"Do you think the rebellion will go so smoothly? Hou Cheng's correspondence with you has actually been intercepted by me a long time ago, and since the second correspondence, I have sent someone to communicate with you! Chen Gong said proudly.

After a pause, he continued: "Isn't it strange, where did the lord and the other 20,000 people go? In fact, it is very simple, on the day you came to Xiapi, the night the lord returned, 20,000 people were sent out by me! As for the lord, he had quietly left the city an hour ago and set off for the north! ”

There are scouts on the other three sides, but there are no scouts on the north side for ambush. Lu Bu seemed to have gone directly to the north and had not entered the reconnaissance range of the other scouts, so it was not surprising that he was not discovered.

"I don't believe you're so kind, it looks like you're going to let us go north, but there must be an ambush to the north. In order to meet the large army, the lord has already gone over and packed up your ambush! Chen Gong laughed.

"In other words, there are 20,000 troops, and 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 think too much, at first it was true that they were sent north, but now they should have launched an attack on Xiaxiang County! Chen Gong smiled faintly, "Do you know why I asked them to attack Xia Xiang County?" ”

"Because of Sun Ce." Cao Cao thought for a moment, "When did you hook up with Sun Ce?" ”

"Don't use such ugly words as hooking up, my body and mind only belong to the lord!" Chen Gong put his hand on his chest, "Marriage, do you understand?" A month ago, I had already sent someone over to reach an agreement with Sun Ce, in exchange for Lu Ying marrying Sun Ce's third brother, Sun Yi, in exchange for an alliance between the two families. Your biggest failure is to ignore Sun Ce's existence, if the time is right, the other party has already crossed the river and gone north! ”

"Very exciting!" Cao Cao clapped his hands, "But don't forget, Lu Bu may be able to form an alliance with Sun Ce, or even defect to Sun Ce!" But you can't leave! ”

"Do you know why I'm staying here?" Chen Gong smiled faintly, "The defeat of Puyang, you haven't learned a lesson yet?" So many people were put in! ”

As he spoke, he beckoned behind him, and a soldier behind him beat a war drum. With the sound of war drums, a fire quickly erupted in the residential area of the north gate, and the fire developed very quickly.

"All the fire oil is here, Cao Cao, it's time for the barbecue!" Chen Gong said excitedly.

"You're just a madman...... Cao Cao was speechless, it's this trick again, if she keeps losing the same trick, then she's not Cao Cao anymore. So they also waved behind them, and the tiger guards took out their prepared giant hammers and began to smash them towards the surrounding buildings.

"Someone told me that the spread of fire first needs a medium, and if the medium is removed in advance, then the fire can be controlled within a certain range, in other words, only a firebreak needs to be built, then it can prevent the enemy's fire!" Cao Cao said with great interest, and after a while, more soldiers brought sacks, and a large amount of sand and soil piled up in front.

The sand covered up the combustibles, and with the Tiger Guard, they actually created a barrier, and the fire was confined to the periphery, and no matter how it expanded out of the zone, it could not burn into the barrier.

It's a little hot, and it may burn slightly, but it's good compared to dying.

"Chen Gong, what other tricks do you have, just use them!" Cao Cao said casually, but his eyes were looking towards a corner, someone was already waiting for an opportunity, as if he was planning to kill the city tower and capture Chen Gong.

Not only him, but Cao Ren was also preparing with his headquarters, and obviously noticed Wang Yong's actions.

"Cao Cao!" Chen Gong was super unhappy at the moment, Lu Bu actually made himself safe through this means. The sand and sledgehammer were clearly prepared in advance to prevent fire.

It's not surprising if you think about it carefully, the two cavalry raids used fire oil, who can guarantee that in the city, they won't use it? It's just that fire and water are ruthless, and under normal circumstances, you should know that you will attack with fire, so you will be afraid. After all, the wells in the city are not enough to extinguish the fire!

Unexpectedly, the other party actually used a biased move, using a firebreak to avoid the fire attack, although it was not easy to move for a while, but during this period, at least the whole army was safe.

"There's no way, I can only use a trick!" Chen Gong sighed and ordered someone to beat the drum. This time the drum beating is not a deterrent, but a call for help, the bluff is over, and what remains is naturally a collision of strengths.

At this moment, on the official road to the north, the tiger and leopard riders and the wolf riders are fighting. Originally, it was evenly matched, but Cao Chun modified the first battle, and even deliberately led the wolf cavalry to attack the rear army, and then suddenly bit back.

But not long after, a large army in front suddenly came to this side, and the number of people was conservatively estimated to be 20,000! These 20,000 elite soldiers suddenly came, and there were wolf horses to restrain them, Cao Chun knew that he was not capable of the enemy, so he immediately withdrew his troops.

"Mother, there is a drum for help from Xiapi City!" The army continued to move south, and when it reached the vicinity of Xiapi City, it heard the sound of gold from the copper war drums.

"Hmm......" Lu Bu nodded, raised the halberd in his hand, and pointed forward. The wolf cavalry followed her in the direction of Xiapi City, and behind her, Song Xian and Hou Cheng, as well as Cheng Lian and Hao Meng, quickly followed the large army.

"What should I do......" Song Xian came to Wei Xu.

"Do it when the opportunity comes! Thanks to Hou Cheng for taking everything down, otherwise we would all be suspected! Wei Xu said in a low voice, "If you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't, you will act according to the original plan." ”

"Good!" Song Xian nodded.

It turned out that the three of them had discussed it in advance, and everything was up to Hou Cheng, and the two retreated behind the scenes, while being careful at every step. Hou Cheng had an accident, and the two of them quickly lurked, 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 look at the two of you, you are ready to do something big......"

"yes!" Wei Xu nodded, "We want to help the lord win the world, this is the biggest thing!" ”

"What a dishonest guy...... I don't say anything, just take my little brother at a critical moment. Hao Meng arched his hand towards the two, and then retreated.

In 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, and was finally stopped by Cao Xing and Gao Shun, and was beheaded by Gao Shun.

Cao Cao was suspicious, and she might not be trustworthy about the three of them, so at someone's suggestion, she actually contacted Hao Meng very early. Chen Gong sent 20,000 people out in advance, Wei Xu and Song Xian did not follow these troubles, and passed the news to her through Hao Meng.

Whoever calculates whom, from the beginning of this battle, is nothing more than to see who is more prepared......
