Cao Ren's answer was very firm in his answer to Guo Jia's attention and entrustment: "Don't worry, the military advisor will definitely live up to the expectations of the military advisor!"

"Zixiao, this is not an expectation. The lives and honors and disgraces of our Han army are in your hands. At that time, whether Li Dian or Cao Zhang will cooperate with you naturally. In comparison, you have nearly 40,000 people, and at most there are only thousands in my city, so... there is a long way to go."

"Don't worry, military advisor!"

In fact, Guo Jia was able to hand over such an important task to him, which shows his trust in Cao Ren. Guo Jia nodded and said nothing. Cao Ren also ordered troops.

After two incense sticks, the Han generals went out of the city one after another according to Guo Jia's plan and arrived at the designated location to station. After another quarter of an hour, Cao Zhang, Zhu Ling, and the troops who were recruited by the road had already launched the first wave of challenges to the enemy outside the south gate!

Seeing the southern soldiers gathered up, Guo Jia's eyes were firm and cold. I hope that the Kushans would not be able to break the formation from the east, but even if they saw through it, it didn't matter. With such deployment, their main force would definitely be locked firmly.

"Your Majesty, Grand Sikong, I have done everything I should do to filial piety, and the rest depends on you!"

...

On the other hand, after several days of slow exploration, Liu Xie and Cao Cao's army were only twenty miles away from the Kushan capital!

That's right!

They only pushed forward for sixty miles in a total of so many days!

Not only because of the rugged mountain roads, but more importantly, in order not to attract the attention of the defenders in the capital, Cao Cao deliberately split the army and approached the capital little by little. Finally, today, the 15,000 people in his hands finally reached the designated position!

Lying behind the mountain, Xiahou Dun looked at the Kushan capital with his one-eye, and couldn't help but be amazed: "Da Sikong, although the Kushan people are not doing well in war, you see that the city defense is still good. Giant crossbows, tinder oil, javelins, and longbows, it seems that it is not easy for us to attack."

"After all, it's normal to have a good defense. I just don't know how much impact we have on the water source." Cao Cao said, turning around and yelling at Kiran: "You can go to the team now, mobilize all the battle elephants, and get here within an hour."

"promise!"

Because Cao Cao was a secret marching this time, the giant beasts like the war elephant could not be carried with the army. He arranged all the war elephants in a gully outside the elephant circle before, about forty miles away from his troops.

Of course, it is not a problem for horses, but the elephant's speed is relatively slow, and one hour is enough.

When Kiran went to do the job, Cao Cao explained to Liu Xie and others: "Your Majesty, please listen, today is the day for the general attack. Let Kiran take the naturalized army and the war elephant cavalry to attack the battlefield later. Then Yuan Rang, you will take the second army soldiers and then advance slowly. If Kiran is defeated, you will kill him immediately and lead the troops back."

"On the contrary, if he builds an attack and breaks the city, you send someone to control it, confiscate his military talismans, and bring the naturalized army, and the Han army headquarters rushed into the enemy city. Remember to capture Visuteva anyway!"

"The last one will obey the order!"

Cao Cao nodded and looked at Le Jin again: "Wenqian, you are the first general. This time I attack the city, but I will put you on the third formation and wait for the front army to attack smoothly. Since you have brought people to the front army, if the front army is not going well, you will lead the third formation and move to the side. After all, Yuan's fierce attack will definitely attract the attention of the other party. At that time, you will take the lead and get in the inside and outside the city."

"Don't worry, Lord Sikong, I will obey the order!"

Cao Cao smiled and was still very relieved to Le Jin: "Gongming, come here."

After calling Xu Huang, it was obvious that this time, Cao Cao would be much more serious: "Yuan Rang and Wen Qian have tasks. What's next. You have to listen to it. This time you and Zihe will take the horse together, leading the tiger and leopard cavalry and other cavalry to patrol the city, but when you see those who fled in the city, you can also wait for an opportunity to challenge and buy time for Yuan Rang and others."

"The last one will obey the order!"

Xu Huang said, got up and came to Cao Chun's side. After conveying it, he bowed to Liu Xie and Cao Cao, and then prepared to go. Cao Cao arranged the time for the siege and decisive battle one hour later.

In this process, Liu Xie was somewhat excited and sat on the saddle leaning against the tree, with an unstable expression on his face, a little nervous and a little calm.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing this, Cao Cao walked up with a smile. Liu Xie said, "It's nothing. I have never been to the battlefield. I can't help but feel a little nervous at this moment."

"Why are you nervous?" Cao Cao took a deep breath and patted his shoulder: "I am here. Although I have sent all the generals out, Zhongkang is still guarding him. Guan Bao will not have any trouble. I still have one thing in my heart to discuss with you."

Every time Cao Cao said this, there was absolutely nothing good. Liu Xie had already understood it, but he couldn't say anything yet. This was really uncomfortable.

He nodded without saying a word, Cao Cao said, "Since this time, your majesty is punished, you have arrived outside their city gate. I think we should not hide anymore. Before I came out, I brought a copy of your Emperor's Battle Banner. I think it would be better to wait for the war to hang it up so that the Kushan people can see the martial merits of my Emperor of Han. How about it?"

"This...well!"

In fact, Liu Xie was a little surprised at his statement. After all, at this moment, if anyone is under the banner of someone, if he wins, the credit will be on whom. He thought Cao would raise his own flag. After all, for him, the more such good things, the less he is.

However, although he was confused, he did not ask questions, but brought the topic back. In contrast, Liu Xie was more concerned about the arrangements after winning: "Sikong, I see that the Han Dynasty will win in this battle. What should I do after siege the city?"

"Well..."

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment and suddenly asked back: "What does Your Majesty think it should be?"

"I don't know." Liu Xie shook his head and looked sincere: "Because I have never done anything at this moment."

"According to what I originally meant, I wanted to execute Visuteva, and all the Kushan royals were brought back to the Han Dynasty to imprisonment, and then turned Kushan into a part of the Han Dynasty, but... the thing found in the underground water palace made me change my mind."

Cao Cao said, and sat down, getting close to Liu Xie, obviously not wanting his words to be heard by others.

"Your Majesty, no matter who this wave of tune is, since he has the handle in our hands, it is better to use this as a restraint. The King of Kushan will let him continue to do it, but to the outside world, it is necessary to recognize it as a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. At the same time, the Han Dynasty will send officials to supervise, restrain, and give names. As long as he agrees to pay tribute and surrender every year, I think it might as well keep them. After all, the vassal state does not need help from the court. This will not only save expenses, but also treat them as a barrier against the Huns and Wuhuan."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xie hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Boss Cao's arrangements were indeed to maximize the interests, but he was still a little worried: "Master Sikong, just such a small pampered scroll, can he really restrain Wei Sudeva? He overthrew the throne of his former talents. Such a person has a great ambition and is afraid he won't submit."

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao suddenly burst out laughing: "Your Majesty, you said that it was before he sat on the throne! I promise that in his eyes, his reputation and lineage far exceed the so-called ambitions. After all, this thing can control the stability of his royal power, and he will not ignore it."
