Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 298
"He was released? What did Ling Jun say?" After Xu Chang, Dongmen, and Cao Peng left the South Gate, they went to find Xun Yu, and soon came to Xu Ding with a gloomy face, and told the story. , Xu Ding was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked Cao Peng with a frown.

"How else can I say it? The overall situation is the most important thing. After all, Dong Cheng is the son of the emperor. Now Xuchang is in dire straits and needs everyone's efforts. If there is internal disagreement at this time, the fall of Xuchang is likely to be accelerated." Cao Peng sighed and said: "I I don’t understand, are you trying to wrong us and let Dong Cheng take care of the overall situation!?”

Xu Ding also looked irritable when he heard the words. Sometimes he was confused about the communication between these literati, just like the phrase "Take care of the overall situation, I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't say it."

Just as they were about to say something, they suddenly heard a report from the soldiers that there were bandits outside the city. The two of them didn't care about talking about it anymore, they got up and looked outside the city, and saw a small group of people galloping towards this side.

There were only dozens of people, so it was impossible for them to attack the city.

Xu Ding and Cao Peng came to the side of the female wall and watched the troops go straight to the gate of the city.

"It's him?" Xu Ding and Cao Peng's expressions darkened after seeing the person who came. Naturally, the two failed to suppress Wei Yan on the battlefield before, but Wei Yan beheaded Cao Cao later. At that time, the two had already retreated, but they didn't see it with their own eyes. They saw that it was Lu Bu holding Cao Cao's head. Otherwise, after seeing that it was Wei Yan at this moment, the two would have already figured out how to kill him.

"Fire the arrows!" Xu Ding gave an order without any unnecessary nonsense, and directly ordered people to shoot arrows at Wei Yan.

"Yu, Iron Wall!" Sensing the situation, Wei Yan quickly reined in his horse, pushed forward the long knife in his hand, blocked the air shield in front of them, and bounced off the sharp arrows that were shot. With a sharp arrow, he took out the imperial edict from his bosom and wrapped the imperial edict on an arrow, then bent his bow and set up an arrow, and shot it towards the city.

"Boom~" Xu Ding flipped his hand and easily caught the arrow cluster weakened by the battle formation, but Wei Yan's voice came from his ear.

"Tell General Cheqi that he should bring 8000 people into the city instead of [-] people, and he should bring [-] people into the city instead of two hundred. This must be clearly stated in the edict!" Turning around and walking away, he quickly disappeared from sight.

The two of them couldn't attack him for a while, and let him leave.

"What eight thousand?" Cao Peng frowned and looked at the arrow in Xu Ding's hand. Xu Ding was also a little puzzled. Two hundred guards, not eight thousand as said.

From this point of view, it can be seen as an attempt to lure Lu Bu into the city and kill him, but Wei Yan just said eight thousand, and it seems that Dong Cheng also agreed, but he didn't bring back the edict.

Let Lu Bu bring 8000 people into the city?How is this different from leading a wolf into a house?

And if Lu Bu enters the city, will they, Cao Cao's old troops, still have a way out?

"I'm going to find Lord Xun Ling!" Xu Ding picked up the edict and went to find Xun Yu. This matter could not be delayed any longer, but Cao Peng stopped him when he was about to leave.

"Don't go!" Cao Peng grabbed Xu Ding, and said with a gloomy expression, "What's the use of looking for him? Mostly, the overall situation is the most important thing. I understand that, for him, whether Lu Bu can get in or not It doesn't matter who the city is, it doesn't matter who is in charge of Xuchang City, no matter who comes, Xun Yu will be fine, and we will be the ones who have trouble!"

"You mean..." Xu Ding looked at Cao Peng uncertainly. Although this statement sounds extreme, it is not unreasonable when you think about it carefully.

"Leaving Dong Cheng alive is a disaster after all, it's better to behead him first before talking about anything else!" Cao Peng's eyes flashed fiercely: "Since His Majesty has issued such an edict, I am afraid that he will abandon us and welcome Lu Bu into the court. But Bokang, think about it, if Lu Bu is really allowed to enter the court, who can he take care of? At least it is the position of the three princes. In this Xuchang city, there are still places for the former lords such as me? I am afraid the next step , is to eliminate us!"

Xu Ding fell silent when he heard the words. Thinking about it carefully, this is not impossible. If Lu Bu is really in charge of Xuchang, will they really have a way out for Cao Cao's old troops?

"Should we do it?" Seeing Xu Ding's silence, Cao Peng couldn't wait for that long, and asked in a deep voice looking at him.

"According to the general's plan!" Xu Ding nodded, then frowned and said, "But according to Wei Yan's words, he should be chasing Dong Cheng, why didn't you see Dong Cheng coming in from here?"

"Who knows, first let someone find out Dong Cheng's whereabouts. It's not appropriate for too many people to know about this matter. It's just you and me. If there are too many people, it will be easy to leak secrets and bad things. Kill Dong thief first, and then tell others. Yes." Cao Peng didn't pay much attention to this, now he only thinks about how to get rid of Dong Cheng, other things are trivial, and Wei Yan is also needed.

"Okay!" Xu Ding immediately agreed.

The two reckless men didn't think too much about the problem, and they didn't have a detailed plan. After finding out that Dong Cheng had gone to the palace, they came out and went straight to the south gate. Then the troops were divided into two groups, one went over the city wall and went directly to Wang Zhong to seize power, and the other route led troops to lie outside the urn city, preparing to block Dong Cheng in the urn city.

Wang Zhong was guarding the south gate, thinking about how to plan his future. Dong Cheng always felt that it was not reliable here, and he still had to find a big backer. He just looked at the court, which seemed to be peaceful, but in fact he had already followed After Cao Cao's death, there was chaos and dissatisfaction with each other. There was no one who could really do things to suppress the situation. Wang Zhong really couldn't tell who could be the backer for a while.

Just as he was thinking, he saw Cao Peng coming with men and horses in a menacing manner.

Wang Zhong was a pavilion chief in his early years. He was a general who climbed up from the bottom all the way. His best skill was not commanding troops to fight, but observing his words. The soldiers and horses put themselves on guard, watched Cao Peng approaching, and shouted: "General Cao, what does this mean?"

"Wang Zhong!" Cao Peng held the handle of the shovel, looked at Wang Zhong with murderous intent, and said, "You are also the old servant of the lord, and now the traitor Dong Cheng wants to offer Xuchang to Lv Bu as a means of getting promoted. Today I want to Eliminate thieves for the country, think of the friendship between you and me in the past, as long as you don't hinder me from eliminating thieves for the country, I can let you go, otherwise don't blame me for not remembering the old relationship!"

Looking at Cao Peng's murderous eyes, Wang Zhong knew that the other party was serious. As long as he refused, the other party was very likely to attack directly.

In a real fight, Wang Zhong doesn't think he can defeat Cao Peng. Although Cao Peng is not good at leading troops, places like city walls are not suitable for large battle formations. Personal bravery is the most dominant place here. In the future, I may suffer or even be killed!

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhong had already made a decision, so he stood up straight and said in a deep voice, "Is this true?"

"This is the imperial edict that Thief Dong asked for Lu Bu. He wants Lu Bu to bring 8000 people into the city!" Cao Peng directly threw the edict to Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong returned the edict with just a glance, waved his hand sideways, motioned the soldiers under the tent to step aside, and said solemnly: "In this case, the last general should sever ties with him. If the general wants to kill him, he will be the last general!"

"Okay!" Cao Peng was overjoyed when he heard the words, nodded and said, "I think Dong Cheng is about to come over, the general can just watch here, don't open the city gate for him, I will go down to the city and kill the thief myself."

Yesterday, when Dong Cheng led people to search Cao's mansion, Cao Peng wanted to cut him down, but at that time there was no real harm, and Xun Yu came forward and finally gave up. Today, new and old grievances broke out together. Dong Cheng As long as he steps into this south gate urn today, he will die!
On the other hand, Dong Cheng took the emperor's new edict, and this time Lu Bu entered the city with confidence. Although he still took some risks, as long as he succeeded, after today, he would be the most powerful person in the Han Dynasty.

As for whether Lu Bu would threaten him, didn't Lu Bu listen to Wang Yun after killing Dong Zhuo?
As long as you don't be as stupid as Wang Yun.

Seeing the gate of the Wengcheng opened wide, an unspeakable sense of discomfort rose in my heart for no reason, but this feeling of discomfort was quickly dispelled by the excitement of the imminent success.

Urging everyone to rush all the way into the Wengcheng, he shouted to the tower: "General Wang Zhong, I am ordered to go to Lu Bu's camp as an envoy, and quickly open the city!"

On the tower, Wang Zhong picked out his ears, only feeling a little want to laugh.

What is Dong Cheng thinking?Even though he didn't have much military power in his hands, he dared to be so arrogant with Cao Cao's old subordinates. Cao Peng, the Cao clan, even provoked him directly. Is it true that Xu Chang changed his surname back to Liu when Cao Cao died?
There was no movement for a while, Dong Cheng frowned slightly, knowing something was wrong, he turned around and wanted to withdraw from the urn city.

But immediately after, they saw the gate of Wengcheng, Cao Peng and Xu Ding rushed in with their troops.

Seeing this, Dong Cheng's expression changed, and he yelled at the city tower: "Wang Zhong, where is Wang Zhong!? Open the city gate quickly!"

"Forgive me, General!" Wang Zhong lay lazily on the female wall and looked at Dong Cheng: "I really never thought that you would dedicate Xuchang to Lv Bu. Cao Gongying's soul has not gone away, but you are so urgent. If you want to dedicate your whole life to the enemy, the general will be ashamed to be with the general, and the general should apologise by dying!"

Dong Cheng's complexion changed drastically when he heard the words. In this urn city, there is only one gate in the urn city, and the only other exit is the main gate at the city wall. Wang Zhong refused to open the door. At this moment, he has no escape route and can only turn his head to meet Cao Peng. Looking at the murderous Cao Peng, Dong Cheng's heart trembled, and he quickly mobilized the power of the army to spread his voice, hoping that Xun Yu and the others in the city could stop it in time when they heard it!
"I am General Chariot and Cavalry, Cao Peng, what do you want to do!?" He raised his voice to the loudest with the help of the army formed by several people, hoping to draw the attention of the city and save his life.

"Dog thief, first ransacked the lord's mansion, and then wanted to collude with Lu Bu, if I don't kill you today, how can I be worthy of the lord's spirit in the sky!" Cao Peng didn't give him this chance, and while speaking, he flew past with a shovel.

Dong Cheng was also a general who fought with Dong Zhuo in his early years, but since he entered Xuchang, he mostly played tricks, and most of his martial arts were wasted. Seeing Cao Peng shoveling at him now, he just instinctively raised his sword to defend.

"Boom~" Jin Bian shoveled the sword flying, and then under Dong Cheng's frightened eyes, he shoveled off his head with his backhand...
