Chapter 16
"Do you understand astrology?"

On a low slope, Yuan Xi was lying on the ground, bored.

Chunyu Qiong shook her head, "I don't understand."

It was already midnight, and Cao Jun didn't do anything.

Chun Yuqiong became more and more suspicious, this Cao Jun might not come.

But dare not say.

Yuan Xi looked around and saw him anxiously.

Smiling, he pointed to the open space beside him and said, "Sit down and rest for a while, you've been standing for most of the night."

"The general is in a hurry."

Chunyu Qiong smiled wryly, "It's already midnight, and Cao Jun doesn't know when he will arrive."

"Uncle Chunyu come and sit down first."

Yuan Xi sat up, pulled him to sit down, pointed to the sky and said: "Instead of being anxious, why not follow me to learn the way of astrology, if you understand the way of astrology, you will not be anxious."

Chunyu Qiong said blankly: "It is said that that thing is quite difficult. I am a rough person, how can I learn it well?"

Yuan Xi pointed to a big star in the sky and said, "Did you see that star?"

"Which star?"

"That one, the brighter one, is still moving. See it?"

"I see."

"Well, that's called Taibai Xing. Have you seen the two stars on its left and right? Those are the ghost star and the willow star, which belong to the second and third mansions of the 28 constellations."

"Now Taibai Xing is flying from Liu Xing to Ghost Xing, this is the way of retrograde."

Chunyu Qiong was dazzled by seeing it, she just felt that the sky was full of stars, and she couldn't tell which one was which.

"Look again, there is a streamer flying between the bull and the bucket over there, do you know what these mean?"

As if listening to a scripture, Chunyu Qiong asked, "What does it mean?"

"It means that there will be looting by bandit soldiers. To put it simply, someone will come to sneak attack tonight."

Chunyuqiong said with emotion: "It's really the knowledge of the gods, which is something that most people can learn. The second son is amazing. The last general will not be able to learn it in this life."

Seeing Chunyuqiong's shocked expression, Yuan Xi thanked Jushou very much.

This study of astrology, talking nonsense in front of people who don't understand, and seeing other people's confused faces, still feels very refreshing.

He has used it twice, tried and tested.

Chunyu Qiong's eyes were wide open, it was painful to see, and he didn't see any stars moving.

Boom, boom.
"Kill it."

Suddenly there was a vibration in the distance, followed by a shout.

Chunyu Qiong stood up suddenly, her eyes popped out.

"Really, is it really here?"

Yuan Xi stood up expressionlessly, staring at Yuan Jun's barracks in the distance.

In just a moment, a burst of rockets flew into Yuan Jun's camp, and then countless Cao Jun rushed in.

Cao Ren led the army to enter, just because Yuan Jun's defense was lax and he easily killed him.

But soon the quiet Yuan Jun camp made his complexion change suddenly.

"It's not easy to fall into the trap, retreat."

Cao Ren was so mad with hatred that he grabbed the reins tightly, turned his horse's head and ran away.

Drums sounded all around.

Yuan Jun shouted and surrounded him from all directions.

Cao Jun was in a commotion.

Cao Ren gritted his teeth and roared, "Come out with me."

On the short slope, Chunyu Qiong's blood was boiling with excitement, and he shouted: "Kill, kill them all."

Seeing that Cao Renyong was unstoppable, he hurriedly said, "Shoot the arrow, kill him."

Yuan Xi seemed to be watching a show, and said with a casual smile, "Didn't you say you wanted to kill him yourself?"

Seeing Cao Ren walking farther and farther, Chunyu Qiong restrained his disappointment, Fu Xu calmly said: "Then spare his life for now, and I will behead him someday."

Yuan Xi: "."

On the city of Xuchang.

Seeing the fire in Yuan Jun's barracks, Cao Pi slammed on the battlements and said in surprise, "Second Uncle is mighty, Yuan Jun has been defeated."

Jia Xu was expressionless, looking at the fire in the distance, his eyes flickered.

But soon Cao Pi was dumbfounded.

The fire in the distance was extinguished for a moment, and a general led dozens of soldiers to flee frantically.

It is Cao Ren and his trilogy.

Cao Ren rode fast, took the lead, and opened a long distance.

But his trilogy was unlucky, one after another was shot off the horse.

Immediately, he was culled and killed by the surging Yuan Jun.

Cao Pi's face was pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Cover, cover my second uncle." His voice suddenly rose, "Hurry up and cover my second uncle."

In the distance, Yuan Ying suddenly called Jin to withdraw his troops, and Yuan Jun immediately receded like a tide.

Not at all muddle-headed.

Cao Pi was overwhelmed and froze in place.

"Second son, General Zixiao is here."

After a while, Jia Xu called softly.

Cao Pi cheered up and hurriedly greeted him.

Cao Ren was covered in blood, and there was a cut on his face that was bleeding out.

Cao Pi hurriedly asked someone to pass on the military doctor.

Cao Ren signaled that he didn't need it, he dropped the weapon casually, supported the city wall with both hands, and stared at Yuan Ying in the distance.

Cao Pi smiled and said with relief: "Second Uncle, don't be sad. Although some soldiers were lost this time, Yuan Ying suffered heavy losses. We can count it as a small victory. Winning at this moment can not only boost morale, but also protect the emperor."

Cao Ren interrupted him, "I've been tricked."

"what?"

Cao Pi opened his mouth slightly, his face full of astonishment.

"Yuan Jun is an empty battalion."

Cao Pi lost his voice: "How could this happen? How did Yuan Jun know that we would attack?"

"This is exactly where I am puzzled. They seem to be waiting for me to go."

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Don't be afraid of the enemy's strong soldiers and horses, but be afraid that the enemy still has brains.

Jia Xu looked leisurely, casually glanced at Yuan Ying's direction.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and there was no movement from Xuchang.

Yuan Xi summoned all the generals, including Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others.

"Launch a general attack tonight."

When everyone heard this, they all geared up.

Zhang Liao and the others had complex expressions.

Yuan Xidao: "Han Meng, you lead your army and horses to attack the south city; Xu Huang and Xu Chu, you two lead [-] soldiers and horses, pretending to attack the east gate."

Both of them were taken aback, they didn't expect Yuan Xi to let them attack the city.

Yuan Xi didn't wait for the two of them to respond, and continued to issue orders, "Zhang Nan, Jiao Chu, you two lead the troops of the headquarters and follow me to attack the west gate."

The generals suddenly took orders.

Zhang Liao felt a little uncomfortable. Although he was a surrendered general and he was unwilling, he still felt very uncomfortable being treated differently.

Yuan Xi smiled slightly and looked at Zhang Liao, "General Wen Yuan, lead a thousand troops and go around the city at night to ambush outside the north gate. No matter how many people come out of them, just catch them. Those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy."

Zhang Liao froze for a moment, then cupped his hands.

"Okay, let's all go down. Xuchang City must be taken tonight."

After everyone left, Chunyu Qiong said worriedly: "How can Second Young Master reuse them? If they have objections, wouldn't we be in trouble?"

"What's the matter, we are going to accept the surrender, not to fight."

Yuan Xi ignored Chun Yuqiong's blind worry, and said to Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu, "The order will be passed on. After entering the city, you are not allowed to burn, kill and loot. Anyone who disobeys the general will be killed."

Xuchang Ximen.

Yuan Xi looked at the top of the city from afar, his heart beating wildly.

All the generals behind him were also fully prepared, just waiting for an order to rush into the city together.
