RNP Chapter 222
Chapter 222
The news of Liu Bei's escape to Zhuyazhou soon spread to Cangwu City in Jiaozhou.
Wang Shixie of Jiaozhou hurriedly convened the civil and military affairs in the main hall to discuss the matter.
"Liu Bei's army has been defeated and has fled to Zhuyazhou
!" "Cao Cao's army will take advantage of the situation to attack my Jiaozhou
!" "I want to hear your opinions!" Shi
Yi immediately stood up: "Lord, I am willing to lead my troops to meet Cao Cao and fight with him
to the end!" "We are all willing to fight Cao Cao to the end!" The rest of the generals also clenched their fists.
Shi Xie shook his head: "With my strength in Jiaozhou, can I stop Cao Cao's million-strong army?" "If you can't
stop it, you have to stop it!" Shi Yi spoke again, with a firm attitude.
As Shi Xie's younger brother, Shi Yi controls the military power in Jiaozhou.
In recent years, although Jiaozhou is not warlike, there is no shortage of strong soldiers.
Shi Yi is absolutely unwilling to give up his hand to Jiaozhou.
Shi Xie looked at the strategist Yuan Hui again.
Yuan Hui arched his hand and signaled: "Lord, Cao Cao has a million army in his hands, and the domination of the world is imminent, and I can't resist Jiaozhou!"
The rest of the ministers also persuaded Shixie to surrender to the imperial court.
Shi Yi retorted to Yuan Hui: "Is it still the imperial court that has surrendered now? Everyone knows that Cao Cao is about to become emperor!"
Wenchen unanimously agreed to submit to the imperial court.
The generals would rather die than surrender.
"Smack!" Shi
Xie slapped on the table: "Don't make any noise!"
Suddenly, everyone in the main hall fell silent.
Shi Xie said: "Shi Yi listens to the order
!" "The last general!" Shi Yi clasped his fists with both hands.
Shi Xie said: "Order you to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses to Yulin City to resist Cao Cao, there must be no mistake
!" "Wow!" Shi Yi roared.
"I have handed over the state, and it has not yet reached the moment of complete surrender, and from now on, no one is allowed to say anything about surrender
!" "We will obey the orders of the lord!" The military generals of the civil and military ministers bowed their hands one after another.
Shi Xie waved his hand, and Wen Chen retreated.
Three days later, he signaled to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses to Yulin City.
Seven days later, hundreds of thousands of Cao troops camped outside the city of Yulin.
On the eighth day, Cao Cao's 100,000 elite soldiers drove to the city of Yulin and rode to the city alone.
"I am Cao Cao, the king of Wei of the Han Dynasty!" "Who is the guard
of the city?" Quickly report to the name!" Shi Yi climbed to the top of the city and responded loudly: "I am Shi Yi, the brother of the king of Jiaozhou!" Cao Cao said: "Since I am the brother of the king of Jiaozhou, why don't you return to the court as soon as possible, so as not to lose my life
?" "The imperial court?" Shi Yi said: "Where is the imperial court? The current Han has long been in your Cao Cao's pocket
!" "
Hahaha!"
Cao Cao smiled: "If you submit to the Han Dynasty, you will submit to me Cao Cao, and if you submit to me, Cao Cao will also submit to the Han Dynasty!" "Phew!" signaled: "You are a thief who steals the country, and you do something rebellious in the name of the Han family
!" "Stubborn!" Cao Cao shook his head, didn't bother to explain more to him, and rode back to the military formation.
Cao's army withdrew.
The soldiers in the city cheered.
After Cao Cao returned to the camp, he convened the civil and military forces to discuss the Chinese army overnight.
"Shi Xie is stubborn, I want to break through Jiaozhou urgently, do you have a good plan?"
Cao Cao was surprised: "You wait, why don't you speak
?" Cheng Yu immediately stood up: "King Wei, the soldiers and civilians of Jiaozhou are working together to defend the city, although our army is strong and strong, but the troops are divided into three ways, it is not an easy thing to break through Jiaozhou in a short time
!" "Yes!" Xun You also said: "In this battle, the King of Wei must not be anxious!"
"Is it me who is anxious?" Cao Cao turned his head to look at Chao Rui.
Chao Rui immediately gestured: "It is true that the King of Wei is eager to dominate the world, but he can't be anxious about the strategy of Jiaozhou
!" "Hahaha!" Cao Cao smiled.
Chao Rui said again:
"You can transfer Xiahoudun from Jiangdong
to the east of Jiaozhou!" "Then order Cai Mao to lead the Jingzhou army and horses to besiege Cangwu City
!" "The three-way army of millions of troops and horses will attack
Jiaozhou!" "Without the King of Wei to start a war, Jiaozhou will already be panicked within half
a month!" "After more than a month of confrontation, Shixie must think of a strategy to surrender
!" "Therefore, the King of Wei does not need to be anxious, on the contrary, he must be patient!" "
That makes sense!" Cao Cao nodded, and then ordered someone to give orders to Xiahoudun and Cai Mao.
Xiahoudun and Cai Mao got the order and opened one after another.
Half a month later, Xiahoudun invaded Nanhai County and directly threatened Cangwu County.
Cai Mao led the Jingzhou army to the garrison outside Cangwu City.
As Chao Rui said, the military and civilians in Jiaozhou are feeling unprecedented pressure.
Even if Shi Xie once said that no one should be allowed to mention surrender again.
However, the Wenchen, led by Yuan Hui, still advocated submission to the imperial court.
Shi Xie also made a difficulty.
The initiative in this battle lies with Cao Cao.
No one knew when Cao Cao would attack the city, and no one knew what Cao Cao was thinking at the moment.
Everything is unknown.
But this kind of unknown is fatal for Jiaozhou.
Shi Xie asked Yuan Hui: "Military Division, do you think
Jiaozhou should surrender?" Yuan Hui nodded: "The previous surrender was indeed too hasty, but now there is only one way to go!" "
I Jiaozhou, is it impossible to defeat Cao Cao?" Shi Xie asked Yuan Hui.
Yuan Hui shook his head: "Cao Cao can contain General Shiyi without moving, Xiahoudun and Cai Mao attack Cangwu City at the same time, how can the lord deal with it?"
Shi Xie said: "I can transfer soldiers and horses from various counties into Cangwu City, and there are 100,000 people, enough to hold out for half a year
!" Yuan Hui shook his head: "Then Cao Cao will definitely take the opportunity to annex other counties and counties, leaving only the two cities of Cangwu and Yulin!"
Shi Xie stopped talking, and suddenly fell silent.
The two lonely cities can't be defended after all.
Yuan Hui said again: "Victory or defeat has long been doomed, the difference is only whether I surrender Jiaozhou or fight to the death!" Shi Xie asked again: "
If I surrender, will Cao Cao kill me?"
"No!" Yuan Hui shook his head.
Shi Xie said: "Cao Cao is the king of Wei, I am the king of Jiaozhou, and I am already on an equal footing with him, how can Cao Cao tolerate me
?" Yuan Hui smiled: "Then what if, Cao Cao becomes the emperor?"
"Yes!" Shi Xie suddenly realized.
If Cao Cao becomes the emperor, he will be insignificant as a small king of Jiaozhou.
Yuan Hui arched his hand and signaled: "If the lord has the heart to surrender, I will go
to see Cao Cao immediately!" "It's okay!" Shi Xie nodded: "You can go to see Cao Cao on my behalf and find out what he means
!" "Obey!" Yuan Hui clenched his fists and exited the main hall.
A few days later, Yuan Hui arrived at the Cao army camp outside Yulin City.
Cao Cao heard that Shixie had sent an envoy to meet him.
"In Xia Chaorui, I have seen Mr.!" "
Yuan Hui has seen the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine!" Yuan Hui hurriedly returned the salute.
"Please!" Chao Rui gestured.
"Thank you!" Yuan Hui gave up his hand and entered the Chinese army's tent with Chaorui.
When Yuan Hui saw Cao Cao, he bowed and saluted: "Envoy Yuan Hui, I have seen
Cao Cao, King of Wei!" Cao Cao smiled: "The envoy doesn't need to be polite, please get up quickly
!" "Thank you King Wei!" Yuan Hui gave his hand again.
Cao Cao said: "Since I arrived in Jiaozhou, I have heard that the fish in Jiaozhou is more delicious, and today the envoy will taste your Jiaozhou fish with me in this big tent
!" "Respectful and indisobedient, King Xie Wei!" Yuan Hui smiled and arched his hand.
