The Three Kingdoms are invincible

After another day of fighting, Sun Jian's army still failed to break through the city despite the desperate defense of Cao's army.

However, during this day, Cao Ren's east gate suffered particularly light attacks, while the pressure on the other three gates was much greater.

In the end, Cao Ren did not send troops to the other three gates for reinforcements, so that the east gate lost very little, with less than 200 casualties, while the other three gates lost about a thousand troops each.

The current situation is very bad, there are about [-] soldiers in the city, and there are at least [-] left in Sun Jian's army.

How long can this go on?

When Sun Jian's army first broke through Wancheng, the request for help was sent to the Guandu battlefield early, but so far no reply has been received.

The distance between Xuchang and Guandu is not too far away, if you hurry up, you can arrive there in two or three days, but now there is no news, probably Cao Cao is also feeling very difficult about the current situation, and it is difficult to make a decision.

"Zi Xiao, I heard that the enemy's attack on the east gate is very light today, why don't you send troops to help us?" In the conference hall, Yu Jin asked Cao Ren.

"I'm afraid there will be deceit." Cao Ren replied simply and clearly.

Yu Jin remained silent, this really needs to be carefully judged, if it is really the enemy's strategy to lure away the defenders of the east gate, then rashly deploying troops, the consequences will be very serious.

"Mr. Wen He, what do you think?" Seeing that Cao Ren and Yu Jin hesitated to speak, Li Dian asked Jia Xu, the adviser.

"It must be the enemy's deceit." Jia Xu closed his eyes slightly, and heard Li Dian's question at this moment, without even raising his eyelids, he said decisively.

"How do you know, Mister?" Seeing Jia Xu's affirmation, Cao Ren knew that he must have known the reason.

"Of course." Jia Xu spit out these four words slowly.

Everyone has black lines... Take it for granted?This reason is too casual.

Faced with everyone's embarrassing expressions, Jia Xuli ignored them. This was a conclusion he "taken for granted". If you really want to ask the reasons in detail, how can there be so many reasons in the world to explain to you one by one?

"Mr. Wen Ruo, what do you think?" As soon as Jia Xu said the words "Of course", everyone felt uncertain again, so Li Dian asked Xun Yu again.

Xun Yu was the number one counselor under Cao Cao's account, with the most seniority and the most valuable status. Therefore, when Li Dian asked Xun Yu, his tone was quite respectful.

Xun Yu twirled his beard, apparently also in deep thought.

Whether it is encircling the three and missing one, or a trick to lure the enemy, a scheming man like Xun Yu is also caught in a dilemma at this time.

After all, the most unpredictable person in the world is the human heart. Sun Jian dominates one side, and there must be many capable people under his account.Cao Cao has been focusing on the Central Plains and the North in recent years, so Xun Yu doesn't know much about Sun Jian's forces in Jiangdong, and he doesn't know much about the character of his advisers. What is the ultimate purpose of his behavior? Xun Yu I can't be sure for a while.

In fact, in all fairness, Xun Yu believed that this was indeed a trick of the enemy army, but on the other hand, he didn't want to admit it.

Without him, judging from today, the offensive of the other three gates is too fierce. If the east gate faces such an insignificant attack, but occupies the same defensive force as the other three gates, then for the other three gates, would appear to be more disadvantageous.

If the defense of the east gate is evenly distributed to the other three gates, the situation may be improved a lot.

"Let's see the situation tomorrow. If Sun Jian's army's offensive against the East Gate is still as weak as it is today, then General Zixiao may consider sending some troops to the other three gates." Xun Yu finally said so.

Hearing Xun Yu's answer, Jia Xu's eyes darkened.

Jia Xu's intuition told himself that this must be a deceit by the enemy, but he did not insist on arguing.

Xun Yu is No. 1 among the advisers of Cao Jun. Since he has made a decision, there is no need to argue with him.Even though Xun Yu himself was a modest gentleman and would not care about it, those generals respected Xun Yu very much. If he sang against him, he would definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of those generals.

After all, I am in Cao Ying, and my qualifications and foundation are very shallow.

"Could it be that Cao Cao is about to end here?" After leaving the meeting room, Jia Xu looked up to the sky and sighed softly.

What should I do now, should I wait for Xuchang to fall and surrender, or...

Even Jia Xu, who was usually as calm as water, felt a little bit complicated at this moment.

————————————————————————————————— Not only Jia Xu was uneasy, but many people in Xuchang City were also uneasy.

Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was uneasy. He was Cao Cao's father. He must bear the brunt of the collapse of Xuchang City, and he was the first target Sun Jianjun wanted to arrest.

The Emperor Han who was sitting in the palace was also uneasy. This emperor who didn't know what the future would hold could only lie on the bed and lament his troubled future.

Cao Cao's wives and concubines were even more disturbed. If Cao Song was caught, he would die. If he was lucky, Sun Jian might not bother to do anything to him at all.However, they are different. If they fall into the hands of Sun Jianjun, what kind of bad luck will they face?

Compared to these anxious people, the people in Xuchang City seemed less afraid.Massacre?Yes, this is a common phenomenon in troubled times.However, Xuchang City is also the capital of the great Han Dynasty today. After Sun Jian broke the city, he would definitely welcome the emperor immediately. In this case, he would not be able to massacre the city, so panic did not spread among the people.

In Gaoshun Mansion, Guo Cui and Cao Ming were also panicking. The reason for their panic was the same as that of Cao Cao's wives and concubines. They were afraid that they would suffer misfortune after being captured.

"Two sisters, in my opinion, there is no need to worry too much about this." Diao Chan couldn't bear to see the sorrowful look between the eyebrows of the two, so she comforted her, "If Xuchang is broken, Cao Mengde will die. At that time Cao Mengde's civil and military affairs, either died in battle, or surrendered to another master. General Gao is not only a famous general in his time, but also a celebrity with a world-renowned talent. If Sun Wentai captures us, he will definitely coerce us to ask General Gao to submit to him , so you will not make things difficult for us.”

Although it was words of comfort, Diao Chan's words made sense.Cao Cao is the hero of the times, and there is absolutely no reason why he cannot be subdued. Sun Jian knows this very well.Therefore, if Cao Cao's wives and concubines were captured by Sun Jian, they would be of no use, and it would be hard to say how they would be treated.However, if the many civil and military family members under Cao Cao's tent were acquired by Sun Jian, they might not be treated miserably, and they might be raised with good food and drink, so that those civil servants and military generals could serve Sun Jian.

After figuring this out, Guo Cui and Cao Ming felt a little relieved, but when Cao Ming thought of Diao Chan's sentence "If Xuchang is broken, Cao Mengde will die", he couldn't help feeling sad.

Diao Chan observed the words and expressions, and knew why the other party was sad, but she didn't have a better way to persuade her. At this time, no matter what she said, it would not have much effect, and she could only let her feel sad alone.

At the same time, Diao Chan was secretly rejoicing.In the past, when Jia Xu offered advice to the Yan family, letting himself pretend to be tall and obedient, in order not to be allowed by Cao Cao, he still felt very wronged and depressed, thinking that although this move was for his own protection, it was ultimately a loss of reputation. .But looking at it now, if I am not Gao Shun's "concubine" now, after Xuchang City is broken, how can I keep my integrity as a mere widow of Lu Bu?

Thinking of this, Diao Chan became a little worried about Yan and Lu Bu's daughter, Lu Lingqi.

But the so-called helplessness is what it is. Although Diao Chan is worried about Yan Shi, she is a weak woman and has no ability to change anything about it.Looking for someone to hide them? Xuchang City is not small, but if it is big, it seems that there is only such a small space in total. Where can they be hidden in the end?Now we can only hope that Sun Jian's army will not attack them after they enter the city.
