Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 449 Difficulties (thanks to [Feifei Feiyangyang] for the reward)

Bingzhou?

Many people were puzzled after hearing Lu Yan's words, "Why is this suddenly related to Bingzhou?"

Some people who have a better relationship with Lu Yan include Cao Cao, and they quickly figured out the joints.

Lu Yan mentioned Bingzhou because of his wife, Lu Lingqi.

Cao Cao smiled inwardly, and said, "Mr. Lu is trying to show off in front of his wife. Also, if we can drive out the alien race in Bingzhou, Lu Lingqi and Lu Bu will definitely be the happiest."

Lu Yan cupped his hands and explained to some colleagues who didn't know why: "Yan once promised Madam that she would give her father a satisfactory dowry. Marquis Wen was born in Bingzhou, and he has seen too much cruelty when foreign races raged.

The original intention of Marquis Wen's army was also to drive out the Hu people, but he didn't want to just be assigned a civilian job, and he was always depressed.

Although he lost himself for a while later, but now he has regained his original intention.”

Standing not far from Lu Yan's strike, Zhang Liao couldn't help but nodded slightly. He had always been with Lv Bu because of Lv Bu's pride and ambition.

"It also means to please my father-in-law." Guo Jia suddenly muttered behind his back.

Lu Yan turned his head and glared at Guo Jia. The guy quickly covered his mouth and made a gesture of shutting up.
"Okay, I promise you!" Cao Cao replied straightforwardly.

"So, thank you Duke Cao."

"Why do you and I need to be so polite? Come on, come on, there is one more problem, how about you solve it together?"

"."

Boss Cao's vicious face of a capitalist is clearly revealed at this moment.

But the second problem is really hard to solve.

The high-ranking cadres in Bingzhou, and the reinforcements of Yuan Xi, Yuan Tan and Wuhuan in Youzhou may have 10,000+ people in total.
In addition, they are fighting locally, so supplies are very easy,

However, Cao Jun's supply line is long, and if he is not careful, he will be dragged into the quagmire, and it will be difficult to get out of the whole body.

It may be difficult to encircle and fight for reinforcements. Yuan Xi of Youzhou is likely to go south with Yuan Tan and Wuhuan people. If Cao Cao allocates too many troops to stop them, Yuan Shao may come out here directly.

If Yecheng is captured in a short period of time, Yuan Shao will surely perish; if he fails to capture Yecheng before reinforcements arrive, Cao's army will be in a dilemma.

Seeing that Lu Yan was silent, Cao Cao thought that even Lu Yan could do nothing for the time being.

In order not to embarrass Lu Yan, Cao Cao immediately turned to Guo Jia and asked, "Feng Xiao, I remember that when Shouchun was breached, Mr. Lu and the shadow guard Li Yingwai opened the city gate. Can we repeat the old trick?"

Guo Jia thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not."

Seeing Lao Cao's puzzled face, Guo Jia explained: "At the beginning, Changsheng was able to complete the strategy of coordinating internally and externally, because Yuan Shu's general, Lei Bo, had long been dissatisfied with Yuan Shu. After receiving Changsheng's order, the shadow guard successfully instigated rebellion. Lei Bo opened the city gate, not by the Shadow Guard himself.

Although now Yuan Shao's subordinates are some people who are trying to catch fame, but it is undeniable that these people are all loyal to Yuan Shao. "

Therefore, this path does not work.

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and said, "That's it. We can only take a step forward now."

Seeing Cao Cao's frowning expression, Xia Houyuan strode forward, clasped his fists and said, "Brother, give me 5 horses, and I will attack Yecheng tomorrow and capture and kill Yuan Shao!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiu couldn't help but babbled, thinking: "Is it possible that these warriors have stuffed muscles in their brains? Forced siege consumes a lot of energy, so it's not the best choice."

Cao Cao thought, "Anyway, we still have to try the city defense."

So he opened his mouth and said to Xia Houyuan: "Since that's the case, you will attack from the south gate tomorrow to test how the city's defenses are."

Xia Houyuan didn't expect that Lao Cao would really agree. After a moment of surprise, he clasped his fists and said, "Here!"

After Xia Houyuan returned to his position, Cao Cao looked at the others and shouted, "Le Jin, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan!"

"The end is here!"

"Let the three of you attack from the other three gates at the same time! Remember, we are just testing, don't put all your eggs in one basket."

"The last general takes orders!"

Yecheng.

It has been almost a month since Cao Jun besieged Yecheng, and the siege of the city has been continuous.

During the month,
Lao Cao piled up earth mountains, dug tunnels, and lost nearly half of his trebuchets, but he was still unable to break through Yecheng.Yuan Jun's tenacity is beyond the imagination of everyone in Cao Ying.

Today, just when Cao Cao was about to continue to grind the city, a spies came to report that Jiang Qi, the general who reported the battle in Wei County before, was now leading [-] soldiers and horses towards Yecheng. , should have stepped into Ye County at this moment.

Cao Cao hurriedly ordered Cao Chun and Cao Xiu to lead 1 tiger and leopard riders to delay, and ordered Cao Ren to lead [-] people to stop Jiang Qi.

At the same time, Cao Cao ordered people to dig ditches around Yecheng day and night, diverting water to besiege Yecheng, so that the defenders in the city could not leave the city, and the reinforcements from outside could not enter the city.

Lao Cao seemed to want to trap Yuan Shao until he ran out of ammunition and food and gave up resistance.

On the second day of excavation, Cao Chun was only ten miles away from Jiang Qi's troops.

After the scouts reported Jiang Qi's exact location, Cao Xiu suddenly had an idea: "General, we might as well pretend to be Yuan Jun's rout and approach Jiang Qi's army.

If we take Yuan Jun to fight General Pingbei (Cao Ren) and give them a surprise attack from behind, maybe we can throw them into chaos and defeat Yuan Jun in one fell swoop! "

Cao Chun felt that Cao Xiu's idea was good, so he said: "Wen Lie, you have a good plan, then let's go back and discuss with General Pingbei, he should have many captured Yuan Jun's armor and flags."

Cao Ren was leading the army in a hurry, when a scout came to report that Cao Chun and Cao Xiu had returned.

While Cao Ren was surprised, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu had already arrived hand in hand.

"Brother!" Cao Chun greeted him from afar.

When he got there, Cao Xiu cupped his fists and said, "I've seen General Pingbei!"

Cao Ren patted Cao Chun's arm first, then helped Cao Xiu up and said, "Why did you two come back so soon? Did something happen?"

"It's not that there's anything, but that Wen Lie thought of a plan." Cao Chun said here, and then expressed Cao Xiu's thoughts.

Cao Ren turned his head to look at Cao Xiu, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You are worthy of being called by the elder brother as the descendant of my Cao Family's Thousand Miles Horse. That's right, it's a good habit to use your brain more!"

Although Cao Xiu got the compliment, he was very happy in his heart, but he still acted very humble, "Thank you uncle for the compliment!"

"There happen to be quite a few Yuan Shao Banner Armors in our army, you just go and get them."

"Here!" Cao Chun clasped his fists in his promise, and asked again: "Brother, do you think we can break through Ye City this time?"

Cao Ren seemed to reply confidently: "Don't worry, there has never been a hurdle that the elder brother and the mister can't get through!"

Seeing Cao Ren's confidence, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu felt at ease,
"That being the case, let's prepare first."

"Go."
