Outside Nanpi City, Bohai County, Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops besieged the city, if one by one ants went forward one after another, the corpses in front of them were almost filling the moat, but Nanpi City was still strong, and waves of enemies had been repelled above the city.

The battle damage on both sides was terrifying, and the smell of killing attracted the vultures in the sky.

"Lord, you can't fight like this anymore!" Le Jin finally couldn't stand it anymore, and pleaded to Cao Cao, this is simply a meat grinder, a team of 5,000 people will go up for less than two or three hours, it will be gone, Le Jin's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are now less than 100,000, and there are more injuries, and if it goes on like this, this soldier and horse will be abolished.

"Yes!" Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and those eyes were full of killing intent. Although Le Jin was cold, he still held on and looked at Cao Cao, "Lord, if it goes on like this, Nanpi City will be finished without being breached, and our soldiers and horses will be over!" ”

It is a law that the besieging side will always suffer more casualties than the defending side, because the walls act as a strong layer of defense, allowing the defenders to inflict damage on the enemies below.

Lejin's original 500-person personal guard, now there are no more than 50 people, all of them died on the city wall, and even the main general like Lejin has lost so much, you can know the others.

"Hey!" Cao Cao also sighed, he really didn't expect his brother Yuan Shao to be so able to fight, "Lejin, don't attack the city today, let the soldiers retreat and rest for a day!" Cao Cao couldn't bear it, because half of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were the children of Guanzhong, and the children of Guanzhong followed him Cao Cao to Hebei because they could afford him Cao Cao. Cao Cao wants to take them to make contributions, and they can't only go back with ashes in the end.

"Thank you, my lord. Thank you, Lord! Le Jin hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Cao Cao.

"Whew!" Cao Cao shook his head and entered the camp. Outside the city, both sides are cleaning up each other's corpses, the corpses are no longer carried by carriages, carts and carts, the big pit over there is dug by thousands of people overnight, but just like this, these corpses still can't be loaded, they can only be burned down, and now the weather is cold and a little better. If it's hot, it can bring a plague.

"Someone, send me a letter to Miaocai, and ask Miaocai to immediately pull out the camp and come to Bohai County with the army!" Cao Cao said to Lejin, Xu Huang and others under his hands.

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned, let Xiahou Yuan's army withdraw from Fanyang County and come to Bohai County? It's not a matter of sacrificing the basics. Everyone didn't understand Cao Cao's thoughts, and now it was hard to surround the Yuan family in Fanyang County, as long as Fanyang County was taken, it could be said that the Yuan family brothers would be finished, but this Cao boss seemed to be abandoning the original and bringing Xiahou Yuan's army to the end. Then the siege of Fan Yang will not be saved and broken, and it will still be able to be robbed by the Yuan brothers on the road.

"Fan Yang can be lost. This Bohai County must not be lost! Cao Cao said with a calm gaze, then the Yuan brothers told the truth, Cao Cao didn't see them at all in his eyes, they were not a level of opponents at all, if it weren't for the Yangzhou side inserting a jar and transporting a steady stream of weapons and food to the Yuan family brothers, maybe Fanyang City would have been breached.

And now that Yuan Shao has appeared, it is different, Yuan Shaoke has always been regarded by Cao Cao as the biggest enemy in his life, even after winning Yuan Shao, Cao Cao did not relax in the slightest.

Because Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu were a person who was easy to deal with, he would not be Cao Cao's boss, you must know that Yuan Benchu is not the eldest son of the Yuan family, but if he can stand out in the Yuan family, you can know that he is powerful.

Cao Cao is another person, but none of the 300,000 troops can go back, and he will also leave Yuan Shao's life.

"Yes!" The people over there took the order and left, but soon Xu Huang over there actually came back.

"Gongming, have you already sent someone to deliver a letter to Miaocai?" Cao Cao looked at Xu Huang and asked.

Xu Huang's face was very strange, he looked at Cao Cao, and said a sentence in his mouth, "Lord, maybe, maybe General Xiahou Yuan can't come!" ”

"Huh?" Cao Cao frowned, could it be that the Yuan family brothers over there seized this opportunity and caught Miaocai off guard? No, the soldiers and horses in Miaocai's hands don't have to be less than Cao Cao's people, Cao Cao in order to prevent the second son of the Yuan family from counterattacking, but he left more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under Fanyang City, and let the garrison general Xiahou Yuan, just because Xiahou Yuan was calm.

"Bring it!" Cao Cao took the letter from Xu Huang's hand, and he was also stunned at this look.

His eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it, "Miaocai, broke through Fan Yang City?" Cao Cao looked at the letter while looking at Xu Huang over there.

"The last general doesn't know!" Xu Huang also shook his head, he just got this information sent from Fan Yang.

"Quick, quick, send me a letter to Miaocai, let people hurry up, eight hundred miles urgently, I want to confirm the news!" Cao Cao immediately said to the people under his hands, he was a little excited and also had some worries, this excitement is, if this thing is true, then it will be really fun, take Fan Yang City, it can be said that the overall situation of Youzhou has been decided, if Fan Yang City is not taken, then this letter may be a letter sent by the enemy to deceive him Cao Cao, then Xiahou Yuan's army may be dangerous.

"Yes!" Xu Huang nodded and went out again, but soon he came back again.

"So fast?" Cao Cao felt that today's Xu Huang was a bit abnormal, this efficiency was too high, just Cao Cao issued an order, and Xu Huang was done here.

Cao Cao saw that Xu Huang did not come in empty-handed this time, and there was a letter and a shelf in his hand.

"Lord, there is no need to send someone to General Xiahou Yuan!" Saying that, Xu Huang handed over the letter in his hand, and Cao Cao took the letter, although there were only a few sentences on it, but Cao Cao believed in his truth, because it had Xiahou Yuan's handsome seal on it.

Even if Xiahou Yuan was defeated, he would not abandon this thing.

"How so!" Cao Cao immediately got up, a little incredulous. His 300,000 troops were not able to break through Fanyang City, and now he Cao Cao took away the elite soldiers Ma Hu Leopard Cavalry and others, but broke Fan Yang City. Isn't this slapping Cao Cao's face!

"The lord heard that there is infighting among the Yuan family brothers in Fanyang City over there!" Xu Huang said to Cao Cao on the side.

"Infighting? No way! Isn't there still Yuan Xi? "Cao Cao didn't believe in the Yuan family's brotherhood of infighting.

"Yuan Xi?" Xu Huang shook his head and smiled bitterly. The reason why he smiled bitterly was that it seemed that the great credit of this Fan Yang City was about to fall on the Xiahou brothers. Xiahou Yuan is okay, if that Xiahou Chun gets this credit again, I'm afraid he will be embarrassed in front of them again.

"Lord, this second son of the Yuan family is here!" As he spoke, Xu Huang handed over a box in his hand.

Cao Cao took the box, opened it, and his eyes widened, it was a huge human head, sealed with lime. But it can still be seen that this is a dead look.

"Yuan Xi,?" Cao Cao thought a little, although he hadn't seen Yuan Xi, but he could roughly see the appearance, because the appearance of this head was still very similar to Yuan Shao.

Only then did Cao Cao know why this Yuan family brotherhood was infighting, it turned out that Yuan Xi was dead, and listening to the news sent by Xiahou Yuan's people over there, this Fan Yang City was still opened by this Yuan Xi son.

"It's a pity, a talent!" Cao Cao shook his head and sighed bitterly, with Yuan Xi's ability, it would be more than enough to be an official or a general. It can even be said that he is more insightful than any of the generals under his command, and the most important thing is that Yuan Xi is young. It's a pity, it's a pity, such a young and promising person died not at the hands of his enemy Cao Cao, but at the hands of his own brother.

Yuan Xi's head was not obtained by Xiahou Yuan, but was abandoned by Yuan Tan's army when Xiahou Chun was chasing Yuan Tan.

"Lord, do you want to bury this Yuan Xi Gongzi?" Xu Huang on the side asked Cao Cao, after all, the south gate of Fanyang City was opened by this Yuan Xi Gongzi, although this Yuan Xi Gongzi had the idea of letting Cao Cao's army disturb the situation, but he was also a benefactor to say so.

"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded, Xu Huang was about to take it down and prepare for a thick burial, but he was stopped by Cao Cao again, "Not now!" ”

Xu Huang didn't understand what Cao Cao meant.

"Yuan Xi, Yuan Xi, if you really count it, my Cao Cao is still your uncle, since you helped my uncle and I opened the gate of Fanyang City, the gate of this Nanpi City will also be opened by you!" As Cao Cao spoke, he shouted to the people under his hands, "Come on, pass on my military order, and the whole army will be filial!" ”

"Ahhh Xu Huang and the others were completely dumbfounded, what kind of thing is this whole army hanging filial piety? Although the battle in the past few days has been very harsh, no generals in their army have died in battle.

"Just do it!" Cao Cao waved his hand and said to Xu Huang and the others.

Soon the entire barracks of Cao Cao's army began to hang white flags and white strips of cloth.

"Lord, lord, look, look!" Yuan Shao had just returned to the city to rest, and he was shouted by Wen Chou, because the other party's Cao Cao's army was very abnormal.

Wen Chou is a good hand at fighting, but he is not Cao Cao's opponent in terms of playing tricks, so as soon as he discovered the abnormality of Cao Cao's army, Wen Chou's first thought was to wake up Yuan Shao and let Yuan Shao take the initiative to judge.

Yuan Shao's eyes were all bloodshot, and his body was also covered with blood, which showed the cruelty of the battle in the past few days, and when it was fierce, he, Yuan Shao, the lord, had to go to the battle line in person.

Yuan Shao was woken up by Wen Chou, Yuan Shao originally had a trace of dissatisfaction, but after seeing the appearance outside the city, it was completely gone.

"Hang a white cloth and approve a white flag!" Yuan Shao looked at the appearance of Cao Cao's army below, could it be that someone in Cao Cao's army died in battle?

Because this is exactly wearing linen and wearing filial piety, and the whole army is wearing linen and filial piety, which means that there must be generals in the army who have died in battle.

"Will General Cao Cao be killed in battle these days?" Yuan Shao was a little convinced, and asked Wen Chou on the side.

"Lord, I don't know in the city, I only know that since I left the city, I haven't killed the enemy general!" Wen Chou shook his head, although he had two elite heavy armored cavalry in his hands, the Euphorbia and the Xiandeng Battalion, but the enemy also had tigers and leopards to ride, and at the same time, those heavy armored feet were not vegetarians.

"Lord, let's go!" Wen Chou over there is dissuading the lord of his family, although this Nanpi City is strong, it is not a long-term strategy, and it will be broken sooner or later. Now Wen Chou thinks that his lord will give up Nanpi City, and he can completely break out of the siege by relying on the Euphorbia and the first camp, and he can return to Jizhou and Merge with the state after the difficulty. The scholars over there are all looking forward to Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shao arrives, he will definitely be able to get their support. opened the city gate to welcome Yuan Shao, and at that time they had the capital to fight with Cao Cao.

"Let's go?" Yuan Shao was also a little shaken, after all, there were too few soldiers and horses in his hands, and if he stayed in Nanpi City instead of relying on the common people, he would have been attacked by Cao Cao a long time ago.

But after thinking for a while, Yuan Shao still shook his head, "No, I can't go, at least not now!" "Yuan Shao is also a good-looking person, he Yuan Shao lost, but Yuan Shao refused to admit defeat. He wants to teach Cao Cao a good lesson under Nanpi City, and tell him that although I have not been the boss for many years, the boss is the boss, and only if he defeats Cao Cao and recovers the lost face, Yuan Shao will leave Nanpi City.

"Did you send scouts to Fan Yang City for help?" Yuan Shao asked Wen Chou on the side.

Yuan Shao is waiting for Fan Yangcheng's reinforcements, as long as Fan Yangcheng's reinforcements arrive, with his Yuan Shao's ability, he has the confidence to fight Cao Cao.

"It's been sent out, and it's already the fourth batch. But there is not the slightest news! Wen Chou shook his head.

"Humph!" Yuan Shao probably thought of his own rebels, and couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Now Cao Cao's army is dressed in linen and filial piety. It must be the loss of the generals in the army, and the morale must have fallen, and this may be our chance! Yuan Shao said to Wen Chou. I'll go down and rest for a while, and I'll be called later!" Yuan Shao couldn't hold it anymore, his eyes were already bloodshot.

Yuan Shao rested for less than an hour, and Wen Chou called him up again, but this time Yuan Shao did not blame Wen Chou, because it was Cao Cao's army under the city who came to shout.

I saw Cao Cao coming dressed in linen and wearing filial piety, with white cloths hanging on the horses on his body, and hundreds of cavalry under his command walked to the city of Nanpi.

"Does the lord want us?" Wen Chou's side is ready to let the sharpshooters in the army prepare, to see if they can kill Cao Cao under the city at once, if Cao Cao is shot to death, then Cao Cao's army will be leaderless.

"No!" Yuan Shao shook his head, he knew that this Cao Hei fat man was afraid of death, before the action, this Cao Hei fat man was ready to go back, if he could kill Cao Cao at once, how could he Yuan Shao not want to, but if he couldn't die, it was him Yuan Shao, people came out to shout, you secretly released arrows, isn't this a joke.

"Brother Benchu, let's make a truce!" Cao Cao came up with such a sentence.

"Truce, why truce?" Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao below with a smile and said, "Could it be that Meng De is going to surrender?" ”

"Brother Benchu, I can't fight anymore, if I continue to fight, I will die so many people again, woo hoo lament, woo hoo lament, my army is a general, my Han talent, you died so miserably, you are young but you are going to die in the troubled times, you should have entered the court, you should have shown your style in the court, but you died on the battlefield, Ben Chu brother, how can you bear it, let's end the war as soon as possible, and return the world to a peace!" Cao Cao's crying was called miserable, if Xu Huang and others didn't know anything, they would have thought that Cao Cao had killed his father.

"Change the world to a peace? Cao Mengde, what a big hat, you have to buckle it on my head, if you hadn't waved your army here, if it weren't for your ambitions, why would my Hebei be like this, and why would the people of Bohai County be like this! "Yuan Shao is not a lamp of divine oil, and he is-for-tat against Cao Cao over there.

What is the unification of the world, what is the peaceful and prosperous world, these people in Hebei really don't understand, but they know that when Yuan Shao was there, they lived and worked in peace and contentment, and it was the arrival of Cao Cao's army that brought the war to them.

"Cao thief get out, Cao thief is uneasy and kind!"

"Get out, get out!" The common people above the city had no good impression of Cao Cao, plus there were countless casualties in these days, these were all caused by Cao Cao's army, and the blood was deep, how could they have a good impression of Cao Cao's army, roaring loudly over there.

"Hey! The talents of my Han are not serving the country at the border, not guarding the country, but in this internal friction, woohoo lament, woo hoo lament! Cao Cao shouted again.

"Cao Mengde, don't pretend, your generals live and die, that's also because you let them go to the battlefield, and you want your generals to not die, as long as you don't retreat!" Yuan Shao shouted at Cao Cao from the city wall.

"Brother Benchu, that's the hero of my big man, are you so inhuman?" Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao and asked.

Yuan Shao couldn't help but be a little funny. Your general Cao Cao is dead, do I still have to cry Yuan Shao? Your general Cao Cao wants my Yuan Shao's life. He's dead. Yuan Shao didn't let go of his life, and it was good to laugh.

"Today, I Cao Cao Cao Mengde, here, for Youzhou sacrifice, for Hebei sacrifice, for this world, for this Han sacrifice! I am the hero of the Han Dynasty, the history of the assassin of Youzhou, after the fourth and third dukes..."Cao Cao suddenly knelt down towards Tianji over there.

Yuan Shao was still happy at first. But the more I listened, the more wrong it became.

"The history of Youzhou Thorn? The Fourth and Third Princes? Yuan Shao's eyes widened, if he Yuan Shao didn't hear it right, then this person was him!

Yuan Xi, Yuan Xianyi!

"Cao Apu, what nonsense are you talking about! Xian Yi is in Fanyang City, he is alive and well, what are you sacrificing to him here! Yuan Shao was anxious, and yelled at Cao Cao below, you must know what it means to see the truth in adversity, and what it means to see people's hearts over time.

Now Yuan Shao thinks like this. Yuan Tan Yuan Shang, one is his favorite son of Yuan Shao. One is his eldest son Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao thinks that he has not treated them badly, but what did the two of them bring to Yuan Shao in the end!

One usurped the throne and the other seized power, and almost killed his father and asked for his Yuan Shao's life, but Yuan Xi, who was unknown and Yuan Shao didn't care much about every day, has been fighting for the great cause of the Yuan family, instead of knowing about seizing power like his two brothers.

In those days of house arrest, Yuan Shao was also remorseful, and he remembered the bits and pieces of Yuan Xi.

When he was young, Yuan Xi was not treated by him Yuan Shao, he wanted to respect his elder brother, he wanted to let his younger brother, but Yuan Xi was still in no complaints.

Yuan Shao already has a plan, waiting for this breakthrough and a comeback, then the final position will be passed to the second son Yuan Xi, those two rebels, Yuan Shao can't be ruthless, he will let these two rebels at most, one is idle.

But now Cao Cao actually said that Yuan Xi was dead, isn't this a rumor.

"Brother Benchu, Fan Yangcheng, Fan Yangcheng has been accidentally taken down by Miaocai!" Cao Cao explained to Yuan Shao on the city wall. "And being able to win Fanyang City is the credit of Yuan Xigongzi!" Cao Cao told Yuan Shao that Yuan Xi sent people to help Xiahou Yuan open the southern gate of Fanyang City, so that Cao Cao's army could enter the city proudly.

"Impossible, impossible!" Yuan Shao didn't believe it at all, because Yuan Xi has always been a person who focuses on the overall situation, how could he open the southern gate of Fanyang.

"Brother Ben Chu, you can't blame Yuan Xi Gongzi, that's a good boy, he gave his own Youzhou to his two brothers as a safe haven, but in the end, he was calculated by the two brothers, they were afraid that Brother Ben Chu would come back, and they were afraid that Brother Ben Chu would take the two of them under the knife, so they had a black hand to deal with Yuan Xi's child!" Cao Cao looked like he was crying and grabbing the ground, as if he was seeking justice for Yuan Xi.

"Nope. No, no! Yuan Shao has gone from impossible to impossible, which means that he is already believing what Cao Cao said, and it is indeed possible to kill his father and brother with the urine nature of those two rebels.

Their appearance has already frightened them, and under such fear, they want to kill Yuan Xi, so that he Yuan Shao will have two sons, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, as long as he Yuan Shao doesn't want to cut off his children and grandchildren, then he must leave one, or even two people, this is their calculation.

"Hehe, hehe!" Yuan Shao smiled bitterly, what did he Yuan Shao do, God, you have to punish me like this.

"Brother Benchu, it's all my fault, I didn't stop them in time, I didn't save Yuan Xi's child!" Cao Cao blamed himself below, and even slapped himself in public, "Lord!" ”

Xu Huang and others on the side stopped Cao Cao, so he didn't fan.

"incompetent, I couldn't save Yuan Xi, that kid can only give this to Brother Benchu, you brought it back!" Saying that, Cao Cao took out a black box, and that black box was not brought back by Xu Huang.

Cao Cao's subordinates sent the black box to the city, and naturally there was a hanging basket on the top of the city to put it down, and the black box was pulled back.

"Lord!" Wen Chou handed the black box to Yuan Shao.

As soon as Yuan Shao opened it, the whole person was not good, and his eyes were full of blood, "Xi'er, Xi'er!" Yuan Shao exhaled, and blood gushed into his head: "Poof! Yuan Shao didn't hold back a mouthful of blood and spurted out, and passed out in front of him. (To be continued......)
