Hefei is the seat of Huainan County, located in the most central area of the whole Huainan, in addition to the passage connecting the Central Plains states, its prosperity is not Huainan County other cities can be compared, in the whole Huainan, in addition to Yuan Shu is now located in Shouchun City, Hefei is the most important city, if Hefei is lost, it can almost be said that most of Huainan has been lost.

"This is still not enough people, and we need to arrange some people to patrol the night!"

Late at night, on the tall city wall of Hefei City, but there was still the light of torches everywhere, showing a different kind of soft light, Zhang Xun accompanied by the deputy general and personal guards on the side, while inspecting the soldiers on the city wall, while whispering.

"General, after all, it's night, it's already good to have five thousand soldiers come to patrol the night, after all, tomorrow during the day, you have to guard against the enemy army under the city, and the soldiers are not happy to stay up late!" The lieutenant general on the side complained bitterly.

"Let's arrange more, this time our pair is the famous Lu Xuantong, there is nothing wrong with being careful!" Zhang Xun demanded.

"Whoa!" Although the adjutant general didn't think so, he nodded respectfully, he looked up at Zhang Xun, and saw that the opposite side seemed to be in a good mood, so he boldly asked: "General, I heard that Lu Xuantong took down all the counties around Hefei, and also recorded all the people's household registration and fields?" ”

"Are you complaining about me, why didn't I lead my troops to stop Lu Xuantong when he first entered Huainan?" Zhang Xun glanced at the deputy general and said lightly.

"The subordinates don't dare!" was poked by Zhang Xun, and the deputy general's face was in a cold sweat, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said.

"It's not that I don't stop it, but I think if we attack, I'm afraid we won't even be able to keep this Hefei City!" Zhang Xun sighed softly and said.

"It's not that exaggerated, although Lu Xuantong brought 100,000 soldiers and horses, but our defenders in Hefei City are more than 60,000, plus the militia of several surrounding cities and counties, it's still okay to get together 70,000 or 80,000, and Lu Xuantong came from afar, if we really want to fight, we won't necessarily lose to him!" The adjutant general was a little unconvinced. He always felt that Zhang Xun's courage was a little small, and he hadn't even seen the enemy's face, so he actually had a sense of timidity, if he was the main general, he would have gone out to fight Lu Xuantong a long time ago, where would he sit back and watch the other party occupy the city and county on the edge of Hefei in vain.

"You still have too little knowledge, you don't know how powerful the top people in the world are, there are so many people in Tianxià, how many people can spread their prestige in Tianxià? That Lu Xuantong was famous under the Tiger Prison, and five thousand soldiers dared to chase and kill Dong Zhuo, and later he was too punctual for Wuling, and annexed the entire Jingnan in less than two years, and then captured the entire Jiangdong within a year, our general Sun Lang's ability You know, but he was also a defeated general of others, such a character, not to mention that we originally had fewer soldiers and horses than the other party, that is, more than the other party, I will not venture to fight him! Zhang Xun said in a very straightforward tone, as if he didn't care at all that his words were a little long, and others were angry and destroyed his prestige.

"But it's not like that after all, we don't have too much military food, and this year Huainan has recruited insect pests, so it will take a few months with Lu Xuantong, and the grain and grass in our city will be eaten up!" The adjutant general blushed, and he didn't know how to refute it, so he could only say in a low voice.

"Let's hold on first, and at that time, Your Majesty may be able to draw reinforcements from the area of Guangling in Huaibei to support us!" Zhang Xun patted the deputy general's shoulder as he spoke: "Don't think I'm cowardly, we have to be cautious in everything, if Hefei is lost, then Lu Xuantong's soldiers will be directed at Shouchun, where His Majesty is located!" ”

"My subordinates know!" The adjutant nodded, not daring to say anything more.

"The walls of this Hefei city are tall, and the enemy army is strictly guarded, so it is not suitable to attack, do you have any countermeasures?" Lu An stayed in his tent of the Chinese army and asked Guo Jia and Jia Xu, who had just been called over on the side.

"I think it's the best strategy for us to besiege and not attack for the time being!" Jia Xu arched his hand.

"What do you mean by that?" Lu An asked.

"Yuan Shu himself has always been luxurious and lascivious, but for the soldiers under his command is very harsh, it is said that the soldiers under his command are often in a state of hunger and cold, and this year Huainan has attracted insect pests, I am afraid that the grain and grass in Hefei City is very limited, as long as we are surrounded by Huainan on all sides, it must not be long before the defenders in Hefei City will lose their square inches, plus Yuan Shu's usual people have accidents, its military heart may be in chaos, when we attack the city again, there must be a miraculous effect!" Jia Xu explained.

"Hmmm! It's really a good policy, what do you think? Lu An felt that it made sense, so he glanced at Guo Jia. He is actually a little biased in his heart, although he knows that the method Jia Xu said is very good, but he still habitually wants to ask Guo Jia again, and if Guo Jia offers advice, if he thinks there is no problem, he will directly nod and agree, obviously, he still relies on Guo Jia the most in terms of strategists, but this is not a problem, just a habit.

"Jia also thinks this plan is very good, it is the best way at the moment!" Guo Jia obviously recognized Jia Xu's method very much, and nodded.

"Then let's do this for the time being, tomorrow we will surround the city first and not attack!" Lu An nodded and decided to adopt Jia Xu's strategy.

"Subordinates retire!" Seeing that Lu An didn't seem to have anything else to do, Jia Xu and Guo Jia prepared to leave.

"Wen He, wait a minute!" Lu An stopped Jia Xu.

"Huh!" Jia Xu was a little surprised, subconsciously glanced at Guo Jia on the side, saw the other party smile at him and turned to leave the tent, only to know that Lu An was indeed only calling himself.

"What does the lord command?" Jia Xu raised his head and secretly glanced at Lu An, and saw that the other party's expression was very calm, and he couldn't see anything good or bad, so he lowered his head and said respectfully.

"Actually, there's something I want you to do, I have a drawing here, can you find some carpenters to make this thing?" Lu An smiled slightly, took a piece of something that he had constructed and painted a few days before he was on the table, and threw it to Jia Xu.

"Catapult?" Jia Xu's eyes swept over the drawings and muttered to himself with some confusion. In this era, catapults are not a rare thing, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, when Qin attacked Chu, Chu once used catapults to defeat the powerful Qin army, but despite this, but in fact, except for some specific occasions, catapults actually do not have much effect, first of all, its range is very short, only more than 100 steps (equivalent to 200 meters), and it is very cumbersome and inconvenient to move, plus it is very troublesome to throw bombs and reload, not only does it take a long time to shoot, but also requires a lot of manpower to operate, Generally speaking, this is rarely used in siege warfare, but occasionally you can think about the effect of ~road~guest www.siluke.info in field warfare.
