Cao Cao did not expect Xi Yu's attitude. He was speechless for a moment: Could it be that Xi Yu is still angry?

"Fengyi, did you really have a candle-lit night talk with Fengxiao and the others last night?"

Guo Jia was really unbearable, and then yawned, "Yes, my lord, have you read the silk book?"

Hearing this, Cao Cao just remembered the silk book and said, "Li Dian has gone to buy it, but I haven't read it yet."

"My lord, it's a pity that I didn't read the silk book. Zhuge Kongming in the silk book has already taken office in Xuzhou, serving as an agricultural official."

"What?"

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly widened, and he felt incredulous: Recruiting wise men again?

But he immediately smiled and said: "It's a good thing to have another famous person!"

"But, how old is this Zhuge Kongming? Why have I never heard of him?"

"If the surname is Zhuge, could it be that he is a native of Xuzhou..." Cao Cao suddenly changed his face slightly and asked, "A descendant of Zhuge from Langya?"

Guo Jia immediately smiled and nodded.

"That's true! Haha, that's great!"

Cao Cao felt ecstatic in his heart.

After saying this, he looked at Xi Yu approvingly.

"Fengyi! When I regain the lost territory, I will definitely hand over Xuzhou City to you in the future!"

Cao Cao looked at Xi Yu and said in a deep voice.

Cao Cao didn't know why, but after experiencing this incident, he was no longer as disappointed as before.

On the contrary, he felt that Xi Yu was just helping him manage his group of counselors, but including Xi Yu, they were all Cao Cao's people.

This may be due to Cao Song's words.

At this time, Zhuge Liang, who had already walked away, suddenly turned around and looked at Xi Yu and Cao Cao who were talking. He couldn't help but feel horrified in his heart, "It's unbelievable that Master Xi actually has such a high status in front of Cao Cao."

"Sir, I believe that in the near future, you will also have such a status. With your talents and knowledge, it will not be difficult to help the Han Dynasty!"

Zhuge Yi on the side said with a childish voice and a smile.

"Do you know why I want to serve as an official?"

"Of course it's to make money." Zhuge Yi said without thinking.

Zhuge Liang knocked Zhuge Yi on the head angrily, "Of course I saw the hope of helping the Han Dynasty in Mr. Xi."

The policy of running the school was to respect Confucianism, which attracted hundreds of schools of thought to bloom.

Such courage and thought can be described as "mountains and seas", and he really admired Mr. Xi.

…

In the afternoon of this day, Cao Cao's 80,000 Qingzhou soldiers and 50,000 tiger and leopard cavalry all arrived at Xiapi, Xuzhou.

The majestic team was like a tiger waking up from a rest and opening its eyes, staring covetously at Shouchun City.

Early the next morning, Cao Cao came to the front camp and took over military power, while Xi Yu was arranging internal affairs in the rear.

Qingzhou soldiers, an army of 120,000 troops, went out at the same time, advancing in three directions. The whole army followed the trend and was invincible.

In less than five days, twelve cities were captured and all the territories previously lost were recaptured.

On the seventh day, the grain station was built to ensure grain supplies.

Xi Yu has figured out all the routes, and according to his plan, all military supplies can be delivered on the same day as the city is captured.

As a result, the soldiers on the front line, who had no worries about their future, immediately spread their arms to attack and kill, running wildly like slaughtering pigs and sheep, killing Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses until they were completely defeated.

For a time, Yuan Shu's generals and soldiers felt extremely scared!

They had a great fear of Cao Cao's troops, especially the heavily armored tiger cavalry and light armored leopard cavalry!

As soon as they saw these cavalry, they ran away without any intention of fighting.

Even the generals who defended the city did not dare to continue to defend the city. They had no confidence in defeating Cao Cao's troops.

In this way, Cao Cao did not need any strategy, and his soldiers and horses directly advanced all the way. This really followed Yuan Shao's wish when he wrote to Cao Cao: "Fight to the death!"

When Cao Cao was attacking Shouchun, Sun Ce was not idle. After taking care of his family affairs, he directly led his troops to attack Lujiang.

Sun Ce was strong, brave and good at fighting, and was known as the little overlord.

Sun Ce's cavalry was even more ferocious, and the people near Lujiang were frightened and surrendered one after another!

At the same time, Guan Yu also led his troops to capture the hinterland outside Shouchun City, and was invincible wherever he went.

Within half a month, these three forces were like three beasts, constantly attacking the city and seizing territory, but Yuan Shu was unable to resist.

Yuan Shu had no choice but to put the remaining 120,000 troops and horses in Shouchun City, and at the same time, he also stored 300,000 shi of grain, as if to defend Shouchun City to the death!

For a time, Shouchun City was filled with countless weapons, bows, arrows, swords, and horses. Yuan Shu ordered that no one should go out to fight the enemy.

The walls of Shouchun City are extremely tall. They were attacked by Cao Cao and Guan Yu from both sides, but they actually held on for seven days!

At this time, as Liu Bei and Zhang Fei rushed back from Xiangyang, Jingzhou, Guan Yu took the lead in retreating.

Outside Shouchun City, fighter planes are changing rapidly. If you fail to seize the opportunity, you may suffer heavy losses.

A few days later, under constant siege, corpses were strewn outside Shouchun City, rivers of blood became rivers, and the city was in a mess.

I believe it won't be long before Shouchun City will eventually be breached.

Cao Cao had sufficient food and fodder, so he led his troops to camp outside Shouchun City. He placed all the 150,000 troops collected from the campaign near the city wall and launched a day and night attack on Shouchun City!

Although Guan Yu and others withdrew their troops, they went around to the north of Shouchun, which Cao Cao could not take care of, and blocked Yuan Shu's escape route, never giving Yuan Shu a chance to escape.

This man must be beheaded.

…

At this time, people in Shouchun City were in panic, the people were displaced, and a large amount of food was consumed. The people not only had to flee for their lives, but they also had to beware of soldiers and horses coming to snatch food.

During the war, the soldiers and horses who did not escape have now become a burden in the city and may be killed by Yuan Shu's army at any time, thereby reducing food consumption.

At this time, Yuan Shu had decided to hold on until the spring of next year. He thought that by then, something might happen to Cao Cao's rear.

Yuan Shu placed almost all his hopes on Lu Bu.

If Lu Bu can attack Yanzhou again, it may force Cao Cao to give up attacking Shouchun.

At this time, in the Shouchun Palace, a group of dancers were dancing.

Yuan Shu drove away all the civil servants and generals who came to see him for advice, and had fun with his concubines in the harem alone.

The dancers and concubines forced themselves to smile, and everyone knew very well how slim the hope of victory was.

Everyone was just filled with sadness, accompanying Yuan Shu in life and death.

In the main hall, Yuan Shu's face was haggard, his eye sockets were sunken, and his eyes were bloodshot. These days, wine and sex had almost emptied his body.

A group of ministers under his command persuaded him to flee Shouchun City, but... he had no idea where to flee.

Fifteen days ago, he had written to Yuan Shao asking for help.

In the letter, Yuan Shu put aside his dignity and said that he and Yuan Shao were originally brothers of the Yuan family. Although there had been enmity before, now he hoped that Yuan Shao would put aside his past grievances and save him from the fire and water.

But what Yuan Shu never expected was that Yuan Shao not only beat up his messenger, but also threatened to write a letter asking Cao Cao to beat Yuan Shu to death. He would never rescue Yuan Shu, and even made Yuan Shu give up as soon as possible.

Yuan Shao's determination immediately shattered Yuan Shu's last hope. He felt deeply desperate and unable to recover.

"Pour the wine!"

Yuan Shu's face was very gloomy.

"Your Majesty..." The concubine trembled with fright and shouted softly.

"Just pour the wine, don't be afraid, beauty, let's have a good night..."

Seeing that the concubine was very frightened, Yuan Shu immediately looked intoxicated.

Yuan Shu decided to spend his last days in the palace of Shouchun City, and when Shouchun City was breached, he could run as far as he could.

After drinking a glass of wine, Yuan Shu put his left hand on the concubine and slowly moved away. His eyes slowly fell on the imperial seal, and his right hand slowly stretched out with trembling...

There was a light that seemed to be fear in his bloodshot eyes, and he remembered those words, if you are ordered by God, you will live forever.

"Haha, what a man who is destined to live a long and prosperous life. It seems that I do not have such a destiny..."

In his early years, Yuan Shu once had a dream in which he saw a male deer rising above a large man, followed by a crowd of heroes vying for the deer.

So he interpreted the dream, and someone told him that the deer was the highway, and the princes of the world would follow Yuan Shu, thus becoming the emperor of the Han Dynasty and strengthening the Han Dynasty!

From then on, he felt that he was a man with destiny.

After getting the jade seal passed down from the country, this thought became even more out of control...
