Chapter 849: Changing Banners on the White Gate Building
Chen Gong's urgent order made the driver who was unloading the horse harness and the guards who had just sat down look at each other. I wonder what kind of boring thing Chen Gong is looking for?
Didn't he just come back from being angry? Why did he have to send it to his door again?
"Come on...why are you standing still?" Chen Gong roared almost hysterically, finally making the guards and grooms realize that Chen Gong's urgency was no joke!
The sun was setting and another day was about to pass. Chen Gong hurried back to Nancheng and when he stepped on the steps of the Baimen Tower, the sky was already dark.
As soon as Chen Gong stepped into the area of Nancheng, he noticed something unusual. It was surprisingly abnormal. The entire Nancheng was supposed to be a place where heavy troops were stored, and the Baimen Tower, which was usually bustling with people, was even more lively with people coming and going. But Chen Gong
When they arrived, they found that the entire Nancheng Baimen downstairs was completely silent. Chen Gong even shouted several times, but no one answered.
"Are they all dead?" Chen Gong muttered, and immediately overturned his random speculation. No matter how powerful Hou Cheng was, he only had a few people, so it was possible to kill everyone in Baimen Tower so quickly.
"But where have all the people gone?"
Feeling that things had gone beyond his imagination, Chen Gong rushed up to the city in three steps and two steps at a time, but he didn't know that Lu Bu was sleeping in a barracks not far from the meeting hall. As soon as he entered the Baimen Tower, he went straight to the meeting hall, hoping to get there in time.
Go and report to Lu Bu.
Along the way, he was worried that it was too late. There was not a lamp or a torch on the Baimen Tower, and he met no one. It looked extremely eerie, as if everyone was dead. But when Chen Gong left
When passing the barracks, a tall figure suddenly appeared in Chen Gong's blurred vision in the darkness.
"General Zhang?..."
Chen Gong followed the figure's outline, slowed down and approached the figure and called out tentatively.
The man did not move, as if he were a stone statue that had lost its mind and could not speak or move.
Is that a living person? Chen Gong was panting all the way and his head was deprived of oxygen. When he boldly approached the stone statue, he squinted and finally saw clearly that it was Zhang Liao. But this Zhang Liao's eyes were dull and he was stunned.
He looked at the two closed camp doors in front of him and remained motionless.
"General Zhang...why are you here...where are the others?" Chen Gong noticed Zhang Liao's strange behavior, but as Lu Bu's life and death friend, Chen Gong was still convinced when he saw Zhang Liao here and now.
I would never have thought that Zhang Liao would betray Lu Bu.
"Has General Zhang seen Hou Cheng? Where are the others? What happened?"
All Chen Gong could think about at this time was that something happened at Baimen Tower, but he never thought that something had happened to Lu Bu.
Chen Gong's repeated questions about the other people on the White Gate Tower finally made Zhang Liao turn his head and look at Chen Gong in the darkness. If Chen Gong had better eyesight at this time, he would have noticed that Zhang Liao's eyes were so empty.
, looking at Chen Gong as if he were looking at a dead person.
But just when he was wondering why Zhang Liao didn't answer, there was a creak beside him, and a gray light came out from a camp door where Chen Gong was standing. Then the curtain of the barracks was quietly lifted, and Song Xian
The leader, Hou Cheng, and the other three people all stood up in unison, carrying something heavy in their hands.
"you……"
Under a burst of glare, before Chen Gong could catch up with his words and thoughts, who had just regained his sight, he saw Hou Cheng rushing in front of him, and a big dark fist hit Chen Gong's face and hit him hard.
Chen Gong suddenly let out an "Oh", his pupils shrank for a while, and his head was filled with stars. Then he lay down on the ground with a bang, as unconscious as Lu Bu on the note.
"Zhang Liao, why are you so dazed? We have reached this point and can't turn back. Let's do it quickly and tie this guy up so that we can send a signal to Duke Cao!" Hou Cheng said nervously under the dim light.
"Alas!" After Zhang Liao saw clearly Lu Bu who was tied up like a rice dumpling, he finally sighed. He was about to bend down and drag Chen Gong, who was like a dead man, into the barracks and treat him like Lu Bu.
, and Hou Cheng tied him up.
Suddenly, Lu Bu shouted loudly and muttered: "Tie it tighter, tie it tighter!"
Lu Bu's sudden opening made them so frightened that Song Xian and Wei Xu, who were tiptoeing to carry the big document that tied Lu Bu, jumped so much that they almost fell down at the door. Zhang Liao, who had been in a trance, and Hou Cheng, who was extremely excited, also stopped.
Hands, several people looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
But after waiting for a long time, except for the snoring that gradually sounded on the bill, there was no other sound. Song Xian, Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng slowly straightened up, stretched out their heads and looked at Lu Bu, but they saw that he was still there.
As he fell asleep, without opening his eyes, he gently put down the big bill. Wei Xu quickly returned to the house, took out a few ropes, and prepared to add a few more ropes to tie Lu Bu. Even if the drug failed, Lu Bu woke up.
It's not easy to break free either.
Several people were busy tying ropes to Lu Bu's body and the case, when suddenly Lu Bu said again: "Tighten it tight, strangle it to death!"
This time they were not as nervous as last time. If they paid closer attention, they would realize that Lu Bu was talking in his sleep. They also couldn't help but think of the scene when Lu Bu tied up Diao Chan to fight in the last battle, thinking that Lu Bu was probably still dreaming at this time.
During that process.
"Dream! It's best never to wake up!" Song Xian and others, who had lost their heroic spirit in the past, secretly cursed Lu Bu on the bill.
These so-called heroes were not as skilled in plotting against Lu Bu as they imagined. They followed Cao Zhi's instructions and killed or captured Lu Bu alive before opening the city gate. Lu Bu cooperated very well and drank up Zhang Liao's wine.
He didn't go and slept directly in the barracks.
This saved a few of them from preparing for an ambush and internal fight in the city. While Lu Bu was sleeping, they first sprinkled some poison in the room, and then successfully extracted the Fang Tian Hua Ji under Lu Bu's head.
No resistance was encountered.
Everything seems to be developing in a surprisingly smooth direction. Zhang Liao has already dismissed the defenders up and down the Baimen Tower, but his cronies are lurking on both sides of the Baimen Tower. If an accident occurs, they will rush out to rescue Zhang Liao and others.
At this time, the cronies of several other generals were also in their own defense areas and barracks, ready to carry out rebellion and uprising at any time, and to kill all the stubborn people in the city who wanted to fight to the end.
But in the barracks above Baimen Tower, Song Xian, Hou Cheng and others, who had already been able to kill, were busy with their swords in their hands, but no one dared to kill Lu Bu. On the battlefield
These people would never kill a tit-for-tat enemy with mercy, but today, facing the unconscious Lu Bu, they couldn't muster the courage to kill him.
Hou Cheng, who hated Lu Bu the most, was holding a badger knife. His palms were sweating over and over again. After standing up and sitting down countless times, he still didn't dare to make a move. Finally, when he asked several other people in the room, they all said no.
Dare, but couldn't bear to do it. After some discussion, they decided that it would be better for Cao Zhi to deal with Lu Bu after he entered the city. Both killing and capturing alive were completed tasks. Song Xian, Hou
On this issue, a few people chose the latter with surprising tacit understanding. Although they were determined to betray Lu Bu, they had no choice but to treat this former hero, former fierce god, and their lord who they respected and respected so much.
No one could kill him. Zhang Liao didn't even have the courage to stand in this room, and he fell into a state of trance for a while.
Just when Hou Cheng and others were carrying Lu Bu and trying to move him to the meeting hall above the White Gate, they were bumped into by Chen Gong who happened to be passing by. The next few people followed the same pattern and tied Chen Gong to a door panel and threw him
In the barracks, Lu Bu was placed in the meeting hall and twenty swordsmen and axemen were sent to watch him.
Second division of labor: Song Xian and Zhang Liao were preparing to send signals in Nancheng and Xicheng to open the city gates and lead Cao's army into the city. Hou Cheng and Wei Xu led their troops directly to the residences of important officials such as Lu Mansion and Chen Mansion. Lu Bu was the same as the family members of these officials.
It is the best trophy to offer to Duke Cao, and it is also the most effective means of blackmail...
Just when there was an unusual sudden surge in Xiapi City, Cao's army, which had retreated to the high ground three miles away from Xiapi City, spread out like a long dragon on the roads to the south and west of the city. In this silent night, this army and horses moved unusually
Neat and unusually solemn. The army was stationed neatly at various arteries, ready to attack at any time.
You must know that once hundreds of thousands of troops are deployed, they can pave a road that stretches for dozens of miles in a fighting state. The scene is so spectacular. If there are more tens of thousands of horses galloping and shouting in unison, the scene will be unprecedented and unparalleled.
Human blood vessels swell.
But at this time, this army of thousands of horses was silent, exuding a suppressed silence. It was as if they were waiting for an order to rush over with overwhelming force and trample the Xiapi City in their eyes into a pile of rotten flesh.
!Even if there is the greatest hero in the world "Lu Bu" in the city, it is difficult for him to be trampled by thousands of soldiers one after another!
This is Cao Zhi's army, an iron-blooded army waiting to return in triumph!
And right in the middle of this dozens of miles of road, Cao Zhi's handsome tent stood there like a rock in a giant lang. Cao Zhi also moved his handsome tent here today to prepare for the final blow of his trip. From then on.
At dusk today, the main generals of Cao’s army
They were shocked by the young man in front of them who was bathed in the golden light of the setting sun. Watching his tall figure slowly walking towards the building of the White Gate Tower in Xiapi City not far away, everyone felt the influence he brought with every move.
A huge amount of pressure.
This is probably the aura that dominates the world and is arrogant. An indescribable and indescribable aura that can put pressure on you and make you feel like you can't even breathe.
Cao Zhizheng is becoming more and more like a king who dominates everything, coming to this army with the aura of dominating the world!
Even though night has fallen, this ubiquitous aura is like moonlight. Without your noticing, Cao Zhi has spread them to every corner of this land!
When everyone who was suffering could hardly bear this dreamlike pressure, they saw the white flag of surrender rising on the White Gate Tower in Xiapi City, and soon a similar flag was raised on the highest point of the West City Tower.
