However, Li Dian was in a coma all the time. Cao Cao searched for famous doctors from Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, but he still failed to save Li Dian.

"Come here, send the doctor away."

Cao Cao waved his hand feebly.

After the doctor left, the pale Le Jin said angrily,

"My lord, I'm going to find Hua Xiong to avenge Mancheng!"

As he said that, he turned to leave.

"Le Jin! Stop!"

Cao Cao sternly stopped Le Jin.

The generals on the side also stopped Le Jin one after another, not letting him leave.

Le Jin took a few steps back helplessly, and sat down on the chair with a look of despair on his face.

Among the people present, who didn't want to kill Hua Xiong?

But this matter is difficult to reach the blue sky.

Hua Xiong and Zhao Yun came to attack the camp with only 3000 troops.

Killed Cao Cao's two generals and burned the food and grass.

Even Cao Cao and Liu Bei were chased into a panic.

But apart from killing some of Hua Xiong's men and horses, they didn't even hurt his fur.

Everyone was angry and powerless.

Before the two sides officially started the war, half of the food and grass were burned, and a general was killed. Cao Cao was not to mention how annoyed he was.

He was so angry that he executed all the soldiers who were in charge of guarding that day, but even so, he still couldn't vent the anger in his heart.

"Pass down the order so that General Mancheng can be buried."

Cao Cao waved his hand and signaled everyone to go down.

Only Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Chen Gong were left behind.

"Brother Meng De, Hua Xiong is arrogant, bloodthirsty and cruel.

General Li Dian's revenge, we will definitely avenge it in the future. "

Liu Bei comforted.

Cao Cao's face looks so much better.

But what Chen Gong said next made his expression become embarrassing.

"Our army's food and grass can only last for another seven days.

After seven days, there is a risk of food shortages. "

Cao Cao used two counties to raise 10 horses, which was a huge financial burden.

Of the 10 horses on weekdays, half of them were taken out to farm, and it was barely able to sustain it.

But now that the [-] troops are all mobilized, and they are going to fight Hua Xiong, the food and grass are a bit stretched.

Cao Cao's original plan was to obtain supplies after taking Shouchun, and take advantage of the opportunity to attack the fertile Yanzhou.

In this way, the crisis of food shortage can be easily solved.

But it has been raining continuously for the past few days, making it impossible to attack at all.

Not to mention that Hua Xiong set fire to it a few days ago, burning a third of it.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help pinching his teeth, his scalp numb.

"Brother Meng De, don't worry. With such a heavy rain, it must be extremely difficult for Hua Xiong to supply supplies."

Liu Bei comforted.

Chen Gong on the side smiled wryly,

"Liu Pingyuan, you don't know something. The official roads in all states and counties of the imperial court are all made of cement."

"cement?"

Both Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked blank, not knowing what it was.

"Cement is a building material that is extremely hard once poured and cannot be destroyed at all.

We once sent soldiers to harass Huaxiong's rear and disrupt their transportation routes.

But the cement is too hard, even if it is smashed with a sledgehammer, it is difficult to destroy. "

"good."

Cao Cao frowned deeply,

"The Luoyang New City back then was poured with cement, which cost countless huge sums of money.

The spies I placed in the imperial court reported that the official roads within the jurisdiction of the imperial court are all built with cement.

So he doesn't have to worry at all, the road is muddy and difficult to walk on rainy days. "

Hearing this, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang gasped.

It is understandable to use cement to build Luoyang New City.

But the official roads of the imperial court are all cement roads, which is too generous.

Has the national treasury been filled to such a terrifying level?

No wonder Hua Xiong was able to be so rich and powerful, and fight on three fronts at the same time!

Liu Bei thought of Hua Xiong's words of advice to him before Xuzhou left, and his heart felt a little heavy.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little dull for a while.

Zhuge Liang on the side suddenly laughed,

"My lord, Duke Cao, brother Gongtai, you don't have to be so downcast, I have some good news for you."

All three were taken aback, looking at Zhuge Liang.

"According to my calculations, the weather will clear up by tomorrow evening at the latest."

"Is this true?"

Cao Cao's eyes widened.

"How dare Kong Ming deceive Duke Cao?"

"It would be great if it was true as Kong Ming said."

Cao Cao couldn't help but smile on his face.

When the weather cleared, they could attack Shouchun without any hesitation.

As long as Shouchun can be won, all problems will be solved.

Instead of sitting still and waiting to die, it is better to fight hard!

When Cao Cao thought of this, his face became determined,

"Pass down the order, the three armies are ready to meet the enemy in the future!"

……

Sure enough, as Zhuge Liang predicted, the heavy rain that had been raging for more than ten days gradually stopped in the afternoon of the next day.

And the long-lost sun appeared in the sky.

Cao Cao seized this opportunity, quickly rectified the army, and led the army to Shouchun City on the third day.

……

The third day of the offensive and defensive battle of Shouchun City!

"My lord, General Cao Ren's troops have been destroyed by more than half!"

Chen Gong hastily reported.

Cao Cao's face was indifferent, without any disturbance.

"My lord, do you want to replace his troops?"

Chen Gong said cautiously.

"No! Tell Cao Ren that if he wants to withdraw, he must wait until his troops are gone!"

Cao Cao shouted sharply.

The generals on the side listened to Cao Cao's order, and felt a chill in their hearts.

Since the Cao-Liu allied forces arrived in Shouchun, Cao Cao ordered a fierce attack on the city.

With a genius like Zhuge Liang, the coalition forces have already manufactured all kinds of siege equipment.

There are ladders, catapults, and siege vehicles, all of which are available.

But Shouchun City was the capital of Yuan Shu's founding country back then, it was tall and strong, and it has been strengthened by Pang De in the past few years, it is even more impregnable!

In just three days, Cao Cao lost 2 horses, but he didn't even stand on the city wall!

Everyone felt sorry for the soldiers, but seeing Cao Cao's posture, no one dared to speak up.

I had to look aside, Liu Bei, who has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness.

Liu Bei stepped forward bravely,

"Mr. Cao, we can't be so big anymore. Even if we win Shouchun in the end, we will be seriously injured and unable to go north to Yanzhou."

Cao Cao glanced at him,

"Then what do you think is a good way?"

Liu Bei choked for a moment, not knowing what to say for a while.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang next to him suddenly said,

"Liang has a plan."

The opening of the Three Kingdoms is Gatling

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Zhuge Liang has always been known for his resourcefulness.

When he said this, everyone looked at him eagerly, hoping that he could come up with a practical strategy.

"The ground at the foot of Shouchun City is relatively soft.

And after the heavy rain in the past few days, it is easier to dig.

I suggest that we can enter Shouchun by digging a hole. "

Zhuge Liang analyzed softly.

Throughout the ages, there are only a few ways to attack a city.

Either it is a ladder, or breaks through the city gate, or cooperates with the inside and outside,

Either besiege the city, cut off water and food, and surrender when the people inside can't stand it anymore.

The method of digging a hole is not that no one has used it.

However, this method is relatively unpopular and requires talents who are good at calculation to be feasible.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, looked at Zhuge Liang,

"Kong Ming, do you know how to calculate?"

"Know a thing or two." Zhuge Liang smiled, "But it's easy to figure out how to dig a hole."

"That's good."

A big stone fell to the ground in Cao Cao's heart,

"I have specially allocated 2000 troops to you, and you must dig the tunnel within a week."
