Ten days later, Guan Yu returned to the camp in Wuzhong County with the reinforcements sent by Wang San, whom he met halfway, and at this time Wu Liang also brought thousands of new recruits recruited by Liu Yu.

Seeing Guan Yu coming back so early, Liu Yi couldn't help but ask.

Knowing that these people were sent by Wang San and Cheng Yu in advance, Liu Yi's heart warmed. Hurriedly called the adjutant general of Wang San's army.

"How are General Wang and Mr. Wang doing? Is Zhuoxian okay? Liu Yi asked a little anxiously.

When the deputy general heard this, he told Liu Yi and others about the recent events in Zhuo County, and when he said that Cheng Yu recruited troops in the county in the name of Liu Yi and repaired the city on a large scale, Liu Yi nodded and said with relief, "With Mr. Cheng here, Zhuo County is worry-free!" ”

Xi Zhicai and others also nodded yes when they heard this.

After chatting about homely things, Liu Yi arranged for Guan Yu, Wu Liang and others to go down to rest, after all, they were working all the way, and the soldiers were also a little tired at this time.

After dinner, Liu Yi and the others sat around the brazier in the big tent and chatted. When it came to Gongsun Zhan, everyone was a little depressed, although there were more than 10,000 people to replenish, but in the face of the enemy who could not hold out, Liu Yi still did not have much confidence in his heart.

After discussing for a long time, Liu Yi decided to attack the city again the day after tomorrow.

......

At this time, the news of Guan Yu and Wu Liang coming back with troops had reached the ears of Gongsun Zhan, and after learning the news, Gongsun Zhan not only was not afraid but became more and more excited.

"Guan Jing, are you sure Guan Yu brought nearly 10,000 horses?" Although he had already asked once, Gongsun Chan still couldn't help but want to confirm it.

Guan Jing in the hall nodded yes when he heard this.

"Great!" Under the dim oil lamp, Gongsun Zhan's smile was a little hideous and terrifying.

"Tian Kai, Shan Jing, the two of you will immediately take people to the city, I think that Liu Yi is afraid that he will not be able to hold his breath, he must be strictly defended in the past few days, and he must not give the enemy a chance!" Gongsun Chan shouted and commanded.

Tian Kai and the others nodded in response when they heard this, and then ran out of the lobby to prepare.

As soon as the two left, Guan Jing in the house couldn't help but ask, "General, the enemy is strong, do we need to ask General Zou for help?" ”

Gongsun Chan sneered when he heard this, "No, what I want is the current result." ”

After speaking, Gongsun Zhan said again, "Zou Dan is gone, and the entire east of Youbeiping will fall into the hands of Qiu Liju!" At that time, even if we kill Liu Yu and Liu Yi, it will be meaningless, don't look at that Qiu Liju is polite to us now, that's because we have a common enemy, and when the enemy is eliminated, that guy will definitely turn around and bite us. ”

It is said that Gongsun Zhan left Zou Dan that day, and on the surface, he said that he would take over Qiu Liju, but in fact, he was competing with Qiu Liju for the city near Youbeiping, after all, the two armies worked together to attack the county seats, and the benefits could not be given to Qiu Liju alone.

Guan Jing didn't think about it when he heard this, so he took over a sycophant: "The general is wise, and his subordinates are so impressed!" ”

Gongsun Chan laughed twice when he heard this.

"You kid, I'll compliment me!" Having said that, but looking at Gongsun Zhan's expression, you can know that Gongsun Chan is still complimented by Guan Jing

It's very useful.

......

At this time, in the official palace of Wangdu City under the jurisdiction of Zhongshan State, Zhang Chun's room was also shining with the light of an oil lamp.

"Li You, are you sure that the main force of Zhuo County has been cleaned?" Zhang Chun looked at a lieutenant general named Li You in front of him and asked.

"General Hui, this matter is true!" Li You replied respectfully.

After getting the confirmation, Zhang Chun picked the wick with the dagger in his hand, and under the firelight, Zhang Chun laughed slyly.

"Tell the soldiers to do what they plan at noon tonight!"

"Yes!"

......

Two days later, Liu Yi and the others came to the end of the city again, looking at the enemy army waiting on the city tower, Liu Yi was annoyed.

After explaining a few words, Zhang Fei and the others began to attack from the front according to the previous plan.

It is said that the gate of the city is four or five meters high, and the two wooden doors are extremely heavy, Zhang Fei took one hundred and ten people to use the battering ram to impact the city gate for a long time without breaking the city gate, during which Zhang Fei was also grazed by the stray arrows under the city, and was slightly injured.

The offensive and defensive battle between the two sides lasted for about two hours, and the losses on both sides were not small, but in comparison, the losses on Liu Yi's side were greater, and after several waves of fierce sieges, Liu Yi's side lost nearly 5,000 people.

Although most of the people lost were Wu Liang's subordinates, looking at the soldiers who kept falling down the ladder, in desperation, Liu Yi had no choice but to accept Xi Zhicai's suggestion, and Mingjin withdrew his troops.

This time in vain, it really made Liu Yi a little anxious, although he had faced a situation that was even more difficult than now, but at that time, the opponents were all rabble who were not to worry about, and he was the defender at that time, and there was no time limit, as long as he could hold it.

Now not only is time pressing, but the opponent is still the battle-hardened Gongsun Zhan, for Liu Yi, who has never attacked the city, his heart is full of frustration at this time.

After returning to the camp, Liu Yi returned to the tent alone and began to meditate.

"Damn, there have been so many famous battles in ancient and modern times, I don't believe that none of them can give me some hints!" After taking off his helmet, Liu Yi sat on the bed and began to recall the knowledge handed over by the history teacher in his previous life.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Yi didn't come up with a good solution, after all, he studied engineering in his previous life, and Liu Yi knew very little about literature and history, and even if he knew some, it was trivial, which would not help the current situation at all.

For several days, Liu Yi was meditating, except for solving personal problems, Liu Yi hardly paid the bill, which made Xi Zhicai and others worried, and they were afraid that Liu Yi would get sick again because of this.

On this day, the weather was exceptionally sunny, Liu Yi went out to release the water after thinking hard to no avail, and after releasing the water, he just lifted his pants and happened to see Xi Zhicai coming from the side.

Xi Zhicai has also been thinking hard about how to break the enemy these days, and at this time he is concentrating on thinking about things, so that he walked past Liu Yi and didn't find Liu Yi.

"Brother Zhicai!" Liu Yi greeted Xi Zhicai loudly.

The drama in front of him hurriedly replied when he heard the words

Head.

I saw that Xi Zhicai was unkempt and tired at this time, and at a glance, I knew that Xi Zhicai's life was not easy these days.

After seeing Liu Yi, Xi Zhicai hurriedly stepped forward.

"I've seen the lord!"

Liu Yi looked at Xi Zhicai's appearance and felt a little distressed.

"Brother Zhicai, you have to pay attention to your body, breaking the enemy is a small matter, and your brother's body is important, if you kill Gongsun Zan and then tire your brother out of a bad way, then I won't die at a loss!" Liu Yi quipped.

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai's heart warmed, and he looked at Liu Yi and said, "I learned that the lord has been stuffed in the tent for the past few days, and he has forgotten to sleep and eat to break the enemy's method, how dare we as subordinates be lazy!" ”

Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Liu Yi showed a long-lost smile.

"yes, it's really worried about me these days!"

After speaking, Liu Yi grabbed Xi Zhicai's shoulder.

"Let's go, hang out with me, relax and relax!" With that, the two of them walked to the side of the camp.

It is said that in the past few days, because Liu Yi was thinking about countermeasures behind closed doors, Zhang Fei and others were afraid of disturbing Liu Yi, so they lived separately with Liu Yi.

I saw that Zhang Fei was sitting outside the big tent at this time, and Cui Si was directing beside him, and the two of them were very busy, and they didn't notice the arrival of Liu Yi and Xi Zhicai at all.

"Big brother, you're a little small, bigger up, the bigger the better!" Cui Si pointed to the object in Zhang Fei's hand and shouted.

Hearing Cui Si's words, I saw Zhang Fei stop his movements, and scolded unwillingly, "Come on~ You come, damn it, don't you know that you are blindly commanding there, you try it!" ”

Saying that, Zhang Fei stuffed the thing in his hand into Cui Si's hand, and Cui Si saw that Zhang Fei was not angry, so he picked up the thing in his hand and tinkered with it.

Liu Yi and Xi Zhicai were curious when they saw this, and hurriedly went up to take a look.

"What are you two doing there?" Liu Yi walked behind the two and shouted.

Zhang Fei and the others were startled by Liu Yi's shouting, and in shock, the thing in Cui Si's hand also fell to the ground.

The two hurriedly turned around to look, and when they saw that it was Liu Yi, they stood up in a panic.

"I've seen the lord!"

Liu Yi didn't pay attention to the two, but walked behind Cui Si and picked up the things that fell on the ground.

After Liu Yi saw clearly what the two were tinkering with, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"What's the matter? Tired of being a general, want to change to a carpenter? Liu Yi held a dagger in one hand and a half-carved wooden lump in the other, and scolded the two angrily.

Hearing Liu Yi's words, Zhang Fei and the others lowered their heads in shame.

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Liu Yi checked the things in his hand, and said to the two of them, "This guy is still presentable, what is it at this moment?" Pregnant pigs? ”

As soon as he heard Liu Yi say that it was a pig, Zhang Fei's face turned red all of a sudden, but Cui Si on the side couldn't help laughing.

"Lord, this is a horse!" Zhang Fei whispered a little embarrassed.

Seeing Zhang Fei's appearance, he looked at the pig-like one in his hand again

Pig, like a wood carving of a horse and a flying horse, Liu Yi is angry and funny.

"It's going to be on fire, you two still have time to play carving here! Don't you two generals want to do it anymore? Liu Yi pretended to be annoyed and scared the two.

Seeing Liu Yi angry, Cui Si on the side hurriedly stood up to defend himself and Zhang Fei.

"Lord, don't you know, my eldest brother and I listened to those later soldiers tell me that San'er's wife is about to give birth recently, my eldest brother and I are thinking, after all, we are also the uncles of the child, why don't we have to prepare some gifts!" Cui Si said and glanced at the wood carving in Liu Yi's hand with his eyes.

As soon as Liu Yi heard Cui Si say that the wood carving was a gift for Wang San's child, he no longer blamed the two in his heart.

"I said you two are too picky, are you, just fooling our future eldest nephew with this thing?"

Hearing this, Cui Si knew that Liu Yi was no longer angry, so he hurriedly showed a flattering smile and leaned in.

"Lord, don't you know, this is not an ordinary wood carving!"

Saying that, Cui Si took the wood carving in Liu Yi's hand, pointed to the wood carving under the big belly of the horse and said, "Lord, you see, we have dug a hole here, and the inside of the horse's belly has been hollowed out, and then you only need to open a groove on the horse's back, and then plug the hole on the horse's belly, and you can put a lot of coins in it!" ”

After speaking, Cui Si raised his head proudly, "Whether it is living a life or marching and fighting, the good quality of being diligent and thrifty is a must!" ”

After listening to Cui Si's introduction, Liu Yi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, "Damn!" Isn't this a piggy bank? Experts of later generations must know that the piggy bank was first invented by these two goods, and they must not die of depression! ”

Liu Yi snatched the wood carving from Cui Si's hand and began to look at it for a moment, and suddenly a trace of inspiration crossed by.

"There it is!"

......

At this time, in Zhuoxian County, after learning that his wife said that his stomach was uncomfortable, Wang San hurriedly came down from the city tower and ran to the house anxiously.

"Squeak~"

After the sound of the door being pushed open, a simple-looking middle-aged man walked out of Wang San's room, and Wang San also happened to come to the courtyard at this time.

After seeing Lang Zhong, Wang San hurriedly greeted him.

"How?" Wang San asked anxiously to Na Langzhong.

Na Langzhong bent down and respectfully bowed to Wang San.

"Back to the general, Madame's pulse is stable, and there is no big problem!"

Hearing this, Wang San was still a little worried and asked, "Then why is it uncomfortable?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled when he heard this, and said, "Congratulations to the general, according to the old man's diagnosis, Madame may not be able to give birth in half a month!" ”

Wang San was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered someone to reward Na Langzhong, and then carefully pushed open the door and walked in.

At this time, Wang San's wife was waiting for several maids, lying on the bed to rest, and after seeing Wang San come in, several maids retreated with interest.

After a few maids left, Wang San returned to his previous appearance and came to Wang's side with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, madam, I just heard from the doctor that Mrs. will be able to give birth to a baby in less than half a month!"

Look

With the happy look on her husband's face in front of her, Wang couldn't help but scold, "Death! ”

Just when Wang San and his wife were lingering in the room, suddenly there was a report from the next person outside the door.

"General, Mr. Cheng said that he has something to discuss with the general!"

Hearing this, Wang San glanced at his wife puzzled. Wang looked at Wang San and said gently, "Go quickly, Mr. must have something important to call you!" ”

Wang San nodded when he heard this, then gently kissed Wang's forehead and turned around and walked out of the room.

As soon as Wang San walked out of his compound, he saw Cheng Yu rubbing his hands and pacing in front of the courtyard gate, and when he saw Wang San coming out, Cheng Yu hurriedly ran up.

"San'er, it's not good, Zhang Chun is coming!"
