Xue County Government Room.

Cao Shuo lay on the soft bedding.

The weather is already a little hot, and straw mats are also placed on the bedding.

He slowly opened his eyes and the sky outside the window was already a little dark.

"Young Master is awake!" As soon as Cao Shuo opened his eyes, Cai Ji came over.

"Why did I go back to the government?" Cao Shuo asked.

"The young master fainted on the head of the city." Cai Ji said, "It was General Ji who asked us to send you back."

"How long have I been fainting?" Cao Shuo struggled to sit up and asked Cai Ji.

"It's been two days." Cai Ji said: "We are all worried that we will die. The soldiers have no news of the young master. The morale is relatively low, and it is very difficult to defend the city."

"The enemy is still sieging the city?" Cao Shu asked.

"Since the young master was injured, they have not stopped." Cai Ji replied.

"Help me to the top of the city." Cao Shuo stood up with difficulty.

"Young Master is seriously injured, or..." Cai Ji tried to dissuade him.

"If the city is lost, it will be more than just serious injuries." Cao Shuo said: "Help me to the top of the city!"

Cao Shu insisted on going to the city, but Cai Ji did not dare to refuse, so he had to greet Wei Tu and others and help him leave the government.

After leaving the government, Wei Tu and Cai Ji helped him on the horse, and both of them looked at him worriedly.

"Let's go!" After getting on the horse's back, Cao Shu shook the reins and greeted everyone.

To prevent him from falling off the horse's back, Cai Ji and Wei Tu sandwiched him in the middle, while other guards followed.

Still far from the city wall, Cao Shu heard the sound of shouts of killing.

Cai Ji said: "Chen Gong sent Zhang Liao to lead troops to attack the city, and the reinforcements outside the city were not moving for a long time..."

"It was me who told Zhao Yun and Chen Dao not to rush to help too early." Cao Shuo said: "Whether Xue County can be defended depends on the soldiers in the city."

On the top of the city, Cao's soldiers resisted the enemy's attack.

Since Cao Shu was injured, the soldiers were not in high spirits.

On several occasions, the Xuzhou army almost climbed to the top of the city.

"Take them down!" Ji Ling waved his long sword and shouted loudly, slashing at a Xuzhou army who had just poked his head out of the battlement.

He knew that although the soldiers were still fighting at this time, their morale was far inferior to that when Cao Shu was still at the city wall.

The young master was not sure about his life and death, and the soldiers were all worried whether Cao Shuo could withstand Xue County.

"Young Master is here!" As he was fighting with the enemy, a shout came from under the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Ling and the soldiers on the city wall heard Cao Shuo's voice: "Soldiers, I'm back!"

Cao Shu's voice seemed to give the soldiers a shot of heart.

Morale, which had been sluggish, suddenly rose.

"Young Master is back, kill me!" Ji Ling shouted loudly, full of joy.

The Cao army soldiers with high morale roared and rushed towards the enemy troops who were climbing to the city.

The battle ended soon, and the Xuzhou army was once again defeated by Cao's army.

Cai Ji and Wei Tu wanted to support Cao Shu, but he pushed them away.

As if nothing had happened, Cao Shuo shouted to the soldiers on the city: "Soldiers, I am back!"

"Young Master is back!" Amidst the excitement and inexplicable shouts came one after another on the city wall. The Cao army soldiers cheered and rushed towards Cao Shu who had just stepped onto the city wall.

Ji Ling, with a bloody face, walked over.

He clasped his fists and asked Cao Shu, "Young Master is not a serious problem?"

"It's already fine!" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "I just stole two days and slept beautifully. Now I'm full, come and guard the city with the soldiers!"

On the top of the city, the Cao army soldiers cheered, "Young Master is back."

Chen Gong outside the city locked his eyebrows and asked Zhang Liao who had just retreated: "Wenyuan, has Cao Zirong climbed the city wall again?"

"I haven't seen Cao Zirong for two days. I'm about to break through the city, but I didn't expect him to appear again." Zhang Liao said: "I thought he was dead!"

"If Cao Zirong died so easily, we would have conquered Xue County!" Chen Gong said: "I will report that Pei County is almost unable to defend, so we have to step up the attack."

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, even if Cao Zirong returns to the city, I will definitely capture Xue County." Zhang Liao said with his fists.

At this time, Cao Shuo and Ji Ling stood side by side on the head of Xue County.

Looking at the Xuzhou Army formation outside the city, Cao Shuo said: "Send someone to tease Chen Gong."

"Send someone to tease Chen Gong?" Ji Ling asked, "How to tease?"

"It's very simple." Cao Shu said: "Take a message to Chen Gong and encourage him to step up the siege, but don't take Xue County before our army captured Pei County."

Looking back at Cai Ji, Cao Shu said, "You go, take Chen Wu with you."

"Just say this?" Cai Ji asked.

"You can tell me what you say." Cao Shuo looked at Chen Wu: "Your task is to get Chen Gong's seal. Since they dare to hurt me, I have to play with Chen Gong."

"Young Master means..." Ji Ling asked in surprise.

Grinning at him, Cao Shu said, "Lu Bu no longer believes in Chen Gong very much. If I steal his seal, I can make a big fuss about it. Even if Chen Gong can retreat to Xia Pi in the future, Lu Bu will not obey him!"

"Don't worry, young master, I will definitely be able to steal the seal from Chen Gong." Chen Wu replied with his fist.

After a while, the gate of Xue County slowly opened and a fast horse left the city.

No one noticed that while the horse was leaving the city, a black shadow flashed near the city gate and disappeared.

Of course, Cai Ji was the one who rode his horse out of the city.

He waved the white cloth and ran towards the Xuzhou army camp.

Chen Gong was about to return the bill to rest, and a guard came to him: "Report to Mr. Chen, Cao Zirong has sent someone."

"What did he send someone to do?" Chen Gong frowned and blurted out.

The guard didn't say anything.

Of course he didn't know what Cao Shu sent someone to do.

"Let General Zhang bring the people here." Chen Gong ordered.

The guard stepped down.

After a while, Zhang Liao escorted Cai Ji to Chen Gong.

Cai Ji didn't even take the politeness and said to Chen Gong: "My son asked me to send me a message to Chen Gong."

"What does Cao Zirong want to say?" Chen Gong asked.

"My son kindly persuaded Mr. Chen to either retreat to Xiapi as soon as possible and defend the city with General Lu; or he would break Xue County as soon as possible, otherwise our army would seize Xiaopei and Mr. Chen would never have a chance!" Cai Ji said.

"It is said that Cao Zirong was injured and had not gone to the city for two days." Chen Gong asked, "Is there any such thing?"

"Mr. Chen asked the young master what he was doing." Cai Ji said: "Mr. Chen is concerned about my young master, so I will definitely convey it. But the young master is not injured..."

"Then why didn't he be on the city wall for two days?" Chen Gong asked with a cold face.

"Don't Mr. Chen know about his young master's habits?" Cai Ji lowered his voice and said, "He has found a **** in the city and has been in the room with Jiao Niang these two days. After all, General Ji is defending the city, so the young master is relieved."
