My husband Zhuge Kongming

Chapter 498 496 Cao Cao’s Temptation

Thinking of his age, Cao Cao touched his beard and hair again.

Early on, his hair and beard began to turn gray.

After another calculation, he is already fifty-four this year.

This age is indeed old, and he has already become a grandfather.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's frown relaxed a little. After fighting for so many years, he could hardly sleep at night before. Now he only needs to pacify the south, so that he can amuse his grandson and enjoy his family.

He also had to complete these roads as soon as possible, so that his son and grandchildren could have an easier time.

It doesn't matter if the Tibetan Army Road is discovered. It just takes a little more effort to get Xuchang back.

He didn't think that Zhao Zilong could stop him from going south.

Xuchang was not only the place he had managed for many years, but also the place where Xiahou Dun's soul was lost. He had to take it back and pay homage to Xiahou Dun.

"Yuan Rang, just watch, this revenge will be avenged."

The next morning.

After having a good meal, Cao Jun, under the orders of their superiors, surrounded the east, west and north of Xuchang.

Cao Chun had been preparing for siege equipment such as ladders, ramming logs, and trebuchets since the day Xuchang was lost.

Furthermore, although the exits of the underground tunnel are blocked, it is not impossible to open a new exit in them.

There are many skilled craftsmen in his hands.

Otherwise, the Tibetan Army Road cannot be built, but it will take time.

But the [-] soldiers Liu Bei took away from Xuchang would not wait for him long, so he had already given orders to the craftsmen in the morning.

Now, he wanted to see how the other party would defend Xuchang City.

On the north wall of Xuchang City, Zhuge Liang and Xiang Chong were sitting opposite each other drinking tea.

"Cao's army is worthy of being a victorious army." Zhuge Liang sighed as he looked at Cao's army arrayed below the city.

This kind of army should be Cao Cao's elite troops. At a glance, the momentum is beyond the comparison of ordinary soldiers.

"Yes." Xiang Chong nodded in agreement and added, "But our city defense troops and combat experience are not as good as the other side."

"We are defending the city, and we have the advantage of having soldiers and armor. What should we worry about?" Zhuge Liang smiled and looked at the white-robed generals in front of him. What's more, although Zhao Yun is not as famous as Guan and Zhang, he is brave and courageous. Po, no less than two people.

With such a general guarding the city, he had nothing to worry about.

In today's battle, Quan should be training his troops. Cao Cao couldn't attack, and he didn't plan to let Cao Cao retreat immediately.

At three o'clock in the morning, Cao Jun began a three-sided attack. All kinds of siege equipment were used in turn, making a lot of noise.

But Zhao Yun was in the middle and commanded well, forcing none of Cao's troops, who were also wearing iron armor, to climb the city wall.

But within a quarter of an hour after the attack started, Cao Jun withdrew his troops.

Zhao Yun was stunned when he saw this, and almost led his troops to fight out, but then he realized that they had more troops than he had here!
"Military advisor!" Zhao Yun looked at Zhuge Liang and asked about the current situation.

"Thief Cao just wants to see the situation. So far, it seems that he is quite satisfied with the results." Zhuge Liang smiled, "It seems that the orders from Achu will increase again."

Xiang Chong smiled bitterly, Huang Yueying was the one pulling the strings on this matter, taking out Cao Cao's pocket.

"What about now?" Zhao Yun continued to ask.

"There's no rush." ​​Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, "We'll see after the craftsmen equip all the defensive weapons."

under the city.

Cao Cao saw the attack and did not care about the result.

What he cares about is the difference between the soldiers on his side who have put on iron armor and those on the opposite side who are wearing iron armor.

Judging from the style alone, the opponent's armor was more detailed, while the one he bought from Jiangdong was rougher.He can probably understand the advantages of these differences, and the other party will be able to act more freely.

As for the collision of weapons, no obvious gap has been found yet.

At least, the two sides were still fighting back and forth.

After watching for only a quarter of an hour, Cao Cao ordered the gold medal. He had spent a lot of money to buy these armors, and he was heartbroken to lose one of them.

For now, he felt that the armor bought from Jiangdong was not much different from what Liu Bei was equipped with.

In this case, there is no need to test it again.

"Prime Minister." Cao Chun drove his horse to Cao Cao's side, "The craftsmen have achieved results."

Cao Cao nodded, "Go and execute it now. Just send ordinary soldiers to pretend to attack the city and attract their attention."

"No." Cao Chun agreed.

At the same time, the news that Luoyang was captured by Liu Bei slowly spread to various places. Among them, Xiangyang was the fastest place to get the news.

The Jingzhou aristocratic families were overjoyed, which showed that Liu Bei was really capable and could, in Cao Cao's hands, regain the former Han capital Chang'an and the current capitals Luoyang and Xuchang step by step.

Their choice as Jingzhou Mu was absolutely right!

And this news also shocked the small aristocratic families who secretly wanted to rely on Liu Qi and others to make further progress.

"General Zuo is so brave, Master Qi really can't compare to him!"

"I can't compare, and I have never thought of competing with General Zuo! General Zuo, you should be in a higher position!" Someone reacted immediately.

"So, Mr. Qi can take the position of Jingzhou Mu!"

"Extremely!"

"But others won't agree."

"Therefore, this matter needs to be discussed carefully. With General Zuo's current reputation, he no longer needs the position of Jingzhou Shepherd. Cao Cao leads the Prime Minister himself. I'll look down and ask General Zuo to take up the post of general!"

"Not bad!"

"good idea!"

Cai family.

Cai Mao looked at the news from the front line with a smile on his face.

Liu Bei is indeed good. He has reached the present step by step. With his current reputation, aristocratic families from all over the world must follow him.

And the Cai family will be honored for at least a hundred years because of their close relationship.

According to Achu, Liu Chan has made great progress in his studies recently, and what Liu Chan said before about asking various aristocratic families to send money and gifts to Liu Bei was also done very well.

A large monument was erected in Xuchang. The money, food, and people contributed by each family were recorded on it, which was used to purchase anti-Cao supplies. The accounts were made public and could be viewed by the common people.

It's done in an elegant way.

Such a seedling is likely to become the heir after Liu Bei aspires to that position.

As for the plans of some small aristocratic families, he was also very clear about it. It was a pity that as Liu Bei slowly grew bigger step by step, the position of Jingzhou Mu would not be occupied by brothers Liu Qi.

The Cai family is now at the top of Jingzhou, why can't they still be the guardians of the emperor?
As for the news about Cao Cao's siege of Xuchang, he also found out through Huang Yueying's channels, but Huang Yueying also told him not to worry, Zhuge Liang was there.

At this time, he realized that although the husband chosen by his niece was not showy, his strength was probably no less than that of his niece.

Besides, people from each family have already been sent, so why should he worry?
Although Cao Cao was strong in the north, he still had to hit a wall when he reached the south.

Taking a long breath, Cai Hao put down the letter in his hand. He was very happy with this feeling of sitting back and watching the world change and controlling everything.

For today's portion, ask for all kinds.
