Chen Zhou saw Cao Cao and soon came to the sentry post in the west of the city.
He wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Hou Cheng and others to observe the situation in Surabaya. The current river water has not risen sharply enough, so there will be no immediate flooding.
Let the rain continue to wash away for a while.
There are times when Lu Bu is desperate.
Chen Zhou's letter was quickly delivered to Hou Cheng and others.
"Capture Chen Gong and steal Lu Bu's red rabbit horse?"
Hou Cheng felt very embarrassed when he saw Chen Zhou's arrangement.
"The only person around Lu Bu who can make suggestions is Chen Gong. If Chen Gong is gone, Lu Bu can't do anything. In addition... the red rabbit horse is the backbone of Lu Bu's strength. Without the red rabbit horse, Lu Bu loses half of his strength. "
Song Xian analyzed and said.
This analysis was recognized by Hou Cheng and Wei Xu.
Remove all the advantages around Lu Bu, and it will be easier to deal with Lu Bu.
"It's easy to capture Chen Gong, but the red rabbit horse is Lu Bu's mount. It only recognizes Lu Bu. If we take it away by force, it will definitely not obey. As long as it makes some noise, it will easily attract Lu Bu's attention."
Wei Xu said worriedly.
Hou Cheng said calmly: "It's easy to deal with a beast! I have a medicine. As long as the red rabbit takes it, it will ensure that he sleeps for a whole day and a night and will not wake up from thunder. Then he will be at our mercy? But Cao Sikong's The letter states that among the three of us, two will stay in Xiapi, and one of them will take Chen Gong, Chi Tuma, and our relatives to leave Xiapi."
Then the choice comes down to who can stay and who can do this task.
There is a certain degree of danger in doing this task.
"Let me do it!"
Hou Cheng said: "The whole thing started because of me, so it's most appropriate for me to come. After I capture all the people and move them out, you can follow the plan and go to Lu Bu to expose me. Without Chen Gong, Lu Bu is brave and foolhardy." , can I believe your words.”
"good!"
Wei Xu said: "Be careful in everything!"
After deciding on the candidates, they started making arrangements.
At the west gate of the city, Lu Bu arranged for them to be stationed here. It was really convenient for them to surrender and rebel. There were many things they could do here.
That night, Hou Cheng took action.
He first went to Lu Bu's stable, killed the soldiers guarding the stable, then poured out all the horse medicine, and braved the rain to have the red rabbit horse moved out of the city.
At the west gate of the city, they can come and go at will, and they can do whatever they want.
When the red rabbit horse was carried outside the city gate, no one was disturbed. Lu Bu didn't know what happened, and Chen Gong did the same. However, Hou Cheng's next plan was to find Chen Gong.
"gentlemen."
Hou Cheng took off his raincoat, walked in and said, "I came uninvited at night, sorry for disturbing you!"
Chen Gong looked at Hou Cheng for a while, then asked guessingly: "General Hou came to me because he was punished for drinking?"
"Exactly!"
Hou Cheng was looking for this reason, and he said sincerely: "We have been guarding the west of the city for a few days, and we already know that we were wrong and want to go back to the city. However, Wen Hou is so angry that we dare not go to him. Si Lai If you want to go, I’ll come to see you sir on behalf of the three of us and ask him to help me! What Marquis Wen listens to the most is your sir’s words.”
"You are drinking in violation of the ban, and you really shouldn't be."
"The wine we drink is all the wine we bought before, not newly brewed by wasting food."
Hou Cheng explained: "The main reason is that Marquis Wen drank it like this, so we thought we could drink it too, but we were confused for a while!"
Seeing him begging like this, Chen Gong remained silent for a while and said: "Marquis Wen's punishment is indeed a bit severe, okay! I will talk to Marquis Wen tomorrow and let you go back to the city."
"Thank you sir."
Hou Cheng stepped forward and was about to bow.
But the moment he bowed down, he stepped forward and slapped Chen Gong on the neck.
"you……"
Chen Gong saw it and was about to resist and shout when Hou Cheng had already succeeded.
Chen Gong was unable to defend against the sneak attack.
After knocking the person unconscious, the soldiers brought by Hou Cheng quickly broke in and killed the people in Chen Gong's family. Then they took Chen Gong with them, got on the carriage, and rushed to the west of the city, directly out of the city.
Many people in the city still have no idea what happened.
When we came to the city gate.
"Succeeded."
It was difficult to suppress a hint of excitement in Hou Cheng's tone.
I didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
Song Xian said: "We are going to fight you and make it look like we are leading troops to charge out."
"good!"
Hou Cheng nodded solemnly.
After discussing, they took action.
The cry of killing echoed near the gate in the west of the city.
"Stop Hou Cheng."
"Hou Cheng is going to betray, stop him quickly!"
Wei Xu and Song Xian shouted in unison.
Soldiers from the entire west of the city gathered at this time, but they had already made arrangements. Before they could intercept Hou Cheng, they crossed the suspension bridge to the other side of the moat.
Chen Gong on the carriage was taken away like this.
The tall red rabbit horse, now unconscious, was lying on another carriage and was also quickly pulled away.
"Chase, chase quickly!"
Wei Xu shouted and they chased across the moat.
However, Chen Zhou had already arranged for Cao Jun to wait for the response on the other side of the moat. At this time, when he saw someone chasing him, Cao Jun soldiers guarding near the suspension bridge immediately drew their bows to cover Hou Cheng.
Hundreds of people led by Hou Cheng walked through the rain curtain and arrived at Cao's camp.
At this time, the soldiers on the other side did not dare to pursue anymore, so they retreated and put away the suspension bridge. According to the plan, Wei Xu and Song Xian hurriedly went to Lu Bu to report the news.
The rain continues.
The heavy rain seems to tell the unrest of tonight.
Lu Bu would sleep better when it rains heavily. Listening to the sound of rain outside, the brisk rhythm of beating the earth, it is easy to fall asleep.
Tonight, he hugged Diao Chan and was sleeping comfortably when a rushing sound came from outside.
"Marquis Wen, it's not good!"
"Mr. Gongtai is missing, and Red Tuma is missing."
"Marquis Wen..."
The shout soon woke up Lu Bu.
His sleep was suddenly disturbed. Lu Bu was very angry when he got up. When he was suddenly woken up, he was so angry that he was about to trouble someone outside. When he finally heard the content of the shouting clearly, he lost all sleep.
"What did you say?"
Lu Bu got dressed and ran out to ask.
"The red rabbit horse is missing, and all the horses in the stable fainted."
"Mr. Gongtai is also missing, and everyone in his family was killed."
The person who came to deliver the message said eagerly.
Lu Bu didn't believe this was true.
How come so many things happen during a short sleep?
Lu Bu ignored the heavy rain outside and walked to the stables.
A soldier brought an umbrella and wanted to protect Lu Bu from the rain, but Lu Bu was tall and the soldier might not be able to block the umbrella over Lu Bu's head even if he stood on tiptoes.
stable.
The war horses passed out and all fell to the ground.
The fiery red red rabbit horse has long disappeared, and the soldier guarding the stable has been cut with a knife in the neck. The blood has been drained, and the blood has blended into the rain and flowed away.
"what happened?"
Lu Bu asked in an angry voice, veins bulging on his forehead.
The soldiers around him trembled. Who knows what happened?
They don’t know anything and can’t explain it!
"Marquis Wen...it's not good, Marquis Wen..."
Another voice came urgently from outside.
Those were the voices of Wei Xu and Song Xian.
