Chapter 228: Also do the retracted head turtle

The lord still remembers that a few years ago, when the lord first took Xuzhou, Zhang Jie asked the lord to send Lu Bu's family to him. Zhang Jie said in the letter that he would send troops to help Cao Cao in a decisive battle between the lord and Cao Cao in the future, so even if Zhang Jie did not help, he would never attack Qingzhou.

Yuan Shao thought for a while and said: Okay, according to Ziyuan's words, let's guard Pengcheng first. I also make a retracted head turtle. Look at him Cao Apu's ability to endure me and. Hahahaha!

And Cao Cao was also in a big hurry in the military camp, and he didn't expect that Yuan Benchu, the third prince of the fourth world, would also learn from Gongsun Zan to be a turtle with a shrunken head.

Cao Cao sent troops to attack twice, killing and wounding thousands of people. I haven't even gone up to the walls. If it continues to be attacked like this, 100,000 people will not be able to take Pengcheng even if they die.

Cao Cao said: Yuan Shao is so unbearable, to be a turtle with a shrunken head, what are your best plans?

Does Zhongde have a plan? Cheng Yudao: It's better to send someone to inform Lu Bu that the main force of Yuan's army is in Pengcheng, and let Lu Bu lead the army to attack the interior of Xuzhou. Forcing Yuan Shao to send troops to chase Lu Bu? The lord sent another army of men and horses to ambush, which may break the deadlock.

Cao Cao thought for a moment and said: What do you think?

Guo Jiadao: Lu Bu may be tempted. But Chen Gong would not agree, Lu Bu only had a few thousand soldiers and horses, and Chen Gong's idea was that Yuan Shao was defeated, so they could take advantage of the fire to rob. However, Yuan Shao is not defeated at present, and Chen Gong will never be the first to enter the hinterland of Xuzhou. He was afraid that if he was not careful, he would be wiped out. It's hard to do!

In fact, Cao Cao also knew what Chen Gong had in mind, and at this time, let Lu Bu go to Yuan Shao's hinterland alone, how could Chen Gong agree! Fools know that Yuan Shao has more than 100,000 horses, and he can destroy him by sending 10,000 or 20,000 people.

At this time, Cao Ang said: Maybe the child has a plan to break through Pengcheng.

Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, has always been the most valued by Cao Cao. Died in Nanyang Wancheng in history. Because Jia Xu asked Zhang Jie to poach it early, Nanyang didn't take much effort to let Cao Cao take it.

Cao Ang didn't die.

Cao Cao listened to Cao Ang's plan to break the city. Happy said: What is Ang'er's plan?

Cao Angdao: Actually, this is not a child's strategy, it is Zhang Jie's. When Zhang Jie besieged Jixian County, it was similar to our situation now, and Gongsun Zhan was defending the city. In the end, Zhang Jie sent someone to dig a tunnel. Conquer Jixian County.

Xun Youdao: Dig a tunnel, the enemy will easily find out, just put a few large water tanks by the city wall. You can see it.

Cao Angdao: It's useless to find out. It would be better if the enemy army also dug. Zhang Jie's goal was to dig down the city wall. It's not a sneak attack through tunnels.

Zhang Jie first dug the tunnel under the city wall, then hollowed out all the underneath the city wall, and then used a wooden stake to hold it up, and then hollowed out a hundred steps wide, and then at the same time used a cow to pull down the wooden stake, as soon as the stake fell, the city wall collapsed. Cao Ang said.

Wonderful! In this way, the defenders on the walls will also fall along with the walls. At this time, the siege casualties must have been greatly reduced. It's just that Pengcheng is afraid that there will be difficulties in digging tunnels! Xun Yu Dao.

What's the difficulty? Cao Cao asked.

Jixian County is the north of the groundwater table is very deep, generally digging more than ten feet deep will not be permeable. But Pengcheng has abundant rain. I'm afraid that the groundwater table is very shallow. The tunnels are hard to dig! Xun Yu Dao.

Cao Cao thought for a while: Rather than being helpless here. It's better to send someone to dig a tunnel and give it a try, and if we can succeed, we will break through Pengcheng in one fell swoop. If you can't dig it, find a way to do it then. The crowd also felt justified. Anyway, there was no other way for a while.

Cao Hong, Yu Ban, you two quickly send people to dig tunnels. Promise!

Zixiu (Cao Angzi): You go and assist them.

Promise!

Yecheng, Zhang Jie just came back from Luoyang. convened the military division to discuss the meeting, and the rest came except for the Fu Zhu in Youzhou.

Jie has just returned from Luoyang, Luoyang has changed a lot, and the Son of Heaven currently has thousands of soldiers and horses. The main thing is that the Son of Heaven is more mature. Although it is not a great wisdom, it is a lot of small wisdom.

No, the Son of Heaven asked Jie to mediate the war between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Son of Heaven! What is the idea, Jie knows very well, he wants to play balance, hoping that all the people will contain each other. That's how he's safe!

How do we deal with it?

Zhengnan, let's talk about the war situation of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao first! Zhang Jie said.

Cao Cao sent about 100,000 troops. Pengcheng is currently under siege. Both sides suffered casualties, but the losses were not significant. Yuan Shao took the initiative to shrink. Cao Cao couldn't do anything for a while.

Zhang Jie said: Okay, Jie is afraid that Yuan Shao will be arrogant and fight Cao Cao head-on, so that he will be defeated in a battle and the army will be defeated. Now Yuan Shao also learned from Gongsun Zan to be a turtle with a shrunken head. Ha ha. In this way, Cao Cao doesn't want to fight quickly.

In this way, it seems that it is unlikely that Cao Cao wants to take Xuzhou for a while.

Tian Fengdao: Not necessarily! As the saying goes, if you keep it for a long time, you will lose it. Even if Yuan Shao holds on for a while, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on for a long time.

Zhang Jiedao: Also, there is no city in the world that cannot be attacked.

But the Son of Heaven asked us to mediate, do you think we really let them stop or continue?

Li Rudao: They must not be allowed to stop. If the lord sent an envoy to let Cao Cao cease fighting, Cao Cao would definitely not allow it. The war has been fought for so long, costing countless amounts of money and food, and there is no result, and I am definitely unwilling to stop.

If the lord sent troops to suppress the territory, Cao Cao could only retreat, but this would anger Cao Cao. Cheaper Yuan Shao.

If Cao Cao in turn united with Yuan Shao to deal with the lord, it would be more than worth the loss. The lord has also said many times before, Yuan Shao'er is soft-rooted, maybe he will really agree. So the lord can't let them stop.

Zhang Jie nodded. He has also been worried about this, the candidates have no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

Jia Xu said: The lord can let Yuan Shao lose to Cao Cao, but it is better to let him hold Qingzhou. Now the main forces of both sides are in Xuzhou. If Yuan Shao is defeated, he can only retreat to Qingzhou. Cao Cao will definitely take the opportunity to occupy Xuzhou. If the lord does not interfere. Qingzhou is also difficult to protect.

Zhang Jie asked: What if we unite with Yuan Shao to attack Cao Cao? Jia Xu said: Definitely not at the moment. If Yuan Shao is allowed to unite with him after losing Xuzhou, he should agree to form an alliance on the condition of Xuzhou.

Zhang Jie thought for a while and said: What if Yuan Shao dies in Xuzhou? Yuan Shao is arrogant and has regarded Cao Cao as a little brother all his life, and if he loses to Cao Cao this time, he is afraid that he will not be able to wipe his neck for a while.

Tian Fengdao: If that's the case, there is no way, at present, Cao Cao is besieging Pengcheng, as long as Pengcheng is broken, Yuan Shao will flee back to Xiapi. If you can keep Xiapi, it's fine, but if you can't keep it, Xuzhou will be over. Yuan Shao fled either north to Qingzhou or to Guangling. Can Guangling and Jiangdong border. Now Sun Ce is born in the east of the river. If Yuan Shao goes to Guangling, it will be a dead death! In this way, he will return to Qingzhou.

Zhang Jie said: Although Jie has never been to Xiapi, if Jie is allowed to attack Xiapi, Jie will only need to break Xiapi in one day. Ay!

Ay! In addition to Pengcheng, Xuzhou is difficult, and it is in Duyier.

What does the lord mean? Xiapi is the largest city in Xuzhou. How can the height of the city and the depth of the pool be broken in one day? Tian Feng said.

You don't know that Xiapi is the land of the plains, and Yishui and Surabaya are just outside the city. If Yishui and Surabaya are poured into the city, what is the use of the tall city? In fact, this is what Cao Cao did when he attacked Lu Bu in history.
