The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 445 The Battle Stalemate
Facing a person who controls a huge intelligence organization like himself, but is not in charge of his own affairs, Dongfang Sheng finds it very difficult.

Zhong Yao can control such a terrifying force under Cao Cao's command without arousing Cao Cao's suspicion. This ability alone is enough to make people admire.

Dongfang Sheng felt that Zhong Yao should get the news of Xiahou Dun's defeat through some method, there is no doubt about it.

There might be an intelligence battle coming up, Dongfang Sheng wandered around in the tent but couldn't think of a feasible solution, so he had to go out to relax.

As soon as we left the camp, there was a freshness after the rain outside.

Dongfang Sheng took a deep breath and looked at the busy soldiers in the camp with emotion. People in troubled times are not as good as Taiping dogs. Bearing the harm brought by war, life is worthless like mustard, and some places even have tragic scenes of thousands of miles of people. This is the pain of troubled times.

Of course, you may not be able to live a heavenly life in a peaceful and prosperous age, but there are no frequent wars, at least you will not live a life of constant anxiety.

After sighing with emotion, Dongfang Sheng heard a noise coming from the camp, and Tuobahan turned around a soldier in Wei army uniform.

"Your Majesty, this is the spy I found outside. He was sneaking in and wanted to sneak in, but I just caught him." Tuobahan let go of the rope, and the Wei soldier immediately fell to the ground.

In order to prevent him from committing suicide, Tuobahan directly tied the poor Wei Jun scout into twists, and at the same time stuffed a cloth strip in his mouth, this was to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.

Dongfang Sheng squatted down with a smile and said, "Tell me everything you know, so that I can save some effort."

Woo!Woo!
This Wei Jun scout directly headbutted Dongfang Sheng, but Tuobahan would let him succeed. When the rope in his hand was tightened, this guy fell straight to the ground like a fish caught by a hook.

"Hey, you can handle Tuoba's matter, and tell me after you ask." Dongfang Sheng waved his hand, and Tuobahan dragged the rope with a grinning grin and took the Wei army scout aside.

The screams came intermittently, and this situation lasted for about half an hour.

After Dongfang Sheng finished his spear practice, Tuobahan washed his hands and came back to report: "He said that Zhong Yao already knew about Xiahou Dun's defeat, and Zhong Yao sent him here to spy on our situation before making a decision."

"Well, as I guessed, Zhong Yao really has a way to know Xiahou Dun's situation." Dongfang Sheng frowned, "It seems that it is not an easy task to deal with him."

"You haven't killed this scout yet, have you?" Dongfang Sheng asked.

"No, it's just a little injury, His Majesty still wants to interrogate him?" Tuobahan asked suspiciously.

Dongfang Sheng let out a breath and said, "Close it first, and we'll see the situation later."

It is true that the person who knows you best is your enemy, but it is difficult for ordinary people to do so.

Only those who specialize in the intelligence industry will do this. They will judge a person's weaknesses based on his basic necessities of life and various external words and deeds, so as to design tactics against this person.

The reason why Dongfang Sheng was able to save himself from danger many times was due to intelligence.

An effective intelligence is worth a strong army.

The biggest advantage of Zhong Yao is his stability, he doesn't do things he is not sure about.

So after his scout disappeared, Zhong Yao didn't think about attacking Dongfang Sheng again, but set up camp in the same place, and he made very thoughtful and strict defense measures around the camp.

For Dongfang Sheng, this is not good news. Although the lonely Dongfang Sheng obtained a batch of food and grass from Xiahoudun, it is self-evident who has the advantage in fighting in the territory of Cao Wei. There will be many extraneous things.

For this reason, Dongfang Sheng did not hesitate to attack Zhong Yao's camp.

The two sides launched an offensive and defensive battle.

Although Dongfang Sheng's offensive was fierce, Zhong Yao's preparations were sufficient. Although he was the leader of the airborne, the generals of the Wei army did not dare to follow suit due to Zhong Yao's identity and status. There were no internal problems, and the defense was tight. , Dongfang Sheng also felt depressed for a moment, unable to bite the hedgehog.

Dongfang Sheng suspended the offensive, because if the attack continued for a long time, not only would it lose troops, but the key point was that it would not have much effect, which would be an extremely serious blow to morale.

At the same time, Dongfang Sheng was also waiting for another event to happen, so he temporarily withdrew his troops and stopped fighting.

In Xudu, the impact of the war on the city has not been seen on the streets, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as peace by singing and dancing.

In the palace, Cao Pi was sitting on the table looking at the recent battle reports. After opening the battle reports and looking at them for a few times, Cao Pi frowned.

"Xiahou Dun! Xiahou Dun!"

Cao Pi muttered a few words, threw the battle report on the table impatiently, then stood up and walked outside with his hands behind his back. Cao Pi's face was gloomy along the way, and Xiao Huangmen on the side didn't dare to step forward to ask questions.

A gust of wind blew, and the battle report on the table was blown open, revealing the contents inside. There was a line of words on it, "Dongfang Sheng had a secret talk with Xiahou Dun for an hour, and then left the camp." '.

Who is Zhong Yao?He is the first officer after Cao Cao ordered the establishment of the intelligence agency Sili Xiaowei. It is not surprising that he has secret talks with Xiahou Dun. When Cao Cao was in the past, because of Xiahou Dun's favor, this spy has been idle, but now The replacement, although Cao Pi is Cao Cao's son, is different from Cao Cao after all, so the spies are also reactivated, especially after Yu Jin's rebellion, Cao Pi is even more wary of the old ministers left by Cao Cao.

Since ancient times, there have been many cases of foreign relatives seizing power. The reason is that foreign relatives not only have close kinship with the emperor, but also can grasp the emperor's whereabouts. It is an eternal truth.

Cao Pi's black dragon robe was blown by the wind to reveal the red shirt inside. Cao Pi sighed for no reason: "You all forced me. If this is the case, then I have no choice but to..."

"Come here!" Cao Pi shouted loudly, and immediately Xiao Huangmen came up anxiously to wait for orders.

Cao Pi didn't take his anger out on Xiao Huangmen either, he just sent him away after a few orders.

When night fell, a group of cavalry galloped out from the gate of Xudu, galloped on the official road outside, and disappeared on the official road after a while.
