"What do you mean by that?"

Chen Gong heard Xiang Yu's sneer, and couldn't help but slanted his eyes, the look in his eyes was angry and suspicious.

If Xiang Yu hadn't spared his life, he would have said this to him, I was afraid that Chen Gong would have to fight with him immediately.

"The state pastor knows that he will definitely die if he goes here, but he still wants to go out of the city to die, why is he not a reckless man?"

Xiang Yu let go of the hand holding Chen Gong.

"Going out of the city is death, not going out of the city is also death, anyway, the public platform is not afraid of death, and I don't want to be a turtle with a shrunken head!"

Chen Gong had an old grudge with Cao Cao, and because the incident happened suddenly, so he couldn't control his emotions for a while, and now he was stopped by Xiang Yu, and his heart calmed down a little, but he was no longer impulsive, but he was still indignant.

"Xiang admires the courage of the state pastor, but this matter is not to the point of reckless death." Xiang Yu's tone was still calm, and his eyes were looking into the distance.

"What can the general do?" Chen Gong didn't hear it until this time, Xiang Yu's tone revealed a complete calmness and calmness, without the slightest hint of panic.

"Advanced city, everything will be talked about after the army is closer." After Xiang Yu finished speaking, he went straight to the garrison camp.

Chen Gong was relieved a little by Xiang Yu's appeasement, looking at Xiang Yu's back, and after calming down a little, he also entered the state capital and began to deal with state affairs.

An hour later, Cao Cao led his army over Xiaopei.

"Liu Xuande is running very fast, this person can see the situation clearly in such a short period of time, and decisively give up the only territory, his mind and city government have to be amazing."

Looking at the empty Xiaopeicheng, Cao Cao's heart was full of thoughts.

At the beginning of Xu Du, Guo Jia had suggested that he kill Liu Bei, but Cao Cao relented for a while and did not listen to Guo Jia's advice.

When he conquered the states and pacified the world, this man must be a fierce opponent of his own.

Fortunately, Xuzhou was taken back this time, so that Liu Bei did not have the opportunity to stabilize his foundation, and after stabilizing Xuzhou, he fought Yuan Shao again, pacified the north in one fell swoop, and completely cut off Liu Bei's back road.

In Cao Cao's heart, his worries about Liu Bei were far greater than Yuan Shao's.

Half an hour later, Cao Cao's army was still less than twenty miles away from Xiapi City.

"Send someone to spread the word and let the defenders of Xiapi City open the city gate and welcome the prime minister into the city!"

Cao Hong followed Cao Cao and shouted at the heralds.

The herald hurriedly rode forward.

After a while, the herald came back with a confused face, "Prime Minister Qiqi, Xiapi City can't open the city gate, and he also shoots a piece of cloth with an arrow." ”

"Waste, you can't do this thing, what's the use of you!"

As soon as Cao Hong heard this, he was furious, drew his saber, and was about to behead the herald.

"Wait, bring things in first." Cao Cao realized that something was wrong, frowned, and stopped Cao Hong.

The herald picked up a life, sweating on his forehead, and trembling hands stepped forward to hand over the cloth.

Cao Cao spread the cloth in the palm of his hand, and there was indeed a hole in the middle, which was pierced by an arrow.

On the cloth, there are a few small words written, "How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch, come to the army and return quickly!" ”

"How unreasonable!" Cao Cao was furious and shook the cloth hard.

What's going on with the 50,000 elite soldiers, I have obviously told it very clearly, after attacking Xuzhou, I quickly returned to the team to help it capture Xuzhou, why did I come here?

Do you think your neck is too stiff, and you want to try his Qingyu Sword?

"You, go and give an order again, tell them that the prime minister is close, and if you don't open the city gate again, you will be punished as a rebel!"

"Yes!"

How dare the herald say more than half a word, and hurriedly went to pass the word again.

This time it was faster, and in less than a moment of incense, the herald returned, with an arrow stuck horizontally in his helmet, and a look of mourning on his face.

"Why did you come back so soon? And what's going on with this arrow?! ”

Cao Hong was furious, and the herald was this whole thing.

"Prime Minister Qiqi, my subordinates didn't even get close to Picheng this time, and they were still more than two miles away, and suddenly an arrow flew from nowhere, hitting my helmet, and a voice came to say......"

The heralds were hesitant, and they didn't dare to continue.

"Hurry up, rub what!" Cao Hongqi kicked the herald.

"The subordinates didn't dare to say it, and they said that they would be beheaded." The herald trembled with fear.

"You are not guilty of this, but it is okay to say it." Cao Cao closed his eyes slightly, his face looked at the sky, and his voice was very low and cold.

"The voice said, this time it was a shot at my helmet, sparing my life, if it ...... If the prime minister does not return to Xu Du, the next arrow will kill the prime minister. ”

The more the herald spoke, the quieter his voice became, and his head was buried deeply, for fear that Cao Cao would be angry and frightened.

Surprisingly, Cao Cao didn't get angry, and he didn't even say a word, and there was a sudden silence around him.

The more this is the case, the more terrifying the atmosphere becomes, and the people around them all inexplicably feel a coercion over their heads, and they can't breathe.

"What a trick!"

After a while, Cao Cao finally spit out a sentence, squeezed out of his teeth, his eyes were blood-red from anger, and his voice was so cold that people felt like falling into an ice cave, and goosebumps broke out all over his body.

Cao Cao realized that the 50,000 elite soldiers stationed in Xuzhou were gone like meat buns beating dogs, and he grasped the saber hanging from his waist tightly in his hand, and pinched it with a clattering sound, obviously curbing his great anger.

"Prime Minister, what should I do next?"

Cao Hong was on the side, cautiously asking for instructions.

They only said that this time they finally grabbed ahead of the emperor, and it was easy to take Xuzhou, just like digging into a bag, but they didn't expect things to develop into this situation.

This is really stealing chickens and rice, Xuzhou didn't get it, and it also lost 50,000 elite soldiers, who it is, I'm afraid I can't swallow this breath.

"Go on, I want to see what I am, I can really turn the sky upside down!"

Cao Cao's face was blue, and with an order, he waved his army and continued to move forward.

Less than twenty miles away, it soon approached Xiapi City.

"Whoosh!"

Cao Cao led his army and was just about to approach the city wall, when he suddenly shot rows of sharp arrows, forcing Cao Cao and other troops to retreat fifty battles away from the city wall.

"This is the prime minister, are you going to rebel?!"

Cao Hong raised his head and shouted angrily at the city wall.

The defenders of Xiapi City have all surrendered, and the current defenders are all Cao Cao's original subordinates, and now they are demonstrating against Cao **'s arrows, which makes Cao Hong and other generals suddenly angry.

"It turned out that Prime Minister Cao Cheng came in person, and Xuzhou Muchen Palace was not welcomed, so don't be surprised."

On the city wall, Chen Gong appeared, arched his hand downward, and smiled without smiling.

"However, Xuzhou has now complied with the will of heaven and returned to the Han royal family, no matter who it is, before getting the emperor's will, he should not lead the army to approach Xuzhou, this point, presumably Prime Minister Cao Cheng will not know, right?"

"The prime minister welcomes the Son of Heaven into the Xu capital, and is ordered to support the Han Dynasty and support the community, and the princes of all walks of life in the world should get off the horse and bow down when they see the prime minister, not to mention that you are a mere Xuzhou pastor, and you don't quickly open the city gate and welcome the prime minister into the city!"

Cao Cao grimaced and snorted coldly.

"The governor of Benzhou said that without the emperor's will, no one is allowed to enter the city, so the prime minister should please go back!"

Chen Gong was-for-tat and unconvinced.

"Do you really think that with 50,000 elite soldiers in the city, you can compete with me? As everyone knows, their families are all in Xudu, and if they don't open the city gate, they will immediately make them lonely and widowed! ”

Cao Cao's words were extremely lethal, and a large number of the defenders in the city were immediately shaken.

Although they were willing to accept Xiang Yu as their commander, they couldn't resist being pinched by Cao Cao by their family members.

Chen Gong didn't expect that Cao Cao still had this hand, and with his temperament, he really did it.

The 50,000 elite soldiers in the city, not to mention all of them, only a part of them mutinied, and the situation was suddenly difficult to control.

Chen Gong's face suddenly became extremely solemn.

"As long as someone can catch this Fang Ding, Xuzhou City, this king will give it away." Suddenly, a deep and powerful voice shouted, "Otherwise, if you kill a family member in vain, this king will definitely not let you go!" ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

There was a dull sound, as if something heavy was pounding on the city walls.
