Chapter 629: One More City

The guard general of Bo County is Sima in Xiahoudun's camp and Cao Cao's ironcore. After listening to the words of the Boxian county order, I almost couldn't help but pull a knife to cut this useless soft bone into two pieces. Just thinking that defending the city was inevitable for the cooperation of this guy, I resisted the impulse. The guard general said: "I have received the kindness of Cao Gong, and I should repay him, how can I turn my back?" If you talk nonsense again, don't blame my military law for being ruthless! With that, he walked away.

When a person is not even afraid of death, he is naturally fearless; If a person is very afraid of death, under the pressure of survival, he is naturally fearless. When the guard left, he didn't see the helpless but vicious light in the eyes of the county commander.

After learning that there were also enemy troops in the upper reaches of Wenshui, the defender completely extinguished the idea of fleeing. He planned to burn himself and the city when it was broken. Of course, people like the county commander and the county lieutenant had better die with him together, not to mention that there was a companion on the way, and everyone was also a loyal minister of the Cao family, and their reputation was preserved. Of course, he just thought so in his heart, and it was not yet time to implement it.

Tai Shici outside the city couldn't stand it after two days of siege. Huge boulders tumbled and fell, and the city walls were already full of potholes. Bundles of arrows roared and pinned the soldiers to the ground, the blood staining the ground brown, and the smell of blood was disgusting. And the wails of the wounded soldiers, day and night. Let the prefectural order feel how to walk in the ghost domain.

The county magistrate had found the best endorsement for his actions, and he was the magistrate of Cao Cao's performance to the imperial court. On the letter of appointment, the imperial court also stamped a big seal. Although that court has been destroyed by Liu Bei. But it did not prevent him from being loyal to Liu Bei's court. The imperial court will always be the imperial court. So he can't be considered a betrayal. He was a Hanchen before, is a Hanchen now, and will be in the future.

The guards fought day and night in the city for two days, taking advantage of the short time when the enemy troops outside the city retreated, and returned to the house to lie down on the couch to rest. At this time, the county commander brought a group of soldiers and horses over and surrounded the guard's mansion. The pro-soldiers outside the mansion were about to shout, but they were shot into a hornet's nest by the archers brought by the county order. The short screams outside the house did not wake up the guards. The county magistrate swaggered in. It wasn't until the guard was pressed on the couch and tied up that the guard woke up. He writhed his body angrily, looked at the county commander and scolded: "Shaft! How dare you! ”

The county commander looked at the guards and sighed: "In order to survive, I have to make this decision as a last resort, and I am guilty of sin." For the sake of this official saving the people in the city, when I get to Jiuquan, I hope that my brother Tai will not complain about me. ”

The guard couldn't break the knots on his hands and feet, and his anger turned into foul language and sprayed at the county order. If the eyes can kill, the county order is afraid that it will have turned into ashes long ago.

At the head of the city, the white flag has been hoisted high. The city gate also slowly opened under Tai Shici's gaze. The county magistrate took the lead, and a group of gentry greeted him and crouched beside the road. When Tai Shi Ci entered the city, he asked, "Where are the guards in the city?" ”

The county commander trembled and fell lower: "This person is ignorant, and he wants to resist stubbornly to stop the king." The culprit has beheaded him. Tai Shici smiled, very satisfied with the county order's knowledge of current affairs.

Boxian is lost, and if Xiahoudun doesn't leave, it will be really dangerous. Han cavalry has appeared on both sides of Wenshui.

After learning that Guan Yu was going north, Xiahoudun was preparing for the war at the same time, and the news was also passed on as soon as possible. At this time, Chen Gong, Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao, Zang Ba, Man Chong and other left-behind civil and military ministers gathered together to discuss how to deal with this situation.

At this time, Chen Gong and Cheng Yu also knew that the Lu Kingdom was over. Cheng Yu put forward an idea at this time, that is, to let Xiahou abandon Mount Tai and retreat to the flawed hill. Stabilize the position first and keep Ren Chengguo from losing. Send another partial army to entangle Liu Bei's troops in the north. The main force quickly moved south, helping Xiahou Yuan to capture Pengcheng at the same time, attacking Fuyang and Lanling, forcing Kaiyang County of Yaoyu State, outflanking Guan Yu's back road, and even abandoning Yanzhou when necessary, attacking Xuzhou with all his might.

I have to say that the vision of the ancients is really powerful, and Cheng Yu's finger is a key point. The two counties of Fuyang and Lanling had many wars in later generations, the most famous being the battles of Zaozhuang and Taierzhuang. And Kaiyang is the Linyi of later generations......

If it is really as Cheng Yu thought, he defeated Pengcheng, and successively captured Fuyang, Lanling and other places, Guan Yu's way to the south has been cut off. And Cao Jun used Yanzhou to hold back Liu Bei's footsteps, and cooperated with Yangzhou to attack Xuzhou from the north and south. In this way, after the three states of Yu, Xu, and Yang are connected together, even if there is no Yanzhou, this attack and defense will be just as handy.

Cheng Yu was seriously ill a while ago, and now he has recovered and come out to see things, and he is a big deal. Cheng Yu believes that the battle of Yanzhou has been fought until now, after being caught off guard by Tai Shici and succeeding in the raid on Mu County. In fact, there are very few strategic places that Yanzhou can defend, except for Renchengguo and Jiyin County. It's better to simply abandon it cleanly and go south to fight for Xuzhou.

Chen Gong listened to it for a long time, and his heart was also moved by Cheng Yu's words. Yanzhou is now tasteless and it is a pity to abandon it. Since Guan Yu went north in danger, Mo Ru's own army led the army south, cutting off his return to Xuzhou. Then the army made an appointment with Yangzhou and made every effort to attack Xuzhou. There are Yangzhou soldiers and horses to contain Gan Ning and Chen Deng at the river, and their own army is using troops in the hinterland of Xuzhou, who dares to stop and can stop it?

Dong Zhao, Man Pet, etc., are all based on this. I think what Cheng Yu said is very reasonable. Is it just that Xiahoudun is willing to listen to them?

Naturally, they refused to listen, and fled in a hurry before a battle was fought, which really undermined the dignity of martial artists. Xiahoudun didn't want to do that. He has soldiers and food, and two mountains to rely on, even if he can't beat it, it's a big deal to abandon the city and run to the mountains.

It's just that Xiahoudun and Lu Qian didn't know that Tai Shici had already come, and it came so quickly. Guan Yu surrounded Liang Fu and asked Xiahoudun to come out and speak. When the relationship between the Liu and Cao families was good, they also met. Xiahoudun held the sword at his waist and appeared at the head of the city.

Guan Yu looked at the city from afar and said loudly: "Brother Yuanrang, the will of heaven is hard to disobey, why not abandon the city early!" He didn't persuade Xiahoudun to surrender, he only hoped that Xiahoudun would give up resistance and get out of the city. If this can be done, he will also get out of the way and let Xiahoudun leave, so that it can be regarded as a complete friendship that was intersected back then.

Xiahoudun laughed at the head of the city: "Yun Chang, don't come unharmed!" Today I only talk about the old feelings, and don't talk about anything else, if you persuade again, you will send troops to attack. Fleeing without a fight, Xiahoudun disdains it! ”

Guan Yu sighed for a while, then collected his slightly fluctuating thoughts, ordered the three armies to set up camps, and then prepare to attack the city.
