Just when Cao Cao rescued Baima.
Jian Yong left Xiangyang, reluctantly went back to Liu Bei's military camp, and then told Liu Bei and Chen Gong completely what happened in Xiangyang.
"What?"
Liu Bei and Chen Gong stood up excitedly again.
"How could this be?"
Sun Qian said in disbelief: "We wanted to contact Sun Ce, but Sun Ce was assassinated. We wanted to unite with Jingzhou, but Zhang Xian rebelled in Jingzhou, and Liu Jingzhou had to suppress it... How is this possible?"
When something like this happened, they felt it was no coincidence.
It doesn't seem to be an accident.
Chen Gong said in shock: "No wonder Cao Cao decided to go north to fight Yuan Shao, he decided so simply. He must have known for a long time that there would be no peace in Jiangdong and Jingzhou, and he knew that neither Sun Ce nor Liu Biao would help us. What happened to Chen Du? So awesome!”
In their understanding, these are Chen Zhou's predictions.
Although it was not Cao Cao who assassinated Sun Ce, it was not Cao Cao who prompted Zhang Xian to rebel.
But Chen Zhou must have predicted that something like this would happen in advance. He completely ignored Jingzhou and Yangzhou and decisively sent troops north to fight Yuan Shao. This ability was something Chen Gong thought he could not possess.
"Chen Duzhi!"
Liu Bei felt that this name was like his nightmare.
From the moment he took refuge with Cao Cao, Chen Zhou's name became an invisible shackle.
Now they were all plotted by Chen Zhou. They had all been plotted. In the end, they couldn't do anything. They felt very powerless and helpless for a while.
"Then what should we do?"
Jian Yong said.
All of their eyes fell on Chen Gong.
I saw Chen Gong thinking for a long time and finally decided: "Continue to take action, first capture Pingyu in Runan, then occupy the entire territory of Runan, and go north to attack Yingchuan. I don't believe that Chen Duzhi even predicted that we would do this. Judgment."
"good!"
Liu Bei agreed.
He also didn't believe that Chen Zhou was so miraculous that he could predict clearly that he was going to Runan.
If it is really that magical, Chen Zhou is not a counselor, but a god.
"Tomorrow, do it!"
Liu Bei said.
They are a team of surprise soldiers, and their emphasis is on taking them by surprise and attacking them unprepared.
Chen Gong was confident that it would not be difficult to capture Pingyu after a surprise attack by a surprise attack. Chen Gong said, "Before the official action, place more people into Pingyu. Is Uncle Zhi qualified for this task?"
Chen Dao heard this and looked at Liu Bei.
After getting Liu Bei's nod, Chen Dao affirmed: "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
Arrange their people into Pingyu, and when they make a surprise attack at night, they can cooperate inside and outside, kill Pingyu's guards, and be even more unprepared. It is relatively easy to control the county and Pingyu, and then capture the whole county.
"good!"
Chen Gong nodded.
They acted quickly and arranged immediately.
"Brother, there is new news."
Guan Yu ran back and said: "I just got the news from Jiangdong. Sun Ce... is dead!"
"died!"
Chen Gong was not surprised by this, but said regretfully: "This way, it will be even less possible for the Sun family to cooperate with us! The foundation of the Sun family was all created by Sun Ce. If he dies, the next heir may not be able to grasp it. They are either maintaining stability in the family business or experiencing civil strife.”
Hearing this, Liu Bei and the others felt very sorry.
What a good opportunity to deal with Cao Cao, but it was gone. Neither Yangzhou nor Jingzhou could send troops.
——
Cao Ang led Cao Tai and Cao Fu, and when Cao Cao went to war, they went south to Runan and came to Pingyu City.
This is the seat of Runan County. To capture Runan, Pingyu must get it.
Therefore, the three of them set up an ambush and waited here.
"Brother, can we really do this?"
Cao Fu asked Cao Ang unconfidently.
"Definitely!"
Cao Ang solemnly said: "As long as we follow your master's plan, there is no need to worry about Guan and Zhang. Our troops are more sophisticated and have stronger weapons than Liu Bei's. Liu Bei is surrounded by mobs, and we can fight!"
Having said this, he thought for a moment and then said: "Sir, our goal this time is not to kill Liu Bei, and we can't kill him with our strength. However, if we kill all Liu Bei's soldiers, we can complete the mission. "
It is difficult to kill Liu Bei.
But by avoiding the sharp edge and destroying Liu Bei's troops, they were confident that there was no problem.
"Brother, there is news again."
Cao Tai came back and said: "The news came back from our work in Yangzhou that Sun Ce was still dead, and the news came back from our work in Jingzhou. Zhang Xian in Changsha rebelled, and Liu Biao had to send troops to suppress it. The wealthy people in Jingzhou had no intention of sending troops. Therefore, Jingzhou and Yangzhou, They won’t do anything to us.”
These are the contents of Chen Zhou's prediction.
Cao Ang and Cao Fu were overjoyed after hearing this.
"Send these messages to father immediately. Send them over quickly."
Cao Ang said: "My husband said that if something happens in Yangzhou and Jingzhou, and Liu Bei is unable to recruit foreign aid, he will go all out and attack Pingyu. We must make all preparations."
Since everything was in Chen Zhou's prediction, their confidence increased greatly, and they felt that even if Liu Bei was coming, they would have to shed a layer of skin even if they could escape.
Cao Ang's personal soldiers were hidden in Pingyu City, waiting for Liu Bei's arrival.
Night falls.
Tonight, very quiet.
Except for the patrolling soldiers and the occasional sound of footsteps, there was no other movement in the city.
On top of the tower, torches danced in the wind.
The soldiers guarding the city are now drowsy. The night is long. Even if they sleep a lot during the day, they will easily fall asleep at night.
The same goes for the soldiers at the city gate.
They leaned against the wall of the doorway, yawning, and threw their spears, ring-headed knives and other weapons aside casually, and they were not very vigilant.
The war is being fought in the north now.
They have basically no war in Runan, so they are as safe as they want.
As a result, vigilance was lowered and the soldiers relaxed a lot.
At this time, dozens of black figures suddenly walked out of the dark night and alleys. The leader was Chen Dao. They were like elves in the night, walking around at will under the night.
"Do it."
Chen Dao's voice was low.
They first went to the gate of the city gate and killed all the soldiers under the city tower.
"What……"
However, some soldiers in the doorway were still alerted. Just as they were about to shout, Chen Dao shot him through the heart. He was so dead that he fell in a pool of blood.
Chen Dao succeeded. He raised his head and glanced at the tower. They quickly sneaked to the tower and continued killing.
Cao Ang and the others hid in a private house near the city gate and looked out through the cracks in the door and window. Although it was blurry in the dark night, they could still see the figures of Chen Dao and others in action under the torches at the city gate.
"Brother, they are taking action. When will we take action?" Cao Tai asked.
Cao Ang said calmly: "There is no need to worry for now. It will not be too late for us to take action when Liu Bei's soldiers enter the city. After they enter, no one can escape and will have to die."
"Give the order, all soldiers be ready."
He added.
Chen Dao went up to the city tower and solved the problem silently. Dozens of soldiers guarding the city tower raised their torches and waved them to signal to the outside of the city.
