The vanguard of Cao Cao's army has crossed Yingshui, and the vanguard army is also coming.

Li Dian's army was also crossing the river, and Cao Cao's camp was also moving towards Huainan.

The whole situation seems to be having a serious impact on Huainan.

"The lord is menacing, and our army has no ability to block it at all, so it's better to retreat first!" Sun Qian, who was on the side, suggested to Yuan Yao.

The meaning of retreating Sun Qian is to exchange space for time.

Yuan Yaoke really wants to thank Sun Qian, he didn't want to stay and fight with Cao **, that would kill him. I was about to nod and say yes, but I saw Tian Feng and the faces of Tian Feng over there.

Looking at Tian Feng and Fuzhi's expressionless faces, Yuan Yao could only let go of the idea of running away in his heart, and instead became righteous and righteous, "How can you go!" This is Huainan, it is Lujiang, not Xia Cai, not Ruyin, not Yingshang, this is our homeland, all the soldiers are fighting with me, the military division Xu Shu is far away in Yanzhou, this Lujiang, this Huainan is their strong harbor, only if we drag the Cao thief and hold the homeland, can we make the soldiers who are fighting abroad feel stable, and can we leave a foothold for our children and grandchildren in this troubled world! ”

Yuan Yao said very righteously, but in fact, he was bitter in his heart.

Where can he retreat Yuan Yao retreat? Shouchun? Or Lujiang County?

The current Yuan Yao is not much better than Cao Cao, his north is Lao Cao, the south is Xiao Biyan, and the west is Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao.

Xiao Biyan looks low and pleasing to the eye now, but as long as Lao Cao drives straight into Huainan, then Xiao Biyan will inevitably immediately raise troops to attack him Huainan.

After all, he took advantage of his illness to kill him, as for the old life of the little blue-eyed old lady, he naturally had a way to cover up the past, and it was a big deal to mourn in advance, so he said that the old lady died in the hands of Yuan Yao.

Zhang Xiu in the west, if other people Yuan Yao is still at ease, after all, Lao Cao played his aunt, and he killed Lao Cao's son, ordinary people must be the enemy of life and death.

But this Zhang Xiu is not from the first class, he is from the second class.

Even so, he can still be a turtle with a shrunken head under Cao Cao.

If Cao Cao entered Huainan and didn't scare Zhang Xiu, he would also come to help Lao Cao and use his own head to give credit, and that fun would be great.

As for Liu Biao, it's not a good thing, he and Yuan Yao still hooked up with friends before, and put Sun Ce together, and then he pulled Liu Bei down to Jingzhou, and the two imperial uncles didn't know what they were thinking.

There are jackals on all sides, how can he show his belly?

So no matter what, he Yuan Yao has to bite the bullet and knock down with Cao **. As long as Lujiang is not lost, then the wealth wolves around here will not dare to be excessive.

Now Yuan Yao is counting on Xu Shu's soldiers and horses and Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses over there.

"The order goes down, and the city heads everywhere prepare the equipment to defend the city, and begin to burn the golden soup, roll the stones and fall the wood, and all the equipment will be taken from the treasury by themselves!" Yuan Yao wanted to treat Lujiang as a turtle shell and block Lao Cao's soldiers.

"Yes!"

"And Gongyou, you keep an eye on the military aircraft, if there is a flying pigeon from the military advisor Xu Shu and General Zhang Liao, you will immediately give it to me!" Yuan Yao issued another order.

"Mr. Tian Feng, did you send someone over there Huang Yi?"

"Don't worry, the lord has already arranged it, as long as Huang Yi and General Dong Xi's ships follow the route, they will definitely receive the news!" Tian Feng explained to Yuan Yao.

Above the sea, there is a vast expanse, even carrier pigeons are difficult to do, so they can only send people to go, and leave people and horses on the various undeveloped ferries and beaches early, as long as Dong Zheng they follow the places indicated by the charts, then they will inevitably get the news.

"That's good!" Yuan Yao nodded, he meant to let Huang Yi and Dong Xi and the others come back later, firstly, to prevent Jiangdong Xiaobi from being bad, and secondly, for the safety of that cheap brother-in-law Huang Yi.

If Lu Jiang really can't hold on, there will be someone to help him take care of the family.

"Report!" When Yuan Yao gave various orders, information came from there.

"Lord Qi, Cao Jun appeared within fifty miles of the Lujiang River!"

"Fifty miles!" The scouts sent out by Yuan Yao were watching Lao Cao's movements every move, and if he marched fifty miles in a hurry, it would be a day's work.

"Is it possible to catch Cao Jun off guard?" Yuan Yao subconsciously thought that he didn't like to fight tough battles now, and what he preferred was opportunistic.

"Lord, then Cao Cao has been prepared early, this plan will not work." Tian Feng and Fu Zhu shook their heads at Yuan Yao and said.

You Yuan Yao have all cheated and captured Xiahou Chun alive, if this old Cao is fooled again, he will really be kicked in the brain by a donkey.

"Then you can only defend the city?" Seeing that the struggle was hopeless, Yuan Yao only had to accept the facts, since he couldn't resist, it was better to enjoy it.

The first to arrive was Li Dian's soldiers and horses, as soon as Li Dian's army reached the foot of the Lujiang River, they set up camp, and the rest of the soldiers and horses ran around like headless flies.

"Humph! You're good at finding the woods! Yuan Yao looked at the Cao army running east and west below the city head.

These Cao Jun are all looking for woods.

Tian Feng glanced deeply at Yuan Yao, his lord is also a wonder, some time ago, he cut down all the woods within a radius of a hundred miles for him, if this thing is put in modern times, it is an environmental destroyer, but he has no ** to give birth to a son. Tian Feng could only mourn in silence for Li Dian, how long would it take to find a place where he could cut down the ladder.

Li Dian had no choice but to send someone back to tell Lao Cao.

"What, this Yuan Yao'er has cut down all the trees within a radius of a hundred miles?" Cao Cao is also dumbfounded, this Yuan Yao child is also ruthless enough, how can he make a ladder without trees.

"Within a radius of 100 miles, General Li Dian has sent people to search, and there is basically no cloud ladder to make!" Yuan Yao's hands were black enough, except for the small saplings, the others were cut down for him, and those who could be brought into the city were brought in, and those who couldn't be brought were burned directly on the spot.

"This Yuan Zhongde! It's really a lack of morality! Lao Cao scolded and said, although Cao Cao was angry, but he was also sure that only Yuan Yao Xiaoer would be so lacking in morality.

Lack of virtue belongs to lack of virtue, Cao Cao also thought in his heart, don't say that Yuan Yao'er's strategy is really good.

It will take a while to find the woods.

"Lord, Yuan Yao'er only cut down all the trees within a hundred miles of the Lujiang River, but he never cut down all the trees near Yingshui!" Guo Jia on the side gave Cao Cao an idea. If you can't find it near the Lujiang River, then you can find it in Yingshui.

"Yingshui to the Lujiang River is also nearly 100 miles, how to transport?" Cao Cao frowned and asked, there are not many carriages in his army, and even if there are, they will have to transport grain and grass.

"There is no need for deliberate transportation, only one person needs to bring a section!" Guo Jia's meaning is to break into pieces, and the ladders are also tied up with thick hemp rope one by one.

"That's all there is to it!" Cao Cao immediately ordered all departments to take a team of 1,000 people as a unit, and each team of 1,000 people must bring five logs, and there are countless fine logs.

In this way, dozens of teams of thousands of people quickly gathered more than 100 ladders.

"This can too?!" Yuan Yao's eyes widened as he looked at the Cao Cao army troops assembled below, he had been thinking hard for many days before he came up with such a disgusting old Cao's tactic, but he didn't expect to be broken by Lao Cao so quickly.

In fact, Yuan Yao didn't know that his strategy really disgusted Lao Cao.

Not only was Lao Cao disgusted, but his troops also hated Yuan Yao very much one by one.

Originally, marching and fighting a war was not a good errand, but now it is not a modern war, there are tanks, there are personnel carriers, and even if there are no vehicles, there is a big road to walk.

In this ancient period, this traffic basically relied on walking, and the biggest official road on this road was just to use broken stones to pave the way to the top, and the surrounding straw was removed from him.

If this official road is not cleaned for a year and a half, it will directly become a pile of grass.

That's why there is a marching rule of opening roads in the mountains and building bridges in the water.

It's not easy to run all the way, and you have to bring tree sticks, it's not cool to put it on anyone, after so many years of fighting, I really haven't seen someone as immoral as Yuan Yao.

So they were all cursing Yuan Yao, thinking that if they caught that Yuan Yao'er, they would inevitably skin him alive, so that Cao Jun's morale would improve a lot.

Because he had to carry tree sticks, even if Cao Cao's army reached the city of Lujiang, he could not attack immediately and needed to rest.

"Can't let Yuan Yao'er be happy!" Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said.

You can't start fighting during the day, but Cao Cao can bluff people.

"Newspaper, newspaper, newspaper! The lord Cao's army is attacking the city! Yuan Yao was just about to take a break in the Chen Building, when there was a situation from Lao Cao's army about to attack the city.

"Give the order to go down, let the brothers hurt the city wall and defend the city wall to the death!" Yuan Yao said and followed the large army to the head of the city, watching Lao Cao's soldiers and horses surging like a tide.

"Seven hundred steps, six hundred steps, five hundred steps, archers ready!" Yuan Yao shouted, countless archers on the head of Lujiang City filled their war bows, as long as Cao Cao's army was within three hundred steps, it would inevitably be a rain of arrows.

But Cao Cao just didn't fall for it, when he reached three hundred and fifty steps, the Cao army camp over there actually withdrew his troops.

"Cao Jun is cheating! All troops on alert! "Lao Cao and Yuan Yao are a virtue, that is, to cross oneself and others, he Yuan Yao is scheming, so he thinks that the opponent is also like this, with the heart of a villain to live the belly of a gentleman.

Everyone above the city was nervous, waiting for Lao Cao's attack, but they still didn't get the news for a long time.

"Lord, look at the smoke over there!" Lao Cao actually asked people to make a fire in the camp tent to make food.

"Then the Cao army will definitely not attack! Let's rest for a while! Call me for something! Saying that, Yuan Yao left, and just sat down in the city tower, before he had time to take a sip of hot tea, someone over there came to report, that is, the Cao army was attacking the city.
