Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 501 Chen Gong's Clumsy Plan?
"Ming Gong, General Xiahou is already sitting on pins and needles, and our army's overall deployment is on the line. Why don't we immediately save the situation at this time?" Cheng Yu stroked his mustache, looking very complacent.Holding the Guo Jia secret letter handed over from Cao Cao in his hand, he already understood the mainstream under the turbulent undercurrent.

"There is still an unresolved matter about Chen Gongtai." Cao Cao still rested his chin on the desk. Such a movement covered up his lack of height, but made his bright and energetic eyes even more mysterious.Facing Cheng Yu's question, he simply replied this sentence.

"Chen Gongtai is no different from Bian Rang. The only difference is that he has more courage and foresight than Bian Rang, but when it comes to military strategy, hum!..." Cheng Yu sneered extremely contemptuously, and then stood up. Standing up, he said arrogantly: "He really thinks that a mere trick of leading an army into the urn can make us fall into the sand?"

It's not without reason that Cheng Yu belittled Chen Gong like this.Although Chen Gong did a good job in Taishan County, he managed to get Zang Ba to join the Han Dynasty.But he was wrong, thinking that Cao Jun still knew nothing about this matter, and instead came up with a bad strategy, which made Cao Jun laugh.

This incident happened three days ago, when someone in Taishan County suddenly sent a letter to Cao Cao.The person who wrote the letter claimed to be Xu Xi's boy guest, and the content of the letter, apart from some unnecessary remorse and nonsense, was a suggestion to help Cao Cao break through Mount Tai.

This Xu Xi is no stranger to Cao Cao. As early as when Cao Cao entered Yanzhou to pacify the Yellow Turban, Xu Xi, who was the confidant of Liu Dai, the former governor of Yanzhou, was very shameless to Cao Cao.Even when Cao Cao led troops into Shouzhang, Xu Xi, the former governor of Dongping, dared not come to support him, clearly refusing to recognize Cao Cao as the usurper.

Later, Lu Bu launched a rebellion in Yanzhou, and Xu Xi was the first to betray Cao Cao.When Cao Cao was relieved at this time, Xu Xi was afraid that Cao Cao would kill him, so he fled to Taishan County and took refuge in Zang Ba.When the soldiers besieged Taishan City, Cao Cao even asked Zang Ba for a dignitary, but Zang Ba refused to hand it over...

These iron-like incidents show that Xu Xi and Cao Cao's group can't urinate in the same pot at all.But now Xu Xi suddenly changed his tune and Zhang said that he wanted to return to Cao Ying, and he would also sacrifice Taishan County as a gift of repentance.With such a rough and crude plan, Cheng Yu could hardly imagine that it was Chen Gong who came up with it.

Could it be that Chen Gong really thought that Cao Jun was so stupid that his team of envoys entered the city without any news, and then he could easily believe Xu Xi, who was full of doubts?

Is he too smart, or too naive?

However, even though Chen Gong's strategy here was too clumsy, Cheng Yu still didn't dare to veto Cao Cao.After all, Taishan County is the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle in the eastern part of Yanzhou. If it cannot be solved perfectly, it may affect the overall situation. In any case, Cao Cao has too many plans and involves too much in this grand plan. Any flaw, the consequences may be fatal.

"Since Chen Gongtai is so self-serving, why don't I follow this plan and take advantage of the situation to solve the Taishan County? Wouldn't that be wonderful?" Cheng Yu took two steps, and then said this plan: "Zang Ba has only 5000 troops in his hands. No matter how clever his strategy is, he still can't make any waves with only a small city of Mount Tai."

Cao Cao nodded when he heard the words, stood up and said, "Yes, in the face of absolute strength, any strategy is nothing but vain. Zhong De's intention is in my heart, and I have already sent back the reply to Xu Xi's letter. Order, At midnight tonight, the whole army will follow me to attack Mount Tai!"

At the same time, in Mount Tai City, Chen Gong asked Luo Lin softly, "Have all the spies of Cao Jun in the city been killed?"

Luo Lin shook his head shyly, and explained: "My lord, Taishan is Cao Cao's old land after all, and our infiltration before was not satisfactory. If I say that I have done everything in the city, my subordinates dare not say so. But if it is about the army Whether someone in the middle will leak the news, the subordinates dare to guarantee their lives, there is absolutely no possibility!"

"If that's the case, it's enough." After Chen Gongyou finished speaking, the expression on his face was very complicated.There is not only the pleasure of teasing Cao Cao in the palm of his hand, but also the lingering haze, especially when he looked at the already hard-to-return Taishan City, the loneliness became more obvious.

"I don't know whether this plan is right or wrong, whether I will give up my righteousness for the sake of the overall situation, or it will make the Han family lose their hearts..." After saying this, Chen Gong leisurely walked down the turret, his steps were extremely heavy.

Looking at Chen Gong's back, Luo Lin understood how much Chen Gong was burdening at the moment, and couldn't help but call out to Chen Gong, "My lord, I have something to say, and I don't know if I should say it or not."

Having said that, Luo Lin actually didn't wait for Chen Gong's reply, but after Chen Gong stopped for a while, he opened his mouth and said bluntly: "Your Majesty once said that it is not something that everyone can do In the Han Dynasty, there were a lot of fame seekers, but those who really did something for the common people are not as good as Jia Wenhe..."

After saying this, Luo Lin seemed to feel that he hadn't caught his eye. After thinking about it for a while, he blurted out: "Your Majesty also said that merits and demerits should not be considered by contemporary people. A man was born in troubled times, so he can do something. If you don’t do something, as long as you have a clear conscience, leave everything for future generations to comment on.”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Gong slowly turned around: "Your Majesty really said that?"

Luo Lin spoke up quickly, and said: "That's right. His Majesty tried his best to suppress the rich and noble families in Guanzhong, but at the same time he was careful to win them over. It is inevitable that he will not do things well. In the eyes of outsiders, he will eventually appear petty, which is unsatisfactory." Shame. Therefore, when the empress, who was still a nobleman at the time, asked about the emperor..."

As soon as he said this, Luo Lin knew that there was no need to say what he said.Of course Chen Gong understood that His Majesty had said this, the reason why he doubted it was because he was worried about why the Son of Heaven, a 15-year-old boy, would say such old-fashioned and vicissitudes of life.But now, pushing himself to judge others, Chen Gong finally realized that the emperor also had such confusion and sigh.

Therefore, Chen Gong smiled relievedly, and said deeply to Luo Lin: "I am grateful for what guard Luo said, Chen's block has disappeared."

But at this moment, Luo Lin, who was indifferent and ruthless, seemed to be a little shy: "All, His Majesty can see clearly, I'm just acting as a microphone."

Chen Gong smiled slightly, and said no more.As he walked down the turret step by step, the sunset in the sky gradually set down the hill, and the silent night came again silently.

By the middle of the night, in the lonely Taishan County, it was as quiet as a ghost.Thirty thousand Cao soldiers with titles and horses bound their hoofs sneaked out of the night without holding up torches. From a distance, they looked like a large gray shadow covering the sky. The dignified power seemed to be crushed The entire Taishan County.

Cao Cao was still wearing the same armor as ordinary generals, walking in the center of the army, waving his hands slightly in the silence.The [-] army immediately stopped in place like a machine whose pause button was pressed.Even the war horse, startled by such momentum, did not dare to make any snort.

Through the heavy night, Cao Cao saw that Taishan City was normal at night, but he was not in a hurry, just waiting silently in the night.

Suddenly, on the turret on the west side of Taishan City, a star of light lit up.The faint lights were hardly noticeable in the thick night.Even, for many soldiers with night blindness, it was as if the star lights never appeared.

But Cao Cao saw it.

He saw the starlight, flashing on and off three times in the dark night - it was the signal agreed between Cao Cao and Xu Xi.

So Cao Cao laughed.

He knew that there was no urn in Taishan City, the only thing he could do was to use some houses and traps to resist the troops entering the city, and then take the opportunity to surround and kill them.Cao Cao thought of all possibilities, including traps, bows and arrows, and most likely street fighting.

Undoubtedly, if this plan to lure the king into the urn is successful, Chen Gong will easily kill many Cao Jun, and even destroy the fear that Cao Jun finally suppressed with the siege of the city with a large army.

But all of this has a premise.

That is, the soldiers who rushed into Taishan County should not exceed [-].Moreover, Cao Jun didn't know that there was fraud in the city.

If Cao Jun knew this clearly, this strategy would be useless at all: with the size of Taishan City and all the sergeants of Zang Ba, at most [-] Cao Jun could be defeated.If there were any more, the city would be starved to death like a goldfish that is hungry.

So Cao Cao, who figured it out at this moment, didn't say anything, but suddenly swung his raised hand down!
