After Lü Bu besieged the city, he advanced the garrison two miles forward and re-encamped.

"My lord, it seems that someone left the city last night and headed east." Guan Hai, who was in charge of patrolling the East City Gate, came to report to Lu Bu.

Just after the early hours of last night, some defenders in the city took advantage of the fatigue of the soldiers of the Lu army and the dim lights to climb down the city wall and sneak out.

As for the truth of this news, Guan Hai did not dare to give 100% certainty.

"Dongwuyang is trapped, and it is expected that the thieves are going to Xuzhou to move rescue soldiers."

Huang Zhong took over the topic and stroked his beard.

Lu Bu nodded secretly, affirming Huang Zhong's thoughts: "Han Sheng's guess is not unreasonable. ”

At present, Luoyang, Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Liang, Youzhou and other places have stabilized, and Jizhou is in chaos, but with the north and south attacks of Liyi and Sima Yi, it is difficult for the three sons of the Yuan family to become a climate.

Liu Biao in Jingzhou was also beaten by Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army, leaving only Xiangyang alone, and he was still resisting stubbornly.

If Liu Wei went to ask for help, it is estimated that only Liu Bei from Xuzhou would remain.

Cao Cao is no more than 10,000 people, so he shouldn't take such a big risk.

Lu Bu was clear in his heart.

If Liu Bei dared to come again, it would be the best, and it would save him the effort of going to Xuzhou to exterminate him.

"How deep is the moat?" Lu Bu asked.

"Back to my lord, these days, despite the rebels' repeated restraint and economy, the river has also gone seven or eight feet, less than two feet. I believe that after half a month of work at most, they should completely scoop up the river. ”

Song Xian clenched his fists and reported.

"Good."

Lu Bu nodded, and then asked, "Wen Yuan, Gongming, when will they arrive?" ”

Yang Xiu searched in his mind, bowed down and replied: "It should be soon, General Zhang Liao has arrived in Gongqiu, and General Xu Huang, who came from Huainan, has also arrived in Yinping, and it is estimated that he will be able to reach Dongwuyang in half a month at most and join the army of the Lord Gong." ”

"Good."

Lu Bu said lightly, and then ordered: "These days, don't be idle, you and the others will be idle, and all the means you can use will be arranged for the rebels, so that they can teach them to see our methods." ”

"Command!"

The generals clenched their fists and roared loudly.

…………

Early the next morning, Hua Xiong led people to the city, only to see him sitting on the back of a tall black horse, stomping the big knife in his hand to the ground, and then rolling up his sleeves, and scolding the city like a shrew scolding the street: "The turtle grandson raised by the son of a bitch on the city tower, your grandfather Huaxiong is here." If it's a thing with a handle, get out of the city and fight your grandfather Huaxiong! ”

"Turtle grandson!"

"Turtle grandson!"

The soldiers behind him burst into laughter.

The humiliation and abuse under the city kept coming, how could the defenders on the city tower endure it, everyone is a person who eats military rations, who is not a hot-blooded man?

"General, the enemy army is simply too deceitful!"

"That's it! Otherwise, let's open the city gate and fight with them! It's a big deal that Lao Tzu will exchange one with them, who will die and who will live, it is not certain! ”

"That's right, it's too embarrassing to guard like a turtle with a shrunken head!"

The soldiers around Xu Guang were all filled with righteous indignation, their eyes were full of anger, and they wanted to rush down the city pass immediately and hack those men who were full of rude words to death.

If the strength of the two sides is equal, Xu Guang will really lead people to rush, but now the fools can see that Lu Bujun completely crushes his own side.

Xu Guang, as a general, naturally can't just rely on a hot head to fight to the death with the Lu army under the city, he silently recited it many times in his heart: calm down and calm down, restraint and restraint again.

After his mood stabilized, Xu Yi warned the surrounding defenders: "Don't fall for the enemy's tactics, they scolded so much, but they just wanted to lure our army to open the city, and then kill into the city." You are strong-blooded, and General Ben knows, but that doesn't mean that everyone is not afraid of death. ”

"We occupy a favorable position, as long as we don't open the city gate, it will not be so easy for the enemy army to attack the city. As for these insults, let's just treat him as a barking dog and ignore him. ”

After speaking, Xu Guang looked at the city and scolded Hua Xiong: "Hua Xiong, just call it, I won't open the city gate for you, if you have the ability, you can fly up by yourself!" ”

"Hey, you turtle grandson, it's really a turtle with a shrunken head, don't let Lao Tzu catch you in the future!"

Hua Xiong scolded hatefully, he wanted to provoke Xu Guang, and then make him go out of the city to fight, but he didn't expect this old boy to be so calm.

"General, are we still scolding?" The soldier next to him asked cautiously.

"Scold, why don't you scold! From now on, I will come to scold him every day in the morning, noon and evening for half an hour, and I don't believe that they can hold the fire! ”

Hua Xiong's face sank darkly, he turned his head, and ordered with the soldiers he brought: "You continue to scold, General Ben will go and drink saliva first." ”

In the city, on the originally lively streets, only the strong men of the people carrying materials are now left.

The women were at home with their children, and through the windows, they could vaguely see the pity and fear in their eyes, as if they had become frightened birds.

Xun Yu, the imperial historian, wrote a list of texts, saying that Lu Bu poisoned the well, hoping to poison the Baixin and soldiers in the city and implement the plan to destroy the city.

The abdominal pain and head distension of the people before is the best proof of this.

And at this critical time, the Son of Heaven Liu Bianren did not hesitate to use the moat water to relieve the people in the city.

After the people learned about it, they were naturally very grateful, so they hated Lu Bu, coupled with Xun Yu's verbal incitement, so that the people took the initiative to help Liu Bianjun transport supplies to defend the city, and vowed to fight the Lu army outside the city to the end.

"Have you heard? The enemy forces outside the city seemed to be about to storm the city. ”

In a corner of the city, several women were chattering.

Now the men are carrying supplies and guarding the city, and they, the married women, are idle at home all day.

"Li Sanjia, where did you hear the news?" A woman with a bucket of water was curious.

"Second Aunt He, have you forgotten what my family is doing?"

Li Sanjia crossed his waist and had a big black spot on his face, and his expression was very proud.

Only then did the women remember that this woman's man was undercover in the enemy army, and if the news came back from his man, it would be nine out of ten.

"When the enemy breaks through the city, will we all have to die?" A slightly better-looking woman had worry written on her face.

"Dead what dead! I'm not afraid. ”

Li Sanjia was triumphant, and then took out something from his sleeve and compared it in front of several other women, "Look, what is this?" ”

The women looked at each other, and then disdainfully: "Cut, I should be some rare object, a red scarf." ”

"Don't underestimate you, listen to my fool say that when the enemy army is attacking the city, as long as you hang this red scarf on the door outside the house, you can save your life." Li Sanjia said it very firmly.

"Cut, I don't believe it."

Second Aunt He scoffed at this, but in her heart, like other women, she secretly wrote it down.
