Chapter 91: Soldiers Descend on the City
The plan was decided, and the war machine in Lujiang County quickly kicked off.
The 100,000 displaced people who originally lived outside the city were admitted to the city, and the organized people no longer went to the construction site to build fields and water conservancy, but stepped up the repair of the city defenses.
It's just that since the day before yesterday, this day was like someone had been stabbed and rained like a torrential rain.
Because of the continuous heavy rain, it has seriously affected the progress of strengthening the city defense of Juchao.
Many officials suggested that Yuan Nuo give up Juchao and retreat to Anhui City, even Ji Ling and other civil and military officials of the former Zhongjia Dynasty also thought about it, but Yuan Nuo rejected them all, the reason was also very high-sounding, he would never give up the 100,000 Huainan refugees who had settled down in Juchao with great difficulty, and for the sake of 100,000 people, he did not hesitate to burn Sun Ce's jade!
Yuan said so, and those civil and military officials had nothing to say.
Yuan's words, under the spread of people with intentions, quickly spread in the city.
When the people in the city heard this, they were greatly moved, and they all admired the benevolence and righteousness of the son.
Since it was decided to invite the hearts of the people through this battle, and to win the hearts of the world's scholars, Yuan Wei simply acted in a full set, and when the arrow wound had not completely healed, he insisted on going to the construction site to repair the city defense with the people.
Yuan Wei's personal efforts greatly boosted the morale of the military and civilians, and despite the torrential rain, the city defense site was in full swing.
"Hey, roar."
"Hey, huh."
"Hey, roar."
In the sound of the trumpet wave after wave, Yuan Nuo bare-chested and exposed, with more than 20 people, carrying a stone weighing more than 2,000 catties, and moved to the city step by step, like rain, washing Yuan No's thin body, and the gauze wrapped around his right shoulder could not help oozing blood, but it was washed away by the rain.
Walking along the horse road step by step to the city, the officials and soldiers encountered along the way stopped and bowed to Yuan No, Yuan can feel that these officials and soldiers respect him from the heart, his sufferings are not in vain after all, and his great image of benevolence and love for the people is being formed bit by bit.
That's right, it is benevolence, righteousness and love for the people, this is the strategy designed by Liu Ye for Yuan Wei.
Since the left and right have to go to Jizhou, since the left and right have to give up the Lujiang River to Sun Ce, since the left and right have to leave those officials and scholars who are unwilling to follow him in Lujiang, then through the Lujiang River to maximize the benefits, then through the battle of Lujiang, through the hundreds of thousands of people in Lujiang and the heroes of the scholars, let his reputation of Yuan Yuan's benevolence and love for the people spread all over the world!
Finally carried the boulder up to the city, Yuan Wei was so tired that he almost collapsed, and he sat down at the head of the city with his buttocks.
Ji Ling hurriedly rushed forward, picked up Yuan Fu, and persuaded: "Son, you are tired, go back quickly, just leave it to the ministers here, the old minister promises that the city defense will be repaired before the arrival of the Jiangdong army." ”
"Yes, Childe, you're already very tired, you can go back and rest, just leave it to the ministers here."
"Childe, you are the pillar of our Lujiang River, don't get caught in the rain anymore, if you get sick, who will we rely on."
"Childe, the villain begs you, you are a golden body, go back quickly, just leave these rough jobs to us."
Seeing Yuan Quan fall to the ground, the nearby officials and people came forward to persuade one after another, and a few elderly people shed tears emotionally as they spoke, Yuan Quan can understand their feelings, they have lived for so long, I am afraid that they have never seen a county guard who can share weal and woe with them, right?

Not far away, Liu Kai and Liu Wei's uncle and nephew were wearing robes and moving wood.
After Liu Xun let Xian, Yuan Wei still ordered him to garrison Anhui City, but Liu Kai and Liu Wei were transferred to the nest.
This is also the proper meaning of the question, whether Yuan can allow Liu Xun to stay in Anhui City, but Liu Xun's forces must be dispersed.
Although they were unwilling, Liu Kai and Liu Wei's uncle and nephew could only go into battle shirtless, there was no way, even Yuan Wei personally went to the city to participate in the repair of the city defense, who else dared to sit at home?
Seeing this scene, Liu Kai whispered to Liu Wei: "Brother will lose to Gongzi, it seems that he is not wronged." ”
Liu Wei snorted lightly from his nostrils, and said hatefully: "Fake benevolence and false righteousness, this is just a trick by Yuan Wei Xiao'er to buy people's hearts." ”
Liu Kai shook his head and sighed: "Childe may be a hypocrisy, this may just be a trick he used to buy people's hearts, but it is undeniable that he succeeded, didn't he?" The officials and gentry of Lujiang County, the hearts of the people have been owned by the son, and we can give up our unrealistic thoughts. ”
Liu Wei was silent.

Yuan Wei rested for a while, felt that his strength had recovered, and ignored Ji Ling's repeated persuasions, and insisted on standing up.
However, in the next moment, Yuan Wei seemed to feel something, and suddenly turned his head to look outside the city, but only to see that in the vast rain curtain, a horse appeared like a ghost on the gentle slope outside the East Gate of Juchao.
Yuan No's strange expression immediately alarmed Ji Ling and the others next to him.
Ji Ling and the others turned their heads one after another, and they also saw the ride.
"It's ...... Jiangdong Army? Zhang Niucal scratched his head and said, "Just come and ride?" ”
"Nope." Yuan Wei shook his head, wiped the rain on his face, and said faintly, "It's all here." ”
Before Yuan Wei's words fell, a continuous horn sounded behind the mountain beam: woo woo woo......
Then, rows of long ge, spears, and halberds gradually rose, gradually converging into a forest of spears.
Immediately after the Maoge Forest, the black-pressed Jiangdong soldiers came out from behind the mountain beams, lined up in a neat queue, slowly descended along the hillside, and slowly crushed towards the Chaocheng City.

At this moment, Sun Ce's carriage was parked on the mountain beam.
However, Sun Ce had already come out of the carriage and stood on the wheel.
The cold rain trickled down the gilded helmet, confusing Sun Ce's vision, Sun Ce wiped the rain on his face, turned his head to Zhou Yu next to him and said, "Gongjin, do you see?" ”
"See." Zhou Yu nodded, and said solemnly, "Yuan Wei really should not be underestimated, the small city of Juchao was originally dilapidated, and the wall height was only more than two zhang, but now, it has made Yuan Wei Xiao'er repair into a strong city, not only the height of the city wall is more than three zhang, but the moat has been dug outside the city, which is amazing, powerful." ”
Sun Ce added: "Fortunately, we didn't delay because of the hurricane, otherwise, when the hurricane passes, the city defense of Juchao will become stronger, and the price our army will have to pay will be even greater." ”
Zhou Yu said: "Bo Fu, what I am more worried about is not the city defense of the nest. ”
Sun Ce was surprised, and asked rhetorically: "Gong Jin is not worried about the city defense, so what are you worried about?" ”
Zhou Yu squinted his eyes, looked at the nest of the city through the white rain curtain, and said quietly: "The fact that the nest town can become so strong in just ten days shows that Yuan Wei Xiaoer is deeply loved by the people of the nest, this is because if there is no spontaneous and conscious participation of the people of the nest, it is absolutely impossible to have such high efficiency by relying on the drive of officers and soldiers alone. ”
Sun Ce said: "So what? ”
Zhou Yu said faintly: "Yuan Wei Xiao'er is so popular, Bo Fu, haven't you thought that the 100,000 homeless people who gathered to live in the nest are very likely to become 100,000 troops!" Even though most of them are old and young, women and children, and at most there are only 20,000 strong men, and that is also 20,000 soldiers who regard death as their home and share the same hatred for the enemy. ”
Sun Ce said: "What about 20,000? It's just some people's strength, in the past, outside Shouchun City, a certain person used only a thousand iron horsemen to crush Zhang Xun's 100,000 army, and why not be afraid of Yuan Wei's children's 20,000 people. ”
Zhou Yu said: "It was a field battle, but this time it was a siege battle. ”
Sun Ce's brows became more and more frowned, and he said unhappily: "Gongjin, you shouldn't be beating the drum, right?" ”
"No, this battle is already on the line, how can so-and-so beat the drum?" Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "I just want to remind Bo Fu that the difficulty of this battle is likely to exceed your imagination, and it is even possible that you can't attack it for a long time, so Bo Fu must be mentally prepared." ”
"Rest assured, I have been mentally prepared." Sun Ce nodded, and said thoughtfully, "The battle of the nest must be an unprecedented vicious battle. ”
"That's fine." Zhou Yu put his mind at ease and said, "Then now, let's give Yuan Wei a little bit of a horse first." ”
"Dismount?" Sun Ce said, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Bo Fu can order Lu Mian to persuade him to surrender." ”
