Regarding Guo Jia's attention and entrustment, Cao Ren's answer was very firm: "Rest assured, the last general will definitely live up to the expectations of the military advisor!" ”

"Zixiao, this is not an expectation, the lives, honor and disgrace of tens of thousands of my Han army are in your hands, whether it is Li Dian or Cao Zhang, they will naturally cooperate with you, in comparison, you have nearly 40,000 people, and there are only thousands of people in my city at most, so ...... Heavy responsibilities. ”

"Don't worry!"

In fact, Guo Jia was able to hand over such an important task to him, It can be seen that he trusts Cao Ren, nodded Guo Jia didn't say anything more, and Cao Ren also ordered troops here.

After the two pillars of incense, the generals of the Han army, according to Guo Jia's strategy, went out of the city one after another and came to the designated position to station, and after a quarter of an hour, Cao Zhang, Zhu Ling, and Lu Zhao's soldiers and horses had already launched the first wave of challenges to the enemy army outside the south gate!

Looking at the movement of soldiers in the south, Guo Jia's gaze was firm and indifferent, I hope that the Guishan people will not count me to break the formation from the east, but even if they see through it, it doesn't matter, under such a deployment, their main force will definitely be firmly locked.

"Your Majesty, Da Sikong, the filial piety that should be done has been done, and the rest is up to you!"

……

On the other side, after a few days of slow exploration, Liu Xie and Cao Cao's army were only twenty miles away from the capital of Guishan at the moment!

That's right!

It took them so many days to advance a total of sixty miles!

Not only because of the rugged mountain roads, but more importantly, in order not to attract the attention of the defenders in the capital, Cao Cao deliberately split the army and approached the direction of the capital little by little, and finally today, the 15,000 people in his hands finally reached the designated position!

Lying behind the mountain, Xiahoudun looked at the Guishan capital with his own eyes, and couldn't help but speak: "Da Sikong, although the Guishan people are not very good at fighting, but you look at the city defense is still good." Giant crossbows, oil oil, javelins, longbows, it seems that it will not be easy for us to attack them. ”

"After all, it's the capital, and it's normal to have some defenses. I just don't know how much of an impact we have on the water source. Cao Cao said, turning back to Kirannu: "You go to the team now, mobilize all the war elephants, and rush here within an hour." ”

"No!"

Because Cao Cao was marching secretly this time, of course, the war elephants could not be carried with the army, so he arranged all the war elephants in a ravine outside the elephant circle before, about forty miles away from his troops.

Generally speaking, horses are not a problem, but elephants are relatively slow, and an hour can only be regarded as enough.

Kieran went on an errand, and Cao Cao explained to Liu Xie and others: "Your Majesty, everyone. Listen, today is the day of the general attack, and later let Kiran charge with the naturalized army and the war elephant cavalry, and then Yuan Rang, you take the second group of soldiers, and then slowly advance, if Kiran is defeated, you will immediately kill him and return with his troops. ”

"On the contrary, if he builds an attack and breaks the city, you have sent someone to control him, confiscated his talismans, and rushed into the enemy city with the headquarters of the Naturalized Army and the Han Army, remember that Vesudeva must be captured no matter what!"

"The last general obeys!"

Cao Cao nodded, and looked at Le Jin again: "Wen Qian, you are the first general, this time to attack the city, but I want to put you in the third formation, and wait for the attack of the front army to go well." If the front army is not in order, you will lead the third formation and move to its side, after all, the onslaught of Yuan will definitely attract the attention of the other party. Then you will be the first to come up from the city. ”

"Lord Sikong, don't worry, the last general will obey the order!"

Cao Cao smiled, and he was still very relieved of Le Jin: "Gongming, come here." ”

called Xu Huang, obviously this time, Cao Cao is much more serious: "Yuan Rang and Wen Qian have tasks, the next thing." You have to listen well, this time you and Zihe went out together, led the tiger and leopard cavalry and other cavalry, patrolled the city, but when you see the escapees in the city, you can also wait for the opportunity to challenge and buy time for Yuan Rang and others. ”

"The last general obeys!"

Xu Huang said, got up and came to Cao Chun's side, and after conveying it, he arched his hand at Liu Xie and Cao Cao, and then prepared to go, Cao Cao arranged the time for the siege and decisive battle after an hour.

In this process, Liu Xie was somewhat excited, sitting on the saddle against the tree, with an uncertain expression on his face, with a little nervousness and a little indifference.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing this, Cao Cao stepped forward with a smile. Liu Xie said: "It's nothing, I have never been on the battlefield, and I can't help but be a little nervous at the moment." ”

"Why should Your Majesty be nervous?" Cao Cao took a deep breath and patted him on the shoulder: "The minister is here, although the generals have been sent out, Zhongkang is still guarding, and the security will be fine, but the minister still has one more thing to discuss with you." ”

Every time Cao Cao said this, there was absolutely nothing good, Liu Xie had already tasted it thoroughly, but he couldn't say anything yet, it was really uncomfortable.

Nodding silently, Cao Cao said: "This expedition, since it is Your Majesty's crime, it has arrived outside their city gate, I think we should not hide it anymore, before the minister came out, I brought a copy of your Son of Heaven battle flag, I think it is better to wait for the war to start, and hang it, so that the Guishan people can see the martial arts of my Han Emperor, how about it?" ”

"This ...... All right! ”

In fact, Liu Xie was a little surprised by his statement, after all, at this moment, whose banner is played, if he wins, then the credit lies with whom, he thought that Cao would put up his own banner, after all, this kind of good thing, for him, the more the more is not too much.

However, although he was puzzled in his heart, he did not ask a question, but brought the conversation back, in contrast, Liu Xie was more concerned about the arrangements after the victory: "Sikong, I see that the Han will win this battle, so what should I do after the siege?" ”

"Well...... this"

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, and suddenly asked, "What does Your Majesty think it should be?" ”

"I don't know." Liu Xie shook his head, his expression sincere: "Because I have never done anything like this." ”

"According to the minister's original intention, he wanted to put Vesudeva to death, and all the Kushan royal family was brought back to the Han Dynasty to be imprisoned, and then the Guishan became a part of the Han Dynasty, but ...... The thing found in the underground water cistern made the minister change his mind. ”

Cao Cao said, also sat down, and got very close to Liu Xie, obviously not wanting his words to be heard by others.

"Your Majesty, no matter who this wave of tune is, since he has the handle in our hands, it is better to use this as a constraint, the king of Guishan, let him continue to do it, but to the outside world to recognize that it is a subject country of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time the Han Dynasty will send officials to supervise, restrict, and give names, as long as he agrees to pay tribute to the year, I think it is better to leave them, after all, the subject country does not need the imperial court to help, so that not only do you save money, but also can use them as a barrier against the Xiongnu and Wuhuan."

Hearing this, Liu Xie hesitated slightly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Boss Cao's arrangement really maximized the benefits, but he was still a little worried: "Lord Sikong, is it just such a small parchment scroll, can it really restrain Wei Sudeva?" He only sat on the throne after overthrowing his predecessors, and this kind of person is very ambitious, but he is afraid that he will not give in. ”

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao suddenly laughed loudly: "Your Majesty, you also said it, that was before he sat on the throne!" The minister assured that in his eyes now, fame and lineage far outweighed the so-called ambition, after all, this thing could affect the stability of his royal power, and he would not ignore it. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao suddenly paused, seeing that Liu Xie didn't seem to be going to say anything more, only to see him stand up and wave over there, and ordered in a loud voice: "Someone!" Hang the banner of the Son of Heaven and prepare for war! ”
