Chapter 10 The Helpless Defending Expert

"Xeno, why do you say Liu Bei and Liu Biao are suddenly attacking now?" In Jiangling City, Cai Mao asked Kuai Yue a little angrily. Liu Biao ran away in the first month, but it took half a year to send troops to attack them, which was really incomprehensible to Cai Mao.

"He's waiting, waiting for us to run out of food! I am also waiting for the prime minister's army to leave Runan and make way for them! Kuai Yue was also a little helpless. This is not a conspiracy at all, on the contrary, this is a naked conspiracy, and it is clear that it is to bully you for not having enough food and grass.

"So what should we do?" Cai Mao said a little helplessly. "Don't panic, Jiangling is the capital of Jingxiang, and the food hoarded here is enough for the defenders." Kuai Yue also tried to comfort as much as possible. He also withheld half of the sentence and didn't say: The army is enough, but the people may not be. If it is a normal time, it can naturally help the people. But now that the war is raging, we can only ignore it. For this reason, it is inevitable that the people of Jingbei will be uneasy.

"Anyway, now it's hard to ride a tiger, so I can only fight to the death!" Cai Mao also has no other way. Kuai Yue looked at Cai Mao, who was not too high-spirited in front of him, and his heart was also rare and bottomless. He and Cai Mao took some risks, although they once controlled Liu Biao, but now it seems that with their own strength, it is really difficult to succeed. Coupled with this year's severe drought, the situation has been made even worse.

"Xeno, is Huo Jun reliable?" Cai Mao suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked. Kuai Yue Yin Yin smiled and said: "Don't worry about this De Jue, he is absolutely reliable." ”

"Huh?" Cai Mao knew that Kuai Yue had something to say, and hurriedly signaled him to explain. Kuai Yue and him didn't sell it, and said directly: "Huo Jun's parents died early since he was a child, and his brother Huo Du raised Chengren. Now Huo Du is dead, leaving behind his widow and child, all of whom are detained by me in Gangneung. If Huo Jun can't keep Yidu, his sister-in-law and nephew will go to see his eldest brother, haha! ”

"I see, Xenodegree is really thoughtful and resourceful!" Cai Mao also laughed and laughed, then remembered something, and hurriedly said to Kuai Yue: "Different degrees, there is not enough grain and grass in Xiangyang right now, and reliable people need to be sent to transfer grain and grass from Jiangling to Xiangyang!" ”

"I've already made arrangements for this. There is one person under my command, surnamed Zhao Minglei. This man is cautious, loyal and reliable, so he will escort the grain and grass! Kuai Yue said calmly. Cai Mao saw that he was so confident and properly transferred, and he was immediately relieved.

At this time, 30,000 Yangzhou troops went out of the Lujiang River, marched west along the Yangtze River by boat, crossed Jiangxia until Hanyang disembarked, and then Zhao Feng led an army of 25,000 to take Yiling Road, Zhang Liao led an army of 5,000 to take Huarong Road as a partial division, and the two roads converged in Jiangling.

"Wenyuan, you only have this city in Huarong County on the way, and I hope to break it as soon as possible and rush to Jiangling!" Zhao Feng also deliberately told before parting.

"General rest assured, Huarong County, there are more than 20 trebuchets from me." Zhang Liao also patted his chest and hit the package ticket. Zhao Feng knew Zhang Liao's ability, and he was not surprised at the moment, so he said goodbye to Zhang Liao at the moment, and led his army of 25,000 to go straight to Jiangling on Yiling Avenue.

The road that Zhao Feng took was the road that Cao Ying refused to take in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". In fact, this Yiling Avenue is naturally much wider and easier to walk than Huarong Trail, but it is a little far away. Along the way, before arriving at Gangneung, you need to pass through Hanyang, Bianxian, Yicheng, Genshan, and Gong'an County. Originally, Kuai Yue also arranged troops to garrison these five counties, but since the Cao army in Runan withdrew, Kuai Yue had to transfer more troops to the Yiyang line to block Guan Yu, and the troops here were not enough.

"Zhongye, you have been in Jingxiang for a long time, do you know the situation in these five counties?" This time to march into Jingxiang, Liu Bei specially sent a military general from Jingxiang to accompany the army. At present, Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao are walking on Huarong Road, Wen Ping is accompanying Zhao Feng on Yiling Avenue, and Guan Yu is on Zhuge Liang's side to participate in politics with the army. Zhao Feng knew that Wen Ping had been in Jingxiang for a long time, so he specially asked him about the details of the guards in these places.

"General, the guards of Hanyang and Genshan are my old troops, and I should be able to persuade them to surrender. Deng Zhi, the county magistrate of the county, is a native of Yiyang, and this person is familiar with me, and I can persuade him to surrender; The guard general of Yicheng County is Cai Mao's henchman Song Zhong, who will never surrender; As for Wang Fu, the public security guard, I don't know very well. If we talk about the city, the city of the county and Yicheng is average, not precipitous, our trebuchet can come in handy, and the public security is slightly more precipitous. Wen Ping replied.

"I see!" Zhao Feng heard Wen Ping's introduction, and he basically had a bottom in his heart. Genshan and Hanyang are not worried, Deng Zhi of the county will surrender, and Wang Fu of the public security is not estimated to be of the same mind as Cai Mao. If you're lucky, I'm afraid the one you really want to fight is Yicheng County.

"Speaking of which, Huo Jun, the commander of Yidu County, has never heard of it, I don't know what this person is capable of, Kuai Yue actually sent him to guard Yidu." Wen Ping said to himself. "Kuai Yue is not a fool, presumably this Huo Jun has his superiority!" Zhao Feng was half speculating and half telling the truth. In fact, after learning that the Yidu guard was Huo Jun, Zhao Feng immediately understood that Liu Pan's words were not good.

Throughout the Three Kingdoms, even from the time the princes discussed Dong Zhuo to the final return of the Three Kingdoms to Jin, the war lasted for more than 70 years, and there were many famous generals. But Zhao Feng believes that there are only a few people who can be regarded as experts in defending the city.

Zhang Liao, stationed in Hefei with 7,000 men for many years, repelled the invasion of Eastern Wu many times, and completely blocked Sun Quan's road to the north. From a certain point of view, Lu Meng was forced to cross the river in white clothes later. Although Soochow's land combat ability can't be supported by mud, Zhang Liao can be regarded as a talent if he can use Sun Quan as a mobile leveling bag.

Hao Zhao, with 3,000 men stationed in Chencang, let Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition return in vain. The embodiment of eternal wisdom, in the face of Chen Cangcheng, which he guarded, there was no way at all.

Wei Yan, overshadowing Zhang Fei, was appointed by Liu Bei as the Taishou of Hanzhong, and Cao Wei repeatedly invaded Hanzhong for many years but returned in vain. If you come less, you will be destroyed, and if you come more, you will be beaten back, and he will guard Hanzhong, which is really solid.

Compared with the above, Huo Jun is slightly inferior in fame, but this is mainly because he died prematurely. Even so, Huo Jun has also had a glorious record. During Liu Bei's attack on Chengdu, Huo Jun led less than 2,000 troops to garrison Jiameng Pass for three years. During this period, Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu both sent troops to attack, but they all returned in vain. The most exaggerated time, Zhang Lu sent the general to support and Xiang Cun to lead an army of 20,000 to attack Jiameng Pass, which was not defeated for half a year. In the end, on a dark and windy night, Huo Jun frantically led eight hundred warriors to raid the camp of Fujian.

In the end, more than half of the 20,000 troops were killed and killed, and Xiang Cun only led hundreds of people to flee back to Hanzhong.

Now that this old man is stationed in Yidu County, Zhao Feng knows that Liu Pan is afraid that it will be difficult to escape from any cheapness. However, Zhao Feng still had a trace of doubt in his heart at this time: Huo Jun was a loyal person to Liu Bei in history, how could he mix with Cai Mao now?

Zhao Feng was still puzzled, but at this time, Liu Pan, who was in Yidu, was already a little crazy. The Yidu City guarded by Huo Jun is simply like an iron-clad turtle, and it can't be beaten no matter how it is beaten.

Set up a ladder to attack the city, the city will give you a random arrow to shoot down, and then dozens of sturdy soldiers use steel forks to push the ladder together, each ladder is pushed down, and dozens of lives are taken.

Pressed at a distance with a well lanthanum? Someone threw a canister of oil at you, and then lit it and watched you burn to death.

Breaking the wall with a punching car? The defenders smashed down with large stones, and the straight car was also smashed. After nearly half a month of fighting, Liu Pan lost thousands of people, but Yidu City still stood majestically. One night, Liu Pan wanted to take advantage of the night to sneak attack, and organized a commando team of hundreds of people to kill the city. When I climbed up to the top of the city, I found that all the stairs had been torn down. Before the assault team could deal with it, the defenders who had been prepared for a long time shot arrows indiscriminately, killing and wounding more than half of them, and the rest were forced to run back to the city down the ladder.

"Your grandmother is Huo Jun, I really can't eat you if I don't believe it?" Liu Pan was so angry that he couldn't wait to fly up to the city with wings on his shoulders and grab Huo Jun with a thousand knives. Once this kind of siege war is delayed for too long, it will have a great impact on the morale of the siege troops. Now Liu Biaoxiong is high-spirited and wants to quell the rebellion, if he can't take it by himself, it will be really a flash in the pan. After another day of fierce fighting, Liu Pan was forced to stop and fight again.

"Whew!" Huo Jun at the head of the city was also slightly relieved when he saw Liu Pan collect his troops. At this time, his lieutenant stepped forward and handed him a bowl of water, and Huo Jun took a sip and poured it clean.

"Old man, the grain and grass have been escorted back?" Seeing that one of the lieutenants under his command had returned, Huo Jun knew that he had sent him to urge grain and grass yesterday, and hurriedly asked.

"It's back." Fu Duwei had something to say in his words. When Huo Jun heard this, he hurriedly asked for details, and Fu Duwei sighed and said, "I went to urge for grain and grass, but General Cai He, who was in charge of grain and grass, was only willing to give half of it." I said that the defenders were working hard to defend the city, and it was difficult to maintain it without food and grass, but he actually asked us to drink porridge if we didn't have enough food and grass! The more Fu Duwei spoke, the more angry he became, and finally his voice became a little louder.

"How can it be!" Huo Jun's lieutenant general was also seriously unhappy when he heard this, Huo Jun sighed and said, "How can you fight without food and grass?" "This year's drought in Jingbei has been rumored among the people of Jingbei, saying that Kuai Yue and Cai Mao conspired to rebel and provoke the wrath of the heavens, which caused the crops in Jingbei to fail. Although this rumor is absurd, many people believe it. Even in this half year, tens of thousands of people moved from Jingbei to Jingnan or Yangzhou.

"It's not that there is no grain and grass, I later met Captain Zhao who escorted grain and grass for Xiangyang, and he told me that there has never been a shortage of grain and grass in Xiangyang Cai Mao. Cai and this guy only gave his eldest brother enough military rations, and took all the military rations that were deducted from us and secretly sold them to Yanzhou! Fu Duwei said indignantly.

"Is there such a thing?" This time, Huo Jun was also shocked. His lieutenant general lowered his head when he heard this, and then raised his head and said angrily: "General, this Cai family brother doesn't treat us as human beings, let us defend the city but withhold grain and grass, why should we work for these thieves?" It's better to go to the lord and kill these traitors! ”

"Vice General Liu, do you think I want to work for Kuai Yue, a hypocrite? But our family is still in the hands of Gangneung Kuaiyue! Huo Jun said dejectedly, and Vice General Liu was also stunned when he heard this. Fu Duwei's eyes rolled, as if he remembered something.

Huo Jun is helpless, but now there is someone more helpless than him, and that is Guan Yu. Sitting in the empty Chen Jun Taishou Mansion, Guan Yu was sulking there alone, and everyone under his command knew that he was in an extremely bad mood now, and they didn't dare to touch his moldy head at this time.

"Why bother?" With this voice, a figure shaking a feather fan slowly walked into the hall. Guan Yu looked up and saw this person, and his brows, which had been frowning deeply, also stretched slightly: "Kong Ming, you are here, what are your best strategies to deal with the current situation?" ”
