The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 533 Volume The treacherous hero!

Cao Cao had no choice but to give up and gave gifts to Fa Zheng and Meng Da and sent them on a diplomatic mission to Wusun.

After Fa Zheng and Meng Da left, Guo Jia said, "What Xiao Zhi said just now makes sense."

"Wusun is just an external force. The key is still Shule City."

"If we can't break the city, then everything will be in vain!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes.

"In this case, we must capture this city at all costs!"

at all costs……

Cao Cao ordered his men to drive all the Shule soldiers and civilians in Zhenzhong City to the foot of Shule City, and made them kneel on the ground and shout towards Shule City:

"My king! Please save us!"

"We Shule cannot defeat the Han Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty..."

All around Shule City, there were Shule people kneeling on the ground and crying towards the people in Shule City.

For a time, the morale of the entire Shule City was low, and there were even several riots in an attempt to open the city gates.

"Shameless!"

When King Hede of Shule learned that Cao Cao had actually let the people of Shule cry and scream around him, he was so angry that he gnashed his teeth!

"How did the Han general become like this?"

Since ancient times, the Han Dynasty has sent many people to the Western Regions.

Zhang Qian is smart and polite.

Su Wu is upright and polite.

Ban Chao is brave and polite.

……

No matter how many people are sent, there will always be some rules to follow and the "etiquette" unique to Han civilization will be implemented.

But what is this Cao Cao who comes this time?
As soon as he arrived in the Western Regions, he started killing people indiscriminately in Khotan.

Afterwards, all the countries in the Western Regions were forced to submit to the Han Dynasty.

When fighting, they had no moral principles and simply used something to break into Zhenzhong City.

Now, it has even become so despicable that the people of Shule are crying and shouting outside the city?
He was extremely annoyed by the crying and shouting, but despite being annoyed, He was also somewhat excited.

"If the Han people still had the sacred objects they had in Zhenzhong City, Cao Cao wouldn't have let the people of the country cry all around like this!"

When He De thought of this, he ordered his men to use huge rocks and other debris to completely block the gates on all sides of Shule City, leaving no room for himself at all, and waited wholeheartedly for the reinforcements from Wusun.

After Cao Cao heard that He De had blocked the surrounding city walls and confirmed that there was no way for Shule City to contact the outside world, he ordered the people of Shule to stop crying and drove them away.

These people fled to other cities in Shule and spread the current situation in Shule.

Some Shule nobles were horrified and thought that Shule was about to perish, so they led their troops to Shule to rescue it.

Cao Cao had already set up ambushes on the roads leading to Shule City from these cities.

As soon as the enemy appeared, the Han army rushed forward and defeated him!
Afterwards, Cao Cao ordered Yu Jin and others to capture these cities.

Compared with Zhenzhong City and Shule City, other cities in Shule are very simple. Most of the city walls are made of fences, and the city walls are too low. You can see inside the city while riding a war horse. There is no defense capability at all.

Yu Jin is also a famous general in the Central Plains. Now he has no pressure at all to bully these cities. In just five days, he has captured seven cities of Shule and occupied all the territory of Shule State except Shule City!

Cao Cao continued to order his men to put all the Shule people in these cities in shackles and make them slaves, and then burn all these cities and the surrounding farmlands to ashes!
Under Cao Cao's instruction, King Hede of Shule learned what Cao Cao had done in Shule, and he burst into tears immediately!

"Thief Cao!!!"

Cao Cao's actions almost destroyed the foundation of Shule Kingdom!

Cao Cao's way of dealing with the Western Regions is not the way of the Han people at all! This is clearly the Huns' way of destroying the nation and the race!
In the past, when the Han people came to the Western Regions, would they ever do such a thing?
Even if they came to conquer, they would only kill the main culprits and not attack the common people... It was precisely because of this that He De never thought that his hostility towards the Han Dynasty would implicate the people of Shule!

In the current situation, even if the Wusun cavalry could arrive and drive out the Han army, can Shule, which has been so ravaged by Cao Cao, still be a country?

moment.

He De felt that life was meaningless.

He De began to feel dizzy when he thought about the country he had worked so hard to build being plowed by Cao Cao like a plowed field.

"Thief Cao!"

He's voice was trembling. Days of fierce fighting had caused him, who was already very old, to spit out a mouthful of blood and he fainted instantly!

……

Han army camp.

In fact, Xu Shu repeatedly advised Cao Cao not to be too cruel to the people of Shule.

Cao Cao usually respected Xu Shu very much, but he was very resolute on this matter.

"The barbarians cherish power but not virtue!"

"I will say it again, I was sent by your majesty to fight against the Han thieves, not to govern this place!"

"Starting from Shule, I will let everyone in the world know what the consequences of being an enemy of the Han Dynasty are!"

Seeing Cao Cao's determination, Xu Shu did not want to continue to press him, so he just asked Cao Cao: "General Zhengxi should know that although our army has broken through the city of Shule, the most important royal city has not yet been broken."

"Every day we delay now will increase the chances of Wusun's cavalry arriving here."

"General Zhengxi, please focus on Shule City and not worry about anything else."

Cao Cao said confidently: "I conquered Shule City just to capture this royal city!"

"Although Hede killed his nephew and established himself as king, he did govern Shule with great care. It can be seen that the prosperity of Shule was supported by Hede."

"Now that he has received the news that Shule has been destroyed, his blood must have been flowing and his will is weakened!"

"Plus, he is already old, so there is a high possibility of accidents!"

"And Hede is the pillar of Shule. Once Hede is in trouble, Shule will surely collapse. It will be easy to capture this city!"

Xu Shu looked at Cao Cao with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

It was not until this moment that Xu Shu understood what the phrase "a treacherous hero in troubled times" meant...

I would rather let the world betray me than let the world betray me!
Destroy their army, burn their city, capture their people, and destroy their land...

All these were done to completely shatter the faith of King Shule Hede!

If the situation changes, then this Shule City will be nothing but a piece of thin paper that can be pierced with a single poke!

When Xu Shu thought about Cao Cao's entire plan, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

As an enemy, Cao Cao is simply too terrifying!
Even Xu Shu was somewhat puzzled as to what methods the emperor had used to defeat Cao Cao and even to subdue him in the end.

Being an enemy of Cao Cao is so terrible, what if you were to be an enemy of the emperor...

The horror of Zhenzhong City flashed through Xu Shu's mind, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Cao Cao ordered his soldiers to rest during the day, and only woke them up with rustling sounds at midnight.

In order to avoid being exposed, Cao Cao did not allow his soldiers to make a fire. They just ate fried noodles and dried meat, and then drank them mixed with cold water to replenish their strength.

"Order to the whole army! Attack the city tonight!"

Cao Cao drew his sword.

"This time, Shule will be completely removed from the Western Regions!"
