165.

Two months later, Cao Cao moved the rocks and forests on all sides of Jizhou. The soldiers guarding the city, Yuan Shao and Tian Feng, were also observing the movements of Cao's army, and had no idea what Cao Cao was doing.

Tian Feng said: "From the amount of logs they logged and the rocks they purchased, they can improve the area of ​​more than 100 meters in the city wall of Jizhou. It seems that Cao Jun wants to use brute force."

On this day, Cao Cao inspected the construction results of the army in the past two months. Thousands of catapults and countless stones from two mountains were piled up at a hundred steps from the Jizhou city wall. Cao Cao was very happy to see it.

Tian Feng saw that he was about to start attacking, but in this case, our army would just leave the right number of people, and the rest would be pulled a hundred steps away from the city wall, because the distance between the catapults was only between two hundred and two hundred and fifty steps!

In the evening, Cao Cao discussed matters with the general in the tent. Cao Cao said, "I want to know tomorrow. Our army will attack Jizhou and take down Jizhou City within two days."

The soldiers have been chiseling stones for the past two months. They are a little tired, but they are laying the foundation for their lives to live longer. They can finally officially fight against Yuan Shao, Jizhou!

Cao Cao looked at the excited eyes of the generals and said, "Now I am deploying combat mission assignments."

"Tomorrow, our army will first throw stones under the city of Jizhou. We must make every stone hit the city wall of Jizhou. We must start from one point. It is best to throw ten cars at one point. If we are lucky, we may break the city wall. We may not necessarily build a land slope for us. Our army can step on the stone and kill the city. Then let the archers move forward fifty meters forward and start to arrow into the city. Then let the assault troops and horses enter the city. As long as there is chaos in the city, our army can cover up and kill, and Jizhou can be determined."

After hearing this, Dian Wei laughed and said, "Prime Minister, who made a plan? Although it can be said to be a land attack, it does not mean a land attack."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "It was the plan of my child Cao Chong. Although he was small, this plan was practical and very good."

Brother Xiahou said: "The little prince is so smart. Who can be an enemy of us in the world? He must dismember him from the five horses."

Cao Cao said: "Go and prepare and allocate people."

When Cao Cao was the only one left in the tent, Cao Cao thought that Yuan Shao would be dead this time. If he could still live, it would be that Yuan Shao's destiny had not yet arrived.

The next day, Cao Cao personally led an army of 150,000 to start plundering the formation. The city guards on the city looked at the feeling that the formation might be siege the city, and ran directly to the prefect's mansion and saw Tian Feng and Yuan Shao chatting together.

The city guards knelt down and said, "Lord, go and have a look. The Cao army outside the city may be about to attack the city. They have already lined up and are ready to go."

When Tian Feng and Yuan Shao heard this, they immediately stood up and went to the city wall.

When Tian Feng saw the formation of Cao's army, he lined up in a row, and thousands of catapults were also lined up. At the forefront of the formation, he was ready and waited for Cao Cao to launch it.

Tian Feng looked carefully at the archers behind the catapult cart, and light cavalry and light-armed soldiers behind them, but there were no ladders or tools for climbing the city wall in his hand. Tian Feng laughed wildly and said, "Lord, look carefully. There are no ladders and ropes in Cao's formation, nor do they hit the door cart. How could this be possible to enter the city? I saw that Cao Cao's mind might have been in the water!"

After hearing this, Yuan Shao looked carefully and did not find any ladders or rope climbing. Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Is Cao Cao crazy? Why do you want to capture my Jizhou without ladders? Then I am not as good as paper."

Yuan Shao summoned Yan Liang and Wen Chou to lead the army to defend the city.

A spy from Cao Cao came out and shouted under the city: "Where is Yuan Shao? My prime minister wants to gather with Yuan Shao to reminisce about the past." The soldiers on the city saw Cao's soldiers put a table and two wooden benches fifty meters below the city! There was also a jar of wine and two bowls!

Cao Cao slowly walked to the table alone, then sat down, poured wine into two bowls, and said, "Brother Benchu, I suddenly talk to you here. If I don't sigh this time, I'm afraid that we will not sit together and talk in the future. Think about how we fought Dong Zhuo together. I admire Brother Benchu's hero, so I gave up wine here and drank a few glasses with Brother Benchu, and then we were in the same way!"

Tian Feng said: "Lord, don't go, just to prevent fraud."

Yuan Shao thought for a moment and said, "Even if I, Yuan Shao, will not be scared to death by Cao Cao. If I have any accidents, the entire army must obey Tian Feng's deployment."

Yuan Shao heroically went down the city wall, opened a crack at the gate, and Yuan Shao walked out alone.

Cao Cao admired him very much at this moment. If it were him, Cao Cao would definitely not come down to reminisce with others. He was afraid of death. Of course, Cao Cao was afraid of death, that was certain!

Yuan Shao walked to Cao Cao and said, "Meng De is getting stronger day by day. I think that he was a descendant of a businessman from the Cao family, but now he has become a overlord, which can be regarded as adding glory to his ancestors." (Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng was an eunuch. Cao Teng adopted an adopted son Cao Song. Cao Song was originally surnamed Xiahou and later changed his surname to Cao. Cao Song adopted Cao Cao. This was a satirical example of Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng)

Cao Cao stood up, walked to Yuan Shao and said politely: "Brother Benchu, please."

Yuan Shao said: "Aren't you the prime minister of the court? Why did you say to me if you accept me?"

Cao Cao said: "Brother Benchu ​​and I are older, and I, Cao Cao, should respect me, and I, should respect you. Moreover, people say that my name is the Prime Minister of Han, but I am actually a thief in Han."

After Yuan Shao sat down with a smile.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Yes, I, Cao Cao, are now the overlord. Don't ask whether the heroes are from the source. No matter what, my Cao family or Xiahou family are not as good as the fourth generation of the three dukes of your Yuan family, but they are only four generations of the three dukes" (This is to say that three generations of the Yuan family have been regarded as dukes and received the emperor's favor, but they have passed through this generation. There will be no fifth generation of the four dukes!)

After Cao Cao said that, he picked up the wine glass and said, "We are sitting here today. We don't want to say what each other is doing. I'm here to say a few words to you."

Yuan Shao shouted, "What do you and I have to say in my heart!"

Cao Cao said, "The relationship between us has been long and we have been intimate since childhood. I remember when my brother led me to play in Luoyang City, hunting during the day and having fun at night. It was so happy that day, it was so exciting. Sometimes I think, how great it would be if this person never grew up."

Yuan Shao said: "Meng De is so embarrassed to say those ugly things."

"People cannot forget their roots, and they cannot deny their previous ugly deeds just because you and I are important officials of the court. As the saying goes, "Who can be without mistakes if a person is not a sage?"."

Yuan Shao said: "Meng De, I am not nostalgic to you. If you have anything to say, hurry up and say it."

Cao Cao said: "This time my brother Guandu defeated me, and now Jizhou is training troops. If we do the opposite, what should you do!"

Yuan Shao said happily: "Strike it"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Then I will listen to what my brother said and attacked him."

Cao Cao stood up and picked up the wine on the table and said, "No matter who wins and who loses, what if we drink this glass first?"

After the two of them drank it all in one go, Cao Cao threw the wine bowl on the ground and turned toward his army. Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao's back, thinking about his heroic spirit back then, thinking about himself now, turned around and threw the wine on the ground and returned to Jizhou City!
