The sound of Mingjin sounded, and the Tiance Cao soldiers, who were thinking about the attack of Puyang City, even if they were unwilling in their hearts, they still slowly retreated to the rear.

The retreat of Tiance Cao's soldiers made Bai Rao and the Yellow Turban soldiers on the Puyang city wall exhale together, and their hearts relaxed suddenly.

In this siege battle, although the Yellow Turban Army finally repelled the attack of Tiance Cao's soldiers, the fierce spirit of Tiance soldiers and the bloodthirsty eyes like wild wolves were firmly imprinted in their hearts, and every surviving Yellow Turban Army soldier had a trace of awe and fear in the hearts of Tiance Cao Jun.

And those Yellow Turban Army, who were originally a little wrong with their eyes, looked at the white-collar workers who were relieved at this time, and the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who were the commander of the city wall were cleaning the city wall, and the two sides glanced at each other, and they both saw the color of ill will and resentment.

In the Puyang city wall, because of the powerful offensive of Tiance Cao's army, Cao Cao, who collected his troops and returned to the camp, did not show his face xiàn, but he was also a little irritable in his heart.

Although he knew that Puyang City was not easy to capture, Cao Cao did not expect that it would be so difficult to break, you must know that this attack, 70,000 Tiance Cao's army took turns to attack, but even so, he still did not capture Puyang City, which was only guarded by 20,000 Yellow Turban soldiers.

If it weren't for the previous times and this time, Cao Cao saw the bravery of his soldiers with his own eyes, and he would have thought that it was because the soldiers did not do their best.

& Male. ”

Cao Cao looked up at Cao Ren, who opened the big tent and walked in, and asked, "Zixiao, has the number of casualties of our army been counted?" ”

In this siege, our army suffered more than 3,000 casualties, of which 1,535 were killed, 846 were seriously wounded, and 659 were lightly wounded. Cao Ren stood in front of Cao Cao, clenched his fists and answered the casualties he had just counted.

&More than 3,000 people died・・・・・・" Cao Cao muttered in a low voice, not knowing what was in his mind.

This kind of Cao Cao made Cao Ren think that Cao Cao was not satisfied with the results achieved after suffering so many casualties, so he hurriedly said: "Lord, although our army has many casualties, the enemy's casualties must be almost twice as many as our army, at least more than 5,000 people." ”

Cao Ren didn't lie about this, after going through the statistics, Cao Ren came to the conclusion in his heart that the Yellow Turban Army in Puyang City had at least more than 5,000 casualties, and as the besieging party, it was able to fight such a result of almost two to one, which was already very good in Cao Ren's opinion.

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Ren and did not speak, although Cao Ren's words were true, but there was also some comfort in them, not to mention that even if they could play a battle loss ratio like today in the future, even if they captured Puyang City, the Tiance army would lose 12,000 to 13,000 soldiers.

What's more, to be able to play such a battle loss ratio today, in addition to the bravery and fearlessness of the Tiance soldiers, the sudden appearance of the catapult shocked and caught the Yellow Turban Army off guard, which is also a very important factor, so in Cao Cao's view, it is already very good to be able to play a one-to-one battle loss ratio in the siege war after that.

However, Cao Cao only thought about these words in his heart, and did not say them, after waving his hand to let Cao Ren sit aside, Cao Cao turned to Guo Jia in the lower left of him and asked: "Fengxiao, the city wall of Puyang is strong and majestic, if you continue to attack, even if you take it, the casualties of our army will not be too small, I don't know what Fengxiao can do." ”

& If the Duke wants to take Puyang City with small casualties, then he must first lure Bai Rao out of the city, but according to the time when our army first came, Bai Rao did not take the opportunity to go out of the city and attack the camp to see Bai Rao's person, and he was very cautious, if he wanted such a person to leave Puyang City・・・・・・"

Guo Jia said this, he didn't say any more, but with a wry smile on his face, Guo Jia also felt a little helpless when he met a guard like Bai Rao, who was like a hedgehog and was guarding Puyang City wholeheartedly.

& So, is it necessary to attack it?! Cao Cao said with some unwillingness.

Cao Cao also said this sentence because he was unwilling in his heart, and he didn't expect to get any answer, but he didn't want Guo Jia to hear this, so he smiled slightly and said: "There are other ways, it's not impossible, it just depends on whether the lord agrees." ”

& What is the plan of Feng Xiao, come quickly! Cao Cao, who didn't expect Guo Jia to really have a plan, said with a boost of spirit after hearing this.

& Public, the strategy is very simple, in general, it is just a combination of the inside and the outside, the Yellow Turban Army under the command of Bai Rao, speaking of which, is just some people who have no way to live, even if most of them have become die-hard because of the teachings of the Yellow Turban Army, but I believe that such people can never be all, because people can never be the same. ”

Guo Jia, who had a confident smile on his face, faced Cao Cao and said with a smile: "As long as part of the Yellow Turban Army is not more vain, then the lord can use them to open the gate of Puyang City, and uniting those Yellow Turban Army is only the first part, the second part, even if you contact the big families in Puyang City, as long as you unite with them, then under the combination of inside and outside, how strong and majestic Puyang City is, it will inevitably break the city in the end." ”

Guo Jia's words made Cao Cao suddenly enlightened, and at this time he thought that he had always been confined to the battlefield, thinking about how to destroy the opponent's troops, and taking Puyang City, but he never thought about starting from outside the battlefield.

It's just that Cao Cao has a question, that is, how could Guo Jia know that some of the Yellow Turban Army are not of the same mind as Bai Rao, and Cao Cao, who was puzzled by this, immediately asked Guo Jia.

Guo Jia heard Cao Cao's question, and said with a smile: "The lord doesn't know, when the siege battle was just now, there was a small number of Yellow Turban soldiers who were in the rear from beginning to end. ”

When Guo Jia said this, his tone could be described as meaningful, so that Cao Cao immediately understood why Guo Jia thought that some of the Yellow Turban Army and Bai Rao were not of the same mind.

>& So, but how can you tell which are the Yellow Turban soldiers who are willing to surrender? ”

Although Guo Jia's plan is simple, it is very suitable for this time, the only problem is how to identify those who want to surrender to the Yellow Turbans, those who are with Bai Rao, if something goes wrong in the end, and Bai Rao finds out, it will not be good.

& Don't worry, we don't need to contact us, if the lowly office is expected, then tonight, someone will come to the Lord to vote for sincerity. ”

Looking at Guo Jia's confident face, Cao Cao also laughed and said, "Then, I'll wait for those Yellow Turban soldiers who will come." ”
