Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 646
Early the next morning, the news of Cao Pi's army's withdrawal was blocked, and there was no movement in the barracks. Usually, no one dared to walk around at will, but now because of the blockade, there were even fewer people, and there was no one in the palace. It is also quiet, but in fact, the palace is in great chaos now. The palace ladies and eunuchs and court officials who were left behind found that the emperor, the king of Donghai, and the important officials of the court were all gone, and they were all in chaos. Two hundred elite soldiers were deployed there to guard, and discipline was quickly cleared up by bloody massacres. All personnel who entered the palace were not allowed to go out. As for daily food needs, the sergeants sent people to the palace. .

In this way, the entire Xiapi City is in order, and it looks the same as before.

In order to confuse Zhao Yun's army outside the city, Cao Ren still led the army to patrol the city defense, and seemed more active than before.

However, after only one day, Zhao Yun felt something was wrong, because the sergeant guarding the city looked very tired, which was something he had never experienced before.

"It's fair to say that I haven't launched an offensive in the past few days, and the soldiers guarding the city work in two shifts day and night. They shouldn't be so tired, but now the soldiers on the top of the city look extremely tired, and some even stand still. I can fall asleep, why does this thing look so weird?"

Zhao Yun's eyes were full of surprise. He thought about it for a while, and finally came to a conclusion that he couldn't believe, that is, Cao Pi's army may have withdrawn, and this Xiapi city is almost empty now, and Cao Ren The reason why he is still here is just to confuse himself.

This conclusion is really shocking, but if you think about it carefully, it is not unreasonable to do so. If you are Cao Pi, the current Xiapi City is besieged by [-] troops under his command. The army will increase to [-]. If you want to hold on without reinforcements, it is tantamount to nonsense. In this case, why is it necessary to hold on?Why not flee decisively?
But even so, Zhao Yun had to find enough evidence, which was a must for him who was always cautious.

As for the evidence, Zhao Yun is actually easy to find. He only needs to lead an army to launch a full-scale attack, and he can immediately see through the truth. The credit can be robbed, I can kill Cao Ren, seize Xiapi City by force, appease the people in the city, receive the palace and surrendered soldiers, and if I forcibly attack the city, if Cao Pi does not withdraw, then my attack will immediately Encountering tenacious resistance will not only cause losses to his subordinates, but also lower morale, and if Cao Pi really retreats, it will also alarm Cao Ren, so that Cao Ren can prepare in advance and take the opportunity to escape. Cao Ren's great achievements are gone.

Although siege cannot be used as a test, Zhao Yun has his own method.

He first looked towards the top of the city on a high hill outside the east gate of the city before dark, and found an enemy soldier with green spots on his face. This soldier was impressive because of his special face.

However, early the next morning, he saw the soldier again on the high hill outside the south gate of the city.

If it is really a normal city patrol, the guard must be changed. Since the soldier defended the city last night, he should have gone to rest this morning, but he was only transferred to the south gate, which shows that the enemy's strength is seriously insufficient. , can only patrol the city day and night in rotation.

This obviously shows that the main force in the city has withdrawn, and only Cao Ren is left bluffing!

"I didn't expect that Cao Pi would retreat like this. I thought he would be able to hold on for a while." Zhao Yun shook his head and said softly: "It seems that there must be a change in the Wa Kingdom, and Cao Pi cut off The thought of waiting for Sima Yi's reinforcements, the poor Governor Zhou is already ready to face the battle on the sea, and now I can only wait for a while. But this made me gain a great achievement in vain."

Looking at Cao Ren on the city wall from a distance, Zhao Yun seemed to see a fat sheep, and his heart was filled with endless joy.

Originally, although Zhao Yun was happy with Qu Yi's powerful attack power and superb wisdom, he couldn't help feeling a little jealous in his heart. Seeing that his great achievements were about to be taken away by the other party, even though he was anxious in his heart, he couldn't do anything about it. You must have full confidence before breaking the city. Although Zhao Yun is good at night battles, siege is not the director. He can only wait for Qu Yi to arrive before thinking about the siege.

However, now that the main force of the enemy army has all withdrawn, it is estimated that there will be no one in ten defenders in the city. This is definitely good news for Zhao Yun. He can capture and kill Cao Ren first, and make a great contribution.

"This is a god-given opportunity. I can't waste such an opportunity. If Qu Yi surrenders the great achievements of the Eastern Expedition this time, not to mention me, even the soldiers will never agree."

At this time, Zhao Chuang, the general who was beside Zhao Yun, stepped forward and said to Zhao Yun, "General, you are always looking at the scenery like this, and the soldiers are already deeply dissatisfied."

"Oh? Why are you dissatisfied?"

"What else could it be? Naturally, our army has not made great achievements until now. According to the spies, General Qu Yi has already defeated Langya and recruited Le Jin. This kind of great achievement has made the brothers envious, and at the same time, it has intensified In order to express their dissatisfaction with the general, everyone secretly found the last general, saying that even without General Quyi, we could still capture Xiapi City. Therefore, the generals called for battle one after another, and the last general could not be restrained. According to the general, The general sentiment is hard to disobey, the general might as well obey everyone's ideas and fight vigorously with the bandits, I believe this time we will be able to capture Xiapi City and decapitate Cao Pi."

"Hehe, is that what you mean?" Zhao Yun glanced at Zhao Chuang and said with a faint smile.

"Hey, I was seen through by you, General. The last general did have such intentions. To be honest, seeing the meritorious service of the soldiers under General Qu's command, the last general is also a little jealous." Zhao Chuang scratched his head, embarrassed laughed.

"In that case, I'll give you a chance. Go back and pass on my order to immediately assemble the team and prepare to attack the city." Zhao Yun looked at Zhao Chuang and smiled lightly.

"Ah? What? General, you are not joking, are you?" Zhao Chuang was puzzled when he heard this. His general, who has always been determined, would change his mind and order to attack the city because of his few words?
"I'm not kidding, I would have received exact information. Although Xiapi City looks the same now, most of the main force has actually been withdrawn. We need to break through the city immediately, and then lead the army to hunt down, if not , the credit for getting it is gone." Zhao Yun looked at the top of the city and said with a serious face.

"Unexpectedly, it's true? It's really great. The last general will pass the order." Zhao Chuang was surprised, and immediately went to the camp to pass the order.
