Once the gold is awarded, the generals of both sides will not fight for the time being and need to go back and rest for a while.
It’s not that both sides have strong morals, it’s just that they can’t tell whether the sound is from their own side or someone else’s side.
In short, after hearing Ming Jin, it's better to stop fighting immediately.
After Zhang Lai, Xu Huang, and Xiahou Dun came back, they realized that it was not Cao Cao who ordered gold, but the one on the city tower.
Cao Cao was very satisfied with today's battle situation.
He is not in a hurry for a decisive battle now, but is waiting. As long as the other party is not idle, it doesn't matter whether he is idle or not.
Cao Cao is waiting for spring.
They are destined to celebrate the New Year in Xiapi.
From then on, Cao Cao fought with Lu Bu every day, and watched Zhang Liao and Yan Liang fight each other every day.
It is a pity that Gao Shun did not return to Xiang. Otherwise, we could see Gao Shun versus Wen Chou this time.
In this duel, there is a high probability that Gao Shun will die at the hands of Wen Chou.
Things didn't go well either.
It was said that it did not go well because the two-month attack time caused the army to lose morale.
If it went smoothly, it was because Cao Cao successfully diverted the opponent's attention.
They successfully waited until the beginning of spring, and also successfully waited until the day when the dam began to burst.
Cao Cao's soldiers all sat on the plateau and watched the water flood Xiapi. Xu Yi blocked all the waterways downstream, and the entire Xiapi City was a vast ocean.
Only the east gate had no water, while the other gates were covered with water one foot high.
Don't underestimate this one-foot-tall water man, he can basically lose his waist standing in the water.
In this case, there is no way for the city gate to be pushed open. It's so heavy that most people can't push it.
What follows is a succession of good news.
The first good news was that a group of people quietly sneaked into the city, and then another group of people broke out and left.
Zhang Liao's cavalry team went to pursue them but were surprised to see that the people behind them were Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
Zhang Liao couldn't stop them by himself, and the two men could only watch them go north.
Cao Cao laughed after hearing this, thinking that this was because Yuan Shao felt that the fake Lu Bu was gone and that he had to bring back his two major signatures.
The second good news is that there is no more food and grass in Xiapi City.
Previously, because Xiapi's soldiers had enough food, they were still able to fight.
It's been two full months now, and no matter how much food there is, it's not an option to just sit back and have nothing.
The fake Lu Bu looked at the people in the city with sallow faces and thin muscles, and saw that his soldiers were discouraged, and there was really nothing he could do.
What Lu Ying feels now is the desperate situation that the real Lu Bu felt back then.
It's really a desperate situation.
As for the third good news, it is related to Guo Ming.
Yuan Yao disappeared.
Guo Ming only discovered this one night when his system suddenly woke up.
Yuan Yao was originally supposed to be Xiang Yu's deputy general, but now he has been eliminated from the system.
This means that Yuan Yao has left.
As for whether the fake Lu Bu can be touched, it can only depend on his luck.
Then the third good news appeared, that is, Lu Bu disappeared in Xiapi.
Cheng Chi could no longer find Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Lu Bu. The captains in Xiapi City were leaderless, and no one could stop Cao Cao.
They had no choice but to surrender.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that Fengde was the one who took the most credit for winning Xiapi this time. His plan flooded Xiapi, and once he came up with his plan, he could really defeat an army of 100,000 people. Fake Lu Bu , fake Zhang Liao, and fake Gao Shun are all gone. We will take control of Xuzhou again."
"Ming Gong is wise." Guo Jia said beside him.
In fact, what Cao Cao was most happy about was that all the people who thought they could build the wall were gone.
Hua Yin suffered a slight loss, and Cao Cao could use an excuse to kill all the nobles in Xuzhou.
In this way, no one will ever think about having an affair with Yuan Shao.
Guo Ming's real "greatest contribution" is in this matter, but he just can't say it out.
Cao Cao stayed behind and led the governor of Xuzhou. As for Liu Bei, the future shepherd of Xuzhou... Cao Cao was a little resentful.
Liu Bei entered Xuzhou City together, but when they left, the people burned incense to block the way and asked Liu Bei to resume his post as Xuzhou Shepherd.
When Cao Cao saw this scene, he had a look of displeasure on his face, but on second thought he told the people that Liu Bei had made great contributions and he needed to go back and reward them before he came back.
In this way, these people were deceived.
But how big-minded Cao Cao is, doesn’t Guo Jia know?
What he was thinking must also be to eradicate these people who were interested in Liu Bei.
However, some things caught Guo Jia off guard.
That is, Liu Bei actually came to see him.
Liu Bei just wanted to find him, but he happened to meet Guo Ming who was also at the house.
After Guo Jia returned to Xuchang, he put everything aside. The first thing he had to deal with was Guo Ming's marriage.
This time, because he was marrying the daughter of the famous doctor Hua Tuo and a disciple of the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Tuo had no choice but to send the gift to Zhang Zhongjing first.
Zhang Zhongjing already had some appreciation for Guo Ming, and now he was naturally happy to hear that he wanted to marry Qin Jin.
He accepted the gift as a master.
Guo Ming's relationship within Cao Ying is also good, not to mention Guo Jia's relationship within Cao Ying is quite good.
Many Cao Ying counselors also sent great gifts for the sake of being from Yingchuan.
But Guo Jia never expected that Liu Bei would personally escort Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to the house with the gift, and bump into Guo Ming, who was discussing marriage here.
Head on.
What Guo Jia didn't expect was that Liu Bei cried first after sitting down, and he cried bitterly.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei next to him also looked hard to explain.
The brothers Guo Jia and Guo Ming really didn't know what to do for a while.
"Liu Shijun, why are you crying so sadly?" Guo Jia asked.
"Please help me, sir." Liu Bei crawled on the ground.
"Where do we start?" Guo Ming asked.
"Mr. Fengde, I haven't seen you for a long time. Don't you know that Bei is already the emperor's uncle?"
Liu Bei became the emperor's uncle, and everyone in the city knew about it.
Everyone thought Liu Bei was bragging before, but after the clan leader took out the clan's genealogy and looked it up, he found that Liu Bei's name really was on it.
After Liu Hong, Liu Hong's last position was Zhuojun Lieutenant, which was already at the level of "non-official" compared to princes.
But the official position was gone, but the blood relatives were still there. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty particularly liked such a heroic uncle.
Not only did he recognize him on the spot, but he also invited him to the side hall to perform family rituals.
Liu Bei was worshiped as General Zuo and Marquis Ting of Yicheng on the spot.
He came to the country to save his life, probably because of this.
It's just that a grown man can cry like this...it's really hard to express.
