Early the next morning, the news of Cao Pi's army withdrawal was blocked, there was no movement in the barracks, no one dared to move around at will, and now because it was blocked, there was no one left, and the palace was also quiet, in fact, the palace was now in chaos, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were left behind and the officials of the court found that the Son of Heaven and the king of the East China Sea and the important ministers of the court were all gone, and they were all messed up, but because Cao Ren had already deployed two hundred elite soldiers there to guard, Discipline was quickly rectified by the bloody massacre, and all those who entered the palace were not allowed to go out, and the sergeants sent people to the palace for daily food and drink.

In this way, the entire Xiapi City is in order, and it looks no different from before.

In order to confuse Zhao Yun's army outside the city, Cao Ren still led his army to patrol the city defenses, and he seemed more active than before.

However, after only one day, Zhao Yun felt that something was wrong, because the sergeant defending the city actually looked very tired, which was something that had never happened before.

"According to what I said, I haven't launched an offensive in the past few days, and the soldiers defending the city work in two shifts day and night, so they shouldn't be so tired, but now the soldiers at the head of the city look extremely tired, and some can even fall asleep while standing, why does this thing look so weird?"

Zhao Yun's eyes were full of surprise, he thought seriously for a moment, and finally came to a conclusion that made him a little unbelievable, that is, Cao Pi's army may have withdrawn, and this Xiapi City is now almost empty, and the reason why Cao Ren is still here is just to confuse himself.

This conclusion is really shocking, but if you think about it carefully, it is not unreasonable to do so, if you change to Cao Pi, the current Xiapi City is besieged by an army of 50,000 under your command, and the besieged army will increase to 100,000 in a few days. Why not flee decisively?

But despite this, Zhao Yun still had to find enough evidence, which he had to do when he was always cautious.

For evidence, Zhao Yun is actually very easy to find, he only needs to lead the army to launch a full-scale attack, and he can immediately see through the truth and reality, but Zhao Yun can't do this yet, in his opinion, even if Cao Pi escapes this time, he doesn't mean that there is no credit to grab, he can kill Cao Ren, forcibly capture Picheng, pacify the people in the city, and receive the palace and surrendered soldiers, and if he forcibly attacks the city, if Cao Pi does not withdraw, then his attack will immediately encounter stubborn resistance, so that not only his subordinates will suffer losses, It will also reduce morale, and if Cao Pi really retreats, it will also alarm Cao Ren, so that Cao Ren can prepare in advance and take the opportunity to escape, then in this way, his great merit in capturing Cao Ren will be gone.

Although he can't use siege as a temptation, Zhao Yun also has his own methods.

He first looked at the castle from a high hill outside the eastern gate of the castle before dark, and found an enemy soldier with a blue spot on his face, who was impressive because of his special countenance.

The next morning, however, he saw the soldier again on the high hill outside the south gate of the castle.

If it was really a normal patrol of the city, it would definitely have to be changed, since the soldier was guarding the city last night, he should have gone to rest this morning, but he was only transferred to the south gate, which shows that the enemy's strength is seriously insufficient, so he can only rotate day and night patrol the city.

This is obviously to show that the main force in the city has been withdrawn, and only Cao Ren is left bluffing!

"I really didn't expect this Cao Pi to retreat like this, I originally thought that he would be able to hold on for a while", Zhao Yun shook his head and said softly: "It seems that there must be a change on the side of the Wa Kingdom, Cao Pi cut off the idea of waiting for Sima Yi's reinforcements, and the poor Governor of Zhou is ready to fight on the sea, and now he can only wait for a battle." But it made me pick up a big work for nothing. ”

Looking at Cao Ren on the city wall from a distance, Zhao Yun seemed to see a fat sheep, and his heart was filled with endless joy.

Originally, although Zhao Yun was happy about Koji Yi's powerful attack power and superb wisdom, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous in his heart, seeing that the great merit was about to be taken away by the other party, although he was anxious, there was no way to do it, after all, the lord had an explanation, and he asked to be sure to be sure to break the city again, and although Zhao Yun was good at night fighting, he was not good at attacking the city, so he could only wait for the arrival of Lu Yi before considering the siege.

However, now that the main forces of the enemy have been withdrawn, it is estimated that there is not one in ten defenders in the city, which is definitely good news for Zhao Yun, he can capture and kill Cao Ren one step ahead of Lu Yi, and make a great achievement.

"This is really a godsend, I can't waste such an opportunity, if the great achievements of this Eastern Crusade are handed over to Koji Yi, don't say it's me, even the soldiers will never agree."

At this time, Zhao Chuang, the general of Zhao Yun's own army, stepped forward and said to Zhao Yun: "General, you always look at the scenery like this, and the soldiers are already deeply dissatisfied. ”

"Oh? What's the grievance? ”

"What else could it be? Naturally, our army has not made a great contribution until now, according to the news of the spies, General Liyi has broken Langya and recruited Lejin, this great achievement makes the brothers greedy, and at the same time exacerbates the dissatisfaction with the general, everyone secretly found the last general, saying that even if we don't use General Luyi, we can also capture Xiapi City, so, the soldiers have asked for battle, and the last general can't restrain it, according to the last general, the crowd is difficult to disobey, the general might as well obey everyone's ideas, and vigorously fight with the thieves. I believe that this time we will definitely be able to capture Xiapi City and cut off Cao Pi's head. ”

"Hehe, that's what you mean, right?" Zhao Yun glanced at Zhao Chuang and said with a faint smile.

"Hehe, you have seen through it by the general, the last general does have such a meaning, I can't hide it, seeing the meritorious service of the soldiers under the command of General Lu, the last general is also a little red-eyed." Zhao Chuang scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"In that case, then give you a chance, you go back and pass on my orders, immediately assemble the troops, and prepare to attack the city." Zhao Yun looked at Zhao Chuang and said with a faint smile.

"Huh? What the? General, you're not kidding, are you? When Zhao Chuang heard this, he was immediately puzzled, the master of his own family, who had always been strong-willed, would change his mind and order the siege of the city because of his few words?

"No kidding, Ben will receive accurate information, although the current Xiapi City looks no different, but in fact most of the main force has been withdrawn, we need to break the city immediately, and then lead the army to start a pursuit, otherwise, the credit for the hand will be gone." Zhao Yun's eyes looked at the city and said with a serious face.

"Actually, it's true? It's so good that the last general will give the order. Zhao Chuang's face was pleasantly surprised, and he immediately went to the camp to give orders.
