"In my opinion, Liu Zheng knows that we are here, and he will definitely not continue to stay here, so we don't need to pursue, concentrate on besieging Shouchun, within three days, break Shouchun City, and then wave his army to the south and work together to deal with Liu Zheng, this is the best choice."

"Brother Meng De has won my heart, so I will do as you say."

Liu Dai had been pondering, and after hearing Cao Cao's opinion, he finally agreed.

Subsequently, Liu Dai ordered not to pursue Liu Zheng, let the people who retreated from the battlefield rest for one night, and prepare to attack Shouchun City with all their strength tomorrow.

On the side of Shouchun City, after repeated attacks, there are already some precarious situations, if it weren't for the vigorous defense of Ji Ling, Lei Bo, Liu Xun and others, I am afraid that the city would have been beaten down a long time ago.

Rao is like this, the city gate has also suffered a great loss, and this city gate was only burned by Yuan Shu's people half a month ago, so it is not solid.

Therefore, it is very possible to break the city within three days.

However, in the battle of attacking Shouchun, Cao Cao and Zhang Miao snickered and slipped secretly, they were not the main force, but assisted Liu Dai, the attackers were mostly Liu Dai's men and horses, and the three parties each attacked a city gate, Cao Cao and Zhang Miao were both feints, and only Liu Dai's people were attacking with all their might.

The defenders in Shouchun City who fought were in great pain, but in order to survive, they were defending with all their might.

On the first day, Shouchun City was not captured, but hundreds of soldiers defending the city were killed, and the people of the three major legions also lost some men and horses.

Only Liu Dai's army, which really attacked Shouchun with all its might, suffered more losses.

The 30,000 elite soldiers brought by Liu Dai from Yanzhou had already lost thousands of people when they attacked Huainan in the early stage, and they had lost a lot of money again when attacking Shouchun in the recent period.

Now there are only 20,000 people left under Liu Dai. If these 20,000 people continue to attack Shouchun with all their might, they will continue to lose money, which is not what Liu Dai is willing to see.

Therefore, after the all-out attack on the first day did not work to break Shouchun City, Liu Dai, who was already frightened on the second day, did not let his men and horses attack the city with all his might, but became a little tactful like Cao Cao and Zhang Miao, the thunder and rain were small, and every time the shouting and killing sound shook the sky, but when the city was really attacked, there was not much action, in order to disturb the morale of Yuan Shu's army on the city tower and force them to surrender themselves.

Two days later. Finally, the soldiers in charge of standing guard outside Shouchun sent them the news, saying that the brothers who were on guard had found a troop of soldiers and horses and quickly approached Shouchun City.

Cao Cao, who had always sent a large number of soldiers and horses to defend, immediately understood that this was Liu Zheng's comeback after rectification.

And what they are waiting for is Liu Zheng to attack, after all, as long as they are in Shouchun City, they are not afraid that Liu Zheng will not come, if Liu Zheng really does not come, then they will eliminate Yuan Shu first, and then go to clean up Liu Zheng, and they will not suffer left and right.

If Liu Zheng comes, turning the passive into the active will be more conducive to them to deal with Liu Zheng.

"Send someone to inform Liu Daizhou Mu and Zhang Miao Taishou, and say that Liu Zheng will lead the army to come again, this time there is no need to set up an ambush, let Liu Zheng come over, and we will compete with Liu Zheng's men and horses in Shouchun City, and see how powerful Liu Zheng, who has been famous for a long time, is."

After Cao Cao received the news, he immediately sent someone to send the news to Liu Dai and Zhang Miao.

Liu Dai and Zhang Miao, the two, were thinking about how to besiege the city, at this time after receiving the news sent by Cao Cao, they immediately prepared soldiers and horses, and went to meet Cao Cao, sure enough, just after their soldiers and horses were just together, they met Liu Zheng led his more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and hurriedly came to Shouchun City.

Not far outside the city, the tripartite army of Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Liu Dai was divided into the middle, and the left and right sides lined up, waiting for Liu Zheng's arrival.

The spies have already spread the news of the arrival of Liu Zheng and others, Cao Cao and others are also ready to deal with it, the 60,000 troops present, except for 20,000 people, continue to besiege Shouchun City, the remaining 40,000 troops, all of them are waiting here, arranging the military formation, waiting for Liu Zheng to charge.

As long as Liu Zheng dared to rush over, 40,000 people immediately changed the formation of the attack, and the men and horses on the left and right flanks charged forward and encircled Liu Zheng, more than 10,000 people.

Liu Zheng came to Shouchun City at this time, and there were some accidents, after all, Cao Cao and the others were waiting for him in a tight battle, thinking about it, Cao Cao should have guessed that he would come.

Simply, Liu Zheng didn't hide it, and walked out of the army directly.

glanced at the 40,000 troops in the distance, the distance was too far to see the other party's face clearly, but he could still judge Cao Cao by his clothes.

After all, three years ago, Liu Zheng had already met Cao Cao, had a relationship with Cao Cao, and had seen Cao Cao's power, so Liu Zheng's impression of Cao Cao was very profound, and among the crowd and tens of thousands of people, Cao Cao could be identified by his appearance at a glance.

"Cao Mengde, I haven't seen you for many years, do you still remember me!"

When Liu Zheng saw Cao Cao, he shouted at Cao Cao from a distance.

Cao Cao was looking at Liu Zheng's army in the distance at this time, still searching for Liu Zheng's figure, unlike Liu Zheng, the Liu Zheng that Cao Cao saw that day was just a person dressed as a small soldier, and his appearance did not leave too much impression on Cao Cao.

So Cao Cao didn't recognize Liu Zheng at the first time, but after Liu Zheng took the initiative to shout, Cao Cao saw Liu Zheng with the voice.

Looking at this and comparing the impression of Liu Zheng in his heart, Cao Cao still felt that Liu Zheng had changed a lot.

There is a big difference from the Liu Zheng I saw at the beginning, whether it is in terms of image or temperament, Liu Zheng back then, no matter how I say it, he was just a powerful little soldier, maybe a ghost, but he never had the calm and calm look of the superior.

And now Liu Zheng, in the past three years, he has been fighting in the south and the north, and with the continuous improvement of his status, he has long lost the fear of war in his heart, but is more of enjoyment, so the temperament exuded by his body is already different.

This is no longer the case.

"Hahaha, Liu Zheng, I didn't expect that the yellow turban thief a few years ago has become so powerful now, and has become a prince, not only can he oppose the imperial court, but also occupy the two states and counties of the imperial court.

Although Cao Cao said that he was jealous of Liu Zheng, Cao Cao still had a lot of appreciation for Liu Zheng, at least, Cao Cao asked himself, if he was in Liu Zheng's identity, he might not be much better than Liu Zheng.

It is also amazing that he was able to rise all the way through a yellow turban soldier and make today's achievements.
