It is hard to raise rice and return to the Xiematai Palace.

He conveyed Cao Shuo's response to the female official who served Bei Mihu.

The female official returned to the backyard of the palace.

After entering one of the rooms, the female official said to the place with the bead curtain hanging: "Queen, it's hard to raise rice back."

"Did he say how the King of Huainan would withdraw his troops?" A woman's voice came from behind the pearl curtain.

Judging from the sound, this woman is not old, at most she is only about twenty years old.

"The King of Huainan is still as difficult as before." The female official said: "He said he wanted the queen to go to bed before he was willing to withdraw his troops."

The woman behind the bead curtain was silent.

After a long silence, her voice came from behind the pearl curtain: "Send the order and let all countries send reinforcements to the city to resist the King of Huainan."

The female official stepped down.

Outside the city, Cao's army camps and catapults were still being built in full swing.

Standing at the edge of the military camp, Cao Shuo looked at the wooden city wall in the distance with his hips.

"Young Master." Ju Su walked over from behind.

After looking back, Cao Shu smiled slightly: "Does Ju Gong still have doubts? I can't figure out why I have to fight out of the cloud?"

"Yes." Ju Su said: "Although I can't figure it out, I don't plan to ask again."

"Why?" Cao Shuo asked.

"The reason is very simple." Ju Su said: "The things that the young master decided must make sense. If the young master refuses to say it, no matter how much I ask, I can't ask it."

"There is only one thing I can say. The Izumo people don't know how to be grateful. Instead of being kind to them and teaching them a lot of things, it's better to destroy them directly, so as to save the trouble to the Central Plains in the future." Cao Shu said: "As for why I think so, there is no need for Mr. Ju to know. As long as you know what I said will not be fake."

Ju Su did not ask more questions. He just asked Cao Shu: "When will the young master start to trick Yun's woman into the Central Plains?"

"Give it first." Cao Shuo said: "How much can I grab it, Mr. Ju said before, it's useless to ask for it when he's too old. We should always leave some comfort to the Izumo people. Anyway, Izumo people are not picky about food in this regard, and leave some holes that can be used for them. They should be grateful."

Ju Su was covered in black lines.

Many times, Cao Shu is still polite in his manners, which makes people feel his demeanor.

However, there are also times when Cao Shu speaks even more rudely than the people in the market.

At this time, Cao Shuo was purely a rude face.

"Himihu will never be willing to be defeated." Ju Su said: "She will definitely ask for help from outside. Izumo still has thirty small countries..."

"Send many scouts." Cao Shuo said: "Searching for sure whether there are any enemy troops coming to help. As long as anyone dares to support them, they will immediately send troops to destroy them."

Ju Su responded and said to Cao Shu: "Young Master only brought more than 12,000 people, but the way to use troops is like bringing millions of troops. Even if I use troops like this, I don't have such courage."

"Because our opponents are too weak." Cao Shuo smiled and said, "Warring a group of opponents who have not yet cultivated their blood, does Mr. Ju think I have to keep it?"

"Young Master said," Ju Su responded and conveyed Cao Shu's order to go.

The capital of Xiematai was surrounded, and there were indeed several Izumo soldiers coming to rescue, but they were all intercepted and killed by Cao's army halfway.

Several reinforcements were destroyed by Cao's army, and there was no kingdom that dared to send troops to come again. Xiematai became an isolated country.

The catapult cart was built one by one, and Cao's soldiers transported a can of oil next to the catapult cart.

Standing behind Cao Shu, Huang Zhong said with some confusion: "It is said that Bei Mihu has evil magic, but I have never seen her use it until now..."

"Evil art?" Cao Shuo grinned and asked Huang Zhong: "Does General Huang know about Yu Ji and Zuo Ci?"

"I've heard of it." Huang Zhong said: "It is said that the young master asked them to refine elixirs in Bagong Mountain, but I have never met them."

"If General Huang wants to see them, I can recommend them when he returns to Shouchun." Cao Shu said: "The two of them were also rumored to be magical before, and the people regard them as immortals. After seeing me, they have lost all their magic. All they can do is to refine some elixirs and use some tricks."

Looking at the wall of Xiematai, Cao Shu said, "I don't deny that there will be evil magic in this world. If there is any reason, it will make sense. Not all rumors are false. But I can believe that Himemihu has no magic at all. She just used some tricks like Yu Ji, Zuo Ci and others, which prompted the Izumo people to think that she has magic."

"According to the young master's opinion, is she a female liar?" Huang Zhong was stunned.

"General Huang's words are well summarized." Cao Shuo grinned and patted his arm: "The catapult car has been prepared. Please ask the general to assemble the shooting camp and ask the soldiers to prepare rockets. Once the catapult car stops launching, they will immediately shoot arrows at the city wall."

Huang Zhong replied with his fists.

He believed Cao Shuo's statement 100%.

As he said before, if Himemihu was really capable, he had already used it when the Izumo army fought with the Cao army, and he would not have watched the Cao army siege the city.

He was ordered to summon the Sharp Shooting Camp, and Huang Zhong stood in front of the soldiers.

Every soldier of the sharpshooter was tied to the arrows with oil-filled linen.

The catapult cart, which was ready to fight, was also ready to launch pots filled with oil at any time to the city wall.

"Send the order and cast the catapult." Cao Shuo issued an order to attack.

With the horns, more than a dozen catapults under the control of Cao's army, cast pots onto the walls of the capital of Xiematai.

The pottery jar rolled in the air, flew towards the city wall, and hit it, and the oil splashed everywhere.

Looking at the wooden wall with oil splashed, Cao Shu said to Ju Su on the side: "I found that Izumo people are really strange. Building such a wall actually wants to resist the attack of the army. Don't they know that a fire can burn the city wall completely, and even a complete piece of wood cannot be left behind."

"Izumo is different from the Central Plains after all," Ju Su said: "Compared with the Central Plains, the people of Izumo are still a little stupid. Building such a city wall is enough to resist the enemy's attack. Of course, the premise is that they meet not a young master or any of the soldiers in the Central Plains."

The oil was smashed on the city wall in cans, and soon the wood-built city wall was soaked with oil.

When the last can of oil hit the city wall and some oil stains were added to the wood, the catapult stopped.

Huang Zhong, who had been waiting for a long time, shouted: "Shark Scar Camp, ignite the fire!"

Five hundred soldiers of the Shinichi camp opened their long bows and put up arrows wrapped in linen on the bowstrings. Several Cao troops holding torches ran past their array and ignited the arrows one by one.
