Outside Nanpi City, Bohai County, Cao Cao's army surrounded the city. If one ants followed one after another, the corpses in front were almost filled with the moat, but Nanpi City was still firm, and waves of enemies had been repelled from the top of the city.

The war damage between both sides was terrifying, and the fishy smell of killing attracted all the vultures in the sky.

"My lord, you can't continue to fight like this!" Le Jin finally couldn't stand it anymore and begged Cao Cao. This was simply a meat grinder. A team of 5,000 people went up in two or three hours, and it was gone. Le Jin's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are now less than 100,000, and more injuries are caused. If this continues, this soldier will be ruined.

"Yeah!" Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and all of them were murderous intent. Although Le Jin was frightened, he still forced himself to look at Cao Cao. "Lord, if this continues, our troops will be finished without being captured by Nanpi City!"

The siege side always has greater casualties than the defensive side. This is a law, because the city wall, as a solid layer of defense, can cause the condescending people to cause damage to the enemies under the city.

Le Jin's original 500 guards now have no more than fifty people. They all died on the city walls. Even a lord like Le Jin has suffered such great losses, so you can know that the others are.

"Oh!" Cao Cao also sighed. He really didn't expect that his brother Yuan Shao would be so capable. "Le Jin 9, I won't attack the city today, let the soldiers retreat and rest for a day!" Cao Cao couldn't bear it anymore, because half of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers were from Guanzhong's children. The Guanzhong children followed him to Hebei because they looked down on him. Cao Cao. Those who wanted to bring them to make achievements could not only be the ashes in the end.

"Thank you lord. Thank you lord!" Le Jin hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Cao Cao.

"Huh!" Cao Cao shook his head and entered the camp. Both sides outside the city were packing up the bodies of each other. The bodies were no longer carried, but were carried by carriages. Thousands of people dug out the pits over there overnight, but even so, these corpses could not be loaded and could only be burned. The weather was cold and better. If the weather was hot, it might bring about plague.

"Come here, send me a letter to Miaocai, so that Miaocai can immediately set off the camp and bring the army to Bohai County!" Cao Cao said to Le Jin and Xu Huang and others under his command.

"Yeah?" Everyone was stunned and asked Xiahou Yuan's army to withdraw from Fanyang County to Bohai County. Isn't this a waste of money and rush to Bohai County? No one understood Cao Cao's idea. Now he finally surrounded the Yuan family in Fanyang County. As long as Fanyang County is taken down, it can be said that the Yuan brothers will be finished. However, if this boss Cao seems to have lost money and brought Xiahou Yuan's army, then Fan Yang's siege will be destroyed without saving, and the Yuan brothers will be robbed on the road.

"Fan Yang can be lost. This Bohai County must not be lost!" Cao Cao said with a gaze. To be honest, the Yuan brothers said that Cao Cao didn't see them at all, and he was not a match of the same level. If Yangzhou hadn't inserted a jar and transported the continuous supply of weapons and food to the Yuan brothers, Fan Yang City might have been broken long ago.

But now that Yuan Shao appears, it is different. Yuan Shao has always been regarded as the biggest enemy in his life by Cao Cao. Even after defeating Yuan Shao, Cao Cao did not relax at all.

Because if Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu ​​were easy to deal with, he would not be the boss of Cao Cao. You must know that Yuan Benchu ​​is not the eldest son of the Yuan family, but he can stand out in the Yuan family, so he can tell that he is amazing.

Cao Cao was the other 300,000 troops who could not go back, and he would also leave Yuan Shao's life.

"Yes!" Everyone there took the order and left, but Xu Huang came back soon.

"Gongming, have you sent someone to deliver a letter to Miaocai?" Cao Cao asked looking at Xu Huang.

Xu Huang's face was very strange. He looked at Cao Cao and said, "Master, maybe, General Xiahou Yuan can't come!"

"Huh?" Cao Cao frowned. Could it be that the Yuan brothers over there who seized this opportunity and caught Miaocai off guard? No, Miaocai's hands do not need to be few Cao Cao. In order to prevent the second son of the Yuan family from counterattacking, Cao Cao left more than 100,000 troops under Fanyang City, and the general garrison was Xiahou Yuan because Xiahou Yuan was calm.

"Bring it!" Cao Cao took the letter from Xu Huang's hand, and was stunned when he saw it.

He widened his eyes and seemed to be unable to believe, "Miaocai, have you broken through Fanyang City?" Cao Cao looked at the letter while looking at Xu Huang there.

"I don't know if the last general!" Xu Huang also shook his head and just got the information sent from Fan Yang.

"Hurry, hurry up, send me a letter to Miaocai, let's make people rush to speed up, 800 miles, I want to confirm this news!" Cao Cao immediately said to the people under his command. He was a little excited and was also worried. This excitement was that if this matter was true, then it would be really a big fun. After taking down Fanyang City, it can be said that the overall situation in Youzhou has been decided. If Fanyang City is not taken down, then this letter may be a letter sent by the enemy to deceive him, and then Xiahou Yuan's army may be in danger.

"Yes!" Xu Huang nodded and went out again, but he soon came back.

"So fast?" Cao Cao felt that Xu Huang was a bit abnormal today. This efficiency was too high. Just as Cao Cao issued an order, Xu Huang completed it here.

Cao Cao saw that Xu Huang was not an empty-handed person this time, and he also had a letter and an airshot in his hand.

"Lord, you don't need to send someone to General Xiahou Yuan's office!" As he said that, Xu Huang handed over the letter in his hand. Cao Cao took the letter. Although there were only a few words on it, Cao Cao believed in his truth because it contained Xiahou Yuan's seal.

Even if Xiahou Yuan was defeated, he would not abandon this thing.

"How could it be!" Cao Cao immediately stood up, a little unbelievable. His 300,000 army was unable to break through Fanyang City. Now, Cao Cao took away the elite soldiers, Horse, Tiger, Leopard Cavalry and others, but broke Fanyang City. Isn't this arguing Cao Cao's face!

"My lord heard that it was the Yuan brothers in Fanyang City over there who had an internal strife!" Xu Huang said to Cao Cao next to him.

"Internal strife? Impossible! Isn't Yuan Xi still there?" Cao Cao didn't believe in the internal strife of the Yuan Brotherhood.

"Yuan Xi?" Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly. The reason for his wry smile was that it seemed that Fan Yangcheng's great contribution would fall on the Xiahou brothers. Xiahou Yuan was fine. If Xiahou Chun got this contribution again, he would probably show off in front of them again.

"Lord, this second son of the Yuan family is here!" As he said that, Xu Huang handed over a box in his hand.

Cao Cao took the box, opened it, and widened his eyes. This was a huge head, sealed with lime. But he could still see that he was dying with his eyes closed.

"Yuan Xi,?" Cao Cao thought a little. Although he had never seen Yuan Xi, he could roughly see his appearance, because the appearance of this man still looked very similar to Yuan Shao.

Only then did Cao Cao realize why the Yuan brothers had an internal strife. It turned out that Yuan Xi was dead. After hearing the news from Xiahou Yuan's people over there, Fan Yang City was opened by this young master Yuan Xi.

"What a pity, a talent!" Cao Cao shook his head and sighed. With Yuan Xi's ability, being an official or a general would be more than enough. It can even be said that he is more insightful than any general under his command, and the most important thing is that Yuan Xi is young. Unfortunately, such a young and promising person did not die in the hands of his enemy Cao Cao, but in the hands of his brothers.

Yuan Xi's head was not obtained by Xiahou Yuan, but by Xiahou Chun who was abandoned by Yuan Tan's army while pursuing Yuan Tan.

"Lord, do you want to bury this young master Yuan Xi?" Xu Huang next to him asked Cao Cao. After all, the south gate of Fanyang City was opened by this young master Yuan Xi. Although this young master Yuan Xi had the idea of ​​letting Cao Cao's army disrupt the situation, he was also a benefactor.

"Yeah!" Cao Cao nodded, and Xu Huang was about to take it down and prepare for a grand funeral, but he was stopped by Cao Cao. "Not now!"

Xu Huang didn't understand what Cao Cao meant.

"Yuan Xi, Yuan Xi, if you really count it, I, Cao Cao, are your uncle. Since you helped my uncle, I opened the gate of Fanyang City, you can also open the gate of Nanpi City!" Cao Cao said and shouted to the people under his command, "Come, pass on our military orders, and the whole army will be filial!"

"Ahhh!" Xu Huang and others were completely stunned. What is this whole army's filial piety? Although the war has been very harsh these days, no general in their army died in battle.

"Just do it!" Cao Cao waved his hand and said to Xu Huang and others.

Soon, white flags began to be hung in the entire Cao Cao army's barracks and white cloth strips were hung.

"Lord, lord, look, look!" Yuan Shao had just returned to the city for a rest, but Wen Chou shouted out because Cao Cao's army was very abnormal.

Wen Chou is a good player in war, but he is not Cao Cao's opponent in his strategy. So when he discovered the abnormality of Cao Cao's army, Wen Chou's first thought was to wake Yuan Shao up and let Yuan Shao take the initiative to make a judgment.

Yuan Shao's eyes were covered with blood and his body was covered with blood. It can be seen that the battle over the past few days was cruel and that when it was fierce, he, the lord Yuan Shao, had to go to the front personally.

Yuan Shao was woken up by Wen Chou. Yuan Shao had a trace of dissatisfaction, but after seeing what he looked outside the city, he disappeared completely.

"Hang white cloth and criticize white flags!" Yuan Shao looked at the Cao Cao army below. Could it be that someone of Cao Cao's army was killed in battle?

Because this is just about wearing mourning and mourning. The entire army wears mourning and mourning, which means that there must be a general in the army who has died in battle.

"Have General Cao Cao died in battle these days?" Yuan Shao was a little convinced and asked Wen Chou next to him.

"Lord, I don't know in the city. I only know that after I left the city, I have never killed the enemy general!" Wen Chou shook his head. Although he had two elite heavy armored cavalry in his hands, the enemy also had tiger and leopard cavalry. At the same time, those heavy armored footsteps were not vegetarians.

"Lord, let's go!" Wen Chou was dissuading his lord. Although this Nanpi City was solid, it was not a long-term solution. Sooner or later, it would be broken. Wen Chou now thought that his lord gave up Nanpi City and could break out of the siege with the elliptical siege and the first camp. He could return to Bingzhou in Jizhou and Bingzhou after a difficult time. The gentry over there were all looking forward to Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shao arrived, he would definitely get their support. Open the city gate to welcome Yuan Shao, and then they would have the capital to fight with Cao Cao.

"Let's go?" Yuan Shao was also a little shaken. After all, there were too few soldiers and horses in his hands. If he stayed in Nanpi City, he would have been defeated by Cao Cao long ago if he stayed in Nanpi City.

However, after thinking for a while, Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "No, I can't leave, at least I can't leave now!" Yuan Shao is also a person with good face. Yuan Shao lost, but Yuan Shao refused to give in. He wanted to teach Cao Cao a good lesson under Nanpi City and tell him that although I have not been the boss for many years, the boss is the boss. Only when he defeated Cao Cao and saved the lost face back, Yuan Shao would leave Nanpi City.

"Have you asked you to send a scout to Fanyang City for help?" Yuan Shao asked Wen Chou next to him.

Yuan Shao was waiting for the reinforcements from Fanyang City. As long as the reinforcements from Fanyang City arrived, with Yuan Shao's ability, he would be confident to fight Cao Cao.

"I've been sent out, and I've been in the fourth batch. But there is no news!" Wen Chou shook his head.

"Hmph!" Yuan Shao may have thought of his rebellious sons and couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Now Cao Cao's army is wearing mourning clothes. It must be the loss of the generals in the army, and morale will inevitably fall. This may be our opportunity!" Yuan Shao said to Wen Chou. "I'll go down and rest for a while, and call me later!" Yuan Shao couldn't hold on anymore, his eyes were already covered in blood.

Yuan Shao had rested for less than an hour, and Wen Chou called him up again, but this time Yuan Shao did not blame Wen Chou because it was Cao Cao's army under the city who came to shout.

I saw Cao Cao coming in mourning clothes, with white cloth hanging on his horses, and hundreds of cavalry under his command walked to Nanpi City.

"Do you want us?" Wen Chou is preparing to prepare the sharpshooters in the army to see if he can kill Cao Cao at the city at once. If Cao Cao is shot to death, then Cao Cao's army will be without a leader.

"No need!" Yuan Shao shook his head. He knew that this fat man Cao Hei was afraid of death. Before all actions, this fat man Cao Hei was ready for a way out. If he could kill Cao Cao in one go, how could Yuan Shao not want to? But if he couldn't kill him, it would be Yuan Shao who was embarrassed. People came out to call out and you secretly shot arrows. Isn't this a joke?

"Brother Benchu, let's quit!" Cao Cao said this.

"A truce, why should we truce?" Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Do you want to surrender Meng De?"

"Brother Benchu, you can't fight anymore. If you continue to fight, you will die so many people. Alas, alas, alas, the general in our army, the talent of my great man, you died so miserable. You were young but you were going to die in troubled times. You should have entered the house. You should have shown your style in the court, but you died on the battlefield. Brother Benchu, how can you bear it? Let's end the war as soon as possible and restore peace to the world!" Cao Cao cried so miserable. If Xu Huang and others hadn't known anything, they would have thought Cao Cao had died.

"A peace in the world? Cao Mengde, what a big hat. You have to hold it on my head. If you didn't have the army here, if you hadn't been inflated, why would my Hebei be like this? Why would the people of Bohai County be like this?" Yuan Shao was not a divine oil lamp, and he started to confront Cao Cao there.

The people of Hebei really don’t understand the unification of the world and the peaceful times, but they know that when Yuan Shao was there, they lived and worked in peace and contentment, and it was the arrival of Cao Cao’s army that brought the war to them.

"Get out, Cao Zhe is uneasy!"

"Get out, get out!" The people above the city had no good feelings for Cao Cao, and there were countless casualties over the past few days. These were caused by Cao Cao's army. How could they have a good feeling for Cao Cao's army? They were shouting loudly there.

"Hey! My great man's talent is not serving the country at the border or protecting the country's gates, but in the midst of internal friction, alas, alas!" Cao Cao shouted again.

"Cao Mengde, don't pretend. Your general's life and death is also because you let them go to the battlefield. If you want the general in your hands to be immortal, as long as you withdraw your troops, you can't!" Yuan Shao shouted to Cao Cao on the city wall.

"Brother Benchu, that's my hero. Are you so inhuman?" Cao Cao asked at Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel a little funny. I, Yuan Shao, still cry when your general is dead? You, Cao Cao, want my general, Yuan Shao, want my life. He is dead. It's good if Yuan Shao didn't release the animals and laughed.

"Now, Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, is here to worship Youzhou, Hebei, this world, and this great Han Dynasty! My hero of the great Han Dynasty, the governor of Youzhou, and the descendants of the three kings of four generations..." Cao Cao suddenly knelt down to Tianji there.

Yuan Shao was still happy at first, but the more he heard it, the more he became, the more wrong it became.

"Governor of Youzhou? The Three Dukes of the Four Generations?" Yuan Shao's eyes widened. If Yuan Shao heard it correctly, then this person would be him!

Yuan Xi, Yuan Xianyi!

"Cao Aman, what are you talking about! Xianyi lives well in Fanyang City, and he is living a good life. Why are you here to worship him!" Yuan Shao was anxious and shouted at Cao Cao below, knowing what it means to see true feelings in trouble and what it means to see people's hearts over time.

Yuan Shao is like this now. Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, one is his favorite son of Yuan Shao, and the other is his eldest son of Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao thought he had never treated them badly, but what did the two of them bring to him in the end!

One usurped the throne and the other seized power, almost killing his father and taking Yuan Shao's life. Yuan Xi, who was unknown in daily life and didn't care much about Yuan Shao, has been struggling for the Yuan family's great cause, rather than knowing how to seize power like his two brothers.

During those days of being under house arrest, Yuan Shao also regretted, and he remembered every bit of Yuan Xi.

When he was young, Yuan Xi was not favored by him, Yuan Shao. He wanted to respect his brother and give up his younger brother, but Yuan Xi was still without any complaints.

Yuan Shao had already made plans and waited for this breakout and make a comeback. Then the throne would be passed on to his second son Yuan Xi. Yuan Shao would not be able to do anything to those two rebellious sons. At most, he would let these two rebellious sons be idle.

But now Cao Cao actually said that Yuan Xi was dead, isn’t this a rumor?

"Brother Benchu, Fan Yangcheng, Fan Yangcheng has been accidentally taken down by Miaocai!" Cao Cao explained to Yuan Shao on the city wall. "And it was Mr. Yuan Xi's credit for being able to take down Fan Yangcheng!" Cao Cao told Yuan Shao that it was Yuan Xi who sent someone to help Xiahou Yuan open the southern gate of Fan Yangcheng, so that Cao Cao's army would enter the city with pride.
