Outside the city, in the Yellow Turban Battalion, Xu He looked coldly at several Yellow Turban handsomes who hung their heads, with angry faces, "Guan Hai, Zhao Fang, Qin Ming, you are so courageous, you are so courageous!" ”

Xu and the halberd connected the three of them, and buttoned their hats, "I didn't listen to the orders before the battle, and I fought without permission, do you have me, the marshal of Qingzhou, or the general of Tiangong in your eyes." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"The last general will not dare," Guan Hai and the others bowed their heads again and again.

"Don't dare," Xu He hated itchy, if it weren't for the fact that he was employing people at this time, Xu He was afraid that he would be eager to whip Guan Hai and a few people. Xu He, who was still angry at the moment, gritted his steel teeth, "Don't dare, what don't you dare, how many brothers were killed by the officers and soldiers before the battle, and the soldiers suffered heavy losses." ”

In Qingzhou, most of the hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans were turned into rebels by former Qingzhou bandits. Only a few of the Yellow Turbans have been affected by this to join the tide. However, although Xu He is nominally the chief of Qingzhou, some Qingzhou Xiaofangqu is handsome and the eldest of the sky, and he is the second, so he is unruly, and he keeps announcing the tune, and even Xu He can't do anything to them for a while, and he is deflated again and again.

In today's battle, Guan Hai and several people disobeyed in front of the battle, causing the soldiers under his command to lose more than half of their capital, and they no longer had to fight against their own capital.

After slapping a red date, Qin Ming's already black face was like the bottom of a pot, and he counted the hatred of Xu He's reprimand and the loss of his brother to the Han army defending the city, "Marshal, in today's battle, the defenders of Pingling County are extremely tenacious in defending the city, if it is just an ordinary siege, I am afraid that it will be a big loss on our side!" ”

"Do you have any good proposals?" Xu He's eyes lifted slightly, he looked at Qin Ming in surprise, and muttered in his heart, "Is there any good way for him to fail." ”

"The old way, attacking the city with soil, is the same as dealing with Linzi," Qin Ming said, with a confident look on his face, "Pingling County is not as thick as the walls of Linzi City." ”

"Siege the city," Xu He raised his eyebrows, "This is a way, but to build an earthen city, it will take at least half a month, and it will also face the sneak attack of the Han army in the city at night, I am afraid it will be difficult to implement, the most important thing is to build the soil from outside Pingling County, and you need to beware of the city defense equipment, therefore, the best distance from the soil is one mile away." And if you start to build soil from one mile, you need to build five or six earthen walls at the gate of Pingling County, and it will take two or three months at the shortest."

"Qu Shuai, that's better than storming Pingling County and letting the brothers die in vain," said a thirty-year-old yellow scarf wearing a yellow scarf and a pair of leather armor.

"Qu Shuai, I agree with Qin Ming's proposal, and another Yellow Turban Qu Shuai around thirty years old stood up and said."

"Qu Shuai, I also agree with ......"

One after another, seven or eight Yellow Turban Xiaofang Qu Shuai stood up and proposed, seeing this, Xu He could only nod, "Draw out the old and weak from all sides tomorrow to start digging from the nearby plains, build soil to besiege the city, and the strong soldiers will be on call at any time to capture Pingling County." ”

"Yes, Marshal." More than ten small square Qushuai hugged their fists.

The next day, after breakfast in the Yellow Turban Camp, black and oppressive figures rushed out, carrying hoes, flat poles and bamboo baskets one by one out of the camp.

On the gate tower of Pingling County, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were alarmed by the soldiers guarding the city, and rushed to the city gate tower with a few breads in a hurry.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei watched for a long time behind the female wall, and saw that the Yellow Turban soldiers had not launched an attack on the city for a long time, but there were batches of people filling in the soil one after another, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

At the head of the city, Zhang Fei looked solemn, "Big brother, it is estimated that they are besieging the city with earth, and when the time comes, they will push forward flatly, directly use the earth city as a springboard, and climb on the head of Pingling County." ”

"I know," Guan Yu half-narrowed a pair of phoenix eyes, his brows furrowed.

In front of the Yellow Turban Battalion, Xu He, Guan Hai and other Yellow Turban Xiaofangqu Shuai were fully armored, and there were 10,000 Yellow Turban soldiers behind them, ready to attack at any time.

"Marshal, it seems that the defenders of Pingling County have nothing to do, so they can only watch our actions," a member of the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai was full of smiles, a little meaningful, attacking the city, tried and tried, the only trouble is that it is quite time-consuming.

"En," Xu He nodded on the black Youzhou war horse, and was worried that it would take too long to cause accidents, "Pass on my general order to order Linzi City to transport a batch of siege equipment, three months' worth of grain and grass, and a group of manpower to speed up the siege of the city." ”

"Yes, Qu Shuai".

Above the city, Guan Yu asked the left and right to pay attention to the movement of the yellow scarf outside the city and came to the city gate tower with Zhang Fei, after the two sat down, Guan Yu closed his eyes and pondered.

After a long time, Guan Yu opened his phoenix eyes, and a touch of helplessness flashed in his eyes, although there are thousands of troops, but the real combat effectiveness is still more than 1,000 people on his side, and now the competition is time! If you can increase the combat effectiveness of the county soldiers in the city by one level within a month, you may not be able to fight with the Yellow Turban soldiers outside the city.

"Second brother, the training soldiers will be handed over to you, improve their combat power as soon as possible."

"Big brother," Zhang Fei whispered, his brows furrowed, Guan Yu was pressing the pressure on himself! Sighing softly, Zhang Fei resolutely said, "If you want to quickly form combat effectiveness, there is only one way." ”

"What's the solution?" When Guan Yu heard this, his spirits perked.

"Raise soldiers, increase the amount of training, increase pressure, and stimulate the potential of soldiers." Zhang Fei had a difficult look on his face, this requires a lot of money to throw into it.

After thinking about it, Guan Yu said to Zhang Fei, "Yide, go, go to Taishou Mansion." ”

The two got up, got off the inner wall, rode all the way to the sky and the black dragon, and rushed to the Taishou Mansion without half a cup of tea.

In the backyard of the Taishou Mansion, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu came to the county office, and their own servants came to report to Gong Jing, Gong Jing heard the words, and hurried to the main hall from the backyard to meet them.

In the main hall, Gong Jing, who was too guarded, said anxiously before he stepped into the door, "Yun Chang, Yide, has something happened again?" ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded at the same time. Guan Yu's face was a little embarrassed, "Lord Taishou, the yellow turban is besieging the city." ”

"Siege of the city?" Gong Jing sighed in his heart, I heard that Linzi City was beaten down by the Yellow Turban Rebellion in this way. Gong Jing asked in surprise, "Yun Chang, what's going on?" ”

On one side, Zhang Fei said in a deep voice. "It is estimated that the Yellow Turban Thieves did not attack the city well yesterday, and they are afraid that they will lose a lot of troops in the attack, so they make this decision,"

"This, this ......" Gong Jing heard this, walking back and forth, feeling uneasy, "Yun Chang, Yide, do you have a way to break the siege of the Yellow Turban?" ”

The two shook their heads at the same time, Guan Yu stroked his long hair with one hand, and a sharp color flashed in his phoenix eyes, "The only way to do this is to strengthen the training of soldiers, improve the combat power of the city defenders, and fight to the death with the yellow turban thieves outside the city, so that Pingling County can be protected." ”

Gong Jing glanced at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei deeply, and saw that Guan Yu's eyes were full of determination, and he quickly analyzed the pros and cons in his mind. If the city is broken, the relevant Yu rate department delays, maybe his family can still save their lives; If you keep it, if you don't save your life, maybe you can move the position on your ass up. Of course, the premise is that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei lead the headquarters to resist together. Otherwise, when Zhang Fei and Guan Yu didn't come, Gong Jing ran away with his family.

If he lets go of his resistance now and abandons the city and flees, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei may also immediately lead their headquarters to shake their faces and leave, and at that time, if they and the officials in the city are caught up by the Yellow Turban, they will inevitably end up in the same fate as other counties and counties.

With just a cup of tea, Gong Jing made up his mind, "Yun Chang, what do you still need to improve the combat power of the county soldiers?" ”

"Yide, you say," Guan Yu pulled Zhang Fei and said.

"Lord Taishou," Zhang Fei slightly clenched his fists, "I want the Taishou Mansion to provide enough meat for 5,000 soldiers, one meal a day for the first five days, two meals after five days, and three meals after half a month, step by step, increase the intensity of training, and improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers." ”

"Sure?" Gong Jingmian asked with a sinking face, this is indeed a big pressure, and I am afraid that the Taishou Mansion alone will not be able to make it up.

Zhang Fei gave birth to three fingers, and when Gong Jing saw this, his eyebrows furrowed, "There are only three layers." ”

"Lord Taishou, the odds of being able to have three layers of training in one month are not low," Zhang Fei's face was bitter, "If you give me half a year, five thousand defenders face off against seventy thousand Yellow Turban soldiers, not to mention sweeping, there is absolutely no problem in defeating them." After a pause, Zhang Fei said again, "Now, the Yellow Turban occupies the time, the people, and we only occupy the geographical advantage, so we can barely compete with the Yellow Turban Thief." ”

At the moment, Gong Jing said with a fluke mentality, "Why don't you wait a few more months, and then fight the Yellow Turban with more chances?" ”

Zhang Fei shook his head, "Lord Taishou, this is unrealistic, the Yellow Turban Thief will not give you time to train." For a maximum of three months, the Yellow Turban Bandits will attack the city in large numbers. When the time comes, Pingling County will face an army of 70,000 and will not be able to hold it; Moreover, the grain and grass in the city can support three or five months at most, and if the food of the soldiers is increased, the grain and grass in the city will not last long. So, a month later, he made a surprise attack and broke the yellow scarf. ”

"Okay, I promise you", Gong Jing gritted his teeth, and his elegant face showed ruthlessness, "I will gather the families in the city to provide grain, grass, and meat, and as for the training, I will ask Yide and Yun Chang." ”

Zhang Fei didn't dare to pack the ticket, "I'll do my best!" ”

After a while, Taishou Gong Jing summoned the heads of several large and small families in the city to the Taishou Mansion, and concisely talked about the crisis in Pingling County and Zhang Fei's requirements.

There was silence in the Taishou Mansion, and Gong Jing, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei had extremely ugly faces, and they saw more than a dozen people present looking at their noses and noses, looking like they had nothing to do with themselves.

"Bang," At that moment, Zhang Fei angrily smashed the dwarf case in front of him a few times, which frightened several family heads into a big jump. Suddenly, there was a middle-aged head of the family with a big belly, a neatly trimmed beard, a turquoise straight-lined robe, and a scarf on his head, frowning, "General Yide, this is the Taishou Mansion, why are you smashing the case?" ”

"Why?" Zhang Fei got up and said to Gong Jing with a calm face, "Lord Taishou, in this case, it's not that my brothers don't want to help you defend the city, it's really powerless, you still pack up and leave from the West Gate with my brothers, and we will protect you from Qingzhou." ”
