Xun Yu's death was a great blow to Cao Cao, and it was also of great benefit to Zhang Xiang in the long run, so it was acceptable for Zhang Xiang to be suppressed temporarily, and sometimes the attacking side suffered more casualties than the defending side. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Having the advantage and losing the source of troops is actually putting the cart before the horse, so it is destined not to last long, and the strategic advantage of enduring a temporary defeat is still profitable in Zhang Xiang's view.

Cao Cao must also realize this, but he must give an explanation to the Xun family, Cao Cao also has to do this, morale in the army is very important, if you don't vent this resentment.

Cao Cao's control of the army will also be affected, Cao Cao also has his own plans, who has the upper hand is just a matter of opinion, everything has two sides, no one dares to say who will win.

As long as there is a breath left, there is a chance to fight back, not to mention the confrontation between the two major forces, it is very common to win more with less, and Zhang Xiang and Cao Cao are not weak.

No one knows what the outcome will be until the last minute? In order to alleviate the offensive of Cao's army, Zhang Xiang transferred fire oil from the rear, all of which were raised from nearby cities, and the fire oil in the army was used up by Zhang Xiang.

Zhang Xiang is used in the siege of the city, now the camp of course needs more oil, every day Zhang Xiang inspects the camp, can smell the smell of charred corpses, the outside of the camp is full of scorched earth.

In fact, there are a number of such things as fire oil, especially in troubled times, fire oil can be sold at sky-high prices in many places, in order to reduce the casualties of soldiers, Zhang Xiang can only do this, others don't know and think that Zhang Xiang's family has a big business.

In fact, Zhang Xiang himself knows what it means to slap a swollen face and become fat, Zhang Xiang's territory is not like Cao Cao, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou are all rich places, although Zhang Xiang occupies the north, but there is a lack of support.

Zhang Xiang just looked at the family business very big, but in fact, the foundation was very thin, otherwise he would not have made a move before Cao Cao, in addition to making the first move, the most fundamental reason was that Zhang Xiang needed Cao Cao's territory.

Hegemony is a long-term goal, the short-term goal is, of course, to fight for territory, in order to fight Zhang Xiang, Cao Cao is also doing everything, Zhang Xiang used fire oil to block Cao Jun's footsteps.

Cao Cao directly brought the catapult to the battlefield, and Cao Cao's strategist Liu Ye also improved the catapult, that is, the thunderbolt, which can not only be used for garrisoning the city, but also for attacking the battlefield.

As soon as Zhang Xiang used fire oil, Cao Cao used a thunderbolt to bombard Zhang Xiang's camp, and fire oil had both advantages and disadvantages, and it could indeed resist the offensive of Cao's army when it burned.

But at the same time, it will also damage the fence and antlers, which can make the thunderbolt easily collapse, and every time Zhang Xiang's auxiliaries have to repair it is very troublesome, but it is a temporary repair.

After all, there is no original solidity, as soon as the flame is extinguished, it is easy for Cao Jun's soldiers to break through, once Cao's infantry kills the camp, it will be a big melee, and once again they will enter Zhang Xiang's middle camp.

There was no way for Zhang Xiang to let the cavalry in the army go into battle, and directly insert the Chinese army of Cao's army, and Cao's sergeants naturally had to retreat in order to protect Cao Cao's safety, but Zhang Xiang took the risk of launching cavalry, which naturally caused great damage to the cavalry.

The casualties caused are also immeasurable, and it can be regarded as a lose-lose situation, Cao Cao took advantage of the high morale of the army and constantly launched attacks on Zhang Xiang, Cao Cao knew very well that once he had the advantage, he would have to fight in one go.

Otherwise, he can only lose himself, Cao Cao continued to use his own methods to boost morale, Zhang Xiang finally couldn't care about the death and injury of the cavalry, and constantly sent cavalry to attack.

is to make Cao Jun unable to live in peace, just when Zhang Xiang and Cao Cao fell into a bitter battle, a major event happened in the south, that is, Liu Bei captured Shouchun, and the mastermind behind this incident was not Zhang Xiang.

To be precise, Feng Ao, Zhang Xiang's last order to Feng Ao was to mess up the south, the war in the north was non-stop, and Cao Cao put a lot of pressure on Zhang Xiang, so Zhang Xiang couldn't care about letting Liu Bei take advantage.

can only retreat and let Cao Cao suffer first, as for Liu Bei, let's talk about it after the match! Feng Ao was not in such a hurry, but as soon as Cao Ren arrived, he cut Feng Ao's military power.

Let Feng Ao have no way out, Cao Ren is Cao Cao's most valued general, so he is allowed to be alone, although Cao Ren is not as suspicious as Cao Cao, but he is very decisive, since Feng Ao is suspicious, then resolutely do not use.

Cao Ren entered Shouchun and directly summoned all the generals, most of the generals in the south had been under Cao Ren, so they were naturally very convinced of Cao Ren, and Li Gan's situation would not happen to Cao Ren.

The generals thought that they would be punished by Cao Ren, but they didn't expect Cao Ren to do nothing, just remove Feng Ao from military power, and the reason was also very good, Jia Xu was not Feng Ao, he was the main general with the troops.

The war was defeated again and again, and he retreated directly to Shouchun, what is there to say about cutting off the military power, Feng Ao has no soldiers around him to accept, and the generals can only express sympathy, after all, Cao Ren's prestige in the army is higher than Feng Ao.

The generals did not dare to object, Feng Ao lost the power of the army and lost the ability to mess up the south, so Feng Ao could only borrow strength, after Jia Xu's death, Liu Bei stormed Shouchun, which was also the easiest force for Feng Ao to borrow.

Zhang Xiang once mentioned in the secret order that it was not a last resort, and it was not allowed to cheap Liu Bei, Feng Ao now felt that this was the last resort, and to complete Zhang Xiang's secret order, Liu Bei must be allowed to get Shouchun.

Only when he got Shouchun Liu Bei could he threaten Cao Cao, although Feng Ao lost his troops, he still had some cronies around him, and with some secret guards under Zhang Xiang, there was no problem in opening the city gate.

Feng Ao also knew that Cao Ren had not relaxed his vigilance against him, Feng Ao's martial arts were not weak, and he naturally knew that there were many people monitoring him, so in order not to arouse Cao Ren's suspicion, Feng Ao did not eradicate these eyes.

has been watching coldly from the side, just to wait for an opportunity, to let himself have the opportunity to do it, Cao Ren calmly defended the city is also a board, when Cao Ren was stationed in Wancheng.

Let Liu Bei have no chance at all, and this time it is the same to garrison Shouchun, but this time is different from the past, Liu Bei must take Shouchun, even if it costs anything, Zhuge Liang can only give Liu Bei a way that is not a way.

That is to storm a door, but Zhuge Liang's onslaught is different from the general onslaught, directly cut to the well and erected on the city wall, like the well of the siege weapon, are used for a long time.

Although it is damaged, as long as the main trunk is broken, it can be repaired, such a luxurious method has not even been used by Zhang Xiang and Cao Cao, one or two Zhang Xiang can still accept, and even Zhang Xiang can't accept more.

What's more, it's Liu Bei, this time Liu Bei has made a lot of money, and the city in the south is not high, so there is no need for a well at all, and this kind of thing is only suitable for use in the north.

Therefore, Liu Bei does not have many wells in his hands, let alone a fortified city like Shouchun, in order to break through Shouchun, Liu Bei used all the wells in his hand, and all of them were destroyed under Shouchun City.

These can be said to be Liu Bei's accumulated family foundation! It was all used at once, and it was strange that Liu Bei was not distressed, but the effect was still very good, and the soldiers under the city could continue to attack the city.

It was much stronger than the siege ladder, so Cao Ren put all his energy on the city, so Feng Ao had an opportunity, he secretly contacted the secret guards and cronies, and prepared to do it at dusk.

Approaching dusk is also the last siege of Liu Bei's army, Feng Ao can be regarded as a battle-hardened battle, he knows that the last wave of attacks, the offensive is the most fierce, so Feng Ao chose this time to move.

Just when the battle at the head of the city was the most intense, Feng Ao brought people over, and his body was covered with the armor of the Cao army.

The soldiers along the way did not stop them, and no one stepped forward to stop them until they reached the city gate, "General Feng, why are you here?" ”

Feng Ao: "I received an order to guard the city gate temporarily, Cao Ren is really looking for something for me!" The meaning of the complaint in the words was very obvious, and everyone in the army knew the contradiction between Feng Ao and Cao Ren.

That's why Feng Ao wanted to get through the tricks, Feng Ao's style of doing things is to not do it if he can, which is taught bad by Yang Xu, but the general in charge of the city gate is a cautious person.

It's not that he doesn't believe Feng Ao, but he wants to ask Cao Ren for instructions first, "General Feng, the city gate is the top priority, so don't be surprised." “

Feng Ao knew that it would be impossible not to do it now, "This is natural, you have done a good job, if there were more generals like you in the army, I would not have fallen to this point today." “

"Who in the army doesn't know General Feng's ability, sooner or later he will lead the troops, and I hope General Feng will take care of it at that time."

Feng Ao: "This is natural. After saying this, Feng Ao made a move, and a sword pierced the chest of the goalkeeper general, such a general's death is really unknown, and he didn't know what was going on, and he was hit by a sword in the chest.

What died was that he couldn't die anymore, the people around Feng Ao also rushed up, and the city gate became a new battlefield, Cao Ren was fighting against Liu Bei's army, and suddenly a soldier came over to say about Feng Ao.

Cao Ren was already not at ease with Feng Ao, how could he let him be stationed at the city gate, Cao Ren knew that something bad was going to happen, so he personally led people down to the city, but unfortunately it was too late, and he only saw an end.

I saw Feng Ao open the city gate with his own eyes, "Feng Ao, you traitor." But it's a pity that no matter how loud the voice is, it is useless, Liu Bei's army also poured in from the city gate, Liu Bei saw the city gate wide open, and naturally he would not let go of this opportunity to press the whole army.

Feng Ao didn't die at the hands of Cao Jun, so he naturally didn't want to die at the hands of Liu Bei's army, so he led people to kill him backwards, opened the way for Liu Bei's army, and then advanced to Xicheng, and Cao Ren could only watch Feng Ao leave.

But it couldn't be stopped, after all, there were enemy troops everywhere, Liu Bei stormed the southern city, so Cao Ren gathered most of his troops here, for Cao Ren, these soldiers can make Feng Ao, a traitor, much more important. (To be continued.) )
