As soon as the civil servant who conveyed the urban policy left, Wu Fan ordered the soldiers to summon Hua Xiong and others back to the main hall of the palace, and there was military intelligence to discuss it.

Xuchang is the second largest metropolis in the Central Plains except Luoyang, with a population of more than 400,000, second only to Luoyang. Since it is in the traffic rushing towards Chenliu in Jingyu and Yu prefectures, once Xuchang is taken down, the west side of Chenliu can be safe without worries.

This is also an important reason why Cao Cao issued a strategy to guide Xuchang urban city.

However, the place that made Wu Fan really interested in Xuchang was the talent buried in this city. According to the current game year, five great men, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, Chen Qun, and Xi Zhicai, are all in Xuchang, and they are all in the wild, which is an excellent time to explore and log in.

Originally, Wu Fan was thinking about whether he would take the time to explore Xuchang in the recent period, dig out all these five great people, and count how many of them could be counted. However, considering that the city under his rule was three or four days away from Xuchang, there would be many days to go back and forth on the road, and the time he stayed in Xuchang would take at least half a month.

Having left the city he ruled for half a month was a common occurrence when playing games, but after actually coming to this game world, Wu Fan was very cautious about this issue. Because although this world comes from the game framework, there are many variables in specific details, and the sense of reality makes the attacks between forces not as conservative as in the game.

If other forces come to attack the city when they leave Puyang, or even capture the city, then the officials they recruit will return to the monarch city like themselves and become the monarch's direct subordinates. In this way, their previous efforts will be in vain.

Therefore, although Wu Fan knew that there were wild buffalo people in many cities across the country at this time, he could not leave Puyang and go for exploration.

The urban policy of Xuchang issued by Cao Cao is exactly what Wu Fan said: Taking Xuchang as his own, then the next exploration will save much more trouble.

So, as soon as the civil servants who conveyed the urban policy left, Wu Fan summoned all the subordinates to the main hall of the palace.

After telling everyone about Cao Cao's urban policy on striking Xuchang, Wu Fan immediately ordered: Immediately send troops to attack Xuchang!

The candidates for commanding the troops: Wu Fan is the general, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren and Tian Feng are the generals, leading a total of 20,000 troops. Among them, Wu Fan led 8,000 Qingzhou soldiers (this is the maximum number of troops Wu Fan currently leads), Xia Houyuan and Tian Feng each led 4,000 archers, and Cao Ren led 4,000 cavalry.

Huaxiong stayed in Puyang, and the remaining troops were 10,000.

Since Chen Gong has been sick at home for the past half month, he naturally stayed in Puyang.

After everyone received the order, Wu Fan immediately ordered his subordinates to send troops to convey the news that he immediately sent troops to attack Xuchang to Cao Cao, hoping that Cao Cao could send reinforcements from Chenliu to help him. After receiving the order, he rode a fast horse and drove away from Chenliu.

According to game experience, when the monarch ruled the city without a threat of war, most of them would support the siege of his subordinates.

Although Xuchang is just a powerless city, which is often called "empty city" in the game, there are still local officials and troops in the city. Wu Fan had no experience in attacking empty cities in this world before, so he did not know how different the military deployment in the empty city was when the game was played. Naturally, it was better to let Cao Cao send some troops to help him. The so-called more is the better.

There is no need to mention the process of dispatching troops and generals. After lunch that day, Wu Fan led the 20,000 troops to Xuchang.

Two days later, the army arrived at Guandu and then continued Cao Cao who had sent troops from Chenliu.

Cao Cao personally took charge of the war this time, and his generals were Xia Houdun, Yu Jin, Dian Wei, and Xu Zhu, who also brought 20,000 troops and horses, and joined Wu Fan's troops to form a total of 40,000 troops.

Since the boss took the battle personally, Wu Fan naturally retreated to the second line, and the general of 40,000 troops became Cao Cao, and Wu Fan became one of the generals. Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren and Tian Feng matched Wu Fan with generals.

Forty thousand soldiers and horses stepped up their march and arrived outside Xuchang City two days later. The defenders in the city were already on high alert. Cao Cao's army, wearing dark blue military uniforms, faced the Xuchang's army, wearing light gray military uniforms, far away from the moat. Since the purpose of both sides was very clear, they were spared from nonsense. Cao Cao immediately issued an order to siege the city after the 40,000 troops were completed!

During this period, the scene was naturally a fierce battle. Cao's army suppressed the archers on the city from two wells. Infantry carried a cloud ladder and rushed to the city with arrows and thunderstones on the city, forcibly climbing the city! Archers on both sides shot against each other through the moat, while the cavalry took advantage of the rapid movement. Sometimes, when the archers on the city were suppressed, they rushed to the city gate to attack the city gate.

Generally speaking, in the battle against the city, the siege often loses more troops, and the vast majority of troops are lost in the process of climbing the city wall. This time, the same is true for this military operation. After Cao's army suffered 3,000 casualties, Wu Fan personally led 8,000 Qingzhou soldiers to climb the city wall, killing the archers on the city wall, and defeating the army!

With such chaos in the archers on the city, the Cao army under the city naturally had a more rapid offensive. As the city gate was broken, more than 30,000 Cao troops rushed into the city like a flood! The defenders in the city had to fight and retreat, but in front of the unstoppable Cao army, they were no longer able to turn the world back, and in the end they had to abandon their weapons and surrender!

Xuchang took it. In order to explore the next plan of entering the great man in Xuchang, Wu Fan asked Cao Cao for instructions to appoint himself as the prefect of Xuchang. Cao Cao happily agreed.

After receiving Cao Cao's appointment, Wu Fan immediately asked the messenger to return to Puyang and ordered the left-behind Hua Xiong and Chen Gong to come to Xuchang. Of course, the families of all the generals, including Wu Fan, should also bring them together.

Cao Cao was naturally very happy to see that his power had another city, and it was a large city like Xuchang with a population of more than 400,000. After saying goodbye to Wu Fan outside the city, he would lead a team back to Chenliu.

At this time, a horse ran quickly from the direction of Chenliu's official road, raised all the smoke and dust, and came to Cao Cao's approaching. The horse almost fell down, lay on the ground, and cried bitterly.

Wu Fan turned around and looked at him. He turned out to be Cao Chun, a brother and general of Cao Cao's clan.

What could make General Cao Chun so disobedient? Wu Fan hesitated in his heart. Suddenly, Wu Fan thought of something - could it be Cao Cao's father...

At this time, Cao Cao had already asked Cao Chun in surprise:

"Why is Zihe so crying? Tell me quickly!"

Cao Chun knelt down and cried a few steps, came to Cao Cao's horse and cried:

"Brother! Brother... Uncle (Cao Song) brought his whole family from Langya to join Chenliu. Unexpectedly, he was intercepted by Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou. The whole family was more than 40, and they were all slaughtered..."

"What?! My father...ah! It hurts so much!!"
