Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Chapter 3 The Battle of Wancheng

The next morning, outside the city of Xudu, Cao Jun camped.

According to the order of historical development, Cao Cao will attack Wancheng in the second year of Jian'an, which is this time.

Early in the morning, Cao Cao arrived at the barracks. Accompanied by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, he made a tour first, and then assembled the army to attack Wancheng.

For some reason, Cao Cao felt uneasy whenever he thought of what Chen Yang had said.

"Prime Minister, are you still thinking about what that kid said yesterday?" At this moment, Dian Wei came to Cao Cao's side and saw through his worries.

"It's better to be careful." Cao Cao said lightly.

"What does he know? If you hadn't stopped me, Prime Minister, I would have broken his neck yesterday!" Dian Wei said murderously.

Cao Cao shook his head slightly and stopped talking.

Next, the army started to set off, and the mighty army left Xudu and headed for Wancheng.

At this time, under the banner of the Chinese Army, there was another boy in his twenties who was also wearing a battle armor and looked very heroic. He was Cao Ang.

Cao Cao was sitting on the top of the horse, talking with Cao Ang about the situation in the world.

"Zixiu, what do you think is the result of this Wancheng battle?" Cao Cao unconsciously thought of Chen Yang again.

Cao Ang thought about it seriously for a while: "Zhang Xiu will surrender!"

"Oh!"

Cao Cao was a little surprised and asked: "You also think he will surrender, why?"

What Cao Ang said was just a joke, he said casually: "Father's army is overwhelming, how can he not surrender?"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Good!"

The army continued to advance, and after a few days, it finally came under Wancheng.

However, before the war started, just as Chen Yang said, Zhang Xiu led the crowd to surrender.

Cao Cao was overjoyed, there is nothing more refreshing than winning without a fight, but at the same time he was shocked.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu really surrendered, even Dian Wei's face changed slightly, something was wrong.

"Prime Minister, I think that kid was lucky enough to guess correctly." Dian Wei still didn't believe it.

"Maybe!" Cao Cao nodded, and said again, "Come on, if there is any change tonight, you can order people to set fire to the camp and send a message to Zhongkang and the others."

Cao Cao's expression was extremely serious. He called Xu Chu and others, and said: "Tonight, you stay outside the city. As soon as you see a fire burning inside the city, attack the city immediately. I'm afraid Zhang Xiu is cheating."

"Yes!" Xu Chu nodded immediately.

When you enter the city, you must be fully prepared.

Dian Wei said, "Prime Minister, I don't think it's necessary."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said, "Not necessarily. Tonight, we will follow what the shopkeeper said. I want to see if Zhang Xiu will turn back after surrendering. Maybe Zhang Xiu is really pretending to surrender."

Dian Wei asked in bewilderment: "What if Zhang Xiu can't rebel, but is forced to rebel by the prime minister?"

Cao Cao sneered: "Then it proves that this person has a rebellious heart. Rebellion is a matter of time, why not get rid of it in advance? Even if you kill the wrong person, it doesn't matter. I would rather blame others than others."

"Tonight, you should first discuss with Zixiu how to deal with this matter."

"Enter the city!"

Dian Wei didn't believe Chen Yang's words, but this was Cao Cao's order, so he could only go to Cao Ang and briefly explain Chen Yang's affairs.

"This man is talking nonsense, dare to bluntly say that the general and I will die, and I will kill him when we go back to Xudu!" Cao Ang cursed immediately after hearing this.

"I think so too, but the prime minister just wants to listen to him." Dian Wei shook his head helplessly.

Next, the development of things in Wancheng was exactly as Chen Yang told them. Cao Cao hosted a banquet for Zhang Xiu and others, and rewarded Hu Che'er with a lot of gold and silver.

The most important thing is that Cao Cao really took Madam Zou away.

But Dian Wei was constantly being fed alcohol. With Cao Cao's order, Dian Wei didn't dare to drink too much, and kept a little sober all the time.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Dian Wei pretended to be drunk, and ordered the soldiers around him to help him go back to the tent to rest.

It was already late at night, and the tent was very quiet, and there was still no trace of Zhang Xiu's rebellion, Dian Wei felt even more disdainful.

How can you believe someone who opens a tavern?

He must look good when I go back!

"Prime Minister trusts others too easily." Dian Wei complained in his heart.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside, and then Dian Wei saw a sneaky figure approaching his tent.

Dian Wei just wanted to ask who was outside, but after a second thought, he simply pretended to be drunk and slept on the bed.

Soon, the tent was opened.

"General Dian!"

That was the voice of Hu Che'er under Zhang Xiu's command.

Hu Che'er walked in cautiously, and when he came to Dian Wei's side, he called out again.

Seeing that Dian Wei was unconscious and didn't know he was coming, Hu Che'er smiled triumphantly, and reached out to take Dian Wei's halberds.

Dian Wei pretended to be unconscious, but there was already a storm in his heart, and a sentence sounded in his mind:

Dian Wei without the double halberds is like a poisonous snake without fangs, which can only show off its power, but has no lethality and cannot be fierce.

Now, if Hu Che'er really came to steal the halberd while he was drunk, would the tavern manager say he was right?

Thinking of this, Dian Wei suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Sensing the movement around him, Dian Wei stood up abruptly, put his hands on his halberds, looked directly at Hu Che'er, and said coldly, "What do you want to do?"

Hu Che'er was so frightened that he lost his mind, let go of his hand and took several steps back: "Dian...General Dian, why are you awake?"

Dian Wei said in a cold voice: "Of course you hope that I will never wake up. If my guess is correct, Zhang Xiu will be reversed, right?"

Their plot was directly exposed by Dian Wei, Hu Che'er trembled all over, turned around and ran away.

"Want to run?"

Dian Wei gave a loud shout and chased after him. He swept across with his halberd, blowing Hu Che'er's head off.

At this time, Dian Wei was completely awake from the wine, and his hands holding the double halberds were shaking.

Just a little bit, the matter is serious, and I really must die.

Zhang Xiu surrendered first and then rebelled, the tavern shopkeeper knew things like a god.

The more he thought about it, the more grateful Dian Wei felt to Chen Yang, and the more he felt ashamed for his disdain.

After Dian Wei came to his senses, he immediately rushed out of the tent and shouted: "The whole army is assembled, Zhang Xiu is about to rebel, come and set fire to me!"

He yelled like this, and suddenly woke up many people.

"General, what happened?"

Cao Ang, who hadn't fallen asleep, was the first to find him.

"Zhang Xiu surrendered first, and then rebelled. My son, go to the prime minister."

Dian Wei didn't have time to explain, he hastily assembled soldiers, prepared to protect Cao Cao and kill him.

Cao Ang also knew that something was wrong, so he immediately went outside Cao Cao's tent.

"Father, run! Zhang Xiu is going to rebel!" Cao Ang didn't care too much, and shouted outside.

Cao Cao just took Madam Zou away, but he didn't have sex with Madam Zou out of concern for tonight's safety.

Hearing Cao Ang shouting outside, Cao Cao put on his battle armor and walked out of the tent.

However, at this moment, Cao Cao heard a sound of shouting and killing near the camp.

Then someone shouted: "Cao Cao is here, kill him!"

Dozens of soldiers rushed out and surrounded Cao Cao.

Cao Cao pulled Cao Ang and ran away, and the soldiers caught up immediately.

"Prime Minister, don't panic, Dian Wei is here!"

Then, Dian Wei's angry shout came.

Cao Cao was overjoyed after hearing this!

Next, they fled while killing, and Dian Wei led the soldiers to cut off the rear.

Before leaving, Cao Cao ordered Cao Ang to bring some more horses in case of emergencies.

Just as they rushed out of the barracks, a row of arrows rained down, and three sharp arrows just penetrated Cao Cao's mount Jueying.

Cao Cao was thrown out on the spot, and he stood up in embarrassment, hiding behind the horse's body, avoiding the rain of arrows.

"Father, get on the horse!"

Cao Ang said loudly, and brought his horse to Cao Cao's side.

Seeing Jueying's body, Cao Cao was shocked again, and the tavern owner told him he was right again.

He secretly cried out for danger.

Despite Cao Cao's preparations, Zhang Xiu and others pursued and fought fiercely, and they escaped in a very embarrassing situation.

At the same time, the gate of Wancheng became lively.

Seeing the flames inside, Xu Chu immediately ordered people to attack the city.

After fighting until midnight, Cao Cao and others finally joined Xu Chu and the others.

Then, the turmoil in Wancheng was quelled.

Zhang Xiu knew that Cao Cao was not dead, and that his own situation was over, so he followed Jia Xu's advice, abandoned the city and fled, and took refuge in Jingzhou Liu Biao.

"The shopkeeper of the tavern is so good at predicting things!"

After Cao Cao escaped from the dead, he thought about what Chen Yang had said, and suddenly he was covered in cold sweat.

Without Chen Yang's reminder, he might be defeated in tonight's battle!

Dian Wei tightened his grip on the halberd. If it weren't for what Chen Yang said, he would have died tonight.

Thinking that he was going to kill Chen Yang, Dian Wei felt so guilty!
