Pang Tong and Xu Shu nodded in agreement on the side, and Huang Zhong's eyes lit up: "So, Xiao Taishou has already decided? When will the city be officially attacked?"

Kou Yan smiled heartily with Pang Tong and Xu Shu, and knew that the old man had come to say a lot of words, and the ultimate goal was to ask this, when will the city be attacked.

"I'm embarrassed to answer you almost every day when you come to ask, so let's let our future military advisor, my senior brother Mr. Pang, answer your questions for me!" Kou Yan deliberately added the word "future" in front of the military advisor, and solemnly recommended.

Pang Tong, who was recommended, didn't expect Kou Yan to come to this trick, he was stunned, and coughed lightly before saying: "That's the case, the news from Changsha, the first batch of five catapults and installation technicians have been loaded onto the ship, and the stones used have been disguised as grain and grass to be transported, and now they are in the special training ground of the other department." There are still ten days and a half months left in this battle at most, General Huang, I have been waiting for so long, and it is not bad to wait for another half a month. ”

"Is this true?" Huang Zhong was excited.

"There is no joke in the army. Pang Tong reassured Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong looked at Kou Yan and then at Xu Shu, and when he saw that both of them nodded, his face was suddenly full of red light: "Okay! Old man, let them practice! Fully prepared, fight for the first siege of the city to make Cao Ren's heart panic!"

Huang Zhong didn't say a word, and strode away. Kou Yan looked at his back. He smiled bitterly: "Actually, it's not me urging Senior Brother Jiang, it's really General Huang urging me! If I can't fight again, I won't be able to find the connection!"

"Don't worry! The military situation changes three times a day, and Gong Yan knows it in his heart. Xu Shu said.

"Well, go back and let Jun Zheng also give him a great credit, stabilize the rear, and have enough soldiers and enough food, he is a great hero!" Kou Yan nodded, noted down Jiang Wan's benefits in his heart, and then excitedly said: "If I can take Xiangyang this time." I'm going to ask Mr. Shui Jing to recommend me a few more helpers. I want to learn from Cao Thief, set up a recruitment list, and recruit talents!"

"When you take Xiangyang, you will definitely become famous. There must be a lot of people who will come to you. Xu Shu affirmed Kou Yan's thoughts.

"Fame or something. I don't count on it anymore. I have to find a few people to share the affairs of you and Senior Brother Jiang, lest one or two of them be exhausted by me. Kou Yan said seriously: "I haven't been in Changsha for so long, Senior Brother Pang must be too busy to touch the ground." ”

"Yan'er. Your subordinates are busy, which means that your power is full of vitality, and there are many things that you can't finish, but in fact, you don't always have to worry about the lack of people. Guiyang, Lingling, the Taishou of these two places, it's time to change and replace Yin Ji and Chen Zhen into the upper echelons, so that they can not only give full play to their abilities, but also reduce Gongyan's burden, isn't it?"

"Well, the teacher said that morality is reasonable, in fact, I have already thought about Chen Zhen, he is the next Changsha Taishou. And Yin Ji, being Senior Brother Jiang's deputy is actually really good. Kou Yan heard Xu Shu mention these two people, and he also nodded frequently. However, she changed her words and laughed again: "There are not too many talents." Besides, I'm just a little girl, how can I do it without the help of many people? Therefore, this recruitment list must be erected, and it will stand in the center of Xiangyang City, and it will be eye-catching!"

Xu Shu and Pang Tong were speechless, and the apprentice (junior sister) was so eager to think of a play. The matter of Pang Tong's appearance on the stage has not yet been settled, so he is thinking about the recruitment list. It's really eating what is in the bowl and thinking about what is in the pot, greedy!

But then again, Kou Yan is not wrong! Who would have too many talents? The desire for talent and territory has already reflected the domineering nature in her heart, and if this domineering and persistent nature is in a man, isn't it the true character of a hero! The disciple is now doing what men desire the most, expanding the territory and dominating one side, and the tomboy aura in her natural personality will fully burst out.

After thinking about it here, he found that he had indeed ignored many invisible talents who had long been under his command, and Kou Yan couldn't help but feel comfortable. At this time, she had already begun to dream of entering Xiangyang.

On the other hand, Cao Ren became more and more uncertain the more he waited. Xun Yu's handwritten official document has been in his hands for several days, and he already knows who the person who came to help him defend the city is, this person is also a big card in Cao Cao's hand, although it is not as important as Cao Ren, but it is also Cao Cao's very important general, his name is Le Jin, and he is also a fierce man. Cao Ren knew his ability, so he naturally understood that Cao Cao's intention to send Le in was to take over him to guard Xiangyang, and he, as Cao Cao's younger brother and confidant, naturally wanted to be by Cao Cao's side at all times.

Now that the north is recuperating and recuperating, it is necessary to prevent the resurgence of the anti-Cao forces that were suppressed by Cao Cao before, Cao Cao needs Cao Ren, and Cao Ren also hopes to help Cao Cao more, instead of sitting here and watching.

Therefore, he waited for Lejin to wait for the flowers to be thanked, almost to the point of looking forward to it. But at this time, Lejin is on other battlefields, and it is not a matter of time and a half to come over. So while Cao Ren was anxiously waiting, he planned to wait for Le Jin to enter Xiangyang, and then he personally led his dragoon army out to wreak havoc, destroying all the fortifications that had been painstakingly built on the opposite side!

Cao Ren is very anxious, and Changsha is even more anxious. Cao Ren's idea has not yet been put into practice, and it has long been seen through by Pang Tong and Xu Shu. They were also worried that after someone assisted Cao Ren in defending the city, Cao Ren would personally come out to play a big ticket. At this time, if the catapult has not had time to assemble in place, the loss of Changsha will be too great. Therefore, both sides are waiting, both are rushing for time, at this time, time is life, time is victory.

Jiang Wan did not disappoint Kou Yan, and the craftsmen in Changsha did not disappoint Kou Yan either. The first five giant catapults and technicians finally arrived in front of the army after a long wait.

Kou Yan was so excited that she met them in person and unexpectedly saw Zhang Fei walking with the technicians! Anyway, Zhou Yu is gone, and there is no need to worry about the truth of the assassination of Liu Bei being known by Zhang Fei. It doesn't matter if he's in the army or not.

The technicians said that after receiving orders from their superiors, they worked day and night to study and build them, and even searched for the heirs of the Mo family for this purpose, and finally let them study the catapults required by their superiors. It's just that this catapult has a fatal shortcoming, that is, it is very huge and cumbersome after assembly, and it can't be removed unless it is completely destroyed, it is a real disposable, and because it is very load-bearing, the wood selected is of the best quality, and the cost is outrageously high.

Although Kou Yan has always said that he is not short of money, so that Jiang Wan can rest assured that he is bold! But Jiang Wan is used to being frugal after all, and he always feels uneasy when he suddenly asks him to spend money lavishly. Therefore, he told the technician to make all the advantages and disadvantages clear, so that Kou Yan could change his decision in time.

However, when Kou Yan saw the finished product, she was extremely satisfied! It really met her requirements perfectly! It was tall and sturdy, and when it was loaded, it could not only hold stones, but also stand archers, and if it could move, it would be a mobile fort! Unfortunately, this thing was really too bulky to move. But Kou Yan didn't care anymore. With a wave of his hand: "Give you two days to assemble these things!" Inform Zhao Yun and Cen Qi to be ready to welcome Cao Ren out of the city at any time!"

The technicians didn't expect Kou Yan to be so satisfied with their results, and their faces were beaming, and they worked hard. Kou Yan returned to the Zhongjun tent and immediately wrote to Jiang Wan, asking him not to worry about money, build a large number of catapults, and make great efforts to build this kind of catapult, and continuously transport it to the front line!

Soon, Cao Ren saw that there were many more people on the fortifications outside the city, and they were carrying some strange big guys, and he knew that there was finally a big move in the Changsha military camp. When he thought that Lejin was coming soon, he was determined. The heart says let's build it, you can build it now, and in two days I will lead the cavalry to destroy all this mess, you just wait and cry!

For two days in a row, there was an eerie silence in Xiangyang City. Zhao Yun and Cen Qi waited solemnly with their soldiers, but as a result, not even a single arrow was released on the opposite side, and the city gate was never opened. This made Zhao Yun breathe a sigh of relief, and he was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, he really wanted to compete with someone of the same level as Cao Ren.

Kou Yan also felt a little strange in her heart, since she was under the city of Xiangyang, she wanted to see Cao Ren more than anyone else and see what he looked like now. It's a pity that Cao Ren has stayed in the city all the time and never came out once.

However, there is also the benefit of not coming out, at least five huge catapults have been safely erected. The shocking effect of the towering sky amazed Kou Yan and shocked the soldiers on the opposite side of the city. Without hesitation, Kou Yan gave Pang Tong an order, and early on the morning of the third day, the first siege began!

And Cao Ren realized what the other party wanted to do when the catapult on the opposite side was two-thirds of the way assembled, and immediately blackened his face, ordered his subordinates to enter the first level of security, and all the materials for defending the city were moved to the designated place. Always ready to fight to the death with your enemies!

However, this first siege battle was destined to leave a shadow in his heart. Kou Yan specifically wanted to deal with him, spared no expense, and spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and the effect was absolutely shocking. Cao Ren or something, it is destined to be tragic.
