Chapter 918: Cao Apu Drinking at the Head of the City

The first few days went well.

The forests on both sides were not noticed by Cao Jun.

Every night, Zhao Hui would send another thousand people to quietly transport away the soil dug up during the day.

More than 100 meters can be dug every day.

If you want to dig into Guandu City, it will take about a month.

However, as Guo Jia Xu You said, anyway, the price of storming Guandu now is unacceptable to Zhao Hui, rather than just feints every day, it is better to dig a few tunnels secretly.

Of course, Zhao Hui did not let go of the daily feints.

It's just that he goes a little less often, basically every other day.

Zhao Yundianwei and them also took turns to fight in front of the city gate.

The gates of Guandu were sealed by Cao Cao, and it was difficult for the Zhao army to break the city, and it was also difficult for the Cao army to come out.

So basically, every day is under the city walls.

In the beginning, they would shoot arrows at each other, but after a few days, they stopped shooting arrows.

The Zhao army shot arrows under the city, and it was difficult to hurt the Cao army on the city wall.

And Cao Jun archery, Zhao Jun was also prepared, and there were not many people who went to fight, Cao Jun shot arrows, and they retreated back with their shields.

Shoot thousands of arrows, but you can't even kill a single person, what else to shoot.

Arrows are consumables, and the arrows that are shot out will basically be damaged, and even if they are picked up, they cannot be used, and the arrows need to be replaced.

Rather than wasting arrows now, it's better to keep them and use them when it counts.

Especially on the Cao army's side, they are now trapped in Guandu, and they will run out of arrows now, and when the Zhao army starts to really attack the city, there will not be enough arrows, and that will affect the overall situation.

Cao Cao got a chair and sat at the head of the city every day, very leisurely.

When the sun is great, there are two maidservants holding umbrellas.

There was a pot of wine in front of him, and while drinking the wine, he looked at Zhao Jun under the city, and he couldn't see that he was worried at all.

Cao Cao didn't come to fight, he was more like he came for an outing, sitting at the head of the city every day, looking at the scenery outside, looking at the wilderness outside.

Cao Cao just sat here, and for the soldiers on the side, he just enjoyed it in public.

But the soldiers on the side, not only did not complain, but because Cao Cao was sitting at the head of the city, they were at ease.

And look, and all those who were afraid looked at the city.

The prime minister is sitting there like this, what else are you afraid of?

What if there are many soldiers in Zhao, it's not that they can't get in, so they can only scold under the city.

The prime minister has also sent people to Xudu, and it won't be long before reinforcements arrive.

Drinking a little wine and looking at Dian Wei who was fighting below, Cao Cao's heart was not as relaxed as he faced.

Looking at Dian Wei who was scolding, Cao Cao was not angry, even if Dian Wei scolded him for being a eunuch.

Cao Cao was just annoyed why Dian Wei was not his subordinate.

"If only Dian Wei were my man."

If he was facing other princes at the moment, Cao Cao must say a word and capture Dian Wei alive.

Then he will personally untie Dian Wei and make Dian Wei surrender.

But unfortunately, if he wants to capture Dian Wei alive, it is almost impossible.

And the lord of Dian Wei is Zhao Hui, in the hands of Zhao Hui, Dian Wei is also reused, and the relationship between the two is like brothers.

Cao Cao knew that even if he was very lucky and really captured Dian Wei alive, he would not be able to subdue Dian Wei.

If he dared to untie Dian Wei in person, Dian Wei would tear him up immediately.

"Hey!"

Looking at Dian Wei below, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Someone, go and ask Your Majesty to come over." Said.

He is here to stabilize the morale of the army, and the Son of Heaven does not need to appear every day, but once in a while, it can also have an impact on morale and stimulate morale.

Otherwise, if you stay in it every day and listen to the abuse from the city, it will be difficult for those soldiers to endure it, and their morale will continue to decline.

Liu Xie is a lot haggard, although he has always been a puppet, but as the Son of Heaven, he is basically clothed and fed.

From Chang'an to Luoyang, along the way, it was the hardest time for Liu Xie, even if he thinks about it now, Liu Xie can't help crying.

But now, his life is not easy either.

I eat the same as the soldiers in the army every day, and I sleep on hard planks every day.

This day is simply not a human life.

He thought he would never live like this again.

Although he was a puppet before, his food and clothing were all standard for the Son of Heaven.

Now he is still a puppet, but he eats and wears the same as the most ordinary soldier.

Those hard flatbreads, Liu Xie felt like blood was bleeding from his mouth every time.

If it weren't for being too hungry, Liu Xie would definitely not eat these things.

On the way back to Luoyang, he suffered for half a year, although he had already sworn in his heart at that time that he would never eat these again in the future.

Back in Luoyang, and then to Xudu, Liu Xie quickly forgot, and he only thought about how to get rid of the puppet identity in his heart.

This time he was taken by Cao Cao to recruit in person, although the previous food was not as good as that in the Xu Du Palace, Cao Cao would still send someone to open a small stove for Liu Xie to make something to eat.

But from Yanjin to Guandu, the whole army went up and down, and the food was all the same.

Not only Liu Xie, but Cao Cao himself also ate and drank the same as ordinary soldiers.

It was only when he was on the head of the city that Cao Cao would have a jar of wine and a wine glass in front of him.

For food, Cao Cao has never been extravagant, and when he was in Xudu, Cao Cao's daily diet was not much different from that of ordinary people.

In terms of food and clothing, extravagance and waste have always been prohibited, that is, his family, who is better dressed, will be punished by Cao Cao.

Even if he nibbles hard flatbread every day, Cao Cao can eat it deliciously.

Cao Cao doesn't pay much attention to the material, he prefers spiritual enjoyment.

He craves power.

He enjoys the wonderful feeling that comes with power.

In addition to power, Cao Cao enjoys women the most.

Liu Xie lost a lot of weight, Yu Cong walked in front, Liu Xie slowly came to the city and looked at Zhao Jun below, Liu Xie felt dizzy.

"Cao Cao greets Your Majesty." When Liu Xie walked to the side, Cao Cao stood up, and then offered his hand to Liu Xie.

"The prime minister doesn't need to be polite." Liu Xiedao.

He didn't know why Cao Cao called him, and he didn't know what to do now, so he had to look at Zhao Jun below.

Holding Yu Cong with one hand, he felt that he would not fall.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as the minister is still there, the enemy army will not be able to break the city." Cao Cao saw that Liu Xie's heart was weak.

Cao Cao was disdainful of Liu Xie, the son of heaven, and Cao Cao had many ways to kill Liu Xie.

It's just that even if Liu Xie is killed now, it will only stain his own reputation, and he still has to continue to support a puppet emperor.

"Son of Heaven again, Dian Wei, do you really want to rebel?"

Cao Cao suddenly shouted at Dian Wei under the city.
