Cao Ming sighed: "Hurry up! I am really touched that the general can have this heart, and now there is a shortage of major generals in Shanyang County, and every strength is very important. ”

Cao Ming thought that Dian Wei was brave and could play an important role, especially when the enemy broke into the city and needed to be fierce to plug the gap.

Dian Wei is Cao Cao's number one general, but it is a pity that he was buried under Cao Cao's mistakes, and he can be regarded as a more tragic figure in history.

Dian Wei got up and said: "That Zhang Miao and Chen Gong want to support Lu Bu as the state pastor, and now they are about to attack the city gate, Niangniang should hurry up and evacuate!" ”

Cao Ming shook his head and said: "There are only four cities left in the entire Yanzhou, so we have no way out, and Shanyang County is the seat of Yanzhou, once it is broken by the rebels, the people of Yanzhou will inevitably turn against us." ”

Cao Ming knows the importance of governance, not only to manage affairs, but also to serve as an important banner of a region.

"But in case" Dian Wei was not a person who was afraid of death, he was worried that after the city was broken, Cao Ming would be killed by the rebels.

Cao Ming said resolutely: "There is no case, although I, Cao Ming, have no great ambitions, I also want to protect the safety of one party, and I will never do anything to leave the people fleeing for their lives." ”

Cao Ming knew that after the ancients attacked the city, they always liked to let their subordinates loot, so the people would suffer heavy casualties, so she wanted to defend the city and wait for help.

Dian Wei saw that Cao Ming had made up his mind, so he didn't continue to persuade him, and now he could only try his best to do a good job of defending.

Dian Wei arched his hand and said: "As long as Niangniang gives me five hundred elite soldiers, I guarantee that the enemy will not set foot in the city!" ”

Cao Ming nodded and said, "I can give you five hundred elite soldiers, you go to my eldest brother Cao Ang now, and the armor soldiers in the city are currently under his control." ”

Cao Ming thought that it would be good if he could really block it, but unfortunately there were only 2,000 elite soldiers in the city, how could he be able to block the attack of more than 50,000 people.

Cao Ming didn't think about letting tens of thousands of young people in the city go into battle, just because they were untrained people, it was okay to let them throw a few stones on the city wall, and once they went to the battlefield, they would be no different from cannon fodder.

The armor of ancient soldiers had a certain weight, and people who were not trained would not be able to adapt to it, and as for the use of cold weapons such as swords, it was a blessing to be able to keep their hands on it.

As for long-range weapons such as bows and arrows, the difficulty of using them will be higher, and it would be good for ordinary people to shoot arrows for the first time, of course, even if they shoot out, they are only a few meters away, and they will not achieve the effect of killing and injuring the enemy at all.

At this time, there was already chaos outside the county, and people came to the city one after another to take refuge, but fortunately, there was enough food in the city, and there was no need to worry about running out of food for half a year.

"Hurry up, everyone, the rebels are coming!" Standing in front of a village, a chief commanded a large number of people to take refuge in the county town of Shanyang, and his men did not forget to burn the grain in order to prevent the rebels from receiving additional supplies.

Although the people are distressed that the food will be destroyed, they are more afraid that the rebels will get food, and food is the first place in the war, and an army without food will defeat itself without a fight.

One of the armorers complained: "It's a pity that so much grain is burned, I knew that there was an enemy attacking, how good it would be to hide!" ”

Shi Chang sighed and said: "Who can think about the inside of the nest, it's not cheap for the people outside, I don't think this county town can be defended." ”

"The enemy cavalry is coming, everyone run!" One of the armorers in charge of the lookout shouted, and he saw a large number of cavalry on the road in the distance, and it must not have been the cavalry of the rebels.

"Run!" The soldiers didn't care about maintaining order now, so they spread their legs and ran with the flow of people, and the dozen or so of them were not enough for each other to stuff their teeth.

In the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion, Cao Ming didn't have the heart to study gunpowder, and the most important thing now was to gain time, so far he could only take a risk.

Yan Ying said with a sad face: "The slave maid heard that the rebels are besieging the city, if they really attack it, then what can we do!" ”

Cao Ming sighed and said: "My noble status should be fine, as for you, you are likely to be ravaged by thieves, even if you can survive by luck, you will become a plaything with the army." ”

Yan Ying collapsed to the ground after hearing this, and then cried: "The slave will go and kill herself with poison, and I hope that the mother will take care of herself!" ”

Cao Ming comforted Yan Ying and said, "Don't cry! I'm kidding you, and nothing will happen with me. ”

"You" Yan Ying wanted to kick Cao Ming twice, it turned out that her words were lying, and she cried for a long time.

Cao Ming instructed: "You hurry up and prepare a fast horse, I have something urgent to use now, remember not to tell my eldest brother." ”

Yan Ying said with a puzzled face: "Now that the rebels have besieged the city, what is Niangniang going out of the city to do, is it possible that she is going to the enemy camp." ”

Cao Ming nodded and said: "It is the vanguard of the rebels who are besieging the city now, if we can persuade them to defect, I believe it will buy us a lot of time." ”

"You're going to die, I won't let you go!" Yan Ying blocked Cao Ming's way, not wanting Cao Ming to walk out of the lobby.

Cao Ming pushed Yan Ying down hard, and then said, "If I can't come back, you really have to drink poison." ”

Cao Ming is also helpless now, and when the enemy's main general is in place, the army's morale will become stable, and there will be no room for negotiation at that time.

At the east gate of Shanyang County, the soldiers guarding the city saw the rebels outside, and they all felt fear in their hearts, and they looked at a large area of black pressure in the past, not to mention more than 10,000 people.

Cao Ming rode to the city gate and said, "Hurry up and open the city gate, I have to go out now to persuade them to surrender, and it will be too late later." ”

"No!" The soldiers immediately obeyed the order to open the city gates, believing that Cao Ming could turn the situation around, after all, Cao Ming had performed many miracles.

When the rebels saw a woman coming out of the city, they all wondered if all the men in the city had fled, and only the women were left to guard the city.

Cao Ming rode slowly to the front of the formation, and at the same time clenched the saber in his hand, of course, this was used as a last resort.

The partial general of the commander of the army smiled: "Is it that all the men have run away, and now there are only women and children left, just so that the uncle and I will enjoy it!" ”

Cao Ming ignored the partial generals, but dismounted and said: "You soldiers may not recognize who I am, in fact, I am the queen mentioned in the notice, and what you are going to attack now is my home." ”

The hearts of the soldiers were suddenly full of surprise, and what they said was about eradicating the traitor Cao Cao, how could it become an attack on the queen's house again.

Cao Ming continued: "I know that you may be dissatisfied with the state pastor, but the new farming tools used in your home and the new system that is beneficial to the people are all manufactured and approved by the state pastor, and I promise you that your children will study with the children of the scholars, and even get the same official position!" ”

"Nonsense, someone will take it for me!" The general has no bottom in his heart, and it will be bad if she continues to talk about it.

None of the armorers did anything, they were all listening to Cao Ming's speech, which could change their fate.

Cao Ming arched his hands and said: "Now Yuzhou Mu has sent troops to help me quell the rebellion, as long as you are willing to break away from the rebels, I will not hold you accountable, if you insist on attacking the city, then please step on my corpse in the past, of course, the new system will also disappear, your children will always be ordinary people, and they will be trampled under the feet of the children of the Shi clan for life, is this what you want?" ”

"I don't want it!" The soldiers all felt guilty in their hearts, Yanzhou had entered a stable life, and now they were involved in the civil war.

The general was angry and said, "The Lord has treated you well on a fair day, but do you all have to oppose him?" ”

Cao Ming sneered: "Chen Miao ate my Han court's money, and he should have helped the Han family to protect the country and the people, but now he is in cahoots with the three family slaves, and the chickens and dogs in Yanzhou are restless, and this kind of rebellious person will not die well sooner or later!" ”

"You slut dare to insult the lord!" The general's face was already purple, and he knew that Cao Ming was here to disturb the morale of the army, and he should have been killed at the beginning.

Cao Ming pointed at the general and said: "You are a little general who dares to speak disrespectfully, didn't your parents teach you etiquette, righteousness and shame, and they won't let me take it down!" ”

"No!" The four armorers immediately pulled the general off his horse and escorted him to Cao Ming, apparently determined to follow her.

Cao Ming pulled out the sword in his hand, quickly cut off the left ear of the general, and the general covered the wound and howled.

Cao Ming took back his sword and said: "Go back and tell your lord, this Yanzhou is not yet his turn to spread wild, if you want to save your life, you must confess your guilt and surrender the law as soon as possible!" ”

"The villain remembered!" The general twisted his body and climbed on his horse, and quickly ran towards the rear camp, he was afraid that he would be killed if he retorted.

"Open the gates!" Seeing that the matter had been successful, the armor guards immediately opened the gate to welcome Cao Ming into the city, as well as the enemy armor soldiers who returned to the Shunzhou capital.

At this time, the leaders of the rebel army were waiting for good news, but the partial general who did not want to lead the army was injured, and brought back a shocking news.

The general covered his ears and said, "Your Excellency, the former army rebelled just now!" ”

Chen Miao patted the wooden case and said: "10,000 people fight a city defended by 2,000 people, not to mention that they rebelled before they were captured, and someone dragged this useless thing out and cut it down!" ”

"My lord spares his life! Spare your life! ”

The general screamed and was carried out by the two armor soldiers, and now the people around him are worried about whether the next person to die will be himself.

Lu Bu stood up and said: "This must be Cao Ming's ghost, that girl has always been scheming, wait for me to personally lead the troops to attack the city." ”

Chen Gong dissuaded: "Now that Shanyang County has increased by 10,000 armor soldiers, it will be difficult to capture it again, and now we can only attack Cao Cao, because his rear is empty now, and he must not have time to prevent us from attacking, as long as Cao Cao can be defeated, then Yanzhou will be the general." ”

Chen Gong thought that he would definitely be able to capture it by attacking fiercely, but it would take a lot of time to do so, and the price he would pay would be a lot.
