Chapter 26: Action in the Rain
It was always very calm before the storm. The entire Puyang City was in a state of alert as usual, and did not use special troops because of what happened last night.
But last night, Chen Gong and Lu Bu had a secret chat in the mansion, and anyone knows that it is not a chat.
This is exactly what Zhou Yang is worried about. He feels that he can't guess thoroughly, so what new plan does Chen Gong have?
However, worries are unnecessary. As long as the warehouse can succeed, Chen Gong's advice to Lu Bu will become Lu Bu's disgust towards him. No matter how many think tanks are, it will be useless.
According to the situation last night, Lu Bu left the city to welcome Cao Cao should have returned without success.
Zhou Yang knew that Cao's army was not the time to fight with Lu Bu head-on, so he could only continue to wait for the time to be ripe.
Such an opportunity was not only built on Zhou Yang's destruction of the warehouse and the internal destruction of Puyang City, but Cao Cao could not do nothing else. He could enter the city silently, find out the situation of the underground black market, and even buy the soldiers of Ximen and the Japanese warrior.
These methods are enough to teach people that they have to admire them.
"stop!"
A leading general followed by more than a dozen patrol soldiers. He had just turned over from the street not far away, and when he saw someone wandering on the street, he called him.
The man was Li Su, who turned around and walked towards the patrolmen.
This was Zhou Yang's arrangement to attract their attention, so that Li Su could lead these people away before he could successfully leave Li Su's residence and sneak into some difficult-to-know dark places on the street.
In fact, he could have come out with Lu Lingqi, so he could have walked on the street openly.
After all, no one knows what Chen Gong said to Lu Bu last night, so out of great concern, it is better not to be so arrogant.
"What are you doing here?" asked the patrolman.
Li Su was afraid of arousing suspicion, so he didn't look back. Although his official position was still higher than these captains and soldiers, he still dealt with them in a humble tone.
Zhou Yang was very relieved about this cunning guy and left Li Su's house easily and smoothly, turning into a dark corner.
There was Su Chen's response there. When he saw him appear, he came to his side and whispered: "General Dian Wei is ready. He can act immediately just by waiting for our signal."
"Where is the retreat route?" Zhou Yang asked.
"It was accurate last night," Su Chen said, "but for safety reasons, I checked it again and confirmed that there would be no problem."
Zhou Yang nodded and said, "What's going on with my father-in-law?"
Su Chen replied: "According to the detailed reward, since last night, General Xiahou Dun has been in charge of the main business, while Cao Gong personally led the elite main force to prepare for the occupation of Puyang City."
Zhou Yang said decisively: "Since everything is ready, we can't hold everyone back."
Su Chen seemed to have doubts in his heart and couldn't help but ask: "Are you really sure it will rain?"
Zhou Yang looked up at the gray sky. His confidence in this most basic natural common sense has begun to move a little. He only showed a confident look in order not to let her think about it, and said seriously: "How dare I joke about such things? If it doesn't rain, my father-in-law will never take action, right?"
Su Chen smiled bitterly and said, "That is Mr. Cao's trust in you."
Yes! Looking at the entire Three Kingdoms era, how many people know how to predict the weather?
It is precisely because of Chen Gong's advice around Lu Bu that the capture of Puyang City became so difficult, and Cao Gong would not place such an important battle in this unpredictable weather. No matter how bold Guo Jia is, he would never allow such a risk.
If it doesn't rain, not only will all the previous efforts be wasted, but Cao Cao's main force will also fall into trouble. Chen Gong will definitely not miss the great opportunity to counterattack Cao's army.
The worst case is that the surrounding forces will rob Cao Cao's lairs such as Xu Du, Chen Liu, and others, and the situation in the world will also undergo drastic changes, which will truly change history.
Zhou Yang became more and more heartbroken the more he thought about it, but he still pretended to be calm and said to himself: There was no moon or star last night, and there was indeed a southwest wind. Today's rain will definitely fall, and it must be a heavy rain. You must believe in yourself, science, and history.
Therefore, you must never lose this battle.
"Then we can only wait now?" Su Chen followed him and looked at the sky a few times. Although he had been able to break through the predicament repeatedly with his extraordinary performance, this time it was an inconsistency. He was inevitably confused and tried to find some confidence from other aspects. "The situation in Li Su and Lu Lingqi should not have any problems!"
"Although this success or failure is not entirely dependent on them," Zhou Yang was more confident in these two people, "but without their help, things will indeed make things a lot more troublesome."
The two of them could no longer find other topics, so they exchanged their eyes and then looked at the sky again.
Time is obviously passing very slowly, which makes people anxious.
But I don’t want it to pass too quickly, just because the rain has not come, but every moment makes Zhou Yang and Su Chen’s hearts tightly.
It can be imagined that Cao's army outside the city, Dian Wei and the soldiers inside the city felt even more entangled.
This swaying mood lasted until noon.
It turns out that the only remaining sunlight was quickly covered by dark clouds.
In less than a moment, the heavy rain suddenly poured down, catching people off guard.
"Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang!" The two of them didn't react for a moment. Su Chen had just come to his senses and immediately pulled his sleeve and shouted, "It's raining... Look, it's really raining."
It was indeed a heavy rain in front of me, and Zhou Yangxi said: "Action!"
The two of them immediately became energetic and didn't care if the rain hit them. They shuttled through the deserted street like a phantom, and finally lurked near the warehouse.
That was the hidden point planned by Su Chen and Dian Wei before. Even if the action failed last night, he could escape without realizing it.
When the rain got heavier and heavier, the people who took turns guarding the warehouse never came.
Zhou Yang knew that the other side had started to move, so he had arranged for Li Su to have a close conversation with Song Xian, who was guarding the afternoon shift. When it rained, Lu Lingqi made a fuss about Miss Trouble, which prevented Song Xian from changing shifts.
In this way, Song Xian could get the benefits of Cao Cao and find excuses to completely overturn the blame.
But afterwards, Lu Lingqi learned that Zhou Yang and the others had left, but she didn't know what she would feel.
But at this time there was no time to think about it. Since Song Xian and other teams did not come to pick them up, the soldiers in the warehouse naturally complained. Coupled with the heavy rain like a beast, the soldiers guarding the warehouse were even more depressed.
This group of warlords was Wei Xu, who kept sending people to look around at the door of the warehouse.
But except for returning wet and wet, the soldiers could not bring back any news, which left him nowhere to vent and kept scolding the soldiers for being foolish.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Su Chen, who was hiding in the dark, lit up the seven-star sword in his hand and said coldly: "It's almost time to do it."
Zhou Yang said decisively: "Take it!"
With a call, Su Chen disappeared immediately.
In an instant, several figures appeared in the heavy rain, and as the figures overlapped, there were about thirty or forty soldiers, running from slow to fast to quietly surrounding the warehouse.
One of them held a double halberd, which was known as Dian Wei, a powerful general who was called "The Evil of Ancients".
Zhou Yang knew that this was his first time working with him, so he could not miss it. He quickly abandoned all distracting thoughts, held the tiger's roaring spear, and flew into the queue with a few light steps.
In order to create the work of coaxing and sabotage in Puyang City, implement the strategy of eroding food in the siege, and provide Cao Cao with the opportunity to siege this time, everyone tried their best and did a lot of things.
Now that it is finally the last moment, no one can stop the action.
Zhou Yang became cold in an instant, and led by Dian Wei, killing every defender who was blocking the front expressionlessly.
Before the soldiers in the warehouse could react, they immediately died under the swords of other elite soldiers.
When Su Chen came to Zhou Yang from the warriors' queue, Dian Wei also guarded the warehouse door as planned, with a strong momentum of one man as the pass, and ten thousand men could not open it.
The others followed Zhou Yang and Su Chen and dealt with the remaining soldiers in the warehouse at a speed of thunder, leaving only Wei Xu.
Wei Xu gritted his teeth and stopped the other party, but anyone could see that he was already scared in addition to his resentment.
At this time, it was supposed to be something that Song Xian was facing, but because he had not come to change shifts for a long time, everyone was suffering from rain and their morale was already depressed. When he encountered such a surprise incident, he kept muttering in his heart, what bad luck had he gone today.
"Song Xian won't come." Zhou Yang saw all kinds of emotions in the other party's heart at a glance and pointed at the gun, "Now you either unlock the lock yourself or we can help you unlock the lock."
"You are forcing me to betrayal." Wei Xu said with a wry smile.
"You can't choose the reality." Zhou Yang said lightly, "You are more than just a treacherous person. Lu Bu is definitely not the one you deserve to work for. Instead of doing this, it is better to leave a useful body and wait for you to show your skills in the future."
Wei Xu laughed to the sky, letting the helplessness on his face, and then said, "If this is okay to say to Zhang Liao or Gao Shun, we still know how much we have to do with the three generals of the Shou Cang."
Su Chen urged beside him: "Don't waste time anymore,"
Zhou Yang asked, "General Wei, please make a decision!"
Wei Xu sneered: "Do you really think you can succeed?"
Zhou Yang said: "You don't have to worry about this. Finally, General Wei will ask you once, whether to help us unlock the lock, or will we unlock the lock ourselves?"
Wei Xu threw the unlocked lock and key on the ground, and threw the spear in his hand casually before he consciously retreated aside.
Chapter completed!
