Chapter 365 The Heart of the Heart (2) 2/3
Jizhou, Neihuang.
The yellow ze is frozen and the clear river water is dry.
As December approaches, the weather in Jizhou becomes particularly cold.
On the Neihuang City, smoke was filled with smoke. The Cao army soldiers were like dull puppets, carrying the bodies down the city tower with expressionless expression.
Outside the city, corpses were everywhere.
The snow-covered earth has turned into mud at this time.
Blood mixed with snow water soaked the ground, making the ground appear an extremely strange blood red.
There were burning broken wood everywhere, broken ladders and equipment everywhere. Han soldiers were also cleaning the battlefield, but not far away, the Han army was in an orderly formation. The horses neighed and the flags were waving... In a just-concluded siege battle, nearly 300 people were killed or injured in the Han army, but their morale did not fall at all. Zhang He and Ju Hu stepped on the horse under the gate, and put on their forehanded a shed to look into the Huangcheng Gate inward.
Xiahou Lian's face turned a little blue and he seemed a little tired.
He was also checking the movements of the Han army outside the city. Looking at the neat military formation of the Han army, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart...
These barbarians are really fierce!
Yecheng has been occupied by the Han army, and the victory or defeat of Jizhou has been decided.
However, Cheng Yu and Cao Xiu were trapped in Liangqi County and were said to be in danger.
Cao Xiu was the clan of Cao Cao, and he was called the "Cao Family Thousand Miles Horse" by Cao Cao; while Cheng Yu was called the confidant by Cao Cao, loyal to Cao Cao, and was one of Cao Cao's five major plotters. Now, among the five major plotters, Guo Jia was captured. If Cheng Yu is lost again, it would definitely be a huge blow to Cao Cao. Therefore, Xun Yu promised to pass the order to rescue Cheng Yu and Cao Xiu no matter what.
For this reason, Xun Yu recruited troops in Yuzhou and added troops to Liyang.
Spring is coming!
The recruitment of troops at this time will definitely affect the farming of the coming year.
Of course, Xun Yu knew the harm of summoning troops at this time, but in order to save Cheng Yu and Cao Xiu, he did not care about other things.
Lu Qian was under great pressure, while Xiahou Lian, who was guarding Neihuang, was under greater pressure.
Just after noon, the drums rumbling outside the city, and people shouted and horses neighed.
After a brief rest, the Han army once again launched an attack on Inner Huang.
The catapult cart creaked, and the stones roared and swept through the sky. Teams of Han troops rushed over like a tide, and the shouts of killing sounded across the sky.
Xiahou Lian shouted loudly, running around the city walls.
Suddenly, a stone fell from the sky.
"General, be careful!"
Fortunately, Xiahou Lian's follower responded quickly and pushed Xiahou Lian away. However, because he could not dodge, he was hit by a stone and his brain burst. Xiahou Lian's face was covered with the brain of his follower and his lips turned blue. He wanted to stand up, but his feet were weak, but he almost fell down again. It turned out that when the follower pushed him away just now, Xiahou Lian's foot twisted... He couldn't help but be anxious, gritted his teeth and snatched a big gun from his follower's hand, supported himself and slowly stood up, and then continued to command Cao's army to resist on the top of the city.
However, this time the Han army's offensive was extremely fierce.
Lanterns were ladders behind the city wall. Han soldiers climbed along the ladders wildly.
"Turn them down for me."
Xiahou Lian shouted sternly, drawing his sword to go over and join the battle.
However, the severe pain on his feet almost made him fall to the ground. Xiahou Lian staggered, but he didn't want to be supported by someone...
"Uncle, be careful!"
Xiahou Lian was stunned when he heard this title and quickly turned his head to look.
"Boyi?"
The man who supported Xiahou Lian was dressed as a Cao army soldier, wearing squid armor and holding a bright sword in his hand.
Xiahou Lian recognized at a glance that the soldier was Guo Yi. His mind changed and he suddenly shivered... Guo Yi is here, wouldn't that mean that Ziwen and Dianman are also here? Thinking of this, Xiahou Lian's face changed, showing a nervous expression.
He grabbed Guo Yi's arm and asked loudly: "Where are Boyi, Ziwen and Dianman?"
Guo Yi was not panicked and pointed his hand in front, "Isn't that?"
Looking in the direction of Guo Yi's finger, two young men dressed in Cao's soldiers were running on the road, fighting with the Han army rushing up the city wall. Both young men were very strong, one high and one low. The one who was low was also adult, holding a big knife in each hand, fighting hard among the crowd, like a tiger descending from the mountain. The tall boy followed the short boy. He held a big axe in both hands, as if he was like a crazy lion, and there was no enemy in front of him, killing the Han army backwards one after another.
The shorter boy was Cao Zhang, and the taller boy was Dian Man.
The two of them cooperated very well, one in front and one behind, one behind, one on the left and one on the right, and the corpses of Han soldiers were everywhere.
It was precisely because of the two people's hard fighting that Cao's army barely resisted the Han army's fierce attack.
Seeing that the number of Han soldiers climbing the city was getting smaller and smaller, Zhang He had to order the attack to stop and withdraw his troops...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As the sky gradually became late, the Han army attacked Neihuang but failed and withdrew its troops and returned to the camp.
Only then did Xiahou Lian take the opportunity, catch Cao Zhang and the other two, and limp back to the coach's mansion.
On the Yatang, Xiahou Lian's face was as deep as water, and his triangular eyes swept across Cao Zhang, Guo Yi and Dianman's bodies, but he felt scared.
At the beginning, he and Lu Qian received a message from Xun Yu and were also shocked when they learned that Cao Zhang and others came to Jizhou.
But Jizhou is so big, with war everywhere, and they have nowhere to look for it.
After almost six days of arrival in Neihuang, Xiahou Lian realized that Cao Zhang and the other two were under his tent. If these three people were hurt, God knew what kind of disaster would be caused. Cao Cao had already killed a son in battle. If something happened to Cao Zhang, how could he have a child?
However, thinking of Cao Zhang's brave performance on the city during the day, Xiahou Lian couldn't help but secretly praise him in his heart.
People say that Cao Zhang is the first among the second generation of the Cao family, except Cao Peng. He was really amazing at first sight today and deserved to be the son of Meng De.
And Dianman also seems to have inherited the courage of his father Dian Wei.
The big axe made the most amazing, and Cao Zhang and Cao Zhang led the Han army to the top of the city.
The eyes finally fell on Guo Yi, and Xiahou Lian was also full of emotion. Since Fengxiao was abducted, the child has changed a lot in the past two years. At this time last year, Guo Yi was still playing with his peers in Xudu City carefree. But today, Xiahou Lian saw Guo Yi killing three Han soldiers with his own eyes, and even took over the command of the city when Xiahou Lian was unable to move.
The Han army's offensive was so fierce, but Guo Yi was not panicked at all and was calm in command, revealing a sway of a general.
If you have three to five years of experience, these kids can definitely become pillars of the Cao family!
When Xiahou Lian thought of this, his eyes couldn't help but feel much softer, "Ziwen, where are you three going during this period? How could they come to Neihuang?"
Cao Zhang did not show any fear and smiled: "Uncle, we also want to share our worries for our father.
Mr. Xun always said that we are young, how can we do it... But my brother-in-law turned to Qianli at the age of sixteen. At the age of seventeen, he built a foundation in Beihai Kingdom. I am fifteen years old this year, so how can I do it? In my opinion, Mr. Xun looked down on us, so we had to sneak out."
"Don't smile with me, I'll ask you."
Xiahou Lian was furious and slapped the table.
But there is a bitterness in my heart: this is the real bad fate!
I remember who cared about Liu Chuang and his wife, but I didn’t expect that he has become a generation of giant owls that are even better than Yuan Shao. When the lord wanted to marry Yuwa to Chuang'er... It’s better now. The father-in-law and son-in-law turned against each other and became enemies, and I’m afraid that in the end there will be a tragedy.
Whether Liu Chuang defeated Cao Cao or Cao Cao defeated Liu Chuang, the result would not be very good.
Xiahou Lian sighed and looked at Guo Yi.
Guo Yi hurriedly said, "Uncle calms down. After we leave Xudu, we rushed to Yanjin overnight.
The next morning, I crossed the river and then arrived at Neihuang. At that time, Neihuang Order was recruiting people. The three of us smuggled into the army... Haha, but the rations of Neihuang were too poor. The armor on our bodies was still taken off the dead and put on.
If my uncle hadn't recruited Huang Shoujun to the city today, we might have to wait a while before we could meet..."
"you……"
Xiahou Lian felt a little depressed, pointed at Cao Zhang and the other two, and couldn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, he spoke, "You three are so brave... Boyi. I ask you. Did you think you came to Neihuang?
Guo Yi was stunned and blurted out: "How did you know uncle!"
Xiahou Lian sighed hard, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I am worthy of being the son of Fengxiao. Your idea is indeed...
Your uncle, son Ke, checked at the Liyang Ferry Crossing, trying to find your whereabouts. But we didn't expect that you three were not in Liyang and came to Neihuang. Do you know that this is very dangerous. When you left, your mother was anxious and asked about your news. It is a good thing to share your worries for your father, but you are too bold. What should you do if something happens?"
Cao Zhang and the other two looked at me, and I looked at you, all lowered their heads.
Xiahou Lian said: "But fortunately, I finally found you... I will try to get you to leave Neihuang and return to Liyang tomorrow."
"don't want!"
Cao Zhang shook his head and refused without saying a word.
Xiahou Lian was angry and was about to reprimand, but saw Guo Yi stop Cao Zhang and bow to Xiahou Lian, "Uncle, I know that we are very reckless in doing this, and everyone is worried! But Liu... Ziwen's brother-in-law said something, and I agree with it."
Guo Yi was very dissatisfied with Liu Chuang's accusation of Guo Jia.
However, Cao Zhang highly praised Liu Chuang. In addition, Liu Chuang is Cao Xian's husband, and Cao Xian treated him very well at the beginning.
He couldn't curse Liu Chuang, after all, he was not Cao Cao and he would scold him if he cursed.
But he was reluctant to respect Liu Chuang and said "Uncle Liu". So he simply called Liu Chuang as "Ziwen's brother-in-law", which was considered as not to offend him.
Xiahou Lian frowned, "What did Chuang'er say?"
