Chapter 174 Zhen Mi of the Three Kingdoms

Since Su Chen learned about Yuan Shao's death, he has not paid much attention to the war on the front line and is comfortable every day as a salted fish.

At noon, Su Chen moved the chair outside and lay on it to bask in the sun comfortably.

Next to it are fruit dots and fine wine.

Life is quite comfortable.

Cao Cao led Xu Chu to come. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but smiled a little angry.

Good, Suningyi, you know how to enjoy yourself even more than his lord.

However, he was not angry, but said with a smile: "Ning Yi is really enjoyable."

Su Chen was awakened by Cao Cao's voice. When he opened his eyes, he saw two people standing in front of him. He quickly got up and yawned and said, "When did Mr. Cao come?"

"Just come, just come." Cao Cao laughed.

"Mr. Cao, sit down, it's just sunny here." Su Chen pointed to the wooden stool opposite.

Cao Cao was not polite and sat down directly.

Xu Chu stood behind Cao Cao like a wall.

But his eyes were looking at the pot of strong wine on the table and blinked constantly.

Since he ate it last time, he has been thinking about the deliciousness of Erguotou.

"If General Xu likes this pot of wine, I'll give you this pot of wine." Su Chen said with a smile.

Xu Chu rubbed his hands, and without waiting for Cao Cao to agree, he hurried over and took the liquor in his hand, pulled the plug open, took a big sip, and then smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you, Mr. Su."

"Sir, don't be surprised. Zhongkang is addicted to alcohol. He is just a rough man." Cao Cao glared at Xu Chu, then looked at Su Chen and said.

"It's okay." Su Chen smiled and shook his head.

"Mr. Cao is here, but what's wrong?" Su Chen asked.

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao smiled awkwardly.

Since I met Su Chen, I seem to have come to discuss things with Su Chen.

He decided that when the war in the north ended, he must get close to Su Chenduoduo.

You know, he has several daughters who are at the age of getting married.

It would be great if there was such a good son-in-law.

Retract your thoughts.

Cao Cao said, "After Yuan Shao's sudden death, the three sons of the Yuan family fought for the position of the heir. Now the four northern states are in chaos."

Yuan Shao's three sons, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, are just inferior dogs among dogs, and their talents are simple and their abilities are weak.

Such an opponent is really difficult for Cao Cao to take it seriously.

It was not difficult for Cao Cao to defeat the three.

But, he just wanted to choose a good time.

"I want to ask sir, should I send troops at this time and carry out the Northern Expedition." Cao Cao asked.

After hearing Cao Cao's question, Su Chen also showed serious expression. After thinking about it, he spoke up and said: "Wait!"

Huh?

Cao Cao was surprised.

Su Chen's view actually coincided with Cheng Yu.

All he wants to wait a little longer, so there is no need to rush for a moment.

“Why?”

Cao Cao asked.

Su Chen remembers that after Yuan Shao's death, his three sons competed.

Yuan Shang inherited his father's business and obtained Jizhou. His brother Yuan Tan was dissatisfied and his two sons fought each other. In the end, Yuan Tan was defeated and asked Cao Cao for help.

Since then, Cao Cao has made a legitimate attack on Jizhou.

At that time, after a period of internal friction, the combat power of the four northern states was not as good as before, and then Cao Cao easily took it down.

Calculate the time, it will only be one or two months at most.

"Duke Cao, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. If two tigers fight, one will die and one will be injured, let alone the three tigers fight! The more they fight, the more severe their strength will be."

"If Cao Gong went to attack at this time, the three of them would definitely unite first. After all, their internal struggle was a 'family fight', and between them, it was a military fight with Cao Gong."

"Mr. Cao, do you want to face the alliance of the three or want to defeat them one by one?" Su Chen asked back.

yes!

Cao Cao nodded.

Although the three sons of the Yuan family are not worth mentioning, if they join forces, they will be a not-so-wealthy force. Forcibly attacking will only cause damage. It is better to wait patiently and wait for the opportunity to fight.

"I have a sir to remind me that I did not make the mistake of a light army's arbitrary advance. Thank you, sir." Cao Cao bowed to Su Chen as he said that.

Sincere attitude.

"Mr. Cao is so polite." Su Chen hurriedly replied.

"Okay, don't disturb the gentleman's eloquence, I will convey the order immediately." As he said that, Cao Cao took Xu Chu away.

"Zhongkang, let people spread the word that the generals come to discuss matters."

"promise."

then.

After the last meeting ended, everyone who received the regular meeting again was a little confused?

What's the situation? Didn't you say that you'll talk about it in three days!

However, although everyone was confused, they did not dare to have anything to do. They quickly put down what they were doing and went to the Central Army tent.

Soon, everyone arrived.

Cao Cao directly ordered: "The generals have been training their troops in recent days. As for the Northern Expedition, they will be temporarily put on hold and wait until the time is ripe."

What?

Not to fight?

The generals were suddenly in a lack of interest.

Xu You was stunned.

I said that you will win when attacking Jizhou. Cao Aman said that you would think about it, but in less than an hour, I told me this?

It's really too much!

Xu You glanced at Cao Cao, angry, but he did not dare to attack.

Only Cheng Yu showed a thoughtful look.

"The lord went to the baggage camp and came back to the idea. What is the secret in this?"

Weird, really weird.

He was also a person with a delicate mind. He made up his mind and would pay more attention to the exchanges between the lord and the baggage camp in the future.

Maybe some clues can be found.

A month passed in a blink of an eye.

Yuan Tan fled in a crushing defeat with Yuan Shang, and then asked Cao Cao for help and asked for joining forces.

Cao Cao naturally would not refuse.

On that day, Cao Cao set up a 100,000 army to attack Jizhou.

Su Chen went out with the army as a member of the baggage battalion.

This was the first time he had gone with the army for a long distance. Although the journey was long, Zhao Yang had prepared a carriage for him and took it on the march.

A few days later.

Tens of thousands of Cao soldiers surrounded Jizhou City, and this was the first time Su Chen saw the battle of siege.

Countless Cao soldiers were like ants, firmly blocking the four gates of Jizhou City, which was quite spectacular.

However, although Cao's army had a population of 100,000, there were more than 40,000 Yuan Shang's troops in Jizhou City.

As the saying goes, three times the surround and ten times the surround.

It was not that easy for Cao Cao to use a 100,000 army to capture Jizhou City.

This happened for several days.

Early this morning, Su Chen stood on a high place as usual to check the situation in Jizhou City. Zhao Yang followed him and frowned and said, "Jizhou City is high and the walls are wide. How can he attack in?"
