Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Arrival of the Soldiers
PS: I'm sorry, the update is late, okay, no more nonsense, the update is sent
Time flew by, and a few more days passed, and the rain finally began to lighten. Seeing this situation, Du Chen's mood was much better. But there is one thing that makes Du Chen unhappy, that is, Jia Xu's physical condition is still not improving. In the past few days, Du Chen has often gone to see Jia Xu, but Jia Xu has been in a coma, which makes Du Chen a little worried. Jia Xu's physical condition in the past few days is not very good, and he is very weak, no matter how the military doctor treats him, he can't see much improvement, after all, Jia Xu's injury is too serious. It is not easy for a military doctor to be able to save the life of the lord Jia Xu. "My lord, I have tried my best, but I still can't cure this person." The military doctor came to Du Chen's side and whispered. Du Chen nodded with a heavy heart, and then said: "You are not to blame for this matter, whether he can live or not depends on the will of heaven." Du Chen said very helplessly, things have come to this point, and Du Chen is helpless. After all, he had done his best, if Jia Xu also lost his life for this, Du Chen would have no choice. Du Chen shook his head helplessly, and then walked out of the tent with a heavy heart. Not long after leaving the tent, a soldier came to Du Chen's side. The soldier came to Du Chen's side, bowed down and said, "My lord, the scouts have found General Xiahou's army, and General Xiahou is leading the army towards here. After listening to the scout, Du Chen nodded. Finally found the army of Xiahoudun. The torrential rain lasted for so long that Du Chen lost contact with Xiahoudun's army, and Du Chen sent many scouts in response. Fortunately, he finally found Xiahoudun's army. The heavy rain that had been falling for a month finally stopped, and the sun, hidden behind the dark clouds, finally broke through the envelope. The light was revealed. Looking at the long-lost sunshine, Du Chen also showed a long-lost smile. The sunshine seems to have really brought good luck to Du Chen. Because in the past few days, Jia Xu's physical condition has finally improved a lot. According to the military doctor, although Jia Xu is not awake yet, his physical condition and there is no danger. However, when Jia Xu will wake up, the military doctor does not dare to guarantee. In addition to Jia Xu's physical condition, Xiahoudun finally led Cao's army to join Du Chen. After converging the Cao army, he ordered all the soldiers to make corrections, after all, although the rain had stopped, the flood had not yet receded. And. The heavy rain for nearly a month made the weather extremely cold, which made many of Cao's soldiers infected with wind chill. Since he was sick, how could he fight, so Du Chen ordered people to take care of their bodies first, and after the flood receded, Du Chen led the Cao army of more than 100,000 people to slowly move towards Wancheng. In Wancheng, Zhang Xiu looked at a few of Jia Xu's guards with a straight face. At this time, he had already learned that Jia Xu had been captured by Cao Jun. And life and death are uncertain, which suddenly makes Zhang Xiu sad. Jia Xu is the most trusted strategist under his command, and he is also the first strategist under his command, so losing Jia Xu definitely costs him half his life. After all, his current situation is all dependent on Jia Xu. "The military advisor asked Er to wait for me to sue me, and I want to embroider the surrender of the Cao army?" Zhang Xiu asked with a calm face and a slightly low voice. To know. Zhang Xiu's calm expression was very terrifying, after all, he had also been in a high position for a long time. Naturally, he has a temperament that ordinary people don't have. Several soldiers trembled a little and said, "That's what the military advisor said, and the military advisor said it." The Cao army is powerful, and the enemy general Du Chen is very shrewd, so the only way out is to surrender to the Cao army. After listening to the soldier, Zhang Xiu was silent. Then Zhang Xiu nodded, and let a few soldiers go down to rest, while he began to meditate in the room. Without Jia Xu to give advice next to him, Zhang Xiu looked a little confused. After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiu finally made up her mind. If Jia Xu is safe and sound, then he will surrender the city, but if Jia Xu is killed, then he will lead the Wancheng army and people to fight to the death. At the beginning of the war, Zhang Xiu ordered someone to notify Liu Biao, but although Liu Biao sent troops, it was only a symbolic garrison of Xinye, and then there was no movement. Zhang Xiu also knew that Liu Biao was sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, and if he failed, he would withdraw his troops, but if Cao's army was defeated, then Liu Biao would definitely not let go of the opportunity to beat the water dogs. You must know that this Cao army is the main force of the Cao army, and if it can be disabled, the Cao army will not be able to go south. In this regard, although Zhang Xiu was very angry, he was helpless. After all, he has no way to ask Liu Biao to do anything, although the two forces are allied, but the interests are at the forefront, and the so-called alliance is just a joke. In this regard, Zhang Xiu urged Liu Biao many times, but Liu Biao's army stationed in Xinye was unmoved, and finally Zhang Xiu also lost confidence in Liu Biao. In the past few days, the news has been coming, as the Cao army is approaching, Zhang Xiu also began to mobilize the soldiers of the city, before getting the exact news of Jia Xu, he will definitely defend Wancheng, even if he dies, he will rely on Wancheng to consume a large number of soldiers of the Cao army. On this day, Cao's army finally approached the city. After Zhang Xiu received the news, he took the guards to climb the city wall of Wancheng. Through the city wall, Zhang Xiu looked around, and saw the heads of people covering the sky and the sun in the distance, and the dense Cao army continued to drive towards Wancheng. In this regard, Zhang Xiu on the city wall was very shocked. Although he himself is also a lord, he has never seen such a spectacular picture. You know, that's an army of 50,000, that's enough to cover the sky. After leading the troops to Wancheng, according to the usual practice, Du Chen did not rush to attack the city, but ordered the army to surround Wancheng. However, although Du Chen has tens of thousands of troops, he is not as persecutive as Wancheng. After all, Du Chen didn't want to attack, so he didn't feel too panicked like Zhang Xiu in the city, Du Chen asked Xiahou Yuan to guard a city gate alone, and he guarded a city gate. Surround three sides and surround three sides, leaving only one side, the reason why Du Chen did this was not to let Zhang Xiugou in the city jump off the wall in a hurry. But after Zhang Xiu understood Du Chen's intentions, he ordered someone to block the gate that Du Chen did not guard with sand and stones, so as to prove that he wanted to defend Wancheng. Of course, Du Chen didn't know about this news. Under Wancheng, Du Chen was stationed for several days, and he never attacked Wancheng. But I can hold on for a few days, but how can I stand it after a long time. After all, he has an army of 50,000, and just consuming grain and grass is a headache for Du Chen every day. Helpless, after a few days of silence, Du Chen finally couldn't bear it anymore, and then he ordered all the soldiers and horses to come to the city. Zhang Xiu received the news as soon as possible, and immediately put on his armor and walked to the city. Zhang Xiu has also been very anxious these days, to know how he can sleep well with hundreds of thousands of troops surrounding him. So when Zhang Xiu got Du Chen to lead his troops, he hurriedly came to the city wall. On the city wall, Zhang Xiu looked at Cao Jun under the city, worried in his heart. The Cao army under the city wall was majestic and extraordinary. On the other hand, the soldiers on the city wall do not have much momentum. The two soldiers fought each other, relying on the momentum on their bodies, and their own soldiers were all imposing, which made them how to fight. Under the city wall, Du Chen was also distressed. Jia Xu has not sobered up until now, and he can't continue to drag on, so in desperation, Du Chen can only lead his troops to attack the city. "It seems that my arrival will still have some butterfly effect." Looking at the tall walls of Wancheng, Du Chen couldn't help but murmur. "What are you talking about, sir? Dian Wei, who was next to Du Chen, didn't hear Du Chen's words, and suddenly asked. "Ignore it, just talk to yourself." Du Chen shook his head and replied, then looked towards Wancheng again. Then Du Chen waved his hand and motioned for Dian Wei to step forward. Dian Wei pulled the reins and stopped not far from the wall of Wancheng, and then heard Dian Wei shouting at the top of his voice: "Listen to the people in the city, if you are already surrounded by my 200,000 army and there is absolutely no room for survival, why don't you quickly go down to the city and surrender, my family can still hold your life." Don't look at Dian Wei, who doesn't usually talk much, but his roar is definitely full of confidence, so that people who are far away can hear Dian Wei's roar. Hearing Dian Wei's roar, the soldiers on the city wall all moved a little. Although Dian Wei is a little fake, the 50,000 Cao army is what he saw with his own eyes. Moreover, the first military general and the first adviser in the city were all injured by Cao Jun. Therefore, all the soldiers have no momentum. Zhang Xiu also listened to Dian Wei's roar, and was silent for a long time without speaking. Zhang Xiu has the heart to resist to the end, but whether anyone under his command can really think the same as himself, after all, everyone wants to live, and no one is willing to sacrifice for no reason. After looking left and right, Zhang Xiu shouted at the top of his voice: "It's okay to surrender if you want to embroider, I heard that your Cao army captured Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, the military division of embroidery, if Lord Taiwei can release the embroidered military division, Xiu will surrender the city." Hearing someone on the city wall reply, Du Chen was a little helpless. It's not that Du Chen doesn't want to put it, the problem is that Jia Xu is still in a coma, and he doesn't know when he will wake up, so how can Du Chen put it, even if he puts Jia Xu in a coma, what's the use. Dian Wei came to Du Chen's side and asked Du Chen in a low voice what to do, Du Chen also whispered a few words in Dian Wei's ear, and Dian Wei stepped forward and shouted: "It's not difficult to let go of Jia Xu, but how can I know that if I release Jia Xuer, the city will surrender." Seeing that Cao Jun under the city actually questioned himself, Zhang Xiu's mood was a little unhappy. The ancients were the most trustworthy people, and if they spread their treachery, their reputation would be stinky, so Zhang Xiu was naturally very annoyed that Cao Jun did not believe that he had credit. Subsequently, Zhang Xiu shouted loudly: "Since Lord Taiwei can't believe in embroidery, then embroidery has nothing to say, Lord Taiwei can attack the city, embroidery vows to live and die with Wancheng." After speaking, Zhang Xiu turned around and walked down. Since Cao's army was attacking the city on the first day, Zhang Xiu did not take this matter to heart. Although there are not many defenders in Wancheng, and there is not much momentum, with the tall walls of Wancheng, Zhang Xiu still has this confidence in holding on for ten days and half a month. Seeing Zhang Xiu turn around and walk down the city wall, Dian Wei could only return to Du Chen's side in a gloomy manner. Du Chen shook his head helplessly, and then ordered people to start attacking the city. The siege was just a warm-up for the war, so it was just a mutual test between the two sides.
