Chapter 28 Watching a play requires professionalism [Seeking follow-up reading]

The sky is full of stars.

The Cao Mansion was located southeast of the imperial palace, and most of the court officials lived in this area.

He led a small group of soldiers out of the house and headed north. Cao Cao had an idea and used his military strategy to secretly cross Chencang.

The team of less than twenty people seemed to merge with the darkness.

There seemed to be a layer of mist around the team.

If someone were to investigate them at this time, it would be extremely difficult to find or track their team.

Sneaking into Chencang can conceal oneself and disrupt one's destiny at the same time.

In Cao Cao's dantian, countless texts from military books blended together, and the purple spell that gathered together faintly transformed into a military talisman. As the faint light flowed, it attracted the energy of heaven and earth and concealed the whereabouts of the team.

He also used his listening ability on the battlefield to gain insight into everything near and far.

The entire team moved silently through the city and approached their destination.

After the incident last night, the patrolling city guards and Dong Zhuo's troops in Luoyang city occupied different areas with the north and south as the boundary.

There were several small-scale clashes between the city guards and the Praefectus Urbija and Dong Zhuo's troops within a day.

Although the city seems to have returned to calm on the surface, it is actually full of crises.

Cao Cao and his entourage evaded inspection and made their way to the north of the city.

The streets here are pitch black, filled with fear and panic.

Some houses, even officials' residences, were attacked by Dong Zhuo's troops last night, leaving them in ruins and stained with blood.

On the first day Dong Zhuo led his troops into Luoyang, he allowed his soldiers to invade private homes without any restraint.

As Cao Cao walked, he thought that it was Dong Zhuo's brutality that ultimately cost him his life.

For a period of time, Dong Zhuo actually had the opportunity to conquer the world.

At one point, his troops were able to fight against various princes, and he had the best generals and counselors.

He ruined everything himself.

The perpetrators of violence will eventually be consumed by violence.

The troops under Cao Cao moved very quickly. After a quarter of an hour, they passed many patrols and arrived outside the north city gate.

This place temporarily became Dong Zhuo's base camp.

A few people came to the shadow of the corner of a building, lay down, and looked into the distance.

There was a faint, dim light in the direction of the city gate.

From a distance, there were a lot of people.

Groups of people were walking out of the city in the dark.

At first glance, there were at least two or three thousand people, all dressed in civilian clothes, marching in neat rows out of the city gate.

"What are they doing?"

Dian Wei, who was standing beside Cao Cao, suddenly turned around and stared at somewhere.

Cao Cao waved his hand to stop Dian Wei's sudden attack.

In that direction, someone seemed to have uncovered the void, revealing his figure, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand.

The energy flowing through Jian Shu made him almost invisible.

It’s Xun Yu.

He was holding the scroll of "Xunzi Jie Bi" and used it to stimulate the energy, able to display the magical power of "empty, one and still" in the Confucian Tianlun chapter, lying dormant and hidden.

Xun Yu made an appointment with Cao Cao and came to observe the enemy's situation.

He came closer, looked at Cao Cao's troops, and said in surprise:
"You brought so many people with you, and you were able to hide your tracks?"

Cao Cao responded, his eyes still fixed on the city gate in the distance.

Xun Yu thought for a moment and said, "Are you using the secret crossing of Chencang passed down by Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin?

This technique was lost after Han Xin. Legend has it that when Han Xin performed it himself, he could make the entire army disappear, up to 30,000 soldiers disappear without a trace.

Xun Yu's tone was somewhat excited.

Han Xin is a legendary figure in the military. Not only was he a master at using troops, but the military strategies and tactics he passed down are also the goal for all military strategists to learn from.

Cao Cao was well versed in Han Xin's military tactics and was able to hide with many people. The effect was no less than the hiding method activated by Xun Yu using Xunzi's handwriting, which really surprised Xun Yu.

Cao Cao: "How many people did Dong Zhuo arrange to leave the city?"

"There were more than 2,000 soldiers in this group. He wanted to maintain a deterrent force against Luoyang, but he did not have enough soldiers, so he ordered the soldiers to leave the city at night, put on armor during the day, ride their horses through the city gates, and then enter the city.

Everyone will think that his troops are increasing, and all parties will be frightened and dare not confront him. "

Xun Yu: "This should be the idea of ​​his adviser Li Ru. This man's scheming is quite powerful."

Cao Cao: "Dong Zhuo has a more powerful man under his command, but he values ​​his life very much and won't show up easily." Dian Wei was eavesdropping on the side, and then he realized that so many people at the city gate were heading outside the city, and they were actually putting on a show for the whole Luoyang to see.

Unfortunately, his plan was discovered by Cao Cao and Xun Yu.

In the darkness of night, Dong Zhuo's tall and fat figure appeared on the north city gate.

He was surrounded by many people.

The leader among them was an old man with a gloomy face, wearing a dark brown robe with closed sleeves.

"Don't worry, my lord. I, Lianshanzuo's people, will definitely complete your orders. I will personally do it and there will be no mistakes!"

This old man was the leader of the people around him. After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and several figures jumped down from the top of the city wall one after another, entered the city like ghosts, and went deep into Luoyang.

"What do these people do?"

"Go to the city to assassinate and kill people, help Dong Zhuo eliminate dissidents and remove obstacles." Xun Yu said.

The old man also jumped into the city from the top of the city wall and landed on a building with a sneer on his face. After a quick look, he prepared to move on.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the direction of the city!
A ray of cyan-gold light broke through the air like lightning, radiating sharpness in all directions.

The light turned out to be a giant spear, thrown from the air.

Before the spear appeared, there was a force of energy that locked onto the old man entering the city from a distance.

The old man reacted quickly and immediately sent out two rays of light, but they were instantly pierced and shattered by the spears that broke through the air.

Boom——Crack!
A spear pierces the chest!

The old man under Dong Zhuo's command screamed as a big hole was pierced in his chest.

Under the tremendous impact of the spear, his body flew backwards dozens of feet and exploded all over.

The power of this spear shocked the whole audience.

Dong Zhuo and others saw it clearly from the top of the city wall and were caught off guard.

Their leader died before their plan even began.

"Dong Zhuo!"

The crisp sound of horse hooves echoed along the long street.

Lu Bu was riding on a horse with his battle robe fluttering.

When he threw the spear, he was still at a long distance.

But as soon as the spear was thrown, the soldiers and horses behind him roared, and they rode like the wind, quickly approaching the north gate.

However, it was Lu Bu who led his troops to attack, which just happened to expose Dong Zhuo's plan to smuggle troops out of the city at night.

The people brought by Lu Bu were fully armed and wearing armor and holding sharp weapons.

The troops under Dong Zhuo who left the city were lightly equipped. In order to facilitate movement, they did not wear armor or carry weapons.

Lu Bu led his troops to attack, and some of Dong Zhuo's troops scattered around tried to stop them, but they were all knocked off their horses one after another by him.

Lu Bu approached the city gate in a blink of an eye and charged into the crowd of Dong Zhuo's men.

Xun Yu, who was watching the fun from the dark, asked Cao Cao, "Why did you insist on asking me to secretly plot and have Ding Yuan send Lü Bu to attack Dong Zhuo?"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "You don't understand the benefits of using Lü Bu. His hatred for Dong Zhuo is so deep that it will be difficult for him to worship Dong Zhuo as his foster father."

Xun Yu thought Cao Cao was just joking and laughed along.

At this time, Cao Cao's personal soldiers handed over a food box, opened it and took out dried meat, nuts and other things.

Xun Yu was stunned, "What are you doing?"

It takes professionalism to watch the fun.

Without snacks, you look amateurish.

"I have been busy since last night and haven't eaten much. I came here in a hurry, so I brought some food with me."

Cao Cao handed the jerky to Dian Wei, and Dian Wei gladly took it.

[Dian Wei's loyalty to you +0.1]

The tip before the entry is correct. Feeding Dian Wei can increase loyalty, but not much.

Xun Yu looked back at the city.

"Have you notified other people?"

"It wasn't me who notified them. It is said that Lu Bu has the ambition to become famous all over the world. Maybe he sent the message to some people before attacking Dong Zhuo."

Xun Yu said: "It's a good thing. There aren't that many people who can expose Dong Zhuo. The others can be safer."

Cao Cao nodded slightly and took a bite of jerky: "Dian Wei, if I let you get close, are you sure you can kill Dong Zhuo?"

Ps: It's Monday soon, please give me a ticket, thank you everyone~
