Chapter 329
After hearing Chen Gong's words, Liu Bei couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "If so, the big thing can be settled! Yun Chang, hurry up and arrange an ambush for the soldiers according to the plan of the public platform!"

"yes, Sir!"

Guan Yu took the order to go, Liu Bei asked Chen Gong: "Gongtai, let us go prepare an ambush too."

Chen Gong waved his hands and said, "No, if we all leave Ximen, Cao Cao's suspicion will be aroused, and he won't be fooled."

Liu Bei nodded, agreed with Chen Gong's words, but asked, "Then what shall we do now?"

"You don't need to do anything, just wait and see from the top of the city, so that Cao Bing can see us." Chen Gong said.

Liu Bei nodded, stood up immediately, and walked to the battlements to look around. An anxious look appeared on his face, which was clearly seen by Cao Cao's soldiers below the city.

Seeing this, the sergeant hurried back to Cao Cao's camp, and told Cao Cao everything he saw.

After hearing this, Cao Cao laughed loudly and said, "Liu Bei is in my plan, and I will take Chen Liu tonight!"

The generals nearby looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine Cao Cao was selling in the gourd. In the end, Xiahou Dun stepped forward and asked, "I don't know what to do if Liu Bei wins the lord?"

Cao Cao laughed again, in a good mood, and explained: "I went around the city of Chenliu and observed that the color of the city wall at the east gate is different from other places. It must be a newly built place and it is easy to break through. The moat is not as wide as in other directions, and you only need to take a high ladder to pass over the wall."

"Since this is the case, why did my lord send troops to attack Ximen? Isn't this a waste of troops?" Xiahou Dun asked puzzled.

Cao Cao laughed, and said, "This is exactly my plan to strike east and west!"

When Xiahou Dun heard it, he immediately understood, and said: "Then Liu Bei mistakenly thought that the lord was going to attack the west gate, and the generals were sent there. At night, our army went to attack the east gate. In this way, Liu Bei will be caught off guard. , we can seize the opportunity to seize Chen Liucheng!"

"Yuan Rang is right, that's exactly it!" Cao Cao laughed.

Cheng Yu beside him frowned and said, "Master, then Chen Gong has always been scheming, what should I do if I see through my master's plan?"

Before Cao Cao could speak, Xiahou Dun said first, "Why should Zhongde be worried? Didn't the sergeant just say that Liu Bei and Chen Gong are still on the west gate wall, looking devastated, how could they see through the lord's plan? "

Cao Cao laughed and said, "That's right, then Liu Bei is tired of dealing with Ximen's attack, and he doesn't have the heart to think about other things."

Although Cheng Yu felt something was wrong, Xiahou Dun and Cao Cao's words made him unable to refute, so he had to keep silent.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Cao Cao ordered the soldiers who were going to attack the west gate to withdraw, and started cooking in the camp, preparing to attack the city at night.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, the scouts from General Cao Cao called and said, "Go to Ximen to investigate and see what Liu Bei's army is doing!"

The scout followed the orders, flew under the city wall of Ximen, approached cautiously.

I saw crowds of people moving on the city wall, flags fluttering, and the sound of cheers came from time to time.

The scout raised his head cautiously, looked towards the city wall, and saw a man in armor walking on the city wall, his shape looked like Liu Bei.

After waiting for a while, the scout returned to Cao Cao's camp.Cao Cao is still waiting for his reply.

Without further hesitation, the scout rushed back to Cao Cao's army camp to meet Cao Cao.

"What is Ximen Liu Bei's army doing?" Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.

The scout clasped his fists and quickly replied: "My lord, there are enemy troops all over the city wall of Ximen, clamoring and shouting, full of momentum!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and then asked, "Have you ever seen Liu Bei?"

"Above the city wall, the fire was flickering, and it was not clear. I saw only one person walking around the wall. His clothes seemed to be the same as Liu Bei's. Moreover, one of his sleeves was empty and fluttered in the wind." The scout reported truthfully.

After Cao Cao heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "This man must be Liu Bei, and my plan has come true!"

"My lord, please give the order to attack the city quickly, we can't wait!" Xiahou Dun stepped forward and said.

Cao Cao nodded and said in a loud voice: "The generals obey the order, gather the troops, and go straight to the east gate of Chenliu City. The city will be broken tonight!"

"Order!"

After the order was conveyed, Cao Cao's army set out, with a man in his head and a horse bound in his feet. Taking advantage of the night, they moved towards the east gate of Chenliu City.

After arriving at the east gate, everyone looked at the city wall, but they saw it was pitch black, and there was no one.

"My lord, the situation doesn't seem right. Why is there no one on the city wall? Is there a fraud?" Yu Jin frowned and said to Cao Cao.

Xiahou Dun who was next to him said first: "There are not many enemy troops in Chenliu City. During the day, our army mostly attacked and harassed the west gate. Liu Bei must have mobilized the defenders. This is just convenient for us to attack the city."

Yu Jin shook his head and said: "Liu Bei is treacherous, Chen Gong is so wise, it is impossible not to leave soldiers to defend the city."

Cao Cao stared at the city wall for a long time and said: "According to the news sent back by the scouts, Liu Bei is at the west gate at the moment, and deliberately set the east gate as unguarded. It's not Liu Bei's main force, it's still a good time for us to break through the city!"

"My lord, what are you waiting for, give the order to attack the city!" Xiahou Dun shouted.

Cao Cao nodded and said: "All generals obey the order and attack the city with me!"

When Yu Jin heard this, he quickly said: "The lord is a body of ten thousand gold, you must not take the risk yourself, and let us climb over the city wall and open the gate, and the lord will enter the city soon."

After thinking for a while, Cao Cao nodded and said, "Wen Ze is right, how about this, Yuan Rang and Wen Ze lead the army to attack the city wall, and after entering the city, open the city gate!"

"Order!"

Therefore, Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin led the troops and began to attack the city.

Since the moat is the narrowest in this section, Cao Bing directly put the high ladder on the city wall and began to climb.

Without the enemy's hindrance, Cao Bing quickly climbed over the city wall, and Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin also came to the city wall one after another.

Xiahou Dun looked around and saw that there were no defenders. He laughed and said, "Wen Ze, you are too timid. Where is there an ambush here?"

"It's better to be careful. We have fought Liu Bei many times, and we have won and lost each other. We can't underestimate this person." Yu Jin said cautiously.

Xiahou Dun obviously didn't take Yu Jin's words to heart, curled his lips and said, "Wen Ze really thinks highly of that one-armed Liu, let's see, I will capture Liu Bei tonight!"

After finishing speaking, Xiahou Dun ignored Yu Jin and led his troops to rush down the city wall, trying to capture Liu Bei as quickly as possible.

Seeing Xiahou Dun's impatience, Yu couldn't help sighing, and quickly led the troops to avoid accidents.
