At sunset, a pale mist shrouded the murmuring water, but it was not caused by water vapor, but by thousands of campfires. In the second year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu, who was proclaimed emperor in Shouchun, united with Han Xian and Yang Feng, the two major Guanzhong princes, to target Xu Du and enter Runan County under Cao Cao's rule. It is true that Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor is an unfaithful and unrighteous beast in the eyes of the world's corporals. But in the eyes of many people, one more emperor in the world is one more opportunity. No, as Yuan Shu swept into Yuzhou, the small people who heard the news along the way flocked to Yuzhou.

In the face of the continuous flow of defectors, Yuan Shu did not ask whether they were good or bad, and accepted them as the only high-ranking official. Because in his opinion, the more people who came to him, the more it showed that he, the emperor, was ordered by heaven. So much so that when Yuan Shu arrived in Runan County to govern Runan City, his soldiers and horses had skyrocketed to more than 100,000 people. Although it is far from Yuan Shu's so-called "200,000" army, it is far beyond Cao Cao's soldiers and horses.

But outside the city of Runan today, patches of woods have been cut down, replaced by the Yuan Shu military camp tent that appeared overnight like mushrooms, as well as huge siege equipment such as ladders, high oars, temporary cars, and rushing cars. From time to time, there are battalion men dressed in fancy clothes shuttling past these "giant beasts", laughing and laughing with the soldiers along the way. In fact, even Yuan Shu himself was sitting in the big tent at this time, while listening to the battle reports from all sides to Yang Hong, the long history.

"On the first day of the fifth month, the Donglai Navy set sail from Longkou to the north to Youzhou."

"Cai Anzhen is still Yuan Benchu's dog at the end?" Yuan Shu, who was on the throne, heard Yang Hong say this, held the wine bottle, and laughed teasingly. Speaking of which, the wine in his wine bottle is still shochu transported from Donglai, but Yuan Shu obviously does not have a good impression of anyone who is involved with his brother.

However, although Yuan Shu's dislike for Yuan Shao was well known, Yang Hong, as the mastermind, still spoke to him, "Your Majesty, Liu Xie sent Kong Rong to Yecheng to appoint Ben Chu Gong as the general. But Yecheng has not sent troops to echo Cao Cao so far, and now he is forcing Cai Anzhen to transfer troops to Youzhou. It can be seen that the original public is still caring. If His Majesty can echo with the first prince of the south, the north and the south, the world will be able to be surnamed Yuan in the near future. ”

"How can the son of a slave be compared to me? What's more, Yuan Benchu was thinking, will I be? Hmph, he just wants me to fight to the death with Cao Cao, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman. A house slave is a house slave, and he only knows how to divide one place, and he has no ambitions. grovelled to Liu Xie's yellow-mouthed child, which really disgraced Yuan's face. I don't know if it's because of the alcohol or because of the excitement, Yuan Shu's face, which was already a little loose because of the wine, was already flushed red at the moment. But I saw him raise his wine glass and declare loudly, "I am the only one who is the descendant of the Yuan family, and after Shun is the true dragon son of the Han Dynasty."

In the face of Yuan Shu's passionate words, where did Yang Hong dare to continue to mention to him about cooperation with Yuan Shao. But seeing him, he hurriedly shouted, "Long live Your Majesty"

Yuan Shu was obviously very satisfied with Yang Hong's expression, and after seeing him take a sip of the contents of the cup triumphantly, he nodded and motioned for the latter to continue. So Yang Hong took the opportunity to find a piece of good news from his hand and reported to him, "April."

Sure enough, Yuan Shu listened to this report, and immediately laughed proudly to the two lovely people beside him, "What? I said it, I am the Lord of the True Dragon."

The two concubines are both clever people, and naturally they are both coquettish, "Long live Your Majesty"

"Haha, good."

Yuan Shu was even more happy when he heard this, and he waved his hand and generously rewarded him, "Reward Qin Beauty, Chen Beauty, two brocades, and a string of sea pearls." ”

"Thank you."

Reflecting the joyful thanksgiving of the two concubines, Yang Hong's heart chuckled unconsciously. Although Yuan Shu has looted a lot in Yangzhou over the years, he can be claimed to be rich and rival the country. However, at present, Yuan Shu is the world, and he needs money to recruit soldiers to fight wars and buy people. According to Yuan Shu's current squandering speed, even if he has a mountain of gold and silver, there will always be a day when he will lose money. However, Yang Hong also knew that even if Yuan Shu was mentioned, Yuan Shu might not be able to listen to it. What's more, there are so many people outside the tent and Yuan Shu, it's not because he is generous. So taking advantage of Yuan Shu's unsatisfactory mood, Yang Hong then took out another battle report and read, "On April 20, Sun Ce marched to Qiantang. ”

Although Yang Hong did not explain that Sun Ce went to Qiantang to do it, Yuan Shu stood up after hearing the news, "Sun Bofu dares to rebel against me, this little slippery head"

"Little Slippery Head"

Across the wide moat, Cao Cao at the head of Runan City was also evaluating Sun Ce with the same comments. I saw him holding the battle report in one hand and holding the city wall with the other hand and sneering, "Hmph, at the beginning, Sun Ce thought that the position of cavalry lieutenant was too low, and said that he wanted the name of a general, and forced Wang Yilang, who sent an envoy to Huiji, to appoint him as a general of the Ming and Han dynasties in the name of the Son of Heaven." But as a result, this little slippery head is only now in Qiantang."

Hearing that Cao Cao was full of complaints about Sun Ce, Xun Yu on the side couldn't help but step forward and persuade, "The lord is angry." Although Sun Ce's march was slow, he finally sent troops. Presumably, Yuan Shu, who has received the news now, is worried about the instability in the rear. This is also a big blow to the morale of the thief army. ”

"Gongda didn't say that. Sun Bofu has already left. There's a little slippery head who hasn't sent troops yet. Cao Cao listened to what Xun Yu said, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

The generals and commanders of Cao Jun who were present all knew that the second "little slippery head" mentioned by Cao Cao was Cai Ji, who was far away in Qingzhou. In addition, the battle report that just came out showed that Cai Ji sent a fleet north to Youzhou at the order of Yuan Shao, which made everyone even more suspicious of her position. No, Xiahou Yuan, who has always had a hard temper, was the first to say to Cao Cao, "Lord, do you want to send someone to urge Cai Anzhen." Let that girl stop talking and not practicing"

"yes. Not only must you have a good reputation, but also to please Yuan Benchu, where is there such a cheap thing in this world?"

However, this time Xun You helped Cai Ji speak again, "The two Xiahou generals should not be anxious. According to what can be seen below, Cai Anzhen will also send troops soon. ”

"Why did Gongda say that?" Cao Cao frowned and asked.

Faced with Cao Cao's question, Xun Yu carefully analyzed, "Lord Mingjian, although Cai Anzhen sent a naval army to the north this time, the leader of the troops was not Zhang Jaw, Tai Shici and other generals, but Zhang Qing, the general of the Cai family. And Cai Anzhen herself is also staying in Donglai at the moment. It can be seen that the art of war going to Youzhou is not the main force of Donglai, and Cai Anzhen wants to attack Xuzhou. However, whether it is Cai Anzhen or Sun Bofu, they are just strange soldiers. As the so-called Qi Zheng complements each other, defeating Yuan Shu's army in the front is the right way to win. ”

Cao Cao deeply agreed with Xun You's analysis. After all, it is better to rely on others than on yourself, Cai Ji, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei don't really want to help. These princes all play their own little ninety-nines, and they will not hesitate to betray on the battlefield for their own interests. Therefore, as Xun You said, defeating Yuan Shu from the front is the right way to highlight his Cao Mengde's merits. Thinking of this, Cao Cao immediately laughed loudly and said, "Gongda said it well, so let us use the blood of Yuan Shujun under the city to show the world the martial arts of Cao's army."

"Huh" The Cao generals led by Xiahou led the order in unison. It was as if the army of more than 100,000 people surrounding the city at the moment was just a herd of sheep.

The morale of the generals was very satisfying to Cao Cao. But he also knew very well that if he wanted to defeat Yuan Shu, high morale alone was not enough. The right strategy and tactics are the key to victory. Because of this, Cao Cao cleared most of Yuzhou's fortified walls from the very beginning, and introduced Yuan Shu's army all the way to the city of Runan. It is said that since ancient times, Yuzhou is in Kyushu, and Runan lives in Yuzhou, so it has always been called "Zhongtian". And Runan City is not only the city wall is thick, but also the Ru water from the bottom, bending and flowing, the city is surrounded on three sides, the shape is like a hanging gourd. In the face of such systematic fortifications, Han Xian and Yang Feng's Guanzhong Iron Cavalry naturally couldn't do it. Although Yuan Shu had many soldiers and horses, most of the people who followed him were rabble, and once they fell into a difficult siege battle, the morale of these people would soon fall to the bottom. At that time, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others will lead the cavalry to attack Yuan Shu's army from the periphery, and Yuan Shu will be defeated in one fell swoop.

Of course, Cao Cao's move was also a great risk. Because once Runan City is broken, Xu Du will be exposed in front of Yuan Shu like an unobstructed girl. Therefore, for Cao Cao and his generals, the Battle of Runan was a backwater battle that could only be won and not defeated, and with such determination, Cao Cao set his sights on the opposite Yuan Shu's army, and finally fixed on those huge siege equipment. It is undeniable that even if Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses are a rabble, those siege equipment are not vegetarian.

Seeing this situation, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh loudly, "I never thought that Yuan Shu would be able to make such a variety of siege equipment."

"Hui Zhugong, the person who can make so many siege equipment should be Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang, who are from Huainan." Xun You thought for a while and introduced to Cao Cao.

"Liu Ziyang? Haven't you heard of this person? Cao Cao asked curiously.

"Back to the lord, Liu Ziyang is very young, but he is in his early twenties, and it is not surprising that the lord has never heard of his name. However, although this person is young, he is talented and quite courageous. Xu Shao, a celebrity, once commented that Ye has the talent of the world. What's even more rare is that Liu Ziyang also has a lot of research on mechanical techniques. It is said that it can produce many instruments according to the ancient book system, and today it is not true. Xun You further explained to Cao Cao.

"It's a pity that such a beautiful woman should devote herself to thieves. It's a pity" Cao Cao listened to Xun You's words, and sighed to himself with emotion. However, he quickly retracted his envy, turned his expression, and turned back to Xiahou Yuan and the others and asked, "These siege weapons are bound to inflict heavy damage on Runan City tomorrow." I don't know what your countermeasures are? ”

"Why is it difficult to stay until midnight, Yuan brought a ticket of men and horses to cover up and kill, and set fire to this pile of birds" Xiahou Yuan clenched his fists and asked for his life without thinking.

Cao Cao listened to what Xiahou Yuan said, and then looked at the chaotic Yuan Shu camp opposite, and couldn't help but show a playful smile on his face.

And when Cao Cao was discussing with Xiahou Yuan and others at the head of the city how to attack at night, the Cao army in the city had already begun to boil the pot and cook rice. It is true that there is an abundance of food and grass in Runan City, but in order to prepare for a protracted war, Cao's army has much simpler food than Yuan Shu's army outside the city. However, Rao is like this, and the aroma of the broth and bread still makes the soldiers of Cao Jun smile. After all, in this day and age, it is rare to be able to eat a full meal anywhere.

Cao Ang sat around the campfire like an ordinary soldier, took the pancakes and ate them with broth. Some of the veterans were accustomed to this, while others who had just been recruited looked at him curiously. No, there was a guy who was bold and short-sighted, so he couldn't help but ask Cao Ang directly, "Why can't Ang eat in the tent?" ”

Facing the curious eyes of the soldiers around him, Cao Ang shook the half-bitten pancake and said casually, "It's cool here." Anyway, everyone eats the same, if I eat in the tent, wouldn't outsiders be my small stove? Don't worry, there was a small stove that day, I must hide in the tent to eat. ”

As soon as Cao Ang's words came out, he immediately made the surrounding soldiers laugh. But one soldier did not laugh with everyone, and even the pancake in his hand was restored. Seeing this, Cao Ang got up and sat down beside the soldier and asked, "Unappetizing?" ”

When the soldier saw Cao Ang suddenly sitting beside him, he knelt down and kowtowed in fright, "Ang"

"Get up. I'm just asking. Thou shalt not be afraid. Cao Ang bowed his head to the soldier kindly, "Your name?" ”

"Little Zhou Xing." The soldier trembled in response to Cao Ang's question, then sat back down and mechanically took a bite of the pancake.

Cao Ang saw that the other party looked like he was chewing wax, so he asked, "The first time you go to the battlefield?" ”

The soldier named Zhou Xing nodded.

Cao Ang asked again, "Scared?" ”

Zhou Xing was asked by Cao Ang, first subconsciously nodded, and when he saw that the faces of his comrades-in-arms on the side changed, he hurriedly shook his head and responded, "The little ones are not afraid." The little ones are just worried about staying in the township and not passing through the door. ”

As soon as Zhou Xing's words fell, there was a burst of laughter around him. Cao Cao governed the army very strictly, and only let the camp enter the camp on the designated day, and now that the war is imminent, he is not allowed to get close to women. Therefore, the soldiers present naturally couldn't help but take Zhou Xing to open the shabu. However, Cao Ang didn't laugh with everyone, but saw him and said with emotion, "My sweetheart." What about Ang? ”

"Ang's sweetheart? Married? "This time, Zhou Xing was interested.

"Nope." Cao Ang shook his head self-deprecatingly, and then looked up at him, "She said, the world is not peaceful, how can it be home." ”

Zhou Xing thought to himself, that girl must be rejecting Ang. And today, there is such chaos, how long will it take to "calm the world". But he didn't dare say it. First, this is suspected of affecting morale, and secondly, Zhou Xing doesn't want to hit Ang, who is kind in front of him.

But he didn't want to, Cao Ang himself bluntly said to himself, "Very harsh conditions." ”

"Ang ......"

"It's okay" Cao Ang smiled loudly, raised his head and swore in the northeast direction, "I, Cao Ang, will level the world"

Regarding the male protagonist of this book, Liu Ding feels that since it is a troubled time, it should have a feeling of troubled times. So each character will make a corresponding choice based on their identity. Liu Ding will not force a certain feeling, so let the plot of the troubled times be deduced.
