Lu Bu, who was unparalleled in power and known as the most powerful general in the late Han Dynasty, became timid in front of the domineering CEO Cao Cao!

The Xuzhou army shrank all the way, and Lu Bu retreated all the more than 13,000 soldiers and horses he had at hand into Xiapi City, and all the strategic space of the entire Xuzhou wilderness was given to Cao's army.

However, I have to say that this strategy is very wise!

First of all, even if he did not bring Qingzhou soldiers, Cao Cao's troops were still more than 36,000, which was nearly three times that of Lu Bu. In the past two years, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry has been constantly weakening. Xuzhou does not produce horses, and the replenishment of war horses is far less than that of war horses. Now the authentic Bingzhou wolf cavalry has shrunk by only more than 3,000, and the chance of defeating the wild battle is not high.

If Cao Cao and Lu Bu were fighting desperately, Lu Bu gave up the strategic space in the wild, and now there is a warlord fight. The remnants of Yuan Shu in Hanoi County and Yangzhou are allies of Lu Bu. Moreover, Yuan Shao, Hebei is also an unstable huge bomb. Cao Cao still attacked the far-distance army. As long as he was dragged in Xiapi City and delayed for a few months, Cao Cao would not be able to provide food, or a change in Guanzhong, or Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and Yuan Shuzhong sent troops to the Central Plains alone, which would be the opportunity for Lu Bu to counterattack.

And these days, the cold winter in the wild is really hard to bear!

It was only mid-October that the abnormal weather during the Little Ice Age had already snowed heavily, and the Si Shui River surface was covered with thin soldiers. Nowadays, there were no cotton coats and jackets, and the Yanzhou soldiers wearing linen were trembling in the cold wind, and their faces were blue. The soldiers standing guard were unable to catch their long halberds and had to vent a vent in their hands from time to time. Moreover, during the twenty days when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou and then headed towards Xia Pi, Chen Gong completed the clearing of the walls and clearing the fields nearby. The fields were empty, and even straw and other things were transported into Xia Pi City. It was extremely difficult to find firewood nearby.

This time, the civil servants and military generals who came out with Cao Cao could live a little more comfortable life. Each of them had a set of down jackets, and some even had hot chicken and duck down stuffed into their gloves.

After a snow, Cao's army's tactics on the earthen mountain outside Pengcheng were almost reimbursed. The ground was frozen and hard. The strong men who followed the army tried their best to swing the pickaxe and only picked up small pieces of hard soil. In this case, not to mention the earthen mountain, the tunnel could not be dug. Moreover, Chen Gong ordered people to water the city wall behind the moat in the distance, and attached a thick layer of ice armor to the city wall. Whether it was a siege ladder or a siege hook, it seemed difficult to climb on, and there were many defenders on the city.

Wearing a large down jacket like a bread jacket and taking the ministers to the gate of Xia Pi City to investigate, Cao Cao shook his head with great difficulty.

"This city is difficult to attack!"

"Tuqiu is careful. If he hadn't brought a lot of stones from Pengcheng, we wouldn't even have the materials to fill the moat, and there was also wood, which could be split and burned as firewood to keep the soldiers warm. If Tuqiu hadn't, it would have been even more difficult!"

Here, Guo Jia smiled with relief. He spoke with a sarcastic remark, and the handsome face of the literary man, couldn't help but turn red. The other children of the aristocratic family who mocked Wang Hou and the garbage king also twitched with their faces. Fortunately, Wang Hou was not here, otherwise they would probably be even more shameless.

Suddenly remembering, Cao Cao nodded with great agreement, and subconsciously looked southeast of the army. However, when he looked over, Mr. Cao's mouth couldn't help but twitch violently again.

The military situation is so hot that this time, he no longer rides a carriage. Wang Hou, who was sent by Cao Cao to contact the prefect of Guangling, directly rode the same horse with Cao Hongjie. The two of them were wrapped in thick down quilts, like a big bun. Not to mention Mr. Cao, even the king of Zhao Yun who followed behind him was beaten by his disgusting handsome face.

Now Cao Cao didn't know whether he should be glad to discover Wang Hou, or to regret catching Cao Hong with him. He shook his head helplessly, and shook his head speechlessly.

"This kid!!!"

…………

It can be considered that he broke free from the position of logistics chief who was exhausted and vomited blood for a moment, and handed over Minzhuangtun and two grain transport troops to Cheng Yu for management. Wang Hou was recognized as an envoy to contact his good friend, Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling.

The road was covered with snow, and it was so thick that it didn't even know that the horse's hooves stepped on it. After trotting twenty miles, a horse lost its front hooves and fell to its limp. Wang Hou had to slow down and trot forward.

The most painful thing about Wang Hou in later generations was to get up in the morning of winter to go to work, but now he realized that it was so happy to have a bus ride. The overwhelming swords and snowflakes made him suck.

No wonder Russia has so small population in later generations, and its population is still negative, because it is cold! It's so cold that he's so cold that he's gone out of his mind. Even his mind is blank, and there's only one thing left, and he's only left to hurry.

Fortunately, he had good luck. He had just walked halfway through the southeast. The same army trembled in the snow and was shaking in the snow. He was looking at him.

When Chen Deng, who was voluntarily responding to the inside, was busy with Guangling's troops and actively killed him.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

It was so cold that it was singing, dancing, rap, and basketball. In the large tent of the Central Army, relying on the iron and coal stove built by Chen Dengxin, Wang Hou was so angry that he looked like an orange cat leaning against the stove. Cao Hongjie looked very despised.

Chen Deng, who hadn't seen him for the first year, was quite enthusiastic. He was there to help him warm up and joking: Brother Tu Qiu, you are full of knowledge but are so unresisting to the freezing. I really don't know how you survived this time in school!"

I have heating when I was in school!

Now thinking about what it is, it is better to be the future generations! Even a little citizen without power, rubbing his hands, Wang Hou hummed depressedly, but after a moment, he suddenly raked the iron stove in surprise and shouted in surprise.

"Brother Yuanlong, how can you have charcoal here?"

"Xudu has carbon, why doesn't Xuzhou have it? Since Xudu returned, Chen sent someone to search in Guangling Mountains. He found three places at once, and there was also Brother Tuqiu's kang. Chen also promoted it in Guangling. Now in Guangling, but everyone knows that Wang Nuan kang has used it!"

I really didn't expect that Wang Hou would have a fan in Xuzhou, and Chen Deng was proudly showing off with a wine pot.

"And not long after leaving Xu, the name of Yexiang Cangcao of Tuqiu's brother spread. Chen knew that Tuqiu was aimless and learned from his brother Tuqiu. He claimed to be the prefect of Yexiang and hoarded Yehong, which could be controlled by Guangling County, and went down to the fields. Tuqiu's theory of grain reincarnation was indeed magical. This year, Guangling's lower fields have achieved an annual output of three stones, and the upper fields have reached a bumper harvest of six or seven stones per mu! "

"Brother Tuqiu, you are not authentic now! I won't inform you of such a good thing. Fortunately, Chen is asking about Xu Du at any time, otherwise he would have missed the 100,000 shi increase this year! Haha!"

Before, Chen Deng was the Diannong School Captain in Xuzhou. He was catchy in this farming matter, but Wang Hou was not too concerned about his words. He even forgot to rub his hands that were frozen to the point of being frozen. He was full of surprise. Wang Hou sat upright in surprise.

"So! Brother Yuanlong's Guangling has stored a lot of coal?"

"Of course! This time I went north to meet with Prime Minister Cao, Chen also brought twenty trucks of coal. Judging from Tu Qiu's appearance, he really brought it right!"

Chen Deng was still pounding, but Wang Hou's eyes were bright like a light bulb, and he jumped up suddenly, and he suddenly pulled Chen Deng's sleeves as hot as a gay man, shaking them excitedly.

"Twenty cars are not enough, Brother Chen, two hundred cars! Two hundred cars of coal, you will be a great achievement this time to defeat Lu. If there are five hundred cars of coal, the Lu thief in Xia Pi will definitely die!"

His head was shaking dizzy. Seeing Wang Hou suddenly become nervous like a zombie, Chen Deng was stunned for a moment, while Cao Hongjie, who was beside him, looked sympathetic and patted his shoulder helplessly.

"He's just like that, just get used to it!"

…………

Although Wang Hou suddenly became nervous and did not explain what it took to do with so much coal, the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty was such a magical era. The spirit of the scholars who died for their confidants in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was still strongly retained. After Wang Hou's words, Chen Deng stopped the army for his friend, and then mobilized the power of the Chen family in Guangling to transport coal for him.

It was precisely because of the sudden transportation of coal that Chen Dengguangling's army, who could have been able to reunite with the main force of the Cao army within four days, delayed it for another sixteen days. When he returned to Xiapi City, it was already mid-November.

However, when Wang Hou was ordered to go on Guangling, there was not much change in the battlefield of Cao's army's besieged city. The ground was too hard due to the cold weather. It was tightly surrounded by snow to build the first trench around Xia Pi City. It was dug less than half a meter of earth pit on the ground, and as for the earth mountain, it was less than half a meter of land.

Just at the gate of the city, Xiahou Dun and Li Dian cursed at the change of shifts. However, looking at the traces on the ground, it was estimated that the effect of this verbal battle was average. With Chen Gong guarding him, Lu Bu was not aroused at all. The entire attack and defense battle in Xia Pi had not yet begun in half a month.

Cao Cao was very dissatisfied with Chen Deng, the inner supporter. After all, he came to Xudu in person and offered a plan to pacify Lu. Now that the army has been in Xuzhou for more than a month, he has not shown up for a long time. Anyone would probably feel deceived. However, when he heard that Chen Deng’s eight thousand troops did not bring any supplies, he brought more than 500 ox carts of coal, Cao Cao personally welcomed him out of the camp with his civil servants and generals.

"Xuzhou local chief Chen Deng, pays homage to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is ordered to fight against the thief. Chen Yuanlong should have come immediately with a strong and held a sharp edge, but he is determined to fight against the thief, but he is burdened by the trivial matters of preparing the army. It has been delayed. It is really a serious crime. I hope the Prime Minister will forgive him!"

Looking at the welcoming posture, Chen Deng already knew that he believed Wang Hou had the right bet! However, facing Cao Cao's enthusiasm to welcome him, he immediately lowered his posture and turned over and bowed.

When others gave face, Cao Cao was naturally Zhou Gong who was respectful to the wise and polite. He laughed and turned over and dismounted, and put his body on him. It was probably because he had exploited Wang Hou's down cloak to put on Chen Deng himself and said with a smile.

"What is Yuanlong's crime? For Cao, your arrival is like a tiger's wings! Yuanlong is invited to get up quickly! Please get up quickly! Come on, let's serve, and I will join the camp with Yuanlong!"

The face was really given, but the coals were still more abundant. Chen Deng followed Cao Cao into the camp, and Xiahou Dun and Li Dian, who were smoking in the other side, couldn't wait to bring back the high-quality large pieces of raw coal dug out of the Xuzhou coal mine back to the camp.

Without any tricks, Cao Cao calculated everything. Before going to war, he calculated the right time, place, and people, and even missed the impact of this weather on the war.

It snowed heavily for more than ten days, and the weather was cold. Not to mention the strong men who came with the army, even the soldiers of each army would freeze to death. Moreover, there was a shortage of supplies in this era. A few people in the TV series had a tent, which was a dream! Only the officials could be assigned to certain leather tents. Most of the soldiers were similar to those when Wang Hou's troops were in the winter last year. They just used straw and wood to support a shed, which was the place to live in the winter!

No wonder it is said that in the bitter and cold land, in the severe cold, the knife wind blows the Huaihe Plain, the cold weather makes the water turn into ice, and the soldiers can't even go out. Most of the day are hugging each other and trembling to keep warm. In this case, it is difficult to fight the city, even if it is a field battle with Lu Bu's army!

Then Chen Deng appeared in front of Cao Jun with more than 500 trucks of coal, about one ton each truck, and more than 500 tons of coal. At that moment, Chen Deng, who had a handsome beard and sewed the collar of the down jacket with sable fur, was simply an angel to Cao Jun!

But Chen Deng was also very interested. As Cao Cao entered the central army, he asked someone to carry the iron stove in. After lit the honeycomb coal and heated it, he did not forget Wang Hou's contribution. He held the wine that Cao Cao personally gave him, stood up again, held the hot wine in both hands and bowed heavily.

"Prime Minister, transporting coal here to relieve the troubles of the army, so he reminded Wang Hou, the Transport Author of King Tu. The subordinates only followed his advice. The King Transport Author was as careful as he was! Chen asked the Prime Minister to remember his achievements!"

Cao Cao nodded again with understanding, and was rewarded but did not regard himself. Chen Deng's image in his eyes was a little higher. Around him, Guo Jia also showed a smile, thinking that Wang Hou was frozen last year and could think about transporting coal. As expected, he was the one who was almost the same as him!

But then he picked up the wine and looked around, Guo Jia suddenly shouted in surprise.

"By the way, where is the King Wang Hou's fortune transfer? Didn't he come back with you with the prefect of Guangling?"

"Five miles away from the camp, Wang Zhuanyun sent Yan back to the camp first. If there is something important to deal with, didn't he pay a visit to the Prime Minister first?"

Chen Deng also looked shocked and replied with a drink. The rebellious question made the entire military camp look at each other.

Where did Wang Hou go??

At this time, the envoy Wang Zhuanyun was still staying in Cao's camp with all his duties, but in the helplessness of Deputy Envoy Cao's face, this guy was like his life being cut down. He knelt heavily on the ground with his sad legs, and roared to the wood chips of the rear army with a sad face, holding his hands high and roaring to the sky.
