"Drive! Hurry up! Hurry up!" On the official road leading to Xuzhou, a group of people were galloping fast. At first glance, this group of people looked like people who had been baptized by the battlefield. Everyone was a strong man, with hands The calluses give people a heavy feeling!
"General, why are you so panicked?" One of the guards couldn't figure out why his general was so desperate when his lord didn't like him!
"Cao Cao has captured Runan, and Yuan Shu's end is coming. We must rush to our lord as soon as possible, otherwise we will not be able to capture Huainan!" said the leading general!
"General Gao, I'm not telling you. My lord doesn't trust you at all. Why do you still act like this? We can all see it. Why doesn't the general understand?" the guard said angrily.
"Haha, how can I, Gao Shun, not repay his kindness? My lord saved my life!" said the leading general. It turns out that this person is the famous Gao Shun. Needless to say, the people behind him are the famous trap. Camp!
"General Gaoyi!" the soldier said, but he sighed heavily in his heart!
"Tell brothers to work harder. Let's rush to Xuzhou as soon as possible. We can't let Liu Da'er take the advantage!" Gao Shun said.
While Gao Shun was running to Xuzhou, Chengfeng also began to prepare for full development in Hefei. First, he stabilized the nearby refugees. As long as there was land, food and houses, the people could still be satisfied easily. As for Only a small number of people want to go back to their hometowns. After all, we are in a war-torn era, so what kind of bicycles do we need?
"Wu Tiangang, go and check the food and fodder for me. This is the top priority. There can't be any mistakes!" Cheng Feng instructed.
"Yes! Lord!" Wu Tiangang said
"Fengxiao, the reconstruction of Hefei depends on you. It will take some time for General Wenyuan to arrive!" Cheng Feng said
"Don't worry, my lord, Hefei is still very manageable today!" Guo Jia said with a smile.
"I don't want to simply govern. I want to build Hefei into a war fortress. This will be the door for me to enter Soochow in the future!" Cheng Feng looked at Guo Jia's indifferent expression, and his head began to hurt. This kid is good at everything. , I just don’t care much about anything!
"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely not let Cao Mengde snatch him away!" Guo Jia said with a smile, which made Cheng Feng really want to smack his face with the sole of his shoe!
"Alas! I don't know how Zilong is doing now!"
"We're training. Zhao Zilong is a tiger general. He won't simply be stationed in Bingzhou. Maybe he can give us a surprise!" Guo Jia took a sip of wine and said with a smile,
"I hope so. What I hope most now is that Liu Bei and Lu Bu can sincerely join forces, so that they can defeat Yuan Shu!" Cheng Feng frowned and said. Now he felt that it was not easy. After leaving the base camp, everything was gone. To ensure protection, you have to think carefully about everything you do, otherwise you will be doomed if you make one wrong move!
"Haha, let's deal with Hefei first! I'm going to count the refugees, and my lord should just go and move bricks to build the city wall!" Guo Jia laughed. Since he followed Cheng Feng, he also learned a lot of new terms. !
"Your uncle!" Cheng Feng couldn't help but cursed and made an international gesture to Guo Jia's back! Then he led the army into intense construction work. Although Hefei went through a war, the losses were not big. It was originally the place where Yuan Shu kept food and grass, and the materials were very rich. As long as there is time, it is not too difficult to turn it into a giant city. !
"Brother! Cao Cao captured Runan!" Outside Xuzhou City, Liu Bei was practicing his echoing sword skills. When he heard Guan Yu's words, his hands suddenly shook!
"When did it happen? How could Cao Cao occupy Runan so quickly, and we haven't conquered Shouchun yet?" Liu Bei was shocked!
"Three days ago, Cao Cao and Cheng Feng joined forces and each took a city. Cheng Feng captured Hefei and Cao Cao occupied Runan. Now Yuan Shu only has two important cities, Lujiang and Shouchun!" Guan Yu said excitedly!
"Quick! Go to the main account to discuss the matter!" Liu Bei didn't bother to wipe his sweat and said quickly,
Liu Bei couldn't help but have a headache when he saw the Mi brothers under his command, looking at Jian Yong. These people were far worse than those under other princes!
"What do you think of the current situation?" Liu Bei said. No matter how much he looks down on these people, he can't say anything. After all, these are the only people he has under his command now!
"Join Lu Bu and open up Shouchun, otherwise Yuan Shu's territory will be taken over by Cao Cao!" Mi Fang said carelessly.
"Not bad, not bad!" Jian Yong said with a smile, "It's just that Cao Cao still needs to attack Yuan Shu from the west. Only in this way can Yuan Shu divide his troops and give us reasonable attack options!"
"Join Lu Bu?" Zhang Fei frowned. Although he knew that this was the fastest way to solve the problem, he just wasn't interested in Lu Bu!
"Three generals, don't be angry. Lu Bu has strong soldiers and horses. Only with his strength can we capture Shouchun. In addition, we can also take the opportunity to consume Lu Bu and Cao Cao's troops and give us a chance to develop!" Jian Yong said
"Yeah! That's a good idea! But who wants to go to Lu Bu's camp?" Liu Bei nodded.
"I'd better go!" Guan Yu saw Liu Bei staring at him and had no choice but to say,
"Okay! Then please trouble my second brother!" Liu Bei was overjoyed.
"Big brother and second brother, I have a different idea!" Zhang Fei suddenly said
"Oh? What can third brother do?" Liu Bei said with a smile. He also didn't want to see Lu Bu. After all, Lu Bu had robbed him of Xuzhou!
"Can we pretend to be Runan's defeated troops, then trick them into opening the city gate and seize the opportunity to capture Shouchun?" Zhang Fei said.
"Difficult! It's too difficult! Shouchun is Yuan Shu's base camp, and Ji Ling is in charge. I'm afraid it's not that easy to deceive. Now that Shouchun has strong walls and clear fields, how can we appear in the west of Shouchun, not to mention that we don't have enough troops!" Guan Yu thought for a while and said slowly
"The only option is to borrow Lu Bu's troops!" Zhang Fei said bitterly.
"Third brother, there is no need to be angry. You and Lu Bu are just fighting for loyalty. Although Lu Bu is brave, he does not understand military strategy. Compared with the third brother, there is a big gap!" Guan Yu comforted him!
"Alas! That's it! Second brother, you don't need to persuade me with nice words! You have to bow your head when you are under the eaves!" Zhang Fei said with a bitter smile.
"Second brother, let me accompany my eldest brother to Lu Bu's camp! I'm not as good as you in marching and setting up formations, but in communicating with Lu Bu, my role will be greater!" Zhang Fei said with a smile.
"Haha! Okay! Just Yide and I will go!" Liu Bei was overjoyed
Not to mention what happened to Liu Bei, after Lu Bu got the news about Gao Shun, he was also tossing and turning. Although he had a lot of soldiers and horses, the people's hearts were not unified. Although he had robbed Liu Da'er of Xuzhou, the people's hearts and minds were also lost a lot. After he had established a foothold in Xuzhou, Yuan Shu came to attack him, leaving him no preparation at all! In Lu Bu's heart, Liu Bei is the big enemy. As long as Yuan Shu and others are there, Lu Bu is relatively relieved. But just now, Chen Gui and his son, including Chen Gong, came to persuade him and Liu Bei to join forces to attack Yuan Shu. This made him feel worried. Very unhappy!
"Gao Shun, do you have a good way to defeat the enemy?" Lu Bu looked at Gao Shun and asked. He also knew that Gao Shun was really loyal to him, but this Gao Shun was too down-to-earth and didn't know how to observe people's emotions and couldn't adapt at all. , often making it difficult for him to get off the stage, so Lu Bu didn't like him in his heart.
"My lord can join forces with Liu Bei to attack Yuan Shu together. After Shouchun is defeated, then attack Liu Bei. In this way, we can capture the entire Xuzhou!" Gao Shun thought for a while and said
"The whole of Xuzhou? Do you mean that I don't have a share in Huainan?" Lu Bu frowned, a little unhappy!
"Yes! Huainan is rich and a battleground for military strategists. If Yuan Shu can't hold it, it will be a disaster for us to take it. If the troops are divided, the lord does not have a general who can take charge alone. If the troops are not divided, Huainan may change hands! Now Cao Cao Sun Jiancheng The feudal lords are eyeing each other, but they all want to preserve their strength, so they will give us the opportunity to attack Shouchun! Liu Bei is ambitious and has never forgotten Xuzhou. If he can capture the land of Huainan, the lord can give it to Liu Bei. Compared with Xuzhou, Huainan is more attractive! Gao Shun said expressionlessly.
"This! Can you keep it?" Lu Bu asked
"Can't hold it! Although the trapped camp is invincible, the number of people is too small. It's okay to stick to one city, but it is powerless to defend Yangzhou. In addition, the other princes are far more afraid of Liu Bei than the lord, so the lord can take Liu Bei Quit as a shield!" Gao Shundao
"You... uncle," Lu Bu couldn't help but cursed in his heart. You, this guy, almost cursed me in person!
"Okay! If that's the case, then join forces with Liu Bei and prepare to attack Shouchun!" Lu Bu said
Before Liu Bei arrived at Lu Bu's camp, he bumped into Lu Bu who was walking towards him. The two hit it off immediately and went back to prepare, just waiting for a suitable opportunity!
In Shouchun City, Yuan Shu was still having fun and drinking, not caring that his territory was occupied by others!
"Your Majesty, if Runan falls into Cao Cao's hands, I'm afraid he will attack Shouchun soon!" Ji Ling said.
"I can rest assured that Shouchun has you!" Yuan Shu said with a smile while enjoying the concubine's service.
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your favor!" Ji Ling couldn't help but burst into tears. What does trust mean? This is how much heart you have. Even when the enemy is about to attack the city, his master still believes in him so much. Ji Ling secretly made up his mind to do it. Protect Yuan Shu!
"Liu Bei and Lu Bu will definitely take action, as well as Sun Ce from Jiangdong. They are not stable leaders. Is there no news from Lujiang?" Yuan Shu said calmly.
"No, Shouchun is now under siege and has been cut off from the outside world. Even the many soldiers who escaped can't enter the city!" Ji Lingdao
"Then treat them all as a fall. Now we only have one Shouchun! Ji Ling, Lu Bu are brave and cannot be dealt with by one person. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are also brave and unusual, so we can't fight head-on now. We must If we hold on to the city and survive until winter, we will win. How much food and grass are there in the city now?" Yuan Shu said as he started to do it.
"We have a lot of gold, silver and jewels, and enough food and grass to last for five years, but we don't have many soldiers! We can't help the consumption of Lu Bu and others!" Ji Ling felt helpless.
"It doesn't matter! We have plenty of food and grass. You can send five thousand people out to clear the fields for me. Don't fight with Liu Bei and others. Just burn the trees outside the city and destroy the crops!" Yuan Shu said
"It's your Majesty!"
"Also, Runan has been lost. Based on my understanding of Cao Mengde, he will definitely stand still. This is our opportunity. In addition, Chengfeng captures Hefei and is far away from Jizhou. You send someone to deliver the imperial seal to the eldest son. , let him raise troops to attack Liaodong, so that Chengfeng can be restrained, and the Sun family cannot defeat him!" Yuan Shu pointed out Jiangshan Road, allowing Ji Ling and others to see the high-spirited direct descendant of the Yuan family, the fourth generation and the third prince. The heir of!
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Ji Ling said excitedly
"Go! The days of stability are numbered! Take care of yourself!" Yuan Shu said
"I resign!" Ji Ling was moved!
"Hurry up! You guys go over and light up Liu Bei's military camp. Remember, don't worry about how much you burn, as long as you can light a fire!" Outside Liu Bei's military camp, a man who looked like a corps commander whispered.
"Yes!" Then I saw dozens of people sneaking into Liu Bei's camp under the cover of night!
"It's on fire! Put out the fire quickly!" A sudden shout woke up Liu Bei from his sleep!
"What's going on?" Liu Bei was a little confused. He had just discussed with Lu Bu how to defeat Yuan Shu, but his backyard was on fire!
"Lord! Someone has sneaked into the camp!" Sun Qian happened to come to Liu Bei and quickly spoke.
"Go and put out the fire quickly. Let Yide take people to look around. The person who set the fire must not be far away! And let Yun Chang take care of the food and grass!" Liu Bei didn't have time to put on his armor, so he walked out with his male and female swords.
"It's the lord!" Sun Qian ran out quickly!
"Evacuate!" Far away from the camp, a group of people quietly disappeared into the depths of the night!
"Fire arrows!" Ji Ling shouted, and as the voice fell, a hail of arrows were fired from the city. Although Yuan Shu's army was not as good as Cheng Feng's troops in combat effectiveness, it was almost the same as Lu Bu's army. In addition, they were defending the city. , there are plenty of bows and arrows, making it much easier to shoot!
"Don't retreat! Kill them!" When he saw the people being pulled off, Lu Bu was so angry that he yelled and even killed several people on the spot with Fang Tian's painted halberd. However, the result was of no use and it still couldn't change the chaos of the army!
"Haha, you still fly General Lu Bu, fly one for me! Come on!" A soldier on the top of the city was actively taunting Lu Bu!
"I'm so angry!" Lu Bu was furious. He was already angry when the siege failed, but he was ridiculed by a soldier, which just made him even more angry!
"Go!" Lu Bu fired his bow and fired an arrow, and then heard a scream. Looking at the top of the city, the soldier who was full of taunts just now was nailed to the city tower by Lu Bu's arrow. He could not die anymore. !
"Marquis Wen is mighty!" Gao Shun's subordinates immediately arranged for Lu Bu to be trapped in the camp, shouting loudly to Lu Bu!
"Huh! I don't see how you can defeat the soldiers of my city!" Ji Ling was also shocked and quickly wiped the cold sweat on his head. He didn't want to be shot by Lu Bu like a rabbit. After all, he shot the halberd at the gate. It hasn’t been long!
"Just try your best to kill the Xuzhou soldiers. I want to see if Lu Bu's men are also so stubborn!" Ji Ling sneered.
Seeing his soldiers fall one after another, Lu Bu was also extremely anxious, but he had no good way to solve it!
"Gao Shun! Is it possible to attack the city if we fall into the camp?"
"The ambition to be trapped in the enemy's battlefield is only about death but not life!" Gao Shun said firmly,
"..." This sentence almost shocked Lu Bu to death. Sir, I want you to capture the city, not to let you die. Your answer is simply scolding me! Lu Bu weakly slapped Gao Shun, and almost got angry!
"Is there any clever plan for the palace?" Lu Bu asked unwillingly. He had divided the work with Liu Bei, and he was carrying it in front. Liu Bei, as a surprise soldier, was ready to take action at any time!
"There is nothing we can do! Shouchun City is like an iron barrel. It is rich in materials and has sufficient troops. I am afraid we will have to fight a protracted war!" Chen Gong frowned and said. Only now did he realize that Yuan Shu's rogue style of play was a perfect countermeasure to this so-called art of war! No matter what method you use, I will stay on the Diaoyutai!
"Why was Cheng Feng able to capture Hefei so quickly?" Lu Bu punched the air next to him bitterly, as if Cheng Feng was right beside him!
"Cheng Feng has many conspiracies and tricks, but the most important thing is his strong strength. He has many spies under him who have infiltrated all the princes. The most feared thing for any strong fortress is a breakthrough from within!" Chen Gong said helplessly, now He really admired Cheng Feng. This man thought too far. It was really scary. When you think about it, your most trusted soldier turned out to be someone planted by someone else. He stabbed you while you were sleeping. It was scary to think about it. fear!
"Can you divert water to attack the city?" Lu Bu asked. He didn't have that many tricks at any time, but he still knew the basic water attack and fire attack!
"Autumn is coming soon. The amount of water is getting smaller and there is less rain. Shouchun city wall is very tall. I am afraid that a water attack will not be able to break the city," Chen Gong said.
"Oh! God won't help me! I'm blocked under the city gate and can't get through!" Lu Bu had no choice but to retreat, making Ji Ling on the top of the city laugh. The laughter was like a slap in the face. It hit Lu Bu in the face!
What made Lu Bu even more depressed was that his frontal attack was unfavorable, and Liu Bei's camp was unexpectedly attacked by someone. Although the loss was not big, it was disgusting! This is just like playing games later. Lu Bu's top laner has all kinds of economic advantages, but he can't clear the line of troops or retreat from the tower. He is counting on the jungler Liu Bei to help, but he is frequently countered by others!
"Strengthen the alert, recruit refugees quickly, and take advantage of the opportunity to expand the army!" Liu Bei is already numb to failure. Since he started his army, it can be said that he has suffered repeated defeats. Fortunately, he has a good mentality!
"Brother, with our development, the combat effectiveness of our troops cannot keep up!" Guan Yu said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter! The more people, the better. Only in this way can we force Cao Cao to take action, and only in this way can we get more territory when we carve up Yangzhou! As for Lu Bu's promise to conquer Yangzhou for us, do you believe it?" Liu Bei sneered.
"Hmph! How could Lu Bu be ambitious enough to promote Xuzhou for us? He didn't take a fancy to my second brother and my fighting prowess. He took us with him because he was afraid that we would take the opportunity to capture Xuzhou!" Zhang Feidao said
"Yes, but we can't be too careless. Last time was a lesson. We can't let Yuan Shu's people sneak over again!" Liu Bei said.
"Brother, since Yuan Shu's people can sneak over, can we also sneak into them? If we can sneak into the city, then we have an internal response!" Guan Yu said
"That's right! Go and make arrangements quickly! You must choose someone you can trust!" Liu Bei was overjoyed!
