Chapter 634: The siege of Rijiu City is finally broken

The Qin army surrounded Shouchun City for more than a year. (, "") During this period, Liu Zhang sent Zhang Fei and Ma Chao to constantly attack Yuzhou, cutting off the connection between Jiangdong and Cao's army several times, and even robbed a lot of food and grass.

Although Cao Jun had hoarded a lot of grain and grass in Shouchun, there were not only Cao Jun but also people in Shouchun City. There had been no production for a year, and the people had begun to live on military rations.

"Military advisor, this is not the way to go!" Taking the situation reported by the quartermaster, Jiang Ji found Sima Yi. But there was a large group of people standing in front of Sima Yi. Since Cao Cao's headache relapsed, all military and political affairs were under the control of Sima Yi, leaving Sima Yi to

Very busy and exhausted.

"Second Young Master is responsible for government affairs, why did he come to me again!" Sima Yi threw away a piece of information in his hand, feeling helpless. He even regretted it. Looking at the large number of affairs in front of him, he felt powerless!

"Commander, the Qin army's weapons have ruined the city. You have to think of a way!" Before Sima Yi could finish speaking, another general called out.

"Go to the military to find the eldest son, don't you understand?" Sima Yi glanced at the general and pushed him to Cao Ang.

"It's the eldest son who asked me to come to you!" The general did his part and refused to play ball with his eyes wide open.

Sima Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. If he didn't know about Cao Ang, Cao Pi really had no choice. He would have thought that the two of them were perfunctory with him. Since half a year ago, the two young masters have completely become his subordinates, only responsible for executing orders, but they...

He is also a clever woman who cannot make a meal without rice. Seeing a group of civil and military officials in front of him, making the meeting hall look like a vegetable market, he wished he could imitate Cao Cao and lie down on the couch with his headband wrapped around him, pretending to have a headache!

"That's enough!" Sima Yi couldn't stand it anymore. He slapped the table and said, "How unbecoming is it to act in a panic? People who don't know better would think that the Qin army has entered the city. Come one by one, starting with Jiang Ji!"

"I am reporting to the military advisor that there are too many people in the city and the military rations are being consumed too quickly. The military rations from Jiangdong are often unable to be transported. If this continues, our army will not be able to defend for long!" Jiang Ji quickly reported the situation, which shocked everyone.

.Indeed, military food is the most important thing. Without food and grass, Shouchun will never be able to defend it!

"Zitong, what do you think we should do?" Sima Yi was indeed resourceful, but he couldn't conjure food out of thin air!

"Are some people driven out of the city?" After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Jicai gave an answer that even he himself doubted!

"The people are the foundation of the army. If there is no popular support, what else can we do?" Sima Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. Driving the people out of the city was never a good idea.

"But now, our army can no longer support so many people!" Jiang Ji shrugged his shoulders. If there was a way, he would not make such a move!

A general said self-righteously: "Military advisor, I remember that Liu Xie is Liu Zhang's nephew. Why don't we exchange Liu Xie for food? If Liu Zhang doesn't give us food, we will kill Liu Xie and let Liu Zhang bear the name of injustice!"

"Stupid!" Sima Yi said: "Everyone in the world knows that Liu Zhang and Liu Xie are at odds with each other. Besides, even if Liu Zhang really cares about Liu Xie, he will not be threatened by this! Zi Tong, you first bring the old people in the city.

Drive them out of the city weakly to save military supplies!"

"Yes!" Jiang Ji accepted the order, turned around and left. He wanted to drive the old and the weak out of the city before the meal. With the current situation in Shouchun City, any meal that can be saved is a meal!

"Military advisor, the city was smashed into a mess by the Qin army. What should we do?" The general who had been arguing for a long time finally intervened and quickly asked!

"Mobile all the young men in the city to go to the city!" Sima Yi rubbed his brows and said in a deep voice: "Repair the city wall as soon as possible to block the Qin army's attack."

"Yes!" The general cupped his hands and left excitedly. He had wanted to do this for a long time, but he didn't dare to give the order. Cao Cao also had a good grasp of the people's hearts and morale!

One matter after another was quickly resolved in Sima Yi's hands, and the meeting hall gradually became empty. After everything was resolved, Sima Yi slumped in his chair. He felt a little uncertain about his future. Since arriving at Shouchun City a year ago,

The Qin army had never attacked once, but Shouchun was gradually declining. He really couldn't imagine when Shouchun City would be breached!

After leaning on the chair, Jiang Ji gathered the old and weak people in Shouchun City before he could relax for a long time. The exhausted Sima Yi led a few generals to drive the old and weak people out of the city, but those generals naively suggested that they follow Lao

They were weak and launched an attack on the Qin army, but they were dumbfounded when they saw the Qin army waiting in full formation.

Liu Zhang never criticized the people harshly. He immediately arranged for people to send these Shouchun people to Luoyang. Not only that, he also distributed rations to prevent anyone from starving to death! The people who were abandoned by Cao Jun were grateful. Under the propaganda of Qin Jun,

They knew what kind of life they would have, and they all looked forward to a better life. In fact, if it weren't for Cao Cao's strict control, they would have fled long ago!

The people lost their support, Sun Quan was blocked by Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, and Shouchun became an isolated city. Under the strong attack of the Qin army, it gradually collapsed. Finally, after half a year, Shouchun city wall could no longer be repaired, and the northern wall completely collapsed.

.The Qin army, led by Liu Zhang, entered Shouchun City!

"Surround Cao Cao's residence, surround the palace!" Qin soldiers shouted and rushed into Shouchun City with their weapons raised high.

Huang Zhong led his troops to surround the palace, while Liu Zhang arrived at Cao Cao's residence. Looking at Cao Cao's soldiers who were still standing at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Dian Wei strode forward and said, "Those who abandon their weapons and surrender will not be killed!"

Sergeant Cao looked at me and I looked at you, but no one put down their weapons. Just when Dian Wei was about to give the order to shoot these soldiers, a voice shouted: "Everyone put down their weapons!"

After receiving the order, Cao's soldiers threw their weapons on the ground. Dian Wei immediately ordered people to collect the weapons and tie up Cao's soldiers. At this time, the person who ordered the soldiers to surrender came out. He cupped his hands and said, "I've seen you before."

Uncle Liu!"

Seeing the visitor's green shirt fluttering and a bookish look on his face, Liu Zhang couldn't help but admire him. He smiled and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am Cao Chong, courtesy name Cangshu!" The visitor smiled slightly and bowed: "My nephew is my father's seventh son. I owe you the life-saving grace of my uncle!"

"It turns out it's you!" The story of Cao Chong's title of Xiang has become almost a household name in later generations. Liu Zhang knew this name since he was a child and had felt sorry for him many times. When the medical school had just made some achievements, Liu Zhang sent a medical expert to Xuchang, and it happened to be

Saved his life!

"Cao Chong asked with a smile: Uncle came to Shouchun today, do you want to kill all the Cao family?"

"Of course not!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Gu had an appointment with Brother Meng De back then. Whoever loses will join the other party. Now, although Gu has invaded Shouchun, he still wants Brother Meng De to assist him, so how can he kill him?

All of the Cao family? Of course, if you refuse to surrender or are very ambitious, I will not tolerate it!"

"I'm afraid my uncle's plan will come to nothing!" Cao Chong said with a bitter smile: "Since the defeat at Xuchang two years ago, my father's headache has been recurring. Now, he is dying and in danger, and I really can't help you..."

Liu Zhang was surprised and asked: "I sent a doctor to Shouchun alone, how could this happen again?"

"Uncle, my father doesn't dare to use your doctor, nor does he want to use it!" Cao Chong smiled bitterly and told Liu Zhang about Peng Yi's mission. Although he didn't add any jealousy, there was still some complaint in his tone!

"It's all Gu's fault!" Liu Zhang asked, "Xiannephew, your father is not dead yet!"

"He's not dead, he's about to die!" Cao Chong was also a little helpless. If Cao Cao didn't receive treatment, he would definitely die!

"Let's go and take a look!" Liu Zhang took Cao Chong's hand and was about to walk into the mansion, but Cao Chong held him back.

"Uncle, don't be anxious. Please order first to protect my eldest brother's mansion. All my Cao family members are there!" As the saying goes: random soldiers are like bandits. Looking at the approaching Qin army, Cao Chong couldn't help but feel worried.

"It's okay!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Gu's army is no better than that of other princes. No one dares to enter the residences of the city without authorization. They will only be surrounded by everyone!"

"This..." Cao Chong hesitated and said, "Uncle, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are just afraid of the worst. Please think twice..."

"Dianman!" Seeing Cao Chong's unwillingness to comply, Liu Zhang ordered: "Chuang Gu ordered that all soldiers are not allowed to step into the Cao family's mansion. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

"General, I obey!" Noriman rode away with dozens of tiger guards, shouting Liu Zhang's orders as they ran.

After Dianman left, Liu Zhang looked at Cao Chong with a smile and asked, "Are you satisfied with this?"

Cao Chong saluted and said: "Thank you very much, uncle, please come into the house!"

"Your Majesty..." Seeing Liu Zhang about to enter the palace, Dian Wei stopped him and said, "Beware of fraud!"

"Don't worry, Old Dian. The victory has been decided now. Cao Cao can afford to lose!" After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he strode into Cao's mansion, followed closely by Dian Wei.

Walking beside Cao Chong, Dian Wei warned him gently in his ear with a ferocious face: "Boy, if you dare to play tricks, I promise to tear you apart!"

"General Dian's reputation has been spread all over the world, how can I not know it? Don't worry, I can't bear your anger, and the Cao family can't bear the Qin army's anger!" Looking at Dian Wei's fierce face, Cao Chong's expression changed.

He was a little pale and his legs were trembling. The look made Liu Zhang couldn't help but shake his head.

To be honest, among Cao Cao's dozens of sons, the only one who is truly successful is Cao Zhang, who was a general. He made great contributions to the Cao family through his campaigns in the south and north! Cao Chong is indeed smart, but he is less courageous. Cao Cao

When he was younger, he dared to deceive his father and uncle. When he was as old as him, he dared to steal other people's brides with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu!

As for Cao Ang and Cao Zhi, one is too benevolent and the other is too arrogant. They are not wise masters. Cao Pi, who succeeded Cao Cao, can only be regarded as the best among the short ones. When he became the emperor, he immediately treated his father

Sima Yi's policies had changed. If he hadn't compromised with the aristocratic family and adopted Chen Qun's nine-level Zhongzheng system, it would have been really difficult for Sima Yi to usurp the Cao family's position.
