Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were about to enter the city, and Chen Gong had to cover them and let people open the city gates.

Seeing that the city gate was wide open again, Cao Jun immediately rushed towards the city gate, but at this time, a large number of arrows rained down, and there were even trebuchets that threw stones and smashed them in front of the city gate.

The attacking Cao army was quickly suppressed back.

It can be seen that Chen Gong is fully prepared with various defensive tools in Xiapi, and the towers of Xiapi City are tall, and the siege is super difficult.

As Cao's army retreated, Chen Gong ordered the city gate to be closed tightly, and also blocked the city gate with stones to prevent Cao's army from storming.

Everything was done, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who entered the city, went to meet Lu Bu first.

"The two generals are confused!"

Chen Gong walked down from the city tower and said, "You see that the situation is not right, you should leave." ”

Gao Shun asked suspiciously: "Does Mr. want us to abandon Wen Hou and leave?" ”

"Definitely!"

Chen Gong explained: "Cao's army is besieging the city, and we are trapped in Xiapi, if the two generals are outside the city, they can create a lot of possibilities for us. Now they are trapped in the city together, but they only increase some of the troops defending the city. Cao Cao suddenly ordered the two of them to enter the city, in order to trap us all in the city. ”

Gao Shun suddenly realized.

Zhang Liao hesitated when he saw Cao Jun separate, but Gao Shun entered the city and had to follow, shaking his head and saying, "We are indeed confused." ”

"Forget it, let's defend the city together!"

At this point, Chen Gong had no way to reverse it.

Lu Bu secretly screamed in his heart that it was a pity, and then asked: "Gongtai, we can only defend the city next?" ”

Chen Gong said: "Tonight, arrange someone to sneak out of the city, and then ask Yuan Shu for help, and tell Yuan Shu that Cao Cao's main force is in Xiapi, and he will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and ...... another."

I saw him frowning and thinking for a moment, and continued: "Our external arrangements can only be these, internally, first of all, mobilize all the people in the city to defend the city together, they are definitely afraid of Cao Cao and will not refuse." Secondly, strengthen the defense of the city wall and not slacken. Moreover, save the food in the city and consume it with Cao Cao. The longer the delay, the more anxious Cao Cao will be outside the city, which will help us to wait for work in the city. ”

He was confident that the walls of Xiapi were high and thick, and it was difficult for Cao Cao to break them.

As long as you can defend and defend, you can fight this protracted war of attrition with Cao Cao.

Lu Bu ordered loudly: "Pass on my military order, save food in the whole city, don't waste it, don't use grain to make wine, and then mobilize the people to ......"

Outside the city.

"Even if the gate of Xiapi City is opened, it is not easy for us to rush over!"

Cao Cao said.

Guo Jia said: "It shows that Chen Gong attaches great importance to the defense in Xiapi City, and has prepared a lot of tools to defend the city. ”

Chen Zhou said unhurriedly: "I have said a long time ago, it is not difficult to break the Pi, waiting for a suitable time, we can slowly besiege Lu Bu, there is no need to be anxious now." ”

Xu Huang beside him asked curiously: "Does Mr. still know how to calculate the time of the day?" ”

Chen Zhou smiled slightly, but did not respond, giving people a sense of incomprehension.

Seeing this, Cao Cao thought that Chen Zhou must understand.

It's like robbing the tomb at the beginning, Chen Zhou can still communicate with ghosts and gods, and the living can make an agreement with the dead, and suddenly feel that Chen Zhou is becoming more and more unfathomable.

"Du Yi has long said that Xuzhou people govern Xuzhou, and now that we are in Xuzhou, how should we lay it out?"

Cao Cao's gaze fell on the upper floor of Xiapi City, and continued: "The reason why Lu Bu was able to defend Xiapi was that in addition to the guards in the city, there must be the support of the people of Xiapi behind him, so to speak, the people of Xuzhou were afraid of me." ”

Back then, Xuzhou was slaughtered, and blood flowed like a river.

Now people in Xuzhou may tremble when they hear the word Cao Cao, Cao Cao's name can almost be used to scare disobedient children.

Now that Lu Bu is guarding Xiapi, the people in the city, hearing that the person surrounding Xiapi is Cao Cao, are afraid of being slaughtered, and they will definitely give Lu Bu some help.

Cao Cao was worried about this.

"First of all, stop killing."

"Secondly, starting to implement benevolence and righteousness, there should be a lot of displaced people in Xuzhou, and the lord can appropriately send food relief, arrange accommodation for them, and so on."

"In the end, the people of Xuzhou govern Xuzhou, and the most important thing is the people of Xuzhou, and these people must be local scholars."

"The biggest scholar clan in Xuzhou is the Chen family, and now Chen Deng is the Taishou of Guangling, the lord can send someone to recruit him, give him a promise, subdue him, and use the Chen family to whitewash the slaughter of Xuzhou."

Chen Zhou made three simple suggestions.

How to do it depends on Cao Cao's arrangement, and how to further refine and improve it through these three suggestions.

Regarding the recruitment of Chen Deng, Chen Zhou is still very confident that he can succeed.

Chen Deng in history took refuge in Cao Cao at this time, and led the Guangling County soldiers to drive Cao Cao, Chen Deng's younger brother was still in Xiapi and was used by Lu Bu to threaten, but he was unmoved.

Cao Cao nodded again and again, and said: "Feng Xiao, practicing benevolence and righteousness, going to Guangling to recruit Chen Deng and other things, I want to leave it to you, can you do it?" ”

"No problem!"

Guo Jia agreed.

With Chen Zhou's plan, it is very convenient for them to do whatever they do, and they feel that it is not difficult to recruit Chen Deng.

——

Liu Bei escaped in Xiaopei and ran away panting.

It wasn't until he couldn't see the pursuers behind him that he dared to stop and rest, calmed down for a while, and felt annoyed, why did he raise the army for so long, or still have no fixed place?

Leaving the plains, he wanted a chance to rise.

But I couldn't grasp the opportunity, I was stolen twice, and now I'm running away in embarrassment, and I don't know how aggrieved I am.

"Why does Heaven treat me like this?"

Liu Bei looked up at the sky and was thinking unwillingly.

"Husband, drink some water!"

Mrs. Gan handed over a water bag.

Liu Bei glanced at his white jade beauty, and thought to himself that he had fortunately brought her out, otherwise he would fall into Lu Bu's hands again, and this time the top of his head would really be green.

However, because Mrs. Gan was arrested last time, his favor with Mrs. Gan dropped again and again, and he always felt that Lu Bu was so lustful that he would not touch Mrs. Gan.

"Big brother, I'll go to Xiapi and kill Lu Bu."

Zhang Fei shouted that he wanted to kill Lu Bu, it was not the first time.

If he had the ability to kill, Liu Bei would have let him go to Xiapi a long time ago, shook his head and said, "Third brother, you sit firmly and don't shout." ”

Zhang Fei was indignant and could only sit down in the end.

"Big brother, where can we go next?"

Guan Yu asked.

Without Xiaopei, they have no territory.

Other places are all mastered places, unless Liu Bei went to attack the city and strategy, but suffered the impact of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and there were only more than 3,000 remnants left around him, and he couldn't attack the city.

Besides, if he attacks the city and robs other people's territory, the benevolence and righteousness that he has been operating for many years will be in vain.

"Good news, lord."

Sun Qian ran over and said: "Lu Bu and Yuan Shu have formed an alliance, Cao Cao learned of this, divided his troops to attack Lu Bu, and at this time he had besieged Lu Bu in Xiapi City. ”
