Cao Jun, who was in charge of persuasion, had long lost patience with the rioting civilians.

After receiving Cao Shuo's order, they symbolically went to persuade again.

However, those families simply did not eat oil and salt, and refused to leave the camp.

With the order, Cao Jun, who had settled the civilians, no longer had any scruples, and stepped forward one after another when persuasion failed, and threw almost everyone and their things outside the camp.

Other civilians were gathered, but the few families who had been thrown outside the barracks were not allowed to approach.

They tried to re-enter the camp several times, but were stopped by Cao Jun.

"We're willing to leave, let's go back......" A civilian who had been thrown out of the camp pleaded with Cao Jun who stopped them.

Cao Jun had a cold face and didn't pay attention to his request at all.

They refused to leave the camp because they feared that they would go hungry on the way to another location.

Staying in the camp, although there is still not enough to eat every day, after all, there will be something to eat.

If you run out of food halfway, you will have to die on the road......

They obviously didn't expect that when they refused to leave the camp, Cao Jun did not get used to them, but simply threw them out after several attempts to persuade them to no avail.

On top of that, they were even denied the right to move with the team.

Civilians who packed their bags lined up in a long line under the command of Cao Jun.

There were also several wagons full of food in the procession.

The grain on the wagons was their rations along the way.

The assembled group of civilians left the camp under the escort of a group of Cao troops, and some of them turned to look at those who had been thrown outside the camp.

Cao Jun never allowed those men to return to the camp, let alone allow them to catch up with the group.

As the procession faded away, those who had been thrown out of the camp had to leave in frustration.

Zhu Ao, who came to the tent again, reported everything that happened to Cao Shuo.

He asked Cao Shuo, "Childe, since those people are willing to leave, why do you have to make it difficult?" Just let them follow the team. ”

Looking away from the map on the table, Cao Shuo looked at Zhu Ao and asked, "Do you think I should give them a chance?" ”

"Exactly." Zhu Ao said: "I was there at the time, and those people obviously regretted it. ”

"Regret is because they see that the benefits are gone, and others have the benefits." Cao Shuo said: "If you forgive them easily, they will be even more arrogant in the future." I know you're well-intentioned, but not everyone in the world deserves our kindness. Some people you don't let them suffer big losses, they never know that they have to keep some bottom lines to be a human being. ”

"I understand what Childe said." What Cao Shuo said made Zhu Ao unable to refute, he bowed down and withdrew from the tent.

Not long after Zhu Ao left, Guo Jia came to the Shuai tent.

Before he entered the account, he asked Cao Shuo: "The people have been sent away, is Gongzi planning to attack the city?" ”

"Xiangping has plenty of grain and grass, of course it has to be attacked." Cao Shuo said: "I plan to break through this city as soon as possible, and the construction of catapults is time-consuming and laborious, which is obviously not suitable. ”

"What are Childe's plans?" Guo Jia asked.

"Earlier, I arranged for some fire dances to enter Xiangping City." Cao Shuo said: "They have long found out where Gongsun Yuan stacked the grain and grass. ”

"Could it be that Cheng Gongzi wants to burn grain and grass?" Guo Jia asked.

"I want to know what method Gongsun Yuan will use to defend Xiangping without military rations." Cao Shuo grinned and said, "He is waiting for our army to run out of food, but I want him to taste the taste of running out of food first." ”

"Gongsun Yuan probably never dreamed that his military rations would be burned by Huo Wu." Guo Jia asked, "When does Childe plan to do it?" ”

"I've been studying the terrain of Xiangping for the past two days." Looking down at the map on the table, Cao Shuo said: "The terrain of Xiangping is a little complicated, there is a mountain road behind the city, even if our army breaks through the city, Gongsun Yuan can escape from that path, I plan to arrange a group of men and horses to ambush there in advance, and never let Gongsun Yuan go!" ”

"Who is Childe going to let go?" Guo Jia asked again.

"I plan to let General Lu attack the city and leave the task of intercepting Gongsun Yuan to Shu Zhi." Cao Shuo asked Guo Jia, "Does Feng Xiao think it is appropriate?" ”

"General Lu is brave, and Uncle Chen is very fine." Guo Jia said: "Childe's arrangement is just right!" ”

"Since Feng Xiao thinks it's safe, I'll arrange it." Cao Shuo shouted outside the tent: "Someone! ”

Deng Zhan lifted the curtain and walked in.

He asked Cao Shuo, "Dare to ask Gongzi what he commands?" ”

"Invite General Chen, and say that I have something important to arrange for him to do." Cao Shuo commanded.

Deng Zhan left, and after a while, he led Chen to hurry.

Seeing Cao Shuo, Chen Zhi asked, "Is there anything important for Gongzi to arrange for me to do?" ”

"Did you know that there is a hill behind Xiangping City?" Cao Shuo asked him.

Chen Zhi thought for a while and said: "It seems that there is one connected to the city, I don't know what's wrong there?" ”

"That hill connects the city, and there is a city gate in Xiangping that is open on the mountain road." Cao Shuo said: "It is very unfavorable to launch a large army attack from there, but if the people in the city want to escape through that gate, it is very easy. ”

"What does Gongzi mean that once the city is broken, Gongsun Yuan will flee from there?" Chen Zhi asked.

"Exactly." Cao Shuo said: "You take five hundred people to the mountain road in advance to ambush, if Gongsun Yuanzhen escapes from there, whether he lives or dies, he must be left behind." ”

"I see!" Chen Zhi stepped back in response.

After he left, Guo Jia said: "Gongzi is so arranged, Gongsun Yuan can't escape from Xiangping even if he puts on his wings." ”

"Get rid of the thieves." Cao Shuo said: "If Gongsun Yuan hadn't been an enemy of our army, maybe I would have left him a way to live when he was young." But he just wants to be my enemy, and he still makes such a decisive strong wall clearing. If a character like this is kept, it will be a scourge in the future, and how can I let him live. ”

Cao Shuo stood up and said to Guo Jia: "It's time to send a message to the fire dances in the city, so that they can burn Gongsun Yuan's granary." ”

followed Cao Shuo out of the tent, and Guo Jia accompanied him to the edge of the barracks.

Looking at Xiangping City, Cao Shuo ordered to the side: "Order the archers to launch rockets at the head of the city, you don't need to shoot, just create an overwhelming momentum." ”

The order was given, and thousands of Cao archers ran out of the camp.

They lined up in a neat formation, stretched out their longbows and aimed at Xiangping City.

At the head of the city, Gongsun Yuan saw this scene and muttered with surprise on his face: "What is Cao Zirong going to do?" Could it be that you just want archers."

"No matter what he does, there will be nothing wrong with our army's response." Lun replied straightly, and ordered to the side: "Pass the order, the bow and arrows are wound, and the enemy will be shot as soon as they approach!" ”
