News of Cao Cao's defeat soon spread, but Cao Cao insisted that it was only a small defeat and had no impact on the overall situation.

Therefore, the army's morale was barely maintained, but after this battle, Cao Cao also understood that it was better not to fight with him in the field with such an army.

The infantry can repel the cavalry, how can this fight with the army of the imperial court?

The army began to build the city defenses, and built Pengcheng like a fortress.

And Pengcheng is the Xuzhou of later generations, which can be said to be a battleground for soldiers.

If Cao Cao really closed Pengcheng and ordered it to defend it, no matter how strong the imperial army was, there would be no way.

Pengcheng City is four feet high, extremely tall and wide, and more than 10,000 people can stand on the city wall alone.

This is also the reason why Cao Cao pulled his army to Pengcheng.

Because here Cao Cao's military advantage can be maximized.

"Therefore, even if the tyrant comes, we will be safe and sound."

And Lin Mu didn't expect that this Cao Cao had at least 150,000 troops in his hands, and he would shrink into the city like this.

Liu Xun was originally a subordinate of Yuan Shu, but later Lin Mu harshly criticized the family, causing Yuan Shu to almost declare rebellion against the Han family.

After thinking about it for a moment, I remembered.

He is like a person who wants to drink milk tea again after drinking it, and his choice is not to buy a new one, but to smack at the empty straw.

Liu Bei handed a roll of bamboo slips to Lin Mu.

They told Yuan Shujin that if they were not resolute in opposing Liu, they were resolutely not against Liu.

If it's just like that, it's a big deal not to be an official.

"Your Majesty, the minister is Liu Ye after Liu Yan, the king of Fuling, ......"

After all, he is a member of the Han family, he is talented, and he has a lot of reputation in the local area, if this kind of person has any thoughts about himself, it will be troublesome.

Xu Shao even commented that Liu Ye is a talent in the world.

Ten times the enemy, you can encircle and annihilate the enemy, five times the enemy can attack directly, twice as many as the enemy, divide the enemy, and if you are equal to the enemy, you will find a way to break them one by one, and if you are less than the enemy, you will find a way to escape.

This crossbow was originally a pre-Qin thing, but it was improved by Cao Cao and placed on the city.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the soldiers came to report to the forest.

There is no ruthlessness at all.,Once you catch the enemy's flaws.,Risking your life to kill the enemy.。

Pengcheng is too strong, and too tall.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Bei said.

After all, if you want to attack the city, you must also have a long ladder.

Xun Yu's thoughts were actually not really spoken, he felt that Cao Cao's plan was still too cowardly, and since the new defeat, he didn't look like the former hero at all.

"If this is true, the battle array is based on its own strengths, and the shortcomings of attacking the enemy, and now the walls of Pengcheng City are solid, if you abandon them, isn't it no different from fighting a naked beast?"

In this way, Yuan Shu wanted to kill Liu Ye directly.

But he didn't expect Yuan Shu to be like crazy, and after seeing that he announced his rebellion against the Han family, he would get so much support from the family.

The imperial army came to Xuzhou from Sizhou, and although Chen Liuliang was included in the territory along the way, how much could be levied even if the new annexed land was levied?

Most of them are not to be transported from Sizhou to Xuzhou.

Although Cao Ren was puzzled, he also acted in accordance with Cao Cao's admonition and began to build city defenses.

This Liu Ye was originally a native of Huainan Chenghui, although he was a member of the Han family, but he was not like a certain Han family member who was so downtrodden that he made a living selling straw shoes.

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei went out of the big tent and began to arrange for people to go to the front of the battle to scold Cao Cao.

Cao Cao laughed as he spoke, and all the generals and strategists began to laugh as well.

Now these days, I like to give myself the name of a Han clan, and even only report the name of my ancestors and not myself.

After Lin Mu took the bamboo slip, he took a look at it and threw it aside, Cao Cao couldn't make up his mind.

The key is that this Liu Ye is not ordinary, he killed his father's favored waiter when he was thirteen years old.

Cao Cao even dared to believe that if he dared to divide his troops, the Son of Heaven with 10,000 soldiers and horses could block the city gate and kill them.

Lin Mu shook his head, Cao Cao was already resourceful and decisive, how could it be possible to lure Cao Cao into battle.

At this time, it is strange not to take revenge for personal gain.

Liu Ye looked at the table of wine and food and did not eat it.

In fact, Cao Cao didn't know that what Xun Yu said was a good strategy, but where did Cao Cao dare to divide his troops now?

In terms of the state that the imperial army can be like a madman, what is the difference between dividing troops and sending people to their heads at this time?

The clothes on his body were almost gone, but it could be seen from the remaining clothes that this person's clothes were not ordinary.

Pengcheng was originally Cao Cao's newly occupied land, and Cao Cao had not completely domesticated the local area.

Lin Mu didn't expect this Liu Ye to have such a bad fate.

began to become more intense, Yuan Shu was brave and indecisive, and extremely short-sighted.

Fortunately, Liu Ye has not had no friends in the local area for so many years, and after getting the news, Liu Ye fled with his family overnight.

Therefore, Cao Cao was very concerned about the fortification of the city, and even patrolled the city walls every day.

It's okay now, Liu Ye is a clan, and he also has the talent of Sashi, how can this be obtained?

"Your Majesty, there is a person who has come to ask for a meeting, and he claims to be Liu Yanhou, the king of Fuling in Huainan."

It can even be said that there is a hint of welcome in it, and after thinking about it for a while, it is also understood.

Lin Mu smiled when he saw this, although this Liu Ye was not very loyal to the Han family, he seemed to be good to his family.

Among them is a kind of ballista, and I don't know where Cao Cao got it.

Lin Mu said a little strangely.

Liu Bei thought about it for a long time, but there was nothing he could do.

Where did Yuan Shu think so much, in his opinion, he profited from being anti-Han, so he should work harder to oppose Han.

Cao Cao repeatedly sent people out of the city to break through, but it was okay for the 50,000 army to confront Pengcheng, but it was impossible to surround Pengcheng.

Lin Mu wanted to expel people, but after thinking for a while, this Cao Cao couldn't hold out anyway, and he didn't have anything to do, so he asked the soldiers to summon this person in.

But he didn't expect to be robbed by Cao Ren's subordinates again.

After all, now not only Cao Cao is closed, but even Cao Ren is also closed, how did he get robbed by Qingzhou soldiers?

Therefore, Cao Cao spoke again.

As we all know, there is no higher merit than the Savior, and no poison is better than starvation.

The long ladder could not support it at all under the attack of such a ballista.

In this way, the situation has changed, he Yuan Shu rebelled against the Han family, and you Liu Xun dare to take in the Han clan?

Cao Cao opened his mouth to tell his plan, and the many strategists and generals sitting down were a little surprised.

But Xun Yu himself looked at Cao Cao with a strange look in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, this is the current situation in Pengcheng."

In this case, even the forest itself has no way to climb up.

This person's family background is also quite generous, he used to be the superintendent of the post first, and then followed Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang.

"Maybe you can lure the enemy into battle?"

Although there is no jade seal now, if the people's hearts are boiling today, Yuan Shu claimed that he did not respect the Han order and got benefits.

Cao Cao warned Cao Ren that he must not go out of the city to fight with the imperial army, and once he was surrounded by the imperial army, he would either hold the city or break through and run away.

As soon as Lin Mu finished speaking, the man fell to his knees and began to cry, and only then did he speak a short time later.

When the two armies face each other, the competition is which of the two sides makes fewer mistakes.

However, what made Lin Mu wonder was why this Liu Ye was robbed by Cao Ren's men?

But the prerequisite for the retreat of the imperial army was to be able to hold the city.

Cao Ren said that he betrayed Cao Cao, but in fact, he was in the same family as Cao Cao at all.

Since ancient times, it has been surrounded by ten, attacked by five, cut down by double, and the enemy can fight, and the few are escaped.

Even Xun Yu himself laughed a little embarrassed.

Lin Mu smiled when he saw this, and then asked the soldier to bring the wine and meat.

Everyone understands that Cao Cao is preparing to rob the grain.

Xun Yu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

It was supposed to be a good life, but what he didn't expect was.

Therefore, Cao Cao could only find another reason to prevaricate Xun Yu.

In addition, Cao Cao himself was not a man, and allowed the 100,000 Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Ren's command to loot Xuzhou.

Xun Yu wanted to correct Cao Cao, but after glancing at Xu Huang and Le Jin who were silent, he didn't say much, but just echoed Cao Cao's embarrassed laughter.

But in the end, it was also a ploy, and Lin Mu could only nod.

In this day and age, it is not easy to eat a meal with meat.

It's not something that a warrior can solve.

The army also began to prepare the equipment to defend the city, and Cao Ren, who was in Xiapi, also received Cao Cao's handwritten letter.

After Lin Mu listened to it, he understood why this Liu Ye was looking for him.

Therefore, after Xuzhou today, no one came to die.

"Your Majesty, the courtier's wife and young son are still outside the tent, and they haven't eaten for two days."

Usually, the people eat twice a day, and they still eat dry when they are busy and drink thin when they are free.

This made Liu Ye really unable to bear this breath.

Often, before the imperial army pushed the siege equipment under the city, the siege equipment on the city wall destroyed the siege equipment.

"Who are you, and why are you seeing me?"

In this case, if you are hungry once, your hands and feet will become weak, you may not even be able to hold a weapon after two hungry meals, and you may not be able to run after three hungry meals.

As soon as Xun Yu said this, many strategists nodded.

If Liu Ye is just Liu Bei, he is just an ordinary Qingzhu clan.

Liu Ye saluted Lin Mu and then said.

You must know that this era is different from the later generations, the later generations can make rice and white rice casually, can't afford to eat beef and pork, can't afford to eat pork, and buy a dozen pieces of roast duck on the side of the road can also eat.

Where is there any oil and water in the stomach?

Not long after, a man walked into a large tent in the woods.

In the original history, Yuan Shu got a jade seal, and he thought that he was destined to return, so he hastily became the emperor.

Now, if we can find a way to cut off the grain route of the imperial court, wouldn't it be possible for the imperial army to retreat without a fight?

Seeing that the soldier had to be ordered to leave, Liu Ye began to eat.

Seeing Lin Mu ask, Liu Ye was about to speak, but there was a noise in his stomach.

And there are too few of his own people, Cao Cao already has an army of more than 100,000, plus he now occupies Pengcheng, and has the support of many families, it can be said that the soldiers are full of food.

Now that Cao Cao is shrinking into the city, how can Liu Bei have any way.

"Lord, now our army has 100,000 people, and the soldiers are good enough to eat, if it is allowed to be attacked by the imperial army, I am afraid that the momentum will be weakened, why not harass with a small group of cavalry, mess with its arrangement, let it retreat without a fight, and then send a general to be stationed outside the city, and Pengcheng is a corner of each other."

The power of this ballista is extremely impressive, and because of its condescending position, the range is extremely high.

But even so, Cao Cao actually began to say that the city is high and the pool is deep, but he can ensure that he is safe and sound.

Therefore, the army had no choice but to let these cavalry break through.

Because some time ago, Cao Cao said that he would take the initiative to attack, and now he has begun to talk about defending the city.

"What now?"

It's the same as the mood that he should be called emperor since he got the jade seal.

In this case, how could the people of Xuzhou have any good feelings for Cao Cao?

Since this is the case, it is even more crazy, not only does not respect the Han family, but also begins to expel the Han clan relatives on their own territory.

Just after Liu Bei left, a soldier came to the forest tent and reported to the forest.

No matter how strong an army is, how can it fight without food?

It is true that defending the city can defend the city, but it is not a long-term solution.

"Now the imperial army from Sizhou through Yanzhou, to Xuzhou, can be described as a long-distance labor expedition, the grain road is not not long, if the grain road ......"

And the person who can vote for Yuan Shu after Yuan Shu announced that he does not respect the Han family, you can't expect him to be too rational.

In this way, he fled all the way from Huainan to Xuzhou, and originally planned to take root in Xuzhou.

Lin Mu waved his hand and motioned to the guards around him to bring Liu Ye's wife and son into the village so that they could settle down.

In addition, there are many families who fled from Sizhou to Huainan, maybe some of these families are more sensible, but after they are gathered, they are different.

Many of these people were killed by Lin Mu, and many of their family members were killed.

On the same day, Lin Mu tentatively asked Liu Bei to lead people to attack the city to try it, but in vain.

"Why doesn't Ziyang eat it?"

Lin Mu looked up and realized that this person was so miserable.

…………

Since entering Pengcheng, Lin Mu obviously found that the local people in Pengcheng did not seem to have obvious malice towards the imperial army.

And others don't know, can Xun Yu still not know?

And the most important thing is that there are city defense equipment prepared by Cao Cao in Pengcheng.

With the addition of Cao Ren's army, it can be five times the army of the imperial court.

Where are there people who fight 100,000 or 50,000 and are still nesting in the city, waiting for others to attack the city.

Lin Mu looked at the soldiers, thinking about who this King of Fuling was.

Speaking of this, Cao Cao stopped talking.

After thinking about it for a while, everyone nodded.

Although Cao Cao's army can't do ten or five now, there is no problem with doubling it.

After the army entered Xuzhou, it set up camp outside Pengcheng.

So Liu Ye was cut off by Liu Xun, and Liu Ye's position was gone.

The king of Fuling was Liu Yan, the seventh son of Emperor Guangwu, and after Liu Yan was accused by others of plotting a rebellion, Emperor Guangwu was unwilling to kill him, so he was thrown in Huainan.
