Now it's not the Spring and Autumn Period, fighting a battle is the same as fighting a group, it's the eldest brother fighting the second brother, and after the fight, he is still peaceful.

Ming said that there can only be one country in the whole of China, and it is just that Zhuge Liang saw that Cao Wei had become a general trend, but Lao Liu wanted to be the emperor again, so he could only retreat and pull Sun Wu into the water, which allowed Shu Han to continue for forty-two years.

For Da Chu, it is only right to dig out a few pieces of meat from Da Han to the greatest extent. What the Central Plains war, the decisive battle in Hebei is just an excuse. The same is true for Dahan.

However, Liu Ting obviously put a lot of troops into Hebei, and the next day, according to the news from the inner line, Liu Ting brought only 10,000 soldiers to the Tiger Prison Pass. On the other hand, the army in Hebei has increased to 100,000, if it weren't for seeing Liu Ting here, I am afraid that Li Ming would be suspicious, and the other party's strategic focus is on Hebei.

"Are the thunderbolts ready?" After Li Ming returned to the camp, he immediately looked towards Chen Heng.

"It's being assembled, and it will be assembled before nightfall tonight!" Chen Heng replied that for this day, he could train the soldiers below for a long time, so that they could be proficient in assembly and operation.

The siege battalion is not an ordinary small army today, and it plays an important role in various armies. Chen Heng's disciples and grandchildren are very mixed in all armies, whether it is positional warfare or siege warfare, the siege camp can play an excellent auxiliary effect.

The thunderbolt cannon is not the kind developed by Liu Ye during the Battle of Guandu in history, but a heavy catapult similar to the Xiangyang cannon. However, the researcher is indeed Liu Ye. Movable catapults have been studied before, Liu Ye entered Shouchun, served as the vice minister of science and technology, on the basis of the original catapult, developed this kind of heavy catapult.

The stone projectiles of this thunderbolt cannon, like the big pumpkins of later generations, will be affected by two rows of soldiers after they are thrown. The key is that the power is not small, ordinary masonry city walls, can not resist at all, unless it is a city wall made of reinforced concrete. It's a pity that there really isn't such a thing these days.

"I remember that last time I almost smashed the gate of the Tiger Prison, and now I am going to collapse the entire Tiger Prison!" Li Ming looked at this Xiongguan with great interest, it was a pity, maybe this battle, it would cease to exist.

"The subordinates must do their best to destroy the Tiger Prison!" Chen Heng immediately expressed his position.

Back at the camp, Li Ming found Guo Jia and Lu Su, the former was his chief of general staff, the chief of more than a hundred staff officers under his command. The latter is a thorn in Yanzhou, and he just took office last year. Lu Su, who is only thirty-two years old this year, can only serve as a county guard according to his resume, but his talent is outstanding, the key is that Yanzhou is the front line, and a capable person is needed to sit in the town, so he successfully ascended to the position.

What Li Ming didn't know was that Lu Su, who was also capable of becoming the commander of a legion, was now completely on the road of civilian officials. Without the military work, Lu Su estimated that he could live longer, and he should not die of illness at the age of 46 as in history.

"Zijing has been in Yanzhou for a year, but what are the difficulties, I happen to be here, and I will help you solve it by the way!" Li Ming looked at Lu Su, he went to Dongcheng County to purchase grain and grass, but he didn't expect to come back after kidnapping.

"Thank Your Majesty for your concern, many of the people of Yanzhou have received the kindness of General Lu, if it were not for General Lu's major repair of water conservancy and advocating the eating of locusts, I am afraid that many of them would not survive. After we got Yanzhou, General Lu was here during this time, and the people took the initiative to cooperate, and it was naturally difficult for the family to make any big moves. Hearing this, Lu Su hurriedly replied, and at the same time did not forget to say a few good words to Lu Bu.

But this is indeed the truth, without the foundation of the people, the family will not be able to stir up the situation in Yanzhou at all. Not to mention that with the entry of the Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Procuratorate, they can only bow their heads and dare not take the lead.

"If there are any difficulties, just mention it, Yanzhou is currently the front line, whether it is from Hanoi or Guanzhong, and even Hebei is under pressure. I originally planned to give Yanzhou and Qingzhou a special budget, so that you can build more fortifications, but Zhang Zhao's stubborn old man actually refused to approve it. Li Ming said angrily.

"Mr. Zibu knows how to be careful with his calculations, and since he thinks it's not necessary, then it shouldn't be necessary. In other words, it is also a trust in the minister. Lu Su smiled and replied.

"Since you have said so, you have to worry about it here in Yanzhou...... Li Ming couldn't continue to say anything when he heard this, so he turned his head and looked at Guo Jia, "How is the situation of the other troops?" ”

As far as the information sent back two days ago, Pang De had already begun to enter the Qinling Mountains and was ready to attack Wuguan at any time; Zhang He's troops have already gone through the horses, and they will go west to attack Shangyong at any time; The southern Mengjie has secretly repaired several passages to the north, and Peng Hu is ready to go north to Ba County and Shu County.

At the same time, Wang Yu and Xu Huang would deal with all the enemies in Hebei, Jiang Qin would be responsible for the transportation of supplies from the north and south, and Zhou Tai and Gan Ning would completely blockade the Yellow River. The 50,000 engineering battalion is already ready on the edge of the Yellow River, the railway from Liyang to Yecheng will be built as soon as possible, and a large number of materials will continue to be transported to Puyang to support Wang Yu's multi-point operations.

It can be said that this battle has almost emptied all of Li Ming's reserves in the past four years, and the purpose is to capture the city to the greatest extent. The ultimate target is the two areas of Hebei and Yizhou, and Pang Debu and his part are the bait used to attract the attention of Hanting.

Rao is like this, Pang De's Zulang Department is ready to go north to support at any time, and when the time comes, it will suddenly kill from the side, if the Han Court pursues Li Ming's department, it is very likely to face Zulang's surprise attack when passing through the remaining veins of the Qinling Mountains.

The back road has been prepared, Fu Seal has also prepared a lot, and even in order to understand the movements of the imperial court, secret agents from all over the country are also taking risks to carry out activities. Li Ming's death target was 300.

"I didn't expect Li Ming to come here...... After Liu Ting returned to the Tiger Prison Pass, he couldn't help but think about a question, that is, why Li Ming came here.

He is here, and his goal is to raid Chenliu and Dongjun, and cut off the logistics route when Wang Yu's entire army is heading north, so that Wang Yu will become a completely lone army. He did invest a lot of troops in Hebei, and he was indeed ready for a decisive battle in Hebei.

Before Li Ming ascended the throne, he appointed himself as the commander of the Western Expeditionary Corps, and Lu Bu was originally subordinate to the Western Expeditionary Legion. Li Ming's appearance here is not so much to see through our purpose, but to fulfill his responsibility to conquer the Western Army. In other words, he planned to completely hand over the battle situation in Hebei to the royal prince of the Northern Expeditionary Corps, and he himself appeared here, I am afraid that he planned to launch a full-scale war as before! Your Majesty, are our defenders over there ready in Yizhou? Shen Ye reminded on the side.

"I have already told King Duosi and King Mulu to get ready, they came to us two years ago, and now is also the time for them to play their role!" Liu Ting nodded, he was indeed guarding against Li Ming's all-out war plan.

"In that case, then we just need to be careful of the troops from Nanyang! On the Wuguan side, it seems that Xiahou Yuan and Li Jin are guarding it, right? What if the two of them fail again this time? Shen Ye thought for a moment.

"It's up to them to fail!" When Liu Ting heard this, he smiled meaningfully.
