Chapter 190 The fish in the net, the bird in the cage, can't escape no matter what
Chapter 190: The fish in the net and the bird in the cage cannot escape no matter what.
Xuzhou, Xiapi City.
Cao Cao rushed back from Youjian Villa and faced the high-walled Xiapi City. He changed from normal. He did not use Qingzhou soldiers or armored tiger and leopard cavalry. Instead, he reused a magical unit - engineers.
He ordered deep trenches to be dug around Xiapi City...
It was just a matter of digging trenches, but Cao Cao asked that the trenches be dug very wide and very deep, making it look like a big move.
However, this behavior made Lu Bu and Chen Gong in Xiapi City confused?
What is Cao Cao doing?
Digging trenches and garrisoning? Is it going to be a protracted war?
Haha, if we really have to fight a protracted war, of course Lu Bu is not afraid. Xiapi City has plenty of food and grass.
Just when Lu Bu's confidence started to rise again!
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao... ordered the soldiers of the three armies to dig trenches directly to the Surabaya River and Yishui River overnight...
The river backflowed and floods came, and the entire city of Xiapi was flooded in an instant.
At this moment, Cao Jun had already moved to the high ground to enjoy the spectacular scene of water flooding Xiapi.
…
"Mengde, it's done, it's done!" Cao Ren couldn't stop being ecstatic, he even danced a little.
"Hahaha...yes!" Seeing Lu Bu's army being overwhelmed by the water, Cao Cao laughed and seemed to be in a good mood.
After ten breaths of time, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and murmured, "Brother Yi really has a wonderful plan to seize Xuzhou!"
In Cao Cao's view...
The development of the situation is exactly the same as Yi Xiaotian's plan.
Spring is here, everything revives, even the ice on the Si River and the Yishui River melts away. Xuzhou encounters continuous rains in the spring, and the water level rises. It doesn't even take much effort to dig trenches and cause floods.
At this time, Lu Bu was really like a fish in a net or a bird in a cage, unable to escape no matter what.
"Mengde, let me lead the army to attack the city by boat. At this time, the siege will definitely be a complete victory!"
Cao Ren took the initiative to ask for help. Now the situation is great. Lu Bu's three armies have too much to take care of themselves. How can they defend the city? If they only need some small boats, Xiapi City will definitely fall!
"not busy…"
Contrary to Cao Ren's eagerness to achieve great results, Cao Cao seemed very calm.
"Brother Yi mentioned that half of the eight strong generals have long had a quarrel with Lu Bu, especially Hou Cheng, who was beaten to death by Lu Bu because of his share of wine and meat. Let's give them the credit for capturing Lu Bu.
!Hahaha... The right way is like dog bites dog - a mouth full of hair!"
At this point, Cao Cao laughed again.
It turned out that after Cao Cao returned, he sent a special agent to investigate the fact that Hou Cheng, one of the eight strong generals, was severely beaten by Lu Bu.
Sure enough, it's true!
It's just that the information is very secret. If Cao Cao hadn't spent a lot of money, he really wouldn't have gotten this information.
It turns out that it is exactly the same as what Yi Xiaotian described.
Hou Cheng's retainers wanted to surrender to Liu Bei, so they stole Hou Cheng's fifteen horses and fled in a hurry. After Hou Cheng recovered them, he hosted a banquet for everyone, and all the officials came to congratulate him...
Precisely because of the prohibition on alcohol signed by Lu Bu, Hou Cheng was inexplicably beaten and scolded, which caused a huge psychological burden on his heart.
Hou Cheng was even worried that Lu Bu was so vindictive that he would be beheaded if he couldn't protect everything.
"Cao Sikong, shopkeeper Yi didn't say that Ba Jian will capture Lu Bu and sacrifice Xiapi City, right?" Jia Xu couldn't help but said...
"Haha... Mr. Jia, Mr. Jia!" Cao Cao laughed out loud again. "Brother Yi didn't know the point clearly, but doesn't that mean every sentence? I have been in contact with Brother Yi for so long, and what he meant behind his words, I
How could Cao Cao not understand?"
At this point, Cao Cao reached out and patted Jia Xu's shoulder gently, and then patted Cao Ren's shoulder. "Just take a look. In less than three days, there will be eight capable generals dedicated to the city!"
Cao Cao spoke firmly, and his eyes flashed with confidence.
Brother Yi has made the situation clear and clear. How can he, Cao Cao, be a pedant?
Although he is not as insightful as Brother Yi, Cao Cao's vision for the development of the situation is also extremely sharp!
…
…
Xuzhou, inside Xiapi City.
The water is getting higher and higher, destroying Lu Bu and Chen Gong... but also torturing Hou Cheng's soul.
He is hesitant, he is at a loss...
The scars from Lu Bu's severe blow had just faded, but the trauma in his soul was getting wider and wider.
He can't wait any longer. If Cao Cao's army really breaks the city, then he will be reduced to Lu Bu's party, and he will not be able to protect himself. If Cao Cao is unhappy, he will die.
How to do it?
Lu Bu is unkind, why should he talk about loyalty?
"Lü Bu must be captured in advance, and Lu Bu must be dedicated to Cao Cao. In this way... I will spend the rest of my life... only then will I be prosperous and wealthy!"
Once this thought arose, Hou Cheng could no longer calm down. He hurriedly contacted his friends Wei Xu and Song Xian.
The three set up a special operations team with a clear division of labor. Some went to steal Lu Bu's Red Rabbit Horse, some went to steal Lu Bu's Fangtian Painted Halberd... and some went to capture Lu Bu's counselor Chen Gong. Then the situation was decided.
Raise the flag and surrender!
Hua Hua Hua...
Floods are still raging throughout Xiapi City...
However, what is more terrifying than the flood is the human heart... When everyone's trust in the lord is completely shattered, an undercurrent of rebellion is inevitable!
Lu Bu never dreamed of...
The person who betrayed him in the end was not Cao Cao, but the group of brothers around him who had carried guns and had sex together!
…
When he heard that Chen Gong had been captured by the rebels, Lu Bu completely collapsed.
He took his soldiers with him and climbed up to the White Gate Tower. When he looked around, he felt as if black clouds were approaching to destroy the city.
Countless Cao troops rowed boats and swarmed over.
At this moment, the city of Xiapi is filled with torrential floods... Where are the tribesmen under my command? Not to mention the tribesmen, even my own Fang Tian Hua Ji and my own Red Rabbit Horse are nowhere to be found.
There are only three or two "kittens" around him, and among them is Gao Shun, the former commander of the trapped camp who was unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness, but whom Lu Bu never reused...
"Commander Gao, cut off my head and go to Cao Cao to seek a way out!" Lu Bu was desperate... His voice was extremely low and thin, even as thin as a gossamer in the end...
He didn't want to die, but he felt sorry for Gao Shun and these unparalleled loyal soldiers.
At this moment, Gao Shun was silent and motionless, as if he was living and dying with Lu Bu.
This scene appeared in Lu Bu's eyes. Lu Bu let out a long sigh, simply walked down from the Baimen Tower, opened the city gate himself, and asked Cao Cao to surrender...
If you lose, you lose!
Lu Bu completely accepted the reality.
Cao Cao took the initiative with every step he took, and hit the vital point with every step he took. He deserved to be defeated... In terms of judging the overall situation, he was really, really no match for Cao Cao!
A generation of flying generals is about to experience the greatest disaster in his life.
