"Chen Gong ran away?" Cao Pi came to the main hall after breakfast. He was a little surprised when he heard Xun Yu's words. After all, Chen Gong still controlled a lot of armed forces in Juancheng.

"He should have received news of Cao Zihe's return," Cheng Yu said thoughtfully.

"Chen Gongtai is ruthless and decisive in his work. Last night, when Shi A failed in his assassination, he decisively gave up on Juancheng. He is really a difficult opponent to deal with." Zao Zhi frowned and said.

"Zhang Miao and Lu Bu have joined forces to rebel. Most of the western part of Yanzhou has fallen into their hands. We must defend Juancheng and wait for the envoy to return. The geographical locations of Dong'a County and Fan County are very important.

We have to defend the place." Xun Yu thought for a moment and made strategic arrangements.

"I am from Dong'a County, and I will guard Dong'a." Cheng Yu volunteered.

"Then Bo Xiao will go to Fan County first to stabilize the situation. That is the only way for General Xiahou to return for reinforcements. No matter what happens in Juancheng, we must wait until General Xiahou arrives before making a decision." Xun Yu told Zao Zhi.<

/p>

"I understand, I will leave for Fan County now." After accepting the order, Zao Zhi left Cao Mansion with some troops.

"Chen Gong must have gone to Dongwuyang County. Dongwuyang County is very close to Dong'e County. Zhongde must act with caution." Xun Yu continued to warn Cheng Yu after watching Zao Zhi leave.

"Wen Ruo, don't worry. I have known Chen Gong for so many years. I know very well what kind of person he is. I will not attack rashly." Cheng Yu said his goodbyes and left, leaving the huge Cao Mansion.

Only Xun Yu, Cao Shuo and Cao Pi were left in the main hall.

"How is the old lady's health?" Xun Yu asked with concern.

"Weng Weng is resting in the backyard, and Uncle Ji has been accompanying him." Cao Shuo replied respectfully. Cao Song's old illness has broken out in the past few days, and all affairs in Juancheng are supported by Xun Yu, except Juan.

Xun Yu was personally responsible for the city's personnel and military affairs, as well as appeasing Cao Cao's family.

"That's good." Xun Yu nodded and said nothing. There are too many things to do recently.

"Zihuan, why isn't Zidan with you?" Cao Shuo asked.

"He went with Mr. Shi A to annihilate Chen *** in the city." Cao Pi replied helplessly.

Chen Gong fled in a hurry. There were many retainers in Juancheng who rebelled against the party and did not have time to escape with Chen Gong. These people committed heinous crimes. They robbed people and raped good women during the civil war in Juancheng. Naturally, Xun Yu would not forget to deal with these pests.

.

Xun Yu asked Shi A to lead a group of righteous rangers. They patrolled the streets and alleys of Juancheng to maintain stability and clean up the rebellious remnants. Xun Yu understood that the rangers were not easy to control. If he used military orders to restrict them, it would be counterproductive. Xun Yu's arrangement was considered

Make full use of the power in your hands.

"Where is Ziwen?" Cao Shuo knew that Cao Zhang was naughty, so he naturally wanted Cao Zhang to stay safely in his house during such an emergency.

"He is accompanying my mother. Don't worry, second brother. Wen has been very well-behaved these days." Cao Pi said with a smile.

Cao Zhang seems to have become a different person since the black-clothed warriors broke into the house. He just quietly stays by Bian's side every day, and whenever he has free time, he will practice boxing, kicking and sword kung fu in the yard.

Cao Shuo was not too surprised by Cao Zhang's changes. Recent events have made the Cao family brothers grow up a lot.

Taking Cao Pi as an example, killing people, deploying troops, and participating in wars at the age of eight are unimaginable for anyone.

Cao Pi said goodbye to Xun Yu and returned to the backyard. Too many things happened during this period. Cao Pi wanted to spend some time with Bian while the situation was still stable.

Cao Pi came to Bian's courtyard. Cao Zhang was lying on the ground doing push-ups, once, twice...Cao Zhang gritted his teeth and persisted. Cao Pi did not disturb Cao Zhang until Cao Zhang's trembling arms could no longer support him.

Young body.

"Ziwen, what's happened to you recently?" Cao Pi asked with concern.

"Brother, do you still remember the nurse who stood in front of you that day?" Cao Zhang asked seriously.

"Of course I remember him. I will never forget him. I will definitely kill those son-of-a-bitch nobles with my own hands to avenge him." Cao Pi said bitterly.

"That person is Uncle Zhao, his name is Zhao Yu, and he is my best friend." Cao Zhang said sadly.

Cao Pi was stunned when he heard this. He hugged Cao Zhang tightly and cried bitterly: "Let's practice martial arts together and avenge Uncle Zhao together!"

Cao Zhang wiped his tears and snot with his sleeves, nodded heavily, and the two brothers sat on the steps outside the door together. Cao Zhang told Cao Pi everything he knew about Zhao Yu, and Cao Pi listened quietly.

, just like Cao Zhang before, Bian was wiping away tears in the room and listening, while Cao Zhi was quietly lying on the window edge and listening...

Cao Pi found someone to deliver Zhao Yu's broad sword to Cao Zhang. When Cao Zhang took the broad sword, he was no longer as happy as before. He used to care about these sharp weapons...

War is cruel, but sentimentality cannot slow down time.

The large banner with the word "Lü" that appeared outside Juancheng once again strained Cao Pi's slightly relaxed nerves. Cao Pi followed Xun Yu to the top of the city tower, where the mighty Lu Bu army was slowly advancing towards the city.

"Sir, these people outside the city are all from Bingzhou. These people should be Lu Bu's main force." Geng Liang, a veteran oil man, looked at the uniforms of the soldiers outside the city and made his own judgment.

"Mr. Wen Ruo, what should we do now?" Cao Pi asked, looking at the well-equipped Bingzhou Army.

"There is no other way to defend." Xun Yu responded to Cao Pi in six short words. He turned to Geng Liang and asked, "How many troops can be deployed in the city now?"

"Including Mr. Shi's team of rangers, we can probably make up three thousand people." Geng Liang quickly replied. He is now one of the few people in Juancheng who can lead troops to fight. Xun Yu has recently transferred a large number of military affairs

Leave it all to Geng Liang.

Xun Yu nodded and said nothing, his eyes fixed on Lu Bu's army below the city.

"People in the city, listen up. I am Cheng Lian, the general under Marquis Wen. Now open the city gate quickly and I will spare your life!" Cheng Lian shouted loudly towards Juancheng.

"I don't care whether you are a Wen Hou or a scalding dog. Before Mr. Xun is angry, take your men and get out of here." Geng Liang imitated Cao Pi's words and cursed.

Xun Yu frowned when he heard Geng Liang's mouthful of fragrance. He didn't like such a vulgar response. At the same time, his understanding of Cao Pi was refreshed again.

Cheng Lian was furious, and he ordered his men to immediately start attacking the city. Cao Pi on the city felt relieved when he saw Cheng Lian's posture.

"Mr. Wen Ruo, Cheng Lian rushed to attack without first besieging the city. He should be a reckless and aggressive person." Cao Pi said.

"It's best. Young Master, you should go back first. Just leave this place to me and Geng Sima." Xun Yu nodded. Although his ability to command on the battlefield is not outstanding, it is just not outstanding...

"Don't worry, sir, I can help. I can't ignore them when they attack my homeland." Cao Pi shook his head and rejected Xun Yu's request.

The Bingzhou army outside the city built a ladder, and every Bingzhou soldier struggled to climb up like a hungry wolf. Cao's army on the city kept throwing stones at the bottom of the city. These stones were prepared by Xun Yu a long time ago.<

/p>

The Bingzhou Army was hit by falling rocks, with blood flowing out and brains flying. Many soldiers fell from ladders and fell to their death under the city wall. More soldiers were injured by the falls of their companions. The soldiers who were hit were either dead or seriously injured, and they lost their combat effectiveness in an instant.

.

"Fire arrows!" Xun Yu gave the order, and the bows and arrows from the tower fell like raindrops on the heads of the Bingzhou army.

Many Bingzhou soldiers were shot into hedgehogs before they even touched the ladder. The Bingzhou soldiers who were lucky enough to climb up the city wall also died under the intensive swords. Their bodies also became fallen rocks in the hands of the defenders, one and two.

The ground fell on the Bingzhou soldiers who continued to attack the city.

After Cheng Lian calmed down, he ordered a postponement of the attack. Before his mount could turn around, a flying arrow killed him. Cheng Lian himself also fell into the mud, looking very embarrassed.

"General, are you okay?" The person who spoke was Xu Si, an old acquaintance of Shi'a. It turned out that Shi'a's flying knife did not kill Xu Si that day. After a few days of training, Xu Si was recommended by Chen Gong.

Lu Bu, Lu Bu sent him to assist Cheng Lian in attacking Juancheng.

Xu Bang is a native of Juancheng. He worked hard to achieve great achievements. He only wanted to catch the assassin who left scars on him that day and avenge his friend Wang Kai.

"No problem, let's set up camp outside the city first. I don't believe these people can last two days under the attack of our Bingzhou cavalry." Cheng Lian patted the dirt on his body and snorted coldly.

Xu Si was also full of confidence in the combat effectiveness of Bingzhou soldiers. He knew Cao Cao's soldiers. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, Bingzhou soldiers were indeed much stronger than Cao Cao's soldiers, because Bingzhou was a borderland of the Han Dynasty, and many soldiers had grown up fighting with foreigners.

In the battle, he developed good martial arts skills.

"My lord, Xun Sima, they have retreated." Geng Liang said as he looked at the Bingzhou Army retreating outside the city.

"Divide three thousand people into two teams and alternate defenses day and night. If there is any movement outside the city, come to me." Xun Yu knew that today's confrontation had just begun. Cheng Lian would never give up and he had to do a good job.

The preparation is.

"Wei." Geng Liang quickly arranged the city defense. Cao Pi had nothing to do, so he left with Xun Yu.

"Young master, you should stop saying those vulgar words in the future, and there is no need to compromise your identity like this when you are a general." Xun Yu said calmly.

"Thank you for your advice, sir. I will correct it in the future." Cao Pi's face was hot. He had been spending a lot of time with Geng Liang recently, and unknowingly he started to become dirty.
