Hefei is an important town in Huainan, the gateway of the Central Plains, the shore of Chaohu Lake, the Xiangjiang River with the lake, Nantong Wuyue, since ancient times it is the place where soldiers must fight.
Before Yuan Shu ruled Huainan, Hefei had always been the seat of Huainan County, and it was not until Yuan Shu took control of this territory that it was replaced by Shouchun.
The topography of Hefei is dangerous, divided into two cities, the old and the new, there are several rivers of small scale in the middle, the terrain is undulating, the ridges depend on each other, and the overall terrain is hilly.
The east is called Hefei Old City, which has existed since the Spring and Autumn Period, and the west is called Hefei New Town, which was built in the Guangwu period and has a history of 200 years.
After Xue Rengui retreated to Hefei from Shouchun to meet Ma Dai, he abandoned the new city, hoarded the remaining more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in the old city, where the city wall was relatively thicker, pulled up the suspension bridge, and closed the city gate.
The whole army climbed the city wall and defended it against all odds.
After Cao Cao took Shouchun, he couldn't stop, leaving some civil officials to settle down, and personally led more than 100,000 people to follow the pace of the Han army to Hefei, and at the same time ordered Cao Ren and Guo Ziyi to move to Hefei and gather heavy troops to storm the city.
Strive to pull out this fortress as soon as possible, march to the mouth of the mustache, and point the sword at Jinling.
However, Xue Rengui led Lu Junyi and Ma Dai to defend the city, stubbornly withstood several fierce attacks by Cao's army, and still stood firm under the invasion of nearly 200,000 troops.
In particular, the "clouds and smoke" in Xue Rengui's hands can be called a big sniper in the era of cold weapons, and with Xue Rengui's shooting skills of piercing Yang in 100 steps, it is simply Cao Jun's nightmare, almost referring to who shoots whom, and there is no false hair.
In half a month, there were more than 20 generals and colonels of Cao Jun who died under Xue Rengui's arrows, and there were countless soldiers.
Every time the city was attacked, Cao Jun would feel his scalp tingle and a chill under his jaw when he saw Xue Li's banner fluttering on the city wall, lest he would be shot through the throat by an arrow if he was not careful.
Xue Rengui grasped the psychology of Cao Jun, ordered to plant the "Xue" character banner on all four city walls, and selected more than a dozen soldiers from the army who were somewhat similar to his appearance, and put on armor similar to himself to make a fool of himself, which disturbed Cao Jun's mind even more, and the second monk was puzzled, not knowing which was true and which was false This made the soldiers of the Cao army look forward and backward every time they attacked the city, and they were timid, so after more than half a month, they were at a loss in the face of the impregnable old city of Hefei, and it was still difficult to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
When the news of the Battle of Wet Whiskers came, Cao Cao almost dropped his jaw in shock: "What Huang Zu died in battle, Jiang Xia lost."
Cai Mao was killed, Guo Fengxiao was captured, and Chi Gong led his troops to recover the wet beard" The dejected Wen Ping knelt on the ground and reported: "Back to Your Majesty, the criminal minister only got a report from the scout when he led his troops to retreat to Hefei, and all this was done by Liu Wuji, the son of Liu Wei.
He first claimed to be Wang Mang's descendant, saying that he had buried the treasure of the rich and rival country in Danyang, and Cai Mao went to Danyang to hunt for treasures and ambush him to kill him. ” Naturally, the scout's report will not be 100% accurate, and until now, Wen Ping still thinks that Liu Wuji and Ling Tong were ordered by a master to go to Maosukou to deceive Cai Mao to go to Danyang, and ambush and kill them in the territory.
I never dreamed that Cai Mao and dozens of pro-soldiers actually died at the hands of two teenagers who did not reach the weak crown.
When he heard that all this originated from Liu Wuji, his son who was less than ten years old, Cao Cao was even more dumbfounded, showing an expression of disbelief: "Liu Bian's son is simply against the sky, and he should give birth to a son like Liu Wuji, like Sun Quan, Liu Qi and others are simply pigs and dogs."
Huang Zu's barrage was easily dissolved by Han Shizhong, and Cai Mao died under Liu Wuji's knife with a smile, and Cao Cao could bear it.
The only one who made Cao Cao's heart cut like a knife was his most important strategist Guo Jia was actually arrested, although Cao Cao didn't know how Guo Jia was caught, but that didn't matter anymore, the important thing was that Guo Jia has now become a prisoner of the Han army.
"How was Bonghyo caught?"
Cao Cao's sharp eyes radiated an angry light, and the five fingers on the table grabbed it fiercely, and he couldn't wait to poke the five finger holes in the table and let Guo Jia get out of it.
Wen Ping, who was kneeling on the ground, looked ashamed: "I heard that those two children took Cai Mao's tiger talisman and token and infiltrated the city of Wet Beard, and used the same words to deceive Lord Fengxiao.
Although Lord Fengxiao felt suspicious, the two children were holding Cai Mao's tiger talisman and arrows, so he ordered the two teenagers to be imprisoned and sent people to Mao and Danyang to find Cai Mao and verify the authenticity. ” "Ahem" Unkempt, disheveled, and embarrassed, Wen Ping coughed and continued to report what he knew to Cao Cao: "Who knew that in the middle of the night, Guo Fengxiao was nowhere to be found, and these two teenagers took Guo Jia's token and Cai Mao's tiger talisman, and came to Dongguan City to falsely claim that Misu was attacked by the Han army, so I quickly returned to help." ” Seeing that there was a fire in the mustache, and the two teenagers had important documents in their hands, Weichen was no longer suspicious, so he led his troops to abandon Dongguan.
After returning to the city of Wet Beard, he knew the plan, and searched for Guo Fengxiao, and the captain Chi Gong led the army to kill Dongguan.
The guilty ministers knew that it was difficult to protect them, so they could only instigate some of Cai Mao's old troops to come to Hefei to meet His Majesty."
Cao Cao's eyes were slightly closed, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he muttered to himself: "Fraud Cai Mao, deceive Fengxiao, and Zhongye, the whole plan is interlocking and completed in one go."
It is estimated that it is definitely not something that two or two teenagers can do, I guess that the whole plan was planned by Liu Ji or Chen Gong and the like, otherwise these two teenagers are simply too rebellious."
Speaking of Liu Wuji, Cao Cao suddenly remembered the two daughters who were coerced to Jinling by Liu Wei as hostages three or four years ago.
If I remember correctly, the eldest daughter Cao Huan should be fourteen years old after the New Year, and was married to the crown prince Liu Qi by Liu Weixu; The second daughter Cao Yi should be twelve years old after the Chinese New Year, and she was promised to be married to Liu Yu, the king of Lujiang, so Liu Wuji has to call herself "father-in-law".
"I still remember that Liu Wei promised Kuai Liang that no matter what the relationship with my Cao Wei is in the future, he will not be embarrassed for my two daughters, and I hope he can speak his mind" Cao Cao's eyes wandered, and he groaned secretly in his heart.
In order to win the world, I can only sacrifice my two daughters, and I am left to fate whether I die or live.
Just when Cao Cao was furious, scouts from all walks of life came to report one after another: "Your Majesty, Zhuge Liang has led reinforcements through Lu'an, and it is expected that he will arrive at Hefei City in two days."
"Your Majesty, after Wei Chigong broke through the wet beard, he has led a team composed of soldiers, monks, Taoist priests and others to march towards Hefei, and it is expected to enter Hefei in three days at the latest."
Listening to all kinds of unfavorable news coming one after another, Cao Cao's face was gloomy like the sky before a storm, and he ordered to summon all the generals above the general to come to his imperial tent to discuss the strategy of breaking the city.
After the generals gathered, Cao Cao, who was sitting upright, glanced at the full tent of civil and military affairs, and finally fell on Fan Zeng: "Prime Minister Fan, how much are the wall-hitting cars, mounds, and tunnels prepared?"
Fan stepped out of the ranks: "Back to Your Majesty's words, through the unremitting efforts of Cao Wei and Sima Tong, our army has built twenty mounds as high as five zhang outside the northern city wall of Hefei, and each mound can accommodate thirty crossbowmen to shoot at the city wall at the same time. ” "Yes, with these mounds, you can almost suppress the Han crossbowmen on the city" Cao Cao squinted his eyes and nodded in approval, and asked: "How many wall crashing cars have been made" Sima Wrong replied: "Back to Your Majesty's words, five wall-crashing cars have been built according to the design of craftsmen, and they will be put into use tomorrow and slam into the city wall of Hefei." ” Cao Cao's eyes suddenly opened: "Well, didn't you say that you will build at least eight wall-hitting cars within ten days, why are there three missing?"
"Back to Your Majesty, due to the substandard wood used, the city wall could not be destroyed after several experiments, and it has been demolished and redone by craftsmen."
Sima Co sweated on his back and replied with a snort.
Cao Cao's eyebrows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "No matter what the reason is, if the task is not completed, it is not completed, and all the reasons are excuses that I have decided to deduct half a year's salary, you can accept it."
Sima Cuo knelt down on one knee and confessed his mistake: "The criminal is willing to be punished" Cao Cao bowed his head slightly, and said loudly: "If you have a mistake, you will be punished, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded if the five wall-hitting cars you supervised can exert their due power and destroy the city wall of Hefei, I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold and ten thousand stones of corn."
"Thank you Your Majesty for your understanding" Sima Zhuoji bowed, "The criminal minister must fight to the death and atone for his sins" Cao Cao's gaze moved from Sima Cuo's body to Cao Shen's body again, and said solemnly: "Dedication, how many tunnels have you dug in the oversight, and what is the depth?"
Cao Shen handed over his hand and reported: "Back to Your Majesty's words, Weichen led 20,000 soldiers to dig day and night, and has dug six tunnels outside the west city wall of Hefei, and the cave is about one and a half zhang underground. ” "It's shallow," Cao Cao simply denied Cao Shen's exploits, "The depth must be at least two zhang below to be possible for a successful sneak attack."
I will impose the same penalty on you and Sima Pair, deducting half a year's salary, but if the tunnels you oversee play a huge role in tomorrow's siege, I will also give you the same reward. ” "The minister obeys the order" Counselor Cao received the order, "Tomorrow will lead the three armies and attack the city with all their might" Cao Cao Huoran got up and glanced at the generals under his account, including Dian Wei, Shi Jin, Cao Wenzhao, Han Baohu, Wen Ping and others, as well as Cao Ren and Cao Hong, who had just arrived with their troops yesterday, and Sima Yi, who was injured in the shoulder.
He cleared his throat and stretched out his hand to Hefei: "Soldiers, tomorrow the whole army will fight to the death, thunderbolts, well fences, mounds, wall-hitting cars, and tunnels will all be put into use, and we must break through the Hefei city gate before the arrival of the Eastern Han Dynasty reinforcements."

Otherwise, our army's plan to drink the Yangtze River and attack Jinling will be in vain."
The generals hugged their wrists together and promised: "Your Majesty is directly in charge, rest assured, tomorrow's ministers and others will definitely fight a bloody battle, although they will not retreat, even if they fight to the last person, they will take Hefei" Cao Cao finally issued another arrow, urging Guo Ziyi, Jia Fu and Shan Xiongxin to march with all their might, come to participate in the Battle of Hefei as soon as possible, and strive to take this important town while attacking Zhuge Liang head-on, and finish his work in one battle t1706231537:
