The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 20 Siege of Xudu
Quietly stationed in the mountains and forests outside Xu Tian for one night, the army led by Yuan Shang continued to advance towards Xu Du.

In less than ten days, the soldiers and horses had already marched to the outer city of Xudu, looking at Xudu from afar, Yuan Shang couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

As the temporary capital of the Han Dynasty, Xu Du does have its extraordinary and unique features.

Standing in Yuan Shang's eyes, the capital towered into the sky. The city was four or five feet high, with heavy stones, thick walls, and extraordinary momentum.

The trench below is wide and deep, and the water in the middle is moist and very neat.

It was still a few miles away from the city gate of Xudu, but when he looked up carefully, he could also find a large fiery red flag swaying in the wind on the city wall. On the flag was embroidered a big black and red bordered gold character.

"Chinese!"

"Young Master, what should we do? Are you forcibly attacking the city?" Zhang Jaw immediately stepped forward and asked Yuan Shangdao.

Yuan Shang shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't be so anxious, we are here to scare you, so we can't fight them head-on!"

Gao Lan heard the words and said: "Then according to the young master's opinion, what should we do?"

Yuan Shang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said: "In this way, out of five thousand cavalry, let's send one thousand to run back and forth between the woods in the north, making him dusty and making the enemy mistakenly think that we have a large force to respond, and the rest The [-] soldiers of the army were divided into three groups to besiege the city, and they waved their flags and shouted at the east, west, and south gates respectively, with a strong momentum, leaving only the north gate to let go all the way."

Gao Lan didn't realize it for a while, and asked strangely, "Why are there three circles and one missing?"

But Zhang Jai understood: "Leave the north gate and let Cao Jun's messenger rush out to report to Cao Cao."

Yuan Shang laughed when he heard the words: "General Zhang is really smart, all right, trouble the two generals to split up immediately and prepare to siege. No, it is to siege Xudu!"

"promise!"

***********************
Xudu, Shangshu Lingfu.

Today, everyone in the world knows that in the Han Dynasty, Sikong Cao Cao suppressed the Yellow Turban, defeated Dong Zhuo, defeated Yuan Shu, eliminated Lu Bu, demoted Zhang Xiu, and expelled Liu Bei. hero.

However, how many people know that behind this illustrious military exploits, there is another person who has been stabilizing the rear for Cao Cao for ten years, formulating political strategies, handling internal affairs, recommending talents, promulgating laws, purchasing military supplies, and preparing food and grass .

It can be said that it was this person who used his back to silently support Cao Cao, or the entire Cao family, to support the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Central Plains.

At this time, the study room of the Shangshuling's mansion was still very busy. Shangshuling Xun Yu pouted his head and leaned over the desk to look through the accounts of this month's grain collection one by one.

For more than ten years, for Xun Yu, criticizing officials all day has become commonplace, and ordinary things can no longer be ordinary.

Especially at this special moment, it is even more necessary to seize the time, and not be able to relax every hour and every moment.

According to reports, the Battle of Guandu is coming to an end, and the battle ahead is already developing in a direction that is beneficial to our side. At this critical moment, he, the leader who sits in the rear for Cao Cao, needs to put up 12 points of energy and do a good job. For every small item, there may be a small mistake.

It is a pity that God's will often does not follow people's wishes.

"Mr. Ling, Mr. Xun Ling!" Xun Yu was frowning as he was reviewing official documents, but saw an attendant rushing into the study in a hurry, bowing his hands to Xun Yu: "Mr. Xun Ling, something big has happened!"

Xun Yu's expression changed. This attendant has been with him for many years, and he has always been calm and cautious. The thing that made him panic like this must be something extraordinary.

"What happened?" Xun Yu asked with a frown.

"Xun Lingjun! Something is wrong! Many Yuan Jun appeared from nowhere outside the city. They were full of murderous aura and aggressive. They stood outside my Xudu city and shouted loudly, as if they wanted to attack the city!"

Xun Yu's eyelids twitched when he heard that.
Shouldn't be early, should be late, but why come here at this time!
"How many soldiers and horses? Who is in charge?"

The attendant wiped his sweat, shook his head and said: "The sky is full of sand and dust in the north, and the pennant is swaying. I can't see how many soldiers and horses. The vanguard troops nearby are all elite cavalry. The handsome flag reads "Pioneer Officer Zhang Jaw" and "Deputy Vanguard Gao Lan" "."

Xun Yu was startled.

"It's these two who came? The only remaining two of Hebei's Four Court Columns actually came together. It seems that this time is not good. Yuan Jun actually made such a big effort to capture Xudu this time."

"Follow me to look at the city wall!" Xun Yu waved his sleeves, got up and walked out.

************************
When he reached the top of the tower, he saw that the cavalry below had surrounded the three gates, soldiers and horses were moving back and forth, shouting loudly, appearing extremely arrogant.

Looking at the distance, there is very little smoke and dust, and the sand is flying. It seems that I don't know how many soldiers and horses are bravely coming towards us, but it seems that there will be no fewer.

Under the south gate, I saw an extremely handsome young man in silver-white armor, guarded by a group of iron cavalry, came to the gate like stars holding the moon, and shouted loudly at the city wall: "Listen Cao Jun on the city wall, you are already surrounded by our army. If you are sensible, put down your weapons and surrender obediently! Don't let our army start besieging and beating you. Repeat, you are already surrounded by our army. Put down your weapons obediently, or our army will start besieging you."

Xun Yu frowned, and looked deeply at the man who was shouting, with some doubts in his heart.

This man's appearance is good and friendly, he seems to have seen it somewhere, but Xun Yu's brain power has always been excellent, and he claims that he will never forget it. If he really saw it, it is impossible for him not to remember it.

"Who is this young man?" Xun Yu couldn't figure it out.

The straight eyebrows, the bold nose bridge, the haughty posture, the bullying words.
After a while, Xun Yu was suddenly surprised: "Why does this kid look so similar to Yuan Shao when he was young!"
