    "Back off! Back off!" The cry resounded through the city. A large number of defenders retreated from the battlements to the horse road. They all looked gray and dusty, but the expressions on their faces were filled with inexplicable excitement.

    "Is it going to drop? This is best" Wei Xu breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that the tight feeling in his chest was finally relieved.

    It¡¯s hard to be a spy, but it¡¯s even harder to be a traitor!  Only those who have experienced this kind of thing will understand.

    If he could choose again, Wei Xu would rather not get involved with those guys like Hou Cheng and Song Xian.  Although his temper was a bit grumpy, Lu Bu was his brother-in-law after all, and considering this relationship, he would not treat him too badly.

    But who would have thought that Qingzhou would really gain the upper hand?

    Chen Gongtai¡¯s original analysis was very reasonable. Although Wang Yu defeated Yuan Shao and captured most of Hebei, his situation was far from as good as it seemed.

    Due to the policy of suppressing powerful people, eight or nine out of ten powerful people in the world are hostile.  Most people are intimidated by its power and dare not speak out rashly, but private resistance is inevitable.  Coupled with those not within Qingzhou's jurisdiction, this is a quite large opposition force.

    Once the war started in the Central Plains, why was Cao Cao able to get so many helpers?  Even the troops from Xiliang and Yizhou traveled thousands of miles to help in the battle, and the Yizhou soldiers even brought their own dry food!  In the final analysis, it is a question of many people getting help if they are right, and few if they are wrong.

    There are actually more people who have a favorable impression of Qingzhou, but those who support the New Deal are just a bunch of traffickers and the lowest status people.  You don't even have your next meal. What help can you provide to the Qingzhou Army?

    According to Chen Gongtai, if Wang Yu hadn't been too stubborn and used his methods to defeat Yuan Shao, he would have become the world's hegemon.  Celebrities came to vote one after another. The banners pointed, and the people followed them. Cao Cao, who was cramped in Yan and Henan, had no qualifications to stand in the way, so he was bulldozed in an instant.

    Facts have indeed verified this statement.

    Let¡¯s look at what Wang Yu has done in the past few years since he tied with Hebei.

    " Taking over Xuzhou is reasonable. It is a fertile land. In order to compete for Xuzhou, we have to fight several battles with surrounding forces. It is not a loss to get a stable rear area.

    But what happens next?  He actually ran to Youzhou as if he was full!  The reason is to resist the Hulu invasion.

    Isn¡¯t this a joke?  Qingzhou's actual occupation in Hebei is limited to the counties along the river in the south, which are far away from the frontier fortress.  There are three independent forces in the north: Zhang Yan, Gongsun Zan, and Liu Yu. The relationship between them is not harmonious, and they only regard Wang Yu as the leader of the alliance.

    "If it was according to what Chen Gongtai said, Wang Yu shouldn't have paid so much attention to it. He left half of his troops to look after his family, while the other half went to the Central Plains in a mighty manner. How could Cao Cao, who was surrounded by enemies, stop him?

    It doesn't matter if he's at home, since Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan are still blocking him anyway. Even if they are defeated, Hu Qi's troops are almost at their limit, and they can just wait for a head-on attack.  After defeating Hu Qi, not only did he regain his reputation for repelling the enemy, but he could also take advantage of the opportunity to take over the territory and remaining soldiers of the two crippled allies. How difficult would it be to defeat Liu Yu smoothly?

    Another advantage of doing this is that it will not offend Gongsun Du, but can continue to maintain the alliance.  Whether it's about making friends at a distance or attacking at home, as long as the borders are not bordering, the difficulty of diplomatic work will immediately drop by two or three levels.

    It would be foolish to ignore the two best strategies and empty the house and take all the belongings to go thousands of miles away to fight against the powerful Hu Qi.

    Finally, Wang Yu¡¯s handling of this war in the Central Plains, which was about the fate of the world, also has many issues worthy of discussion.

    "If he hadn't refused to support Yuan Shu in proclaiming himself emperor, the latter would not have fallen to the other side so quickly.  If Yuan Shu is restrained, Jiang Dongjun will not be able to let go, and the alliance will become in name only.  In addition, the threat from the Xiliang army is actually not completely impossible to resolve through diplomatic means.

    There are too many things that Chen Gong pointed out, plus what Wei Xu saw himself. All in all, Wang Yu's style has always been so inappropriate and criticized.

    Because of this, Wei Xucai was so dissatisfied with his brother-in-law and lord's choice to defect to Wang Yu that he felt rebellious.

    However, despite making more than one or two wrong steps, Wang Yu kept making great progress. No matter what kind of adversity he faced or what kind of opponent he faced, he was always the one who had the last laugh!

    This is like this in Hebei, this is like this in Xuzhou, and this is like this in Huainan The rebellion in Puyang couldn't kill him, and the cold wind in Saibei couldn't blow him. Even in this war in the Central Plains, where the whole world was an enemy, Wang Yu couldn't kill him.  Although there have been twists and turns, we are always moving forward steadily!

    The 300,000 troops of Xiliang Army were defeated in one battle and were surrounded on three sides.The situation has collapsed, and Cao Gong still has the upper hand, but this advantage is not stable at all.  Even if he could successfully capture Xiao Xiuwu and cut off Wang Yu's arm, he would only be able to win back a victory, but he was still far from the final victory.

    Wei Xu sighed, it would be a good outcome if his brother-in-law was willing to surrender.

    Zhang Wenyuan was very popular in Qingzhou, so his surrender to Cao would definitely have a great impact on him.  Coupled with his niecethat girl has now truly taken control of the military. Even Duke Cao is fascinated by the cavalry under her command.  As long as she brings in a few hundred cavalry, she can become a marquis with almost all the credit, right?

    The benefits don¡¯t end there.

    The Puyang Army has suffered heavy losses in the fierce battles in recent days, but there are still thousands of elites in the city. The world-famous Fiery Iron Cavalry is built on the basis of the Puyang Army, which is known as the Wolf Cavalry in Bingzhou.  Did it come out?

    In addition, surrender can also give you a big gift.

    When the Yinwu Army was attacked by the Puyang Army, it was dispersed by Cao's superior force.  To say they were broken up doesn't necessarily mean they ran away in pieces.  What this army is best at is not head-on combat, but these little tricks of sneak attack and escape.

    The soldiers and horses dispersed, but that Wei Yan foolishly followed, saying that they wanted to live and die together. With Wei Xu's behavior, the other party was probably just trying to win people's hearts.

    Although this man is a bit stupid, he has a high status in the Qingzhou Army and is Wang Yu's confidant.  Giving him as a gift to Duke Cao will definitely add another weight to the balance of the war.

    In addition to these achievements, Wei Xu was a little bit happy to not be a traitor.  Although this is not your first betrayal and there is no heavy psychological burden, you still shouldn't do such an immoral thing if you can, right?  It will hurt moral integrity.

    ¡°Bang!¡±

    Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the top of the city. The base of the siege ladder stopped five feet away from the city wall, and the barbed top of the ladder hit the mud brick wall heavily.

    "Kill!" Several angry shouts came from the city.

    "Kill them all, kill them all!" More people shouted. Wei Xu, who was immersed in longing and relief, was so frightened by the loud shouting that he almost fell off the city wall.

    It was only then that he was shocked to find that although they gave up the city wall, the defenders had no intention of throwing down their weapons and surrendering. There was no white flag hanging on the top of the city, or anyone shouting to the city.  The gray-faced guys around him were staring at the battlements with sharp eyes, and the hands holding weapons were full of wrinkled veins!

    "So" Wei Xu groaned in pain and finally understood.

    My stubborn and proud brother-in-law is not someone who bends the knee easily.  He ordered the soldiers to retreat from the battlements, not to surrender, but to put the enemy up, so that Cao Jun's long-range weapons could not be used, and he could only fight with the defenders face to face!

    "I'm so stupid, really"

    Wei Xu saw the majestic figure under the banner of the general. The long wind blew across the city and resonated with the Fang Tian painted halberd that had killed countless people. It made an unyielding sound: "Woo"

    He saw another majestic figure stand up and walk to Lu Bu's side, holding a big knife in his hand, his purple face full of smiles.  The leisurely look was as if what they were about to face was not tens of thousands of enemy soldiers, but troops waiting for them to review.

    On the other side, another silent figure also appeared.  There is no unnecessary expression as always, but the sword and hooked shield in his hand are sharp and sharp!

    The shadow of the sun moves by little by little, and everyone on the city is anxiously waiting.

    "Click, rub, rub" There was a dense climbing sound under the city wall, getting louder and louder, getting closer!

    Finally, a human head poked out from behind the battlements.  Obviously, this is a very experienced military commander who knows how to be prepared for the enemy to ambush in the corridor.

    "Kill!" At a glance, he found his opponent hiding in the distance, and his morale was immediately boosted. He shouted loudly, waved the three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand and jumped onto the city wall.  Following closely behind were a dozen of the most agile warriors.

    The most important thing in siege is to occupy the bridgehead. As long as the front has a firm foothold, the follow-up troops will follow up in a steady stream, drowning the defenders like a tide.  No matter what the enemy's intentions are behind hiding in the distance, this is always true.

    "General Yan is up!"

    "General Yan ascends the broken city first!"

    There were loud cheers below the city.  The first to enter the city was General Yan Ming. Apart from his title as a fierce general, the most distinctive feature was the three-pointed, two-edged sword in his hand.  Now that the brave general has climbed to the top of the city and has a firm footing, will there be any doubts about the city's destruction?

      Suddenly, everyone¡¯s shouts stopped for a moment.  They saw a sudden flash of cold light on the city wall.

    A long sword swept across and went straight to Yan Ming's waist.  Yan Ming realized that the situation was not good, so he yelled and waved the three-pointed knife to parry. Unexpectedly, an unbearable force came from the knife pole, which almost knocked his feet off the ground.  Before he could recover from his shock, the enemy general with the sword flew up silently and hit him in the crotch.

    "Ah!" Yan Ming let out an earth-shattering scream, flew upside down, and fell directly from the mid-air to the top of the city.

    Several soldiers holding linen pieces under the ladder rushed to the rescue.  Yan Ming's huge body was blocked by the linen, and his fall was gone.  He rolled halfway on the cloth, his hands covering the vital parts of his crotch, and he collapsed softly under the wall.

    The other Cao soldiers who attacked the city also realized that they had been fooled and were horrified.

    Hundreds of fierce soldiers suddenly appeared on the previously silent city wall, and they rushed up and slashed them to death.  The soldiers who stormed the city were outnumbered and were killed in a panic. However, the archers responsible for covering the city were unable to aim because the enemy and ourselves were mixed together. They held their bows for a long time and could not fire an arrow.

    The offensive and defensive battle started in another situation.

    This fighting method is a bit less grand than the previous firing of thousands of arrows and powerful crossbows, but it is even more intense!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
