Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
It's been two days! Wei Yan really knelt there for two whole days! I didn't eat or drink for two days, it was rainy in Huainan, and there was a light rain in the past two days, but it really washed away Wei Yan's arrogance.
"Figured it out!" Liu Mang didn't know when he appeared behind Wei Yan.
"Huh?!" Wei Yan was physically and mentally exhausted, you must know that kneeling on the ground motionless for two days and two nights is really not something that one person does, not to mention that Wei Yan still has injuries on his body, so Liu Mang spoke at the beginning Wei Yan didn't hear clearly.
"I asked if you figured it out!" Liu Mang also repeated it patiently.
"Me!" Wei Yan didn't know how to answer, he had been kneeling here for two days, and he had also been ashamed and angry in the past two days, and he had also been dissatisfied with Liu Mang, but these dissatisfaction was gradually suppressed by a kind of frustration, because he was not wrong about what Liu Mang said now. He only has one body of martial arts, and he has nothing but this thing! This is a troubled era that needs talents, but who knows if you are a talent! Even if he knew, so what, he was not a scholar, and he couldn't get promoted without money! has been in Jingzhou for so many years, and he is just a city gate squad leader, with more than a dozen people under him, and two of them are on empty salaries.
He Wei Yan can go back now, but what about after he goes back! Is life still the same as before? Mixed day by day? He's in his thirties this year, and how many years will he have if he continues like this? How many thirty years are there in life? He confessed, but what he wanted in his heart was to worship Liu Mang's command! After that, he showed his ambitions again, and even Wei Yan was still thinking about using Liu Mang as a springboard! Go directly to the Lord Lu Bu. Or use Liu Mangjun to train his own soldiers. In the end, it's a big deal to rebel again. When the time comes, he still cares about the rest with soldiers and horses in hand!
On the trajectory of history, isn't this what Wei Yan did! Killed Changsha Taishou Han Xuan and took refuge in Liu Bei, although Han Xuan is not very good, but he treats Wei Yan sincerely, Wei Yan is just a small city gate captain, it was Han Xuan who used Wei Yan in the end of the micro, but how did Wei Yan treat Han Xuan! directly killed Han Xuan with one sword, and even Huang Zhong on the side couldn't stand it.
So after subduing Liu Ran with Wei Yan, Huang Zhong drew a clear line with Wei Yan! And the reason why Zhuge Liang said to Wei Yan that there is a backbone in the back of his head is not because Wei Yan really has a backbone in the back of his head, even if there is. That is also the problem of his father's birth and upbringing, in fact, it is Wei Yan's attitude towards the old master Han Xuan! The guide zhì Zhuge Liang's words to Liu Bei are this, Wei Yan can kill Han Xuan, and if he is not even, he can turn against you for the sake of wealth and wealth, Liu Ran ran!
"You don't have to say more!" Liu Mang will not listen to Wei Yan's words of loyalty, the more such a person shows his loyalty in front of you, the more problematic it will be!
"I'll give you two options now!" Liu Mang stretched out two fingers very indifferently, "First!" Just go back to your Jingzhou and continue to be your city gate captain! Just mix it up for the rest of your life! ”
Mix for a lifetime! This sentence really made Wei Yan very sad, hasn't he already passed half of his life! He wanted to refute but didn't know where to speak, so he could only be silent.
"Second! I'm giving you a chance to show your talents! Liu Mang threw out his olive branch, and before Liu Mang could say anything, Wei Yan had already spoken in a hoarse voice, "Wei Yan, Wei Wenchang is willing to drive for the lord!" ”
"Hehe, yes! Chengguan Army! If you want to stay with me, you can! Go to the Chengguan Army"
"Chengguan Army?!" Wei Yan's originally tired body was greatly boosted, and the Chengguan Army was one of the two elites in Liu Mang's hands! If you talk about the trump card, then it is the city management army! The Chengguan army not only has heavy armor foot soldiers. And there was a battalion of two hundred heavily armored cavalry! In Jingzhou, Wei Yan had heard of the achievements of this army, that is, they defended the city of Anhui. Let Sun Ce's 100,000 army return, who doesn't want to be in command of such a force! But Wei Yan remembered again. Doesn't this city management army already have a chief general and a deputy general! The main general is Cheng Yu, who seems to be the original figure of the state army, and Huang Xu is the son of a veteran who fought with him over there, so what position does Liu Mang give himself!
"Ordinary soldiers!" How could Liu Mang not know the puzzled look on Wei Yan's face, and wanted to take charge of the Chengguan Army as soon as he opened? You Wei Yan think too highly of yourself! The Chengguan Army is the descendant of Liu Mang's lineage, if it is not the person who thinks he is the most assured, how can he hand over the Chengguan Army!
Cheng Yu is the person Liu Mang is most familiar with! The first thing Liu Mang encountered when he came to this world was Cheng Yu, and it was Cheng Yu who saved his life, on the contrary, the miracles brought by Liu Mang had already convinced Cheng Yu!
Huang Xu, the deputy general of the Chengguan Army, is the son of Huang Zhong, he saved Huang Xu's life and got the diehard loyalty of Huang Zhong's family, it can be said that the Huang family is already his Liu Mang's general! In any case, the Huang family has been branded by Liu Mang, and Huang Zhong gave up mastering the army in order to protect himself, so Liu Mang had to give this deputy general position to Huang Xu in order to repay and not let his henchmen chill, not to mention that Huang Xu is also a talent!
Let Liu Mang remove Cheng Yu or Huang Xu let Wei Yan be the main general or deputy general, how can it be! Wei Yan, Liu Mang's real mastery, is only five or five points! So now I have to be a soldier of the Chengguan Army for him! I hope that this kind of low-level position can polish Wei Yan's kind of wolf ambition!
"If you go! Then go find Cheng Yu! Don't you think you're talented? You have good martial arts! You should know the rewards and punishments in our army! If you have confidence in yourself, then go, and I won't be reluctant to go! Anyway, the mud can't support the wall, it's still the same sentence! The gate is there, and I will listen to it! Liu Mang didn't wait for Wei Yan to give a reply, and left directly with a few personal guards.
"Wei Yan, Wei Yan, don't let me down!" The reason why Liu Mang didn't take Huang Zhong with him this time was because Huang Zhong, Xu Sheng, Gan Ning, and the three of them had been arranged by Liu Mang on the way to leave Hefei, if Wei Yan chose to give up! Then don't blame Liu Mang for being ruthless.
Liu Mang can't take care of Wei Yan now! Because he needs to reorganize his arms for war, Shouchun is still in Liu Ranran's hands, and he must be taken down. Otherwise, the entire Lujiang River would really be exposed to Liu Ranran's sight. And Liu Mang has no water area for him to train a water army. There was also no place to repair the dock and build the dock warship, so what was the use of the craftsmen who spent so much effort to get from Liu Biao from Sun Ce!
"Uncle Hong has inquired clearly!" Liu Mang asked Yang Hong, Yang Hong is now fully responsible for Liu Mang's army's intelligence, and the internal lines used are basically before Yuan Shu, and Liu Mang also allocated 3,000 gold to Yang Hong, because Liu Mang knows the importance of intelligence to a force!
"Master, inquire clearly! Now in Shouchun is Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu Guan Yunchang is stationed, and his subordinates have 10,000 soldiers and horses! Most of them are Qingzhou soldiers," Yang Hong said with his head down. Yang Hong is in charge of intelligence and diplomacy, which is really good. "His main men are at the south gate! There are about seven thousand people! ”
"South Gate!" Liu Mang touched the beard he had just grown, a total of 10,000 soldiers and 7,000 horses were placed at the south gate, and the remaining three city gates were 1,000 on one side! Isn't this south gate south of your own direction! It seems that this Guan Erye is really guarding himself! But no matter how precautionary he is, this Shouchun is going to be decided!
"What do you think, Yuanzhi!" Liu Mang remembered that he still had a top strategist here, so why should he use his own brain!
"Shouchun, 10,000 horses!" Xu Shu also got some information, and he got it from Yang Hong, this Shouchun was built very solidly by Yuan Shu and Yuan Highway! Although it was later broken by Lao Cao, it was also because there were four dams, and it was also the rainy season that Cao Cao stored the upstream Yingshui Huai River canals, and at that time Yuan Shu had already shrunk into the Shouchun City. If Lao Cao really goes to beat Shouchun hard, even if he defeats Yuan Shu, Lao Cao himself will be greatly injured!
So Lao Cao went to dig four dams. It's like flooding Pi, which flooded Lao Yuan, and the terrain of Shouchun was originally low! Xiapi was flooded, and he could still hold on to the city wall for a while, and the Shouchun flood might have hidden the city wall! What else to fight at that time!
So Yuan Shu could only withdraw from Shouchun, so in fact, Shouchun's city wall was not much damaged! After the water retreated, Yuan Shu returned to Shouchun again, and made a major repair to Shouchun! The one responsible for repairing is Yang Hong, and the four dams were also directly rerouted by Yang Hong, originally the dam was used for irrigation in the Huainan generation of Shouchun, and Yuan Shujun was like that, and there were still a few people under his rule! So I simply filled the dam, and now it's not the rainy season, and flooding Shouchun is completely unworkable!
"Lord, we can go to Lujiang first, repair the dock in Lujiang, make warships, and the Ganning Navy will directly attack the north gate of Shouchun from the Huai River, and then let the Chengguan Army and the Black Chess Army storm the south gate of Shouchun at the same time, so that Liu Bei's army will be broken under the division of troops!" Xu Shu said to Liu Mang.
"But it's like Liu Bei's troops!" Yang Hong asked a little puzzled.
"Hehe, if he wants to increase his troops, he must be able to fly over!" Xu Shu knows the combat effectiveness of the naval army under Liu Mang, Gan Ning can destroy the 30,000 naval army in Jiangdong with 7,000 people, and now the naval army and the increase in troops have reached 12,000, and Liu Bei has a total of 40,000 horses and horses can have a geometric naval army! From the Lujiang River to build a ship, you can completely block Liu Bei's army north of Anfengjin on the Yingshui and Huai River, and Guan Yu in Shouchun at that time became a lone army, so it is still casual Liu Mang's army kneading! Even if you don't attack Shouchun, as long as the waterway is blocked, Shouchun's military rations will be used up sooner or later!
"Yuan Zhi's plan is good!" The feeling of having a strategist is cool, and it is a desperate plan to come up directly, according to Xu Shu's thoughts, maybe Guan Erye really can't escape, not only the army will be lost, but the possibility of life will not be guaranteed, if there is no strategist! Then Liu Mang will directly send someone to attack! But now Liu Mang shook his head with a smile: "Yuan Zhi's strategy is good, but our army doesn't have so much time!" ”
Lujiang can build a dock, but how big a dock can a county build, and how much can it produce! Gan Ning's 12,000 naval army, Liu Mang is ready to build fifty warships to get out of the first fleet of inland rivers! Liu Mang, the former building ship, doesn't want to build it anymore! So it was inevitable to build a new ship! The new ship needs to be launched for testing, and Liu Mang doesn't want to be watched by Guan Yu in Shouchun all the time!
According to Xu Shu's idea, if he plans to go down to Lì, it will take half a year to win Shouchun, half a year! Half a year is too long, and there are too many variables! So no!
"What does the lord mean?!" Xu Shu was a little puzzled, his strategy was already the best, because Liu Mang only had 18,000 people under his command now! The black chess army of the Chengguan army is a heavy infantry battle in the field, and you can't let them consume it in siege warfare! Gan Ning's 10,000 sailors are also good at manipulating warships. If you just attack the city, it will really be a big loss!
"Assault!" Liu Mang said the words that Xu Shu was most unwilling to hear. Storm! Guan Yu has 10,000 men under him, and Liu Mang has less than 20,000! Guan Yu is not a vegetarian. He is also a battle-hardened general, and his subordinate Yang Hong also said that most of them are Qingzhou soldiers and horses, how can these Qingzhou soldiers sound so familiar! It's not familiar, it's Lu Bujun's old opponent! Lao Cao's attack on Xuzhou is to use the Qingzhou soldiers as the main force, they were originally the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was determined by Lao Cao's war, the Yellow Turban Army has been so many years, the old, weak, sick and disabled have long died on the road, and the rest of the Yellow Turban Army is basically elite!
A full 300,000 young people. plus the family members, that is a million people, which also lays the foundation for Lao Cao to lay the entire Central Plains in the future!
Among the 300,000, when Lao Cao was crusading against Lu Bu, he transferred 100,000 Qingzhou troops from it to form the elite of Qingzhou! Such elite people dare to work hard, why! Because they are hungry and afraid, and Lao Cao will give them a bite to eat, give them a place to live and give them a way to live, so they will work hard for Lao Cao, and the Qingzhou Army is a soldier who has eaten human flesh for a mouthful! Although Cheng Yu really had no choice but to make a decision without military rations at that time, it was a fact that he ate human flesh!
So these starving ghosts in Qingzhou! can fight on par with the wolf cubs under Lu Bu's command and the state! Even because of Guo Jia, and Lu Bu couldn't listen to Chen Gong's persuasion at that time, he couldn't beat the starving ghosts!
Now Guan Yu has such a 10,000-horse starving ghost in Qingzhou! They were allocated by Cao Cao to Liu Bei to help him conquer the world, who knew that Liu Ranran was not willing to be a little brother at all, and he would directly rebel! Originally, Liu Bei had nearly 20,000 Qingzhou troops in his hands. In addition, he cut off the stomach of the car, and received the 20,000 Qingzhou troops that Lao Cao put in Xuzhou in Xuzhou. Forty thousand horses! Although he was beaten away by Lao Cao! But after arriving in Runan, there were still 20,000 people left! These 10,000 people were run to Guan Yu by Liu Run.
If you storm! The 18,000 people under Liu Mang's command can not be beaten is a word, after all, Shouchun City is not weaker than Anhui City's defense, and Sun Ce's 100,000 army also lost 20,000 or 30,000, including 10,000 Danyang soldiers, so he went to the city wall, and Liu Liu Mang only had 18,000 people! Twelve thousand of them are still sailors, and I really don't know if they can go up to the city wall if they really fight!
Even if the city wall is taken, it will be a heavy loss, and there are only two ways left for Liu Mang, either to retreat to Lujiang, or to ask Lu Bu for help, and it is really good to be embarrassed to be like this!
"The lord must not attack by force!" Xu Shu is really afraid that Liu Mang will be arrogant after fighting so many battles, and he will be stubborn and self-serving, so why do you want him Xu Shu to do!
"Yuan Zhi! You think I'm the kind of person who jokes! Liu Mang looked at Xu Shu with a smile, and attacked strongly, if the old man of Chen Palace or Lu Bu was here, he would also think that Liu Mang was stupid, and the strong attack was always a plan that was implemented in the end when there was really no plan. It's like Lu Bu attacking Bagong Mountain! Attacking, Bagong Mountain will be broken, but the loss is too great, so there is a trail after Zang Ba to go up.
"But my lord!" Xu Shu was still in a hurry, and Yang Hong on the opposite side was very indifferent.
"Yuan Zhi! Look at Uncle Hong, you haven't gotten home yet! Liu Mang quipped.
"My lord, you're not because you don't have to raise your energy!" Gentlemen and scribes like to cultivate qi, and the cultivation of qi here is not to learn Taoism, but to pay attention to a word quiet, calm, he must have a calm mind to analyze a qiē thing, no matter what life must be very indifferent! Mount Tai collapsed on the face and the face did not change color, this is the cultivation of qi to a certain realm! But Liu Mang's current is to nourish his qi! It's completely self-righteous and keeps persuading! "My lord, you need to know if you attack it! What losses of our army! At least half of them died, and even if they won Shouchun, the gains outweighed the losses! ”
"Half of them died? Yuan Zhi, you look too high at Shouchun Zhongguan Erye! Liu Mang stretched out a finger.
"Casualties? No way! The lord is that you underestimate Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang too much! "Xu Shu was optimistic about Liu Mang before coming here, there were only two people, one was Liu Mang and the other was Liu Bei! The reason why I am optimistic about Liu Bei is because Liu Bei has generals under his command, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Chen Dao! All three of them are characters who can command troops and horses against one side! Moreover, there is still a shortage of strategists under Liu Bei, and there is a lack of top strategists like Xu Shu! So Xu Shu must be reused when he gets there, and then the black fat man passed first, Xu Shu was a little indifferent, with him, Xu Shu could only add icing on the cake in the past, but he couldn't send charcoal in the snow, so he wanted to go and see Liu Mang's recruitment order first.
This Guan Yu and the Qingzhou soldiers under his command are definitely not weaker than Liu Mang's Chengguan Army and Black Chess Army! And how did the black chess army climb the city wall with such a hundred-pound armor? How to go about the siege!
"One floor? No, no! Liu Mang shook his head, "I'm not talking about a layer, but not a single person is hurt!" If he Guan Yu Guan Yun knows each other for a long time, I will let him live, if he doesn't know it, then let me stay in this Shouchun! The corners of Liu Mang's mouth curled, he didn't want to kill Guan Yu so early, but if Second Master Guan didn't give face, then he could only turn Shouchun into his wheat city!
"What the hell is wrong with you, lord!" Xu Shu is now Liu Mang is a little stunned, no one is hurt? Do you want to leave Guan Yu behind? It's not a demon!
"Huh! It seems that if you don't take Yuan Zhi to see it, you won't believe what I say! Liu Mang patted Xu Shu's shoulder: "Let's go, Yuan Zhi!" You'll know when you arrive! (To be continued......)
ps: Another 5,000 words short! I'll have to make up another 10,000 tomorrow! Ay! I really can't stand my lazy temper! Tomorrow 20,000 words update! It's so helpless! The next is to beat Liu Ran away! Don't underestimate Liu Run!
