Chapter 573: Yanyu Xu Yang
As soon as the Cao army reached the city wall, he hurriedly rushed towards Cao Cao, and knelt directly on the ground, wanting to get close to Cao Cao.
"Huh!?" Dian Wei and Xu Zhu snorted coldly when they saw this, and they did not hesitate to block in front of him Cao Cao. They didn't know if this person was the assassin sent by Liu Yao, and if it was true, then Cao Cao was assassinated, then the two of them, as guards, would be to blame.
Immediately, Cao Jun was frightened, trembling, and the words that had reached his throat were instantly blocked. The murderous aura of Xu Zhu and Dian Wei, the two god-killing gods, could not be resisted by a small soldier of his.
"Get out of the way!" Cao Cao waved his hand and said indifferently. He Cao Cao is not a powerless person, coupled with vigilance, where is it so easy to be assassinated, and although he is hostile to that Liu Yao, but I have to say that he often knows a person best, that is, this person's enemy, he Cao Cao also believes that even if he Liu Yao wants to kill himself, he will defeat himself in a dignified manner, and will definitely not use such a small means.
"No!" Immediately, the two of them retreated, but they were still looking at Cao Jun with full attention, their hands were already on the weapon, and if there was any abnormal movement, the two of them would definitely be able to shoot as fast as possible.
After Cao Jun saw these two killing gods retreat, he also breathed a long sigh of relief, the pressure brought to him by these two people was too great. But the next moment, he reacted, and hurriedly took out a token from his arms and handed it to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's face changed, and he took it casually, this token was specially given to Cao Ren before he came out. Something that represents his identity, now this Cao Jun can take him out. It was enough to prove his identity.
After Cao Jun saw that Cao Cao had accepted the token, he took out a letter again. cried and shouted, "Lord Qi, that damn Sun Ce suddenly turned back, General Cao Ren was killed by that Sun Ce and was defeated, Xuzhou City was taken, and now Xuzhou is in danger, please go to the rescue quickly!" ”
"What!" Cao Cao was shocked, his heart was in a hurry, he stumbled under his feet, and almost fell to the ground.
Lu Bu and Chen Gong were completely stupid when they heard this. They never thought that Sun Ce, who they had originally pinned their hopes on, would actually turn back at this time, under this strong contrast, everyone was stunned and speechless for a long time, and for a while, everyone's hearts actually had a feeling of hope shattered and all thoughts were lost. This feeling of having your last hope wiped out can indeed drive people crazy.
The sound of Cao Jun's crying was not small, so that the rest of the soldiers on the city wall all heard what Cao Jun said, and for a while, everyone's faces were shocked, and this Xuzhou was gone. So isn't it fast on their side? I have to say that fear is contagious, and now all the soldiers on the city wall have begun to talk about it. Coupled with the fact that the grain and grass were burned before, the morale of the soldiers in this Wancheng can be said to be extremely low.
I don't know how long it took before Cao Cao reacted. His face changed again and again, because he suddenly remembered that this Cao Jun was caught by that Liu Yao, so how long has it been in between. It's going to be a long time. I'm afraid it's really going to be a lack of skills. But he Cao Cao also forgot a little, even if it was still too late. He also doesn't have half the strength to go to the players.
Immediately, Cao Cao was in a hurry, and stepped forward to grab that Cao Jun. "When did this happen! ”
That Cao Jun was frightened by Cao Cao like this, and stammered, "It's been seven or eight days since the villain was arrested by that Liu Yao......
"Seven or eight days...... Cao Cao was completely desperate, from Xuzhou to Jingzhou, it would take about four or five days for the fast horse, plus these seven or eight days, half a month is enough to do a lot of things, and now Xuzhou may have already changed hands. As for the letter for help that Cao Ren wanted to send elsewhere, it had already been intercepted by Liu Yao. And he, Liu Yao, locked up this Cao Jun for so long before releasing it, precisely because he wanted him Cao Cao to be unable to rescue Xuzhou, and now, it is obvious that he Liu Yao has succeeded.
However, the next moment he Cao Cao found out that something was wrong, and now all the soldiers and horses under his command began to talk about this matter, Cao Cao secretly said that it was not good, if it went on like this, I am afraid that his side would already be in chaos first.
Immediately, Cao Cao did not hesitate to pull out the Heavenly Sword on his waist, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, he slashed to death that Cao Jun with a sword, randomly raised the long sword, and roared angrily, "You traitor, you actually took refuge in that Liu Yao, and came here to spread rumors!" ”
Then he turned his head and shouted to the soldiers under his command, "Don't believe this person, this person must be Liu Yao's spies, in order to disturb the hearts of our army, Xuzhou is now very stable!" ”
As soon as Lu Bu and Chen Gong saw Cao Cao's actions, they knew what he wanted to do, and immediately Lu Bu stood up and shouted at Liu Yao below, "Oh, Liu Yao'er, will you use this kind of trick to sue you, just your little thing, don't want to hit the morale of my army." ”
Sure enough, his Cao Cao and Lu Bu's actions still have some effect in the end, although they can't completely eliminate the suspicion in the hearts of these soldiers, but at least they can be regarded as stable, and there should be no more problems in a short period of time.
Liu Yao listened to the words of Cao Cao and Lu Bu, and smiled ungracefully, but he didn't care much, but shouted at the city wall, "Cao Cao, Lu Bu." This matter is very false, you naturally know it in your own hearts, and you don't need me to talk about it. But if you want to go to Xuzhou to see, if you have the ability, then rush out of my hands. Hahaha! ”
After speaking, Liu Yao didn't wait for Cao Cao's reaction, he directly turned the horse's head and went in the direction of his camp, now all he Liu Yao needs to do is to surround and kill Cao Cao, and then wait slowly.
Cao Cao looked at Liu Yao's back as he left, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, but it quickly turned into a wry smile. How do you rush out? Their eyesight is not as good as that of people, and they can barely resist it by relying on the city wall, and if they go out to fight, it will be no different from looking for death.
But if you don't go out, then Xuzhou will fall, and how will the news spread that Sun Ce is a traitor undercover, but if you don't go out, then how should the guards of Yanzhou, Yangzhou, and Yuzhou know the news. Then Sun Ce will be like a cancer in their territory, according to his identity as an ally to trap people, I am afraid that it will not be long before these three places will have the same fate as Nasu.
He can see it now, no wonder Liu Yao will tell him the news, that is, he has already determined that he Cao Cao can't wear the news at all, so he will be so unscrupulous.
"Ahh Lu Buwan looked at the back of Liu Yao leaving unwillingly, looked up to the sky and let out a long howl, in order to vent the hatred in his heart, he turned around and went down the city wall.
That Cao Cao and Chen Gong glanced at each other, and they all smiled bitterly, this kind of unsolvable situation, no matter how wise the two of them are, then it can't be solved, and now they can only see the moves, and it will last for a day.
Three days later, news came from Xuzhou, just when Tai Shici and Zhou Tai jointly attacked Xuzhou, Sun Ce, who was still in Xuzhou City, suddenly turned back, killed that Cao Ren by surprise, and directly beat that Cao Ren out of Xuzhou City and went in the direction of Yangzhou. At the same time, the three of them joined forces to pursue Cao Ren, and finally captured Cao Ren alive before Cao Ren fled into the range of Yang Zou, and Xuzhou changed hands.
For such a thing, Liu Yao was naturally "kind" to accidentally pass the news into Wancheng.
Suddenly, Nawancheng was a little chaotic again, originally they were half-convinced about the matter of Xuzhou, but now that Li Yao came out again, they became more and more convinced of this matter in their hearts.
However, Cao Cao is still Cao Cao, and he quickly suppressed this matter, of course, the price paid is not small.
Half a month later, news came from Yangzhou again, and Sun Ce fled into Yangzhou under the pretext of Xuzhou's defeat. Wei Xu, the guard general of Yangzhou, naturally had no suspicion and connected Nasun Ce to Yangzhou. On the night of the same day, Sun Ce successfully led his troops to attack the Yangzhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, and captured Wei Xu, who was afraid of death, so he chose to surrender without hesitation, and directly opened the city gate, leading Huang Zhong to lead the troops in, and Yangzhou changed hands.
Naturally, the news was sent to Wancheng again, and there was a mutiny in Wancheng, Cao Cao killed chickens and monkeys, and killed a battalion of 3,000 people, which calmed down the matter.
A month later, Yanzhou changed hands, and Cao Cao's family was captured. Wancheng was in chaos again, Cao Cao was furious, and killed another 10,000 people.
A month and a half later, Wancheng was in a hurry, and deserters began to appear in Wancheng, but they were all suppressed by Cao Cao and Lu Bu one by one. In order to solve the matter of grain and grass, Lu Bu had to order the killing of horses and meat. 30,000 horses became the new ration for the soldiers of Wancheng.
Two months later, Yuzhou changed hands, and at the same time, the grain and grass in Wancheng were in an emergency again, and the original horse meat was all eaten. Of course, there is another thing that can be eaten, but until the real life and death moment, I'm afraid no one will think of it, and no one will really dare to eat it.
This time, however, there was no more rioting, for almost all the soldiers were so hungry that they had no strength and did not want to move.
On this day, the five-way army led by Tai Shici, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Zhou Tai, and Ma Chao all came to Wancheng except for the soldiers and horses left behind. Of course, this is naturally indispensable to the biggest hero of this war, Sun Ce and Sun Bofu. Now in this world, except for Wancheng in front of him, and Yizhou, which can almost be regarded as his own, all of them are under his command, and the end of this war is coming.
