Chapter 424: The Way to Break the City
Outside the city of Qixian, Cao Jun was packing up.
At the head of the city, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu looked outside.
"Cao Cao is withdrawing." Zhang Xiu said: "Jia Gong sent people to Hebei before, and it really solved my urgent need. ”
"Tian Feng and Fu Zhu are wise and strategic, of course they know that Cao Cao is a big problem." Fu Zhu said: "Cao Cao's crusade against the general just gave Hebei the opportunity to attack Xudu. ”
"Jia Gong feels that Yuan Shao is likely to attack Xu Du?" Zhang Xiu asked.
"It's almost impossible!" Jia Xu said: "Although Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others knew that Cao Cao was a big trouble, Yuan Shao was indecisive. Now that Gongsun Chan has not been broken, he is afraid that he will not send troops south. ”
"In that case, Jia Gong still asked people to go to Hebei?" Zhang Xiu's brows furrowed slightly.
"Yuan Shao is indecisive, but Cao Cao is suspicious by nature." Jia Xu said: "Knowing that Hebei has the idea of attacking Xudu, how can he stay here? In less than two days, the siege of Suixian will be solved! ”
"The siege of Sui County is lifted, and Wenhe should be credited." Zhang Xiu patted Jia Xu's arm.
Cao Shuo led his troops to the outside of the city of Qixian County, and it was already dark.
After getting off the horse, he walked towards Cao Cao's tent without a moment's delay.
Outside the tent, Cao Shuo asked Xu Chu, "Is my father here?" ”
"Cao Gong just fell asleep." Xu Chu said: "After attacking the city for days, Cao Gong is also tired. ”
"Trouble Brother Zhongkang to help me out." Cao Shuo said.
Xu Chu was about to pass the ceremony, when Cao Cao's voice came from the tent: "It's Zirong back, right?" ”
"Father, it's me!" Cao Shuo responded.
"Come in and talk." Cao Cao said, "Zhongkang, help me light the lamp." ”
The two of them answered and entered the account.
Xu Chu lit the lamp and retreated, while Cao Shuo saluted Cao Cao who was sitting on the bunk and said, "Father, the child has come back by order." ”
"I heard that your immortal camp was almost wiped out?" Cao Cao asked.
"Nope!" Cao Shuo said: "But more than half of the casualties have been killed. ”
"You fought hard in this battle." Cao Cao said: "When I return to Xudu, I will reward my meritorious deeds." ”
"Father." Cao Shuo said: "It doesn't matter if I want credit or not, the key is those people under me, I hope my father can reward an official." ”
"You're just General Fubo, what kind of official do you want to ask for for them?" Cao Cao asked.
"Partial generals, generals, and tooth generals." Cao Shuo said: "I want as much as my father can give." ”
"You don't have a small appetite." Cao Cao smiled indifferently: "Yes!" ”
"Why did you call you back, I should have heard about it?" Cao Cao asked again.
"Father thinks Yuan Shao will send troops to attack Xudu?" Cao Shuo asked rhetorically.
"Wouldn't he?" Cao Cao said: "Don't think that if you have a marriage contract with his daughter, he will show mercy to our Cao family. ”
"I didn't say he wouldn't, just not now." Cao Shuo said: "I have been to Hebei, I have met Yuan Shao, and I know his personality. ”
"You've seen it once, do you still know him?" Cao Cao said: "Yuan Shao has long had the ambition to dominate the Central Plains, and Gongsun Zan is now trapped in Yijing, and there is no possibility of competing with him. Although the Montenegrin army is rampant in Hebei, what great things can the rabble achieve? What Yuan Shao is afraid of is our Cao family. ”
"What the father said is that the child has been taught." Cao Shuo said: "But I always feel that leaving Zhang Xiu is a big problem, can I ...... it?"
"What are you going to do?" Cao Cao asked.
"Can you ask my father to return to Xudu first, leave me half of the soldiers and horses, and I will definitely take the county." Cao Shuo said.
"Do you have a way to take the county?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up.
The city was besieged for days, and many soldiers were killed and wounded, and so far he has not been able to take the county.
The Yuan family may go south to Xudu, after all, it is only possible.
Allocate a group of soldiers and horses to go back, even if Yuan Shao's army is in Xudu, it will be impossible to break through in three or two months.
It won't take that long to attack the county.
After weighing the pros and cons for a while, Cao Cao asked, "What method do you have to break through the county?" ”
"My father led half of his troops back to Xudu with great fanfare." Cao Shuo said: "The other half is lying dormant on the spot, and I will lead the troops to attack the city." Zhang Xiu saw that I had few soldiers, and he would definitely go out of the city for a decisive battle in a few days. Once he's out of town, I've got a way to keep him from coming back! ”
"Zhongkang!" After hearing what Cao Shuo said, Cao Cao shouted outside the tent.
Xu Chu entered the account, clenched his fists and asked, "What does Gong Cao command?" ”
"Go and invite Bonghyo." Cao Cao said.
Xu Chu retreated.
After a while, Xu Chu came with Guo Jia.
After entering the account, Guo Jia asked Cao Cao: "Gong Cao is looking for me at this time, is there something important to order?" ”
"I don't have any orders." Cao Cao said: "Just now Zirong and I proposed a method, you can see if it works." ”
"Zirong, tell me what you think about it." Cao Cao instructed Cao Shuo.
Cao Shuo told Guo Jia what he had just said.
After Guo Jia listened, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said to Cao Cao: "Congratulations to Cao Gong for breaking Zhang Xiu." ”
"Feng Xiao thinks this method is feasible?" Cao Cao asked.
"If Childe hadn't been defeated before, and the immortal camp hadn't lost more than half, this method would definitely not work." Guo Jia said: "But at this time, it is bound to happen. ”
"Why?" Cao Cao asked again.
"Everyone in the world knows that the immortal camp is the elite under the command of Prince Zirong." Guo Jia said: "That's why it's named, just because a soldier dies in battle, there will be a veteran to fill it immediately." Although the number of soldiers is not large, after countless battles, the total number of soldiers is quite large. However, in this expedition, the enemy army caused more than half of the undead battalion to be lost, and anyone would think that Gongzi was very angry, and it was not unreasonable to refuse to retreat to the lone army to besiege the city. ”
"Did you also think about this level, so you decided to continue the siege?" Cao Cao asked Cao Shuo.
Cao Shuo clenched his fists and bowed and did not speak.
He didn't speak, which just confirmed Cao Cao's statement.
"Early tomorrow morning, I will return to Xudu with my troops, and I will hand it over to you here." Cao Cao said: "If you need anything, you just have to ask." ”
"I need carpenters, stonemasons." Cao Shuo said: "Please father leave all the carpenters and stonemasons in the army, and when Zhang Xiu will go out of the city, it is all up to them." ”
Cao Cao looked at Cao Shuo suspiciously: "What do you want so many carpenters and stonemasons for?" ”
"Make a cannon." Cao Shuo said: "The cannon bombarded the city, I don't believe that Zhang Xiu can't come out." ”
"Cannon?" Cao Cao was stunned: "What is it?" ”
"A siege machine that can throw boulders." Cao Shuo said: "It's okay for my father to call it a cannon, or it's okay to call it a catapult. ”
"Has Bonghyo ever heard of such a thing?" Cao Cao asked Guo Jia.
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Childe has a wonderful idea, and I haven't figured out how to throw the boulder." ”
"I don't have time to stay here and see how you make a cannon." Cao Cao said: "Break through the county and give me Zhang Xiu's head." ”
