"The soldiers are coming to block, and the water is coming to cover the earth, so it's a big deal to fight with them." Cheng Yu was also very angry when he heard that Dongwu was looking for trouble at this time, and as a strategist, he couldn't help but be angry at this moment.

When Cheng Yu said this, some courtiers were attached, and most of them were people with upright personalities, who had the idea of coexisting and dying with the Wei State.

Seeing that someone supported him, Cheng Yu was naturally overjoyed, so he looked at Yu Ban, the head of the generals, obviously this person's attitude is the most important thing now, because now all the 100,000 troops in the city are transferred by this person.

At this moment, Yu Ban was standing there with frowns, no one knew the strength of the soldiers in Runan City better than him, it seemed that there were as many as 100,000, but now because of the defeat of Cao Cao and Cao Ren, the people's hearts have long been fluctuating, and the army's morale is unstable.

What does a war depend on, the soldiers use their lives on the battlefield, the logistics supply is timely, the commanders make proper arrangements, and the morale of the army is high, these can be said to be indispensable. But now the 100,000 troops in Runan City have long been disheartened because the Celestial Empire is coming, and even Ban can guess that once the Celestial Empire army arrives, I am afraid that there is no need to fight, and many people are ready to surrender. Can such an army win a battle?

Yu Ban disagreed. The current situation is that the Wei army is afraid that there is no possibility of victory in the face of any army with morale. Presumably, it was precisely because of this that Soochow dared to attack Runan City with 200,000 people.

If it were changed to normal times, it would be said that 200,000 people came, that is, 300,000 or even more, with 100,000 people guarding the city, it could hold out for a while, but the current Yu Ban really does not have such self-confidence. Not only no, but he also knew that as long as he fought once, the result would be defeated.

It's just that although he knows in his heart that he really doesn't want to say it in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, this is too much to hit people's self-confidence, so when he noticed Cheng Yu's gaze towards him, he had to say first: "Okay, that's it, I'll go and prepare." ”

Yu Ban agreed, and Cheng Yu was naturally happy. Cao Ang also said out loud at this moment: "Even if this is the case, then we will defend the city with all our might, but we have to see what kind of ability these Eastern Wu troops who want to take advantage of the fire to rob have and dare to attack the allies." ”

At the end of the court meeting, many people returned satisfied, with General Yu Ban's statement, presumably they can live a few days of peace, as for the future, then let's talk about it, isn't there a saying that the boat is naturally straight to the bridge?

Most of the people retreated, Yu Ban and Cheng Yu did not leave, and Cao Ang, the king of the new Wei, did not leave.

There were no outsiders, Yu Ban could finally say what was in his heart, he knelt down on the ground with a plop and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is incompetent and cannot command the soldiers to block the Eastern Wu Army, please punish him." ”

Cao Ang and Cheng Yu were not surprised by this result, obviously they also intended to do this in the scene just now, in order to stabilize other civil and military ministers. It's just that seeing Yu Ban tell the truth, the two of them are still sad.

I think that when Wei was strong, he could have the spare strength to attack Dongwu, and the other party still had to rely on his snort, but how long has passed, and everything has returned, speaking of which, it is really painful.

"General Yu, don't we have a chance at all?" Although he knew that because of the defeat at the front, the morale of the rear army had long been unstable, Cao Ang still asked with a one-ten-thousandth luck mentality.

"Yes, not at all. I can say with certainty that once Soochow begins to attack the city, I am afraid that if we cannot hold it for even three days, someone will surrender, and at that time we will lose the opportunity to leave Runan City. Yu Ban said categorically.

"Oh, what does General Yu mean we should abandon the city now?" Hearing the meaning of Yu Ban's words, Cao Ang was taken aback, but he was already mentally prepared to live and die with Runan City, and he definitely didn't think about escaping.

"Yes." When it came to this, Yu Ban did not mean to hide it, but reached into his arms, took out a holy decree from it, and then got up and said: "Under the holy decree of King Wei, please accept the decree of Prince Cao Ang." ”

Yu Ban suddenly made such a holy decree, which was indeed a bit unexpected, but Cao Ang believed that the other party did not dare to play any tricks in such a matter, even if he could take it out, it must not be true, for this reason, he walked down from the temple, and then knelt on the ground, waiting to receive the holy decree.

Cao Ang knelt down, and Cheng Yu on the side also knelt down, he didn't expect that General Yu Ban still had a holy decree left by Cao Cao in his hand.

"My son Xiu, if this holy decree is taken out, it must be that the Wei State has already been defeated, presumably even the Eastern Wu will also take the opportunity to send troops to blackmail us, hey, it's really feng shui in turn, think that when my Wei State is prosperous, where is there any opponent in the world... Okay, now that we have reached the most critical time, then Wu'er will listen to Gu's words, give up the Wei State, and take your brother Cao Zhi to find a safe place to hide under the protection of the general and Lord Cheng, or you can live incognito, presumably the remaining silver money in the treasury should allow several generations to have no worries about food and clothing. Lonely was defeated, and I did my best, but the destiny of heaven does not belong to me, what I can do now is how to reproduce the Cao family, if there is a chance in the future, I can take revenge, if I don't have a chance, then I can be an ordinary person..."

There were some words of encouragement at the back, which Yu Ban read out together, and after saying them all, he put the holy decree in the hands of Cao Ang, who was kneeling on the ground.

At this moment, Cao Ang had already had tears on his face, and he just glanced at it and saw that this was the handwriting of his father Cao Cao, and he knew that everything could not be faked. What he didn't expect was that his father even came out after the defeat, so doesn't it mean that all this is expected now?

Could it be that my father had long thought that he would be defeated by the Celestial Empire, and he had long thought that Dongwu would take advantage of the fisherman?

At this moment, Cao Ang also had to admit that when it came to foresight, few people could compare to his father, and now that he had an order, he would know where to go.

"General Yu, I want to trouble you to pick up Cao Zhi secretly, Master Cheng, you should also prepare, except for your dearest family, don't bring anyone else, we will leave Runan City tonight." Cao Ang is also a very assertive person, and his decisive character is undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

Even his father is not that Zhang Chao's opponent, Cao Ang knows that he will not be able to beat the Celestial Empire, now he can only listen to his father's words, hide first, and slowly accumulate strength if possible, if there is a possibility, he will also find a chance to kill back again.

Cao Ang had an order, and Yu Ban and Cheng Yu both turned around to do it. They knew that from this moment on, they were afraid that Wei would be removed from history.

The meeting held by the Wei State was soon known to the spies of Eastern Wu and returned to the Eastern Wu military tent in front of Runan City.

In the military tent, Sun Ce, the eldest prince of Eastern Wu, who is known as the little overlord, is here, and he is accompanied by Zhou Yu, the left military division.

This time, taking advantage of the defeat of the Wei army, Eastern Wu made a big attack, and it was just one of them here in Runan City. In addition, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng and Sima Yi led 300,000 troops to Xuzhou Xiapi; Lü Meng, Huang Gai's 300,000 naval army entered Guangling.

All in all, this time Dongwu is to get the benefits of the fishermen, they want to take Yuzhou and Xuzhou into their hands, not to mention entering the Central Plains, but also to consolidate and expand their own strength.

Sun Ce in the tent knew very well the importance of occupying Runan City, because once he captured this place, it would symbolically represent the destruction of the Wei State, so he was very careful in every step he took. Now that he heard that the Wei army was going to make a senseless sacrifice, he looked at Zhou Yu, the left army division on the side.

"Hehe, don't worry about the eldest son, it's just that the 100,000 Wei army without morale is on his own, and it is as easy for us to kill him as it is to kill a chicken. It's just that cutting down the army is not the best policy, and the strategy is the skill of the master, I think we should still have more contact with the other Wei ministers in Runan City, if we can cooperate with the inside and outside, I think the chance of victory will be greater, and the sacrifice will be smaller. Zhou Yu said confidently.

"Okay, I don't know if Gong Jin has a way." Seeing that Zhou Yu came as soon as he opened his mouth, Sun Ce knew that this person must have been plotted a long time ago.

"Haha, what the eldest son said is right, I have already contacted Mr. Liu Ye in Runan City, and he also agreed to open the East City Gate tonight to let us enter the city, now I only need the eldest son to give an order and order the army to move from outside the South City Gate to the East City Gate."

Zhou Yu had already prepared, everything was in his plan, and his plan was also supported by Sun Ce. It was at the third watch of the same night that the east gate of Runan was suddenly opened from the inside, and then the army of Eastern Wu rushed into the city. At the same time, Yu Ban protected Cao Ang, Cao Zhi and Cheng Yu and their families, plus a full 2,000 cavalry left from outside the West City Gate.

That is, after Cao Ang just left, he heard the sound of shouting and killing in the city, he knew that this was the rhythm of the Dongwu soldiers entering the city, thinking that he could enter the city at night, and it was so fast, when someone should be in harmony with the outside, he couldn't help but sigh, presumably this should also be the father who had already arrived, it is hard to imagine, if he did not escape this time, then I don't know if there is no chance to escape.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu did not have much effort to occupy Runancheng, the capital of Wei, and then closed the city gates and began to rectify internal affairs. But what they never expected was that most of the important ministers of Wei were found, but Cao Ang, Cao Zhi, Cheng Yu, Yu Ban and Xiahou Shang disappeared. Upon investigation, it became clear that when they entered the city, these men had left the city by the west gate.
