Chapter 257: Another Alliance
The three parties obviously understand that Yuan Shu is a dying tiger at this time, whoever bears his final blow will suffer huge losses, this is the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, Yuan Shu, as the second prince in the world, can he not have some inventory in his hands?
At present, Cao Cao occupies the west of Shouchun City, camps here, Liu Bei occupies the north of the city, and Lu Bu occupies the east of the city, which is an enlarged version of the siege of three missing one, with a total strength of more than 200,000 troops, which is twice as much as the soldiers defending the city, as long as the strength is not preserved and the strategy is appropriate, Shouchun City can be completely broken; However, from the tripartite talks, Cao Cao saw that it was impossible to do his best!
"Humph! You thief! Three surnames are slaves! If it weren't for Zhao Yun, Guan Yu dragged him under Liu Bei's instructions, maybe he would really dare to fight Lu Bu to the death!
"Blackface! Fuck your stinking fart! Don't think you're brilliant! Liu Xuande! Keep your dogs in check! Don't yell in front of me! Lu Bu didn't even look at Zhang Fei, and directly pointed at Liu Bei and scolded; Liu Bei can't swallow his anger at this time, no matter whether he regards Zhang Fei as a brother in his heart or not, he must be regarded as a brother at this time, otherwise what do you think of Guan Yu? What do you make Zhao Yun think? "Lu Bu! You've swallowed my territory! Insult me repeatedly! I can bear all this! But you insult my brother! That's not going to work! Don't think I dare kill you! ”
Lu Bu was furious: "Are you coming? I really don't know how thick the sky is! The big-eared thief who weaves mats and sells shoes! ”
Xu Chu and Dian Wei hurriedly protected Cao Cao on both sides, fearing that the two sides would spread to Cao Cao, Cao Cao stood up and said angrily: "When is this?" Still noisy? If you don't accept it, you will have a decisive battle with the army and horses! Let's see if Ji Ling of Shouchun will catch you all! ”
"I'll just say that this alliance is unreliable! At the beginning, the Dong coalition army, the later Yuan Shu coalition army, the Xuzhou coalition army, and the Qinwang coalition army did not win a battle, but died halfway, you attack me! If this is still the case, then everyone will disperse and rely on their own abilities! But I still have to say a few words!
Liu Bei! You claim to be a member of the Han family, after King Jing of Zhongshan! But have you ever thought about it, Yuan Shu is the emperor at this time, where is it in the Han Dynasty? If you can't kill the puppet emperor Yuan Shu as soon as possible, there will be a second, third, and fourth Yuan Shu! At that time, I don't know how many people are called kings, how many people are called emperors, and the relatives of the Han emperor? Reviving the Han Dynasty? Dream on, right?
Lu Bu! Don't you understand the most superficial truth? Do you think you have less notoriety on you? If you can't do your best to sweep away Yuan Shu this time, indicating that you are not in the same group as him, then the world will think that you are Yuan Shu's accomplice! It is the reliance that he dares to call the emperor! Crime boss!
At that time, everyone in the world will be criticizing you and you will be a rat crossing the street - everyone shouts and beats! See what you do then? Didn't Chen Gongtai tell you this when you came? Brave and unscrupulous, reckless! It can't be the climate! ”
Cao Cao's words made Lu Bu and Liu Bei look at each other angrily, but they also had to admit that what Cao Cao said was right, sat down with anger, and stopped arguing;
"That's right! Since we all have a common goal, let's unify the way and seek results together! Afterwards! Talking about something else! Cao Cao smiled, stretched out his hand, and slapped it twice, and the sergeant outside came out with a map and spread it out on the ground of the temporary meeting camp; Everyone was together, watching carefully, Liu Bei hugged his fists and said, "Brother Meng De! You are a master of the art of war, tell me your opinion! Everyone has seen this when the princes were discussing Dong! ”
Liu Bei is really a stoic, thick-faced and black-hearted person, and he scolded Cao Cao for being a white-faced thief, and the things after the traitorous eunuch have long been forgotten, but fortunately, Cao Cao is the same, and immediately replied: "What kind of art of war am I, I praise it!" However, I have a suggestion that you can discuss! ”
"Shouchun City, the city is three zhang high, five zhang thick, it is a top-level fortified city, there are more moats on the periphery, protecting the whole city, there are twelve arrow buttresses at the four corners of the city and the city gate, there are 40,000 soldiers in the city, and more than 60,000 or 70,000 reserves, in general, Ji Ling is quite well arranged!
There is early warning, there is air supremacy, and if there are more soldiers in the city, it will be crowded, and if there is less than one, there will be a gap! But! No matter how strong the city wall is, there will always be a moment when it collapses, and no matter how strong the city defense is, there are also loopholes! Brother Xuande! Compared to Ji Ling, who defends the city, do you know what kind of loopholes are the most terrifying? ”
Liu Bei frowned and spit out two words: "Internal!" ”
"Not bad! The princes of the Quartet gathered to beg for it, Yuan Shu was already a dry bone in the grave, only a few people were willing to die for him, and most of them still had to live! Also, most of the soldiers and horses under Yuan Shu were pieced together by scholars from Yuzhou, Yangzhou and other places, which also brought hidden dangers!
At this time, I have already sent someone into the city to contact those who don't want to accompany Yuan Shu to the end! At that time, even if Ji Ling has the talent of heaven, he will not be able to return to the sky! Cao Cao stroked his palms and smiled; This plan is not insidious, those who don't want to follow Yuan Shu's broken ship sailing, as long as they are bewitched by Cao Cao, coupled with the pressure of the army, they will inevitably seek a way back for themselves, recall the children of the family among the soldiers defending the city, create chaos, instigate mutiny, and open the city gate As long as they move to one or two of them, then Shouchun City will inevitably be breached!
Lu Bu pursed his mouth, a little disdainful, what he hated most was these twists and turns, no wonder he was invincible on the endless frontier battlefield, and in the Central Plains battle, he always won less and lost more? One is to seek a decisive battle in a dignified manner, and the other is to coexist bravely, not the same day!
Although it looks like this, but Lu Bu knows that Cao Cao is right, only in this way can he get the maximum benefit with the least effort, thinking of this, Lu Bu is a little concerned, every time he loses a battle, every time he suffers a loss, he is thinking about what he should do in the future; In the long run, the god of war who was sharp and hot-blooded in the past has also begun to become very calm, and anger and irritability only appear under certain circumstances; "I agreed with them to raise three torches at the head of the Sifang City as a signal, but Ji Ling's control in the city is also very tight, we have to wait patiently for their signal to appear!" , Cao Cao said, this is also a summary of today's alliance; The opening atmosphere was hot, the end was not bad, everyone dispersed, stabilized their camps, observed the changes in the city every day, besieged but not attacked, and waited silently
Just besiege but not attack, but the pressure on the Shouchun defenders is also very great, the siege is actually attacking the opponent's psychological defense line, and it is the same relative to the siege soldiers, that is, to see who can't bear the pressure and collapses first; Ji Ling saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, he had to make changes to stabilize the army's heart, and the best way to stabilize the army's heart was to win the battle!
