Chapter 987: Villain
Liu Lan was heartbroken, and said: "Zibu Gong has the talent to help the world, but he is willing to be a hidden world, teaching and educating people, don't you know that the people of the world have already been ruined, and the two states of Yuyan are even more ten rooms and nine empty, Lan only hates to be able to catch the right, and can not set things right, and straighten out the Han room. I know that since ancient times, the virtuous and virtuous chose the Lord to serve, if Mr. Zibu went to Xiaopei to take a look first, whether he was willing to go out when he was poured, Lan would never force it, what so? ”
Liu Lan finished speaking, and said everything that should be said in his chest and what should not be said in one breath, happy, not to mention how refreshing, although these words are a little intense, but this is also a way to do it, if he didn't come up with such a trick before entering the house, he would play a big game first and then raise it, hoping to make Zhang Zhao change his mind, what else can he do? But judging from the current results, this time it's really ****, not to mention making him change his mind, it is estimated that he has gone to the planing room to chop his heart with a boning knife.
Alas, this time it was completely offended by Zhang Zhao, instead of waiting for others to pick people up, it was better to take the initiative to leave, just about to say goodbye, I didn't want Zhang Zhao's hands to tremble and stand up, and unexpectedly gave him a disciple gift.
Over the years, Zhang Zhao has been looking for the root cause of the loneliness of family learning, and his old friends for many years have been silent, and even if he reflects, it is difficult to find the crux of it. Today's appearance of Liu Lan can be regarded as completely breaking the window paper of this family study, so that he finally has the courage to face the reason for the decline of family school. At this moment, instead of blaming Liu Lan, he respectfully gave him a disciple gift to show his gratitude.
Is this old boy crazy? Liu Lan looked at his bowed figure and thought incredulously? Maybe it's the heart. Zhang Zhao glanced up, not to mention how gloomy, like an evil spirit, he was startled, this look is definitely to stabilize himself first and then stun me alive, persecuting the delusional Liu Lan If it weren't for the dragon slaying knife in his hand and Zhang Fei's presence of words, he would have pulled his legs and ran, and he returned Zhang Zhao with a bright smile on his face, not to mention how unfathomable it feels, as if he is now a hermit master who has come to mention Zhang Zhao. Immediately, the latter became more respectful, and even spoke politely: "Liu Yuanjun, if you didn't clear the clouds today, I was afraid that I would really be like a heavenly person sitting in the dark, and I would never know this saint's avenue for the rest of my life!" ”
"Small meaning, small meaning." Suddenly, Liu Lan reacted, and was pleasantly surprised, and said, "Is Mr. willing, willing to help the people benefit the people?" ”
"Those who watch the country look at the king. Those who watch the army watch the generals. The old man can feel Liu Yuanjun's heart for the people, but before the old man recognizes the master, can the old man be allowed to go to Xiaopei to find out first? ”
"I don't know when Mr. will go, because Guangling still has important matters. So after visiting Mr. Zibu, I'm going to Gwangling! Liu Lan couldn't wait to slap himself, he knew that he wouldn't say much about these words to go to Xiaopei to watch.
It's okay, wait for the envoy to return from Guangling. Zhang is going with the envoy! Later, the two brothers Zhang Zhao and Zhang De held a banquet to entertain Liu Lan and Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fu spent a lot of money to invite the chef of the best restaurant in Pengcheng to cook it himself. During the period, a 'dragon and phoenix stew' was really a must, and the chef was called to ask. Only to learn that this dragon and phoenix will be rumored to be from the hand of Yu Ji (not much to introduce), originally this "dragon and phoenix stew" is called "dragon and phoenix feast", its main ingredient is to use "turtle" (turtle belongs to the water tribe, the head of the dragon water tribe) and pheasant (pheasant belongs to the feather family, the head of the phoenix feather clan), so it is extended to the dragon and phoenix meeting to get the name, is the famous food of Pengcheng world food.
During the period, there is also a roasted fish, it is said that the dagger is specially stored in the belly of the fat fresh fish, and the thorn is taken out when the banquet is invited. Zhuan Zhu completed the task, but the strong man also gave his life under the guard's guards, and the fresh river fish by the skillful knife treatment, rich sauce rehearsal and accurate large 1 ladle carefully grilled fish, was originally a delicacy, coupled with the people at that time hated the bureaucrats for years to invade the Chu State to make the country poor and the people suffered and admired Zhuzhu's wit, bravery and dedication, the fish, the sound is beneficial, the people compete to taste, it has become a sword through the back of the thief, and the delicious historical dishes have been passed down for thousands of years.
Of course, where there are Liu Lan and Zhang Fei, how can there be no wine, and when you come to Pengcheng, you naturally have to drink Pengcheng's famous wine Peigong Wine. Legend has it that Liu Bang often went to Wang Yuan and Wu Zhen in Pei County, of course, they all drank for nothing, and the drinkers became his friends because of his bold personality, but this made the two bosses bitter, **** eat and drink for nothing. But I didn't expect Pei Gong not to come, and the rest of the drinkers didn't come, without this Pei Gong, the wine shop was deserted every day, and the wine couldn't be sold, and if he appeared, although he drank for nothing, there were more drinkers who could spend money to drink, and he would make a lot of money; And if Pei Gong does not come, although there is no loss of drinking in vain, but because other drinkers do not come, there will be a lot less income or even no profit on the day! So, the two families no longer asked Liu Bang for credit, and successively burned the wine account dedicated to Liu Bang in front of him. He also respectfully invited him to come and drink a few more cups. And Liu Bang naturally fully met their 'requirements'. Since then, the business of Wang Yuan and Wu Zhen's family has become more and more prosperous. This incident is not only widely circulated orally among the people, but also recorded in history in black and white. Therefore, after Liu Bang became the emperor, the wine he often drank in the two wine shops was called Pei Gong wine, and the wine he drank in the recent banquet was this wine.
After being full of wine and food, after separating from Zhang De, Zhang Zhao followed Liu Lan to Guangling quickly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Guangling, at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu dug a ditch here, in order to pass through the Jianghuai and compete for hegemony in the Central Plains. Qinzhi County, the Western Han Dynasty placed Guangling State, and the Eastern Han Dynasty was changed to Guangling County, with Guangling County as the governing place.
Guan Yu got Liu Lan's hint before setting off, and sent Cao Bao to lead the headquarters as the vanguard and take the lead in opening Guangling, but if he wanted to enter Guangling, the first thing was to lay down Xiaxiang County, the gateway of Guangling, but the strength of the garrison in Xiaxiang County was definitely beyond the imagination of Cao Bao, Xu Tan and Zhang Xu, and the Danyang army launched several waves of offensives in a row, but finally had to hate Xiaxiang County.
Xiaxiang County's repeated attacks made the three of them frown. But the more important point is that they all saw that Liu Lan was still borrowing a knife to kill people, but it could be seen that it was returned. To retain strength, you have to wait to enter the hinterland of Guangling, and as for eating deflated in Xiaxiang County. It will only give Liu Lan more words to relieve the power of the three of them.
Yesterday's day of intense attacks were carried out under the command of Xu Tan and Zhang Zhen, but the successive failures finally forced Cao Bao out, although the defender Cao Bao did not know the head of the city, but he knew the soldiers very well, no matter where there was a loophole or a problem in the city tower of Xia Xiang, he could always find a way to solve it at the first time.
And what's even more unbelievable is that under that young face, he was born with an old heart, no matter how Xu Tan and Zhang Zhen designed, they were always unmoved. Just blindly defend, never change defense to offense!
In this way, not only Xu Tan and Zhang Xu, but also Cao Bao frowned, with a series of waves of attacks that ended in failure again, Cao Bao, who had exhausted the organs, had to suspend the attack and plan how to end next, after all, there was not much time left for him, and Guan Yu's Chinese army would rush to Xiaxiang County before dark at the latest.
This time he attacked Guangling. Cao Bao is also desperate, he not only wants Liu Lan to see that his role is not only to contain the Mi Chen family, but also his military literacy has been three military lifeliness, as for the former. He may become an outcast at any time, but the existence of the latter is the guarantee that he will always be safe and sound, and if Liu Lan gives birth to the idea that the Danyang Army in his hands is nothing more than yes. Then his end is not far off!
This is the most critical purpose, though. But the more important point is Zhenrong, a former close friend. Today's mortal enemy, of course, he hopes to be able to slash him with his own hands, so no matter what the purpose, he has to take Xia Xiang County no matter what, only to take Xia Xiang County, then Huaiyin will not be far away, even if it is a turtle in Guangling County, he has to be nervous, if he can force him to the north (department) of Guang (Ling County), he can have many excuses, and this is the only way to preserve strength, otherwise to attack a strong city like Guangling County, I am afraid that there will not be many people in these Danyang troops around him who can return to Xuzhou City at that time!
"Attack again!" Cao Bao gritted his teeth and said, no matter what, today will take Xia Xiangxian before Guan Yu arrives!
Looking at the rock-solid Xiaxiang County Zhang Zhen refused for the first time, and said: "You can't fight anymore, the strength of the defense of Xiaxiang County is definitely not something that our Danyang army can capture, why don't you wait for Guan Yu to arrive, gather the army and attack it in one go!" ”
Xu Tan also had a sad face, and sighed and persuaded again and again: "General, Lao Zhang, what he said is right, in less than a day, the Danyang army that died in Xiaxiang County reached as many as 1,000 people, if it could be captured, it would have been captured long ago, and now it is to send all 5,000 people to attack the city, except for more deaths, it is impossible to capture Xiaxiang County!" ”
"General, can you really bear to look at our brothers, all those old brothers are dying in Xiaxiang County?" In the end, the two spoke almost in unison.
Cao Bao's heart was shocked, and he was moved by the words of the two, and his heart began to waver in continuing to attack Xiaxia Xiangxian, but at this moment, the small colonel under the battalion entered the account and said: "The leading general has arrived, urge General Cao to go to the front of the village to greet him!" ”
The body instantly seemed to be stripped of its cocoon, and Cao Bao, who was soft enough to be on the main seat, sighed: "Little Xiaxiang County, let me wait an inch, alas......"
"Xiaxiang County was founded in the Qin Dynasty, the previous dynasty was changed to Wei County, Emperor Wu Feng Changshan Xian Wang Shaozi Liu Shang was the king of Surabaya, the king was located in Wei County, and then abolished Wei County to set up Xia Xiang County......"
Chen Fengzheng, the commander of the account, was explaining the county chronicles of Xiaxiang County to Guan Yu, Guan Yu nodded from time to time, and led his generals to look at the Xiaxiang County Town Tower in front of him.
The city walls of Xiaxiang County are low, especially after a day of onslaught by the Danyang army, which can be seen everywhere in dilapidation.
The mottled gaps in the city wall were sprinkled with coagulated red blood, scratches left by various blades, and a corpse lying next to a ladder still standing under the city wall, piles of corpses like hills told the tragedy of the siege battle, the facial features of the face burned by the boiling oil were distorted, the bent body hit by the rolling wood, the chest and head that were crushed and smashed under the thunder stone, you don't need to think about it to know how tragic the siege war was.
But it was only one place, with feathered arrows stuck in all directions around it, long-range bed crossbows piercing chests, and corpses that had fallen from the sky and twisted into a ball all around.
Is it Cao Bao, their siege is not good, or is Xiaxiang County's defense too strong? Guan Yu doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know, what he wants to see is the result, if he can't even capture Xiaxiang County, then Guangling and Huaiyin County can't be captured by the Danyang Army!
At this time, the three of Cao Bao had already come to the front of the village, bowed down, and said, "The last general has seen the leading general!" ”
Guan Yu, who snorted coldly, said in a cold voice: "Who are the guards of Xiaxiang County?" Is the defender a county soldier or a Zhenrong Danyang army? ”
"The defenders have never seen it, and there are at least 2,000 county soldiers and 1,000 Danyang troops in the defenders!" Cao Bao suppressed the anger in his heart, if Liu Lan gave him a look, he could only endure it, but what kind of thing is Guan Yu, just a little captain, if it wasn't for wartime and not weekdays, Cao Bao would eat him? But now that the three armies are outside, the military orders are like mountains, Guan Yu, as Liu Lan's leading general, commands the three armies, and holds the power of life and death.
Xu Tan stepped forward and said with a sad face: "The leading general, the last general and others have done their best, with 6,000 troops to attack 3,000 enemies defending the city, no matter how many brothers go up, it will be sent for nothing, watching the corpses of old brothers fall under the city, I am really sad to be the main general, fortunately, the leading general has arrived, as long as the three armies move together, Xiaxiang County is the king of the eight covers, and it can also knock a hole out!" ”
Guan Yu nodded, and acquiesced to Xu Tan's statement, the method of attacking the city, five to attack, ten to encircle, the probability of one to five and one to two, not to mention the tragic hand-to-hand combat of attacking the city, even if you want to attack the city, you can only rely on human lives to pile it up.
But even if it is to attack the city, take the ladder to make the city tree, then you still have to rely on people to pile ah, not to mention the difficulty of hitting the city gate, just say that the city tower also pays attention to a little breakthrough, blooming on all sides, can not gain a foothold in the city tower, let the follow-up troops follow up and continue to expand this, and finally make the point change the face, is the rhythm of the siege, but now it is not said that it is to climb the city tower to occupy a foothold, that is, it is difficult to climb the city tower.
Such a defense not only depends on the combat strength of the city defense army, but also depends on the command of the defending general, and it is obvious that the young general under Zhenrong in front of him is well versed in Zhang Chi's way, he temporarily made Cao Bao's troops unable to enter the city, and at the same time deliberately relaxed the garrison, so that Cao Bao's Danyang army can climb the city tower from the middle, and then the defenders who climb the city tower will be attacked like a tide.
This kind of defense can not only save a lot of weapons to defend the city, but also allow the defenders to have more time to rest, with such a general who is well versed in the law of defending the city, it is reasonable that Cao Bao and they can't capture Xiaxiang County. (To be continued.) )
