Han family achievements

Chapter 141 Zang Ba
late at night.

Cao Cao and Guo Jia fell asleep on their feet, and were fast asleep when they were woken up by Xiahou Dun.

Cao Cao and Guo Jia sat up, and saw not far away, there were four or five beautified women in their teens and twenties standing there.

Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked at each other, puzzled.

"Yuan Rang, what are you?" Cao Cao asked.

Xiahou Dun had a strange expression on his face, and said, "It was sent by Mr. Ding to take care of your daily life."

Cao Cao didn't understand where he was, and immediately became angry and cursed: "The old thief Ding Yuan deceived me!"

Guo Jia picked up the jug, took a sip, and said with a smile, "I think that Mr. Ding may not have any malicious intentions, but he is probably trying to please the general."

Cao Cao reacted and became even more annoyed, saying: "The old thief looks at me like this! Yuan Rang, send these people back to me and tell Ding Yuan that he will still be the main attack tomorrow!"

Xiahou Dun complied and took the women out again.

Guo Jia lay down while drinking, and said, "General, you need to be more polite to Mr. Ding tomorrow."

Cao Cao suppressed his anger, stepped sideways and said, "I know."

But when Ding Yuan came out, Cao Cao tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so he raised his head, looked at Guo Jia, and said, "Feng Xiao, I heard from the nearby villagers that there will be heavy snow for a while, what should I do?"

Guo Jia heard the words, sat up halfway, and said: "There is no other way, only to attack."

Their rations can't last long, and if there is heavy snow, they will have to die here.

Cao Cao's face was gloomy, and his face was pensive.

He naturally didn't want to attack by force. Except for those who came from the Forbidden Army camp and had been trained for a few months, the troops in his hands were basically young and strong, without much experience in siege, and rushed up to die for nothing.

Guo Jia drank his wine and shook his head inwardly.

Ding Yuan's delay pushed the great situation into an unpredictable situation.

"I'm worried about Jizhou." After a while, Guo Jia said.

Cao Cao was startled, raised his head and said, "The Black Mountain Army? They are just bandits, what can they do?"

Guo Jia drank the wine and said: "You should make the king come here for the first time, and you can't suppress it at all. If some people with ulterior motives stop you or add fuel to the fire, Jizhou may be even more chaotic than Yanzhou."

Cao Cao's expression became serious, as if he had thought of something, he put on his clothes and sat up, and said, "If I attack by force, how long will it take?"

The number of troops Cao Cao and Ding Yuan had was comparable to that of Qiaomao's rebels, but it was difficult to say whether one would attack the city and the other defend the city.

Guo Jia paused for a while, his eyes were cold, and he said: "Qiaomao rebelled suddenly, people's hearts are not in harmony, day and night fierce attack, coercion and temptation, at most five days, it can be taken!"

Cao Cao remained silent.

Such a fierce attack, even if he wins, he will lose at least half of his soldiers, and winning is also a miserable victory.

Cao Cao thought in his heart that the imperial court would definitely impeach him fiercely, so he thought about it, and said in a deep voice, "Then attack by force!"

Guo Jia looked at him, and said: "General, you have to think about it. After taking it down, the general may not be able to gain a foothold in Yanzhou."

Yanzhou not only had a rebellion in the bridge, but also had to eliminate other rebellions such as the Yellow Turban bandits. Without enough troops, it couldn't stand at all.

Cao Cao hated Ding Yuan half to death in his heart, but his expression was as firm as iron, and he said: "There is no other way, we must wipe out Qiaomao before the heavy snowfall!"

Guo Jia nodded lightly and drank leisurely.

"Fengxiao, will Jizhou really be in chaos?" Cao Cao cared about Jizhou instead after making a plan for Puyang.

Guo Jia wiped his mouth and said: "Mr. Zhu forced the gold bandits to flee in Qingzhou. I heard that quite a few of them fled to Jizhou."

Knowing this, Cao Cao frowned, thinking of the Black Mountain Army, the Yellow Turban Army, and Ying Shao, whose foothold was not stable.

The current situation seems to have returned to six or seven years ago.

At that time, the Yellow Turban Army suddenly became powerful, ravaging prefectures and counties, and even approaching Luoyang, which made the big man very frightened.

It took a lot of effort to suppress it, and never thought that the situation of the big man has not changed for the better, but it seems to be stuck in a quagmire, and it is becoming more and more difficult.

Guo Jia saw what was on Cao Cao's mind, his eyes moved slightly, and he said: "If the general can gain a foothold in Yanzhou, a place where the chaos is everywhere, why not worry about his achievements?"

Cao Cao glanced at him and continued to think.

Yanzhou's geographical location is too special, and it restricts the main roads from east to west, from north to south, based here, conquering from east to west, traveling from south to north, and sometimes fighting!

But in such a chaotic place, it is extremely difficult to gain a foothold.

But for a moment, Cao Cao looked determined, and said, "Squeeze Qiaomao first before it's too late!"

Guo Jia drank, looked out the window, and began to plan for Cao Cao's future in his heart.

……

Early the next morning, Cao Cao and Ding Yuan ordered their soldiers and horses, and placed them in front of the south gate of Puyang City.

Ding Yuan stroked his sparse beard, glanced at Cao Cao, and said, "Meng De, why don't you take the lead in attacking the city today?"

Cao Cao said with a blank expression, "Your Majesty's Lü Bu is brave and invincible, why should I come? Cao also wants to see Lv Bu's bravery."

Ding Yuan snorted coldly in his heart, recruited Lu Bu and ordered him to fight.

Riding a green-maned horse and holding a spear, Lu Bu shuttled back and forth in front of the formation, yelling and cursing endlessly.

"Qiao Mao, you say that the sky has no eyes, but do you know that Mr. Qiao has eyes?"

"Duke Qiao ranks among the three lords, and is admired by the world, but you are plotting chaos, disrespecting ministers and filial piety, why not die!"

"Old thief, you are a wall of dung that cannot be subdued. Standing on a high wall, everyone can see it, and the stink is reeking!"

Lu Bu didn't know whether someone taught him deliberately or read some books himself, and he brought out the ancestors of the Qiao family and cursed them.

The bridge on the wall of the city pretended not to move, and responded loudly: "Cao Cao, after you eunuch, how can you know the righteousness! The traitor is in power, and the chaos is at the center of the court. Why don't you join me in beheading the villain and eliminating the evil, and then establish the universe!"

"Stubborn!"

Seeing Qiaomao expose his shortcomings, Cao Cao looked coldly, and said to Ding Yuan: "Your Majesty, Qiaomao's generation has deep roots in rebellion. I want to attack by force, so please show me."

Ding Yuan stroked his sparse beard and said, "I only have a mere ten thousand people..."

"Three circles and one missing, I will attack the east and west, and the south gate will be handed over to the envoy!" Cao Cao said directly without waiting for him to finish speaking.

Ding Yuan looked serious and said, "Since Meng De has made up his mind, good!"

Cao Cao and Ding Yuan agreed, and tens of thousands of troops rushed to Puyang City like a tide.

Lu Bu attacked the south gate, Xiahou Yuan's east gate, and Xiahou Dun's west gate. The offensive was fierce, and it seemed that a battle would be decided.

The small Puyang City suddenly felt like a mountain of pressure, as if it was on the verge of collapse.

Not long after, the city was crowded with people, as if soldiers were fighting hand-to-hand, fighting each other physically, vying for the small city.

Arrows rained like rain, logs kept rolling up and down, blood flowed horizontally, and corpses piled up.

Cao Cao stood in the distance with a cold expression.

Ding Yuan glanced at him, his face expressionless, but his heart ached.

He only has more than 1 people left, and the loss is here. How can he, a Yanzhou pastor, gain a foothold in Yanzhou?
Siege battles have always been fierce, and the fighting between the two sides has become intense in a short time.

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan were desperate to take the lead and attack the city with all their might.

The shouts of killing shook the sky, and the shouts of anger were like thunder.

In this battle, the two sides did not stop from morning, noon, evening, until dark.

The armies of both sides cleaned up the corpses and cleaned the battlefield.

"Munde!"

Xiahou Dun wiped the blood from his face and said, "More than 8000 people were killed or injured."

The corner of Cao Cao's face twitched, and it was only the first day that he made eight thousand.

Guo Jia came up with the wine jug and said, "Don't stop at night."

Cao Cao nodded and looked towards Ding Yuan.

Guo Jia smiled and said, "General, you don't have to worry about Ding Shijun. As long as the general attacks the city, Ding Shijun can't be lazy."

Cao Cao understood instantly, and said in a deep voice, "Yuan Rang, divide the soldiers into three, take turns attacking and resting, and must capture Puyang City before the heavy snow comes!"

"Take orders!" Xiahou Dun replied in a deep voice.

The current situation is very bad for them. Once it snows heavily in Puyang, they will be unable to advance or retreat.

The officers and troops who had already withdrawn formed formation again in a short time, ready to attack.

But the official army did not really attack, but a feint attack like last night, but the scale and momentum were bigger, as if it was real.

In Puyang City, the battle is ready, no one dares to bet that this is a 'feign attack'.

For three days in a row, the offensive of the officers and soldiers continued unabated, and the fight between the two sides at the Sanmen of Puyang City almost never stopped.

"Is Cao Cao crazy!?"

At the head of Puyang City, Zang Bahong scolded angrily with his eyes tired and tired.

The officers and soldiers seemed to be tireless, let alone death, and they were desperately attacking the city.

For three days, Zang Ba hardly closed his eyes. Like him, there were countless soldiers.

He was accompanied by a military marquis who went downstairs with him.

Inside the city, there were corpses and wounded soldiers everywhere, and the mourning continued.

"This is what happens to deserters!"

Suddenly, not far away, a group of soldiers overwhelmed more than 20 shirtless people and directly slashed and killed them in front of everyone.

Zang Ba was stunned, his expression became more and more ugly, and he strode towards the official office in Puyang City.

The Marquis grabbed him and said in a low voice, "What is the captain doing?"

Zang Ba stared at him, and said: "Go to Qiao Mao to reason!"

When the Marquis saw this, he hesitated again and again, and suddenly pulled him to a corner, and said in a low voice, "Lieutenant, don't you know? All the family members of officials, big and small, in the city were taken away by the bridge prefect!"

Zang Ba opened his eyes angrily, and said, "My wife and children were also taken away by Qiao Mao?"

The Marquis glanced outside and said in a low voice: "Lieutenant, you are different from us. We were cornered by the court. You just robbed some people. You don't need to be intimidated by Qiao Mao. You should run for your life earlier. Bar."

Zang Ba's face changed, and he said, "Where are my wife and children?"

Junhou shook his head again and again, and said, "How could a villain know such a thing."

Zang Ba looked at him and said, "Don't be afraid, as long as I don't die, you will be fine!"

Junhou said: "My family has committed a capital crime and has nowhere to go."

Zang Ba snorted coldly, and said: "I also committed a capital crime, what's so scary, follow me from now on!"

As Zang Ba spoke, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Qiao Mao patrolling, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Qiao Mao didn't see him, and chatted and laughed happily with the people around him, saying: "Cao Cao's attack on the city must be due to the shortage of military supplies and cannot last long. I predict that it will take three days at most, when I will wait for the counterattack! At that time , Yanzhou is in my hands! In the north, we can form an alliance with the Black Mountain Army, in the east, we can annex Qingzhou, in the west, we can conquer Luoyang, and in the south, we can enter Yuzhou.

Everyone listened and nodded in agreement.

Zang Ba waited for him to walk away, sneered, came out from the corner, looked around, turned and walked towards Wang Gong's mansion.

Wang Gong was busy counting food and grass, and his head was in a state of desperation.

Cao Cao didn't have much food and grass, and in fact there wasn't much in Puyang City either. The consumption of 7 to [-] people was a huge number every day.

Seeing Zang Ba approaching aggressively, Wang Gong frowned, and said: "Lieutenant Zang, I will give you everything that should be given to you. If there is more, you need the prefect's approval."

Zang Ba snorted coldly and said, "Where is my wife and children?"

Wang Gong's expression remained unchanged, he was secretly vigilant, and said: "Lieutenant Zang, there is no need to worry. Prefect Qiao picked them up and placed them in a safe place."

Zang Ba stared at him, and said: "Qiao Mao promised you the prefect of Dongjun, do you think you can really sit on it? Don't forget, you are from Liu Dai, and Liu Dai is from the royal family!"

Wang Gong's face sank, and he said, "What's the meaning of Lieutenant Zang?"

Zang Ba took out a letter from his pocket, threw it on the ground, and said coldly: "This is a letter from Cao Cao, Wang Gong, do you have it too?"

Wang Gong's expression changed suddenly, he stared at Zang Ba and said, "What do you want to say?"

Zang Ba drew out his sword, full of murderous intent, and said: "Either, you help me rescue my wife and children, we escape from Puyang together, and I return to my Taishan, and you find your backer. , and then open the city gate to welcome Cao Cao into the city!"
