Xiahou said a word, and Xiahou Yuan said with a confused face.

He was also wondering what a person like him would do if there was really no war one day.

As a meritorious official in the court?

As a military general, you can't get on the horse and kill the enemy, what's the meaning of being an official?

"Let's go!" Xiahou Yuan was still stunned, and Xiahou pulled down his sleeves: "We should also prepare in advance, the order to attack the city may be issued at any time." ”

Xiahou Yuan followed Xiahou away.

Fa Zheng received the order sent by Cao Shuo, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.

Cao Shuo didn't intend to leave Liu Bei alive, of course he knew it.

deliberately sent someone to convey the order, telling him that as long as he brought back Liu Bei's head, he would be considered a great achievement, undoubtedly telling Fa Zheng that once Liu Bei was captured, he could dispose of it at will.

After receiving the order, Fa Zheng had mixed feelings in his heart.

Cao Shuo not only gave him 50,000 troops to take revenge, but also gave him the authority to dispose of Liu Bei.

No matter what Cao Shuo's purpose was, it was undoubtedly a kindness that would be difficult for Fa Zheng to repay.

The messenger left, and Fa Zheng also walked out of the tent.

Facing the direction of Hanzhong, he hugged his fists and bowed deeply.

From this moment on, Fa Zheng had an obsession in his heart.

Whether it was Liu Zhang or Liu Bei back then, no one treated him like Cao Shuo.

Liu Zhang only gave him a small county order, and although Liu Bei made him a county guard, he always refused to give up too much real power, and even deliberately suppressed it in many things.

Since he joined Cao Shuo, everything is no longer the same.

Cao Shuo gave him everything he needed, and if he couldn't break through Langzhong, he would return to Hanzhong alive without a face.

"Herald!" Fa Zheng shouted: "The army is ready, attack the city at any time!" ”

The horn sounded outside Langzhong City, and the soldiers of the Wei army lined up in a neat formation and advanced towards the city wall.

Fa Zheng rode a tall steed and walked at the front of the array.

His face was gloomy, and the closer he got to the walls, the more ugly his face became.

Liu Bei, who killed his whole family, was in the city, looking at the city wall that was getting closer and closer, Fa Zheng hated that he couldn't immediately order the army to rush up and trample Langzhong into powder.

Someone else might do just that.

But Fa Zheng is no one else after all.

Although the enemy was in front of him, he would not be impulsive enough to lead a large army to attack immediately.

Langzhong is also a big city.

In addition to the Jialing River, which surrounds the city, there is also a moat around the city wall.

The moat was built right within the range of arrows at the head of the city.

As soon as the Wei army launched an attack, a rain of arrows could immediately pour out on the city walls.

On the head of Langzhong City.

Liu Bei held on to the battlements and looked at the army outside the city.

There were only a few thousand soldiers in the city, but the Wei army outside the city was overwhelmed, and I don't know how many.

Seeing Fa Zheng who led the army to the outside of the city from a distance, Liu Bei's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and hated to eat him alive in one bite.

Standing behind Liu Bei, seeing that his mood was not right, Wang Ping whispered: "If Your Majesty is not feeling well, please go back to the official mansion to rest first." ”

"Fa Zhengdu has come outside the city, how can I still have the heart to go back to the official mansion to rest." Liu Bei said: "He hates me to the bone, even if I don't guard here, once the city is broken, he will try his best to humiliate him." This time, Cao Zirong sent troops to attack Yizhou, and I had no way to retreat. Either I am repelled by the enemy or I am killed by them! ”

When he said these words, Liu Bei's tone was very desolate.

There were also some days when he was a general in Shu Han, and Wang Ping knew a little about this emperor.

In the past, when he encountered anything, Liu Bei would not be like today.

Liu Bei's face was solemn, and he looked at the army outside the city without saying a word.

led the army to approach the city wall, and Fa Zheng could already see Liu Bei on the head of the city.

Looking at Liu Bei on the head of the city with a gloomy face, Fa Zheng clenched his fists tightly.

He raised his arm, and the sound of the horn stopped.

"General Yuan Rang, how do you think our army should attack?" When talking to Xiahou, Fa Zheng's gaze did not leave the city for a moment.

Xiahou replied: "Fagong, I think some catapults should be built before the siege of the city......

"What do you do when you build a catapult?" Looking around, Fa Zheng said: "We don't use ready-made siege weapons, but we want to build catapults, wouldn't it be exhausting?" ”

Xiahou and Xiahou Yuan, who were following him, looked dazed, and they didn't understand where the siege weapons came from nearby.

Pointing to the Jialing River, which flows around the city, Fa Zheng said: "The water of the great river is endless, if they are introduced into Langzhong City, what will happen to the city?"

"Fa Gong wants to divert water to irrigate Langzhong?" Xiahou asked stunned.

"Exactly." Fa Zheng said: "In any case, I must break through Langzhong, so that I can give an explanation to the lord."

"I'm afraid that the lord won't agree." Xia Hou said: "Diverting water from the Jialing River to irrigate Langzhong, what should the people in the city do? You know, the lord has never been able to bear the suffering of the people. You know, the flood is flooding the city, but I'm afraid that few people can survive. ”

"How many people died in the world?" Fa Zheng said: "The lord should understand better than you and me, but in troubled times, the people are just fish and meat on the chopping board to be slaughtered, and we are helpless how many they die!" ”

What Fa Zheng said was indeed reasonable, but Xiahou and the others always felt that something was wrong.

If catapults were built, the siege would have been longer, but it would have avoided too many casualties among the people.

In order to break through Langzhong as soon as possible, Fa Zheng actually thought of such a method......

"Fa Gong, do you want to ......" Yang Xiu also persuaded on the side.

He knew that once Fazheng's method reached Cao Shuo's ears, it would probably have a lot of impact on Cao Shuo.

Yang Xiu didn't know what would happen to Cao Shuo, but he knew that Fa Zheng's approach would definitely not be recognized by Cao Shuo.

"What are you all worried about?" Fa Zheng glanced at the crowd and said to them: "When I set out on the expedition, the lord said that when I arrived on the battlefield, everything would be left to me to deal with. As long as you do what I do, whatever happens, I will be alone. ”

Although Fa Zheng said so, everyone still felt that something was wrong.

They glanced at each other, and Yang Xiu said first: "Generals, act according to what Fagong said." ”

Xiahou and Xiahou Yuan responded.

The two of them each instructed their soldiers to bring hoes and shovels to prepare to divert the water of the Jialing River into Langzhong City.

The Wei army did not rush to attack, but dispersed many people to the Jialing River.

Liu Bei at the head of the city saw this scene, and his face suddenly changed not very well.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Seeing that his face was wrong, Wang Ping asked.

"They will bring water into the Langzhong." Liu Bei shouted: "Hurry up and give the order, let the soldiers prepare to drain the water, and then drive the people to the roof, and no one is allowed to stay at home!" 2k reading network
