"Yes, my lord"

After Zhao Yun left, Liu Qing, under the care of his personal guards, got up, walked two steps, felt fine, and finally followed out of the room.

"Kill ......" Zhao Yun came to the city wall, looked at the dense Cao army, and ran to the city wall with a cloud ladder, so he also joined the team, Zhao Yun and Li Yan are generals who fought and didn't want to die, Liu Qing came out to look at the two of them, shook his head helplessly, and arranged siege equipment with his personal guards.

Although there are many Cao troops, there are also many Liu Qingjun in the city, but there are not many troops needed to defend the city, only enough soldiers are needed to guard the vital parts, and then some soldiers will deliver rolling stones, boiling oil, and some soldiers will release bows and arrows.

Chen Liu is in the east of the Tiger Prison, and Cao Cao's arrows, rolling stones and other tools for defending and attacking the city prepared in Chen Liu are very sufficient, these are cheap Liu Qing, looking at the stones one by one, the oil and water are in contact with Cao Jun, even Liu Qing, who has killed many people, has an unbearable look on his face.

Attacking and defending the city, fighting to the death, from morning, to evening, from night, to morning, just like that, fighting for two days in a row, Cao Cao did not shake Chen Liu, but Liu Qing's side was miserable, the soldiers could not rest for days, and they were already exhausted, but when Cao Cao's army rushed over, he had to continue to defend.

In the Taishou Mansion in Chen Liucheng, Liu Qingjia did not leave his body, did not leave his hand, sat on top of the position, looked at Zhao Yun, Li Yan and others below, and asked with a serious face: "Zhengfang, have you ever found out when Luoyang's reinforcements will arrive."

When Li Yan heard this, he shook his head and said: "Lord, the day before yesterday, our department detected that the Luoyang reinforcements had left the Tiger Prison Pass in the east, but somehow, after they left the Tiger Prison Pass, they disappeared without a trace, and now they don't know where they are going."

"Have you ever found out who the leading coach is" Liu Qing listened to Li Yan's words, frowned and continued to ask.

Li Yan replied again when he heard this: "Lord, this has been discovered, the leader of the army is General Zhang Xiu, and at the same time, General Dian Wei and Jia Xu are accompanying him."

Liu Qing was shocked when he heard this, so the main personnel of Luoyang came, but after thinking about it for a while, he was relieved, who would dare to slack off when he Liu Qing asked for help.

"Forget it, since Jia Xu is leading the team, then he must have his thoughts, and the outside still doesn't care about the reinforcements, Zilong, what is the loss of our army."

When Zhao Yun heard this, he said respectfully: "Lord, my subordinates have just counted, I have suffered heavy casualties, more than half of the more than 40,000 people have been killed or wounded, and the rest are generally exhausted."

Liu Qing sighed when he heard this, and said, "In this way, you can also send those Cao troops who surrendered."

"My lord, this is not good, at a critical juncture, if those people mutinate, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"I know this, but now at a critical juncture, there is no way to put them together, I hope they can delay some time, and give General Huang of Qingzhou some time, so that they can capture Le'an as soon as possible, so that Cao Cao can come back to help."

Just when Liu Qing thought that the army in Qingzhou could let Cao Cao return to the army, he didn't know that Cao Cao's camp also discussed this matter.

"Lord, our army is constantly attacking the city, so the losses are very heavy, it is better to let the soldiers rest in the siege" said that it was Dong Zhao, a strategist under Cao Cao's account, Dong Zhao was originally a Dingtao person, in his previous life, he served under Yuan Shao's account, and then under Zhang Yang's account, and finally under Cao Cao's account.

Dong Zhao is middle-aged, with extraordinary strategy, and even more incorruptible and benevolent morality, so he is highly valued by Cao Cao, Cao Cao listened to Dong Zhao's words, his face did not change, and he set his eyes on another person, this person is Cao Cao's most relied on strategist Cheng Yu.

Cao Cao didn't answer Dong Zhao's words, and asked Cheng Yu, "Zhongde, what do you think of Gongren's opinion?"

"Hehe, although the opinion of the lord and the father-in-law is good, it is not conducive to the use of this place, at the moment it seems that our army occupies the initiative, in fact, Liu Qing occupies the initiative, if our army does not attack Chenliu, and when Liu Qing's reinforcements come, it will be difficult to take Chenliu, and if our army can't recapture Chenliu, then my Yanzhou and Yuzhou will be under the iron hooves of Liu Qing's army, and Liu Qing can capture my Yuzhou and Qingzhou at any time, and then our department will become the second Yuan Shao."

Cheng Yu said these words, in fact, Cao Cao knew, but Cao Cao, who valued Dong Zhao, was unwilling to break his heart, so he said it through Cheng Yu's mouth.

"Gongren, do you still want to suggest that the officers and soldiers of our army rest and fight again?"

When Dong Zhao heard this, he knelt directly in front of Cao Cao, and said ashamedly: "My subordinates are confused, please forgive my lord."

Cao Cao looked at Dong Zhao's appearance, stepped forward directly to help him up, and then said to Cheng Yu on the side: "Zhongde, yesterday Le'an came to report that Huang Zhong under Liu Qing's tent led 100,000 troops to attack my Le'an, thanks to your foresight, let Gongda dispatch some defenders from other places to go, otherwise we are afraid that we will take advantage of the prosperity to recapture Chen Liu, and return with a happy return, here Cao Mou thanked him" Cao Cao said and bowed deeply to Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu was terrified when he saw this, and hurriedly knelt in front of Cao Cao, "Lord, you can't do such a big gift, it's your duty for your subordinates to do these things."

It turned out that when Cao Cao set off for Chenliu, he had already listened to Cheng Yu's advice and mobilized a total of 300,000 troops from Yanzhou and Yuzhou, 200,000 of which were led by Cao Cao to Chenliu, and the other 100,000 were led by Cao Ren to Qingzhou Le'an to guard against Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong led an army of 100,000 and raided Le'an according to Liu Qing's orders, but was caught off guard by Cao Ren, who had already been prepared. The strength of the two sides defending the city and attacking the city was equal, and Huang Zhong of course could not capture Le'an, so he could only send people to Beihai to move rescue troops, which lasted for two days, delaying some time, making the plan to contain Cao Cao completely failed.

Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, and helped him up, then returned to his position and said to Cheng Yu: "Zhongde, do you think that Chen Liu can be defeated in a few days outside."

Cheng Yu deserves to be a top strategist, listening to Cao Cao's words, he stabilized his mind and began to analyze the situation of Chen Liu for Cao Cao, "My lord, from the battle situation in the past few days, it can be inferred that it will not take more than five days to break Chen Liu."

"Well, why do you say that?"

"Lord, you probably also know that the casualties of our army have been getting less and less in the past few days, which can show that the garrison force in Chen Liunei is not very large, and the soldiers who are defending the city in these few days have already been physically and mentally exhausted, and because of this situation, our army's casualties are getting less and less, and according to my calculations, ......"
