North Pu River North Shore.

At the top of Xiancheng, there is a sea of ​​fire.

Because it is approaching the North Pu River, the ship launches a stone cart, which can hit the city head directly. The south gate of the quilt tower, and the flames soar into the sky. The fire rains pour out, the ropes are burned off, and the fires are falling from the suspension bridge.

Before Cao's army could land, there was another loud noise. The tower collapsed. The ruins were like piles of firewood. The raging flames blocked the city gate. The thick smoke on the top of the city covered the sun, and it was difficult to stand firm. As early as the beginning of the city bombing, the chaotic army scattered.

Don't do anything when you see things.

Cao Xing, Wei Yue commanded three thousand Lu Hun Rong cavalry, rushed out of the north gate and roared away.

At this time, Cao Cao's army had not been lined up and could not catch up.

The soldiers entered the city and made a list of people to rest. When the flames burned out, they would carry the earth to put out the fire and block the destroyed city gates.

The Central Army’s tent.

"Report, Zhendu's letter arrived." The messenger entered the account and reported it.

"It must be Wen Ruo." Cao Cao was in a good mood after winning the first battle.

After taking the letter and looking at it carefully, Cao Cao frowned and passed it to Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu took it with both hands, looked carefully and asked, "If you know what you are doing inside, do you know?"

"I haven't told you yet." Cao Cao replied. There was a giant family in the city who secretly understood the Qubiao, which was the key to this battle. Except for a few confidants, Cao Cao did not tell others. Xun Yu was also a confidant. However, he was not by his side and guarded Zhendu. The capital was important and the powerful people were full of people. What he thought was not known. After all, there was Chen Palace, a lesson from the previous car. If Xun Yu turned his back on the master and told him about the matter of Tian, ​​this battle would be in danger.

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Wen Ruo also doesn't know that it is the plan of Gong Ming."

Cao Cao nodded gently: "It should be as Zhongde said." He then put Xun Yu's book into his sleeve.

Puyang city.

Lu Bu and Chen Palace were erected on the flat tower, overlooking the vast northern Pu, and listening to the surging rivers from afar.

"Bu heard that the mountains and rivers in the north are Yang, and the mountains and rivers in the south are Yin." Lu Bu pointed to the distance, and the Pu River flowed southeast, and asked: "This city is located south of the Pu River, so it should be named Puyin, so why is it called Puyang?"

"The general doesn't know something." Chen Gong replied, "There are two branches of the Pu River. This is the Northern Pu River. It was called the yōng River in ancient times. It passed through the east of Xiaochengyang in Juyang County and west of Chuiting, and then into the north of Yangli River (Huzi River). There is also the Nan Pu River, which passes south of Lihu County, then passes south of Juyang into Leize, and then into Daye Ze in the east. In ancient times, Zhuangzi fished at the Pu River. The water was about the Nan Pu River. By the Han Dynasty, the river broke the sour jujube and collapsed the Jindi in the east. More than 40 years later, the river was determined by Huzi (kou), and the south of Juye, and connected to Huai and Si. The water flowed turbulently, thus forming the north-south Pu River."

"Puyang is north of the ancient Pu River." Lu Bu woke up.

“Yes.”

The Northern Pu River "passed eastward through the south of Juncheng and went northwest to Puyang 35 miles. There was a mountain of sub-quan on the city (side), which is what the Book of Songs said was that there was a sub-quan under Jun. The Pu River was the former way through Puyang south."

"The public station has a counter-split strategy, why does it also set up a city formation?" Lu Bu was in doubt.

Generally speaking, since there is a conspiracy, one should be cautious and stop the enemy. He is afraid of being able to see through it. Why did he still make great efforts to set up a new formation around the ambushed place? Seeing this chain of formations, how could Cao Mengde dare to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly and throw himself to death?

"Does the general not remember the troops going out to the east?" Chen Gong asked with a smile.

"Of course I remember." Previously, Xue Lan, ruled Li Feng, and offered a counter-espionage plan. In order to distinguish the authenticity, Cao Cao led his army to seize Cheng's family and pretended to attack Dingtao. Lu Bu ambushed his troops in the east and pursued the west. Cao Cao was not suspicious.

"'Warriors are the intrigue way. Therefore, if you can show it that you cannot show it, if you use it, you cannot use it, if you show it that it is near, if you show it that it is far away, if you show it that it is far away, if you show it that it is far away, it is near.' This is the way of virtuality and reality." Chen Gong said.

"The public platform is very resourceful." Lu Bu asked again: "Cheng Li is a little inferior, but what about Xun Yu?" The implication is that the truth is true and true, and the truth is true and false. Cheng Yu cannot see through it, how can Xun Yu not see through it.

"Xun Yu's talent is not my subordinate." Chen Gong sighed: "However, Cao Mengde will not inform the matters of Tian's inner response."

"How do you know it?" Lu Bu asked again.

"Cao Mengde is cunning, deceitful and suspicious. Xun Yu is defending Zhendu and is alone outside (Cao Army). Moreover, there is Wang Yun in the capital, and there are Wang Yun in charge of the government affairs, and there are unparalleled marquis and others under him. Those who are powerful Cao Mengde cannot count. They secretly win over and turn against each other in front of the formation. "The car in front is overturned, and the car in the back is ringing." With me, I am in the front, how can I know that there is no Xun Yu and the ruler in reverse?" Chen Gong's eyes were calm, and there was no wave in the ancient well.

Lu Bu sighed: "The Gongtai knows Cao Mengde, and he is deeply aware of it."

"It is precisely because of his deep knowledge that he has today's counter-revolution. Cao Mengde, a hero in troubled times, is a great treacherous person who is like a loyal person." Chen Gong said, "If you can share the suffering, you cannot share the same kindness. When you have a full wing and a high-ranking minister, you will usurp the Han Dynasty and establish yourself. At that time, it would be difficult for me and Xun Yu to die well. There will be a battle between public and private."

"So that's it." Lu Bu looked down at the city, his eyes were vast and speechless for a moment.

Chen Gong glanced lightly and the light appeared.

Nothing more wisdom than demons.

Lu Bu suddenly realized that he was seen through.

The two stood together and said nothing. After a long time, Lu Bu asked first: "How about King Ji?"

Chen Gong was finally moved: "The family, country and the world are clear in love and hate. People like Jia Xu, Li Ru, and Xu You can all have a good ending."

"If you and I join King Ji, can you get a good end?" Lu Bu must have asked this question.

"Can a general fall in love with the king (Ji) likes, not what the king hates?" Chen Gong asked with a smile. He had a clear distinction between love and hate, and he would definitely be decisive in killing.

"It's unknown." Lu Bu said truthfully.

Chen Gong smiled and speechless.

It's night.

Puyang County, Xiancheng.

The central army's tent was brightly lit.

The sea fleet is built under the city, ready to go.

The North Pu River goes northwest to Puyang, only thirty-five miles. Take a boat ride at night and flip the wings of the ship. The army lands on the shore and can reach it in an instant.

Cao Mengde sat upright.

"Report, there are detailed works in the city."

"Let's meet quickly." Cao Cao was excited.

After a while, a relative of Tian’s family entered the account: “Go to the general.”

"Who are you?" Cao Cao asked first.

"Call's guest." The relative replied.

"There can be a token." Cao Cao asked again.

"The token is here." It is the private seal of Tian's family.

Comparing the tickets signed by Tian, ​​it turned out to be this seal. Whenever Cao Cao asked questions, everyone who came to answered them was like a stream. He also took Tian’s blood letter and submitted it, and agreed that at three days, he would raise the fire as a sign and open the city gate at night. Then Cheng Yu looked at the handwriting carefully. This confirmed that it was correct.

"When this battle is over, there will be a great reward." Cao Cao finally smiled.

"General Xie." The relatives bowed again. They dared not stay for a long time, so they sneaked out at night. The so-called chicken crowing and dog thieves. Although Puyang has strict defenses, the person has his own way to go in and out.

"Is it credible?" Cao Cao asked in an exciting manner.

‘It should be trustworthy.’ Cheng Yu replied. Looking at his words and deeds, tokens and blood, there are no flaws.

"Within three days, there must be no war." Cao Cao had his own conspiracy: "Tomorrow, order all troops to go out with light cavalry and harass Leh."

"Here." Cheng Yu went to each battalion to pass the death.

When it was late at night, Cao Mengde was the only one left in the tent. He suddenly stood up and walked left and right, his excitement was beyond words. Suddenly, he took Xun Yu's handwritten letter and watched again under the lamp.
