"But ......"

"But?"

Liu Bei was exposed, jumped to his feet and shouted: "Immediately, immediately, go to me and arrest them!" ”

Xu Shu smiled bitterly: "But these people seem to have entered the mansion of the ministers of the court, including the mansions of the ministers. ”

"Huh?"

Liu Bei was stunned at first, then calmed down and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"The minister also wants to know!"

Xu Shu's face became more bitter, and he said: "The minister has searched his home carefully, but he can't find anyone. ”

"Can't find it?"

Liu Bei, who had just calmed down, couldn't calm down anymore, and shouted, "Can't find it? Will the living be found? At this time, Liu Bei had some different ideas in his heart, so that his eyes were a little wrong when he looked at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu keenly discovered this, but he didn't know how to explain it, and he was even more worried that the more he explained, the more ...... However, he still opened his mouth to persuade: "Your Majesty! The minister suspected that this was deliberately done by the Ming army, in order to drive a wedge between His Majesty and the ministers of the court. ”

"Discord?"

Liu Bei said coldly: "Yuan Zhi may have two thoughts about me five, but the others ...... I'm afraid I already have two hearts! ”

Xu Shu was silent.

There will never be a shortage of loyal ministers in history, even the most corrupt dynasties, they will be loyal ministers. But in the same way, there is no shortage of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. Each other, like night and day, add up to make up a day, a year. (Wow, I've heard that there will be long daylight in some places)

Liu Bei also smiled helplessly when he saw this, and he felt a sense of desolation when the catastrophe was coming.

"That's it!"

With a sigh, Liu Bei said: "Yuan Zhi, I don't know if there is a good plan?" ”

Xu Shu also sighed and said: "Actually, those people are not worried, what the ministers are worried about is that this Ming army will have other strategies. ”

"Then there is no other way but to impose martial law in the whole city." Liu Bei said hatefully.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Shu nodded helplessly. He could only think of this way, and it was the kind of person who had to be guarded between the streets and alleys.

Xu Shu left, and Liu Bei called Chen Dao.

"Uncle Zhi, I have someone to closely monitor the mansions of various ministers."

In contrast, Liu Bei trusts Chen Dao, who has been by his side for many years and wants to be closer.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Chen Zhi didn't ask why, and left.

Dawn.

Huang Quan and other ministers found that there were sergeants "guards" next to their mansions, and when they walked farther away, about 20 steps, they saw that the streets were full of sergeants, and there were even teams of ten people who went back and forth to patrol.

"It's changed!"

Huang Quan sighed. There is even one sentence in my heart that is not spoken: Your Majesty is confused! Although this move has a temporary stabilizing effect, it will cause panic in the people's hearts, demoralization will be lost, and all the risks taken yesterday will be useless.

After thinking about it, Huang Quan finally went to the court as before. It's just that the faithfulness is still there, but the heart is cold.

The decisive battle will start in the afternoon, and Liu Bei will ask the ministers for advice.

Huang Quan only listened from the sidelines, but did not speak. The ministers close to him, seeing his intentions, also did not speak, in fact, there was no way.

Liu Bei looked at it, thinking that Huang Quan was also one of them, and his heart was even colder. It's just that the decisive battle is imminent, and Liu Bei has no intention of dispersing the dynasty, so he listens to Xu Shu and others talking endlessly.

However, in the end, only one solution was reached-

Watch and see what happens!

Afternoon.

Gongsun Du led the troops, and Liu Bei was even more cautious, and he had already been listed on the city head one step earlier.

"Hizz~"

Liu Bei and the others looked at the behemoth outside the city, and they all gasped, just because there were too many of them, no less than hundreds.

"Quick, go to the other gates and see if there are so many of them...... Siege Machine! "Liu Bei felt very difficult when he gave the order, if there were really so many, no matter how thick the city wall was, I was afraid that he would not be able to hold on.

Outside the city.

Huang Xu looked at the historic city of Chengdu and said, "Your Majesty, do you really have to do this?" ”

Gongsun Du turned his head to look at him, and it took a long time to retract his gaze, and then he smiled lightly: "You also said that Chengdu City has a long history, and the city walls are no less solid than Luoyang and Chang'an. ”

"Or do you think you can really take it down with a little trickery?"

Huang Xu was suddenly a little at a loss, he was really like this.

Gongsun Du's eyes suddenly became confused, and he muttered: "Everyone in the world says that Liu Bei is benevolent and righteous, but who knows that this thing is a gentleman and a gentleman who is not like a group. Oh no, maybe it's his grandfather! Its hypocrisy is simply in the same vein! ”

"For the sake of stability, Liu Bei is afraid that he will do something unexpected, and the so-called Li Ying may be fruitless."

Huang Xu didn't understand the previous words, what "gentleman's sword" and "Yue Buqun", he had never heard it, but the latter words were clearly understood.

After settling down, Huang Xufu spoke again: "Your Majesty, the minister has given the order?" ”

Gongsun Du came back to his senses and said calmly: "Well, go ahead!" ”

"Yes!"

Huang Xu responded, stepped forward, and shouted: "Break the city!" ”

Forty beehives, thirty missiles, and thirty catapults, hearing the order, rushed forward in unison.

Although the catapult does not have the continuous firing of a missile, because it is fired alone, the destructive power of the projectile is much greater, and the process is much simpler. A small number of these siege equipment were carried, and most of them were caused in Zitong, Fuxian and other places. As Huang Quan guessed, it was disassembled and transported, and it was spliced together when it arrived in Chengdu. It is not so much that a day is for Liu Bei to prepare, but that Gongsun Du needs a day to install these siege equipment.

The assembly line has been implemented under Gongsun Du for many years at this time, otherwise it would not have produced so many complex siege equipment in a short time.

"Ready!"

The loud shout attracted Xu Shu's attention, and he immediately greeted Chen Dao: "Protect Your Majesty!" ”

Hundreds of guards quickly surrounded Liu Beili's three outer layers. Fortunately, the Chengdu city wall is tall and wide, otherwise it would not have been possible.

"Put!"

Stone bullets and crossbow arrows flew out and pounced on Chengdu.

Liu Bei has been fighting for many years, and it is not that he has not seen catapults and bed crossbows attacking the city, but what he has seen in the past is completely small compared with today.

The sound of collision was endless, and most of the crossbow arrows and stone bullets fell on the city wall, Liu Bei and the others felt the vibration under their feet, and they all had a thought in their hearts: Can this city wall hold on?

There were also many stone bullets and crossbow arrows that flew over the city and landed in the city.

At this time, Liu Bei felt that what Gongsun Du said yesterday was not false at all, and he was really giving him advice.

Taking advantage of the fact that the siege equipment of the Ming army was being adjusted, Xu Shu suggested: "Your Majesty, the head of the city is dangerous, why don't you avoid the edge for the time being!" ”

Liu Bei really wanted to, after all, he was notoriously afraid of death, just like Liu Bang, but if he retired now......

In the end, Liu Bei shook his head: "It's okay! Just be careful. ”

Chen puffed up his chest at this time and said, "The Ming army is fierce, but the last general has the confidence to protect His Majesty." ”

Xu Shu felt a little relieved when he heard this, and then turned his head to look out of the city worriedly.

At this time, a group of siege equipment had been adjusted, and the flag officer did not hesitate to slash down-

"Put!"

Under the sound of bangbang, stone bullets and crossbow arrows cut through the sky and rushed to Chengdu City.

The sound of "bangbang" violent impact was endless. At the same time, Liu Bei and the others obviously felt that the vibration under their feet was a little more intense than before, which made the thoughts in their hearts a little firmer.

I'm afraid I can't hold on to this city wall!

"Let's go!"

Liu Bei just turned his mind and shouted: "Everyone go down!" The Ming army didn't want to attack the city, they wanted to destroy the city wall. ”

As soon as the words were uttered, the defenders at the head of the city were in an uproar, and their faces were full of disbelief. Liu Bei didn't care whether they believed it or not, turned around and went down the city.

Outside the city, Gongsun Du watched the figure at the head of the city sway, his eyes flashed, and finally calmed down.

"Your Majesty!"

Huang Xu felt that he could give it a try, so he turned around and suggested: "The minister thinks that he can send someone to kill him directly." ”

Gongsun Du didn't roll his eyes, and said straightly: "No! ”

"What I want is not just to break Chengdu, but to break the entire Liu Army."

Huang Xu finally understood Gongsun Du's true intentions, and there was a lot of surprise on his face, and then he admired: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, and the minister is far behind!" ”

When Gongsun Du heard this, he put away the telescope and said: "Chengdu is a strong city in the end, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to destroy for a while, so I will leave it to you here." ”

Huang Xu understood and said busily: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Gongsun Du bowed slightly, and under the escort of Dian Wei, he returned to the camp.

Chengdu roared endlessly, and the crossbow arrows and stone bullets were almost endless. At this time, Liu Bei and the others who were hiding in the city were very happy, according to this situation, if they continued to stay in the city, they were afraid that they would end up with meat cakes.

Gongsun Du returned to the camp.

Zhang Ying asked the same question, and Gongsun Du explained it simply, and then understood. At the end, he asked again: "Your Majesty, has you decided to unify the world in one fell swoop?" ”

"That's right!"

Gongsun Du looked to the east and said, "At this time, Gongjin should also set off." ”

"When I lead the troops out of Yizhou, the land of Jingchu may be in control."

Zhang Ying nodded, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine hasn't seen the warship in the army yet, I don't know if I have a chance to see it?" ”

Zhang Ying entered the palace for a short time, and he happened to move the capital before, so he really didn't have the opportunity to follow Gongsun Du to see the warships in the army.

Gongsun Du thought for a while and said, "At the end of the year or the beginning of next year!" When the time comes, there will be a new battleship to be built, so I'll take you to see it when the time comes. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
