"Zhang Xiu is blocked in Bowangpo, how to attack it?" Lu Bu asked. The best way to www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion is to burn with fire, but Bowang Slope is not a slope, once it burns up, it does not burn for ten days and a half months, and the fire does not want to be extinguished. In ten days and a half months, Zhang Yun could have waited for Huang Zhong's reinforcements to arrive, and a fierce general like Huang Zhong led a group of elite soldiers, and Lu Bu couldn't attack at all, so he could only outwit him. However, if you want to outwit the enemy, you can't just think about it, and the conditions for implementing it are even more difficult than a strong attack. If you add the Wen Ping on the west bank of the river, if you cross the river to clamp it, Lu Bu Xinye's grain, grass and army are very dangerous.

In the face of the gap in equipment, just as a certain party's millions of military personnel cannot pile up a certain small book, manpower is sometimes poor.

"There are two ways, first, quickly break through Wancheng and force Zhang Xiu to surrender, and the other way is to transfer the grain to Runan before Zhang Yun's army has not yet chased, but in this way, we must always guard against Zhang Xiu of Bowangpo harassing our grain brigade, if he lets our army turn the world upside down, the gains outweigh the losses."

"The second method is not to mention the loss of money and labor, the risk is too high, if the grain and grass are transferred to Runan, Zhang Xiu will definitely send troops to burn our army's grain and grass. Besides, after transporting the grain and grass to Runan, it still has to be transported to Wancheng again, and the grain consumed in the middle is not a small amount. In this case, there is only one way left to break Wancheng and force Zhang Xiu to surrender. Lu Bu finally decided.

"In this way, it must be decided quickly, and Wancheng must be taken before Zhang Yun and Huang Zhong's army chase." Zhang Liao said.

"I'm free to do that. How well the river was dug. Lu Bu asked.

"I have just strengthened a section of the upper reaches of the Huai River, and I haven't dug much of the river channel that has been re-excavated." Xu Shu replied.

"Order Chen Ang to block Yingshui in Anfengjin, and let the water flood the vast land on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River." Lu Bu said.

"Didn't the lord always hate the flooding of the embankment? Why is that? Gao Shun and other generals didn't understand what Lu Bu meant.

Xu Shu said with a smile: "Don't be impatient, although it is the flood season now, as long as the embankment is not broken, the river overflowing the riverbed little by little will not cause very serious consequences." The meaning of the lord's move was to delay Liu Biao in Jingzhou, so that Liu Biao would send more men to dig the river to reduce the pressure on our army, and at the same time the water would flood the land and the roads would be muddy, making it more difficult for Huang Zhong's reinforcements to march and delay his pursuit. ”

"Send someone to tell Shouchun to guard Chen Ang too much, always pay attention to the movements of Liu Xun's army in Lujiang, I am worried that Liu Xun will use troops at Chaohu Lu Xun. If Chaohu Lake is in an emergency, Chen Ang must rescue Lu Xun and the others at all costs. Lu Bu was more worried about Lu Lingqi and Lu Xun, Zhang Hu, Gao Chao and others in the rear, these people were all very important people in Lu Bu, and they could not afford to lose.

"Why don't you send Huainan, Runan and other places to Liu Biao?" Xu Shu suddenly proposed: "Liu Biao has suffered a secret loss this time, and he is very dissatisfied in his heart, and these two places are not something that we can hold for a long time, so it is better to give them to Liu Biao to reduce his anger." ”

"It's a really good idea." Lu Bu said, but this doesn't seem to be much different from the compensation for land cutting, Lu Bu couldn't swallow this breath.

"The lord doesn't need to mind, this is an expedient measure, and in time I will plan the entire Jingzhou under the lord's command." Xu Shu saw that Lu Bu was a little reluctant and persuaded.

"I understand what you said, once I leave Runan, Huainan and other places, Sun Ce or Cao Cao is likely to take the opportunity to send troops to occupy Huainan, and this result is not what I want to see. But Liu Biao is not stupid, he may not want it even if I give him it for nothing. Needless to say, Huainan is too far away from Jingzhou, and Runan is too close to Xuchang, and Liu Biao may not receive these two places. Lu Bu said. Liu Biao sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and it is very likely that he would not wade into this Tan muddy water.

"But blatantly sending Runan and Huainan to Liu Biao runs the risk of exposing my ultimate intentions." Lu Bu said.

Xu Shu smiled bitterly: "The lord may not know that Cao Cao has sent Zhong Xuan to integrate Ma Teng, Han Sui and others in Guanzhong. ”

"What! It's been a long time? Lu Bu was shocked and sweated coldly. According to history, Zhong Xuan should have gone to Guanzhong a long time ago, the overall history has been slowly changed, and Lu Bu is not dead, but I didn't expect Zhong Xuan to go to Guanzhong, once Zhong Xuan integrates the forces in Guanzhong, Lu Bu may not be able to take Guanzhong with 100,000 elites.

"I just got the news, too."

"I will write a letter to Liu Biao, not only to Runan, Huainan, and even Wancheng to him, the only request is that he remove Fangling Taishou Kuaiqi." Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said with determination. Taking Wancheng is already a certainty, and he gave all the territory to Liu Biao in order to paralyze the forces of all parties. Lu Bu exchanged this completely unequal condition for Fang Ling, as long as he was not too stupid, he could see that Lu Bu wanted to attack Hanzhong along the Han River from Fang Ling, and no one thought that Lu Bu was bankrupt in order to paralyze the princes of all parties.

"The lord's plan is clever, presumably all parties have also received that it was the lord who spread the news in Hanzhong and Chengdu, which once again proves the lord's idea of wanting to take Hanzhong. And Liu Biao and Liu Zhang have contradictions, Liu Biao very much hopes that after the lord takes Hanzhong, he will send troops to Jiange and other places to contain the Yizhou army, Liu Biao is likely to secretly enter Badong from Ligui, thinking about dividing Yizhou with the lord. Xu Shu said.

"Time is not waiting, Zhong Xuan's entry into the pass has seriously affected the final success or failure of our army, this matter has reached the point where there can no longer be any mistakes, I want to go north to Wancheng immediately, and take Wancheng first. Xu Shu led the army to attack Zhang Xiu's army in Changbanpo, if Jia Xu set fire, even if he cut an isolation belt, he would also transfer the army and grain and grass to the north as soon as possible. But is anyone willing to stay in the new wilderness? Lu Bu hurriedly gave the order, and then asked.

"The end will not be talented, and I am willing to break the queen." Hao Zhao got up and said.

"What does Zhang Liao mean?" Lu Bu asked Zhang Liao, once Hao Zhao stays behind, he will slowly break away from Zhang Liao's command in the future and lead an army alone. Lu Bu first had to consider Zhang Liao's thoughts.

"Congratulations to the lord for another great talent. I originally intended to recommend General Hao Zhao to the lord, but I was afraid that he would not be able to take on the big responsibility. The ability he showed the day before yesterday was witnessed by all, and it was up to him to break off without worry. Zhang Liao said.

The candidates who left the broken ones were none other than Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were the most suitable, but they also had to give newcomers the opportunity to exercise and perform, and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun did not compete, nodding in agreement.

Xinye handed over all the arrangements for Lu Bu to Xu Shu, he didn't stop, sent someone to cross the river, and went straight to Wancheng without waiting for Wen Ping to make any extra moves.

Lü Bu didn't know whether Wen Ping's northward march would hold him south to Jingzhou or send troops to Wancheng to rescue Zhang Xiu, and he had to take Wancheng before Wen Ping's army arrived in Wancheng and Zhang Yun and Huang Zhong's army arrived in Xinye. Lu Bu's cavalry came and went like the wind, Wen Ping should not send Liu Hu to lead the Jingzhou cavalry to pursue alone, Liu Hu's cavalry was only beaten in front of Lu Bu's archers.

Liu Ye's thunderbolt is very simple, except for the necessary load-bearing tripods, which are made of hardwood, the other parts are extremely simple and replaced with raw bamboo poles, and the most important part of the chariot, that is, the lever that provides elastic force, is also a long raw bamboo pole. The entire chariot can be carried by only four soldiers.

Lu Bu returned to the camp outside Wancheng, and after seeing Liu Ye's thunderbolt car, he issued the first military order: "Pass the order, all soldiers must not defecate tonight, and transport the feces in the manure tank to the outside of Wancheng, and attack the city tomorrow!" ”

Liu Ye instantly understood what Lu Bu was going to do, his whole face was very ugly, he didn't expect this to be the thunder stone that Lu Bu was talking about! It's really insulting, where is this siege, it's completely to make a fool of yourself.

Lu Bu didn't wait for some of the people in the hall to react to object, he also knew that this joke would be the laughing stock of his life if the other princes knew, but now is not the time to care about personal gains and losses, once he fails and dies, there is no one who even laughs at him, he can only attack Wancheng as much as possible. Lu Bu diverted the topic and said, "How is the grain harvest near Wancheng?" ”

"In addition to Xiangcheng, many counties under the rule of Nanyang County have been harvested, with a total of 600,000 stone of grain and grass." Zang Ba said.

"Wancheng 600,000 stones, plus Xinye's 800,000 stones, and Runan's grain storage of more than 300,000 stones, if you count the grain harvested by Chaohu Lu Xun, there can barely be 17.8 million stones, and then plunder part of the grain and grass from the war, and buy from the market, it should not be a big problem to spend next year." Lu Bu finally let go of the big stone in his heart, and now the only thing he is worried about is how to safely transport the new wild grain and grass to Wancheng, otherwise the previous work is to give Liu Biao free labor.

"The problem of grain and grass is solved, shouldn't the general discuss tomorrow's siege strategy?" Lu Meng asked.

"What strategy does this require? Isn't it that Liu Ziyang has already built a thunderbolt? One word, desperate attack! "If there is a strategy to attack the city, does Lu Bu still need to go south to delay Wen Ping for a few days to buy time to build a thunderbolt?

Next.

The drums of war are in the sky. Wancheng, which has been quiet for more than ten days, once again ushered in the atmosphere of a big war.

As soon as the morning dawned, Zhang Quan was awakened by the sound of war drums outside the city, and hurriedly put on his armor and climbed the city wall. Since the arrival of Lu Bu's army in Wancheng, except for the first day of the Woniu Mountain bandits, Zhang Quan has never seen a real soldier of Lu Bu, and he thought that Lu Bu would return to Shouchun after grabbing the grain.

Outside the city, a column of soldiers set up a battle array, and at the front of the large array were twenty or thirty small chariots lined up, and Zhang Quan couldn't see the use of these small chariots.

"How did Lu Bu's army arrange its troops?" Zhang Quan asked.

Jamu replied: "There is a shortage of one of the three sieges, among which there are the most soldiers outside the east gate, and there is no soldier at the south gate." ”

"Sir, do you think Lu Bu will attack?" Zhang Quan did not believe in Lu Bu's arrangement, and the northeast corner was the strongest section of the city wall in Wancheng.

"The former famous general Zhu Jun attacked the Wancheng Yellow Turban Thieves with the strategy of attacking the east and the west; Last year, Cao Cao attacked Wancheng again, but my father saw through it and fell short. Lu Bu's move is just a blow to the west. Jamu said. The city wall in the southwest corner is relatively weak, if Lu Bu wants to storm Wancheng, the best siege stage is the southwest corner, because the southwest corner is full of rocks, the moat is shallow and narrow, and the city wall is not as grand as the east gate.
