With his current military strength, he could only attack Shanyang City, but not besieged the city. Otherwise, the army would be dispersed and Xiahou Dun suddenly broke out of the city, which would be ruined.

And siege is not just a siege.

Cao Cao also held a lot of troops in his hand, including a large killing weapon like the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, so he needed to be careful.

"promise."

The ministers all agreed and went down. Among them, Pang De ordered his troops to Juye City in the north without stopping.

Shanyang City.

This is a big city. In the Central Plains, it is densely populated and crowded. Such big cities are everywhere.

Now Zhang Xiu has obtained Qingzhou and Xuzhou, which is located in the border area of ​​two forces, and naturally becomes a strategic location.

After learning that Zang Ba had opened the city and surrendered, Xiahou Dun began to lead his troops into Shanyang City and managed it with great care.

The Liang army's cavalry was very powerful, and it was extremely dangerous to transport grain during the war. Cao Cao and Xun Yu were extremely powerful in the grain and supplies output of major cities.

At present, the grain, supplies, medicinal materials, etc. in Shanyang City are piled up like mountains.

On the east wall.

A flag with the word "Han" hanging on the majestic and tall city gate tower, competing with the "Liang" flag. Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong stood in front of the city gate, looking at the Liang army camp solemnly.

At present, the Liang army is marching outside, so their spies dare not send them out.

But they knew that there were 200,000 troops in the Liang army, and it was obvious that they were mobilized.

A group of people went north, a group of people went south, a group of people went east, a group of people stayed in the east.

Xiahou Dun showed a look of worry on his face, and he turned to look at Cao Hong. Cao Hong understood and the two entered the city gate together and sat down.

The personal soldiers brought wine and food. The two of them were drinking and eating and having food while talking.

"Zi Lian. If our Shanyang is captured, then not only will Dongjun be directly threatened by the Liang army, but our army will also be defeated one by one by the Liang army."

"We must guard the city for the lord. No. Meng De." Xiahou Dun put down the wine glass in his hand, revealing his firmness.

"Don't worry, Yuan Rang. I know." Cao Hong responded with a heavy emphasis.

"Although the Liang army has a large territory and a large population, it can continuously draw strong people and reorganize them into troops. We cannot defeat them. But we have 80,000 soldiers. Seeing Zhang Xiu's troops mobilization, the number of troops invested is only more than 100,000. We can guard for at least one or two years."

"For such a long time, Zhang Xiu's troops have so many forces, there will definitely be problems in mobilizing them. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is the key to determining the outcome."

Xiahou Dun said again.

"Yes." Although Cao Hong was brave but not resourceful, he still had the most basic military qualities. He nodded after hearing this.

"In addition, of course you and I can trust you, and most generals can trust you too. But now the Liang thief is at its peak. It is impossible for all generals to be loyal to Meng De. In order to prevent the inner force from opening the city gate and welcoming the Liang army into the city, we need to mix the generals at the city gate to guard the city."

"You can't let a general control the city gate alone. That would be too risky."

Xiahou Dun said again.

"Yes." Cao Hong nodded again.

Xiahou Dun seemed to be a disturbing old man, and he said a lot of things to pay attention to with Cao Hong. Until the end of the banquet, Cao Hong said goodbye and left the city gate tower, went to inspect the city walls, and motivated morale.

"Although the Liang army is strong, as long as the generals are not afraid of death and defend the city without losing it, there will be a chance to turn the tables. I, Xiahou Dun, will definitely defend this key Shanyang City for Meng De."

Xiahou Dun took a deep breath, picked up the bronze wine glass filled with wine on the table, and slurped his head and drank it all. The spilled wine stained his beard.

Although he was worried about the current situation, his determination was extremely huge.

This is a life-and-death battle.

Meng De gave me everything, I must win.

An army has military spirit.

Yan Liang led the crowd to attack Le'an, Yin Li, and Wu Dun were afraid of Yan Liang and knew that he was not Yan Liang's opponent.

Xiahou Dun and Cao's famous generals were also the soul of a army and a flag.

The next morning.

It was still dawn, but the Liang army camp became noisy and lively. The fire-headed soldiers buried pots and made rice, and soon the smoke rose.

After the army had all their meals, it was already midday.

The well truck and ladder truck prepared by Liang Jun have also been arranged neatly and pushed out of the camp.

In the central army's tent, Zhang Xiu was neatly dressed, sat on a small bench, looked around at the generals in the army, and finally put his eyes on Fan Chou. He smiled and said, "Today, the army will attack the city, with five thousand people. General Fan. I will order you as the vanguard and attack Shanyang City first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Fan Chou's blood was boiling and he responded with a loud bang.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but feel a little painful, as if he was too passionate and should cool down. He couldn't help but instruct: "This Xiahou Dun is a famous general of the Cao army, so defending the city must be stable. Don't be too ambitious. It is unrealistic to want to break through the city within one day. It takes a wheel battle, which lasts for a long time."

"promise."

When Fan Chou heard this, he suddenly felt like frosted eggplant and started to rush.

No matter what, it sounded with the sound of clamor.
Chapter completed!
