In the north of Jizhou, Zhending City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Around the city, more than 100,000 Han troops camped endlessly, encircling the Zhending City like an iron bucket array, and even a fly could not fly in.

In the Han camp outside the city, the banner covers the sky, and the military spirit is mighty and slaughtering, showing the domineering arrogance of the Han army everywhere.

In the imperial tent, Liu Bei was sighing with emotion, listening to Sima Yi and reporting to him the latest news about the fall of the Qin State.

"I didn't expect it, Cao Mengde is also a hero, and he can't withstand the soldiers of the pottery thief, and he was destroyed so quickly, it's a pity, it's a pity, it......'s a pity, it's a pity."

Liu Bei sighed, his gray face revealing a bit of resentment.

He was still counting on Cao Cao to be able to survive as much as he could, dragging the potters for him, so that he could not come to save Jizhou, so that he could attack Hebei to his heart's content.

He didn't expect that Cao Cao was so uncompetitive that in less than four months, he was lost in the pass where Chang'an was located, so that the pottery merchants could send a large number of soldiers and horses back to Jizhou, making his southward resistance more and more great.

Liu Bei didn't expect that the pottery merchants' determination to destroy Qin was so great that they chased all the way to the extreme west of the Chinese Empire like Yumen Pass, and drove Cao Cao to the Western Regions.

Cao Cao's demise meant that the pottery merchants could personally return east and come to lead the Hebei Wei army and fight him to the death.

Although Liu Bei's current strength is not comparable to before, in his heart, he is still a little jealous of the pottery merchant.

What's more, there is a Zhending City in front of him that makes him crazy, and there is a Tiandan in the city that he hates to the bone, but he is helpless.

"Damn Tian Dan, after I capture Zhending, I have to divide your five horses and horses into corpses to vent the hatred in my heart-" Liu Bei slammed his fist on the case, gritting his teeth secretly, and his gray face burned with gloomy anger.

Tian Dan really made Liu Bei crazy.

Liu Bei's iron cavalry army went south, and the original start was very smooth, and he successively broke through the important towns of the Wei army such as Lunu, and incorporated a large number of counties and counties in northern Hebei into his territory.

Just when Liu Bei was thinking about it, taking advantage of the fact that the pottery merchant was too late to return to his teacher, he killed Benye in one go, broke the capital of Wei, swallowed Hebei in one go, and even touched Henan, but he kicked the iron plate in Zhending City.

Tian Dan, the best general of the Great Wei State, borrowed less than 20,000 soldiers and horses to defend Zhending City into a solid foundation.

Exactly five months!

In five months, Liu Bei's iron hooves never had a chance to invade the south for half a step, and hundreds of thousands of troops were nailed to the front of Zhending City, and they couldn't attack it alive or dead.

Although Liu Bei has top strategists such as Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, immortal tiger generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, and even newly rising generals such as Wu Sangui and An Lushan, no matter what tactics and means he has exhausted, he will not be able to break through this Zhending City.

Tian Dan, this guy who pretended to be a disciple of the ancients, seemed to be born to defend the city, defeated all of Liu Bei's siege methods, and made Zhending City as majestic as iron and standing.

Now that the Qin State has been destroyed, the pottery merchants are said to have rushed to Bingzhou, if they can defeat the Xianbei people, the next goal must be to rush to relieve the siege of Zhending.

The trend of the situation in the world has begun to tilt in the direction that is not favorable to Liu Bei, how can he not be anxious.

"Your Majesty accepts the ministers to surrender, the ministers are hard, and I am willing to lead the army to capture the real determination for Your Majesty, in order to repay Your Majesty's kindness!" A member of the tent, the Tiger Bear General, came out of work and asked for battle.

Liu Bei's thoughts converged, and he saw to the tiger general that the person who invited him to fight was Yan Liang, who had recently surrendered.

This general of the Qin State, before the decisive battle of Dunhuang, followed Cao Pi to leave the Qin State and tried to go to the Xianbei people, but he didn't want to encounter a sandstorm on the way and lost contact with Cao Pi.

At that time, Yan Liang and Wang Ping, the two generals, with less than 1,000 soldiers, were lost in the desert, and unlike Cao Pi, Yan Liang was lucky to walk out of the desert and enter the Xianbei territory.

When Yan Liangshang was a general in Hebei, he served for Yuan Shao, and he taught disobedient Xianbei people a lesson, and he was actually dissatisfied with Cao Pi's decision to defect to the Xianbei people.

Now that Yan Liang had lost contact with Cao Pi, he and Wang Ping were together, and the two generals decided to bypass the Xianbei territory and come to the Han Kingdom to defect to Liu Bei.

Yan Liang was originally from Hebei, and it was only because Yuan Shang was destroyed that Yan Liang was cornered, so he surrendered to Cao Cao and followed Cao Cao to Yongliang.

Now that more than a lapse has passed, even Yan Liang himself did not expect that he would be able to return to his hometown one day, and he was warmly welcomed and treated warmly by Liu Bei.

Yan Liang was grateful for Liu Bei's kindness, and deeply hated the pottery merchant for destroying Yuan Shao, Yuan Shang and Cao Cao, the three old masters he had been loyal to, and he was bent on revenge, so he stood up and asked Liu Bei for war.

On the one hand, he wanted to take down Zhending and kill Wei generals to vent his hatred, and on the other hand, he also wanted to make meritorious contributions as soon as possible in order to gain a firm foothold in the Han Kingdom.

Of course, Liu Bei could see Yan Liang's thoughts, and his eyes showed a little relief, but he smiled and said: "Zizheng, don't worry, sooner or later you will have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and I will let you take revenge and be ashamed." ”

Only then did Yan Liang suppress his fighting spirit and retreat.

Liu Bei's gaze turned to the ministers in front of the tent, his expression became solemn, and he asked in a deep voice: "Cao Mengde is not angry, he was destroyed by the pottery thief so quickly, and now the pottery thief has arrived in the state, and he may come to Jizhou at any time, and my army has never been able to capture Zhending City, the situation has reached such a point, what is the best way for you?" ”

The voice fell, and the first one stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, at present, the pottery thieves have newly destroyed the Qin State, the morale of the Wei army is high, and our army has been attacking for a long time, and the morale is already at the end of the strong crossbow. ”

The frustration and spilling words were nothing more than being afraid of the pottery merchant and trying to persuade Liu Bei to withdraw from the army.

Liu Bei frowned, and there was a bit of displeasure between his eyebrows.

I think that when he raised his troops to go south, he didn't approve of it, and now he was the first to propose the withdrawal of troops, this Yuan Shao's former minister always went against his strategy, which made Liu Bei dissatisfied for a long time.

It's just that the frustration is a Hebei clan, and the generals under his command, such as Yan Liangwen, Wu Sangui, An Lushan, etc., are all Hebei people, in order to win the hearts of these Hebei generals, he has to turn a blind eye to the dissipation attitude of the frustrated award.

"Frustrated with it, don't do it!"

When Liu Bei had not yet expressed his position, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi in front of the account almost unanimously spoke out against it.

Liu Bei glanced at the two of them, and there was a bit of surprise in his eyes, you must know that these two right-hand advisors of his have always had different opinions, but they don't want to oppose the disagreement today.

He didn't know that Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, whose hometowns were in the enemy war zone of the Wei State, were looking forward to returning to their hometowns, and they wanted them to fall short, how could they endure it.

Liu Bei was very satisfied, and waved his hand to signal the two to say their reasons.

Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry now, he smiled at Sima Yi very gracefully, and politely asked him to say first.

"It's better for Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to say it first." Sima Yi also had a humble attitude.

"Is it Lord Sima who will object first, or Lord Sima who will say it first." Zhuge Liang immediately smiled and refused, becoming more and more polite and polite.

Liu Bei was impatient, so he waved his hand and said, "You two don't have to be humble, Kong Ming, you can say it first." ”

Zhuge Liang coughed lightly, shook his feather fan, and said lightly: "Although the pottery thief destroyed the Qin State, it is true, but the Xianbei people's 100,000 iron horsemen are still blocked in Bingzhou, with their current strength, the pottery thief wants to solve the siege of Jinyang, it will take at least three or five months, so we don't have to worry at all, the pottery thief will come to Hebei in the short term." ”

Liu Bei nodded slightly, and his frowning brows were slightly relaxed because of his words of relief.

Zhuge Liang then said: "Therefore, we still have enough time to break through Zhending City, and Zhending City has been defended for nearly five months, and most of the grain and grass in the city must have been consumed, and the minister estimates that it can only support three months at most. ”

"The prime minister is reasonable, and his words are reasonable." Liu Bei nodded again and again, forgetting the persuasion of the frustrated professor.

Sima Yi's eyes moved, and he hurriedly added: "When Your Majesty breaks through Zhending, the army can drive straight into Yecheng and take Yecheng directly, at that time, don't say that the pottery thief may not be able to solve the siege of Jinyang, even if he solves the siege of Jinyang, and personally comes to Jizhou to lead the armies of Wei, what can he do on the Hebei Plain of Ma Pingchuan to block my Han iron cavalry." ”

The analysis of the two peerless strategists completely closed the haze in Liu Bei's heart, and his confidence was suddenly rekindled.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Bei sneered: "Kong Ming and Zhongda are reasonable, the advantage is still in ours, I don't believe that the pottery thief can ......."

"Newspaper—"

A hurried shout interrupted Liu Bei's bold words, and a scout hurried into the account.

"Your Majesty, and the state of the urgent report, a few days ago the Wei army in Yong'an broke Xianbei, Xianbei lost tens of thousands of soldiers, has fled to the north in a hurry, Tao thief is leading 100,000 troops through Taihang, Wangjing Pass."

Click!

In an instant, in this big tent, from Liu Bei to Zhuge Liang and other ministers, it seemed to hear a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and without warning, it slashed on top of their heads.

The monarchs and ministers of the Han Kingdom changed color in an instant.

"What!" Liu Bei, who was taken aback, jumped up from the throne and looked at Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi with shocked faces.

These two peerless strategists, in addition to being shocked, invariably showed embarrassment on their faces, as if they had been slapped in public.

You must know that just a moment ago, the two of them were still confident that the potters would not be able to repel the Xianbei people and relieve the siege of Jinyang without three or five months.

Who would have thought that in the next second, the potter would slap them in the face with a big break and a miraculous victory, how could he not embarrass the two of them.

"Tuoba Hong has 100,000 iron horsemen, and there are heroes like Shile Murong Chui to help, I heard that Ma Chao also went to defect, the strength is so strong, how can the pottery thief be broken so quickly?" Zhuge Liang scolded sharply, his face in disbelief.

Liu Bei's gaze also glared at the scout, obviously having the same doubts as Zhuge Liang in his heart.

"The detailed information is here, please take a look at it." The scout hurriedly presented the silk book information.

Liu Bei snatched it over, unfolded it to take a closer look, and sat on the throne, his gray face began to twitch, and his face became both angry and helpless.

"See for yourselves." Liu Bei sighed and threw the silk book to Zhuge Liang and them.

So, a group of ministers gathered next to Zhuge Liang, with endless amazement, wanting to see how the potter performed a miracle.

The facts shocked them and shocked them even more.

On the silk book information, the decisive battle in the north of Yong'an City was recorded in detail, and it was recorded how the Xianbei people had the upper hand, how they lured the Wei general Li Mu to take the initiative, and how they took the opportunity to send iron cavalry to directly take Li Mu's army.

Of course, it was also recorded in the intelligence that just when the Xianbei people were about to succeed, how the celestial phenomena suddenly changed, and a west wind blew inexplicably, which disrupted the vision of the Xianbei people, and was attacked by the Wei army and defeated in one fell swoop.

"This is too damn evil, isn't it, the Xianbei people actually lost to an inexplicable bird wind?" Zhang Fei's jaw was about to drop, and he shouted blankly.

In the big tent, the ministers of the Han Kingdom were shocked by this "absurd" result, and they were stunned and dumbfounded.
