Cao Cao's face was filled with surprise and surprise.
Xiahou Dun, a general, had come up with many strange schemes. It was truly inconceivable.
Who knew what was going on with Xiahou Dun?
Cao Cao couldn't understand.
At this moment, a flying horse reported.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, General Zixiao has occupied the new wilderness!”
His son, Cao Xiao, was Cao Ren.
" What?!"
Cao Cao was stunned.
It was over!
Cao Ren is in danger!
Before he could give the order, Cao Ren had already occupied the new field.
This time, Cao Ren had a slim chance of survival.
Cao Ren was Cao Cao's favorite general and had contributed a lot to Cao Cao over the years.
He defeated Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei…
But why was he so muddle-headed this time?
How muddle-headed!
Cao Cao looked anxious. If he delayed any longer, Cao Ren would definitely lose. He quickly wrote," Send this back quickly. Order Zixiao to retreat from Xinye immediately. There must be no delay!"”
The messenger cavalry thought that Cao Cao would be happy to hear this news and would even reward him. However, he did not expect Cao Cao to be so panicked. He knew that this was a serious matter and could not be delayed. He immediately galloped through the night towards Xinye.
Xinye.
Cao Ren, who had been stationed in Xinye, was very happy. His face was full of smiles, and the people around him were also complimenting him," If the general makes the first contribution in the southern expedition, the prime minister will definitely reward him handsomely!”
The smile on Cao Ren's face grew wider. It was as if he had just picked up this merit. He waved his hands and said humbly," It doesn't matter whether I'm rewarded or not. What's important is that I can serve the Prime Minister!"”
"General is truly loyal and brave!"
Cao Ren smiled and said nothing.
However, Cao Hong, who was at the side, did not say anything. He could not be happy.
He faintly felt that something was strange.
However, he just couldn't pinpoint where the problem was.
Da da da da…
A series of hurried horse hooves sounded.
A fast horse galloped over from afar, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"The Prime Minister has ordered!"
"The Prime Minister has ordered!"
"Open the city gates!"
The commander shouted as he ran.
Upon hearing the sound of hooves, Cao Ren and the others rushed out of the city. At this moment, Cao Ren's smile widened as he thought to himself,"
"Could it be that the Prime Minister's reward has come down so quickly?”
When they arrived at the city, Cao Ren stepped forward and knelt down to receive the letter.
The commander was out of breath and could not care less about anything else. He said directly," The Prime Minister has ordered all the soldiers to retreat from Xinye immediately without delay!”
"What?"
Cao Ren was confused.
Withdraw from Xinye?
Cao Ren's eyes widened. Why did he quit?
Was there something strange?
Cao Ren opened the letter in confusion.
Cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.
Even his hands started to tremble.
"General, what's wrong?"
Chen Qun, who was wearing a green scholar's robe and an official's hat, walked up. He was a little puzzled and looked at Cao Ren as if something big had happened.
Cao Ren passed the secret letter to Chen Qun. Chen Qun opened it and frowned as he muttered to himself.
"Zhuge Liang wants to…burn Xinye?”
At this time, Cao Hong also discovered something strange. Actually, when he entered the new field, he felt that something was wrong. He could not find what was wrong, but after being reminded, he finally found what was wrong.
There were a few more haystacks in the city for no reason!
If one did not look carefully, these haystacks were indeed not very eye-catching.
But if one looked closely, it was strange!
Usually, the haystacks were outside the city, but now they were all in the city, and there was one every ten or twenty steps.
These haystacks seemed to have formed a formation.
Cao Hong walked towards a haystack and casually grabbed a handful of straw. Immediately after, a jet black kerosene flowed out.
Cao Hong was so frightened that he took three steps back!
This haystack was actually kerosene!
The burning speed of the kerosene was extremely fast, and it was not easy to extinguish. If so much kerosene really burned, Xinye would probably be a sea of fire!
Cao Ren also noticed the strangeness in the haystack. Cold sweat kept dripping from his forehead.
He now knew that Xinye was not a safe place. If he delayed any longer, he was afraid that his entire army would be buried here.
"What a vicious Zhuge Liang!”
"I will definitely take revenge!"
Cao Ren ordered everyone to retreat from Xinye.
No delay!
The Cao army slowly retreated.
It was only after midnight that they all withdrew.
Cao Ren, who had been lying on the ground, finally relaxed.
If not for the Prime Minister's reminder, he would probably be finished this time!
Cao Hong rode a white pigeon and horse back and forth to observe the situation in Xinye. He felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, he had retreated in time. Otherwise, he would have been trapped in the city.
In the end, they were still too careless!
At this moment, the official hat on Chen Qun's head could not be found in the panic. The scholar's robe had also become dirty and messy. Fortunately, nothing had happened. Otherwise, he would also be responsible for joining the army.
Chen Qun lay on the ground, panting heavily as he spoke to Cao Ren.
"Zixiao, do you know who saw through Zhuge Liang's plan?”
Cao Ren was slightly stunned.
"Is it the Prime Minister?"
Chen Qun shook his head.
"No!"
"Is that Jia Wenhe?"
"No!"
"Could it be Xun Gongda?"
"Still not!"
"Could it be Xun Boya?"
"No!"
Chen Qun smiled and shook his head.
Looking at Chen Qun's expression, Cao Ren was a little anxious.
"Who else could it be if not these people?”
Chen Qun said with a serious expression. Cao Ren probably wouldn't have guessed it.
"The one who broke Zhuge Liang's plan…"
"It's Xiahou Yuanrang!"
Thump!
Cao Ren sat up abruptly.
"How could it be him?"
Cao Ren didn't believe it at all.
Not only Cao Ren, even Chen Qun did not believe it, but it was the truth.
Chen Qun's expression was grave as he looked straight at Cao Ren.
"If this goes on, the Xiahou clan will definitely be highly regarded by the Prime Minister.”
Cao Ren looked at Chen Qun and saw a faint smile on his face. He knew that Chen Qun had a plan in mind. He asked," How do we solve it?"”
Chen Qun smiled.
"I wonder if General is willing to accept this merit?”
Cao Ren was overjoyed.
He couldn't let Xiahou Dun be in the limelight!
He asked.
"What contribution?"
Chen Qun's eyes shone brightly." Now that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have moved the people away, there are pros and cons. The people are idle and lawless, so their movements are naturally slow. If you chase after them, you will definitely capture Liu Bei. If you can capture Liu Bei, you will be able to cover the sky!”
Cao Ren was enlightened.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had abandoned the city not long ago, and with the burden of the commoners, they naturally could not go far.
If he chased after them now, he would definitely be able to capture them alive.
Cao Ren counted the soldiers and horses, picked the fastest cavalry, and chased after them without any adjustments.
