Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 309

Feng Yao quickly untied the rope from Xia Houlan's body, smiled and stared at Xia Houlan.

At this time, Dai Ling nodded and patted Xia Houlan on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, look at me now, can you imagine that I was just a refugee fleeing for refuge!"

Xia Houlan took a deep breath, and couldn't believe it.

Xia Houlan had heard of Dai Ling's name for a long time. He was Feng Yao's most trusted general and the commander of Xiong Wei!Cao Ren was killed by one of his sticks!
That mighty nine-foot-tall body became even taller in Xia Houlan's eyes!

Feng Yao's words are attractive to Xia Houlan. If Feng Yao can move all her relatives to Yuzhou controlled by Feng Yao, it will undoubtedly be the best choice! !
Changshan County was originally Changshan Country. Since the Yellow Turban rebellion, Changshan King Liu Hao has disappeared, in other words, he has fled. To the west of Changshan is the Taihang Mountain, which stretches for thousands of miles. There are a large number of Black Mountain Army and other bandits in the mountain!And Changshan, which is located on the east side of Taihang Mountain, has become a place frequented by bandits!
If you can move away from Changshan, you can get free fields, houses, women, and tax exemptions in other places, it is really great!
Xia Houlan's eyes shone brightly, but soon dimmed again.

"Mr. Feng! Please forgive me for not agreeing to this matter!! No matter how bad Mr. Cao is, after all, he was my lord and never did anything wrong to me, so I can't betray Mr. Cao at this time. An enemy! Please put me in prison! If you are defeated by Cao Gong, Cao Gong will release me, and I will return to Cao Gong. If you can defeat Cao Gong, it is not because of my betrayal, I will also I can count on peace of mind, and then I will let Mr. Feng handle it!"

After Xia Houlan finished speaking, she picked up the rope and wrapped herself up with a firm expression.

Feng Yao was speechless, so he personally put Xia Houlan in prison, hoping that the jailer would treat Xia Houlan better.

When passing through the cell where Lu Chang was held, Lu Chang was lying leisurely in the prison reading a book. When he saw Xia Houlan approaching, he jumped up and shouted in surprise: "Xia Houlan, why don't you..."

Xia Houlan smiled wryly, "Oh, I didn't expect the two of us to meet in this place. I thought you had already encountered misfortune, but I didn't expect you to still be alive!!"

Lu Changdao: "Are you just looking forward to my death? Hehehe! You must have been caught in the trap too!!" While speaking, Lu Chang glanced at Feng Yao with a complicated expression, and bowed his hands and saluted: "Feng Yao Envoy!"

Feng Yao nodded, he had nothing to say.

Lu Chang's situation is similar to that of Xia Houlan, and he will not surrender now unless he can defeat Cao Cao and make Cao Cao lose his territory.

"Envoy Feng, although I, Chang Yi, have already been your prisoner, I have something to ask you. I want Xia Houlan to be locked up with me! Please allow me, Envoy Feng!" Lu Changyi said.

Feng Yao smiled, nodded and said: "That's good, you can talk together when you are together, so as not to be lonely!"

Xia Houlan and Lu Chang immediately thanked them when they heard the words, and Feng Yao asked the jailer to take good care of them.

The next day

As soon as it was dawn, Cao Cao launched a fierce attack, vowing to avenge yesterday.

A total of twenty catapults bombarded the city gate and tower in turn. The tower collapsed after holding on for less than half an hour. However, before that, Feng Yao had already made arrangements, except for one The bear guards stood firm on the city wall, relying on the cover of the parapet to prevent the enemy from raiding outside the city, and all the other archers withdrew to the bunkers under the city wall.

At the same time, those fixed catapults mounted on the bunker platform also began to show their power!A stone bomb kept being thrown at Cao Cao's army, causing casualties to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was so angry that he tried to send out ladder troops several times and tried to get close to the city wall, but he was beaten back.

The battle lasted for a day, and at the end of the day they all returned to their camps. More than half of Cao Cao's catapults were damaged, while only three of Feng Yao's catapults installed behind the wall were damaged.

On the third day, in less than half a day, Cao Cao's catapult completely failed.

And Feng Yao's catapult was still attacking non-stop, as long as Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers approached, they would be attacked violently immediately! !
"Despicable! Despicable!!!!" Cao Cao cursed in his heart.

"Report!! My lord!! Linqu County has been besieged by Lu Fan and Chang Xi's two armies! Zang Ba personally led an army of [-] troops to attack Linzi City, our food storage point!" The scout came to report.

Cao Cao urgently ordered the two cities to defend to the death, at least ten days or more, waiting for reinforcements! !
And this reinforcement is precisely the [-] elite Qingzhou soldiers and the [-] Yellow Turban Army that Cao Cao stayed in Linyi City to resist Lu Bu's army! !
"Snatch! Pass my order, let all the Yellow Turban Army in the nearby Qingzhou pretend to be ordinary people, go to the rear of Zang Ba - Beihai Kingdom, go snatch! Go kill!! Anyone who kills more than ten people can be promoted to governor I want to make Zang Ba's rear into chaos!" Cao Cao's eyes flashed a vicious look, full of murderous aura.

Cao Cao's generals hesitated to speak.

"Fix the catapult quickly, and Qingzhou halberd and shield soldiers stepped forward to fill up the moat for me, and prepare to fight to the death on the city!!" Cao Cao gave the order and glared at Laiwu City, "Want to be a turtle? You type it out!!"

……

Yanzhou, northeast of Juancheng, about thirty miles away, is called Qinting.

At Qinting, the Yellow River made a sharp turn, changing from a west-east flow to a north-south flow. Because of the spring rain, from the upper reaches of the Yellow River to the middle reaches, and then to this place, the water flow has become Very fast!
And because the water flow turned here, a lot of sediment was deposited, which raised the river bed a lot. In the past, in peacetime, all states and counties would control the water, raise the dams on both sides of the bank a little bit, and repair the loopholes, but since the Yellow Turban After the chaos, the Yellow River has not been overhauled for ten years.

At this time, three middle-aged men dressed as ordinary people, each holding a shovel and other tools, appeared under the embankment. Looking at their expressions and physiques, it was immediately clear that these three were not local farmers.

These three people are the Qingzhou soldiers who came to dig the embankment under the secret order of Cao Cao! !

If you want to break the entire levee, it is impossible for the three of them to do so. All three of them have already obtained a plan from Cao Cao to quickly destroy the levee.

That is to find a place with hidden dangers, quietly dig a small tunnel under the water level, as long as people can drill through it, and people can transport the soil inside!Such a hole is still very easy to realize, as long as it is dug through, the water will gushes out of the hole, and soon the hole will become bigger and bigger, and finally the entire dam will collapse! !

"How is it? Have you found the place where the water seeps?" One of the Qingzhou soldiers headed by them asked nervously.

"Yes! There is a place about fifty feet away from here. It is very hidden, and no one goes there. I found that there is some water seepage in that place!" said a Qingzhou soldier.

"Okay!! Let's start from there!! Brothers, the success or failure of the lord this time is all up to the three of us. If this can be done, our family will be able to live comfortably for the rest of their lives! The work has been rewarded!!"
