Due to the lack of military rations, Cao Cao had to order the siege to be stopped and began to think of a solution.

Cao Cao, who had been sleepless all night, finally decided that the only solution was to conquer Shouchun City as soon as possible.

Immediately, Cao Cao found Xun You and Mao Yu and said to them: "Gongda, Xiaoxian, I am afraid that the shortage of food in our army can only be solved by capturing Shouchun, I don't know if you two can break the city?" ”

Xun You and Mao Jue also thought about it after hearing this.

After a while, Mao Jue said: "Lord, Shouchun City is located in the middle of the Huai River, we might as well try water attack?" ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao and Xun You were shocked, because the consequences of flooding Shouchun were a bit serious, after all, the Huai River was no better than a stream, once the water of the Huai River was blocked, the counties in the lower reaches of the Huai River would basically suffer.

At this time, Xun Youjin said: "Filial piety is too vicious, once the water of the Huai River is blocked, the lower reaches of the Huai River will be ruined, please be cautious!" ”

Cao Cao thought about it carefully, and then rejected Mao Jue's suggestion.

Immediately, Xun You said again: "Lord, if we can't do anything, we can ask Sun Ce for help." ”

"Sun Bofu? He's probably not capable of that. ”

After Cao Cao vetoed Mao Jue and Xun You's suggestions one by one, he suddenly had an idea.

Immediately after, Cao Cao said: "Gongda, filial piety, I have a countermeasure." ”

"I plan to take advantage of the lack of food to lure Yuan Jun out of the city, and you come with your ears."

After hearing this, Xun You and Mao Jue immediately came to Cao Cao's mouth.

Cao Cao then told his plan.

After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xun You and Mao Jue both exclaimed, because Cao Cao's strategy was a bit dangerous, and he would be cocooned if he was not careful.

At this time, Xun Yu said: "Lord, this plan is too dangerous!" ”

"Gongda, if you want to fish, if you can't bear the bait, do you think the fish will take the bait?"

"This ......"

Mao Jue saw that Xun You's words were stopped, and he also said: "Lord, it is indeed too dangerous for you to risk yourself, why don't you let the ministers and others replace it!" ”

"No, if there is no figure of me, then Yuan Shu will never let Yuan Jun come out again."

Xun You and Mao Jue saw that they really couldn't convince Cao Cao, and they could only try to fill in the gaps for Cao Cao's strategy.

After the three of them completed their discussion, Cao Cao immediately ordered Xiahou Yuan's soldiers and horses to join him at the east gate.

After Xiahou Yuan received Cao Cao's letter, he immediately led his troops to the east gate.

As Xiahou Yuanbu converged with Cao Cao, Cao Cao immediately gathered his military generals and told his plans.

After listening to what Cao Cao said, everyone was also shocked, because Cao Cao's strategy was really dangerous.

Xiahou Yuan, Cao Chun, Cao Zhen, and Cao Xiu also made suggestions to make Cao Cao unavoidable, but Cao Cao had made up his mind, and the persuasion of the four also ended in failure.

Immediately, Cao Cao immediately asked everyone to act according to his plan.

Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Le Jin, Cao Chun, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Xun You, Mao Jue, Xiahou Yuan, Chen Deng, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan also acted according to the plan.

The first to act were Zang Ba and Sun Guan, who were born as thieves in Taishan, and they came to the vicinity of the camp where the Qingzhou soldiers were stationed according to Cao Cao's will.

Then, Sun Guan whispered to Zang Ba: "Big boss, I heard that the food in the army is less than half a month, and the lord still asked us to attack Shouchun City, do you think we will withdraw halfway?" ”

"Sun Guan, Hugh is talking nonsense!"

At this time, a Qingzhou soldier happened to return to the camp.

Seeing this, Zang Ba immediately pulled Sun Guan away, because their goal had been achieved.

After Xiao Jie's Qingzhou soldiers saw Zang Ba and Sun Guan leaving, he immediately returned to the camp to spread the news, because he heard the news that Zang Ba and Sun Guan deliberately leaked.

As the news of the shortage of food in the army spread, the officers and men of the Cao army were also panicked.

When Cao Cao saw that the situation was developing as he had envisioned, he immediately sent several dead soldiers to surrender to Yuan Shu.

When the dead soldiers sent by Cao Cao saw Yuan, they immediately told Yuan Shu about Cao's army's lack of food and begged Yuan Shu to take them in.

After Yuan Shu listened to the words of Cao Jun's dead soldiers, he immediately felt that this was a great opportunity to defeat Cao Jun.

Immediately, Yuan Shu immediately found Yang Hong and said to him: "Yang Hong, just now I received a few Cao army soldiers, and they said that Cao Cao's army is about to run out of food, how credible do you think this matter is?" ”

After hearing this, Yang Hong immediately replied: "Your Majesty, when is this news?" ”

Yuan Shu then summoned the dead soldiers sent by Cao Cao.

After Yang Hong interrogated these dead soldiers, he suddenly thought to himself: "The Cao army in the north suddenly arrived at the east gate, and it seems that they are also connected. ’

Immediately, Yang Hong said to Yuan Shujin: "Your Majesty, the lack of food in the Cao army is probably not groundless, but we can also wait and see for a while, the minister expects that in less than three days, the Cao army will have movement." ”

After listening to Yang Hong's words, Yuan Shu also immediately agreed.

A day later.

The soldiers of Cao's army also asked Cao Cao for an explanation, because their rations were getting less and less.

Seeing this, Cao Cao immediately said: "Don't panic, the soldiers, our grain truck is coming soon, everyone hold on for two more days." ”

After hearing this, the soldiers of Cao Jun finally chose to believe Cao Cao.

After nightfall, Zang Ba and Sun Guan came to the camp of the Qingzhou soldiers and exposed Cao Cao's lies to everyone.

Immediately, Zang Ba and Sun Guan instigated the Qingzhou soldiers to mutiny in accordance with Cao Cao's will.

After all, the Qingzhou soldiers had poor military discipline, and they finally mutinied under the instigation of Zang Ba and Sun Guan.

For a time, Cao's camp was also chaotic.

When the scouts of the Yuan army, who had followed the movements of the Cao army closely, found that the Cao army's camp was sounding in the middle of the night, they immediately rushed to the palace to meet Yuan Shu.

When Yuan Shu, who had already fallen asleep, learned that there was an emergency military situation, he immediately got up and summoned the scouts who came to report the news.

When the scouts saw Yuan, they immediately reported to him what was going on outside the city.

When Yuan Shu learned that there had been a mutiny in the Cao army camp outside the city, he urgently summoned Yang Hong and said to him: "Yang Hong, you guessed it, the Cao army mutinied tonight. ”

"Lord, this is a God-given opportunity, please send troops to attack Cao's army as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Yuan Shu immediately summoned his generals Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, Liang Gang, Le Zhu, Lei Ji, Ji Ling, Chen Ji, and Lu Bu.

As everyone gathered, Yuan Shu immediately told everyone the news of Cao's mutiny.

Then, Yuan Shu ordered: "Qiaorui, Lei Shu, and Le will obey the order, and I will order you to lead 15,000 people out of the city to attack the camp of the Cao army." ”

The three of them quickly took the order and left.

At this time, the 30,000 Qingzhou soldiers also fought with the 20,000 main force of the Cao army.

At the same time, Xiahou Yuan took Le Jin and Xu Chu to the north gate with 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Soon, Qiao Rui, Le and Lei Shu's soldiers and horses were also killed in the Cao army camp.

With Yuan Jun intervening, Cao Jun's camp suddenly became a pot of porridge.

After Cao Cao saw Yuan Jun appear, he immediately said to Dian Wei beside him: "Dian Wei, Yuan Jun has appeared, quickly escort me to evacuate." ”

After hearing this, Dian Wei also quickly covered Cao Cao and began to retreat.

After Qiao Rui, Lei Shu, and Le saw Cao Cao's figure, they immediately led their troops to chase and kill him.
