Wei Yan understands that once the Jingzhou army launches an attack, it will be an endless situation, how dangerous Jiguan is, it is still broken by the Jingzhou army, and the task given to him by Zhao Yun is to guard Wenxi for half a month, and hold it for a longer time, Wei Yan may not have confidence, he can still do it in half a month.

There were fifty thunderbolts and bed crossbows in the city, which was a bit insufficient in the face of the Jingzhou army.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Bei sat at the top of the position, and after glancing at the generals below, his chest burned with a raging fighting spirit, many of the generals were unfamiliar faces to the generals under Liu Bei's command, but these unfamiliar generals will become the foundation of his entry into Jingzhou.

"Now there are 4,000 Bingzhou troops in Wenxi City, all of you are generals of the Han Dynasty, and it is within your duty to attack the rebels, so please leave it to you." After speaking, Liu Bei got up and solemnly saluted the generals below.

The generals below hurriedly got up and saluted back, especially the generals in the Jingzhou army, who had a better sense of Liu Bei, at this time Liu Bei was higher than them in his position, but had such a respectful attitude, which had never been seen in the Jingzhou army, Liu Bei's salute made them feel the meaning of attention.

Liu Bei glanced at the generals in the tent and said slowly: "Although our army has more than 12,000 people, the combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou army is strong, and we have to defend when attacking the city. ”

When everyone heard this, they said yes, and the strength of the state army, at this time it is already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, if it is not because of the collapse of the city wall, if you want to break through, it is difficult to rely on the Jingzhou army's soldiers and horses, before Zhang Fei led five hundred cavalry to fight, but it was suppressed by two hundred cavalry of the enemy, which made the generals in the army secretly raise their vigilance.

After a brief introduction of the generals among the generals, after Liu Bei admonished them, everyone dispersed.

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "I don't know what kind of strategy Kong Ming has to break the enemy?" ”

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu also stared at Zhuge Liang with blazing eyes, and now Liu Bei can easily win over so many Jingzhou army generals, which is inseparable from Zhuge Liang's advice, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's original attitude towards Zhuge Liang has also quietly changed.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment and said: "Although the army under Lu Bu is strong, there is a big drawback under Lu Bu, that is, the relationship between the state army and the family. ”

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, he knew very well the energy of the family, when the Bingzhou army was strong, they might be dormant, once the Bingzhou army showed a weak state, they would not hesitate to stand up and give the Bingzhou army a fatal blow, which became realized when Liu Bei entered Hanoi.

The most significant point of the Han Dynasty is that there are a large number of families, and most of the things are in the hands of the family, even if it is a prince, they have to be careful when dealing with the family, for fear of committing public anger, Lu Bu is an exception, but all the families under his rule are careful.

The position of the two is reversed, so that the family's hatred for the state army can be imagined.

"Kong Ming, please tell me carefully." Looking at Zhuge Liang with a faint smile, Liu Bei asked.

Seeing Zhuge Liang's attitude, Guan Yu's brows furrowed slightly, no matter what, Liu Bei is the monarch, and Zhuge Liang is just a subordinate.

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "The lord can secretly send people to the city to win over the family in Wenxi City, if the family is willing to take refuge, under the cooperation of the inside and outside, why not break Wenxi, although Wei Yan is quite strategic, but it is just a horse, as long as he uses some strategies, it is naturally not a problem to defeat him." ”

Liu Bei said: "Kong Ming, this Wei Yan is said to be a captain in the Jingzhou Army, since he entered the Bingzhou Army, he has made many meritorious contributions, and now he is the deputy general under Zhao Yun. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The generals in the Bingzhou army are brave and brave, but under Lu Bu's rule, there is a lack of resourceful people. ”

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, at this point, Bingzhou is indeed inferior to the princes, the princes with the support of the family, don't worry about talents, like Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Zhuge Liang and the like, they are all family members, in comparison, Guo Jia, Xi Ce and other poor scholars are a little rare.

There are most of the Jingzhou army outside the city, and the thoughts of the family in the city suddenly came alive, Yu Liang agreed without hesitation after getting the news from Liu Bei sent someone secretly, the Yu family had the current situation because of the Wei family, if it weren't for the arrival of the Bingzhou army, how could the Wei family come to the current situation, it is reasonable, he will fight hard.

However, for Wei Yan's power, the Yu family is still more fearful, it was Wei Yan who broke through Wen Xi at the beginning, and at the same time, the people in the city highly respected the Bingzhou Army, which is also a big impact, if it is put in the governance of ordinary princes, the family only needs to fuel the flames from it, and it will be able to provoke the anger of the people, and it will become much easier to take the opportunity to make trouble, and now the people are more supportive of the Bingzhou Army.

In the early morning of the next day, Yu Liang and Zhang's family advocated touching to the government office, expressing their willingness to contribute a certain amount of grain and grass, Wei Yan was overjoyed to learn of this and appeased Yu Liang and Zhang Yi.

Walking out of the government office, Yu Liang and Zhang Touch glanced at each other and nodded slightly, the reason why they did this was to paralyze Wei Yan, at this time Wei Yan had absolute prestige in the city, and it was very difficult to welcome the Jingzhou army into the city under the nose of the Bingzhou army.

Two days later, the Jingzhou army launched a fierce offensive against Wenxi, the city wall was repeatedly urgent, Wei Yan was even more busy, and the strong combat effectiveness of the state army was also vividly displayed at this moment, in the face of the thunderbolt suppression of the Jingzhou army, and the state army defended the city in an orderly manner.

Wei Yan understands the characteristics of the thunderbolt car, don't look at the great power before the siege, once the Jingzhou army attacks the city, the thunderbolt car will also stop temporarily, they are afraid that the thunderbolt will hurt their own people, and the thunderbolt and bed crossbow in the city do not have to worry about this aspect at all, they only need to pour a piece of boulder and a crossbow arrow towards the Jingzhou army.

The siege lasted for five days, and even the Bingzhou army felt tired, and the three city walls were attacked at the same time, which greatly dispersed the strength of the Bingzhou army.

On the sixth day, the Jingzhou army's offensive gradually slowed down, Wei Yan took the opportunity to replenish the consumed supplies, and the wounded soldiers were also replaced.

Even with Wei Yan's temperament, after seeing the tragic situation of many soldiers, it is inevitable that he will be a little sad, these soldiers came with him from Anyi, but they were so lost on the battlefield, and after really training an army and leading an army to fight, he can realize the preciousness of every soldier.
