the residential areas in the north gate, and the fire was developing very fast.
"All the tinea oil is here, Cao Cao, it's time to barbecue!" Chen Gong said excitedly.
"You are just a madman..." Cao Cao was speechless. It was another move. If she had been losing in the same move, then she would not be Cao Cao anymore. So she waved behind her. The tiger guards took out the giant hammers they had prepared and began to smash them towards the surrounding buildings.
"A person told me that the spread of fire requires media first. If the media is removed in advance, the fire can be controlled within a certain range. In other words, just build a fire belt to prevent the enemy's fire attack!" Cao Cao said with interest. Soon, more soldiers brought sacks one by one, and a large amount of sand was piled up towards the front.
The sand and soil covered up the combustible material. In cooperation with the Huwei, an isolation belt was created. The fire was restricted to the periphery. No matter how it expanded toward it, it could not burn inside the isolation belt.
It is somewhat hot and may cause mild burns, but it is already very good compared to life-threatening.
"Chen Gong, what tricks do you have? Just use them!" Cao Cao said casually, but his eyes looked at a certain corner. Someone was waiting for an opportunity to move, as if he was planning to kill the city tower and capture Chen Gong.
Not only him, but Cao Ren also took the headquarters to prepare, and obviously noticed Wang Yong's actions.
"Cao Cao!" Chen Gong was very upset at this moment. Lu Bu actually made himself safe through this method. The sand and the giant hammer were obviously prepared in advance, with the purpose of preventing fire attacks.
It’s not surprising to think about it carefully. Both cavalry raids used tincture oil. Who can guarantee that they will not use it in the city? It’s just that water and fire are ruthless. Generally speaking, they should be afraid of it because they know that they can use fire to attack. After all, the wells in the city are not enough to put out the fire!
Unexpectedly, the other party used a trick to avoid fire attacks by building fire prevention. Although it was not easy to move in time, at least the entire army was safe during this period.
"There is no choice but to use the ultimate move!" Chen Gong sighed and ordered someone to beat the drum. This time the drum beat was not a deterrent, but a request for help. The bluff had ended, and what was left was naturally a collision of strength.
At this moment, on the official road in the north, the tiger, leopard cavalry and the wolf cavalry were fighting. Originally, they were evenly matched, but Cao Chun made modifications to the first battle, and even deliberately attracted the wolf cavalry to attack the rear army, and then suddenly bit back.
But not long after, a large army in front suddenly came toward this side, with a conservative number of people estimated to be 20,000! These 20,000 elite soldiers suddenly came, and there were also wolves restrained them. Cao Chun knew that he was unable to compete and immediately withdrew his troops.
"My mother, the sound of drums for help came from Xia Pi City!" The army continued to move south. When they arrived near Xia Pi City, they heard the sound of golden sounds from the bronze war drums.
"Well..." Lu Bu nodded, raised the painting halberd in his hand, and pointed to the front. The wolf cavalry followed her to charge towards Xia Pi City. Behind him, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, Cheng Lian and Hao Meng quickly followed the large army.
"What should I do..." Song Xian came to Wei Xu.
"Play according to the opportunity! Thanks to Hou Cheng taking over everything, otherwise we will be suspected!" Wei Xu whispered, "If you can, you can beat him, and if you can't beat him, you can do it according to the original plan."
"Okay!" Song Xian nodded.
It turned out that the three of them had agreed in advance that Hou Cheng would come forward, and the two retreated behind the scenes, and were cautious at every step. When something happened to Hou Cheng, the two of them quickly lurked up, watching Chen Gong and Cao Cao play, while the two of them were waiting for the opportunity.
"Two..." Hao Meng came to the two of them, "I see you two are planning to do something big..."
"Yes!" Wei Xu nodded, "We want to help the lord win the world, this is the biggest thing!"
"What a disquiet guy... I don't say anything. I'll take you with me at critical moments." Hao Meng bowed to the two of them, and then retreated.
During the Romance of the Romance, Hao Meng was killed by Zhang Fei, but before the official history, he rebelled against Lu Bu at the instigation of Yuan Shu. He was finally stopped by Cao Xing and Gao Shun and killed by Gao Shun.
Cao Cao was suspicious, but she might not have believed the three of them. So at someone's suggestion, she actually had contact with Hao Meng very early. Chen Gong sent 20,000 people out in advance, but Wei Xu and Song Xian did not make trouble with each other, and all passed the news to her through Hao Meng.
Whoever plots against whom, starting from the start of this battle, it’s just to see who prepares more...
