The situation was out of control, so that Cao Pi had completely lost his fighting spirit at this time, and the remnants of Yuan Shu suddenly came to the north of the city, so that Shouchun City was already embattled.

The already stretched defenses had to be spread even further.

Hua Wenxuan also looked at Guo Jia with a sad face, "Feng Xiaogong, do you have a countermeasure?" ”

Guo Jia looked at Cao Pi, "For today's plan, while they have not yet completed the siege, abandoning the city to the east and retreating in the direction of Guangling is the only feasible way!" ”

Cao Pi silently leaned on the edge of the battlements with his arms propped up, Li Dian was still directing the soldiers to repel the enemy's attacks over and over again, and the arrows fired from the city were nailed to the city gate tower and clanged.

The wound on his left shoulder made a layer of sweat rise on Hua Wenxuan's forehead, this Jia Xu set up this set of serial schemes, it was really powerful, and it really felt like inviting you into the urn.

Cao Pi was silent for a long time and stood up, "If you flee east, this southern expedition will be a failure, and I will no longer have a foothold in the Cao family." Cao Pi's face looked slightly desolate, "I, Cao Zihuan, don't be the greedy person who is afraid of death, if you have the heart to go east, please go to the east, and my Cao Pi's reputation will be honored and disgraced with this Shouchun City!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but be moved, and even Li Dian, who was bending his bow and shooting arrows on the side, stopped the movements in his hands.

Guo Jia silently lowered his head, stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "Feng Xiao and go to the market, conquer everything that can be warned, and at the same time forcibly recruit men over the same age as Zihuan Gongzi in Shouchun City to serve as a rear team." ”

After that, Guo Jia silently walked down the city wall with the servants.

Gan Ning looked at Hua Wenxuan, Hua Wenxuan sat on the ground, and gently stroked his left shoulder, "If it weren't for Zihuan Gongzi, I am afraid that I would be sent to Prime Minister Cao Cheng by Xun Yu when I was in Xu Du to accompany the funeral. Hua Wenxuan glanced at Gan Ning, who smiled and nodded.

Cao Pi showed a hint of a smile, he pulled out the sword in his hand, climbed the battlement, raised his arms and shouted: "I'm Cao Zihuan!" Swear to live and die with Shouchun! ”

The sky gradually darkened, and Li Tong and Huang Zu finally withdrew their troops. Because they were afraid that they would sneak attack at night, Cao Pi, Hua Wenxuan and others stayed on this city tower, and Xiao Qiao took advantage of the bright lights to take the women and children in the city to the city wall to send dry food to the guards.

Xiao Qiao carried the basket and walked into the city gate tower, and Cao Pi, Hua Wenxuan and others hurriedly stood up to greet them.

Hua Wenxuan clearly saw a trace of admiration in Da Qiao's eyes, and even blushed when he handed Cao Pi dry food.

There were countless wounded soldiers on the city gate, and the moaning sound from outside made Cao Pi unable to mention the slightest love between men and women at this time, and responded to Da Qiao's shyness with a cold face.

Hua Wenxuan saw it in his eyes, and there was a trace of sourness in his heart, and he missed He Yan in Sun Ce's army more and more, and he didn't know what Sun Ce was thinking now?

Everyone was silently chewing dry food, and Cao Pi came to Hua Wenxuan's side and silently glanced outward.

Hua Wenxuan understood and followed Cao Pi to the gatehouse.

In the early summer night sky, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the campfires full of camps are lit in the camp of Li Tong and Huang Zu in the distance.

Hua Wenxuan came to Cao Pi's side, and the faint moonlight shone on Cao Pi's still immature face, causing a burst of sadness.

Cao Pi looked at the military camp in the distance and asked in a low voice: "Gongzi Wenxuan thinks that if our army sticks to Shouchun, how will it end?" ”

"Feng Xiaogong said that war is not good!" Hua Wenxuan turned his face away and looked at the people who were still resting in the gatehouse, "Relying on Shouchun Jiancheng alone, if there is no foreign aid, I am afraid that it will not last for a few days, the Guangling soldiers are here, even if they are starry and nightly, it will take three or five days, I am afraid of ........"

Cao Pi's face became more and more solemn, and he sighed softly, "Zi Jian and I are brothers, but I was pushed to the front of the stage to fight, if I ask Uncle Yuan Rang for help at this time, I am afraid that there will be no place for me to stand in the Cao family in the future!" ”

Hua Wenxuan pondered for a moment, "Actually, there is another way, but ......" Hua Wenxuan knew that Cao Pi's character was a model of arrogance and conceit, but when the words came to his lips, he wanted to stop talking.

Cao Pi's face turned to Hua Wenxuan's side, "Brother Wenxuan, don't be embarrassed, but it's okay to talk about it!" ”

"In fact, the closest to Shouchun at this time is Sun Ce of Hefei, if you can say that you can come to help, maybe you can still fight!" Hua Wenxuan tentatively said what he thought in his heart, asking for help from his clan relatives, Cao Pi looked forward and backward, this asked for help from foreign domains, I really don't know what Cao Pi's mood was at this time.

Cao Pi pursed his lips, and his deep gaze was even darker and brighter in the night.

After pondering for a long time, Cao Pi asked: "How much do you have to persuade him to come to help?" ”

"Wen Xuan is not completely sure, but the Sun family and Huang Zu have a feud, maybe they can take advantage of it!" A hint of excitement flashed in Hua Wenxuan's eyes, "Sun Ce's father, Sun Jian, was ambushed and shot by Huang Zu, Sun Ce has been dormant under Yuan Shu for a long time, and at this moment, he is determined to Jiangdong, maybe he can use this old thing to persuade him to help!" Hua Wenxuan turned his face to look at Cao Pi, "But! Sun Ce is unruly and thinks highly of himself, and Wen Xuan alone may not be enough to win the trust of others! ”

Cao Pi's eagle eyes stared at Hua Wenxuan tightly, and his heart seemed to be full of contradictions and entanglements.

He looked up at the night sky, and in the empty black hole, a crescent moon hung alone in the southern sky, and he breathed a soft sigh of relief.

"That's it," Cao Pi lowered his head highly, "Han Xinshang has been humiliated by his crotch, and I will go to see Sun Ce with you!" ”

As soon as the two turned around, they saw that Guo Jia had stood at the entrance of the gatehouse at some point, Guo Jia bowed deeply, "Zihuan Gongzi, please rest assured, Fengxiao and the generals will do their best to hold on to Shouchun, if the prince does not arrive and the city is broken, Fengxiao is willing to die to compensate!" ”

Cao Pi nodded heavily, he stepped forward to help Guo Jia, his eyes seemed to be shining, and Guo Jia's cheeks could be seen to be red in the dark night.

Cao Pi and Hua Wenxuan went to Hefei to see Sun Ce in the starry night, Cao Pi was worried about Hua Wenxuan's shoulder injury, and insisted on asking Da Qiao to accompany him, Hua Wenxuan couldn't help but be a little worried, although when he saw Sun Ce before, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu didn't know about the marriage, but Qiao Gong clearly said that the two daughters had promised someone, and this Da Qiao should have been Sun Ce's wife. However, time was pressing, and Hua Wenxuan couldn't argue with the stubborn Cao Pi for too long.

However, when Da Qiao heard that he was walking with Cao Pi, he hurriedly packed up his clothes and medicine box, and he didn't care about being reserved, so he rode a batch of white horses and followed.

Jia Xu adhered to the principle that the siege of the city must be lacking, surrounded the three gates of Shouchun, the north, the south and the west, and only put the east gate, which was to force Cao Pi to abandon the city, after all, the fortified city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it is a field battle, Jia Xu mobilized nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses to annihilate Cao Pi, which is less than 20,000 people, is as easy as blowing ash.

Shouchun to Hefei, not far apart, when arriving at Sun Ce's military camp, the sky was already bright.

The name was reported in the health center, and the guards who had known it for a long time reported to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu led everyone to Sun Ce's big tent, and at the same time instructed his attendants to invite He Yan.

Sun Ce seemed to wake up from a big dream, and was rinsing his mouth in the big tent, when he looked up and saw Cao Pi and Hua Wenxuan coming in, he didn't react much, and when Da Qiao came in, Sun Ce seemed to be immobilized, and he was stunned.

As soon as Zhou Yu saw that Sun Ce had hysteria again, he walked up slightly embarrassed, and touched Sun Ce, who was still staring at Da Qiao, with his foot.

Sun Ce hurriedly cleaned up his expression, took off the shelf, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Zihuan Gongzi has worked hard all the way, please take a seat!" ”

Cao Pi had already seen Sun Ce's complexion, but his face was not good at showing anything, and silently led Hua Wenxuan and Da Qiao to sit on one side.

Everyone sat down, Zhou Yu looked at Da Qiao, who was sitting beside Hua Wenxuan, and couldn't help but secretly admire, Hua Wenxuan saw that this form was really as he expected, and it was inevitable that there would be extraneous branches, Hua Wenxuan first arched his hand and said: "Please also ask Brother Bo Fu to bear with me, Zihuan Gongzi and I came uninvited without saying hello first, I don't know if my friend Shi Tao has explained the cause of General Ding Feng's death to the two?" ”

Zhou Yu saw that Sun Ce was still flattering, and coughed lightly twice, "Shi Guangyuan has indeed been here, and he has also informed Brother Wenxuan of what he said. ”

"That's good," Hua Wenxuan was a little relieved in his heart, someone came to fight the front station, and it saved a lot of trouble, "Prince Zihuan and I came here this time, but it was for a matter related to the future of the Sun family!" ”

"What?" When Sun Ce heard this, he seemed to be immediately pulled back to reality.

Hua Wenxuan smiled faintly, "Now Brother Bo Fu's father-killing enemy, Huang Zu, is close at hand, and he has been restrained by Prince Zihuan under Jiancheng Shouchun, and General Sun Jian's great revenge will be avenged in a few days!" ”

The corners of Sun Ce's mouth crooked, and he sneered: "Huang Zu Xiao'er, sooner or later, it will be my Sun Ce's subordinate prisoner, and how many days will I let him go?" ”

Hua Wenxuan's heart couldn't help but tighten, although he had already prepared for Sun Cehui to shirk this trip, he still felt helpless when the matter came to an end.

Cao Pi smiled slightly, "General Sun's prestige was talked about a lot when my father was alive. Cao Pi pinched a tangerine on the case and peeled it slowly, "Wentai Gong has the world in mind and is broad-minded, when Dong Zhuo was in chaos, he gathered righteousness in sour dates, and was mighty in the tiger prison, and his fierce generals were like clouds, and tens of thousands of people with armor were famous heroes in the world!" Cao Pi peeled the tangerine, but he didn't eat himself, glanced at Hua Wenxuan, who was inconvenient for his hands and feet, and threw it away to Da Qiao at the far end.

Da Qiao took it with a shy face, and his face was full of infinite spring.

Cao Pi laughed even more, stood up, and paced in front of the desk, "It's a pity! The world is in turmoil, the emperor's prestige is declining, it is the time to make contributions to the world and become famous, he died at the hands of the mere pawn Jiangxia Huangzu, and his prestige was discredited, and your Sun family had to succumb to the command of the puppet emperor Yuan Shu and suffered a lot of white eyes! ”

Sun Ce stood up suddenly, but his tone was no longer good, "Zihuan Gongzi is young, is it difficult to come here to give Bo Fu these old things?" ”

Cao Pi glanced at Sun Ce, who was already slightly angry, with contempt, and said with a pleasant face: "Zihuan is here, of course, to invite General Sun Ce to march to Shouchun, and General Sun can avenge the killing of his father!" Two! Cao Pi looked at Sun Ce with a serious face, and slowly paced forward, "Er, help me relieve the siege of Shouchun!" ”

Sun Ce snorted coldly, turned his face away, and ignored Cao Pi.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly: "Lamb, always a lamb, kill today, kill tomorrow, sooner or later, it will be a delicacy for me." Zhou Yu glanced at Hua Wenxuan with a slightly sly look, "It's the siege of Zihuan's Shouchun, but it's a matter of life and death, right?" ”

There were already green tendons on Cao Pi's forehead, and with his arrogant temperament, Hua Wenxuan knew that he was restrained.

Hua Wenxuan also stood up and muttered, "What is the situation of the siege of Shouchun, presumably the two of you still don't know everything, Zihuan Gongzi and Wenxuan can still ride here alone, and there is also a female stream accompanied by Miss Da Qiao, Brother Bo Fu and Brother Gongjin should know that if we want to abandon the city and flee, it will be easy!" ”

Hua Wenxuan slowly walked to Cao Pi's side, looked at Sun Ce, and said slowly: "If we give up Shouchun, then Brother Bofu will be neighbors with the enemy who killed his father." If you don't attack, the world will laugh, and if you attack it, you will be trapped under the fortified city for a long time. Hua Wenxuan turned to Zhou Yu, "In order to be refreshed for a while, putting the lives of thousands of soldiers in child's play, I'm afraid it wasn't Zhou Lang of Zhiguan Jiangnan, right?" ”

A smile appeared on Zhou Yu's face, but he didn't know if he hit what he thought in his heart, or was amused by the sentence "Zhiguan Jiangnan".

The anger on Sun Ce's face gradually cooled down, he glanced at Zhou Yu, sneered and sat down.

At this time, He Yan walked in from outside the tent, and when he saw Hua Wenxuan, an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face, but he was afraid that others would see through it, so he hurriedly quipped: "Brother Zihuan, you finally thought that there is still my younger brother here?" ”

When Hua Wenxuan saw He Yan so spiritual, he also smiled, and quickly got up and gave up his seat, letting He Yan sit in his original position, and walked silently to Da Qiao's side.

He Yan glanced at Hua Wenxuan's actions coldly, and it was not good to make a noise in front of everyone, so he took advantage of the time when the two of them were rubbing shoulders, and pinched Hua Wenxuan's waist fiercely, Hua Wenxuan's painful cold sweat suddenly broke out, and he couldn't help but snort secretly.

Da Qiao silently caught a glimpse of Fang Cai's scene, and couldn't help but be happy.

When Hua Wenxuan sat beside him, he pretended to be concerned and asked, "Gongzi Wenxuan was covered in cold sweat, but his shoulder injury hurt again?" The little girl will change the medicine for her son! "Then I'm going to get the medicine basket.

Hua Wenxuan and He Yan's faces changed color in an instant, Hua Wenxuan hurriedly waved his hand and said in a low voice: "It's okay, it's okay, don't bother the girl!" When he turned around, he saw that He Yan's eyes seemed to be bursting with fire, and he secretly complained in his heart.

The small movements of the three of them did not meet the eyes of Sun Ce and Cao Pi, and the two silently picked up the teacup and were speechless for a while.

At this time, a woman came in outside the tent, well-behaved and exquisite, about the same age as He Yan, with clear eyebrows and beautiful manners, but she was dressed in a military uniform, with a Jiangnan short bow on her waist, and as soon as she came in, she came straight to He Yan and sat on the ground.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile and looked at the increasingly crowded seats opposite and the two empty seats on his side.

Sun Ce also smiled and shouted: "Ren'er is rude, I am discussing a big matter with the son of the Cao family!" ”

Ren'er? Why does it feel familiar? Who is this?
