After Lu Yan joined Cao Cao, Cao Cao originally hoped that Lu Yan would continue to lead the 20,000 troops, but Lu Yan said in disgust: "Whoever wants to do the hard work can do it..."
After Boss Cao was ruthlessly rejected by Lu Yan in front of so many people, he could only manage to relieve his embarrassment with a laugh that was worse than crying.
"Haha..." After laughing, Cao Cao approached Lu Yan and whispered in his ear: "Sir, those who are capable should work harder! And you are now the source and guarantee of the army's confidence. If you don't join, wouldn't it affect the morale of the army?"
?”
"It's a simple matter!" Lu Yan would not be fooled by Lao Cao. He thought for a moment and replied: "As long as my flag is raised during the war, I will stand under it again."
Who doesn't know how to be a mascot? Maybe you can also eat melon seeds and watch a good show.
When Cao Cao saw that Lu Yan was now determined to win, he stopped persisting.
But he still had a question, so he asked: "If you can't come, then who can?"
When Lu Yan heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Xiahou Dun without revealing any trace, and said in a voice that only he and Cao Cao could hear: "Why don't you give your brother a chance to redeem himself and make meritorious service?"
"It's okay..." Cao Cao thought about it seriously and thought it was okay, but after a while he felt something was wrong, so he asked: "What if he loses again this time?"
Lu Yan had no expression on his face and replied calmly, "Then just chop it off."
"Uh...this..." Cao Cao definitely couldn't bear to kill his brother.
Faced with the dilemma, Boss Cao was already tangled up in his heart at this moment.
Seeing that Cao Cao's face was about to twist into a ball, Lu Yan finally couldn't hold back and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Cao, we will win this battle!"
Seeing Lu Yan's confidence, Cao Cao was moved and thought to himself: "It seems that we have won a complete victory in this war in history?"
In fact, the Battle of Shouchun was indeed a complete victory for the coalition forces.
But the guards at that time were Li Feng, Chen Ji, Lejiu and Liang Gang. Compared with today's Ji Ling, Qiao Rui, Lei Bo, Han Xian and others, they were still far behind.
After knowing that this battle would be won in the end, Cao Cao felt at ease.
He made up his mind and turned to the direction where the generals were standing in the tent and shouted: "Where is Xiahou Dun?"
Xiahou Dun suddenly heard Cao Cao's roll call, subconsciously walked out, clasped his fists and replied: "The general is here!"
"I order you to take over Lu Yan's military power and continue to command the existing troops."
"Ah!?" Xiahou Dun's eyes suddenly widened as if he heard something incredible.
After several breaths, Xiahou Dun finally came to his senses, and then he waved his hands vigorously and said: "No, no! How can I take over Lu Qiaoqi's military power?"
"Mr. Lu recommended you. He hopes that you will be able to make meritorious deeds. You must not let down his hard work." Cao Cao said to Xiahou Dun in a serious tone, but he added in his heart: "The main reason is that Immortal Lu feels stable. He wants to
I'm lazy..."
Xiahou Dun suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Yan. He was so grateful and moved that he was a little at a loss and began to speak incoherently, "Changsheng... Piao... the last general... the last general..."
It always felt like there were a lot of things he wanted to say, but when the words came to his lips, nothing seemed to come out. Xiahou Dun's face turned red from holding back his emotions for a while.
Seeing this, Lu Yan smiled and came to Xiahou Dun's rescue and encouraged him, "Yuan Rang, believe in yourself, you can do it. Take a deep breath and close your eyes."
After Xiahou Dun heard this, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and his excitement slowly calmed down.
After opening his eyes, Xiahou Dun only had determination in his eyes. He clasped his fists and said loudly to Cao Cao Lu Yan: "General, take your orders! If Shouchun City cannot be conquered, I will come to see you!"
"Fuck! Can you stop coming to see me so easily?" Lu Yan cursed in his heart. After being manipulated by Xiahou Dun, he felt a little nervous in his heart, "Could he have tricked Xiahou Dun? This brother seems to be unlucky.
Well, I haven’t won many battles in history..."
Gan! I wanted to be lazy, but what kind of military order did you say you issued?
Now that's good, in the end we have to help Xiahou Dun figure out how to break the city. We can't really just watch him come to see him with his head raised, right?
However, Cao Cao should just prepare to test Shouchun City's defense tomorrow, so he doesn't need to think too much about it yet.
After that, Lu Yan finally got off work early and returned to his camp.
Little did he know that his actions in the Chinese army's tent today made the generals present respect him even more.
Not only did he personally put out the fire for Xiahou Dun, but in the end he also left the best opportunity for Xiahou Dun to gain military exploits to redeem himself and restore his image in the hearts of Cao Cao and his colleagues. You name a person who is trustworthy and considers everything for his subordinates?
Who wouldn't think of his kindness in their heart?
...
The next day, the army left camp.
Cao's army totaled nearly 40,000 people, and Liu Bei's command also had 20,000. Sun Ce brought an army of 50,000 to the south. They were divided into three directions: south, south, north, and each surrounded a city wall in Shouchun.
There are 110,000 coalition forces, and the mighty Chen soldiers below Shouchun City hear loud shouts from time to time, which can be said to be as powerful as a rainbow; on the other hand, Shouchun City is still silent, and all the soldiers guarding the city seem to be asleep.
.
Lu Yan sat on the white dragon horse, followed by Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan. Huang Zhong personally supported Lu Yan's flag and became the flag bearer.
Wei Yan originally wanted to join in the fun, but the like-minded Boss Cao usurped him to his side.
In Cao Cao's words, Lu Yan has too many strong generals and needs to pull two people over to balance the combat power...
Cao Cao has already settled his anger with Liu Bei and Sun Ce in advance. There is no need to play any tricks today. As soon as the agreed time comes, we can go straight up and start doing it!
After looking at the sky, at three o'clock in the morning, Cao Cao gave the order: "Attack the city!"
"Siege the city!"
“Dong dong dong!!!”
As the war drums sounded in the army, the coalition forces on three sides of Shouchun City began to enter a fighting state.
Although the coalition forces attacked from three sides, the main attack was actually the north gate that Xiahou Dun and Cao Cao were responsible for.
As for Liu Bei in the east and Sun Ce in the south, whether it was because of lack of strength or the intention to retain strength, Cao Cao didn't have much hope for them, as long as they could divert some of Ji Ling's attention.
It was Xiahou Dun who was responsible for commanding the attack on Cao Cao's side, because most of the reinforcements from Yingchuan were ordinary infantry, while most of Cao Cao's men were special units and could not bear to spend them in siege battles...
Neither Cao Cao nor Xiahou Dun thought about taking Shouchun in one go, but it is always good to try their best to test out the enemy's true strength before launching a real large-scale attack.
"Trebuchet, shoot!"
"Archer, shoot the arrow!!"
Xiahou Dun kept issuing orders, and from the current point of view, his performance was quite stable.
It can be said that he worked extremely hard. If it weren't for the fact that he had to command the army, Xiahou Dun would have wanted to go up and attack with his gun.
