Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 294 Frustration
"General Dong, what's the matter!?" When he saw the eye-catching slap print on Dong Cheng's face appearing in front of his eyes, the natural transformation of surprise and concern on Chu Nan's face warmed Dong Cheng's heart. It's ironic to suffer a dull loss in the city, but to get comfort from the enemy.

"Thank you Ziyan for your concern, some trivial things are nothing to worry about." Dong Cheng waved his hand, seeing that the army was dividing up, and it seemed that they were going to besiege the city, he felt a little anxious, and quickly asked, "Ziyan, where is Marquis Wen?"

"Father-in-law is dividing up his troops and preparing to attack the city. Now our army is superior, so we are preparing to siege." Chu Nan brought Dong Cheng to the central army, pointed to the distance and said, "General, forgot? Although Cao Cao is dead, Xuchang is still under the control of Cao's remnant party. Now is the time to break the city and save His Majesty. You have to work hard. Don't worry, the general, after breaking the city, our army will definitely do nothing to the people in the city!"

"No need, now that His Majesty has taken power in person, you can't attack the city anymore. If you attack again, it will be a crime, and it will be a serious crime. I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of Marquis Wen!" Dong Cheng immediately waved his hands to stop him.

"Oh?" Chu Nan asked Dong Cheng to get on the carriage, frowned and looked at him, "General, are you sure His Majesty is now in power?"

Hearing his strange tone of voice, Dong Cheng also looked suspicious, and said with a serious expression, "What does Ziyan mean by that?"

"Don't be angry, general. I don't mean to offend you. I just want to remind the general that although Cao Cao is dead, most of the defenders in Xuchang belong to his sect. Even if the news of Cao Cao's death spreads, these people will not be changed immediately. At this time, if someone from the Cao family stands up and calls out, although they may not be able to become the second Cao Cao, but for loyal ministers such as His Majesty and the General, they may be more dangerous than Cao Cao." Chu Nan looked at Xu Chang's direction and said with emotion : "What do you think the general said?"

"The direct descendants of the Cao family have fled Xuchang long ago, but what Ziyan said is not unreasonable, those former Cao thieves are indeed rebellious." Thinking of Lu Chang and the others, Dong Cheng snorted coldly: "Don't worry, these things are out of their hands. "

Chu Nan glanced at him and said with a meaningful smile: "So, the general is sure you want me to withdraw at this time?"

"What's the meaning of Ziyan? Of course he has to withdraw, otherwise he is no different from that Cao thief?" Dong Cheng frowned, he was very dissatisfied with Chu Nan's eccentric tone.

"It seems that the general is certain that the general and His Majesty can decide the city of Xuchang." Chu Nan sighed, pointed in the direction of the city gate and said, "In this way, I have dozens of soldiers who charged too hard before. , entered the city by mistake, and was trapped in the cave by the Qianjun gate. I can persuade my father-in-law to delay the attack, and the general can go back first. If I can persuade them to open the city and release these people, I will believe in what the general said. The words are correct, immediately withdraw the troops, if not..."

"Okay!" Dong Cheng directly interrupted Chu Nan's words, looked at Chu Nan and said, "It's a deal, and I will order them to release him. I only hope that Marquis Wen can keep his word. When he is released, he will be released immediately." withdraw troops!"

"It's a deal." Chu Nan nodded.

"A word is settled!"

After the agreement was made, Dong Cheng turned around and left without saying a word. Chu Nan sent him out in person. As for the rewards brought by Dong Cheng, Chu Nan stayed unceremoniously, and the money was sent to the camp. As for the court ladies ...

When Lu Bu saw those court ladies, he thought of the twenty pregnant women brought by Zhong Yao before, and instead of speaking, he looked at Chu Nan.

Chu Nan asked these maids to be sent to the camp together before he smiled and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, they are all perfect."

"Ziyan, if Dong Chengzhen wants people out, we really want to withdraw our troops?" Lu Bu and Chu Nan returned to the banner of the Commander in Chief of the Chinese Army, and after hearing Chu Nan's detailed account of the incident, they said in surprise, "It won't be true." Is it because the other party has released dozens of people and then withdraws troops?

"Father-in-law also thinks this is absurd?" Chu Nan asked with a smile.

Lu Bu nodded. It is indeed absurd to release people because of dozens of people.

"I think General Cao Jun will find it even more absurd when he hears this reason!" The smile on Chu Nan's face became wider.

So?

Doesn't Lu Bu understand the brain circuit of his son-in-law very well, does this have anything to do with them?

"So the city guards probably won't accept this reason, and will detain people who refuse to accept Dong Cheng's order, but if they have to spend all their energy to release dozens of people, even if these dozens of people come out, I don't think so Dong Cheng would not want me to withdraw our troops, we can stay here overnight and wait for the news." Chu Nan said with a smile.

"It's just letting people go, it takes one night?" Lu Bu didn't believe it.

"It doesn't take one night to release people. If Xun Yu said it, one sentence might be enough, but if Dong Cheng wants to persuade the defenders to release people, one night may not be enough!"

Chu Nan said with a smile: "Then Dong Cheng thought that once Cao Cao died, the emperor would be able to regain control of the government and military power. In this way, he, a chariot general, would also be in power and become a powerful figure in Xuchang;

But things are not as simple as he thought. The real power in the city is in the hands of Cao Cao's former subordinates. How could he easily regain control?Going back this time, releasing Wei Yan and the others will definitely be able to do it, but it will also let him see clearly his own weight in Xuchang City, and then his father-in-law can directly agree to withdraw his troops as a gesture. "

"At that time, I'm afraid he begged us not to withdraw our troops." Hearing Chu Nan's detailed explanation, Lu Bu also recalled it, and sneered.

What Dong Cheng wanted was to control the real power, but the real power in Xuchang City was not something he could easily grasp, so the final result, it is estimated that Dong Cheng's face would not be too good.

"Zi Yan, if the defenders immediately open the city gate to let people back, wouldn't they agree to Dong Cheng?" Lu Bu suddenly thought of a loophole, and the other party didn't want to waste any more words on it. That's all.

"The one who agreed to Dong Cheng is the son-in-law, but the father-in-law is the one who makes the decision in this army. This matter... has to be discussed with the father-in-law." Chu Nan kindly reminded Lu Bu that he is the real caller in the army and speaks for himself It doesn't count.

"Retreat!" Lu Bu looked at his son-in-law speechlessly, and suddenly felt that Dong Cheng was a bit pitiful living in this world, but this is also very good. The son-in-law obviously wanted to stir up internal fighting in the city, as I said before, let Dong Cheng For their use, from this point of view, it might be available tomorrow, and he ordered the troops to withdraw immediately, so he is also looking forward to what will happen tomorrow?This feeling of strategizing... so good!
On the other hand, after Dong Cheng returned to the city, he didn't go to the palace immediately, but went directly to the south gate and let dozens of people go. What's the problem?
When Cao Peng saw Lu Bu on the tower, he just fired a few arrows, and then began to spread out his troops. It seemed that he was going to attack by force.

Just as he was about to defend the city and fight Lv Bu to the end, he saw that Lv Bu had started to withdraw his troops again, which made Cao Peng, who was already full of enthusiasm, a little at a loss.

Just as he was wondering, he saw Dong Cheng and his men hurrying towards this side. Seeing this man, Cao Peng frowned in disgust and said, "What are you doing here?"

"Quickly open the gate and let these Xuzhou soldiers go out!" Dong Cheng came up and ordered directly to Cao Peng.

Cao Peng:? ? ?
Although dozens of people are not a threat, why let them go?Also, do you have some misunderstandings about your status?When is it your turn to order?
"Is the general joking?" Cao Peng looked at Dong Cheng, suppressed the anger in his chest, and frowned.

"How can I have time to joke with you?" Dong Cheng said angrily, "Marquis Wen has already promised me that as long as he lets people go, he will immediately withdraw his troops!"

"You believe this!?" Cao Peng looked at Dong Cheng incredulously, because of dozens of people?So tens of thousands of people are going to withdraw their troops. If we fight against Lu Bu in the future, will we only need to take some Xuzhou troops as hostages first to force Lu Bu to retreat?

At this moment, Cao Peng looked at Dong Cheng with a bit of disdain.

"Don't take the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!" At this moment, Dong Cheng also sensed something was wrong, but there were only a few dozen people, so he let it go. If he didn't believe it, he would discuss it with Lu Bu again, but Cao Peng's questioning attitude made Dong Cheng feel uncomfortable. Cheng was very displeased, you are a young general, you just follow orders to do things, why come all these nonsense, especially that undisguised look of contempt, hurt Dong Cheng even more, and sternly said: "Hurry up and let him go."

"Forgive me, general, but the general will not follow orders!" Cao Peng laughed angrily, and cupped his fists in a perfunctory salute.

"Presumptuous! Do you think Xuchang City is still up to you at this time!?" Dong Cheng was furious, glaring at Cao Peng and said: "Believe it or not, I will report to His Majesty immediately, and I will teach you to die!"

"Otherwise, who do you think the general is in charge of? General, just go to the emperor and sue me! I want to see what he will say?" Cao Peng sneered, even if Cao Cao died, the military power in Xuchang was in the hands of these old Cao troops, and they didn't want to Listen, who can force them to fail?
emperor?ridiculous!
"You... come here!" Dong Cheng was furious. This person meant to insult the emperor. He immediately wanted to order someone to take Cao Peng down. He, Dong Cheng's momentum suddenly fell, he shook his sleeves and said, "Let's go!"

"Huh~"

Many people showed mocking smiles as they watched Dong Cheng leave with a livid face.

At this moment, whether Chu Nan's promises were sincere or not was no longer important, what was important was that the contemptuous and mocking attitude of these people when facing him deeply hurt Dong Cheng's inflated self-esteem.

These people must not make it easier!
At that moment, Dong Cheng found Xun Yu and asked Xun Yu to let these people go. However, after hearing Dong Cheng's story, Xun Yu also advised him to think twice. It is impossible for Lu Bu to withdraw his troops because of this.

But at this moment, what Dong Cheng wanted was not for Lv Bu to withdraw his troops. He just wanted his own words to be valued due to his status. Even many people in the court did not take their words seriously.

This made Dong Cheng, who had always thought that once Cao Cao died, he would join the real power class in Xuchang City, feel a deep sense of frustration. He didn't come to the palace until late at night exhausted. Dozens of people are useful only if the emperor personally issued an edict, which made Dong Cheng feel the frustration he had never experienced before...

　It rained suddenly last night, I didn't close the window, I got up late this morning, sorry~
