Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 665

Yanzhou, Puyang.

Since Liu Ye returned to Luoyang, he has issued orders to open fields in various places. The Liangzhou army defeated the siege of Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and other princes. For a while, the Liangzhou army was quite quiet everywhere, thinking that there had been no fighting recently. Yu Jin therefore returned to Puyang.

"Feng Tian undertakes transportation, the emperor said, General Pingdong sits in the town of Yanzhou, and the Central Plains is the epicenter of the capital, and I am happy with it. Today I am promoted to the forbidden city as General Zhendong.

Yu Jin knelt on the ground, verbally accepted the decree, and after sending away the eunuch, stood up.

"Congratulations to the general for taking the post of Zhendong." Xu Shu said with a smile on his face.

Yu Jin waved his hand: "Thank you for the general's importance. Actually, I didn't do anything during this period, so I feel ashamed."

Over the years, Liu Ye led tens of thousands of Liangzhou troops, defeating Yuan Shao first in Hebei, then breaking Wuhuan, and went through **** battles. And Zhang Jai also defeated the powerful Nanyang land and water forces in Nanyang. He was restricted to Yanzhou. Although the soldiers and horses were mobilized, they did not experience any war.

Xu Shu smiled and said: "You don't have to be like this in Zhendong. The general ordered a large army to save grain and grass, so that in the future, troops will be sent to sweep the world, and then Zhendong will be indispensable."

Yu Jin nodded, believing himself: "My imperial master, I must be able to sweep the world."

Just when Jin was discussing with Xu Shu, a voice suddenly rang from outside.

"The villain wants to see the general."

"Come in." Xu Shu shouted.

After Xu Shu said, only a rush of footsteps sounded, a Liangzhou soldier walked in, covered in dust and dirt, obviously rushing over all the way, just to report.

"What's the matter?" Xu Shu asked.

"General, strategist." Liangzhou soldiers greeted the two with a fist, and then gasped: "Cao Junxing attacked Xuexian. The enemy's offensive was fierce, and our army suffered heavy casualties."

"Cao Jun attacked Xue County?"

Yu Jin and Xu Shu looked at each other and couldn't help but frown.

"Yeah..." Yu Jin comforted the Liangzhou soldiers: "This general knows, discuss with Xu Junshi, you go down and rest."

"Thank you for the general." The informant was grateful, he walked all the way and looked tired, and was immediately led by a guard to go down to rest.

"Really strange." Xu Shu frowned and said, "How could Cao Cao choose to attack our army at this moment?"

"When Yuan Shao and Liu Biao attacked our army, it was the best time for Cao Cao to send troops." Xu Shu explained to Jin: "Yuan Shao and Liu Biao were both attacking our army. Our army had already had some difficulties in supplying food and grass. When attacking Yanzhou at this time, our army must start a three-way war. Any difference in any way is extremely deadly, but Cao Cao did not send troops."

"Now that the battle of Yecheng has come to an end, and the general is still in Luoyang, why did Cao Cao attack Xuexian instead?" Xu Shu wondered.

Yu Jin also frowned: "Yes, Cao Cao has always been cunning and wise, how could he choose to send troops at this time? Does he think that Cao Jun can compete with my imperial royal master alone?"

Xue County is located at the junction of Lu State and Pengcheng County, and also at the junction of Yanzhou and Xuzhou. If Cao Cao wants to enter Yanzhou, he must take Xue County.

But why Cao Cao chose to march into Xue County at this time caused Xu Shu and Yu Jin to be puzzled. Why didn't Cao Cao attack Yanzhou when the Liangzhou army was fighting on several sides, but chose this opportunity instead?

"Cao Cao must have planned something else!" Xu Shu affirmed.

"Yeah." Yu Jin nodded, expressing affirmation.

"But what is the real purpose of Cao Cao?" Xu Shu fell into contemplation, but couldn't think about it for a while.

"No matter what, you have to send troops to support Xue County first." Yu Jin frowned, "Xue County has no more than a thousand soldiers, and it will not last a few days under the onslaught of Cao Jun. You must send troops to support you as soon as possible."

Yu Jin told Xu Shu: "I don't know how many people Cao Jun sent, so Ben General personally led 10,000 troops to support Xue County to see what Cao Cao's idea was."

State Lu, Xue County.

"kill!"

The loud shouts and killings shook the world. Outside of Xue County, nearly 10,000 Cao troops lined up in several thousands of troops. Nearly 10,000 Cao troops were wearing blue military uniforms, floating with the strong wind, for a moment. It seemed to be a blue sea that surrounded Xue County.

Thousands of Cao Jun erected a ladder and threatened Xuexian city wall.

boom!

The ladder was erected and landed heavily on the city wall of Xue County. The iron hook protruding from the upper end firmly grasped the bricks of the city wall. Such a ladder is a siege weapon.

For the enemy's siege ladder, the defender can use a striker to break it away, but this kind of ladder with an iron hook is not good, because the hook firmly hooks the city wall.

咚咚咚!

Thousands of Cao Jun were all boiled with enthusiasm and climbed on the cloud ladder to launch a fierce attack on Xue County. Thousands of Cao Jun bit steel knives in his mouth, with a leather shield tied to his arm, climbing up with his hands and feet together.

"Cao Jun has attacked the city!"

"Pour golden juice!"

Upon hearing the words, the guards of the Yanzhou Army above the head of the city turned a large tank that was emitting hot air upside down.

boom! The liquid in the big tank was dark yellow, and it had been cooked at a high temperature just now, so there was hot air, and suddenly it was under the hood. Cao Jun, who was poured with gold juice, suddenly screamed, and his leather armor was scalded by the hot gold juice immediately, revealing its bones.

The temperature of the gold juice is boiling, and it is cooked with feces at a high temperature. At this time, after pouring it down, it will naturally explode the flesh of the army of the siege party. Even if he was not scalded to death by gold juice for a while, he would be infected and die later, and there is basically no solution in this era, it can be said to be mortal.

Although some of the colleagues around him made inhuman screams, the fighting will of these Cao Jun was extremely tough, so they gritted their teeth and continued to climb.

Although the golden juice is a weapon for defending the city, there is not much of it on the castle tower, and there will be no more when it is used up.

At this time, nearly a thousand Cao Jun had already rushed to the top of the tower very quickly, showing the ring-head sword in his hand.

"kill!"

One by one, the Cao army ascending to the top of the city was like a tiger going down the mountain, going out to the sea dragon, and their morale was greatly boosted. On the other hand, the defenders of Xue County were just ordinary county soldiers, not elite field soldiers of the Liangzhou Army. When they saw Cao Jun, they were all feared like tigers and wolves.

"Cao Jun is here!"

"Everyone hold on, don't let the enemy occupy the city."

Although the county soldiers in the city struggled to resist, more and more soldiers from the Cao Army came up from the ladder and gradually covered the city. More and more county soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

After Cao Jun killed all the soldiers on the front of the city, he rushed into Xue County.
