ALL NOVEL Chapter 18
With the temporary end of the battles in Xiaopei and Xiapi,
Xuzhou City, two hundred miles away, will soon usher in another new battle!
As the sun sets and night falls, the five thousand soldiers led by Cao Jian and Le Jin have already been resting and gathering strength.
They are ready to launch a surprise attack on Xuzhou City at any time!
Among the two leaders,
Cao Jian is now nominally just a military Sima, and his military position is one level lower than Le Jin, the lieutenant of the Xianzhen.
Strictly speaking, Le Jin should be the leader.
However, in this chaotic world where princes from all over the country have risen up and the army has gradually become private.
Many things have already been messed up and cannot be completely judged on the surface.
For example, at present, Cao Jian, relying on his identity as the second son of the Cao family, can openly let Le Jin be a green leaf!
And Le Jin, a fierce general who is ruthless and doesn't talk much, not only has no regrets in his heart, but is happy to do it!
This kind of tactful performance makes Cao Jian quite useful.
Seeing that there was no movement in Xuzhou City, the battle could not be started for a while.
While waiting silently, he could not help but start to get close to Le Jin: first, to kill the boring time of waiting for who knows how long; second, he hoped to take this opportunity to build a relationship with Le Jin so that he could develop into a confidant in the future.
After a simple contact.
Cao Jian has a thorough understanding of Le Jin's personality: to use a fashionable word in later generations, that is, his personality is introverted.
A typical model worker who works hard and never complains, like an old ox!
What if you don't ask questions?
This guy can even follow behind silently and be a dull person all day long!
"No wonder this guy has such a weak presence among the"Five Great Generals" of later generations! He is obviously very powerful and often has the merit of being the first to reach the target, but there are few impressive records of him in both official history and novels!
It's all because of his personality.……"
After silently labeling Le Jin as an"introvert" in his heart?
Cao Jian not only did not give up and continued to chat, but targeted Le Jin's personality traits: he chose topics that this guy was good at to guide him, and by the way, he learned about the specific details of his many first-mover achievements!
This unintentional move fell into Le Jin's eyes?
That is, the second son of the Cao family is willing to condescend and make friends with him!
For Le Jin, who is introverted and rarely takes the initiative to talk to others, how rare is this in his life?
Good guy, this touched Le Jin!
Under that seemingly dull expression, his heart has actually been churning: there is a kind of heroic desire to"die for his confidant"!
Cao Jian, this smart man, silently watched Le Jin's subtle reactions from the side.
Although he could not determine Le Jin's exact thoughts, he could guess a little bit through the traceable micro-expressions. For this unexpected gain, he couldn't help but smile to himself and thought:
"This Le Jin looks cold and aloof, but I didn't expect him to be so simple.……"
While he was secretly complaining
, a scout came to report:
""Report to the Second Young Master! There is movement on the top of the Xuzhou city!"
Cao Jian heard it and hurriedly took Le Jin to check.
Looking carefully, he saw that the lights on the highest attic of the city wall were flashing: every three flashes, they would stay on for a while, hiding a special rhythm!
It was the action signal that Cao Jian and Chen Deng had secretly agreed on!
Seeing that the time had come,
Cao Jian couldn't help but feel happy!
He and Le Jin led 5,000 troops and went straight to the city gate!
Then, under the cover of the dark night
, pretending to be Lu Bu's men, they began to knock on the door.
"Soldiers on the city wall, listen up! We are following the order from Lord Wen:
There are few people in the city, so in order to prevent a sneak attack by the enemy, we are rushing back overnight to help with the defense!"
"Open the city gate quickly, without any mistakes!"
The general on the top of the city saw this and was confused.
Chen Deng, as an insider, had already come here under the pretext of inspection.
Without waiting for the general to react, he shouted loudly:
"The soldiers under the city look familiar to me, so they must be real!"
"Open the city gates! Let Wen Hou's soldiers enter the city.……"
At this time, Cheng Lian, Lu Bu's confidant who stayed in Xuzhou City, had already been drunk by Chen Deng.
Chen Deng was a big celebrity in front of Lu Bu now, and he was also the Guangling prefect with the highest position in the city!
Naturally, no one dared to question what he said!
When the shout fell, only a"creaky" sound was heard!
The huge city gate was opened in an instant!
Seeing this, Cao Jian and Le Jin dared not delay?
They hurriedly led 5,000 soldiers and swaggered into the city!
Chen Deng took advantage of this gap: in the name of welcoming, he hurried down the city.
Then, under the protection of his own servants: he immediately mixed into the team brought by Cao Jian!
Until this moment!
The guards at the city gate finally found something wrong!
"Wait! You look unfamiliar, and you don't seem to be under the command of Lord Wen.……"
However, as soon as he opened his mouth,
Cao's army, which had already entered in a line, killed him with a single sword!
Cao Jian suddenly shouted:
"All soldiers, listen up!
Fight quickly and make sure the battle ends as soon as possible!"
As soon as the words fell, Le Jin jumped up instantly!
In a flash of lightning, he had already raised his sword and slashed!
""Hua La La" a few times!
With lightning speed!
The enemy troops at the city gate were completely chopped to the ground!
It took only a few breaths!
The enemy troops at the city gate had been cleared out!
Then, Le Jin, whose blade was stained with blood, seemed to have completely changed.
By the way, he even talked more than usual.
After quickly cleaning up the battlefield.
This guy who was born for war actually took the initiative to instruct Cao Jian:
"Second Young Master, there is danger in the city!"
"Your Excellency is a precious person, you shouldn't put yourself in danger!"
"Please wait here with Mr. Yuanlong for a while!"
"I will come back to you after I have cleared the enemy for you!"
Cao Jian was naturally happy to see this happen, and responded with a smile:
"That's fine! General Wen Qian, please do as you please!"
After that, Cao Jian left 500 men as bodyguards
(mainly to protect Chen Deng, the strongest insider who had just made great contributions).
The rest of the people were all led by Le Jin.
After hearing this, Le Jin instantly turned into a battlefield killer!
Leading the remaining 4,000 men: full of murderous intent, they rushed straight into the city!
A thrilling surprise attack began...
