In the treacherous fire, Xu You, who had stood still for a long time, could not bear the appearance of everyone saying nothing.

He said to Cao Ang, who had a blank expression, "Nephew! The war is not good at the moment, and you are now the head of the army. You should come up with a strategy so that the army can respond appropriately!"

Cao Ang, whose face was still muddy, raised his calm eyes and glanced at the gorgeously dressed scholar gently. This new strategist was very proud of his work. Cao Ang's straight eyebrows frowned for a moment without any trace.

A hint of anger arose in my heart: "My father's condition has not yet been concluded, but has this old guy started to be old? Is it so difficult to respect me as a young master or a young master?

Humph! He was afraid that he would never treat me, a young man, as a 'virtuous nephew, as a person who can take charge of the matter!"

Xu You, who thought he would save Cao's army in danger, certainly felt that his contribution was huge at the beginning. His proud and flaunting tone on weekdays offended all the civil and military soldiers in Cao's camp.

Even the lord of everyone, Cao Cao, was his virtuous brother as Xu You, not to mention the others and Cao Ang, the new young lord!

In fact, Xu You didn't have any malice in his heart. It's just that as a new strategist, he has no foundation to rely on, which makes him always feel empty. Therefore, he is too eager to establish his position in Cao's camp.

His overly exaggerated style and show-off behavior seemed out of place in Cao's camp, which has always been simple and humble.

Originally standing at the door of the tent, Cao Zhang, who was even younger, pulled the corners of his mouth, and the yellow beards covered with the corners of his mouth suddenly trembled a few times. His growing yellow beards made him look much more mature. At this time, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

Taking two steps forward without moving, approaching Xu You who was still proud of him, as if he was asking Cao Ang.

The plot was perfect in Xu You's mind. As long as Cao Ang humbly asks him, his senior, for advice. Xu You will offer a lot of tricks to solve the current dilemma of Cao's army and establish his position in front of this new lord.

Instead of looking at the dim candle like those old guys, he was desperately looking at the dim candle. No one was willing to offer any advice. Would you let everyone wait for death together? When the Jiangnan army comes, there is nowhere to apply if there is a plan!

Seeing that Cao Ang still had no intention of speaking, Xu You couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He didn't want to wait any longer, but took a step towards Cao Ang, wanting to give Cao Ang some motivation.

But before he could speak again, he suddenly felt that he suddenly flew up. Before he could react, he had already hit the ground heavily. With just this, the severe pain had already made him faint instantly.

Cao Zhang's somewhat rude voice sounded: "This old man knows to point fingers at us all day long. It seems that we are already dead without him, and it is really annoying to see that he is approaching you again and again, he must have bad intentions!"

Seeing his third brother suddenly rising up, he smashed Xu You who was almost forcing him to the ground with just one move. Cao Ang couldn't help but feel a little dull. He hated this boastful and self-righteous scholar who was too close to him, and never thought of taking his life.

However, looking at the movement Cao Zhang made just now, with his brute force, Xu You was afraid that his neck had been broken. Looking at the guy with his head tilted and his breath was gradually weakening, Cao Ang could only smile helplessly and wave to the two guards beside him.

"Oh! Ziwen, how could you be so reckless? This Mr. Xu still has great contributions to us!"

Before he finished speaking, Xia Houyuan here had already spoken to Cao Zhang and said, "Zi Xiu! This sour man is in a sneaky way. He is even more arrogant and arrogant when facing the soldiers in the army. But he can't blame Ziwen for doing too much! This guy is just seeking death!

If Ziwen doesn’t take action, others will take action! Now we are facing a crisis and cannot tolerate such a black sheep!”

Cao Ang did not face Xu Youshi's disgust for his uncle who had been watching him grow up. Looking at his two relatives, he could only pretend to sigh: "Oh! You guys! Forget it, let's bury Mr. Xu! We can't treat the heroes unfairly!"

Xu You, who was talking too much, could not live anymore and could not use his brother to fill his life. After all, Cao Zhang also solved a problem for himself. Cao Ang felt very relaxed and happy. How could he really punish his third brother?

Seeing that Cao Ang just ordered the guards to lift Xu You, who had no breath, down, and didn't even call the doctor.

Man Chong's face turned dark and he was about to come forward to persuade him, but he was stopped by Cheng Yu, who was so skilled in dealing with things.

Man Chong, who wanted to say something, looked inquiring, but saw Cheng Yu shaking his head slightly at him. He naturally understood what Cheng Yu meant to shake his head. Who wouldn't know how Mingzhe would protect himself? He just felt unfair for Xu You, who was still loyal.

A person who just likes to show off his achievements will not be easily killed, and no one can say anything about him. You must know that the old lord is still in the camp yet.

But the two sons and uncle began to take human life apart, and they were newly surrendered ministers with some credit. Such a killing of heroes would never happen when the old lord was there.

Even if it is disgusting, you should find a suitable excuse.

Looking at the two serious young men, whether it was Cao Ren, the governor of the three armies, or Xia Houyuan, as a general, Li Dian and other generals, they all seemed to have never seen this. Man Chong could only comfort himself. This Xu You was just an exception and such a thing should not happen again. But he felt a little cold in his heart.

Xun You didn't even look at Xu You who was carried away by the guards, and said to Cao Ang: "Young Master! Now the lord is seriously ill and needs treatment. The defense at the head of Shu County is too difficult. Our army should make more objects for siege, otherwise it will only be a strong attack, and there will be heavy casualties!"

Seeing that his father's planner respected him so much, Cao Ang's face was filled with joy. The feeling of worry was still a little relieved. Xun You's attitude at this moment almost represented the recognition of the old men in the army.

With the support of old men like Xun You and Cheng Yu, Cao Ang will naturally succeed in taking over the position of Yanzhou Governor.

With Cao Cao's careful training, Cao Ang, who had already had experience in handling affairs, immediately struck while the iron was hot and began to issue an official order: "Well! What Gongda Military Advisor said is that our army is not good today and our morale is slightly reduced. From tomorrow, the entire army will be on standby for one day and prepare for siege weapons."

He paused for a moment before he said politely to Cheng Yu: "Mr. Zhongde! I'll ask you for this important task of supervising the siege equipment!"

Cheng Yu naturally stepped forward without any hesitation to take the order. The old lord was seriously ill and might die at any time. His last order before he fainted was to attack the city and take revenge. He, the leader of the old minister, naturally would not mean to resist.

Although under the supervision of experienced Cheng Yu, he had to make a large number of siege equipment in a hurry. Various materials seemed to be in serious shortage. The skilled craftsmen tried their best to work and tried their best to do everything possible.

In the early morning of the third day, the wooden shields, collisions, simple catapults and other items that can be delivered can only be used for attacks from the two city gates. Cao Angxin was worried and ordered without hesitation that the two gates in the northeast should be the main ones and the southwest should be the auxiliary ones, and the entire army would continue to attack the city.

Cao Ren, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, was appointed as the commander-in-chief and dispatched by the central army. The other generals were responsible for the offensives of each sect.

The sky had just turned bright, and the arrows that had been stopped for a day were shot again in the sky above Shu County. There were strokes on both sides from time to time, but the Jiangnan Army on the top of the city was obviously much stronger than the defense of the Cao army soldiers who were sieging the city.

All the finished products, semi-finished armor, weapons and arrows for defense operations in Shuxian were all transferred out of the warehouse and factory by Zhang Zhao and others, and distributed to each soldier.

The soldiers may be able to save one more life if they have more defense. One more crossbow on the city wall can kill and injure more Cao's army. All capable people in the city were mobilized to enter the temporary craftsman camp to rush to make weapons and armor.

As for the "high-tech weapons" such as the continuous crossbow, they can only be contacted by the original craftsmen in the city and are responsible for making them. Sun Ce will definitely not let them leak out at all.

Almost everyone on the front of the city is equipped with armor. Except for a few soldiers and civilians with extremely poor luck, they died under the trap. The weak arrows shot by Cao's army on the front of the city were only a hundred people in the city.

On the contrary, the Jiangnan Army used the long-range crossbow from the city and the arrows shot from the bed crossbow. Almost every arrow could cause certain casualties in the attacking Cao's army.

This unilaterally-absorbed counterattack battle lasted for another three days. Cao Ren, who commanded the entire army, saw that the attack was ineffective, but the casualties of the entire army became increasingly serious. He was worried that it would have a greater impact on the morale of the entire army.

On the sixth day of the siege, he finally ordered the general attack of the entire army. He wanted to take Shu County at all costs today.

The war has been stalemate for several days, and there should be a result. Besides, Cao Cao, who is still unconscious, will die at any time. There is also the main army of Jiangnan Army who has been confirmed to cross the river to ambush Yuan's army, and it is possible to return to Shu County at any time.

If we cannot conquer Shu County as soon as possible, obtain sufficient supplies and rest, we are afraid that Cao's army, which has been desperate for this battle, will fall into a situation of destruction.

Inspired by the almost crazy generals, the Cao army soldiers who had a full meal in the early morning of the sixth day began their siege battle again.

The finally completed collision was sent to the four gates. After a war drum, they immediately moved forward together. At the same time, more than 20,000 Cao soldiers carrying ladders also began to run from all directions towards the city wall.

After these days of high-intensity combat, the arrows on the front of the city have obviously become sparse, and there are not many arrows on the defenders.

The Cao army firmly believed that the capture of Shu County was today.
