Chen Deng led two personal soldiers of Xiahou Yuan back into the mansion of his Chen family in the city through the tunnel. As soon as he came back, he gave Xia Pi prefect Gao Changsheng. Soon after, Gao Changsheng came to Chen Deng's home. Although it was late at night, Gao Changsheng, as the prefect of Xia Pi, had the responsibility of patrolling the city, so his travels would not attract others' attention. When others saw it, they would only think that he was patrolling the city.

Chen Deng invited Gao Changsheng to the study room in the backyard, stepped back, pointed to the two great men around him and introduced to Gao Changsheng: "Brother Gao, they are the people sent by General Xiahou to contact him." Then he pointed to Gao Changsheng and introduced to them: "This is the prefect of Xia Pi, Gao Changsheng!" The two bowed to Gao Changsheng and said: "I have met the adults. If you need to contact the general, please tell me both!"

Gao Changsheng smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you." Then he asked Chen Deng: "Yuanlong, have you informed General Xiahou of our plan?"

Chen Deng nodded, "General Xiahou has agreed to our plan, and Mingye will take action to capture Xia Pi in one fell swoop!" After pausing, he asked, "I wonder if there is any problem?"

Gao Changsheng thought, "We have deduced this plan several times, and there will be no problem!" He raised his head, "Just act according to the plan, absolutely foolproof!" Chen Deng nodded and said excitedly: "After tomorrow night, Xia Pi will be ours!" Gao Changsheng said, "Early tomorrow morning, you and I will act separately according to the previous plan." Then he took out a token and handed it to Chen Deng, "This is the token of the prefect. If you take my token, you will not encounter any obstacles." Chen

Deng took the token, nodded, and then said, "The time for our action is at midnight in Mingye. If there is no problem, it will be determined!" "Okay. It will be determined. Since the plan has been decided, we don't have to meet before Mingye, so as not to arouse suspicion from others. Although this possibility is not great, it is always good to be careful." Chen Deng nodded and clasped his fists and said, "Just listen to Brother Gao." The two of them carefully reviewed the details of the action. After all the details were determined, Gao Changsheng said goodbye and left.

The next morning, Gao Changsheng and Chen Deng took action separately. Gao Changsheng was responsible for contacting the officers who obeyed him and asked them to prepare. Chen Deng used the token of the prefect's mansion to inquire about the tunnels, and on the grounds of checking the tunnels, he ordered his confidant Chen Kun to lead hundreds of migrant workers to enter several major tunnel entrances in the East City. They had two tasks: one was to prevent the military and civilians in the city from entering the tunnel from these entrances as much as possible after the Cao army entered the city. The other was to help Cao army clear the officers and soldiers who might hide in the tunnels after Cao army controlled the entire city, so as to minimize the effect of the tunnels on Lu Bu army. However, Chen Deng would not perform this task. He would stay in his mansion and receive the elite Cao army into the city.

Everything is ready, just waiting for night to fall.

The sun finally sets down the mountain, and the night covers Xia Pi. A personal soldier of Xiahou Yuan used the tunnel to leave the city and rushed to Xiahou Yuan's tent to report to Xiahou Yuan: "General, Gao Changsheng and Chen Deng are all ready, just waiting for the general to take action." Xiahou Yuan looked happy and slapped his hands, "Okay!" Then he shouted to the messenger: "Send the order immediately and ask the troops to prepare to wait for the order!" The messenger Yingnuo and ran down.

The night gradually became deeper and the moon had risen to the top of the sky. At this time, a sound of updating came from Xia Pi City: "Be careful of fire candles when the sky is dry! Be careful of fire candle when the sky is dry!..." It was already the second update.

The Cao army camp outside the city quietly opened, and Cao army came out in full swing, carrying horses and picking bells. The eighty or ninety thousand troops made almost no sound. Xiahou Yuan personally led the main army to slowly approach the Xicheng Gate under the cover of night. At the same time, his general Xue Feng led 5,000 elite troops to sneak into the city from the tunnel. Chen Deng was very excited when he saw Cao army coming out of the secret tunnel from a distance, and he felt that the plan he had planned for so long was finally going to succeed!

Chen Deng saw a burly general coming towards him, clasped his fists and said, "Sir, I am a general under General Xiahou, Xue Feng." Chen Deng hurriedly replied, "I have met the general."

Xue Feng said: "It's almost the third time. Mr. Chen, please lead our army to the enemy's food, grass and weapons warehouse immediately." "I have prepared it long ago, General, please follow me." Then he led Xue Feng and his five thousand elite troops out of the Chen Mansion and rushed to the food, grass and weapons warehouse located next to the prefect's mansion."

Seeing that the street was very quiet and there was not even a patrolman, Xue Feng couldn't help but ask: "Why are there no patrol teams on the street?"

Chen Deng smiled and said, "This is all the credit of Brother Gao. As the prefect of Xia Pi, Brother Gao controlled some of the troops. Tonight it happened that his troops were carrying out patrol missions. Therefore, Brother Gao transferred the patrol troops in this area early to facilitate our actions!" Xue Feng suddenly realized.

Not long after, five thousand elite soldiers arrived at the end of the street, and a street was crossed not far ahead. Chen Deng stopped. Seeing this, Xue Feng immediately stopped and raised his left fist, and the officers and soldiers stopped immediately.

Chen Deng turned his head and whispered to Xue Feng: "General, not far from here to the right is the Lu Bu army's food, grass and weapons warehouse. The troops guarding here are the troops that have just been transferred from Huainan. I heard that they were all death row prisoners who were recruited by Lu Bu, and they were all cruel characters who killed people without blinking. Brother Gao and I couldn't control them, so we had to rely on the general to lead the army to forcibly break in." Xue Feng didn't care at all and smiled slightly, "Sir, don't worry." Then he waved his hand, and the thousands of elite soldiers behind him immediately ran out of the street and ran to the right.

At this time, four guards were standing at the gate of the warehouse. Suddenly, they saw a large group of soldiers turning from the corner of the street not far away and heading straight up. The leading sentry took a step forward and shouted, "The person who comes to the warehouse is at the important place, don't approach without authorization!" "We were sent by General Ju Yi!" A man responded loudly. Hearing this, the sentry was quite surprised. He didn't understand why the general suddenly sent so many officers and soldiers? Is it necessary to strengthen it?

Warehouse defense? But the enemy is currently outside the city. Is it necessary to strengthen the defense here? Then again, General Ju Yi’s strange orders have emerged one after another in the past two days. Not long ago, the general ordered the elite black-clothed camp beside him to come to the warehouse to brush tung oil everywhere, which made them, the soldiers guarding the warehouse, worried about the water flowing in the past two days. Everyone didn’t have a good night’s sleep for two consecutive nights!

Seeing that the brigade of soldiers came to the gate, the leading sentry took a step forward and said loudly: "No matter what you are going to do, show me the general's orders first." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something was wrong. Although the soldiers and horses in front of him were dressed like their own clothes, they were all wearing black clothes, and they should be wearing red clothes! The sentry moved his heart, and immediately showed a look of shock on his face, staring and shouting: "You...!" However, before he finished speaking, the Cao army officers and soldiers on the front suddenly shot out a wave of powerful arrows. Before the four sentries at the door could react, they were caught and fell to the ground and died tragically on the spot.

The Cao army officers and soldiers rushed forward and pushed open the gate, and then a large group of soldiers rushed in from the gate. Five thousand people instantly occupied a vast warehouse.

Chen Deng accompanied Xue Feng to the hall in front of the gate. At this time, dozens of Cao army officers and soldiers stood in the hall with torches in their hands, and the flames shone the hall as if it were daylight! Chen Deng rushed to the bookshelf on the left with familiarity, took a roll of bamboo slips, handed them to Xue Feng, and smiled and said, "General, please see, this large warehouse not only stocks hundreds of thousands of dans of food and grass, but also stores a large amount of food and grass weapons!" Xue Feng took the bamboo slips and opened them. Sure enough, he saw that the bamboo slips were registered with enough food and weapons and weapons for 200,000 troops, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

Roll up the bamboo slips and return them to Chen Deng, saying, "I want to order a big news. It would be better for sir to leave first!" According to the plan formulated by Chen Denggao Changsheng and Xiahou Yuan, Xue Feng entered the city from the secret passage, and first came to raid the grain and grass ordnance warehouse. The purpose of this is to protect the important grain and grass ordnance warehouse from being destroyed by Lu Bu's army, and to attract the attention of the Lu Bu's army in the city and attract them to the grain and grass ordnance warehouse.

The purpose is to give Gao Changsheng the opportunity to lead his army to seize the city gate. Once the Lu Bu army troops rushed to the grain, grass and ordnance warehouse, the city would inevitably be in chaos. At that time, Gao Changsheng would use the controlled army to seize the city gate. When the city gate opened, Xiahou Yuan led a large army to rush in, and he could wipe out the Lu Bu army gathered around the grain, grass and ordnance warehouse in one go, thus seizing the countless money, grain and ordnance stored in Xia Pi and Xia Pi cities.

When Chen Deng heard Xue Feng's suggestion, he said seriously: "I am now also the Prime Minister's subordinate! How can I escape in the face of the battle? The general doesn't have to worry about me. I am willing to fight the enemy with the general here!"

Seeing this, Xue Feng was quite surprised. He nodded and immediately ordered his subordinates to make a big noise. After a while, huge shouts sounded in the grain and grass warehouse: "We have occupied the grain and grass warehouse, and Lu Bu's officers and soldiers surrender quickly to avoid burial!..." The shouts were repeated over and over again, rolling over Xia Pi like thunder. The people were awakened one after another. Listening to these shouts, they were only scared and at a loss.

The Lu Bu army in the city was mobilized and rushed to the grain, grass and weapons warehouse. At the same time, Gao Changsheng led his army to the city gate and ordered people to open the city gate. Gao Changsheng himself rushed to the city gate tower, raising the torch high and waving it hard outside the city. This was the secret code agreed by Gao Changsheng and his friends with Xiahou Yuan. At this time, Xiahou Yuan was leading more than 80,000 troops waiting outside the city, quite anxious. Suddenly, he saw the torch waving on the city gate tower, and his eyes lit up. At this moment, a general next to him pointed at the city gate and shouted excitedly: "General, the city gate is open!"
