Yecheng.

"Mr. Jia, the enemy is a little strange today, why is there no movement?"

Yang Xiu frowned and asked Jia Xu.

"It's indeed a bit weird, but don't worry, we won't leave the city."

Although Jia Xu was confused, there was no surprise. Cao Cao had a deceitful personality and it was possible to use such tricks to mislead them.

"Don't you leave the city yet?"

Xu Chu immediately became anxious when he heard that he had not left the city yet, but he had been waiting to go out of the city to fight back.

"The enemy has as many as 50,000. No matter how powerful General Xu's heavy cavalry is, he may not be able to deal with it, right?"

Jia Xu looked at Xu Chu and said, "During this period, Cao Cao's troops who stayed on both sides of the river arrived one after another. Now there are 50,000 soldiers outside Yecheng, and there are still a large number of equipment in it. In this case, the heavy cavalry can do nothing.

"I can go around the back. The enemy will definitely transport a lot of food and grass. If I go to plunder the enemy's food and grass, the enemy will collapse if the food and grass are cut off. Then I will kill you again!"

Xu Chu proudly expressed his plan. According to his idea, no matter how many enemies he had, he would not be able to become a climate.

"General Xu's plan is good, but the other party is Cao Cao, who is the best at cutting off the enemy's food route."

Jia Xu shook his head and said, Xu Chu's strategy could deal with others, but it was a bit unsuitable to deal with Cao Cao. Cao Cao, who was proficient in cutting off the enemy's food route, must have been prepared for this.

"And Cao Cao is likely to be waiting for us to cut off his food route, and this may be his bait."

Yang Xiu added, since Cao Cao was prepared, he would definitely not just passive defense. Setting a trap is Cao Cao's character.

"Bait? I'm not afraid of him!"

Xu Chu said indifferently that even if the enemy is prepared, he is not afraid. As long as he moves fast enough, he can eat the bait and smash the trap.

"General Xu, don't think so much. The enemy has left the camp, and today's offensive and defensive battle is about to begin again."

Jia Xu smiled and pointed at the enemy who was out of the camp in the distance. Today, Cao Cao's army came out one hour late.

"Come again? Those cowards don't dare to attack the city, they only dare to sway outside."

Xu Chu looked up and saw the enemy leaving the camp, and complained in annoyance. He had enough of this kind of painless siege. Both sides used catapults and crossbows to shoot each other, and then each rested.

Stones and crossbow arrows flew, and the two sides began to compete for firepower. Xu Chu could only command the city to defend the city on the city wall. This kind of thing was a bit inappropriate for Jia Xu and Yang Xiulai.

The firepower competition lasted for an hour, and both sides were damaged. Cao Cao broke several catapults, and several female walls on the city wall in Yecheng were broken, breaking several gaps.

...

"Lord, I still can't break through the defense of Yecheng."

Yu Jin reported to Cao Cao that the catapult brought this time was the latest and improved, with a long range, but the enemy's crossbow and catapult were not weaker than theirs.

"Let's just do it today."

Cao Cao frowned and sighed. When he came to Yecheng, he was preparing to attack with force. He had thought about all kinds of ways, but when he arrived in Yecheng and saw the defense of Yecheng, he gave up the attack, and the enemy's firepower could not pass through.

"Lord, this Ye City is probably difficult to capture!"

Cheng Yu looked at Yecheng, which was repairing the female wall, and said to Cao Cao that they had been besieging outside Yecheng for half a month. Except for the first time, they had no formal siege. Cao Cao seemed to want to waste such a waste.

"The enemy's equipment is very powerful, there is no such equipment that can make loud noises and throw iron balls. Even those crossbows and catapults are not weaker than us. Where did Lu Bu find so many excellent craftsmen?"

Cao Cao seemed not to hear Cheng Yu's words, and looked at the catapult in front of him and started talking. He had compiled all the best craftsmen in the court, so that this batch of "advanced" equipment was found. Unexpectedly, Lu Bu's equipment was better than his.

"Master?"

Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao in confusion, wondering why Cao Cao had to say these things.

"We can't conquer the city, Xiahou Miaocai can."

Cao Cao then smiled and said as he looked at Cheng Yu.

"But did General Xiahou say that Zhang Liao's cavalry is so good?"

Cheng Yu was even more puzzled. The news sent back by Xiahou Yuan was unable to defeat Zhang Liao quickly, and he could only confront the enemy along the coast.

"Zhang Liao is indeed powerful. If he talks about cavalry fighting, he is no worse than Xiahou Miao."

Cao Cao nodded. Xiahou Yuan was indeed not Zhang Liao's opponent. Even if he sent Le Jin, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen over there, he still couldn't defeat Zhang Liao's cavalry.

"Who is the lord?"

Cheng Yu had no idea what Cao Cao meant at all. Xiahou Yuan could not defeat Zhang Liao. So what was the point of insisting on Bohai County?

"The purpose is very simple. I have asked Guo Fengxiao, Xiahou Yuanrang, and Cao Zixiao to bring troops back. They will go to Bohai County first. By then, General Zhang Liao will no longer be able to stop the offensive."

Cao Cao explained to Cheng Yu with a smile.

"Report! Lord, Xuchang urgently reported!"

Before Cao Cao could be proud, a soldier shouted and ran into the camp.

"Is there any situation in Xuchang?"

Cao Cao frowned, and looked at the letters in the soldier's hand, and suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart.

After taking the letter, Cao Cao's face was gloomy and terrible, and no one of the strategists and generals dared to ask anything.

"Lord, but Xuchang has changed?"

Xun You waited for a while, and saw that no one spoke, he stepped forward and asked, Xun Yu is now in Xuchang, and there are still Man Chong and Wang Bi in Xuchang City. How could there be a problem that cannot be solved in this situation?

"Zhao Yun sneaked into Runan County, and now half of Runan County is in chaos."

Cao Cao told everyone directly that the chaos in Runan County may trigger a chain reaction, and the entire Yuzhou will be in turmoil. According to Xun Yu's letter, this situation is already happening.

"Zhao Yun sneaked into Runan County? Isn't Zhao Yun in Xiliang?"

Cheng Yu looked surprised, how could Zhao Yun appear in Runan County?

"There is no mistake. The letter has confirmed that it is Zhao Yun and his Baima Yicong! Also, Liu Biao was defeated, and that waste has never even fought against the Han River! Fancheng has stood on the north bank of the Han River!"

Cao Cao punched the low table in front of him with a fist. He invited Liu Biao to attack Lu Bu in order to use the fire of war to cover his flanks. Unexpectedly, Liu Biao was so vulnerable that the entire Jingzhou army could not defeat Yecheng, which was thousands of people.

"Lord, Zhao Yun has returned to the Central Plains. It seems that Lu Bu is coming back soon. Should we be on guard?"

Cheng Yu said, Zhao Yun's attack on Runan County was just a trivial matter, what can a lonely army do? The real danger is the returned Lu Bu.

"Lu Bu isn't coming back so soon."

When Cao Cao saw that the generals in the camp tried to exchange their eyes, he seemed a little afraid of Lu Bu, and spoke in a deep voice.

Cao Cao's words calmed down and analyzed it and found that Lu Bu really couldn't come back in a short period of time.

"Report, lord, Xuchang urgently!"
