Chapter 491 Yuzhou

"Hey hey, I naturally understand Cao Cao's little thought. It's just that now is a good time to eliminate Yuan Shu. If we go to war with Cao Cao at this time, Sun Ce and Liu Bei will definitely not work with us to deal with Yuan Shu. At that time, I'm afraid it will affect the big plan to eliminate Yuan Shu. Since Cao Cao wants to fight against Yuan Shu with me, why can't we agree? When Yuan Shu is destroyed, I will naturally have a way to deal with Cao Cao. Lv Bu smiled and said to Chen Gong, and then waved his hand to let the soldiers continue to send orders.

Half a month later, outside Runan City, Yuzhou, the war drums shook the sky, and a row of soldiers lined up in a neat line. Standing outside Runan City, there was no one person standing in front of him, but Cao Cao.

"Cao Cao, you traitor, if it weren't for you, how could my lord be the emperor? How can you become the target of public criticism? I can't believe that you have betrayed your lord now. You really deserve to die. On the Runan Tower, Ji Ling saw Cao Cao and couldn't help cursing.

"Well, Ji Ling, Yuan Shu is just an incompetent person. How can we deserve a large area of land in Yangzhou, Yuzhou? It is inevitable that you will die if you follow Yuan Shu in the end. It's better to surrender early and save your life." Cao Cao just snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

"Cao Cao, if you have the ability, you can lead the troops to attack." At this time, Ji Ling was too lazy to talk to Cao Cao, and a big war is inevitable now.

"Xiahou Dun, it's time to start." Cao Cao was also too lazy to talk nonsense with Ji Ling. The cleverness was Yuan Shu's hardcore subordinate. Cao Cao wanted to recruit Ji Ling, just to take down Runan as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night. At this time, when he saw that Ji Ling had no intention of surrendering, he directly raised troops to attack the city.

Cao's army here has begun to attack the city, but on a hill in the distance, there is a group of people standing, it is Lv Bu and others.

"The Prime Minister, Cao Cao has begun to attack the city. Don't we send troops there?" Seeing that Cao Jun had begun to attack the city, Dian Wei asked anxiously.

"Ha ha, Cao Cao likes to attack the city, so let him attack it well. Just in time, we can save some strength?" Lv Bu smiled faintly and looked at the battlefield under Runan City with great interest and said.

"It seems that the Prime Minister intends to wait until Cao Cao and Ji Ling are both defeated?" Zang Ba also came over at some point and said to Dian Wei with a smile.

"Haha. Zang Ba's idea is not bad. It's also a good choice to take action when they both lose. After listening to Zang Ba's words, Lv Bu nodded and said.

"Does the Prime Minister have any other plans?" Guo Jia, who stood aside and had not spoken, was shocked at this time. He looked at Lv Bu and asked in surprise. In Guo Jia's view, Lv Bu can get the greatest benefit as long as he kills Cao Cao and Ji Ling when they are both defeated. However, according to Lv Bu's words, Lv Bu's original plan was not like this. Guo Jia doesn't understand. Does Lv Bu have any other ideas?

"Actually, I plan to wait until Cao Cao wins this battle." Lv Bu said lightly, "Chen Gong has led others to attack other cities in Yuzhou, and the purpose of bringing you here is to watch Cao Cao. After Chen Gong occupies other cities in Yuzhou, we will take Cao Cao to Yangzhou together to attack Yuan Shu's old nest Shouchun. In this way, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are under my control.

Since he knew that Cao Cao turned the gun and began to respond to the call of the court to attack Yuan Shu, Lv Bu was thinking about how to deal with Cao Cao's plan. It will be very dangerous for people like Cao to continue to grow. Just a few days ago, Lv Bu finally came up with a solution. There, Cao Cao was taken to Shouchun with a large army to attack Yuan Shu, and then after destroying Yuan Shu, Cao Cao was taken to Chang'an. If Liu Bei and Sun Ce could be taken to Chang'an by the way, then Lv Bu's road to unify the world would be much smoother. However, at present, this plan has only just begun. Lv Bu doesn't know whether he has the ability to suppress the three people and wrap them in Chang'an together at that time.

"Well, lord, you said so. Is there no war here?" Zang Ba listened for a while and didn't understand what Lv Bu meant, but Zang Ba understood that he was afraid that there would be no war to fight if he stayed here, so he said with a burst of chagrin, "If I had known this, I would have followed Mr. Chen Gong."

"Ha ha, many soldiers and horses in Yuzhou have been transferred to Yangzhou by Yuan Shu, and most of the rest have been transferred to Runan by Ji Ling. I'm afraid that even if you follow Chen Gong, there will not be many battles to fight." Lv Bu said with a faint smile. When Lv Bu thought about it, Yuzhou was a wheat field waiting for his harvest. As long as he put his flag with a little strength, the land would immediately belong to him.

At the same time, in a remote house in Runan City, a general sat in the main position. This person was none other than Liu Pi, the governor of Runan. Liu Pi followed the yellow scarf uprising in his early years, and tens of thousands of mercenaries. Later, he joined Yuan Shu's account. Originally, Yuan Shu ascended the throne and became emperor. Liu Pi fantasized about being able to be a marquis, but he didn't think of it. The good times did not last long. First, Liu Bei and Sun Ce rose up to threaten Yangzhou. Now Cao Cao's soldiers and horses have hit the city. Seeing that Yuan Shu's power has been greatly damaged, Liu Pi naturally has two hearts. Unexpectedly, after Yuan Shu knew the news of Cao Cao's counterattack, Xingye sent Ji Ling to Runan and took over the military power of Runan, so that even if Liu Pi wanted to surrender, it was difficult.

At the bottom of Liu Pi, there are four or five generals sitting. These generals are Liu Pi's cronies, but they are also cold at this time. Obviously, at this time, the next decision will determine everyone's future, even their lives. At the same time, because of this, people dare not speak easily and are afraid to say What's wrong.

"Guys, now that Cao Cao's soldiers are under the city, you all know the situation in Runan City. Even if Cao Cao can't capture Runan City for a while, as long as Cao sweeps the counties around Runan, Runan City will definitely be the meat in Cao Cao's mouth. Sooner or later, it will be broken by Cao Cao. At this time of survival, we can't sit down. After death, you need to find a way." After a while, Liu Pi glanced at the crowd and said slowly.

"Yuan Shu's general trend is gone, and Ji Ling is willing to die for Yuan Shu, but we really don't have to wait. It's better for us to secretly open the gate and put Cao Cao in. In this way, we will be credit to Cao Cao Cao, and naturally won't treat us badly." Someone said tentatively.

"It's not appropriate. Although Cao Cao is under the city, Cao Cao's strength is not as good as before. How can he protect me? If Lv Bu kills him, won't we be embarrassed to die?" Someone got up against it.

"We can't do nothing. If Runancheng can't stand it and Cao Cao comes in, won't we have nothing?"

"Gentlemen, it seems that everyone wants to avoid this disaster. In this case, let's surrender to Cao Cao first and save this life. What do you think?" After Liu Pi glanced at the crowd, he said.

"Kill me, take down Runan City, and kill the Ji Ling thief." Outside Runan City, Xiahou Dun shouted loudly and constantly encouraged the soldiers to charge over the city.

At this time, in Runan City, a man and horse quietly touched the gate while no one was paying attention.

"Hight, who are you? The city gate is heavy. Don't approach." These people were approaching, but they were stopped by the defenders at the gate. It turned out that the defenders at the gate were people and horses brought by Ji Ling, which did not belong to the same system as the original Yuzhou soldiers and horses. Moreover, after Ji Ling arrived in Yuzhou, he arranged the local soldiers in Yuzhou in front of the battlefield and arranged his own men and horses in the Yuzhou army. Later, they acted as the superintendent team, so the two men and horses were not harmonious and were more wary of each other. At this time, these soldiers and horses defending the city naturally looked suspicious when they saw the arrival of the Yuzhou army in front of them.

"Hey hey, we're here to take you home." Suddenly, a Yuzhou soldier broke up, and with a wave of the sword in his hand, he had cut into the abdomen of a soldier defending the city in front of him. Then a group of Yuzhou soldiers behind him shouted and rushed to the defenders in front of him one by one, but in a short time, these defenders of the city had been killed.

"Boom, boom, boom." The sound of a siege hammer hitting the door came. Many Yuzhou soldiers were pressing their hands on the doorpost behind the gate and tried their best to stop Cao's attack on the gate, but they felt the sound of shouting behind them. Looking back slightly, everyone saw a scene that surprised everyone, and many soldiers had fallen into the pool of blood. In the middle, beside the dead soldiers, a famous Yuzhou soldier's eyes were red, and the sword in his hand kept dripping blood.

"Make way." Suddenly, someone shouted that the soldiers who were still struggling to withstand the gate were all stagnant and left for both sides of the gate.

There was only a loud "boom" sound. The gate could no longer withstand the heavy blow of the siege hammer, and was finally broken by the siege hammer at this time.

As soon as the gate of the city opened, a big man rushed in and shouted to everyone, "Surrender to avoid death." This person is Xiahou Dun.

"I'll surrender." Hearing the sound, everyone quickly threw the weapons in their hands on the ground and then knelt to the ground one after another.

"Enter the city." Seeing everyone kneeling down, Xiahou Dun ignored the crowd and made a move behind him. He took a group of soldiers and horses to kill in the city. This attack, the Marquis of Runanxia won Cao Cao's order. It was not difficult for the surrendering soldiers. Cao Cao must be not strong at this time. These soldiers and horses were the source of strength that Cao Cao relied on to deal with Lv Bu in the future.

"I didn't expect Ji Ling to be so unfeded, and the city was broken by Cao's army so quickly." On the hill outside the city, Dian Wei said with surprise when he saw that Runan City was broken by Cao's army.
