The camp of the Cao army outside the city of Xiapi, in Cao Cao's tent.

"Bonghyo is here! What did Yoshiho say there? ”

After Guo Jia gave a slight salute, he caught the wine bag thrown by Cao Cao, and poured a few mouthfuls into his stomach before saying: "That kid said that he threw slaked lime, although it can hurt Lu Bu's eyes for a few days, it will not be a big problem, unless those people around Lu Bu don't even recognize lime, and they are stupid enough to wash Lu Bu's eyes with water." ”

Cao Cao frowned, and his expression also showed dissatisfaction: "It's just that Lu Bu's eyes can be injured for a few days?" What's the use of that? The city of Xiapi City is high and deep, Lu Bu's military strength has not suffered major losses, and Chen Gong is not an idle person. In just a few days, Lone Ke was not sure that he would be able to break through Xiapi in the few days when Lu Bu's eyes were injured. ”

Guo Jia smiled: "The lord is greedy. The lord almost died last night, and he didn't recover his strength, so he wanted to take advantage of the situation to break the city? ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Lone is a little anxious, but he can't tolerate Lonely." Before Gu Wei arrived at Xiapi, he thought that Xiapi City was not an ear and could be easily attacked. But when I really arrived at this Picheng, I found that such a strong city was really difficult to break. Moreover, Lu Bushi is brave and good at fighting, and now he is defending according to the fortified city, and he wants to break through Xiapi, which is difficult! ”

Guo Jia's face changed and asked, "Does the lord have the intention of retiring from the army?" ”

Cao Cao nodded: "If it's just that Xiapi City is difficult to break, and if it is besieged and supplemented by good strategies, there will always be a time to take it." But now there is Yuan Shao in the north, Yuan Shu in the south, Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu in the west. ”

Guo Jia said: "The lord is afraid that when he attacked Tao Qian, he was attacked by Lu Bu and attacked the rear again, right?" ”

Cao Cao then nodded. This is actually a typical mentality of "once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of grass rope". Cao Cao is also a human being, so it is not surprising that he would have such a mentality, not to mention that the current situation is too similar to when he fought Tao Qian.

Guo Jia poured another sip of wine, pondered for a moment and said: "Lord, with all due respect, if you can't completely get rid of Lu Bu this time, and then hold Xuzhou in your hands as soon as possible, then the lord will fall into a dead end." ”

Cao Cao was taken aback at the time and asked urgently, "How do you say this?" ”

Guo Jia said: "With the wisdom of the lord, how can he not see through the key to this? At present, Yuan Shao is in the north, and he is fighting the final decisive battle with Gongsun Zhan, and with the momentum of Gongsun Zhan, it is only a matter of time before he is defeated and dies, and it can only last for another year at most; Yuan Shu is in the south, blindly arrogant and lascivious, and it won't take long for him to kill himself, so he didn't have to worry about anything, but if Yuan Shu knew that he was weak and went to Yuan Shao's command, would the two Yuan join forces, will the lord be able to resist it in the future? And if you want to block Huainan Yuanshu's northward movement, you can only hold Xuzhou in your palm. ”

Cao Cao didn't speak, but turned to look at the map in the tent.

Guo Jia continued: "The land of Xuzhou is not only in the hands of the lord in order to prevent the two Yuan from joining forces, there are many reasons for this, I believe there is no need to talk too much." I will only say one sentence below, if Xuzhou Lu Bu is not removed, then when the lord and Yuan Shao are fighting, if Lu Bu stabs the lord in Xuzhou, what kind of situation will it be? ”

Cao Cao still didn't speak, but his eyes were already narrowing and narrowing.

Guo Jiadao: "It is inevitable for Yuan Shao to get rid of Gongsun Zhan, but it has not been completed so quickly, and in my opinion, it will take at least half a year to do it; As for Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao, they are all self-disciplined thieves, so there is no need to worry; Although Yuan Shu in the south is a bit threatening, now that Liu Bei is blocking the road, it is difficult to do anything in a short time. So my lord, you still have time to get rid of Lu Bu completely, and this is the only chance right now. If the lord retreats and is restored by Lu Bu's strength, then there will only be endless troubles. ”

Cao Cao nodded again. Cao Cao is not stupid, but occasionally he will make a mistake, as long as someone reminds him in time, Cao Cao can still react under normal circumstances. At least Cao Cao, who doesn't have the heart to despise the enemy, will be like this.

After looking at the map for a while, Cao Cao said: "What Feng Xiao said is extremely true, but Picheng is really not so easy to attack this time." If Lone is bent on attacking, the army will inevitably be lost too much, and Lone still expects to save more soldiers to deal with the decisive battle with Yuan Shao, and there can be no too much loss. Fengxiao, do you have a good way to break the city? ”

Guo Jia said: "There is one, but it is not time yet, and it will be at least a month before it can be applied." It's too early, and there can't be any action, otherwise once the city of Xiapi is prepared, this strategy will be useless. ”

If Lu Ren was present, he would immediately understand that Guo Jia was already planning to divert the water of the Sihe River to flood Xiapi. And Guo Jia said that it will be at least a month later, and Lu Ren, who has been engaged in farming and water conservancy for several years, will also understand that this will have to wait until the end of December, that is, the snow water in late winter and early spring will melt and the water level will rise in the spring rainy season, otherwise the amount of water will not be enough.

At this time, Cao Cao didn't react, or didn't think of that, but Cao Cao didn't blindly ask. Because Cao Cao understood that if he knew about this matter too early, if he did something because of his itching, it might be self-defeating. Many times, the necessary patience is necessary, so Cao Cao nodded and said: "That is the case, when the time comes, you can offer your plan to Lone, and Lone will no longer ask anything." ”

Guo Jia also nodded. But after thinking about it, Guo Jia didn't know what kind of thoughts he had in mind and said to Cao Cao: "Yihao, this kid is still in the army, maybe he can have some other way to break the city." ”

To be honest, what Cao Cao and Guo Jia said at the beginning was serious. However, after the serious matter was almost over, there was a little bit of chatting and laughing, and Lu Ren unfortunately became the object of the joke between the two lords and ministers.

Cao Cao was slightly stunned: "He is not good at military affairs, what good strategy can he come up with to break the city?" ”

Guo Jia said: "This has nothing to do with whether or not you are good at military affairs. I was thinking that this kid had learned so much, and he could figure out all the mess. Maybe among the arts he has learned, there is something new, or a strange way, maybe he can directly open the gate of Xiapi City. ”

Cao Cao was happy: "If that's really the case, wouldn't he become an immortal who can take people's lives with flying swords and have the ability to move mountains and seas?" But he seems to be recuperating in a tent now, right? How can there be any immortals who still need to recuperate? ”

Guo Jiayile: "It's not that he has the ability to be an immortal, but that he will make something." People who can read books don't necessarily know how to write books and speak, and the same is true. ”

Cao Cao shook his head: "If he can really break through the Xiapi City Gate and make Lone destroy Lu Bu early, he will give him whatever Lone wants, as long as Lone can give it." ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "The lord has already promised to reward him with Minchan, if he makes another great contribution, where will the lord reward him with a beautiful woman?" This kid's vision is very high, and he can't look down on ordinary beauties. ”

Cao Cao was also laughing: "Then you go and tell him, if he doesn't think of a way to open the gate of Xiapi City, this Mink Changu will not be able to reward him as promised." ”

One sentence made the two ministers laugh, but after laughing, Guo Jia muttered: "This may be a solution." And...... Doesn't the lord think it's strange? In fact, I didn't pay attention to it before, this kid seems to have decided that the lord will definitely be able to destroy Lu Bu if he sends troops this time, otherwise, with this kid's greedy personality and fear of death, if he is not absolutely sure, where will he rush to the battlefield? ”

Cao Cao was also stunned. Just like Guo Jia said, what kind of character Lu Ren is, Cao Cao is also very clear, but generally speaking, who will notice this? And now that I suddenly think about it, it is indeed a lot different from Lu Ren's usual style of doing things, and the most important thing is that Lu Ren violated Cao Cao's wishes to a certain extent, which is even more strange. If he came simply to see the beauty, Cao Cao often didn't believe that Lu Ren would take such a risk:

"Could it be that Yoshiho expected something?"

At this time, if Lu Ren knew that some of his abnormal behaviors had inadvertently attracted Cao Cao's attention, he would only cry. However, this can't blame Lu Ren for being careless, he is completely following a direction to do things, and there will inevitably be times when he takes himself for granted in his behavior.

Guo Jia muttered again: "Let's go and test it again." It would be great if this kid really had something to do. If he can find a way to break through Xiapi quickly, it will be better than the lord still besieging Lu Bu here. But with this kid's human nature, I'll have to use some tricks on him. This kid is actually hiding very deeply, and he won't make a move if he doesn't force him to a certain part. ”

“…… Feng Xiao, it's almost enough, don't force it too much. For Yihao, Lone is still of great use. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

In the blink of an eye, it was five days after the battle outside the city of Xiapi.

These five days can be regarded as tense and boring for both Cao and Lu's armies. Cao Cao can be said to have won both a battle and a defeat, and had to gather and reorganize those soldiers who fled in all directions; As the coach, Lu Bu was injured in both eyes and had to withdraw to Picheng for medical treatment. Both sides are busy and have to be careful to guard against each other, so they can't fight for a while.

Five days later, Cao Cao's collection and reorganization had already been completed, and at the same time, it was found that the defenders of Lu Bu's camp outside Xiapi City had been replaced by Wei Xu, so he led troops to attack without saying a word. Is it asking how much ability Wei Xu can have? Although there are Gao Shun's 700 trapped camps in his hands, but the trapped camps can't exert their due strength without Gao Shun's command, and Lu Bu's eye injuries have a great negative impact on morale, so that the soldiers have no will to fight, so Cao Cao drove Wei Xu back to Xiapi City and captured the camp. At this point, Cao Cao's siege of Xiapi City was fully completed, and all that remained was how to attack the city and break the city...... (I'm confused.) It's almost a million words, but it's not even a total of 100,000 hits. It's useless to put it on the shelves. Is there any point in writing it down like this now? Maybe someone is right to me, what online articles want is fast and cool, and the style that the bottle has been writing may not be suitable for the online literature circle at all. )
