After a day and a half of marching, the army officially approached the city of Changshe.

Changshe is the gateway to Xudu, and there are more than 20,000 defenders to protect Xudu.

Coupled with the 40,000 to 50,000 troops of Xiahoudun and Xiahou Yuan, Zhao Feng conservatively estimated that the defenders of Changshe should be around 60,000 to 70,000.

In this case, storming the long shrine is simply thankless.

What's more, whether Cao Cao would send part of the army guarding Xu Du to Changshe, Zhao Feng had no way of knowing.

Therefore, Zhao Feng will not attack the Changshe.

From the next day, Zhao Feng seized Cao Cao's catapult and Huang Yueying's catapult, and began to frantically throw stones at Changshe.

The soldiers who used the captured Cao Cao's catapults were all Zhao Feng's tiger camp guards.

Then let Lu Su, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, and Hua Xiong lead the army to battle down in Changshe City to protect the catapults.

The reason why this is so is because there is an essential difference between Zhao Feng and Cao Cao's tactics.

Cao Cao wanted a quick victory, and he wanted to quickly solve Zhao Feng's army, but Zhao Feng didn't have the idea of a quick victory at all.

Therefore, for the catapult using Cao Cao, there is no need to be skilled at all, as long as the boulder can be roughly projected.

Of course, these boulders, in fact, are more just playing, and the siege seems to be very fierce.

In fact, what really caused damage to Changshe City was the catapult that Zhao Feng made himself.

This can be regarded as the catapult that Zhao Feng doesn't want to let himself get is too conspicuous.

Otherwise, if Cao Cao found that there was an obvious gap between Zhao Feng's catapult and the current catapult, maybe Cao Cao would desperately rush to the battle.

After all, although Zhao Feng has an army of 130,000, he actually only has an army of more than 90,000.

Changshe City conservatively estimates that there are about 70,000 troops, and the actual difference between the actual strength of the two sides is not particularly large.

Cao Cao really wants to rush to the death once, he can discover Zhao Feng's reality and reality, and then Cao Cao can deploy calmly.

That's why Zhao Feng chose this tactic.

Anyway, for Zhao Feng, there is no shortage of boulders, as long as the boulders that Cao Cao threw into Xinzheng are transported, it is enough to smash the north wall of the Changshe.

The only thing to worry about is the catapult made by Huang Yueying, and the number of times it can be used in some key parts is limited.

Whether or not the north wall of Changshe can be smashed in the end, Zhao Feng has no bottom in his heart.

Of course, even if the north wall of Changshe can't be smashed, it doesn't matter much to Zhao Feng.

Anyway, Zhao Feng is here, just to contain Cao Cao's remaining army.

If you can get results, then it is naturally the best, even if you can't achieve results, there are other armies from all walks of life, attacking Cao Cao's territory.

In general, time is on Zhao Feng's side, so Zhao Feng is not in a hurry at all.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

In the past half a month, Zhao Feng's army, every two days, will launch a stone-throwing siege on Changshe.

There are several places on the north wall of Changshe, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be smashed.

And because Zhao Feng had no intention of storming Changshe, the army did not have any losses.

Cao Cao may have scruples about Zhao Feng's 130,000 army, so he did not take the initiative to rush desperately.

Of course, it could be other reasons as well.

this day.

A sentry rode into the big tent of the Chinese army and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qi, Master Pang asked his subordinates to send a copy of the paperwork." ”

After speaking, he handed over the paperwork in his hand with both hands.

Xiong Da walked directly to the sentry rider, took the paperwork with both hands, and then handed it to Zhao Feng.

After Zhao Feng opened the paperwork, he carefully read it.

The gist of it is that after Zhao Feng defeated Cao Cao's army in Xinzheng, Liu Bei knew that capturing Yuan Yao would not achieve his original political goal, so he chose to withdraw his troops.

As for whether Liu Bei is now preparing to lead his troops back to aid Xudu, or withdraw to Xiangyang to find another way, it is unknown for the time being.

In the end, Pang Tong also confessed that Yuan Yao and one of his advisers discussed in the court for five days about the second Chan resignation to the throne.

Now that the results have been discussed, Yuan Yao sent five hundred soldiers to escort the honor guard and rushed to the Sili area.

Judging from the etiquette specifications, Pang Tong estimated that Yuan Yao should be preparing to give up the throne for the second time, so that Zhao Feng could make plans early.

After Zhao Feng finished reading it, he groaned.

At the beginning, Zhao Feng was worried that Yuan Yao would not be able to resist Liu Bei's attack, so he asked Pang Tong to assist Yuan Yao.

It's just that I learned afterwards that Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, Feng Ji, Xian Pei and others had secretly taken refuge in Yuan Yao.

In fact, strictly speaking, it is not a refuge.

In the early days, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had some fights, but later with the change of the situation, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, although there were still some fights on the surface, they were secretly reconciled.

And Yuan Yao, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and others, after all, are all children of the Yuan family, they are all cousins, and they are all a family.

If there were no Feng Ji, trial and others, Zhao Feng still didn't care much about Yuan Yao, and whether he accepted Zen concession or not, the symbolic meaning was greater than the practical significance.

But now that the children of the Yuan family are together, Yuan Yao has Feng Ji, trial and other people to give advice, it will definitely not be so easy to deal with.

Maybe Yuan Yao's first Zen concession was made by them.

And now he is preparing for the second Zen concession, also because Zhao Feng has just defeated Cao Cao's army, and the military is too powerful.

If Zhao Feng had some thoughts at this time and was ready to establish himself as the emperor, there would be nothing others could do, at most, they would be infamous for rebellion.

And once Zhao Feng establishes himself as the emperor, then Yuan Yao's future life will definitely not be easy.

Therefore, the use of the second Zen concession can also be regarded as a measure to stabilize Zhao Feng.

If nothing else, if Zhao Feng really wants to establish himself as the emperor, Liu Bei will definitely not worry, Zhao Feng will still stand up for Yuan Yao, and he will inevitably attack Yuan Yao again.

Of course, if Liu Bei is to come back to Xu Du, then it will have to be counted separately.

However, Zhao Feng believes that with Liu Bei's ambition, even if he is currently on the way back to Xu Du, as long as he learns that Yuan Yao has lost Zhao Feng's protection, it is estimated that he will still attack Yuan Yao.

After all, there are not many places that can be ruled by Liu Bei's camp.

Time passed slowly, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

In this month, Zhao Feng took into account the problem of the stock of boulders, and changed it from attacking Changshe City once every two days to attacking Changshe City once every three days.

Anyway, Zhao Feng's main purpose was not to take down Changshe, but to contain Cao Cao's army.

In this way, other armies can eat away at Cao Cao's territory faster.

this day.

A guard ran into the big tent of the Chinese army and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qiqi!" ”

"A person outside the camp claimed to be the judge of the court captain, and said that he was ordered by the Son of Heaven to come to meet the lord!"

After Zhao Feng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and the trial match was actually appointed as the court lieutenant.

Tingwei was originally one of the Jiuqing, but Xu Du's side has changed Tingwei to Dali, and Tingwei Temple has also been changed to Dali Temple.

PS: Xinghu is here, I want to give you a good old age!!

Some time ago, when I returned to my hometown in the countryside, I didn't expect that the computer in my hometown had broken down, and it was already the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and there was no place to repair it.

Later, I was going to use the mobile phone code word, but the efficiency of the mobile phone code word is very slow, and the relatives got together, it is difficult to use the mobile phone code to come out, and Xinghu is also very sorry.
