Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 384 Fighting side by side with Big Brother

Xin Ping was overjoyed, "Shijun is really a trustworthy person, I will return to Liyang to report to you son. If Cao Cao retreats, I will be very grateful!"

Zhou Cang called Zhou Wen over, and the two closed the door and murmured for a long time before deciding to send envoys to Xudu. Zhou Wen had already selected the candidate for the envoy, and he was No.3 in this big exam, Wu Zhi from Jiyin, Yanzhou.According to Zhou Wen, Wu Zhi had a quick mind and a talent for learning, and he showed his excellence when he first entered the staff department.Since Zhou Wen had approved the candidate, Zhou Cang didn't think too much about it, and gave Zhou Wen full authority to deal with it, and began to call himself sick and move into the college's pharmacy.

When Cao Cao's messenger arrived in Xuzhou, Zhou Cang was no longer in sight.Zhao Yu received the messenger, and according to Zhou Cang's instructions, Wu Zhi and the messenger were sent back to Cao Cao.

Simpi traveled all the way to Jizhou, reported to Yuan Shang that Cao Cao led an army of [-] to attack Liyang, and asked Yuan Shang to send reinforcements.

"Why did Fengji not return when he went to Liyang?" asked the examiner.

"Because Cao Cao sent troops to attack, Feng Ji stayed in Liyang to help the eldest son defend the city." Simpi replied.

The judge was suspicious, but he couldn't find a reason to doubt it.

Yuan Shang ordered Jiang Yiqu to be the general, and led [-] elite troops to Liyang for rescue.The examiner hurriedly stopped him and said, "My lord should personally lead the army to resist the enemy."

Yuan Shang was puzzled, why should I personally lead the army?
The judge said: "Cao Cao leads the army in person. It is no small matter. If the lord does not come out, he will be afraid of Cao Cao. The lord will fight in person, which will strengthen our army's prestige and improve the morale of our army. Soldiers use their lives, and Cao Cao can be defeated!"

The judge whispered in Yuan Shang's ear again: "My lord, be careful, Jiang Yiqu is gone forever."

Yuan Shang understood what he should do if the soldiers he sent were drawn over by Yuan Tan. Then Yuan Tan's power became stronger, and his own would be smaller. The worry of the judges was not unreasonable.Jiang Yiqu is a veteran in the army, and his attitude affects many people. Now Jiang Yiqu supports Yuan Shang, and when Li Yang is by Yuan Tan's side, it may not be what will happen.

In fact, Shen Pei was unwilling to send reinforcements to Yuan Tan from the bottom of his heart, and he wished to use Cao Cao's hand to get rid of Yuan Tan.However, for the sake of Hebei, Li Yang cannot afford to lose.

"Then according to what you said, I will personally lead [-] elite soldiers to Liyang, and fight side by side with my elder brother! I promise not to return until Cao Cao is defeated!" Yuan Shang drew out his sword and pointed at Liyang, his appearance was very cool.

30 became [-], and the strength of Jizhou returned to [-], but this is actually the total strength of the four states of Hebei, including [-] in Youzhou, [-] in Bingzhou, [-] in Qingzhou, [-] in Liyang, and [-] in Liyang. There are [-] soldiers in Suoye City, [-] soldiers from the Heishan Army, [-] soldiers from Xianbei and other nomads, and the remaining [-] people are stationed in various counties.There were no more than [-] people who could be called elites, Yuan Shangneng had [-], Yuan Tan had [-], and Yuan Xi and Gao Gan had about [-].

When Yuan Shang led his troops to the south, Xun Chen took thousands of his clansmen and servants to escort Yuan Mai out of the north gate to Youzhou.After Xinpi heard about it, he was tongue-tied and did not speak for a while, and at the same time, Xun Chen from Yingchuan didn't say anything before parting.

When Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan met, they both shed tears and called each other brothers, a touching scene of brothers and sisters respecting each other.Yuan Tan has received the reward from Xin Ping, and he is waiting patiently, how Zhou Cang can make Cao Cao retreat, and how can he recommend himself as a chariot general.Yuan Shang has already found out the whole story of the battle of Liyang, and Yuan Tan is clearly asking Feng Ji to die, so he is deeply concerned about Feng Ji's death.Cao Cao didn't attack the city, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang both wanted the other side to fight, so neither of them took the initiative to fight. Although they were in the same city, they each guarded a gate, brother Lu guarded the other.The Cao and Yuan families were in a confrontation in Liyang.

Cao Cao was under the city of Liyang, and he did not wait for the news of Xuzhou to send troops to Qingzhou. He received the report that Yuan Shang led 3 people to help, and now he is even more unable to attack the city.Cheng Yu and Xu You went around the city several times, but they still couldn't find a good way to break the city.

In terms of military strength, Cao's army is not superior. In terms of combat power, Yuan's army is all elite, and a strong attack will definitely not work. The best way is to lure Yuan's army out of the city to divide and wipe them out. However, the city only cares about defense and has no intention of going out to fight. Even if you abuse, show weakness, and seduce, you seem to disappear.

While waiting anxiously, Cao Cao waited for the courier to Xuzhou at the end of September. The courier said that Zhou Cang was ill. He seemed to be seriously ill.But Wu Zhi, an envoy from Xuzhou, came back with him, and Cao Cao summoned Wu Zhi to see him.

"I've met Lord Sikong." Wu Zhi was dressed in a green shirt, and he bowed to the ground when he saw Cao Cao.

As soon as they met, Cao Cao had a good impression of Wu Zhi. He was white-faced, square, upright, generous, and well-groomed.

"Who are you?"

"Wu Zhi, a native of Jiyin in Yanzhou, is now serving in the Xuzhou Staff Department."

It is said that Zhou Cang set up a special department in Xuzhou to participate in the research of military aircraft in the staff department. Being able to work in the staff department shows that he is a good person.Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu was from Yanzhou Chengwu. He shook his head slightly, expressing that he had never heard of Wu Zhi. He must be a newcomer discovered by Zhou Cang.

"I heard that Zhou Weiguo is sick? I don't know what it is? What's the condition?" Cao Cao didn't believe Zhou Cang's sudden illness, and the young and strong said he was sick.The news from Xudu said that Xuzhou did not send more troops to Xiapi and Pengcheng. It is very likely that Zhou Cang pretended to be sick and did not want to send troops, and sat back and watched himself fight with Eryuan.However, this seems to be different from Zhou Cang's usual style. Usually at this time, Zhou Cang would step in and get some benefits.

Wu Zhi bowed deeply, "Going back to Lord Sikong, Mr. Zhou is indeed ill. According to Mr. Hua Tuo, it's the result of overwork and grief."

It is possible to become sick from overwork. He raided Liaodong secretly, traveled back and forth for half a year, crossed the ocean, and encountered some storms and waves. He was really tired. Cao Cao nodded slightly.

"Why is Zhou Weiguo sad?" He had a son last year, and expanded his base this year. He should be proud now. Where does the sadness come from.

"Oh, Lord Sikong doesn't know something. General Dian Wei died in the battle in Liaodong this time. Dian Wei and Zhou Shijun are like brothers. They have followed the Shijun for more than [-] years and rescued them in times of crisis many times. Everyone in Xuzhou is sad. ..."

"I already know about this matter. It's a pity that one of Dianwei's generals fell. Alas, I have known Dianwei for 20 years. When I was in Xingyang, he, Weiguo and Junyi rescued me, and then escorted me to Chen Stay." Although Cao Cao is not a sentimental person, he is a person who loves talents. "However, this happened a few months ago. Zhou Weiguo also submitted a petition and asked him to be a posthumous marquis for his achievements in Guandu. I have already agreed. Could it be that Is it because of Dian Wei's death? Why is Wei Guo sick at this time?"

Cao Cao obviously didn't believe that Zhou Cang sent troops because he hurt Dianwei.
