In the following days, Hua Xiong brought people to the city every day to scold the battle, at the beginning, the soldiers of the Lu army were in strict formation, and when they saw the defenders shrinking their heads and not coming out, they simply lazily basked in the sun under the city, and all kinds of humiliation and abuse to the defenders in the city.

At night, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Gao Shun and others randomly selected a city gate to carry out a night attack, mainly to build momentum, often before rushing to the city, deceiving some arrows, and then Ming Jin to withdraw the troops.

The defenders of the city knew that this was a deliberate trick by Lu Jun, but they did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and they were miserable about it.

In addition, the Shenji Battalion under the command of Lu Bu tied a text to the arrows of the strong crossbow, and used the firing power of the strong crossbow to shoot into the city one after another.

In the text, he told the people of Dongwuyang that Liu was at the end of the road on the charge of serious crimes, and if they were willing to abandon the secret and turn to the light, they could be exempted from responsibility and not punished.

After Liu Wei learned about it, he immediately sent someone to collect all these crossbow arrows, but as soon as the news spread, it was like a flood beast that opened the floodgates, and it was too late to curb it.

With the increase in the number of night attacks by the Lu army, the number of people hanging red scarves in front of their homes has increased.

By the end, almost all the city was full of red scarves.

The palace hall in the city shattered the precious jade porcelain on the ground.

"Kill me! Kill them all! ”

Hearing the snake's report, Liu Wei, who was angry in his heart, looked hideous, and threw the teacup in his hand on the ground again, killing him.

"Your Majesty, no!"

Xun Yu learned the news and hurriedly came to persuade him.

"A bunch of ungrateful fools! What's the use of me keeping him! Liu Wei snorted coldly and sat down with his sleeves brushed up, his anger still subsided.

"Your Majesty, listen to the words of the ministers, there are still more than 100,000 people in the city, and if you kill them, it will inevitably cause a riot. Under the internal and external troubles, His Majesty's situation will only become more difficult at that time. Xun Yu spoke bitterly.

"What do you say?" Liu Weijiang's brows sank.

"There is only one word - boil."

Xun Yu gave a solution that was not a solution, the consumption of grain and grass of Lu Bu's army was far greater than that of the defenders in the city, and the restrictions of the mountainous terrain of Dongwuyang made it difficult to transport grain.

As long as Lu Bu doesn't launch a strong attack, he can always be consumed to death here.

What's more, Liu Bei had already promised to send troops, and as long as the defenders held out for another month, Liu Bei's Xuzhou troops should be able to reach Dongwuyang. At that time, under the front and back attacks, even if Lu Bu could not be broken, at least he could be forced back for several miles.

"Xun Qing, I know that you are a humble gentleman, but some people may not be as you think. Although Liu Bei is known for his benevolence and righteousness, you and I should know that this guy is actually not very credible, and it is actually unknown whether he will come or not. ”

"Besides, the moat is running out of water, and it won't last long. I'm afraid that Liu Bei hasn't arrived yet, and we will die of thirst here first. ”

"Instead of this, I might as well set fire to the granary, and then personally raise the army out of the city and fight to the death with Lu Bu!"

Liu Wei was ruthless, and simply learned from the overlord of Chu to break the chapter and make a ruin.

When Xun Yu heard this, he hurriedly stopped: "Your Majesty, don't be rash, the enemy army is several times larger than mine, and they are all battle-hardened tigers and wolves. His Majesty has ordered all battalion soldiers to control water use, let's stay up until Liu Bei arrives first, and then make a decision! ”

Listening to Xun Yu's earnest advice, Liu Bian's mind finally calmed down, and he also understood that in a head-to-head battle, his 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers were like moths to a fire in front of Lu Bu's 200,000 army, and after sighing, he said, "It's only temporary."

Subsequently, he asked Xun Yu again: "Does Cao Mengde have a reply?" ”

Compared with Liu Bei, who was moody and angry, and the city government was deep, Liu Wei felt that Cao Cao, whose ambitions were exposed, was more credible.

Xun Yu shook his head slightly, strange to say, Cao Cao didn't seem to be going in the direction of the east, let alone where he moved the team.

These days, I have not been able to get in touch.

Time is unhurried, slowly alternating in sunrise and sunset.

Half a month later, Zhang Liao, who came from the east, and Xu Huang, who came from the south, arrived at the same time with their troops.

Zhang Liao brought 30,000 soldiers and horses, and his old partner Xu Shu joined the army, and he also joined Fang Yue's team on the way.

Xu Huang of Huainan in Pingding had more soldiers and horses, about 60,000 people, and he joined the army, and when he went to Dingling County, he also called Pang De, who was stationed there.

Xu Rong was also going to come here, but when he saw that there were enough people, he went to the north and the state to pick up the second son Lu Xiao, who had broken into Mobei.

After the convergence, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and other generals first met the lord Lu Bu, and then hugged their fists with other generals in the tent.

I haven't seen each other for a long time, and these familiar generals naturally have endless topics.

"You dolls, when the old man was young, how tall were you? Now in a blink of an eye, all of them have become prestigious generals, which is really unforgiving! ”

Lao Huang Zhong stroked his white beard and looked at these grown dolls, in addition to relief, his words were also mixed with a rare loss.

Perhaps, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and he is really old.

"Don't sigh, old general, your old majesty has not diminished. According to the younger generation, there is absolutely no problem for another twenty or thirty years! ”

Zhang Liao smiled and said to Huang Zhong that now he has a three-inch-long mustache on his chin, and he is mature and stable in terms of face and heart.

Back then, he followed Lu Bu at the age of fourteen, broke Xianbei, Zhenhuang Turban, and traveled to Liaodong and Xiliang.

Before he knew it, he was already thirty-five, and he had several sons under his knees.

Xu Huang and the others all echoed the voice, they all knew that this old general cherished his face and was unwilling to obey the old.

"What about Huang Xu? Why can't you see him? ”

Zhang Liao looked left and right, but did not find Huang Xu's figure.

Huang Zhong told the reason.

It turned out that most of the young men who came out of the young marshal army, Chengcai, Chengqi, Cao Jun, and Hou Meng, now followed Lu Xiao to Mobei, and made meritorious contributions to break the Xianbei royal court.

"Meng Qi!"

Seeing Ma Chao, Pound was particularly excited.

Ma Chao heard the voice, looked back at Pang De, and shouted "Ling Ming" happily.

Reunited after a long absence, the two brothers hugged each other tightly.

Although they are not brothers of flesh and blood, they have long been better than brothers and sisters.

"Ling Ming, you've become stronger!"

After separating, Ma Chao punched Pang De, with a smile on his face.

Pang De shook his head and said straightly: "Meng Qi, you are the real stronger!" It's as strong as the lord of the year! ”

On the other side, Xu and Guo, who were reunited.

"Xu Yuanzhi, I heard that you worshiped the military division lieutenant general, hehe, should you say something?" Guo Jia rubbed his palms and smiled, his good-looking peach blossom eyes were rare and a little obscene.

It is completely different from the image of the prodigal son who is free and easy on weekdays.

Xu Shu has a free and easy temperament, he and Guo Jia knew each other's temperament well, I saw him raise his hand and shake it, especially free and easy: "Take it, the best apricot blossom brew in Runan!" ”

Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly caught it, and then couldn't wait to pull out the lid of the kettle, stretched out his nose and sniffed deeply into the jug, and then laughed: "Xu Yuanzhi, you still know me best!" ”
