Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 1009

"However, Liu Ye's talent is not inferior to that of Qi Gong. The general divorce scheme will not work for him, so our army must do both, and supplemented by rumors!"

Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "Our army will spread rumors in Liu Ye and Liu Beijun respectively, saying that Liu Bei has acquired Huainan and intends to join Yuzhou and Huainan together, stand on their own feet, and negotiate peace with our army. At the same time, we will send extraordinary soldiers to raid Luoyang and rescue. The emperor. And in Liu Beijun, it is necessary to spread that Liu Ye does not trust Liu Bei and prepares to depose Liu Bei afterwards."

"As a result, Liu Ye and Liu Bei will inevitably have a rift. Liu Bei will definitely slow down and attack Huainan, and Liu Ye will not easily start a decisive battle with our army."

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "Zicai, Zhicai, you are really my Chen Ping!"

"Thank you, Qi Gong, for the compliment, next...cough, cough, cough!"

Suddenly, Xi Zhicai coughed violently, his complexion became flushed, and Cao Cao's complexion changed drastically: "Zixiu, Zixiu! Go to the emperor and help Zhicai down, quick! Zhicai absolutely can't make any mistakes!"

Why did Guo Jia appear back then? It was precisely because of Xi Zhi that Cao Cao passed away. In grief, Cao Cao asked Xun Yu, who could replace Xi Zhi’s position. Xun Yu recommended Guo Jia to Cao Cao, which shows that Cao Cao actually regarded Guo Jia as Xi Zhi. As a substitute for talent, he naturally values ​​Xizhicai very seriously.

"Follow Zhicai's orders and do it quickly." Cao Cao ordered.

"Here!"

...

Liu Ye is in the barracks.

"Gong Qin, have you heard the rumors that came recently?" Jia Xu said to Liu Ye.

Liu Ye nodded, "I heard that it's about Liu Xuande, right?"

"That's the case, I don't know what Qin Gong thinks? I want to hear Qin Gong's thoughts next." Jia Xu said slowly.

"...Probably it was Cao Cao's divorce plan. Cao Mengde was so proficient in this trick." Liu Ye smiled.

"Xia Xia is very consistent with Qin Gong's thinking, but Xia Xia also believes that Liu Xuande has a long history of ambition and has to guard against it." Jia Xu said earnestly.

Liu Ye nodded: "Well, that's true, but our army shouldn't act too hastily. If he really makes him rebel, then the gain is not worth the loss. It's better to try one or two."

"How does Qin Gong want to test?"

"How about ordering Liu Xuande to attack Hefei quickly?"

"Also, see if Liu Xuande does not listen to the announcement, if he shows any reflections..." Jia Xu closed his mouth when he said this.

"Well, pass the order."

...

Hefei, in Liu Bei's barracks.

"General Zuo, Qin Gong has an order, please General Zuo immediately mobilize troops and horses to capture Hefei as soon as possible, and completely quell Huainan." An envoy of the Xiliang army clasped his fist to Liu Bei.

"Bei understands, please go back and tell Gong Qin that Bei will strive to win Hefei as soon as possible in order to serve the court." Liu Bei replied.

"In that case, I will truthfully report to Qi Gong, General Zuo, and leave."

After all, the envoy of the Xiliang Army went out, only Liu Guanzhang was left in the account, and Zhao Yun was not there.

"Big brother, what do you think Qin Gong thinks, don't you really doubt us?" Zhang Fei, who was outspoken, didn't have to be taboo against Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and said directly: "Qin Gong doesn't really doubt us, right?"

"It's hard to say..." Guan Yu gently stroked his long beard: "Not only Qin Gong, there are many people around him. These people will inevitably have to add oil and vinegar to Qin Gong's ears. The reason why Qin Gong orders our army to attack Hefei quickly is only I am afraid that I am suspicious and come to test our army."

Liu Bei nodded: "Chang Yun is right, but you are all my brothers. It is okay to speak frankly with you. I do feel a little dissatisfied with Qin Gong. He treats the emperor too much. How can he be a minister without authorization? Jiuxi?"

The seal of Jiuxi has always been a symbol of power and officials, and Liu Xie, the emperor, is now an adult. Before he was an adult, Liu Ye could interfere with the government. Now that Liu Xie is an adult, the emperor should be pro-government. How can Liu Ye control the government? What?

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also nodded. They only looked forward to Liu Bei's horse. After all, they have been with Liu Bei for so many years. Hearing Liu Bei's talk every day, the cocoons are almost worn out in their ears, so naturally they want to help the Han room. But Liu Ye's last name is Liu, so Liu Bei's dissatisfaction with Liu Ye is not as strong as Cao Cao.

"However, at the moment, destroying Cao thief should be the top priority. Gao Zu once said that Liu's surname was named king, and the heroes were the most princes, but Cao Cao arbitrarily named him public and established another emperor, which is even more hateful."

Liu Bei ordered: "Second brother, third brother, order to reward the soldiers. From tomorrow, the whole army will besiege Hefei on all sides, and we must take Hefei within half a month!"

"Here!"

The next day, Liu Bei's tens of thousands of Yuzhou troops gathered outside Hefei in Jiujiang mobilized and launched a fierce attack on Hefei.

"kill!"

boom! Whoosh whoosh!

I saw that tens of thousands of Yuzhou troops surrounded Hefei City on all sides without leaving any gates. Obviously they intended to persuade the Cao Army in Hefei City to not even leave the hope of escape to the other side.

The Yuzhou Army mobilized countless assault carts, thunderbolt carts, and archers to attack Hefei from all sides. Numerous first sergeants climbed from the ladder to the city wall to start a **** battle with Cao Jun.

"Archery, hurry!"

"Be sure to defend the city, not let the enemy rush in!"

With only one eye left, Xiahou Dun stood on the head of the city himself, shouting loudly, inspiring Cao's morale. Although the Yuzhou Army had a fierce offensive, because the gates on all sides were alone, Cao Jun had no way out even if he wanted to escape. Therefore, the resistance of Cao Jun in the city was very firm.

"throw!"

Countless rolling logs and stones were thrown down the city by the defenders, smashing the Yuzhou army from the ladder, making screams.

Whether it’s the Yuzhou Army attacking the city or the Cao Army defending the city, the number of casualties is increasing rapidly. Liu Bei was ordered by Liu Ye, so he ordered the Yuzhou Army to attack the city, while Cao Jun desperately defended Hefei City. Fortunately, Hefei It is a strong city second only to Shouchun, which is the reason why Xiahou Dun led his army into Hefei.

The Yuzhou Army attacked the city for a whole day, and when night fell, the camp rang out with the sound of gold, and the Yuzhou Army who was attacking the city slowly retreated, lifted the ladder back, and transported both the assault vehicle and the Thundercar back.

The originally sturdy city of Hefei, after so many days of attack by the Yuzhou army, is already riddled with holes and ruins.

"General Yuan Rang, if you continue to fight like this, I'm afraid Hefei City won't be able to support it for three days. The soldiers are seriously injured." Zhu Ling declared.

"I know, but how could he surrender?"

Xiahou Dun ordered: "The order is passed down. Give everyone an extra meal. You must be full, and you must stick to it for a few more days."
