Uncle, please help the Han family

Cao Cao raised his head in astonishment, and looked at the serious Dian Wei.

At this moment, the world seemed to pause.

It wasn't until the two looked at each other for a long time that Cao Cao showed a stiff expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile: "Is the person you're talking about... the one I know?"

Chapter 372 It's Noon, Draw Your Sword!

Chen Gong...

How many Chen Gongs are there in this world?

In other words, who would deliberately oppose Cao Mengde at this time?

"It's this guy, so it's no wonder he fought so hard." Gradually waking up from his bewilderment, Cao Cao nodded his head and analyzed calmly, "If it's Chen Gong, this Everything is not surprising anymore, including Tao Qian's bullshit talk when he dealt with me that day, it should all come from that person's plan."

"My lord." Dian Wei also became more cautious when he spoke because he had heard about the affairs between Cao Cao and Chen Gong. "There is still no sign that the city can be taken down. Do you want to continue to attack the city?"

"Of course we have to attack, and we can't stop for a moment."

Cao Cao waved his hand, telling Dian Wei not to care about his mental state.

Indeed, the person who confronted her was Chen Gong, which she never expected.

But so what?

It is indeed unforgettable for the ex, but the unforgettable is the unforgettable, so you can't live without it, right?

The plan to compete in the Central Plains must continue, and it will not stop just because of who is blocking it.

Even if it's Chen Gong, as long as she blocks my way, I can still kill her!

"Here."

Although it was getting late, but seeing Cao Cao was so determined, Dian Wei simply clenched his fists and saluted, then turned around and pulled out the double halberds behind his back.

In an instant, the pure white hair was attached by a strong orange light, and it curled up like a hedgehog. The temperament of the whole person changed in an instant, giving people an extremely mighty feeling.

This is the only super general in the hands of Cao Cao.

Although Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun were also good, Cao Cao had to admit that binding the three artifact holders, Yu Jin, Cao Ren, and Xiahou Dun together, was no match for his extremely loyal guard general.

And this will also be the trump card used by Cao Cao to deal with Liu Yu's reinforcements.

That's right, although Xiapi City is being attacked, Cao Cao's attention has always been on another target, and it has never changed.

Only he is the real opponent worthy of vigilance.

"My lord... My lord!" When Cao Cao was personally supervising the battle behind the army, Cheng Yu, who was covered in mud, suddenly ran over and hurriedly reported to Cao Cao, "It's done...it's done!"

"Oh, that was hard."

Seeing Cheng Yu approaching, Cao Cao smiled, and took the initiative to wipe the stains on Cheng Yu's forehead with his sleeves.

"Thank you, my lord." After panting, Cheng Yu bowed gratefully to Cao Cao, then returned to the topic, and said, "Now, according to my lord's idea, the river channel for Yishui and Surabaya to flow here has been dug, and sandbags have also been used. Block the river water and accumulate a lot of water, just wait for the lord's order, and the lower Pi will be flooded."

"There's no rush for this, let's make a dozen calls first."

Yes, Cao Cao thought of a rather wicked strategy, which was to flood the city of Xiapi built by the river with water.

However, because it is not a flood season at this time, the flow of the river is not enough, so the effect of watering the city is definitely not as good as in summer.

Of course, this level is enough. The purpose of Cao Cao's watering of Xiapi is not to drown the people inside, but to destroy some extremely important materials in Tao Qian City with flood water.

Among them, arrows are the most afraid of water, because although the arrows are made of mother stone, they will not rust or corrode, but the body of the arrow is not waterproof, and most of the arrows soaked in water will be directly scrapped.

After all, under this extremely tough mechanism, whether it is a bow or an arrow, the quality requirements for the arrow body are extremely high.

"If Xiapi is really going to be flooded, it means that this city has become difficult for us to defend." Cheng Yu said with emotion as he looked at the fortified city standing in front of him.

"Yeah, that's why I'm waiting."

Flooding the city with water is one of the strategies, but it is not the only one.

The best solution at present is naturally to take down Xiapi, kill all Tao Qian's family, imprison Chen Gong under his command, and then use such a strong city as a base to fight against Liu Yu's army.

With Langya Xiapi here, no matter what Liu Yu wants to do, he can see what he can do, even if he wants to take the opportunity to occupy the land of Qingzhou.

Who cares?

You take Qingzhou and I take Xuzhou, you unify Hebei, and I take all of Henan. At that time, no matter whether we are in the decisive battle in Qingzhou or Yanzhou, I will be worthy of you.

The disparity in strength may indeed exist, but history has never said that 'wars rely on numbers'.

Instead, the right time and place are in harmony with people.

The sky and the earth are not on my side, but the people in the middle of the sky and the earth can be changed by me.

I will prove with my actions that your benevolence and righteousness are just cowardice in another way.

"By the way, Zhongde, do you know who is defending Tao Qian in Xiapi City?" Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu relaxedly with a playful tone.

"who is it?"

Cheng Yu opened his eyes wide and looked at her very curiously, showing extraordinary interest. After all, compared with the one in Langya County, the Xuzhou Army's defense this time is like a different person, completely different.

Without continuing to whet his appetite, Cao Cao gave a concise answer: "It's Chen Gong."

"Chen Gong?"

Hearing this, Cheng Yu's body tensed up in fright, he stretched out his finger, and asked in disbelief: "Is that the Chen Gong who fled with the lord back then?"

To be precise, Cao Cao was caught by Chen Gong, the county magistrate, when he was wanted by Dong Zhuo.

At that time, in order to protect the hero who assassinated the thief, Chen Gong voluntarily abandoned his official position, and regardless of the generous reward, he embarked on the road of escape with Cao Cao, and planned to go to Suanzao to join the alliance of princes.

Then, the "Lu Boshe incident" that Cao Cao was blacked out all his life happened, which caused Chen Gong to draw a line with him, and then disappeared.

"Yes, it's her, Chen Gongtai." Cao Cao nodded and replied.

"It's unbelievable. After this person disappeared, he actually went to seek refuge with Tao Qian, a dying person..."

"It's not to join Tao Qian." Cao Cao shook his finger and corrected, "It's to use Tao Qian's pawn to resist me."

"This……"

Cheng Yu knew what happened between these two people, so he didn't continue to comment, and chose to remain silent.

Logically speaking, I should support Cao Cao, after all, she is my master.

But as a scholar and a scholar, to be reasonable, this wave is indeed that the lord has failed Chen Gongtai.

So the best way is not to get involved in this matter at all.

But Cao Cao, an over-the-top lord, would not make his subordinates so comfortable. She didn't care about Cheng Yu's conflicted heart, and continued to chat: "Then Zhongde, what do you think I will do to Chen Gong after I take down Xiapi City?" Where's that guy?"

I don't care how you treat Chen Gong!

This should have nothing to do with me, right? I never intervened in the love and hatred between you...

"My lord..." Although she was very speechless, Cao Cao took the initiative to chat with her, and Cheng Yu couldn't say that she directly refuted the lord's face, so after a little thought, she replied cautiously, "Persuade Chen Gong to surrender, to abandon the dark and turn to the light?"

"No, that guy is absolutely impossible to surrender." Cao Cao replied flatly, "Everyone in this world may surrender to me, but Chen Gong is absolutely impossible."

"Then, then..." Thinking that Cao Cao is such a cruel person, Cheng Yu guessed in a low voice, "Then the lord wants to kill Chen Gong...?"

No, I shouldn't have said that.

In case Cao Cao still has broken ties with Chen Gong'ou, and there is no hatred in his heart, wouldn't I be making her think that I am jealous of Chen Gongzhi's talent when I say this?

If I think too much, I will be jealous or something, it is absolutely impossible!

However, Cao Cao was not excited, but shook his head peacefully, denying this statement.

"Since that's the case, then I... I really can't guess."

Although this topic is very dangerous, and Cheng Yu's character is unwilling to participate, but she is also quite heartbroken about the emotional bond between these two people.

You must know that when Chen Gong abandoned his official position and followed Cao Cao, a wanted criminal who was hunted down by the Han court, he had absolutely no intention.

It stands to reason that Chen Gong gave up everything to follow Cao Cao when he was poor and white. Now that Cao Cao has established his achievements and become a hero in the world, he should use eight sedan chairs to invite Chen Gong back who has suffered with her.

However, when the two meet again, there is no warmth of rekindling old feelings.

It's a shame, it's a shame.

(Deliberately messing with Jifu, right?)

"I want her."

Raising his head and looking at the city of Xiapi, Cao Cao's expression suddenly darkened: "I want her, admit that I was wrong."

Chapter 372 It's Noon, Draw Your Sword!

"This, this is it."

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a narrow matter, Cheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and then agreed: "Indeed, this Chen Gong was wrong, he left the lord because of the mere matter of Lu Boshe, and now he is deliberately with you An enemy. It can be said that she has made the right choice, except for abandoning her official position and following the lord."

"No, that's not what I said."

When Cheng Yu spoke very vigorously, Cao Cao quite calmly denied all of this.

"Then, what is that?"

Puzzled, he moved to Cao Cao's side, Cheng Yu always felt that his lord's current appearance was very strange.

It's so weird that people want to touch her clever and vicious brain, and make her a little happier...

"I want her to admit she was wrong."

Biting his lip, the expression in his pupils suddenly dimmed, and Cao Cao's tone trembled rarely: "Admit it, leaving me at that time was the worst decision."

…………

"This dog Cao Cao is really unforgiving, and today he retreated even later than yesterday."

After Cao Cao retreated, Chen Gong stood on the top of the city, looked at the corpses piled up under the city, and cursed rather unhappily: "Crazy woman, if you don't retreat now, don't even think about leaving when Xiangguo's reinforcements arrive. !"

"Then Xiangguo's reinforcements..." Tao Qianzhi asked rather resentfully, "Will they really arrive?"

"Whether it will come or not, I don't know, but if we lose the city in these two days, it will be useless even if Xiangguo comes."

After Chen Gongtou answered Mr. Tao without turning around, he began to patrol the city vigorously: "Don't slack off, take all the wounded to a special place for medical treatment, and then gather the corpses in the school grounds and burn them. Be careful not to contaminate them with drinking. Water of blood!"

"Here! Your Excellency!"

The soldiers at the top of the city had already obeyed Chen Gongyan, and they didn't even pay attention to Tao Qian's big son beside her.

Of course, Mr. Tao is not the kind of man who cares about such things. As a second-generation official who is indifferent to fame and wealth, he is only responsible for meeting any requirements of Chen Gong and giving him full support.

High emotional intelligence: indifferent to fame and fortune.

Low EQ: Useless bastard.

"The casualties of our soldiers are not serious now, and there is a fortified city of Xiapi, so it will definitely not be a problem to defend it for a few more months?" Tao Qian asked very optimistically.

"It's like waiting for work at leisure. The initial defense will indeed give people an illusion that they can stick to it."

However, Chen Gong didn't give him any face, and replied quite desperately: "But with Cao Cao's elite soldiers, many artifacts, and Dian Wei's strength, the limit of our army's ability to hold on is actually only ten days to one month."

"Ten days to January? Why is the span so large?"

"Because I can only guarantee ten days." Chen Gong's mouth curled up, and he explained with a dry smile, "The rest of the time depends on whether we are lucky or not."

Although Cao Jun is strong and Cao Cao is clever, they are only mortal bodies after all.

This Xuzhou city is the real undefeated giant.

No matter which side wins, this Xuzhou city will exist here, just like Luoyang, even if it is burned by karma, the main body of the city still exists here.

This is the city created in the mother stone era, and the lower limit of defense is extremely high.

"Hey, ten days is still too little. It would be great if we could have one month." Tao Qian thumped his palms with his fists, and said rather awkwardly.

"The ten days to one month I'm talking about is just an ordinary attack. If Cao Cao uses that." Looking into the distance, Chen Gong couldn't laugh anymore, and said in a serious tone, "Then when we are defeated, we will only be defeated." Advance again."

"That?" Tao Qian Haoda'er suddenly had a black line on his face, and asked in extreme shock, "Which one did you mean?"

"Yishui, and Surabaya."

Chen Gong didn't hide it, and directly said Cao Cao's final trick.
