Cao's 'Cao' garrison is here, and one is paying attention to the movements of Chang'an.

All the actions of Chang'an were transmitted to Cao's 'Cao' camp.

A guard hurried in and handed over a letter. After Cao 'Cao' took it, he waved his hand to signal the soldier to stand down, and then quickly scanned the message.

After reading it, Cao '' and slapped it on the desk, his face 'angry'.

Damn it!

Liu Xiu is not a son of man.

It's so damning!

Cao '' three or two times and crumpled the letter into a ball, and threw it directly to the ground.

"Someone!"

Cao '' and Xu Chu walked in.

Xu Chu said: "Prime Minister!"

Cao 'Cao' commanded: "Please Xun You, Cheng Yu and Liu Ye." ”

"No!"

Xu Chu nodded, then turned around and retreated.

Not long after, Xun You, Cheng Yu and Liu Ye walked in and bowed: "I've seen the prime minister." ”

After everyone saluted, Cao 'Cao' waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.

Cao's face sank like water, his expression was solemn, and he said: "I got the news just now, Liu Xiu is in Chang'an City, coerced all the families and merchants, and asked the merchants to contribute money and grain. According to the news sent back, the grain Liu Xiu received from the family and merchants was about 400,000 stones, and the money was more than 300,000 gold. ”

Brush!

When Xun You, Cheng Yu and Liu Ye heard this, their faces changed.

400,000 stone grain!

300,000 gold!

That's not a small amount.

This amount, if it is a ration for tens of thousands of people, can ensure that there will be no shortage of food for at least a year.

300,000 gold, but also to ensure that there is no shortage of money.

The purpose of Cao's retreat was to use the topography of the Meridian Road to make Liu Xiu's grain road unstable. Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu's food problem was solved at once.

Cao 'Cao' said: "After Liu Xiu collected the money and grain, he promised that within three years, all the merchants in Chang'an City would not collect the slightest tax, and even gave countless official positions to the major families and merchants, allowing them to become officials. ”

"Shhhhh

When Xun You and the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but gasp.

What a ruthless method!

What a clever trick!

Xun You's eyes rolled slightly, and he said, "Prime Minister, Liu Xiu's move is too ruthless." We are going to attack Chang'an now, even if Liu Xiu does not send troops to rescue him, I am afraid that the countless families and merchants in Chang'an City will resist with all their might. There is no other reason than to protect their own interests. We want to dismantle each other, unless we offer better terms. ”

Cao 'Cao' said again: "Liu Xiu also walked the news, saying that we were defeated by him, saying that he occupied Chang'an. This news is spreading to Liangzhou. Liu Xiu's intention is to 'mess up' Liangzhou!"

Liu Yezheng said: "Prime Minister, I suggest attacking Liu Xiu immediately." ”

Cao '' and said, "Why?"

Liu Yezheng said: "If we don't attack Chang'an, once Liangzhou falls, Chang'an and Liangzhou, Chang'an and Hanzhong, all become one, it will be a huge blow to us." Even, it will be difficult for us to capture Chang'an. Prime Minister, without further ado, please send troops as soon as possible. ”

Cheng Yu stroked his white beard under his chin and said, "Prime Minister, Liu Ye's suggestion is reasonable. Now, Chang'an must be stormed. Otherwise, it's a big deal!"

Xun You said: "In addition to our attack on Chang'an, we have to give another order, ordering Cao Ren to attack Jingzhou. Either way, go all out. Let Nanyang County be in an emergency, so that Liu Xiu can not gain a foothold in Chang'an. ”

Regarding the current situation, Xun You also has a trace of worry.

If things are not handled well, they will completely lose the place in Guanzhong.

Cao 'Cao' took a deep breath and ordered: "Pass the order down, attack immediately." ”

"No!"

Xun You, as a military advisor, got the order, turned around and went down to arrange.

The army moved and went straight to Chang'an.

Outside Chang'an City, Jingzhou Military Camp.

The big tent of the Chinese army!

While Liu Xiu was dealing with military affairs, Deng Zhan hurriedly came in.

Deng Zhan saluted and said, "Lord, Cao Cao's troops are here, and they are coming towards Chang'an." ”

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "The expected thing, Cao 'Cao' learned that we had grain, grass and money, and there was no shortage of grain, and the news that Chang'an was occupied, Cao 'Cao' naturally couldn't sit still." You go and hire Wen. ”

"Yes!"

Deng Zhan got the order, turned around and went down to inform.

After a while, Wen Ping came to the camp tent, clasped his fists and saluted: "Lord!"

Liu Xiu said directly: "Cao 'Cao' is here, you are ready to resist immediately." In this battle, you don't need to fight, you just need to resist. ”

Wen Ping said: "My lord, we are fully capable of fighting. ”

has been fighting with Cao 'Cao' for a long time, and Wen Ping is already eager to defeat Cao 'Cao'. Now that Cao 'Cao' once again led the army to kill, Wen Ping's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he couldn't wait to defeat Liu Xiu in one go.

Liu Xiu said: "Cao's '' came to kill us, the purpose is to defeat us. Even, Cao's '' has another purpose, which is to consume our troops. The meridian road is long and narrow, and it is quite difficult for us to transport troops and food. Moreover, Hanzhong has just been annexed, and if there are too many soldiers lost now, it is not appropriate to transfer troops from Hanzhong. So now, we're on the defensive. As long as Ma Chao wins in Liangzhou, then next, we can start a war with Cao 'Cao'. ”

After hearing this, Wen Ping nodded and said, "Don't worry, the lord understands." ”

In terms of defense, there is still a set of Wenpin.

Immediately, Wen Ping left the camp, and then quickly arranged for the soldiers to prepare. About two hours later, outside the camp, the rumbling of war drums and the whining of trumpets were heard.

Cao's '' army is here!

Liu Xiu also walked out of the camp tent and came to the 'gate' of the camp.

Wen Ping stood beside Liu Xiu and reported: "Don't worry, my lord, everything is ready." ”

"Okay, I'll let you command. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes looked forward to it, since he let Wen Ping command, he would not 'interfere' in Wen Ping's affairs.

"Da! Da!"

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came first.

With the sound of horses' hooves, the whole ground shook slightly.

In the distance, above the official road, a squirming black line appeared. As time passed, the black line became clearer and clearer, and the last cavalry galloping on horseback appeared on the official road.

Cao 'Cao's first 'wave' attack, directly charging with cavalry.

As long as the cavalry broke through Liu Xiu's camp, it would be easy to defeat Liu Xiu next.

"Sons, kill with me, make meritorious contributions, just recently, kill!"

This time, Cao Zhang is also in the army.

Cao Zhang carried a gun and sprinted quickly, he wanted revenge. The last time he fought with Huang Hu, he was easily defeated by Huang Hu, and even Xia Houyuan rescued him, so he escaped. Now that the attack on Liu Xiu's camp begins, Cao Zhang will not be left behind, and he will take the lead.

When Wen Ping saw the cavalry coming, the smile on his face was still the same, his expression was calm, and there was no trace of panic.

"Crossbowman, prepare!"

Wen Ping ordered without hurry.

All the crossbowmen, immediately gather in the camp.

Wen Ping said again: "Catapult, prepare!"

Batches of catapults were quickly assembled, and all of them were in place in the camp.

Whether it is the position of the crossbowman or the position of the catapult, the clerk is arranged. The crossbowmen are in front, the catapults are in the back, and they are all in position.

Thousands of horses galloped, getting closer and closer to the camp.

"Herod!"

The war horse neighed, and the war horse ran quickly.

The closer they got to the camp, the more obvious the shaking of the ground became, and the soldiers in the camp were also tense one by one, and their expressions were extremely serious.

The distance is gradually getting closer.

One hundred zhang!

Eighty zhang!

When the distance was reduced to eighty zhang, Wen Ping ordered: "Catapult, attack!"

At the sound of the order, there were thirty catapults lined up in the camp, and all the stones were thrown out with a bang. Each stone is more than 150 catties in weight, and weighs as much as 300 catties.

The boulder roared, crossed an arc in the air, and fell among the countless war horses in an instant.

"Smack!"

The stones fell, and the soldiers and horses did not even make a sound, and were directly stoned to death.

"Boom!"

When the stone hit the ground, a large hole was smashed into the ground.

Thirty large stones fell one after another, as if a peaceful sleep had smashed into a stone, and instantly set off a circle of 'waves'. Dozens of war horses were stoned to death, and countless war horses were frightened. The cavalry, which was originally attacking like a 'tide', suddenly looked like a person who had been strangled by the neck and could no longer breathe.

The cavalry formation was 'chaotic', and the war horses were even more out of control, running 'chaotic' in all directions.

Cao Zhangren was among the cavalry, seeing that the situation was out of control, and shouted: "Rush, rush over." ”q
