Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 391 Critical Moment
Cao Zhen finally decided that he had to capture Hefei first.

Just as Zhang He said, if we attack Jiangdong now, it would be useless even if we win for a while.

Send troops immediately and capture Hefei with all your strength.

The 30,000-strong army advanced together, pressing forward like a dark cloud, their flags rustling fiercely in the wind.

Cao Zhen was wearing armor and riding a tall horse, but there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

but
As a general, he naturally couldn't show all his worries on his face.

After calming himself down, he gave an order and the army began to advance slowly. The shouting and screaming shook the earth, and the sound seemed to make the walls of Hefei tremble.

Cao's army surged towards Hefei City like a tide. Siege ladders were quickly set up and the soldiers scrambled to climb up, trying to rush to the city wall.

The defenders on the city wall were not to be outdone. They threw stones and poured hot oil to stop Cao's attack.

It is not easy for Hefei City to still resist after reaching this point.

All I can say is that Lu Fan and others do have some abilities.

Even Cao Zhi, who was on the city wall, felt his legs weaken after seeing this.

Looking around, arrows rained down on the battlefield, shouts and screams were intertwined, and the smell of blood filled the air.

Cao Zhi had never seen such a scene!

Now leaning against the city wall, the master was trembling and unable to stand up.

Cao Zhen was a little anxious.

He kept deploying troops in the rear, trying to find the weak points in Hefei's defenses and capture this strategic location in one fell swoop.

At this moment, Zhang He and Xu Huang had both gone up to attack the city, leaving only Yu Jin aside.

Originally, Cao Zhen thought that Hefei was an isolated city and could not put up much resistance. He did not expect that it had organized a good fighting force. He was afraid that the people from Jiangdong would come to kill him and was very anxious.

He then said to Yu Jin, "General Yu, please lead your troops and charge toward the east gate!"

"There aren't many soldiers at the East Gate, but we can definitely take the city!"

But after he finished speaking, Yu Jin didn't move at all.

Cao Zhen was stunned when he saw this, but he thought that Yu Jin was trying to make trouble and embarrass him on purpose.

He was even more anxious at the moment, so he shouted: "General Yu, are you going to disobey the military order?"

Cao Zhen was extremely anxious, but Yu Jin remained calm and said with a smile, "I dare not, if I dare to disobey the commander's order, I will be reported to the King of Wei when I return."

Cao Zhen could naturally hear the sarcasm in Yu Jin's words.

When you say you're complaining, you're just saying you're still a child!
Sure enough, I still don’t accept it!
But now is not the time to argue with Yu Jin about these things. We will talk about everything after victory.

Considering the overall situation, Cao Zhen could only be patient and said to Yu Jin: "Since you dare not disobey the military order, why don't you move?"

Yu Jin said: "Of course we have to move, but before we send out the troops, I have a suggestion for you, the Marshal."

Cao Zhen became even angrier after hearing this!

This is forbidden.
He didn't give any advice when he was asked before, but now that the decisive battle has come, he finally shows his ability!
Cao Zhen was filled with hatred!

He gritted his teeth and said, "General Yu, what's your idea? Do you have to tell me now?"

Of course Yu Jin could see that Cao Zhen was very anxious.

But today, things have gotten to the point where he and Cao Zhen have indeed fallen out.

The reason for all this is that they are dissatisfied with Cao Zhen, but in fact they are dissatisfied with Cao Pi. To put it bluntly, Cao Pi is indeed a little anxious. How can Yu Jin, the former number one general of a foreign family, feel happy when he is commanded by a young man?
It’s definitely not pleasant!
This was intended to make things difficult for Cao Zhen and embarrass him.

However, Yu Jin couldn't go too far. When he said he had a proposal, it wasn't just something he said casually.

But Yu Jin said, "But let me ask you, Marshal, why are we here today?"

Cao Zhen was already getting a little anxious, and when he heard Yu Jin act like he wanted to start from the beginning, he became even more impatient.

Que Hu said, "General Yu, if you have any ideas, just tell us directly. We are here to capture Hefei before Jiangdong does."

After saying that, Yu Jin nodded first, then shook his head, and said indifferently: "No, no, what you said is not right!"

"What's wrong?" Cao Zhen became more and more annoyed.

Yu Jin looked at Cao Zhen’s expression and knew that it was almost time, so he finally spoke out his thoughts.

But he said: "We came here to capture the rebellious Cao Zhi, not to really pacify Hefei."

"This time we are fighting to the death, with an attitude of not leaving any one alive. Naturally, the people in the city will resist desperately."

"If we tell Sun Quan that he will continue to be the Marquis of Wu as long as Cao Zhi is handed over, why would we have to fight to the death like this?"

"This is exactly the case of attacking the heart first and attacking the city second!"

My goodness, with just a few words, Yu Jin directly judged Cao Zhen’s siege plan as a bad idea!

But we have to admit that there is indeed nothing wrong with Yu Jin's statement.

He didn't want Sun Quan's head, he just wanted to capture Cao Zhi.

However.
One question is, Xu Yi's death.
Before Xu Yi died, there was nothing wrong with doing this.

After Xu Yi died, things got a bit troublesome.

Think about the consequences if we follow Yu Jin’s approach.

It was obvious that he didn't even need to move troops. He only needed to force Hefei and make Sun Quan hand over Cao Zhi and surrender, and he could easily complete Cao Pi's order. However, he ended up killing Xu Chu's only son.

Although Xu Chu is dead, how much did Cao Cao love him back then?
How can he explain the death of his only son in vain?

By then, you won't have accomplished anything and will be in a lot of trouble!
Killing move!
This is exactly the killer move that Yu Jin was planning!
But can Yu Jin be blamed for this?

We definitely can’t blame Yu Jin!
I made all the arrangements myself. If Cao Zhen wants to blame someone, he can only blame himself for thinking too simply.

In order to forgive Xu Yi's death, the murderer of Xu Yi, Sun Quan's general Xu Sheng, must not be let off.

If Sun Quan led his army to surrender, Xu Sheng would definitely not be killed, so.
Cao Zhen clearly knew that what Yu Jin said was indeed a good idea, but he still could not use his strategy.

He just said: "Sun Quan is a treacherous villain, we must not let him go!"

"Today we only need to conquer this city by force, there is no need to attack its heart, General Yu, just go ahead."

Yu Jin sneered in his heart when he heard this.

If Cao Zhen did this, he would inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Even if he could capture Hefei, kill Sun Quan, and avenge Xu Yi, he would not be able to stop the gossips.

To put it bluntly, Cao Zhen is in a dilemma at the moment. When Xu Yi died at the river mouth, everything is too late!

No matter which path he chooses, Cao Zhen will definitely not be able to take charge of the general flag in the short term!

With such a sneer, Yu Jin didn't even say hello to Cao Zhen. He turned around and commanded his troops to charge towards the city of Hefei!

The decisive battle of Hefei City officially begins!
When Xing Daorong got the news, it was the time of the life-and-death battle.
