My husband Zhuge Kongming

Chapter 497 495 Cao Cao’s Hidden Soldiers

July is hot, and the weather is getting cooler.

Cao Cao looked at Xuchang, where he had stayed for many years, with a lot of emotion in his eyes, and then asked Cao Chun beside him, "Zihe, how is the situation in Xuchang City?"

"According to the news, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei took away more than [-] soldiers. There are not many defenders in Xuchang City," Cao Chun answered respectfully, "But Liu Bei also transferred most of the soldiers who stayed in Ye County to Xuchang. Therefore, now, In the city of Xuchang, there were about [-] soldiers guarding the city, and the leader was Zhao Zilong."

"Zhao Zilong?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes.

He remembered that this man was a soldier under Gongsun Zan.

However, Liu Bei was always good at winning people's hearts, and almost all of the people around him who were bewitched by him were completely devoted to Liu Bei.

"Is this the person who captured Yuan Rang alive before?"

Cao Chun was stunned for a moment, then nodded and shook his head, "It seems to be Zhao Zilong, but it seems not."

Cao Cao nodded slightly, "Regardless of whether it is true or not, there are only fifteen thousand soldiers, so there is nothing to fear."

"But there is still news." Cao Chun's tone was rather difficult.

"What?" Cao Cao was puzzled.

"Just yesterday, Xuchang City suddenly gained nearly [-] defenders, all of whom are followers of the Jingzhou family."

Cao Cao was stunned, "Why are these aristocratic families joining in the fun of a major campaign?"

Cao Chun sighed and explained the reason.

When Cao Cao heard that the other party was going to build a monument in Xuchang City to record the amount of money, food and manpower donated by each family, and to make this material account public, he gritted his teeth.

"Liu Xuande gave birth to a good son!"

Cao Chun sighed, "I don't think so. Liu Chan became Chu Anjun's teacher."

Cao Cao was so angry that he said, "When I, the Prime Minister, take over Jingzhou, I will need these aristocratic families to sacrifice their flags!"

Cao Chun nodded, that was natural.

There was nothing the Jingzhou family could do to help them.

"It just so happened that the monument was erected, so I won't have to find anyone again!" Cao Cao snorted again. In this way, he could also take a piece of meat from the Jingzhou family.

The wealthy families in the south are not comparable to the wealthy families in the north today.

"What the Prime Minister said is very true."

"If you don't talk about this, does Zihe have a good strategy to break the city?" Cao Cao changed the topic.

Cao Chun nodded, "After all, Xuchang has been in the hands of the Prime Minister for many years. The counterattack plan may be to secretly go underground."

Cao Cao smiled. The underground military tunnel he built in Xuchang was not necessarily something Liu Bei and his group could explore.

Even if the other party knew it, at most he would think that it was where Cao Mengde used to hide supplies.

At that time, he welcomed the Han Dynasty and presented himself as the emperor. In order to hide his troops, he followed Guo Jia's suggestion of "using troops underground" and had a tunnel secretly built for the purpose of training, concealing and transferring troops.

This tunnel is made of green bricks, about eight feet wide and one foot high. Two groups of people and horses can travel freely. Its total length is 45 miles.

There are several exits in the city, including the location of Xuchang Palace and his Sikong Mansion. However, before the transfer, all exits were safely and properly handled. After all, it was Xun Yu who was responsible for the aftermath.

The exit outside the city happened to be in a village twenty miles west of Xuchang City.

"In that case, has Zihe sent someone to investigate?"

Cao Chun shook his head, "Afraid of disturbing Liu Beijun, I haven't sent anyone to investigate for the time being."

Cao Cao said with satisfaction, "Then please trouble Zihe and take someone to the exit of Xuchang Palace to have a look. I'm sorry that Liu Xuande doesn't dare to station troops in the palace."

"promise."

Inside Xuchang City.

Zhuge Liang was discussing countermeasures with Zhao Yun and Xiang Chong.

"Cao's army besieged and refused to attack. Now reinforcements are coming from the south. It can be seen that the matter in Luoyang is done." Zhuge Liang smiled.

"Why?" Xiang Chong was puzzled.

"According to the news, when Cao Cao learned that his lord was sending troops to Luoyang, he led his troops to rush towards Luoyang. But the opponent's appearance here at this time means that Luoyang has been decided."

Zhao Yun and Xiang Chong nodded.

"But if this happens, the pressure on us to defend the city will increase sharply." Xiang Chong frowned, feeling a little anxious.

That's Cao Cao.

Welcoming the emperor Du Xu, defeating Yuan Shao, conquering the north, purging the aristocratic family, and becoming the prime minister of the Han thief Cao Cao.

It can be said that he personally led the army on the expedition and rarely suffered defeat.

Oh, that time in Wancheng seemed to have to be settled.After doing this, Xiang Chong felt more at ease.

What's more, Jingzhou's plan to use troops against Cao Cao seems to have come true.

Take Chang'an and send envoys to stabilize Xiliang.

He captured Xiahou Dun alive and exchanged his life for the return of Xuchang City.

Now that the army is in Luoyang, the pressure on Xuchang will be greatly increased.

"It doesn't matter." Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Let's wait for Cao's army to attack the city first, and then we can see the huge violations."

Xiang Chong had no choice but to agree.

Since Zhuge Liang was prepared, he could only watch first.

That night.

Cao Chun led his troops from the exit of the Tibetan Army Road outside the city to Xuchang City.

"General? It seems that the exit of Xuchang Palace cannot be opened."

"Can't open it?" Cao Chun was puzzled.

At the beginning of the design of Zangbing Road, the exit could be entered and exited in both directions.

Even if there is no one outside the exit, they can still open the hole from the inside.

"Yes, the rope on the door opener cannot be pulled at all."

Cao Chun frowned, and then headed towards the exit. Over there, the soldiers lined up in two rows and were already working hard to stir the rope.

But the entrance of the cave didn't move at all.

"Let's explore the exit of Sikong Mansion." Cao Chun suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

However, for a moment, the soldiers came to announce that the exit could not be moved.

Cao Chun was so angry that he co-wrote, has this hidden military path been discovered?
But he didn't think that all exits could be blocked.

So he led his soldiers to explore other exits.

Three shifts.

Zhuge Liang was woken up by his attendants, who said that there were indeed strange noises in several places where people had been sent to guard before.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Just ask General Zilong to send people to guard it. There is no need to worry."

"promise."

Seeing the attendants retreating, Zhuge Liang sighed, A Chu's information was given in a timely manner.

Just a month ago, he received a letter from Huang Yueying, saying that she had received a tip that Cao Cao had a hidden military tunnel in Xuchang City.

Then, Zhuge Liang guessed the approximate location and sent people to find it, and they found it.

Then they directly asked people to seal all the major exits with green ash.

Therefore, it is impossible for Cao Cao to secretly use this underground tunnel.

It can make the other person feel depressed and happy.

Then he fell asleep happily.

Cao Cao's eyes widened after hearing Cao Chun's report, "How did the other party know about the Cangbing Dao?"

Cao Chun knelt down on one knee, "I don't know, but all the exits in the city have been searched and sealed."

Cao Cao frowned.

At that time, the strategy of hiding the art of war was given by Guo Jia, and few people knew about it, let alone Liu Bei's group.

When Xun Yu led his people to withdraw from Xuchang, they would definitely handle these exits properly.

Can Liu Bei find out?
What kind of capable people are there?
"It doesn't matter. In that case, we will try to attack the city tomorrow." Cao Cao held his forehead, his head hurt.

Being called out in the middle of the night really gives me a headache.

Not only did I have a headache, but my chest was also a little tight.

Is he really old?
"promise."

happy National Day!

As the title says, good night, my dear ones.
