Cheng Yu nodded: "Just to ensure the 15,000 elite combat power, only less than 10,000 defenders can't stop the Sizhou Army's offensive." Then, he turned his head and looked aside. Wei Zi said: "Master Wei, you have been in Puyang for such a long time. You should know the situation in the city. How much more can Puyang recruit?"

The unkempt, bloodshot Weitz also understood Cheng Yu’s thoughts. At this time, he knew that his family had been killed by Huangfu Chaobo, and the entire tribe had been sent to the Hedong Saltworks as slaves. Hearing Cheng Yu asked, He immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Returning to the army division, there are now more than 58,000 people in Puyang City. If the city is strong, 12,000 people can be recruited for the Lord."

At this point, how can Cao Cao not understand Cheng Yu's meaning, since Puyang can't keep it, then he can't afford Huangfu Chaobo for nothing, and recruit all the elites in the city to resist the attack of the Sizhou army. What about the future? , Who cares about him.

It is worthy of Cheng Yu, an absolute household, even if the Sizhou army controls Puyang later, it will only be a big burden. In a big city with tens of thousands of people, the elites in the city have been recruited. After a battle with the Sizhou army, it is estimated that half of them will die on the top of the city. At that time, the people in the city will certainly not be the stranger Cao Cao, because he has already run away, and after the Sizhou Army becomes the new ruler here, there will definitely be endless troubles.

"Okay, Master Wei, the conscription in the city is up to you. Starting tomorrow, the original 10,000 defenders and these 10,000 new recruits will guard the city. Our 15,000 elite will be responsible for assisting. When the time is right, we will break through and leave..." Cao Cao ordered a few cases;

"Twenty thousand soldiers, how many elites can be left in the end, we will all take them away at that time, as for the city," said Cao Cao with a sigh: "I don't want to..."

"The final commander!" everyone agreed;

The changes in Cao Cao's army Xu Rong soon discovered that when the Sizhou army was attacking the city, it was soon able to attack the city wall, but the soldiers who attacked the city wall were quickly driven off the city head, and so on.

These were all in Xu Rong's eyes. At a glance, he could see that the main force defending the city was some soldiers who had just been recruited, but behind them there were a large number of elite soldiers waiting in line. Once they found out where the soldiers were not supporting, there would be soon. The elite soldiers immediately remedy the situation, and Cao Cao is training troops.

But what if Xu Rong knew it? Cao Cao was training troops, and Xu Rong was actually training troops. Although these 30,000 defenders are already veterans, they are still far from the elite of the battle barracks. Now that the defenders of Puyang City are far from being there. When he can let himself down, Xu Rong happens to be used to take turns training soldiers.

In the next few days, Xu Rong continued to arrange battles as before. During this period, there were attacks by elite soldiers and horses from time to time. Although Cao Cao's army was allowed to guard the city wall every time, it also caused Cao Cao's army to lose many elite soldiers and horses.

Just as the generals of Cao Jun thought that his strategy was successful and secretly proud, in the early morning of October 20, the Sizhou Army opened up several tunnels directly into the city of Puyang, once again combined inside and outside, and attacked the city of Puyang.

Fortunately, Cao Cao was always suspicious, and soon reacted, only to finally lead more than 10,000 remnants out of the siege and head straight to Juancheng.

Facing the breakthrough of Cao Cao's army, Xu Rong did not order the army to pursue it. Although the Sizhou army had won, the soldiers were exhausted after a month of fighting. In addition, even though Cao Cao was defeated but not defeated, Xu Rong gave the order very sensibly. The army stopped pursuing.

Another point is that Cheng Yu’s strategy was very successful. There were 12,000 new soldiers in the city of Puyang, and nearly 8,000 people who were killed and wounded at the head of the city. Before entering the city, Xu Rong told Huangfu Chaobo. Up my own guess. After conquering the city, Huangfu Chaobo ordered the nearly ten thousand captives to be attacked and screened, and after careful inquiry, Xu Rong's guess was finally confirmed.

In the end, in desperation, Huangfu Chaobo had to order the family members of the soldiers who died in the battle to be compensated according to the standards of the soldiers who died in the Sizhou Army. This only slightly comforted the people of Puyang.

However, this also made Huangfu Chaobo even more afraid to chase Cao Cao's army. Later, after leaving Zhao Yun's department in Puyang, Huangfu Chaobo and Xu Rong led the army straight to Chen Liu. Now Chen Liu is fighting. It's not over yet, Cao Hong's 50,000 army is attacking Chen Liu.

Because Chen Liu had only an army of 30,000, Zao only discussed with Chen Rong, Zhoucang and Wang Ran and decided to stick to Chen Liu. As for other counties, they could keep the rules, but they could only give up.

Therefore, Cao Hong's army conquered Kaocheng, Jiwu, Xiangyi, Waihuang, and Yongqiu cities in a month, and arrived outside Chenliu City on October 12. For the cities that had already been captured, Cao Ren only left a thousand soldiers to defend, and the other soldiers and horses, plus the soldiers and horses that several cities had surrendered, totaled 60,000 troops and reached Chen Liu's city. He was ready to take Chen Liu in one fell swoop.

With Puyang's lesson, Huangfu Chaobo had ordered Shi's Shadow Guard to closely monitor Chen Liu. As expected, some people with bad intentions were dug out from the city, and they were all directly executed by Zaozhi. All of a sudden, Chen Liucheng had already been killed before the civil war started.

After Cao Hong's army arrived in Chenliu, they only took a day's rest before attacking the city. It's a pity that Chen Liubing has enough food and a strong city, far from the counties that Cao Hong has attacked before.

The two sides fought for five days at the head of the city. Cao Hong lost thousands of soldiers and horses, but he could not even attack the city wall. However, although Cao Hong did not have a tiger and leopard cavalry in his hands, there were still two thousand ordinary cavalry. When he attacked Chen Liu, Cao Hong did not forget to release the cavalry to investigate the movement of the surrounding army, especially the movement of the Sizhou army in Puyang.

It is precisely because of his caution that he saved tens of thousands of troops under his command.

When Huangfu Chaobo’s tens of thousands of troops rushed to Xiaohuang County to the north of Chenliu, Cao Hong had already received news of the arrival of reinforcements. He saw the sudden arrival of Huangfu Chaobo’s army. Although he had not heard from Puyang yet, Cao Hong had guessed. By the time the war in Puyang was over, Cao Hong led the army to retreat overnight without hesitation.

On the third day, Huangfu Chaobo, who rushed to Chen Liucheng, knew that Cao Hong’s army had already left. He immediately sent Tussauds, Xiliang cavalry and Chen Liu’s 10,000 soldiers to pursue them. They did not want to wipe out the enemy, but Chen Liu must be ruled. The city was recovered.

On November 2nd, Cao Hong's army retreated to Ningling, Wang Ran's army recovered all the cities that were lost under Chen Liu's rule, and the Yanzhou war ended.

At this time, the fighting in Jizhou was as early as the third day when Cao Cao lost Puyang City again, which ended on October 22. Yuan Shao left several generals to defend the Quliang Zhucheng of Taoguan, and the army returned to Bohai.
