Chapter 137 (II), Yan Ran is not hesitant, and she is affectionate and shallow

Cao Cao stood alone on the high hill, thinking about the battle situation, hesitant and worried.

Xin said: "I was an official in Luoyang, and I started to work in the year of my establishment, and I have experienced a hundred battles, but I have never had today's difficulties. Could it be that the heavens want to exterminate my Ang'er, so that I can't calm this Xuzhou?" Seeing the snow falling in Yuanmen, the camel-colored camp tents turned white, and the smoke everywhere in the wilderness, I couldn't help but feel even more depressed.

Cao Cao sighed, brushed his sleeves back to the tent, took out the portrait of his eldest son Cao Ang, and looked at the smiling young man in the picture, his expression was in a trance, and his mood fluctuated.

It's still snowing now, and the ice on the wall of Tanxian County is slippery like oil, how can it be attacked?

It would have been a good time to send troops in winter, because it was a time when farming was not busy, and it would not hurt the tax revenue of the coming year. However, at this time, the weather is very cold, and it will only get colder and colder, and if it cannot be attacked for a long time, the situation will turn unfavorable. However, if he abandoned Xuzhou and left, not to mention that on the way to the west, the rear army might be cut off by the Lu army at any time, and the enemy would be attacked on his back, even if it was just to rescue Cao Ang, Cao Cao was unwilling to retreat.

However, if the soldiers are in Xuzhou for a long time, the soldiers are under the city, continue to consume, and the food and grass supply is not good, it is inevitable that Lu Bu will take advantage of the situation and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

Cao Cao looked at the young man on the painting and sighed in a deep voice: "Zixuan, Zixuan (Cao Ang's character), you are rich and wise." If you were here, you would not be troubled by the Father......"

Thinking of Cao Ang's cute appearance when he was a child, he couldn't help but be sad and happy, frowning and distracted.

Xin said: "Ziyu is my first child, and I have poured more affection into him. Besides, he was pure filial piety, and he was willing to sacrifice his life to save me, and now that he is trapped here, how can I withdraw from the army? Yes, it must be that Liu Xuande's news is wrong...... Lu Fengxian is also an official in the same dynasty as me, even if he looks at my face, he will not touch my son. ”

As a father, no matter how strong he is, it is inevitable that there will be times of kindness, not to mention that the eldest son Cao Ang's status in Cao Cao's heart has long been unusual. brought back news from Xiahou Yuan, saying that Liu Bei said that Cao Ang had become Lu Bu's favorite, and Cao Cao was at peace day and night, and he couldn't swallow Xuzhou in one bite and chewed Lu Fengxian's bones.

However, the matter of conquest is by no means a day.

No matter how anxious Cao Cao was, no matter how anxious he was, he could only comfort himself like this, hoping that Liu Bei's news was wrong, and Cao Ang was just imprisoned by Lu Bu, and there was nothing else.

But despite his self-suggestion, Cao Cao was still troubled. sighed for a long time in front of the desk, and unconsciously fell asleep on the desk in front of the small statue of Cao Ang.

In a daze, it seems that he has seen his eldest son who has not been seen for a long time. Cao Cao knew it was a dream, but he still asked him for advice. Cao Ang stepped forward and whispered a few words to him, and Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard it. asked Cao Ang again if he was okay with Lu Bu, but Cao Ang didn't speak, only glanced at him lightly, then turned his back and drifted away...... Cao Cao woke up suddenly, in a cold sweat.

The moment he woke up from the dream, he had an illusion, as if Zi Yu was no longer alive......

As soon as that thought arose, the lightning flashed, and it passed away with a panicked mood, and Cao Cao immediately denied it—after all, Miaocai (Xiahou Yuan) saw Zixuan alive with his own eyes in Beixincheng.

Cao Cao's thoughts were disturbed, he poured a sip of strong tea, remembered what Cao Ang said in his dream, and when he was silent, his heart was empty, and he was like being empowered.

"Fate Cang Cao Peng, Liu Ziyang came to see you. ”

Not long after, Liu Ye came, and there was another person with him, a young man wearing a thick black velvet coat with a sick face.

Cao Cao caught a glimpse of the comer, and immediately got up from the front of the desk and stepped forward to hold the young man's hand. frowned and said, "Fengxiao, but the old disease has flare-up?" This face is so ugly.

Guo Jia coughed and smiled lightly: "It's okay." But the conversation changed, "Lord, Jia has thought of a strategy today, which may be able to break the enemy." ”

"What is the strategy?" Cao Cao took Guo Jia's hand and sat down side by side, and at the same time beckoned Liu Ye to sit down, "I dreamed of Zi Yu ...... just now" He suddenly thought that Guo Jia had never seen Cao Ang, so he turned to Liu Ye and said, "And then I remembered that my Zi Yu has always been friendly with Zi Yang (Liu Ye's character), so I wanted to ask Zi Yang, is there some kind of siege equipment that can break this ice city?"

Liu Ye is good at invention and is proficient in craftsmanship and equipment, Cao Cao got a reminder in his dream, so he asked him.

Liu Ye thought hard for a while, but shook his head and said, "Prime Minister, I can't think of such a device for a while. It's better to let Ye go back and think about it for a long time, and then reply. As he spoke, he got up and retired, and hurried down to study.

Cao Cao was about to agree, but he heard Guo Jia suddenly say: "Ziyang stays." Turning his body to Cao Cao, "Lord, Jia is here today to offer a plan to break the city." ”

As he spoke, he took out a blank piece of paper from his bosom, on which was drawn the style of a chariot, with a large wooden bed and four wheels at the bottom, a neutral single wood, and a stone at the end, which could be pulled by the soldiers.

When Liu Ye saw it, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Huh": "Eh, this car...... Fabulous!"

As he spoke, he quickly tapped his fingers on the paper a few times, "Here, and here." I can add a shaft to the wooden frame, and throw it to the left with a long wooden pole of great toughness in the middle, and tie a leather bag of rope at the end of the rod, and a hundred and ten ropes at the other end, and then attach a pivot to it, and fill it with stones, or ...... Ah, or fill it with fireballs!"

He jumped up like a fire, pointed at Guo Jia and said in surprise, "You, are you going to fill the fireball to burn the ice wall?"

Guo Jia laughed: "Brother Ziyang is really smart, he is good at this, and he can understand it at one point." But the weather was bitterly cold, and if it was just a fireball, it would have been extinguished before it could burn the ice formed on the city walls. ”

Cao Cao thought thoughtfully, as if he vaguely guessed Guo Jia's meaning, and looked at him with more and more admiration - from Xun Yu's recommendation of this person to his appointment of Guo Jia's birth, it was only three months, but Guo Jia had repeatedly offered amazing ideas and showed amazing talents.

Liu Ye scratched his head, blinked and thought for a long time, and wondered: "Then what are you going to bomb and throw? By the way, what are you calling this car?"

Guo Jia didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said: "If this car is built, the sergeants will pull it together, and the rocks will fly into the air, it will definitely be a roar, and you can call it a 'thunderbolt car'." ”

Liu Ye's eyes lit up, and he immediately praised: "Good name!

"Good. Guo Jia was as kind as a stream, and smiled gently, "As for this projectile thing, it will take some time." It is best to collect a lot of oil, tung oil, pine oil, etc., put them in thin clay jars, and put them in the thunderbolt machine. During the siege of the city, hundreds of carts were thrown at the same time, first throwing oil cans, which were high and low, filling the ice wall, and then throwing fireballs to make it burn. At that time, the smoke will be billowing and soaring into the sky, and the defenders at the head of the city will not be able to stay and defend, so it will be an opportunity for our army to take advantage of the situation to attack the city!"

The corners of Liu Ye's mouth twitched slightly.

Looking at the gentle and harmless beauty in front of him, he suddenly felt a little cold on his back. Uh, I always feel that his smile is as cunning and cunning as a fox wolf - what should I do, I feel that Cao Ying has this person, and in the near future, there will be many weapons of mass destruction...... Ahh

"Among the ministers, only Fengxiao is the youngest, but he has the talent of the heavens and the earth, and the king Zuo. It's really the well-being of the three armed forces!"

After Cao Cao listened to Guo Jia's strategy, it was like seeing the sun through the clouds, and he couldn't help laughing.

He immediately ordered Liu Ye to draw and reconstruct the chariot and supervise the construction of 100 thunderbolt chariots day and night; he also ordered Xu Huang and Yu Ban to lead the troops to search for fire oil in the nearby counties; he also summoned Xun Yu and others to discuss the matter of marching into the army, and then planned to divide the army into three routes, and follow the popular army -- Xiahou Yuan led the upper route army to take Lanling to attack the north gate of Tancheng; Xiahou Yuan led the middle route army to take Xiangben and attack the west gate of Tancheng; and the lower route army was led by Xu Chu and Li Dian to send troops from Siwu County to take the south gate of Tancheng.

As long as the three armies arrived, they could use thunderbolt chariots to throw fire oil and burn the ice city, and they could attack in three places at the same time, taking Lu Bu by surprise.

The strategists and generals saw that the prime minister had a clever plan, and their faces were smiling, and the oppressive atmosphere in the army was relaxed for a while. As soon as the battle situation turns, the initiative will return to the hands of the powerful Cao Jun again, and Guo Fengxiao, who offered this plan, was naturally impressed by everyone again.

Cao Cao was in high spirits, so he left a few of his henchmen to drink and have fun.

Guo Jia drank a lot of wine, but he didn't like to talk, everyone was noisy and happy, but he sat silently under Cao Cao's hand, mink Qiu was wide open, his demeanor was uninhibited, and he only drank quietly. The thin lips kept smiling, and the generals opposite were dazzled.

Xun Yu took a sip of wine and glanced at Guo Jia, who was sitting in front of the desk and drinking. Xin said: "Since he came back to Xuzhou, haven't you been in a hurry to rush back to your old residence every day......? Why is it that today, you are so indulgent in dramatic drinking, but you are no longer in a hurry to go back?"

Cheng Yu observed his words and looks, and he was also a human spirit, and he also discovered this. He sat next to Guo Jia and raised this question.

Guo Jia picked up the wine, just smiled, and replied, "No hurry." There is no one at home, so there is no need to rush back. ”

Everyone laughed: "It's better, less inhibited." Drink, drink. We will wait for a cup of filial piety. ”

Guo Jia did not refuse, but they all fell on their backs.

When the wine was dispersed and he returned drunk, Cao Cao ordered the two attendants to send Guo Jia back.

Guo Jia was already too drunk to walk, his eyes were red, he leaned crookedly on the attendants, and was forcibly helped out.

Who knew that when he walked past Cao Cao, he suddenly struggled. A pair of peach blossom eyes widened, stretched out his finger towards the void, pointed in the direction of Cao Cao, and shouted something vaguely in his mouth.

When everyone saw this, they all laughed helplessly.

This Guo Fengxiao has never been so drunk. This drunkenness even didn't even recognize the lord, and he shouted so rudely.

- Actually, no one knows, Guo Jia just accidentally caught a glimpse of that small ink pen portrait when he passed by the main case.

The young man in the picture is too much like a person he knows, too much like his cold brother in the snow house......

It turned out that it was such a fate.

It's a pity that it has always been deep, 166 reading network
