Changfeng.

It has been a few days since Huaxiong attacked the camp.

Cao Cao and the others were waiting in the hall, looking anxiously at the backyard from time to time.

After a while, an old man slowly walked out of the backyard.

Cao Cao and the others immediately surrounded him.

Before they could speak, the old man shook his head and sighed,

"Cao Gong, General Li Dian...... I'm afraid I won't be able to survive. ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed.

Everyone present had a flash of pain on their faces.

When Huaxiong attacked the camp, Li Dian and Le Jin were both seriously injured.

Lejin was slightly injured and saved his life.

And Li Dian has been in a coma, Cao Cao searched for famous doctors from Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, but he still failed to save Li Dian.

"Someone, send the doctor away."

Cao Cao waved his hand weakly.

After the doctor left, the pale-faced Le Jin said angrily,

"Lord, I'm going to find Hua Xiong and avenge Man Cheng!"

As he spoke, he turned to leave.

"Lejin! Hold it! ”

Cao Cao shouted to stop Le Jin.

The generals on the side also stopped Le Jin one after another and didn't let him leave.

Le Jin reluctantly took a few steps back and sat on the chair with a dejected face.

Everyone present, who doesn't want to kill Hua Xiong?

But this matter is difficult to get to the sky.

Hua Xiong and Zhao Yun only brought 3,000 men and horses to attack the camp.

Kill Cao Cao's two generals, burn the grain and grass.

Even Cao Cao and Liu Bei were chased in embarrassment.

But apart from killing a few of Hua Xiong's men, he didn't even hurt his fur.

The crowd was angry and powerless.

Before the two sides officially started the war, half of the grain and grass were burned, and a general died, not to mention how annoyed Cao Cao was.

He was so angry that he put to death all the soldiers in charge of guarding that day, but even so, he still couldn't vent the anger in his heart.

"Pass the order, and bury General Mancheng."

Cao Cao waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go down.

Only Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Chen Gong were left.

"Brother Meng De, Hua Xiong is arrogant, bloodthirsty and cruel.

General Li Dian's revenge, we will definitely avenge it in the future. ”

Liu Bei comforted.

Cao Cao's face looks much better.

But Chen Gong's next sentence made his face embarrassed again.

"Our army's food and grass can only continue to support it for another seven days.

After seven days, there is a risk of food shortages. ”

Cao Cao raised 100,000 horses with two counties, which was a great burden on the finances.

On weekdays, half of the 100,000 horses were drawn out of the tuntian, which was barely able to support it.

But now that the 100,000 army is all open, and if they want to fight with Huaxiong, the grain and grass are a little stretched.

Cao Cao's original plan was to obtain supplies after taking Shouchun, and take advantage of the situation to attack the fertile Yanzhou.

In this way, the crisis of food shortages can be solved.

But in recent days, it has been raining heavily, and it is impossible to attack at all.

Not to mention that a few days ago, it was set on fire by Huaxiong and burned a third.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but pinch his teeth and his scalp was numb.

"Brother Meng De doesn't have to worry, it's raining so hard, presumably Huaxiong's side is extremely difficult to supply."

Liu Bei comforted.

Chen Gong on the side smiled bitterly,

"Liu Pingyuan, you don't know. The official roads of the imperial court in various states and counties were all made of cement. ”

"Cement?"

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were both at a loss, not knowing what it was.

"Cement is a building material that, when poured, is extremely hard and simply cannot be destroyed.

We sent our soldiers to harass Huaxiong's rear and disrupt their shipping routes.

But the cement was so hard that it would be hard to destroy even if it was struck with a sledgehammer. ”

"Not bad."

Cao Cao's brows furrowed deeply,

"At that time, Luoyang New City was poured with cement, which cost countless huge sums of money.

The spies I planted in the imperial court reported that the official roads within the jurisdiction of the imperial court were all built with cement.

So he didn't have to worry at all, the roads were muddy and difficult to walk on rainy days. ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang gasped.

The construction of Luoyang New City can be understood by pouring cement.

But the official roads of the imperial court are all cement roads, which is also too big.

Has the treasury been filled to such a terrifying point?

No wonder Huaxiong can be so wealthy and start a war on three fronts at the same time!

Liu Bei remembered that before Xuzhou parted, Hua Xiong's words of persuasion were also a little heavy in his heart.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little dull for a while.

Zhuge Liang on the side suddenly laughed,

"Lord, Cao Gong, Brother Gongtai, you don't have to be so depressed, I have good news for you."

The three of them were all stunned, and their eyes looked at Zhuge Liang.

"According to my calculations, the weather will be clear by tomorrow evening at the latest."

"Is that true?"

Cao Cao's eyes widened.

"How dare Kong Ming deceive Cao Gong?"

"It would be great if it was as Kong Ming said."

Cao Cao couldn't help but smile on his face.

When the weather clears, they can let go and storm Shouchun.

As long as you can win Shouchun, all problems will be solved.

Instead of sitting back and waiting, let's fight hard!

When Cao Cao thought of this, his face became resolute,

"Pass the order, the three armies are ready, and the day after tomorrow will meet the enemy!"

……

Sure enough, as Zhuge Liang calculated, in the afternoon of the next day, the heavy rain that had raged for more than ten days slowly stopped.

And the sky has the sun that has not been seen for a long time.

Cao Cao seized this opportunity, quickly reorganized the army, and led the army on the third day to Shouchun City.

……

The third day of the offensive and defensive battle of Shouchun City!

"My lord, General Cao Ren's department has already lost more than half!"

Chen Gong hurriedly reported.

Cao Cao's face was indifferent, without the slightest wave.

"My lord, do you want to replace his troops?"

Chen Gong said cautiously.

"No! Tell Cao Ren that if he wants to withdraw, he must wait until his troops are all gone! ”

Cao Cao shouted.

The generals on the side listened to Cao Cao's order, and their hearts were cold.

Since the arrival of the Cao-Liu coalition army in Shouchun, Cao Cao ordered a storming of the city.

With a ghost talent like Zhuge Liang, the coalition army has already made all kinds of siege equipment.

Ladders, catapults, siege engines, everything.

But Shouchun City was the capital of Yuan Shu back then, tall and sturdy, and after Pound's reinforcement in recent years, it is even more impregnable!

In just three days, Cao Cao folded 20,000 horses, but he never even stood on the city wall!

Everyone was a little distressed, but looking at Cao Cao's posture, no one dared to take the initiative to speak.

had to look to the side, Liu Bei, who has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness.

Liu Bei stepped forward with a hard head,

"Gong Cao, it can't be so big anymore. Even if we really win Shouchun in the end, we will be greatly injured and unable to go north to Yanzhou. ”

Cao Cao glanced at him,

"So what do you think is a good idea?"

Liu Bei choked for a moment, and didn't know what to say for a while.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang next to him suddenly spoke,

"Liang has a plan."
