? Chapter 192: Under the duel between male and female

Ten days later, Li Zhe led an army of 100,000 and thousands of catapults to fill the moat outside Xuchang City, Cao Cao had no choice but to watch, because he could only watch by himself, and when he went out of the city, he was waiting for death, but the range of archery could not reach, so he could only watch Li Zhe pave the way for himself with catapults.

By evening, the catapults had stopped throwing stones, and the river had been filled up, and it was five feet above the ground, and the city walls could be reached by a ladder.

Li Zhe ordered the soldiers to cook and eat to their heart's content.

Cao Cao looked at it and felt that there was something that did not conform to the tactics of war, why did Li Zhe stop, he should attack at this time, otherwise it would be tomorrow morning, and it would be dark an hour later.

Could it be that Li Zhe wants to attack the city at night, which is even more inconsistent with the tactics of war, if it is a sneak attack with a small army, it is okay at night, but it is not a sneak attack at the moment, but a full-scale attack by a large army, so it is not good for them to attack at night.

An hour later, Li Zhe ordered, the archers were ready, Li Zhe's crossbowmen were ready, Cao Cao heard the movement under the city, but he didn't know what the movement was, after all, it was dark.

Li Zhe's soldiers lit the rockets, and then prepared, at this moment Cao Cao saw Li Zhe's actions, the firelight made Cao Cao see that it was an arrow, and Cao Cao smiled in his heart, Li Zhe's archers are no less than three hundred steps away from here, even if the bow and arrow are powerful, they will be shot into the city.

Tai Shi Ci shouted, let go of the arrow, Cao Cao watched the arrow fly high in the sky, the general arrow began to fall after fifty meters, but how did these arrows not have, a hundred meters did not fall down the posture, Cao Cao was shocked, goosebumps rose, and then shouted, hidden.

After a rain of arrows, followed by a rain of arrows, the arrows after that did not ignite, and when they were invisible in the night, the arrows flew in, and the enemy did not know how they died.

At this moment, the city began to be chaotic, the screams and howls of the soldiers shook the sky, Li Zhe looked at the time when the soldiers began to attack the city, and the ladders and the cars that slammed the door began to set off.

Zhang Fei led the headquarters of twenty or thirty thousand people to kill, one after another, the soldiers at the head of the city died with heavy swords, and then fought at the head of the city, was they shot to death by arrows flying from nowhere, the dead soldiers were very helpless, and there was a feeling of not being blind.

Cao Cao saw that this situation was not good, and today he knew why Li Zhe attacked the city so quickly. At this moment, Cao Cao wanted to withdraw his troops and escape, he already knew Li Zhe's methods, and he also knew Li Zhe's fighting style, and then he could think of a strategy to break the enemy.

Cao Cao withdrew from Xuchang City with 40,000 troops on horseback, and the soldiers in the city learned that Cao Cao had escaped, and they all broke up in an instant and surrendered.

Cao Cao fled with 40,000 soldiers and horses in the direction of Jizhou, late at night, Cao Cao's army was on the right path to a mountain pass, but the two sides could pass through three horses in parallel, about two miles long mountain pass, Cao Cao saw that this place was easy to ambush, Cao Cao ordered five hundred cavalry to pass, and then to the other end, Cao Cao did not hear the sound of fighting, Cao Cao led a large group of men and horses through the mountain pass, in addition to the mountain pass, Cao Cao laughed, if you do an ambush here, our army will not be able to return to Jizhou for a while, Li Zhe is just like this.

At this time, a shout came from the valley, Cao Cao and Zhao Zilong have been waiting here for a long time. Cao Cao looked ahead, there was also a mountain pass in front of him, and when he stood in the middle of the two mountain passes, there were four roads to go, but the four roads were the valley roads just now, and suddenly shot rockets from the mountain, and the fire blocked the mountain pass, Cao Cao shouted, it's not good, rush out with me, stay in place and die.

I saw that arrows were raining down on the mountain, stones and trees were rolling everywhere, and more than half of Cao's army was killed and wounded.

Cao Cao finally escaped from the mountain pass, and ran to Jizhou with cavalry, Zhao Yun chased Cao Cao behind, and the army behind covered Cao Cao's retreat, and the dead and wounded, but Cao Cao finally fled to Jizhou.

Li Zhe boarded the palace in Xuchang City at this moment, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, have already pacified their respective locations, returned to Li Zhe's side, looking at the gorgeous palace, Li Zhe walked to the side of the dragon chair, touched the dragon chair with both hands and then looked at the three of them, Zhuge Liang said: "Lord, the number of Han Qi has been exhausted, this dragon chair must be able to live in it, this world has Jizhou and Yanzhou two weeks have not been calmed, the lord should respect the mandate of heaven, into the ninety-five, in order to not seek the welfare of the people of the world."

Li Zhe still touched the dragon chair and said, "Can I really sit?" ”

All three shouted, "The lord can sit down."

Li Zhe didn't say anything, he brushed his sleeves and left the main hall, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Xu Shu looked at each other and nodded, smiled and left.

Ten days later, all the prefectures and counties have been pacified, the people have not made any commotion, and they have all accepted Li Zhe's control.

Li Zhe saw that the attitude of the hundred officials was different, they all knelt down, Zhuge Liang held a scroll in his hand and said: "Lord, this is my letter signed by the hundred officials, please follow the mandate of heaven, become a ninety-five, seek the blessing of the common people, and give grace to the world"

Li Zhe didn't say anything after hearing this, got up alone and walked out of the hall, the hundred officials didn't understand what it meant, at this moment Li Zhe and Pang Tong and Xu Shu glanced at each other, smiled slightly, got up and walked down the hall.

The next day, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Xu Shu came to Li Zhe and asked, "Lord, how should our army deal with the affairs of Jizhou and Yanzhou?"

Li Zhe said: "The world accounts for ten of the **, Cao Cao no longer has the ability to be my enemy, we don't have to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, leaving him a way to live is also a good life."

Zhuge Liang didn't say anything, Li Zhe said: "When will Zhou Yu and Lu Su arrive?"

Zhuge Liang said: "It's just a matter of one or two days."

Li Zhe nodded and said, "It's okay to go down, Madame just arrived, I want to accompany my family"

Li Zhe came to his family, and Li Zhe said: "Madam, if one day I have nothing, will you be with me?"

Sun Shangxiang said: "Why does the husband talk like this, is it a fever?"

Gan Ying looked at Li Zhe and said: "We are all husbands, no matter when, we will follow our husbands forever."

Li Zhe nodded and smiled, and then went to the study and wrote a secret letter in the study.

The next day, he left Xuchang with his family and went directly to Wudang Mountain.
