Five hundred men were a drop in the ocean for twenty thousand soldiers, and their disappearance attracted little attention. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Cao Hong's trip was very fast, he had to arrive at the Chen Mansion before the guards along the way found it, and then he took Yunsheng back to Cao's army quickly.

This is an arduous task, and it can even be said that it is impossible to accomplish, but Cao Hong took it, and he has already led five hundred black-armored light scale horsemen to set off quietly.

Although Cao Hong had a thousand puzzles and ten thousand doubts, he would still not hesitate to complete Cao Cao's order, whether it was really impossible to succeed or not, he still went

In fact, Cao Cao's move contained a very large amount of information, whether it was from asking Cao Hong to bring back Yunsheng, or his motives could trigger countless reveries.

The Chen family, where Yunsheng is located, is already a veritable first family in Xuzhou at this time, and it is impossible for Cao Cao, a neighbor of Xuzhou, not to know. There are a lot of things that can be deciphered by the Tao in this.

For example, relying on the re-returned Yunsheng, he used the status and fame of the Chen family's first family in Xuzhou to guide Cao Cao.

In this way, Cao Cao can take Xuzhou in one fell swoop without much effort, and by the way, he has the support and resources of the Chen family, which can really be described as killing two birds with one stone.

This is not an impossible thing, and the historical Empress Wenzhao Zhen Mi is a very good example.

Zhen Mi, a woman, has a bad fate.

During the Jian'an period, Yuan Shao was his second son Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi of the Zhen family, but when he came back, because Yuan Xi served as the assassin of Youzhou, Zhen was left in Jizhou to serve Yuan Shao's wife, Mrs. Liu.

A delicate woman is separated from her husband by two places, and she can only serve in front of her parents-in-law all the time, does it feel a little miserable when she thinks about it like this?

It's okay, there's something worse.

In the ninth year of Jian'an in history, Jizhou Yecheng was broken by Cao Cao, and Mrs. Liu and Zhen sat in the imperial hall together.

Cao Pi entered the Yuan Mansion and saw Mrs. Liu and Zhen, Zhen was frightened and put his head on Mrs. Liu's lap.

Cao Pi asked, "Let your daughter-in-law raise her head!" ”

Mrs. Liu couldn't do it, picked up Zhen's and asked her to raise her head, Cao Pi took a look at her and saw that she was extraordinarily beautiful, and was shocked.

At that time, Cao Cao knew Cao Pi's thoughts, so he married Zhen for him.

In fact, there was also a saying at that time: Cao Cao invaded Xiaye, Cao Pi entered the Yuan Mansion, and saw a young woman with her hair disheveled and her face dirty, hiding behind Mrs. Liu and crying.

Cao Pi asked who she was, and Mrs. Liu replied, "It's Yuan Xi's wife." ”

Then Cao Pi helped her pull up her hair in a bun, wiped her face with a hand towel, and found that she was beautiful.

After that, Liu said to Zhen: "Don't worry about being killed now!" ”

In the end, Cao Pi accepted Zhen as a concubine, and he was very favored.

It's a pity that no matter how much she is favored, she can't change that Zhen Mi is a second-married woman, and her identity has changed from the young lady of the Yuan family's forces to the concubine of the Cao family in the Cao family's forces.

You must know that at that time, the status of concubines was very low, so low that it was equivalent to goods and items, which could be bought and sold at will and given away.

It can be seen that behind the sharp change in Zhen Mi's identity, there is a mixture of joy and sorrow.

Fortunately, Zhen Mi's maiden family is the Zhen family of Hebei Wang, which is very influential in the north, which supports her status.

And an important factor that prompted Cao Pi to accept Zhen Mi as a concubine was more likely to be the reason for his own status and low resources in the Cao family's power at that time, hoping to get the Zhen family's support through the way of taking concubines.

At that time, Cao Pi should have been at a critical time in the competition for the heir of the Cao family, and by accepting Zhen Mi as a concubine, he could not only win over the soldiers of the original Yuan Shao's department, but also get a lot of resources from the Zhen family, which can be said to be a very typical policy marriage.

This is very similar to what Cao Cao wants to do now, but one is to strengthen his own power, and the other is to be the heir of the Cao family.

Cao Cao and Cao Pi are worthy of being father and son, and they are strikingly similar in this regard.

The offensive and defensive battle of Pengcheng continued, the flames of war were still burning, and the wails were still floating in the sky.

The blood-stained city wall, the tired city guards, Chen Deng didn't have time to explain, and hurriedly shouted to Cao Bao's guards: "Quick! Go to the east gate quickly, and let half of the soldiers and horses stationed there be transferred to the other three sides. ”

As soon as Chen Deng shouted like this, Cao Bao seemed to understand something in his head, but he didn't seem to understand anything, so he unleashed a talisman and asked the guard to go to the dial.

After the guard ran away, Cao Bao asked suspiciously, "Why is this?" Don't you want the East Gate? ”

Chen Deng's eyes did not leave the battlefield, and said: "Yes, how can you not want to." It's just that the current situation does not allow us to waste more surplus troops on the east gate, if we continue like this, the remaining three sides will collapse sooner or later, it is better to draw out some troops to support the three sides now. ”

Hearing this, Cao Bao would be relieved, but he immediately wondered: "But isn't this a symptom but not a cure?" ”

Feel the smell that is getting thicker, it's the breath of bloody battle!

While the two were talking, another wave of attacks was repelled with difficulty by the defenders, and the faces of the soldiers were much more tired.

Some people have even developed dehydration, and not one or two cases, but dozens or hundreds of cases!

When the first dehydrated person appeared, Chen Deng hurriedly went down the arrow tower with Cao Bao to check the situation of the soldiers.

Looking at the dehydrated soldier leaning against the corner of the city wall, he looked like he was paralyzed, his skin was red from the outside, his mouth was obviously dry, and he even had a slight muscle spasm and tingling in his limbs.

Chen Deng observed three or four in a row, and the dehydration situation varied, but all of them were undoubtedly dehydrated.

The military doctor who caught up in time made a simple diagnosis and treatment on the spot, and Cao Bao asked the less serious person, and the three of them supported each other to go back to the camp for a while.

As for the seriousness, it's not that Chen Deng and Cao Bao don't do their best, in this situation, there is no possibility of adequate diagnosis and treatment at all, at most, let the military doctor simply diagnose and treat, and then resign himself to fate.

The cruelty of war, it can be seen from this!

Chen Deng looked at the sky, it was almost noon, and Cao's army was about to withdraw.

This first round of siege passed like this, and both the Cao army and the Xuzhou army suffered heavy losses, but because of the quality of the troops, the losses of the Cao army were only a few thousand more than the Xuzhou army.

The smoke rising from the sparks surrounded the city, making it look like a fairy city in the sky from a distance.

The blue flag with the word "Tao" on the edge of the city tower is already tattered and ragged, and it seems that it will fall in an instant.

On the corridor of the city tower, there are dead bodies lying on the ground, horizontal and vertical, blood does not stop, the thick smell of blood and sweat are mixed with each other, filling the air to make people smell pungent and unpleasant.
