"Watatsuki, how's it going?"
Cao Cao could also see that there was not a single Lu Bu flag on the city tower.
The plan is about to succeed.
But whether it will be successful or not depends on Chen Zhou's plan.
"It's done!"
"But there is still a lot to do before my lord attacks the city."
"Flooding a city will have bad consequences. If it is not handled properly, it will not be conducive for the lord to take over Xuzhou, whitewash the city, and make the people of Xuzhou obey."
Chen Zhou said.
Guo Jia said: "What we are considering is that after a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic, as well as food, rescue, reconstruction and other issues?"
The water flooded Xiapi, although it was their fault.
But the flood was so monstrous that it was considered a flood.
"That's right!"
"First block the river embankment, then drain the flood water, and prepare enough lime."
"We also need food, medicine, etc."
"Flooding and destroying the city can reduce the losses of our army to a very low level, but the sacrifice after the flooding cannot be less."
Chen Zhou continued.
When Liu Bei heard such perfect follow-up arrangements, he was very envious. He thought that Cao Cao's advisers had considered everything, while Jian Yong and Sun Qian around him could not think of anything and were far inferior to them in ability.
The gap is still too big!
Cao Cao calculated in his mind the losses caused by flooding and direct attack on the city.
The former will lose some food and money, while the latter will directly lose a lot of soldiers. Cao Cao has too much money and is not enough to rob tombs. There is also enough food, but once a large number of soldiers are lost, it is not that simple to recruit troops and horses to replenish them.
He couldn't help but admire Chen Zhou's thoughtfulness.
"Send the order and do as Watanabe said."
"quick!"
Cao Cao said loudly.
Chen Zhou added: "I have another arrangement."
"What are the arrangements for Watanabe?"
"An arrangement that can capture Lu Bu."
Chen Zhou said with confidence: "When we break the city, my lord, go to the Baimen Tower in Xiapi and get a captured Lu Bu."
With Chen Zhou's other legendary things as a foreshadowing, they did not doubt the authenticity of what Chen Zhou said.
Since it is said that Lu Bu can be captured alive, then he must be captured alive.
After hearing this, Liu Bei was thoughtful, went to Guan and Zhang, and gave them a few words of advice.
Cao Cao is arranging what will happen after the flood.
Chen Zhou arrived at the sentry post in the west, wrote a letter and sent it to Wei Xu and Wei Xu.
The two of them are still outside the city.
Lu Bu seems to have forgotten about them before making arrangements.
In fact, Lu Bu had forgotten many things. At this time, he lost his fighting spirit and became sluggish and even aimless. Without Chen Gong's assistance, he had no idea what to do.
After receiving a letter from Chen Zhou, Song Xian called for Wei Xu.
"After we attacked the city, we kidnapped Lu Bu and his family and sent them to Baimen Tower."
Wei Xu asked, "What has Lu Bu been doing these days?"
"Drink, keep drinking in the house."
Song Xian said.
Lu Bu could only use wine to drown his sorrows and numb himself.
Wei Xu said: "When our opportunity comes, we will wait for Cao's army to attack the city."
In this state, even they dared to kidnap Lu Bu. He was not afraid of anything for the sake of surrender and merit.
The next day.
"The water has receded!"
The soldiers on the tower of Xiapi City shouted loudly.
After hearing this, the other soldiers looked outside and saw that the water had really receded.
"Why did Cao Cao suddenly stop flooding the city?"
Cao Bao looked outside at Cao Ying in confusion.
Beside him, another Lu Bu subordinate, Qin Yilu, said: "The city is no longer flooded, which means that Cao's army is almost flooded. Our soldiers in the city are also hungry and panicking, and it is difficult to fight anymore."
However, he had just finished speaking.
A loud drum sound came from the direction of Cao Ying.
Dong dong dong...
The sound of the drums was deafening.
Cao's army gathered together, brought various siege tools, stepped on the soaked muddy road, and fought towards Xiapi Tower, officially starting the first siege after the siege.
"General Qin really got it right."
Cao Bao exclaimed and shouted quickly: "Bang the war drum, hurry up...Cao's army is coming to attack the city, hurry up and notify Marquis Wen."
Dong dong dong...
The war drums on Xiapi City Tower were then beaten.
Seeing Cao Jun coming to attack the city, Wei Xu and Song Xian pretended to be panicked, accidentally lowered the moat, and then hurriedly entered the west gate to defend.
"I will lead people to capture Lu Bu. You are here, open the city gate and let Cao's army in."
Wei Xu said.
"good!"
Song Xian is naturally fine.
The two of them acted separately.
The siege was officially underway. Lu Bu's soldiers had been hungry for several days and had no strength in their bodies. The people who had been recruited to defend the city were not much better.
At this time, facing Cao's army's attack, they did not even have the strength to pick up weapons.
Only Zhang Liao led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, dismounted and climbed onto the tower, raised their swords and fought with Cao Jun, but the effect was not good.
"Go and inform Marquis Wen quickly!"
Zhang Liao shouted.
At this time, Lu Bu must appear to stabilize the situation and bring morale to the army. Lu Bu is the backbone of their army.
Many people kept rushing to Lu Bu's mansion, but none of them could go as fast as Wei Xu.
After Song Xian sent Wei Xu away, he drew his sword and killed Cheng Lian, the guard at the west gate. He shouted: "Brothers, Cao's army is about to break the city. We are so hungry that we don't even have the strength to resist. If we don't want to die, Everyone join me, open the city gate and surrender, Cao Sikong and I promised that as long as they surrender, they can survive."
When the soldiers in the west of the city heard this, they were all stunned. They didn't expect that Song Xian had surrendered.
But looking outside the city, Cao's troops were about to rush in. The soldiers felt that the defenders would surely die and had no choice but to surrender. After a moment of hesitation, they all responded to Song Xian's call and had to surrender.
As a result, the west gate of the city was opened wide to welcome Cao's army.
at the same time.
Liu Bei led Guan and Zhang to attack the city.
"Second brother, third brother, you all remember, right?"
"Go to Baimen Tower immediately and kill Lu Bu before Cao Cao arrives."
"This is an opportunity to kill Lu Bu."
"If Cao Cao is soft-hearted and subdues him, it will be difficult to kill him in the future."
There was a fierce light in Liu Bei's eyes.
After this battle, Lu Bu must die.
Even if the gods come, they can't save him, Liu Bei said.
"Brother, I understand!"
Zhang Fei's eyes were also a little fierce, and he said fiercely: "Today, Lu Bu must die. If he doesn't die, I will die."
"good!"
Liu Bei shouted: "Attack the city, enter as soon as possible, and fight to the Baimen Tower."
"Lord!"
At this time, Chen Dao ran over and said: "The guards at the west gate seem to have been incited to rebel a long time ago. Now open the gate and surrender."
"Go to Ximen."
Liu Bei was originally from the south of the city. When he heard this, he didn't care about anything else and planned to fight in through the west gate. He would fight to the Baimen Tower first. At the same time, while Cao Jun focused his attention on Xiapi, he arranged for Chen to pick up Chen Gong. .
At this time, most of the Xiapi soldiers had weak hands and weak legs.
They had no strength at all and picked up weapons to resist. They killed them very easily. Even if Liu Bei had these remaining soldiers, they could kill them quite easily and quickly reached the west gate.
"Let's go to Baimen Tower!"
Liu Bei said excitedly.
North of the city.
Chen Qun and Mi Zhu led their servants and servants.
At this time, some servants and private soldiers raised by the family, also called tribes, came to the north of the city and met with Hao Meng, the guard in the north of the city.
