When the horse's heartbeat returned to normal, Lu Bu got on the horse and led people to the outside of Tuzhong City to continue to fight the morale of the soldiers defending the city, he wanted to minimize the morale of Yuan Shu's army as much as possible, and wait for Zhang Liao's army to break through Chaohu Zheng Bao, so that he could not resist the long-lasting stalemate with Yuan Shu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"General Ji Ling, we meet again." Lu Bu came to the city and shouted to the city tower.

Ji Ling secretly ordered the soldiers to prepare the rocks and rolling logs, and looked forward to Lu Bu's strong attack. Ji Ling cautiously came to the arrow battlement to talk, he couldn't help but be careless, when the Yuanmen shot the halberd, Ji Ling was one of the witnesses, he knew that Lu Bu's archery skills were not under the martial arts, and he was careful to guard against Lu Bu's cold arrows.

"General Lu has a deep friendship with His Majesty, not only did he tear up the marriage again, why did he send troops to invade the country?"

"I am a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shu is a thief who steals the country, how can I not crusade against him because of his personal abolition? How can my daughter marry a rebel and a thief? Lu Bu and Yuan Shu have a bullshit relationship, and he doesn't bother to explain more on this issue, nor does he bother to explain that Yuan Shu is preparing to attack Guangling first, and condemning Yuan Shu everywhere is the last word.

Lu Bu's voice changed, and he persuaded: "General Ji is a rare general, and now that my army is pressing the city, why not open the city and surrender and report to the Son of Heaven." ”

"I have been eating the Zhong clan for a long time, how can I surrender in battle, and only fight to the death to serve Your Majesty Longen. General Lu only managed to attack the city. ”

To tell the truth, Lu Bu was really not optimistic about Ji Ling, and in the entire great Three Kingdoms era, he bubbled up, and then he made a merit for others. Now it seems that at least he is still a loyal general, and Yuan Shu will not abandon him when he is down. Needless to say, Ji Ling's commander was inferior to Zang Ba, not to mention the force, he was only capable of fighting Guan Yu for about thirty rounds, and Lu Bu persuaded him to surrender just to test Yuan Shujun's determination to this big battle.

"Okay, General Ji is guarding the city, I'll come back in a few days." After Lu Bu finished speaking, he took the archery battalion to bypass Tuzhong and advanced in the direction of Chengde to the west.

When Ji Ling saw Lu Bu's cavalry heading west, he shouted, "Not good! Lu Bu wanted to cut off the food route of our army, and quickly wrote a battle report and sent it to His Majesty Chengde, so that His Majesty could send more people to guard the grain team. ”

On this day, Cao Cao and his subordinates were discussing the matter of Yuan Shao in Hebei Province in the palace.

Suddenly, someone reported that the battle of Xuzhou arrived. When Cao Cao heard that another war report was sent from Xuzhou, he was shocked, damn Lu Bu, and he was making trouble in Xuzhou again.

Cao Cao took the battle report and looked at it, frowned, and asked suspiciously, "What does Sun Ce mean by this?" ”

Guo Jia took the battle report and looked at it, and said after half a sound: "I'm afraid this is Xu Shu's plan to drive the wolf and chase the tiger." The day before yesterday, Shouchun came with the news, Yuan Shu was rectifying the army and horses, Lu Bu was attacked on three sides, with Xu Shu Chen Gong's talent, it is not difficult to find that Guangling is a dead end, if you want to survive, only jump out of this dead end, so calculated, Lu Bu should abandon Guangling County, turn to Shouchun, and give Guangling to Sun Ce to contain our army. ”

Xun Yu said: "If Lu Bu gets Shouchun as the foundation, he will definitely refer to Xuzhou, and then Xuzhou will be in danger." ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "After we don't talk about it, the tens of thousands of troops in front of us will be defeated, and the Huai'an defense line will collapse, I'm afraid that Sun Ce will take Xuzhou by Lu Bu first." ”

Cheng Yu thought for a while and said: "Since Lu Bu gave up Guangling with the strategy of driving wolves and chasing tigers, our army can also govern his people in the same way, give up the entire Xuzhou, let Sun Ce and Lu Bu compete for Xuzhou, and wait for the two to be tired. ”

Liu Bei saw Cao Cao's expression, and said in his heart that this was an opportunity to get out, and got up and said, "Otherwise." In Lu Bu's army, Chen Gong and Xu Shu couldn't see through Mr.'s plan? If it is said that Sun Ce will be moved, Xuzhou will be divided equally, and then he will cooperate with Yuan Shao of Hebei, how can Xuchang be guaranteed? ”

Liu Bei pointed to Cao Cao/Death Cave in one sentence, a Hebei Yuan Shao asked him for half his old life, and Lu Bu made him even more nervous, plus did Sun Ce still let him live?

Cao Cao was struck by lightning, stayed on the spot, and asked, "What should I do?" ”

Liu Bei talked eloquently: "The people that Lu Bu is afraid of, Yun Chang and Yi Deye, these two people are here, and Lu Bu will not dare to offend Xuzhou." Although Sun Ce, the son of Jiangdong, is brave, he is invincible to Lu Bu, and he does not dare to violate the realm, once Sun Ce can not cross Huaiyin, he will lead troops west into Shouchun, flank Lu Bu, and then annihilate Yuan Shu, and when this tripartite melee, prepare to lead an army out of Xuzhou, and Shouchun can be determined. ”

Cheng Yu saw Cao Cao's intentions, and approached him and reminded in a whisper: "If you send Liu Bei to lead the troops away from Xuchang today, I am afraid that the tiger will return to the mountain, so it is better to kill him to prevent future troubles." ”

Chen Qun heard Cheng Yu's words clearly, and stepped forward to persuade: "Liu Xuande's reputation for righteousness spreads all over the world, and he made a heavy oath on the shore of Huaishui that day, how can he rebel?" Killing him will make the prime minister bear the infamy of being intolerable. Chen Qun turned his head and ridiculed Cheng Yu: "Isn't it that the prime minister doesn't need your strategy to drive wolves and tigers, so he will stop you?" ”

Guo Jia was blinded by the very unfavorable situation in front of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's situation was even more dangerous than that of Lu Bu, who was still dying. At least Lu Bu will not be attacked by the crowd of the world, once Cao Cao loses, the world will be angry, all his thoughts are on Yuan Shao in Hebei, and he doesn't care too much about the arguments in the hall.

Cao Cao believes too much in Liu Bei's oath, now the world is looking for righteous words, if Liu Bei dares to break his word and break his trust in the world, it is not to be afraid, so why not let him lead the troops away from Xuchang? Cao Cao didn't know that Liu Bei had already pinched a trick in his hands, and as soon as Dong Cheng's edict came out, Liu Bei immediately raised the banner to rebel, taking the protection of the ancestral foundation as the great righteousness, and no one would care about his betrayal of Cao Cao's small righteousness.

Cao Cao originally felt that Cheng Yu was reasonable, but when he heard Chen Qun say that it was because his plan was not adopted, he held a grudge, and immediately put Cheng Yu's warning out of his mind, and said to the court: "Liu Xuande listened to the order, and the prime minister ordered your governor to defend Xuzhou with 30,000 horses, and Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao were the deputy generals, and they went together."

The three of you must work together to defeat a strong enemy, and you must not fight among yourself. Cao Cao explained to the three of them earnestly.

Cheng Yu could only watch Liu Bei leave the lobby with Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao and go out to reorganize the army. scolded Chen Qun: "The erector is not enough and conspiracy!" After finishing speaking, Cheng Yu shook his hand and left the lobby.

Cao Cao watched Cheng Yu leave, very dissatisfied, he didn't do what he did, and now he came to provoke the relationship between him and Liu Bei, and sighed: "Cheng Zhongde mistook me!" So far, I haven't seen Xu Shu's mother come to Xuchang, I am afraid that she has already been taken by Lu Bujie. ”

Dong Zhao gritted his teeth when he saw Cao Cao mentioning Lu Bu, hating to eat his flesh, and relieved his worries: "Since I can't recruit Xu Shu to Xuchang, I recommend one person, who can be placed next to Lu Bu and wait for the opportunity to assassinate Xu Shu and Chen Gong and spy on Lu Bu's military intelligence." ”

"Who's there?" Cao Cao asked in surprise.

"Zhang Le, the son of Zhang Yang." Dong Zhao said.

After hearing this, Cao Cao excitedly slapped the case: "I almost forgot about this person." This man's old mother, wife, and children are all in my hands, how dare he not obey my orders. ”

Dong Zhao nodded and agreed: "What's more important is that Lu Bu will not defend this person, and he will seek Lu Buyi." ”

Dong Zhao was originally Zhang Yang's strategist, but later transferred to Cao Cao's account, and knew more about Zhang Yang and Lu Bu's friendship. After Zhang Yang's death, Dong Zhao recruited Zhang Yang's old generals, and Zhang Yang's wife and children all fell into the hands of Cao Cao.

"Okay, this matter must be carefully arranged, so that Lu Bu can't see the clue and make him suspicious."

——————————————————

Zhang Liao ordered the army to attack Liyang lightly.

Sun Kang received Lü Bu's order and knew that the reinforcements were about to arrive, so he defended the city and let Zheng Bao's army scold under the city.

The only strength of the generals of Mount Tai is that they can endure and be obscene, no matter how Zheng Bao outside the city scolds, Sun Kang stands on the city tower with a green face, but he is unmoved. Several times he stopped the request of several of his subordinates, who could not stand the insults, to open the city to meet the enemy.

Zang Ba put up a pergola in his hand and looked at the sun: "As long as I wait for tonight, reinforcements will arrive tomorrow at the latest." ”

"General, if you defend for a long time, you will lose, the enemy army is afraid that the siege equipment has already been built, why don't you go out of the city and destroy the enemy's siege equipment?" One of the lieutenants suggested.

Sun Kang didn't say anything, he heard a neat shout from outside the city, Sun Kang walked to the city wall and looked out, the dense enemy army carried dozens of ladders, Sun Kang had a premonition in his heart, it should be Zheng Bao who detected Zhang Liao's army to come to help, and planned to wait for Zhang Liao to take Liyang when he arrived. The march of tens of thousands of troops, as long as they do not deliberately hide their whereabouts, can easily be spied out.

"Listen to the people in the city, surrender at this time can still leave you a dog's life, if our army breaks through the city, then the chickens and dogs will not be left, and the city will be slaughtered for three days." Zheng Bao sent soldiers to threaten outside the city, he couldn't threaten Sun Kang, and decided to start with the people in the city, and his prestige shocked Huainan.

Many people in the city who were demolishing bricks heard the roar outside the city, and unconsciously stopped moving, just wanting to open the city gate. When a young general saw it, he hurriedly persuaded Sun Kang: "General, Zheng Bao has accumulated a lot of prestige in Huainan, and the people in the city are ready to move, I'm afraid that they won't be able to defend the city." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, the lord has an order, be sure to keep tonight, otherwise what face will my Taishan generals have to gain a foothold under the lord's account? You take people to patrol, and if someone moves to kill or bury them, I will help you bear it in front of the lord. "Sun Kang has no choice, if there is no reinforcement coming, he will abandon the city and leave, there is still reason to say. His brother was captured by Ji Lingsheng again, and if he lost the city again today, his two brothers would only become a joke.

Zheng Bao didn't give Sun Kang much time to lay out at all, and as soon as the army arrived in the city, he ordered the whole army to attack the city, attacking the west, south, and north gates at the same time, leaving the east gate for Sun Kang to leave the city.

Sun Kang had only a thousand soldiers in total, and less than three hundred were assigned to each city gate.

"Pass my order, drive all the men of the city to the city gate to assist in the defense of the city, and the soldiers under my command will be assigned one hundred and fifty men to each gate, one hundred will lead the people to defend the city, and fifty will be the overseers." Sun Kang was temporarily arranged.

He didn't expect Zheng Bao to suddenly attack the city in full force. As long as the opponent has a city to defend, the number of sacrifices on the besieging side is very large.

The drums of war outside the city sounded, officially announcing the start of the siege.

Sun Kang's heart tightened, and with four hundred soldiers, he stood at the gate of the county government with a knife: "If the enemy army goes up to the city wall, come and report to me quickly." ”
