Qiu Ming gasped and said, "Xu Rong? It's a bit tricky. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Cao Cao was surprised: "On Xingyang Road, I always have to go through several times a year, who this Xu Rong is, I haven't heard of it." ”

Qiu Ming smiled and looked at Cao Cao, in a few years, the princes will fight Dong, and you will almost die in the hands of Xu Rong in the first battle, and you will know how powerful he is at that time.

Cao Cao didn't know why Qiu Ming was laughing, he felt a little weird, but he didn't pay attention to him, and only asked Chen Gongdao: "How many soldiers are there in Zhongmu City?" Is there a good way to break the city? Chen Deng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he heard his tone, but at the moment, state affairs were important, and he didn't want to worry too much. He slowly said a plan, Cao Cao Qiuming was overjoyed, and immediately ordered to act according to the plan.

Chen Gong returned to Zhongmu by night, only saying that the northern army was heavily defended and had not found any information. Chang Jin did not doubt him, and only ordered the city to be more vigilant and prepare things to roll wood and stones to deal with the siege of the Luoyang Northern Army overnight.

But after waiting all night, there was no movement, but the soldiers in the city blew a cool breeze all night, complaining. finally survived until dawn, but saw a group of cavalry bypassing Zhongmu City and going directly to the west.

Chang Jin was puzzled by what he meant, and called Chen Gong to inquire, and Chen Gong said: "It must be that the enemy army does not want to waste time in Zhongmu, and just wants to go west with all his might." Congratulations to the county, congratulations to the county. ”

Chang Jin was stunned and said: "Even if the enemy army abandons the city and does not attack, I just do my best to defend the territory, why should I be happy?" ”

Chen Gong smiled and said: "The enemy army will attack the Wandering Soul Pass here, and the Wandering Soul Pass is dangerous, and it is impossible to go down overnight. The county can order all the soldiers and horses, wait for half a day and then send troops to catch up, and the ghost guard will attack before and after, and annihilate the enemy under the ghost pass, isn't it a great achievement? When the time comes, the county will be powerful and famous, won't it be gratifying? ”

After saying a word, he smiled and smiled, patted Chen Gong's shoulder and said loudly: "What the public platform said is true, this time I will chase the enemy, and you will stay in the city, if you succeed, I will have a great reward." Chen Gong smiled slightly on his face and bowed in thanks.

In the past half a day, I have been restless in the city, worrying that the Wandering Soul Pass has been broken, and I will not save the fighter if I die, and I will worry that the Wandering Soul Pass will have broken the enemy army, and I will not be able to get any credit, so I am really anxious to scratch my ears and cheeks. Finally, when the sun was already setting in the west, he hurriedly ordered the generals and chased them out of the city with a roar.

The Zhongmu soldiers were urged by Chang Jin to chase and catch up in a hurry, and when they arrived at the eighteen-mile river, they were already sleepy and tired, and Chang Jin had to arrange for people and horses to bury pots and cook by the river, and rest for the time being. Before the smoke rose, a cannon rang out upstream, and Dian Wei rushed down first, shouting: "The traitor has been tricked, and he still doesn't accept his life." ”

Chang Jin was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky, and he was about to meet the enemy with the whole army, but there were cannon shots on all sides, Bao Chu came from the downstream, Huang Zhongwen Chou came from the opposite bank, Zhang He and Wei Yan each led an army to appear in the diagonal rear, and surrounded Chang Jin's group in the heart. Chang Jinben was originally a civil official, where could he afford this group of tigers and wolves, so he hurriedly found a flaw and escaped in a hurry, but the soldiers around him couldn't care about it.

The defeated army was miserable and panicked like a lost dog, all the way to the city of Zhongmu, when the city was shouted loudly, the city was full of arrows, Chen Gong stood at the head of the city and scolded: "The traitor is often close to the country and the people, and he wants to use his mantis arm as a car to fight against the army of the Son of Heaven, and still want to harm the people of Zhongmu City?" I have dedicated this city to the soldiers of heaven, and if you can dismount and surrender, you should be spared from death. ”

Chang Jin was shocked and angry, but he didn't expect this little official who had always been looked down on by himself to be so bold and reckless. Remembering that his whole family was in the city, Chang Jin hated his chest, and was about to arrange for his remnants to attack the city, but the chasing soldiers had arrived, Wei Yan stabbed Chang Jin under the horse with a gun, and cut off the head to show the defeated army, and the rest of the people surrendered.

Qiu Ming has been hiding in Dapanzhuang and has never been far away, and at this time he also entered Zhongmu County from Zhuangli to appease the people. Because the battle ended quickly, except for the crying and crying of Chang County's family, most of the families in the city were not disturbed, Qiu Ming sighed a few words, and arranged for someone to send the Chang family back to their hometown.

By the time Liu Biao Cao Cao returned to Zhongmu, it was already the second half of the night, although this city was not very high, it was rare that the first battle grain and grass were readily available, and if the road ahead was to attack the city and break through, this was just a good base. Chen Gong was originally a county official in Zhongmu, and he knew the situation in the county very well, so Qiu Ming simply appointed him to act as the county commander, but also managed everything in the city in an orderly manner, which made Cao Cao amazed.

Just sat down in the city, outside the city suddenly reported that the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry was found, it turned out that after the battle of the Eighteen Mile River, there were defeated soldiers who fled into the soul pass and cried, the guard general Han Meng was furious when he heard this, and he was anxious to let people come to explore the military situation of Zhongmu, and he was encountering the rangers sent by Yu Ban, and the two sides fought and retreated.

Chen Gong rubbed his hands and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity, I originally wanted to take the opportunity to earn the Wandering Soul Pass, but now that I have taken precautions to close it, it's not easy to use it." ”

Liu Biao suddenly said: "I also heard of Han Meng's reputation when I was in Luoyang, this person has excellent martial arts, but he is sharp and light on the enemy, if he can be skillfully arranged, he should be able to capture him in a battle." Cao Cao and Chen Gong both had flashing eyes, not knowing what they were thinking.

Tyumen had been busy all night, and did not return to his temporary residence in the city until it was nearly dawn, and was about to rest when he suddenly came to report the visit of Chen Palace. Qiu Ming hurriedly greeted him before he even had time to put on his shoes, and said with a smile: "The public station is also tired of strategizing today, why don't you have a good rest?" ”

Before he finished speaking, Chen Gong knelt on the ground and said, "Ming Gong save me." ”

Qiu Ming was shocked to ask the reason, Chen Gong said: "Living in its place and cutting down its guard, it is unjust, although I am for the Son of Heaven Sheji, but I have also offended Zhongmu's colleagues and the people of the city." Just now, Cao Mengde loudly praised me for taking the city on the long street, obviously to arouse the anger of the people and kill people with a knife, Brother Qiu must save me. “

Qiu Ming asked, "Do you have a feud with Cao Cao?" Why does he want to harm you? ”

Chen Gong said: "In the past, there was no injustice and no hatred in the near future, presumably because I was not used to it, and deliberately wanted to make some stumbling blocks for me, but I didn't want to have nowhere to go in Zhongmu this time." ”

Qiu Ming thought for a while and said: "Qiu Ming is not talented, and now he is the county of Dengzhou, I wonder if Gongtai can deign to go to Dengzhou to work?" ”

Chen Gong said: "I am in a hurry now, I am overjoyed to have a place to settle down, how dare I be picky?" I'm just afraid of causing trouble to Brother Qiu. ”

Qiu Ming said proudly: "I don't dare to say anything else, this place in Dengzhou is managed by me like an iron bucket, who dares to trouble me?" When the matter is over, the public station can abandon this errand and go to Beijing with me to meet the Son of Heaven. Chen Gong thanked him for his joy and left.

After Chen Gong left, Diao Chan turned out from behind the screen, grimaced and said: "Hmph, it's you doing it again, I clearly heard you say to Cao Cao that you want to kill this person's sharp spirit, cut off his support in Zhongmu, so that he won't repeat, I didn't expect you to fight this idea." Tyumen laughed.
