Chapter 44: Prevented
In August 184 AD, more than half a year had passed since the Yellow Turban Uprising, and there was no obvious progress in the war in the north.
Gwangju fell, Gushi, Anfeng, Hefei also fell one after another, and the expansion of the Lujiang River made Qianshan, Shiting, Shucheng, Weixuwu, Xianxi, Jiashi, Wuwei and Wancheng were all included in the Lujiang plate, and the wall of the Lujiang River was built on the Yangtze River, extending 300 meters! Since then, the Lujiang River can be said to be surrounded by water on all sides, and a moat has been dug outside the west and north city walls, which is fully thousands of meters wide, and the water of the Yangtze River has been brought in, and the depth has reached three thousand meters! This is all thanks to the system engineering team! All this happened in just three days!
After the expansion is completed, the north of the Lujiang River is a plain, and the north city wall has 10 city gates, which are 100 meters apart! It shows the breadth of the Lujiang River!
After Zhang Jiao learned about the current situation in Lujiang, his heart became hot, this kind of construction layout was even more perfect than the layout he had carefully planned, and some things that he couldn't do were completed in Xiao Chen's hands anyway, how could he not be excited! That city was built on the Yangtze River? He thought that the ideal state would be like that, but it was difficult for manpower to do it! Now it's good, Xiao Chen has been built!
"Lujiang... I must get! Is the grain and grass ready? Can the last batch of gold be shipped? Zhang Jiao asked Zhang Bao!
Zhang Bao nodded, "It's been shipped over, hidden in Wuliang Mountain!" No one knows the whereabouts of the gold this time! As long as we take Lujiang, we will immediately send someone to Lujiang! β
"Excellent! Do you think it's good to take Lujiang first... Or first put these gogglers who are in the way... Zhang Jiao was a little undecided, he had a lot of dispatches during this time, and a large number of troops and supplies were sent to Yingchuan! The number of thieves has exceeded 10 million, and this will be a protracted battle! Of course, Xiao Chen's Lujiang can hold on!
Zhang Bao pondered, it stands to reason that this last city, Lujiang, even if there are capable people guarding it, it will be a drop in the bucket, as long as the large army arrives... "I thought ... Lujiang is not a day's work, so we have to plan for the long term, the people in the north are not in harmony, and the intrigue between their princes is serious, if we are here, then they will unite to get rid of us, if we leave the north, all the cities will be caught. Then the forces will be completely assembled in the Yingchuan area, and when the time comes... The current Lujiang City is amazing, if we can take it, we have no worries! β
"I'm afraid that the northern princes will gather forces to attack my rear when the time comes!"
"Big brother, do you say... Do you want to level the north first? β
"Alas! Forget it, King Lujiang has too many variables, so as not to have many dreams at night, we... Do your best to take down Lujiang! Zhang Jiao finally made up his mind!
Zhang Liang soon received an order to attack the Lujiang River with all the troops of Yingchuan!
Zhang Liang was excited, he was also a militant, about half a month, 13 million thieves set up camp in Lujiang City fifty miles around Lujiang City, and it didn't take long for the emperor to order all the princes to send troops to fight against the Yellow Turban thieves! Rush to the aid of Lujiang!
"Cao Mengde, Xiahoudun obeys the order!"
"The last general!"
"This commander ordered you to lead all the Lujiang troops, a total of 60,000 people, out of the city! Play it by ear! But remember, it's all about harassing the enemy, not against it! So, do everything with care! Mu Guiying said very seriously!
"The last general commands!"
Cao Cao knew that his 60,000 soldiers were already the last army in Lujiang, but when the marshal gave an order, he didn't dare to disobey! So he said to Mu Guiying: "Marshal, take care!" β
Suddenly, a voice came from behind Cao Cao!
"Cao Mengde, Xiahou Yuanrang, this time he came to Yingchuan with his ministers, and his hard work is high! Annihilated more than 100,000 enemies, and made countless military exploits, the minister hereby plays a table, hoping that His Majesty Long En is mighty, in order to praise it! Xiao Chen finished reading and looked at Cao Cao...
Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun's hands were trembling, that was more than a million, Xiao Chen actually wanted to take the credit on his own head! He's just killing the enemy with Xiao Chen...
"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
"Alright! Go ahead! This time, you and others decided everything on their own, and there was no need to report it, and the 60,000 soldiers were completely owned by you! I hope you can do it yourself! In addition, I will give you 10 million taels of silverγγγ Fly! β
Cao Cao has thought several times that with his ability, if he stays under Xiao Chen, he will naturally be able to make a difference, but what he thinks more about is that one day, he can also take his own army and have his own territory... Laugh at the world!
King Lujiang is too dazzling, and he is destined to only Pei Village by his side! And his Cao Mengde's ambition is not limited to this!
"He who knows me! Lord Wangye! I, Cao Mengde, swear here, in this life... Never be an enemy of the prince! β
Xiahoudun glanced at Cao Mengde differently, and then looked at King Lujiang...
"Get up! Brother Mengde, I look forward to seeing you soar through the sky! β
"Thank you Lord Wang!"
"Get up! Getting out of town this time is not an easy task! Shape up or ship out! Take care! β
"Lord Wang... Take care! β
Cao Cao walked to the city gate step by step, and after he got out of the city gate, he was like a stranger to Xiao Chen, and a voice in his heart was stirring, "Cao Mengde!" The prince is so gracious, you... Can you afford it? β
Suddenly, Cao Cao turned around suddenly! However, he was caught by Xiahoudun, "Mengde!" Don't miss the opportunity, lose it again! Are you willing? Don't you want to be able to sit at the same table with the prince one day and discuss the world's major affairs? β
Hearing this, Cao Cao's pupils shrank, and then he laughed!
After Cao Cao and Xiahoudun left, there were only more than 9,000 soldiers left in Lujiang, and now they are all arranged on the city tower!
"Xiao Lang... Why do you want Cao Cao... Mu Guiying didn't understand, especially the 60,000 troops, without the 60,000 troops, could Lujiang still be able to keep it?
"Baby! Cao Cao is not something that people can control, he is a dragon, and he has to soar in the sky and earth to exert his value! I have 60,000 troops with him, and then I give money and food, which can be regarded as a good fate! Maybe it will come in handy one day? β
Mu Guiying still didn't understand, "I think Cao Cao is a very ambitious person, he has ambition, if one day he grows up, he may not abide by what he said today, after all... I'm afraid that no one in Lujiang wants to get it now! β
"Daughter-in-law! Rest assured, he will not be my enemy! β
"Oh? Why? β
Xiao Chen showed a meaningful smile: "Because he is ambitious!" β
The gate of Lujiang City was closed, the people were still as usual, everything was not affected by this war, and they had an extreme sense of security within such a tall city wall!
But it was said that after the Yellow Turban thieves gathered in Yingchuan, Zhang Jiao came to Yingchuan in person, and when he saw Lujiang City with his own eyes... "Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen! Who are you? Such a city ... It's prohibitive!! β
