Xu Ding was overjoyed after watching it.

"Hahaha." Xu Ding handed the memorial to Guo Jia: "Look at it too. Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang rebelled and forced Liu Biao to surrender to me. Xi Zhicai has already asked Gongsun Zan to lead the White Horse Yi Cong to Jingzhou to take over the defense. , must have arrived in Jingzhou by now."

"That's great. Congratulations, Your Majesty. You won most of Jingzhou without bloodshed." Guo Jia said happily.

"Ah."

Xu Ding said: "With Liu Biao's surrender, I don't have to worry about Sun Jian anymore. Gongsun Zan's white horse righteous follower and Liu Biao's Jingzhou army are enough to deal with the war in Jingzhou. We will deal with Cao Liu with all our strength. Given time, our army will surely win."

"Follow filial piety."

"The minister is here."

Xu Dinghu said: "I agree with your previous advice, not to attack Cao Liu. Because Liu Biao has already surrendered to me, and the situation in the world belongs to me. I don't need to risk fighting Cao Cao and Liu Bei. I just need to wait for Jia Xu and Guan Yu to win. If they win, they will naturally fall. We will stay here to prevent them from breaking through."

Guo Jia was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and said: "Your Majesty is wise. If this is the case, Cao and Liu will be defeated, and our army can also reduce casualties."

For the next few days, Cao Liu remained silent.

Xu Ding's army was stationed at the mountain pass and did not attack.

period.

Xu Ding sent someone to Jizhou to send an order to Guan Yu to detour through Zhongshan, cross the Taihang Mountains, and enter Taiyuan.The purpose is to capture Liu Bei's capital Jinyang.

Liu Bei's army is all in Sili, and Bingzhou is empty.

With the strength of Guan Yu's Hebei Field Army, it is enough to attack.

At the same time, Jia Xu also led tens of thousands of troops, captured Hongnong County, and marched towards Tongguan.Tongguan is the gateway to Chang'an. If it is captured, Cao Cao will be defeated.

Cao Ren, Cao Cao's general, personally led more than ten thousand soldiers, stationed at Tongguan, and fought against Jia Xu.

Dong dong dong

Under Tongguan, drums and trumpets roar.

Jia Xu sent a platoon of troops to try to blow open the gate of Tongguan.

However, Cao Jun stationed in the city was very vigilant.They knew that Jia Xu had explosives, which were extremely powerful, and they didn't give the Sharp Blade Army a chance to get close.

Every time they attack to the other side of the moat, they first shoot with rockets, and then pour a lot of kerosene.

Even in the rain, it will be ignited.

"Mr. Wenhe, the enemy army is defending the city like this, how can we attack?" asked Wu Zhi, head of the first regiment of the Sharp Blade Army.

"It's really hard to get in."

Jia Xu is also thinking of a way.

His troops can't get close to the tower at all. Once they get close to the tower, it will cause a fire.

With Cao Ren's back on the oil fields, he had an inexhaustible supply of fire oil.

It is also impossible to wait until the enemy's oil is exhausted.

"Before the expedition, I promised His Majesty that Chang'an will be conquered. But now I am blocked by the enemy at Tongguan, and cannot advance." Jia Xu was anxious and angry, and said to Wu Zhi, "Give me five hundred soldiers and deploy along the moat. Anyone who sees the enemy coming up, shoots immediately. Even if I advance to the city, I can't make them feel better."

"As ordered."

Wu Zhi went to make arrangements.

Papapa

When the sharp-blade army attacked the city again, the enemy carried a wooden barrel of fire oil and poured oil under it.The five hundred firearms on the bank of the moat shot upwards, killing all the enemies.

Of course, that doesn't help either.

The Blade Army was still unable to enter the city.

Stalemate with the enemy for several hours.

Jia Xu had no choice but to withdraw his troops and camped outside Tongguan.

"Cao Ren is really cunning. He didn't hesitate to spend a lot of fuel to prevent our army from approaching the tower. This gave us no chance at all." In the camp, the general of the Sharp Sword Army who came with the army, Hu Shang said.

"Yes, we are afraid that Tongguan will be very difficult." All the generals discussed.

Jia Xu thought for a while and smiled, "I thought I was poisonous enough, but I didn't expect Cao Ren to be more poisonous than me. This way, he would spare no effort to slaughter our soldiers. Okay, I will compare with him to see who is the most poisonous."

"Wu Zhi."

"exist."

Jia Xu ordered: "Go to the counties of Hongnong, arrest the people, and let them fill up the soil under Tongguan. I will fill up the moat and fill the outside of the city into a long slope, and then attack the city. I don't believe it. , he can still stop me."

"Sir, this is a big project. I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete in a short time?" Hu Shang said.

"Is one month enough?" Jia Xu asked.

"That's certainly enough. But there, Your Majesty."

"You don't have to worry about it, just do it, I will ask His Majesty for an order." Jia Xu said.

"Yes."

From the next day, people in Hongnong were arrested and detained outside Tongguan, and thousands of people were sent to fill the soil every day.During this period, they would be burned to death, but Jia Xu didn't even frown.

Xu Ding was shocked when he received the news.

He knew that Jia Xu was known as a poisonous man with vicious schemes, but such a way of disregarding the life and death of the people and sending them to death in vain was not the way to win, and it also lost the hearts of the people.

Xu Ding was going to send someone to stop it.

Guo Jia stopped him with words: "Your Majesty, what Wen He did is really wrong. But he has already done it, and even if he stops now, he will be charged with massacre. In this case, why not wait for him to complete this project , take Tongguan?"

"This."

"Your Majesty, don't you know it's feasible?"

Xu Ding walked back and forth in the tent, hesitating in his heart.If someone is sent to stop Jia Xu, tens of thousands of people will definitely be saved.However, Jia Xu's plan fell short, and it was difficult to capture Tongguan.If Jia Xu is not stopped, the people in Hongnong may be killed or killed.

"no!"

Xu Ding thought for a long time, and finally said: "If I don't know about this, it's fine. But I already know, how can I refuse to save? This is not only about thousands of people, but also about the reputation of our country. What's more, in my heart I can’t get past this hurdle.”

"Feng Xiao, you immediately send someone to Tongguan to tell Jia Xu to stop attacking the city and release all the people."
