Cao Jun will be surrounded by Xiapi, Xiapi is a first-class city, if it is a strong attack, this kind of tall and strong city is difficult to break in a short time, but Cao Bao, who grew up in Xiapi since childhood, knows that fortunately it is winter, it is the dry season of the rivers around the city, if it is the flood season, Cao Cao does not need to attack the city, directly build an earthen weir outside the city, and a big flood can flood Xiapi.

Recently, Tao Qian is very distressed and irritable, Cao Bao fully understands Tao Qian's feelings, in fact, whoever is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops in the city will not be in a good mood, although there is news that Fang Zhiwen is doing it in Guangling County, but the atmosphere in Xiapi City is still very heavy, Cao Cao outside the city seems to have made up his mind to ignore Guangling, and is bound to take Xiapi first, therefore, Cao Cao's army has not decreased, but the military camp is building more and more, and it is almost surrounded on all sides of Xiapi, this posture looks really terrifying.

The siege of the Cao army was not eager, but very patient to build a soil slope outside the city, and transfer the remote position to the earth slope, so that the range of the Cao army's long-range weapons was slightly superior, and then the Cao army attacked the city wall of Xiapi City day and night, and from time to time also sent cavalry or infantry to advance the attack, inducing the defenders hiding behind the city wall to go to the city, and then kill and wound.

Cao Jun also shot a large number of persuasion letters into the city, and issued a task to let the strangers enter the city to spread rumors everywhere, this trick is actually very useful, the strangers spread rumors, Tao Qian has no way to take them at all, and he can't drive the strangers out of the city, in that case, Cao Cao can die of happiness.

Under Cao Cao's high-pressure situation, people in Xiapi City were panicked.

Tao Qian is an understanding person. Knowing that in this huge Xiapi City, I am afraid that only I am the most unable to surrender. Other people can still be reused by Cao Cao if they surrender, and if they surrender, they can only retire at home if they surrender and don't die, not to mention, Tao Qian and Cao Cao have never dealt with each other.

Therefore, the people around Tao Qian found that Tao Qian looked at him with more and more suspicion and vigilance, and even when he was deliberating, he would ambush sword and axe hands around. This atmosphere made the generals in Xiapi City feel more and more uncomfortable and frightened.

It was in this situation that Cao Bao received a letter from Cao Cao, as for where the letter came from, Cao Bao was no longer in the mood to pursue it, he had so many generals, and relatives or something, who knew who among them had already had a relationship with Cao Cao?

This letter is Cao Bao's younger brother. It was also Cao Bao's henchman Cao Hong, who carefully read the not very long letter, raised his head and looked at Cao Hong, Cao Hong looked back at Cao Bao calmly.

"Second brother, where did this letter come from?"

"Someone sent it to Menzi, and Menzi gave it to me when I came in just now. What's wrong, is there a problem? ”

"Oh, no, it's just a little strange that Cao Cao was able to send in a handwritten letter1

"What's so strange about that. Those Inhumans can easily do it. ”

"Uh, too! The second brother will also take a look. The letter"

Cao Hong took the letter and read it quickly, in fact, what can be the content of this kind of persuasion letter, it is nothing more than a wish to seal the official, plus some obscure threatening words, but Cao Cao is not wrong, if the city is broken, the army enters the city, and the soldiers are in chaos, it will be difficult to ensure the safety of the Cao family.

On the other hand, the credit of taking the initiative to dedicate the city is huge, not to mention anything else, Cao Cao Xu's military position as a general of Yangwu is very attractive, and Cao Bao can continue to be the captain of Xiapi, and even the captain of Peng Guo, the benefits of which go without saying.

"Big brother, Cao Gong's conditions are good! If you want me to say, it's better to descend, now we control the south gate, as long as we open the city gate and let Cao Gong enter the city, we can get a great success. On the other hand, Tao Gongzu, now he has to lay down his sword and axe hand behind the tent even to hold a meeting, how can such a small person compare with Cao Gong? ”

Cao Bao was silent, Cao Hong could see the benefits Cao Bao could naturally see it, but Cao Hong didn't have any worries Cao Bao also worried.

Cao Bao has two concerns in his heart, one is that his family is a family of Xiapi, even if he surrenders, Cao Cao may not trust himself, even people like Tao Qian will show suspicion of his subordinates at this juncture, Cao Cao is probably no exception, not to mention that Cao Cao has no basis of trust in himself, if he betrays Tao Qian again, there is no doubt that he will not be strong in the rudder, therefore, after surrendering Cao Cao, Cao Bao is likely to be secretly descended by Mingsheng and gradually excluded.

The second concern comes from Fang Zhiwen, Chen Deng's example is in the front, Huaiyin has just been demolished, and the Chen family's century-old savings have also come to naught, Cao Bao doesn't want to end up like this

However, now the siege of Xiapi is almost an unsolvable dead end, and Fang Zhiwen has no reason to fight Cao Cao for Tao Qian, even if Fang Zhiwen is willing to fight Cao Cao, now Fang Zhiwen is full of only 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry, and the elite of Cao's army is more than 150,000, which is not a strange army.

Cao Bao is not optimistic about the outcome of this war.

"Second brother, this matter is very important, if it is not good, the foundation accumulated by my Cao family will turn into flowing water, be cautious, be cautious! This matter must not be leaked, and I will make a decision after I think about it.1

"Big brother, this matter should not be delayed sooner rather than later, if it is waiting for Cao Gong to capture the city"

"Hmph, the deep walls of Xiapi City are thick, how can it be easily breached1

"Big brother, I mean, if anyone thinks the same way, we don't want to be left behind! It's too late to regret it. ”

"You mean that this letter was not just given to us?"

"Naturally, if you can give it to us, you can also give it to others.1

Cao Bao is in a hurry now, if it is really as Cao Hong said, someone preemptively opens the gates of other cities, he will be passive, and then it will not be a situation of whether he can maintain his wealth and wealth, but whether he can not be robbed of his family and exterminated!

After thinking about it, Cao Bao gritted his teeth: "That's it, just as the second brother said, I will reply to Cao Gong, hoping that Cao Gong can understand our hard work, not that we are disloyal, it is really Tao Gongzu's suspicion that is too heavy, and it is also that we don't want to be slaughtered by this war1."

"Cao Gong understands the righteousness, and will be able to understand our brother's suffering, even if we take 10,000 steps back, we can go home and become a rich man, it is better than being robbed and exterminated at that time1

"To 1

In fact, Huaiyin has not been demolished, a large number of players are enjoying the fun of destruction, it turns out that the demolition of the city is also very fun, the demolition is good, you can get a large number of stones and wood, the demolition is not good, these things are not, only a ruin remains, so the branch skills of the building are demolished Many people have practiced, and everyone has enjoyed the fun of a forced demolition.

Fang Zhiwen led his troops back to Huaiyin from Yancheng, and Huang Zhong was with Fang Zhiwen, and Yue Xi was with Duan Zhiran along the coast.

Fang Zhiwen naturally will not eat ashes in the dusty Huaiyin City, no, it is now the ruins of Huaiyin City, but set up the camp in the open land in the north of Huaiyin City, it is winter, the northwest wind is blowing, and this is the upper hand.

This time the battle of Guangling was hearty, and the law that Fang Zhiwen could make a fortune was fulfilled again, and Fang Zhiwen and Huang Zhong's camp also became a distribution center for players, handing over tasks, and buying and selling harvests, which was very lively.

However, around Fang Zhiwen's big tent, it was very quiet.

"My lord, according to our intelligence analysis, Xiapi may not be able to hold out for a few days1

Fang Zhiwen frowned, and said with some regret: "Seeing that it is the New Year, I thought that I could have a quiet New Year, this Tao Qian is not very angry1."

"Hehe, I heard that the knife and axe hand was ambushed behind the tent when Tao Qian had a meeting, in this strange situation, it would be strange if there was no civil strife! And now that Cao Cao has issued a mission, it's really easy for Inhumans to go to the city to make trouble1

Fan Guowei said with a smile, with more contact with Fang Zhiwen, Fan Guowei and others found that Fang Zhiwen was very easy-going most of the time, and he was extremely ruthless on the battlefield, and if he made a mistake, he would be severely punished, but usually he was very kind, and his speech was also very lively, and he even felt like a player.

"Oh? Didn't Tao Qian block the city gate? ”

"Where to blockade, these gates are guarded by the Xiapi clan, give some benefits and go in."

"Therefore, no matter how strong the city is, it will be breached from the inside.1 Guo Jia pretended to conclude.

Fang Zhiwen smiled: "The human heart is the strongest city wall, otherwise it would be said that the city is united for peace1."

"It's easy to say, but how can it be so easy to do?" Tai Shi Ci pouted disappreciatively.

"General, what's my next move?"

Fang Zhiwen glanced at Long Yun who was asking, his eyes turned to Guo Jia, Guo Jia smiled: "Of course, I took this opportunity to attack Ling County, I heard that Ling County has gathered a lot of refugees now1

Huang Zhong also smiled: "There are more refugees and more militias, it's not easy to fight, I heard that Chen Deng is desperately building defense facilities." ”

"Hansheng made a mistake, we went to fight Ling County, and Hansheng went to capture Quyang, which is still Tao Qian's territory, but when you get there, it is estimated that they will change the flag, just take it."

Huang Zhong, Fan Guowei and others all looked at Guo Jia in surprise, Guo Jia's command was always unexpected, but under Guo Jia's command, the battle always became much easier, but it didn't highlight the role of the general.

"This is my lord, and you only have 12,000 men."

"Han Sheng rest assured, we are not going to attack the city, but to contain it, Han Sheng, you have to take Quyang as soon as possible, and then move westward, we will contain Chen Deng in Ling County in order to induce Cao Cao to come to the rescue, and then we need you to attack and besiege from behind."

Fang Zhiwen explained with a smile, and Huang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.

Fan Guowei and the others exchanged a look with each other, and they all saw the excitement in each other's eyes, it seems that this battle of Lingxian is very worth looking forward to, not to mention anything else, just that his 12,000 cavalry in Lingxian to contain nearly 100,000 cavalry in Lingxian is already a very interesting thing, if it can still be Cao Cao's reinforcements, it will be even more than expected.
