Yang Xiu and Zhou Yu were all taken aback, looked at each other, and no one dared to believe it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although Pingyu City is not a big city, the city walls of nearly three zhang, plus the nearly 30,000 defenders inside, are definitely not a city that can be captured in a month. Even if Liu Xiu is willing to spend his blood and use the tactics of the sea of people to consume the strength of the other party, he can't attack it in a month, not to mention that this is not realistic at all.

"Is the hussar general going to use this excuse to recruit troops?" Yang Xiu said suddenly.

The Son of Heaven was taken aback, and his face immediately changed greatly. If Liu Xiu wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to recruit troops on a large scale, it would indeed be a little troublesome, wouldn't this mean that he would be given a legitimate opportunity to expand his strength?

"Impossible." Zhou Yu disagreed with Yang Xiu's opinion: "Even if the edict of conscription is issued now, it will take more than half a month to collect it, and if you want to transfer grain from Jingzhou and Yizhou, it will not be solved in a month." Besides, the hussar general has always disliked temporary conscription, and if he needed to, he should have been prepared for it a long time ago. ”

"Then will he have already collected the army and just wait for this opportunity to ......" Yang Xiu's face turned pale, the situation he thought of was too terrifying, so he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Cao Ang frowned and thought for a while: "Probably not." Jingzhou is the most suitable for conscription, but Jingzhou has just implemented the new policy this year, and many landless peasant households have been newly allocated land, and they are cultivating the land. Besides. Jingzhou is so close that we can't afford not to hear any news. ”

"Maybe it's conscription from the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River? Maybe it was conscription from Yangzhou? The more Yang Xiu thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his voice became a little sharp: "The Danyang soldiers are known as the elite of the world, the people are fierce, and they are not happy to farm, as long as they have money, it is very easy to recruit 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers." Is the hussar general short of money? ”

This sentence is said. Everyone was silent. Xiao Tianzi's hand shook, and the teacup he had just picked up was scattered, with a look of horror in his eyes. He also thought of the possibility that Yang Xiu said. He regretted it so much, in order to gamble with Liu Xiu, he fell for Liu Xiu again. I handed over this weapon alive. When Liu Xiu's soldiers arrived, what else did he take to deal with Liu Xiu. Alas, this old man is still as cunning and wise as before, and I am really no match for him. Xiao Tianzi immediately secretly rejoiced again, fortunately, I am his son, even if I think it is not good, he should not take my life. It's just this throne...... Alas, there must be no hope.

……

No matter what these little people are guessing. Liu Xiu began to take over the command in an all-round way, and the Taiwei Duan Cheng happily handed over the military power, and Xia Yu, Tian Yan and others had no opinions, but they were a little ashamed when they saw Liu Xiu. From the Battle of Ningcheng, fourteen years. Liu Xiu has completed the leap from an ordinary commoner to a hussar general, and now that he is about to become a general of the world, maybe he will go further, and they are still captains. No matter how much else is to blame, who has let them not have the exploits they have been able to do for so many years. It's not that they are incompetent, it's that the strength of the imperial court is weak. And the opponent is too strong.

This is called bad luck. If they had been under Liu Xiu, with their qualifications, they would have become generals long ago.

Liu Xiu asked Duan Cheng and Lu Zhi to return to Luoyang together, and asked them to sit in Gyeonggi and no longer have to follow the army. The autumn harvest is imminent, and there are a lot of things in Situ Mansion, and Lu Zhi has not been in Luoyang for a long time, so it is not a matter after all. Lu Zhi was so frustrated that he didn't say anything, packed his bags and left. Lu Min couldn't bear to look at it, and interceded with Liu Xiu, wanting to go back with his father. Lu Zhi refused, and he said to Lu Min, I am old, I am not as strain as you young people, I am called a great Confucian in vain, and I have not taught a truly learned disciple, but I have taught three rebellious people. This is my failure and has nothing to do with you. I went back to Luoyang to do my job and try to keep the impact to a minimum. You stay here, Liu Xiu respects you very much, maybe you can influence him more, things have come to this point, we can only do our best and obey the destiny of heaven. In the end, if I really can't save the Han River, I can only repay Your Majesty with death for your kindness, and the future of the Lu family will be pinned on you.

Lu Min was very sad, he knew that his father had always been strong, and now that he said this, he must have been very disappointed in his heart.

After taking over the military power of the forbidden army, Liu Xiu immediately ordered the Wei general Cao Cao to march to Pingyu and complete the siege of Pingyu. Three days later, more than 100,000 troops gathered under the Pingyu City, surrounded the Pingyu City to the water, the two banks of the hidden water were full of large camps, and the head could not be seen at a glance, the flag covered the sun, and it took half a day to pass an order.

The increase in quantity has led to a change in quality, not to mention the war, just managing these more than 100,000 people is an unimaginable project. The military conspiracy group set up by Liu Xiu showed excellent work ability, they collected all kinds of information, compiled it into a book, and sent it to Liu Xiu every day, and at the same time sent thousands of scouts to continue to send news from all directions to the camp, Liu Xiu's Chinese army camp is like a brain, receiving news from all directions all the time.

The Son of Heaven also failed to live in peace, he was by Liu Xiu's side, he couldn't leave an inch, and the official documents that Liu Xiu had read would let him look at it, and listen to his opinions, and Liu Xiu would give additions and corrections. Although he was accompanied by Zhou Yu, Yang Xiu and others, the heavy workload of this work was by no means something ordinary people could imagine, and the myriad of information made Xiao Tianzi's nerves tense and could be broken at any time.

The Son of Heaven didn't dare to complain, he gritted his teeth and insisted. When he was thirsty, he drank saliva next to the official document, and when he was tired, he lay on the desk for a while, and Liu Xiu didn't stop him, but whenever new information arrived, he would wake him up mercilessly. He seemed to hold an invisible whip in his hand, forcing Xiao Tianzi to be like a grinding donkey, turning endlessly.

After more than ten days of preparation, all the matters of the siege were finally completed, and the siege of the city was to begin the next day. Liu Xiu left Cao Cao behind.

"Your Majesty, I have some things that have nothing to do with military affairs, I want to discuss it with General Wei, if Your Majesty is interested, please listen to it together, if you are not interested, you might as well go back and rest first. These days. Your Majesty is working very hard, sleep well, and tomorrow will have the spirit to inspire the soldiers. ”

The Son of Heaven is indeed exhausted. He shook his head with a forced smile: "Sir, tell General Wei, I really want to go back to rest and rest." ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand and motioned for someone to send Xiao Tianzi out.

Cao Cao watched Xiao Tianzi come out of the account. It took a long time to come back to his senses, and he laughed: "You gentleman is majestic, even the Son of Heaven can be obedient." ”

"Wouldn't it be more straightforward for you to say that I am domineering?" Liu Xiu grinned, asked people to bring wine and food, poured a glass of wine and handed it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao took the cup in his hand, took a sip, and blinked: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, although Your Majesty is young, you can hold grudges." This is a bit like you. He said. He pretended to glance at Liu Xiu unintentionally.

Liu Xiu's face was calm, and the wine glass in his hand was held steadily, without even a trace of trembling. He raised his eyelids and laughed: "Don't you also hold grudges?" ”

Cao Cao laughed awkwardly, a little bored. He wanted to test Liu Xiu. Unexpectedly, he was laughed at by Liu Xiu. He put down his glass, reached out and picked up a piece of meat on the table, threw it in his mouth, and chewed slowly. "We're going to attack the city tomorrow, and we're going to storm it like this?"

"What's your solution?"

Cao Cao frowned: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, a strong attack is not a good idea, even if your subordinates are amazingly powerful." If you want to take this city, you can't do it without 350,000 casualties. ”

"How can you fight without dying?" Liu Xiu said lightly: "You only talk about my subordinates, but you don't talk about yourself, do you want to be passive and slack off and watch me fight to the death?" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "How is it possible, it's just that although my troops are slightly more than yours, my equipment and combat power are not as good as yours, of course, I have to take you as the main force, and I will assist from the side." ”

"Cao Mengde is a traitorous male, Xu Zijiang is not wrong."

"Don't talk nonsense, he only said that I am a traitor in troubled times and a hero who rules the world. Now it's time to rule the world, I'm a hero, not a traitor. ”

Liu Xiu sneered: "Ruling the world? Just like that? ”

"Of course, it's the ruling world." Cao Cao stared at Liu Xiu's face: "If a person is sick, he has to cut off the rotten meat, and then the illness can be cured." Don't think I don't know, the Yuan family is a piece of rotten meat in your eyes. ”

"You think so highly of me?" "I've always looked up to you." Cao Cao coughed: "Although you may not take it seriously, but I gambled my life and bet all my treasures on you." ”

"I can't afford that." Liu Xiu said lightly: "Speaking of this, I want to ask you, what do you think?" This is not a joke, if you don't get it right, your 400-year-old family will be over. ”

"Poof!" Cao Cao choked with laughter all of a sudden, the wine was spilled everywhere, he wiped it with his sleeve, pointed at Liu Xiu and said: "You are not kind, in front of your clan, my Cao family is a wealthy family?" ”

"You can't say that." Liu Xiu couldn't see a trace of laughter lines on his face, so serious that Cao Cao felt that he was not funny laughing. "I heard that there is a record in the palace Taishi Department, saying that Emperor Huan had stars between Chu and Song, and there should be a real person from Liang Pei, some people say, this should be in your 400-year-old wealthy Cao family?"

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, Huo Di jumped up, and scolded: "Who is the old mother's nonsense and slandering my Cao family?" ”

Liu Xiu frowned, wiped his face with his sleeve, and said very unhappily: "What are you doing in such a hurry, could it be that there is a ghost in your heart?" ”

Cao Cao hurriedly laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Alas, what do you say, what the hell can I have in my heart? I just think that the person who said this is too lacking in morality, isn't this pushing my Cao family into the fire pit. What do you say I have? In the past, the Yuan family was here, I was the younger brother, and now that you are a hussar general in the sky, I am still mixed with you......" Cao Cao saw that Liu Xiu's face was not good-looking, and he hurriedly slapped his mouth: "No, we are all loyal to Your Majesty, and we will never have two hearts." Tell me, is the person who said this a bad heart? Over the years, who is fighting for the east of the Han River, I haven't even returned home, and even my children have complained about me. ”

Liu Xiu nodded: "Indeed, those who are so idle that they know all day long that they are talking about it are damned!" ”

"That's it, those people slander us for being disobedient, it's really unreasonable......
