"Now is not the time to talk about this, but to talk about how many soldiers and horses there are in the city. There are 30,000 people coming, and they must be alone in the depths, and without reinforcements, as long as we can hold on for a month or two, and wait for the arrival of the armies from all walks of life, we can destroy them. ”

When everyone suddenly realized, Hua Xin said.

Everyone has just woken up from a dream, and now is not the time to rejoice in the fact that they have guessed where this army has come from. How to deal with the current situation.

After all, the 30,000-strong army has entered Xudu. It's too late for anything.

"I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in the city?" I don't know who said this, and suddenly everyone in the hall turned their eyes to Wei Xingzhen.

The generals in the north have been scattered in all directions. Now the highest military governor in the city is Xing Zhen.

"Three thousand soldiers." Xing Zhen's face was ugly and said.

"Three thousand soldiers? Thirty thousand against three thousand? The crowd exclaimed.

Although it is only ten times, the art of war is ten times more surrounded. It does not mean that the attacker can choose to besiege the city by ten times, but also that the defender can defend the city if he has one-tenth of the enemy's strength.

But that's not how things are calculated. If it is an ordinary small city, there are 3,000 soldiers, and then you can scrape together some manpower and make do with it.

But Yecheng is a capital, and a capital city must be magnificent first, and then it must be big. It's not big, how can it be magnificent. Yecheng can be said to be the largest city in Hebei.

Compared with the current titular capital of the Son of Heaven, Xu Du, it is not half a point worse.

It is more than ten miles long from east to west, and it is about the same from north to south. There were twelve gates. How can you defend such a big place? There is no difference between putting 3,000 people on it and not putting it on.

"Actually, it's not just three thousand, there should be one thousand guards in each official residence. And the guards of the Duke of Wei's Mansion should also have a thousand. Coupled with the generals of your family, some strong house slaves, etc., it should be enough to make up 10,000. ”

At this time, Xiahou Shang next to him spoke again.

It can be seen from this that Xiahou Shang is a very talented person. Every sentence can be to the point. Defending the city can not only count soldiers, but also some miscellaneous forces.

And this is the capital of the Wei State, and there are many dignitaries. Not only domestic slaves, but also some generals in general, will feed some old soldiers.

And these old taxi sons are generally very brave.

10,000 people is not a problem.

Lord Xing immediately went to prepare. Qing and the eldest prince came with the old man. Wang Lang nodded, then glanced at Xiahou Shang, and added: "Lord Xiahou also came with the old man." ”

Xiahou Shang's composure and analytical ability just now obviously made Wang Lang look at him.

"No." Xiahou Shang promised and immediately got up. Together with Qing, Cao Pi and others, including Wang Lang, they left the Wei Mansion and rode their horses to the north of the city.

Soon after Cao Pi and the others left, the sound of war drums sounded in the city. ##

"Knock knock." The earth-shattering sound of war drums not only told the army to assemble, but also told a large number of officials, people, etc. in Yecheng that the war had broken out.

And at this moment, the north of the city is even more tense.

A large number of soldiers hurriedly bent their bows and arrows, staring at the Chu army under the city. More soldiers took up some of the tools to defend the city and piled them up on the city.

It's a mess.

Wu Xue leaned against the female wall, and also set his eyes on the city. Now the Chu army is building a large camp, and it seems that there is no intention of attacking the city immediately.

This made Wu Xue breathe a sigh of relief, but he was still very dignified.

Slowly, not busy with siege, but encamped. This means that this Chu general has already made up his mind and intends to conquer Yecheng in two days, or even five days.

I will not give up.

Now it's encampment, maybe wait, or tomorrow there will be a fierce attack.

"General Wu, what's the situation?" At this time, Cao Pi, Wang Lang, Xiahou Shang and others walked up to the city, and Wang Lang asked Wu Xuedao.

Wu Xue couldn't help but turn his head, seeing that Qing, the eldest prince and others had arrived, his heart suddenly relaxed, as the saying goes, even if the sky falls, there are tall people on top.

Now that these adults are here, he doesn't have to worry.

"Lord Qiqi, at this moment, the Chu army is encamping. It was stationed near the city gate two hundred meters. Wu Xue said.

"Two hundred meters away? This is expected to be that there are not many elite soldiers in my city. Xiahou Shang snorted coldly and said.

At such a close distance, if there is a sneak attack, it is difficult for the average army to respond. And now that Lu Xun is like this, he must have expected that there are not many soldiers and horses in the city.

Conceited.

Xiahou is still not used to conceited people.

"It's very arrogant. But it is. Wu Xue's face showed a bitter look and said.

"What is the situation in the west, east, and south of the city now?" Wang Lang asked again.

"There are large camps in the south and west of the city, but there is no camp in the south of the city." At this time, Wu Xue had already contacted the guards in the south and west of the city, so he knew the situation and couldn't help but say.

"Circumference three missing one?" Wang Lang touched Xia Bei's beard and said.

"A classic of soldiers. But his intention was certainly not to besiege. Because if the king gets the news, he will definitely send cavalry over. A round trip of one month is enough. And it will take time for them to escape. Therefore, the time for their attack was only about half a month. Xiahou Shang next to him opened his mouth and said, with a sneer on his face and said, "Maybe it's an ambush outside." ”

"Makes sense." Wang Lang pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement.

"So, we either defend the city or break through, but the breakthrough must not go south?" Hua Xin was silent for a moment and said.

"That's pretty much it." Wang Lang nodded.

"Anyway, it seems that they are not in a hurry to attack the city now, which gives us a little time to transfer manpower." Cao Pi said on the side.

Seeing that the army outside the city was slowly encamping, my heart breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes." Xiahou Shang nodded and said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how is this decided? Is it to defend the city, or to break through? The people next to him each said that they made Wu Xue have a little headache, and they couldn't help but leave. Road.

"Let's guard it first, Wei Xingzhen has already allocated manpower, and he should be able to raise 10,000." Cao Pi turned his head and said to Wu Xue.

"No." When Wu Xue heard that there were 10,000 hands, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and promised.

In this way, the ministers of Cao Wei's entire capital decided to temporarily defend the city after a period of deliberation. In the arsenal, some bows and crossbows, Wei knives and so on that were originally stored were carried up.

Some tools for defending the city, such as boulders, were also brought in from some places. It's a troubled time, and even the capital city may experience war.

For these preparations, Cao Cao has done a lot of work.

The Chu army camp under the city was slowly built at this time.

At this moment, Lu Meng had already gone to the other side. There is only one general in the battalion, Lu Xun. He led some of his own soldiers and slowly inspected the camp.

Cao Wei was anxious, but Lu Xun was quite relaxed. Lu Xun has already made a plan for his daughter, and the soldiers will rest tonight. Attack the city tomorrow, and force the ministers of the city to lead the army to protect Cao Pi and others to break through within three days.

Then they intercepted and killed.

Complete the attack on Yecheng, destroy Yecheng, and obtain Yecheng's treasures in a short period of time. When Lu Xun was still in Wu County, he had already thought about these things carefully.

After inspecting the camp, Lu Xun returned to the military tent. The order was given to have a good meal in the evening and then an early rest. Siege tomorrow.

After giving the order, Lu Xun also planned to take off his morning jacket and take a rest. He was also tired from the day's work.

However, at this time, a pro-soldier walked in.

"General, there is a person outside the camp who claims to be Xu Huang's eldest son, Xu Gai, who asks to see him."

"Xu Huang's eldest son?" Lu Xun immediately lost his sleepiness when he heard this, Xu Huang is currently working for the Chu State, but he has always been alone, although Kou Feng gave some concubines, but there seems to be no happy news.

Therefore, Xu Huang has no relatives in the Chu State. This is not a very good thing for Xu Huang. May affect some moods.

Kou Feng once tried to find a way to intercept some of Xu Huang's family back. But there was no time to shoot. This time, Lu Xun went north, and he also had the purpose of intercepting some of Xu Huang's family members to return south.

Now that Xu Gai has actually come to the door, of course Lu Xun wants to see him. Moreover, Lu Xun had already guessed Laihui, probably wanting to ask to return to Chu with them.

"Get in." After pondering for a moment, Lu Xun raised his hand and said.

"No." The soldier said yes and immediately walked out. After a while, Lu Xun found two powerful personal soldiers to escort him.

Wait quietly.

Lu Xun is a handsome talent, and he has no force. Of course, you have to watch out for assassins or something.

However, when Xu Gai was brought in by his own soldiers, Lu Xun dispelled the idea, it should be that Xu Gai looked very similar to Xu Huang, almost printed out of a noon mold.

"Meet the Admiral of the State of Chu." After Xu Gai came in, he immediately gave Lu Xun a big salute.

"Hurry up, please." Lu Xun hurriedly raised his hand and said.

Hearing this, Xu Gai straightened up again, and hurriedly looked at Lu Xun with his spare eyes. Heart shocked, good young general.

"I don't know what Mr. meant?" Immediately, Lu Xun asked tentatively, although he guessed the ** of the ten, he still had to ask.

"I want to ask the general to gather his family and go to the Chu State." Xu Gai pleaded.

Lu Xun nodded, as expected. Xu Huang surrendered, after all, it still had an impact. Although Xu Huang had a lot of credit to Cao Cao before, after he surrendered, Cao Cao did not embarrass Xu Huang too much.

But it is estimated that some of the white eyes around are unbearable.

"At present, Ling Zun is a general in Chu State, and it is Chu Jun's wish to take you back to Chu State, which is a matter of course." Lu Xun said with a smile.

"Thank you, General." Xu Gai was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately bowed down.

They have really suffered too many grievances in the Wei State, and now the people of their clan are not trusted, and no one is an official. Even Yecheng rarely went. Only guards the thin fields outside the city to live.

The future is bleak.

Therefore, as soon as he heard that the army of Chu was coming, Xu Gai immediately came to ask for a meeting.

After thanking him, Xu Gai suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but say: "General, I also heard that Cao Cao's favorite Cao Zhi is currently playing fifty miles outside the city.

Send a large army over now, and maybe catch it. ”

Since Xu Huang surrendered, they have suffered a lot. Naturally, they had no loyalty to Cao Wei, but the state of Chu was willing to accept them. Xu Gai happened to know about this again, so he naturally said it.

"Haha, I didn't expect that the city was not broken, and I could catch one. Come, go and get some cavalry. Lu Xun laughed when he heard this, what did he come to Yecheng for?

Breaking through the capital and forcing Cao Cao to retreat is naturally the first place, but capturing Cao Cao's family and son alive is also very important.

Now that the city is not broken, there is news of Cao Zhi, which is really gratifying. (To be continued.)
