Zheng Liang didn't mention what he wanted Guan Yu to say in the fighting room for the time being, first said that since Zhuge Song captured Lu Xun, he still left Shana to guard Yidu, and since he and Shamoke commanded 10,000 troops with Lu Xun and thousands of prisoners into Yidao. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info romance debuted

When LĂź Meng sent troops from Jiangling for a few days, and reported that LĂź Meng had surrounded the wheat city like an iron bucket, he ordered the soldiers to bring only dry food, walk day and night, and only use the moonlight to hurry, and arrived at the city of Gangneung in two nights.

Besides, after Zhu Ran went to Lu Meng, he knew that he didn't have his own share in the great work, so he couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied. In addition, there is Lu Xun in the west, Lu Meng in the north, and Sun Quan's army in the east is about to arrive, so he simply no longer closed his door as Lu Meng did before, and the whole city was under martial law, and began to allow merchants and peasants to enter and leave the city every day, focusing on restoring commerce in the city, and began to plan for the long-term operation of this place in the future of Soochow, so that after Sun Quan arrived, he could get Sun Quan's praise.

Therefore, when Zhu Ran's guard posts all over the city found the barbarian soldiers led by Zhuge Song, Zhu Ran was surprised, and hurriedly ordered the city to be closed, and when the army was gathered on the city wall to guard, the army had not been fully assembled on the city wall, and Zhuge Song had already led the troops to the city.

Seeing the Wu soldiers lined up in a panic on the city, Shamoke couldn't help but complain a little about why Zhuge Song didn't bring the siege equipment captured from the Wu soldiers at the beginning, so that he would have a great chance of winning the siege by taking advantage of the situation. Zhuge Song smiled and waved his hand: "Don't complain, the king doesn't complain, the transportation of siege equipment is inconvenient, the time is precious at the moment, and it can't be wasted. ”

Looking at such a strong and majestic Gangneung City, Shamoke was very unconvinced. But thinking that he didn't believe Zhuge Song too many times before, he was finally convinced, so he didn't question it anymore this time, so he had to say: "Okay, I'll just wait for the city to be broken and receive the reward." ”

Zhuge Song smiled slightly, neither ordered people to set up the village, nor ordered the siege of the city with cloud ladders, until the Wu army on the city was already in place, then one person urged the horse forward, stopped outside the range of the archers on the city, and angrily raised his hand and pointed at Mi Fang, who was a little embarrassed on the city wall, and shouted: "Shameless villain!" The king of Hanzhong treats you well! General Guan was entrusted with a heavy task before leaving, and now he has turned his back on the Lord and surrendered to Wu, see my soldiers break through the city, and send you to Quanxia to meet Mrs. Mi, and see what face you have! ”

Mi Fang, who said a few words, was full of shame, but she couldn't quibble. Mi Fang originally wanted to say that he could only surrender because of the strength of Wu's army and Guan Yu's distance in Fancheng at that time. But now there are 10,000 troops outside Zhuge Song, and there are few soldiers in the city, if he says so, he is afraid that Zhu Ran will suspect him repeatedly, so he will slaughter him from the city wall first. I had to reply forcefully: "Guan Yu is stubborn and self-serving, leaving only 3,000 people with me, who cares about my life or death, after Liu Bei's sister died, I was not as good as before, now that things have come to this, it is useless to say more, if you want to attack the city, you and I will fight to the death!" ”

Zhuge Song sneered: "Now that the LĂź Meng army is in Maicheng, it will take a few days to rescue him, and you also know that although Jiangling is strong, the city wall is vast, and it is difficult to defend it with few soldiers." How can I be stupid enough to only attack the West Gate, meet today just to let you go back to the house to prepare for the future, although I was in Jiangling City before the king of Hanzhong entered Sichuan, I have already studied the city defense secret road very clearly, the general does not even have to fight the camp today, and the soldiers will eat first, and they will enter the city from all sides to capture you after dark, and you will be crushed and ashes directly without going through the king of Hanzhong! Although the tone was relaxed, the content really made Mi Fang shudder.

Zhu Ran in the city was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Mi Fang, Mi Fang's face turned pale, no matter how hard he tried to remember, he still kept shaking his head to say that he didn't know that there was such a thing as a secret passage in the city.

Outside the city, Zhuge Song finished speaking, he returned to the horse and ordered the people to retreat two miles to boil water and make rice, and the smoke of the cooking was everywhere for a while, and the barbarians had eaten enough dry food in the past two days, and thousands of people were divided into dozens of teams to go hunting in the surrounding wilderness, and soon they returned with a full load, and the smell of meat was permeated.

But in the city, Zhu Ran was so worried that he couldn't even eat, and on the one hand, the soldiers were scattered with the four gates, and on the other hand, hundreds of people were divided into the city to look for a secret passage that could lead to the outside of the city. said to Mi Fang with a gloomy face: "General Mi, the matter has come to this, if there is really a secret way, you should say it quickly!" If Zhuge Song really breaks the city, even if I don't turn my face and be ruthless at that time, you fall into the hands of Zhuge Song, and you don't need to say anything before the end! ”

"This, this, I have been in Jiangling City longer than Zhuge Song! I really haven't heard of a secret passage in this city leading to the outside of the city! Mi Fang hurriedly explained that since he surrendered to Lu Meng, although Lu Meng treated him with great courtesy, he was gracious and powerful, and after rewarding two hundred taels of gold, on the grounds of unstable people, he turned most of the weapons he originally commanded three thousand people into empty-handed pacifiers to pacify the residents from house to house, leaving only three hundred people responsible for protecting his safety.

Zhu Ran looked at the barbarians outside the city who still didn't have the slightest intention of camping, and became more and more convinced that there was really a secret passage in the city leading to the outside of the city. But now is the time to employ people, after listening to Zhuge Song's attitude towards Mi Fang just now, Zhu Ran is willing to believe that even if there is a secret way, Mi Fang really doesn't know. The city wall of Jiangling City is very large, Zhuge Song only has 10,000 people, and Zhu Ran does not believe that he wants to attack the city from all sides. However, the south gate is close to the west gate, so Zhu Ran sent 700 people to Mi Fang, and Mi Fang's original 300 people went to the south gate to hold on, the north gate and the east gate were divided into 500 people, and he took 2,000 people to guard the west gate, and the remaining more than 1,000 people were all over the key points in the city, so as not to have a secret way, and they could report it in time. As for the messengers sent to Maicheng and the public security to ask for help, they had already been sent out shortly after Zhuge Song arrived in the city.

It soon got dark, and the barbarians outside Jiangling City began to light torches, and as Zhu Ran expected, from a distance, the number of torches going to the south gate was far less than that of the west gate, and the barbarians began to dig in the place outside the range of the archers of the west gate.

Zhu Ran couldn't help but laugh secretly, and thought to himself: "Could it be that what Zhuge Song said during the day is so true, and at night he is going to dig a tunnel?" Even if I don't send troops to stop it, at this rate, even if I dig until dawn, I won't be able to dig under the city! Thinking of Zhuge Song's hatred for Mi Fang in the city during the day, he couldn't help but start laughing at Zhuge Song Although he is now very famous, he is still too young to hold his breath. Thinking of this, he simply stopped watching the barbarians digging a ditch outside the city, only let the adjutant general watch, sat on the chair in the back, and recuperated first.

What Zhu Ran didn't know was that far away from the West Gate, Shamoke was gnawing on a deer's leg at this time, drinking wine, looking at the city tower where Zhu Ran was and laughing. Shamoke laughed and thought: "Zhu Ran, this guy must be laughing in the city now, but tonight I have to sleep in the Taishou Mansion in the city, if Zhuge Song guy dares to let me sleep in the wild, he won't want to raise his head in front of me in the future!" ”
