It's snowing in the west, and Chang'an is just very cold, and the snow has never been seen yet. Liu Zhang has been gone for more than a month, but it has not affected Chang'an, and there is still their life here. This year's harvest in Chang'an was a bit worse, and the weather was too cold too quickly and seemed to affect the harvest. This year's rain is not very much, although there is watering, but it is still a little worse. However, the grain production is not much, but the production of potatoes is still amazing. It's just that this staggering cost is the consumption of the land, but the animal manure from the farm is enough to satisfy the growth of these potatoes.

"Cao Cao personally led the army to make many moves near Yun County, although he has not attacked us yet, it is not difficult to see that Cao Cao has ideas about Jingzhou. Xiaozhi has already ordered in Xiangyang, and at present, Nanyang and Shangcai have been actively preparing, do you want us to inform the lord of these things? "Zhang Song actually didn't panic, Liu Zhang had already deployed all before he left.

Liu Ye smiled bitterly and said, "If we tell the lord, I'm afraid we will lose a few more words." The lord was deployed before leaving, and most of the troops were concentrated in these two places, if there is a problem, I am afraid that we are really incompetent. Although Liu Zhang is not so majestic, it is still difficult to listen to hurtful words. The words that often come out of my mouth are, I have to do everything, what are you doing? In short, things within the principle should be reported, and the handling outside the principle only needs to write a report.

Zhang Song's face was also dark when he heard this, they were all there when Liu Zhang hurt people, and they often said that they had no temper at all. After all, it was Liu Zhang, he had to bear everything he said, and many times he felt that he was innocent, but he still had to be next to it. But after pecking carefully, they found that it seemed to be very reasonable, so they were still very uncomfortable when Liu Zhang hurt people.

Liu Bei also took action, and it can be seen that he has made a move against Shangdang County. We don't have to worry about Jingzhou, we can naturally be fine if we have filial piety. Pang De and General Yan Xing should go to support justice, the last time they were defeated by Liu Bei's tricks, this time they went to support to wash away the shame. Zhang Song made the final decision.

Pang De and Yan Xing came out and said, "Oh." "I almost died when I was beaten last time, if it weren't for the medical skills passed down by Liu Zhang, I'm afraid they would have been killed directly by Guan Yu and Zhao Yun. They were caught off guard last time, and this time they will definitely not fail. The two of them led the troops and prepared to go to Shangdang County to support Zhang Ren and take revenge at the same time.

Then the two of them hurriedly walked towards Shangdang County, and Liu Bei had already arrived in front of the city at this moment. The city here is not very big, and it is not as good as Yecheng, but Liu Bei saw Zhang Ren and was shocked: "Zhang Ren is here, is Liu Zhang also here?" This person has been following Liu Zhang, could it be said that we have been tricked? Liu Bei's heart was cold, he felt that Liu Zhang might deliberately spread rumors to trap him. This trick was used by Liu Zhang when he beat Zhang Lu back then, and now it is circulating, which makes many people feel terrible.

Xu Shu was also a little panicked when he saw Zhang Ren, but he found that Zhang Ren did not have Liu Zhang by his side: "The lord saw that the group of people was headed by Zhang Ren, which means that Liu Zhang is not here." If Liu Zhang is here, Zhang Ren will inevitably be by Liu Zhang's side. Unless everyone attacks, Zhang Ren must be by Liu Zhang's side. ”

After everyone looked at it for a while, Liu Bei said bitterly: "Then Liu Zhang really seems to be very aggressive, but in fact, he is extremely careful." That Sima Yi is a cautious person, and now there is another Zhang Ren. It's impossible for us to take Shangdang County in a short time, and the artillery on the city wall has already been erected......"

"Big brother Liu Zhang is not here, why bother to increase his popularity?" Zhang Fei thought of being abused by Liu Zhang, and he was angry when Ma Chao and others chased him. Thinking that he Zhang Fei was brave and abnormal, but he was chased by Ma Chao to the sky and the earth, it is really a shame in life.

Guan Yu also said angrily: "Liu Zhang, there are many villains there, the next time I see the person who makes the arrow, I will kill him with one sword." "Although the wound on the arm is healed, the scar remains on it, naked shame.

Xu Shu said: "Why should the lord worry? Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou in a big way, which was more important than Shangdang County. It can be said that Shangdang County and Hanoi County have been lost, and Jingzhou is impossible to lose. In this way, we will not be under a lot of pressure here, even if Zhang Ren is here, it is estimated that there will not be too many troops. ”

As the group of people discussed, in the end, Liu Bei still planned to attack Shangdang County. Immediately afterwards, the soldiers began to attack the city, and Zhang Ren's side also began to defend. The defensive power of the earthen artillery is naturally incomprehensible, and the soldiers who rush up will almost die as long as they are hit by this platoon. This is completely exchanging his life for shells, and Liu Bei's face is green after a day......

Liu Bei has a green face here, and he is attacking the city hard. Cao Cao was also preparing to attack Wancheng, and he didn't attack Shangcai, but left the elite there. If the people of the city come out, they will run away. If you don't come out, stay outside, in short, as long as you don't rescue Wancheng, it's okay.

"The walls here are thicker, and the buildings above seem to be stronger. There are a lot of earthen cannons on the city wall, and it is so difficult for us to attack the city. Cao Cao's teeth hurt, and he didn't know how to attack Liu Zhang. Some time ago, the grain had already been harvested, and Cao Cao actually didn't know much about Liu Zhang's vigorous planting of wheat. Compared to flour, they are accustomed to corn and lack interest in pasta.

Guo Jia glanced at it a few times and tightened his clothes slightly. His body has been a little weak recently, and when the weather is cold, his body seems to be more afraid of the cold: "Although the lord Liu Zhang has a lot of earth cannons, how many cannonballs are there?" If we don't take Jingzhou now, then we won't have to attack Jizhou or anything like that in the future. Liu Zhang has relieved all the dangers of foreign races, and he is so rich that he only needs to produce more shells, so that we might as well vote for the lord. In Guo Jia's view, this is also the last chance,

Cao Cao was silent, Guo Jia was not wrong. Liu Zhang freed his hands to clean him and Liu Bei, the two of them could only resist, and Liu Bei had to cooperate perfectly, maybe there would be a chance. But if Liu Bei was a little slower, it would only be a matter of time before he was defeated. This year, Cao Cao was not idle at all, constantly letting the craftsmen study new weapons and constantly rewarding them.

It can be said that there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the technology of steel has been improving, but the cannonball is too far behind the technology tree after all. However, all kinds of convenient hand crossbows and convenient catapults have been strengthened, but it is a pity that it is still the peak technology of the cold weapon era, but there is no way to change the situation of the war.

"We've been studying for so long but we've only gotten some useless things, why does Liu Zhang have so many good things?" Cao Cao bought a lot of Liu Zhang's good things from the merchants, such as wool, paper, mirrors, perfumes, and grain, and it seems that all the food and drink were bought from Liu Zhang.

Guo Jia also said helplessly: "There are many strange people in the world, maybe those people are in Liu Zhang's hands." Otherwise, how could he rise so fast in just a few years, maybe Liu Zhang has a lot of flaws, but maybe he also has his cleverness? Until now, they have only discovered that Liu Zhang is greedy for money and lustful, of course, his mouth is a little cheap, and other things are not wrong, it should be like this.

Cao Cao's eyes froze, and he said: "I'm afraid this is the last chance for me to wait, this time Liu Bei and I will attack Liu Zhang, if we can't get useful things, then when Liu Zhang comes back from Xiliang, I'm afraid it will be a disaster for me and Liu Bei." "Liu Zhang is not in a hurry, he obviously has such powerful troops and weapons, and so much grain and grass is not in a hurry to attack him and Liu Bei at all. Every day he was swaying around, and he didn't even think about attacking them.

If Liu Zhang eagerly attacked him and Liu Bei, maybe they would have a tendency to take advantage of the chaos to rise. For example, Yuan Shao is too anxious, if it develops steadily, how can Cao Cao be his opponent? But looking at Liu Zhang's stability like a dog now, Cao Cao and others are anxious every day.

The situation in the world seems to be stable, and it seems that Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Liu Zhang are divided into three parts of the world. In fact, Liu Zhang beat the other two people alone, and many people can't see the situation clearly, but the people at the top actually understand. In this world, two people surnamed Liu were born, but in fact, in Cao Cao's eyes, only Liu Zhang was surnamed Liu.

"Tomorrow will attack the city, and we will take this place no matter what." Cao Cao pressed the back of his hand, there was not much opportunity left, and he couldn't afford any hesitation.

The military order was issued, and the city was attacked with all its might tomorrow, and it was bound to be broken within 15 days. Every day the siege is guarded by the soldiers who oversee the battle, and there is absolutely no slackness. This is also the most ruthless order given by Cao Cao, all the purpose is to defeat Wancheng, but also for the earthen cannons on the city wall. If you can capture this place, you may be able to get a way to make an earthen cannon.

The next morning, Cao Cao got up and prepared to attack Wancheng, Wu Yi took the telescope and said with a smile: "This Cao Cao is really crazy, fortunately, we have a lot of things in reserve, and the lord is worried that Cao Cao will fight for his life and specially sent mortars, not to mention that Jingzhou's supplies are still being sent." Even if this Cao Cao had an army of millions, it would be impossible to break this Wan city. "Wu Yi has too many good things here, which makes his self-confidence burst. Unless Cao Cao's army enters the city, it is absolutely impossible to break Wancheng.

"The general still needs to be cautious, the lord is cautious about Cao Cao, then Cao Cao is scheming, we must be careful. The matter of the lord in Xiliang is very crucial, once he is defeated halfway, I am afraid that Xiliang will suffer. "Yan Pu rushed over from Fancheng to give advice. This is also the meaning of Fa Zheng, and you must not be careless because the equipment is too powerful.

Wu Yi laughed a little embarrassed and said, "Zimao (Yan Pu) is too worried, right?" I'll be careful about that. "This person is too boring, in the words of the lord, he just doesn't understand the sense of humor, which Liu Zhang likes to say that Wang is tired. Looking at this Yan Pu, Wu Yi said that this person is too.
