Chapter 113: Proud Cao Cao, the strategy of filial piety

Seeing that Lu Bu didn't pay attention to it, but instead commanded his generals to speed up the siege, which made Liu Bei look even more depressed.

After pondering for three breaths, he turned his head and shouted: "Soldiers, Lu Bu acts arbitrarily and often connives, if the city is broken, your wives and daughters will be humiliated." ”

After speaking, Liu Bei took out the double-strand sword, looked resolute, held the double-strand sword high, and shouted angrily: "In this battle, we have no way to retreat, only to fight to the death and defend our home and country." ”

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Listening to Liu Bei's shouting, the soldiers at the head of the city also ignited their will to die, and they shouted in unison.

…………

In the blink of an eye, three days later.

I saw Gao Shun and Zhang Liao standing in front of the battle.

At this time, Zhang Liao glanced at the neatly listed armor soldiers, immediately raised the big knife in his hand, and shouted: "The general has an order, after breaking the city, lift the military discipline for three days, and kill !! ”

As the words fell, countless armor soldiers howled, and immediately charged forward, and at the same time, all kinds of siege equipment were also flying up, and several trebuchets were whistling and throwing stones.

For a while, the sound of fighting in the city continued.

Gao Shun's face was expressionless, and he led the seven hundred camps under his command to wait quietly, each of the seven hundred people was one to ten, all wearing strong armor and holding sharp blades.

The trapping camp is strong and equipped with the best armor, but Cao Cao and his ilk, who also fight, complain bitterly.

Dusk attacked in the evening, and there were countless corpses under the city, and the blood stained Xiao Pei red, and similarly, Xiao Pei was also crumbling.

If Lu Bu continues to attack like this, it will be as little as three days, and as much as seven days, Xiao Pei will definitely not be protected, and when he thinks of this, Liu Bei is even more worried.

For this reason, he had no intention of sleeping at all, and kept pacifying his subordinates and strengthening the city.

......

At the same time, Xuchang will be in the house.

Listening to Liu Bei's personal guards in the hall, Cao Cao pretended to be solemn and couldn't help asking: "Do you know how much Lu Bu led the army, how long can your lord hold on?" ”

"Back to Cao Gong, then Lu Bu has 100,000 iron horsemen, and my lord can't hold on for a few days." The guards also had no score, so they thought that Cao Cao would send troops faster.

"100,000 Iron Horsemen?" Cao Cao was stunned, and couldn't help laughing at his own civil and military affairs in the hall.

In the next second, his gaze suddenly froze, and he looked at the guard and said loudly: "If Lu Bu has 100,000 iron horses, then my Cao Mengde's current position is his Lu Bu's." ”

"Eh, Cao Gong, it's a villain, Lu Bu only has 50,000 iron horsemen, and now he has surrounded Xiao Pei, my lord is in a hurry, and I hope that Cao Gong will send troops to help!" The guard said again.

"Okay, okay," Cao Cao waved his hand impatiently, "Cao Ren, I see that this general is tired and a little incoherent, so you can take him down to rest." ”

"No!" Cao Ren clenched his fists.

"Gong Cao, then you don't send troops to help my lord!" The guard was stunned and hurriedly said.

"Alas! Didn't you say that your father-in-law couldn't hold out for a few days? However, Xuchang is still ten days away from Xiaopei, and I Cao Cao can't help it! ”

Cao Cao said, giving Cao Ren a look.

As the guards were sent away, Cao Cao suddenly laughed proudly.

The buttocks are like teeth, and they can't sit still, which is a joy.

After a long time, he smiled and said: "Lu Bu, this guy is really loved and hated!" I didn't expect him to be so stupid and really attack Liu Bei. ”

"If he doesn't go, Liu Bei will guard Xiaopei, be horns with him, take care of each other, and then rely on Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to be brave, I'm afraid I will really not be able to capture Xuzhou."

"But now, Xuzhou is at my fingertips."

After saying it with a smile, Cao Cao looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, do you think that I will not help Liu Bei this time, if so, how should I rescue him?" ”

Xun Yu shook his head and chuckled: "Help, of course you want to help, but you need to slow down, slow help, it's best to wait until Liu Bei is defeated and retreats, and then the lord's reinforcements will arrive." ”

Cao Cao smiled knowingly, and looked at Guo Jia again, "Fengxiao, what do you think?" ”

"Hehe, the lord wants to ask me when I will capture Xuzhou, right?" Guo Jia chuckled, and then said: "Liu Bei used several counties to confront Lu Bu, but he really hit a stone with an egg. ”

"Jia asserted that it would be as little as ten days, and as much as a month, Liu Bei would definitely be defeated and flee, and then the reinforcements sent by the lord could collect the remnants of Liu Bei and stand by in place."

"After the military rations in various parts of Yuzhou are collected, it is not too late for the lord to lead the army again."

"After the autumn harvest?" Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows, and then his pupils shrank and said, "Why do you want to be after the autumn harvest?" Is Feng Xiao worried about Zhang Xiu in Jingzhou? ”

Guo Jia nodded, changed his previous bohemian and uninhibited character, and said solemnly: "Although the lord and Zhang Xiu are allies, the autumn harvest is a big deal. ”

"As far as I know, Zhang Xiu not only did not garrison Xiakou and Wuxian, but ordered Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and other tigers to lead tens of thousands of horses to defend Xinye, and Wen Ping even led the army to stay in Yecheng."

"These three people are Zhang Xiu's right-hand men, but they are all tun and Nanyang, but they have made Huo Jun and Wei Yan, these little-known young generals, guard Jingzhou, Jia is worried that he has bad intentions!"

"Are you saying that Zhang Xiu is not going to attack Yizhou or Yangzhou, but wants to march into the Central Plains?" Cao Cao's eyebrows couldn't help but condense, and he said in a deep voice.

"No, he won't march into the Central Plains, at least not now." Guo Jia almost asserted.

"Ruojia's expectation is good, Zhang Xiutun's soldiers and Xinye have two purposes, one is to confuse Sun Ce and Liu Zhang, so that the two will not easily form an alliance."

"Second, I think that he stationed troops with Xinye to deter the lord, he wants the lord to think about it before using his troops and slow down the time for the lord to attack Xuzhou."

After listening to Guo Jia, everyone was stunned.

It is no wonder that after Zhang Xiu captured Jingzhou, not only did he not stay behind to guard the heavy troops, it turned out to be to deter his own lord.

Xun Yu nodded his beard, and also hugged his fists and said: "Lord, what Feng Xiao said is very true, Yu also thinks that when the autumn harvest is over, Lu Bu will be recruited again, in case Zhang Xiu takes advantage of the emptiness of our army and plunders the army." ”

Cao Cao pondered for a while, and immediately said: "Xiahoudun, you will lead 10,000 troops, and you will go to Xiaopei tomorrow, remember, this battle cannot be attacked in a hurry, and you can't travel more than 30 miles on that day." ”

"No!" Xiahoudun clenched his fists and responded.

......

A few days later, Xiao Peicheng.

By this time, the walls had been dyed dark red, and the head of the city was even more dilapidated.

At the head of the city, Liu Bei had a calm face, carrying a double-strand sword, his cheeks were stained with blood, and he looked at his subordinates who had suffered heavy casualties, and his heart was like a knife.

It's over, it's all over.

He has worked hard to run Xiaopei for a year, and I'm afraid he won't be able to keep the next day.

Seeing Jian Yong walking briskly, Liu Bei suddenly had some hope, and said urgently: "Xianhe, but there is news from Yun Chang?" ”

Jian Yong's face was bitter, and he shook his head and said: "Lord, the arrows and fire oil in the city are all exhausted, and if you continue to defend it, the soldiers can only fight hand-to-hand with knives." ”

"Arrows gone?" Liu Bei was stunned.

"Hmmm! Lord, Xiao Pei is difficult to defend, I'm afraid it won't be until tomorrow, or stay at night, the lord will lead the three armies to retreat west! Jian Yong said in a deep voice.

"Retreat west?" Liu Bei was full of anger, he had been running since he started the army, he was annoyed, and immediately drew his sword and shouted angrily.

"Don't say to withdraw, and if there is any more withdrawing, I will be beheaded!"
