"Why are there so many soldiers and horses in this ink city?" After Cao Jun collected his troops and returned to the camp, Cao Ren met with Xiahou Yuan and said with a puzzled expression.

Both of them have crossed paths with Mocheng, they are both experienced in battles, not only familiar with military books, but also experienced in leading troops, it is easy to estimate how many men and horses the other party has from the opponent's arrangement.

Cao Ren had a head-to-head battle with the soldiers and horses of Mocheng that day, although he was defeated in the end, but judging by the fact that Mocheng later sent troops to chase after his own soldiers and horses, the opponent's manpower was between one or two thousand, and if it was more, it would not be so easy for him to escape.

But today, judging from the reaction of the other party, not only is the city strong, the range of bows and arrows is long, but there are definitely a lot of people, and there is even a spare force to divide a group of soldiers and horses to attack and disturb the cruise, making it difficult for Cao's army to attack the city with all its strength, not to mention that it takes 3,000 people to have this spare strength, right?

"A few days ago, a certain army came here, and there are no more than two schools in Mocheng." Xiahou Yuan frowned and said, when dealing with Xiahou Yuan, Liu Yi mobilized almost all the troops that could be mobilized in Mocheng, so although Xiahou Yuan worshiped miserably, he also had a more thorough understanding of the forces in Mocheng.

"In this way, I'm afraid that Jiangxia Liu Qi and Liu Bei sent reinforcements." Le Jin heard the words of the two, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said: "Zixiao, has you noticed that although there are many soldiers and horses in the city today, many soldiers are not trying their best to defend it?" ”

"Wen Qian is saying......" Cao Ren's eyes narrowed and looked at Le Jin.

"I'm afraid that the reinforcements are at odds with Liu Yi and are unwilling to help, according to the last general, since this Mocheng is well defended and difficult to break, it is better to postpone the siege, and instead break through the men and horses outside the city first, and then attack Mocheng with all their might, I don't know what the two generals think?" Lejin smiled.

The two biggest problems in attacking Mocheng now, one is the sudden increase in the number of troops in Mocheng, and the other is that Zhao Yun led a group of men, so that they can't attack Mocheng with all their strength, if they send troops to attack Zhao Yun, they are worried that Mocheng will also send troops.

But now, after finding that the two sides may not be at odds, it will be different, if it is true, not to mention provoking the relationship between the two sides, they can solve Zhao Yun first, if the two families are not in harmony, I am afraid that Liu Yi will not dare to rest assured that Mocheng will be handed over to the other party to send troops to save Zhao Yun, and Liu Qi's men and horses may not be willing to take risks, at this time, as long as a small number of soldiers and horses are left on guard, they can go all out to clean up Zhao Yun's people first, and then turn their heads and attack Mocheng again.

A city with internal discord, an opponent who can't fight the enemy together, is only a matter of time before it falls.

Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan thought for a moment, clapped their hands and said: "Fortunately, Wen Qian helped in the battle, but that Zhao Zilong is a fierce general under Liu Bei, and it seems that today he is also quite knowledgeable about military affairs, so he should not be taken lightly." ”

Whoever comes up with the idea will work, and the matter of attacking Zhao Yun's camp will naturally be handed over to Le Jin.

"Don't worry, I see that Zhao Yun only has more than 1,000 people, tomorrow I will lead 2,000 elite soldiers to break the enemy, and when I capture that Zhao Yun, I will besiege this ink city with the two generals on both sides!" Le Jin smiled and arched his hand.

……

Over there, the three generals of the Cao army discussed how to attack Mocheng, but there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping on the side of Mocheng.

After Liu Yi returned to Cao Jun's gold, he took Liu Sandao back to the government office, he was worried that Cao Jun would break through, so he was ready to allocate a group of people to enter the water village to patrol the river, once Zhao Yun could not resist the enemy, he could also pick up Zhao Yun in time, and at the same time he could also transport supplies.

It's just that before Liu Yi's order was issued, he saw Wei Yue and Zhou Ben shouting at each other and rushing in with a group of people.

"General Zhou, what does this mean?" Liu Yi raised his head and looked at Zhou Bendao.

"Liu Yi, I came here because I was invited by Uncle Huang, and I personally led troops to help, how can your Mocheng generals behead my generals, what does this mean?" Zhou Ben didn't wait for Liu Yi's words to fall, and then said with his head and face.

"Is there such a thing?" Liu Yi pretended to be surprised and looked at Wei Yue and said, "General Wei, why is this?" ”

Wei Yue said loudly: "Seeing that the Cao army was attacking like a tide, they were about to climb the city wall, but the Jiangxia generals refused to give the order to resist the enemy for some reason. ”

Liu Yi looked at Zhou Ben and frowned: "General Zhou, I am quite grateful that Qi Gongzi can come to help at this time, but these generals don't give orders to defend the enemy when they are in battle, but why?" Could it be that this is the meaning of Qi Gongzi? ”

Zhou Ben said sharply: "Even if there is something wrong, it should be handled by me, when will it be your turn to kill my soldiers?" ”

"The military situation is urgent, and the last general is also thinking about defending the city, so he has no time to ask the general for instructions, and I hope the general will forgive me." Wei Yue arched his hand at Zhou Ben very insincerely.

"You ......" Zhou Ben saw that he was so angry and didn't fight anywhere, originally wanted to borrow the hand of Cao Jun today to weaken Liu Yi's soldiers and horses, so that he would have a greater right to speak, and control this Mocheng in his hands through this battle, and become the front line of Jiangxia's resistance to the enemy Cao Army.

"Now that the enemy is present, the Cao army is strong, although General Wei is wrong, but it is also for the sake of our army, General Zhou should not be angry!" Liu Yi stood up and grabbed Zhou Ben, who wanted to do it.

"In this way, there is a small object here, the general should know the name of my Tiangongfang, Yi is from the Mo family, this fox-shaped ornament is made by me personally, and it will be given to the general today, which can be regarded as making amends to the general." Liu Yi said, opened the wooden box prepared in advance, and sent it to Zhou Ben.

"Joke ......" Zhou Ben was here to stir up trouble, how could he buy it, and was about to speak, but his eyes followed Liu Yi's movements, and unconsciously fell into the box, when he saw the carving of the Zhu deer, somehow, his spirit was in a trance, looking at the carving, he couldn't take his eyes off.

After a while, Zhou Ben took the box with his hand, looked at the Zhu Xiong, and sneered: "I have heard that the lord of Mocheng is a skilled craftsman in the world, but this craftsmanship is not bad, no matter what, today it will be on your face, forget it this time, if this incident happens again tomorrow, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

After speaking, he put the box in his arms, turned around and left.

"Bo Yuan, why did you give him a gift?" Wei Yue was a little angry, they were not wrong about this, but now they not only want to apologize, but also give gifts, Liu Yi's handicrafts, the price is not cheap now, although it may be insignificant to Liu Yi, but just like this to Zhou Ben, Wei Yue felt very uncomfortable, as if they were wrong.

"The situation is stronger than people, there are many others, even if you are not afraid, if there is a conflict right now, only Cao Jun will benefit, and besides, ......" In the end, Liu Yi glanced at the direction where Zhou Ben left, and sneered: "My gift is not so easy to take." ”
