With a loud shout, Cao Peng suddenly opened his eyes.
The forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and the heart was pounding. Several tooth soldiers rushed into the tent and saw Cao Peng sitting dumbly in front of the commander's case. They couldn't help but feel extremely nervous.
"Sir, what happened?"
Cao Peng took a deep breath, tried to calm down his fluctuating emotions, and waved his hands: "It's okay, I just had a nightmare. You can go down."
The tooth soldiers looked at each other and bowed out of the military tent.
Cao Peng stood up, walked to the corner of the tent, splashed his face with water from the pottery basin, and finally calmed down.
What a weird dream!
He closed his eyes and took a long time to calm down completely.
A nightmare...a nightmare indeed!
Just now, he dreamed that Huang Yueying appeared in front of him covered in blood, holding out her hands and calling to him. However, even though she was so close, he couldn't hear what Huang Yueying was saying. Just when he rushed over,
A wall of fire suddenly rose between the two of them...
This dream is really weird!
It was strange that when Cao Peng recalled it, he still felt like he was dripping with cold sweat.
What on earth is going on? How could such a dream occur? Cao Peng sat down on the handsome chair and couldn't think about it for a long time.
"Someone is coming!"
"Here!"
A tooth soldier ran in and bowed in salute.
"What news has come from Jiyang?"
"No!"
Ya Bing replied: "Before night, General Yuande sent a message saying that he was about to arrive in Jiyang.
So far, there has been no news... but according to the itinerary, General Yuande and his companions must have arrived in Jiyang County."
"Well..." Cao Peng closed his eyes, and after a while he suddenly asked again: "Is there any news about Wu Yin?"
"No."
"Let's go down."
By the time the Ya soldiers exited the military tent, Cao Peng had completely calmed down.
The so-called thinking during the day and dreaming at night is roughly like this. Although he denied Deng Ai's conjecture, in his heart, he still had some concerns about Liu Bei. Although he still doesn't know why Liu Bei
He will suddenly go crazy and use troops like crazy, but after thinking about it, he must have his purpose.
Guan Xing was shot and killed by Fu Huan, but it is not known to anyone.
After all, the second son of Brother Guan didn't know many people. Fu Wei only vaguely guessed that the person Fu Yi shot must be an important person, but he didn't expect that the young general was actually
Guan Yu's son. If he knew that the person who was killed was Guan Yu's second son, then Cao Peng would definitely have other ideas. However, so far, including Deng Zhi, he has not figured out who the young general who was shot was.
What identity... It was precisely for this reason that Cao Peng felt a little baffled.
Logically speaking, Liu Bei should not use troops at this time!
Judging from his previous troop formations, Liu Bei was more considering establishing a foothold in Wancheng and stabilizing the situation in Nanyang County...
Isn't this guy afraid of being scolded by Liu Biao?
Cao Peng patted his forehead, stood up, and wandered in the military tent.
The Kuai Yue brothers have leaned towards him. But this does not mean that Liu Biao really does not dare to use troops.
As a prince who dominated Jingxiang in the early years, Liu Biao naturally had his ambitions. However, his pattern was destined, and he could not devour the world. However, being able to become a prince on his own in such a chaotic era also shows that Liu Biao was
People are extraordinary.
I heard that Liu Biao's health improved greatly after spring.
Could it be that this guy has other ideas?
What Cao Peng is most worried about now is that Liu Biao has made any changes. This guy has been in control of the nine counties of Jingxiang for more than ten years, and he is deeply rooted and powerful. If Liu Biao jumps out to cause trouble at this time, it will definitely have a huge impact on the Liaodong war situation, and even make it worse.
Cao Cao fell short of success.
But the question is, does Liu Jingsheng have the courage?
If it were another person, such as Sun Quan or Liu Bei, Cao Peng would definitely be wary of him.
But for now, Sun Quan has not done much. This is mainly because Cao Cao established the three counties of Huainan last year to curb Sun Quan's expansion. It is said that Gan Ning, Tai Shici and others have clashed many times.
There is a winner or lose, but it is now a stalemate.
Sun Quan did not move, but Liu Bei was unable to move.
Or could it be said that Liu Biao was bewitched and that's why he took this action?
Cao Peng was silent in thought, returned to Shuai's case and sat down.
He picked up a memorial at random, opened it and took a look at it.
This memorial comes from a report by Deng Zhi. In the memorial, Deng Zhi explained in detail the current situation in Jiyang and talked about Liu Bei's mobilization of troops.
In this memorial, Deng Zhi said: Liu Bei continued to send more troops to Jiyang.
Liu Bei's army camp at Nanjiu Ju Ferry has soldiers and horses stationed every day...According to the observations of the scouts, Nanjiu Ju camp is constantly expanding, and soldiers and horses can be seen entering every day during the day. According to Deng Zhi's rough
It is estimated that since Guan Ping set up camp in Nanjiu Ju Camp, the number of people in Nanjiu Ju Camp has increased by at least 30,000... Such a large number of soldiers and horses stationed in Nanjiu Ju Camp has indeed put pressure on Jiyang.
Wait!
Cao Peng suddenly narrowed his eyes.
More than 30,000 people?
How many troops does Liu Bei have in total?
It is estimated that it is only 40,000 to 50,000 people... Now, Liu Bei has stationed at least more than 10,000 people in Bowang and Xi'e counties. In other words, Liu Bei has invested almost all his troops in Jiyang? This
Impossible! If so, wouldn’t Wancheng be empty?
With Liu Bei's temperament, it is absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing.
If Liu Biao was also involved, then Liu Bei would not need to invest all his troops; if Liu Biao was not involved, Liu Bei would not dare to invest so many troops. Deng Zhi said, Nanjuju is constantly deploying more troops. If it weren't for Liu Bei
If he really gave it his all, Deng Zhi must have been fooled.
Cao Peng vaguely remembered that He Jin recruited Dong Zhuo to the capital, but before Dong Zhuo arrived, He Jin was killed by Shi Changshi...
After Dong Zhuo led his forward army to Luoyang, he was not very powerful. In order to deceive others, Dong Zhuo ordered his troops to leave the city at night and enter the city during the day, giving the princes the illusion of constantly increasing their troops. He took the opportunity to annex He Jin's troops, and then
That's why there was an act of chaos.
Could it be said that Liu Bei is now imitating Dong Zhuo?
The more Cao Peng thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.
But the question is, what is Liu Bei’s purpose in making this illusion?
He would never create such an illusion simply to capture Jiyang... He gathered a large camp in the south and used all his troops. It must be to hide something. But what exactly was he hiding? Cao Peng also had some
I couldn't understand it, and I couldn't help but feel panic in my heart.
"Someone is coming!"
Following Cao Peng's order, the Ya soldiers entered the account again.
"Come to the map immediately."
"Here!"
The tooth soldier hurriedly left the military tent without saying a word.
After a while, a map of Nanyang was hung in the center of the military tent.
Cao Peng walked to the map and checked it carefully. He did not use a charcoal pen to draw paths on the map. Gradually, a look of solemnity appeared on his face. Liu Bei was not going to fight Ji Yang.
His real intention is to start an all-out war with himself. In other words, Liu Bei's move to gather in the south is just a trick. His real intention is...
Cao Peng used charcoal to draw a circle at the location of Wuyin County.
He clenched his hand into a fist and slammed it on the desk. He gritted his teeth and said, "Come here, give me my order to assemble the troops and get ready to leave."
That must be it!
Liu Bei used Ji Yang as cover to attack Wu Yin secretly.
No, Wuyin County is now empty of troops. Isn’t it dangerous?
Cao Peng seemed to understand the meaning of the dream, and immediately made a decision to lead his troops back to Wuyin County to aid. But just when he was about to take down the map and put on his armor, he suddenly stopped. He suddenly
Standing in front of the map and looking at it carefully for a long time, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and his face suddenly turned pale. Liu Bei was planning a conspiracy in Jiyang just to attack Wuyin County?
wrong!
Liu Xuande's plan is definitely more than that.
Guan Ping gathered a camp in the south, which opened the door to the east bank of Ji River for Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's mobilization of troops will never be just to provide cover for Wu Yin, otherwise he would not need to mobilize troops and horses in such a troublesome manner...
The most likely thing is that Liu Bei had other plans.
After the Nanjiu ferry is captured, Liu Bei's troops can march straight in from Southeast Yang County.
If I come back to support Wuyin now...
Cao Peng used a charcoal pen to draw a circle on Bishui Beach. Maybe Liu Bei had quietly sneaked into Southeast Yang County and hid at the head of Bishui Beach, waiting for his return.
clever!
Cao Peng couldn't help but secretly sigh at Liu Bei's brilliant methods.
He is worthy of being called Cao Cao's number one enemy. There is a plan within this plan, one link after another. As long as you are a little negligent, you may fall into Liu Bei's trap. What a brilliant strategy! I just don't know that this series of schemes is from
Was it Liu Bei's handwriting or Zhuge Liang's design?
Thinking of this, a cold look flashed in Cao Peng's eyes.
"Sir, why did you suddenly mobilize troops and horses?"
Just as Cao Peng was thinking about it, Lu Hao burst into the tent, panting.
"Zizhang, you came just in time."
When Cao Peng saw Lu Hao coming in, his eyes suddenly lit up, "I have something to do, and I need your cooperation to do it. Please don't refuse, Zizhang."
When Lu Mao heard this, he couldn't help being startled and blurted out: "Sir, what exactly do you need Mao's help for?"

Its daybreak!
Under Wuyin City, there are many flags, covering the sky and the sun.
Yang Xi led Cai Di and Deng Ai and stood at the top of Wuyin City and looked into the distance. They saw densely packed soldiers standing in formation in the city.
I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Yang Xi turned around and said softly to Lu Yu and Pu Yangyi who had come to the city to watch the battle: "It looks like Liu Xuande is going to fight us to the death."
Pu Yangyi's expression remained as usual, while Lu Yu still looked calm and leisurely.
After the two looked at each other, they smiled slightly and said, "Although Liu Xuande is powerful, it is not easy to capture Wu Yin.
Zilu, Wuyin City Gate will be handed over to you. The two of us will try our best to stabilize the mood of the people in the city... Today is the time for us to establish our achievements."
"In this case, I'll leave matters in the city to you two."
Yang Ye and Lu Yupu Yangyi bowed their hands, and then asked in a deep voice: "Can the Eight Ox Crossbow be properly placed?"
"Don't worry, Commander. Thirty eight-oxen crossbows have been installed in Wuyin City. Please follow the Commander's orders."
"In this case...Xiao Ai and Xiao Di, I will leave the Eight Ox Crossbow to you two. As soon as I give the order, you two will be ready to launch."
"Here!"
When Deng Ai and Cai Di heard this, they were overjoyed.
Next to the two men, each led two secret warriors and took their positions with crossbowmen from Xingyang.
Deng Ai held a mallet in his hand and felt his heart pounding. Seeing the dense enemy troops under the city, he was nervous and excited at the same time!
