The defenders of Beihai City knew that if they did not fight back, they would definitely be breached by the enemy, and they would be slaughtered by others.

Braving the rain of arrows, Cao Hong stepped forward and pushed out the ladder that had been erected on the city wall near him.

The soldiers of the Cao army followed their lord and pushed out the ladders and ladders on the city wall.

The defenders began to fight back, and they poured hot gold juice at the enemy. The wood rolled down, killing many of Guan Yu's soldiers.

The defending archers began to wield their might, constantly firing feathered arrows at the enemy.

The tenacity of the defenders held off the first wave of siege troops, bringing Guan Yu's troops to a standstill.

Guan Yu's first wave of attacks didn't work.

After Guo Tu looked at the situation, he said suggestively: "It seems that the number of troops in Beihai City is really not much. General Guan, in my opinion, our army can attack all of them now and capture Beihai as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the reinforcements from Xuzhou arrive, we will be in danger. ”

"Send multiple teams of scouts to find out if there are enemy troops coming to the rescue in Xuzhou!" Guan Yu immediately ordered.

"The last general has already sent multiple teams of scouts, and the scouts have reported that no enemy troops have come to the rescue." Where does Guan Yu need to order this matter of sending scouts, Hou Cheng has already arranged it.

"Be careful, expand your search!" Guan Yu did not believe that Xuzhou did not send reinforcements.

Guo Tu Hou Cheng also thinks so. Cao Cao will definitely give a rescue order, and Chen Deng, the assassin of Xuzhou, is not a simple person, and now there are no reinforcements, so there will definitely be a conspiracy.

So is the truth as Guan Yu and the others think?

Not really.

Xuzhou Thorn Shi Chen Deng is now lying on the bed, his face is sallow, and he looks like a dying person. The elderly Chen Qi was sitting on the side with a desperate expression.

Chen Deng is dying.

Chen Deng, who has no bad habits, has a quirk, that is, he likes to eat raw meat, and raw fish meat is his favorite. In ancient times, the environment was not too polluted, the fish meat was relatively delicious, and the habit of eating raw fish meat in coastal areas has been around since ancient times. There are a lot of parasites in raw meat, and there is no problem with having this knowledge in ancient times, and eating a little once in a while. But Chen Deng eats every day, every meal, and there are more and more parasites in his body.

Once upon a time, Chen Deng fell ill because of this, but fortunately, he met a miracle doctor who treated him and spit out a large number of insects. The miracle doctor told Chen Deng not to eat raw meat, and to take medicine regularly to expel the eggs in his body. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the gods to be saved if they get sick again.

But Chen Deng felt that there was nothing wrong with him, and he couldn't control his mouth, so he threw the doctor's instructions behind him.

As time passed, there were more and more parasites in Chen Deng's body, and his body had collapsed and began to vomit parasites. From the military to bedridden, it was only one day.

Chen Deng then remembered the instructions of the miracle doctor back then, and secretly regretted that he did not listen to good words. As soon as Chen Qi saw Chen Deng like this, he knew that his condition was the same as back then. Chen Qi realized the seriousness of the problem and went crazy to find a famous doctor, but no doctor could treat him. All the doctors tactfully asked Chen Qi to prepare for the aftermath.

Chen Qi suddenly aged ten years old, as if he could fall down at any time. He is such a precious son, he actually wants a white-haired person to send a black-haired person. Seeing that Chen Deng, who was high-spirited before, was now lying on the bed waiting for death, Chen Jue couldn't help but burst into tears, he really hoped that it was himself who was lying on the bed waiting for death.

"Oh my God, what's going on!" Chen Jue looked up to the sky and cried bitterly.

When the Xuzhou family heard that Chen Deng was terminally ill, they were all overjoyed. Chen Deng's talent is unparalleled in the entire Xuzhou, and he won the trust of Cao Cao and was appointed as the assassin of Xuzhou. The Chen family relied on Chen Deng to consolidate their position as the first family in Xuzhou. originally thought that there was Chen Deng's existence, and the other families no longer had any hope in Xuzhou. I didn't expect God to open his eyes and take Chen Deng back, so there was hope for other families. They began to stretch out their long-hidden greedy hand, ready to seek profit.

Among them, the most powerful and fierce one to snatch power is Cao Bao, the head of the Cao family, who has been looking at the position of Xuzhou Thorn for a long time. Now that Chen Deng is ill, Chen Qi is sad and can't be a director, how could Cao Bao let go of such a good opportunity! The power of the entire Xuzhou was slowly usurped by Cao Bao. The other families saw that Cao Bao looked like he was bound to win, and they began to converge one by one, they could not match Cao Bao's arrogance.

However, as soon as Cao Cao's order to rescue Beihai arrived, Cao Bao stopped his actions, and even handed over all the real power he had obtained before.

Cao Bao is clear about how many catties and taels he has. Now Guan Yu's army has entered the North Sea, Cao Cao ordered Xuzhou to send troops to rescue, if he seizes control of Xuzhou at this time, then he will lead his troops to Guan Yu.

For Guan Yu's bravery, Cao Bao is very clear. Fighting with Guan Yu, Cao Bao knew that he would definitely lose. At the same time, Cao Bao embarrassed the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang in many ways when Liu Bei was the assassin, and Cao Bao, who had a ghost in his heart, knew that if he was seen by Guan Yu on the battlefield, then there was only one way to die. Even if he escapes by chance, he can only carry the black cauldron of defeat.

So Cao Bao began to thank the guests behind closed doors, and asked Chen Deng, a dying man, to carry the black cauldron, and wait for the matter to come out to pick peaches when there is a result.

Chen Jue, who heard the news, sneered, wanting benefits but not daring to take responsibility, where in this world is there such benefits.

Chen Jue knew that he was old, Chen Deng was about to pass away, and the decline of the Chen family was a foregone conclusion.

In line with the idea that my Chen family is finished, you don't have to think about it. Chen Qi used his identity and power as a driver in Xuzhou to summon the heads of various families and the civil and military forces of Xuzhou.

The heads of the family, including Cao Bao, and the civil and military forces of Xuzhou all gathered in the Xuzhou Thorn Mansion.

Chen Jue looked at everyone coldly, and finally took out Cao Cao's order and said, "Everyone, Guan Yu led 50,000 thieves to invade Beihai, and the Beihai garrison general couldn't resist it. The prime minister ordered me to send reinforcements to Xuzhou. The military order cannot be violated, who is willing to lead the troops to rescue the North Sea? ”

Everyone was silent, and those who were willing to lead the troops into battle were fools. They simply didn't speak, and it was up to you Chen Qi to see what you could do.

Chen Jue had long known that these people were like this, his face was flat, and he said, "Don't you know that you are contributing to the country?" You need to know that if the prime minister gets angry, the consequences will be serious! ”

But the gang remained silent.

Since these people don't speak, then Chen Qi can only name Cao Bao, who has recently seized power, and said: "General Cao, you are the head of the military generals in Xuzhou." This matter of leading troops to rescue Beihai will be left to you. ”

Cao Bao said dissatisfiedly: "Don't take advantage of Chen's words. In the prime minister's military order, Lord Assassin Shi was required to lead the troops to the battle. How dare the last general go beyond his bounds? ”

Can't? Then why did you fight so enthusiastically?

Chen Qi naturally wouldn't let Cao Bao be so perfunctory, and said: "That's what the prime minister's military order says, but you all know it. My son is terminally ill and unable to lead the army and handle government affairs. Xuzhou cannot be left without an owner for a day. Therefore, the old man felt that General Cao was a hero and hero, and he could take the post of Xuzhou Assassin. As long as the general returns victoriously, the old man will naturally go to the court to correct General Cao! ”

Master Chen praised it. Where is the last general, what kind of heroes, everyone present is a hero, Lord Chen can let others temporarily take the post of Xuzhou assassin. Even Lord Chen. It's not bad for you to sit in this position. "Cao Bao is not a straw bag, so naturally he will not be fooled by Chen Jue.

"The old man is old, I'm afraid time is running out. Since you are all prevaricating. Then the old man went to the court and handed over the matter to the prime minister to decide. General Cao rest assured that the old man will definitely report all of General Cao's attitudes one by one. Chen Qi stared at Cao Bao with old eyes.

"Chen Jue! What do you mean! Cao Bao was angry, Chen Qi was stabbing in the back. If Cao Cao knew that he would not lead the troops, then there would be no benefit in the future. At least the position of Xuzhou Thorn is hopeless.

"The old man has always said something about things, and there is nothing else to do. It's just that the old man thinks that some people's hands should not be stretched too long. Chen Qi said meaningfully.

The hearts of everyone present jumped, they all forgot that Chen Jue was not dead, this guy was even more awesome than his son. Everyone thought in their hearts that they should be honest after they went back, so as not to be caught by Chen Qi and make an example of the chicken.

Cao Bao brushed his sleeves away, he knew that Chen Qi would definitely say bad things about him in front of Cao Cao, and he didn't want to stay here for a moment now.

The other heads of the family and the civil and military all found excuses to leave one after another.

However, there was no follow-up to the dispatch of troops to rescue Beihai, and Chen Qi put all this responsibility on Cao Bao's head.

Dead friends don't die poor!

This is also the reason why Cao Cao ordered Chen Deng to rescue Beihai, but Xuzhou did not send troops.

Xuzhou did not send troops, so Cao Hong in Beihai cried. Cao Hong sent a large number of emissaries for help, but they were all gone.

Guan Yu's attacks were wave after wave, and the number of defenders in Beihai City was constantly decreasing, and they were all crumbling.

The siege battle was so tragic that the temporarily recruited strong men did not dare to raise their heads at all, hiding by the city walls and trembling.

Cao Hong didn't know how many times he had defeated the enemy army who had climbed the city wall.

"General, why haven't the reinforcements come yet! The brethren are running out of action! The adjutant general said anxiously.

Let the brother hold on a little longer. Ben has already sent a messenger for help. The soldiers and horses of Xuzhou soon arrived. Cao Hong said comfortingly.

The adjutant general estimated that it was impossible for the reinforcements to arrive, but he didn't dare to say this, and it would be a big crime to kill the head as soon as he said it to shake the hearts of the army.

Guan Yu looked at the crumbling Beihai City, flashed the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and shouted: "The whole army is pressed and the Beihai is attacked!" ”

Guan Yu personally joined the siege battle, and the morale of the soldiers was raised.

"Drums, cheers!" Guo Tu is a scribe, and he is not good at fighting on the battlefield, but he can do something else.

Guan Yu's entire army launched an attack, preparing to capture the entire Beihai.

Guan Yu was like a god, blocking all the feather arrows and quickly came to the city wall. Guan Yu jumped up from his horse, stepped on the ladder, and ran quickly towards the city wall as if he were on flat ground.

"That's Guan Yu! Hurry up and release the arrows! Push the ladder away! Cao Hong discovered Guan Yu's whereabouts. Why was Cao Hong able to find Guan Yu in the crowd? In addition to Guan Yu's big red face, there is also that green hat. That green hat is like a firefly in the darkness in the crowd, so distinct, so outstanding.

Cao Jun heard that Guan Yu was powerful, where was he willing to let Guan Yu climb the city wall, the archers kept firing feather arrows at Guan Yu, and the infantry worked together to push the ladder out.

I saw Guan Yu shouting, bending his legs, pressing down the ladder, and ejecting on the ladder with elastic force, and a leap came to the city wall.

Cao Jun is stupid, is this still a human, he is simply a god general.

Guan Yu took advantage of Cao Jun's stunned opportunity, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife swept through thousands of troops, and Cao Jun on the city wall fell to the ground in response.

With Guan Yu's bravery, the soldiers of the Liu army in the cloud ladder continued to climb the city wall, and quickly slashed the Cao army near the other cloud ladders, occupying a large position. Immediately afterwards, Hou Cheng led his subordinates to climb the city wall.

At this moment, the walls of Cao's army had been lost.

"General, retreat. Beihai can't hold it! The deputy general came to Cao Hong covered in blood and said.

Cao Hong looked at the situation on the city wall and knew that it was irreparable, and even if he fought to the death, he would not be able to recapture Beihai, which was simply a loss-making deal.

"Retreat!" Of course, Cao Hong understands the choice, or keep a useful body for after-effects. Cao Hong, who is good at business, knows that loss-making business cannot be done. As for whether Cao Cao will be blamed, that is two words.

It was impossible for Cao Jun to leave all of them, and Cao Hong also said to his own soldiers and deputy generals. He also needs Cao Jun to help him resist Guan Yu in order to buy time.

Cao Hong was very smart, he had already prepared ordinary soldiers' clothes, took off his general's armor, and then quietly left the city wall with a large number of henchmen and soldiers, and ran towards the unblocked city gate, where dry food for horses and horses had been prepared, enough for their needs to escape.

The Beihai city wall was lost, and the soldiers of the Cao army hurriedly looked for their main general, but they couldn't find Cao Hong, and even the deputy general was nowhere to be found.

When Cao Hong's armor was scattered on the ground, Cao Jun finally understood that their master had abandoned them and left.

The main generals all ran away, what else did they fight, they laid down their weapons and surrendered.

And when Guan Yu came to the city gate tower in a murderous manner, he saw a large number of Cao Jun squatting on the ground in frustration. A soldier knelt down and said, "General, we surrender!" ”

"Why?" Guan Yu squinted his eyes and said.

The soldier said, "Cao Hong has abandoned me and left, and I don't want to fight anymore." ”

Guan Yu approached the past, he was not afraid of these Cao Jun tricks.

As soon as he saw the general's armor on the ground, Guan Yu understood that what these soldiers said was true. So Guan Yu ordered the soldiers to spread the news of Cao Hong's escape.

The entire Cao army in Beihai was silent when they heard the news. The main general is gone, so they don't have to work hard as little shrimp to eat food as soldiers.

Except for some recalcitrant people, the entire Beihai Cao army chose to surrender.

Guan Yu would not be soft on these recalcitrant people, and he personally stepped forward to kill them all.

The entire Beihai was finally captured by Guan Yu, and Guan Yu's troops erupted in enthusiastic cheers to celebrate their victory.

Cao Hong, who had already run away, heard the cheers behind him, and said indignantly: "Guan Yu, don't be complacent, the general will definitely recapture Beihai, you wait for me." ”

Cao Hong and his entourage galloped towards Xuzhou.
