A lot of things can be changed in one year. Cao Mengde, a generational hero, used this short and precious time to take advantage of the chaos to take in a large number of people. Forcibly building an abandoned Runan into a majestic giant city. If future generations see this, they will definitely sigh, the infrastructure mania has been there for a long time!
"Prime Minister, Yuan Shu's forced conscription has brought chaos to Shouchun!" Cheng Yu glanced at Cao Cao and said
"Huh? Yuan Jiujiu has been here not long ago! Send an order to the ban, the army is pressing down on the border, let Liu Bei and Lu Bu join forces to kill the thieves!" Cao Cao threw away the pen in his hand and spoke with murderous intent.
"Lu Bu has no problem, I'm afraid Liu Bei won't be so obedient!" Xun Yu said. As Boss Cao's chief steward, Xun Yu still has a very strong say!
"Liu Bei and Liu Xuande! What a tiger and wolf!" When Cao Cao mentioned Liu Bei, his face was full of helplessness. He didn't expect that he would take advantage of it and not only get Xuzhou, but also become a relative of the emperor. This made people very unhappy. , Liu Bei’s ambition can be said to be known to everyone, but it’s just bad luck!
"Why don't we drive the tiger to devour the wolf, let Liu Bei and Lu Bu deal with Ji Ling, and my army will attack the western front! And I promised Liu Bei, Lu Bu and others that whoever takes the lead in the city will get Shouchun City!" Cheng Yu said
"Okay! Haha" Cao Cao laughed. This Cheng Yu is worthy of being slaughtered by people, and he used a complete conspiracy. What Liu Bei lacks most is territory and food, and Yuan Shu's Shouchun can perfectly solve this problem. As for Lu Bu, I believe few people will really take him seriously!
"What is Cheng Feng in Hefei doing? It makes people feel uneasy if they don't mobilize their troops for such a long time!" Cao Cao asked after laughing.
"We are still building Hefei and constantly summoning nearby refugees. However, one thing is strange. Cheng Feng did not mobilize troops and horses, but still led more than 10,000 people to garrison. If there really was a fight, would he be interested in Shou? Didn't you think about Chun?" Xun Yu was a little confused. He always felt that Cheng Feng was a mysterious man, and he couldn't understand his thoughts at all!
"Hmph, this man is so scheming, I'm afraid he's harboring some bad ideas!" Cheng Yu said. He suffered a lot at Cheng Feng's hands, but he didn't have a good impression of Cheng Feng at all!
"Send more people to keep an eye on him, Yuan Shu is a fat man, I believe no one will be interested!" Cao Cao had a headache, this Cheng Feng was so irregular in his work!
"promise!"
Hefei City, Cheng Feng can finally relax a bit. After a year of construction, the overall appearance has been roughly formed. Looking at the sketch in his hand, Cheng Feng showed an aunt's smile on his face!
"Haha, congratulations, lord!" Guo Jia laughed
"Oh? Fengxiao is here. What happy event is this?" Cheng Feng said
"The food and grass have arrived!" Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Oh? Who sent the food and grass this time?" Cheng Feng said in surprise. He is currently using people under his command, even if it is a third-rate general who is a scrap, just to be able to defend the city for no other reason!
"Guess?" Guo Jia laughed.
"A student in the college?" Cheng Feng asked
"The enemy!"
"Could it be Ma Zhong?" Cheng Feng said excitedly as if he remembered something.
"My lord is wise!" Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Quick! Bring him here!"
"Meet my lord!" Ma Zhong couldn't help but feel excited. It seems that his performance last time should be good!
"Good boy, not bad, haha" Cheng Feng laughed, "Get up quickly, you have worked hard on this journey!"
"Thanks to Lord Hongfu, this journey will be safe!" Ma Zhong said excitedly
"Since you're here, then follow me and practice. You will only realize what you see on paper but you must do it in earnest!" Cheng Feng said
"Thank you, my lord!"
"Okay, you go to hand over the food and grass first, and then get familiar with Hefei's affairs. When you understand it well, come back to me!" Cheng Feng said
"Yes!" Ma Zhong was very excited. It was really relaxed here as his lord, there were not so many rules!
"Fengxiao! It seems the time has come!" Cheng Feng's eyes sparkled, and his tone couldn't help but be filled with murderous intent!
"It's just that our troops are a bit short. Excluding the men and horses defending the city, we can mobilize about seven thousand at most!" Guo Jia was a little helpless. The defense of the city must have been at least three thousand men. Now he regrets not letting Ma Zhong bring the men and horses. !
"Haha! We are not here to attack the city and capture the territory. One Hefei is enough. As for Yuan Shu's territory, let them fight for it. We only need people!" Cheng Feng sneered.
"My lord is still wise, let go of a piece of fat and let all the masters in the world come to the urn!" Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's take good defense and wait for Liu Bei to break his life!" Cheng Feng said with a smile.
"Oh? Why did Liu Bei lose Shouchun?" Guo Jia was stunned and couldn't help but asked curiously, because Boss Cao was the most powerful among this group of people, so he should be the one who got Shouchun!
"Haha, Buddha said, don't say it!" Cheng Feng said with a smile.
"Brother! Cao Cao has increased his troops again?" Zhang Fei couldn't help but frowned in Liu Bei's camp under Shouchun City.
"Oh? How many people are here?" Liu Bei raised his eyebrows and asked casually, but his trembling hands showed that he was actually quite panicked!
"Xiahou Dun's fifty thousand Qingzhou soldiers!" Zhang Fei said bitterly
"Okay! It's easy to deal with this idiot Xiahou Dun!" Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the general was Xiahou Dun. He had never won a battle and had never stopped internal fighting. He was much easier to deal with than Yu Jin. Got it!
"Send the order and inform Lu Bu to attack the city the day after tomorrow!" Liu Bei said with a smile.
"Brother! Are you being careless?" Guan Yu couldn't help but ask. After all, everyone knows the purpose of Xiahou Dun's coming. This kid is here to pick peaches!
"The arrow is on the string and has to be fired. Everyone else has a reason to hold it back, but we can't hold it back. This is the conspiracy of Cao Cao and Cheng Feng!" Liu Bei said helplessly, and at the same time he kept complaining in his heart, his own Why is life so hard!
"Will Lu Bu delay mentioning it?" Zhang Fei was a little worried. After all, the three surnamed slaves were not in vain!
"No! Lu Bu lacks food and grass even more than we do!" Liu Bei smiled confidently.
"This, even if we capture Shouchun, how will we deal with Cao Cao's army?" Guan Yu frowned and said,
"I have sent people to contact Liu Biao. When we take Shouchun, he will raise troops to attack Xuchang. Cao Cao will never trade Xuchang for Shouchun! And Lu Bu will not get a lot of food and grass by then. Peace of mind, Cao Cao's desire to annex Xuzhou. We don't need to remind Lu Bu!" Liu Bei said confidently, and now he is back to his original appearance!
"Everything is done according to the eldest brother's orders!" Guan and Zhang were still a little worried, but seeing how confident their eldest brother was, they couldn't say much!
The old master was carrying a lantern pole, standing on a mound, looking at the surging river, and couldn't help but sigh, uncle, time flies so fast, I should just keep busy in black and white! Two days passed by in a flash. Liu Bei and Lu Bu directly brought all their belongings to the battlefield. They saw a mass of black heads outside Shouchun City, giving people a depressing atmosphere!
"Ji Ling! I advise you to be a human being and surrender as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will destroy your manuscript!" Mr. Zhang immediately started trolling mode!
"You bastard, you're just a pig butcher, and you dare to attack our capital, Dacheng. Who gave you the courage?" Ji Ling was furious, but he was stupid, so he could only express it with a grunt, just like those who couldn't do it in later generations. When people see a girl, they can only stiffen slightly to show respect!
"Hmph! You dare to go out of the city and fight me to the death!" Zhang Fei said with a smile. Ji Ling was originally stationed at the pass outside Shouchun City, but after a year of attacks, he had lost all strategic locations and could only retreat to the city. Now he has really become a caged bird, unable to escape even if he has wings!
"Who do you think you are? How can my majestic general be as knowledgeable as a butcher like you!" Ji Ling said. After hearing this, everyone's lips twitched. This guy is definitely a coward!
"Attack the city!" Zhang Fei was furious, but he couldn't find a suitable way, so he could only mobilize his troops angrily!
As time progressed, the coalition forces of Liu Bei and Lu Bu began to attack the city wall, and the ladder catapults also began to be used, and the atmosphere suddenly increased!
"Fire the arrow!" Ji Ling roared, and when he saw the right moment, he shot an arrow through the heart, directly piercing the soldiers pushing the siege truck through five people. Everyone knows that Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici and others are sharpshooters. But Ji Ling is also a rare master!
Arrows were coming like rain. Shouchun had nothing but supplies and people. Yuan Shu frantically pulled everyone to defend the city. All the supplies were used for military purposes. Even in conventional warfare, he could still fight three or five times. Year!
"Did you see that? The coalition forces are humans too, and they will die!" Looking at the fallen soldiers one by one, Ji Ling laughed and loudly encouraged morale!
"Siege the city! Fight in!" Liu Bei's eyes turned red instantly. This was the most troops he had brought with him, and it was also his capital to rule the world in the future. He couldn't just leave it here! Liu Bei waved his swords and galloped back and forth on his horse, wanting to chop Ji Ling alive!
"Young Er Ji Ling, you dare to fight!" Lu Bu laughed and saw Liu Bei's men falling one by one, Lu Bu felt so happy!
"Slave with the third surname, you are not worthy of fighting with me!" Ji Ling was also strong and pushed back. The uncle has been beaten to the door of his house, why are you pretending to be a saint!
"Huh!" Lu Bu frowned, and his murderous intent came up. The guards around him clearly felt that the temperature had dropped a lot, and some even shuddered!
"My lord, there is no need to be angry. Just let Liu Bei explore the way first!" Chen Gong saw that Lu Bu was about to get angry and quickly spoke to stop him.
"Hmph! Let him, the little thief Ji Ling, be rampant first!" Lu Bu said coldly
"Give me the rolling wood, thunder, stone, golden juice and jade liquid!" Ji Ling laughed. With about the same number of troops, it was really easy to defend the city. Materials could be made at will. Ji Ling almost wanted to take a nap. After Shouchun's own transformation, the moat alone was 30 feet wide, a full 90 meters. Crossing the river was a problem, and the city wall was more than 30 meters high. He himself felt that it was a livestock city and could not be broken. !
"Brother, you can't get in like this!" Guan Yu blushed even more anxiously.
"Send someone to release the water in the moat!" Liu Bei said.
"This takes time!"
"No matter how long it takes, you have to go to me."
"yes!"
"Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows for me!" Liu Bei was furious. Seeing Lu Bu's indifference, he became even more furious, but he didn't dare to trouble Lu Bu!
"Hmph! If you are poor, you can use tactics, and if you are rich, you can cover it with firepower! Cheng Feng is right, this is the first time I have fought such a rich battle!" Ji Ling looked at Liu Bei's rage and felt as if he had eaten honey!
"Beat me hard, don't be stingy with supplies, Liu Bei only has a few people, and they will be gone after the beating. Shoot them to death!" Ji Ling laughed crazily, looking at the corpses in the moat, how happy he was!
"General, has the kerosene flowed into the moat?" A guard suddenly ran over and said
"Huh? Light the fire, and give him the ice and fire first." Ji Ling seemed to have remembered something, and said mysteriously.
"Ah~" screams resounded through the sky. Many injured soldiers had a chance to survive, but now they became roast suckling pigs!
"You bastard! This Ji Ling deserves to die!" Liu Bei's eyes revealed a cannibalistic look, and his hatred for Ji Ling reached its peak in an instant!
"Brother, it will take three days to dig the moat, and Shouchun's siege engines can hit us! Will this cause heavy casualties?" Guan Yu couldn't help but said, his three-foot-long beard kept shaking, and his face was confused. It became more rosy, and Zhang Fei stood tall and straight!
"Pause the attack!" Liu Bei looked at the sea of fire in front of him. He really had no way to attack it. Ji Ling was using all these tricks to put himself at the best attack point. The thirty-foot moat was like an animal. Defend!
"How much did the army lose?"
"More than five thousand people"
"It's only been half a day!" Zhang Fei was so distressed that he almost cried.
"Brother, even if we divert the water away, it won't be easy for us to attack the city!" Guan Yu had a headache. Why was it so difficult to fight on his side?
"Can you trick the city gate into opening?" Zhang Fei's mind twitched and he asked an embarrassing question, but when he saw Liu Bei and Liu Bei looking at him like idiots, his big black face instantly turned purple!
"Pretend I didn't ask!" Zhang Fei couldn't help but say, he could dig out Shouchun City with his embarrassed toes!
"The third brother's idea is good, but we have no room for maneuver!" Liu Bei also sighed. He had sent some people to sneak into Shouchun early, but they were lost in the sea and there was no news!
"Why don't you ask Lu Bu? Isn't he just watching from the side?" Zhang Fei glanced at the leisurely Lu Fengxian and said
"What's the use of asking him?" Guan Yu was speechless.
"That's right!" Zhang Fei chuckled. Lu Bu frowned in the distance and was a little confused. Why did he feel his anus tightening? Is someone plotting against him?
"Mingjin withdraws the troops!" Liu Bei said
"Haha! Trash is indeed trash, and this Liu Bei is a pure trash!" Ji Ling was overjoyed, "Go and tell His Majesty the good news that Liu Bei has withdrawn his troops!"
"promise!"
"Lord, Liu Bei's army retreats, what should we do?" Gao Shun watched Liu Bei's army retreat and asked Lu Bu quietly.
"Retreat! There are many people who have been taken advantage of, and we are not short of retaliation. What we need is food and grass, and be careful with Cao Mengde. This guy is not giving up on Xuzhou. Chen Gongtai sent people to find out the news, and Cao Cao sent Xia Houyuan to lead his troops eastward from Xuchang. , it seems that the person who came here is not kind!" Lu Bu said calmly.
"Xia Houyuan is nothing to be afraid of!" Gao Shun has his own arrogance
"I'm afraid that Shouchun City is just a cover for Cao Cao to secretly attack Chencang!" Lu Bu was a little worried. This was the reason why he didn't dare to attack Shouchun with all his strength. He just lacked the food and fodder for the battle, and he didn't have to go to Shouchun. This time The most important thing when coming here is to take the opportunity to kill Liu Bei and Cao Cao's effective forces. Only in this way can you stay in Xuzhou for a long time!
The two armies entered a strange quiet zone. Ji Ling continued to prepare supplies for defending the city. He collected all the things that could be used under the city and let them shine with new glory. As for Liu Bei, he was doing his best. Doing soil work!
"General, Yu Jin's army is pressing down on the border!" Ji Ling had just been in a good mood, but was broken by his own soldiers.
"Little Yu Jin is not worth mentioning! Just let the army defend the city. Our defense is unparalleled in the world!" Ji Ling was tired for most of the day, but he didn't take Yu Jin seriously.
"The tiger and leopard cavalry attack, intercept the moat for me!" Yu Jin looked at Shouchun's defense and said
"General, is the interception divided into two sections?"
"On the side far away from the city wall, increase the height for me. It can be as high as three feet. How did Chengfeng's cavalry defeat the Yellow Turban Army back then? Let's do it today!" Yu Jin said, but when he mentioned Chengfeng's name, There are little stars in the eyes!
"Understood!" Cao Chun chuckled. These people are all very familiar with Cheng Feng's classic case!
"Your Majesty! Xia Houyuan has left the city, and Cao Cao's strength has weakened!" At this time, far away in the palace in Xuchang, Emperor Xian Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was visiting Zhuangzi for a leisurely trip. Hearing the words of his uncle Dong Cheng, he couldn't help but take action. Shiver!
"It's a pity that we don't have enough strength. We can't take Cao Cao's base camp at all!" Liu Xiedao
"Your Majesty, don't worry. As long as your Majesty issues an edict, I will definitely contact the loyal ministers and good generals of the Han Dynasty to help the country!" Dong Cheng was lying here with snot and tears, and Liu Xie frowned at it!
"Kuangfu Sheji? Loyal ministers and good generals? I wonder if my uncle has found a candidate?" Liu Xie asked with some interest.
"Zhong Ji, Wu Shuo, Wang Zifu, and Wu Zilan have been suffering from Cao Cao for a long time. They often complain about Cao Cao. They are on good terms with his ministers and can use them. Each of these four has thousands of private soldiers. Together with Xu Huang's command, they can Use! As for foreign aid, Liu Bei and Liu Huangshu are wise and powerful. Now they are leading an army to attack Shouchun. Once Shouchun is captured and Yuan Shu is defeated, we can take action. At that time, the emperor will lead his troops outside and jointly greet Lu Bu. Defeating the Cao thieves will be just around the corner!" Dong Chengyue! The more excited you say!
"Okay! Aiqing can make your own arrangements, I'm waiting for your good news!" Liu Xie said with a smile, and when he said this, he just wrote that he skyrocketed to ninety thousand miles!
"I ask your Majesty to give me an edict!" Dong Cheng is not stupid. If he had no inclination, this baby might just sell him. After all, the reputation of the old Liu family is not very good. Starting from the ancestor Liu Bang , he is a complete scoundrel and gangster!
"Okay!" After Liu Xie said this, he took up a pen and wrote the edict with his own blood, ordered Concubine Dong Guifei to sew it into her belt, and then gave it to Dong Cheng!
"My dear, you must be careful. The traitor Cao has many eyes and ears. I hope my dear will act with caution!" Liu Xie ordered, and he was also beating drums in his heart. As for saying it was a success, it was simply nonsense. If it didn't implicate himself, it would be Amitabha!
"I resign!" Dong Cheng said excitedly, now he can let go!
