Chapter 393: Pengcheng Attack and Defense

In the end, Yuan Shu was moved by Chen Gong's words. Chen Gong's words were not wrong at all, if Lu Bu really wanted to fight to the death, although he was sure to resist Lu Bu's madness, he would definitely suffer heavy losses. And he suffered heavy losses, and he absolutely couldn't face the tough Cao army, so he could only withdraw his troops.

For Cao Cao, he eliminated Lu Bu's main army, which undoubtedly added a lot of benefits to Cao Cao's crusade against Xuzhou. And for himself, there is no benefit at all. Especially, even if Cao Cao gets so many benefits, he will definitely not thank himself. After Cao Cao took Xuzhou, the next step was to crusade against himself. After all, among the many princes, their own strength is still relatively weak.

And if Cao Cao and Lu Bu are allowed to fight for both loses, the next thing is the time for their own fishermen to profit. At that time, both Cao Cao and Lu Bu will have a great loss of strength, and they will have the ability to wave their troops to pacify Xuzhou in one fell swoop, double their strength, and make their goals easier to achieve.

After several discussions, the two tentatively agreed on an armistice. The agreement stipulates that Yuan Shu will begin to withdraw his troops from now on, and he will not be able to crusade against Xuzhou for half a year.

This unanimous agreement has no binding power on the two of them. Chen Gong couldn't be clearer about this. However, the only thing that made Chen Gong feel relieved was that he was finally able to withdraw his troops with peace of mind. After all, without Yuan Shu's restraint, he could retreat safely.

When there was no result in the battle of Xuzhou, Yuan Shu categorically would not attack him. Because he needs to consume Cao Cao's strength through himself, after all, Cao Cao's strength is strong, and all the soldiers under his command are extremely brave, so that people dare not face his soldiers easily.

Back at the camp, Chen Gong let out a long sigh. Although Chen Gong felt disdainful of Yuan Shu, after all, he was also alone in the enemy camp. Although he was in Yuan Shu's camp, he was very calm and calm, but when he returned to his camp, the strings that had been taut were released.

Chen Gong approached Lü Bu and handed Lü Bu the armistice agreement he had signed with Yuan Shu. After Lu Bu saw it, he was naturally overjoyed. As for Chen Gong's performance, Lu Bu was also very satisfied. After all, breaking into the enemy's base camp alone is not something that ordinary people can do.

Next, Lu Bu began to prepare for the withdrawal of troops. Now the battle of Xuzhou is imminent. Cao Cao's soldiers divided into two routes and attacked Xuzhou City. One route was led by Cao Cao himself, and now this army has been overwhelmed, and in just a short time, it has swallowed up the land of one of its own counties.

On the other hand, the 40,000 army led by Zhao Fei was defeated in Pengcheng and was blocked by Gao Shun outside the city and could not advance.

In this regard, Chen Gong did not feel the slightest surprise. Although Zhao Fei is resourceful and fruitful. But Gao Shun is not Lang's name. He was able to be the No. 1 military general under Lu Bu's command, and naturally had the ability and wisdom above ordinary people.

Although Gao Shun is not famous, his strength does not need to be insisted on at all. It is precisely because of this that Chen Gong Gao Shun is in the most dangerous place, because he knows that with Gao Shun's ability, it must be more than enough for him to defend Pengcheng, after all, strength determines everything.

However, even though Gao Shun is highly capable, his opponent is Zhao Fei, a very feared figure. For Zhao Fei, Chen Gong still knows a little about him, he seems to have appeared out of thin air, mysterious and abnormal.

He is only a native of the Eight Dou Academy, and now Cao Jun is so strong, he has a very important relationship with this person. As long as he led the troops to fight, Cao's army would not have any defeats. He is like the god of war, leading Cao Jun to victory and victory.

Such a terrifying person, even if Gao Shun can't hold on, he is also in danger of being taken over. After all, no one knows what conspiracy is brewing in Zhao Fei's head, and this conspiracy alone may make a city change hands easily.

Just when Chen Gong was worried about the war in Pengcheng, Gao Shun in Pengcheng was also very worried about this. Because he didn't know what kind of medicine was being sold in Zhao Fei's gourd.

After Zhao Fei led the army to Pengcheng, he had no intention of attacking the city. He only surrounded the four city gates, and did not attack Pengcheng for several days.

Gao Shun somewhat didn't understand this, because he didn't know what Zhao Fei's purpose was. And since he didn't know Zhao Fei's purpose, Gao Shun naturally didn't dare to act rashly. Of course, Zhao Fei's failure to attack the city also made Gao Shun feel somewhat relieved, after all, his purpose was to hold on to Pengcheng.

Just when the soldiers in the city had the same idea as Gao Shun, a drum suddenly broke out in the Cao army's barracks, and Gao Shun and the guards in the city were suddenly frightened. When Gao Shun ran to the city wall in a panic, he found that Cao Jun did not have any signs of attacking the city at all.

Seeing this, Gao Shun's heart couldn't help but sink. He seemed to already know what Zhao Fei's purpose was.

But even if Gao Shun knew, he didn't know how to crack Zhao Fei's move. As the saying goes, the real is virtual, and the real is virtual. Zhao Fei's purpose was to use this to drain the physical strength of the defenders in the city and make them tired and tired.

However, if you really follow this understanding, it can be dangerous. After all, no one knows whether Zhao Fei's every attack is true or not. If Cao's army really attacked the city, but he thought it was a feint, then he might lose the battle without any ability to turn over.

Faced with this almost insoluble situation, Gao Shun was really at a loss. And since this day, Cao Jun has not had such a thing happening. Moreover, such a thing is not just happening at one city gate, but at all four city gates.

Under the harassment of Cao's army, many of the defenders of Pengcheng were a little tired. After all, they defend the city and belong to passivity. They can only defend passively, which restricts their movements. And in order to make the defenders in the city always fearful, Zhao Fei mixed these real sieges with many feints.

Because of these real sieges, all the defenders did not dare to slack off on Zhao Fei's every attack. Each time, they attacked as if Cao Jun was real, but every time, they were disappointed. Because, nine times out of ten, Zhao Fei made a feint.

In the face of Cao Jun's attack, the most headache is Gao Shun. For such a headache, Gao Shun really didn't know how to change it. The attack of the Cao army has exhausted the soldiers defending the city, and the current Pengcheng defenders are all a little top-heavy.

In Zhao Fei's camp outside the city, Zhao Fei was talking with Cao Jun's soldiers. The results in the past few days have been very good, and under their own attacks, the defenders in the city have obviously lost a lot of energy.

Of course, Zhao Fei's attack on Pengcheng was only the first step in the whole plan, in addition to making Pengcheng's soldiers tired, Zhao Fei also used this to probe the weak force of Pengcheng's garrison. After discovering the whole Pengcheng by himself, the next thing will be much simpler. Another point is also very important, under the leadership of Zhao Fei, the moat outside Pengcheng City was also filled by Zhao Fei.

The days passed day by day, and for the guards of Pengcheng, this day was like a year. The Cao army outside the city is really hateful, and because of their existence, they have been living in fear.

And what Zhao Fei wanted was gradually mastered and matured, and at this time Zhao Fei knew that he had been trapped in Pengcheng for a long time, and the next thing was to take Pengcheng instead.

Knock knock~~ There was another rapid drum sound, and the defenders on the wall of Pengcheng didn't know how many times they had heard such drums. From the initial fear to the current habituality, Pengcheng's soldiers have entered the stage of sublimation.

But this time the drum sound was different than before, when the Cao army attacked all over the mountains, the defenders of Pengcheng found that this time the Cao army looked different than before. This time, all the soldiers of the Cao army seemed to be dying, and they were surging towards Pengcheng frantically.

In the rear, looking at the soldiers fighting bloodily on the front line, Zhao Fei's heart couldn't be calm for a long time. Whether the war is right or wrong, such thoughts kept tumbling and tumbling in Zhao Fei's mind.

Whatever it is for, war is exchanged for the lives of soldiers. Without the sacrifice of the soldiers under his command, pacifying the world is just empty words.

Not enough, now is not the time for a woman's kindness, Zhao Fei hurriedly shook his head, and then continued to stare at the frontline battlefield. After all, the changes on the battlefield are only in a blink of an eye, and what he has to do now is a lot, and he doesn't have so much time to sigh.

Because the guards on the city wall reacted half a beat slower, this made the already brave and unusually brave Cao Jun even more like a fish in water. In addition, due to the interference of the Cao army on the Pengcheng garrison in these days, the Cao army was even more overwhelmed.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Fei nodded with satisfaction. What I have done these days is not useless, and today's battle shows how much of a role the foreshadowing of the previous days has played. As the saying goes, sharpening knives is not wrong for woodcutters, and it is a very real portrayal in front of you.

After the victory on the city wall began, Gao Shun lay down for a while. It's not that he wants to lie down, it's really that Gao Shun's body is a little unbearable. In the past few days, Gao Shun didn't play until he fell asleep very late, and in the morning, he woke up early.

Such a toss, even if Gao Shun is an iron man, his body is a little unsupportable. And the soldiers under Gao Shun's command were very concerned about their commanders, so everyone joined forces, and then Gao Shun had a good rest.

And in the face of such a result, Gao Shun could only accept it gladly. After all, this is a piece of kindness from the soldiers under his command, how can Gao Shun refuse. Although he is strict in leading troops, it does not mean that there is no human touch.

But not long after Gao Shun lay down, there was a burst of fighting, which made Gao Shunteng do it at once.
