In the north of the city, the Han army camp.

In the imperial tent, Liu Bei was standing with his hands in his hands, looking at the map hanging on the screen in a daze.

His gaze was always fixed on the word "Dao", and after staring at it for a long time, he sighed.

Liu Bei was very annoyed.

His 110,000-strong army has been storming the city for more than ten days, paying thousands of soldiers dead and wounded, but it is still in vain.

The 50,000 Wei army guarded this city as impregnable, even if he was assisted by Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng, he couldn't shake the fortified city in front of him.

And Nanguang City sent back news that Su Zhe had besieged Meng Huo and his remnants in Nanguang City, and would launch an attack at any time.

Once Nanguang City falls and the barbarian army is destroyed, Su Zhe's 100,000 army will be able to go north to join the defenders of Yudao City.

What's more, Liu Bei also received news that the latest 50,000 reinforcements from the Wei State had also entered the front line of Jiangzhou and were rushing towards Yandao City, and the number of soldiers and horses of the Wei army reached 200,000.

The army of 200,000 is twice as much as the Han army he entered Sichuan!

Liu Bei's face was gloomy, his brows were deep, and he fell into gloom.

Fa Zheng behind him could naturally see Liu Bei's worries, so he was relieved: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, then Meng Shu still has nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, at least he can last for a month, we still have a chance." ”

Liu Bei's expression was slightly relieved, and his eyes looked at Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, when will you be able to use the Qimen technique of calling the wind and rain to help me break through the Yandao City." ”

At this time, Liu Bei could only hope that Zhuge Liang would use his Taoist skills and the power of wind, rain, thunder and lightning to imitate Su Zhe to break the city.

"The minister can indeed make Qimen Dunjia and call for wind and rain, but it's just ......" Zhuge Liang's face showed a trace of embarrassment.

Fa Zheng said: "Prime Minister Kong Ming, since you have such a ability, why should you be stingy, you should use it when you should use it." ”

Zhuge Liang hesitated for a while, and sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty, you don't know, the change of wind and rain is the will of heaven, and the minister's use of Qimen's technique to change the will of heaven is tantamount to going against the sky, and every time he uses it, he will lose the minister's longevity, so the minister doesn't dare to use it casually." ”

Loss of longevity?

Liu Bei looked shocked and said hurriedly: "I didn't expect that there would be such a constraint, the prime minister has not used it a few times before, why haven't you heard the prime minister mention it?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly: "The first few times I made it, firstly, it was a matter of life and death for His Majesty, and the minister could only use it at the expense of his own longevity." Well, it's not that every time you use it, you will lose your longevity. ”

Liu Bei was stunned and puzzled: "Prime Minister, I can't understand what you say." ”

Zhuge Liang explained: "The minister's strange technique, as long as it is not against the sky, but following the trend, will not damage Yangshou." ”

Liu Bei's eyes were dazed, and he still couldn't understand.

Zhuge Liang continued to explain: "Let's give an example, for example, it is the end of spring now, and it will not snow at all under normal circumstances. ”

"On the other hand, if the sky is now cloudy, and there are signs that it is about to rain, but it has not rained for a long time, the minister uses the technique of Qimen to attract rain at this time, which is equivalent to conforming to the time of the day, and will not lose Yangshou."

Liu Bei suddenly realized, and only then did he understand what Zhuge Liang's ability to call the wind and rain was all about.

"In this case, then Su Zhe's unscrupulous call for wind and rain should have been exhausted a long time ago, why is he still alive and moisturized?" Fa Zheng is puzzled.

Liu Bei also suddenly thought of this section, and couldn't help but look at Zhuge Liang again.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "I don't understand this very well, back then I studied under the master of the Lang Evil Pavilion, and my teacher once told me that no matter what kind of Qimen technique, if it is contrary to the natural way of the heavens, it will definitely lose its life." It's just that I don't know who Su Zhe studied from, and he can cast spells at will, without being affected by the loss of Yangshou, I really can't figure it out. ”

Liu Bei and Fa Zheng's expressions were slightly shocked, and their eyes became more and more uncertain.

"Now it's not time for us to talk about the origin of the Su Thief Demon Method, but to think about how to attack Yan Dao City." Guan Yu interrupted everyone's discussion.

Liu Bei's thoughts returned to reality, his eyes looked at Zhuge Liang, and he opened his mouth to ask Zhuge Liang to cast a spell, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.

Now this kind of weather, the sky is clear, and there is no sign that the weather will change, and calling Zhuge Liang to cast a spell is equivalent to making people lose their lives.

He Liu Bei has always boasted of benevolence and righteousness, but now he doesn't care about the lives of his courtiers, just to help him attack the city, how can he open his mouth.

Liu Bei didn't speak, and Zhuge Liang naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to sacrifice his yang longevity, after all, it hadn't reached the point where he had to use Qimen's technique.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, aren't we already rushing to build the Divine Thunder Cannon, as long as we can build enough Divine Thunder Cannon before the Su Thieves capture Nanguang, we will have a chance to blast through the Yudao City." Zhuge Liang smiled and said with relief.

Liu Bei suddenly perked up and said happily: "Yes, I almost forgot, we still have the siege weapon of the Divine Thunder Cannon!" ”

At the beginning, Liu Bei witnessed with his own eyes how the divine thunder cannon blasted through the fortified city of Yiling.

In that battle, he almost opened the door to Jingzhou, but it was only because Su Zhe arrived in time that he fell short.

The city in front of you is not stronger than Yiling, as long as you can build more than a hundred divine thunder cannons, are you afraid that you won't be able to collapse the city wall?

It's just that the design of this divine thunder cannon is complex and exquisite, and it takes extremely time to build, so so far, only more than 30 guns have been built, and it will take at least seven or eight days to build 100 guns.

"In seven or eight days, Meng Huo should be able to hold on......" Liu Bei muttered to himself, trusting Meng Shu's strength.

At this moment, the curtain was lifted, and Chen Zhixing hurriedly broke into the big tent, his face full of solemnity.

He took a few steps forward, arched his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the latest urgent news from the south, that Su thief has broken through Nanguang City, killed Meng Shu, and wiped out 20,000 barbarian troops, and now he has waved his army north to come to Yandao City!" ”

A bolt from the blue!

In the big tent, everyone's faces changed suddenly, and their expressions froze into a moment of consternation.

Liu Bei's pale face was immediately shocked.

Fa Zheng, Guan Yu and other military generals were all stunned, even Zhuge Liang frowned.

There was a silence for a while, and then there was an uproar in the imperial tent.

Liu Bei's face turned pale, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Meng Shucai has been besieged for less than ten days, how could he be broken by Su thieves so quickly, this is too fast!" ”

Chen Zhi had no choice but to tell the whole story of how Su Zhe made a divisive plan, how Zhu Rong was forced to surrender to Wei, opened the door and stole the city to lead the Wei army into the city, and finally captured Nanguang City.

The shock and confusion on Liu Bei's face disappeared little by little, his brows became deeper and deeper, and he sat down slowly, stunned.

At this moment, Liu Bei suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

It was a kind of hard work, and all methods could not help Su Zhe's helplessness.

Zhuge Liang took the letter in Chen Zhi's hand, and after reading it in detail, he couldn't help but sigh: "That Zhu Rong was Meng Shu's fiancée, and he was able to be lured by Su Zhe to surrender, this thief's methods are really unpredictable." ”

Even Zhuge Liang, who is a dignified unicorn, also showed admiration and admiration for Su Zhe, a sleeping dragon.

Syllable!

Liu Bei's fist slammed on the case, and he scolded hatefully: "Meng Shou is a waste, he can't even look at his own woman, it's really a waste, and it's ruined my whole plan!" ”

Guan Yu and other generals in the account were all indignant and regretful, scolding Meng Shu for being incompetent and scolding Su Zhe for treachery.

Zhuge Liang didn't speak, and let Liu Bei vent his dissatisfaction.

Half an hour later, it wasn't until Liu Bei scolded that Zhuge Liang sighed: "The matter has come to this, now Su Zhe's main force is about to return to the division, and the 50,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangzhou will also arrive. ”
