"Is this Hui Qu trustworthy?"

"Hui Qu Hui Wentong, this person is an evil person from Lang, a former official of the Yuan family, so Yuan Shu once said that this person was the assassin of Yangzhou, before Wu Jing and Sun Ben attacked Jiangdong, it was this person who mediated in the middle. However, this person has some achievements in governance, but he is not at all military, and the situation is in line with the fashion and can be ruled by inaction, but once the situation is reversed, he is caught off guard and panicked. Because of this, he has now been idle and scattered by Yuan Shutou, but he is just a small official in charge of administrative documents in Yuan Shu's mansion. ”

According to what Zhicai said, it is not nonsense that this person is willing to secretly fall to us, but after all, he is Yuan Shu's former official, how can he ignore justice with personal grudges. Besides, he is just a small official now, how can he help our army? ”

"Don't forget filial piety, in the past, he was also the assassin of Yangzhou and commanded the Sun family's subordinates, and it is normal to have dozens of confidants."

"But Jue still thinks that this plan is too dangerous, and he is afraid that the enemy will take advantage of it."

"Xiaoxian's worries are not unreasonable, but Dian thinks that this is already our best opportunity, and as long as what Hui Qu said is true, then now there are only 10,000 horses in Shouchun City, and half of them are young men who are forcibly recruited from the city, and those who can defend with all their strength are only two city gates. Even if there is a deception at the west gate, we can attack the east and north gates with all our strength, so that they cannot correspond to each other, even if the enemy still has all kinds of schemes, our army can also go down in one go! ”

"What Manchester City said is very much in line with my wishes, this is indeed a God-given opportunity, God does not take it, but suffers from it! Pass me on the order! ”

Hearing Cao Cao's decision, everyone immediately stopped arguing and stood up in unison.

"Ling Xiahou Miaocai led 5,000 troops, and immediately followed Yuan Shu to the south. Just entangle the enemy and don't let them escape! ”

"The last general commands!"

"Ling Zixiao led the troops to ten thousand five, and made a feint attack in the north, if you find that the enemy's fighting spirit is not high, you can immediately change the feint attack to the main attack!"

"The last general commands!"

"Xuande Gong, Ximen will be handed over to you. Same as Zixiao's request, if you find an opportunity, you can launch a strong attack without asking for instructions. ”

"If you know it below, you will definitely live up to the trust of Cao Gong."

"Zilian stayed in the camp, and Zhicai, filial piety, and An Min assisted him. can bluff the flag, build siege equipment, and confuse Li Feng and others in the city. ”

"We will live up to the trust of the lord!" ×4。

"I led 5,000 elite soldiers, Wen Lie, Weiguo (Xiahou Jie), and Xu Bokang followed me and entered the city overnight. Li Mancheng and Man Boning will be the queen of the palace. I'm only allowed to rush into the city when I give the signal! ”

"My lord! Although this plan is wonderful, but after all, it is dangerous, how can the lord be in danger lightly! ”

This time it was Man Favor who was in charge of the palace, and after listening to Man Favor's words, even the planner of this strategy, Xi Zhicai, had a little more hesitation on his face, and it seemed that he didn't quite agree with Cao Cao's adventurous move.

"It's okay!" Comrade Cao Cao waved his hand, very much like a hero on the stage. "Li Feng and Le are just two guinea pigs. Even if Yuan Shu is just a chicken and a dog in my eyes, it is no longer worth mentioning, what can I do? However, it was because I was worried that the enemy would also use trickery, so I needed to go out myself. Although Man Cheng is brave and good at fighting, he is weak enough to adapt to the situation and cannot enter the city first. Zilian is smart. It's a pity that I'm impatient, otherwise I don't have to worry about it today. ”

Cao Hong was not angry after listening to Cao Cao's words, after all, he knew his own affairs, and he knew best what his character was.

"And," Cao Cao suddenly retracted his smile. Instead, it was a little dignified, "At this time, Shi Gong Liu and Li Wenda are still in the south, if they don't take Shouchun and don't destroy Yuan Shu, then these two people are also in danger, and Miaocai is also afraid that the enemy will take advantage of it." Therefore, tonight, all the monarchs must work together to sweep away such shameless traitors for Your Majesty! ”

"Oh!"

When Xi Zhicai began to use his strategy, the army led by Cao Cao withdrew backwards as a whole, not only did the new garrison increase more than 30 miles from the northeast and west gates, although it was only a small half a day's work for the cavalry, but it also left enough space, and it was also completely empty of the south gate, putting on a posture of "encircling three and missing one".

Sure enough, not long after Cao Cao set up a new camp, the news came that Yuan Shu took his henchmen to flee Ji Ling, Zhang Xun and others out of the south gate, and Hui Qu, a chess piece laid by Xi Zhicai in Yuan Shu's army, also secretly sent envoys to Cao Cao, expressing his willingness to surrender the city.

It's just like Cao Cao's advisers said, although Na Huiqu used to be extremely beautiful, but now he is just a fairly obvious official in the city, responsible for handling some government decrees and general orders-related paperwork, even if he can still gather some old troops and people who are dissatisfied with Yuan Shu, but the number is obviously unable to compete with the left-behind troops.

Therefore, Hui Qu, who was very self-aware, said that he was offering the city, but in fact, he used his position to dedicate the layout map of the city to Cao Cao, and informed the West Gate of the defense loopholes, and at the same time expressed his willingness to help Cao Cao's army open the West Gate as an internal response, and then capture Shouchun Jiancheng.

But judging from this plan, it seems to be a bit rudimentary, and it can even be said that Cao Cao's way of dealing with it is somewhat rudimentary - although it is true that Yuan Shu has been suppressed to the verge of collapse, no one can be sure that Yuan Shu will do something crazy in this situation, such as abandoning his self-esteem and really shifting the king of the rook with Sun Ce, or something even more crazy.

However, neither Cao Cao nor Cao Cao's subordinates thought that they would lose this battle.

Yes, now Yuan Shu only has a mere Shouchun City left, which can be said to still belong to him 100%, and the other counties and townships in Jiujiang County have either changed their banners or have been infiltrated by Cao Cao's army, but because of some kind of face problem, they barely maintain their reputation as Yuan Shu's courtiers, and this kind of "loyalty" Cao Cao still needs encouragement.

Even if Yuan Shu still firmly controls Shouchun, which has been run by Yuan Shu in a short period of time, the last stronghold of a fortified city, but the interior is still infiltrated by Cao Cao, this Hui Qu is not the first person in Shouchun City to express his willingness to surrender to Cao Cao, of course, it will not be the last, facing Cao Cao who holds the edict of the Son of Heaven, behind him is Yuan Shu, who is declining and becoming more and more manic, as long as people with a normal IQ can make the right choice.

Even Liu Bei, who followed Cao Cao under the edict of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, did not think that there would be other waves in this battle.

Perhaps the eyes of these two heroes have already turned to the land of Jiangdong in the south. Or something else.

The current Yuan Highway is really not worth their eyes.

So, that night, the people were tied up, the horses were wrapped, and everyone quietly left the camp.

Of course. They also had to bypass the various semi-finished siege equipment that were being manufactured, as early as the time when he got the news, Cao Hong had already begun to organize manpower, although the time for a day such as trebuchets and well railings was obviously not enough, but for some simple rushing cars or ladders, it was not a trouble, and for the troops at the north and east gates, it might be able to be used for a while.

In this way, everyone took soldiers and carried instruments. Each was in place, just waiting for a signal from within the city.

The place where Cao Cao is now is about two miles away from the west gate of Shouchun City, which is converted to about two and a half miles in the Han system - such a distance will no longer allow the soldiers patrolling the city to notice the movement under the city, nor will it let some small sounds made by the soldiers in ambush under the city be heard by the soldiers on the city head, and the most important thing is that this distance is not only well concealed, but also can accurately judge whether the lights from the city are the agreed code or just the torches in the hands of the patrol soldiers.

All of them lurked well in their rightful positions, and no one made any superfluous noises, showing a very good prime—except for a few privileged people. It's just that apparently no one will interfere with the whispers of these people.

"Why do I always feel a kind of panic when I look at this city gate?"

"It's too late to say anything. The only thing to do now is to follow the lord and take the city. ”

"But Wen Lie, General Lu Fengxian once said that as a martial artist, the most important thing is to trust your intuition."

"Then Weiguo, are you planning to be a deserter in battle, don't worry. I'm not going to tell anyone else. ”

"So you're going to sue others 'casually', it's been so many times, your language trap can't fool me!"

"Hey, you've become smarter."

"Master Li Shushi once said: 'Even if a fool is deceived more times, he will become smarter', and besides, I am not a fool. So the stupid Wenlie will definitely not be able to escape my eyes this time~"

"So, let's talk about Weiguo, you plan to be a deserter."

"Well, I'm also interested in this, so let me join your chat."

"Whatever, anyway, it's fun to chat, but your voice should be quieter, don't be seen by the lord, the lord's punishment is a trivial matter, if you delay the lord's big event, don't say I didn't remind you." And you don't want to go around talking about me being a deserter or something like Wen Lie, I just think it's weird and uncomfortable. ”

Although Cao Xiu kept giving Xiahou Jie a look, it wasn't just that he didn't see it because it was dark, or he didn't notice it for other reasons, anyway, he was talking to himself there for a long time, but he was talking very happily.

However, as he himself said, the sound was very small, and only three or five people nearby could hear it, and in the distance it basically dissipated into the night sky, and even if it was silent at night, it was absolutely inaudible from the city gate tower two miles away.

It seems that chatting is chatting, and this one is quite serious about business.

"Then what do you say the enemy will do, if there is a deception ahead."

The new voice seemed to be very obedient to Xia Houjie's teachings, and his voice was lowered a lot.

"I still prefer to charge with a spear instead of playing tricks, just like that Zhao Zilong or Uncle Cao Zixiao."

"Then if it is Captain Xiahou and you are the enemy, then how will you trap our army?"

Another unfamiliar voice participated in the discussion, but it also lowered the voice very low, and even changed its voice a little, so that people couldn't hear who the owner of the voice was for a while, but chatting, isn't it just fun.

Of course, it is estimated that only Xiahou Jie will think so, didn't he see Cao Xiu and Cao Wenlie on the side who had already rolled his eyes and didn't say a word.

"Me...... Well, if you ask me that, I can't think of any good ideas for a while, huh...... If it were me, it would probably just be an ambush of some soldiers and horses behind the city gate, I heard that Jinyang has a 'urn city' in addition to the city gate, and it is also a technology transmitted from the Western Regions. Even if the besieging party passes through the city gate, it will not be able to take the city, and will only suffer a greater blow. It's just that I haven't seen what it looks like, and I can't guess what it will look like, so I can't build another small city behind the gates. ”

"Since the great kingdom can't think of a good way, there won't be any trouble in thinking about this battle. Maybe only the Great One will be in trouble. ”

"Wen Lie, are you cursing me to death, I still regard you as my best friend."

"Haha, don't worry, Weiguo, I've always regarded you as my best friend."

"Wen Lie~!"

"So if you die in battle one day, I will definitely bring your body home and take care of your wife in your place."

"Can I kill your 'best friend' ahead of schedule!"

"Huh? It seems that there is movement at the city gate. ”

"Don't try to change the subject, Wen Lie."

"Shh......h Silence, look at the city for yourself. ”

So Xiahoujie was silent. After all, although it is troublesome, Xiahou Jie also admires Cao Xiu very much, since Cao Xuan has already put on a straight face, then in any case, Xiahou Jie also needs to pay attention to the direction of the city according to Cao Xiu's instructions.

If it's the other party's prank, it's not too late to come back and clean him up.

It's just that on such an occasion, Cao Xiu will not make that kind of joke lightly, and the flickering fires on the city's head seem to be very ordinary, but according to the code agreed before. However, he told Cao Jun outside the city that "as soon as the city gate is opened", the city gate will be opened immediately.

Cao Cao doesn't talk nonsense. At the sound of an order, he led the army forward, and just when the surprise attack army was about to reach the edge of the moat outside the city, with a squeaky sound, the extremely strong west gate of Shouchun City slowly fell, although the world behind the city gate looked pitch black, like a fierce beast that chose people to devour, opened its mouth, but it unintentionally proved that Shouchun City had come to Cao Junchang to her heart. The only thing Cao Jun has to do now is to rush into the city and kill it well.

Of course, before rushing into the city, Cao Cao still kept an eye on it. That was to send someone to use a fire-roasted axe to cut the two iron cables used to open and close the city gates, so that the city gates that had been opened could no longer be closed again in this battle.

After doing this, Cao Cao rushed in first, Xiahou Jie followed Cao Cao with a spear in hand, and Cao Xiu and Xu Ding led the elite soldiers along the city wall, preparing to seize the city gate tower and the surrounding city walls, preparing for the entry of the large army.

As a follow-up force, Man Pet also led a small force of hundreds of people to run outside the city gate at this time, looking as if he was going to guard here.

Speaking of which, he also participated in the conversation between Xiahoujie and Cao Xiu just now, and also remembered Xiahoujie's words deeply - of course, this is not because of how heavy the weight of Xiahoujie's words makes him attach great importance to it, but because he originally felt that today's battle was really a bit strange, although in the final analysis, it was Xi Zhicai who acted on Cao Cao's orders, but it was a little too much to think that things would go smoothly or make him feel a little chill from the bottom of his heart.

It was precisely because of such a prerequisite that after listening to Xiahoujie's words, he suddenly regarded this "stupid big black coarse" in his original heart as some kind of bosom friend on Cheng Dù, and regarded it as the most powerful evidence of his thoughts, which naturally strengthened his determination to stay outside in case of accidents.

Anyway, Cao Cao had at least three or four thousand people around him, and in the street fighting, there were not many hundreds of soldiers with him, and there were not many hundreds of people without him.

As for Li Dian, he was not as impatient as the strategist, he still spent his time hiding in the shadows to observe the movements inside and outside the city, anyway, the order Cao Cao gave him was to let him wait for Cao Cao to send a signal to rush into the city, and then he would lead the troops into the city.

Although in Li Mancheng's view, the only possibility is that this trip will be smooth, and the other is that Yuan Shujun has another ambush in the city.

But when he cast his eyes on the city with this thought, a sudden loud noise frightened everyone inside and outside the city gates, but even more terrible than the sound was the sudden fire that suddenly ignited on the deck of the bridge that was both the city gate and the drawbridge, and the city gate that was blocked by countless stones and rolling logs.

"It's not good, it's a trick, the lord is in danger!"

"Mr. Man, get down!"

What Man Chong even more unexpected was that just when he was surprised that the enemy army really had the courage to use their tricks and scheming Cao Jun, a flying fire meteor streaked across the dim night. All kinds of smashed on the bridge deck not far from Manpet's side.

If it weren't for the quick eyes of the soldiers around Man Chong and pushing Man Chong away, even if Man Chong would not have been stoned to death by the attack of the flying stone outside the sky, the huge physical impulse would still be enough to turn his small body, which was just an ordinary civilian official, into a puddle of meat sauce.

"This, this is ......"

As the third "Flying Fire Meteor" crossed, the bridge deck was completely transformed into a "sea of fire" that was difficult for ordinary people to pass through. The originally noisy city walls seemed to have fallen silent - of course, this only meant that the "Spitfire Meteor" would not rage for the time being, but the shouts of killing in the city were still loud and loud.

However, perhaps because they were too surprised and shocked, Man Chong and Li Dian actually forgot their duties, and stared blankly at the night sky that had been rendered with a layer of orange-red halo by the skyrocketing firelight, and there, there were once "flying fire meteors" whistling and streaking one by one.

"Merge Li Xue, is this the means of Merging Zhou Li Xue!"

At this time, Li Dian can already be called gritting his teeth, and I believe that if Li Shushi in his mouth appears in front of him. He will definitely be bitten to death by his teeth.

Although it can't be said to be resounding in the United States, Li Shushi's golden canister cannon is no longer a top secret, after all, as long as there are forces that have fought with Li Shushi, or those forces that have cooperated with the Bingzhou army, whether it is Xianbei people, Yuan Shujun or Yuan Shaojun and Cao Caojun, they are very clear about Li Shushi's "best skills", even if they don't know that the golden canister has become more and more ferocious under the joint efforts of an unscrupulous couple, but they at least know. What kind of weapon was the "Spitfire Meteor" that kept piercing the night sky?

It is no exaggeration to say that the Golden Fire Cannon, which has truly become one of Li Shushi's signatures.

Perhaps it is not an exaggeration to call it the biggest signboard.

It's just that this time, of course, it was a misunderstanding of Li Shushi.

Although the Golden Fire Cannon, it is indeed a super benefit that Li Shushi got from the Treasure Book. But according to the characteristics of the treasure book, there will definitely be corresponding items left in the world, as if Shiny has a weapon prototype, and Red A can only hold a replica, even if the replica held by Li Shushi has the same power as the original, and even through guò's research on the fired cannonballs, the power of the Golden Fire Cannonball is even more powerful than that of the original that can only fire stone projectiles or other original products that can withstand liquid metal cannonballs. This does not mean that the original product does not exist.

Judging from the current situation, the original Golden Fire Pot Cannon is obviously in the hands of Yuan Shu.

Or more accurately, it was left in the hands of the Yuan clan in Runan.

The specific origin is now unknown, but it can be known that it is a fairly ancient antiquity, but for various reasons it was collected in the hands of the Yuan family but could not see the light of day. However, there is a vague written record, so that future generations can still know that there is such a treasure in their home.

It can be said that if Li Shushi hadn't come out of nowhere and made a name for himself with the Golden Fire Cannon, neither Yuan Shao nor Yuan Shu would have taken this thing to heart - it would be of little use to them anyway.

It's a pity that who let this world have more Li Shushi, a little butterfly.

As a result, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, two brothers who were not very good at dealing with each other, once again clashed over the golden fire cannon.

In fact, as the helmsman of the Yuan family, Yuan Kui planned to divide the Golden Fire Cannons equally - yes, you read that right, this thing can indeed be divided equally, but the result of the equal division is that Yuan Shao gets the main body of the Golden Fire Cannon, and Yuan Shu gets the accessory of the Golden Fire Cannon, which is called the windmill wheel, a magical treasure that can increase the movement speed of the trebuchet.

Of course, you can see from this distribution method that although Yuan Shu is a descendant, Yuan Kui obviously prefers Yuan Shao, who succeeded Yuan Cheng in the second room, so when Yuan Kui presided over the family business after Yuan Feng's death, Yuan Shao's life was actually better than Yuan Shu's.

Such a distribution plan naturally cannot satisfy Yuan Shu, in the case that the family's multiple resources have been given to Yuan Shao by Yuan Kui, Yuan Kui's approach is indeed a little chilling, after all, there are also Yuan Yi and Yuan Ji, although they are more suitable for gradually climbing in the bureaucratic system than fighting for hegemony, they also need the help of various resources.

As a result, Yuan Shu successfully obtained the complete original Golden Fire Cannon.

As for what kind of price he paid for this, it was his private affair with Yuan Shao and Yuan Kui.

And now, this "magic cannon" has played its due role at the most critical moment.

Seeing that the drawbridge gate began to deform and crack in the continuous smashing and burning, the faces of Cao Cao's generals became more and more anxious. (To be continued......)
