Outside Rangxian City, silence enveloped everything outside the city, as if time had stopped at this moment.
The trees were silent and the grass trembled slightly, as if bound by some invisible pressure.
At night, the atmosphere of silence became even stronger, and it seemed that even the wind did not dare to blow through this area easily. The moon hung high in the sky, casting a pale light that illuminated a desolate scene.
In the silence, a few distant insects occasionally came, breaking the stillness. The faint sound sounded extremely harsh in the night.
The land outside Rangxian County is yellow and dry, the vegetation is withered, and it seems that it has lost its vitality. Smoke and dust condense in the air, forming a thin layer of fog, making distant scenery appear hazy and blurry.
This environment reveals a disturbing atmosphere, which makes people feel a little bit of fear involuntarily. It seems that there is some unknown danger hidden, which makes people uneasy.
Zhizhizhi~
The west gate of Rangxian County made a tooth-aching sound. Even though Han Li, the captain of Rangxian County, had already ordered people to pour grease on the axle of the city gate, the city gate that had been in disrepair for a long time was now secretly opened, and it still made a lot of noise. moans.
Fortunately...
Although the groaning sound was harsh to the ears of Rangxian County Lieutenant Han Li, there was no movement in the city, and no one had noticed that he had opened the city gate.
Dedication to the city and meritorious service!
Han Li's eyes lit up, Duyang Han's wealth was now in his hands!
Outside the city gate, Liu Chan and a group of civil servants and generals looked out early from the high hills outside the city.
Under the cold moonlight, the west gate of Rang County has been opened.
Han Yao had a look of satisfaction on his face, and he quickly said: "Your Highness, the gate of Rang County has been opened. Your Highness can order people to go and capture the city."
Xiang Chong hurriedly stepped forward at this time and said: "Your Highness, I will finally go there!"
Liao Hua, A Huinan and others all came forward to ask for orders.
Liu Chan chuckled and fixed his gaze on Jin.
"Your Majesty, are you willing to capture Rang County for me?"
Take Rang County?
Yu Jin was moved in his heart.
He half-knelt in front of Liu Chan with his hands raised, and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured that the general in Rang County will defeat it for Your Highness!"
All the generals under His Highness's command wanted to make meritorious deeds, but His Highness gave him this credit that could almost be said to have been picked up. How could he not be so grateful for such trust and such great kindness?
"The Lord is ready to take action, and Rang County will be able to capture him! Tonight, I want to go to Rang County for a cup of warm wine. Lord, would you like to invite me?"
Yu Jin nodded heavily and said, "Not to mention drinking, even if you are resting in the palace in the city, it is not allowed."
Originally, Yu Jin wanted to say that Xu Shang's wife, Mrs. Li, was pretty and had a pleasant appearance. I Yu Jin wanted to get it for His Highness.
But considering Guan Yinping behind Liu Chan, he decisively shut up.
With his status, it would be a real loss for Kuang to find a woman for His Highness.
It is better to find a quiet opportunity to send the beauty to His Highness.
Yu Jin is very experienced in finding married women on the battlefield, especially those who are mature and charming.
After all, the lord he followed before was very good at this.
Now that Yu Jin has changed his master and follows Liu Chan, this occupational disease has not been corrected immediately.
Although His Highness is young, he is still a man.
As long as you are a man, will you not like women?
Although girls are lovely, those who are already married women are more loving!
Wouldn’t it be better to be more proficient in the art of the house?
If His Highness realizes the beauty of it, you will understand it.
"Okay, I'll wait!"
Seeing Liu Chan's expectant eyes, Yu Jin didn't waste any time. He immediately mounted his horse, holding a spear in his hand, and led three thousand soldiers towards Rang County.
A man has grass in his mouth, and a horse has a piece of grass in its mouth.
On the way to Rang County, Yu Jin ordered the army to try not to make any noise.
But the movements of three thousand people, even if they were paying attention, the sound still spread out unconsciously.
Five hundred meters outside Kuang Rang County, all the trees had been cut down. Now the moon was in full bloom, and three thousand people were marching there, so they were naturally seen by the enemy.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Dang Dang Dang~
The huge bell on the tower was knocked up by the defenders, making a deafening sound.
The defenders of Rang County who were sleeping soundly put on their armor and got up from their tents.
Wenpin and Xu Shang also arrived in a hurry.
"What happened?"
There was a look of weakness on Wenpin's face. He had been ambushed and attacked by Xiang Chong before, and his own son died on the battlefield. Needless to say, it was painful for the white-haired man to send the black-haired man away. In addition, he was also injured when he broke through.
It is really difficult for Wenpin to show some energy when he is exhausted both physically and mentally.
"Enemy attack."
Xu Shang just got up from the bed. He was sleeping soundly with his mother-in-law in his arms, but he caused trouble for these Jingzhou soldiers!
"If you dare to come for a sneak attack, I, Xu Shang, will make him look good!"
Xu Shang snorted coldly. He was so angry now that he naturally wanted to vent it out!
When the two of them arrived at the military camp in the city, they realized that someone inside had opened the west gate of Rang County.
"No! The west side of Rang County was defended by the county lieutenant Han Li. The eggless guy actually surrendered!"
The matter was urgent, so Xu Shang immediately led his elite soldiers towards the west gate.
At this moment, in the west gate, Han Li led hundreds of personal guards to stand firmly at the city gate.
"Reinforcements have arrived, why don't you surrender?"
The Wei army's offensive in the city was one wave after another, and they simply didn't care about their own lives.
Han Li wanted to retreat behind everyone.
But if he retreats outside the city gate and lets Xu Shang close the open city gate, then what is the point of his rebellion today?
Shou!
You must keep it down!
"Han Li, rat! Come and accept your fate!"
Xu Shang held a ring-shaped sword and rushed into the enemy's formation. It was as if he was in a deserted place. None of the guards under the county lieutenant Han Li could be his enemy.
Han Li was afraid, but he had no choice but to draw his sword and step forward to fight Xu Shang.
Dang Dang Dang~
As soon as the two met, they exchanged a few moves.
Xu Shang's swordsmanship was superb, but Han Li was already stained with just a few moves.
Xu Shanghuai pulled a knife on his back, and the burning pain made him gasp.
My life is at an end!
Seeing Xu Shang charging forward, Han Li felt a chill in his heart.
"Xu Shang boy, why don't you surrender quickly?!"
At this moment, Yu Jin arrived with a silver gun in his hand.
He stabbed Xu Shang with a spear, but the latter had no choice but to give up killing Han Li and quickly blocked Yu Jin's shot.
"Junhou?"
Looking at Yu Jin on the horse, Xu Shang rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.
This is... Hou Yishouting?
Shouldn't he be in Fancheng?
Why did you come to Rang County?
besides...
Isn’t Marquis Yishou Ting with me?
Why are you coming to attack Rang County now?
Xu Shang was puzzled, shocked, and finally turned into angry!
"Yu Wenze, are you also a rat without eggs? Are you greedy for life and afraid of death? Did you surrender to Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong?"
Yu Jin put away his spear, narrowed his eyes, and said: "Your Highness is a man with a destiny, and the three prosperity of the great man is entrusted to Your Highness. When should I be greedy for life and afraid of death? I, Yu Wenze, do it for the common people of the world. You If you are willing to put things right out of chaos, for the sake of past friendship, I can give you a few kind words in front of His Highness."
"I bother!"
Xu Shang spat hard.
"I, Xu Shang, will not do anything that betrays the Lord even to my death. Yu Wenze, please give me your life!"
All my former bosses have actually surrendered.
Xu Shang felt betrayed in his heart. All kinds of complicated emotions were brewing in his heart tonight. He was completely angry. He held the ring-shou knife and headed towards Yu Jin to kill him!
Yu Jin, who was riding on the horse, held his spear tightly, his expression was solemn and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
He was aware of Xu Shang's military power, and now he did not dare to underestimate the enemy.
Fortunately, he was wearing strong armor, and his riding skills were even better. His horse's hooves struck the ground with a steady rhythm.
"Since you don't know good from evil, don't blame me for being ruthless to someone!"
The two clashed, and the spear and the ring-shou knife collided with each other, making a harsh metal collision sound.
Yu Jin's spear came out of its hole like a poisonous snake, its attacks were swift and fierce, and every thrust was full of power and accuracy.
Xu Shang's ring-shou sword danced like the wind, flexibly and quickly, trying to dodge and counterattack.
However, Yu Jin's offensive was like an iron wall, preventing Xu Shang from finding a breakthrough.
"Yeah yeah~"
Xu Shang was gradually put at a disadvantage, and the more he was at a disadvantage, the more anxious he became, and the more anxious he was, the more flaws were exposed.
Puff puff puff~
Yu Jin's superb marksmanship has already stained Xu Shang's blood.
Immediately knock him down, and being condescending already has advantages.
It's a pity that Xu Shang is ignorant of current affairs.
stop!
Just use your beautiful wife to earn some favor for me in front of His Highness!
The thoughts are smooth and Yu Jin no longer holds back.
The spear in his hand shuttled like a gust of wind. Xu Shang's counterattack became more and more difficult, and he was suppressed and retreated steadily. His figure gradually fell into Jin's control, and the fierce offensive made it difficult for him to fight back.
"Bah!"
Yu Jin roared angrily, and the strength of the silver gun in his hand suddenly increased.
Xu Shang could no longer resist Yu Jin's fierce offensive and was forced into a desperate situation. The Huanshou knife in his hand flew out during the collision with the spear, and his body was even more shaky.
Yu Jin launched the final blow without mercy, stabbing Xu Shang's chest with his spear.
"Pfft~"
With a muffled sound, Xu Shang fell to the ground, and splashes of dust filled the city.
As soon as Xu Shang died, soldiers from Shu poured into Yu Jin's body. The defenders in the city lost all courage and broke up and fled.
When Wenpin saw Yu Jin in the crowd, he lost the will to fight.
General Cao Ren was defeated.
Marquis Yishou Ting surrendered to Liu Gongsi.
Lost!
Once Xu Shang died, Rang County could no longer defend it!
escape!
Escape to Champion County.
surrender?
Wenpin didn't want to, and now he still wants to struggle.
As long as Nanyang still had a place for him to stay, he would flee all the way there.
King!
When will you arrive?
...
Fires broke out in Rang County, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and all three thousand elite soldiers poured into the city.
Han Yao quickly stepped forward and saluted Liu Chan and said, "Congratulations to your highness, congratulations to your highness, Rang County has been conquered, and Wei King Cao Cao has lost another city in Nanyang."
Liu Chan was also in a good mood.
Through the Nanyang nobles' dealings, he went down to the city to break the stronghold, and his losses could be said to have plummeted.
only...
Everything has a price.
Liu Chan looked at Han Yao with a smile on his face and said, "Don't worry, I will report my merits to you tomorrow. There are still a few guests for the crown prince in my prince's house, and I think Zi Hong can be the one."
Han Yao was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Being able to enter the prince's residence and be his guest, Han Yao can now be called an important minister of the residence.
In the future, when His Highness ascends the throne, he will definitely not be able to escape the two thousand stone official position as long as he can perform meritorious service in the future.
Zong Ziqing saw it and was very envious in his heart.
How great would it be if my eldest son, Ziqing, could also enter the prince's residence and be his guest?
Make meritorious service!
Make meritorious service!
His thoughts had already drifted to Ye County.
Xu Huang, use your life to pave the way for my Zong Ziqing’s future!
That night.
Yu Jin attacked Rangxian County and spent another hour suppressing the chaos in the city and taking control of various important mansions in the city.
Xu Shang's wife, Li, was Yu Jin's focus.
Now it is time to find a good opportunity to send this girl to His Highness' room.
Late at night, Liu Chan finally entered Rang County.
In Rang County, the chaos has stopped, but the atmosphere of war in the city still has not dissipated.
Although the corpses have been disposed of, the strong smell of blood in the air still lingers.
When they arrived at the palace in the city, Liu Chan held a banquet and had a feast with the generals. Only then did he arrive at Xu Shang's mansion.
"I can finally have a good night's sleep."
Guan Yinping sat quietly by the bed. At this time, she looked at Liu Chan and couldn't help but lick her lips.
That look in his eyes really made him want to swallow Liu Chan in one gulp.
"Ahem,"
Liu Chan coughed and had no choice but to let her play around.
First of all, there must be a standard procedure for brushing teeth.
Just as Liu Chan was floating in the sky, Fei Yi's voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
"Your Highness, Nanyang Governor Dongligun and Gongcao Zongziqing would like to see you."
I really have no eyesight.
How late is it?
It's late at night, and the sky is turning white. If you haven't rested yet, why are you here to pay your respects?
Beneath Liu Chan, Guan Yinping had a look of resentment on his face.
It really doesn’t even make people happy.
The two arranged their clothes, Liu Chan comforted Guan Yinping, and then the latter pouted, walked to the outer room, and stood behind Liu Chan.
"Let them come in."
"promise."
Outside the room, Fei Yi looked at Dongligun and Zong Ziqing angrily. He shook his head slightly and said, "You two have found a good time, please come in."
Seeing Fei Yi's joking expression, Zong Ziqing's heart palpitated inexplicably.
Is it possible...
Disturbing His Highness's good deeds?
Walking into the room, Zong Ziqing saw Liu Chan sitting on the main seat in the outer room, and Guan Yinping, the daughter of Han Shouting Marquis, was standing behind him. The two looked at each other and felt something bad in their hearts.
maybe...
The two of them really disturbed His Highness's good deeds.
In the end, Zong Ziqing bravely stepped forward and said, "The two of us disturbed His Highness late at night and disturbed His Highness' peace. Please forgive me."
You’ve already been bothered, why are you talking about this?
As a lord, it is normal for him to have no leisure time.
"It's okay. I was just about to go to bed when you came. It's not an intrusion. You two came to visit late at night, but do you have something important to do?"
Seeing that there was no blame on Liu Chan's face, both Zong Ziqing and Dongli Gun breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's really important."
Zong Ziqing nodded and continued: "And it's still related to Wei Wang's general Xu Huangzhi!"
Xu Huang?
Liu Chan's eyes lit up.
The traces of displeasure in his heart also disappeared.
Since he was here for business, it didn't matter if Liu Chan was disturbed!
"What's important? Tell me quickly."
Liu Chan's reaction made Zong Ziqing a little excited. He quickly said: "We have contact with Wei General Xu Huang. We even sent the Wancheng defense plan to the Wei army before."
Um?
Behind Liu Chan, Guan Yinping raised his eyebrows?
Send the Wancheng defense plan to the Wei army?
It turns out that your Zong Ziqing is a member of the Wei army?
Guan Yinping was about to have an attack, but Liu Chan stopped him in time.
"The meritorious officer might as well continue."
If he was really an insider, how could he let you know?
Liu Chan glanced at Guan Yinping, who snorted softly, obviously still angry at Zong Ziqing and Dongli Gun for disturbing her business.
"To be honest, before meeting His Highness, I planned to surrender Wancheng to the King of Wei."
"oh?"
Liu Chan was stunned for a moment.
When Guan Yinping heard this, he immediately snorted coldly.
"Look, it's the traitor!"
"Then why did you change your mind?"
Zong Ziqing smiled softly and said: "After seeing His Highness in Xinye and Rangxian County, I already understood in my heart that His Highness is a dragon and phoenix in the sky, not much worse than the King of Wei. Nanyang is already in the hands of His Highness, how can he be destroyed?" Is it possible for the King of Wei to take it back? Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Therefore, the Lord and I are willing to serve His Highness."
Perhaps he was afraid that Liu Chan, like Guan Yinping, would regard them as rebellious ministers and traitors, Dongli Gun said at the side: "I know that Your Highness is wise, powerful, and has a universal mind, so I informed Your Highness of the cause and effect of the matter, and I hope that His Highness will not be concerned about it." .”
Zong Ziqing looked at Liu Chan with a worried expression.
What would His Highness think?
If he still has second thoughts after surrendering, what if His Highness is blamed?
"Hahaha~"
Liu Chan laughed loudly and said: "You two are following the way of heaven, why should I blame you? If destiny is in Wei, you two can help the king of Wei, I have no objection, but if destiny is in Han, you are willing to do it for me Liu Gongsi has served his orders, how can I add to the crime?"
Liu Chan turned to look at Guan Yinping and said, "My wife just made rude remarks, please don't worry about it in your heart. She speaks quickly and has a hearty heart, which is not her intention."
No one really meant it.
Guan Yinping hummed in her heart, but when she heard the word "wife" coming out of Liu Chan's mouth, for some reason, all the resentment in her heart disappeared.
"Before meeting His Highness, the two of us were indeed treacherous ministers and traitors, but now, we want to be Han ministers!"
Before we had no choice, now we want to be good people.
"The two of you have not made any mistakes. You were deceived by Meng De before, and you didn't realize that thieves were the main ones. Now you have realized that, how can you be the traitors?"
Liu Chan smiled and continued: "What you two mean is, use the room?"
Zong Ziqing nodded.
"If Xu Huang listens to our words, your Highness will win another battle soon!"
Liu Chan's eyes flickered, but his mind was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
seemingly...
There really are some opportunities!
"In that case, do you two have a charter?"
Zong Ziqing and Dongli Gun looked at each other and said, "I am here just to give His Highness some peace of mind. The specific regulations may change as the situation changes."
There is no fixed strategy, this thing is developing all the time.
"Please also ask His Highness to allow us to return to Xinye and grant us the right to act expediently."
"good!"
Liu Chan nodded immediately.
"I promise you two to lead three thousand troops. When you arrive in Wancheng, you can act easily. I will personally write a letter to General Xiaoguan about the specific matters."
Zong Ziqing and Dongli Gun both had expressions of joy on their faces.
"Thank you for your highness's trust. When I go to Wancheng this time, I will make great contributions to your highness!"
Xu Huang's head is the qualification for my Zong Ziqing's promotion!
Liu Chan encouraged Zong Ziqing and Dongli Gun a few more words, but they did not dare to disturb Liu Chan anymore and left one after another.
After the two left, Guan Yinping fell on Liu Chan and became tired of being in Liu Chan's arms.
The squeaking little hands never stopped.
In just a few moments, Liu Chan's clothes were stripped to pieces.
"Your Highness, these two are surrendered generals. Not long after they surrendered, Your Highness handed over this important task to these two people. What if what they say is to deceive Your Highness?"
If Zong Ziqing and Dongli Gun pretended to surrender and now have Liu Chan's authority to act conveniently, if they want to surrender to Wei, it will be much easier than before.
It’s essential to be on guard against others!
Liu Chan has naturally considered Guan Yinping's concerns.
"I, Mr. Liu, have no doubts about who I employ or who I don't use. How can I hurt my loyal heart just because I am a little worried?"
Liu Chan's eyes flickered.
"Besides, I don't completely trust them."
The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows behind.
No matter whether Zong Ziqing and Dongli Gun really surrendered or pretended to surrender.
He, Mr. Liu, also had a way to deal with it and achieve a better situation for Wancheng.
"You girl..."
Just as he was saying this to the beauty in his arms, Liu Chan took a breath of air.
Guan Yinping's martial arts skills were so strong that even he, Liu Chan, almost surrendered with the use of his hands and mouth.
If I don’t do anything to you, is there any royal law left?
"Female thief, take your life!"
Immediately...
Liu Chanfei stepped forward.
There was a fight between dragons and tigers in the room.
There is no need to elaborate on the details.
...
Xuzhou.
Hefei.
Sun Quan mobilized an army of 100,000 people and marched all the way from Jianye to Liyang and from the east to Hefei. Sun Quan personally led the army along the way.
The other route started from Shu County, Lujiang County, and attacked Hefei from the west.
This way, Lu Meng was the general and Lu Xun was the deputy general.
The alliance has been concluded, and Jiangdong's army has received frequent successes along the way. It has not encountered any decent resistance at all. The two armies are now united under the city of Hefei!
"This is Hefei!"
When he arrived at Hefei City again, Sun Quan was filled with emotion.
"My lord, Wei has fulfilled its covenant, are we going to send our army to Jingzhou?"
Going to Jingzhou?
Sun Quan looked at Lu Xun who was speaking, and felt that iron could not become steel.
"If we raise our troops to go to Jingzhou but Hefei has not yet been conquered, can we safely capture the land we claimed to have captured in the past two days?"
How could he, Sun Zhongmou, come back empty-handed?
"this..."
Lu Xun was speechless.
He looked at his lord and sighed deeply in his heart.
Are you used to breaking alliances?
Not long after signing the alliance with Liu Gongsi, he broke the alliance and signed an alliance with the King of Wei. Now the King of Wei has complied with Jiangdong's request.
Want to betray the alliance and take down Hefei again?
Lu Xun already felt that his face was thick enough, but he didn't expect that his lord's face was much thicker than his!
Sensing Lu Xun's strange gaze, Sun Quan said, "But do you think that I, Sun Zhongmou, am a shameless person?"
Lu Xun quickly saluted, shook his head and said, "I don't dare."
Don't dare...
Instead of saying no.
Sun Quan sighed and said: "If we can capture Hefei, what can we do if we just become a shameless person for a while?"
Sun Quan looked at Hefei Jiancheng, a place that had failed him several times.
"If we capture Hefei, we will have stability in Yangzhou, and then we can plan for Xuzhou. This place is too important. If we capture it, Jiangdong will have no worries!"
Even if you don’t have the ambition to dominate the world, why don’t you still want to keep Jiangdong’s foundation?
Hefei is not in the hands of Sun Quan. It is like sleeping on a couch with someone else sleeping soundly. How can this be done?
"Bo Yan, don't think too much, or you will get a bad reputation. I will bear the responsibility alone!"
What does fame mean?
Is it important to have Hefei?
"promise!"
Lu Xun struggled in his eyes, but he still had to accept the order.
With Lu Meng on one side, he would be much more open-minded.
"The art of war is treacherous! Even if we take Hefei, what can King Wei say? Does he dare to cause trouble for the lord? Now that Guan Yunchang and Liu Gongsi are in Nanyang, eyeing Xudu, Mengde can only If I feel angry, I can only swallow it!"
"good!"
Sun Quan looked at Lu Meng with approval.
It was the governor who understood him, Sun Quan.
Originally, my covenant was for Hefei, but you, Cao Cao, deliberately made some moves and did not directly give Hefei to me.
If you don’t give it away, then I, Sun Zhongmou, will take it myself!
Are you angry with Cao Cao?
gas!
Do you dare to send troops to fight Hefei back?
Dare you?
If you dare, then I will form an alliance with Liu Gongsi to attack you, Cao Mengde!
Anyway, I, Sun Zhongmou, always make good!
Lu Xun also knew what Sun Quan was thinking, but this Jiangdong rat who always betrayed his alliance and was shouted at by others was really embarrassing!
"General Mo, let's prepare for the siege!"
Sun Quan gave the military order, and the 100,000-strong army immediately began to move.
...
at this time.
In Hefei City, Zhang Liao looked at the movements of Sun Quan's army and his brows began to wrinkle.
Zhang Liao, who is tall and straight, has strong muscles and a strong body. His face is thin and strong, with sharp edges and corners. Under the towering eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes flashed with sharp light, revealing endless fighting will. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk, exuding an inviolable aura at all times.
Her short black hair was neatly combed and tied back, exposing her forehead and neat ears. Although his black hair is slightly gray, it does not diminish his majesty.
"Does this Sun Quan want to attack the city?"
Zhang Liao is a general under Cao Cao!
Now he is fifty-one.
At the beginning, he served as a magistrate of Yanmen County. He also followed Ding Yuan, He Jin, Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu successively, fulfilling his duties and going through all the ups and downs. After Lu Bu's defeat, Zhang Liao belonged to Cao Cao.
Since then, he has made many outstanding achievements:
He understood the enemy's situation and persuaded Chang Xi to surrender. Attacked the Yuan family and moved to Hebei. In the battle of Bailang Mountain, he led the vanguard to defeat Wuhuan and killed Wuhuan Shan Yu Tadun. Expelled Liaodong general Liu Yi. Use silence to quell rebellion in the army. Marched into Jianghuai and defeated Chen Lan and Meicheng.
After that, he guarded Hefei for a long time.
In the 20th year of Jian'an, during the Battle of Hefei, Zhang Liao led 800 soldiers to attack Soochow's 100,000-strong army, and charged all the way to the banner of Sun Quan's commander, making the Soochow army invincible. When the Soochow troops were withdrawing, Zhang Liao led the pursuers and defeated Sun Quan, Gan Ning, Ling Tong and others, and almost captured Sun Quan alive.
After this battle, Zhang Liao became famous in Jiangdong. "Zhang Liao stopped crying" has become an allusion that has been passed down through the ages.
Looking at Zhang Wenyuan's life, it can be described as vigorous.
At this moment, this veteran general who was already famous all over the world frowned, and his hand was resting on the saber at his waist.
"The lord's alliance letter says that our Wei State has formed an alliance with Jiangdong. We have already ceded all the land south of Hefei to Soochow. What else does he want?"
Originally, there was an Anhui city below Hefei, which had high walls and thick walls and could not be captured without heavy troops. Now that Sun Zhongmou has given it to him, he still wants to attack Hefei?
Li Dian snorted coldly and said: "It's not surprising that Jiangdong rats can do anything. I think we should prepare for the defense of the city to prevent Hefei from being breached."
"There are no more than 10,000 soldiers in the city. If Jiangdong attacks, can we hold it?"
Neither of them had any doubts about the possibility of Sun Quan attacking the city.
To Sun Zhongmou, a covenant was no different than a piece of waste paper.
"Hefei has high fortifications and thick soil, a fortified city with deep trenches, abundant supplies of grain, and difficult terrain. It is difficult to capture without a strong army."
If you want to defend the city, you must first understand what cities cannot be defended. Otherwise, if you use the mantis as a chariot, you will basically be crushed into dregs.
There are some things that cannot be defended in a city: it is big but has few people; it is small but there are many; there is little food but no firewood and water; the fortress is thin and there are not enough attacking tools; the soil is sparse and underground, but irrigation can be widespread; the people in the town are tired and repairs have not been completed. . If this happens, move quickly.
Obviously, Hefei is a defensible city.
"As soon as I get the news from your Majesty, I will immediately prepare to defend the city."
As the person who beat Sun Quan into Sun Shiwan, Zhang Wenyuan's understanding of Sun Zhongmou is better than anyone else.
"Within five hundred steps outside the city, wells, trees, walls, and houses have been filled in. If there are wells that cannot be filled completely, they are also poisoned. Wood, stone, bricks, tiles, wild rice, and all kinds of things have been collected. Those that cannot be filled can be filled in. , has been burned cleanly.”
In the battle to defend the city, naturally nothing should be left outside the city to confront the enemy.
Even within five miles of Hefei, all the trees have been cut down, and those that have not been cut down have been burned.
In addition, Zhang Liao also used various kinds of food, such as grains, glutinous rice cakes, fish salt, cloth, medicine, white sticks, reed stalks and pine and birch, to accumulate salty food first, above and below the city.
In short, the walls are strong and the wilderness is clear, leaving nothing but waste to the enemy.
Don’t I, Zhang Wenyuan, know what kind of person you are, Sun Zhongmou?
Siege?
It also depends on whether you can capture it!
....
Zhang Liao's preparations obviously caused Jiangdong's army to suffer a lot.
Originally, Sun Quan was preparing to attack the city tomorrow, but after listening to Lu Xun's report, his expression turned gloomy.
"Can we attack the city after three days?"
Sun Quan thought he heard wrongly.
His 100,000 troops are outside Hefei City. It will take three days to attack the city?
Don’t you know how precious time is right now?
There are only five days left before the oath of alliance with Meng De.
He originally thought that Hefei could be captured in a day or two.
After all, Hefei and Hefei are at odds with each other, and Jiaocheng is already in their hands.
Logically speaking, this Hefei should be a hairless hedgehog, why is it still so prickly?
"My lord, I am afraid that Zhang Wenyuan has been prepared for the lord's intention. Therefore, he has to strengthen the walls and clear the country. It will take more time to collect and build siege equipment."
"Zhang Wenyuan!"
Sun Quan's fist suddenly clenched!
"Is there any way to attack the city in a short time?"
Prepare a ladder and build a rainbow bridge, then look down into the city and attack it.
This method is too time-consuming, and Sun Quan doesn't want to wait!
What if Sun Quan's intention to attack Hefei was known to the Wei army and he sent reinforcements, what would he do?
It's not the agreed time yet, and Wei King Cao Cao still has some energy left.
On the side, Dong Xi admonished: "You can send soldiers to build a mountain to attack it. We will be able to get down to the city within a few days!"
Build a mountain of earth and attack it?
With this amount of work, I'm afraid it won't even take a few days to break through the city?
"Is there a faster way?"
Sun Quan looked at Lu Meng.
"The methods of the Yuan Dynasty all took the sun and the moon to develop. Once the Hefei rescue army arrives, it will be impossible. Now our army has just arrived, and its morale is sharp. We can take advantage of this vigor to attack with all our strength. We will march in the morning in the morning, and we will prepare it at noon. Destroy the city.”
Lu Meng naturally knew what Sun Quan was thinking.
Break the city!
And it has to be fast!
In this case, there is no need to do anything fancy, just build a ladder to attack the city.
If we only build ladders, the military supplies will be enough.
As for casualties...
Can the Lord calculate the casualties of soldiers?
"Just use this trick!"
Sun Quan immediately ordered: "After dinner at the fifth watch the next day, the three armies will march forward."
The strategy was decided, and all the officers and men took the order and left.
After leaving the camp, Lu Meng was stopped by Lu Xun.
"Grand Governor."
Lu Meng looked at Lu Xun, who had a serious look on his face, and asked, "What can Boyan teach me?"
Teach each other?
Lu Xun gave a wry smile and said, "What can I teach the Governor? It's just... I'm afraid it will be difficult to get to Hefei if we attack the city tomorrow."
Lu Meng's expression did not change and he just asked: "Why?"
"Didn't the general see it? No matter whether it was erecting walls to clear the field or looking at the defense in Hefei City, the equipment was very tight. Without siege equipment, how could the soldiers be able to enter the city with their flesh and blood?"
Even if there is only one main city left in Hefei, it may not be easy to capture it.
"Don't you know, my lord?"
Lu Meng glanced at Lu Xun meaningfully and said, "Sometimes, it is not necessary to capture Hefei. What the lord wants to see is whether we will attack or not."
Lu Meng had already figured out Sun Quan's thoughts.
He still has ideas about Hefei.
If Hefei can be captured in a short time, that would be great.
If you can't capture it, that doesn't matter.
As long as the people under his command are willing to listen to his military orders, his goal will be achieved.
And if someone among them disobeys his military orders, then Sun Quan can attack those who do not respect the military orders. By then, Jiangdong will be monolithic again.
Lu Meng patted Lu Xun's shoulder lightly and said in a deep voice: "Bo Yan, you are smarter than most people, but if you treat everyone as a fool, you would be too conceited."
As a lord, he may not be good at military strategy, but in political palace battles, there are few people in the world who can rival him.
only...
Are you going to attack the city and destroy the stronghold just because of your own selfish thoughts, wasting the lives of the soldiers in vain?
Hey~
Lu Xun sighed and shook his head slightly, with a look of reluctance on his face.
But what can Lu Xun say now?
Let's attack the city tomorrow!
...
The next day.
When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on the walls of Hefei, the Jiangdong soldiers were ready, and their determination to fight bloody battles shone in their eyes. The ladders were arranged neatly, and the tall city wall stood in front of them, like a huge barrier.
"The rats from Jiangdong have indeed come to attack the city. The covenant is just a piece of waste paper to Sun Zhongmou!"
Li Dian spat, his disdain for Sun Quan clearly evident in his words.
No hidden ones.
"Boiled with golden juice, I want to show Sun Zhongmou that Hefei is a fortified city that he cannot conquer in his lifetime!"
"promise!"
The soldiers took orders.
A large pit is dug for every ten stacks, and an iron pot is placed on the pit, and the stacker's urine and feces are poured into it.
Boil the dung water with firewood.
When attacking a city, you only need to use a spoon and bucket to pour it down, and it will penetrate the flesh and cause it to rot and hurt until death.
The enemy sprayed dung at the base of the city, or poured it down on the head, causing it to cover the whole body, and the city was slippery and could not be climbed up.
Of course, in addition to gold juice, mutton oil candles, oil, adze axes, spotted cats, flame salt, willow ashes, rolling frame pillows, cross frames, broken masonry, lime...etc., as long as it is Zhang Liao has prepared everything that can be used to defend the city.
Dong Dong Dong~
War drums sounded outside the city.
Jiangdong's soldiers carried ladders and rushed towards Hefei City.
"Come on!"
"Kill!"
...
Zhang Liao looked calm. When the bow and arrow were within shooting range, he waved his hands vigorously and shouted: "Shoot!"
Arrows were flying, and Jiangdong's soldiers had already suffered heavy losses before they even got close to the city wall.
However, in the face of the tide of Jiangdong soldiers, although the arrows were powerful, some Jiangdong soldiers still set up ladders on the city wall.
Jiangdong soldiers boarded the ladders one after another and embarked on the road of climbing.
They wore simple shields on their bodies, held sharp blades in their hands, and had only one goal in mind - to storm the city wall and win victory.
The wooden planks of the ladder creaked under their feet, as if telling the story of the difficulty and danger of siege.
"He really came here to die. This Sun Zhongmou..."
On the city wall, the Hefei garrison was standing ready, arrows flying like flying arrows, and the sound of piercing the air was endless.
The Jiangdong soldiers marched forward bravely, but every time a soldier successfully climbed onto the city wall, he was violently attacked by crossbow arrows and spears.
Their figures disappeared in the biting rain of arrows, and screams echoed throughout the battlefield.
Sun Quan watched the offensive and defensive battle from a high hill outside the city. The more he watched, the deeper his frown deepened.
"This Wenyuan is indeed a fierce general!"
Lu Xun couldn’t stand it.
"My lord, if we attack the city like this, it may be difficult to get down to the city, so we might as well withdraw our troops."
Withdraw troops?
Sun Quan shook his head.
"Attack for another hour!"
"promise!"
Even if he had other thoughts in his heart, Lu Xun had no choice but to accept the order.
An hour later, Jiangdong's soldiers under Hefei City made no substantial progress at all.
Only a few people climbed up the city wall, and more of them didn't even climb up the city wall and became a cold corpse.
Seeing that nothing could be done, Sun Quan finally gave the order.
"Call the gold and withdraw the troops."
I'll go to Jingzhou first, and then I'll meet you, Zhang Wenyuan.
When Lu Xun heard what Sun Quan said, he went straight to the army to deliver the order without stopping.
Woohoo~
Soon, the sound of ringing gold came from the Jiangdong camp.
The Jiangdong soldiers who attacked the city were relieved and retreated one after another, leaving only corpses on the ground.
Seeing this, Li Dian on the city quickly said: "General, you hold the city, I will lead the troops out of the city and take back Yangjiaocheng!"
If Yangjiao City and Wengcheng can be recaptured, it will be difficult for Sun Quan to capture them even with a hundred thousand troops!
Zhang Liao shook his head.
"Let Sun Zhongmou go and attack Jingzhou."
I, Zhang Liao, want to see, Zhongmou, can you possibly defeat Jiangling?
