"Xun Wenruo, you are talking nonsense with your eyes open. Don't you know what this king is doing? Liu Yu said with a smile.

In order to continue to delay time, Xun Yu also pretended to be stupid and said: "I really don't know what the prince has to do when he comes to Xuchang?" ”

Liu Yu laughed and said: "Xun Wenruo, don't delay any longer, Cao Cao won't be able to come back for a while now." Don't talk so much nonsense between you and me. This king wants to ask you a question, did Kaesong surrender? ”

was exposed by Liu Yu, Xun Yu's face sank, and he said in a deep voice: "I am deeply favored by the lord, and I will definitely not surrender, Lord Wang, don't waste your efforts." The gate of Xuchang is placed there, and the prince can open it himself. ”

Xun Yu's words were neither humble nor arrogant, and even provoked Liu Yu.

"In that case, this king will be as you wish. The three armies listened to the order and immediately attacked Xuchang. Liu Yu gave the order to attack.

Liu Yu didn't care what Xun Yu's expression on the city wall was, and was ready to turn around and leave.

"Shoot the arrows!" Xun Yu shouted, and a large number of archers appeared behind him, shooting a large wave of arrows at Liu Yu.

"I'll you." Liu Yu was taken aback, he didn't expect Xun Yu to have such a shameless side. Liu Yu hurriedly fled for his life, fortunately, Liu Yu's mount was a rare and excellent war horse, extremely fast, otherwise Liu Yu might have been plotted by Xun Yu.

"Haha." The defenders of Cao Cao on the city wall of Xuchang let out a hearty laugh when they saw that Liu Yu, the king of Zhao who was so powerful, was so embarrassed.

Xun Yu secretly screamed a pity, if Liu Yu took a few steps forward just now, then he would be able to kill Liu Yu. Xun Yu planned to kill Liu Yu before Liu Yu came, but unfortunately it fell short. Therefore, people can't be good-looking, and Xun Yu, who seems to be loyal, also has a cunning side.

Fleeing back to his camp in embarrassment, thinking of Xun Yu's plot against himself just now, Liu Yu was furious and scolded: "Xun Wenruo, you'd better not fall into the hands of this king!" After this king breaks through Xuchang, you must look good! ”

"The Lord is angry. Xun Yu's actions this time were to anger the lord and make him lose his mind. I guess that Xun Yu is fully prepared, and if our army attacks, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Jia Xu quickly said that Liu Yu could not be allowed to give wrong orders out of anger.

The anger in Liu Yu's heart was slowly subsided by Jia Xu's words.

Liu Yu said: "Xun Yu's scheming is profound, and he is not easy to match. Just now, the king almost fell for his plot. This king was not ready to attack Xuchang in the first place, so he passed the order to go down and prepare a strong bow and crossbow to shoot Xuchang into a hornet's nest for this king. ”

"Yes, my lord is wise." Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Liu Yu follow his advice.

"There is also an order for the whole army to pretend to build siege equipment, and this king wants to play Xun Yu well." Liu Yu added.

"Yes."

Xun Yu was originally well prepared, he pondered that even if he couldn't kill Liu Yu, he could make him angry and attack the city, and he had prepared all the defensive equipment on his side, which was enough for Liu Yu's army to drink a pot, which could greatly hit the morale of Liu Yu's army.

As a result, Xun Yu was disappointed. Liu Yu did not attack the city in a rage, but instead sent a large number of archers to shoot at Xuchang City, and many defenders fell to the ground with arrows. Xun Yu hurriedly let the defenders hide from the rain of arrows.

Liu Yu observed the weather, the weather was dry and windless, and it was the best time to attack with rockets.

"Rocket ready! Burn Xuchang to ashes for this king. Liu Yu gave the order.

The production of rockets is more troublesome, and there are many restrictions on the conditions for use, so Liu Yu didn't prepare too much, but according to Liu Yu's current rocket inventory, it is enough for Xuchang to drink a pot.

Xun Yu saw a large number of archers holding rockets under the city, and said anxiously: "The enemy is about to launch rockets, and all flammable materials such as fire oil are protected." Can't be shot! ”

Xun Yu prepared a large number of defensive equipment, including a large amount of fire oil, if it was shot by Liu Yu's rocket, it would be miserable.

Cao Jun hurriedly protected all the oil barrels, and just as they were preparing, Liu Yu's archers began to fire rockets.

The buildings of this era were all civil structures, and although some fire prevention measures were taken, they were still prone to fire in the final analysis. Liu Yu's rocket hit the city gate tower, causing sparks. Xun Yu hurriedly ordered someone to extinguish the fire, probably deserving of Xun Yu's bad luck, a rocket very coincidentally shot into the oil barrel, causing a big explosion. Xun Yu was almost affected, but fortunately, the guards were strong and did not let him be harmed.

Liu Yu was very satisfied with his results, and then ordered the whole army to retreat and start camping.

Xun Yu originally thought that Liu Yu would take the opportunity to attack, but Liu Yu chose to retreat, which made him wonder. For the sake of safety, Xun Yu still cheered up and arranged for the defenders to be ready at all times.

After Liu Yu set up camp, he ordered Jia Xu to arrange people to create the appearance of the siege equipment that was built, which made Xun Yu panic.

Today's attack gave Xun Yu a great shock, and it seemed that he had no way to defend this Xuchang City. Xun Yu sent an envoy to find Cao Cao again, hoping that Cao Cao would speed up.

After Cao Cao received Xun Yu's letter for help, he was even more anxious, originally Cao Cao estimated that even if Liu Yu marched quickly, he had already made various arrangements, and Liu Yu could not reach Xuchang so quickly, but the result surprised Cao Cao, the attack power of Liu Yu's army was too terrifying. Cao Cao ordered the army to speed up and must return before Liu Yu could break through Xuchang.

Liu Yu sent scouts to inquire about the news of Cao Cao's army, and after many inquiries, he finally learned that Cao Cao still had a day's journey from Xuchang.

Liu Yu knew that it was time for him to transfer, but in order to create fog for Xun Yu, Liu Yu specially arranged a night attack at night.

In fact, Xun Yu had been preparing for Liu Yu's night attack for a long time, and he was also prepared, pouring fire oil under the city wall and igniting it to illuminate it.

The two sides fought for half the night, but no result was decided. Liu Yu felt that the heat was almost over, so he called Jin and withdrew his troops.

Although Liu Yu retired from the army, Xun Yu did not dare to relax his vigilance, who knows if Liu Yu would come again.

Some generals couldn't stand being pressed and beaten by Liu Yu, so they suggested that Xun Yu send troops to attack Liu Yu at night to show his evil spirit. Xun Yu refuted on the spot, the reason is very simple, whoever can return safely in the camp of 100,000 troops, then he can naturally go, he Xun Wenruo will definitely not stop him, and he will commend his merits to the Son of Heaven and Cao Cao. But if he never returns or loses his troops, don't blame him for being ruthless.

Listening to Xun Yu's words, the defenders were speechless, and no one dared to speak again.

Xun Yu looked at Liu Yu's camp and hoped that Cao Cao would come back soon.
