"Brother Chong, Zhuge Liang asked for a truce and formation before the war and you agreed?" Under Pingyuan City, in Cao Chong's military camp, Cao Zhang had just returned from an inspection under the city. Zhuge Liang's formation in the south of the city was a good opportunity for a surprise attack. "Zhuge Liang's formations are indeed strange, but most of them have been thoroughly studied by me. This time Zhuge Liang will take half a month to set up the formation. It must be a big formation. I want to see it. Third brother, don't worry, our army now has absolute strength. , Will not let Zhuge Liang take advantage of it." Cao Chong smiled slightly, no matter what Zhuge Liang's plan was, Cao Chong was confident enough to deal with it. "Since Brother Chong is confident, I won't say much more. Brother Chong, Brother Rui warned us to be careful about Zhuge Liang before going on the expedition" Cao Zhang glanced at Cao Chong, and he always felt that something was wrong with Cao Chong. , but I can¡¯t tell. "Zhuge Liang is indeed a powerful opponent. Brother Rui's reminder is correct, but we must not be afraid of the enemy. Zhuge Liang proposed a half-month period. We can also make preparations. No matter what Zhuge Liang's formation looks like after half a month, I will attack the plain. City! "Cao Chong is talented and smart and has already made preparations. He has ordered his army to dig tunnels near Pingyuan City. If Zhuge Liang's formation cannot be broken, he can attack the city with tunnels. "Brother Chong has a plan?" Cao Zhang glanced at Cao Chong in surprise. No wonder Cao Chong insisted on letting Zhuge Liang set up the formation. It turned out that he had a plan in advance. "That's right, Third Brother, this is our new tunnel!" Cao Chong took out a blueprint and handed it to Cao Zhang. Since Cao Chong governed Qingzhou, Cao Chong began to recruit tomb robbers under Cao Cao's rule. In particular, some people who originally touched the Jin Army were recruited by Cao Chong. Cao Chong reorganized an army named: Army of Digging the City. This army takes advantage of their ability to rob tombs. After training, a new type of tunnel was developed. This tunnel is deeper than ordinary tunnels, has higher load-bearing strength and air exchange functions, and allows more soldiers to march in the tunnel. More importantly, this army has another method of digging the city, which can quickly dig out the wall bricks of the city. Cao Chong believes that once this team digs the tunnel. As long as he wants to invade the plains, he can make the walls of the plains collapse and lose their defensive power with just one order. Cao Chong had already sent troops to dig tunnels from the first day he surrounded the plain. Cao Chong set up a formation for Zhuge Liang. Firstly, he wanted to see Zhuge Liang's wonderful formations, and secondly, he wanted to conceal his true purpose. "Brother Chong, you are more treacherous than Brother Rui. With these fifty tunnels, Pingyuan City will definitely be unable to fight back. Once the city wall is destroyed, our cavalry will be able to rush into the city." Cao Zhang was incomparable at this time. I admire Cao Chong, this brother's brain is really good. The crossing of the Yellow River, in Cao Zhen¡¯s military camp. "Brother Rui, why are you here?" Cao Zhen was stunned for a moment when he saw Lu Rui suddenly appearing in the military camp. Lu Rui should not be in charge of the military affairs of the four states in Xudu, so how could he come here. "Zidan, we don't have time to explain to Zidan. The situation has changed now. Our army's food reserves have been destroyed by Liu Bei's army. Now I have to go to the plain. There is a military order, and Zidan is required to execute it now." Lu Rui saw Cao Zhen. I didn't want to explain any more and just gave the military order. "Yes, I will obey the order!" Seeing Lu Rui in such a hurry, Cao Zhen became rude and obeyed the order with his fists clasped. "Zidan, your 50,000-strong army will withdraw immediately. It is meaningless here. Liu Bei has probably used the territory of Daofan County to retreat to Hebei in Xutu. Rui knows that the wheat fields in Pingyuan County have been destroyed by Chongdi, and the people have stored grain. Not much, our army took this opportunity to move all the people in Pingyuan County south to our rule, and Zidan is responsible for this." Lu Rui thought a lot along the way, that Cao Chong suffered a big loss in Pingyuan. Lu Rui also wanted to save some face and move all the population under Cao Cao's rule. "Brother Rui, there are many people in Pingyuan County, especially in the Nanpi area. There is a large population. They have to move under the rule of our army. I'm afraid it will be difficult?" "Zidan, Rui means that no matter whether the people are willing or not, they will If you want to move the people south, use force if you don't agree. As for the aristocratic family, you can do whatever you want. Doesn't Zidan have a family to support? Is it just a decoration?" Lu Rui glanced at Cao Zhen, you don't know how Lao Cao started his business. "Brother Rui, don't worry, you really know how to do it." "Okay, Zidan, go quickly. As long as the people are in hand, our army can return to Hebei in less than ten years!" "Promise!" Lu Rui finished giving orders to Cao Zhen. After that, he rushed to Pingyuan County with three thousand cavalry. In Pingyuan City, Zhuge Liang is making pre-war arrangements in the meeting hall. Tomorrow is the day of the agreement between Zhuge Liang and Cao Chong. "Military advisor, everything in the city has been arranged. Tomorrow is the day of decisive battle for our army. What clever plan does the advisor have to defeat the enemy?" Liu Feng asked Zhuge in the meeting hall.Liang, I have only been reinforcing the city defenses and street fighting defenses in the city these past few days. I have not seen any new plans from Zhuge Liang. Could it be that Zhuge Liang finally wants to fight Cao Chong in the street fighting in Pingyuan City? Although part of Liu Bei's defeated army returned to the plains, there were only 20,000 people in total. Can they defeat Cao Chong in a street fight? Liu Feng didn't believe it. "Master Feng, have you dug the underground tunnel?" Zhuge Liang ignored Liu Feng and asked Liu Feng if he had dug the tunnel. "Reporting to the military advisor, everything has been dug according to the military advisor's requirements. The corridor leads directly to the woods in the north of the city." "Okay, I will go with the young master to see the corridor." Under the leadership of Liu Feng, Zhuge Liang inspected the excavation of the corridor. After that, he was very satisfied, and then told Liu Feng to guard the corridor, and returned to the prefect's mansion. Early in the morning, Cao Chong arrived at Pingyuan City as promised. "Mr. Zhuge, I'm here as promised. I wonder what big formation you have? I want to see it." "Mr. Chong, the formation is in the city. If you want to see it, just attack the city." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, He looked at Cao Chong playfully. "Zhuge Liang, are you deceiving Chong?" "Master Chong is right. If Master Chong wants to attack the city, please attack the city, but Liang reckons that God will not do his best!" Zhuge Liang pointed to the sky and laughed. Go down to the city. "The sky?" Cao Zhang looked up and saw that the originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. Black clouds are threatening to destroy the city. "Brother Chong, is this?" Cao Chong looked at the sky with a look of disdain in his eyes. Isn't it because he can predict the sky? He thinks that heavy rain can stop our army's attack? Zhuge Liang, you underestimate the Central Plains cavalry! "Third brother, there is no need to panic. This is just a natural celestial phenomenon. Zhuge Liang thinks he can stop our army with some sky-viewing skills? It's a joke. Our army is not in a good position in the heavy rain. The enemy's army is also not in a good position. The conditions are the same. "Zhuge Liang, let you see how powerful I, Cao Chong, am today!" Cao Chong smiled slightly, "It's raining, huh, let's see how you, Zhuge Liang, can resist!" "Third brother. Let's retreat first, and then attack the city after an hour." Cao Chong rode back to the military camp. An hour later, it rained heavily in Pingyuan City. The sky was pitch black, with a few flashes of lightning flashing from time to time. Heavy rain, an unprecedented heavy rain! It lasted an hour and didn't stop. "Brother, do you think Cao Jun will attack the city today?" "Brother, are you crazy? With rain like this, I haven't seen it many times in my life. Will Cao Jun attack the city? They must be there. It's time to rest in the military camp. According to the rain, it is estimated that Cao Jun's military camp will be flooded. "A veteran looked under the tower to see where Cao Jun was. Not a single ghost was seen. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Bang! Suddenly the veteran felt his feet shake and became unstable. The young soldier quickly helped the veteran up. "Brother, the city wall? The city wall collapsed!" The young soldier looked at the nearby city wall in disbelief. The city wall actually collapsed. "Kill!" Suddenly there was a cry of killing from under the city tower, and Cao Jun came out of the tunnel and attacked Pingyuan City. Outside the city, Cao Chong saw the city wall collapse and smiled, he finally succeeded. "Brother Chong, Zhuge Liang is really amazing. He was able to predict this heavy rain. In just one hour, our military camp was filled with water." Cao Zhang looked around from the side. It was raining heavily. He had never seen such heavy rain before. . "Zhuge Liang's astronomical skills are indeed unexpected. If my guess is correct, Zhuge Liang wants to use this heavy rain to stop our army's attack and finally achieve the goal of victory without a fight. It's just that Zhuge Liang underestimates me. You don't think so. As for me, I will plot against you!" Cao Chong had already figured out Zhuge Liang's plan at this time. The heavy rain was not suitable for attacking the city, and Pingyuan City was located on a high slope and was surrounded by depressions. Zhuge Liang wanted to use the heavy rain to create a flood. Force yourself to retreat. "Brother Chong, what should we do now?" "Third brother, now that we have broken down the wall of Pingyuan City, Zhuge Liang must be shocked. I estimate that with Zhuge Liang's character, there will definitely be a way out. Third brother is leading 10,000 cavalry to blockade Pingyuan City. If you see enemy troops coming out of the city, kill them on the spot. My brother, I will lead the army into the city and capture Zhuge Liang!" Cao Chong was tricked, so of course he wanted to take revenge. "Brother Chong, let third brother go to charge into the battle. You can stay in the military camp to guard." "Third brother, Chong has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and it won't be a big deal if he has a tiger and leopard riding by his side. Chong is a The commander-in-chief of the three armies has just won the title. If he takes the lead, he will surely inspire the three armies. Don't worry, third brother, Chong will not be reckless. We should attack the city by Chong. This is a military order!" Cao Chong pressed Cao Zhang's hand to express his determination. . ¡°Brother Chong is the coach, so just listen to Chong.??'s. "Cao Chong is always the commander-in-chief. If Cao Zhang does not accept the order, he will not give Cao Chong face. Discord between generals is a taboo in the army. "Okay, third brother, we will act according to the plan! " "Military advisor, the military advisor is in trouble. It's in trouble. Cao's army has entered the city. "A soldier hurriedly reported to Zhuge Liang. "What? Did Cao Jun invade the city? "Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment. It was still raining heavily outside. Why did Cao Chong attack the city? "Military advisor, it's like this "Then the soldiers attacked the city with Cao Chong. The city wall collapsed and a large number of Cao's troops emerged from the underground. They reported to Zhuge Liang. "Dozens of tunnels? Cao Chong, Liang is really convinced! "Zhuge Liang shook his head. He didn't expect that Cao Chong was so powerful. He had plotted against Cao Chong many times. He didn't expect that he would be plotted against him now. Cao Chong must have started digging dozens of tunnels as soon as he surrounded Pingyuan City, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to do so. With such a result, I thought that the formation attracted Cao Chong and made his delaying plan successful. However, I didn't expect that Cao Chong had discovered his delaying plan long ago and deceived all his formations. This is an admirable surprise attack. "Our army will never be at peace unless Cao Chong is eliminated!" "Zhuge Liang let out a long breath. Cao Chong's performance was too amazing. If he didn't get rid of him before he was mature, I'm afraid he wouldn't have to fight in the future and just surrender to Cao Cao. This man's talent is rare in the world! "Send the order to the entire army. , resist to the death and fight with Cao Jun in the streets! "Zhuge Liang has lost again. Now he can only hope for the final blow. The longer the delay, the more likely Cao Chong will be fooled. "No! ¡± The street fighting in Pingyuan was carried out in the heavy rain. Cao Jun suddenly attacked Pingyuan, which caught the defenders of Pingyuan by surprise. However, the troops in Pingyuan City were personally trained by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. They were young and fresh troops. Although they were temporarily defeated by Cao Jun, they were dispersed into the street fighting. It was still very effective. The battle lasted from early morning to after noon. The defenders in the city gradually lost their resistance, and the city was full of corpses. Zhuge Liang took command on the arrow tower of the prefect's mansion and faced off with Cao Chong in a street battle. kill! "Cao Chong finally broke into the prefect's mansion, and Zhuge Liang's figure gradually disappeared. At this time, Lu Rui's cavalry was galloping towards the plain. Looking at the black clouds in the sky and the flashes of lightning from time to time, Lu Rui had an ominous premonition. That year When he found the first bamboo slip of Taigong's Art of War and saw the four changes in Zhuge's celestial phenomena, he didn't care much about it. But since Bowangpo, Lu Rui has changed his view of Zhuge Liang. There is indeed something weird about Zhuge Liang. "Four changes in the sky? "Is Zhuge Liang about to take action? Thinking of this, Lu Rui ordered his men to speed up their march and must reach Pingyuan City as soon as possible. "Report, Young Master, we found a tunnel. Zhuge Liang may have escaped through the tunnel. "A soldier discovered a tunnel in the study of the prefect's mansion. "Oh? It seems that Zhuge Liang has temporarily escaped. Okay, order your bodyguard to follow me down to the tunnel to pursue me! Order General Li Dian to lead a cavalry group into the woods north of the city to search! "Cao Chong is chasing Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang must have just entered the tunnel. When Cao Chong follows him, Zhuge Liang will never dare to touch the tunnel's mechanism, otherwise everyone will die. "Nuo! "Cao Chong led his guards into the tunnel and pursued them all the way to the woods outside the city. "Sir, are there no traps in the tunnel? "Cao Chong led the tiger and leopard cavalry to the ground. There were no traps in the tunnel. "Hmph, it seems that Zhuge Liang has reached the end of his strength. He didn't even set up a trap in the tunnel. He must have escaped in a hurry. "Cao Chong showed a proud smile, Zhuge Liang, where are you running? Cao Chong led the people into the woods, and soon Cao Chong discovered that this was a formation, a simple five-element maze. Cao Chong learned magic from Xun You in his early years This small formation is a piece of cake for Cao Chong. Under the leadership of Cao Chong, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry came to the center of the woods. "Master Chong, look! "One of the guards pointed ahead. There was a big tombstone in front of him!" "Tombstone?" Cao Chong followed the guard's hand and looked over. A large tombstone reads: Cao Chong¡¯s Tomb in four large characters. This tombstone is a bit strange. It is not made of stone, but looks like a huge piece of pure iron. Suddenly, two long arrows were shot out from the tombstone. "Sir, be careful!" The soldier shot down the long arrow. At the same time, the trap was triggered, and after bursts of roar, Cao Chong's army was actually in a formation. "Master, what are your feet?" Cao Chong looked at the soles of his feet. Under the muddy soil, there were rows of iron wires arranged neatly. Suddenly a giant lightning flashed across the sky, and Cao Chong was struck by lightning before he could react., none of the soldiers around him were spared. PS: Thank you all for your support.
