Cao Mengde, who was extremely angry, immediately waved his army and killed him.

However, the current Xiliang soldiers knew that there was no way out, and they actually launched an unprecedented counterattack outside the imperial city.

Cao Cao's vanguard was commanded by the general Cao Ren, but what he didn't expect was that Cao Ren's shot was supposed to be devastating and decaying, and the rhythm of being invincible all the way was actually killed by Lu Bu's iron cavalry, and no piece of armor was left, and five thousand soldiers and horses were immediately turned into corpses in one place.

"Come on, get on the oil drum, attack with fire!" Cao Cao shouted angrily.

Liu Ji on the side hurriedly said: "The lord can't, if the oil barrel is smashed over, when the time comes, the emperor will be implicated in the Weiyang Palace, not to mention that there are hundreds of civil and military officials, if the lord uses this strategy, he will inevitably be criticized by the world!" ”

"What then?" Cao Mengde was anxious.

Although Cao Mengde's current power is terrifying, in the final analysis, he is just a mortal, he is not a god, and he cannot stage the scene of a god descending to earth.

And in this era, one can't be opened, and the other can't use future technology, it can be said that the other party uses an iron bucket array to surround the entire imperial city, even if we have some advantages here, if we attack strongly, it is still a double injury strategy.

Cao Ren's defeat made Lu Bu's side magnificent and powerful, like the sky.

Liu Ji pondered for a moment and said: "There is a plan below, which can resolve the urgent situation of the imperial city without spending a single soldier!" ”

"Sir, come on!" Cao Mengde said immediately.

Liu Ji stroked his beard, and he said confidently: "If the Zimu River in Chang'an is throttled and rerouted, if there is no water source and food, how long can they last?" ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and he laughed proudly: "Bowen Liangce, come on!" ”

Saying that, Cao Cao let people start to surround the imperial city, the Xiliang Iron inside couldn't get out, and the people outside couldn't attack it, and Cao Cao let people capture the outside of the imperial city, after Dong Zhuo's granary, the city finally began to be short of grain and grass.

We camped outside the palace, and at this time Guo Jia shook his head and said: "This strategy is too poisonous, if it goes on like this, not only the soldiers and horses of Dong Thief are hungry, I'm afraid the emperor is also hungry inside!" This civil and military official, his body and bones are not very good, and now he is starving, I really don't know what will happen! ”

"Now the dominant power is in Cao Mengde's hands, and we can't help it, so let's wait for the opportunity to move." I said.

A day passed, but there was no hunger scene in the palace so soon, and the soldiers of Xiliang continued to defend the palace without moving an inch, as if they were planning to die to the end.

I saw that the situation was deadlocked, so I went outside the city to look for Zhen Mi.

I entered the camp but learned that Diao Chan did not come, Zhen Mi said: "Husband, Sister Cicada is out of the city?" ”

"Didn't I teach her a jade pendant? Why didn't she come?! I exclaimed, but when I asked the others, I found that many of the refugees in the city had already gone east, and the sable cicada had not seen half a shadow.

Could it be that Diao Chan was taken away?

But it is unlikely that they will be captured, after all, in addition to our soldiers and horses outside the city, there are also Cao Mengde's soldiers and horses, if there are any villains, they will be discovered as soon as possible.

If it weren't for Diao Chan who left on his own and didn't want to go back with us?

However, Diao Chan also has her own consciousness, if she really wants to go somewhere, I'm afraid we can't stop it, I sent soldiers and horses to look around, but I didn't see Diao Chan.

I just got the news on the way, saying that I saw a girl in white holding Yaoqin, who left from the west, accompanied by an old Taoist in his seventies.

I don't know who the old way is, but as the saying goes, sometimes there must be in life, and there is no time in life to force it, and I am also a bosom friend with Diao Chan, and I don't have the intention of forcing her to stay, if she finds the way she wants to go, then it's okay to walk like this.

After all, everyone has the right to make their own choices, and no one can stop this right.

"Report! The imperial city reported that there was already a shortage of food in the palace, but Dong Zhuo collected all the food that had been distributed to the ministers and gave it to his soldiers to eat and drink. The herald came to the tent.

And I sat on the second seat, Cao Mengde sat on the chairman, he held a beauty in his arms, and said with fierce eyes: "Dong thief wants to die with the ministers of the court, if so, then Xiongtu and I will have to bear the world's infamy!" ”

The herald gritted his teeth and said, "The spy also said that the Dong thief has gathered the palace maids and eunuchs together, set up a cauldron, and prepared to cook human flesh after the food is cut off!" ”

"This Dong thief has lost his conscience!" Liu Ji was furious, he immediately got up, held a feather fan in his hand and said: "Lord, now it seems that Dong Thief is planning to fight us to the end!" ”

"Berwyn, do you have a plan?" Cao Mengde said.

Liu Bowen shook his head: "Unless it is attacked, but it is not good for the lord to attack!" ”

At this time, Xun Yu, who had been silent, suddenly stood up: "Lord, there is a plan below!" ”

"Say." Cao Mengde glanced at Xun Yu.

At this time, Xun Yu looks like a hero is young, and he is at the age of high spirits.

He said, "Now the palace is strong and cannot be stormed, but we can take it!" ”

"Tricky?" Cao Mengde continued, "How to get it? ”

"Xiongtu's subordinates are all elite generals, and there is no shortage of strategists, it is better to let Xiongtu come up with a lobbyist to persuade Dong Thief's generals to surrender, now Dong Zhuo is dying, I am afraid that the generals under his command already have two hearts, if it is successful, the enemy will surrender without a fight!" Xun Yu said.

"But if it fails, then my brothers will not return." I said coldly.

This Xun Yu is really vicious, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone, one is to get rid of me, the scourge, and the other is to pave a bridge for him Cao Mengde.

"Xiongtu, do you have any opinions?" Cao Mengde looked at me coldly.

At this time, I also saw Cao Mengde's true face, but it is certainly not a wise choice to fight now.

But Guan Yinping was not happy, she said angrily: "General Cao, you are forcing my family to a dead end, he goes in alone, how can those Xiliang soldiers spare him?" ”

"If you don't go in, then the ministers of the city will die, can you afford this peerless infamy?" Xun Yu sneered.

I grabbed the back of Yinping's hand, and I said, "General Cao is righteous, do your best." ”

"Haha, good, good! I knew that Lin Xiongtu was eloquent and informal, and I prepared a banquet here, just waiting for the general to return, and drink together! Cao Mengde's eyes lit up.

I smiled and bowed my hand, and immediately said, "Then let's go and prepare first!" ”

"Go ahead!"

When I came to the camp, Yinping told the original meaning of the matter, and my angry brothers began to scold my mother, and I hurriedly said: "Everyone calm down, now it is the autumn of survival!" ”

"If the lord turned his face in the camp just now, I'm afraid that the thief would have an excuse to kill the lord." Guo Jia said.

I took a deep breath: "That's right, Cao Cao asked me to persuade me to surrender, and I won't be suspicious in three days, and in these three days, you have to do the following things." ”

I thought about it for a moment and said: "On the first night, you asked most of the troops outside Chang'an City to evacuate, but there must be no fewer patrols, giving people the impression that they are still there!" ”

"The next night, the eight thousand soldiers outside the palace gate, except for the daily patrol, all left, Xu Zhuhe bit the gold and stayed, don't let the Cao thief know that we have evacuated."

"On the night of the third day, move the supplies, at the third watch, how much can be moved, and then leave all the empty tents, and then leave Chang'an City, and go to Jiuli Pavilion, a hundred miles south of Chang'an City, where we meet!"

After speaking, Xu Zhu hurriedly said, "Why is this? ”

Guo Jia explained: "This is the golden cicada's plan to get out of its shell, I'm afraid that when the Dong thief is destroyed, it will be when the Cao thief will kill us, and then they will have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to surround and annihilate us, and we will be able to escape?!" The lord is taking the opportunity to withdraw the soldiers and horses three times, so the movement is not big, and the camp tent left behind can ease the suspicion of the thief, but this move is the most dangerous for the lord, once he enters the palace, it is nine deaths! ”

"If you don't enter the palace, you will die and die." I looked at Guo Jia and said, "Rest assured, now that the river is empty, the riverbed is a good place to retreat, if I calculate correctly, I will be fine." I said.

Guan Yinping looked at me with concern, but he always bit his lip and refused to speak.
