"Lord..." Cao Ren walked quickly into the hall and said with a heavy face: "Zhang Yong and Gao Shun, raise your troops again. It's less than 20 Li from here. In addition, Xu Huang led the United forces to invade Lujiang County. "

After listening to this report, Cao Cao only frowned a little and didn't react too much. It seemed that this was all in his expectation.

Xiahou Dun became impatient: "mengde, we retreat to this city, which is already the last territory of Yuzhou. If this city is lost, Liu He's army will be able to drive into Jingzhou, and then we will be all finished."

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and eyes and looked at the generals, but his mouth showed a little smile, which made the people even more puzzled.

At this time, Cao Cao said, "Yangzhou and Xuzhou, what's the matter?"

Xi Zhong stepped forward and said, "back to the Lord, Sun Jian has promised to form an alliance with our army, but he has put forward two conditions."

"I knew this guy would take advantage of the fire. Tell me."

"First, he asked to cede Jingzhou to him. Moreover, before the formal alliance, Jiangxia county must be transferred. "

Cao Cao said with a faint smile: "Sun Jian is very good at choosing when to speak. Jiangxia is bordering on Lujiang River. It's OK to give it to him. I agree with this one. And second? "

"Article 2. The court shall assign Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Jiaozhou to the sun family without hereditary succession. All important military and political affairs of the three prefectures shall be decided by the sun himself. Every year, the imperial court shall only pay to the court, and the court shall not interfere in the affairs of the three States."

As soon as Xi Zhong's voice fell, Xia Houdun almost jumped up: "what a thief, bullying too much!"

"Sit down." Cao Cao yelled at him. Although Xia Hou Dun was angry, he had to sit back.

Playing with a bronze wine bottle on the table, Cao Cao slowly opened his mouth: "Sun Jian clearly wants to break the soil and seal the king. Do you think you should agree?"

Guo Jia came forward and said, "my subordinates think we should answer."

"Oh? Tell me why. "

"If our army can't defeat Liu He, it will vanish in an instant. Naturally, this promise is also invalid. If our army can win and ask for Central Plains, can Sun Jian has the final say if he can take away the three states?

Guo Jia's few words made Cao Cao smile: "it's not bad. It's reasonable to be filial. Well, I've agreed to both

"Yes, I'm going to reply to Sun Jian." Xi Zhong was about to turn around and leave when Cao Cao asked.

"What about Liu Bei?"

"Back to my Lord, according to Mr. Chang Wen's return, Liu Bei flatly rejected the idea of our army's alliance, but he didn't embarrass Changwen. Instead, he said that he had been instructed by his father, Chen Ji, when he was traveling around, so he stayed in Donghai County for a few days to persuade him to stay in Xuzhou."

"Oh? That's interesting. He was loyal to Liu He, but he was very polite to me, the so-called messenger sent by a rebellious son... " In Cao Cao's eyes, the fine light twinkled.

Cheng Yu said: "Liu Bei, who was a teacher of Lu Zhi in his early years, had never heard of any contact with Chen Ji. Even if he had, he would have been only one-sided. There was no sense of gratitude. Liu Bei's move was somewhat abnormal."

Cao Cao nodded slightly and agreed with this statement.

"What is the reason for Liu Bei's refusal?"

"Back to the Lord, he said that the son of heaven is wise and kind today, and he has not made any big mistakes. As a minister and a brother of the emperor, how can he do something contrary?"

Cao Cao's brow twisted and fell into deep thought, but he soon expanded.

"Ha ha ha Liu Bei, Liu Bei People all say I'm a traitor. Now it seems that Liu Bei's cunning is not under me... "

After saying that, he was looking straight: "since Liu He has not made a big mistake, then let's make one for him. What's the difficulty?"

While talking, a soldier came into the hall in a hurry.

"Newspaper The enemy general Cheng Liang, with 20000 troops and horses, suddenly appeared outside Shenyang City... "

"Shua..." Cao Cao's face changed greatly: "Cheng liang? How could he have killed here all of a sudden? "

Xia Hou Yuan said: "mengde, Shenyang City is the only place for our army to pass from Ancheng to Jingzhou. If it is occupied by Cheng Liang, our army will be unstable, especially those Jingzhou soldiers who have no intention of fighting any more. They will ask for instructions and immediately lead the troops to resist Chengliang."

Although Cao Cao was frightened, he did not panic. He immediately rejected Xia Houyuan's proposal.

"Miaocai's injury is just beginning to heal. Although Cheng Liang is not as good as Guan Yu and others, he is also a famous general under Liu He's command. The God of his commander, tiger riding, is extremely powerful and fierce, and is also the enemy of cavalry."

Then, without waiting for Xia Houyuan to speak, Cao Cao looked at Dian Wei: "Dian Wei, you immediately lead 20000 soldiers, plus 5000 rattan soldiers, go to meet."

When Dianwei turned to leave, Xia Houdun was puzzled: "Meng De, that stupid Deputy General of Dianwei and Cheng Liang had a very close personal relationship. Even though Miao was injured, there were still many generals in the army. Why did he send him alone?"Cao Cao shook his head: "Cheng Liang and the man named da Meng are both powerful generals in the world. The only ones who can beat him in the army are your brothers, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Huang Zhong. Both miaocai and Xu Chu recovered from serious injuries and were not suitable for expeditions. And you have the highest prestige in the army. Now you are about to face the attack of Zhang Yong and Gao Shun. You are also inconvenient to leave. As for Han Sheng, his archery skills are extraordinary and even more superior to Miao CAI. Now that Miao Cai is injured, the responsibility of commander in chief of the bow and crossbow team naturally falls on Han Sheng's head. When guarding the city, the bow and crossbow team is particularly important and can't be slack. Therefore, there is no other candidate except Dian Wei. "

When Xia Houdun heard the speech, he could not think of a second person suitable for fighting, so he stopped talking.

Seeing his look, Cao Cao knew that he was still worried. He said, "although Dianwei was familiar with that stupid big fierce since he was a child, he is loyal and will never abandon public affairs for personal love. I can trust him. Well, the enemy is coming. Let's discuss the matter of guarding the city. If you want to survive until the sun and Liu families fight against the enemy, you have to have a lot of arrangements. "

The crowd immediately began to blurt out all kinds of suggestions.

At noon, Cao Cao had just ordered his servants to bring some wine and meat for a good meal. Suddenly, he heard a cry of killing outside the city.

Cao Cao suddenly raised his head: "here we are..."

Zhang Yong and Gao Shun, a total of 200000 troops, came from different directions in a mighty manner. The roar of a full 200000 people almost lifted the tiles out of the city building, and the birds in the woods around them also fled.

Before long, the army had surrounded an city.

Zhang Yong and Gao Shun went to the east gate and North Gate of the city respectively. Without any delay, they immediately ordered the attack.

"Hoo Hoo..."

"Hula..."

Ladder, Jinglan chariot, fire beast, broken stone crossbow, thunderbolt, and many sharp weapons to attack the city, one after another.

For a time, crossbows and flints flew towards the city wall, and the fire beast also spurted out a huge flame, baking the four sides of the city gate, and at the same time constantly launched a collision on the city gate.

"Come on On the boulder... "

At Cao Cao's command, the soldiers raised the huge stones that had been prepared for a long time, and soon blocked the gate of the city.

The city gate was originally reformed by Cao Cao. It was made of pure iron. It was very hard and was not afraid of being roasted by fire. In addition, many huge stones blocked the gate. Although the fire beast was fierce, it could not do anything for a moment.

On top of the city wall, huge cowhide pieces were opened at the same time. Each piece of cowhide was folded and sewn up with multiple layers of fur. The surface was polished smooth and coated with fireproof paint. No matter how the crossbows and arrows were fired, how powerful the firestones of the thunderbolt chariot were, they were all blocked.

After each wave of crossbow and flint attacks, the cowhide would be immediately put away. The Cao Army soldiers hiding behind had already put bows and arrows on the bowstring. After the cowhide was put away, thousands of arrows would be fired at once.

"Wow..."

One of the Han soldiers who attacked the city fell off the ladder after being hit by an arrow.

Zhang Yong frowned slightly: "this Cao Cao is really well prepared. I have to come this time. Order, shield. "

And Gao Shun also issued the same order almost at the same time.

On all sides of the city gate appeared a troop of soldiers with shields, which were not heavier than the shields of Han soldiers, but were made of hardwood, standing on the ground only to the waist, much lighter than the heavy shields.

A team of shield soldiers put the shield on their heads with one hand, and quickly grasped the ladder with the other hand. Although it was only one hand, they climbed the ladder at a speed not slow at all, which showed that they were well-trained.

Cao Cao didn't panic. He snorted coldly and waved his hand behind him

A group of soldiers soon set up a huge iron pot beside the wall. Under the oil pan, the fire was fierce, and soon the oil in the iron pan was boiling.

"Pour..."

Cao Cao ordered that all the oil pots were lifted up by the soldiers, and then all the boiling oil poured down to the outside of the city wall.

"Yi la..."

With the smell of barbecue, the Han soldiers who were drenched with boiling oil immediately screamed.

Although the shield could withstand the arrow attack, several soldiers were climbing on each ladder at the same time. On the ground under the wall, there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses waiting for orders at any time. After the oil spilled, it scattered around the shield and inevitably fell on the soldiers on the ladder below or beside it. Most of the oil was poured on the Han Army under the city.

"Then logs, rolling stones."

Cao Cao was calm and had a good command. After two waves of counterattack, the shield soldiers on the ladder had been beaten to pieces, and the Han soldiers under the city were also terrified.

At this time, stones and logs were smashed from the wall.Rolling stones and logs, which are heavy, and fall from high places with heavy force, are not the only shields that can resist it?

After several attacks, Zhang Yong and Gao Shun ordered the shield soldiers on the ladder to withdraw, either dead or wounded.

"What a Caocao, he guarded the city like an iron bucket. It was really powerful. However, you have many means. Bo Ping and I have prepared for this war for a long time, but will there be less means? Let go the carrier pigeons... "

"Puleng" Dozens of carrier pigeons were flying at the same time.

Cao Cao's face changed: "this is..."

When he was wondering, a cry of killing came from the city behind him.

"Kill..."

"Capture the thief Cao..."

Cao Cao quickly turned to the inner side of the wall and looked into the city.

Suddenly, dozens of fires appeared in the city. Even the county government where he lived temporarily was engulfed by the fire.

People in all kinds of costumes suddenly rushed out from all corners of the city. Some of them were beggars, some were merchants, some were farmers, some were even the servants of every residence in the city, and even the servants of the county government.

However, no matter what their previous status in the city, after seeing the carrier pigeons, all of them became soldiers of the Han army. There were thousands of them, each armed with a weapon, and they all went to kill in one direction.

"What a Liu He, he has planted many detailed works in this city without being aware of it..."

Cao Cao only felt headache.

Cao Ren suddenly pointed to a direction and exclaimed: "no, my Lord, they are going to burn our grain depot!"

Cao Cao was surprised and looked at the direction he pointed to. It was not surprising that the direction that more than 1000 people were heading for was where he was hoarding military grain in the city.

"Come on, stop them..."

Several generals rushed to the grain depot from the gate.

However, they were a little slow. They had no mind to calculate and have a mind. They had been careful and had already figured out the terrain of the city. How could Cao Jun catch up with the city gate?

Soon, these detailed works came to a huge granary.

Many buildings were on fire around the grain depot. The soldiers guarding the warehouse inevitably sent many people to put out the fire. In this way, are the remaining guards at the gate the opponents of these Eagle guards?

"Poo Yi..."

The leader of these detailed works of the flying eagle guards was sent by Liu He to present his own amulet to Dong Zhuo in order to win trust from one of his two flying eagle guards, Fang Mu and Fang gongze.

He made a soul chasing sword like you's brother. Every time the blade was cut out, a Cao soldier died by the knife.

When they do not, they will attack Qianwei.

"That's great. It's easy. Let's burn the food and see how the thief Cao can fight with hunger."

Fang Mu was surprised and pleased. Holding a torch, he rushed into the granary. The other Eagle guards were not polite. Everyone carried a torch and scattered in the granary.

Soon there was a blaze in the barn.

"It's done, brothers. Go to the east gate, open the gate, and welcome the general into the city..."

Fang Mu breathed and let go a carrier pigeon. Then he took more than a thousand Eagle guards and ran towards the east gate together.

Zhang Yong and Gao Shun both looked happy when they saw the carrier pigeons flying in the city.

"Well, it's done. Soldiers, attack the city with all our strength..."
