Because Ye Kewu is invincible in the world, Yuan Shao's soldiers have long been determined to go out of the city to face the battle, and Yuan Shao is also bent on defending the city, and let Yuan Xi, Gao Gan, and Guo Tu build a deep ditch hard village, not to attack easily.

This time, Ye Ke shot an arrow to blow up a city wall battlement, which made the civil and military generals in Jizhou even more embarrassed, full of fear, and no one advocated to come out to face the battle.
Although Yuan Shao is ambitious and talented, he has little courage and chicken gall, but this weakness is relative to what Cao Cao said.
Compared with the vast majority of people, Yuan Shao's talent is very prominent, after all, the fourth generation and third duke of the old Yuan family, the Yuan family has also invested a lot of effort in his training, so even if the enemy soldiers are in the city, and the other party has a peerless martial god like Ye Ke, he will not fall to the death, and he will never surrender!
In order to win this battle to defend the city, Yuan Shao made a bloody investment, bundles of arrows piled up, and huge trees and boulders also made the city wall high, which could be used to defend the city at any time.
In terms of the more critical army, in addition to having a strong army of 50,000, Yuan Shao also organized the common people who fled into the city for refuge, and the young and strong men went to the city to help in the battle. The elderly, the weak, women and children were formed into teams. Only wait for wartime to carry the materials for defending the city. What's even more rare is that Yuan Shao, the third prince of the fourth world, even figured out an inspiring plan and sent people to the city to publicize it. Boost morale and morale.
"Jizhou boy, listen up," in front of countless Jizhou people, Yuan Shao's men howled loudly: "Cao Cao's army outside the city is extremely ferocious, once slaughtered the city in Xuzhou, and when he captured Liyang, he slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in Liyang, and all the blood flowed like a river!" These are all our old and young masters in Jizhou! If Cao's army captures Jizhou this time, they will definitely not spare everyone.
Therefore, in order to survive, in order to avenge the death of our brothers and sisters at Cao Cao's hands, we should closely unite under the command of the Great Sima General Ben Chu Gong and defeat Cao Cao! ”
"Defeat Cao Cao!" Yuan Shao's subordinates mixed in the crowd to fan the flames, and soon the common people were angry and shouted together, obviously their morale rose to countless points.
"Rest assured, Cao's army came from afar, exhausted, our army waits for work, and there are Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou outside the city to form an army of Leaning Corner, plus our army is united, the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, and Cao Cao will definitely be trapped under this Jizhou city!"
This news was quickly spread outside the city, and Cao Cao convened all the generals to discuss the matter, and the generals had their own opinions, and several strategists also had different opinions, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
Ye Ke said: "Now that Yuan Xi, Gao Gan, and Guo Tu have each led their troops and horses to the outside of the city, our army might as well break them first, and then find a way to break through the city of Jizhou." ”
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Your idea is the right policy, but the three big villages outside the city are extremely difficult to break, what can you do?" ”
Ye Ke said: "The high-level camp is in the west of Jizhou City, the terrain is flat, this village should be attacked first, and the last general is willing to personally lead a thousand soldiers to launch an attack early tomorrow morning, and I am willing to invite the lord and the generals to the village at noon!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Everyone has seen the camp of the high cadres, the outside circle is really a deep ditch and dangerous ravine, the camp is a circle, but also built a half-human wall high earthen wall, inside the trebuchet, strong bow and crossbow all kinds of long-throw equipment.
It is said that the grain brought by Gao Gan this time is enough for more than 30,000 soldiers to eat for several months, and he is not afraid of Cao Cao's long-term siege.
Because Cao Cao has many people, the Central Plains generation has only been back to life for only one year, and the food is far less abundant than that of Bingzhou.
As usual, as long as the senior cadres make up their minds, they can't hold on. If it doesn't cost tens of thousands of people and horses, consumes dozens or hundreds of trebuchets, and doesn't take ten days and half a month, it is really difficult to break through this camp!
So Cheng Yu first persuaded: "General Ziwen, you are young and brave, unparalleled in the world, but the camp of Gao Gan is really hard and like a turtle shell, and it is not easy to overcome." ”
Xun You also said: "Gao Gan is a little ordinary, but he is down-to-earth, Yuan Shao asked him to stick to the city, he will definitely not be able to defend it, and the deep ravines are dangerous, the earth walls are strong, the soldiers are sufficient, and the food is complete, it is really difficult to overcome." ”
Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others were silent.
Xu You saw the persuasion of the two strategists, Ye Ke was silent in a low voice, so he said loudly: "Ziwen is brave, but he doesn't know the strategy, I have a plan, and I can break through the city in a few days." Yuan Shao can fall into the hands of the lord! ”
Cao Cao hurriedly asked his plan.
Xu You crossed his hands behind his back, walked back and forth in the tent for a few steps, and said, "Why don't you decide to flood the water of the Zhanghe River?" ”
Cao Cao looked around at everyone, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others bowed their heads and said nothing, and the generals nodded yes, but when they saw Ye Ke sneering, he stepped forward and said: "Xu Gong's plan is indeed good, but our army is digging trenches, and the other three Dazhai must know." If when our army is attacking the city, the enemy takes the opportunity to attack from behind, and our army suffers from the enemy on the belly and back, what can we do? ”
Xu Yu said: "Yuan Shao is resourceful, he has a lot of guts, and he is scared of the big water city, and he will only abandon the city and flee, where do you dare to fight?" ”
Ye Ke said: "If we don't break the three villages outside the city, our army will not be stable after all, and we will rashly dig rivers and irrigate the city, in case we suffer from the enemy on our backs, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
Xu You waved his hand and said, "Since the general insists on breaking through the three hard villages, then please ask the general to fight!" ”
Ye Ke said: "Then I will make a military order, and Mr. Xu will be a witness!" ”
Xu You sneered and said: "Don't blame a certain person for saying first, the general can't attack the hard village, and he has to dig the river to irrigate the city, and within the four seas, the name of the general can be spread." ”
Ye Ke said: "Since I have made a military order, I will naturally act in accordance with the military order!" ”
Xu You sneered and was silent.
Cao Cao glanced at Xu You, a hint of heron flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Ziwen, can you really break through the Gaogan camp early tomorrow morning?" ”
Ye Ke said: "The last general will train the soldiers under his command day and night, everyone is trained to be a steel and iron skeleton, as long as you put on the armor, the horse forward, before the sun rises three poles, you will be able to break through the high-level cadre camp!" ”
Cao Cao said: "Okay! My son is brave and strong, and my sons are all heroes, and I will watch the battle from a high place tomorrow, hoping that my son will succeed! ”
Ye Ke gave the order and went to prepare below.
Soon, the news of Cao's army camp spread.
"What, the third prince Zhang and Xu You made a bet that they would lead their sons and daughters tomorrow, and they planned to break through the Gaogan camp in the morning?"
"It's too exaggerated, I also watched the high-level camp with everyone, it is really a deep ravine, hard and the same as a turtle shell, it is really difficult to attack!"
"That's right, the third prince is brave and brave in the world, and he was not as warm as him in the past, I believe in this, but to lead a thousand sons and sons to break through the hard village of tens of thousands of people, it is really unbelievable!"
"Maybe the third prince is confident that he is invincible in the world, and he is also confident that the army he trained is also invincible in the world, and it is easy to break through tens of thousands of high-ranking cadres?"
"It's not self-confidence, it's recklessness!"
"During the Battle of Cangting, the third prince Zhang single-handedly defeated tens of thousands of Yuan Shaozhong's army, and now he has thousands of people to help, can't he break through the Dazhai of tens of thousands of Gaogan?"
"You're new here, aren't you? Have you ever experienced a war? Can the battle formation arranged by tens of thousands of people on the plain be compared with the deep ravines and dangerous ravines and the Dazhai with all the equipment? ”
"It makes sense, so the third prince will definitely return this time? Why didn't the lord stop him? ”
"The third prince is the god of the army, how can the lord suppress his enthusiasm?"
