"Quickly, order all the soldiers to prepare to meet the enemy." Cao Jun is only a thousand steps away from the city, and the moat has been filled right now, and it takes only a blink of an eye from assembly to siege.Now under the dark night, the visibility is reduced, so we have to be careful.

It's a pity that Cai Mao really overestimated the military quality of these soldiers.Faced with the temptation of food, these soldiers sat on the ground one by one and refused to get up.

"Hurry up and get ready to meet the enemy!" Cai Mao drew out his sword and pointed at the disobedient soldiers in front of him.

"Damn, I'm starving to death, and you still let us meet the enemy. Even if I lose my head today, I still have to be a hungry ghost." Most of the Jingzhou army in Wancheng are recruits. So the purpose of joining the army is also very simple, just to fill the stomach.

"That's right, we've all been hungry all day, you have to let us have a meal!"

"These officials are full, and they don't care about our lives."

"That's right!"

There was a leader in the crowd, and the soldiers who were still afraid at the back suddenly became more courageous, and they all lay on the ground and refused to get up.

"Rebellion, you are going to rebel!" Cai Mao was furious, and shouted loudly behind him.

"Where's the law enforcement team?"

"exist!"

"Execute all the soldiers who disobey the command, and leave no one behind." Cai Mao gave the death order, and many soldiers were still afraid, and took up weapons and returned to their posts.

But there are still some people who are not afraid of death, and it is certain that Cai Mao will not kill anyone, so they squat next to the pot with a bowl and wait for food.

"kill!"

With an order, the weapons of the law enforcement team directly and quickly slashed at the soldiers, and blood splashed on the city immediately.Some daring ones fought directly with the law enforcement team, but unfortunately the law enforcement team had a large number of people, and the resistance only lasted for a while before being completely suppressed.

Chapter 118

Under the city wall, Cao Jun was attacked by crossbows and crossbows from the Jingzhou Army. The siege stopped again, and the brigade retreated quickly. Judging from the posture, this was another tentative attack.

It took only a cup of tea from the killing by the law enforcement team to Cao Jun's retreat, but in this cup of tea time, hundreds of brothers were killed on the spot. Although they won, the faces of Jingzhou soldiers were full of doubts.

Is such a chilling army really worthy of their allegiance?

After a few days of exhaustion tactics, the enemy army in Wancheng was on the verge of collapse.Opposition to Cai Mao became more and more powerful. Every time there was a battle, there were more and more soldiers and generals who opposed Cai Mao. The soldiers of the law enforcement team died and changed again. Unfortunately, this cruel reality still could not be changed.

Of the tens of thousands of troops in Wancheng, Cai Mao is probably the [-] old troops brought out from Xiangyang who are actually in the hands of Cai Mao. The rest of the troops are all in the hands of the generals and lieutenants of various factions.

The enemy army was pressing down on the border. Instead of forming a group and retreating the enemy army together, Wancheng entered into the turmoil of the separatists.

In such a situation, not to mention Liu Biao, even if Wenpin came out in person, it would be difficult to control.

In the northern camp, Zhang Xian and Zhang Xiu's former troops gathered together.Seeing that Wancheng's defeat was imminent, everyone had their own ulterior motives, and Zhang Xian was no exception.

"Are all the people under your respective command in good spirits?"

"Don't worry, general, everything has been arranged."

"General, how can Cai Mao have time to take care of us every day now, and the brothers below are also eager to find their own way out, how can they leak the news."

Zhang Xian nodded, took out a bamboo slip from his pocket and handed it to everyone: "My lord sent someone to send a letter to the city, everyone may wish to have a look."

"My lord, is my lord okay?" Several captains were also extremely surprised.

"The lord was ambushed by Cao's army in Jiyang, and suffered heavy losses. He surrendered to Cao's army in desperation. Now write a letter and ask me to go together."

"General, Cao Cao and the lord have a deep hatred. In the previous battle, we wiped out more than [-] people in Cao's army. It's so easy to talk, there is no deceit in it!"

Speaking of this, the faces of several people are also full of hesitation.

The old saying often says that you don't kill the soldiers, but there are not a few who actually kill them. They don't have the guts to take a gamble.

"General, why don't we vote for Hebei!"

Hebei?

Zhang Xian's eyes lit up.The strongest prince in the world today is definitely Yuan Shao of Hebei.Da Sima Yuan, who occupies the three prefectures of Jiqing and Bingzhou, is definitely the most powerful listed company. Especially, now that Gongsun Zan, the No. [-] company in Youzhou, is about to be stationed, following him is definitely a promising company.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xian made a decision directly, led the troops of the headquarters, rushed northward, crossed the Yellow River to Bingzhou.

In Xuchang City, Cao Cao was in an extremely bad mood.

After finally appeasing the soldiers below, and distributing the pensions of the [-] soldiers who died in battle, Lu Bu in Xuzhou began to move around again.

Cao Cao, who has a small land and few people, really envies Yuan Shao. If he had the extremely rich Jizhou land, how could he let the little Zhang Xiu Lu Bu and others be arrogant now.

At this moment, outside the door, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu walked in quickly, and both of them were ordered by Cao Cao to discuss matters.

"Lord."

Cao Cao waved his hand, signaling them to sit down.

"Is Feng Xiao's health okay?"

"There is no serious problem for the time being. The doctor suggested that Feng Xiao should stay in bed for the time being."

Cao Cao sighed secretly. Although Feng Xiao was young, Cao Cao entrusted him with important responsibilities.On the way to retreat in Wancheng, he suddenly caught wind and cold, and fell ill for half a month, but he didn't recover.

"It's fine, is there any battle report in Wancheng?"

"Not yet today. The eldest son came to report the day before yesterday. Zhang Xiu has surrendered. Now the brigade is attacking Wancheng."

"Humph!" Cao Cao snorted coldly, and slammed his hand on the table, "Zhang Xiu is a heinous thief. He has blocked our imperial army twice, and he should be executed."

"My lord, my son wrote in a letter that Mr. Anmin is willing to be your guarantee. If my lord can't tolerate Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu, he is willing to let them go to the land of Jiujiang, far away from Xuchang, so that you will not be out of sight and out of your mind."

Cheng Yu added fuel to the fire, and immediately ignited Cao Cao's deep dissatisfaction.

"Crack!" The tea cup hit the ground hard.

"Bastard, isn't the land of Jiujiang not my big man's territory? Going to Jiujiang, I have not agreed, let me see who dares to let him go." Cao Cao blushed angrily, and Xun Yu and Cheng Yu looked at each other.

"My lord, Jiujiang is a place far away from the Central Plains. It is located in Huainan, and it is not easy for the imperial court to control it. I think that it is not appropriate for Mr. Anmin to lead the army outside, and there is no one guarding Jiujiang. Why don't you send people from the clan to guard it?"

Cao Cao glanced at Xun Yu, and the emotions in his eyes fluctuated rapidly.

Jiujiang has always been a heart problem for Cao Cao.After finally getting some scars, and being ripped off again, the pain made him extremely uncomfortable.

"According to the two of you, who should go to guard?"

"It must be Cao Zixiao."

"Oh?"

"My lord, to the east of Jiujiang is Sun Ce, and to the west is Liu Biao. Both of them are ambitious people. Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan's decisive battle is imminent. Our army should wipe out Xuzhou and stabilize the south of the Yellow River. So far, the land of Jiujiang, only It is enough to send a capable general to stand firm." What Cheng Yu said was indeed reasonable, and even Cao Cao couldn't say it was bad for a while.
