"Young master! Young master! There's a letter from the city! " When Gongsun Yi lifted the curtain, he did not notice that Gongsun Xu was sleeping.
Gongsun Xu suddenly sat up, he casually rubbed his sleepy eyes and anxiously asked: "What letter? Quick, bring it over for us to take a look! " After he finished writing his home letter less than an hour ago, he was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. He fell asleep on his bed, and just as he started dreaming, Gongsun Yi woke him up.
As the space within which the silk could be written was limited, Mo Bingmei only wrote a few words in the letter: Si Ma Xin; Xi Men Yi; within three days, use the fire as the symbol.
Seeing these words, Gongsun Xu was overjoyed, and laughed: "Haha, good! Great! Bing Mei had made a great contribution this time! Xiao Yi, invite Feng Xiao and Zi Long over! "
When Gongsun Yi heard that it was Mo Bingmei's letter, his eyes couldn't help but flash with a hint of happiness. He and Gongsun Jia had both been taught blade techniques by Mo Bingmei a few times, so he was extremely respectful towards Mo Bingmei. He happily agreed, turned around, and ran out.
"This brat …" Gongsun Xu laughed and shook his head, he was too lazy to bother others to help him, so he went out to get some water to wash himself.
Just as Gongsun Xu finished washing her face and rinsing her mouth, Guo Jia walked in with Zhao Yun and Lian Tian. Zhao Yun's mental state was slightly better, but his eyes were also somewhat dark, obviously he did not rest well.
Gongsun Xu asked in shock: "Feng Xiao, you couldn't really have gone to find Zi Long last night, right?"
Guo Jia rolled his eyes and did not answer. He walked straight to his seat and sat down.
Zhao Yun smiled bitterly and nodded his head, as he could not help but yawn.
Gongsun Xu sighed: "Fortunately I am not preparing to continue my assault on the city. Otherwise, how could Zi Long be so tired?"
"No more besieging?" Guo Jia cried out in shock, his expression extremely doubtful.
Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said: "This general is not tired, as long as Master gives the order, this general will definitely be able to take down the fortress today!"
"Take a look at this first." Gongsun Xu laughed and passed Mo Bingmei's letter to him.
read out those words in a low voice, and then laughed out loud. "Haha, congratulations to your subjects! "Looks like the ruined city will be here in three days!"
Zhao Yun pondered about these words silently, and his eyes quickly lit up. Since the establishment of the White Horse Camp, they had not been able to attack the large city, and a few days ago, they had lost quite a bit of power at the Qinghe County's side but were unable to attack the city. There were also rumors in the army that the White Horse Camp lived up to her reputation, Zhao Yun had always kept this in mind, if they could cooperate and attack the Henei County, those rumors would definitely break down on their own.
When he thought of how he was about to defeat the famous Cao Mengde in his entire history, Gongsun Xu was in a good mood. He laughed and asked: "Feng Xiao, the Jizhou Cauldron suddenly appeared and landed in father's hands.
Without even thinking, Guo Jia answered casually: "It depends on the situation inside the Qing He City. If Father-in-law can send people to the city to take the opportunity to create chaos, it is very possible that Yuan Shao will abandon the city and rush towards the Henei County to clash with Cao Cao Cao, if Father-in-law is able to grab the opportunity, he will definitely inflict heavy injuries on Yuan Shao! If Yuan Shao was determined to defend the city with his life, losing the support of the people was only a matter of time! If I were Yuan Shao, I would have issued an order to break out the day the Jizhou Cauldron appeared. But Yuan Shao is a person who hesitates at the most critical moment, so even if he decides to break through the encirclement, I am afraid that it would drag on for a few days. As long as Father-in-law is ready, Yuan Shao will not have any chance! "
Gongsun Xu's tone was relaxed as he asked, "Are you saying that you only need to send people to the Qinghe County to warn Father that Yuan Shao doesn't need to do anything else to break through the encirclement?"
"That's right!" Guo Jia laughed complacently: "Whether or not Yuan Shao chooses to break through, will not affect the outcome of his final defeat! If Cao Mengde is able to defeat our White Horse Camp in time and bring the army to meet up with Yuan Shao, they would still have a chance to turn the tide of the battle. Unfortunately, Cao Mengde is also on the verge of destruction, and if nothing major goes wrong, the outcome of the battle between the Jizhou s is already set! "
Gongsun Xu thought about what Guo Jia had said and could not help but reveal a smile that said he agreed with him. Guo Jia was right, the current situation was obvious. Unless Liu Bei, Lv Bu or Li Que came over to save them, Yuan Cao and the other two would be destroyed. After this great victory, his father and son would be able to completely own the Four Great Regions of the Northern Lands, and with the Jizhou Cauldron in their hands, they would have twice the results with half the effort. If they did not take the opportunity to capture the Yanzhou now, when would they? Then, when the time comes, I can 'welcome' the Son of Heaven into the Youzhou. When the time comes, I, his father, will be able to disgrace the Son of Heaven, and after occupying a just and righteous position, I can attack Liu Bei, Lv Bu and the others in the west. When that time comes, most of China will be under my control, who in the world can compete with me?
Guo Jia stood up at this moment, with a serious expression on his face he straightened his clothes, cupped his hands and said: "I congratulate you in advance, after this big battle, Father-in-law and Master will have the wealthiest and wealthiest states in Hebei, seizing the whole world is something that will happen sooner or later!"
Zhao Yun also stood up and cupped his fists as he said in a deep voice, "This lowly general also congratulates you in advance for seizing the world!"
"Good!" Haha "Gongsun Xu clapped his hands and laughed:" When that day comes, I will share the glory with you! "
"Thank you, my lord!" Guo Jia and Zhao Yun cupped their hands together in gratitude, their expressions respectful. Normally, they were extremely casual in front of Gongsun Xu, especially Guo Jia, who had always treated Gongsun Xu as a good friend. He would laugh and curse in front of Gongsun Xu very casually, but when the time came for him to be serious, Guo Jia would definitely not be vague.
Gongsun Xu laughed and said, "Alright, alright, we are all on the same side, why are you being so serious? Sit down! Let's discuss how we can seize the Henei County s. "
After Guo Jia sat down, he said in a deep voice, "There are far too few soldiers and horses on Cao Cao Cao's side and the county soldier in Gao Gang's hands are useless. If they were to defend the city at all costs, it would bring us a lot of trouble and trouble. However, with the help of internal forces, as long as the army left the city, there would be nothing to fear! Therefore, I believe that as long as we succeed in seizing the west gate, there won't be much of a problem anymore! "
Gongsun Xu nodded in agreement, then asked Zhao Yun: "What do you think?"
Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said: "This general agrees with Officer Guo's words, the only thing I want to remind you is to be on guard against Cao Cao leading his troops to break out of the encirclement! Cao Cao has been managing the Yanzhou for a while now, and he has some background. If he can return to the Yanzhou smoothly, it will definitely bring us more trouble! General Zhang He, leading the three thousand cavalrymen, will be on standby. The moment Cao Cao is found escaping, we will chase him down quickly! "
Gongsun Xu lightly knocked on the desk and laughed: "Alright, this matter is settled then. When we get back, I will find Zhang He to pass down the orders. Is there anything else I should pay attention to? "
Guo Jia pondered for a while, and said softly, "Before we can work together to seize the city gate, it would be best for us to think of a way to confuse Cao Mengde, so that he won't have the energy to bother about the defense of the city gate. Only then can we ensure that Mo Niangzi's actions will be smooth sailing."
Gongsun Xu scratched his chin and thought, then asked: "What method should I use?"
Guo Jia casually said: "Cao Chun! Now is the time to use him. If we let him go, let him tell Cao Mengde that as long as we agree to return to the Yanzhou at once, we will release our encirclement and retreat 30 kilometers away. Cao Mengde will definitely consider this proposal, and with such a heavy issue, he will not make a decision immediately. He will definitely gather his subordinates to discuss about it, and this way, he will be able to focus his attention on this matter and ignore the situation at the city gates. "
Gongsun Xu hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head and agreed to Guo Jia's suggestion. He looked at Guo Jia and asked: "Who wants to see Cao Chun?"
Guo Jia laughed: "It's most suitable for you to go personally. You were the one who captured Cao Chun, so he definitely won't think about too many things when facing you."
Gongsun Xu stood up, and said solemnly: "Alright! I'll go see Cao Chun right now. Feng Xiao, write a letter to Cao Mengde in my name saying that our army's losses are not small, and if you want to suspend the war for a few days, let him think about whether he still needs to continue fighting. In order to show his sincerity, I will release Cao Chun today. "That's about it. You can read and write it."
Guo Jia also stood up, and laughed: "This is just a small matter, I will be able to write it quickly!"
Gongsun Xu instructed Zhao Yun: "Zi Long, go and determine the group that is attacking the city gate. Let them gather their energy and prepare to attack at any time!"
"Here!" This lowly general will do it right away! " Zhao Yun cupped his fist and bowed, then turned and walked out.
"Write it here, I will go see Cao Chun." Gongsun Xu pointed to the pen and ink on the table, and then followed Zhao Yun out.
Guo Jia yawned lightly, walked to the table and started to grind the ink.
After Cao Chun was captured, he was strictly guarded. The last time Gongsun Xu went to see him, he did not show himself again. In the past few days, Cao Chun had been extremely worried about Cao Cao's situation, but he couldn't do anything as the guards were all Gongsun Xu's guards. They received Gongsun Xu's orders, other than sending food and water, they were forbidden from talking with Cao Chun.
Suddenly, he heard Gongsun Xu's voice come from outside. He immediately stood up and stared at the tent flap.
One of the guards opened the curtain and Gongsun Xu walked in with big strides. He looked at the iron chains on Cao Chun's feet, cupped his hands and smiled: "General, have you been well these past few days?"
"Not bad!" Cao Chun cupped his hands in return, and said anxiously: "General Gongsun, can you tell me about the situation? Cao Chun is forever grateful! "
Gongsun Xu laughed as he shook his head, "This general is too lazy to tell you these things. After you return to Cao Mengde's side, you can ask for yourself!"
"What?!" Cao Chun was shocked, and asked in disbelief: "General Gongsun is letting me go?"
Gongsun Xu laughed, "That's right! Someone, release the shackles on General Cao! "
