Three hundred and ninety-two withdrawn

"I wanted to hit Liu Zhang by surprise and drive him out of Yuzhou. I really didn't expect that Wen Ping was so powerful, then Liu Zhang actually handed it over to Wen Ping directly, and there was no panic in the execution of the order, it was really the style of a general. I never thought that Liu Biao would have such a talent there? But he was discovered by Liu Zhang, and it seemed that he was directly entrusted with the important task. Cao Cao sighed and couldn't help but feel a little envious. Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran are definitely not bad, but Cao Cao will only consider reusing these generals for a while.

"Why should the lord be arrogant, Liu Zhang will inevitably shrink some time in today's battle. If Liu Zhang wants to fight a decisive battle, I am afraid that the army has already been mobilized. Guo Jia was very helpless about the situation in front of him, and he was also hesitating whether to catch Liu Zhang off guard, or blindly tolerate it.

Cao Cao sighed and said: "I'm afraid that I will fight Liu Zhang today, and I will withdraw my troops and go back, and Liu Zhang will come again tomorrow." This place is very close to Xuchang, once Yunxian is lost, then Liu Zhang can threaten Xuchang at any time, so what should I do? "If Liu Zhang really plays with Cao Cao like this, then what should he Cao Cao do? Do you want the North anymore?

Guo Jia smiled: "The lord is too anxious, what does Liu Zhang want?" It's nothing more than the lord withdrawing his troops and annexing the state. So does Liu Zhang want to sit on the world? There is no need to question this, but how did Liu Zhang annex these places in Jizhou next? Then Yuan Tan will not agree, the lord can watch from the wall. ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a while and said: "What does Feng Xiao mean, we will collect the troops and come back, and let Liu Zhang and them go in harmony with Yuan Tan?" "How could Liu Zhang be friendly with Yuan Shao? It seems that sooner or later there will be a fight.

Guo Jia nodded and said: "Don't forget the rumors that Yuan Shao's two sons are not compatible, the lord can recognize Yuan Tan's chariot general, and let Yuan Shang lead the position of right general." At the same time, Liu Bei was canonized as the pastor of Youzhou, and Liu Zhang was canonized as the pastor of the state. In this way, I am afraid that they will be in chaos within themselves. "This is a naked sowing of discord, the most important thing is that Cao Cao has mastered the Son of Heaven and the so-called orthodoxy. It's just that as long as these people don't raise troops, they really believe in this.

Cao Cao smiled when he heard this: "This seems to be very good, so does Liu Zhang want to invade Jizhou?" If he sends troops to attack Jizhou, I will take his Jingzhou, and if he does not send troops to seize Jizhou, then I will not care about Yuan Tan and others. If Yuan Tan and the others didn't have my threat, would they still form an alliance with Liu Zhang, a tiger? Since then, it is difficult for Liu Zhang to ride a tiger? So far, very good, very good. Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this, if he didn't let himself get the north, then he wouldn't let Liu Zhang get the north.

The next day, a fast horse went straight to Xuchang, and at the same time, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to the world. Liu Zhang led the state pastor, Yuan Shang led the right general, Yuan Tan led the car cavalry general, and Liu Bei led the Youzhou pastor. As for Yuan Xi, he was scolded inexplicably, but Yuan Tan was very happy. The chariot and cavalry generals have a higher rank than the left and right generals, and are only below the great generals and hussar generals......

In just one day, Liu Zhang learned of these news, he actually received the state pastor, Yuan Shao is not dead, this is to make himself hateful? But Liu Bei doesn't seem to be any better, as for Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, it seems that they hate each other even more. From this point of view, Cao Cao's move is killing many birds with one stone?

"Lord Cao Cao should be withdrawing his troops, is this going to see a few of us fighting?" Zheng Du smiled lightly.

Liu Zhang propped his chin and said: "This Cao Cao is really troublesome...... Liu Zhang felt that this was also very good, and it was very beneficial for him to let Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang fight.

Chen Gong on the side came out and said: "The lord can first receive the state pastor, and then help Yuan Tan get Jizhou, and then join Yuan Tan to send troops to Cao Cao." "Under the attack of the two sides, Cao Cao will definitely be defeated.

Liu Zhang smiled bitterly: "I don't think so, if Yuan Tan doesn't have Cao Cao's threat, although he won't turn his face with me, he may not be willing to attack Cao Cao with me." If not, I'll be the next Cao Cao. "Yuan Tan may be together, but Liu Bei will definitely not let Yuan Tan help him attack Cao Cao, then Xu Shu is definitely an understanding person.

If Cao Cao is defeated by his three groups, he will definitely be the biggest beneficiary. At that time, no one will come to restrain himself, and he can knead Liu Bei and Yuan Tan unscrupulously. Then Xu Shu must understand all this, and he will inevitably delay this time and add time for them to become stronger.

"But no matter what Cao Cao says, I'm going to let out a bad breath today." Looking at the approaching city gate, Liu Zhang planned to give Cao Cao a hundred rounds first, and blow up the entire city wall of Yun County.

Yesterday, he was beaten by Cao Cao, and so many people died, Liu Zhang said that he was not sorry for him? After breakfast early in the morning, Liu Zhang pulled his artillery out. Cao Cao obediently shrank inside the city wall today, without the slightest domineering of yesterday.

Cao Cao, who was hiding behind, listened to Zhang Liao and said: "Then Liu Zhang is like this every morning, using that kind of weapon to line up and bombard the city wall. Later, the lord could see that the weapon was very powerful and the sound was amazing. With Zhang Liao's words, Cao Cao also took a closer look. It looks pitch black, and I don't know what kind of weapon it is.

As Liu Zhang opened fire, Cao Cao finally saw the legendary way Liu Zhang sieged the city. The cannonball smashed on the top of the city wall, and there was a shaking of the ground beneath his feet. Cao Cao didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the sound was like thunder. Looking at Zhang Liao beside him, he was used to it.

As for Guo Jia and the generals, they all felt a little confused. This is the same effect as the first time Zhang Liao was bombarded by Liu Zhang's earth cannon, and they all looked into the distance a little confused. They hid on the other side of the wall, and this side would not be hit. Seeing that the city wall not far away was beaten twice, and then collapsed directly, Cao Cao's eyeholes shrank. If this is your own Xuchang, how can you defend it?

Originally, this city wall was already full of holes under Liu Zhang's blow, but at this moment, it was hit by Liu Zhang, and the city wall was completely unable to bear it. Five or six gaps collapsed in an instant, and if it weren't for the large number of repulsive horses and all kinds of sharp wooden utensils arranged behind the city, maybe Liu Zhang would have been ready to rush in.

Cao Cao observed carefully, this thing did not attack as fast as a bow and arrow. Secondly, the impact of this thing is very strong, but the coverage is limited. Unless you get hit head-on, you can still take a detour. counted a lot of shortcomings, but Cao Cao still sighed that this thing was still powerful.

If he could, Cao Cao also wanted it, with this east and west, wouldn't Jizhou take it in minutes? But in fact, this kind of strange thing is only available to Liu Zhang, is this the reason why he attaches importance to craftsmen? How could a craftsman who had never read a book make such a terrifying thing?

In short, Cao Cao was very panicked, even if it was far away, he was also panicked. After looking at it for a long time, Cao Cao said, "Can we make such a thing?" ”

Guo Jia on the side also looked at it for a long time: "Lord, we don't know what this thing is, and we can't even look at it carefully." Liu Zhang must have protected this thing very thoughtfully, and it is impossible for us to get it. Guo Jia would never have thought about this, if Liu Zhang wanted to protect this thing, they would never be able to get it.

Cao Cao stared into the distance with bright eyes: "What if I use gold and silver to buy it?" Cao Cao suddenly felt a little ridiculous, can this kind of thing be sold? Then Liu Zhang is stupid and won't sell this thing, right? After speaking, he laughed, and Guo Jia and the others on the side also shook their heads.

As the sound of artillery fire gradually subsided, it seemed that Liu Zhang also stopped. Looking at the already tattered city wall, Cao Cao was also amazed. It's not that he feels sorry for this city, but that he feels the power of this weapon. Such a thick rammed earth was actually destroyed like this, you must know that even the giant wood that hit the city gate may not be able to destroy it......

Cao Cao slipped out from the side of the city wall, watching Liu Zhang return to the camp but he couldn't pursue it. This feeling is really uncomfortable, especially when the other party's generals are firmly on one side, and even if he tries his best now, he can't grab those strange weapons. Watching Liu Zhang return to the camp, he watched all this powerless.

Cao Cao will try his best to get this kind of weapon, after all, this kind of thing is very powerful for siege. Suppressing the desire in his heart, Cao Cao needed to quickly mobilize the army over. The situation here makes it impossible for him to get Jizhou, so he simply prevents Liu Zhang from attacking him.

"Let Zixiao (Cao Ren) come back quickly, and Jizhou will let them go." I'm here to see what Liu Zhang will do next? Is it to take the annexation of the state or to help Yuan Tan? The contradiction between the two brothers is becoming more and more obvious......" Cao Cao said with a smile here, you must know that because of his canonization of Jizhou, it seems that there is already a lively feeling.

Yuan Shao was already seriously ill, and his son also accepted his canonization, and I don't know if he died of anger. Liu Bei took Youzhou Mu for no reason, and cut the meat directly from Yuan Shao, if he died of anger, I am afraid that there will be war in the north immediately. As for whether Liu Bei can get the Youzhou Mu, it doesn't matter about Cao Cao's affairs, he just needs to make those people mess up.

The main force withdrew from Liyang, and it didn't take a few days to reach Xuchang at all, and four or five days were enough to reach Yunxian. Frequent mobilization of the army, Liu Zhang's side also got the news. This made Liu Zhang also transfer troops from Nanyang, should this Cao Cao be crazy and want to fight with himself?

Liu Zhang was really worried that Cao Cao was driven crazy by himself, and maybe he would really find the army and fight him to the death in the next moment. Although he said that he was not afraid, it would go against his plan. Glancing at the city walls that were piled up by debris rather than city walls, Liu Zhang also had a little headache. Do you want to withdraw first, anyway, you can't talk to Cao Cao, I'm afraid I can really make him crazy.
