Lu Xuan and Xu Shu were playing Go. Their chess skills were about the same, so the situation on the chessboard was tense, and it was hard to tell the outcome for a while.
After Xu Shu fell into the trap, he said: "My lord, according to what Cao Cao said, the Puyang Tian family is an internal agent. It is a sure thing that Cao Cao will lead people into the city to attack Lu Bu tonight. What are we doing staying up late? Let's go to bed early."
Already."
Lu Xuan also lost a piece, shook his head and said: "It's impossible, Cao Cao will definitely fall into the trap, and Cao Cao will be defeated again."
"Why?"
Xu Shu asked in confusion.
Lu Xuan never said anything about Chen Gong. Now that Xu Shu asked, Lu Xuan told him about his visit to Chen Gong last night.
After Xu Shu heard this, he was extremely shocked.
After being stunned for a long time, he came back to his senses and said: "I didn't expect that Chen Gong was so bold, shameless and unscrupulous. He asked his lord to betray his faith and attack Cao Cao, and then destroyed Lu Bu. Although he could capture Yanzhou, he lost the foundation of his life.
"
"My lord is right to refuse."
"In the face of overwhelming interests, the lord sticks to the bottom line and is humble and admirable."
Xu Shu looked admiringly and said: "I guess Chen Gong is also confused in his heart. He has done everything, but the lord refuses."
Lu Xuan said: "It is very important for a man to do something and not do something. Although I rejected Chen Gong, he agreed to submit. Whether he really submitted or pretended to submit, I don't know. But
Chen Gong's plan to plot against Cao Cao is still advancing."
Xu Shu thought about it and said, "Cao Cao will definitely take away the main force of the Qingzhou soldiers if he sends troops. Isn't it easy for Lu Bu to ambush in the city?"
Lu Xuan explained: "Cao Cao has not yet adapted to Lu Bu's cavalry aggressive offensive. In addition, under Lu Bu's command, there are also elites from the trapped camp controlled by Gao Shun. These are real elites, more elite than the Qingzhou soldiers."
"Lü Bu came out with all his elite troops, but Cao Cao was suddenly ambushed. It was late at night, and Cao Cao's military morale was easily shaken."
"So, Cao Cao may not be able to handle it."
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "What I'm thinking about is whether Chen Gong will take action against us and kill us and Cao Cao in one fell swoop."
Xu Shu thought for a while and said: "According to what the lord explained, Chen Gong needs the interests of Yanzhou. I believe that he is likely to betray the lord."
"We'll see."
Lu Xuan smiled softly.
The two played chess, and Lu Xuan gave the general arrangements for tonight so that Xu Shu could respond.
Xu Shu wrote them all down one by one.
The two were playing chess, and not long after, Lu Meng hurried in and reported: "My lord, the sentry sent back news that Cao Cao led his troops to leave the camp and headed towards the east gate of Puyang County."
Lu Xuan stood up and said: "The show has begun, Yuan Zhi, you arrange according to the plan, I will go to Cao Ying."
Xu Shu nodded.
Lu Xuan took Lu Meng and Zhou Tai and walked directly towards Cao Cao's camp.
The lights in Cao Cao's camp were brightly lit.
The people left behind were Xi Zhicai and Xun You who assisted. When they learned that Lu Xuan was coming, they invited Lu Xuan into the Chinese army's tent together.
Xi Zhicai took the initiative and said, "Shijun Lu came here overnight, what's the matter?"
Lu Xuan said: "Mr. Xi, Mr. Xun, during the day, I reminded my father-in-law to be careful of the Tian family. He said that Tian Qing was very close to him and could not betray him. Because my father-in-law did not believe it, I did not persuade him, so he left.
I just came to find you."
Xi Zhicai's expression changed slightly and he said: "Lu Shijun, I also know Tian Qing. My lord has just established himself in Dongjun and is short of food and money. Tian Qing takes the initiative to support him. He has a good relationship with my lord, so he won't betray, right?"
Lu Xuan asked back: "Is the relationship between Chen Gong and his father-in-law good?"
Xi Zhicai's expression froze.
Lu Xuan's eyes were sharp and he continued: "Mr. Xi is a wise man, how come he is confused by the authorities? Chen Gong is the representative of the Puyang family, and the Tian family is also the Puyang family. Their relationship is closer, or is the relationship between Tian Qing and his father-in-law closer?
Woolen cloth?"
"The most important point, when it comes to the authenticity of the Tian family's surrender, is to rather believe that it is true than to believe that it is not true. If the Tian family really betrays, my father-in-law hastily attacked, and he will definitely be defeated."
"As a counselor, how can you ensure the safety of your father-in-law without any preparation?"
Lu Xuan said: "You should remain vigilant at all times. If you relax, can you afford the consequences if your father-in-law is in danger?"
brush!
Xi Zhicai's expression changed further.
He figured it out and said quickly: "Lu Shijun, I will immediately arrange for people to bring the lord back."
Lu Xuan looked solemn and said: "If you send people to chase my father-in-law now, I doubt whether he can make him withdraw his troops. Otherwise, I would not call you now. In addition, your actions will also alert the snake. Now
What you have to do is to take advantage of the situation. How many people do you have now and which generals are there?"
Xi Zhicai replied: "There are still 6,000 Qingzhou soldiers, and the lord has brought more than 20,000 people. The generals left in the army include Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others. The lord went this time, and only brought Xiahou Dun and Dian Wei with him.
.”
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Okay, you gather everyone and send out troops at any time. I arranged for sentries to keep an eye on Puyang County. As long as there are changes in the city, we will send out troops immediately. I will send out 800 advance soldiers and 2,000 black armored soldiers, and
Your men unite to attack."
Xi Zhicai nodded.
There was still a trace of luck in his heart, what if the lord's invasion of the army went smoothly?
Xun You was sitting next to him, also thinking. He also believed that Lu Xuan's arrangement was indeed reasonable.
"Report!"
Lu Meng's voice came.
Lu Meng hurriedly entered and reported: "My Lord, Caozhou Mu burned the east gate and led the Qingzhou Army into Puyang County."
Lu Xuandao: "I know."
He looked at Xi Zhicai and ordered: "We need to prepare water later. When we rush to rescue, we have to put out the fire at the east gate. During the day, my father-in-law said that he would set fire to the gate to show his trust in Tian.
Cut off the retreat, let all the Qingzhou soldiers fight their last, and use all their strength to defeat Lu Bu."
Xi Zhi's cheeks twitched when he heard this.
The lord's actions are tantamount to cutting off his own escape route.
He looked at Lu Xuan in front of him. Lu Xuan was still calm and composed, without any panic.
Xi Zhicai suddenly said: "Have Lord Lu made predictions about all this in advance?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "After considering the worst case scenario, I naturally made a prediction."
Xi Zhicai nodded and stopped talking.
He quickly made arrangements and mobilized the troops in the camp.
Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others all came. These people originally had some doubts about Xi Zhicai's arrangement. However, when Xia Houyuan and others saw Lu Xuan, they all became intimidated and did not question Lu Xuan's arrangement.
Lu Xuan had spoken before, telling Cao Cao to be careful of Lu Bu's army. Cao Cao and everyone else thought that Lu Bu was not worth mentioning.
In the end, he was defeated by Lu Bu.
It was Lu Xuan who turned the tide.
This time, it was Lu Xuan who stood up again. Everyone did not refute. Instead, they were a little worried about Cao Cao and waited one by one.
No one spoke, the atmosphere was a bit depressing, and time flew by in such an atmosphere.
"Report!"
Lu Meng's voice came again.
Lu Meng entered the camp and reported: "Lord, there are shouts of killing everywhere in the city. Some people shouted that Cao Cao was caught in a trap, and then there were constant shouts of killing. There were also soldiers from Qingzhou who braved the sea of fire and escaped, saying that Cao Cao was defeated by Lu Bu's cavalry.
.Cao Cao was trapped in the city, not knowing whether he was alive or dead."
Xi Zhicai, Xia Houyuan and others suddenly became nervous.
Everyone is extremely worried.
A flash of light flashed across Lu Xuan's eyes, he stood up and said, "Xi Zhicai, give the order to the entire army to dispatch immediately."
"As you command!"
Xi Zhicai nodded towards Xia Houyuan.
Lu Xuan looked at Lu Meng again and ordered: "Assemble Jiang Qin's eight hundred Xiandeng and two thousand black armored soldiers. We will rush into the city and rescue Cao Cao immediately."
"Here!"
Lu Meng left in a hurry.
Lu Xuan led Zhou Tai, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren and Cao Hong out of the camp, and led Cao Cao's 6,000 Qingzhou soldiers to join Jiang Qin. Then, he led 800 Xiandeng and 2,000 black armored soldiers to join together, and nearly 9,000 people went straight to the camp.
