After all, Yuan Shaojun also conquered the armies of Wuhuan, Xianbei, Gongsun Zhan, and Zhang Yan of Montenegro in the northern land and gradually grew stronger, plus Yuan Shao had the background of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, and the equipment for the army was also good.

Before Yuan Shao's account, there was a special crossbow arrow array, and at the beginning, Yuan Shao's general Ju Yi was a strong crossbow with a thousand zhang, and the battle at the boundary bridge made Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yi annihilate from the whole army.

Now, although Ju Yi has been convicted and killed by Yuan Shao because of his high merits, the Xiandeng camp left by Ju Yi is still retained by Yuan Shao, and at the same time, there are still a lot of stocks of sharp weapons and crossbows in Yuan Shao's army to deal with cavalry.

Therefore, the main force of Yuan Shaojun, who was so heavily armed, faced the cavalry of the Southern Huns, naturally it was like a regular military and police force encountering gangsters, and it was easy for the Southern Huns to know why the flowers were so red.

In this battle, the cavalry of the Southern Huns led by the left and right kings of the Southern Xiongnu were killed and wounded by Yuan Shaojun, and the remaining more than 20,000 Southern Huns also scattered and fled.

But in addition to some of these fleeing Southern Huns who fled directly back to Bingzhou, more of them were scattered in the land of Zhao and Julu in Yizhou like wanderers, or like psoriasis, which made Yuan Shao a little annoyed that he couldn't clean up.

At the same time, the cavalry of the Tiger Wing Battalion led by Zhang Xiu and Zhang Liao took advantage of the opportunity of Yuan Shao's main force to deal with the cavalry of the Southern Huns, and took the opportunity to kill from Changshan County to Zhongshan Kingdom, and almost made Yuan Shao's local states and counties completely out of control along the way.

Although Zhang Xiu and Zhang Liao's Huyi battalion cavalry did not burn, kill, raid and plunder locally, what they did was more military than that of the Southern Huns.

They attacked the county seat all the way, and every time they captured a city, they would completely destroy the armament, grain and official documents stored in the city, and at the same time, they would also kill some grassroots officials such as Yuan Shao's county orders and officials, so that these prefectures and counties suddenly fell into a state of no one to manage.

Even if Yuan Shao wants to send people to reorganize, he may not be able to have enough manpower, and even if he has enough manpower, it will take a lot of time to completely restore control over the local area.

In addition, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Liao adopted the means of avoiding the real and attacking the false, avoiding the encirclement and suppression of Yuan Shao's army and the local counties with strong armaments, so that Yuan Shao could not find the opportunity to encircle them.

So when Cao Cao asked Yuan Shao for help, Yuan Shao was also having a headache about the chaos in his hinterland.

Yuan Shao naturally couldn't let go of the affairs of his family, in order to deal with those scattered Southern Huns, he needed to arrange manpower to encircle and suppress them in various counties and townships, and in order to deal with Zhang Xiu and Zhang Liao, the cavalry troops of the Zhu Wei Army, Yuan Shao needed to arrange the army to try to encircle them, but all this was not so easy to solve.

At the same time, there was also information from Bohai County, saying that an army of unknown origin had come from the sea to attack the place, and even threatened the land of Fuyang and Nanpi.

Yuan Shaozhen didn't know why there were so many rats in his house all of a sudden, but he had previously transferred most of his troops to concentrate on Yecheng's side, so there were indeed not many garrisons left in other states and counties in Yizhou.

And now these troops who have entered Yuan Shao's territory are not ordinary bandits, not the type that can be solved by a small number of garrison county soldiers in the county, which makes Yuan Shao can only organize troops to encircle and suppress everywhere, just as Zhu Wei hoped, where does Yuan Shao have the spare strength to rescue Cao Cao.

Of course, Yuan Shao also resented Cao Cao's uselessness, how could he not play the role of sluggish Zhu Wei's army at all, and how could his original military strategic plan be used.

Now Cao Cao has withdrawn directly to Puyang City, losing so much territory in vain, and asking himself for support, this Cao Cao is really too spineless.

Yuan Shao originally had the intention to ignore it, but in the end, under the advice of Frustrated Professor, he reluctantly sent Gao Lan, Guo Tu, and Jiang Qi to lead 30,000 Yuan troops to Puyang to support Cao Cao.

However, the support of these 30,000 Yuan troops is really a drop in the bucket.

Not to mention how Yuan Shao's side arranged support, just say that Cao Cao on the side of Puyang, Yanzhou, was the first to strengthen the defense of Puyang City, and at the same time let Dong Heng's department, which was originally stationed in Jiyin County, withdraw to Juancheng, so that it could have the significance of assisting in the defense on the northeast flank of Puyang City.

Of course, there were only about 7,000 regular troops on Dong Heng's side in Juancheng, and the others were about 14,000 or 5,000 young and strong recruits who were temporarily recruited, and it was actually impossible to attack to support Puyang's side.

Besides, there is also the Hanzhong army sent by Zhu Wei to contain it, and it can be said that Dong Heng can protect himself in Jiyin County, which is already a good result.

And Zhu Wei's army of nearly 150,000 also arrived in Puyang, Zhu Wei took the army of Huang Zhong and Tai Shici as the vanguard, and quickly defeated and repelled Cao Cao's army on the periphery of Puyang City, forcing Cao Cao to retreat the whole army into Puyang City.

Because he had seen the siege methods of Zhu Wei's army on the side of Shouchun City, Cao Cao did not set up army camps outside Puyang City, but only constructed many urn cities in Puyang City to resist Zhu Wei's strong siege methods.

Then Cao Cao deepened the moat outside the city, and nailed a lot of wooden stakes outside the city, all to prevent Zhu Weijun from using the cave house car to get close to the city wall.

Even if this can't stop Zhu Weijun from approaching forever, it can at least delay some time for the war.

Although Hao Zhao, who is now Cao Cao's best at defense, was surrounded from behind by the Dongzhou army led by Zhang Ren and Huang Quan because he resisted Tai Shici and Zang Ba's army in Xiangyi, and finally broke the city and died under the offensive of Zhu Wei's army, Cao Cao himself was also a military master, so he naturally thought of a lot of defensive tactics against Zhu Wei's siege methods.

Therefore, Puyang City is now also very defensive by Cao Cao, and the city wall is prepared with sufficient materials to defend the city.

On September 18, 199 A.D., the main force of Zhu Wei's army came to Puyang City and completely surrounded Puyang City, and for a time more than 100,000 Zhu Wei's camp seemed to construct a circle of outer cities outside Puyang City.

Before the official start of the war, Zhu Wei inevitably arrived in front of Puyang City, preparing to have a pre-war meeting with Cao Cao.

So across the moat and the wooden stake obstacle about a range of an arrow on the periphery, after Zhu Wei's army set up a defensive and protective position, Zhu Wei stood on top of a chariot, surrounded by the surrounding guards and came to the east gate of Puyang City.

"Please also ask Cao Gong to come out and speak!"

Without Zhu Wei opening his mouth, there was already a loud herald beside Zhu Wei shouting Cao Cao above the east gate of Puyang.

"Qian Tanghou is not harmed, so far today, it is just a showdown, I don't know what else Qian Tanghou has to say!"

Cao Cao naturally had already arrived at the gate tower of the east gate of Puyang, but it seemed that there was nothing to say now, and Cao Cao naturally could not easily surrender in such a situation.

"Cao Gong, I heard that in the early years, Mr. Xu Shao commented that Your Excellency was a capable minister who ruled the world and a hero in troubled times, and now he is not a ruler, and Cao Gong can indeed be regarded as a hero! But if you can return to the world today, can Duke Cao be willing to be able to submit again? Cao Gong's talent is rare in the world, so why should he die with the destruction of Puyang City! ”

Zhu Wei looked at Cao Cao on the tower of the city gate from afar, looking at this traitorous male who was not tall, but he could also leave a name for eternity, and said as if he intended to solicit and persuade him to surrender.

Of course, now Zhu Wei also knows that Cao Cao is unlikely to surrender, but this process still has to go through, this is also the moment when Zhu Wei shows his generosity, or it is to buy the hearts of Cao Cao's subordinates, after all, if Zhu Wei can even accept Cao Cao, let alone the people under Cao Cao's account......
