night.
South of the city.
The city gate suddenly opened, Zhang Liao led his troops out of the city, lowered the drawbridge, and rushed towards Liu Bei who was stationed outside the south gate.
"No, Lu Bu is going to fight out of the city!"
The soldier in charge of the vigil shouted nervously, and then the war drums were beaten, and the sound of the drums echoed loudly.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rushed out of the military camp first.
"Don't let those three slaves leave and block the suspension bridge!"
Zhang Fei first shouted angrily, and his voice was like thunder, spreading throughout the entire army, and then he strode towards the only suspension bridge in the moat.
Hundreds of soldiers immediately followed him.
Zhang Liao led the soldiers who attacked the suspension bridge, but they were quickly blocked by Zhang Fei. The two sides fought fiercely. Not long after, Guan Yu also came to kill.
While Chen Dao had people continue to beat the war drums to alert Cao Cao's men, he also paid attention to the possibility that the enemy might cross the moat by boat.
Liu Bei was asleep, but was awakened by the war drums. He quickly walked out of the camp to take a look and shouted: "Everyone, get up, don't let Lu Bu get out!"
In his camp, thousands of soldiers moved quickly.
Torches were lit inside and outside the camp, and the flames gathered on the bank of the moat, blocking Zhang Liao who was about to cross the river.
"Lord, that's Lu Bu!"
At this time, Sun Qian pointed to the gate in the south of the city.
Sure enough, one can see, under the city gate, a fiery red horse, faintly appearing in the firelight, and a tall man sitting on the horse.
There seemed to be someone carrying someone on his back.
According to the news brought by Zhang Hong, Liu Bei also knew that Lu Bu was planning to marry his daughter to Huainan, and Lu Bu personally escorted his daughter away.
"Yun Chang, Yide!"
"Lu Bu is out of the city. You will pester him later and capture him!"
Liu Bei walked to the army and shouted loudly.
When Guan and Zhang heard this, they looked up and saw a figure similar to Lu Bu's, appearing on the edge of the suspension bridge of the moat, ready to rush out.
"Brother, don't worry, as long as I'm here, Lu Bu is dead!"
Zhang Fei roared angrily.
Although Cao Cao and the others decided to ignore Liu Bei, they really didn't care about anything, and something was wrong. Several people from Cao's army sentry posts who were also stationed in the south of the city joined Liu Bei's army at this time.
The archer drew his bow and shot towards Zhang Liao.
The spearmen stood on the edge of the suspension bridge, raised their spears, and stabbed Zhang Liao and other soldiers who were preparing to break out. The fighting was not particularly fierce, but the sounds of killing were endless.
Zhang Liao knew the true and false plans, and the false and true plans. Even if he was facing the weakest Liu Bei, he would not attack too hard. He would just bluff and create a feeling.
There is momentum now.
The sound of war drums in the south of the city rang throughout the silent night.
The light of each torch, like starlight, moved, flickered, and swayed under the night.
When Cao Cao and the others heard the noise, they stopped resting and led people to the south of the city and looked in the direction of the city gate.
"No, the situation is not right."
Guo Jia said: "Is that person Lu Bu?"
"It looks a bit like Lu Bu!"
Chen Zhou also saw the red horse, which seemed to be a red rabbit horse.
How could Lu Bu appear in the south of the city?
The current situation was different from what they had analyzed. There was no movement at the other city gates, but Lu Bu had already appeared in the south of the city.
It was beyond their expectation.
"Whatever we can think of, Chen Gongtai can also think of."
Cao Cao and Chen Gong knew each other well and knew very well how capable Chen Gong was. He admired him and said, "He must have predicted our predictions."
Guo Jia raised his head and continued to look at the gate in the south of the city, saying: "If our prediction is correct, then there will definitely be movement in more than one place in the south of the city tonight."
"That's right!"
Cao Cao said.
However, as soon as these words were spoken, a louder sound of war drums came from other directions.
The sound of drums was extremely shocking in the dark night.
"Go and check quickly, I want to know what happened as soon as possible!"
Cao Cao said loudly.
Several fast horses immediately walked out of the military camp and ran east, west, and north of the city.
Not long after, the person who went to investigate came back.
"Back to my lord, the gates to the east, west and north of the city are all open. Someone wants to break out."
"The most important thing is that there is a Lu Bu outside every city gate."
"Four Lu Bu appeared outside the four city gates."
The investigator said eagerly.
"What?"
Cao Cao and Guo Jia were both surprised.
Chen Gong's plan was beyond their expectations. Lu Bu appeared at the city gates on all four sides. It was true or false that they could not imagine where Lu Bu would come from.
Coupled with the dark sky and limited light from the torch, it is difficult to judge which Lu Bu is the real one.
"My lord and Fengxiao, there is no need to be surprised."
Chen Zhou said calmly: "If I am not wrong, none of those four Lu Bu are Lu Bu. We did underestimate Chen Gong. With Chen Gong's caution, it is impossible for Lu Bu to show up so quickly."
Guo Jia quickly came to his senses and had to admit that everyone had underestimated Chen Gong, and then laughed and said: "No matter how confusing Chen Gong is, as long as Lu Bu fights out of the city, there will be no way to escape the transition arrangement. "
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and soon burst into laughter: "We were frightened by Chen Gong and forgot about the arrangements for the crossing. Couldn't we deliberately relax the defense of the city gate and let Lu Bu find an opportunity to leave the city?"
"You can do this."
Chen Zhou agreed: "I will make arrangements with Lao Dian right away. My lord will lend me the Huben Army and Xu Zhongkang. I will delay Lu Bu for about half an hour before letting him out of the city."
"good!"
Cao Cao gave Chen Zhou a token and asked him to mobilize his troops at will and take away the Huben army.
Chen Zhou found Dian Wei and rushed south.
Outside the city gates on all sides, the fighting and fighting continued.
Seeing a Lu Bu appearing near the city gate, everyone became frightened.
Liu Bei had to face Zhang Liao's attack and soon became a little powerless.
"Why hasn't Cao Sikong's army come over to intercept them? We can take this opportunity to cross the moat and possibly enter the city."
Liu Bei was still unaware of the movements at other city gates and was focused on killing Lu Bu, so he grabbed an officer from Cao's camp and asked.
The officer said: "Now, a Lu Bu has appeared outside the city gates on all four sides. My lord cannot deal with it!"
"What?"
Liu Bei was also shocked and slightly stunned by the news.
Lu Bu can still do so many tricks when he marries a daughter?
Which Lu Bu is the real Lu Bu?
Cao Cao and the others were counting the time.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and it was now the second half of the night.
"Order everyone to deliberately relax their defenses and look tired."
Cao Cao gave the order to the messenger.
It is not very difficult to suddenly get up to fight in the middle of the night. It is not very difficult to show that you are tired without being found to be wrong. It doesn't matter even if Chen Gong notices something.
As long as Lu Bu can rush out of the city.
The main reason is that it is impossible to determine at which city gate Lu Bu will leave the city. Otherwise, there is no need to go to such trouble and just place heavy troops outside the city gate.
After the order was passed down, all the soldiers in Cao's camp quickly became exhausted.
Only Liu Bei was still fighting against Zhang Liao desperately, trying to cross the suspension bridge and enter the city gate.
