Chapter 278 Tian Feng selfishness, attacking the fortress
"Are you trying to betray the lord!"
Jushou's face darkened, and he asked sharply!
"I've never had such an idea, Mr. Gong and don't frame good people!"
Simpi smiled calmly,
"But people are selfish, so you have to make plans for yourself."
Tian Feng sneered, staring at Xin Pidao,
"Although Bingzhou is gone, my lord still owns the land of the three states! There are still hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. If Cao Mao wants to swallow Hebei, it depends on whether he has the strength!"
"Based on today's discussion, do you think we can defeat Cao Mao?"
Simpi asked back.
Jushou and Tian Feng were silent.
As Simpi said.
Now is the time of life and death, but at the time of today's discussion, Feng Ji is still fighting for power!
Not only did Yuan Shao not stop it, but in the end he even came up with a plan to divide the troops into guards for the sake of reconciliation, which is simply ridiculous!
"The remarks I made with you two today are just out of good intentions, and I hope you two gentlemen will take care of themselves!"
Simpi chuckled, and walked away with his arms folded.
The two left looking at each other in blank dismay, silent for a long time.
It was Tian Feng who spoke first. He frowned and said softly,
"No wonder the people from Yingchuan, led by Xin Ping, Xin Pi, and Xun Chen, no longer easily advise the Lord since Cao Mao withdrew last time."
"Looking at it today, they must have thought of taking refuge in Cao Mao!"
Hearing this, Ju Shou was startled and angry, and said in a hateful voice,
"These people who betrayed the Lord and begged for glory! I'm going to report to the Lord and take them down!"
"No!"
Tian Feng quickly stopped him, shook his head and said,
"With empty words, how do you gain the trust of the lord? I'm afraid it will only increase the lord's suspicion!"
"Then according to you, what should I do?"
"Let's take a look at it slowly. If they really betray the lord, it's not too late to report to the lord."
"we can only do this!"
Ju Shou nodded and sighed helplessly.
The two left Yuan Shao's mansion together, but Tian Feng's eyes showed a trace of complicated emotions.
The reason why he persuaded Jushou was to avoid Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao, but he also had selfish motives.
As Simpi said, people are selfish.
Even Yuan Shao's trusted advisers had private contacts with Cao Mao.
He Tian Feng is not a saint, so naturally he has to think more about himself.
……
The border between Wei County and Hanoi County.
The night is dark.
The walls of the fortress.
A group of Yuan Jun soldiers are in charge of the night watch.
One of the young soldiers whispered to his companions,
"Brother Wang, we are on guard. How can you be lazy and doze off? Are you not afraid of Cao Jun's attack?"
The companion next to him was slightly older, but he smiled disapprovingly,
"What are you kidding? Our fortress is so strong, unless Cao Jun can't think about it, they will definitely send troops from Bingzhou!"
"Okay, just say a few words, don't affect my rest!"
He stretched his waist, leaned against the city gate tower and fell asleep soundly.
However, in the dark night in the distance, a armored pawn appeared quietly like a ghost!
Looking at the precipitous fortress in front of him, Gao Shun couldn't help cursing,
"Yuan Shao is willing to spend all his blood on such a shitty day!"
"Such a fortress, I'm afraid it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars."
Gan Ning at the side sighed and regretted,
"It's a pity, it will be burned tonight!"
"Okay, stop talking and get ready to act!"
Cao Mao, dressed in military uniform, commanded with a stern expression.
Just as Tian Feng and Jushou speculated, Cao Mao was indeed doing the plank road in the open, and the act of keeping the old warehouse in secret!
He deliberately ordered Lu Bu and Guan Yu to rectify the troops in Bingzhou with great fanfare, making a gesture of attacking Wei County from Changshan Kingdom!
After attracting Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses to Changshan Kingdom, he will quietly lead the troops to raid the fortress!
After Cao Mao gave an order, a group of soldiers in black, holding barrels of black powder, quietly touched the corner of the fortress in the dark.
The soldiers headed by Brother Wang on the city wall never expected anyone to approach them.
In addition, this fortress is built on the mountain, and the whole body is made of bricks and wood.
Therefore, Cao Jun's soldiers easily dug a number of small holes at the foot of the city wall and buried all the black powder in them!
"My lord, everything has been arranged!"
Gao Shun and Gan Ning lowered their voices and said excitedly.
The two of them have seen the power of black powder, and they can't wait to see how a fortress is completely destroyed!
Cao Mao nodded slowly, and instructed Zhou Cang beside him,
"ignition!"
Zhou Cang took out the flint without hesitation, and after a few sparks, the fuse made of matchlock was quickly ignited!
Under the gaze of everyone, the fire light slowly spread towards the fort like a firefly in the dark night.
Everyone held their breath.
After an unknown amount of time, suddenly a group of intense flames burst out from under the walls of the fortress!
Immediately afterwards, there was an explosion that resounded through the sky, and the earth began to shake violently!
Under the horrified gazes of Zhou Cang, Gan Ning and the others, a wall of the fortress was instantly blown apart!
Countless broken stones and pieces of wood flew out in all directions like a goddess scattering flowers.
A few unlucky soldiers of Cao Jun happened to be hit in the head.
"Hiss... this thing... is too powerful!"
Gan Ning couldn't help taking a breath, his eyes were full of shock!
Not to mention him, even Gao Shun, Zhou Cang and others who had seen the power of black powder were deeply shocked by this explosion!
"You listen to my order and attack!"
Cao Mao held up the Tianlong Breaking City Halberd and shouted sharply!
Gan Ning and Gao Shun came back to their senses, drew out their weapons, and shouted loudly,
"kill!"
The two of them took the lead and rushed towards the fortress!
Immediately behind them is the trapped camp, and Gan Ning's Bazi camp!
……
A small courtyard in the center of the fortress.
Seeing the bright lights in the room, Meng Dai and Guo Yuan pushed open the door and said with a light smile,
"It's so late, the general still isn't resting?"
Zhang Xi at the table put down the book of war in his hands, but his brows were tightly furrowed on his calm face,
"can not fall asleep……"
The two looked at each other, Meng Dai smiled authentically,
"What worries the general?"
"You two must have read the official document sent from Yecheng yesterday, what do you think?"
Zhang He asked.
"I think Feng Junshi's analysis is correct, then Cao Mao will definitely send troops from Bingzhou."
Guo Yuan laughed.
Zhang He sighed,
"But for some reason, I have an ominous premonition in my heart, that Cao Mao is full of tricks, will he really send troops from Bingzhou?"
Meng Dai said disapprovingly,
"Even if he doesn't detour to Bingzhou and continues to send troops from Dangyin. There are generals and [-] elite soldiers guarding this place, and the fortress is indestructible. Cao Jun will never come back!"
"That's right, general, don't worry, just go to bed earlier, so as not to be exhausted."
Guo Yuan also smiled and nodded in agreement.
"What you two said makes sense."
Zhang He nodded slightly.
He also felt that even if he really met Cao Mao, he would never let him easily enter Wei County.
Seeing that his expression had eased a lot, Guo Yuan and Meng Dai smiled and cupped their hands,
"Then the two of us will leave..."
Before the words of the two fell to the ground, there was a sudden loud noise!
