The "confrontation" between Sun Quan and Chen Zhen is destined to not have a result in a short time. In fact, both sides are already prepared for this.
Everyone knew that in this battle, Sun Quan was the first to be eliminated. When Liu Chan gave his west line of defense to Cao Pi, he had no room for improvement.
And Cao Pi... still has a glimmer of hope.
"Tell Xu Huang to conquer Wancheng. He must conquer Wancheng as quickly as possible!"
Cao Pi's orders were constantly delivered to Xu Huang's hands. From the handwriting to the oral instructions, Xu Huang understood that Cao Pi was really anxious at this time even though he was not good at court affairs.
But even though he understood the urgency in Cao Pi's heart, there was nothing he could do at this time.
The city of Nawan City was indeed quite strong, and Wei Yan personally led his troops to hide in Nanyang County at this time.
If Xu Huang ignored Wancheng, he would have to surround Wancheng with a large number of soldiers and horses, and then make the team transporting grain and grass make a large circle before they could enter Cao Pi's hands.
Most of the land during this journey was already deserted, and there was an elusive Wei Yan hiding in the middle, leaving Xu Huang with no way to do anything.
Xu Huang tried many methods and attacked Wancheng like Cao Zhang. Although the siege for several days was quite effective and many Han soldiers were killed, Wancheng was still as strong as ever.
Later, Xu Huang tried to send the grain and fodder transport team to bypass Wancheng. As a result, most of the grain and fodder was cheaper for Wei Yan. Those who managed to escape were inevitably damaged by a burst of rockets from Wei Yan.
Xu Huang had no choice but to discuss with Cao Zhang. One of them besieged Wancheng, and the other tried to attack Shangyong. As a result, when they went to Shangyong, Wei Yan changed hands and attacked Cao's camp in Wancheng. Not only did he also unite with the people in the city. Deng Zhi and others launched a pincer attack from both front and back.
If Xu Huang hadn't been cautious enough, the siege of Wancheng might have been solved long ago.
Wang Ping and Ma Su also took the opportunity to enter Wancheng with more than a thousand soldiers and horses to join Liu Chan.
More than a thousand soldiers and horses could not change anything, let alone turn Wancheng out of danger, but the news they brought greatly inspired the morale and confidence of Wancheng's soldiers.
Before, they just felt that their Highness's "exhaustive plan" must have a way to break the situation, so they defended Wancheng with high morale.
But now, although they can't say they were heavy losses, they were still quite large, and their morale was already a little low. At the critical moment, Ma Di and Wang Ping arrived with reinforcements and told them that the reinforcements had entered Nanjun and that Cao Pi was about to be forced into In desperate situation.
This news once again improved the morale that had just been low, and it was directly brought to the peak.
In particular, Zhuge Liang specifically ordered that all the credit be given to Liu Chan, telling everyone that this was Liu Chan's strategy from the beginning to the end. For a time, Liu Chan, the prince of the Han Dynasty, had become a being who could save the building from falling.
It is not known how Sun Quan and Cao Pi felt when they heard the news, but after the soldiers in Wancheng heard these words, they were all so excited that they couldn't help themselves.
They all howled to follow their Highness to conquer the world and regain the Han River and Mountains...
Although there was a conspiracy between Deng Zhi and Ma Zhong during this period, Liu Chan was still very touched when he heard the crowd's shouts.
At least...
"I don't want to surrender at this time!"
"No big deal...just run away!"
When Sun Qian, who also had a look of relief on his face, heard this, his face suddenly froze with joy.
Looking at Liu Chan who was muttering to himself next to him, and then at the burly soldiers who had not heard Liu Chan's words and were still excited, Sun Qian silently tightened the rope tied around his waist.
By the way, another knot was tied....
"Your Highness!"
When the excitement of the soldiers passed, Wancheng once again turned into a solemn scene. Deng Zhi, Ma Zhong and Wang Ping arranged the defense of Wancheng in an orderly manner.
Wei Yan had fled without a trace before Cao Zhang returned in anger, setting fire to half of Cao's army's camp.
Ma Di finally found the opportunity to come to Liu Chan and bowed excitedly.
Looking at Ma Su in front of him, he thought about the news he had just received.
"Ma Su joined the army as an orphan, and Li Yan personally guarded Yidu County as the army's retreat. I was a little panicked... I was really a little panicked...
Why didn't Xiangfu know how to leave another hundred and eighty strategies for Gu?
Is it possible that there is not enough pen and ink in the army? "
Liu Chan looked at Ma Su, and he didn't know where his thoughts had gone. When Ma Su saw Liu Chan didn't speak for a long time, he thought it was Liu Chan who was thinking about Wancheng's future.
So he immediately took a step forward and whispered to Liu Chan.
"Your Highness, Wancheng is now heavily besieged by Cao's army. Xu Huang and Cao Zhang are both powerful generals of Cao's army. Among them, Xu Huang has a reputation for advancing straight into the city. He once left General Yunchang helpless.
It is said that Cao Zhang is powerful and capable of carrying a cauldron. He is actually the most powerful general in Cao Jun's clan.
The two men attacked Shangyong one after another and had trouble transporting grain and grass. Knowing that if Wancheng was not conquered, Cao Pi would have no chance of survival, so they would definitely attack Wancheng in the future.
The dangerous situation in Wancheng can be imagined.
Your Highness is the prince of the Han Dynasty, and the future of the Han Dynasty. As the saying goes, a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. If Wancheng really has three advantages and two disadvantages, wouldn't His Highness be in danger?
He is not talented and is willing to issue a military order to protect His Highness from evacuating.
Leave this Wancheng to Su to guard, and ensure that Xu Huang falls in Nanyang! "
After Ma Su finished speaking, he directly raised his head high, his expression as proud as a peacock from Jiaozhou.
Ma Su had already made preparations before coming to Wancheng. He wanted to make great achievements in Wancheng and let those who looked down on him take a good look at what a genius Ma Su was!
In recent years, he has been by Zhuge Liang's side as the younger brother of a famous scholar in Jingzhou. He has been so valued by the prime minister that he has even been appointed as the Jinzhu Ling, the Chengdu Ling, and even the Yuexi Prefect with two thousand stones!
Even the prime minister said that he was a genius, a real genius!
But such a genius was repeatedly punished and scolded by His Majesty, saying that he was too ambitious and far from grand.
Naturally, Ma Di did not dare to resist Liu Bei, nor could he refute Liu Bei. After all, when Liu Bei reprimanded him, it was when he made big mistakes.
But he had been holding back a fire in his heart and wanted to prove his fire.
Therefore, Wancheng became the battlefield in his heart. He wanted to show the world here that he, Ma Su, was worthy of the reputation of being a genius. He wanted to become the second prime minister!
No...he wants to surpass the Prime Minister!
