Cao Cao stopped his army in Xiancheng and rested while waiting for the reply from Ying Shao and Ding Yuan.
His army was too exhausted to ambush Qiaomao's returning troops, but all the more than thirty letters were sent out one after another.
One day later, Ding Tao.
Seeing the rebels disappear, Ding Yuan felt relieved.
Looking at the letter sent by Cao Cao, Ding Yuan and Lu Bu laughed and said, "Fengxian, do you believe this letter?"
Lu Bu looked hesitant and said: "Father, if we rush in lightly, it is possible to do it."
Ding Yuan shook his head and said: "My father was once an officer in the general's palace, and he was familiar with Cao Cao. This man was brave and foolhardy, and used to talk big words. Looking at him as an official for more than ten years, he had no achievements at all! Qiao! If the person pretending to be someone else, my father might be deceived and lead his troops out of the city, but it is Cao Cao, which is really ridiculous!"
Lu Bu immediately felt convinced and said: "My foster father is wise! No matter whether the rebels are really retreating or pretending to retreat, as long as we stick to Dingtao, the rebels will not be able to advance westward. When the imperial reinforcements arrive, we will merge and march eastward to wipe out the rebels." , just around the corner!”
That's what Ding Yuan thought, and said: "Send troops out to investigate again and see what other methods these traitors have!?"
"Yes." Lu Bu said nothing and turned around with his spear in hand.
Ding Yuan looked at Cao Cao's letter again, sneered, and put it directly into the trash can.
At this time in Xiancheng, Cao Cao was full of ambition and ambition.
He stood at the top of the city of Xiancheng, looking towards the direction of Puyang, and said loudly to Guo Jia beside him: "Fengxiao, I will wait until Ding Shijun goes north to join my army. I should send you to the north of Puyang. Within ten days, I will do it." Destroy Puyang!"
Guo Jia saw Cao Cao's majestic momentum and high spirits. He drank wine and said with a smile: "General, after such achievements, I am afraid that he will be granted the title of marquis not far away."
'Female marquis? '
Cao Cao's narrow eyes narrowed, and his heart became uncontrollably excited.
I miss Cao Cao, who has been conquering here and there for so many years. This is the first time that he has been so close to the title of prince!
Cao Cao quickly calmed down his expression and said solemnly to Guo Jia: "It's all thanks to Feng Xiao's help!"
He was telling the truth. The last few times he led troops on expeditions, they all retreated in defeat. Only this time, it went smoothly beyond his imagination!
Guo Jia drank again and said, "Should the official's remuneration be increased?"
Cao Cao laughed loudly when he heard this.
After so many days, he has already seen that Guo Jia is a person with great ambitions. Apart from good wine, money and other external things are not in Guo Jia's eyes at all!
"General!" At this time, a chief officer ran over and handed over two letters and said: "There is a letter from Army Sima and one from Jizhou."
Cao Cao quickly took it, tore open the first letter, hurriedly scanned it, and said excitedly to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, Miaocai has raised money and food, and recruited 3,000 people. He has already brought 17,000 people from Feng County." , with a combined force of 20,000, we are about to arrive at Changyi."
Guo Jia was a little surprised and said: "It seems that the general's achievements are already in sight!"
Cao Cao nodded heavily, his long and narrow eyes pulsating with sharp light, looking straight in the direction of Puyang.
With Xia Houyuan's 20,000 men behind him, not only did he have enough troops, but the most important thing was that he no longer went deep alone, but he could advance and attack, and retreat and defend!
After a while, Cao Cao seemed to suddenly remember that he had another letter in his hand. He opened it, frowned, thought for a moment, and handed it to Guo Jia.
Seeing Cao Cao's face, Guo Jia took a look, his eyes moved slightly, and said: "The Black Mountain Army invaded Jizhou? It's not surprising. Qiao Mao and others conspired to rebel, and wrote letters to various places. The Black Mountain Army took the opportunity to rob Jizhou counties... In response, Not long after you entered Jizhou, the foundation was not yet stable, so it was natural for you to return your troops to suppress the bandits."
Cao Cao's expression did not change and he said loudly: "Even if there is no envoy Ying, with the troops and horses of Envoy Ding and I, it will be easy to pacify Puyang!"
Guo Jia raised his eyelids and stared at Cao Cao's profile, then looked at the letter in his hand without answering.
Ying Shao's letter has arrived, but Ding Yuan, who is closer, has not moved yet.
…
In the evening, Cao Cao finally woke up and looked in the direction of Dingtao. With a sullen face, he said in a hateful voice: "Ding Yuan missed the opportunity to fight, so he should be killed!"
Ding Yuan has been holding back his troops until now. One day's delay will give the rebels one more day to prepare!
Guo Jia sat next to him and said thoughtfully: "General, do you have any old grudges with Ding Shijun?"
Cao Cao looked ugly and said, "Both Na Ding and I were guests at General He Jin's Mansion. We have no close friendship. I don't know why he didn't even reply to the letter!"
Guo Jia was also surprised and said: "It stands to reason that Ding Shijun was the first to blame for Yanzhou's defeat. He didn't want to make up for it, but stood still. Could it be that he had other thoughts?"
Cao Cao's expression changed slightly and he said, "What does filial piety mean?"
When Guo Jia saw it, he quickly shook his head and said: "I don't suspect that Ding Shijun is involved in the rebellion, I just think that Ding Shijun's behavior is very abnormal."
Hearing this, Cao Cao felt something. He looked at the door with cold eyes and said, "Fengxiao's words reminded me that Ding Yuan has always been weak, hesitant in his actions, and has no sense of responsibility. He may be holding back because he wants to save his life. Strength, afraid of being exposed again!"
If things are revealed again, Ding Yuan will have no choice but to die.
Guo Jia sat up straight and said sternly: "General, we must have Commander Ding lead his troops and unite them together!"
Cao Cao understood that with the more than 20,000 men in his hands, it would be too difficult to conquer Puyang.
Cao Cao's expression changed for a while, and he said: "I will write to him again, Xiaozhi is awesome!"
Guo Jia turned sideways and said, "That's not enough. Isn't Yuan Rang coming to Jiyin soon? Please persuade Ding Shijun in person and then send a letter to the court."
Cao Cao looked at him and said doubtfully: "The court's repeated visits may take too long and have no effect."
Guo Jiadao: "I want to write it. It is for His Majesty and all the princes in the court to see. Don't mention Ding Shijun and stay still, only mention the general's strategy."
Cao Cao suddenly understood and said, "I'll write it right now!"
Guo Jia frowned secretly when she saw him picking up the pen.
Waiting for Ding Yuan to send troops again will have to be postponed for at least two or three days. These two or three days are enough for Qiao Mao and others to be fully prepared.
By the time Cao Cao and Ding Yuan joined forces, their advantage was gone. The great situation suddenly turned into a stalemate siege!
This is very detrimental to Cao Cao or the court.
The idea of Cao Cao and the court is to achieve a quick victory. If it is delayed, it will not only waste money and food, but also damage the prestige of the court and encourage the ambitions of disobedient people!
As a staff member, Guo Jia thought more and further than Cao Cao.
'How can we break the city as quickly as possible? Guo Jia kept thinking in his eyes.
…
Cao Cao occupied Xiancheng, sent troops to wipe out the nearby bandits, gathered young men, accumulated money and food, and waited for Xia Houyuan's arrival.
One day later, Xiahou Dun entered Dingtao with two thousand people.
When Xiahou Dun finished speaking, Ding Yuan stared at him in disbelief and said, "You mean, Cao Mengde really bypassed Chen Liu and attacked Shanyang County by surprise?"
Xiahou Dun had received Cao Cao's letter, and he was very angry at Ding Yuan's inaction. With an expressionless face, he suppressed his anger and raised his hand and said: "Yes. I also ask Ding Shijun to send troops to join forces with Wuwei's army to conquer Puyang!"
Lu Bu stood aside, staring at Xiahou Dun's face, then turned to look at Ding Yuan.
Ding Yuan's face was full of surprise, and he suddenly changed, and said in a deep voice: "Based on your one-sided words, how can I believe you? An army of 20,000 people can't do it no matter how fast it is!"
Xiahou Dun raised his hand and said: "Ding Shijun, there are not 20,000 people, but 3,000 people. We can do it with light clothing and simple obedience."
Ding Yuan snorted coldly and said: "Three thousand people, from Feng County to Changyi, do you know how many rebels blocked it? There were even ten thousand soldiers and horses in Changyi. Cao Cao's three thousand people easily broke through and fought all the way. Xiancheng, are you so easy to fool me?"
Xiahou Dun opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Cao Cao's letter was very simple and did not describe the entire process in detail.
Seeing Lu Bu on the sidelines, he immediately felt that what his adoptive father said was reasonable. He swung his spear, pointed at Xiahou Dun and shouted: "Could it be that you have also defected to the rebels and want to lure us out of the city?"
Xiahou Dun was furious, took out the seal from his arms, and said loudly: "What the hell! General Wuwei's seal is here, disobeying orders is like disobeying orders!"
Ding Yuan hurriedly walked over and saw that it was indeed General Wuwei's seal, and his expression became ugly.
This shows that his previous judgment was wrong and delayed several days. Now Xiahou Dun actually holds Cao Cao's seal, which shows that Cao Cao is very angry with him!
If Cao Cao impeaches him, the court will never let him go!
Lu Bu withdrew his spear, came to Ding Yuan's side, and whispered, "Father?"
Ding Yuan was angry with Cao Cao in his heart. He thought about it and said: "Send troops."
In fact, he had a crazy idea in his heart. He wanted to kill Xiahou Dun and silence him, pretending not to know about it, so that he would still have room to argue when he got to the court afterwards.
But this approach is too dangerous, and one bad thing is that you will die without a burial place.
"Yes!" Lu Bu still respected Ding Yuan very much. Hearing this, he turned around and mobilized his troops without saying a word.
Seeing this, Xiahou Dun took back the seal and raised his hand and said, "Thank you so much, Commander Ding. General Wu Wei said that the rebellion was put down, and I would like to thank Commander Ding first for the credit."
Ding Yuan didn't believe it at all, and thought about which ministers to write to, asking him to explain to the court on his behalf.
Xiahou Dun, Ding Yuan, and Lu Bu joined forces with 15,000 men and rushed to Xiancheng to join Cao Cao.
Not long after Ding Yuan sent troops, Liu Bian in the palace also received a letter from Cao Cao.
At this time, the court break was about to end, and Liu Bian, Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Xun You and others were intensively discussing a series of major and minor matters after the change of Yuan Dynasty.
After reading Cao Cao's letter, Liu Bian felt reassured and said to the people in front of him with a smile on his face: "Cao Cao sent out surprise troops, bypassed Chenliu and Jiyin, and raided Shanyang County. Now he has captured Changyi and is approaching Dongjun. , Puyang, the home base of Qiao Mao and others."
Yang Biao and others looked shocked and looked at each other.
No one expected that Cao Cao, who had been dilly-dallying and fearful, would actually do something like this!
Wang Yun frowned, thought carefully, and said: "Your Majesty, judging from the time, it seems that something is wrong."
Liu Bian's smile did not fade and he said: "He rushed in lightly, with only three thousand men. Now, we are waiting to join forces with Ding Yuan to attack Puyang together."
Wang Yun still had many doubts in his heart, but he couldn't say much at the moment. He looked indifferent and said: "Your Majesty, the Black Mountain Army suddenly invaded Jizhou. I am afraid that he conspired with Na Qiaomao and others, and should be severely punished!"
Liu Bian nodded, his eyes cold, and said: "When Cao Cao pacifies Yanzhou and Ying Shao takes control of Jizhou, I will merge the troops from the three states of Jizhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou to completely wipe out the Black Mountain Army!"
Just as Xun You was about to open his mouth, Zhong Yao stabbed him quietly.
Xun You looked over and understood immediately, without saying anything more.
Liu Bian had a clear view of the movements of these two people, and he understood their meaning in two words: money and food.
"Accelerate the transfer of money and grain and the salt administration!"
Liu Bian looked at the crowd and said, "Before the summer harvest, we must achieve results!"
Yang Biao and Wang Yun all raised their hands and said: "I will receive the order!"
Liu Bian turned around with a smile on his face and said: "Generally speaking, the situation is still improving. The affairs of Yanzhou will be left to the Grand Sima Mansion, and the Qing family will concentrate on promoting the New Deal!"
"I'm waiting for your order!" The four people raised their hands again.
Liu Bian hummed, stood up first, and left the Chancellor's desk.
As soon as Liu Bian left, several others left Yang Biao's room one after another. Wang Yun took a few steps, grabbed Zhong Yao, and whispered: "Zhong Tingwei, don't you have any doubts in your heart?"
Cao Cao's unusual behavior and strange moves made Wang Yun, who had never trusted him, become even more suspicious.
Seeing this, Zhong Yao said solemnly: "Your Majesty is happy at this time. Does the prince have to get to the bottom of it?"
When Wang Yun saw Zhong Yao saying this, he felt secretly angry.
How can we only care about your majesty’s happiness when it comes to national affairs?
"Hmph!" Wang Yun snorted coldly and walked away.
Zhong Yao was startled by Wang Yun's hum, a little confused.
Liu Bian left the Chancellor's Desk without Pan Yin, and with only a few yellow gates behind him, he went straight to Pixiang Palace where Princess Tang lived.
"Your Majesty..." the palace maid saluted Liu Bian when she saw him.
Liu Bian smiled and waved his hand, saying: "No need to report, I will go in directly."
The palace maid stepped aside and respectfully sent Liu Bian in.
Liu Bian entered the palace gate, but did not find Tang Ji. Seeing two cups of tea on the table, he sat down with a smile and said loudly: "You know I'm here."
As he said that, he picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp.
Before he could put down the tea cup, he caught a glimpse of Cai Wenji coming out of the corner of his eye and standing at the side door, looking at him strangely.
Liu Bian didn't know that Cai Wenji had entered the palace. He put down the cup with a smile and was about to speak when he saw a light lip mark on the cup.
Liu Bian opened his eyes and heard Tang Ji's footsteps. He looked slightly panicked. He suddenly took the teapot, filled the teacup, and pushed it aside.
Cai Wenji blinked and froze, staring straight at Liu Bian.
"What's wrong with Miss Cai?" Tang Ji came from behind. Before she could finish her words, when she saw Liu Bian, her pretty face lit up and she stepped forward and said, "I have asked you to meet your Majesty."
Liu Bian glanced at Cai Wenji, coughed slightly, and said with a smile: "I heard that Miss Cai is here, so I came here to see her. Okay, I won't interrupt your conversation, I still have government affairs to deal with."
Before Tang Ji could leave the side door, Liu Bian had already left the door.
He ran away quite embarrassed.
Tang Ji asked in confusion: "Why did your Majesty leave in such a hurry?"
Cai Wenji's pretty face turned red and she hummed softly.
Cai Wenji was wearing a veil, so Tang Ji couldn't see her face, so she pulled her over and said, "Miss Cai, let's talk about the rhyme just now."
Cai Wenji breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Tang Ji with a guilty conscience. She sat down at the small table and looked at the cup of tea Liu Bian had drunk. She couldn't help but pursed her lips, a little worried about how she would drink it later.
Liu Bian left the Pixiang Palace and turned back to the Jingfu Palace, secretly rejoicing: Fortunately, no one else saw it, otherwise the explanation would not be clear.
…
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
Ding Yuan led his troops north and joined forces with Cao Cao in Xiancheng.
Cao Cao and Ding were acquaintances. They were both former subordinates of General He Jin's mansion. They raised their hands to greet each other very politely when they met.
In the back hall of Xiancheng, everyone sat down separately. Ding Yuan was the first to speak and said with a smile: "Mengde, we said goodbye in the past. We haven't seen each other for several years, right?"
Cao Cao also had a smile on his face and said: "Ding Shijun's style is still the same, I am very happy to congratulate you."
Ding Yuan glanced at Guo Jia, Xiahou Dun and others, paused for a moment, and said with emotion: "In the past, we were still struggling to eradicate the eunuchs, but today we can join hands to defeat the traitors. It is really a great fate. "
When Cao Cao saw Ding Yuan reminiscing about the past, he glanced at the tall and mighty Lu Bu calmly and said, "Shijun Ding is superior to Cao Cao in terms of ability and quality. Shijun Ding held back more than ten rebels in Dingtao. Day, otherwise Cao Cao would not be able to make a surprise attack here. The success of pacifying the thieves should be attributed to Ding Shijun."
After listening to Cao Cao's words, Ding Yuan felt relieved and immediately said: "How about I command the attack on the city tomorrow?"
Cao Cao raised his hand and said: "Everything will be subject to the arrangements of Commander Ding."
Ding Yuan seemed to be worried that Cao Cao would regret it, so he turned to look at Lu Bu and said, "Lü Bu, you will recruit 10,000 troops tomorrow and go to call the formation. You must win in one battle and strengthen our army!"
"General, take your orders!" Lu Bu took a step forward and responded loudly.
Guo Jia on the side saw it and shook his head secretly.
This Ding Yuan seemed smart, but in fact he was stupid. Although he seemed to take the credit for the first attack, he also became a pawn.
Early the next morning, Lu Bu ordered 10,000 soldiers and horses and went to the gate of Puyang City to call for formation.
Lü Bu held a spear and a green-maned horse at his hip. He looked majestic and majestic. He stood in front of the formation and shouted towards Puyang City: "Under the command of Bingzhou Ding Shijun, Lü Bu is here. Who dares to go out of the city to fight!"
Puyang City was full of people. Not long after, a strong man galloped out on horseback, followed by more than thirty riders.
"Taishan Mao Hui is here, the thieves will stop being rampant!" The visitor went straight to Lu Bu and attacked with a sword.
Lu Bu didn't talk nonsense at all, he slapped his legs, and the green-maned horse galloped and killed him with a spear in hand.
"die!"
After only three rounds, Lu Bu dismounted Mao Hui and stabbed him hard, piercing his throat.
The more than thirty riders turned around and fled.
Lu Bu picked up Mao Hui's body, galloped towards Puyang City, and shouted: "Who dares to come and die!"
In Puyang City, everything was quiet and the gates were closed.
Not far away, Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu, his long and narrow eyes flashing with surprise.
In his opinion, the brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were already the most powerful generals in the world, but he never thought that Lu Bu was even more brave.
'It would be great if you were under my command. '
Cao Cao thought to himself, glanced at Ding Yuan, and laughed and said: "Ding Shijun has such a fierce general, all the achievements in the world are in his hands!"
Ding Yuan was very satisfied with Lu Bu's performance. He stroked his beard and said with a proud smile: "Mengde deserves the praise."
Guo Jia felt bad when he saw that Puyang City was no longer fighting. He stepped forward and whispered to Cao Cao: "General, you might as well let Ding Shijun attack the city."
Cao Cao turned to Ding Yuan and said, "Ding Shijun, the rebel army has been weakened. How about attacking the city?"
Ding Yuan was startled and said: "Siege the city?"
According to the usual practice, when two armies confront each other, they must first boost their morale, and then attack the city.
Cao Cao looked solemn and said: "Your Majesty, we cannot give the rebels time. The longer they delay, the worse it will be for us. We must fight quickly."
Ding Yuan didn't want to think that forcing an attack on the city would cause too many losses to his soldiers.
But he had a "handle" in Cao Cao's hands, and he expected Cao Cao to come to court to say a kind word for him in the future. He hesitated again and said, "Okay. Send an order to Lu Bu to attack the city immediately."
Lu Bu received the military order and without hesitation, sent troops to attack the city.
The siege equipment had been prepared, and ten thousand people rushed over like a tide.
Puyang City was even better prepared, with arrows like rain, stones, ice, and even kerosene covering the city walls.
Seeing this, Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia with his usual expression.
Guo Jia took a sip of wine and watched quietly.
In less than half an hour, Ding Yuan couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Mengde, please add more troops."
His 10,000 men couldn't attack at all. Seeing more and more corpses brought back, Ding Yuan felt heartbroken.
Cao Cao's narrow eyes twitched with cold light, and he said calmly: "Retract the troops."
"Retract the troops!" Ding Yuan didn't think much and directly shouted the order.
Cao Cao didn't look much and turned back to the camp.
As soon as Guo Jia came in, he drove away the guards and whispered: "Fengxiao, what do you see?"
Guo Jia had no expression on his face and said calmly: "We missed the best opportunity. I'm afraid Qiao Mao and others are determined to hold on."
Cao Cao suddenly became sullen and cursed: "Old thief Ding Yuan! You ruined my life!"
He didn't understand that Ding Yuan had delayed for a few days and missed the best opportunity to attack the city. Now Qiao Mao and others were fully prepared, and there were 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers in the city. If they wanted to capture it, not to mention how many soldiers it would cost, just the cost. As time goes by, his food and grass may not be able to sustain it!
The great situation suddenly changed, which was very unfavorable to him!
Cao Cao was furious but did not lose his cool and said: "Fengxiao, what else can you do?"
Guo Jia took a sip of wine and said, "It depends on whether the general's letters will work."
Cao Cao thought for a while and understood - a strong city is difficult to break from the outside, but easy to break from the inside!
Cao Cao sat down and looked at the paper and pen beside him, his expression changing constantly.
Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan came in from outside. Xiahou Dun said: "Mengde, we have captured another three thousand people."
Yanzhou is in complete chaos, not to mention the rebels, the Yellow Turban bandits, and all kinds of bandits emerging in endlessly. No place is peaceful. The Xiahou brothers led troops to suppress bandits, and achieved great results every time.
Cao Cao ignored the Xiahou brothers and was still thinking about the people who could be used in Puyang City.
Guo Jia glanced at the two of them and picked up the jug to drink.
Since the Xiahou brothers joined Cao Cao, the number of their troops has been increasing, from the initial twenty to thirty thousand to fifty or sixty thousand.
However, instead of increasing the amount of food and grass, the consumption increased day by day. Even if the rations were reduced, they would not be able to survive for ten days.
'Ten days. '
A flash of concentration flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, and he turned around and said to Cao Cao: "General, order the troops to march around the city, keep shouting, and pretend to attack the city, day and night."
Cao Cao's expression perked up, he looked at the Xiahou brothers and said, "Do as Feng Xiao said."
Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun raised their hands and said, "I have the order."
Before the two of them could walk out, Cao Cao wrote quickly and wrote several letters in a row. Then he handed it to Guo Jia and said, "Fengxiao, do you think it's feasible?"
Guo Jia took it, read it carefully, and said, "Yes."
These are not for those important rebels, but for all the soldiers and civilians of Puyang City.
When Cao Cao heard this, he said: "Fengxiao, Puyang is not a fortified city. If we dig into the ground, is it feasible?"
Guo Jia never believed in this method, so he took a sip and said, "You can give it a try."
Cao Cao saw it on his face, gave up the idea, and thought hard about countermeasures. At the same time, he hated Ding Yuan to death!
At night, the east gate of Puyang City.
Xia Houyuan led five thousand troops and beat drums for a while to attack. As soon as they reached the range of the arrows upstairs, they immediately shouted gold and retreated.
Going back and forth, intermittently, there was a lot of tension on the east gate, and no one dared to be careless.
On the other side, Xiahou Dun led his troops and horses around the city. Hundreds of soldiers shouted in unison: "Rebellious ministers and traitors will not die well! Those who surrender will not be killed and will not be held accountable!"
The sound was loud and vibrating like thunder, echoing endlessly over Puyang City.
Puyang City was in chaos, with shouts and fires everywhere.
Puyang City Government Office.
Zang Ba, covered in blood, rushed to Qiaomao and said angrily: "The traitor Cao is making such a noise, do we have to be so cowardly?"
Qiao Mao had a similar appearance to Qiao Zheng, but he was more calm. He said calmly: "I have received news that Cao Cao's army cannot last for ten days. As long as we wait a few more days, Cao Cao's army will be short of food. When you, Captain Zang, have made a meritorious service!"
Zang Ba looked at the other people present, snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Qiao Mao attacked a rough middle-aged man and said loudly: "Prefect Qiao, why don't you send your troops to the north and attack Yecheng with my Black Mountain Army? When Cao Cao comes after me, follow me into Youzhou and establish a place on your own. Wouldn't you be free and happy?" comfortable?"
Qiao Mao glanced at him and said, "Colonel Bai, can the Black Mountain Army really attack Ye City?"
Bai Rao smiled confidently and said: "The Han Dynasty is decayed and the people's hearts and minds are lost. There are only a few more people in Jizhou like the Qiao governor. It is only a matter of time before Ye City is conquered."
Qiaomao looked at him deeply and said, "Cao Cao will definitely be defeated."
Bai Rao didn't say much. Anyway, if he wanted to leave, no one could stop him.
"What's the news from Ren Chengguo?" Qiao Mao looked at Wang Gong on his right.
Wang Gong said: "If the Prime Minister of Ren City raises troops to resist, I am afraid that he has colluded with Cao Cao."
Qiao thought for a while and said, "Liu Yu hasn't replied yet?"
Wang Hu shook his head and said: "It is said that Xianbei invaded the border area and Liu Shijun personally led his troops to western Liaoning."
Qiao Mao frowned, then let go, listening to the drums and shouts outside, his expression flashed with annoyance, and murderous intent floated on his face, and he said: "City-wide curfew, violators will be killed!"
Everyone was shocked and quickly stood up and said: "Yes!"
Bai Luoyun stood up and left straight away.
Qiao Mao didn't care about it. Bai Luo was just a messenger.
Outside Puyang City, there is Dingyuan Camp.
Ding Yuan was still afraid of Cao Cao, so he did not join forces with Cao Cao and kept his own camp.
Standing on a high place, looking at the excitement below Puyang City, Ding Yuan pinched his thin beard on his chin and said, "Fengxiao, do you have a way to attack this city?"
Lu Bu looked at it, thought for a while, and said, "Father, if we want to conquer Puyang, we need thirty thousand people."
"Thirty thousand?"
Ding Yuan looked at Cao Cao's camp, his expression obscure and his eyes dim.
He doesn't have 30,000 people, but Cao Cao does!
Ding Yuan turned his head and whispered to Lu Bu: "Send people around to look for charming and good-natured women. Find more and bring them over."
Lu Bu was startled, wasn't his adopted father a lecherous person?
For me?
Lu Bu looked serious, raised his hand and said, "Father, a big thing is about to happen, so we should work hard. My son is not a greedy person, please don't worry about me!"
Ding Yuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "My father still can't trust you? My father prepared these for Cao Cao."
