"What did you say? That unfilial son wants me to join him?"
A furious roar echoed throughout Cao Cao's camp.
" Yes…Yes." The envoy trembled in fear." And Cao Jun even forced us to kneel and announce the edict…He even made Sikong his chief strategist…"
"Bang!"
Before the envoy could finish his words, the table was slapped by Cao Cao.
"He's really lawless!"
"I was willing to lower my head and make that unfilial son the Marquis of Rang City. That unfilial son actually doesn't know what's good for him and even said that he wants me to rely on him?!”
"Haha!"
Cao Cao laughed in anger and suddenly roared,""What a joke!"
"Yuan Rang, count the troops and attack the city tomorrow!”
"Does this unfilial son really think he can arm wrestle me?!!”
"My lord, please reconsider!" Guo Jia stood up again.
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed." Fengxiao, we did as you said. Jia Xu didn't surrender, and that unfilial son didn't receive the title. What else do you have to say now?"”
"I miscalculated…"
Guo Jia took two deep breaths to calm himself down and said," According to the information brought back by the scouts two days ago, Cao Jun is currently making weapons. Before we investigate, I think that if my lord acts rashly, I'm afraid..."
"Humph!"
Cao Cao snorted heavily and interrupted Guo Jia. He sneered,
"What's wrong? Feng Xiao, you were also intimidated by that unfilial son Cao Jun?”
"Do you think he can really fight against my elite soldiers with thirty thousand troops?!”
"Weapons? What weapons can he make? It was just a little trick to scare people!”
"Ridiculous! Ridiculous! Cao Jun merely played a small trick and scared all of you!”
Cao Cao was naturally suspicious, he felt that he had already seen through Cao Jun's little trick.
The so-called creation of weapons, making the messenger kneel down and announce the edict, and even threatening him to join him, all of these were just Cao Jun's smokescreen to give him a show of strength.
But I just don't want to do as you wish. I want to see how capable you are!
Guo Jia was speechless for a moment.
In his heart, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Could it be that he was really intimidated by Cao Jun?
Guo Jia's lips curled into a bitter smile…
At this moment, Xiahou Dun stood up." My lord, the army has been on the march for twenty days. The rations are almost used up. Now that we are using small buckets to distribute them, the camp is full of complaints. The morale of the army is wavering!”
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes.
He had come from afar to attack Rang City and had originally wanted to end the battle quickly.
If they could not take down Rang City in time and Yuan Shao went to attack Xuchang, it would be a bad thing...
Cao Jun appeared unexpectedly.
This made Cao Cao's side inquire about it, but 20 days had passed!
The rations were almost used up, and this made Cao Cao's decision to attack Cao Jun even more firm…
"How many more days can the food last?”
"Three days!"
After hearing Xiahou Dun's words, Cao Cao lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he raised his head and said,""Yuan Rang, go and punish the chief registrar who is in charge of the army's rations.”
"Ah?"
Xiahou Dun was shocked and asked in disbelief,""Why?"
Cao Cao continued," Tell them that the chief clerk embezzled the army's rations and beheaded them in public. Pass on my order. Take out all the food, wine, and meat. Let our brothers eat and drink to their fill. Tomorrow, we will attack the city with all our strength!"”
"If we can't take down Rang City within three days, everyone will be killed!”
"Hiss-"
All the generals and advisors present sucked in a breath of cold air.
The lord is so ruthless!
However, with the head of the chief clerk of grain, the originally low morale was directly raised to the height of a rainbow.
This plan could not be described as not brilliant!
Guo Jia frowned slightly. It seemed that his lord had already made up his mind to fight with his back against the wall. He had to take down Cao Jun in this battle…
Just as he was thinking, Cao Cao sighed,"
"Yuan Rang, tell the registrar that I will take care of his wife!”
……
Jizhou.
Yuan Shao sat on it.
"Reporting to my lord, it has been confirmed that Zhang Xiu has been breached by Cao Jun. Cao Cao and Cao Jun are currently confronting each other in Rang City!”
"You said Cao Jun defeated Zhang Xiu?"”
"Yes!"
……
Yuan Shao suddenly burst into laughter. Cao Aman had raised a good son! Now that he had to go against him, it was really satisfying!”
Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Liu Bei was secretly pleased.
But when he heard the name Cao Jun, Liu Bei couldn't help but think of Guan Yu and grit his teeth in hatred.
"Ming Gong, at this time, Cao and his son are fighting among themselves. Shouldn't we take the opportunity to sneak attack Xuchang?”
Yuan Shao still waved his hand." Let the father and son fight among themselves. When I take Gongsun Zan down, they will fight until both sides are injured. Wouldn't I be able to reap the benefits?"”
Hearing this, Liu Bei and Xu You sighed in their hearts…
Liu Bei was very disappointed that Yuan Shao did not take the opportunity to attack Xuchang. At the same time, he realized that Yuan Shao was not a wise ruler, but now that he was under someone else's roof, he could not say anything!
However, he had to take revenge for Guan Yu…
Rang City.
As the technology to manufacture ballistae and repeating crossbows became more and more mature, these two great weapons were also mass-produced.
At this moment, Cao Jun looked up at the starry sky with his hands behind his back.
He knew that his battle with Cao Cao was about to begin…
