Cao Thief

Chapter 647 Chain Count (22)

"what!"

With a loud cry, Cao Peng suddenly opened his eyes.

His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his heart was pounding.Several dental soldiers rushed into the big tent, seeing Cao Peng sitting in front of the handsome desk, they couldn't help feeling extremely nervous.

"Sir, what happened?"

Cao Peng took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down his ups and downs, waved his hands and said, "It's nothing, it's just a nightmare, you guys go down."

The dental soldiers looked at each other, bowed and exited the military tent.

Cao Peng stood up, walked to the corner of the big tent, splashed the water from the pottery basin on his face, and finally calmed down.

What a weird dream!
He closed his eyes, and it took him a long time to completely calm down.

A nightmare... a nightmare indeed!
Just now, he dreamed that Huang Yueying appeared in front of him covered in blood, and stretched out her hand to call out to him.However, even though she was close at hand, she couldn't hear what Huang Yueying was saying.Just as he rushed over, a wall of fire suddenly rose between the two of them...

This dream is really too weird!
Strangely, when Cao Peng recalled it, he still felt like he was dripping with cold sweat.

What is going on?So good, such a dream was born?Cao Peng sat down on the handsome chair and couldn't recall it for a long time.

"Come on!"

"Here!"

A dental soldier ran in and bowed.

"Jingyang, what news is there?"

"no!"

Ya Bing replied: "Before nightfall, General Yuande sent a letter saying that he was about to arrive at Jiyang.

So far, no news has come... But according to the itinerary, General Yuande and the others must have arrived in Jiyang County. "

"Hmm..." Cao Peng closed his eyes, and asked suddenly after a long while, "Is there any news from Wuyin?"

"No."

"Let's go down."

After the tooth soldiers withdrew from the army tent, Cao Peng had completely calmed down.

The so-called thinking by day and dreaming at night is generally the case.Although he denied Deng Ai's conjecture, in his heart, after all, he had some concerns about Liu Bei.Although he still doesn't know why Liu Bei suddenly used troops like crazy, but he must have his purpose.

Guan Xing was shot and killed by Fu Yan, but no one knew about it.

After all, this Second Brother Guan's second son doesn't know too many people.Fu Xun only vaguely guessed that the person Fu Yan shot and killed must be an important person, but he didn't expect that the young general was actually Guan Yu's son.If he knew that the person who was killed was Guan Yu's second son, then Cao Peng must have other ideas.However, so far, including Deng Zhi, they have not figured out the identity of the young general who was shot... It is for this reason that Cao Peng feels a little baffled.

It stands to reason that Liu Bei shouldn't use troops at this time!

Judging from his previous formations, Liu Bei is more concerned with gaining a firm foothold in Wancheng and stabilizing the situation in Nanyang County...

Could it be that this guy is not afraid of being reprimanded by Liu Biao?
Cao Peng patted his forehead, stood up, and wandered in the military tent.

Brother Kuai Yue has already leaned towards himself.But this does not mean that Liu Biao really dare not use troops.

As the prince who dominated Jingxiang in the early years, Liu Biao naturally had his ambitions.It's just that his pattern is doomed, he can't devour the world.However, being able to become a vassal in such a chaotic age also shows that Liu Biao is an extraordinary person.

It is said that Liu Biao's health improved greatly after spring.

Could it be that this guy has other ideas?

What Cao Peng is most worried about now is Liu Biao's abnormal behavior.This guy has owned the nine counties of Jingxiang for more than ten years, with deep roots and strong influence.If Liu Biao jumped out to make trouble at this time, it would definitely have a huge impact on the battle situation in Liaodong, and even make Cao Cao fall short.

But the question is, does Liu Jingsheng have the courage?
If it were another person, such as Sun Quan, such as Liu Bei, Cao Peng would definitely take precautions.

But for now, Sun Quan has not done much.This is mainly because Cao Cao established the three counties of Huainan last year to curb Sun Quan's expansion.It is said that Gan Ning, Tai Shici and others have clashed many times, both sides have their own winners and losers, and they are currently in a stalemate.

Sun Quan did not move, but Liu Bei was unable to act.

In other words, Liu Biao was bewitched, and that's why he took this action?

Cao Peng thought for a while and sat down after returning to Shuai's case.

He casually picked up a memorial, opened it and looked at it twice.

This memorial comes from Deng Zhi's report.In the memorial, Deng Zhi explained the current situation of Jiyang in detail, and talked about Liu Bei's mobilization of troops.

In this memorial, Deng Zhi said: Liu Bei continued to send more troops to Jiyang.

The Liu Beijun camp at the South Judu Ferry, there will be soldiers and horses stationed every day... According to the observation of the scouts, the South Juju camp is constantly expanding, and soldiers and horses can be seen entering every day and day.According to Deng Zhi's rough estimate, since Guan Ping set up camp in Nanjiu, the Nanjiu camp has increased by at least [-] people... So many soldiers and horses stationed in Nanjiu camp really put pressure on Jiyang .

Slow!

Cao Peng narrowed his eyes suddenly.

More than [-] people?

How many troops does Liu Bei have in total?

It is estimated that it is only [-] to [-]... Now, Liu Bei has at least [-] people stationed in Bowang and Xi'e counties.That is to say, Liu Bei almost invested all his troops in Jiyang?This is impossible!In this way, isn't Wancheng empty?

With Liu Bei's temperament, it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing.

If Liu Biao also participated in it, then Liu Bei would not need to invest all the troops; if Liu Biao did not participate, Liu Bei would not dare to invest so many troops.Deng Zhi said that Nanjiuju is constantly increasing its troops.If it wasn't for Liu Bei who really gave everything he had, then Deng Zhi must have been fooled.

Cao Peng vaguely remembered that when He Jin recruited Dong Zhuo to Beijing, He Jin was murdered by the ten servants before Dong Zhuo arrived...

After Dong Zhuo led the vanguard to Luoyang, his strength was not considered tyrannical.In order to deceive others, Dong Zhuo ordered his troops to go out of the city at night and enter the city during the day, giving the feudal lords the illusion of a constant increase in troops, and took the opportunity to annex He Jin's troops, and only then did he act in disorder.

Could it be that Liu Bei is now imitating Dong Zhuo?

The more Cao Peng thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

But the question is, what is the purpose of Liu Bei's illusion?
He definitely would not create such a false appearance just for the purpose of attacking Jiyang... He gathered a large camp in the south, and made the move of using all his forces, it must be to cover up something.But what exactly is it hiding?Cao Peng still couldn't figure it out, and couldn't help feeling panic in his heart.

"Come on!"

Following Cao Peng's order, the tooth soldiers made money again.

"Go to the map immediately."

"Here!"

The tooth soldier hurriedly left the army tent without saying a word.

After a while, a map of Nanyang was hung in the center of the military tent.

Cao Peng walked up to the map and checked it carefully. He didn't use a charcoal pencil to draw a path on the map.Gradually, a solemn look appeared on his face.Liu Bei didn't want to fight Jiyang, his real intention was probably to start a full-scale war with himself.In other words, Liu Bei's move to gather in the south is just a trick of suspicion, and his real intention is to...

Cao Peng used charcoal to draw a circle at the location of Wuyin County.

Clenching his hand into a fist, he slammed it hard on the desk. He gritted his teeth and said, "Come here, give me an order to gather troops and horses, and prepare to move out."

It must be so!

Liu Bei uses Jiyang as a cover to attack Wuyin.

No, Wuyin County is now empty of troops, isn't it dangerous?
Cao Peng seemed to understand the meaning of the dream, and immediately made a decision to lead his troops back to aid Wuyin County.But just as he was about to take down the map and put on the armor, he stopped suddenly.He suddenly stood in front of the map, examined it carefully for a while, his heart skipped a beat, and his face suddenly turned pale.Liu Bei is planning to suspect soldiers in Jiyang just to sneak attack Wuyin County?

wrong!

Liu Xuande's plot never stops there.

Guan Ping gathered in the camp in the south, which was tantamount to opening the door to the east bank of Jishui for Liu Bei.

The mobilization of Liu Bei's troops will never be just to cover for Wuyin, otherwise he would not need to mobilize such troublesome troops...

Most likely, Liu Bei has other plans.

After Nanjiuju Ferry was captured, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses could drive straight into Yangjun in the southeast.

If I return to Wuyin at this time...

Cao Peng drew a circle on Bishuitan with charcoal.Maybe, Liu Bei has quietly sneaked into Southeast Yang County, hiding in Bishui Beach, waiting for his return.

clever!

Cao Peng couldn't help sighing secretly, Liu Bei's brilliant means.

As expected of being Cao Cao's number one enemy, there is a plan in this plan, one link after another.As long as I am a little negligent, I may fall into Liu Bei's trap.What a brilliant strategy!I just don't know, is this chain plan from Liu Bei's handwriting, or Zhuge Liang's design?
Thinking of this, a cold look flashed in Cao Peng's eyes.

"My lord, why did you suddenly mobilize troops and horses?"

Just as Cao Peng was thinking, Lu Hao broke into the big tent out of breath.

"Zizhang, you came just in time."

Seeing Lu Mao coming in, Cao Peng's eyes suddenly lit up, "I have something to do, and I need your cooperation to do it all. I beg Zizhang not to refuse."

When Lu Mao heard this, he couldn't help being startled, and blurted out: "My lord, what do you need Mao's help for?"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++
Its daybreak!

Under Wuyin City, there are many banners and flags, covering the sky and the sun.

Yang Qin led Cai Di and Deng Ai, standing at the head of Wuyin City and looking into the distance.I saw a dense army of soldiers standing in line behind the city.

Can't help but take a breath.

Yang Qin turned around and said softly to Lu Yu and Pu Yangyi who came to watch the battle, "It looks like Liu Xuande is going to fight us to the death."

Pu Yangyi's complexion was as usual, while Lu Yu still looked calm and relaxed.

After the two looked at each other, they smiled slightly and said: "Although Liu Xuande is powerful, it is not easy to attack Wuyin.

Zilu, Wuyin City Gate will be handed over to you.The two of us will try our best to stabilize the emotions of the people in the city... Today is the time for our generation to establish our achievements. "

"So, for the affairs of the city, please leave it to the two of you."

Yang Qin and Lu Yu and Pu Yangyi cupped their hands together, and then asked in a deep voice: "The eight-ox crossbow, can it be placed properly?"

"Don't worry, Juncheng, thirty eight-ox crossbows have been installed in Wuyin City, and they are at the command of the Juncheng."

"So...Xiao Ai and Xiao Di, you two will be in charge of the eight-ox crossbow. As soon as I give the order, you two will be ready to launch."

"Here!"

Deng Ai and Cai Di were overjoyed when they heard this.

Beside the two of them, each led two secret soldiers, and brought the crossbowmen from Xingyang, and took their positions one after another.

Deng Ai held a gavel in his hand, and felt his heart pounding.Seeing the densely packed enemy army below the city, he was both nervous and excited!
