Chapter 137: The Siege (Part 3)

ps:无奈,今天晚上断电了。一道贼响的雷声响起,伴随着一道极亮的闪电划下,我们寝室没电了,就尼玛很离谱。然后又是一道闪电划过,雷声响起,灯亮了,但是依然没有其他电源。插座没电,wifi就没了,电脑也没法充电,灯都没有,空调也停了,我是真无语了。暴雨下撑伞没有任何用处,走到外面去找维修工,一脚踩下去,脚直接被水淹没了,全身湿透还因为断电没有热水洗澡,真的刺激。然后修完了又断电一次,我现在整个人狂躁得很。然后,手机码字真的很难受,而且效率真的不高,我也不知道能码出多少字,看人品吧。

陈登感觉自己仿佛是听错了,再问了一遍“您是说,广陵郡交给我?”

曹操对于这两位有才的年轻人都表现出了十足的耐心“不光是广陵郡,应该说是我曹军境内整东南方的方位!”

Chen Deng remained calm and did not show excessive excitement, which was a trait he learned from his father, Chen Gui, who never displayed his emotions.

"Yuan Long, I can trust you, right!"

Although it is a question, Cao Cao's tone is affirmative. However, he doesn't completely trust Chen Deng, but rather trusts Man Chong, Guo Jia, and Ming Mirror Hall.

Mingjingtang has already informed Cao Cao about the backgrounds, personalities, and characteristics of Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, and Mi Fang. What Mi Zhu lacks is respect, while what Chen Deng needs is recognition! As long as these two individuals are satisfied and combined with Mi Zhu's emphasis on righteousness and Chen Deng's devotion to his family, they will never betray themselves.

As for Mifang, Cao Cao did not like this person very much. Analysis from the confidential report received from Mingjing Hall suggests that Mifang is rather mediocre in ability and tends to be petty and overly concerned about self-esteem, which can even affect his conduct and interactions as an official. If he had the ability and a better temperament, Cao Cao wouldn't mind him, but since he lacks outstanding talent and has a bad temper, Cao Cao would rather not have such a person serving as an official.

But, he is Mi Zhu's younger brother, and Cao Cao doesn't want to contradict him. However, if he is given a high-ranking position, there will inevitably be concerns about his ability and character; if he is made a low-ranked official, it would appear stingy and may risk losing the support of the Mi family.

Just at this moment, Guo Jia spoke up.

"Mengde, I have another position for Zifang. Can he serve as my subordinate?"

"Oh? Fengxiao speaks up; Zifang must have great potential. Zifang, are you willing to follow Fengxiao?" Although Cao Cao didn't know what Guo Jia intended to do with Mifang, Guo Jia clearly understood his thoughts. Therefore, he naturally wanted to get rid of this big burden, Mifang.

糜芳也有些小聪明,他知道自己才能比起兄长糜竺还是有所不如的,但是他也有自己的野心,也想建立功名,但这需要机遇。郭嘉是曹操麾下第一谋主,真正的一人之下万人之上,和曹营诸将关系都十分密切。而且从方才曹操、郭嘉与陈群之间的相处状况看来,郭嘉这个军师祭酒似乎很平易近人,并没有那种高人一等的傲气,不是个难伺候的主。而且,跟着郭嘉,战功想来不会少。再说了,曹操找你商量,难道你就真的以为是商量吗?到时候拒绝了,同时得罪曹操和郭嘉,别说升官发财,保全性命就谢天谢地了。

"I am willing, thank you Lord, thank you Sir." With this in mind, Mifen Fang promptly agreed.

Guo Jia looked kindly at Mifen Fang, knowing very well that Mifen Fang was a difficult person to handle, but this person might not necessarily be hard to deal with. Note:

To be honest, Guan Yu's attitude of looking down on everyone and being arrogant is really off-putting. After all, Mi Fang is Liu Bei's elder brother-in-law, or in modern terms, he is a well-connected insider and a major shareholder. Guan Yu and him are also somewhat related. Yet, in the military camp, Guan Yu would say things like "Wait until I finish the battle and I'll show you." Mi Fang, on the other hand, is someone who values his reputation, so the more you look down on him and mistreat him, the more he will stand up to you.

However, Guo Jia feels that someone like him, if you give him respect, give him opportunities, and trust him, he will also repay you. Besides, since the Mi family originally made their fortune through business, it can be assumed that Mi Fang is also capable in the realm of commerce. This is also one of the primary reasons why Guo Jia wants to approach Mi Fang.

In this era, people value farmers and scholars, but underestimate the power of merchants and traders. They simply do not understand the art of business, let alone bother to learn it. Therefore, the armies of Cao Cao indeed lack someone who is skilled in commerce.

Amidst the discussion among the crowd, a distant sound of war drums and battle cries could be heard, lasting for nearly two quarters of an hour.

Cao Cao urgently ordered someone to find out the situation, and scouts reported that it was an attempt by the Xuzhou army to counterattack and reclaim the grain storage outside Xunyang. However, Cao Hong was already prepared and had stationed heavy troops in various warehouses. After failing to achieve their goal in one strike, the Xuzhou army quickly retreated. Cao Hong led his troops to pursue for a while, hoping to seize the opportunity to break into the city, but they were repelled by a rain of arrows from the Xuzhou army.

"What are the casualties?"

"We have lost more than five hundred soldiers and decapitated one thousand five hundred enemy troops!"

Cao Cao nodded, having experienced the previous ambush on the dam, Cao Hong seems to have learned from that lesson.

————————————————————————————————————

At night, most of the Cao army had already fallen asleep, still wearing their sturdy armors. After all, it was a matter of survival, and no one would complain about how uncomfortable it was to sleep in them.

"Kill!"

"Kill Cao's dog! Take back the granary!"

In Cao Hong's tent, snores filled the air. The guards stationed at the entrance heard the cries for murder and rushed into the tent to wake Cao Hong. However, Cao Hong had already gotten up and armed himself with a longsword and a broadsword. He stepped out of the tent and complained, "Damn those cowards! When will these bastards from Xuzhou Army be done!"

Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and others were also awakened by the shouting and killing sounds. All the generals were sent out by Cao Cao to repel the enemy, leaving only Xu Chu and Dian Wei, two military strategists, and the civil servants in the central military tent. Translated content: "

Cao Cao's eyes were slightly closed, obviously annoyed by being suddenly awakened. As Guo Jia, who had a bad temper when waking up, became even more displeased, his face turned black. However, despite their unhappiness, everyone was analyzing Tao Qian's intentions.

Xi Zhicai frowned and felt that this night raid was somewhat unusual. He always felt that Tao Qian's intention was not simply to seize the grain depot. And the first time you said you didn't know that the depot was heavily guarded, and the second time you still didn't know? Of course, it could also be understood as wanting to try a night raid to see if it would be effective. But everyone knows that the Cao army is most skilled in night battles, how could they not be prepared for a night raid? How can it be explained as sending batches of people to their deaths?
