The last Han and Wei wars were developing towards a predetermined trajectory, the 100,000 army led by Liu Jing, the king of the Han Dynasty, refused to fight, and dragged the main force of the Cao army led by Xiahoudun in Gaoyi County, Changshan County, and the 160,000 army led by Zhao Yun and Wen Ping immediately surrounded the city of Yedu, and at the same time, the 50,000 Han troops killed by Fukou also rushed to Yedu under the leadership of Liu Hu and joined the siege of Yedu.

The 80,000 Han troops led by Huang Zhong and Gan Ning were deployed in the Handan area north of Yedu, responsible for intercepting the main force of Cao's army to return to Yedu.

At present, there are still 30,000 Cao troops in the capital of Ye, they are all newly recruited soldiers more than a month ago, known as the new army, commanded by Xiahou Mao, the son of Xiahou Xuan, although Xiahou Xuan did not accept Guo Huai's construction yì, leaving Zhang Liao to defend the city, but he also knew that his son's ability to command was insufficient, so he appointed Zang Ba, who was good at defending the city, as a deputy general, and at the same time left the strategist Xin Bi to Xiahou Nan.

After a month of intensive training by Zhang Liao and Zang Ba, the 30,000 Cao army is no longer as scattered as at the beginning, and the equipment is advanced, all of them are regular Cao army equipment, looking from afar, there is still a bit of murderous momentum, but the elite trained and the elite soldiers honed by the war are two different things, in the face of the real war, at the moment of life and death, the recruits can easily withstand the psychological pressure and collapse.

At this time, the Cao army at the head of the city looked at the dense ant colony of Han soldiers under the city, 200,000 troops surrounded Yedu, the camp tents were overwhelming, there was no end in sight, all the Cao soldiers were afraid, and their hearts were retreating, their families were all in the city, but they joined the army for a few stones, and now that the food has arrived, can you still expect these Cao soldiers to keep their promises and stick their lives on it?

In the first corner of Dongcheng, dozens of Cao soldiers are gathering together to whisper, a young Cao soldier is painting to tell everyone about what he has seen and heard in Chang'an, "I'm just a tavern guy, but I can earn 7,000 yuan a month, 60 yuan for rice, I can earn 10 stone of grain a month, 120 stone a year, and I still have money to go to the Qinglou, drink a glass of flower wine, etc., and live a happy life!" ”

"Is Chang'an that good?" A big black urn said the urn airway.

The young soldier suddenly became anxious, "I'm a bastard to lie to you." ”

"It should be true!"

Another soldier whispered: "My uncle is also in Chang'an, he wrote to say that Chang'an is very good, let my father go, my father said that it is difficult to leave the homeland, and I joined the army, hey!" I knew that I would go to Chang'an, and I don't know if I would survive this time. ”

The young soldier lowered his voice and said, "Don't be stupid, let's run away when the battle starts, take off our armor and hide home, who knows who!" ”

"That's right, if you die anyway, you will die in vain, and you can't enjoy a good life, so it's better to run away and wait for a good life."

The crowd agreed, and the desire to escape took root in their hearts.

On the other side of the city wall, there are also soldiers inciting Cao soldiers to give up resistance, don't work for Cao's life, to save their lives, these people are the scouts of the Han army in the city, there are more than 100 people, they are in the city, in the barracks, in the street patrol team, spreading rumors everywhere, breaking the morale of the Cao army, encouraging the soldiers to take advantage of the chaos to escape, more people say, Cao Jun's military spirit gradually began to waver.

Although Xiahou Nan is not a gentleman, he can also study and practice martial arts, but compared to his father Xiahou Xuan, he is indeed much inferior, not brave enough, inexperienced, although he has learned a lot of strategies, but he has never been on the battlefield, just a kind of paper talk.

However, Xiahou Nan is also relatively hardworking, patrolling back and forth at the head of the city with his entourage soldiers, checking the deployment of defense, all the defensive deployments are planned by Zang Ba, and Xiahou Nan gives orders, and he also knows that his ability is insufficient, so he is almost obedient to Zang Ba's various constructions.

When he walked to the Dongcheng Tower, a soldier from behind chased him and shouted: "General Xiahou stays!" ”

Xiahou Nan reined in his war horse and turned around and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"General Zang has an urgent matter to discuss with the general!"

"Where is General Zang?"

"At the North Gate!"

Xiahou Nan turned his horse's head and ran towards the north city gate, Zang Ba was in a hurry to find himself, something big must have happened.

Not long after, Xiahou Nan rushed to the north city gate, and happened to meet the angry Zang Ba, he turned over and dismounted, walked forward quickly and asked, "What happened?" Why is General Zang so angry? ”

Zang Ba pointed to the dozen or so soldiers tied up behind him and said, "There are deserters in the army, and these deserters have been caught by the patrol soldiers. ”

Xiahou Nan was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "How many people escaped?" ”

Zang Ba pulled him aside and said in a low voice, "About a thousand people escaped." ”

Xiahou Nan was suddenly startled, "So much?" ”

"Shhhh The general whispered. ”

Zang Ba lowered his voice and said: "This matter must be concealed, even the pro-soldiers can't say it, it will shake the morale of the army." ”

Xiahou Nan nodded hurriedly, and looked at the bound soldiers again, "Then what should they do?" ”

Zang Ba said coldly: "Behead them on the spot, and warn the soldiers with their heads, whoever dares to run away will be their fate." ”

Although Xiahou Nan felt unbearable, he didn't dare to object, so he had to nod and say, "General Zang will look at it!" I have no opinion. ”

Half an hour later, more than a dozen bloody human heads hung at the head of the city and at the gate of the barracks, warning the whole army that whoever dared to run away would be the end.

The night gradually fell, and suddenly a torch lit three times in a corner of the city tower, and then a person with a letter shot down the city, and the Han army patrol soldiers had already found it, rushed over, picked up the letter on the ground, and immediately returned to the barracks to report.

In the camp, Zhao Yunzheng discussed with Wen Ping and Liu Hu about the siege strategy, Liu Jing only gave them three days, today is the first day, the Han army has not yet begun to launch an offensive, Pang Tong, who was standing aside at this time, smiled slightly: "The three generals don't have to worry, Ye Du is only 30,000 recruits to guard, three days is enough to capture the city." ”

Zhao Yun smiled bitterly and said: "I also know that three days is enough, the key is how to capture the city at the lowest cost, and finally be able to surrender the army without a fight." ”

At this moment, a soldier at the tent gate reported, "Enlighten the governor, there is a letter from the head of the city, it is a letter to the governor." ”

Zhao Yun was in good spirits, hurriedly took the letter, opened it and looked at it, and smiled at the rest of the people: "It was Li Fu who sent someone to send it, and he said that Cao Junjun's heart has been shaken, and we will create a momentum to deter Cao Jun's soldiers." ”

Wen Ping suddenly laughed, "If you want to say that the best momentum is to attack with fire!" ”

Liu Hu also nodded and said: "Use trebuchets to attack, burn the head of the capital of Ye, and scare the courage of the Cao soldiers!" ”

Zhao Yun asked Pang Tong again, "What does the military advisor think?" ”

Pang Tong smiled and said: "You are all famous marshals who stand alone, so you don't need to ask me about this kind of thing." ”

At the first watch, the three hundred giant trebuchets of the Han army began to launch a fire attack on the Yedu City, tens of thousands of barrels of fire oil were thrown on the Dongcheng and the Nancheng head, the Nancheng and the Dongcheng were in flames, the smoke was billowing, the flames engulfed the two city towers, the flames were as high as more than ten zhang, and the smoke was shrouded in most of the Yedu City.

The soldiers and civilians of Yedu City fell into a great panic, and the people living in the south and east cities fled to the north of the city with their children and the elderly, and the soldiers were also terrified, and fled from the city, ran out of the barracks, and fled into the crowd.

The streets were chaotic, the people cried and screamed, the soldiers threw away their armor and ran desperately to their homes, more than a dozen heads during the day could not suppress their fearful hearts, the military heart was shaken, under the instigation of the Han army scouts, the flight of several people caused hundreds of people to flee, and the flight of hundreds of people caused thousands of people to flee, Cao Jun soon formed a huge wave of escape, Zang Ba even killed dozens of people and could not stop the rout of the soldiers, Zang Ba had to throw away the long sword, looking up to the sky and sighing, "This is the sky to destroy Cao Wei!" ”

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Zhi looked at the soaring fire and billowing smoke in a daze, at this time the Tongque Palace outside the north city has been occupied by the Han army, and now the Han army is attacking the city with fire, so that Cao Zhi deeply understands what the end of the road is coming.

Liu Ye next to him sighed and said, "This is what I expected!" Liu Jing used himself as bait to lure Xiahoudun to the north, but in fact, Xiahoudun didn't care about the survival of Yedu at all. ”

Cao Zhi was unusually calm and asked Liu Ye, "Does Ziyang think Ye can't be saved?" ”

Liu Ye shook his head, "This is just a warning from the Han army, if we don't react, they will attack from all sides, I'm afraid that the Ye Palace in the north city will not be able to be saved, and within two days, the Ye capital city will inevitably be broken by the Han army." ”

Cao Zhi sighed lowly, "It's so unfortunate for me to be alone, but to let the people of the whole city be buried together!" ”

Liu Ye wanted to speak and stopped, at this time, Yang En, the leader of Cao Zhi's guards, rushed over and saluted Cao Zhi: "Prime Minister, the defenders have broken out a large-scale exodus, and I heard that more than sixty percent of the soldiers have fled. ”

All the officials present were stunned, and more than sixty percent of them fled, how could Yedu City be able to hold it? Cao Zhi was still very calm, and asked again, "What is General Xiahou's attitude?" ”

"General Xiahou seems to have wavered, and he asked me if the prime minister is willing to hold on any longer."

Cao Zhi sneered, "Is this Xiahoudun's son?" It's ridiculous! ”

Cao Zhi glanced back at everyone, "What do you mean?" Are we going to resist it? ”

Everyone was silent, silently lowered their heads, obviously, everyone didn't want to fight anymore, Cao Zhi nodded, and said to Liu Ye: "Please Ziyang go out of the city to negotiate with the Han army, just say that I am willing to surrender to the Han army, I can die and die for the country, but I hope that the Han army will spare all the Yedu soldiers and civilians." ”

On the tenth day of the first month of the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, the Yedu garrison collapsed under the strong pressure of the Han army, and overnight, 30,000 recruits fled more than 20,000 people, Cao Zhi ordered to surrender, Xiahou Nan and Zang Ba obeyed Cao Zhi's order, ordered to lay down their arms, and led the remaining 8,000 soldiers out of the city to surrender.

At dawn, Cao Zhi held a seal ribbon in his hand, led a hundred officials out of the city to surrender to the Han army, Zhao Yun accepted Cao Zhi's surrender, and then ordered 50,000 Han troops to enter the city to take over Yedu, with the capture of Ye by the Han army, it means that Cao Cao's decades-long establishment of Cao Wei Sheji has finally come to an end.

Only the 90,000 Cao army led by Xiahoudun was still facing off against the main force of the Han army, and the last moment of Cao Wei was approaching.
