Wuyuan Castle was surrounded by Cao's legions.

The king of Zuogu in the city was completely panicked.

The battle launched by Cao Jun ended too quickly, and by the time he got the news that he was going to lead his troops to help Liu Bao, the battle was already nearing its end.

Going out of the city again is just to send him to death, King Zuogu Li gritted his teeth, and finally did not give the order to go out of the city.

When the people left Wuyuan, every household brought out the grain.

After searching the entire city, the Huns did not find a single grain.

I was going to set fire to vent my anger, but they couldn't get out of the city, and the Huns had to have a shelter from the wind and rain at night, so the houses and buildings in Wuyuan City were preserved.

At the head of the city, King Zuogu Li looked at Cao Jun outside the city, and his mood was very worried.

The Huns were good at fighting on horseback, and whether they were attacking or defending cities, they were far inferior to the Central Plains soldiers.

Now that Cao Shuo's army is outside the city, facing the defense of the city, King Zuogu Li is really not very sure......

"King Zuo Gu Li." A tribal leader came to him and whispered to him: "The people of the Central Plains have surrounded the city, and there is not even a single grain in the city, and the food that our warriors bring with them will be eaten in a day or two. ”

His face was gloomy, and King Zuo Gu Li said: "Don't rush me, I'm also thinking about it......"

The tribal leader didn't dare to say anything more.

After a moment of silence, King Zuogu Li said, "Send someone out of the city to break through." ”

"Breakout?" The tribal leader said in surprise: "The Central Plains people put up a large array that our cavalry can't break through, how can they break through?" ”

"If you can't break through, you have to break through." King Zuo Gu Li glared at him: "Is it possible to be trapped here like this?" ”

The tribal leader lowered his head, made a Hun salute and said, "I'll go and arrange ......."

"Don't arrange for others." King Zuogu said, "Just you go." ”

Despite his reluctance, the tribal leader had no choice but to take orders to run down the walls.

Not long after, the city gates opened, and two or three thousand Hun cavalry poured out.

Before they left the city, the soldiers of the Cao army, who had been waiting for a long time, opened their longbows and fired countless arrows at them.

Dense arrows flew like raindrops towards the Huns.

The Hun cavalry, who had just left the city and had not had time to charge, fell in pieces in an instant.

The people in front fell, and the people behind were on top, but when they reached the front row, they were immediately shot into hedgehogs by the rain of arrows.

When the gates were closed again, the corpses of the Huns and their horses were piled up.

Pity these Huns, they didn't even see the appearance of Cao Jun, they became dry bones on the battlefield.

At the head of the city, King Zuo Guli, who watched this scene, gasped.

Just when he didn't know what to do, Cao Jun came running a fast horse in the array.

The knight on horseback shook a piece of snow-white silk.

The Huns at the head of the city stretched out their bows and arrows, but the king of Zuogu Li made a gesture for them to put down their longbows.

The Hun warriors put down their bows and arrows, and glared angrily at the Cao army who rushed towards the city gate.

When he arrived at the city gate, the Cao army shouted to the city: "Listen to the city, my son-in-law is kind-hearted, and he can't bear to look at the corpses of the dead in the wilderness, so he specially ordered me to come and ask, do you want our army to help dispose of these corpses?" ”

"Tell your son-in-law, and we'll dispose of the body." King Zuogu shouted.

"Childe said, you can't give the Huns any chance to break through, and if one person goes out of the city, shoot one." Cao Jun shouted: "Either let the corpse rot here, or our army will bury it on its behalf, and how to dispose of it is up to King Zuo Guli to decide." ”

The corpses rotted outside the city gates, and over time they were bound to stench.

King Zuo Gu Li thought for a moment and asked, "How many people will you send to dispose of the corpse?" ”

"Not too much." Cao Jun said: "At most one hundred and ten people, King Zuogu Li can rest assured that it is impossible to storm the city with such a small number of people." ”

Cao Jun's words revealed that the Huns were afraid of the Cao family's army attacking the city, and King Zuogu Li was not angry in his heart, and said to him: "Tell your son-in-law that the body is handed over to him!" But if you dare to play tricks, we will kill as many as you come. ”

"Not yet!" Cao Jun replied, turned his horse and ran towards his own big array.

The sentence he dropped "not yet" made King Zuogu Li stunned for a while.

After a while, King Zuogu Li reacted, Cao Jun meant that Wuyuan City had become a bag, and he would not play tricks with them at all.

Full of chagrin, King Zuogu Li clenched his fists tightly, and he couldn't wait to rush out of the city immediately and kill Cao Jun.

However, the Cao army outside the city was too heavily fortified, and the Huns went out of the city, fearing that they would be killed by random arrows as soon as they showed their heads.

Although he was full of anger, he could only force patience.

It didn't take long for a hundred and ten soldiers who did not carry weapons to come to the Cao army's large array.

When the Cao army arrived at the city gate, they divided the corpses of the Huns and the corpses of the war horses into two piles, and then dug a pit near the city gate.

The deep pit where the bodies were buried was dug far from the city gates, and the arrows of the Huns at the head of the city could not reach it.

Cao Jun did this, and King Zuogu Li could understand it.

No one can guarantee that if they were too close, the Huns at the head of the city would not shoot them with arrows.

The corpse was dragged away, and the Cao army was buried outside the city, and the Huns at the head of the city were full of chagrin.

Seeing that the bodies of their companions could only be buried by enemy troops, each of them felt a deep humiliation.

Cao Jun barracks.

Tian Feng and Jia Xu sat in Cao Shuo's handsome tent.

"Childe asked people to collect the corpses of the Huns, isn't it too delicate?" Tian Feng said: "As long as they are not allowed to leave the city, the corpses are placed there to rot, and the Huns in the city will not be able to stand the smell of corpses." ”

"Yuan Hao only knew one thing, but he didn't expect the other." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "The decay of the corpse will indeed make the Huns in the city unbearable, but we have no intention of giving up the five plains. The people will return to their homes, and when they return, who can stand the smell of corpses? Not to mention the fact that the corpses decompose there, which may well trigger a plague. For the Huns, it was only a loss of 50,000 horses. But for us, not only the army suffered, but even the people who returned to Wuyuan in the future suffered from the plague. Rather than take such a risk, I should be a good person and bury their bodies. ”

"That's what Childe said." Jia Xu asked: "I don't know what the prince plans to do with the right valley king?" ”

"Liu Bao, the king of the right valley, robbed Cai Yong's daughter in his early years." Cao Shuo said: "That's a talented girl, this time I came to the Huns, I came to fight the Huns fearfully, and secondly, to take our talented women from the Central Plains home." ”

Jia Xu and Tian Feng glanced at each other.

The two of them couldn't help but slander in their hearts, it turned out that Gongzi led the troops to the Hetao, and he still had such a layer of selfishness.
