In the study room of Shangshu Ling's residence.\%_%_网_Original_Creation%_%\
The lights were bright, Shangshu Ling Xun Yu was kneeling at the top, and a close retainer below was reporting the casualties of Cao's army.
"It seems that Xiahou Dun was hit hard." After hearing this, Xun Yu said with a smile on his face.
"It should be a big blow. If Cao Cao didn't think he could return to the city quickly, he probably wouldn't have the confidence to hold on for long." The retainer also said with a smile.[
"Unfortunately, unless Xu's capital city is destroyed or someone else gets the news to Cao Cao, Cao Cao will not come back in a short time." Xun Yu also said with a smile after hearing this.
"My lord is wise."
The retainer praised.
"It's not that I'm wise, it's just that my power is convenient. It's not a way to get on the stage." Xun Yu laughed at himself after hearing this.
After a pause, Xun Yu asked again: "How are the old officials of the Han Dynasty doing now?"
Some time ago, the emperor burned down the Weiyang Palace and was placed under house arrest. The old officials of the Han Dynasty broke out and led their slaves to attack Xiahou Dun. In order to prevent the ministers from rebelling, the Cao army guard sent by Xiahou Dun failed.
"Those are domestic slaves after all, not soldiers. After the attack failed, no one dared to risk their lives even under the heavy reward. Now it has stopped."
The retainer shook his head and sighed.
"It's expected. If Cao's army was so weak, we would have risen long ago. Why wait until the crown prince is planning outside? In the city, Cao's army still has absolute control. However, as time goes by, this control will
It is getting weaker and weaker. I believe that those veterans will also realize this problem. As long as Cao Jun is weak to a certain point, I will try to deal with it. Let them join the emperor to create momentum and drive away Xiahou Dun. "
Xun Yu sighed first, and then said excitedly.
"The Han Dynasty can be expected." Finally, Xun Yu said happily.
"My lord is wise," the retainer said sincerely.
"If you were really wise, you wouldn't have to waste half your life." Xun Yu shook his head again and sighed. Then he said seriously: "We have reduced our activities recently, so we don't want to expose our flaws."
"Promise." The retainer promised.
Immediately, Xun Yu gave a few more instructions to his retainers and sent them away.
"Xiahou Dun, you can't defend Xu Du. The crown prince's power has already been formed. A desperate struggle will only increase casualties."
Xun Yu stood up, faced south, and murmured.
………………
"Dong dong dong."[
It's another early morning, and the war drums are thundering again.
Sergeant Cao's soldiers looked numbly at the front of Lu Su's camp. Lu Su's army once again set up their formation and launched an attack.
This is already the tenth day.
Some soldiers didn't understand why the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao took more than a year, with both sides attacking and defending.
However, Lu Su's attack lasted only ten days, and the city of Xudu was already crumbling.
Is this the difference between Lu Su, a hero from the south, and Yuan Shaona from the north?
Shaky, yes. As Lu Su attacked the city for ten days, the casualties of Cao's army began to increase sharply. Especially since Lu Su had a large number of troops, the longer the war continued, the lower and lower Lu Su's casualties were.
Cao's army's casualties were increasing.
In the battle between the two sides, the casualty ratio began to change drastically. Basically, for every three Lu Su soldiers who died, two Cao soldiers were taken away.
With this change, Cao's army in the city began to decrease sharply.
