The people who got the news were prepared to attack in advance, and Lun Zhi and Bei Yan were ordered to come and suppress it.

Just as the Liaodong Army was strengthening the guards at the city gate and searching for the leaders who tried to cause trouble, the people, who had already been prepared, picked up the tools that could be used as weapons at home and flocked to the city gate.

The fire dance that had dormant in the city mingled with the people and charged towards the city gates.

At the head of the city, the archers of the Liaodong Army shot countless arrows.

The people in the charge fell to the ground one after another, and it was not until someone brought the door panel to block the front of the crowd that the casualties were reduced somewhat.

Death did not make the people retreat, and they flocked to the city gates one after another, and launched an attack on the city gate defenders.

A tidal wave of people crashed into the defenders.

The Liaodong army guarding the city gate was knocked back again and again.

The shouting and killing sound coming from the city could even be heard clearly in the Cao Jun military camp outside the city.

Cao Shuo, who got the news, hurried to the periphery of the barracks.

There was no longer the relaxed expression on his face from the previous days, but a solemn one.

Looking at the direction of Xiangping City, Cao Shuo clenched his fists and shouted to Lu Bu: "General Lu, order all the soldiers and listen to my orders at any time!" ”

Finally waiting for Cao Shuo's order, Lu Bu turned on his horse and shouted to the soldiers: "Soldiers, the day of siege has finally come, once Gongzi gives the order, follow me into Xiangping City!" ”

After being stationed outside Xiangping City for several days, the soldiers of the Cao Army, who had long been holding back their panic, heard Lu Bu's shout and shouted in unison.

The shouts of Cao Jun reached the city, which undoubtedly gave great encouragement to the civilians who attacked the city gates.

"The son of the Cao family is outside the city, take the city gate, and welcome the Cao army into the city!" A shout came from the crowd, and the civilians of the tide were fearless to launch a fierce assault on the city gate.

Although some precautions were made, the Liaodong army guarding the city gate was unable to resist the attack of Cao's army in the end.

The Liaodong army guarding the city gate was forced into a corner, and some civilians opened the city gate and shouted to the Cao army outside the city.

Seeing the city gate open from afar, Lu Bu shouted: "Soldiers, kill me!" ”

The soldiers of the Cao army, who had long been gearing up, flocked to Xiangping City.

Seeing this, Gongsun Yuan at the head of the city hurriedly shouted: "Recapture the city gate, don't let Cao Jun enter the city!" ”

More Liaodong counties flocked to the people near the city gate.

The people rose up to resist, but the weapons in their hands were too rudimentary, and under the attack of the Liaodong army, many people fell in the chaotic crowd.

Lü Bu led Cao's army to rush into the city gates.

The people flashed to both sides and made way for them.

After the Liaodong Army, which had slashed and killed the people, engaged the Cao army, the refreshing feeling of wielding weapons and slashing quickly disappeared.

The soldiers of the Cao Army, who were more sophisticated in armament and more well-trained, pressed the Liaodong Army all the way.

As more and more Cao troops entered the city, the battlefield gradually extended from the city gate to the city.

The soldiers of the Cao army were not familiar with the terrain, and the people of Xiangping spontaneously led the way.

In the street fighting, the Liaodong Army, which was supposed to have the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, even the last bit of advantage disappeared.

When Cao Shuo entered the city, the battle was nearing its end.

After a fight, Lu Bu searched everywhere but failed to find Gongsun Yuan.

Knowing that Cao Shuo had entered the city, he brought several soldiers to return to his life.

Coming to Cao Shuo, Lu Bu said: "Son, Gongsun Yuan is nowhere to be found. ”

"The general trend is gone, can he still not run?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to Lu Bu: "General Lu doesn't need to pay attention to him, just lead the soldiers to annihilate the Liaodong army in the city." ”

"These goods of the Gongsun family in Liaodong are not very good at fighting, but they have a hand in dealing with the people." Lu Bu said: "When we entered the city, they were slashing and killing, but when they met us, they quickly collapsed. ”

"In the past, I would give the soldiers a few days off if they broke through the city." Cao Shuo said: "This time to break through Xiangping, I plan to give the people a few days off. ”

"Childe means ......" Lu Bu didn't understand what Cao Shuo meant.

Guo Jia on the side said: "Gongzi is doing this because he wants the officials of Liaodong to completely cut off their roots!" ”

"After so many years of marching and fighting, massacres are often encountered." Cao Shuo said: "But it's the first time I've encountered someone like the Liaodong Gongsun family who does everything." Since they have done it, how can they be afraid of the people seeking revenge? ”

"Just about buying people's hearts, I'm afraid no one in the world can be the right of the son." Guo Jia said: "In this way, the people of Xiangping will be dead set on Gongzi. ”

"Although Gongsun Yuan has some skills, he ignores a problem." Cao Shuo said: "Although the people live at the bottom, Haoqiang can bully them at will, but they must not arouse public anger. Once the people's anger is aroused, the once invincible power is likely to become fish and meat to be slaughtered. By that time, it wasn't certain who was on the chopping board. ”

"If Gongsun Yuan can have the vision of Gongzi, how could Xiangping fall into the hands of the Cao family so easily?" Guo Jia smiled indifferently and said to Cao Shuo: "There are many things that Gongzi says, even a well-educated person may not be able to say it. ”

"That's not it." Cao Shuo said with rare humility: "In fact, many of the things I said were once said by the sages, but they were deliberately forgotten. ”

There were fewer and fewer Liaodong troops who resisted, and as the Cao army occupied more and more streets, the battle of Xiangping was coming to an end.

Cao Shuo, accompanied by Guo Jia and others, was walking forward, and was confronted by a group of ragged people.

These people pushed a man with a roe deer and a rat and walked over to Cao Shuo.

The guards who followed behind Cao Shuo hurriedly stepped forward and blocked their way.

"Childe is here, don't be rude!" Deng Zhan, who led the guards to stop the people, shouted.

Hearing that it was Cao Shuo who came, the people hurriedly stopped, except for the two who twisted the man, the others knelt down one after another.

"What's going on?" Looking at the man, Cao Shuo asked, "What fault did this person make?" ”

A man kneeling at the front replied: "Before, we planned to take the city gate tomorrow night, but we didn't expect this person to run to tell Gongsun Yuan, so that he was on guard, so many people would be killed and injured." Childe broke the city, and he also planned to escape, but we captured him. ”

"What are you going to do with him?" Cao Shuo asked.

The people shouted: "Kill him, avenge the dead!" ”

"Isn't it too cheap to kill him?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to the people present: "He did this kind of thing, so many people were killed and injured." Just beat him to death, how can he get rid of the hatred in everyone's hearts? ”

The people present were stunned one by one, and they glanced at each other, but they didn't understand what Cao Shuo meant.

"In my opinion, this man's crime is so heinous that he deserves to be crushed and scattered." Cao Shuo said: "You build a platform in the city, and pile dry wood on it, and burn him to death." ”
