Liu Bei led Yu Yi and others to watch from behind. If it was a regular landfill work, it was actually simple. The problem was that it required a lot of determination to do it in the rain of arrows from the opponent. As expected, it didn't take long for two generals to quit. Heart, want to escape behind.
Cao Cao stood at the rear and personally beheaded the two generals. He also personally joined the soldiers and filled the holes with the sergeants. He was not afraid of danger at all. Everyone saw that their lords had come in person and there was no reason to retreat. Morale was so high that they became a death squad. The enemy defenders on the city could not withstand the repeated attacks, and were finally captured. Then soldiers cut off the chains of the city gate, and other armies poured in.
After seeing this, Yu Yi felt happy and said, "It seems there is still a way. This belief is very important."
Liu Bei looked at it from the side and said, "What are you muttering about? Hurry up and rush in together. Maybe we can grab some credit."
The troops of Cao Jun and Liu Bei who entered the city basically wiped out Shouchun's military forces with overwhelming force. Yu Yi also followed up and killed several enemies. In fact, he didn't like fighting and killing like this at all, so he started to enter Shouchun's army. At that time, he didn't take the initiative to take action, but the enemy would not be soft-hearted and just slashed at him with a knife. Yu Yi had no choice but to protect himself, so he could only kill him.
Zhang Fei saw clearly from the side and did not forget to taunt him. Yu Yi saw that a large number of enemies were already dead around Zhang Fei.
The enemy was quickly eliminated, and the generals Li Feng, Chen Ji, Lejiu, Liang Gang and others who defended the city were all captured alive. Cao Cao had no intention of persuading them to surrender and did not give them a chance to surrender. He directly ordered them to be dragged to the market. Beheading, some palaces built by Yuan Shu when he ascended the throne were burned, as well as some things that conflicted with the Han Dynasty. Other objects in Shouchun City were also confiscated.
Then Cao Cao held a meeting and asked to take advantage of the high morale of the sergeants to continue chasing Yuan Shu.
At this time, Xun Yu came to remonstrate and said: "There will be an early famine after the beginning of the new year, and food will be difficult. If we send troops at this time, we will tire the army and wear down the people. There is no benefit at all. It is better for us to retreat to Xudu first, and wait until the spring wheat matures to supply the army with food." That’s enough, let’s attack him again, after all, he doesn’t have much power anymore, so he’s basically just sitting there waiting to be killed.”
At this time, he hesitated to persuade Cao Cao to give up. After all, returning to Xu would give Yuan Shu a chance to breathe, and it would also increase other variables.
Suddenly someone came to report that after Zhang Xiu defected to Liu Biao, he got Liu Biao's support and started to fight back. Nanyang and Jiangling counties had already rebelled. Cao Hong couldn't resist it and had already been defeated several times. Now I have sent someone specifically to tell you about this situation.
This incident promoted Cao Cao's idea of returning to Xudu, so he wrote a letter to Sun Ce, hoping that he could set up a formation across the river so that Liu Biao would think he was a suspicious soldier and would not dare to act rashly, and then go to work immediately to talk to Zhang Xiu. Before leaving, he called Liu Bei over and asked Liu Bei to station troops in Xiaopei. Then he and Lu Bu became brothers. They could help each other and must not attack each other anymore, so Lu Bu returned to Xuzhou with his troops.
As soon as Liu Bei and others arrived at Xiaopei, they received someone from Cao Cao, saying: "I sent you to station troops in Xiaopei to prepare for the strategy of digging a hole to wait for the tiger. You can secretly discuss with Chen Gui and his son. I am your Foreign aid!" After saying that, he left in a hurry.
All this was in Yu Yi's eyes, and he said to Liu Bei: "Brother, what Cao Cao did was very dangerous. He knew that Lu Bu and us would become brothers, and secretly set up a secret chess game like Chen Gui and his son in Xuzhou. He hoped that we would fight Lu Bu. , and then he comes to gain.”
Liu Bei smiled and patted Yu Yi on the shoulder, saying: "I don't know this, but it's not that easy for me to be a pawn."
Yu Yi nodded. It seemed that his worries were unnecessary, so he said: "In that case, I will leave first."
Returning to Xiaopei again, Yu Yi had a warm feeling. He had lived here for a while. He was walking on the street and passed Lu Bu's camp before. He remembered how he had questioned Lu Bu during that time, but he did not ask. Whatever happened, I thought I hadn't contacted Red for a while, so I marked a special area and time to find Red.
Yuyi glanced at Red and found that he seemed to be injured, and asked, "Are you okay? Are you having any difficulties?"
Red said: "Now a lot of defenses have been added to Emperor Xian's side. General Xu, Cao Cao's number one tiger general, is in charge. Recently, I went to scout for information at night and was accidentally discovered. I managed to escape with great difficulty."
Yuyi nodded and sighed: "It seems that we still need to send some more people. Our organization is not strong enough. Unfortunately, I don't have the energy to lead now."
Then Yu Yi raised the question he was most concerned about and said: "Do you have any information about Diao Chan? Have you seen her around Lu Bu's activities?"
He replied: "No, but the villagers in Luoyang City said they saw a woman who looked like Diao Chan."
This news is very crucial. Yu Yi felt very happy after hearing it and said: "Do you have a specific location? I will set off there now."
So Red drew the village on a map, chatted for a few words and then left. Yuyi looked at the map and couldn't calm down for a long time. Finally, he could see his favorite again.
Of course, there is another piece of information that Yu Yi has been paying attention to, and that is the news about his master Jia Xu. He originally thought that after Jia Xu surrendered, he would go to Cao Cao, so that he could ask for advice at any time, but he did not expect that he would organize Zhang Xiu to do it again. A counterattack also caused Cao Cao to lose a beauty and a general Dian Wei. I am afraid that this battle will not be settled like this, so he has been worried about Jia Xu's safety and also paid attention to Zhang Xiu's movements. Later, Hearing that he had taken refuge with Liu Biao, he felt that Jia Xu was safe for the time being, so he paid no attention to it. However, the information brought by red this time revealed Cao Cao's true purpose of returning to Xudu, which was that Liu Biao lent troops and horses to Zhang Xiu, and he actually went to Wan. Chengfang fought back. I'm afraid all this was the master's idea. He couldn't understand what his master was thinking.
After Cao Cao led his troops to Xudu, someone came to report that Duan Xuan had killed Li Jue and Wu Xi had killed Guo Si. Duan Xuan captured all of Li Cui's tribe, old and young, more than 200 people alive, and escorted them to Xudu.
Cao Cao was originally very angry about Zhang Xiu's incident, especially Dian Wei's death because of it. Cao Cao turned his anger to this incident and actually distributed the more than 200 people around the city gate and beheaded them one by one. The scene was extremely Bloody, and then publicized, Li Ji's crime was nothing more than messing up the court, but Cao Cao added many crimes to him, only fooling the people.
After Emperor Xian learned about this, he was very grateful to Cao Cao. You must know that at that time, he basically lived a life of being chased everywhere by Li Cui and Guo Si, and was frightened every day. Now that these days are over, the source has been cut off, and he personally ascended to the palace. , gathered all the civil and military officials, held a Taiping banquet, named Duan Xuan the general of destroying bandits, and Wu Xi the general of destroying captives, and sent some soldiers and horses to them to guard Chang'an.
