Chapter 186: Able to pinch and calculate

That person's name was Sima Hui.

His original name was Fu, and later because a friend was humiliated, angry and killed, since then changed his name to Shu, that friend is the same as himself, born in the same Shu clan, with great ambitions, but can not enter the academy to study, there is no master to teach, Xu Shu and the same illness and sympathy, will be from the academy and Sima Hui learned to teach him.

The reason why his friend was insulted was simply because he was a Shu clan, and he wrote an article that Xu Shu seemed to be excellent, and he was humiliated by a jealous son of the clan when he was seen by all the scholars.

Xu Shu changed his name to Shu after killing people, which can be regarded as a kind of self-deprecation of identity.

Sima Hui not only subsidized his education, rescued his mother, but also took him in after he killed himself, if there was no Sima Hui, he didn't know how unbearable his life would be, and now he let himself serve Liu Biao, what can he say? If you die, it will be considered a reward for your benefactor.

The night breeze is strong and slow, blowing endlessly.

"What was the result of your visit to Liu Zhang today?" Xu Shu let out a long breath and pulled himself back from his thoughts, his expression calm as usual.

Li Yan pondered for a while and said: "Liu Zhang's house is too hateful, he accepted gifts but refused to agree to our conditions, and only agreed to delay the attack for five days, which was obviously for the purpose of rectifying the army. ”

Xu Shu nodded and sighed: "Liu Zhang's rise is too fast, his human nature is difficult to be grasped, Liu Zhang's performance in the past six months is like two people in previous years, I still haven't figured him out, I heard that Liu Zhang once turned his face against Xiao Furong and the ministers, originally thought that he was a temperamental monarch who couldn't leave his children's affection, so he specially prepared a gift that Xiao Furong loved, but I didn't expect it to be this result, and I underestimated him again." ”

Xu Shu smiled and said in a long voice: "A generation of heroes, and he is not bound by common sense, no wonder he can go so far on the road against the sky, Zhengfang, your vision is right." ”

Li Yan frowned and bowed: "Sir, since Li Yan said that he would follow Mr. and Mr. will stay under Liu Biao's account, then I will not move to join Liu Zhang's mind again, now I just want to know, Liu Zhang does not agree to our conditions, and uses cavalry to monitor our army, as long as we retreat, the small force will be annihilated by cavalry, and if there is too much retreat, Baichuan City is not guaranteed, what should we do?" ”

"Don't move the banner at the head of the city." Xu Shu turned around and walked towards the city ladder.

"It's as simple as that?"

Xu Shu walked down the long ladder with his sword, feeling the wind of the changing seasons, it was cool, he breathed a breath of fresh air, and said loudly: "For the rest, then it depends on the will of heaven, and the sky determines whether we live or die." ”

…………

After the Sichuan army finished resting, Zhang Ren led the army to attack Baichuan City, and Liu Zhang and Fa Zheng stood on a high mountain ridge, looking down on the entire battlefield.

Rushing city vehicles, catapults, well railings, row by row were pushed to the city tower, the soldiers shouted and rushed to the city gate of Shirakawa, Gao Pei brandished a broadsword, took the lead, under the cover of the crossbow array, climbed along the ladder, straight up to about half a meter from the city head, and the bow and arrow on the city tower were all down.

The soldiers held their shields high to cover Gao Pei, but they were still stained with fire oil, and their bodies were on fire, Gao Pei continued to climb the city regardless of it, picked out a Jingzhou soldier with a knife, climbed to the top of the city, and fought with the Jingzhou soldiers.

The gap in the city was opened, and at this moment, three Jingzhou soldiers and horses suddenly came to the rear of the Sichuan army, and the Sichuan army broke through from three sides, and the rear of the Sichuan army was in chaos.

"General Gao, the rear is chaotic again, retreat." The adjutant general persuaded.

"No, I'm not withdrawing." Gao Pei cut down a few Jingzhou soldiers in a row, and continued to fight with his own soldiers behind him, and the deputy general stabbed an enemy soldier to death, and said while fighting: "No, general, without the support of the rear team, we won't be able to hold out for long." ”

Xu Shu, the head of the city, saw that the Sichuan army had broken through the city defense, mobilized reserves to besiege Gao Pei, and saw that a large group of enemy soldiers were pressing over, and the deputy general couldn't care so much, so he stepped forward to pull Gao Pei and dragged him back.

On a small piece of flat land on the side of the ridge, Liu Zhang sat on the grass, beating his tired legs from climbing the mountain, looking at the Sichuan army retreating like a tide, and said to Fa Zheng while beating his legs: "Xiaozhi, this is the first time we have retreated?" ”

"I can't remember." Fa Zheng shook his head: "It's been three days since the siege of the city, and the small Baichuan City has been defended for so long, Xu Shu, a famous man in Jingxiang, lives up to his name, and he actually spent five days building a big village in the woods, which not only disperses the troops in Baichuan City, but also forms a corner with Baichuan City. ”

The Sichuan army rested for five days, and during these five days, Xu Shu took advantage of most of the Sichuan army's rangers in the west and north, secretly sent people out of the city, and landed in the woods in the south, driving piles and erecting wood, and the number of Jingzhou military flags at the head of Baichuan City remained unchanged, successfully concealing the Sichuan army's sentry cavalry. Five days later, the Jingzhou soldiers cut down the surrounding trees, and a large village stood in front of the Sichuan army, which surprised the Sichuan army soldiers.

"Do you think if this continues, when will we be able to break through Shirakawa?"

"Ten days to half a month." Fa Zheng thought about it and said, now the Sichuan army has an advantage in terms of morale and strength and the quality of the soldiers, and the Jingzhou soldiers rely on the low Baichuan City, even if there are Dazhai echoing each other, it will never be possible to hold it for too long.

"Half a moon." Liu Zhang read it silently and looked at the battlefield in the distance. Zhang Ren was already reorganizing his troops and preparing for the next attack, Liu Zhang said lightly: "It doesn't matter if you wait for fifteen more days, our cavalry is monitoring the Jingzhou army, and they can't run away if they want to, but I'm afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, what kind of character is Xu Shu, will he be so desperate to defend for fifteen days?" ”

Liu Zhang was sure that if he attacked Baichuan City with this mentality, he would definitely be smiling and generous in the end, and he would regret it, and he must come up with a way to quickly take Baichuan as soon as possible.

The mountain wind was cold, Liu Zhang stretched out his palm, spread it in the air, felt the air flowing through the cracks of his fingernails, and sighed: "Summer is coming, and the change of monsoons in Xiangjiang is really big enough." ”

The Sichuan army stopped attacking the city and stationed five miles outside Baichuan City, Li Yan saw it at the head of the city, and said to Xu Shu: "Sir, why did the Sichuan army only attack for half a day today?" In the past, they were all attacked continuously. ”

Xu Shu's face was calm, his cloth fluttered in the wind, and he looked at the Sichuan army in the distance and said: "They are going to change the direction of the main attack, inform General Zhang Hu of Dazhai to guard carefully, and be sure to hold on for six days." ”

"Six days?" Li Yan was puzzled.

"Maybe five days, depending on the providence." Xu Shu shook his head, stood all morning, felt a little tired, sat on the stone pier of the city wall, leaning against the stone wall and half-lying.

Li Yan originally thought that Xu Shu was going to defend Baichuan City when he established Dazhai, and he was very worried when he watched the Sichuan army break through the city defenses again and again every day.

Looking at Xu Shu who can pinch and calculate with admiration, Li Yan really can't think of how Xu Shu calculated this time, now the nearly 10,000 cavalry of the Sichuan army is near the left, as long as the Jingzhou soldiers go out of the city, they will be annihilated.

Six days? What can you do?
