Chen Zhou was not as interested in war horses as those generals.
I just felt that the red rabbit horse was a bit tall, and then I didn't give it a second thought, and directly refused to let Cao Cao send it.
"Evil is coming!"
Cao Cao quickly thought about who in the army was most suitable for Red Rabbit Horse, so it must be Dian Wei.
With the blessing of horses, Dian Wei can tie with Lu Bu.
If there is another red rabbit horse, Dian Wei is likely to be the best general in the world. If Jueying is a red rabbit, Cao Cao thinks that Dian Wei may not be Lu Bu's opponent.
"Red Rabbit gives it to you."
"As for Jueying... give it to Zhong Kang."
Cao Cao then gave the horse to Red Rabbit and changed its owner, no longer to Guan Yu.
Dian Wei had experienced the benefits of war horses. Hearing this, his eyes sparkled and he said excitedly: "Thank you, my lord, for giving me the horse. But this horse is so good. If my lord gives it to me, will it cause hatred?"
He has been hanging out with Chen Zhou and learned a lot of vocabulary that Chen Zhou brought from modern society, such as the word "hatred".
Cao Cao quickly figured out what it meant to attract hatred and said with a smile: "How could it be? The Red Rabbit horse was given to Hulai. In the future, Hulai must continue to work hard on the battlefield, so as not to waste Chitu's bravery."
"Don't worry, my lord, no one can stop a pair of short halberds in my hands on the battlefield from now on."
Dian Wei is not bragging.
If Lu Bu is gone, Dian Wei, who has the red rabbit horse, is almost the best in the world. Except for Zhao Yun, whose strength is unknown, he will have no problem beating anyone.
"Thank you, my lord."
Xu Chu never thought that his lord could still give Jueying to him, so he declined: "That's your lord's mount, how can I ask for it? Please take it back, lord!"
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "What Du Zhi said just now is very good. If such a horse is not used by a brave general in the army, it will be a waste. It will be a waste in my hands. I will go with the army to fight. Any military horse will do. You can accept it. !”
Sending one or two horses can better win their hearts.
Except for Dian Wei, the most capable warrior in Cao's camp was Xu Chu. He gave them their horses to charge into the battle, but the other generals didn't think anything of it.
But now there is another Ma Chao, who is also very capable of fighting, but Ma Chao is not here. Cao Cao is thinking of giving Qingzhijian to win over Ma Chao, and then arrange war horses for Ma Chao in the future.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Xu Chu bowed and bowed, accepting Jueying.
The next step is to make arrangements to dig the river embankment and flood Xiapi tonight.
Chen Zhou had arranged everything in Xiapi City to ensure that Lu Bu's family could be kidnapped. Then the other things were no longer important and they could do whatever they wanted.
——
After Lu Bu returned, he didn't know what to do.
Zhang Liao couldn't think of what he could do in this situation.
Even if they break out of the encirclement now, it is too late, because the morale of the army is weakened and their morale is no longer as high as before. Without Chen Gong, they are not sure of breaking out.
Leading the people in Xiapi City to continue to defend the city and resist Cao Jun's siege has become their only way at present. However, Cao Cao has not attacked the city, and the people who took the initiative to assist in the defense have long been slack.
In addition, Cao Cao now began to promote benevolent government and whitewash the massacre in Xuzhou.
The news even reached the city.
There are often Cao Cao soldiers shouting loudly outside about things related to Cao Cao's benevolence. Sometimes the public opinion war is fought silently. As the whitewash progresses, some people actually believe that Cao Cao will not massacre the city or massacre. Cross town and so on.
After Chen Gong was captured and Hou Cheng betrayed, the entire Xiapi City was enveloped in an atmosphere of panic. People were panicked, not only in the army, but also in some wealthy families in the city.
Because the Chen family all surrendered, the big families in the city actually wanted to surrender, but they were trapped in the city and had no channels.
Mi Zhu from the common people's sect cannot be said to be from a wealthy family. After all, he is a businessman and a representative of the common people's sect. His status is far lower than that of the Chen family, but he still has a certain say in Xiapi.
At first, he wanted to invest in Liu Bei, thinking that the great uncle of the Han Dynasty was a potential stock.
However, before he started investing and his younger sister failed to get married, Liu Bei rushed to Xudu to prepare to meet the emperor, and then Xiapi was stolen. The Mi family had to live under Lu Bu's rule.
After Lu Bu replaced him, Chen Gong came forward to maintain it, keeping the commoner faction, Danyang faction and scholar faction in balance.
Now Chen Gong is gone, the scholar faction has surrendered, and Cao Bao of the Danyang faction has become Lu Bu's man. Only Mi Zhu of the commoner faction has no choice for the time being, but choosing Lu Bu now is tantamount to self-destruction.
"Zizhong."
At this time, a scribe came to the Mi family.
Chen Qun was originally from Yingchuan, and the Chen family in Yingchuan was a famous family in the late Han Dynasty. A few years ago, he followed his father Chen Ji to seek refuge in Xuzhou. After that, he stayed in Xiapi City and witnessed the change of the banner of this big city.
The current flag is about to change again.
Chen Qun came to find Mi Zhu.
Originally from a famous family and a family of merchants, it was only right that they had little contact with each other.
During the period when the city was under siege, Chen Qun got to know Mi Zhu. He felt that Mi Zhu was a very good person, relatively generous and heroic, and could be met by a philistine without merchants, so they made friends with him.
"Chang Wen is here to visit, what can you do?"
Mi Zhu went out to greet him personally, and then brought Chen Qun into the hall.
Chen Qun said: "I am here for our future! Chen Gongtai was captured. Now there are heavy clouds in Xiapi City. I conclude that Lu Fengxian will not be able to defend the city. Within these few days, Xiapi will be defeated. However, it will be defeated." After the city, what can we do?”
Mi Zhu had also considered that if he was a merchant, he would have to find a big leg to hold on to in order to do business in troubled times.
Previously, I was hugging Tao Qian's thigh, to cooperate with Tao Qian to maintain the balance of the three factions in Xuzhou. Later, I asked Liu Bei to hug me, and now I have asked Lu Bu to hug me. Next, I need to hug another thigh.
Otherwise, his family property may be annexed after the city is destroyed.
The person who has the ability to annex is Cao Cao.
If you hugged Cao Cao's lap, you might be able to avoid this disaster.
"Please give me some advice."
Mi Zhu said.
Chen Qun said: "Lü Bu must have no hope, we must join Cao Sikong's command. When the city is broken, I will gather the servants of my Chen family, open the north city gate, and welcome the imperial army. If Zizhong has any ideas, you can talk to me Together, we can find a way out for your Mi family."
After hearing Chen Qun's plan, Mi Zhu fell into deep thought, wondering about the chances of winning and the possibility of doing so.
——
night.
It finally stopped raining.
Even in the rainy season, it will not rain continuously, otherwise it will easily cause floods.
In the afternoon, Cao Cao led his troops and evacuated all the villages near Xiapi, removing all the crops. He promised to compensate the villagers with food. This year, all the food will be supplied by Cao's army, and there is no need to pay taxes.
This is done to prepare for flooding.
Chen Zhou, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei came to the shore of Surabaya together, faced the rushing water, and looked at Xiapi on the other side of the river. Everything was under control.
The water flooded Xiapi and destroyed the city, and finally we could begin.
