"Hahahaha......"

Facing Wei Tao's questioning, it only caused a burst of laughter from Cao Cao, Cao Cao obviously did not answer Wei Tao's interest, and only said directly after a burst of laughter.

"Ziyu, if you have the ability, you can directly attack this city, if not, don't say more!"

After speaking, Cao Cao went down the city wall directly, and he didn't want to talk to Wei Tao anymore.

Looking at Xuchang, where the city walls were thick, Wei Tao frowned slightly, even if he didn't need to ask, Wei Tao knew that with a momentary manpower, it was impossible to defeat Xuchang.

And looking at Cao Cao's posture, it is impossible to go out of the city anyway.

Even Wei Tao felt like a mouse pulling a turtle for a while-there was nowhere to start.

"Your Majesty, Xuchang is strong, it can't be done from the outside, it can only be able to cause internal turmoil, otherwise Xuchang must not go down."

At this moment, Zhou Yu stepped forward and said to Wei Tao.

"There are many big families in Xuchang, even though Cao Cao's majesty is undiminished, how can he not leave a way back for his family? His Majesty made people make a loud noise outside the city every day, and at the same time shoot books in the city with arrows, and then go out with cavalry, occupying all the real Yanzhou counties and counties, leaving only one lonely city. In this way, even if it is a strong city, it can only be attacked! ”

"If you have enough time, that's all right, but what if you don't have enough time? Gong Jin will not remember that the reason why our army sent troops at this time is not precisely because Xuchang City is empty at this time, and the Wei Dynasty occupies several states after all, and this is the case in order to do everything in the world. Is there really so much time for us to attack Xuchang slowly? ”

Wei Tao smiled bitterly, and Zhou Yu was silent after hearing this. Zhou Yu didn't know about it. It's that Zhou Yu doesn't want Wei Tao to risk arrows in order to be able to capture Xuchang.

After all, in such a situation. Only as the general of the main army, he went out to the city to command the siege in person, and there was such a glimmer of possibility, with high morale to take Xuchang.

But what Gong Jin said is also true, now that Cao Cao has made this situation. But the trend of strength and weakness will not change, and those wealthy families will definitely not be without consideration, as long as it takes a long time, they will definitely fall to our dynasty. As for the Cao Chun army, Gong Jin is giving me an order. Lu Boyan must delay it in Yangzhou, and at the same time send an order to Wei Yan. Order his troops to hoard Wancheng, and if Cao's army retreats, he will be ordered to attack and kill. Siege point reinforcement! ”

Now, Wei Tao is not the same as before, and when considering things, he gradually changed from a general to an emperor, although he knew that the first line of attack only hoped, but in the end he chose to obey Zhou Yu's Jianyi, and did not mean to attack Xuchang.

This is not that Wei Tao has become cowardly, but something that must be done as a son of heaven.

As Wei Tao's order was handed down, there were people shouting outside the city every day to persuade him to surrender. And according to Wei Tao's orders, someone shot all kinds of situations directly into the city.

In such a situation. Although there is no shortage of grain and grass, the whole Xuchang still became very panicked, if it was not for Cao Hong to find out in time, and personally send troops to move, always monitor the whole city, even if there is any riot.

"Hoo ......"

Breathed a long sigh of relief, Cao Hong is also extremely tired these days, in fact, although Xuchang is firm and indestructible, Cao Hong does not dare to be negligent.

Cao Hong didn't understand Cao Cao's decision, and he didn't understand why his brother made such a decision.

But Cao Hong is very loyal to Cao Cao, it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, as long as he does what his brother says.

Although Cao Hong is indeed very greedy for money, he still distinguishes the importance and will never damage Cao Cao's interests because of some wealth, that is, at this time, Cao Hong has already killed several people who are ready to move, although this will be resentful, but Cao Hong will definitely not let him act wantonly.

"Report! Enlightening the bonus, His Majesty urgently summons the general to the palace! ”

Although he had just inspected the city, when he heard that it was Cao Cao's summons, Cao Hong did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately entered the palace to meet Cao Cao.

"Zilian, are you here? You've been following me for a decade or two, aren't you? If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known when I would have died. ”

As soon as he saw Cao Hong come in, Cao Cao suddenly let out a long sigh, as if he was looking at Cao Hong, as if he was not looking at Cao Hong but fell into memory, just so silently.

"Think about it carefully, the most impressive thing is the tiger prison, when Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an, coerced the people of Luoyang, the princes of all parties did not dare to go, I chased it alone, but was ambushed by Lu Bu by that Li Ruruo, and finally it was a big defeat, if it wasn't for Zilian to cross the river with me on my back, I would have died at that time, how could such a great cause be achieved?"

"Majesty!"

Hearing Cao Cao say this, Cao Hong's heart suddenly felt a sense of foreboding, and he couldn't help but cry out.

Cao Cao's words are really the same as those of a dying person.

Although the shape of the Wei Dynasty is now unfavorable, in Cao Hong's view, there is no chance of recovery, and there is no need to be pessimistic.

"Zilian, there are only you and me here, you don't have to be like this. I'm your brother, don't you know me? Ordinary people say: the high place is not cold, and only when you are really in the high place can you really understand why the high place is not cold. ”

Cao Cao waved his hand, directly suppressing Cao Hong's words, but said with a smile.

"Don't you dare that since I have stood on this high place, how can I be afraid of the lonely cold? Zilian, do you know why I summoned you to the temple alone? ”

Speaking of the last words, Cao Cao's expression had become normal, so that Cao Hong did not dare to slack off.

"Hong doesn't know."

"Then do you know why I'm like this?"

Cao Cao didn't answer and asked again.

"I don't know, but if the eldest brother has a life, Hong will definitely swear to death to do it!"

"Now I have something to do with you, but do this, I'm sorry for the country's society, I'm sorry for the ancestors and ancestors, and the clansmen will despise it in the future, and Qingshi will only scold for it, are you willing to do it?"

Hearing Cao Cao say this, even with Cao Hong's resolute heart, he couldn't help but gasp, but Cao Hong was indeed loyal to Cao Cao, although he was shocked in his heart, but he still replied quickly.

"Brother has a life, Hong must do it for the eldest brother, even if he is trapped in the reincarnation of the underworld and will never be reborn, he will not regret it!"

Cao Hong's voice can be described as cutting gold and iron, sonorous and powerful, without too much hesitation.

This is Cao Hong.

"Good! Very good! I knew that Zilian, you must be like this! Even if I, Cao Cao, failed you, you will never fail me! ”

Hearing what Cao Hong said, Cao Cao immediately laughed out loud, halfway through the laughter, his expression suddenly retracted, and he stared at Cao Hong tightly.

"What I want you to do is very simple, that is, surrender Wei Tao, open the gate of Xuchang City, and let him in!"

"What!"

Rao is Cao Hong was prepared, and at this time he couldn't help but be surprised, this result was really shocking, but Cao Hong quickly came back to his senses and hurriedly asked.

"Brother is trying to deceive me? I'm afraid that Wei Tao won't fall for the trick, so let others do it. ”

It's not that Cao Hong doesn't dare to take risks, but Cao Hong knows his identity, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win Wei Tao's trust, even if he does the trick, Wei Tao will not take it lightly, and in the end it will only make the plan fail.

"This is not a fraudulent surrender scheme, I am asking you to really surrender Wei Tao, surrender the Liang Dynasty, open the gate of Xuchang for the Liang Dynasty, and completely surrender, are you willing?"

Cao Cao shook his head slightly, and then said to Cao Hong with a smile.

"Although you are greedy for money, you can also be said to have a good way to make money, even if you are not in charge, there will be no shortage of money in your hands. In the future, if you are not the patriarch and grasp the power of the Cao clan, it will be the luck of the Cao family, and only in this way can you ensure the longevity of my Cao clan. ”

"This ...... This ......"

Cao Hong finally understood why Cao Cao was so loud, but this incident also had a great impact on him, and he couldn't deal with it for a while.

"I had already made up my mind when I decided to be the king of Wei. Zilian, you can be regarded as a general who can be in charge alone, and you are talking to me, even if you can win the previous battle, how long can we wait for the dynasty to last? If you really fight for a long time, I am afraid that if the world can be peaceful, it will be the day when the Cao clan will be wiped out. ”

Seeing Cao Hong's expression, Cao Cao didn't know that he was shocked in his heart, and he said it slowly at the moment.

"There is no dynasty of eternity, but there is a family of eternity, since I, Cao Cao, as a member of the Cao clan, should be worried about the Cao clan. What's more, really, I also have a great impression of what Ziyu did, if so, then my Han clan will be able to survive forever, and I will live up to my loyalty to the Han. As for the infamy that it bears. Ha ha...... The national thief Cao Cao! The national thief Cao Cao! If the world is insulted, how can it hurt me at all? The finch knows the ambition of the bird! ”

Hearing what Cao Cao said, Cao Hong couldn't help but be moved, and looked at Cao Cao in surprise, he could naturally know whether Cao Cao was really what he said, and it was because he knew that Cao Cao was really saying what he said, so he was only moved.

"Zilian, are you willing to accept this task?"

Cao Cao didn't say anything more to Cao Hong, but just looked at Cao Hong seriously and asked.

"I only entrust this matter to two people, Zi and he are already in response to me, leading the elite under his command is in Yangzhou, and when Xuchang falls, he will immediately lead the troops to surrender. The other person is you, would you like to do it for me?

"My brother would rather give up his own name to achieve great things, and also protect my family, how can I Cao Hong not give up this false name for my brother? Please rest assured, I will ensure that my Cao family will prosper forever and will not fall into the prestige of my brother! ”

Cao Hong's eyes were full of tears, and he kowtowed to Cao Cao.

"My brother will die with the wish of all my brothers!" (To be continued......)
