Chen Wu originally just wanted to give it a try and take a detour if he couldn't get in. However, Tang Yu mentioned that Cao Jun was also pretending to be a fake. If he couldn't prove it and walked away, it would make the Hefei defenders suspicious.

Unfortunately, Chen Wu left in a hurry and did not have any identity documents at this time, and he did not have the distinctive appearance of Sun Quan.

Seeing Chen Wu lowering his head and hesitating, Tang Yu on the city began to get angry: "It seems that General Chen is in trouble? Isn't it Cao Jun pretending to be Jiangdong Army?"

Why is this idiot in the city pretending to be Jiang Dongjun?

Not only are we pretending to be the Hefei Army, but this general is also pretending to be your master.

Chen Wu complained crazily in his heart, but on the surface he had to respond politely: "I am really Jiangdong Chen Wu, what is Cao Cao doing pretending to be us?"

"That's hard to say. But since you are so persistent, let me ask you a simple question. There is a novelty in Wu County recently. It is expensive but has magical effects. If you can guess it,"

Before Tang Yi could finish what he said, Chen Wu immediately grabbed the question and asked, "Did Governor Tang talk about women's underwear?"

"You actually"

Tang Wei saw that Chen Wu was young, but he had paid attention to such an expensive thing? It seemed that his relationship with Sun Quan was quite good. He couldn't help but turned around and looked back, only to see that Lu Su and others had strange looks.

After receiving a nod from Long Xiang, Tang Hui looked at Chen Wu with understanding: "It turns out that this man is really a general from Jiangdong. This thing is only sold secretly in Hefei and Wu County. It seems that General Chen is also a man of temperament."

Not only does Chen Wu know what underwear is, he also ordered two sets for his beautiful wife. The purchase price is really ridiculously expensive, but after wearing them, it really makes people's blood flow.

At this time, seeing Tang Yu confirming his identity, he hurriedly urged the other party to let him enter the city. He thought that Zhang Liao's pursuers were coming soon, and if he continued to delay, his secret might be revealed.

"Now that my identity has been confirmed, can I open the city gate?"

"I'm so sorry."

Tang Wei shook his head slightly and explained seriously: "General Long has not returned from his trip. I can't make the decision for him. Why don't General Chen wait?"

"Ah? Such an unlucky thing?"

Chen Wu looked surprised, but in his heart he scolded Tang Yu countless times, thinking that since Long Xiang was not in the city, why are you pretending to confirm his identity here?

"The military situation is urgent. Since General Long is not here, I won't bother you anymore and take my leave."

Chen Wuyan then turned his horse around and signaled to his troops to take a detour to Hefei and leave. It was impossible to wait any longer, and the pursuers at the rear would not let him wait.

Tang Wei scratched his head when he saw this. He didn't believe that Chen Wu could be sent away so easily.

After a while, Long Xiang and Lu Su stepped forward in unison.

Seeing Chen Wu "obediently" leaving, and moving quickly around the Hefei city wall, as if he was really taking the road to the north, Long Xiang couldn't help but frown and fell into thought.

Lu Su immediately expressed his opinion: "Chen Wu is young and handsome, and he just used the banner of dragon character. Is it possible that he is pretending to be Yunqi?"

"Fake me? What's the point?" Long Xiang looked confused.

Lu Su frowned and shook his head: "I don't know yet."

Long Xiang did not get too entangled, but ordered Tang Yu and Xu Chu to strictly guard the four gates and monitor whether Chen Wu had really left.

Watching Tang Hui and Xu Chu walk down the city tower, Long Xiang and Lu Su discussed the surrounding situation on the spot. Unfortunately, there was no map on the city tower and they could not deduce, so they planned to return to the captain's mansion to continue.

At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly pointed outside the city and shouted excitedly:

"General Long, Mr. Lu, there is a serious situation. An army has come from the south, with countless soldiers."

"What?"

Long Xiang was excited when he heard this. He took the telescope from Cao Xing, pointed it towards the south and immediately began to observe. Sure enough, he found a large group of soldiers marching towards Hefei.

Lu Su held on to the wall bricks and looked up, but because the distance was too far, he couldn't see clearly, so he asked Long Xiang for confirmation: "Did you see it?"

Long Xiang observed and replied: "Well, judging from their costumes, they should be Cao Cao's army."

"hiss"

Lu Su took a breath of cold air and immediately went to the telescope to observe for himself.

Sure enough, when he saw Cao Jun marching in order, he immediately connected Chen Wu who had left not long ago, and then came to a terrible conclusion.

"Yunqi, maybe this Cao army was brought by Chen Wu to deliberately involve Hefei in the Sun-Cao battle?"

Long Xiang frowned: "I don't know whether it was Sun Quan or Zhou Yu's trick. The Cao army led by Chen Wu was quite large. Cao's thieves couldn't really have fallen into the trap, right? Didn't he have many counselors under his command?"

Lu Su analyzed his beard: "Knowing that you are caught in a trap is the so-called taking advantage of the trap. Hefei lies in the middle of Huainan. Both Sun Quan and Cao Cao want to take it as their own. If Sun Quan really uses your banner to lure the enemy, Cao Cao will use it as your own."

It’s normal to use excuses to push things along.”

"I wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but it seems that we must end up. I just can't figure out why Cao Cao came to Hefei at this time. Didn't he have a big move in the north? Is it also to plot Hefei?"

The more Long Xiang thought about it, the more frightened he became, thinking that he was really going too far this time.

He had seen how Sun Ce and Zhou Yu attacked the city, but he had not learned how to attack the city by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao once besieged Lu Bu in Xiapi, and also attacked Yecheng by force in history. His methods may have been more clever than Sun Ce's.

When Long Xiang was lost in thought, Lu Su woke him up and handed him the telescope.

"This group of Cao's troops is raising flags and flags. Could it be that Cao Cao is here in person? But the generals in front don't look like him. People say that Cao's thieves are short in stature."

"Zhang? Is it Zhang Liao?"

Long Xiang raised the mirror to observe with confusion. Because of the distance, the general in the mirror couldn't see the specific appearance at all, but the outline was indeed very similar to Zhang Liao. I believe he could confirm it if he got closer.

This telescope is a primary product that cannot zoom. The observation distance and clarity are much different from those of later telescopes. However, in this era, it also has the significance of dimensionality reduction.

Long Xiang wanted to increase investment in research and development so that the telescope could play a greater role.

After looking through the mirror for a while, Long Xiang was almost certain that it was Zhang Liao, and Hefei was his lucky city, so he immediately became nervous.

Long Xiang handed the telescope to Lu Su and urged: "It seems that it is really General Zhang Liao. This man killed Ji Ling in Shouchun last year. He is a ruthless character who is difficult to deal with. I don't know if there will be more troops in the future. Zijing hurry up."

Returning to Xincheng to take charge, I'm worried that Bo'an (Xu Ding), Uncle Zhong and the others won't be able to handle it."

"Um."

Lu Su nodded, raised the telescope and shook it: "With this artifact, we can easily see through the enemy's deployment, but the number is small."

"It will be completed gradually in the future."

After comforting him, Long Xiang urged again: "While Zhang Liao is still some distance away, you should go out from the west gate as soon as possible. When you meet Zhong Kang, ask him to come and see me."

"good."

Lu Su bowed his hands to say goodbye and left quickly with Cao Xing.

As time passed, Cao Jun from the south slowly approached Hefei.

The defenders on the city could clearly see the countless flags covering the sky, just like the nobles and nobles going out in a guard of honor.

The flags not only blocked the sky, but also blocked the sight of the defenders. They only felt that there were countless invading enemies, and it was impossible to count them from the ranks from a high position.

Long Xiang looked ahead with a solemn face, wondering why Zhang Liao wanted to engage in such a big battle? Did Cao Cao follow him in person?
