The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 164 Not in a hurry to seize the city
Yuan Xu drove the murderous corpse to Shouchun City.

Cao Ren and others who went out of the city to hibernate earlier hid in the dark to observe.

Seeing the black corpses, Xia Houyuan said in amazement, "Why are there so many?"

"Huainan is a place of many battles, and many people died here." Cao Ren said, "Yuan Xianxin probably hasn't dispatched all the murderous corpses yet. He must have left behind."

Cao Ren once saw Yuan Xu driving the murderous corpse.

Cao Hong asked him: "Brother saw Yuan Xianxin driving the corpses to fight in the past, do you know how to deal with it?"

Cao Ren shook his head: "At the time when Guo Fengxiao was also defeated by him, I really didn't know how to deal with it. I just heard that fire attack seems to be effective."

"Fire Attack?" Cao Hong asked, "Could it be that the soldiers we brought are completely useless against the murderous corpse?"

"We don't want to deal with the murderous corpse." Cao Hong replied, "What we have to do is to kill Yuan Xianxin."

"If he surrounds himself with fierce corpses, how will he get in?" Xia Houyuan frowned: "The living are easy to deal with, but the dead..."

"We can only take advantage of the night, when he doesn't use magic anymore." Cao Ren said, "At that time, when the soldiers charged up, with the hundreds of people around him, they shouldn't be able to stop them."

The three generals led [-] Cao troops, hibernating in the mountains and forests, quietly waiting for the night to fall.

On the top of the city, Cao Cao watched the tide of murderous corpses lined up outside the city.

He clenched his fists tightly and looked solemn.

Cao Cao knew very well that if Yuan Xu could not be driven away in this battle, from now on, there would be no more Cao family in the world.

Arriving outside Shouchun City, Yuan Xu didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack.

He just drove the murderous corpses to line up, and ordered the guards to light a fire and cook.

Cooking smoke curled up, hovering outside Shouchun City. For Cao Cao on the top of the city, this was an inexplicable provocation.

His face was swollen into a pig liver color, Cao Cao looked at the army of murderous corpses outside the city without saying a word.

"Yuan Xianxin is really insane." Xun Yu, who was by his side, said, "When Shouchun came, he was not in a hurry to attack the city, and only started a fire outside the city."

"He's provoking on purpose." Cao Cao said, "What he wants is for me to mess myself up."

"Since my lord understands, he should not be influenced by him." Xun Yu replied.

"Although it is clear, there are countless murderous corpses outside the city, how can it not be affected?" Cao Cao sighed: "Why is there Yuan Xianxin in the world..."

"My lord, it's obviously useless to think about this." Xun Yu and Cao Cao are old friends for many years, and their words are relatively casual: "Now what I should think about is how to break it."

Looking at Xun Yu, Cao Cao nodded: "Wen Ruo is right..."

He admitted that Xun Yu was right, but he was still annoyed.

In the battle of Guandu, it was obvious that the Cao family had the upper hand, but Yuan Xu came out and disrupted all the plans.

The Cao family, which had the potential to replace the Yuan family as the overlord of the north, is now so desolate that it is trapped in the small Shouchun City, unable to enter or exit.

The guards lit a fire, and Yuan Xu called Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan to sit around the fire with him.

Turning over a meat skewer in his hand, he sprinkled seasonings, and asked Yuan Tan and the others: "Eldest brother and the two generals used to lead troops on expeditions, did the soldiers have meat every day?"

"Meat?" Yuan Tan shook his head: "It's good to have food to fill your stomach. Except for some wild animals occasionally, how can you see meat?"

"Since the conquest of the Xiongnu, I have figured out one thing." Yuan Xu said: "Whenever you go out, you can't lead too many troops."

"Why?" Yuan Tan looked surprised: "It's just a murderous corpse. I'm afraid I can't do many things."

"Bring more than a hundred people to do those things." Yuan Xu replied: "The fierce corpses go out to fight, and the guards take care of the daily life. In this way, fighting is not much different from playing."

Yuan Xu confuses war with play, Yuan Tan and others are all surprised.

"Young master regards the war as a game, but you feel that the world is in your hands?" Sun Guan asked.

"Not necessarily." Yuan Xu replied: "Only [-]% sure."

Looking at the world, there are countless heroes, and I dare say that there is [-]% sure of the world, except for Yuan Xu, I am afraid that there is no one else.

"Xianxin is worried about Nanhua?" Yuan Tan asked once hearing that Nanhua was against Yuan Xu and was proficient in immortal arts.

"Nanhua is just an ordinary person." Yuan Xu replied, "He has nothing to worry about. What I worry about is that many other fairy families suddenly appear."

He handed the grilled meat skewers to Yuan Tan: "Brother, try it first."

"It's better for Xianxin to eat first." Even though they are brothers, now that Yuan Xu is the lord of Hebei, how could Yuan Tan dare to pick him up.

"There's no one else, so it's okay for the elder brother to eat first." Yuan Xu forced it to him.

After receiving the meat skewers, Yuan Tan pleaded guilty, and then bit off a piece.

The expression on his face changed as soon as the piece of meat was in his mouth: "Xianxin's grilled meat skewers are delicious that I have never tasted before."

"Eldest brother, haven't you been to the auction house?" Yuan Xu asked.

"No." Yuan Tan replied truthfully: "It's Xianxin's property there. I used to be narrow-minded..."

"There's no need to mention the past." Yuan Xu interrupted him: "In the future, it's enough for the elder brother to be able to relieve Hebei's worries."

Upon receiving Yuan Xu's words, Yuan Tan immediately stated that he would follow him to the death from now on.

"Master just said that he was worried about other immortal families." Sun Guan still remembered what Yuan Xu said: "I don't know what else?"

"When I was attacking the Xiongnu, I met Zuo Ci." Yuan Xu replied, "He has the same ability as me, he has the ability to drive the dead, but the number is not so many."

Yuan Tan and others have also heard of Zuo Ci's reputation.

Yuan Tan said: "It is said that Zuo Ci is good at intercourse, did Xianxin catch him and ask?"

"It's the time when I'm young and full of vigor, can I need those?" Yuan Xu chuckled: "If the elder brother wants it, I will ask for it for you when I meet him later."

From Yuan Xu's tone, Yuan Tan and others could tell that he and Zuo Ci were not hostile.

"Young Master met Zuo Ci, what do you say?" Sun Guan asked curiously.

"You should all have seen my mount." Yuan Xu looked at the unicorn: "It was Zuo Ci who instructed me to go to Wuliangsuhai to find it."

Seeing a unicorn for the first time, Yuan Tan and the others were deeply moved that there are horses with horns on their heads.

After Yuan Xu's explanation, they realized that this horse was not an ordinary horse.

Holding a few meat skewers, Yuan Xu chatted with Yuan Tan and others while turning them over.

Zang Ba asked, "When is your master going to attack the city?"

"There is no rush to attack the city." Yuan Xu replied, "The food and grass we brought is enough to last for a year. The siege of murderous corpses will cost nothing, and Hebei can still support a hundred or ten people."

"Since we're here, we can't just sit like this." Zang Ba didn't understand why Yuan Xu didn't rush to attack the city at all.

"The ambush outside the city is not eliminated, how can we take the city with confidence?" Yuan Xu smiled lightly: "I have sent the dead to search for the traces of the ambush."
