Cao's army retreated, and Yuan's soldiers carried water to wash away the blood stains on the city wall.

The blood stains on the inner walls were washed away, and the black blood remained on the outer walls.

Outside the city gates, several battering rams burned with blazing fire, and the wooden hammers burned to a charred color.

With a "squeak" of wood cracking, the handle of a battering ram broke and fell to the ground.

"Childe." Yuan Xu was looking at Cao Jun outside the city, and a frustrated voice came from behind him.

"Frustrated." Turning around to greet Frustrated, Yuan Xu said: "I am not healthy yet, so it is not appropriate to come to the city to blow the wind." ”

"Cao's army has retreated, and it will not attack tonight." Frustrated, he said: "I wonder if the son is willing to talk to a certain hand? ”

"Frustrated Gong Yaxing!" Wiping the blood stains on the armor, Yuan Xu said: "Wait for a certain to wash off the filth, and then talk to the frustrated man!" ”

Frustrated and left, Yuan Xu also went down the city wall.

When he returned to the palace, he ordered his servants to boil buckets of water, take a comfortable bath, change into dry clothes, and go to the residence of Fu Zhi.

Yuan Xu arrived, and he hurriedly greeted him.

The two of them entered the house after salute, and Yuan Xu found that Fu Zhu had set up the chessboard.

The guest sat down and said in frustration: "Please take the lead in the sunspot!" ”

"The frustrated prince is old, how can he hold the sunspot." Yuan Xu said: "I hope that the frustrated prince will not give in!" ”

didn't shirk, and frustrated the sunspot: "Since that's the case, it's rude." ”

The two of them landed on the chessboard, and at first they were all routine steps, and there was nothing special about them.

Not long after he got down, Yuan Xu realized that something was wrong.

The method is rough, and it can even be said that there are some laymen.

When the chess pieces are settled, they often become angry. Yuan Xu didn't need to spend much effort to surround and remove the sunspot.

More and more sunspots are being removed. Yuan Xu said in surprise: "Frustrated Gong seems to have no intention of playing chess? ”

"Childe is strategic, how can he be unintentional?" Fu Zhu smiled indifferently: "Let's do it and see!" ”

More than a dozen fell again. Yuan Xu found the chessboard layout very strange.

Kuroko has been mentioned a lot, but Baizi has not taken the lead, but has a faint momentum of being suppressed.

Don't dare to be careless, Yuan Xu became more and more focused.

The frustration is still wide open, but Yuan Xu is more cautious than before.

Almost halfway through the game, Yuan Xu said: "The chess road is peculiar, although the offensive is fierce, but he does not have the upper hand, this game must be lost!" ”

"Childe is too humble!" Fu Zhu said: "Playing chess is like fighting, this game is to persuade the son to let go!" ”

"Frustrated and abandoned, but there is no defeat. It's really amazing! ”

"The reason why it is abandoned is because it should be abandoned!" Fu Zhu said: "Just like Puyang, it is useless for the prince to stick to this place in Hebei, why not abandon it as soon as possible?" ”

"We occupy Puyang, and we can still resist Cao Cao." Yuan Xu shook his head and said: "If you abandon it, the Cao army will definitely do its best to intercept it, why should the soldiers be tired?" ”

"Once the Hebei Yuan army arrives, it will be even more difficult for the son to abandon him!"

Looking at the frustration, Yuan Xu didn't say anything.

Needless to say, I understand. He knew what it meant to be frustrated.

"Frustration is ......"

Fu Zhu nodded and said: "Once Guandu is defeated, Yecheng will definitely fall into the hands of Feng Ji and others." Doesn't the son know that Feng Ji has the intention of murder? ”

Feng Ji secretly colluded with Yuan Shang, how could Yuan Xu not know.

When he mentioned the withdrawal of the army, Yuan Xu also realized that it was inappropriate.

"Cao's army is attacking the city very tightly. How can our troops withdraw? ”

"Puyang is a big city, and there is a lot of grain and grass in the city." Fu Zhu said: "Gongzi can order the soldiers to bring a few days of rations, and suddenly kill while Cao's army is attacking the city. ”

"What a clever plan! Although Cao's army is besieging the city. But there were heavy troops everywhere. Wherever he attacks, our army avoids! ”

"The son is strategic, and he is willing to bow to the wind!" Frustrated, bowed.

Cao's army stepped up its attack on Puyang. Yecheng drove a large army.

Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang led 10,000 soldiers and advanced to Puyang at an unhurried speed.

"My father ordered the two of us to come to the rescue. Xianfu ordered the army to slow down, if his father learned about it......" Yuan Xi was a little worried.

Yuan Shang smiled indifferently: "The second brother and Xianxin have never been on good terms, so aren't you also worried about him?" ”

"I just don't want my father to be angry." Yuan Xi said: "In the first battle of Guandu, our army lost 100,000 soldiers and horses, and my father was angry and sick for many days. Now that he has been healed, he is not as good as before, if he is angry with three long and two short, how can he be at ease as a son of man? ”

With a smile hooked at the corner of his mouth, Yuan Shang did not say anything.

His expression made Yuan Xi unhappy.

Frowning, Yuan Xi said, "Why is Xianfu laughing? ”

"So-and-so thinks the same thing as the second brother, so he laughs." Yuan Shang said: "The march is slow, even if my father learns, so-and-so has something to say!" ”

"What do you have to say?"

"Xianxin guards Puyang, the city is high and the pool is deep. Even if Cao's army attacked, it would be difficult to achieve results in three or two months. Yuan Shang said: "Our army went to Puyang, but there was no barrier, and the Cao army only needed to allocate a number of soldiers and horses to disperse us!" It's better to hurry than to wait for Cao's army to attack the city and be tired, and the success may be greater! ”

Yuan Shang's explanation is reasonable, and Yuan Xi can't find anything wrong.

"Cao's army is besieging Puyang, how does Xianfu plan to rescue him?" After walking for a while, Yuan Xi asked.

"The second brother really wants to rescue Xianxin?" Yuan Shang asked in a low voice.

"What do you mean?"

"If you want to save it, then save it!" did not answer, Yuan Shang replied seemingly casually.

Faintly hearing some taste from his words, Yuan Xi was about to ask, but Yuan Shang shook the reins and urged the war horse to speed up.

Obviously, Yuan Shang refused to go too deep, and Yuan Xi didn't want to ask too much.

The army continued to advance at an unhurried pace.

The news of Yecheng's Yuan army soon spread to Puyang.

The city was surrounded by water, and Yuan Xu couldn't get the news in time.

Cao Jun's camp.

Looking at the city wall, Cao Cao's face was solemn.

"Report!" As soon as he rode a fast horse into the barracks, and when Cao Cao approached, the knight jumped off his horse and half-knelt and saluted: "Qi Cao Gong, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang led 10,000 troops and are rushing to Puyang!" ”

Knowing that Yecheng sent soldiers and horses to come to help, Cao Cao's face became more and more ugly.

"Congratulations to Gong Cao!" Xun You arched his hand and said: "Besiege Puyang for several months, and finally the day of breaking the city!" ”

"Why did Gongda say that?" Cao Cao asked.

"Yuan Xianxin and Yuan Xi have never been on good terms, although they are brothers, they have a grudge against their wives!" Xun You said: "When the soldiers came here, Yuan Xi would definitely refuse to save him. As for Yuan Shang, he has coveted Hebei for a long time. Yuan Xianxin is friendly with Yuan Tan, how can he save him? ”

"They are brothers after all!"

"The brotherhood is deep, and I am afraid it will be difficult to find it in the Yuan family brothers." Xun You said: "Duke Cao only needs to allocate a small number of troops and horses to deal with it, in case the Yuan army suddenly attacks!" Let's see how Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang come here, and then make plans! ”

Cao Cao commanded no more than 50,000 troops.

Although the attack on Puyang was successful, the damage must be huge.

Separate troops and horses to deal with Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, once the Yuan army in Puyang City goes to war, Cao's army will be tired of coping. (To be continued.) )
