When Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops arrived at Liu County, the sun was already setting.
Cao Hong led his team in and walked around before returning to report," Not a single person is here!”
"This is not strange. He delayed us for seven days so that the people would have time to escape. If anyone still dares to come at this time, they would be fools!”
"Meng De, are we still on our way?"
"Forget it, the sky is already dark. The army will stay in the city for the night and march to Peng City tomorrow.”
After Xiahou Yuan was captured, Cao Cao did not send any more vanguards to prevent Wang Mou from having another chance.
An empty city that could accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers was extremely simple. If you wanted to sleep in two rooms, you could do it.
Along the way, they saw a mess. The door was wide open and the house was messy. There were still things on the street, proving that the people here had left in a hurry. However, they were all worthless things. Cao Jun glanced at them and did not care.
Cao Cao came to the government office to check in. The generals were scattered around, and only Shi Huan, the leader of his personal guards, followed by his side.
Shi Huan was a ranger and had extraordinary skills. He had followed Cao Cao when he raised his army and was deeply trusted by Cao Cao. Before Dian Wei and Xu Chu arrived, he had always been the head of the guards.
"Gong Liu, you should go and rest too. Just let your subordinates guard it!”
"Yes! Your subordinate is just next door. If the lord needs anything, just call out!”
Lying on the bed, Cao Cao's mind was filled with the voices and smiles of his parents. The hatred he had for Tao Qian grew deeper and deeper. Then, Wang Mou's 'devastatingly beautiful' face appeared in his mind. He felt extremely regretful in his heart. What a great talent, but he had missed it just like that. What a joke!
Cao Cao fell into a deep sleep.
Although he had already given the order to guard the city gate to prevent the enemy from attacking, he did not expect that the enemy would not come from the outside, but from inside the city.
In the dead of night, when most of the Cao troops were asleep, figures appeared from the shadows and appeared in various places in Liu County. They started to light fires. Moreover, the fire spread very quickly. First, there were sparks, followed by long flames. It was obvious that they had added fuel.
After lighting the fire, these people immediately fled without stopping and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
By the time Cao Jun realized that something was wrong, the fire had already begun to spread, and the entire city was in chaos.
"Water!"
"Put out the fire!"
Buckets of water were poured down, but the fire was not controlled at all. Instead, it became more and more intense.
"Oh no, there's fuel inside!”
Not only was there a huge fire, but thick smoke also began to rise, causing Cao Jun to choke and cough.
"We can't save him. Run!"
"Where are you going?"
"Idiot, of course it's outside the city!"
When they arrived at the city gate, they discovered something even more terrifying. The city gate could not be opened. It had been nailed from the outside!
Was there no way out? Was he going to be burned alive or suffocated to death?
"Don't panic, just use the charging chariot to crash the city gate down!”
At the critical moment, Yu Jin rushed over and organized his soldiers to start ramming the city gate. However, he turned in the direction of the government office with a worried expression.
This was obviously a premeditated fire attack. He hoped that nothing would happen to his lord!
Cao Ren and the other generals hurried to the government office, only to see that the entire mansion was engulfed in flames. They couldn't break in and could only panic.
"If we wait any longer, Meng De will lose his life!”
"Then what should we do?"
"Use the blanket to wet the package and barge in!”
"Good, let's do it!"
They were anxious for Cao Cao's safety, so they couldn't care less. They wrapped themselves up like rice dumplings and rushed into the fire.
Not long after the fire started, Cao Cao was awakened from his sleep by the noise.
"What happened?" he asked.”
Shi Huan was already guarding the door and replied,"My Lord, they said that they were out of water, but..."
Cao Cao looked at the fire that had started to surround the entire courtyard and his expression changed drastically." This isn't water. Someone is setting fire!”
"We can't stay here. Leave quickly!"
Shi Huan brought dozens of personal guards and protected Cao Cao in the middle as they hurriedly ran out.
When he arrived outside the courtyard, he was blocked by someone.
This person's eyes were bright like stars, his face was like jade, and his posture was tall and straight. He held a long spear in his hand and a long sword hung on his waist. He was handsome and unrestrained, as if he was floating in the air. It was Wang Mou!
Cao Cao gritted his teeth." It's you again!”
Wang Mou smiled faintly." Is Lord Cao satisfied with this gift?”
"Why must you go against me?”
"Only when you die can the people of Xu Prefecture escape this calamity. You can only blame yourself for being too inhumane and being tolerated by the world!”
"Just you alone?"
"And me!"
Dian Wei walked out from behind Cao Cao. He held his two halberds and approached step by step. His stern aura coupled with his ferocious face made him look like a demon that had walked out of hell. It was shocking!
The two of them blocked the way, one in front and one behind. One was as handsome as a banished immortal, while the other was as ferocious as a malicious ghost, forming a strong contrast!
"Kill them!"
The two of them moved at the same time and rushed towards Cao Cao. Under the illumination of the fire, the cold light of the spear and halberd was so fatal!
