There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

"Cao Ren is in Chenliu, Xun Yu is in Xuchang, and Cao Ang is on the border of Dongjun, guarding the three big cities!"

"They didn't station all their soldiers and horses in the city of Xuchang?" The potter touched his chin in doubt and said, "Bring Pitu!"

When I was young, I saw Pei Qian bring the map, and the potter sat down where he was, and began to study it carefully.

"Cao Ren and Xun Yu are very good at it." The pottery merchant smiled and said, "The three places are not close to each other, and they are all big cities, and they both occupy the other two marching roads to the north and west. Even taking down other cities, but after a long time, it will be useless."

"Prime Minister, what should we do next?" Pei Qian asked.

The potter thought for a while, and said: "Let's try it first, attack Chenliu! In the land of Yanzhou, Cao Ren is currently the most powerful. As long as we conquer Chenliu and defeat Cao Ren, then half of the Central Plains will be pacified."

"promise!"

The potter's army immediately headed towards Chenliu where Cao Ren was.

And Cao Ren had already been waiting in Chenliu.

After the potters arrived, they immediately ordered Xu Chu, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin to lead the attacking army to launch a fierce attack on the city.

But Cao Ren was already prepared.

Above the city, bows, crossbows, stones, and hot golden juice were all thrown at the Jinling army attacking the city.

Under the leadership of four generals, the Jinling Army repeatedly attacked four times, including two attempts to ascend the city, but failed to capture the tower.

Cao Ren's defense finally worked.

No matter what powerful generals or elite soldiers you send, I will stand still!

Two hours later, the Jinling Army finally stopped trying the project and retreated resentfully.

And Xu Chu was also hit by a stone throw. Fortunately, he dodged in time, otherwise he would have been smashed and his brains would burst out.

Facing Cao Ren, whose zodiac sign is bastard, the potter is quite helpless.

It seems that Chen Liu won't be able to hold on for a while.

Chapter 782 Three Nails

Facing Cao Ren, who was like a bastard, the potter couldn't help feeling a little overwhelmed.

Cao Ren is a bastard, if it comes to field battles, no matter how capable he is, the potter believes that with the bravery of the Jinling army, he can take down ten Cao Rens.

But he hid in the city, which is a bit difficult to deal with.

When Cao Cao ruled the Central Plains in recent years, he also fortified several important cities like iron barrels. It is not so easy for ordinary people to conquer them.

But the potters may not have nothing to do with them. As long as they can surround the city for a long time and prolong the time, they will be able to pull out these nails one by one sooner or later.

But potters feel as if they don't have that much time.

Although he is powerful at the moment, the world is an enemy, and the main force may need to be mobilized at any time. Too long in one place is not very good for strategy.

The land of the Central Plains has different meanings for potters.

As long as the Central Plains is taken down, Hebei, Jiangnan, Xuzhou, Jianghuai and other places controlled by pottery merchants will be truly connected. Moreover, it is also possible to cut off the connection between Cao Cao and Sanliu and others, and divide and conquer.

But Cao Ren's defense was too tight, so tight that Tao Shang felt his ass hurt.

Looking at the heavily armed soldiers of Cao Jun on the top of the city, Tao Shang felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

This hateful Cao Ren.

The pottery merchant pondered for a while, then rode his horse, and led a group of people out of the attack range under the city, and shouted at the city wall from a distance: "Where is General Zixiao? Can you come out and answer?"

When I was young, I saw Cao Ren appearing at the top of the city. He was wrapped in a thick blue armor and wrapped himself tightly. Looking at the potters in the distance below the city, he made a heavy nasal sound first, and then He spat again: "Hmph!"

Even though he knew that Cao Ren would never agree, the potter still tried to shout: "Cao Ren, what kind of talent is hiding in the city, do you dare to come out and fight one-on-one with my soldiers?"

Cao Ren: "Hmph! Bah!"

Tao Shang said: "Don't you dare? Well, then do you dare to go out of the city and fight me one-on-one to the death?"

"Hmph! Pooh!"

The pottery merchant shouted at Cao Ren again: "Don't you dare? Then do you dare to come out and fight my father one-on-one?"

"Hmph! Pooh!"

"Do you dare to come out and fight to the death with my four-year-old son?"

"Okay then, let your son come out! Watch me beat him!" Cao Ren suddenly changed his tune on the top of the wall.

"Bah!" The pottery spat fiercely: "This person is hopeless, get out!"

Chen Liu failed to fight, the potter thought for a while, and then moved to Xuchang.

The city of Xuchang is also very strong. Although Xun Yu is far inferior to Cao Ren in the strategy of using troops to defend, there is one point that Xun Yu is far superior to Cao Ren.

That is his popularity in Xuchang!

In the entire city of Xuchang, all the people are soldiers, whether it is ordinary people, merchants, businessmen, or gentry, everyone who contributes people, whoever contributes force, who contributes supplies, and whoever supplies materials, makes Xuchang city defenseless, and its defense force is better than Chen Liucheng Even more tenacious.

The reason why the people of Xuchang City are so united is not because of Cao Cao, but because of Xun Yu!

Today's Xun Yu's reputation in Xuchang City has surpassed Cao Cao's by a lot. It can be said that many common people and gentry only recognize the Xun family in Yingchuan, but they don't recognize Cao Cao.

After an hour of attack, the potters decided to temporarily suspend their troops.

Qu Yi, who was in charge of attacking the city, hurriedly said to the Tao merchant, "Master Tao, although the city of Xuchang is extremely strong, it is not impossible to take it down. As long as you give the general more time, he will definitely be able to take it down." This city!"

The pottery merchant shook his head and said, "Let's forget it for the time being. Xuchang City is full of soldiers. If we attack the city too tightly, we will inadvertently provoke public anger and lose the support of Xuchang people. The loss is not worth the gain."

Qu Yi became anxious when he heard the words, he said: "For the sake of the people, but you gave up the city, how can you fight this battle?"

The potter thought about it carefully, and said, "Detour, go to Puyang, and see what Cao Ang can do?"

Qu Yi listened helplessly, although with his character, he still believed that violence was the most direct way to solve the problem, but he couldn't beat the potter.

The hearts of the people in Xuchang City closely follow Xun Yu, and it can be said that they are united. If the pottery merchants intensify their attack, they will probably hurt the gentry and the common people, and cause huge casualties to Xuchang. At that time, the people of Yuzhou will lose their hearts. This is by no means a pottery merchant. desired result.

There was simply too much for him to think about.

The three armies began to send troops to Puyang again.

Pu Yangcheng's defender is Cao Ang, who is about the same age as a pottery merchant, and now it's time to take charge of his own affairs.

The people who assisted him in defending the city were Cao Xiu and Xia Houshang, the next generation of Cao Jun's elites.
