On the first night after the pottery merchant attacked the city, Cao Pi came to visit Xun Yu's prison.

Xun Yu's cheeks that were punched by Cao Zhang's previous punch were still slightly swollen, but after careful treatment by the Xuchang medical officer, they have improved a lot, at least they don't look particularly terrifying.

Today, the Jinling army is attacking the city strongly, and the soldiers of the Cao army in the whole city are concentrated in the four gates to defend it, and no one has time to interrogate Xun Yu.

However, the confession from Xun Yu's mouth and the confession of Xun Yuhua's confession have always been in Cao Pi's mind and have not been dispersed.

For Cao Pi personally, this matter can be said to be very important.

The prison is a dungeon, with no sunlight during the day and no moonlight at night, only a lone lamp flickering faintly in the cell.

Xun Yu saw Cao Pi coming in, but he just glanced at him and didn't speak.

Cao Pi stepped in and found a clean place to sit down.

He looked at Xun Yu coldly and said, "I thought you were wronged, but now it seems that you are indeed in collusion with the potter!" I, Dow, treat you well, why are you like this? ”

Xun Yu raised his eyes to look at him and said lightly: "Why do you say this?" ”

"For you, the potter gave up Puyang City and transferred troops to fight Xuchang, and when he arrived in Xuchang, he didn't even rest, and directly surrounded and attacked! Do you know how tragic our city of Xuchang is in today's battle? When Cao Pi said this, his tone was full of resentment and anger.

Xun Yu was silent when he heard this.

He thought about it for a moment, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Gao, that's really smart."

Cao Pi frowned slightly: "Who do you say is smart?" ”

"Not about you anyway." Xun Yu's tone was not very good.

Cao Pi stood up, walked up to Xun Yu, and glared at him tightly: "Say, what is the deal between you and the potter?" Say! ”

Xun Yu didn't answer Cao Pi's question, but asked him instead: "The pottery merchants attacked the city, how about the scholars and people in the city?" But what's the resistance? ”

Cao Pi: "What benefits did the potter promise you?" ”

Xun Yu: "Can the city guard equipment in the city be complete?" ”

Cao Pi: "When did you start contacting the potter?" ”

Xun Yu: "Can the scholars in the city still donate military funds?" ”

Cao Pi: "Is it your trick to send Cao Ren and my brother from Xuchang?" ”

Xun Yu: "The pottery merchants are attacking the city, the people's hearts are unstable, you have to let me out to stabilize the situation, and after the situation is stable, you can do whatever you want with Xun." ”

Cao Pi took a deep breath.

He now fully understood what it meant to play the piano to the cow.

followed Xun Wenruo, who seemed to be unable to understand people's words.

If it weren't for the fact that the time was not right now, Cao Pi hated to strangle Xun Yu with his own hands...... Two slaps before strangulation.

"Mr. Wenruo, are you listening to me?"

Xun Yu grimaced and said, "Second son, have you listened to me?" At present, the current situation is in crisis, and the people in the city are afraid that the people are uncertain, I just ask you to let me out to assist in the city defense, to defend the city, Tao Bing retreated, Xun is willing to let the killing and disposal, no complaints! ”

Cao Pi finally couldn't help it, he grabbed Xun Yu's clothes, and said angrily: "Xun Yu, don't think that you are amazing, without you Xun Yu, my Cao family can still protect Xuchang City, this Xuchang City is surnamed Cao, not Xun!" The people in the city are the people of my Cao family, not the people of your Xun Yu! ”

The corners of Xun Yu's mouth flashed a hint of ridicule, he stretched out his hand and pushed Cao Pi away, and said angrily: "Xuchang is the city of the Han family, and the people are the people of the Liu family, what does it have to do with the Cao family and the Xun family?" Be careful when Childe speaks! ”

"You ......" Cao Pi pointed at Xun Yu fiercely, nodded and said, "You wait!" Sooner or later, I'll clean you up! ”

With that, he turned and walked out.

Seeing that Cao Pi's oil and salt did not enter, the tears in Xun Yu's eyes slowly flowed down his cheeks.

Xuchang City, it's over.

……

Cao Zhang was outside the prison door, listening to the movement inside.

When he was young, seeing Cao Pi walking out of the cell, Cao Zhang walked up and said: "Second brother, the scholars in the city are indeed a little uncooperative at the moment, the donated food and the number of people are much less than before, is this related to Xun Yu being imprisoned, otherwise, let's release him first, and talk about it later?" ”

Cao Pi secretly scolded Cao Zhang for being stupid.

If Xun Yu is released now, let him make a great contribution and defend the city, wouldn't it be more difficult to let him go to prison again in the future?

"This person is in collusion with the Tao family, if he is released, I don't know what else will cause trouble!"

Cao Zhang nodded inexplicably, and he didn't know whether he understood or not.

But Cao Pi is his elder brother, and he just does what he asks him to do.

At this time, a guard suddenly ran in from outside and said to Cao Pi: "Second son, it's not good, the Jinling army is attacking the city again!" ”

Cao Pi led Cao Zhang and hurriedly rushed out of the cell.

Now that the sky is dark, the soldiers of the Cao army on the entire city wall have long been exhausted because of the fierce battle during the day.

I thought I could rest for a night, but I never thought that the Tao Shang army would come to attack the city again.

Although the Cao army relied on the city and equipment to protect the city, in one matter, they were completely incomparable with the Jinling army.

That is, there are many soldiers in Jinling.

The soldiers of the Jinling Army who were attacking the city during the day had already gone back to rest, and the soldiers who attacked tonight had changed again.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the Jinling army was holding torches in the rear, illuminating the night sky as if it were day, and launched a night battle against Xuchang City.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Countless projectiles that ignited the fire were smashed into the city of Xuchang by a large number of stone throwers.

Tonight's battle was supervised by the potters themselves.

While observing the head of Xuchang City, he instructed the heralds: "The three armies should not rush to the head of the city for the time being, they only need to bombard the city with a stone thrower, and use the well fence to shoot rockets to the head of the city, attack from a long distance, and disrupt the enemy army with the greatest strength, but reduce close combat and casualties." ”

The military order was passed down, but Xu Chu seemed very anxious.

He swayed back and forth beside the potter, and said anxiously: "Prime Minister, you just let the stone throwers and crossbowmen attack from a distance, when will it be our turn to attack the attacking army, the hands of the last generals are itchy!" ”

The potter glanced at him and said with a smile: "It shouldn't be your business tonight, or you go back to make up for sleep first, and I will send someone to greet you if you need to." ”

"What?" Xu Chu was stunned when he heard this: "Attacking the city, you actually let us go to the rear to sleep, Prime Minister, you are not lying to us, right?" ”

On the other side of the potter, Xu Rong said in a low voice: "Prime Minister, you only let the stone thrower and the well fence attack, at most it will only consume the morale of the enemy army, and it will be useless for attacking the city." ”

"The city is not in a hurry to take it, what I want is to consume the morale of the enemy army and the materials for their defense...... After a long time, I see what Cao Hong will do to maintain the city defense, and in addition, in this way, the variables in the city will also become larger. ”
