The continuous drizzle over Huarong brought a hint of greenery to this early spring, forming a sharp contrast with the solemn atmosphere under Huarong City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Above the city, Liu Pan, who was wearing a hat, and the generals in the left and right rows, all looked solemn and had sharp eyes, even ordinary people could see that these people were all generals with extraordinary abilities.

"County Magistrate Li, has all the grain in the city been concentrated?" Looking at the dense Jiangdong camp tent under the city, Liu Pan looked back at Li Yan, the Huarong chief next to him, and asked with a calm expression.

"12,000 stone of grain, all sealed and stored, 2,700 households in the city, a total of 13,865 people, are also confined to their homes, and the head of the household goes to the county government every day to receive rice porridge." Li Yanzi Zhengfang, a native of Nanyang County, was known for his talent when he was a teenager, and successively served as the county magistrate and county magistrate of several counties, and Huarong Chang was already the fourth county magistrate transferred. Although this person is talented, he has a proud temperament and is not compatible with others, so that he has been transferred to four places in three years, but he has never been able to go further.

"Well done, I'll leave it to you for the safety of the people in the city." Liu Pan praised it, and turned to Xi Zhen and said: "Wenxiang, the food in our army should also be saved, although Lu Su was defeated in Luo County, and a batch of grain was collected, it is estimated that it will be enough to support a month, right?" ”

"General rest assured, one thick and one thin is enough to supply for forty days." Xi Zhen raised his voice and replied.

"Forty days is enough." Liu Pan showed a sneer, retracted his gaze and said: "Han Lie is good at using strange soldiers, in order to prevent the enemy from attacking, all parts of the city must be strictly guarded, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"General rest assured, although Huarong is small, but small also has small benefits, the north and south arches have been blocked, and the east and west gates are controlled by me and General Hansheng, and they are safeguarded." Wen Ping replied in a deep voice.

"Then please, 30,000 against 40,000, we are not without the strength to fight, then let Han Lie have a good look at the power of my Jingzhou soldiers and horses." Liu Pan's tone was full of fighting spirit, the reason why he had this confidence was that he had 20,000 horses under his account, but he trained it with his own hands, whether it was equipment or the quality of soldiers, it was definitely second to none among the armies in Jingzhou.

And the 10,000 horses under Wenpin's account are also a strong army, and even Liu Pan has publicly praised Wenpin as the first general in Jingzhou.

Han Lie's camp outside the city.

In the huge tent, there is a brazier in the middle, and above the brazier is a copper tripod, and in the copper tripod of three feet square, a thick mutton and fresh fish soup is boiling at the moment, and the fresh fragrance can be smelled even if it is a mile away.

"Lord, your mutton boiled fish soup, it is really good, and if you don't open the banquet, my saliva will flow out." Dian Wei, who was sitting on the right seat, swallowed his saliva and shouted.

"This person hasn't arrived yet, so you can endure it again?" Han Lie asked with a smile.

"These guys, knowing that the lord invited them to a banquet, are still grinding." Dian Wei muttered, and just saw him walking in with Tai Shici's probe, so he smiled and complained: "I said Ziyi, you are a cavalry general, why are you slower than me as a foot general?" You can't come here on a bull ride, do you? ”

"You just came here on a bull." Tai Shi Ci replied with a smile, and while saluting Han Lie, he saw that there were still people who had not arrived, so he spoke again: "Old Dian, it seems that there are still people who are later than me, right?" ”

"Gao Shunbei, this old Gao is boring, he doesn't drink, and he keeps a straight face all day long, which is really boring." Dian Wei thought of Gao Shun's temperament, and he could only shake his head.

"Lao Dian, everyone wants to be like you, and the lord must not be eaten poor by you?" Zhao Yun replied jokingly and said: "General Gao is in charge of the Chinese army, strict with himself, sympathetic to the soldiers, innocent and majestic, these are all worthy of our learning." ”

"Hehe, there's no way, I'm just able to eat and drink, I can't change it." Dian Wei didn't smile disappreciatively, and shouted to Ding Feng under the tent: "Go, urge General Gao Shun, just say that the lord is waiting for him to discuss the military situation?" ”

"General Dian, you lied about the military situation again, this time I don't want to participate in Zhang Changshi." Gao Shun just walked in, and he was taking off his hat and coat, obviously just returning from inspecting the camp.

"Don't, don't, don't be like this, you can laugh a few words, if you really let Zhang Changshi know, I can't be a few days old?" When Dian Wei heard that Gao Shun was going to visit Zhang Zhao, he was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Haha!" A group of civil and military generals in the camp couldn't help laughing when they saw Dian Wei's expression of admitting defeat.

If you want to say that this Dian Wei is not afraid of heaven and earth, he has a bold temperament, he can say whatever he wants, but he also has a very friendly relationship with the generals in the army, and even Guo Jiaxun and the two of them are not concerned about the straightforward and brave Dian Wei, and the rudeness in some subsections, but Zhang Zhao is the only one who always holds on.

I remember again, Dian Wei was drunk at the banquet after the sacrifice, and was caught by Zhang Zhao, it was a good preaching, and in the end, it was even more said that Dian Wei, an eight-foot man, had lost his temper and had to keep begging for mercy, but Zhang Zhao never forged forgiveness, if it wasn't for Han Lie's intercession later, Dian Wei really wanted to cry.

Although because of Han Lie's intercession, Zhang Zhao released Dian Wei that time, but later Zhang Zhao was always correcting Dian Wei, as long as he had the slightest rudeness or vulgar behavior, Zhang Zhao would quote the scriptures and preach, so that later Dian Wei talked about Zhang Zhao and changed color.

Poor Dian Wei, a fierce soldier on the battlefield, in the face of Zhang Zhao's stubborn and stubborn character, he really has no way, he really can't beat and scold. After all, Zhang Zhao's identity is the long history of governance under the account of the general's mansion, and now he is also the general of the Fujun army, which is really the head of the hundred officials, and he has the right to supervise the hundred civil and military officials in Jiangdong.

"General Gao, I think this matter is going to be done, and if I need to testify at that time, I promise to attend." Xu Chu, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly burst into a coax, causing Dian Wei to jump to his feet and shout: "Don't bully people like this, Lao Xu, I treat you as a brother, do you treat your brother like this?" ”

"Brothers return to brothers, and meals can return to meals. Every time I eat and drink, I remember that you never remembered, I was a brother, right? Xu Chu pointed to Dian Wei but counted the old accounts, you must know that these two people are the big stomach kings under Han Lie's account, if they are open to eat, these two people can fully digest a fifty catties of fat sheep.

"Count you ruthless." Speaking of eating, Dian Wei had no choice but to admit it.

"Okay, it's enough today, everyone can eat it, it will be regarded as a reward before the war, eat a good meal today, cheer up tomorrow, and have a good meeting with Liu Pan'er." Han Lie waved his hand and shouted, "Put on the buns and serve the broth." ”

As Han Lie's words fell, a team of sergeants under the tent carried a plate of five fist-sized, white-flowered mutton chives and chives in front of the generals, and in front of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, there were a full twenty. There is also a large bowl of lamb and fresh fish soup, and a pot of sour vinegar.

Don't drink alcohol in the army, this is what Han Lie has always strictly requires, and the generals will naturally not knowingly commit crimes, today Han Lie called the generals to eat, one is to let everyone taste his fresh fish and mutton soup, but also to talk about the next Huarong battle. As for the buns in front of everyone, they are not a new thing for a long time, although there are no buns in this era, but Han Lie has long been popularized in the army, in his army, he usually eats a meal of buns in ten days, but it is generally pork, but there is very little mutton filling, after all, the value of mutton is not cheap.

Only the sour vinegar on the table is a product that has existed for a long time, and in this era of no chili peppers and lack of seasonings, vinegar is undoubtedly the most appetizing condiment, and even many people drink it directly as wine.

On a rainy day in early spring, the weather was humid and cold, drinking hot soup and sour vinegar had some effect on preventing colds, which Han Lie knew, and this was also one of the purposes of his reward for the three armies today.

Han Lie, who was sitting on the tiger skin coat, ate three mutton buns, drank a bowl of broth, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and saw that some people had already eaten, so he said: "Lusu They have no news, but there is no news about their total annihilation, so the biggest possibility is that they have gone deep into Yunmengze, with my understanding of Lu Zijing, as long as there is a chance, he will definitely go north, then he is very likely to appear in Jingling, Huarong, Wulin and other places at any time, so scouts from all walks of life should always pay attention." ”

"In addition, although Huarong in front of you is a small city, Liu Pan has 30,000 troops in his hands, and they are all elite soldiers, so there will be a hard battle next, you must supervise the soldiers under your account, you must work hard, but you can't easily take most of our Jingzhou, a small city in front of you, and the pride of not being a problem at all."

"According to the information I know, Liu Pan has 20,000 elites under his account, and he has a general surnamed Huang Mingzhong, this person is not to mention the bravery, and he is good at passing through Yang in a hundred steps, it is said that the strong bow in the hand of this person is a bowstring made of python skin, and the strength of the non-three stones is not enough to open the bow, and he is called the magic arrow Huang Zhong. This is one of them, in addition, Liu Pan's pioneer Wen Ping, who is also brave and abnormal, not to mention, and this person is also known as the first general in Jingzhou, and Liu Pan is not a weakling, it can be said that these three people together are definitely fierce rivals. ”

"Of course, more importantly, these are momentary heroes, if you can take it for your own use, it is the best policy, so when fighting, you must not only fight, but also capture alive, which will add difficulty to us in the battle, so you must be cautious."

"Whoa." When the generals heard the words and remembered them, they responded one after another.

Han Lie nodded, and continued: "According to the tactics I discussed with the two military advisors, in this battle, we will first use the method of fighting to explore the details of the other party, and at the same time preserve our own strength. ”

"In addition, according to the speculation of the two military divisions, there must be not much food and grass in the city, as long as we consume it with the enemy, even if we do not fight the enemy, the defenders in the city will inevitably take the initiative to take the offensive later, and this process may be long, so the generals must restrain the military discipline and always boost the morale of the army, and if the morale of the enemy does not drop, our morale will be exhausted."

"Rest assured, my lord, such a thing will definitely not happen." When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but smile and respond.

The next day, the weather cleared.

Han Lie personally led 10,000 horses and led the Chinese army to Huarong City to fight. Before the military formation, Han Lie rode on horseback and stood on the left and right respectively, and was the second general Xu Chudianwei, followed by Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and Ding Feng Ding Feng brothers, followed by Cai Zhong, Cai He and other generals who returned to Jingzhou, and Gao Shun and Guo Jiaxun sat in Dazhai.

"Cai Zhong, go shout." Han Lie, who was wearing silver bright light armor, wore a red Shu brocade robe on his shoulders, sat down and rode on a snow-white high war horse claw Huang Feidian, Han Lie, who was standing in front of the battle with a horse chopping knife, looked at Liu Panjun who was waiting for the battle at the head of the city, and then raised his voice and ordered Cai Zhong to go and call the battle.

"I am the general's general Cai Zhong, the defenders at the head of the city listen, now the general gives you a chance, as long as the city is opened and surrendered, there is no blame for the past, and there is a reward, otherwise you will regret breaking through the city."

"Betrayal villain, eat me with an arrow." Just when Cai Zhong was shouting, a general at the head of the city scolded, bent his bow and shot arrows, Cai Zhong, who was three hundred steps away from the head of the city, did not expect that the enemy general at the head of the city would have such a marksman, and he couldn't dodge it, and died on the horse.

"Such a divine shooting skill is really what I have seen in my life, is this person Huang Zhong?" The generals in front of the formation saw Cai Zhong, who was hit by the arrow, and when he was shot by the iron arrow, his whole body was shocked by the powerful impact of the iron arrow, and his eyes suddenly doubled.

"It's not bad, Huang Hansheng really lives up to his reputation." Han Lie nodded, and then raised his voice: "Shield hand, go and carry General Cai's corpse back." ”

As the shield bearer rushed forward, Han Lie immediately shouted, "Beat the drum and blow the trumpet, shout and curse and fight in the city." ”

As the war drums sounded, the defenders at the head of the city also clenched their weapons for a while, but after waiting, they found that the soldiers and horses under the city did not attack the city, but shouted and began to fight.

"General, the enemy is fighting, whether to fight." Han Xuan glanced at Han Lie's 10,000 horses under the city, and asked with some emotion.

"Ignore it, let them fight." Liu Pan was unmoved, his purpose was to hold on to January and look for fighters in the opportunity to consume Han Lie, so he would not rush to fight on the first day.

"General, but what they scold is too ugly, you listen, they are scolding the general for being a disloyal and unfilial coward." General Zhang Wu shouted indignantly.

"General, just now Cai Zhong's traitor was shot by General Huang with an arrow, but Han Lie did not dare to attack the city, this is obviously afraid of the general's reputation, if the general is afraid for a long time, it will damage morale, and increase the enemy's prestige, which is not good for the army, and the last general will ask for a battle, and he will meet Han Lie." A quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye, but Liu Pan remained unmoved, and the military Sima Wei Yan, who was bent on showing his ambitions and methods, couldn't help but go out to ask for battle.
