S-level auxiliary system: All the heroes of the ages are for my own use

When everyone heard this, they nodded their heads one after another, but when they thought about it, it was obvious that they were going to die.

Climbing up, you can't avoid bows and arrows, you can only be a living target.

The people were at a loss for what to do at first, so on the second day, Cao Ren did not continue to lead the army to attack the city, but instead figured out a way with the people in the big tent of the Chinese army, how to cut off the iron chain.

Lu Bu, who was in the woods, thought he could still see the siege battle between the two armies today, so Lu Bu asked everyone:

"What's going on? This Cao army has been attacking for a day, why did it stop?"

Xu Chu also shook his head after hearing this, expressing that he didn't know what was going on.

After hearing this, Zhang Liao lowered his head and thought for a moment, then he opened his mouth and said to Lu Bu:

"I think they should be worried because they can't use siege vehicles in the army."

Upon hearing this, Lu Bu and Xu Chu hurriedly asked:

"Why? Without the siege engine, you can't take Xuzhou?"

Zhang Liao shook his head and said:

"With the combat power of Xuzhou's soldiers, even without the addition of siege engines, I am afraid they will not be able to withstand Cao's attack. Cao Ren probably wants to use siege engines to reduce casualties because he is afraid of too many casualties."

Xu Chu said:

"That's not easy? Just cut off the rope of the suspension bridge, can't you let the siege vehicle rush up?"

Zhang Liao nodded first, then shook his head again, and said:

"Zhongkang is right and wrong. The rope can be cut easily, but what if it is an iron chain?"

When everyone heard this, they were a little puzzled. I'm afraid it's not easy to cut with iron chains.

Cao Bao and others also thought that Cao Jun would continue to attack the city today, but Cao Jun did not move today, which is really surprising. Zhang Kai on the side also had the same doubts as Cao Bao.

Zhang Kai said seriously to Cao Bao:

"Could it be that Cao Jun has some conspiracy?"

Cao Bao nodded after hearing this, and also felt that there was some conspiracy, so he said:

"Hurry up and tell the brothers to cheer up in case Cao Jun sneaks up late at night."

Zhang Kai went down quickly and conveyed Cao Bao's order.

This time, the pottery merchant who went to rescue the soldiers had already arrived in Jizhou, and only after many notifications did he meet Yuan Shao.

When the potter saw Yuan Shao, he hurriedly said:

"I still hope Yuan Gong will send troops to rescue the people of Xuzhou! The Cao Cao thief sent troops to attack Xuzhou again. My father asked me to come to ask for help. I hope Yuan Gong can send troops to help me in Xuzhou!"

After listening to the Tao merchant's words, Yuan Shao was actually a little moved. If he could snatch Xuzhou from Cao Cao, then his power would not only double.

Apart from Liaodong, Yuan Shao can be said to be the most powerful prince.

After thinking about it again, he didn't answer the potter's question directly, but just said to the potter:

"Nephew, don't worry, go down and rest first, let me think about it, sending troops is not a trivial matter."

When the pottery merchant heard that there was an opportunity, he didn't dare to push Yuan Shao too much, for fear of offending him, so he said to Yuan Shao:

"Yuan Gong, my father said that as long as Yuan Gong is willing to send troops, my father will return 20 dans of food and grass!"

Yuan Shao nodded after hearing this, but he still didn't immediately agree, and said:

"Okay! I think about it, and I will tell my nephew."

The pottery merchant retreated under the leadership of the soldiers. After the pottery merchant was gone, Yuan Shao looked at the counselor standing below, the general, and asked:

"This time Tao Qian came to rescue soldiers, do you think we should send troops to Xuzhou to fight Cao Cao?"

Just as Yuan Shao finished speaking, Xu You stood up and said:

"My lord, this matter is very simple. Then Cao Aman attacked Xuzhou, we just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

Yuan Shao heard this, and said to Xu You:

"Oh...? Keep talking."

Xu You continued:

"My lord, if my guess is correct, even though Cao Aman won Xuzhou, it may not be a good thing."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao asked:

"Why is it not a good thing? Xuzhou is rich in products and has a large population, so it is a place that military strategists must contend for."

Xu You stroked the beard on his chin, and explained:

"My lord doesn't know something. If you link Cao Cao's Yanzhou and Xuzhou together, it will be clear."

After Yuan Shao heard this, he thought about it in his own mind, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he understood something. Before Yuan Shao could say anything about it, Xu You continued:

"It seems that my lord has already guessed it. That's right. If Yanzhou and Xuzhou are under Cao Ameng's governance, then it's the last thing Liu Ziwu of Liaodong wants to see."

"Runan is now the city of Liaodong. If Cao Aman takes Xuzhou, then Liu Xuan has to pass through his territory every time to go to Runan, and Runan can only reach Liaodong through Xuzhou, otherwise he wants to bypass Xuzhou , it will take at least fifteen days to arrive."

Xu You said this, paused, and continued to speak:

"My lord, do you think Liu Ziwu of Liaodong will let Cao Aman get better? It's okay if Cao Aman turns a blind eye to the soldiers of Liaodong. If Cao Aman is blocked, I'm afraid Cao Aman will be the first to suffer Liu Ziwu's anger. As long as Liaodong sends troops to deal with Cao Aman, the lord will be one less A strong opponent, why not do it?"

After Xu You's reminder, Yuan Shao also thought that he would have a bad relationship with Liu Xuan in advance. After listening to Xu You's explanation, as long as he didn't send troops to rescue Xuzhou and let Cao A hide away to take Xuzhou, Liu Xuan would definitely not tolerate him!

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao no longer thought about taking Xuzhou under his command. It is possible to destroy Cao Cao with just one Xuzhou, so Yuan Shao said:

"Hmm...! Ziyuan is right, come here, let the potter come in."

The pottery merchant had just been arranged by the soldiers to rest in a room at this time, and the pottery merchant was not in the mood to rest at this time, he kept pacing back and forth in the room.

The potter, who was burning with anxiety, suddenly heard a soldier outside the door shouting:

"Master Tao, my lord is here to invite you!"

When the potter heard that Yuan Shao invited him, he must have been moved by his father's 20 dan of grain and grass, so he hurriedly opened the door and followed the soldiers to the place where Yuan Shao was.

Seeing the pottery merchant rushing over, Yuan Shao said with a smile on his face:

"Nephew, I thought about it just now. It is true that I can't spare any troops to go to Xuzhou for rescue. Since Yizhou has just been taken over, Liu Zhang let the bandits in Yizhou run rampant and scattered all over the territory of Yizhou. I have already All the soldiers and horses have been sent to Yizhou, and there are not many soldiers left in the city, if you don’t mind, I would like to lend two thousand soldiers and horses to my nephew to support Xuzhou!”

Yuan Shao finished speaking with a smile on his face. When the pottery merchant heard what Yuan Shao said, he definitely didn't believe it in his heart. How could he use so many troops to deal with bandits and robbers? He was obviously unwilling to go to the rescue.

Give yourself two thousand soldiers and horses, let alone two thousand soldiers and horses, even [-] soldiers and horses can't solve the crisis in Xuzhou, so the potter said:
