After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

Cao Cao led the Chinese army in a feint attack.

Every day Zhang Yun and Cao Hong were sent to the city to call for battle.

Zhang He was responsible for exposing the Yuan family's shortcomings, and Cao Hong was responsible for disgusting Yuan Shang.

"How could Yuan Shao have such an idiot son as you?"

"The foundation accumulated for decades, you will lose it in less than half a year!"

"Fleeing from Yecheng, I don't want my wife and children!"

"Your mother Liu begged the prime minister to save the whole family!"

"The prime minister sternly refused, but what about your mother? I don't even have the face to mention that to the prime minister!"

The back molars of Yuan Shangqi standing on the top of the wall were almost crushed.

The judge hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "My lord, Wan Wang, please calm down. This is just a poisonous plan by Cao thief to force you out of the city. Don't fall into the trap!"

Yuan Shang beat his chest and stamped his feet: "Cao thief, you wicked Cao thief! This is worse than killing me!"

The judge continued: "My lord, the walls of Handan City are high and thick. As long as we stick to it, there is nothing Cao Cao can do. He will be more anxious than us then!"

Under the earnest persuasion of the judge, Yuan Shang finally got down from the wall.

In the next few days, the judge will stand guard at the top of the city.

Silently enduring the crazy output from Cao Hong.

In the early morning of this day, Cao Jun was very abnormal. Not only did he not come to call for formation, but even the entire Cao camp was silent.

This made the keen judge feel uneasy.

Once Cao Cao doesn't move, it means that he must be making small moves secretly.

The judge sent out scouts to check Cao Jun's movements outside the city.

This inquiry doesn't matter, Cao Jun is actually digging a river, which is to flood Handan.

The judge hurriedly went to see Yuan Shang and reported the matter to him face to face.

"What did you say?" Yuan Shang stood up excitedly: "Cao Cao wants to flood our Handan City?"

"Yes!" The examiner nodded: "I should have expected it a long time ago, when Cao Cao dug the river around Handan City, it was not just for transporting grain!"

Yuan Shang said: "The terrain of Handan City is extremely high, it may not be easy to flood it, right?"

The examiner shook his head: "The rainy season is coming soon, once the upstream is full of flood water and put into Handan City, then..."

Yuan Shang already knew the seriousness of the matter without further review.

"This dog Cao is devoid of conscience!" Yuan Shang shook his head angrily, and suddenly asked the interrogator: "Sir, why don't we retreat to Youzhou?"

The judge immediately shook his head and denied: "Master, once our army withdraws, Cao's army will come to pursue it, not to mention that since Cao Cao is going to flood Handan City, he will definitely block our retreat!"

"Then what should we do? Are we going to wait to die in the city?" Yuan Shang felt the death threat from Lao Tzu Cao Cao.

The examiner made a bow with both hands: "I have a plan to make the lord retreat to Youzhou safely!"

"What strategy?" Yuan Shang excitedly grabbed the examiner's arm.

The judge said: "Cao's army flooded Handan City, and the people will be panicked. You can order the people to move to Youzhou, and Juhu, the son of Jushou, will escort the lord there!"

"Yeah!" Yuan Shang nodded: "There are tens of thousands of people, if they get mixed in, Cao Jun really won't be able to detect it!"

The judge said: "In this way, my lord can enter Youzhou, and then organize troops to fight against Cao Cao!"

"What about Mr.?" Yuan Shang asked again.

The examiner smiled: "I will stick to Handan City, the lord, in case Cao Jun becomes suspicious!"

Yuan Shang asked: "But if Cao Jun really floods Handan, how can you protect yourself?"

"If you treat me as a gentleman of the country, you should repay me as a gentleman of the country. What's more, the former lord has kindness to me. How dare you not do your best today?"

The impassioned words of the examiner immediately made Yuan Shang's eyes turn red: "Mr. is really a loyal minister of my Yuan family!"

The judge bowed and bowed: "My lord, please make preparations early, otherwise things will change!"

"Okay!" Yuan Shang nodded heavily: "After I arrive in Youzhou, I will send someone to inform the gentleman immediately that Handan City does not have to be defended, as long as the husband is alive!"

"Obey!" The examiner clasped his fists and saluted Yuan Shang.

On the second day, people in Handan were panicked.

Everyone is afraid of Cao's army flooding the city.

That night, notices were posted all over the city.

Three days later, the gate of the north city was opened, and all the people in the city could take their families and take refuge elsewhere. If they went to Youzhou, the government would distribute money, food, vehicles and horses.

The common people pass news to each other, and they all have the intention of going to Youzhou.

Three days later, the north gate of Handan City opened wide.

Countless people drove the donkey carts out of the city with their families and mouths.

And Yuan Shangtong Juhu and other ministries will mix with the common people and go to Youzhou.

Chapter 88

When Cao Cao learned that Handan City had let the people go to Youzhou, he immediately sent troops to investigate along the way.

However, with little success.

Tens of thousands of people fled from Handan City every day, most of them brought their families with them, so it was impossible to check them carefully.

But one thing is certain, whether these people are real or not, their weapons and armor are real.

Even if there are soldiers hiding in the ranks of the common people, they will not be able to cause harm to Cao Jun.

But in Handan city, the judges climbed to the top of the city every day, and had no intention of fleeing.

This surprised Cao Cao.

Since you and Yuan Shang won't leave, you can only play for real.

Half a month later, the canal water poured into Handan City.

The whole city became a water city, and even the camp was flooded.

The generals couldn't bury their pots to make food, so they hid in high places one after another.

Many soldiers complained to the judges and were dissatisfied, and some soldiers even fled Handan City.

The judge dispatched a patrol team, and those who fled would be killed without mercy.

But even so, some people still fled, and some even voted for Cao.

Xin Ping's younger brother Xin Pi is one of them.

Invited by Zhang He, he went out of the city late at night and joined Cao Ying.

When Cao Cao learned about it, he went out of Yuanmen to meet Simpi himself.

The first thing to do was to light a fire to keep Simpi warm.

Xin Pi is Xin Ping's younger brother.

However, Xin Ping has always been at odds with Yuan Tan's work and trial assignments.

Yuan Tan is also a friend of Cao Cao, and Xin Ping is a typical example of abandoning darkness and turning to light.

Cao Cao asked Simpi, "How is the situation in the city?"

Simpi sighed: "Yuan Shang stays in the Chinese army's tent all day long, and all matters big and small are presided over by the judge!"

"Yeah!" Cao Cao nodded, and asked again, "How many soldiers and horses are there in the city?"

Simpi said: "There are more than [-] soldiers, but none of them have the will to fight, and the morale of the army is chaotic!"

Cao Cao smiled: "Do you have a plan to break the city?"

"Yes!" Simpi said, "I have a dear friend, Shen Rong. Although he is Shen Pei's nephew, he is very dissatisfied with him. You can incite him to open the city gate and welcome the prime minister into Handan City!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Okay, if you break Handan City, you will be the first!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Xin Pi clasped his fists as a gesture, and wrote a letter overnight.

Early the next morning, before Simpi's letter was delivered, bad news came from Handan City.

When the judge learned that Simpi had escaped, he killed his family members and hung his head on the city gate to demonstrate.

Simpi wept in pain, never expecting that the judge would not leave any leeway in his work.

The death of Simpi's family made Cao Cao believe in him.

That night, Simpi's letter was sent into the city.

Shen Rong cried bitterly after watching it.

He and Simpi are the best friends, and when he learned that his uncle was going to kill his family members, he begged many times, but it was of no avail.

The general situation in Handan City is over, and the soldiers are unwilling to continue to work for a useless lord hiding in a big tent.

However, Shen Rong is still holding on, killing people and demonstrating.

Persistence is death, and rebellion still has a chance.

What about uncle?

Shen Rong immediately summoned his troops to discuss countermeasures overnight.

That night, he wrote back to Simpi, agreeing to start an incident in the middle of the night three days later, under the name of an open fire.

Simpi got the reply and went to see Cao Cao immediately.

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly: "He who understands current affairs is a hero, and the judge did the right thing!"

Xin Pi clasped his fists together: "Prime Minister, please make preparations early!"

"Okay!" Cao Cao nodded and raised his account overnight to discuss the matter.

Order Cao Hong and Zhang Liao to be the vanguard, and three days later, they will enter the city first to cooperate with the trial.

Then Cao Cao personally led all the main forces into Handan City.

Cao Cao said loudly: "We will win Jizhou in the first battle!"

"Obey!" All the generals in the big tent shouted loudly.

Countless people have waited too long for this moment.

Three days later, in the middle of the night, the river in the city gradually receded.

Shenrong takes over from his uncle to watch the night.

Around the middle of the night, he suddenly attacked the generals under his command.

In just a short time, all the cronies of the trial match were beheaded.

Shen Rong lit the fire as a signal, and his subordinates immediately opened the city gate.

Seeing the signal, Zhang Liao and Cao Hong immediately led their troops into the city.

Almost at the same time, Shenpei also learned of Shenrong's rebellion, and led an army from the camp to quell the rebellion.

Cao Hong and Zhang Liao immediately led their troops to fight fiercely with Shen Pei in the city.

Afterwards, Cao Cao personally led the main force of the army into the city.

The gates of Handan City were all opened, and hundreds of thousands of Cao troops poured in.

The melee continued until sunset the next day.

In the city of Handan, the ground was muddy, bloody, and there were countless corpses.

Nearly half of Yuan's army surrendered, and the rest were either killed or seriously injured.

Sitting on the top of the city, Cao Cao overlooked the entire Handan City, and suddenly felt a heroic heart.

Afterwards, the judge was escorted to the top of the city.

"Kneel down!" Xu Chu yelled angrily, and kicked the examiner to his knees on the ground.

Cao Cao said, "Mr. Shen, where is Yuan Shang?"
