Chapter two hundred and ninety-eight sending troops
"It's done!"
The moment Dong Cheng's head fell to the ground, Chu Nan, who had been monitoring the situation here through the demon ant vision, opened his eyes, withdrew his spiritual thoughts, stood up and left the camp with a little excitement, strode into Lu Bu's tent, and said to
Lu Bu, who was holding a scroll of bamboo slips and was stunned, saluted and said, "Father-in-law, the opportunity to send troops has arrived."
Dong Cheng's death itself is not actually important. Although he was a cavalry general, he was a model of high-ranking and unimportant people, and his own influence was limited.
The wonderful thing is that the situation in Xuchang is relatively delicate at this time. After Cao Cao's death, the imperial party that had been suppressed by him began to emerge in the court. In addition, there were other factions that would separate from Cao Cao's influence.
For example, those who have done bad things and are afraid of being liquidated, or those generals from Guanzhong who surrendered from Guanzhong, such as Duan Xuan, Wang Zhong, etc.
If Cao Cao were here, these forces would be basically monolithic except for the imperial party, and they would be in peace with each other. Even if there were internal conflicts, they would never break out. However, the problem is that Cao Cao is dead! The people who restrained them are no longer there, and some things that originally seemed not to be a problem
The problem has become a big problem.
Without Cao Cao's suppression, these parties have gradually begun to show signs of separation in the past two days. Even not everyone in the army wants to continue to work with the Cao family. After all, the direct forces of the Cao family have withdrawn from Xuchang City, leaving behind
Among the descendants of the Cao clan, Cao Peng is considered the top one.
Since the Cao family no longer cares about this place, how many people are willing to sacrifice their lives for the Cao family?
Dong Cheng itself is not important, but being killed by Cao Peng at this time becomes very important. It can be regarded as a point that detonates the forces of all parties. At least the imperial party will not give up on this matter, and other parties will take the opportunity to follow
It is only natural for Cao Cao to split his troops.
If a person with enough prestige stood up at this time and convinced everyone, he might be saved. There is indeed such a person in Xuchang City, that is Xun Yu. The person who blocked Lu Bu by himself, if he is given enough
With time, it is indeed possible to settle these problems one by one, but now, Chu Nan will not give Xun Yu this chance.
At first, Lu Bu attacked Juancheng with force, but now that Chu Nan has made so many preparations, if he still can't capture Xuchang, his father-in-law can take the land with his own head!
"Oh?" Lu Bu stood up after hearing this, looked at Chu Nan and said, "Zi Yan, are you sure?"
"It's absolutely true!" Chu Nan nodded: "Dong Cheng is dead. As expected, this person's death will cause the factions in Xuchang to be divided. Xuchang will also be at its weakest. This is the opportunity for our army to enter the city. Demon
The ants will inform our troops who are hiding in the city to act expediently and cooperate with our troops to attack the city. My father-in-law only needs to storm the south gate!"
"good!"
Lu Bu did not hesitate and immediately ordered troops to sound the trumpet. At the same time, he sent people to notify Zhang Xiu who was stationed in the west of the city and Huang Zhong who was stationed in the north of the city to carry out auxiliary attacks on Xuchang according to the plan or to attract enemy troops, so that the enemy could not concentrate all their efforts to defend the south.
Door.
Naturally, the news here could not be hidden from Xuchang City, but at this time, Xuchang City was just as Chu Nan thought. Dong Cheng's death was like a fuse, detonating a series of reactions.
In the urn city, Dong Cheng's head had fallen to the ground, and Cao Peng laughed heartily.
"What are you doing!?" Xun Yu's voice came from behind and interrupted Cao Peng's laughter. When he saw this scene, a trace of sweat fell on his forehead.
"Your Majesty, please take a good look at the good deeds he has done!" Cao Peng was not afraid of Xun Yu at this moment. With a move of his hand, he summoned the blood-stained edict and threw it to Xun Yu: "If you don't kill this person, what's the law of heaven?"
!?"
Xun Yu glanced at it casually. In fact, the content of the edict is not important. As long as these people know something... You Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head and sighed: "Even if he deserves to be killed, he shouldn't deserve to be killed now!"
The various forces in the city maintain a delicate balance. Xun Yu has been stabilizing this balance in the past two days. As long as this balance is completely stabilized and everyone can work together, Xun Yu is confident that he can stop Lu Bu again, so he
Dong Chengcai turned a blind eye. Compared to Xuchang's stability, Dong Cheng jumped up and down like a monkey. In fact, he was helping Xun Yu to delay time.
The question now is not whether Dong Cheng should die. This is just like there is no right or wrong in the adult world. The question now is whether Dong Cheng should die now, let alone in public like this. Xun Yu worked hard to stabilize
The situation is likely to be completely shattered with Dong Chengyi's death.
"Woo~"
The melodious sound of horns outside the city was accompanied by the faint sound of war drums. This was the signal for Lu Bu's army to attack the city. They attacked suddenly at this time. You said it was just a coincidence. You wouldn't believe it even if you beat Xun Yu to death. But how did the opponent do it so quickly?
Are you aware of Dong Cheng's death?
Xun Yu suspected that someone on the tower was secretly communicating with Lu Bu, but it was a pity that even if he knew it, he could not tell him at this time, otherwise it would be more likely to cause confusion.
"Oh, I must defend the city before I come back!" A thousand words turned into a sigh from Xun Yu. This was the situation he least wanted to see. Unfortunately, the matter was irreversible, so he had to find a way to settle it. He stared at
After the two of them glanced at each other, they turned around and hurried out of the Wengcheng towards the palace.
make a mistake?
Cao Peng and Xu Ding looked at each other. They didn't think they were at fault. However, as soon as Dong Cheng died, Lu Bu launched an siege as promised. Isn't it a coincidence?
No need to negotiate?
The two of them looked at Dong Cheng's body on the ground, and vaguely felt that something was wrong. If all this was planned by someone... A chilling feeling on their spines made the two of them shiver. This was not what their IQs should be.
issues to consider.
"Anyway, as your command said, keep the city safe!" What has happened has already happened, and even if it is a mistake, it cannot be undone. Xu Ding looked at Cao Peng and left a message: "I will return to the east gate. If I need support, I will
Beacon fire!" Then he hurriedly led the troops back to the East City. Although there was no enemy in the East City, it was impossible to be undefended, but it was easier than the other three gates.
Cao Peng didn't waste any time. He quickly returned to the city tower and prepared to defend the city with Wang Zhong. Here he was facing Lu Bu's main force, so the pressure must be the greatest. As long as he held on, he would be fine, right? But why haven't those Confucians arrived yet?
On the other side, when Xun Yu left the Wengcheng and was about to go to the palace to meet Liu Xie, he saw the officials headed by Kong Rong walking towards him. Judging from their faces, they all looked a little unkind, and his heart sank.
He walked forward and frowned: "Mr. Wen Ju, why are you here?"
"He came when he heard the sound of war drums. How could Lu Bu send troops at this time?" Kong Rong frowned.
Why not?
This thought just flashed in his mind and then disappeared. Xun Yu sighed in his heart. I'm afraid Dong Cheng's plan was not a secret. Kong Rong and Zhong Ji probably knew about it and even agreed to Dong Cheng's plan, so Lu Bu did this.
When troops were sent out at the right time, these people thought it was a bit strange.
Just as he was about to say something, Zhong Ji squinted at the bloody edict in Xun Yu's hand, frowned and said, "Wen Ruo, why is this edict in your hand!?"
Xun Yu looked at the edict in his hand, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Everyone, these are not important. The most important thing right now is to defend the city. If Lu Bu is allowed to invade the city, where will the dignity of the Han Dynasty be? Where will the majesty of the emperor be?
"
"Where is Dong Cheqi?" Kong Rong looked at the edict in Xun Yu's hand and asked in a deep voice, frowning.
Why does this old man cling to such trivial matters at critical moments?
Xun Yu felt violent in his heart. Do you really think that after Lu Bu enters the city, your status will be higher than before? Just think about what Dong Zhuo was like when he entered the court.
"There was some misunderstanding with the general who defended the city, and I suffered some minor injuries." Xun Yu took a deep breath and suppressed the irritation in his chest. At this time, he had to stay calm and explain to everyone with a warm smile on his face.
road.
Someone used a shovel on my neck and it shook me, but I didn't feel any pain, so it shouldn't be serious.
However, Xun Yu's explanation obviously did not satisfy Kong Rong and others. They knew that Dong Cheng went out of the city to deliver the edict to Lu Bu. Judging from the time, the edict should not have been sent out of the city yet. Why did Lu Bu come here first? This is obviously not true.
Normal, and why did Dong Cheng disappear at this time?
"Three feet in front of me is Dong Cheng!" Zhongji said without any nonsense and directly used his words to express his power. However, before he finished speaking, there was no change in the surroundings, and his figure did not move.
"There is a military formation to block it!" Zhongji looked at the Wengcheng in front. There were only two places in Xuchang where the Yanchu Dharma Suit could not go. One was the imperial palace. I wonder if it was because of the place where the emperor was, and the Yanchu Dharma Sui lost its effectiveness there.
.
Another thing is that after the military formation is deployed, it is impossible to enter the area covered by the military formation from the outside. This is not only true in the city, but also anywhere as long as the military formation is deployed.
And for some reason recently, the probability of verbal spells failing has increased. Sometimes, even if there is no interference, such large-scale verbal spells will not be able to be used.
Kong Rong and several others each used it once, but failed. Obviously, it was not because of a failure of their abilities.
Dong Cheng had been out of the palace for a while, so it was naturally impossible for him to be in the palace at this moment. If he had not left the city, he seemed to have been able to stay in the urn city surrounded by the military formation.
Zhongji immediately walked towards Wengcheng, but after walking less than ten steps, his eyes suddenly blurred, and he returned to the place where he left before. Zhongji looked at Xunyu with an ugly expression: "What does Wen Ruo mean?"
Looking at Xuchang, there are only a few people who have this ability, and it is obvious that only Xun Yu can do it now.
"You are all ministers of the imperial court. No matter what Dong Cheqi is doing, now that the enemy is facing us, shouldn't we protect Xuchang first?"
After passing by, he said in a deep voice: "Don't you really think that after Lu Bu breaks the city, it will be good for you?"
"Wen Ruo said this, it seems that General Dong is not just a minor injury?" Wang Zifu frowned and looked at Xun Yu: "Does Wen Ruo really want to be with the Han Dynasty or Cao Cao!?"
Even with Xun Yu's broad mind, he felt a little tight-chested when faced with these people trying to embarrass him at this time.
