Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 704
After Wu Shun's arrangements were completed, the entire Wuling army began to mobilize, and the cavalry troops near Xudu were scattered around the city.

The scope of Cao Jun's scouts has shrunk sharply. Under the control of the Wuling Army, Cao Jun can only stick to Xudu. As for what is happening in the area outside the city, it is basically guesswork.

Prime Minister's House.

Naturally, Cao Cao knew about the actions of the Wuling army outside the city with great fanfare.The war is approaching, and he needs to call everyone under his command to discuss countermeasures.

The three brothers Liu Bei, who usually don't appear here, are sitting there impressively. Cao Jun's generals and advisers know that the Wuling Army may be about to go to war.

"Everyone, I think you all already know what Wu Shun did, so let's talk about how to deal with it." Cao Cao got up and said.

During this period of time, he also thought hard about a strategy to retreat from the enemy, but unfortunately he really didn't think of any good way.

Fortunately, Xu is his territory, there are many capable men and warriors, and he has many good talents under his command.

In Cao Cao's view, if the Wuling army wanted to launch an attack, he could only guard against it.He persisted until the north entered the period of ice and snow, so that he could have a chance to breathe.

"My lord, the Wuling army is going to attack, and the last general is only waiting for the first battle!"

Cao Ren came out and said.

The number of Wuling troops outside the city is 10,000+, and some tricks can't play a decisive role.

If the two forces want to decide the winner, they will eventually go through a face-to-face battle slowly.

For the current situation in Xudu, for Cao Jun, there is only one battle!
"General Zixiao is right, the soldiers will block the water and cover it with earth!" Xu Huang stepped out.

The generals never knew that Cao Jun had no way out.

war!
If you win, you can continue to fight. If you lose, you can only watch the Wuling army sweep the world.Today, Cao Jun is the only threatening enemy of Wuling Army.

And when dealing with enemies, no matter who they are, they will be very vicious!
"Xuande, what do you think?" Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei, trying to find a breakthrough from Liu Bei.

But who is Liu Bei?He is a ghost, he knows that Cao Cao has no good way to deal with Wu Shun now, and wants to hear his opinion.However, he, Liu Bei, was also in a state of helplessness against the Wuling Army.

Based on this mentality, it is impossible for Liu Bei to make any exciting suggestions to Cao Cao.

"Prime Minister, I thought that the city walls of Xudu are tall and the soldiers are fine and food is sufficient, so they only need to hold on to the city. Although the Wuling army is numerous, they may not be able to break through the city."

What Liu Bei said was Cao Cao's only advantage.

Cao Cao occupies a favorable location, and the people are harmonious.The aristocratic families in the city tried their best to support Cao Cao because they were afraid that Wuling would come in.Basically, money for money, food for food.

At this time, those who were still staying in Xudu were those who had hoped for Cao Cao and who hated the Yizhou policy.

They are willing to use their family's resources to supply Cao Cao, let Cao Jun defeat the Wuling Army, and protect their interests from infringement.

"It's not so easy for the Wuling Army to destroy Xudu. With the unity of Xudu's army and people, they will surely defeat Wu Shun and force him back to Yizhou!"

Cao Cao felt a little disappointed when he couldn't hear the advice to cheer him up, but he had enough heart for the soldiers under his command when it came to defending the city.

……

"Report~"

"Prime Minister, a cavalry force from the Wuling Army is heading to the rear of Xudu..."

Everyone in the hall saw that it was Cao Jun's scout.

"How many troops?" Cao Cao asked.

"More than ten thousand cavalry!" The scout replied.

"With [-] cavalry entering the rear of Xu Du, what is Wu Shun's purpose?"

When Cao Cao asked, the scout knelt on the ground and remained silent. He didn't know what Wu Shun's purpose was, he just ran back to convey the military information.

"My lord, the Wuling army is about to attack the city. Although they are mobilizing frequently, it's just the cavalry dispatching. Don't worry about it."

Xun You said.

He believes that there are only [-] cavalry, which will not have much impact on Xu Du.Moreover, Xu did not break, and it was useless to let the Wuling army go deep into the rear.

This is a false move!Xun You thought so.

"My lord, it's better to send someone to find out the intention of that cavalry!"

Xun Yu said.

Xun You said it didn't matter, it was only for Xu Du, if the [-] Wuling Army cavalry were running around in the rear, it would inevitably affect the entire layout.

"Send scouts, and we must find out the arrangement of the Wuling Army!" Cao Cao ordered.

"The last general obeys orders!" Cao Ren immediately stepped out.

In Xudu, he was in charge of defense, and sent out scouts to investigate the enemy's situation, which naturally fell under his arrangement.

Cao Cao called everyone to discuss this time to no avail.

How to mobilize the Wuling Army or how to mobilize it is so blatant!
This practice of almost ignoring Cao Jun's scouts made Cao Cao and his advisers passive.

I don't know Wu Shun's true intention!

This is the biggest problem Cao Jun is facing now. The Wuling Army is mobilized like this, and it will definitely not be like this in a real fight. This is common sense.

With this kind of thinking, the Cao Cao Group did not understand what the Wuling Army wanted to do.

When they really couldn't figure it out, they even thought that the Wuling army would launch an attack soon. In this case, Wu Shun's intentions would naturally be revealed.

When Cao Cao couldn't figure out Wu Shun's intentions, he didn't act rashly.He ordered Cao Jun to respond to all changes without change.

This move is a crooked attack!As long as Cao Jun stood firm, Wu Shun's series of actions would be in vain, and he could not confuse Cao Jun.

If the expected purpose is not achieved, no matter how exquisite the arrangement is, it can only be a decoration.

The Wuling army is ready to move outside the city of Xudu, but the Cao army is as stable as Mount Tai inside the city!

This is the current situation on both sides!

……

In November of the 12th year of Jian'an, the weather was cold, and there were still some snowflakes in the sky.

Just when Cao Cao thought Wu Shun was pretending to scare him, the Wuling Army attacked!

On November [-]th, Cao Ren, a famous general of the Cao Army, was assassinated by a man in black in the mansion. Fortunately, his personal guards tried their best to protect him, and Cao Ren was only shot by an arrow.

On November [-]th, General Xu Huang was assassinated. Hesitating that there were not many men in black, Xu Huang managed to escape without injury!
These two incidents reached Cao Cao's ears, which made him furious!He scolded Wu Shun for being shameless, he didn't dare to attack directly, he only dared to play some dirty tricks.

Except for the black-clothed guards of the Wuling Army, Cao Cao couldn't think of any organization with such powerful means to assassinate a local general.

Fortunately, Cao Ren and Xu Huang who were assassinated were fine, otherwise Xu Du's strength would be affected.

"Assassinate the general... that's right..."

Cao Cao suddenly remembered that it was easier for the black guard to assassinate his counselor than to assassinate the general.

"Send an order to Cao Ren, and send additional manpower to guard your lords!"

Cao Cao immediately gave Cao Ren an order.

If the guards in black really go to assassinate, people like Xun Yu, Xun You, Chen Yu, Guo Jia and others cannot stop them at all.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao broke into a cold sweat!
Wu Shun's move is not vicious, it is not vicious!
"Report, Prime Minister! Mr. Guo was seriously injured by a spies!"

As if joking with Cao Cao, as soon as the order was issued, the guards came to report the news of Guo Jia's assassination.

"go!"

Cao Cao was very anxious, Guo Jia was his right-hand assistant, and now he was stabbed and seriously injured, so he had to go and see for himself.

At the same time, the anger in Cao Cao's chest had accumulated to the extreme and was about to explode.
