    Xu You, who had stood silently for a long time in the dimly lit Chinese army tent, finally couldn't stand the silence of everyone.

    First, he said to Cao Ang, who had a dull expression on his face: "Good nephew! The current war situation is not favorable, and you are now the person in charge of the army. You should come up with a strategy so that the army can respond appropriately!"

    Cao Ang, whose expression was still dull, raised his calm eyes and glanced gently at the gorgeously dressed scribe.  This new recruit joined Cao's army not long ago, but he was extremely proud of his advisor.  Cao Ang's straight brow furrowed slightly for a moment.

    A trace of anger arose in my heart: "My father's condition has not yet been determined, but this old guy has already started to live in his old age? Is it so difficult to respect me and call me Young Master or Young Master?"

    snort!  I am afraid that in his heart, he has never regarded me, this young man, this 'good nephew' as a person who can take charge of things!  "

    Xu You, who thought he had saved Cao's army from danger, certainly felt that his contribution was huge.  His usual proud and showy tone offended all the civil and military officers and soldiers in Cao's camp.

    Even the lord of everyone, Cao Cao is still the virtuous brother in Xu You's mouth, not to mention the others and Cao Ang, the new lord!

    ¡°In fact, Xu You didn¡¯t have any ill intentions in his heart.  It's just that as a newly joined counselor, he has no foundation to rely on, which makes him always feel empty in his heart.  Therefore, he was too eager to establish his position in Cao's camp.

    His overly exaggerated style and showoff behavior seemed out of place in Cao Ying, which always values ??simplicity and humility.

    Originally standing at the tent door, the younger Cao Zhang twitched the corners of his mouth resolutely, and the yellow beard covering the corners of his mouth suddenly trembled a few times.  His increasingly lush yellow beard made him look much more mature.  At this time, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

    He calmly took two steps forward and approached Xu You, who was still elated and seemed to be questioning Cao Ang.

    In Xu You's mind, the plan was perfect, as long as Cao Ang humbly asked his senior for advice.  He Xu You will offer a lot of clever tricks to solve the dilemma facing Cao Jun and establish his position in front of the new lord.

    Rather than looking at the dim candles lifelessly like those old guys.  No one is willing to take the initiative to offer suggestions. Should we let everyone wait here to die together?  When the Jiangnan Army comes to kill them, there is nothing they can do even if they have a plan!

    Seeing that Cao Ang still had no intention of speaking, Xu You couldn't help but feel a little anxious.  Not wanting to wait any longer, he took a step towards Cao Ang, wanting to give Cao Ang some more motivation.

    But before he could speak again, he suddenly felt his whole body flying up.  Before he could react in his heart, his whole body had already hit the ground heavily.  Just this time, the severe pain made him faint instantly.

    Cao Zhang's somewhat rough voice sounded: "This old man has been gesticulating at us all day long. It seems that without him, we would have been dead. It is really annoying to see him. Big brother and little brother see him getting closer to you again and again.  He must have bad intentions!¡±

    Seeing that the third brother suddenly rose up, Xu You, who was almost in front of him, was knocked to the ground with just one move.  Cao Ang couldn't help but feel a little sluggish. He hated this boastful and self-righteous scribe who was too close to him, but he never thought about killing him.

    But looking at the movement Cao Zhang made just now, with his brute force, Xu You might have even broken his neck.  Looking for a guy with his head tilted and his breath gradually weakening.  Cao Ang could only smile helplessly and waved gently to the two guards around him.

    "Alas! Ziwen, how could you be so reckless! Mr. Xu has made great contributions to us!"

    Before he finished speaking, Xia Houyuan here had already opened his mouth to defend Cao Zhang and said: "Zixiu! This sour man behaves in a sneaky way. He is very arrogant towards his superiors and lieutenants, and his masterminds are even more arrogant. You can't blame Ziwen for what he did."  Too much! This guy is just looking for death!

    If Ziwen doesn¡¯t take action, someone else will!  Now that we are facing a crisis, we cannot tolerate such a black sheep!  "

    For his uncle who had watched him grow up since childhood, Cao Ang did not feel disgusted with Xu Youshi.  Looking at the two relatives, he could only pretend to sigh: "Oh! You guys! Forget it, let's give Mr. Xu a good burial! We can't mistreat the hero no matter what!"

    Seeing that the talkative Xu You can no longer survive, he can no longer use his own brother to save his life.  After all, Cao Zhang had solved a problem for himself. Cao Ang felt very relaxed and happy. How could he really punish his third brother?

    Seeing that Cao Ang just ordered the guards to carry the lifeless Xu You down, without even calling the doctor.

    Man Chong¡¯s face darkened, and he was about to step forward to persuade him.  But he was stopped calmly by the experienced Cheng Yu.

     Man Chong, who wanted to say something else, looked questioning, but saw Cheng Yu shaking his head slightly towards him.  He naturally understood what Cheng Yu meant when he shook his head. Who doesn't know how to protect oneself wisely?  He just felt aggrieved for Xu You, who was still loyal.

    A person who just likes to show off his achievements.  No matter what happens, he will not be killed easily without anyone complaining for him.  You must know that the old master is still in the camp and has not yet expired.

    But the two sons started to take human lives seriously with their uncle, and they were also newly surrendered ministers with some merits.  Such an act of killing a hero would never happen when the old lord was around.

    No matter how annoying someone is, they still have to find a suitable excuse.

    Looking at the serious two young masters, Cao Ren, the governor-general of the three armies, and generals such as Xia Houyuan and Li Dian, all remained silent about this matter as if they had never seen it before.  Man Chong could only console himself that this Xu You was just a special case and it should never happen again.  But there was a faint coldness in his heart.

    Xun You didn't even look at Xu You who was carried away by the guards, and said to Cao Ang: "Young Master! Now the master is seriously ill and urgently needs medical treatment, and the defense at the head of Shu County is too difficult. Our army should make more siege equipment, otherwise it will just be a forceful attack.  , I¡¯m afraid there will be heavy casualties!¡±

    Seeing that his father¡¯s mastermind respected him so much, no matter how calm Cao Ang¡¯s face was, his heart was filled with joy.  The feeling of being a little worried at first finally relaxed.  Xun You's attitude at this time almost represented the approval of all the elders in the army.

    With the support of old people like Xun You and Cheng Yu, Cao Ang will naturally be able to successfully take over the position of Yanzhou Shepherd.

    Under Cao Cao's careful training, Cao Ang, who already had experience in dealing with affairs, immediately struck while the iron was hot and began to formally issue an order: "Yes! What Military Advisor Gongda said is true. Our army is not in a good position to attack the city today, and our morale has been slightly improved. The entire army will cease fighting from tomorrow on."  One day, prepare siege equipment."

    After a pause, he said politely to Cheng Yu: "Mr. Zhongde! I leave this important responsibility of supervising the production of siege equipment to you!"

    Cheng Yu naturally stepped forward to accept the order without any hesitation. The old master was seriously ill and might die at any time.  His last order before fainting was to attack the city and take revenge.  As the leader of the veteran ministers, he naturally had no intention of resisting.

    Although under the supervision of the experienced Cheng Yu, he wanted to make a large number of siege equipment in a hurry.  There was a serious shortage of various materials, so the craftsmen tried their best to rush the work and tried every means.

    In the early morning of the third day, the wooden shields, crash carts, simple trebuchets and other items that could be delivered could still only be used to attack the two city gates.  Cao Ang was worried and ordered without hesitation that the two gates in the northeast would be the main ones and the southwest gate would be the auxiliary. The whole army would continue to attack the city.

    Cao Ren, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, was appointed as the commander-in-chief and was responsible for the coordination of the central army.  The remaining generals are responsible for the offensive of each gate.

    The sky was just getting brighter, and the arrows that had been all over the sky for a day began to shoot at each other over Shu County again.  Soldiers on both sides were hit by arrows from time to time, but the defense of the Jiangnan Army on top of the city was obviously much stronger than the defense of Cao's soldiers attacking the city.

    All the finished products, semi-finished armors, defensive weapons, and arrows in Shu County City were all taken out from warehouses and factories by Zhang Zhao and others, and distributed to each soldier.

    The soldiers may be able to save one more life if they are more defensive.  One more repeating crossbow on the city wall can kill more Cao troops.  All capable people in the city were mobilized and entered the temporary craftsman camp to make weapons and armor.

    As for "high-tech weapons such as the repeated crossbow, only the original craftsmen in the city can access and be responsible for manufacturing them."  Sun Ce would definitely not let the slightest hint of the manufacturing method of such a powerful weapon be revealed.

    And the effect of almost everyone in the city being equipped with armor is obvious.  Except for a few soldiers and civilians who were extremely unlucky, they died under stray arrows.  Only a hundred or ten people in the whole city were actually injured by the weak arrows fired by Cao's army on the top of the city.

    On the contrary, the Jiangnan Army used arrows shot from the top of the city by repeating crossbows and bed crossbows with extremely long range.  Almost every arrow can cause inevitable casualties in the attacking Cao army.

    This type of counter-fire battle, in which one side had an absolute advantage, continued for another three days.  Cao Ren, who commanded the entire army, saw that the attack was ineffective, but the casualties of the entire army were increasing.  Worried that it will have a greater impact on the morale of the entire army.

    On the sixth day of the siege, a general attack by the entire army was finally ordered.  I want to capture Shu County today at all costs.

    The war has lasted for several days, and there should be an outcome.  Besides, now Cao Cao's army simply cannot afford to delay, not to mention that Cao Cao, who is still unconscious, will die at any time.  It is also confirmed that the main force of the Jiangnan Army, which crossed the river to ambush Yuan Jun, may return to Shuxian at any time.

    If you cannot capture Shu County as soon as possible, get sufficient supplies and rest.  I'm afraid that Cao Cao, who is already desperate for this battle,?, will fall into a situation of destruction.

    Inspired by the almost crazy generals, Cao¡¯s soldiers, who had had a good meal in the early morning of the sixth day, once again began their siege battle as if they were facing death.

    The crash is finally completed and has been sent to the four doors.  After beating the war drum, they immediately started moving forward in unison.  At the same time, more than 20,000 Cao's soldiers carrying ladders also began to run towards the city wall from all directions.

    After these days of high-intensity combat, the shooting.  The arrows on the top of the city have obviously become sparse, and there are not many arrows left by the defenders.

    Everyone in Cao¡¯s army firmly believed that Shu County would be captured today.
