Yinhou of the Three Kingdoms

……

At the same time, it was widely rumored in the army that Xia Houyuan, a captain of Dianjun who had five hundred on three days and one thousand on six days, marched more than a hundred miles in a hurry, and led the army of Zuo Xiaowei to the west gate of Pengcheng at the time of the night.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

At the end of the three-way drum, Xia Houyuan launched a fierce attack on Pengcheng without waiting for the army to repair. Behavior too!

However, it was this seemingly stupid order that caught Zhang Ning by surprise. In the middle of the night, when Pengcheng's army and horses were exhausted, Zuo Xiaowei wanted to go to the city to eat meat, drink and sleep. Inspired and bravely killed the enemy, Pengcheng was determined to win.

So... After four hours of frenzied fighting, when the sky was pale, Xia Houyuan went into battle in person, braving arrows, wielding a mace to swallow the lives of the enemy generals, and cutting a path with the huge half-moon wheel.

The master general was so brave and invincible, and he was not afraid of danger. The soldiers were infected, and they burst out with powerful strength, breaking the deadlocked balance in one fell swoop, and launched a fierce attack on the city.

at last……

A Cao soldier climbed up to the top of the city, frantically brandishing his saber to protect the ladder, and then people followed the ladder to the top of the city. As the number of Cao soldiers on the top of the city increased, the will of the Pengcheng defenders completely collapsed.

Bang!

The heavy city gate was knocked open, and Zuo Xiaowei flowed into the city like a flood from the gate. After half a cup of tea, Zhang Ning, the defender of Pengcheng, died in battle, and Xia Houyuan took over Pengcheng.

……

The next day.

Outside the city of Xuzhou, there is a large camp of the Cao army and a large tent of the Chinese army.

The sky was slightly bright, and Cao Cao was wearing a thick jet-black cloak sprinkled with gold, with his hair tied in a messy bun on the back of his head. When the forest people saw it, they must have reprimanded them. After cursing eunuchs, they can't be regarded as literati!

"Well...Xuzhou...Xiaopei...Pengcheng...Jizhou...Huainan..."

Cao Cao pondered alone, drawing his fingers on the blushing map, sometimes measuring the distance between the two, with a preoccupied look.

"Report..."

Shouting outside the tent interrupted Cao Cao's thinking, and he often turned to look out.

"Report..."

Before he could call in, there was another hurried Pegasus report.

"Enter!"

Cao Cao twisted his body, tilted his head and looked at the person who came, two black armored soldiers.

"My lord, General Cao invaded Xiaopei City at dusk yesterday and dispatched a low-ranking Pegasus to deliver the letter. The general will arrive with his army before noon!"

"My lord, General Xiahou has defeated Zhang Ning, the defender of Pengcheng. He has captured Pengcheng and can reach Xuzhou before noon!"

"Good! Good! Hahaha...Zilian, you've lived up to my expectations!"

Cao Cao's face instantly turned into a smile, and the sound of joy went straight to the ceiling.

"The two of you also contributed a lot, go down and rest, and reward for your merits afterwards!"

Huh!

The two, one in front and one behind, slowly exited the tent. Cao Cao still had a smile on his face, staring at the word Xuzhou on the map.

"Here! Just take this place! The six counties of Xuzhou are at your fingertips!"

Clenching his fists tightly, showing that he was determined to win, a cool wind suddenly rushed in. Cao Cao squinted, and it turned out that it was Xi Zhi who walked in.

"My lord!" Xi Zhicai bowed and saluted.

"Oh? Zhicai is here, what's the matter?" Cao Cao turned around and asked.

"Hehe... just now I heard the lord laughing outside the tent, presumably there is a good news, I will tell the lord some good news here!" Xi Zhicai said half-jokingly.

"Oh? He Xi?"

Cao Cao's heart moved, but his face remained calm.

Chapter 486 The Soldier Comes to Xuzhou

"My lord, I'm here to report that before my lord's army set off, Tao Qian sent envoys from all walks of life to ask for help from various princes. However, Yuan Shao from Jizhou, Yuan Shu from Huainan, Gongsun Zan from Youzhou, and even Liu Biao from Jingzhou all rejected Tao Qian's request for help." letter!"

"Well! It's expected! These princes are all high-sounding and full of benevolence and morality, but... who dares to be an enemy of me, Cao Mengde? Hmm? Who dares! My 20 troops are ready to fight, even Yuan Benchu ​​doesn't Dare to touch my beard!"

Cao Cao stared at the map without looking back, his flat tone was full of arrogant confidence.

"My lord is wise and powerful, but Tao Qian is stupid and incompetent. How can the princes of the world offend my lord because of Tao Qian? Xuzhou is already in our pocket!" Cao Ren said admiringly standing on Cao Cao's left side with his sword in hand.

"What General Cao Ren said is true! The princes from all walks of life really dare not be enemies with the lord, but... Xuzhou's wealth has long been regarded as meat by the princes from all walks of life. I am afraid that these people will be jealous and angry, and secretly obstruct it!" Zhicai expressed his worries to Cao Cao.

Ok?

"Zhicai, could it be that you got some other news?" Cao Cao asked thoughtfully, his eyes were raised and his eyes were shining brightly.

cough!

Xi Zhicai whispered, and replied with some worry: "My lord, there is one more thing that makes me feel uneasy. News came from Wenruo in Yanzhou that Lu Bu led about [-] to [-] soldiers and horses, and appeared in the southern suburbs. One area! Seems to be plotting, this person is greedy for profit and forgets righteousness, don't let it go!"

Lu Bu?

Hey!

Cao Cao sneered contemptuously, and said proudly: "Little Lu Bu, a defeated general and a loser, don't worry about it!"

"..." Xi Zhicai looked at the confident Cao Cao, still worried.

"What? Does Lu Bu still dare to attack my Yanzhou camp?" Cao Cao turned around, held a candle, looked directly at Xi Zhicai with sharp eyes, and muttered, "Even Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, dare not attack my Yanzhou Daying, does Lu Bu dare to offend me, Cao Cao?"

Although Cao Cao was asking, his tone of voice was unusually firm, and Cao Ren admired him for a moment with the confidence in his hands.

"But... Lu Bu is brave and good at fighting, but my lord attacked Xuzhou this time and took away all the elite soldiers and strong generals. The Yanzhou base camp is almost empty. If Lu Bu makes any changes at this time, the morale of the soldiers will be unstable. There will also be problems with the supply of food and grass in the rear!"

"Hmm..." Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai's serious expression, muttered to himself for a while, and then said affirmatively, "It's okay! Although Lu Bu is brave, he has no plans. Not only does Wen Ruo sit in Yanzhou City , and Xiahou Dun, Li Dian's left and right Weiwei army, no matter how small Lv Bu dared to attack my Yanzhou camp!"

"My lord, those who make good use of soldiers do not think about victory before they lose repeatedly. I think it is better to make a plan early!" Xi Zhicai advised again tactfully.

Ok?

Cao Cao was a little dazed, this was the first time he saw Xi Zhi being so serious, he reminded himself over and over again to pay attention to the affairs of Yanzhou,

That's it!

"Relax, I am determined to win Xuzhou City. This time I will lead an army of [-] to besiege the Xuzhou Army, and Tao Qian's [-] Danyang soldiers will certainly not be able to block my advance!
