A few days later.
The rainstorm had completely stopped, and the weather had cleared up. A blazing sun hung high above their heads.
Cao Camp.
In the central tent.
Su Ran was dressed in armor and standing in front of them, telling them about the upcoming battle arrangements.
Even Cao Cao was willing to stand aside.
From the beginning to the end, Su Ran was the one who came up with the plan to attack Shouchun.
He didn't mind letting Su Ran do all this.
"Everyone, after more than four months, the time is finally ripe.”
"We will break through Shouchun today."
Su Ran smiled and looked at the generals below.
Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xu Huang, Le Jin…They were all valiant generals of Cao Camp.
"Military Advisor, give the order."
"We have been waiting for this day for a long time.”
The generals cupped their hands.
Although he had just joined Cao Cao's camp, he had the Battle of Wancheng and the Battle of Shouchun. His prestige was not low and was enough to make all the generals respect him.
"Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong will each lead 60,000 troops to attack Shouchun from the front.”
"Xu Huang will lead 20,000 troops to bypass the eastern city. Le Jin will lead 20,000 troops to the northern city and seal off both sides.”
"Let go of the south city and give Yuan Shu and his personal guards a way out. Otherwise, they will put up a stubborn resistance and cause too many casualties to our army.”
"Cao Chun will lead 30,000 tiger leopard cavalry to the shores of the Huai River and wait for Yuan Shu to abandon the south of the city and flee. At that time, he will drive Yuan Shu into Xu Prefecture and kill him!”
"Remember, treat the captives well and do not bully the people in the city. Those who disobey will be punished by military law.”
"Military Advisor, why did you drive Yuan Shu into Xuzhou and kill him?”
The generals were puzzled.
Su Ran explained," Lu Bu of Xuzhou is a great threat to you. Once Yuan Shu dies, he will be on guard against you. If Lu Bu and Yuan Shao join forces, it will be disadvantageous to you."”
"However, Yuan Shu's death in Xu Prefecture will be different. At that time, Yuan Shao will absolutely not ally with Lu Bu for the sake of the dignity of the four generations of the Three Dukes and the face of the Yuan Family.”
The generals were enlightened and at the same time, they felt admiration for Su Ran's far-reaching plan.
"Then, Military Advisor, what if Lu Bu protects Yuan Shu?”Xiahou Dun asked.
"I won't!"
Su Ran shook his head." Lu Bu is a person who cherishes himself when he sees small benefits and forgets loyalty when he sees great benefits. In the past, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu fought against each other and had deep conflicts. In addition, you came with the power of a great victory. Lu Bu would never dare to be your enemy now.”
"I will not offend the lord because of Yuan Shu.”
"We understand."
"Since you understand, let's act immediately.”
With Su Ran's order, the generals picked up their weapons and left the tent.
In just a moment.
In Cao Cao's camp, the sound of drums shook the sky.
The 170,000 soldiers marched out of the gate in an orderly manner, then turned into three torrents and headed towards Shouchun.
As for the remaining soldiers, they stayed behind to guard the camp.
"Lord, Fengxiao, let's go and see this battle.”
Su Ran smiled.
"Let's go."
The few of them walked out of the tent and rode their horses to the outskirts of Shouchun City. Then, they stood on a high ground and watched the battle in front of them.
Countless trebuchets were pushed out, and huge rocks were thrown at the Shouchun City wall.
However, only a few arrows shot out from the city wall.
At this moment.
On the city wall.
Countless Yuan soldiers looked at the Cao army from afar. Not only were they not afraid, but they were also excited.
"They're here, the Cao Army is here."
"The Cao army is fierce, and we are no match for them. Rather than being treated as traitors and exterminating our entire clan, we might as well rebel!”
"For the sake of our families and parents, we rebelled and helped the Cao army enter the city!”
"Motherf * cker, they're rebelling!"
These soldiers had long been frightened by the might of Cao Cao's army and did not dare to make an enemy out of it. Moreover, Yuan Shu was fatuous and caused the people in the city to be in dire straits. If they followed Yuan Shu, they would have no way to survive.
In any case, surrendering wouldn't kill him, and he would even be given preferential treatment, so why fight to the death?
Immediately.
These soldiers formed into teams and brandished their sabers to kill the city guards and generals around them.
Even Li Feng, who was sent by Yuan Shu to command the army to defend Shouchun, died under the chaotic blades.
Chaos.
Everything was in chaos.
The soldiers and horses in Shouchun City mutiny. After killing the general guarding the city gate, they immediately took down Yuan Shu's flag on the city wall and went down to open the city gate to welcome Cao Cao's army into the city.
Liang Gang and Chen Ji, who were suppressing the rebellion, saw this and knew that the situation was over. They hurriedly retreated from the city with their guards and then rushed to the Imperial Palace with their troops.
Outside the city.
Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong were stunned when they saw the city gates open and Yuan Shu's flag removed.
They hadn't even officially given the order to attack, so why did the Yuan army in the city surrender?
Could it be a trap?
The two of them were bewildered and immediately signaled for the army to stop attacking.
But very quickly.
The sound of the army attacking could be heard from behind.
Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong looked at each other and were shocked!
It seemed like…
Yuan Jun had really surrendered.
"Kill them!"
The two of them no longer hesitated and led their troops to charge in.
Wherever Cao Cao's army passed, they did not encounter any decent resistance.
Above and below the city walls, even the Yuan soldiers who were blocking their way immediately put down their weapons and knelt on the ground.
Even when Xiahou Dun sent people to collect the weapons, these Yuan soldiers did not resist at all. Instead, they cooperated obediently.
Upon seeing this scene, Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong were greatly shocked.
"I've been fighting for many years, but this is the first time I've taken down a city so smoothly.”
"Wherever our army passes by, the enemy will be on guard. What kind of power is this!”
Xiahou Dun still hadn't come back to his senses and exclaimed.
"All of this is thanks to the military counselor's plan.”
"If not for that, how could we have been so successful?”
Cao Hong was also shocked.
"Yeah, Military Advisor is really a god!”
After Xiahou Dun made the final decision, a smile appeared on his face.""We can't disappoint our lord and military counselor.”
"Leave 40,000 men to collect the captives. The two of us will lead the troops to the Imperial Palace. We can't let Yuan Shu escape.”
"Good!"
The two of them discussed for a while before heading straight for the palace.
As the two of them led their troops into the city, the people who were still in the city were not afraid. They even took the initiative to lead them to the Imperial Palace.
Such a scene.
It made them respect Su Ran even more.
