But is this money bank reliable?

The people of the family must not be able to trust it all, otherwise they will fall into power.

If you send cronies to install them in the money bank and control some of them, you should be able to contain the family.

"Alas!"

Cao Cao sighed, with a hint of self-deprecation on his face, right now Lu Bu is still in Chen, it's still a little too early to think about this.

"I hope Cheng Yu can come up with a trick to help Xia Houyuan take advantage of the victory to capture Chen Liu, and solve the civil strife in Yanzhou as soon as possible!" Cao Cao muttered to himself, his thoughts drifting into the distance.

……

…………

Under Chen Liucheng, Cao's army besieged the city on all sides, and several generals took turns to lead the troops to attack, making the defenders of the city precarious.

Xia Houyuan, as the main general, personally supervised the battle in the rear, as long as there was a cower, he was dragged out and killed, which has boosted the morale of the army.

If you retreat, you will die, and Cao Jun's bloody nature will be completely aroused, and he will climb to the city without fear of death, and fight with the defenders.

And the defenders of the city tower, after getting Lu Bu's military order, also gritted their teeth and insisted, and fought frantically with Cao Jun.

Both sides fought for their lives, and after a day of strong attack, they suffered heavy losses.

As the sky darkened, Cao's army slowly retreated back to the camp, and the soldiers defending the city also gasped on the dilapidated city tower, glad to hold on for another day.

In Cao's camp, the soldiers who had fought hard for a day, their chests were already hungry and their backs were sticking to their backs, and they put down their weapons and went to the room to get food.

In the handsome tent, Xia Houyuan was discussing with the generals how to break the city.

Chen Liu is the last city of Lu Bu, and it is common sense that it is difficult to break through.

Xia Houyuan looked at the generals, and said with a displeased face: "After three days of strong attack, the soldiers suffered heavy losses, but there was no result at all, which made Ben how to restore the lord." ”

Hearing this, all the generals were ashamed and bowed their heads silently.

Seeing this, Cheng Yu on the side opened his mouth and said: "Yes, if you can't attack again, the 50,000 soldiers will chew and swallow, and dragging can also drag us down." ”

When Xia Houyuan heard this, he asked anxiously: "Mr. Zhongde, do you have a good plan, if the army is defeated, we really can't substitute for the main bus." ”

Cheng Yu touched his chin and beard, and replied: "It will be a soldier's courage, if every time there is a warrior who takes the lead in charging, he may be able to take the city in one fell swoop." ”

As soon as the words fell, the short Le Jin stood up and said: "Mr. is right, Le Jin is not talented, and he is willing to lead the army to attack the city first tomorrow." ”

After Le Jin finished speaking, all the generals got up and expressed their attitudes. "If you don't want to take the lead, if you don't break the city, you will die!"

"Good!" Seeing that the generals were united, Xia Houyuan, as the commander-in-chief, showed a hint of relief on his face. "Tomorrow's siege of the city, you will go first, and if you die in battle, you will make up for it in person."

"Yes!" All the generals replied in unison, and then fell into place.

Seeing this, Xia Houyuan opened his mouth and said, "In this case, everyone should go back and rest first, recuperate, and prepare for the siege." ”

Seeing the generals leaving, Cheng Yu opened his mouth and said: "General Xia Hou, today the grain officer came to report, saying that the army's food is only enough for three days, and the city must be broken as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be very serious." ”

Xia Houyuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "It seems that tomorrow is the decisive moment, I hope I can win it." ”

Seeing this, Cheng Yu shook his head helplessly, after all, no matter how many conspiracies and tricks there are, without considerable strength, he will not be able to succeed.

Outside the city is in the grip of food shortage, and inside the city is not much better.

Cao's army besieged the city for three days, and the offensive became more and more fierce day by day, if it weren't for Lu Bu's prestige to calm the army's heart, I was afraid that the city would have been lost.

In the Taishou Mansion, Zhang Miao and Lu Bu sat on the top respectively, and on both sides of the two, there were also dozens of strategists and generals.

Zhang Miao's face was pale, he had already lost his sense of proportion, and his eyes were blank and he sat down.

The counties that had previously descended from Yanzhou also fell back into Cao Cao's arms when Cao Cao came back, knowing that they would kill them all.

But the matter has come to this, no matter how much Zhang Miao regrets it, he can't change the status quo.

On the other hand, Lu Bu's expression was better than Zhang Miao, but he couldn't hide the fatigue on his body.

Inside the room, there was an atmosphere of loss, and everyone had a trace of confusion on their faces, not knowing where to live.

Just when everyone was silent, the lord Bo Wang Harmony on the side broke the atmosphere and said: "At present, Chen Liu's danger is at stake, and the only way to ask Yuan Shu for help may be to turn defeat into victory." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Hearing this, Zhang Miao's eyes regained a hint of expression, and he hurriedly said to Lu Bu: "This is reasonable, in order to persuade Yuan Shu, Miao will personally go to ask for help tomorrow, and please protect me from the siege first." ”

Now it is a dead end, there is a little hope, and Lu Bu is willing to give it a try. "Okay, Nabu will help Brother Meng Zhuo tomorrow and fight his way out of the encirclement."

On the side, Zhang Liao heard that Lu Bu agreed, and he was anxious to open his mouth to persuade him, but when he thought that Zhang Miao was still present, he could only hold back his stomach.

With hope, Zhang Miao was a lot more stable, seeing that it was getting late, and he was going to prepare to leave the city tomorrow, so he said:

"Since this is the case, then Chen Liu will trouble Feng Xian to keep watch for as many days as possible, and Miao will definitely move in to rescue the soldiers."

Lu Bu replied: "Brother Zhongde, don't worry, if you keep it for ten days and a half months, there will be no problem." ”

"Well, that's good, the generals will have to fight hard tomorrow, so go back and rest quickly." Zhang Miao found an excuse and let everyone leave.

After discussing a glimmer of vitality and hope, everyone also felt fatigue, so they got up and left.

And Zhang Liao had something on his mind, and deliberately slowed down his pace and got close to Lu Bula.

Seeing Zhang Liao in front, Lu Bu sped up and caught up and said: "Wenyuan, you have worked hard for the past few days, so that you can't accompany your pregnant lady, wait for Zhang Taishou to invite reinforcements and repel Cao's army, you can take a good rest." ”

Zhang Liao's eyes quickly swept around, and saw that the others were still some distance away from the two of them, so he lowered his voice and said:

"Feng Xian, that Zhang Miao didn't leave early or late, why did he choose to leave at this time, isn't there anything else in it?"

Well? There is some truth in this, could it be that Zhang Miao wants to use the excuse of asking for help, and running away is the real purpose?

Lu Bu froze with a smile on his face, and asked unsurely: "Are you saying that Zhang Miao wants to leave us as bait, and he escapes alone." ”

Zhang Liao replied affirmatively: "Yes, Feng Xian, think about it, if you go to Yuzhou, once you come and go, I'm afraid that Chen Liu's city has already been broken." ”

A sense of shame of being deceived surged into Lu Bu's heart, making his face flush, and he stopped, turned around and wanted to question Zhang Miao.

But before he could take half a step, he was pulled by Zhang Liao. "Wen Yuan, why are you stopping me? Cloth is going to ask ......"

As soon as Lu Bu said halfway, his mouth was covered, Zhang Liao hurriedly got some distance closer and whispered:

"Feng Xian can't be impulsive, this is the time for unity, if you are unhappy with Zhang Miao, I am afraid that before the Cao army attacks the city, we will have collapsed internally."

Seeing a few people in front of him turning their heads slightly, Lu Bu hurriedly retracted his figure and walked forward pretending to be nothing.

When no one was paying attention, Lu Bu whispered: "Wen Yuan, what should I do now, just drag Cao Jun for Zhang Miao?" ”

Zhang Liao thought for a while and replied: "When Zhang Miao leaves, Feng Xian will lead most of the troops to protect his family first, and Liao will stay behind." ”
