In the blink of an eye, we have entered July, and the general trend of the world has changed again. Cao Cao in the crusade against Lü Bu, the sound of the east and west, leaving Xiahou Xuan, Le Jin, Cao Chun to continue to use troops in Xuzhou, he led the army to suddenly kill Wancheng, appeared under the city of Wancheng overnight, and wanted to blood the shame of last year, for the eldest son Cao Ang, nephew Cao Anmin, and the henchman Dian Wei died in revenge.

Zhang Xiu heard the report, shocked, led the troops out of the city in a hurry to meet the enemy, his general Hu Che'er died in the city, the whole army was defeated, more than half of the loss, can only retreat into the city, according to the danger to defend to the death, while sending people to Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao for help.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Jia Xu suggested to Zhang Xiu to surrender and was willing to go to Cao Ying as a lobbyist. Zhang Xiu had nothing to do, so he had to listen to Jia Xu's suggestion and send him as an envoy to Cao Ying. At first, Cao Cao was unwilling to accept Zhang Xiu's surrender and vowed to kill Zhang Xiu to avenge his dead relatives and Dian Wei.

Jia Xujin said: "Wancheng still has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, 170,000 stones of grain and grass, if General Zhang is based on the city, how long will it take for Cao Gong to be confident that he can break the city?" ”

"My army is attacking the city with all its might, and half a moon can be broken!"

Cao Cao's words are not enough, the siege of about 60,000 people, and half of the defenders in the city are elite Xiliang soldiers, who have been on the battlefield for a long time and have excellent combat ability.

Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled: "I'm afraid that even Cao Gong doesn't believe this, right?" Fang is rising together today, the Central Plains, surrounded by strong enemies, Yuan Shao in the north, and Lu Bu in the east. There is Ma Teng in the west who is ready to go, Jiangdong's little overlord is swept away, and Liu Jingsheng in Jizhou is scheming, all of which are Cao Gong's henchmen......"

"If Cao Gong used troops in Wancheng for too long, I am afraid that Xiahou Dun will be unable to support himself in Xiapi, and if Lu Bu counterattacks, the advantage that Cao Gong established in Xuzhou before will be gone. Liu Jingsheng has been operating in Jingzhou for many years, with fertile land, 100,000 armor, and his strength is not under Cao Gong. Help is coming. Victory or defeat is unpredictable! If the war is protracted, Cao Gong is not allowed to return the capital. If Yuan Shao and Sun Ce take the opportunity to make trouble, I am afraid that the Central Plains will no longer be owned by Cao Gong! ”

Jia Xu said these words exactly what Cao Cao thought in his heart, and after listening to it, he not only respected Jia Xu. Sit up and take notice.

Cao Cao's current troop arrangements are as follows. Xiahou Yuan and Zhong Xuan oversaw 30,000 troops. Garrisoned in the area of Chang'an to guard against the invasion of the Xiliang Corps. Cao Ren led Zhu Ling and Shi Lian, and supervised the army of 20,000. Stationed in the Luoyang area, he confronted Yuan Shaojun across the Yellow River. Xiahoudun, Cao Chun, and Le Jin commanded 30,000 troops to continue to harass Lü Bu near Xiapi.

Xun Yu and Cao Hong led an army of 10,000 to defend the base camp Xuchang. The remaining 60,000 people were led by Cao Cao, who led his generals Xu Huang, Yu Ban, Li Dian, Li Tong and others to use troops in Wancheng, hoping to take the city in one go and pull out the dagger stuck in the heart. All 150,000 or 60,000 people, this is all Cao Cao's current belongings.

If the territory that Cao Cao now controls is like a round heart, then the location of Wancheng is like a dagger inserted into the heart, and it is only about three hundred miles away from Xuchang, if it launches a surprise attack, it can reach Xuchang in three or two days. This made Cao Cao sleep, and if he didn't pull out the dagger stuck in his heart, and wanted to expand outward, it was simply a fool's dream!

Therefore, this made Cao Cao have to solve Zhang Xiu as a top priority, and he conquered Zhang Xiu twice last year.

When the first army arrived in Wancheng, Zhang Xiu surrendered without a fight. Cao Cao easily entered Wancheng, and got carried away and forcibly accepted Zhang Xiu's aunt, Zhang Ji's widow Zou. This annoyed Zhang Xiu, who suddenly launched a sneak attack, which succeeded in killing Cao Cao's nephew Cao Anmin, and besieged Cao Cao's tiger guard Dian Wei, and shot Cao Ang, the son who gave up his horse to Cao Cao.

This fiasco made Cao Cao unforgettable, and after returning to Xuchang to rest for a few months, he made a comeback, intending to be ashamed of his previous shame and confront Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao's coalition forces for the first time, and won a complete victory, but he heard that Lu Bu intended to attack Chen Liu, so he could only retreat. Zhang Xiu led his troops in pursuit, was ambushed, and returned defeated. Jia Xu offered a plan, and he could win by pursuing again, and Zhang Xiu followed it and led his troops to chase again. Sure enough, more than 2,000 Cao soldiers were killed, and a number of grain and grass materials were seized, and Cao Cao did not take advantage of this battle.

Beginning in April this year, Cao's army began to use troops in Xuzhou to attack Lü Bu at the request of Liu Bei. Unexpectedly, Lu Bu was trapped in Xiapi and refused to go out of the city to meet the enemy. This made Cao Cao move the idea of attacking the west, so he left Xiahoudun and others to continue to attack and harass in Xuzhou under their own banner, and led his troops to attack Wancheng by small road, and it was indeed successful in one fell swoop, until the army approached Wancheng for twenty miles, and the scouts in the city found out the news.

There is no danger to defend, Zhang Xiu can only lead the army to fight, the battle is defeated, the general Hu Che'er is damaged, can only retreat to the city to defend, one side to Liu Biao for help, Cao Cao's army successfully besieged the city. But Cao Cao also had concerns, that is, what Jia Xu said, almost every word hit his heart, making Cao Cao's heart pound.

Seeing Cao Cao's heartbeat, Jia Xu said again: "The big husband is competing for domination in the world, there are losses and gains, how can you ignore the overall situation for one or two people?" Moreover, Zhang Xiu and Cao Gong have such a blood feud, Cao Gong can ignore the past suspicions, open mind to accept, in the future, the rumors will spread, Cao Gong's virtue will be praised by the world, and the heroes of the world will inevitably come to vote like a carp crossing the river, so, hegemony can be expected! ”

After listening to Jia Xu's analysis, Cao Cao's mind suddenly brightened, and he laughed and said: "Wen He is really a resourceful person, better than the ovary of Gaozu's time, I don't like Wancheng, but I am glad to have Wen He's assistance!" ”

So, under Jia Xu's rush, Zhang Xiu's surrender was promoted, and in August of the third year of Jian'an, Wancheng was finally owned by Cao Cao, and he successfully pulled out the dagger inserted into the heart. After that, Cao Cao left Li Tong and Ren Jun to garrison Wancheng, led the victorious army, and went to Xuzhou again, intending to calm the east in one fell swoop and compete with Yuan Shao in the coming year.

"Whew...... Cao Cao's movements are so fast? ”

When the news reached Hanoi, Yuan Mai couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't pay close attention to Cao Cao's situation during this time, and he used troops so quickly, "So, it won't be long before Lu Bu hangs up?" ”

"My Zhang Wenyuan, why haven't you come to take refuge yet? Did everything I did before go down the drain? Are you so desperate for Lu Bu? ”

Sitting in front of the desk, Yuan Mai scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously. I remember that the time when Cao Cao flooded Pi may have been around September or October this year. If history is allowed to continue to develop, then there will be a reproduction of the scene of flooding and the death of Lu Bu in Baimenlou. It doesn't matter if he Lu Bu is dead, but my big Zhang Liao was accepted by Cao Cao, which is distressing to death!

Once, I was so close to Zhang Wenyuan, but in the end, I couldn't hold hands......

If that's the case, it's a lifelong thing to regret. Therefore, Yuan Mai decided that no matter what he could do, he would try to get Zhang Liao under his command.

Two thousand years ago in August. The temperature is already very low. The autumn wind kills. After a few days of gloomy weather, it began to rain in the autumn for a few days, and there was no intention of stopping. The autumn rain continues, and Xuzhou Surabaya will inevitably skyrocket. This undoubtedly provided favorable conditions for Cao Cao to flood Pi. It seems that history will continue to move forward along a trajectory.

Yuan Mai hid in the study for several days and thought hard about the best plan. It's hard to sit and lie down. Finally, a flash of inspiration came to mind, and he looked up to the sky and laughed, "That's it." If this is the case, I can take Wen Yuan under my command, even if I can't, I have done my best, I am lucky, and I am lost! ”

Having made up his mind, Yuan Mai summoned Zhou Cang, put on a robe, and took his entourage out of the city in the rain, his whereabouts were secret, no one knew where he went, and he returned to the city in the rain in the middle of the night.

The next day, the rain gradually stopped, and the weather finally cleared, and the people were able to go to the fields to harvest their crops. The fields outside Hanoi are a busy scene, and the people are in full swing to harvest the crops in the fields. This year's wind and rain are smooth, except for Yang Chou's killing of Zhang Yang, there is no other war, and there is finally a good harvest season.

Accompanied by Tian Feng, Tian Chou and others, Yuan Mai rode out of the city to inspect, looking at the yellow and clear grains all over the mountains, he couldn't hide the smile on his face, and this year's military rations were not to worry. With the fertile land of Hanoi, it is more than enough to feed more than 30,000 soldiers, and there is no longer a need to rely on people to borrow food and beg everywhere.

"General Yuan, Tian Taishou, please call the shots for the grass people and others!"

Just as Yuan Mai and his entourage were inspecting, more than a dozen people in white silk clothes suddenly came from the south, came to the horse and knelt on the ground, crying and shouting loudly. The cry resounded through the fields, causing the people in the four fields to stop their lives and cast their eyes on them.

"What grievances do you have to wait, quickly speaking, Tian Taishou and I will definitely make decisions for you and others!" Yuan Mai Lema asked, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.

A white-haired old man cried: "The villain is the common people of Chenggao, I sue Lu Yi, he plundered the army, robbed a lot of livestock in our village, and ...... and tarnished the innocence of the little girl, so the old man risked his life to come to the county town to complain, and asked the general to be the master of the grass people! ”

"Da Dan Koyi, when I was in Yangqu a few times ago, I have raped He Li's subordinates with my subordinates, and I have strictly warned the three armies not to harass the people. As the main general, how can this koji righteous dare to take the lead in committing crimes? I should go to Chenggao camp in person! ”

The furious Yuan Mai Zhoucang led 500 personal guards, angrily rushed to the Chenggao camp a hundred miles away from Hanoi, summoned Koji Yi in front of him, scolded angrily, and reprimanded him indiscriminately: "As the chief general, you don't lead by example, and you take the lead in destroying military discipline, which is really hateful." Come on, give me forty sticks! ”

"What? Want to hit forty? "Koji is angry and blows his beard and glares, and his teeth itch with hatred, are you a boy who has a personal vendetta or is he killing chickens and monkeys?

"Is it okay to have twenty military sticks? Forty is too much! ”

Yuan Mai's eyes widened: "Is there a market in the camp?" Shall you bargain? Forty military sticks, not a single stick can be missing! Say goodbye and say hello: "Someone, call me!" ”

There was already a left and right forward, flipped Koji Yi to the ground, picked up the "crackling" of the military stick, and only beat the Koji general to the point that the skin was open.

"Yuan Maixiao'er, dare to beat me, isn't it just a woman's sleep? What's the big deal, I ...... I'm not done with you! While being punished, Koji yelled loudly, lest the soldiers in the camp would not hear.

After the rod was finished, Yuan Yuan dissipated his anger and returned to Hanoi with the guard battalion. It was the third watch of the night, and I received a report from Kuaima, saying that Lu Yi had led troops to defect to Cao Cao.
