Chapter 20: The Siege of Xudu
Quietly stationed in the mountains and forests outside Xu Tian for one night, the army led by Yuan Shang continued to advance towards Xu Du.
In the next few days, the soldiers and horses had already left for the outer city of Xudu, looking at Xudu from afar, Yuan Shang's heart couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
As the temporary capital of the Han Dynasty, Xudu does have its extraordinary and unique features.
The capital city standing in Yuan Shang's eyes is towering into the clouds, the city is tall and has four or five zhang, heavy stones are pressed, the walls are thick, and the momentum is extraordinary.
The ditch below is wide and deep, and the water in the middle is moist and tidy.
There are still a few miles away from the gate of Xudu, look up carefully, but you can also find a fiery red flag on the city wall swaying in the wind, and the flag is embroidered with a black and red-edged gold-edged big characters.
"Han!"
"Childe, what should I do? Forced siege? Zhang Jaw immediately stepped forward and asked Yuan Shangdao.
Yuan Shang shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't be in such a hurry, we are here to scare, and we can't fight with them!" ”
Gao Ran heard this: "What about the child's opinion?" ”
Yuan Shang lowered his head and thought for a moment when he heard this, then raised his head and said: "In this way, five thousand iron horsemen, let's send one thousand to run back and forth among the woods in the north, making him dusty, so that the enemy army mistakenly thinks that we have a large team of men and horses to respond, and the remaining four thousand soldiers are divided into three ways to besiege the city, each waving their flags and shouting at the east, west, and south gates, with a strong momentum, but leaving the north gate all the way empty." ”
Gao Ran didn't react for a while, and said strangely: "Why is there a lack of one of the three around?" ”
Zhang Jaw understood: "Leave the north gate and let Cao Jun's messenger rush out to report to Cao Cao." ”
Yuan Shang smiled when he heard this: "General Zhang is really smart and clever, okay, the two generals immediately split up, preparing to besiege and fight, no, it is to besiege Xudu!" ”
"No!"

Xu Du, Shang Shu Ling Mansion.
Today, as everyone knows, today's Han Dynasty Sikong Cao Cao, suppressed the Yellow Turban, begged Dong Zhuo, cut Yuan Shu, except Lu Bu, descended Zhang Xiu, and chased Liu Bei, when it can be described as a prestige, fruitful results, looking at the world, it can be said that the world's first hero.
However, how many people know that behind this great military exploits, there is another person who has been stabilizing the rear for Cao Cao for ten years, formulating political strategies, handling internal affairs, recommending talents, promulgating decrees, purchasing military supplies, and preparing grain and grass.
It can be said that this person used his back to silently support the splendid mountains and rivers of the Central Plains for Cao Cao, or for the entire Cao family.
At this time, the study room of Shangshuling Mansion was still very busy, Shangshuling Xun Yu pestled his head, leaned over in front of the table and looked through the accounts of this month's grain collection one by one.
For more than ten years, for Xun Yu, the approval of the public all day is already commonplace, and ordinary things can no longer be ordinary.
Especially at this special moment, it is even more necessary to seize the time, and we cannot relax our spirits every moment of the hour.
It is reported that the battle of Guandu is nearing the end, and the battle ahead has developed in the direction of favoring his side, and at this critical moment, he, the leading figure who sits in the rear for Cao Cao, needs to raise the spirit of 120,000 points, earnestly grasp every small item, and not let Xu Du make a small mistake.
Unfortunately, providence often does not come to people's wishes.
"Lingjun, Xun Lingjun!" Xun Yu was frowning and reading the official documents, but he saw an attendant running into the study in a hurry, bowing to Xun Yu: "Xun Lingjun, something big has happened!" ”
Xun Yu's expression changed, this attendant officer has followed him for many years, and he has always been calm and cautious, and what can make him so flustered must be extraordinary.
"What's going on?" Xun Yu asked with a calm brow.
"Xun Lingjun! Big things are not good! Outside the city, out of nowhere, a lot of Yuan troops appeared, one by one, full of murderous spirit, imposing momentum, standing outside my Xu Capital and shouting loudly, as if there was a siege of the city! ”…,
Xun Yu's eyelids jumped when he heard this
It's not too early, it's not too late, it's just this time!
"How many soldiers and horses? Who is in charge? ”
The attendant officer wiped his sweat, shook his head and said: "The north is full of dust, the pennant is swaying, I can't see how many soldiers and horses, the vanguard troops near are all elite iron cavalry, and the handsome banner is written in the big book "Pioneer Officer Zhang Jaw" and "Deputy Pioneer Gao Lan". ”
Xun Yu was suddenly shocked.
"These two are here? The only two remaining two people in the four court pillars of Hebei actually arrived together, it seems that this time it is not good Yuan Jun actually made such a bloody investment for this capture of Xu Du"
"Follow me to the city walls!" Xun Yu waved his sleeves, got up and walked out.
************************
When I arrived at the city tower, I saw that the iron cavalry below had surrounded the three gates, and the soldiers and horses were back and forth, shouting loudly, which seemed extremely arrogant.
Looking at the distance again, there is little smoke and dust, and the sand is flying, as if I don't know how many soldiers and horses are coming bravely towards him, but it seems that there will be no less.
Under the south gate, I saw an extremely handsome young man in silver-white armor, under the escort of a group of iron horsemen, like a star holding the moon, came to the city gate, and shouted at the city wall: "Listen to the Cao army on the city wall, you have been surrounded by our army, and those who know each other quickly and obediently put down their arms and surrender!" Don't let our army start a siege on your side repeatedly, you have been surrounded by our side, and those who know each other should obediently lay down their weapons, otherwise our army will start a siege against you. ”
Xun Yu frowned, looked deeply at the man who was shouting, and had some doubts in his heart.
This man's appearance is good-looking, he seems to have seen it somewhere, but Xun Yu's brain power has always been excellent, and he is known as unforgettable, if he really saw it, it was impossible for him not to remember.
"Who is this young man?" Xun Yu couldn't figure it out.
Heroic eyebrows, a bold nose, a haughty posture, and domineering words
After a while, Xun Yu was suddenly shocked: "Why does this kid look so similar to Yuan Shao when he was young!" ”
