In a blink of an eye, a few days later.

In the past few days, Zhang Xiu saw that there was no movement in Cao's camp, so he was happy to be idle. He just asked Huang Zhong to strengthen the city garrison and sent people to keep a close eye on the movements in Cao's camp.

Although the walls are strong and cleared for hundreds of miles, if Cao's army marched into Nanyang regardless of everything, he would have to go to prevent it himself. Of course, this possibility is very small.

After all, Cao Cao's number of tiger and leopard cavalry is limited, and he is afraid of the detonators in his hands. The possibility of light troops advancing is not too high.

On the other side, in Cao Jun’s tent.

Dian Wei has been in a coma these days. Cao Cao was waiting day and night, and even couldn't sleep at night. He was shocked when he was resting several times.

Outside the tent where Cao Cao was resting.

Xu Chu's waist was ten feet wide, and he held the sword and looked at the tiger's eyes, not wanting anyone to get close.

In the distance, Cao Ren walked quickly with a smile on his face.

"Zixiao, lord just went to bed. I'll talk about anything later." Xu Chu stepped forward a few steps and said in a deep voice.

He had a good relationship with Dian Wei, and his lord's attitude towards Dian Wei really moved him. Seeing that Cao Cao could not sleep at night for Dian Wei, he felt sorry for him.

"Haha, Zhongkang is not anxious, Dian Wei is awake." Cao Ren said with a hearty smile.

After the words fell, Xu Chuhu's eyes suddenly became stunned, and then he showed his joy. Dian Wei actually woke up. As long as he could wake up, he could survive.

And at this time, the commander's tent.

Cao Cao strode forward, regardless of the underwear he was wearing, immediately looked at Cao Ren with a sharp look and said anxiously: "What did you say? Dian Wei woke up?"

"Yes," Cao Ren nodded and responded.

Cao Cao's face, which had been gloomy for several days, instantly showed joy, and was as happy as a child. He turned around and laughed at the guard: "I'll say Dian Wei is lucky and has great fortune."

After saying that, he shook his slutty underwear, without feet, and went straight to Dian Wei's resting tent.

After a while, no one arrived.

Cao Cao's voice had already come, shouting: "Dian Wei, I knew you were fine."

After saying that, the curtain tent has been lifted.

Cao Cao opened his eyes and glanced. Dian Wei was lying on the bed not far away, his face was still pale, but there was a little more blood. He was in a coma for several days, and it was a miracle that he could survive.

It's so great that he can compete with the blood man Zhou Tai.

After all, in order to protect Sun Shiwan, Zhou Tai was fucked more than a dozen wounds in a battle, but this pussy was even more harsh. He fainted after the fight was not bad.

He woke up in a few days and then got better again, and he was the best meat shield in the Three Kingdoms.

Seeing Cao Cao coming, he shouted and wanted to get up: "Lord,"

Cao Cao hurriedly said, "No need to be polite, rest with peace of mind."

Dian Wei, the audience said that Cao Cao had almost no rest for the past few days, and was already moved to tears in his eyes.

At this moment, he looked at Cao Cao coming barefoot, and he couldn't repay him. A strong man with a 200-pound pound actually burst into tears.

"Okay, it's fine."

Cao Cao stepped forward and grabbed Dian Wei's palm and said sincerely.

Looking at Cao Cao's behavior, everyone around him couldn't help but feel a little emotional. His loyalty to Cao Cao had increased a little. Dian Wei was a general of a foreign surname, and he was really a wise ruler to be able to receive such treatment.

"Dian Wei, why did you suddenly lose your weapons that day? And you also had symptoms of Yangjiaofeng."

The person who spoke was Cao Ren, and he looked curious.

After saying that, the other generals also looked at each other.

Dian Wei tried to recall, and suddenly felt a little frightened. He was still vivid in his mind about the scene of that day. When he thought of the thing that could emit lightning, he couldn't help but shivered.

"Thunder, thunder, yes, it's thunder. Zhang Xiu's black stick can be thunder and lightning. I can vaguely see the arc above, it's that thing that hurts me."

Dian Wei was a little frightened, his voice was weak and weak, and he spoke a little hard.

“???”

"Thunder...thunder and lightning?" Everyone was surprised.

What the hell is it? Dian Wei must have been sleeping stupid, right? Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and was shocked. This is simply unheard of.

What is lightning? It is something unique to nature. It is said to be controlled by the gods in the sky. How could it gather on a mere little black stick?

If Zhang Xiu could control the lightning, why bother to do this? Wouldn't it be enough to directly turn the three armies of Cao's camp into powder?

"Are you sure that Zhang Xiu is using lightning?" Cao Cao was a little suspicious. He really didn't know how to believe this, after all, it was too illusory.

"That kind of electric shock is almost the same as the legendary electric shock in the countryside, but it may be less powerful than Tianlei. When the electric shock is instantly shocked, the whole body twitches and numb, but the twitching feeling is much less after the thing leaves." Dian Wei murmured and explained as he recalled the feeling at that time.

After listening to Dian Wei's words, Cao Cao fell into deep thought. Could it be true? If it was really lightning, it wouldn't be a good thing.

But now, think about it,

Zhang Xiu’s everything was really hard to understand. He seemed to be covered with a veil. It is logical that such a person could not have been unknown for so long.

If it weren't for Zhang Ji, few people would have known Zhang Xiu's name. Now, whether it is wisdom, martial arts, or all kinds of objects he shows are not owned by Xiliang's rebellious men.

"In addition, he also has a piece of armor on his body. I struggled hard but couldn't pierce it. It was probably several times stronger than Dong Zhuo's armor back then."

Dian Wei said with lingering fear.

These are the two things he was killed that day. If it weren't for these two things, Zhang Xiu would have probably died tragically under his iron halberd.

"Okay, you can rest assured."

Cao Cao did not argue, but just gave a message.

After saying that, he turned around and left the camp, Xun You followed him. He saw the uneasiness in Cao Cao's eyes, and hesitated for three breaths and said, "Lord, Zhang Xiu is probably not simple."

Cao Cao looked at Xun You suspiciously, raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me, why is it not a simple method?"

"What Dian Wei said should be true. With all the previous things, how could he have such a magical object from the reckless man in Xiliang? I dare to assert that there must be a master behind him." Xun You said in a deep voice.

He also couldn't explain some things clearly.

Cao Cao nodded. Since Zhang Xiu's vision of revealing the world, every step was not like something that a martial artist in Xiliang could feel.

Logically speaking, with Zhang Xiu's personality, it is normal to burn, kill, loot, and how could it be so outstanding?

"Okay, no matter what, Nanyang must take it." Cao Cao took two steps forward and said in a loud voice: "Go and order the generals of various departments to prepare for the preparation of troops and troops to surround Yecheng."

Since Dian Wei had nothing to do, he was relieved.

"No!" Xun You focused his attention.

......

The next day, noon.

Outside Yecheng, Cao's army once again besieged the city after several days.

From a distance, countless siege equipment slowly pushed forward, and it was so powerful that the dense military formation also made the soldiers guarding the city feel a little depressed.

As it approached, Yecheng was silent.

Zhang Xiu was clearly defensive, but Cao Cao was so angry that he could only order the three armies to start digging ground to siege the city, and then prepare stones and prepare to cast a wave with a catapult.

These are just the most basic operations.

If Zhang Xiu didn't leave the city, he could only find a way to break the city. Only by breaking Yecheng could he go south. Otherwise, if he crossed Yecheng, he would go south. As long as the defenders cut off their food route, Cao's army would collapse without fighting.

For a moment, the two sides were in a stalemate again.

......

Guanzhong, outside Wuguan.

As night comes, the moonlight shines bright silver light, shining on countless military tents.

Liu Bei’s Military Office, in the tent of the commander.

Sun Gan rushed back in a hurry.

Sun Gan's skin was yellow. Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little apologized after seeing it. He personally poured a cup of tea for him. After drinking it, he couldn't help asking: "Gongyou, thank you for your hard work, what did Zhang Xiu say?"

"Huh!" Sun Gan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a serious expression: "Lord, Zhang Xiu is willing to provide food and grass, but we need our army to exchange war horses."

"War horses exchanged?" Liu Bei frowned and said with a little gloomy: "Didn't the letter before that said, as long as our two armies form an alliance, Zhang Xiu is willing to provide military rations?"

"Hey! Although this is true in the letter, Cao Cao was defeated first. He personally led the tiger and leopard cavalry to set up an ambush, but was defeated by Zhang Xiu and could not retreat and waited for reinforcements."

Sun Gan sighed and said.

"Cao Cao lost first?" Liu Bei frowned.

"Well, because of this, Zhang Xiu dared to be so rampant. Now Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu are almost the same as each other's strength, and it is difficult to win or lose in a short period of time, so that's the case."

Sun Gan explained.

If Cao Cao hadn't failed first, Zhang Xiu would probably not have dared to ask for the price all over the place.

"How much does he want?" Liu Bei said in a deep voice with his cheeks gloomy.

"One hundred thousand hu of grain and grass, exchange for ten thousand war horses." Sun Gan lowered his head and said a little timid. He was not very satisfied with what he was talking about.
