Yecheng was the capital of Cao Wei, and Cao Cao presided over the construction.

However, there are some differences between Yecheng in this time and space and Yecheng in the original historical trajectory.

In the original historical trajectory, there are South Ye City and North Ye City.

Cao Cao was responsible for the construction, mainly Beiye City.

Until the Eastern Wei Dynasty, on the basis of the North Ye City, the South Ye City was built.

And in this time and space, when Cao Cao built it, it was a complete Yecheng that was built, and in terms of scale, it was much larger than the original historical trajectory.

There are ten miles from east to west, and fifteen miles from north to south.

There are a total of seven gates in the outer city, and inevitably three are Gwangyang Gate, Yongyang Gate and Fengyang Gate.

The two on the back are the Guangde Gate and the Stable Gate, and the east and west doors are each the Jianchun Gate and the Jinming Gate.

Now the Dahua soldiers are besieging Yecheng, but they have not attacked for a long time.

Cao Wei's court was in turmoil, and the civil and military officials who remained all understood that the general trend had gone.

If the best thing to do is to surrender with the crowd.

However, now in the entire Yecheng, all those who remain are Cao Cao's henchmen.

Those suspicious teams had already been sent by Cao Cao to other counties to assist in the defense in advance.

Either it was destroyed by Dahua, or it would have been surrendered to Dahua a long time ago.

Before Dahua attacked Yecheng, Cao Cao was able to maintain control of the entire Yecheng.

It is precisely for this reason that those civil and military officials want to secretly open the city gate and let the Dahua army in, which is something that cannot be done at all.

Above the court, there were also officials who tried to persuade Cao Cao to surrender himself.

Of course, their reason was to proceed from the general righteousness and think about the people of the city.

It's a pity that these officials who tried to persuade Cao Cao to surrender died miserably.

Not only was he beheaded, but even the nine clans were killed by Cao Cao.

At this point, there were no more officials who dared to persuade Cao Cao to surrender.

Now, Cao Cao was waiting for the moment when the Dahua army would attack the city gate.

As long as that moment comes, Cao Cao will immediately implement the final strategy.

In fact, in Cao Cao's view, it is very easy for Dahua to break through the city gate.

Obviously, with cannon bombardment, the city gate can be blasted open, and the city wall cannot defend against cannon bombardment.

But Dahua didn't do that, they have been waiting, what are they waiting for?

……

At this time, Lu Bu was also discussing the military situation with several military advisors.

These military advisors did not recommend that the emperor attack Yecheng and then enter Yecheng.

It is clear that now Cao Cao has gone crazy.

If they enter Yecheng, the entire Yecheng will be blown up to ashes.

Changshan County was a good example before, and Cao Cao would definitely do it.

Now that they knew their deployment in advance, why did they attack the city?

Directly besieged, there is no need to attack at all, only need to besiege for a year and a half, and when the food in the city runs out, they will naturally come out and surrender.

Then directly control all the personnel, and the entire Yecheng will be taken down.

The siege war has progressed to this point, in fact, the Great Wei has already existed in name only.

Even, their emperor Lu Bu has no need to continue to stare here.

Several military advisors even suggested that the emperor return to the palace, and leave tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to guard the rest.

It's just that Lu Bu is not ready to adopt this suggestion.

Siege for a year and a half?

Tens of thousands of troops are besieged here, how much supplies do they need to consume?

It's not that they can't afford to consume it, but it's completely unnecessary consumption.

Therefore, Lu Bu still decided to take Yecheng quickly!

Thinking of this, Lu Bu couldn't help but ask thoughtfully: "Fellow military advisors, didn't Cao Cao bury a large amount of gunpowder in Yecheng and was ready to die with us?" ”

"What if we attack with water? Flooded Yecheng directly with big water, then, his explosives will not be of the slightest use! What do you think? ”

There is Zhangshui next to Yecheng, and the water source is not a problem.

And in fact, Yecheng also suffered from the Zhangshui.

It's just that at this point in time, the altitude of Yecheng is higher than that of Yecheng.

As we all know, water flows downward.

Now Yecheng is higher than Zhangshui, how can you flood Yecheng with water?

Do you still use spells to make the water flow to higher places?

Pang Tong couldn't help but say with a toothache: "Your Majesty, however, the location of Yecheng is higher than Zhangshui, how can we bring water up?" ”

Several other military divisions also agreed.

Tapping with water is a wonderful way, yes, but there must be certain conditions, and now there are no such conditions!

At this time, Lu Bu smiled slightly and said: "The matter of water diversion is easy to do, what we need to do now is to surround the entire Yecheng and don't go to the water." ”

Next, Lu Bu ordered the engineer regiment to build an earthen platform around Yecheng, and surrounded Yecheng with soil outside for a week.

After getting the news, Cao Cao and Sima Yi couldn't help but show a suspicious look on their faces.

What the hell is Dahua doing?

Is it to prepare a mound of earth and then enter the city through it?

However, others may use this method to attack the city, but does Dahua need this?

They have cannons, so you can just blast the city gate open with the cannons.

Does it need to be such a hard work?

Isn't this taking off your pants and farting - is it too much?

Besides, if the mound of earth is besieging the city, then the mound will also be piled down the city?

But they didn't, but laid siege to the city a little way from it.

If you want to say that Dahua has no conspiracy, they won't believe it if they are killed.

Dahua's idle eggs hurt, where are you playing with the dirt?

But what is the purpose of their mounds?

They really couldn't figure it out.

After a while, Sima Yi couldn't help but say in shock: "Your Majesty, Weichen thought of it, I'm afraid they don't want to attack with water, right?" If they attack with water, then Yecheng is in danger! ”

Hearing Sima Yi's words, Cao Cao was stunned at first, but soon laughed wildly.

"Haha, haha, Master Sima, you're too whimsical, aren't you? Water attack? The location of Zhangshui is lower than that of Yecheng, how can they bring the water up? This idea of yours is inevitably naïve, right? Ha ha! Ha ha! ”

Hearing Cao Cao's analysis, Sima Yi couldn't help but show embarrassment on his face.

Yes, I do take it for granted.

The location of Zhangshui is obviously lower than that of Yecheng!

How could they bring the water up?

However, having said that, Sima Yi had a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

It seems that Dahua really has a way to bring water up.

Although he knew that this was impossible, Sima Yi just had a feeling that Dahua could do this.

At this time, Dahua is really doing this.
