The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Now the sergeants in the city were all overcast, fearing that Liu Ke would come to capture Pengyang after cleaning up the mess.

Because all the cities in the south of Beidi County have now belonged to Liu Ke, and several cities in Anding County have also been occupied by him.

Now in this large area, there is only one city of Pengyang, which is still owned by Cao Jun.

In this situation, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to let it go on for a long time, and it must be subdued as soon as possible.

Therefore, Wang Ling's heart became more and more anxious.

Want to resist, with only 30 soldiers in hand, how can it be possible to compete with the opponent's [-] army?

But if you abandon the city and flee, you will inevitably be severely punished.

After all, no matter at what time, the military law received by fleeing without fighting is the most serious.

Wang Ling even thought of surrendering to Liu Ke directly.

He was born in the famous Wang family in Taiyuan, and now he belongs to Liu Ke's territory, and many people in the family work under Liu Ke.

But Wang Ling is a proud man and has always strictly respected Confucian dogma. How could he act against the master?

Just when Wang Ling was in a situation where he had to make a difficult decision, his sergeant suddenly rushed in to report.

"Report, my lord, the scouts investigated and discovered the movement of Liu Ke's army twenty miles to the south of the city. It is expected to arrive at the city tomorrow!"

"What... what?! It came so fast!" Wang Ling was shocked when he heard this, and murmured to himself.

Afterwards, he finally came to his senses, and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up, hurry up and order the whole city to be alert and take precautions!"

His subordinates took orders to leave, but Wang Ling was still apprehensive, and kept pacing the room, thinking about the countermeasures.

At this time, Cao Cao's army finally arrived at the city.

The city had just received the news that Liu Ke's army was about to attack, and saw such an army approaching the city, how could it not be nervous?

Therefore, the siren sounded instantly on the top of the city, and the whole city hurriedly got ready.

The harsh siren woke Wang Ling up immediately, and he rushed to the top of the city to check the situation.

Seeing a team slowly approaching not far away, the number of people was less than [-], which made Wang Ling feel relieved.

I saw a small group of people walking out of the team and quickly came to the front of the city.

He shouted to the city: "The guard of the city, open the city gate!"

Seeing this, Wang Ling said unceremoniously: "Who are you? You invaded my city. Don't retreat quickly, be careful to serve you with bows and arrows!"

Originally, both parties were dressed in the same clothes, so Wang Ling should have recognized them from the very beginning.

But after several days of marching in the deep mountains and old forests, Cao Jun's clothes were also hung in tatters.

Now I can't find a few well-dressed ones, all of them are like beggars fleeing from a refugee.

It was no wonder that even Wang Ling looked down on him.

However, as soon as Wang Ling spoke, Cao Zhang recognized his voice.

The two had a little friendship on weekdays, so Cao Zhang hurriedly said, "Is Yanyun in the city? Don't you even know me?"

When Wang Ling heard this, he was shocked, and quickly went to the top of the city to check.

At this moment, Cao Zhang also took off his helmet, tidied up his appearance a little bit, and wiped off the blood on his face before Wang Ling finally recognized him.

"Ha, it's Ziwen? Why do you look like this? I almost didn't recognize it before."

Seeing that it was Cao Zhang, Wang Ling hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened.

When he heard that Wei Wang Cao Cao was also behind, he rushed down to the city in fright and went to the roadside to greet him in person.

Cao Cao did not blame Wang Ling for making things difficult at the beginning, but praised him for being so cautious.

And Wang Ling's face was also very excited.

It's not that he was appreciated by the king of Wei, but because now that the king of Wei has entered the city, the burden on his shoulders can finally be handed over.

It turned out that Wang Ling was entangled in whether to fight, surrender or flee.

Now he doesn't need to worry about all this anymore, everything can be arranged by the king.

So Wang Ling simply handed over the entire city defense to Cao Zhang, and stayed in front of the tent to listen to it.

The first thousand and 440 chapters and three chapters after Shi Huan broke

After Cao Cao entered Pengyang City, he finally escaped the opponent's pursuit temporarily.

And Dian Wei is still circling in the deep mountains at this moment.

Because Cao Junxue became smart later, and created many false clues to confuse Dian Wei.

I'm afraid he will have to turn inside for a few more days before he can leave.

It's just that Wang Ling rushed another army from the main road, and after telling Cao Cao the news that he was about to arrive tomorrow, he became nervous again.

Cao Cao knew in his heart that the fighting spirit of the soldiers in his hands had already been wiped out at this moment, and they could not resist the opponent's attack at all.

So he immediately understood that it seemed that Peng Yangcheng couldn't stay any longer, and he had to make preparations early.

But this sentence cannot be said by him personally, otherwise it will definitely hurt morale even more.
