Chapter 368: Xu Shu vs Zhuge Liang

Zhang Dingbian thought of this, looked at a middle-aged man with a heroic face beside him, and said: "Shan Fu, it seems that in this battle, the enemy army outside the city should be the main attack on my north and east two city walls, Cai Mao's Jingzhou army is lined up outside my north city wall, then his troops and horses should be the main attack on my north city wall, you also know the combat power of the Jingzhou army, this north city wall will be garrisoned by you." ”

Shan Fu is naturally Xu Shu himself!

Xu Shu originally didn't want to join Yuan Yao's command, he just wanted to travel around Jiangxia County to see the reason why Yuan Yao was able to rise quickly, but the time was very unfortunate, Xu Shu had just arrived in the Jingling area, and he met Cai Mao and Zhang Yun leading a 100,000 Jingzhou army to attack.

The vicinity of Jingling City is full of soldiers and horses of Zhang Dingbian and the sentinels of the Jingzhou army, and the nearby people have also taken refuge in the nearby cities or mountains and forests, Xu Shu had no choice but to enter Jingling City, after Xu Shu arrived at Jingling City, he happened to encounter Zhang Dingbian's recruitment of village warriors.

Xu Shu because of the refugees along the way, almost all the coils on his body were spent, and he had no relatives and friends in the Jingling area, which led to Xu Shu entering the city, there was no place to stay in Jingling City, and Xu Shu had no choice but to temporarily join the Xiangyong.

As the saying goes, gold always shines!

Xu Shu is such gold, after joining Xiang Yong, although Xu Shu has been deliberately retaining his ability to hide his clumsy, but anything will happen on the battlefield, plus Xu Shu is strong and armed with force, after joining Xiang Yong, he was appointed as the chief, although Xu Shu wants to hide his ability, but he can't sit back and watch his subordinates and comrades die, on the cruel battlefield, Xu Shu wants to save the lives of his subordinates and colleagues, so he can only keep fighting his own skills.

Therefore, Xu Shu was soon noticed by Zhang Dingbian, who inspected the city wall, Xu Shu was dignified and powerful, and his temperament was extremely outstanding.

Zhang Dingbian immediately appointed Xu Shu as the commander of the tun, leading a hundred townships to guard a section of the city wall, after serving as the commander of the tun, Xu Shu's burden was greater, Xu Shu could only continue to exert his ability, in order to save the lives of his sergeants and colleagues, Zhang Dingbian had already secretly observed Xu Shu at this time.

Zhang Dingbian saw that Xu Shu commanded a hundred people to guard a section of the city wall is simply easy, and even this hundred township warriors under the command of Xu Shu, the combat power played by him is not inferior to the elite under his command, Zhang Dingbian attached more importance to Xu Shu, and then appointed him as the commander of the township Yong battalion, the military Sima and the captain, etc., in the end, Zhang Dingbian recruited more than 3,000 township warriors in the first battle against the Jingzhou army were all assigned to the command of Xu Shu.

Xu Shu saw that Zhang Dingbian had discovered his ability, so he no longer covered it up, and began to assist Zhang Dingbian to defend the city wholeheartedly, after all, the Jingzhou army attacked the city with a desperate heart, but they would really kill and injure the Xiangyong under Xu Shu, for the lives of these Xiangyong, Xu Shu could no longer continue to hide his ability.

When the Jingzhou army attacked Jingling City for the first time, Zhang Dingbian had not yet built a military fort outside the city, so the Jingzhou army could attack the east and west sides of Jingling City and the three city walls in the north at the same time.

With Zhang Dingbian's continuous reuse of Xu Shu, Xu Shu's reputation has already spread, Zhang Dingbian's generals all know that there is a heroic hero among the township brave, and in a short period of time he was appointed by Zhang Dingbian from the post of chief to become a captain.

After Xu Shu's reputation spread, the officers and soldiers of Zhang Dingbian Army knew that Zhang Dingbian must be reusing Xu Shu, and Xu Shu's performance in the battle array was indeed extremely outstanding, which could reduce many casualties in his own home, so the officers and men of Zhang Dingbian's army gradually began to listen to Xu Shu's command, and Zhang Dingbian also maintained a tacit attitude towards this matter.

Under Zhang Dingbian's acquiescence, Xu Shu commanded more than 3,000 Xiangyong and some sergeants and sergeants of Zhang Dingbian's department to guard a city wall alone in the name of the captain of the Xiangyong battalion, and guarded this city wall as impregnable, which made the Jingzhou army suffer enough, and also reduced many casualties among the defending soldiers and soldiers, and won the love and respect of the sergeants.

At ordinary times, Zhang Dingbian also attaches great importance to Xu Shu, and constantly courtesies to win him over, under Zhang Dingbian's courtesy and the love of the soldiers in the army, Xu Shu also slowly integrated into Zhang Dingbian's army.

After the Jingzhou army retreated, Zhang Dingbian asked Xu Shu to stay to assist him as a captain, although Xu Shu wanted to have the heart to leave, but Zhang Dingbian's personality charm was not bad, and his heroic spirit was very popular with Xu Shu, who had been a ranger before, Zhang Dingbian valued it so politely, and felt the grace of Zhang Dingbian's acquaintance, plus Xu Shu's heart was also a little curious about Yuan Yao, who could subdue Zhang Dingbian who was so heroic, so Xu Shu stayed.

However, Xu Shu did not serve as a lieutenant colonel in the army, but only stayed in Zhang Dingbian's army as a member of the army, because Xu Shu was only engaged in the army, Zhang Dingbian had the right to decide for himself, so he did not report the matter to Yuan Yao, otherwise Yuan Yao should have known that Xu Shu, who had turned into a single blessing, was already happy in his army!

Zhang Dingbian attaches great importance to Xu Shu's ability, and he has been trying to find an opportunity to recommend Xu Shu to Yuan Yao, but Zhang Dingbian has always been stationed in Jingling City to guard against the Jingzhou army, and he has not had the opportunity to leave in the past few years, plus although Xu Shu has been integrated into Yuan Yao's army, he doesn't want to just recommend him to the top, but wants to build a great achievement like Lu Su first, and then directly enter the core of Yuan Yao's forces!

This time, the Jingzhou army and Liu Bei's Xinye soldiers and horses came to attack Jingling City together, and Xu Shu regarded it as the best opportunity!

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are just two, they can't put pressure on Jingling City and give themselves the opportunity to establish great achievements, but Liu Bei is different, Liu Bei is a rare hero, and several generals under his command can be called famous generals at that time, plus his old classmate Zhuge Liang, who is known as Wolong, helps him, such a combination and more than 100,000 troops can definitely have the strength to shake Jingling City, only in this way can he have the opportunity to establish great achievements!

Now the Jingzhou Army and the Xinye Alliance Army have a large number of generals, although the number of soldiers and horses on their side is at a disadvantage, but the soldiers and horses are more elite, and there are strong cities to borrow; In addition, now Zhuge Liang is in the light, and he is in the dark, after calculating this situation, he and Zhuge Liang are also considered to be equal in strength, and now it depends on whose decision-making can be better!
