Yuan Shao listened to Xun Chen's words and suddenly sobered up. That's right, the Black Mountain thief is just a small trouble, Liu Bei and Cao Cao are the big enemies! So he agreed to Xun Chen's suggestion and prepared to send someone to negotiate peace with the Black Mountain thieves. By the way, let's see if we can recruit that Zhang Yan!

Now the bitter lord is gone, and the grain and grass are gone. Not to mention the loss of troops on this trip, the key is that he didn't catch anything, which made Yuan Shao very angry! At this time, he received a letter from Guo Tu, which said: After Liu Bei transferred Guan Yu, he sent someone to replace Guan Yu to guard the lord's side. Now that I have inquired clearly, the name of the person who came is Jia Xu Ziwenhe. The killing of the bitter lord and the seizure of food by the Montenegrin army should all be from this person's handiwork.

Yuan Shao finally tore the silk letter to shreds after reading it, and roared angrily at the moment: "Jia Xu Pifu swears to kill you!" ”

Jia Xu, who was far away in Nanpi City, suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, and muttered, "It seems that someone is worried about me." No, I'm going to have to ask Shi Ah to send me a few people from the Darksword Department to guard me!" ”

Liu Bei also learned about Jia Xu's operations after the fact. When he knew it, he couldn't help but sigh, the little military master Han Fei really knew no equal, if he didn't know how long it would be before he knew how long he would know that Jia Xu had such a talent! This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Besides, after Cao's army occupied Runan, they rested for five days, and then the army marched to Shouchun. Two days later, the army came to the city of Yingshang. At this time, the banner of Ying Shangcheng was fluttering, and Yuan Shu had been waiting for the army here for a long time!

Cao Cao set up camp thirty miles from the city, and then beat the drums and gathered generals to discuss how to attack the city. After everyone came, Cao Cao looked at the people in the underground: "After the Yingshang City in front of you, Shouchun City is no longer in danger to defend!" Do you have a way to break the city? ”

Before the strategists could speak, Xiahou was the first to speak. He stood up and saluted Cao Cao and his entourage: "Lord, please give a certain 10,000 horses, and a certain family will definitely be able to take this city!" ”

Cao Cao was noncommittal when he heard this, and motioned with his hand for him to sit back first. Xiahoudun was about to speak, but suddenly saw Cao Cao glaring at him, and immediately shut up and sat back in his place.

At this time, Chen Jiao opened his mouth and said: "My lord, what General Xiahou said is not unreasonable, and now if you want to fight quickly, the only way to attack the city is to attack the city. But there is a saying about how to attack! ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao was interested when he heard this, nodded at Chen Jiao and said, "Ji Bi has a clever plan, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

"This ......" Chen Jiao looked at Liu Bi and Gong Du who were sitting at the end, and then gritted his teeth and said: "The lord has captured a lot of soldiers in Runan, most of these soldiers are infantry and lack training, which is useless for a big battle!" If you don't drive it to attack the city, the lord can reward his forgers and severely punish those who escape, so that he can forcibly attack the city, and he can refine the soldiers to kill two birds with one stone! ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bi and Gong who were sitting at the end of the day changed their faces. The heart speaks: "Poison! It's so poisonous! It sounds good, it's not that we want our people to go up to die, if only one tenth of those who go up like this can survive! "But both of them are new people, and they have no foundation here, although they are annoyed, they can't do anything! At this time, the two of them miss the days of freedom in the past, and they are afraid that they will never be able to go back!

Sure enough, after Cao Cao heard it, he immediately applauded! immediately agreed to this plan, saying that it was killing two birds with one stone, and in Cao Cao's opinion, there were three eagles and four eagles. These newly surrendered soldiers are not strong enough to consume food and grass, Cao Cao has been thinking about what to do? Well, at the beginning of the siege, it would be nice to be able to come back a tenth! As soon as this person loses food and grass, he will naturally consume less!

Moreover, these soldiers were all under the command of Liu Bi and Gong Du, and Cao Cao was very suspicious of their loyalty. This is an opportunity to try out the two of them and see if they are genuine!

Cao Cao had already decided, and no one else had any objections. So the army rested for a day. The siege began early the next morning! The defender of the city was Liu Xun, the general of Yuan Shu, who had been estranged from Liu Xun a lot since the last defeat in Xuzhou, which made Liu Xun very hurt.

This time he came to defend the city, and Liu Xun also made a lot of effort. Not only were the city walls heightened and strengthened by him, but the soldiers at the head of the city were also veterans who had been personally selected by him! Every day, Zhang Xun has to come to the city in person, and the deputy general Han Xian was arranged by him on the city tower, and he hardly goes down to the city for twelve hours a day!

After learning that Runan was occupied by Cao Cao, Zhang Xun immediately asked Yuan Shu for help, and just as Qiao Rui was waiting for someone to retreat. So Yuan Shu sent Lei Bo and Le to this side, and they are expected to arrive today! In other words, as long as you hold today, reinforcements will arrive before evening.

Early in the morning, Zhang Xun rushed to the top of the city with Han Xian. They didn't stand long before they saw 30,000 infantry rushing out of Cao's army on the opposite side, carrying a ladder to Yingshang City under the encouragement of the drums. "And the siege begins?" Although Liu Xun was surprised, he still responded quickly, and the archers were ready to shoot at any time!

Seeing that the army in front of him had reached the edge of the moat, Zhang Xun shouted: "Shoot!" Suddenly, ten thousand arrows were fired, and the moat was instantly full of dead bodies. But today, Cao Jun seemed to have taken medicine, and they were not afraid of death, braving the rain of arrows and leaning on the city wall one by one.

Cao Cao, who was watching the battle from behind, shouted at the moment: "Okay! The generals also applauded in unison. Zhang Xun and Han Xian personally led the team at the head of the city and launched an attack on Cao Jun's ladder. The two sides were deadlocked for half an hour, and not a single Cao soldier was put on the city.

At this time, Xiahoudun asked for an order again: "Lord, please give me 10,000 horses, and I can go and capture this city!" This time, Cao Cao did not stop him, but happily gave him 10,000 horses.

Xiahoudun was overjoyed and rushed to Yingshang City with 10,000 horses. At this time, the soldiers on the head of the city have been changed in two batches, although the Cao army suffered huge casualties, but they still kept attacking the city, resulting in many casualties among the soldiers at the head of the city.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Cao Jun's offensive had no intention of weakening at all! If it goes on like this, hell knows how long it will last. Just when Liu Xun was depressed, he suddenly saw another group of men and horses rushing out of Cao's army.

"Not good! Cao Jun has sent a new force again! Liu Xun shouted, turned around and shouted at Han Xian: "Quickly let all the reserves go up!" Cao Jun is going to die this time! ”

Han Xian responded, and immediately issued an order to the city, and in a short time, a team of soldiers rushed to the city. These 5,000 people are the reserves left by Liu Xun in advance, which are used in case of emergencies. At this moment, he couldn't take care of it, but Liu Xun still underestimated the combat power of Cao Cao's regular army.

Xiahoudun led 10,000 Cao troops, and felt that the soldiers of the city were holding shields and squeezed onto the city. Yuan Shujun, driven by Liu Xun, exerted his strength to kill Cao's army again. At this moment, Xiahoudun came up!

The second watch, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a collection, ask for a reward, ask for a recommendation. Thank you for your strong support, I will definitely work harder!
