When the snow gradually increased, there were few pedestrians in the wilderness, and the city gate had been closed for more than a month, and the people were not allowed to go out, so there were no footprints in the snow in the four fields, only the white expanse was connected.

On the north wall of Juancheng, several soldiers kept rubbing their ears and stomping their feet, complaining about the cold of this winter and the thin military uniforms.

Their military fake Sima and Lieutenant Le Jin leaned against the pillar of the city tower, and when they slept for a long time, they turned a deaf ear to the complaints of the soldiers.

The cold wind on the city tower was like a knife, cutting the skin of the guards on duty, and so did Lejin, but he was not afraid of the cold and did not choose a sheltered place to recuperate.

There was no morale in the army, and the complaints of the soldiers did not shy away from this short-looking leader, and he had no intention of asking questions.

Two or three miles outside the city, more than a dozen horses were galloping in the snow.

The sound of the horses' hooves in the snow is very different from what it used to be, much deeper.

Before the soldiers on the city wall could notice anything, Le Jin had already jumped up and said coldly: "Be on guard! ”

This lieutenant was far more intelligent than ordinary people, and the soldiers had already known it, and when they saw his decree, they hurriedly stopped complaining and stared into the distance.

If Lu Bujun comes, it is unlikely to be in this direction, and the weather is cold, so everyone can only temporarily suspend their troops. Listening to the sound of horses' hooves, there are not many to ride, so that Le Jin is very relaxed, and he pretended to be a gesture before, but he just asked the soldiers around him to find something to do, and temporarily forget the dissatisfaction in his heart.

After more than ten horsemen turned around the mountain bag and entered the line of sight, Le Jin saw the faces of these knights at a glance, he was overjoyed, and shouted in his mouth: "Open the city gate quickly!" ”

His own family also hurried down the city wall, and the city gate had just opened. Le Jin squeezed out the door to greet him.

The knights had also arrived outside the city gate, and Le Jin shouted at the leading knight and asked, "Brother Miaocai." How was the trip? ”

Seeing that the other party shook his head gloomily, Le Jin's heart suddenly tightened, and when he was about to ask again, Xiahou Yuan had already said: "Let's see the general speak again!" ”

Le Jin nodded, and busily escorted the guards to find their own mounts, and went to Cao Cao with Xiahou Yuan and others.

Hearing that Xiahou Yuan had returned, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai, Zao Yi, Dong Zhao, Xiahou Xuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Ang, Yu Ban, Lu Qian, Li Quan, Li Dian and others in Cao Yingzhong went to the Central Military Office to participate in the deliberations.

Dong Zhao originally belonged to Yuan Shao. Because his younger brother Dong visited as an official under Zhang Miao, Zhang Miao blamed Yuan Shao with great righteousness, and Dong Zhao was also guilty of the original crime, and ran away, serving Zhang Yang first in history, and then returning to Cao Cao. In this life, Zhang Yang was bullied by Deng Ji so badly that he couldn't look down on it. went straight to Cao Cao. When Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others led Yanzhou to rebel, Dong Zhao wrote to his brother, and Dong Wan abandoned Zhang Miao to Cao Cao, so he still had to be reused.

Li Quan is the son of Li Gan, the general of Cao Cao, and Li Dian is the nephew of Li Gan, because of the rebellion of Lü Bu. Li Gan had been killed in battle, so Cao Cao ordered Li Quan to be the Sima of other departments and lead Li Gan's army, although Li Dian was young, he could also use it.

Wait for everyone to come. Cao Cao Fang motioned to Xiahou Yuan to report the results of this trip, and Xiahou Miaocai said angrily: "Yuan Shao deceived people too much!" A certain to Yecheng. asked for his reinforcements and food, but Yuan Benchu did not allow it, but I persuaded the general, saying that if the general's family moved to Yecheng, he would send the army south to help me wait for Yanzhou! ”

Sending his family members as hostages is to ask his family to be ordered by him from now on, Cao Cao's younger brother Cao Hong roared angrily: "Yuan Benchu has not yet reached the north, so he wants to take me Yanzhou? ”

"In troubled times, everyone has his own desires, but that's it," Cao Cao waved his hand to stop Cao Hong, and said gloomily: "It's normal not to remember the feelings of youth!" ”

At this time, Cao Cao had fallen into the most embarrassing situation in his life: he wanted to attack Xuzhou to seek revenge on Tao Qian for his father, his best friend Zhang Miao rebelled, and the officials and wealthy families below the Chen Palace in Yanzhou followed many rebels, and when he returned to the army, he and Lu Bu were unable to win several battles. Tao Qian died of illness a month ago, and Xuzhou let Liu Bei lead both, and his father's revenge could not be avenged.

Now the Cao army only has Juancheng, Dong'e, Fanxian three cities in hand, but the soldiers are not more than 10,000, this year's Silu drought, Yanzhou also has locust plague, after the army is killed, the grain production is even more insufficient, seeing that the military food will be exhausted, Yanzhou is difficult to take, it can be said that the mountains and rivers are exhausted.

In the end, Xiahou Yuan was sent to Yuan Shao for help, originally wanting to ask for his food, and then fight to the death with Lu Bu in the spring, but Yuan Shao finally refused - unless he was willing to throw all his family and horses into Yuan's original account.

The remaining more than 10,000 people and horses have been short of food, and they can survive until the beginning of spring at most, thinking that it is only because of their whims, Tubian Rang and Xuzhou people have caused his father to die and lose his inheritance, Cao Cao is really disheartened, and can't help but sigh: "Heaven is not with me!" Cease! Cease! Cease! I met at the beginning when I was young, and if my family was there, I expected it to be able to take care of it, and I could use it under his account! Ah Da will lead an army tomorrow and send your mother and younger siblings to Yecheng! ”

The ancestral revenge was not avenged, and the father lost the land, Cao Ang was sad and indignant, and knelt down and cried bitterly: "The child does not want to go to Yecheng!" ”

The Lord is worried and humiliated, and the Lord is humiliated and the Lord is dead. Seeing the appearance of the father and son, the generals were panicked in their chests, but they were defeated today, and the remnants of the army were trapped in a lonely city, but they had no words to comfort them. Although Fu Yuan Shao has the heart of the world according to the land of Yan and Zhao, he has a false appearance, and he can't do anything! With the power of the dragon and tiger, the general can do what he wants? If he surrenders, the general may not be able to get the name of Xiao He, but will be punished by Han Xin's crimes, which will affect the three clans! Although Yanzhou is ruined today, there are still several cities, and there are no less than 10,000 people who can fight! With the general's divine martial arts, the subordinates will do their best, collect and use it, benevolent and prosperous, or the business of the overlord can be profitable! May the general be more considerate! ”

Hearing Cheng Yu's words, all the civil and military forces recovered their spirits slightly, and Xun Yu also responded: "What Zhongde said is very true, please think twice!" A person who voted for Yuan Shao before and then abandoned him and returned to the Ming Gong is really impossible to achieve because of his original ambition and talent, and his name is vain! Although we are lonely and trapped now, if we drum up the spirit of the three armies and strive forward to break through Lu Bu, we may not be able to recover, in order to be the king! ”

Dong Zhao also said: "A certain person has already sinned against Yuan Shao, and he doesn't want to go to Yecheng!" ”

Xiahoudun led a group of generals and said: "A certain one is willing to fight to the death with Lu Bu!" ”

"Ahem! Cough! Xi Zhicai's body became worse and worse, his face turned pale, and after coughing twice, he tried to persuade: "The original is unsustainable, there are still others to ask for!" Looking at the neighbors now, Tian Kai, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shu are not helped. However, there are two strong armies in Deng Ji, Henan, and when they hear that they still have food on credit to the people, they can see that they are rich, and they also hear that they have a deep grudge against Lu Bu, so it is better to send them to beg! If we get their food, our army can fight on its own; If he gets the help of his army, Lu Bu can break it with one blow! The Henan army is elite and outnumbered, and it is not easy to run the land of the two counties, so even if you break Lu Bu, you can't plot against my Yanzhou, how about it? ”

"Zhicai Gaojian! It works! Xun Yu immediately nodded and praised: "Deng Jiliang and the army are not allowed, and we can also fight in Lu Bu!" I only hope that the general will not descend to others! ”

"But to the death, why be afraid of him Lu Bu? Think twice! ”

"A certain ministry is willing to be the forerunner to break Lu Bu!"

"When your husband is alive, how can you be afraid and difficult?" Xiahoudun, Le Jin and other generals were also boiling: "A certain one is willing to fight to the death with Lu Bu!" I hope the general will not descend to others! ”

The eldest son was still kneeling on the ground and crying, none of the civil and military forces agreed to defect to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao really didn't expect it to be so, and after being stunned for a long time, he got up and looked up to the sky and laughed: "Today I know that I am not alone!" Cao Mengde dared to disagree with the will of the monarchs and fight to the death with Lu Bu? ”

Cao Cao stopped the intention of surrendering Yuan Shao, and all the people in the tent were happy, Cao Ang and the others returned to the table, only Xun Yu said: "When the former Yanzhou first accepted the Yellow Turban to descend to the people, he asked for food at Deng Ji, but he was not allowed, only exchanged with the population. Looking at his people without far-sightedness, when they are tempted by profit, they are sent to seek now, and they need permission and heavy profit! ”

The last time Deng Ji took Yecheng with Montenegro, Cao Jun had attacked Bishui Pass, but it was a common thing to divide and merge in troubled times, and he wouldn't care too much about it. Speaking of which, it was Cao Jun who suffered the loss in the attack on Bishui Pass. Therefore, everyone was not worried about this, and only considered promising He Li to Deng Ji to induce him to send troops and food.

Deng Ji Xinde Hanoi has not yet been fully digested, and his army is not enough to expand outward, and he will not want the territory; Money? Even if Lu Bu is defeated and the ruined Yanzhou is recovered, next year may not be as rich as a county in Henan.

After a while, it was still Xi Zhi who spoke: "What Deng Ji lacks, only the army is Mar!" However, our army is also lacking, so it is better to fight him with thieves! Lu Bu's rebellion, Taishan thieves have many responses, Deng Ji from the Yellow Turban, in the thieves have a lot of prestige, if you go to Luoyang, you can say that its army into Yanzhou to help us break Lu Bu, Taishan thieves can be recruited, but also cut Lu Bu's wings! ”

"Good!" Taishan thieves now even the old and weak also have two or three hundred thousand people, their existence is also not conducive to the rule of Yanzhou, if Deng Ji recruits, does not consume his own resources, and reduces the number of people, it can be said that it is a few in one fell swoop, this proposal is not intended to be good, Cao Cao immediately nodded in agreement, and asked: "But who can send an envoy?" ”

This place went to Luoyang, all the way was under the rule of Lu Bu, everyone was still hesitating, Dong Zhao came out and said: "Since returning to the Ming Gong, Zhao has not yet established an inch of work, and now I am willing to go!" I only ask the Ming Gong to send dozens of warriors, pretending to be refugees, crossing the river through Wei County, and entering Hanoi! ”

"If the public is benevolent, it will be done! It's just that Gongren originally belonged to Yuan Shao, so you need to be careful when you travel to and from Wei County! After Cao Cao instructed, Xun Yu said to Dong Zhao again: "If Deng Ji and Tian Feng are willing to send troops and help, Kaichun can attack and harass all parts of Lu Bu, and our army will respond to it!" If it only allows to help grain, then at the beginning of March of the next year, our army should break through Lu Bu, move to Suozao and other counties, and ask Deng Ji to send grain to this place to pay, to be determined in Yanzhou, if the Taishan thief is willing to go to Henan, we should let go! What does Ming Gong think? ”

The latter sentence is to ask Cao Cao for advice. According to Xun Yu's plan, if Deng Ji is only willing to help with food, Cao Jun will have to give up the three counties that are stubbornly defended, break through to the west of Yanzhou to receive aid grain, and then fight with Lu Bu, the loss will naturally be large, but Deng Ji will not get many benefits.

Cao Cao nodded in response to Xun Yu, and said to Dong Zhao: "I look at Deng Mu'an, because he was the old department of the Yellow Turban, and the policy he did was to offend the big clan, no one in the world is willing to make an alliance with him, and the public benevolence will go to it, it can be said that if he is willing to send troops and help with food, Yanzhou is willing to form an alliance with him forever!" ”
