It was night, and the sky was covered with wind and snow.

Outside Liangqi City, there were bright lights, and more than 30 firewood piles about five meters high were burning, and the fires soared into the sky, illuminating the outside of Liangqi City. The huge bonfires crackled, and sparks splashed out from the fire from time to time, scattering around the bonfires.

The Han army lined up outside Liangqi City in the wind and snow.

Ladders, shafts, catapults, and winch crossbows were displayed in front of the formation, revealing an unspeakable solemnity.

Cheng Yu stood on the city tower, looking a little haggard.

Since being trapped in Liangqi, it has been several days in a blink of an eye. In the past few days, the Han army has taken turns to attack the city under the command of Zhuge Liang, Zhang, Liao and Pang De, causing heavy casualties and injuries to the Liangqi defenders. When they were ambushed on the banks of the Fushui River, they lost most of their troops. Thirty thousand people followed Cheng Yu and others to escape to Liangqi County. Even if the Liangqi defenders were merged in Liangqi, there were still only five or six thousand.

The Han army followed Lu Kuang's defeat and advanced from Julu and Changshan to Liangqi continuously, making the siege of Liangqi unbroken...

Liangqi is a small county with a small population.

With so many troops suddenly coming, not only did there be food problems, but the military equipment in the city could not keep up.

Three days later, the arrows were almost exhausted.

Searching throughout the county town only had more than ten thousand arrows, and it could not even last for a long time to use.

The buildings in the city were forcibly demolished, and the beams that built the houses were also carried to the top of the city to defend the city. At this time, the county town was almost like a ruin, with nearly 10,000 people leaving homeless and trembling in the wind and snow. Cheng Yu had already ordered all the horses in the city to be killed, but the soldiers still could not fill their stomachs. Speaking of which, Cheng Yu was definitely a ruthless person! He actually ordered someone to cook the dead bodies into jerky to wrap the soldiers' belly... The same thing, Cheng Zhongde did in Xuzhou a few years ago, was already angry and resentful.

However, Cao Cao was in great power at that time, and even if Cheng Yu did this, no one dared to jump out and complain.

But now...

Cao Xiu's persuasion was ineffective, and it also made the people and soldiers in the city slowly accumulate resentment... This resentment became increasingly stronger with the fierce offensive of the Han army. Standing on the top of the city, Cheng Yu could still feel the deep hatred of the soldiers around him.

He could even imagine that if Cao Xiu hadn't brought people to protect him, I was afraid that those Cao's soldiers would have attacked him long ago!

But, so what?

The city walls of Liangqi County have collapsed in many places under the fierce attack of the Han army.

Fortunately, Cheng Yu was prepared... He knew that the Liangqi city wall could not resist the attack of the Han army, so he prepared a lot of civil engineering to fill the gaps in the city wall. Now, there is nothing in the city to fill it, and it can be said that it is at the point where the ammunition and food are exhausted.

Judging from the Han army's posture, it is obvious that they are going to fight quickly!

Cheng Yu seemed to careless on the surface, but an inexplicable despair arose in his heart.

"Wenlie, let's talk under the city."

Cheng Yu suddenly pulled Cao Xiu and walked down the road.

He is eight feet and five inches tall, and although he is old, his body looks even stronger than Cao Xiu.

After the two came down from the city, Cheng Yu whispered: "In the evening, the Han army added reinforcements and their morale was strong.

The food and grass in the city have been cut off and the supplies are exhausted... The men's morale is low and the city walls are damaged in many places. In my opinion, it is difficult for us to survive tonight. I regret not listening to Wen Ruo's advice, so that we will end up today. However, I am not afraid. It's just a death in battle."

"Why did Mr. Cheng say this?"

When Cao Xiu heard this, he was shocked and hurriedly said, "Don't be willing to fight to the death and cover Cheng Gong's breakthrough."

Cheng Yu couldn't help laughing, "Then Zhuge Er wants me. If I leave, no one of us will escape."

"That……"

"Listen to me."

Seeing that there was no one on the left and right, Cheng Yu whispered: "I had ordered people to prepare a large amount of hay, ate and firewood on the city gate tower and poured it on tinder oil. I will supervise the battle on the top of the city later. If you lead people to wait at the south gate, you will immediately lead people to break through the siege."

Cao Xiu was so excited that he was a chilling cicada. He didn't even think about it: "How could Xiu abandon Cheng Gong and live alone?"

Why can't he hear Cheng Yu's meaning? It's obviously intended to attract the attention of the Han army and fight to the death.

Cheng Yu heard this and said, "I am over the age of knowing destiny, and I will be in the age of obedience to the ears."

Although I have not achieved any success in my work, I am very responsible and responsible… I am a stubborn person, and I cannot tolerate sand in my eyes, and I cannot bear to see people doing things without any care. Therefore, I have no friends. Even if I have it before, I have almost offended it now. I am not willing to die! But Wen Lie, you cannot accompany me to die because I have important things, so I want you to tell my lord.”

After saying that, Cheng Yu lowered his voice and said, "I know that my lord has always been afraid of Wen Ruo.

But please tell the lord that Wenruo may be loyal to the Han Dynasty, but he is pure and loyal to him and will never have two hearts. What Wenruo does is all out of justice. Sometimes it may be a bit extreme, but please tell the lord that he has no malice."

This is the rhythm of the will!

Cao Xiu was sad, but he listened to Cheng Yu's words with great care.

"Since the war between the lord and Chuang'er, even though Chuang'er has won consecutive victories, whether it is the lord or me, I have always looked down on Chuang'er.

Wen Lie, you have to tell your lord that the harm of Chuang'er is even worse than that of Yuan Benchu.

This person has the courage of a king and the posture of being a magnificent and martial... This person has a far-reaching vision and is not an ordinary person if he is in the hands of his hands. Now his momentum is better than Yuan Shao. Therefore, if the lord wants to fight with him, he needs to be more bold and not too rigid. Since our confrontation, the lord has always been seized by Chuang'er... If he is fighting with him, he must not follow his path, otherwise it will inevitably be dangerous... Unfortunately, I can no longer make suggestions for the lord, and it is really a pity that I cannot see the lord accomplish great things!"

Cheng Yu said it was an understatement, and seemed to not take his own safety at all.

Cao Xiu was crying while silently remembering what Cheng Yu said.

"Okay, everything I need to say has been finished, I'm going to supervise the battle too!

Wen Lie, go and prepare quickly... I'm not willing to die, and if something happens to you, what will I have to face my lord? Besides, Xiao Wu has been waiting for me below for a long time. If I don't go again, I'm afraid he will cause some trouble again... Haha, I'm not at ease."

Xiao Wu is Cheng Wu.

A few days ago, Yecheng was defeated and Cheng Wu died in Yecheng.

Cheng Yu had already known the news of Cheng Wu's death. Although it seemed nothing in the past few days, Cao Xiu knew that whenever Cheng Yu was late at night, he would cry silently in the house. People were not plants and trees. Who could be ruthless? Although Cheng Yu was extremely strict with Cheng Wu before, Cheng Wu was his only son. His spoiling for children was not less than other fathers. However, his spoiling was expressed in another way... Cao Xiu looked at Cheng Yu silently, while Cheng Yu put on clothes and turned around and left.

Watching Cheng Yu climbing the city tower, Cao Xiu wiped away the tears from his face, gritted his teeth, and turned toward the south gate.

Cheng Yu had already developed ambitions of life and death and wanted to persuade him to change his mind. I guess no one in this world can change his mind except Cao Cao.

What he did now was to bring back Cheng Yu's words and tell Cao Cao truthfully.

Just as Cao Xiu had left, the sound of war drums suddenly rumbling outside the north gate, and the shouts of killing were shocking the sky...

Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liao and Pang De jointly supervised the battle and ordered the Han army to attack Liangqi.

Huge rocks roared at the head of Liangqi City, and winch crossbows were activated, and crossbow arrows flew towards the city wall. Under the cover of the crossbow stones, the Han army rushed towards Liangqi City like a tide. Cheng Yu stood on the head of the city, calmly and commanded Cao's army to resist.

About half an hour, a sound of bombing was heard, and the city wall collapsed in a corner.

Immediately afterwards, the city gate was knocked open by the Han army, and thousands of Han soldiers rushed towards the city.

"June, go quickly."

Cheng Yu's personal companion shouted loudly, but Cheng Yu seemed to have never heard of it.

He held a torch in his hand and suddenly threw it into the gatehouse. A flaming flame suddenly rose up and swept across the entire city wall in an instant. Under the city gate, various fire-induced objects were piled up, like hills. Cheng Yu rushed into the fireplace regardless of his personal obstruction. Then he threw the torch down the gatehouse. Hu, Hu... a ball of fire rose into the air, surrounding Liangqi's city.

The Liangqi city walls were not strong, and they had been attacked by the Han army for several days, so they had long been unable to withstand it.

Shortly after the fire rose, the city tower collapsed.

Cheng Yu sat in the fire scene, but scenes of the past appeared in his mind...

When he was a young man, he studied in Dong'a; during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he fought fiercely with the rebel king Du; in the first evaluation, the governor of Yanzhou, Liu Dai, conquered Cheng Yu, but refused to obey his ideas, and finally Cheng Yu resigned; later, he followed Cao Cao. At that time, everyone did not understand, but in Cheng Yu's heart, he regarded Cao Cao as a person who accomplished great things. He once had a dream, dreaming that he was holding the sun on Mount Tai...

Cheng Yu was originally named Cheng Li, but after Cao Cao heard about his dream, he changed his name to Cheng Yu.

I still remember when he defected to Cao Cao, Cao Cao happily held his hand and said, "You must be my confidant!"

It was from then on that, Cheng Yu became Cao Cao's planner...

In a flash, more than ten years.

Cheng Yu has followed Cao Cao for more than ten years, and as he has grown step by step, he has gained momentum now.

But I didn't expect that there was a Uncle Liu.

When Liu Chuang arrived in Xudu, Cheng Yu persuaded Cao Cao to kill Liu Chuang and Liu Bei, but Cao Cao could not obey.

Now Liu Chuang has risen, and Liu Bei...

By the way, Liu Bei!

Cheng Yu suddenly remembered that he forgot to instruct Cao Xiu and asked him to tell Cao Cao to be careful of Liu Xuande.

He felt extremely regretful. He suddenly stood up, but he didn't expect that at this time, a huge beam on the city tower was smashing down and hit Cheng Yu's head.

Cheng Yu shouted and fell into the sea of ​​fire!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After Cao Xiu explained the process of the battle between Liangqi, he burst into tears.

"Mr. Cheng died in Liangqi to cover me.

If I had to pass the instructions from Mr. Cheng to the lord, I would not wish I could die with Mr. Cheng... I have brought my last words to you, just want to die."

As he spoke, Cao Xiucang drew out his sword and was about to commit suicide by slashing his neck.

Cao Zhang was quick and stepped forward and grabbed Cao Xiu's wrist, "Wen Lie, if you die, wouldn't it make it difficult for Cheng Gong to rest in peace?" (To be continued.
