"Uncle, a large number of enemy troops are coming from the west!" Cao Zhang rushed in from Chao Ge, Yamen Office, and said sadly to Cao Ren.
Cao Ren nodded silently. The arrival of the army besieging Li Yang also meant that Li Yang had been defeated, and Xia Houyuan and the others were bound to be in trouble.
"The thieves are fierce, and as Ziwen said, the enemy will definitely use Han Qiong to persuade the generals to surrender to the city..." Cao Hong sat next to Cao Ren, looked at Cao Ren and said: "Zixiao, this battle is not easy to fight!"
Not only is it difficult to fight, but judging from the current situation and the combat power displayed by Chu Nan's army, it is almost a sure defeat.
Not to mention Han Qiong's appearance, even without Han Qiong and the main force of the enemy army surrounding them, the officers and soldiers in the city can guess what is going on. Morale, military morale, and people's morale will probably be lost overnight. They are not as good as others. If the people's morale is lost, it will be gone.
With the green energy protecting the city, the fall of Chaoge is almost a foreseeable future.
"Zhongda?" Cao Ren looked at Sima Yi who was silent.
Sima Yi sighed and said: "I have no way to win."
At this point, facing this situation, it is useless for anyone to come, and the same result will be achieved by replacing Chu Nan here.
"Ziwen, Zidan." Cao Ren looked at Cao Zhen and Cao Zhang who were sitting down.
"What are your orders, uncle!?" The two men stood up quickly and asked.
"While the enemy troops have not yet encircled you, you two lead some of your guards to break out and join Zihuan." Cao Ren looked at the two of them and said, "Don't think about revenge, stay alive and pass on the blood of my Cao family."
Chu Nan's situation has become overwhelming. Even people like Cao Ren still feel an indescribable sense of oppression and suffocation when facing Chu Nan. It is obviously even more impossible to hand this burden to Cao Pi and others.
"Uncle, I won't leave!" Cao Zhang stood up and said angrily, why is Xia Houyuan like this and Cao Ren is like this: "Then Chu Nan may not be able to win, so why does uncle have to... arrange these things in advance before the war starts?
?”
After all, he did not say anything about his funeral, but said angrily: "The enemy is facing us, but we just want to leave a way out, so we lose our energy. How can we win?"
"The most important thing for a family is inheritance. Ziwen, don't show off your bravery for a moment. Go ahead." Cao Ren sighed. He also wanted to fight, but in the current situation, he couldn't even see a chance. How?
Fight?
"Obey!" Cao Hong reached out and rubbed Cao Zhang's head and said, "For the family, the most important thing is to have a trace of blood left."
"Then why doesn't uncle come with us?" Cao Zhen asked puzzledly.
"We can't leave. If we all leave, not to mention that Chu Nan will continue to pursue him, and Yu Jin and the others will not sit back and watch. Hurry, let's go before Chu Nan arrives." After Cao Ren finished speaking, he looked at Sima Yi: "Zhong
Da.”
"General." Sima Yi saluted Cao Ren.
"In the past six months, thanks to Zhongda's help, we have been able to defend Chaoge. However, we are now in a desperate situation. Our Cao family has a blood feud with Chu Nan. Chu Nan will not let us go. But sir, unlike Ziwen and the others,
Let's go together. As for what happens in the future, it all depends on your luck." After Cao Ren finished speaking, he saluted Sima Yi and said, "Goodbye."
Sima Yi sighed, the Cao family and Chu Nan had a blood feud, so how could his Sima family be the same? Yecheng was destroyed, and although there was no news, judging from Chu Nan's attitude towards him, the Sima family probably would not end well.
However, Sima Yi really wasn't prepared to fight Chu Nan here. He knew that he couldn't do anything, so it was better to lie dormant and look for good opportunities.
"Thank you, general!" Sima Yi saluted Cao Ren: "General, take care of me."
"Cherish it!" Cao Ren nodded.
Sima Yi stood up and said to Cao Zhang and Cao Zhen: "Since the two young masters have a bloody feud, they should not talk about death easily! Since we are fighting side by side, Yi still hopes that the two young masters can give up their temporary joy and anger and follow me.
Leaving together, only when people are alive can they have hope. No matter how heroic the death is, it will ultimately fulfill the other person's needs, and it is not something a wise person would do!"
"Uncle, take care!" Cao Zhang, with red eyes, knelt down to Cao Ren, kowtowed hard, and then stood up.
"Well." Cao Ren looked at Cao Zhang dotingly: "In the future, if my uncle is away, the Cao family will rely on you. When things happen, listen to Zihuan and don't act impulsively. Our Cao family... no longer has the qualifications to be impulsive.
.”
In the past, the Cao family was so powerful that Cao Cao and the others could take care of the misdeeds of the younger generations. But with the deaths of Cao Cao and the older generation of Cao family members, the Cao family relied on these younger generations to support them, and no one could protect them anymore.
If the wind and rain come out, you have to solve it yourself.
"Yes." Cao Zhang agreed, and together with Cao Zhen, he took Sima Yi out of the city. After repelling a wave of ambush troops, he escaped into the mountains and rushed towards Handan.
As for whether to help Yuan Shao or go elsewhere, you have to ask Cao Pi. Cao Zhang doesn't want to think about anything right now. He just wants to kill happily and vent his anger.
After everyone left, Cao Ren looked at Cao Hong and said: "Tomorrow I will take Wen Qian and Niu Jin out to defend the city. The eight-door golden lock formation has been practiced. Although the chance is not great, it is better than sticking to the city. We cannot let them have a chance.
If you shout a message to the city, morale will completely collapse."
For more than half a year, he did not exchange offense and defense with Zhang Liao like Xia Houyuan, but only defended without attacking, in order to practice the eight-door golden lock formation. He originally wanted to use this formation to counterattack and defeat Yu Jin, and then joined forces with Xia Houyuan
Defeated Zhang Liao, and finally, together with Yuan Shao, attacked Chu Nan from the north and the south and completely strangled him.
It's a pity that Yuan Shao was useless and was defeated one after another. When Cao Ren completed the eight-door golden lock formation, the situation was over. Now the eight-door golden lock formation can only be used to delay time and fight Chu Nan.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, Na Yu forbidden attack won't come in!"
On the other side, Chu Nan led Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Huang Zhong, Han Qiong, Zhang He, Ji Ling and an army of 80,000 to march straight towards Chaoge.
In the past, only Yu Jin's troops had similar strength to the opponent, and the opponent had the green energy to protect the city, so it was difficult to break the city. But now, Chu Nan has gathered all the elites he sent for this battle to Chaoge, a total of 120,000 troops.
It is also a matter of time before we can encircle and defeat Chaoge.
"After Chaoge, you can go north to join your father-in-law and teacher in Handan. Yuan Shao will never be able to return to heaven." Chu Nan looked at Chaoge and walked towards the city, and smiled at Zhang Liao and others beside him.

Youzhou has been merged with the state, and now three counties in Jizhou have been captured by him. It is difficult for Yuan Shao to recruit troops. When the army is encircled, he may not be able to recruit many troops.
"The general trend is, there is no suspense in this battle!" Zhang Liao smiled and nodded, with some emotion. Winter is coming soon. If this war can be ended before the new year, they can all go home and reunite with their families.
Have a good year.
"Don't be careless. Usually when something goes wrong, it's always a sure thing. The more you do it now, the more cautious you should be." Chu Nan shook his head. The more drifting a person is, the easier it is for him to capsize in the gutter. He has done so before.
With this kind of experience, he had to stay calm at this moment. Although he felt that the situation was determined at the moment, he still tried to force himself to stay calm and objective and analyze the possible counterattacks of the other party.
"Report~"
At this moment, a messenger rushed over and stopped three feet away from Chu Nan. Zhou Cang quickly stepped forward and stopped in front of Chu Nan.
"What's the matter?" Chu Nan asked.
"Lord, urgent report from Xuchang!" The messenger held up a roll of white silk in both hands.
"Xuchang?" Chu Nan's heart moved and he motioned to Zhou Cang to bring the white silk.
Zhou Cang stepped forward, took the white silk, signaled the messenger to follow the team, and handed the white silk to Chu Nan.
Chu Nan unfolded the white silk, and his eyes quickly passed over the white silk. On the white silk, there was a detailed record of the Xuchang Rebellion. When he saw what happened to Xun Yu, Chu Nan couldn't help but sigh. He knew that he and
The ideas advocated by Xun Yu were completely opposite, so after taking control of Xuchang, he didn't have much control over him.
In my heart, I still want to conquer this person.
Unfortunately, the ideas advocated by the two sides are completely different, and their positions are also naturally opposed. Unless one party surrenders, it is a pity that Xun may not defect to him after seeing the general trend as Chu Nan expected, but choose to implement his ideas to the end, even if he pays
all.
Pity!
Chu Nan sighed with regret, there was no way to say whether these things were right or wrong.
As for the other people in the letter, Chu Nan didn't care much. Even if all the officials from the Ministry of Revenue were imprisoned, Chu Nan didn't care much. It was just... that it looked like a rebellion in the Ministry of Revenue, which made Chu Nan feel quite weird.
After this battle, the household department can be reorganized. Although the newcomers can rest assured, without a goal, they may not be as proactive as the princes who convinced them. This makes Chu Nan somewhat regretful.
Sometimes spies whose identities are discovered are the most useful. Except for being unreliable at critical times, at other times you can safely leave the matter to them and exploit them with peace of mind without feeling any moral guilt.
"My Lord, has something changed in Xuchang?" Zhang Liao asked worriedly.
"There have been changes, but don't worry, Boning and the others have put down the rebellion, Lingqi has taken action!" Chu Nan said with a smile.
Under Chu Nan's support, Lu Lingqi has become a top warrior. Coupled with the equipment that even Lu Bu would be jealous of, Lu Lingqi's combat power is probably unmatched by anyone except Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun.
exist.
Zhang Liao was relieved after hearing this. Lu Lingqi, his niece, was still very reliable.
"After returning from this battle, some things will change." Chu Nan said with emotion.
After this war, Dading in the north, after the Xuchang Incident, many official positions in the court were vacant. It just so happened that after these years of experience, the talents first cultivated by Chu Nan had sufficient governance capabilities and could join the court to handle things.
A group of officials can take office immediately, and the influence of the Han Dynasty will be hit again with the failure of this coup.
The positions of Sangong... can also be taken into your own hands.
"Report~"
While everyone was communicating, a scout rushed over and saluted Chu Nan: "My lord, Chaoge's army has come out of the city to form an array, blocking the front of our army."
"Oh?" Chu Nan was a little surprised when he heard this. He dared to go out of the city to fight at this time?
