Chapter 1012 Surprise Attack on Xiapi

Hearing Chen Deng's words, Zhang Jia felt relieved. Chen Deng was a local nobleman in Xuzhou. Naturally, he could not really work for Cao Cao. He was just planning for his own interests. It seemed that Chen Deng did not intend to lead his army to resist him.

Zhang Jaw turned his head and said: "Prefect Chen, Cao Cao is in danger. It is only a matter of time before he is completely destroyed. It's just a matter of time before Grand Administrator Chen goes north with our army to attack Xiapi. When the time comes, Zhang Jaw will definitely express his gratitude to the general for Governor Chen." How's the gong?"

Hearing Zhang Jia's initiative to invite, Chen Deng shook his head: "Thank you, General Zhang, but no need. I wish General Zhang a great victory."

What does the Chen family rely on to survive today? It's not the savings of the Chen family over the past few hundred years, nor the two generations of heroes Chen Gui and Chen Deng, but the tens of thousands of Danyang soldiers. As long as these people are here, the Chen family will stand like a rock and cannot fall down no matter what.

Chen Deng's son, Chen Su, is an honest man. Chen Deng has no confidence in his son. He does not seek to make great achievements, but stability is enough.

Seeing that Chen Deng was unwilling to agree, he opened his jaw and said without any embarrassment: "Well, in that case, I will lead my army northward. I'll see you later, Governor Chen."

"I wish General Zhang great success, but I won't send him off." Chen Deng bent down and cupped his hands.

"Let's go!" Zhang Jiao turned the horse's head and rode away with hundreds of followers.

"Father, do we really not send some soldiers and horses to follow General Zhang to make contributions?" Chen Su worriedly asked: "It's not that children also want to pursue fame, but if we don't send troops, I'm afraid that General Zhang will complain in his heart and wait until the big day. The general really defeated Prime Minister Cao, we"

"It doesn't matter, Su'er. As a father, I don't ask you to be very successful. As long as you can inherit my Chen family's business, you don't have to get involved in other things." Chen Deng said slowly: "This world is about to change."

Xiapi City.

Xiapi City is located in the heart of Xuzhou. Lu Bu was defeated again and again by Cao Cao's offensive, and was finally captured in Xiapi City. Therefore, Cao Cao moved the emperor Liu Bian from Pengcheng to Xiapi.

Because of the war, the atmosphere in Xiapi City seemed a bit tense, but it was relatively okay. After all, it was in the center of Xuzhou and surrounded by many counties and counties, so it was relatively safe.

The guards on the top of Xiapi City were observing as usual. Suddenly, they saw smoke and dust rising in the distance. Their expressions changed greatly and they shouted to the Lord of the Gate: "The Lord of the Gate, it's not good, it's not good! There are a large number of enemy troops!" "

The prince was surprised when he heard this: "Where is it?"

He looked around and saw smoke and dust rising in the distance, cavalry trampling the ground, and the sound of people shouting and horses neighing, surrounding the entire Xiapi City from all directions. It was clear that the enemy was surrounding them.

"Ring the bell, the enemy is coming!"

This gatekeeper was also surprised, because Xiapi City is surrounded by counties and counties. Logically speaking, it is impossible for the enemy army to appear. How could the enemy army suddenly appear in Xiapi City, and there was no news from the surrounding counties and counties? Any news? Could it be that the enemy army is a divine weapon descending from heaven?

Boom, boom, boom! The alarm bells were ringing, and the guards at the four gates of Xiapi City were all nervous. They stepped up to the towers to be on guard.

"The whole army quickly cut down trees to build siege equipment. We will capture Xiapi City as soon as possible within three days. No one is allowed to escape. Do you understand?"

Zhang Jaw gave an order, and more than 40,000 people immediately surrounded Xiapi City. Zhang Jaw did not intend to let any enemy in the city go to let him know the news. It would be bad if Cao Cao knew about it and led his troops to come for reinforcements.

More than 40,000 Nanyang troops immediately mobilized and surrounded Xiapi City. At the same time, tens of thousands of troops scattered out to cut down trees and make siege equipment.

The atmosphere in Xiapi City suddenly became tense. You must know that there are only 10,000 Cao troops in the city. If they face an attack by Zhang Jaw, they will naturally be able to parry but not fight back.

In Xiapi City, in the palace.

"Zuo Huangmen, what is going on inside and outside the palace? Why do you look so flustered?" Although Liu Bian lived in the deep palace, he also felt the anxious atmosphere permeating Xiapi City, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Huangmen beside him. asked.

"Your Majesty, please stay here for a moment. I will go and find out something for you."

After that, Xiao Huangmen walked out, inquired around and came back, not daring to speak and looking ugly.

"Supreme."

When Liu Bian saw Xiao Huangmen hesitating, he couldn't help but said dissatisfied: "Why are you hesitating? Just say what you have to say."

When Xiao Huangmen heard this, he could only whisper: "Supreme, the general is coming!"

"What?"

Liu Bian was shocked when he heard this and almost fell to the ground. Seeing this, Xiao Huangmen hurriedly supported him: "Supreme, be careful."

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Liu Bian waved his hand, his face turned pale. When he escaped from the palace, Liu Ye probably hated himself to the core. If he caught the deposed emperor in his hands, one can easily imagine his fate. After thinking about the fate of those deposed emperors in the past dynasties, Liu Bian's face became increasingly ugly.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to be so worried. There are still more than ten thousand defenders in Xiapi City. The enemy will not be able to get in for a while, and Prime Minister Cao will probably lead his army to help when he hears the news." Xiao Huangmen consoled him.

Liu Bian said nothing, shook his head, and walked back to the palace.

"Supreme, supreme?" Liu Bian said nothing, while Xiao Huangmen shouted and chased after him. The entire Xiapi City fell into panic. Even if Cao Ang tried his best to comfort him, it was still difficult to avoid the spread of this emotion.

"Brother, why don't you ask the Prime Minister for help?" Cao Anmin said to Cao Ang.

Cao Ang said in a deep voice: "Not to mention whether the enemy troops are surrounding the city and whether the envoy can break out of the siege. Now Liu Ye is leading an army of 100,000 people to confront my father. My father has only a small number of troops. What if he retreats in a hurry and is attacked by Liu Ye? "

"The Prime Minister has a clever plan. There is still a way to retreat. The most important thing now is to protect Xiapi City. If Xiapi falls and His Majesty falls into the hands of the enemy, Liu Ye can openly declare to the world that our army is a traitor. Then we will It’s hard to stand up,” Cao Anmin advised.

Yuan and Cao were fighting. Before the Battle of Guandu, Tian Feng had suggested that Yuan Shao send his light cavalry to surprise Xuchang. During the Battle of Guandu, Sun Ce also planned to lead his light cavalry to surprise Xuchang. For no other reason than that, Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, was in Xuchang. , as long as Liu Xie can be captured, he will occupy the title of righteousness.

After Cao Ang struggled for a long time, he said: "Okay, Anmin, you organize a team of dead soldiers to break out at night. No matter what, you must find a way to pass the news to the father."

"Here!"

That night, Cao Anmin arranged for a group of dead soldiers to break out of the siege at night, and finally broke out of the siege after most of them were killed or injured.
