NOVEL FROG Chapter 42
In Xuzhou.
When Guo Jiayuan was in Xiaopei, asking for a reward for Cao Jian.
The imperial edict of Cao Boss recruiting Chen Qun, which Cao Jian proposed, had arrived first.
With the official appointment, the top think tank Chen Qun naturally no longer refused!
With the assistance of two political bigwigs, him and Chen Deng, and checks and balances, no one can dominate. Under such an arrangement, the affairs of the city have undoubtedly become well-organized.
So far, the city has gradually become complete in terms of civil and military affairs:
Chen Qun and Chen Deng in civil affairs, Xu Huang and Le Jin in military affairs!
Cao Jian was able to rest assured and live a carefree life.
With this layout, he didn't have to worry that the Cao family would be easily hollowed out in Xuzhou in the future.
Seeing that everything began to get back on track...
When Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, the two future brothers-in-law, began to rush here.
Another army with ill intentions was also rushing towards the city with murderous intent! The people who came were none other than Lu Bu's men: originally, they were fooled by Chen Deng and sent by Lu Bu to invade Cao Jun's Runan, Yingchuan and other places with more than 10,000 troops!
This army can be called Lu Bu's confidant: it was led by Hao Meng, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng, four members of the"Eight Generals"!
The mighty troops were originally intended to attack Cao's old nest.
As a result, halfway through the march, they suddenly learned that there was a fire in the backyard, Chen Deng rebelled, and Xuzhou's old nest was seized by a small group of Cao's troops?!
This was like a bolt from the blue, not to mention how shocking it was!
How could Hao Meng, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng, the four generals, sit still after receiving the order?
They immediately led more than 2,000 troops and rushed back to Xuzhou City... accompanied by the sound of"da da da da" horses' hooves.
Outside the city, horses neighed and yellow sand filled the sky!
The city was within reach!
Generals Hao Meng, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng continued to curse:
"Damn Chen Deng, a traitor!
Once we take back the city, I will definitely pull that guy out and chop him into pieces!"
"That's right! I've been fed up with this traitor for a long time!
I've been trying to persuade Wen Hou not to trust him too much, but he didn't listen...
Now that traitor has found the opportunity, he really showed his true colors!
While our brothers are fighting hard outside, he suddenly does this behind our backs?
It's so abominable that he ruined our plans like this! I can't vent my hatred unless I grind him to dust!"
"Humph! Don't forget that little bastard named Cao!
If that little beast hadn't been behind this and secretly colluded with Chen Deng, that traitor, how could he have been so bold? Once we get into the city, I will definitely beat that little thief Cao and skin him alive.……"
"That's right! I heard that little Cao thief is the latest future heir of the Cao family? What do you think, if we kill him? Will Cao thief never recover from this? Haha!"
"Hey! That makes sense!
That Cao thief just lost his eldest son in Wancheng last year!
If we kill a new heir of the Cao family this time, maybe he will be pissed to death!
If that's the case, maybe the Cao army doesn't even need to fight!
It will just become a mess, hahahaha……"
As soon as this joking argument came out, everyone burst into laughter!
While laughing.
Hao Meng, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng, the four generals, obviously didn't know: what kind of opponent they were about to face?!
Looking at the Xuzhou City right in front of them?
They seemed to have expected that retaking it would be just like playing!
Some people even began to fantasize: After retaking the city and beheading Cao Jian, Chen Deng and other Cao army leaders in the city, what kind of generous reward will they get from their lord Lu Bu?
Each of them imagined the future as if they were daydreaming.
The four generals were afraid that their credit would be robbed, so they immediately started to attack one after another!
"Brothers! Go!——！"
"Charge into the city and take back everything we have!"
"Today is the day to make a contribution! Come on, everyone!"
"kill——！"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!——！"
"……"
The sound of shouting and killing soon resounded outside the city of Xuzhou!
The guards on the city walls saw it and their faces changed instantly!
Fortunately, the Xuzhou guards at this time were no longer the mob they were before!
Many soldiers had served under the two first-class generals Xu Huang and Le Jin, and their combat qualities were extraordinary. As soon as they saw that something was wrong, they reacted quickly and began to shout the alarm:
"Enemy Attack——！"
"Quick! Close the city gate!!"
"Close the city gates quickly and prepare for battle!!"
"Send someone to deliver the message immediately!
Inform the young master and the two generals immediately!"
"……"
As the military orders were issued one after another!
On the top of Xuzhou City, the soldiers were fully armed in an instant: they immediately entered the first level of alert!
As the enemy army continued to approach...
Among the soldiers defending the city, there were soldiers who had surrendered before: they soon recognized the identity of the enemy's general from the vague figure!
Then, a series of dense news quickly spread:
"The famous 'Eight Generals' under Lu Bu's command are leading the troops to capture the city!"
"Moreover, half of the Eight Warriors came.……"
