Chapter 158

After a morning of fierce attacks, Yuan's army only left the corpses of thousands of soldiers in vain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Fortunately, it was spring and summer, and the weather was not too hot, otherwise the corpses under the city would have rotted and caused a plague, which would have been much more terrible than the war itself.

"I don't know what happened to my lord. Now the soldiers and horses in the city are quite damaged, and if there is no foreign aid, I am afraid that the city will be destroyed sooner or later, and we have to find a way to dampen their morale. Zhang Liao faced the breeze on the women's wall, looked at Yuan Shu's camp, and secretly thought about how to break the enemy.

Wu Suizheng walked up the steps quickly, came to Zhang Liao's side, bowed and said, "General Zhang, I have transferred more than 1,000 private soldiers from the mansions of some wealthy families in the city, and we are now waiting under the city. Wu Sui was promoted to a long history because of his merit in secretly mobilizing grain and grass, but the world thought that it was Lu Bu's favor, and after returning to Xiapi, the remaining wealthy families in the city were even more desperate, and Lu Bu also made the best use of it, so that he could use his means to contact those wealthy families. Seeing that the war was tight these days, with his own means and Lu Bu's residual power of slaughtering various big clans, he had to recruit more than 1,000 people from the hands of those wealthy clans in one morning.

Zhang Liao's face was overjoyed, and he hammered his right hand to the female wall, and after shouting "good", he said with a smile: "Changshi is really timely and rainy." ”

Zhang Liao still knows a little about what Wu Sui did, and Zhang Liao guessed a point or two about the fact that so much food was added to the official cabin, and now Wu Sui has even resorted to means that even Chen Gong does not have, and he can't help but admire the requisition of so many people from those wealthy families who regard private soldiers as their lives.

Don't underestimate these 1,000 people, there are only more than 8,000 soldiers left by Lu Bu to defend the city, which is an increase of one-ninth, and the probability of holding Xiapi and waiting for Lu Bu to return to help is also greatly increased.

"The general is polite, this is a matter of duty. These private soldiers were handed over to General Zhang, and if nothing else happened, they retired first. Wu Sui clenched his fists and said.

There are still some things waiting for him to deal with in the city, not all people are willing to hand over their private soldiers, Yuan Shu's 60,000 troops surrounded there are some disobedient Lu Bu, and the bold ones are ready to move, these people have to be dealt with by him one by one, and those who are outside the enemy die. Wu Sui's face was full of anger, he had been an official for so long, and he had a little official authority.

"Long history, please." Zhang Liao saw that Wu Sui's expression was different, and he didn't keep it.

Wu Sui bowed again and turned to leave.

"Go, call General Cheng Lian over." After Zhang Liao saw Wu Sui leave, he said to the soldiers around him.

"No."

"With these more people guarding the city, maybe you can venture out of the city and let them know that I, Zhang Liao, am not a vegetarian." sneered, clenched the saber at his waist, and his handsome and elegant face was full of courage.

After a while, Cheng Lian strode onto the city wall. "What's the important thing about Wen Yuan at noon?" It was rare that it was lunch break, but he was called by Zhang Liao, and Cheng Lian was a little unhappy on his face.

"Come here." Zhang Liao took a step forward, grabbed Cheng Lian's left hand and walked towards the city tower.

After they were done, Zhang Liao smiled and said: "Zixia (Cheng Lian Biaozi) can you see the more than 1,000 people in the city? ”

Isn't it the rabble of people in the city who are armed with all kinds of weapons and dressed in different clothes? Cheng Lian nodded, and then wondered, "Where did it come from?" ”

"It's the private soldiers transferred by Changshi, Zixia went to transfer them to various city gates, so as to remove some extremely tired soldiers, and then go to gather two hundred cavalry." After speaking, Zhang Liao lifted the teapot on the desk and poured himself a cup of boiled water.

"This, it's nothing to send them to the city wall to defend the city, but two hundred cavalry can't make it up even if they search the entire Xiapi." Cheng Lian hurriedly said, the good horses of Pi have been transferred away by Cao Xing, where can the two hundred cavalry find them?

"Hehe, there are more than 100 riders in my two relatives, and there are still dozens of riding slaves in Miss, so it's troublesome Zixia." Moistening his throat, Zhang Liao smiled.

"Miss? It was given to the young lady by the lord for hunting and playing, how can I be a subordinate? Cheng Lian hesitated.

"Hahaha... Zixia is scared? Zhang Liao laughed, and then explained: "Although Miss is a little naughty on weekdays, she is never ambiguous about big things, and Zixia can rest assured." ”

Cheng Lian thought about it, nodded and said, "It's okay, but what's the use of Wen Yuan asking for two hundred horses?" ”

"I want to lead these cavalry out of the city tonight to meet Yuan Shu." As if to do something ordinary, he said indifferently with an expressionless face.

Cheng Lian's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Is two hundred horses too little?" ”

"That's enough, this is just rubbing the morale of Yuan Shujun, and there are too many people to get in the way." Zhang Liao is confident that with these two hundred people, he can make Yuan Shu disgraced.

"Wen Yuan rest assured, even if you search all over the city, you have to get these two hundred horses." Cheng Lian's face was solemn, and he bowed and said goodbye, Cheng Lian was conceited and brave, but he only led 200 cavalry to rob the Yuan Shu camp guarded by 20,000 people, he didn't have the courage to do so, until now he was convinced that Zhang Liao was sitting in the position of the main general.

After getting off the city wall, Cheng Lian rode his horse to the gate of General Zuo's mansion, "General Cheng." "Guards of the door, salute.

Nodding his head, he asked, "Where is Miss?" ”

"Practice martial arts in the backyard." The soldier said respectfully.

Handing over the horse to the guards, Cheng Lian hurried towards the backyard, stepped into the courtyard, and saw Lu Lingqi dancing there from a distance, with a howling cold wind between every move, and the momentum was very strong.

Different from the dance before March, it was a drip-tight and offensive marksmanship, after Lu Bu's careful training, the marksmanship was already quite powerful, and the sweeping was murderous and abnormal.

In the end, Lu Lingqijiao shouted, and the spear in her hand was quickly stabbed, "spraying" enough to be a large tree, which was pierced in half, and the head of the spear carried a slight sap, revealing three feet long.

"The tiger father has no dog girl, and he really deserves to be the daughter of the lord." Cheng Lian secretly praised, stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Miss." ”

"Uncle Cheng doesn't go to guard the city gate, what are you doing here?" Lu Lingqi slowly pulled out her spear and politely called Cheng Lian her uncle.

"I'm here to think, this... This....,Hey,It's to borrow Miss's dozens of riding slaves for a use.。 After swallowing for a long time, Cheng Lian said.

Those riding slaves were given by Lu Bu, and their meaning was like a toy, and Cheng Lian now felt like a toy snatching the little girl's hand.

"How can the war outside the city be so tight? However, although Qi'er's riding slaves are good, there are only a few dozen people, what's the use? Lu Lingqi frowned and asked.

She wasn't there for the slaves, she was just worried about the war. Since Cheng Lian opened his mouth to borrow someone from her, the situation outside must be unimaginably serious.

"Hey, it's Wenyuan who wants to lead the troops to rob the camp, but there are less than two hundred people together, so I have to come to Miss." Cheng Lian didn't want to be entangled with the little girl anymore, so he was heartbroken, so he simply said it, anyway, he was also his own miss.

Lu Lingqi lit up, threw the spear on the ground, and replied very happily: "Okay, Qi'er will call them here." ”

After saying that, she ran to find her personal riding team.

"I didn't expect Miss to be so naughty usually, but she is so easy to talk when she encounters big things." Cheng Lian sighed.

……

Outside the south of the city, Yuan Shu camp. The handsome flag embroidered with the word "Cheng" is erected at the gate of the camp, and it is extremely majestic. The soldiers in the battalion were sitting there in a group eating their meals, and they might have eaten one meal and then lost the next meal, and they were all gobbling up.

In the handsome tent, Yuan Shu wore a golden helmet and gold armor, kneeling on the main seat with a serious face, and below him were the general Ji Ling, the chief bookkeeper Yan Xiang, Changshi Yang Hong and others.

"Your Majesty ordered to attack Xiapi on three sides, why didn't you leave an ambush at the north gate? If Zhang Liao took Lu Bu's family through the north gate, wouldn't it be a pity? Changshi Yang Hong's body rose slightly, and he asked with a fist.

"Haha." Yuan Shu laughed heartily, "Surround three and lack one, the ancients used soldiers like this, although Zhang Liao's name is not obvious, but Lu Bu can entrust Xiapi to this person, this person must be extraordinary, how can he not know the reason, it is better to put the ambush there than to use it to attack the city, and before Lu Bu retreats and returns, capture Guangling." ”

After a pause, he asked again: "A few days ago, news came from Dongwu that Yan Sun Ce led an army of 40,000 to attack Guangling, and now I don't know what the situation is there?" ”

"This morning, the eyeliner came to report, saying that Lu Bu had captured Guangling yesterday, and he also broke Sun Ce's vanguard of 5,000 men and horses with thousands of cavalry outside the city, and the current situation is unknown." The chief bookkeeper, Yan Xiang, replied when he heard this.

"Oh." Yuan Shu was taken aback, and then said with a smile: "Okay, Sun Ce is really hateful, it's just a matter of borrowing his soldiers and horses if he doesn't pay them back, but he actually listened to Cao Thief's order to send troops to attack me, so that I stopped the land of the two counties, and lost 5,000 people before the war, happy... Joyfully. ”

After shouting twice, he wondered again: "However, when my 60,000-strong army went on a northern expedition, didn't Lu Bu have the slightest fear?" did not quickly lead troops back to help, but according to Guangling's hard defense of Sun Ce, its meaning is intriguing. ”

"Hmph" Sitting on the right, Ji Ling, who had a majestic face, snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Lu Buqi is extremely greedy, and he is reluctant to give up after Guangling defeats Sun Ce, and wants to return to help Xia Pi after Guangling defeats Sun Ce." ”
