Chapter 170
Jizhou, Liyang City.
The sound of killing shook the sky, and the drums beat like thunder.
Along the front line of the city, the ladders are dense, and countless Cao soldiers are bravely attacking the city.
Under the city of Liyang, Cao's army was attacking fiercely.
On the Yellow River, warships are transporting tens of thousands of Cao troops, which continue to sail to the north bank and join the ranks of the siege.
"Capture Liyang, and this will be a smooth road to Yecheng. "
"Yuan Shang has neither prestige nor eloquence, and he can't resist the front of our army. "
"In less than a year, the four states of Hebei are all in the empty bag. "
Guo Jia smiled confidently and sketched a blueprint for Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was in high spirits, and said with a proud smile: "Pass the order, the whole army will storm Liyang, and those who climb the city first will be rewarded!"
The morale of the Cao army was even higher, and the siege was more fierce.
Then.
A messenger came galloping.
"Qi Yu Sikong, Jingzhou secret report. "
Liu Bei mutinied, raided Xiangyang successfully, and forced Liu Biao to give up the position of Jingzhou pastor. "
"The seven counties of Jingzhou have now been swallowed by Liu Bei!"
Cao Cao changed color slightly, and his face was a little surprised.
Liu Bei is ambitious, unwilling to be subservient, and has a plan to steal Jingzhou, Cao Cao naturally knows it.
To Cao Cao's surprise, Liu Bei was able to capture Jingzhou so quickly.
"Although Liu Biao is a self-defending thief, he is not a mediocre person, and he can be so easily stolen by Liu Bei?"
Guo Jia's eyes were surprised, and he expressed the same surprise as Cao Cao.
Cao Yuan, who had been silent, sneered at this time: "Liu Bei got the assistance of Wolong, left the burden of benevolence and righteousness, and stole Jingzhou from Liu Biao, what is the fuss." "
"Wolong?"
Cao Cao Guo Jia's expression was shocked, obviously hearing this name for the first time.
"Wolong's name is Zhuge Liang, and he is a disciple of Mr. Shuijing, Sima Hui. "
"This person is clever, has the talent of Wang Zuo, and is a rare genius in the world. "
"Yuan guessed that it was this person's layout and strategy that helped Liu Bei easily steal Jingzhou. "
Cao Yuan's expression was calm, and he explained Zhuge Liang's bottom in detail.
Cao Cao was amazed: "You can get Ziyou so highly evaluated, it seems that this Zhuge Liang is indeed good." "
Guo Jia said: "Liu Bei is a hero, and now he has this Wolong to assist, and he has stolen Jingzhou, which can be called like a fish in water, it seems that after Sikong pacified Hebei, the next step is to attack Jingzhou and destroy Liu Bei." "
"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable. "
Cao Cao thought so, and raised his whip: "Pass the order, tell the soldiers to attack the city with all their might, and pacify Hebei as soon as possible, so that I can conquer Jingzhou one day earlier." "
With such an attitude, he obviously didn't plan to deal with Liu Bei for the time being.
Cao Yuan's eyes looked to the south, his thoughts racing, and his eyes gradually deepened.
Suddenly, a chill flashed in his eyes.
"Sikong, please go south from the south and gallop to help Xu Du!"
Cao Yuan's expression was solemn, and he suddenly asked Cao Cao for orders.
Cao Cao was stunned and said suspiciously: "Ziyou suddenly, why did he want to rush to help Xu Du?"
"With Zhuge Liang's wisdom, it must be seen that once Sikong pacifies Hebei and goes south with the troops of the northern country, Liu Bei will be unable to resist at all with a corner of Jingzhou. "
"It is expected that he will definitely offer a plan to Liu Bei, and take advantage of the Northern Expedition to lead the elite troops to go to Runan to attack Xudu. "
"Sikong wants to pacify Hebei, and he can't withdraw, and only by returning to Xudu in person can he ensure that Xudu is foolproof. "
Cao Yuan explained the reason.
Cao Cao's expression changed, he gasped, and immediately became alert.
Xiahou Yuan said: "Xu Du is the eldest brother in charge, although there are not many soldiers and horses, but if Liu Bei dares to attack, the eldest brother is enough to defend Xu Du, and report to Meng De for help in time, in my opinion, we might as well wait until then, and then send troops to help Xu." "
"What Miaocai said makes sense. "
Cao Cao nodded slightly, slightly relieved.
Cao Yuan said: "If Yuan asks his uncle to only deal with Liu Bei, he will naturally be able to hold Xu Du, but if someone does Liu Bei's internal response, it may not be." "
"Guilty?"
Cao Cao's eyes gathered, and he asked anxiously, "Who is Ziyou referring to?"
"In addition to the Son of Heaven, there is also Dong Cheng's gang of Hanchen, who else can there be. "
Cao Yuan sneered.
Cao Cao's body was shocked, and he suddenly came to his senses, and couldn't help but shudder.
"The military advisor is reasonable, the Son of Heaven has been dissatisfied with Sikong for a long time, if he secretly colludes with Liu Bei and orders Dong Cheng and others to take the opportunity to launch a mutiny, then the inside and the outside should be combined, I am afraid that General Yuan Rang will be really difficult to deal with!"
"Sikong, what the military advisor reminded is that he must immediately return to the division to help Xu Ducai. "
Guo Jia pointed out Cao Cao's worries and immediately persuaded him.
Cao Cao didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately shouted: "Zilong Miaocai listens to the order, you two speed up the red horse and obey, follow Ziyou to return south quickly, and increase the defense of Xu Du!"
"No!"
The second general received the order with great emotion.
Cao Yuan led more than 3,000 Chima righteous followers, immediately crossed the Yellow River, and rushed to Xudu day and night.
...
Two days later.
A beacon fire rose from Dong Cheng's mansion and rushed into the night sky.
The dead soldiers hidden everywhere immediately launched a surprise attack on all the key points in Xudu.
For a while, Xu Du was full of smoke, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it was shrouded in blood mist.
Outside the military division's mansion.
Chong Ji is leading 500 dead soldiers to launch a crazy attack on Cao Yuan's mansion.
As Cao Cao's mastermind, Cao Yuan has long been included in the blacklist of the Son of Heaven and is the one who must be killed.
As soon as Dong Cheng launched the mutiny, he sent Chongji to lead the army to attack the military division's mansion.
Kidnapping Cao Yuan's family as hostages, and threatening Cao Yuan not to assist Cao Cao anymore, this is the intention of the Son of Heaven.
"Boom, boom!"
The soldiers carried wooden cones and frantically slammed into the door of the mansion.
The crossbowmen shot through the courtyard wall and indiscriminately into the house.
Inside the precincts.
Lu Lingqi and Xiahou Juan were commanding seven Yan Yunwei and dozens of family soldiers, guarding the gate.
Mi Zhen, Zhang Chunhua, Xiao Qiao and Gan Mei retreated to the hall with the maids, panicking.
The door of the house has gradually cracked under the bombardment again and again, and it will not be able to support it.
Xiahou Juan ordered the soldiers, moved the wooden stakes, and resisted the gate of the mansion.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow roared from the sky.
Xiahou couldn't dodge it, and was hit with an arrow in his right arm.
She let out an "ah" cry of pain, staggered and sat down.
"Sister!"
Lu Lingqi was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
Xiahou Juan didn't care about the arrow wound, gritted his teeth and said: "You don't have to worry about me, go and refuse the gate of the mansion quickly, and you must not let these traitors attack you!"
The voice did not fall.
"Click!"
There was a loud bang.
The door of the mansion finally couldn't support it, and it was smashed apart.
The soldiers broke up one after another, and the rebels poured in.
He entered the horse and said coldly: "Mrs. Xiahou, the general trend has gone, give up resistance quickly, and arrest it, otherwise I will slaughter you all over the house of women and children!"
"Whew!"
Xiahou Juan stood up and scolded angrily: "Even if I die in battle, I will never fall into your hands, so that you can threaten my husband, you dream!"
"I don't know how to lift!"
Chongji's face sank, and he shouted, "Then kill them all." "
A group of rebels rushed up.
Lu Lingqi drew a halberd, blocked in front of Xiahou Juan, and said sharply: "I am the daughter of Wenhou, who is afraid of longevity, just let the horse come!"
She moved out of Lu Bu's name, and the rebels present suddenly became jealous and did not dare to step forward for a while.
Chongji was furious, drew his sword in his hand, and shouted: "She is a woman, what is there to be afraid of, who dares not to do it, kill!"
Under the threat of death, the rebels once again plucked up their courage and screamed and pounced again.
Lu Lingqi and Xiahou Juan glanced at each other, and the same tragic determination surged in their starry eyes.
The second daughter has made up her mind that she would rather die than succumb to these traitors and become a drag on Cao Yuan.
Five hundred rebels are about to overwhelm them.
The line between life and death.
"Whoever dares to touch my woman, look for death!"
A thunderous shout suddenly sounded outside the palace gate, shaking all the rebels to the point that their scalps were numb.
Hear that familiar voice.
Xiahou Juan and Lu Lingqi looked at each other suddenly, and their pretty faces invariably swelled with ecstasy.
