War is a wonderful thing, sometimes it lasts for a short time, and sometimes it is the opposite, it can be long. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

(When it comes to the largest war in human history, World War II is usually mentioned, but when it comes to the longest war in human history, many people's first reaction is probably the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France, which is not the case.) The longest war in human history was the 335-year war between the British Isles of Scilly and the Dutch Republic. The war began in 1651 and was fought on 17 April 1986 by the Dutch ambassador Rein Huydecoper and the speaker of the British Isles of Scilly Parliament, historian Roy Huydecoper. Duncan signs a peace treaty in the Xilin Islands. The reason was the alliance of the Roundheads with the Netherlands during the Second Civil War in England, as well as the attack on Dutch ships by the Royalists of the British Silin Islands with the British Royal Navy. The war lasted 335 years, making it the longest war in history. However, during this period, not a single shot was fired on both sides, and there were no casualties, but they were always in a state of war, which belonged to the category of 'declaring but not fighting'. ）

At first, Mi Zhen was quite happy when she heard the punishment, there have been many times in the past, and the longest one only lasted about a week, and it was lifted under the persuasion of the second brother and other uncles, and this time I think it is the same.

But after Mi Fang explained, she regretted why she agreed so early.

It's not surprising, although Mi Zhen's personality is different from that of ordinary women, and she is obviously more lively. But after all, she was just a woman, and she didn't know much about war at all, and she didn't know how long a war could last, just like the battle of Xiapi in front of her.

It would be good if Cao Cao could retreat sooner or later, but if it lasted longer...

"Little sister, I'm afraid you're going to stay in the room for at least a few months..."Looking at the dejected Mi Zhen, Mi Fang was distressed and a little gloating.

To be reasonable, many times Mi Fang will also feel a headache by the trouble caused by Mi Zhen, but as his youngest sister, who else will love if he doesn't love him? Even if he really causes any trouble, he can only help bear it, but in his heart, he still hopes to let Mi Zhen learn a lesson.

Mi Zhu's punishment this time was so heavy, Mi Fang was distressed and didn't want her to learn to be more obedient, otherwise if he made trouble again, he would be a little unbearable.

"Second brother, go and help me plead, I don't want to be locked in my room for months!" Mi Zhen's eyes rolled, and she tugged on Mi Fang's sleeve and said coquettishly.

She didn't want to be confined to her room for months—————— or worse, to be sent by her brother to teach her how to be a good lady.

Looking at her little sister, Mi Fang was also a little helpless. "You, in fact, the eldest brother is also for your own good, do you know the situation in the recent period? Cao Jun siege the city very fiercely, Xiapi is in danger, the people in the city are panicked, at this time if you go out of the house to play outside, I'm afraid that my eldest brother and I don't have the heart to be the director, and this time you also made too much trouble, actually ran to the city wall to play when Cao Jun attacked the city, what if something happened? ”

In the past, no matter how big a thing happened to Mi Zhen, Mi Zhu or Mi Fang was angry on her face, but she was actually responsible for the aftermath, because it was all small things, maybe it was embarrassing on the face, but with the energy of the Mi family, it could still be settled, it was harmless, and sometimes the atmosphere on the face, but in the bottom of her heart, she would laugh at the embarrassing little things that Mi Zhen made.

But this incident made the two of them break out in a cold sweat, and now Xiapi City has become a battlefield. Even if she can hold the city for the time being, the security in the city will deteriorate a lot, and at this time, if she lets Mi Zhen run around, I'm afraid it will hurt her.

"But then again..."Seeing Mi Zhen's pitiful appearance, Mi Fang's heart softened in the end. I've been stuck in the room for a few months, and the time is indeed too long, so I'll take the time to talk to my eldest brother very early and make the space more relaxed, otherwise wouldn't it be suffocating? ”

"It's just that you still have to wait, now the eldest brother is angry, this time in the past is equivalent to being sent to the door to be scolded, or wait a few days, wait until the eldest brother's anger is a little less, I am in the past, that will be better..."

Indeed, Mi Zhu is annoyed right now, and even if he wants to intercede, it is not the best time. At this time, if you have to go over to intercede, it is equivalent to sending it to the door to be scolded, how can Mi Fang not know this truth, the best way is to wait for a few days, and wait until Mi Zhu's mood is better.

Mi Zhen also knew this, and in the end she just tugged on Mi Fang's sleeve and shook it pitifully, and didn't say anything more.

"Second master..."There was a call from the entrance of the courtyard, and I saw two burly warriors coming over and saluting Mi Fang respectfully.

"What are you?" Looking at these two warriors, Mi Fang was a little surprised.

The two samurai glanced at each other, and the one standing on the right spoke. "It was the head of the family who called us here, saying that he wanted us to ........ let..." looked at Mi Zhen, who was standing next to Mi Fang and glaring at the two of them, and the rest of the words were speechless no matter what.

The hearts of the two warriors are also bitter, guarding Mi Zhen is not a good thing, who doesn't know that Mi Zhen is the little overlord in Pi City, and he often makes trouble. But she also has two brothers who treat her as a baby, no matter what happened to Mi Zhen, they will end it, if it really hurts Mi Zhen, I am afraid that I will have to come to the door to teach each other a lesson.

This time, Mi Zhu asked them to take care of Mi Zhen, so that she couldn't leave the room for half a step, it seemed quite simple, as long as she was loyal to her duties, but things were not so simple. If they let Mi Zhen escape, there is no doubt that they will definitely be punished by Mi Zhu. But if they are really loyal to their duties, not to mention whether Mi Zhen will settle accounts in the future, if they really touch or hurt Mi Zhen, I am afraid that it will not be long before their corpses will appear in the wilderness.

No way, who told their brothers to live hard?

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

Mi Zhen and Mi Fang couldn't understand the inner collapse of the two, looking at the two people who appeared so soon, Mi Fang said thoughtfully. "It seems that the eldest brother is really angry this time..."

If it weren't for that, how could two samurai be arranged so quickly?

He also recognized these two samurai, who were the two samurai with excellent martial arts among the Mi family's private soldiers, and each of them was similar in martial arts to him. Let them take care of Mi Zhen, as long as they are a little more serious, it is impossible for Mi Zhen to escape from the house again.

"I'll also leave first, you stay at home well, don't make trouble again, and when the eldest brother's anger has passed in two days, I'll go and persuade him..."

Saying this, he tidied up his military uniform a little, and Mi Fang left the courtyard under the salute of the two warriors, leaving Mi Fang alone and indignant.

Facing Mi Zhen like this, the two warriors were also very worried, for fear that this wayward eldest lady would have to go out, in that case, how could they stop it? If you really do it, think about the anger of Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, the two of them shudder—————— as a well-known wealthy family in Xuzhou, the power of the Mi family is definitely not something that ordinary people can imagine, among them there are tens of thousands of servants alone, not to mention those who are attached to the Mi family, which is why the two brothers of the Mi family are still young, Tao Qian still recruited the two to his account and used them for the end.

Fortunately, things did not develop as the two samurai thought, and after glaring at them fiercely, Mi Zhen turned around and returned to the room, followed by two maids, which made the two samurai who were sympathetic to the same illness breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that...

Thinking of the days to come, the two still felt a little painful.

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

Mi Fang did not leave the house immediately after leaving, but first went back to his residence to tidy up, he had just come down from the battlefield, although he was not injured, his body was still dirty. If he hadn't gotten used to it these days, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to stand it a long time ago.

"These days to kill the Cao army, I don't know when I will be able to go back to Yanzhou..."Thinking of the courage of the Cao army in the daytime, Mi Fang shuddered. Especially on the city wall, he once met a very brave general of the Cao army, that person's martial arts are amazing, almost instantaneously killed four or five soldiers who rushed towards him, and then killed almost 20 people in a row, even Mi Fang himself also used all his strength to eat milk, so he fought a draw with this person. This is still the situation that the military general has killed more than 20 people in a row and has lost a lot of strength, Mi Fang can't believe how powerful this person is if he is at his peak.

"It is said that Cao Jun is like a cloud, and it is really not a lie, but I don't know what about that Yan Shao? When will his reinforcements arrive in Xuzhou..."

Thinking so, Mi Fang had already taken off the armor on her body, revealing her sturdy upper body.

Unlike Mi Zhu, Mi Fang is more inclined to martial arts, maybe his martial arts are only at a second-rate level, but he continues to temper every day, and his body is also solid.

Just as he was changing into a new armor with the help of two servants, a subordinate walked in outside, lowered his head and said to Mi Fang. "Second master, there is news from the government office, saying that you are invited to come over quickly."

"Oh? What's the matter? Motioning for someone to help wipe his body, Mi Fang asked without looking back.

"I heard that the reinforcements from Qingzhou are coming..."This is actually still a secret, but the status of the Mi family in Xuzhou is not ordinary, and what is confidential in the eyes of others may not be here.

"Oh?" Mi Fang didn't expect that she had just been talking about the reinforcements from Xuzhou, and they would arrive. "Change my clothes, tell the messenger, and I'll be on my way at once."

"Yes!"

At the same time, after crossing several counties in a row, Yan Shao's soldiers and horses finally arrived near Xiapi.

"Is this Xiapi City, doesn't it look very good..."Looking at Xiapi City from afar, which was emitting thick smoke, Guan Hai said disapprovingly.

I thought that Xiapi City, which is said to be very rich, will be like this, but now it seems that it is just like that, that is, it is at the same level as Linzi, and there is nothing surprising.

"Don't say that, don't look at this Pi looks nothing, in fact, it is very prosperous inside, Tao Gongzu has not been working in vain all these years...", he said and glanced at Cao Jun in the distance. Even these Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, if they don't have some poisonous plans, I'm afraid they may not be able to break through this city, at least not so easily.

For this, whether it is Yan Shao or the strategists around him, they are very confident, maybe Xuzhou's soldiers and horses are not very good at field warfare, but this does not mean that Xuzhou's soldiers and horses themselves are not good, but they do not have generals who are good at fighting to be in charge.

You must know that compared with these soldiers and horses, Zang Ba in the north has performed much better. In the final analysis, except for Zang Ba and others, there are no outstanding generals in Xuzhou.

"But this may not be because there are no outstanding generals in Xuzhou, but they can't stand out in Xuzhou at all..."

Xuzhou is not without outstanding talents, except for Chen Deng or Mi Zhu, Zhuge Liang is a person from Xuzhou. Xu Sheng, Lu Su, etc. were also born in Xuzhou, but in the end they all became famous in other states, the former became famous in Jingzhou, and the latter became famous in Jiangdong.

On the other hand, there are only two people who can really shine in Xuzhou, Chen Deng and Mi Zhu, and these two people also represent the two largest families in Xuzhou.

The longer he lived in this era, the more Yan Shao knew how influential the family was. In many states and counties, even if officials want to govern, it is difficult to move without the acquiescence and help of wealthy families.

Yan Shao can be regarded as taking a lead, he is not only from Beihai, but also a member of the family, and the Beihai family is not very hostile to him. Other places are different, especially those that have not been harmed by the scourge of war, and where the power of the family is still relatively well-maintained.

For example, Xuzhou, Jingzhou or Jiangdong...

On the surface, Tao Qian is the biggest one in Xuzhou, but secretly he also needs to worry about the attitude of the Xuzhou family. Liu Biao has been trapped in Jingzhou all his life, and he has not been affected by the Jingzhou family, and it sounds like a miracle to occupy Jingzhou alone, but how many benefits are promised in it?

As for Koto?

Just think about why Sun Ce went on a killing spree after he arrived in Jiangdong, and after Sun Ce died and Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, how much the Jiangdong family dragged him back, you can see that many things are coming.

It's not that Xuzhou doesn't have any outstanding talents, but Tao Qian, as a representative of the family, simply turns a blind eye, and even if he does, he won't reuse it...

However, defending the city is different, the role of the generals will be relatively weakened when defending the city, and it depends more on the strength of the soldiers and horses, grain and grass, ordnance, the city and the most important determination, the role of the generals will fall a lot, and the previous ones are precisely the strengths of the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou...

If Cao Cao used some poisonous tricks, he would be able to capture this city in an instant, but if he didn't need to...

It's hard to say...

"Anyway, we're here to help this time, remember to be polite when we enter the city..."

After that, Yan Shao took the lead in galloping down Picheng...

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

Yan Shaolai's movement was so big, Cao Cao had already learned about it, and he also understood that blocking it might not be useful. The 5,000 soldiers and horses he brought this time were all cavalry, which can be said to be the elite of the Qingzhou army, while Cao Cao's Yanzhou soldiers and horses seemed to be a lot, but in fact, most of them were infantry troops, and the ordnance was not very sufficient. The biggest reason for winning the well-armed Tao Qian army is the advantage of the generals.

However, this is only relative to the Xuzhou army, and against Yan Shao, this advantage will be weakened a lot...

The cavalry came and went like the wind, even if it was forcibly blocked, it might not be able to stop it, but it would lose a lot of soldiers and horses, and finally weighed it, Cao Cao still chose not to block it, so that Yan Shao could safely approach Xiapi City.

Tao Qian and the others had also already gotten the news, and they had already gone up to the city wall at this time, and when they looked down, they saw thousands of elite cavalry troops coming from Qingzhou, and they were all smiling.

"The Qingzhou Army is here, Xuzhou is saved..."

"Quick, open the city gate quickly, and invite Yan Envoy Jun to come in!"

There was a lot of chirping on the city wall, and everyone no longer had the calm attitude of the past. If the people under his command were like this in the past, Tao Qian would have been angry a long time ago, but now that he himself is like this, how can he still be qualified to talk about others.

Amid the cries of the crowd, the gates of the city were slowly opened. Looking at the lively scene on the city wall, Yan Shao smiled and said to Sun Guan next to him. "Zhongtai, you are responsible for breaking the queen, if the Cao army wants to take advantage of the situation to attack them, you will be responsible for killing them."

"Yes!" Sun Guan hugged his fists.

"As for the others, come with me into the city!"

Seeing the city gate open from a distance, and the Qingzhou army slowly entered the city, Xiahou Yuan, who had been by Cao Cao's side, immediately said. "Meng De, now that the city gate has been opened, and the Qingzhou army is on its way to enter the city, this is a godsend!"

"Not bad!" Xiahoudun next to him also spoke. "Now that the Qingzhou army is entering the city, at this time, if you lead the troops to attack, you will definitely be able to win a big victory, and maybe you can break through the city gate, so won't Picheng be at your fingertips?"

But they all wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to capture the city gate, Xiapi City was too strong, and they also felt a little toothache in the past few days. Now that the gates were open, and the soldiers and horses were so slow to enter the city, it seemed to them that this was a great opportunity.

No matter how elite the Qingzhou soldiers and horses are, they are the most vulnerable in this situation. As long as they can capture the city gates, they can slowly advance into the city with the captured city gates...

When they marched into Xuzhou before, they had many battles with Xuzhou soldiers and horses, and they knew that Xuzhou soldiers and horses were vulnerable. Now the headache is also the solidity of the Xuzhou city, not the elite of the soldiers and horses themselves, as long as the city wall is put aside, they are even confident that they can use 10,000 soldiers and horses to defeat the Xuzhou army of 30,000 or 40,000.

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

I have to say that the idea of the two of them made him very excited by Cao Cao's ears.

These days, in the face of the sturdy and numerous soldiers and horses, Cao Cao also felt a toothache. Now the Qingzhou Army is the time to enter the city, and it is also the weakest time, if you can take advantage of this opportunity to attack it, even if it can't succeed, at least you can solve the trouble of the Qingzhou Army first.

Without the Qingzhou Army, is it still difficult to solve a single Xiapi?

"Ladies and gentlemen, look at it, that Yan Shao is not completely defenseless, and there is a soldier and horse left at the tail, if our army attacks it, I am afraid that this army will be responsible for blocking it. If we are unable to defeat this army in a short time, the defenders on the walls will be able to rain down arrows, and then it may not be of much benefit to our army except to inflict many casualties..."

Seeing that Cao Cao was a little moved, Xun Yu hurriedly stood up and dissuaded.

He can see very clearly that those Qingzhou troops have left a cavalry army in the rear, not completely defenseless, and if they can't take the other party in a short time, they need to face the enemy's arrow rain—————— considering the distance between Cao's army and Xiapi, if you want to take it by surprise, you need to travel lightly.

Cao Jun itself has very few cavalry, can only use ordinary infantry troops, and the opponent is all cavalry, the best choice is the infantry army with spears or spears. If you can capture the city gate, of course, it is the best, if you can't take it, facing the rain of arrows on the city wall, this casualty is a bit too big.

"Why should the military advisor worry too much..."Hearing Xun Yu's worry, Cao Hong smiled beside him. That Yan Shao is also a veteran general who has been fighting for many years, and he has led the army since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, how can he really be defenseless at all, in other words, being on guard now means that this is a good opportunity, if he behaves defenselessly, we will have to be more careful..."

Cao Hong's words also attracted a burst of echo, and even Li Dian and other generals nodded in agreement.

Of course, Cao Cao also saw the danger in this, but...

What he values more is the opportunity that comes within...

Just keep attacking the city with a stuffy head, how long will it take to break through Xiapi City?

But if you can successfully capture the city gate this time, it is equivalent to half of the success, even if you fail in the end, considering the cost of failure and the harvest of success, it is worth it...

Thinking of this, Cao Cao pondered for a while and then said to Xiahou Yuan next to him. "Miaocai, I will have 5,000 soldiers and horses with you later, and you must take down the city gate for me!"

"Yes!" Xiahou Yuan hugged his fists excitedly.

After Xiahou Yuan turned around and left, looking at the city gate that was still entering the soldiers and horses one after another, Cao Cao muttered. "Brother Fuxian, I didn't expect that we would meet again not in a restaurant, nor on the way to crusade against traitors, but on the battlefield..."

Yan Shao, who was entering the city, also seemed to feel something, and when he was about to enter the city gate, he glanced back at Cao Ying behind him, and felt a little subtle in his heart.

Unlike Cao Cao, he had already made this kind of preparation, and even knew that he would face this person with a sword when he first met Cao Cao. So when he was in Luoyang or the Sour Jujube Alliance, he kept a distance from each other very delicately.

Maybe they can be considered friends, but when it comes to relationships, they may not be as close as they seem, so that when they meet on the battlefield in the future, they won't embarrass each other too much...

Now it seems...

"Isn't it useless...", muttering like this, Yan Shao said to the officer next to him. Ordered, speed up the entry into the city, so as not to let Cao Jun get a chance. ”

"Yes, speed up into the city!"

But this kind of thing can't be accelerated at all when it enters the city, this is not a 5,000 infantry army, but a 5,000 cavalry army. Perhaps the speed of the cavalry is much stronger than that of the infantry army in normal times, but the speed of the cavalry army will lag behind the infantry army in such a thing as entering the city.

Not to mention anything else, first of all, the cavalry army has much more area than the infantry army, and they still ride war horses, and the degree of flexibility is not as good as that of the infantry army.

The most important point is that, considering the area occupied by the cavalry, in fact, there are many places where they can't go, unlike those foot soldiers who walk into the city, they can find a courtyard or alley or something to stay in first, and wait until the matter is over.

If you are a cavalry, you need to find a suitable place first, go first, and think about the rest later.

The question is that in ancient cities, how could there be so many places for 5,000 cavalry to stay?

Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, five thousand cavalry is not a small number, and it is not easy to arrange a place where so many cavalry can stay...

It is simply impossible for so many cavalry troops to enter the city in a short time ...

And this is exactly the same as giving others a chance, a chance to attack them...

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

On the city wall, the generals in charge of defending the city looked at the Qingzhou army that was entering the city one after another.

During this time, their pressure was too great, facing the brutal Cao army alone, and it took a huge price every day to repel the Cao army that attacked the city. Maybe it's not much in the short term, but after a long time, not many people can be confident that they can hold this city.

This also made them look forward to the reinforcements that Tao Qian and other generals talked about, and now that the reinforcements are finally here, it is still the rumored Qingzhou Army, which naturally makes them excited.

"You see, it's worthy of the Qingzhou Army, those Cao Jun avoided them far away when they saw them, and they didn't even have the courage to stop it!" Looking at the movement of Cao Jun's camp opposite, a soldier spoke loudly about his discovery.

"What's so strange about this, don't you see, these Qingzhou troops are almost all cavalry, cavalry! With a cavalry army of 5,000, do you know how many cavalry there are in Xuzhou? What's more, this time it is said that Qingzhou Mu personally led the troops, it is a hero with the same name as Cao Cao, and it is not surprising that Cao Cao will be afraid! ”

A soldier next to him said disapprerovingly.

The other soldiers were also chirping, and even the officers, who were usually calm, looked much better, as if the burden that had been pressing on them had finally been loosened.

But just as the people on the city wall were expressing their excitement, one of the soldiers who had been standing on the watchtower, staring at the opposite side, suddenly changed his face, and shouted wildly to the soldiers and generals who defended the city below.

"Cao Jun is out of the camp, Cao Jun is out of the camp!"

Cao Jun's camp, just when the Qingzhou army was slowly entering the city amid the cheers of the Xuzhou army, a group of Cao troops suddenly walked out of the camp, led by the few poor cavalry troops in the Cao army, and the rest were as light as possible, and the number was extremely large.

These soldiers and horses did not pay attention to any righteousness and brightness, and almost as soon as they left the camp, they had already rushed quickly in the direction of the Qingzhou army. At the beginning, the speed was relatively slow, and when the Qingzhou military alert below woke up, they began to speed up their speed—————— no matter what kind of army, there are physical limitations, maybe you can run fast at the beginning, but you will be tired and half dead later.

If you don't want to be a macho man in the first half and a macho in the second half, the best way is to run slowly at the beginning, and then speed up when you are close to the enemy, which can also keep you in a better state to fight, so that you don't have the strength to fight when you just get close to the enemy...

What the soldiers on the walls could see, of course the others on the walls could see.

When they saw thousands of Cao Jun starting to move, Tao Qian and the others, who were originally excited, instantly changed their faces. "Hurry up and let the Qingzhou army below come in! Let the Qingzhou army below come in! ”

It's just five thousand Qingzhou troops, how can they come in in a short period of time, even now it's only half of it. Many Xuzhou generals who were still envious of the Qingzhou Army actually having so many cavalry troops also began to complain about why Yan Shao brought so many cavalry troops at this time.

Knowing that Xiapi is now under siege, and still bringing so many cavalry troops, doesn't it mean giving the opposite side a chance to attack the city?

Some generals have even begun to consider whether to go and ignore the life and death of the Qingzhou army below and just close the city gate?

However, before they could say anything, a young voice next to them had already begun to speak. "Tao Fujun doesn't have to worry so much, I have already arranged soldiers and horses to prepare for this matter, even if Cao Jun really kills it, there will be no problem..."

It was Yan Shao, who had just gone up the city wall, who was talking to speak, and he was accompanied by other generals who came to Xuzhou with him, such as Guan Hai, Zhao Yun and Gan Ning, etc., as for Tai Shici and Huang Zhong, they were left in Qingzhou by Yan Shao—————— if they really brought all the people out, Yan Shaoke needed to think about the safety of Qingzhou.

Perhaps Yuan Shao did not plan to start a war with Yan Shao in the short term, but this was based on the fact that Qingzhou was strong and Yuan Shao could not solve the battle in a short time. If Qingzhou is empty, facing the five counties of Qingzhou that are almost sent to the door, how can Yuan Shao not have a reason not to laugh?

And Tai Shi Ci can fight well, Huang Zhong is also very old, with the two of them here, Yan Shao is quite relieved.

At least even if Yuan Shao really led the troops to attack, Yan Shao believed that with these two people, and with the assistance of Zhou Cang, Wu Anguo and others, he would at least be able to resist Yuan Shao outside Qingzhou!

And he can relax and go to compete with Cao Cao...

Almost as soon as Yan Shao's words fell, he saw that a group of cavalry had been separated from the cavalry army entering the city, and rushed towards the attacking Cao army, the number of this group of cavalry was more than 1,000, and the leader was Sun Guan, who had just been ordered by Yan Shao.
