The defenders of Beihai City knew that if they did not fight back, the enemy would definitely break through the city, and then they would be at the mercy of others.

Cao Hong braved the rain of arrows and stepped forward to push out the ladder built on the city wall near him.

Cao's soldiers followed their general and pushed out all the ladders and ladders on the city wall.

The defenders began to fight back, and they poured hot gold juice on the enemy. The wood rolled down, killing many of Guan Yu's soldiers.

The archers of the defenders began to show off their power and kept shooting arrows at the enemy.

The tenacity of the defenders blocked the first wave of siege troops, causing Guan Yu's troops to stagnate.

Guan Yu's first wave of attacks was ineffective.

After taking a look at the situation, Guo Tu suggested: "It seems that the number of troops in Beihai City is really low. General Guan, in my opinion, our army can all attack now and capture Beihai as soon as possible. Otherwise,

When the reinforcements from Xuzhou arrive, we will be in danger."

"Send multiple teams of scouts to check whether there are enemy troops coming to rescue Xuzhou!" Guan Yu immediately ordered.

"The general has already sent out several teams of scouts. The scouts reported that no enemy troops came to rescue." Guan Yu had no need to give orders for the dispatch of scouts. Hou Cheng had already arranged it.

"Be careful, expand the search scope!" Guan Yu didn't believe that Xuzhou didn't send reinforcements.

Guo Tuhou Cheng thought the same. Cao Cao would definitely issue a rescue order, and Chen Deng, the governor of Xuzhou, was not a simple person. If there were no reinforcements, there would definitely be a conspiracy.

So is the reality what Guan Yu and others thought?

actually not.

Chen Deng, the governor of Xuzhou, was lying on the bed now, his face was sallow, and he looked like a dying man. The elderly Chen Gui was sitting beside him with a look of despair.

Chen Deng is dying.

Chen Deng, who has no bad habits, has a quirk, that is, he likes to eat raw meat, and raw fish is his favorite. In ancient times, the environment was not too polluted, and fish was relatively delicious. The habit of eating raw fish in coastal areas has been around since ancient times.

Yes. There are many parasites in raw meat. Is there any knowledge about this in ancient times? If you eat it occasionally, there is no problem. But Chen Deng ate it every day and every meal, and there were more and more parasites in his body.

Once upon a time, Chen Deng fell ill because of this. Fortunately, he met a miracle doctor who treated him and vomited out a large number of worms. The miracle doctor told Chen Deng not to eat raw meat anymore, and to take medicine regularly to expel the worm eggs from his body. Otherwise,

If the disease occurs again, even gods will be unable to save him.

But Chen Deng felt that there was nothing wrong with him, and he couldn't control his mouth, so he ignored the miracle doctor's instructions.

As time went by, Chen Deng had more and more parasites in his body. His body collapsed and began to spit out parasites. It only took one day from the time he was sent to the army to become bedridden.

Chen Deng then remembered the advice of the miracle doctor back then, and secretly regretted that he had not listened to good advice. When Chen Deng saw Chen Deng like this, he knew that his condition was the same as before. Chen Gui realized the seriousness of the problem and went crazy.

He searched for famous doctors, but no one could cure him. All the doctors politely asked Chen Gui to prepare for his funeral.

Chen Gui suddenly aged ten years, as if he could fall down at any time. He was such a precious son, and he actually wanted a white-haired man to give away a black-haired man. Seeing the previously high-spirited Chen Deng now lying on the bed waiting to die, Chen Gui couldn't help but feel

Tears were streaming down his face, and he really wished he was the one lying on the bed waiting to die.

"Oh my god, what's going on!" Chen Gui looked up to the sky and cried bitterly.

The Xuzhou family was overjoyed when they heard that Chen Deng was terminally ill. Chen Deng's talent was unparalleled in Xuzhou. He won Cao Cao's trust and was appointed as the governor of Xuzhou. The Chen family relied on Chen Deng to consolidate their position as Xuzhou's No. 1 governor.

The status of a family. I originally thought that with the existence of Chen Deng, other families had no hope in Xuzhou. Unexpectedly, God opened his eyes and wanted to take Chen Deng back, and then other families would have hope. They began to stretch themselves out

The greedy hand that has been hidden for a long time is ready to seek profits.

Among them, the most powerful person who robs power is Cao Bao, the head of the Cao family. He has been eyeing the position of Xuzhou governor for a long time. Now Chen Deng is ill and Chen Gui is sad and unable to take charge. How could Cao Bao pass up such a good opportunity?

Ah! The power of the entire Xuzhou was slowly usurped by Cao Bao. Seeing that Cao Bao was determined to win, other aristocratic families began to restrain themselves. They could not compete with Cao Bao's tyranny.

However, as soon as Cao Cao's order to rescue Beihai arrived, Cao Bao stopped his actions and even handed over all the real power he had previously obtained.

Cao Bao knew how much he weighed. Now that Guan Yu's army has entered Beihai, Cao Cao ordered Xuzhou to send troops to rescue. If he seizes control of Xuzhou at this time, then he will lead his troops to attack Guan Yu.

Cao Bao was very clear about Guan Yu's bravery. When fighting Guan Yu, Cao Bao knew that he would definitely lose. At the same time, when Liu Bei was the governor, Cao Bao made things difficult for the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang. Cao Bao, who had a ulterior motive, knew that if he was on the battlefield

If Guan Yu sees it, then there is only one way to die. Even if he escapes by chance, he will have to bear the blame for the defeat.

So Cao Bao began to thank guests behind closed doors, letting Chen Deng, a dying man, take the blame, and wait for the outcome of the matter before he came out to pick peaches.

After hearing the news, Chen Gui sneered. He wanted benefits but did not dare to take responsibility. Where can there be such benefits in this world?

Chen Gui knew that he was old, Chen Deng was about to pass away, and the decline of the Chen family was a foregone conclusion.

With the thought that if the Chen family is finished, you will not be able to live well. Chen Gui used his status and rights as a special agent in Xuzhou to summon the heads of various aristocratic families and the civil and military officials of Xuzhou.

The family heads, including Cao Bao, and Xuzhou civil and military officials gathered at the Xuzhou Governor's Mansion.

Chen Gui looked at everyone coldly, and finally took out Cao Cao's order and said: "Everyone, Guan Yu led 50,000 thieves to invade Beihai, and the Beihai garrison generals could not resist it. The prime minister ordered me, Xuzhou, to send reinforcements. Military orders cannot be violated, who can

Are you willing to lead troops to rescue Beihai?"

Everyone was silent. Anyone who is willing to lead an army is a fool. They simply stopped talking and let's see what you, Chen Gui, can do.

Chen Gui had long known that this group of people was like this, and said with a straight face: "Don't you know how to contribute to the country? You must know that if the Prime Minister gets angry, the consequences will be serious!"

But this group of people remained silent.

Since these people didn't speak, Chen Gui could only name them, and he named Cao Bao, who had recently seized power very powerfully. He said: "General Cao, as the leader of Xuzhou's generals, the matter of leading the troops to rescue Beihai is your responsibility.

Here you go."

Cao Bao said dissatisfied: "Chen Biejia's words are wrong. The prime minister's military order requires the governor to lead the army. How dare a general to overstep his authority?"

Don’t dare? Then why were you so enthusiastic about it before?

Naturally, Chen Gui would not let Cao Bao go through with it so perfunctorily, and said: "The Prime Minister's military order said so, but everyone knows that my son is seriously ill and cannot lead the army and handle government affairs. Xuzhou cannot be left without an owner for a day. Therefore, I feel that General Cao is

A hero can take over the post of governor of Xuzhou. As long as the general returns victorious, I will naturally go to the court to help General Cao!"

"Mr. Chen, Miao Zan. What kind of hero is the general? Everyone here is an outstanding person. Master Chen can let others temporarily take the post of Xuzhou governor. Even Master Chen. It would be good for you to take this position." Cao Baoke

If you are not a idiot, you will naturally not be fooled by Chen Gui.

"I am old, and I am afraid that my time is running out. Since everyone has refused, I will go to the court and leave the matter to the Prime Minister for decision. General Cao can rest assured that I will report all of General Cao's attitudes one by one.

Go up." Chen Gui stared at Cao Bao with his old eyes.

"Chen Gui! What do you mean?" Cao Bao was angry. Chen Gui was stabbing him in the back. If Cao Cao knew that he was unwilling to lead troops, there would be no benefit in the future. At least there would be no hope for his position as the governor of Xuzhou.

.

"I always say what I do, and I don't have any other meaning. It's just that I think some people shouldn't stretch their hands too long." Chen Gui said pointedly.

The hearts of everyone present jumped. They had forgotten that Chen Guike was not dead yet. This guy was even more awesome than his son. Everyone thought that they should be more honest when they return, so as not to be caught by Chen Guike.

, it would be bad if it were used as a chicken to scare the monkeys.

Cao Bao walked away. He knew that Chen Gui would speak ill of him in front of Cao Cao. He didn't want to stay here for a moment.

The other family heads and civil and military officials all found excuses to leave one after another.

However, nothing happened about sending troops to rescue Beihai. Chen Gui placed all the responsibility on Cao Bao.

A dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist!

This is why Cao Cao ordered Chen Deng to rescue Beihai, but Xuzhou did not send troops.

Xuzhou did not send troops, so Cao Hong of Beihai cried. Cao Hong sent a large number of envoys asking for help, but they never returned.

Guan Yu's attacks came one after another, and the number of defenders in Beihai City continued to decrease, and they were already on the verge of collapse.

The siege battle was so brutal that the strong men recruited temporarily did not dare to show up and hid by the city wall holding their heads and shaking.

Cao Hong didn't even know how many times he had defeated the enemy troops who climbed onto the city wall.

"General, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? Brothers can't stand it any longer!" the deputy general said anxiously.

"Brother, please hold on for a while. I have already sent an envoy for help. Xuzhou's soldiers and horses will arrive soon." Cao Hong said to comfort the soldiers.

The deputy general estimated that reinforcements were unlikely to arrive, but he did not dare to say this. If he said it to shake the morale of the army, it would be a serious crime of beheading.

Guan Yu looked at the crumbling Beihai City, showed the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and shouted: "The whole army is coming, attack Beihai!"

Guan Yu personally participated in the siege, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly improved.

"Bang the drum, cheer!" Guo Tu was a scribe. He was not good at fighting on the battlefield, but he could still do other things.

Guan Yu's entire army launched an attack, preparing to capture the entire Beihai.

Like a god, Guan Yu deflected all the arrows and quickly arrived under the city wall. Guan Yu jumped up from his horse, stepped on the ladder, and ran towards the city wall as quickly as if he were on the ground.

"That's Guan Yu! Shoot the arrow quickly! Push away the ladder!" Cao Hong discovered Guan Yu's whereabouts. Why could Cao Hong find Guan Yu in the crowd? In addition to Guan Yu's big red face, there was also that green hat. That green hat was among the crowd.

Just like fireflies in the dark, so bright and outstanding.

Cao's army had all heard about Guan Yu's power, but they were willing to let Guan Yu climb the city wall. The archers kept firing arrows at Guan Yu, and the infantry worked together to push out the ladder.

I saw Guan Yu shouting loudly, bending his legs, pushing down the ladder, and using the elastic force to eject on the ladder, he leaped to the top of the city wall.

Cao Jun was dumbfounded. Is this still a human being? He is simply a divine general.

Guan Yu took advantage of Cao Jun's surprise and used the Qinglong Yanyue Sword to sweep through thousands of troops. Cao Jun on the wall fell to the ground in large numbers.

With Guan Yu's bravery, Liu Jun's soldiers in the ladder continued to climb the city wall, and quickly killed Cao's troops near other ladders, occupying a large position. Immediately afterwards, Hou Cheng led his troops to climb the city wall.

At this moment, Cao Jun's city wall had been lost.

"General, retreat quickly. Beihai cannot be defended anymore!" the deputy general came to Cao Hong covered in blood and said.
