Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
You ask Liu Bei why he killed Liu Bi, in addition to one reason that Liu Bi offended Zhang Xiu, there are other reasons, one of which is that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, although Liu Bi welcomed Liu Bei to Yuzhou, but Liu Bi's influence in Yuzhou is still very great, many Yuzhou Yellow Turban thieves are instigating Liu Bi to make a comeback to take Yuzhou back, even if Liu Bi doesn't want to, his subordinates may force him to do so, just like Cai Mao and Zhang Yun dedicated to Jingzhou, Cao Cao no longer wanted to know that Liu Biao's youngest son could not have the possibility of rebellion at all, but in order to prevent trouble, he sealed Liu Cong and disappeared after a Qingzhou assassination. And Liu Bei was even more poisonous, treating Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi, relying on Liu Qi's prestige to get the support of Jingzhou, and sealed Liu Qi a Jingzhou assassin history, but Liu Qi also died the next year!
The second reason why Liu Bei killed Liu Bi is the problem of military power, if Liu Bi hands over the military power in his hands as soon as he welcomes Liu Bei into Yuzhou, then there is nothing, Liu Bei can even give Liu Bi a civilian position and a too obedient but Liu Bi, but he is greedy for power and is unwilling to teach the military power in his hands, if you don't teach it, there is nothing as long as you are obedient, but this time Liu Bi's private army really touched Liu Bei's bottom line, you can hide Liu Bei's direct army to ambush Xiliang Iron Cavalry, I can't say that I can ambush him Liu Bei, you must know that when Liu Bei went to ambush and the wolf rode in the state this time, there were not many soldiers and horses around him, and there was only a personal guard battalion, if Liu Pi had a bad idea at that time, then Liu Bei would be finished.
Such a disobedient subordinate, how could Liu Bei keep it, this time Liu Bi happened to hit the idea, so that Liu Bei had an excuse to kill Liu Bi, ambush the friendly army to grab the credit, and shoot the black gun at the friendly army, this reason killed Liu Bi No one will say much, because what is most afraid on the battlefield is that this kind of person will attack his robe for the sake of war merits, and the most intolerable general.
And the possible rebellion of Liu Pi's subordinates was also considered by Liu Bei, and the Liao Hua in front of him was Liu Bei's means. He did not arrange for the new generals in Liu Bei's army to command the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou, but directly promoted Liao Hua from the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou.
Liu Bei, the commander of Liao Hua, saw that he dared to ambush two thousand heavy armored cavalry with five thousand men and horses, and almost wiped out these two thousand heavy armored cavalry, which shows that this person is a good general, and looking at Liao Hua's gratitude to himself, Liu Bei knew that this person would not betray him, and he was directly made the chief general of the army from a 5,000 general, this kind of promotion. That's thankful for Dade.
After a long talk all night, Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei once again became good friends, Pang Tong also made a plan in the night, that is, the plan will be planned, this Xu Shu played such a ploy is nothing more than to make Zhang Xiujun and Liu Beijun turn against each other, if it is the best. Even if they can't fight, the two armies may part ways, and Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei made such an illusion, asking Zhang Xiu's army to pull out the camp first and make it look like they were going to withdraw their troops, and finally attack Shouchun again, and the Shouchun defenders were caught off guard and directly took the Shouchun City Gate.
Almost, almost this ploy succeeded. Fortunately, there is still a mobile force in Xu Shu's hands, which is Zhao Yun's two hundred white horse Congyi, relying on these two hundred white horse Congyi, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that appeared to be a surprise attack also successfully relied on the sniper guide of the White Horse Congyi, and the degree of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry slowed down, which allowed Shouchun to close the city gate and put down the drawbridge, but the industrial area could not be saved, Xu Shu could only endure the pain and burn the entire industrial area to ashes.
"Strategist, I'll let the white horse go up to the city wall to help defend the city!" Zhao Yun watched Xu Shu fight hard, after all, the garrison army under Xu Shu was a second-line department, while the siege army used by Liu Bei was a first-line department. Moreover, Xu Shu only has 10,000 people in his hands, and the enemy army under the mountain is tens of thousands of horses, if it weren't for the city wall of Shouchun, it might have been finished long ago.
"No, General Zilong, you and your white horse go down to rest from the righteousness, I need to use you in a more useful place!" Xu Shu will not let the cavalry defend the city, it has not reached that point yet. Therefore, it is impossible to use the heavy armored cavalry for the time being, and with this heavy armored cavalry, there are other things that can be done in Xu Shu. "By the way, General Zilong, you go down and let the people help me burn the golden water!" Maybe you'll be using it later! ”
"Hmm. The last general understands! Zhao Yun nodded and got down the city wall, the golden water is not made of gold, but made of rice and a lot of arsenic, and some poisonous mist of arsenic and water, this thing, the most important thing is to use it on the arrow, such an arrow is simply a concise version of the biochemical weapon, as long as it hits the person, if it is not treated well, it may be fatal, because there are a lot of bacteria on the rice field, once it enters the human body, it may form an infection, Xu Shu didn't want to use this, But I was so persecuted that I had no choice but to do this.
"Take this Shouchun, and Lu Bujun's army will be finished in Yangzhou!" Liu Bei looked at this important town and thought in his heart, as long as he won here, he Liu Bei would be able to sit on the two states of Yuyang, and after the disaster, he and Jiangdong Sun Cewancheng Zhang Xiu would destroy Lu Bu again, then there would be no one in the entire Central Plains who could stop him Liu Bei, just sit back and wait for the outcome of the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, no matter who wins, he Liu Bei will be able to occupy the Central Plains and march into Xuzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and at that time there will really be a king's business.
"Soldiers, cheer up your spirits, pick up your weapons, see the front, that is Shouchun, that is the place where Yuan Shu's second child dreamed of being the emperor, as long as we take it, we will win, the lord will definitely reward meritorious deeds, and when the time comes, you must be promoted to wealth and marry a wife, you must know that there are millions of people in this Shouchun! There are hundreds of thousands of little ladies, and it's not a problem for one person to come two or three! "This kind of morale-boosting practice is only the Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army, this is the first time Liao Hua has been the main general to encourage his subordinates, they were originally the Yellow Turban Army, Liao Hua said that it is already very gentle, at least it is to marry someone, the original Yellow Turban Army broke the city, it was directly burned and robbed, those women were ruined, how could they marry home! But Liu Bei has a good reputation, he came this time to be the master of the people, if he burns and loots, his reputation will really be over!
"Take Shouchun and get promoted!" Liao Hua shouted loudly and began to storm the city wall with his subordinates.
"Soldiers, we only have such a Shouchun City, if Shouchun City is broken, then we will have nothing, imagine your parents in the city, imagine your children and wives in the city, once the city is broken. You can imagine what kind of treatment they will encounter, it will definitely be a ruin. Don't have illusions about those troops under the city, I tell you that they are from Yuzhou, what Yuzhou was like before, you won't know it! That's a bunch of Yellow Turban Thieves, but with a different head, don't you know the cruelty of the Yellow Turban Thieves! Xu Shu naturally used the Yellow Turban Army to make a fuss, and if he wanted to let these new garrisons have a high morale, he had to let them know the importance of defending the territory.
"Kill me. Preserve the whole family! Xu Shu roared, and the garrison soldiers in the city also began to cheer up, and those who drew bows, drew bows, and carried rocks and rolling logs were also in full swing.
"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!" Under Xu Shu's orders. Those garrisons shot their bows and arrows at the enemy below like rain, there is a moat outside Shouchun, this is not the small ditch outside Gwangju City, this is a moat with a width of more than ten meters, the depth must be seven or eight meters deep, and it is also a living water, and there is a drawbridge on the moat. If you can't fill the moat, you don't want to attack Shouchun and take Shouchun at all, so Liu Beijun's first wave is used to fill the moat, every Yuzhou sergeant is holding one or two bags, and the bags are filled with dirt, and these dirt bags are thrown into the moat to fill them, in order to fill these moats quickly, they all put their weapons aside and work hard to carry them, and people are not running fast. This back and forth and those sandbags are also very heavy, such a guide zhì degree is even more unhappy, once you run slowly, it becomes an arrow target, just a few back and forth, the moat can not fill one-tenth, Liao Hua's Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army has lost thousands of people, if this continues. The moat has been filled, and his Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army is gone, this is not what Liao Hua wants, he became the chief general of the Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army, you can't let him be the commander of the light pole!
So Liao Hua stood in front of Liu Bei very pitifully. Liu Bei also knew that the losses of the Yuzhou Army were a bit big, and with a wave of his hand, he wanted Zhang Fei's Qingzhou Army to replace the Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army in Liaohua, but whether it was the Qingzhou Army or the Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army, what happened to the two was still the same.
The city of Shouchun was built very well by Yuan Shu's daydreamer, and the city walls were all convex, so the advantage of guiding zhì was that most of his arrows could cover the edge of the moat, and Liu Mang also added some things on top of this, such as the archery platform that extended out, so that the coverage of the arrows was wider, so the same result of the Qingzhou army was shot back.
Zhang Feizhan was really angry on the edge of the moat, because such a river could not be crossed, and it was difficult to attack Shouchun, but he could only watch his subordinate Erlang being shot to death by archers without the power to fight back, Liu Bei did not think about using archers to fight back, but people are in high places, you are in the place, how much strength can your arrows have even if they fly up the city wall? And if someone's arrow is thrown under gravity, you will have to kill and wound a bunch of people once.
If he continues to fight like this, even if he fills the moat, he will have to lose an army in the Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, plus the attack on the city wall, the casualties may be heavier.
"Xuande Gong, let me come!" Zhang Xiu looked at Liu Bei's embarrassment, smiled at Liu Bei and took the burden.
"General Zhang Xiu? How are your men going to fill in the moat?! "Zhang Xiu's subordinates are all heavy armored cavalry, once they get off the horse, the heavy armor on their bodies is nearly 100 catties, it is impossible to run, plus sandbags, it may be enough to walk back and forth, how to fill the moat!
"Don't worry! Xuande Gong, embroidery naturally has a clever plan! Zhang Xiu smiled at Liu Bei, he ate Liu Bei's, he took Liu Bei's for so long, it's time to do things, and Liu Bei can't take Shouchun, he Zhang Xiu is also unlucky, once Lu Bu's army has a respite, then he may have to pay a greater price, if you help Liu Bei take Shouchun as soon as possible, this Shouchun city is the base camp of Liu Mang's army, I heard that this Lu Bu has transported most of the resources and materials of Lujiang to this Shouchun, if the attack is down, the money and grain will be less!
"Hu Che'er, come to Xuande Gong, watch xiàn!" Zhang Xiu shouted loudly to his deputy general and cronie Hu Che'er.
"Yes! Lord! Brothers, it's time for you to appear, come on, come on, show your allies that we don't eat rice~" Hu Che'er's loud voice will not take into account the feelings of other people at all, Liu Beijun has always complained before, thinking that this embroidered army is eating rice, and just taking military rations and money is not working. You see that we did the siege of the city, we still did it to take the city and transport grain and grass, and it was still us to prevent the enemy from counterattacking, what did the Xiliang Iron Cavalry do? Just took care of the gun thing, you said that this Liu Beijun can balance!
"Qiang barbarian!" Zhang Fei directly scolded angrily, but fortunately, the voice was not loud and was not heard by Hu Che'er, otherwise the two would be cross-eyed.
"Boom, boom!" Zhang Xiu's Xiliang Iron Cavalry finally began to move. Hu Che'er led a total of 10,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry troops, and began to drive war horses out of the camp from the camp.
"Huh?! General Zhang Xiu, what are you?! Liu Bei was a little puzzled, because these Xiliang iron riders didn't even get off the horse, but put a bag of sandbags on the horse's back.
"Xuande Gong looks at it, and the embroidery will not deceive Xuande Gong!" Zhang Xiu was a little proud, this is a housekeeping skill of their Xiliang Iron Cavalry, don't think that the heavy armored cavalry can't conquer the city. That's because the heavy cavalry is too bad to conquer the city, and a cavalry has to be trained for a long time to be hungry, but it is different in Xiliang There are many ethnic groups, there are many Han people, and there are even more war horses. There are very few foot soldiers, but there are also battles for hegemony and cities to attack, naturally these Xiliang iron horsemen have their own siege methods, among which they also have their own methods to destroy this kind of moat.
"Boom, boom!" After everyone had a sandbag, Hu Che'er waved the double hammer in his hand, and the entire Xiliang Iron rode up, and this huge steel giant beast began to swing his unusual horror. The roar of the cavalry running made Xu Shu feel the vibration when he stood on the city wall.
10,000 cavalry rushed towards the city guarding, Xu Shu frowned, what is this for? Don't want to die? Want to ram the walls with cavalry? Or do you want to cross the moat with cavalry? This is more than ten meters, what kind of war horse can pick it up? Still really can't think about it, ready to jump into the river together, Xu Shu has a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
How could Hu Che'er's Xiliang Tieqi commit suicide by jumping into the river. One by one, they are still thinking about when to open the gate of Shouchun and let them grab a full robbing! How could it be such a light suicide?
The vanguard of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is only three hundred steps away from the moat! Two hundred steps, one hundred steps, fifty steps. Thirty paces, the degree of cavalry is very fast, the distance of thirty paces is extremely fast, and these heavy armored cavalry are about to rush into the river.
In the middle of the cavalry, Hu Che'er shouted, "Flanks, change formations, maneuver!" "The cavalry of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry seems to have a spirit, the war horse is a part of their body in their hands, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which is about to rush into the moat, suddenly turns around, and the entire Xiliang Iron Cavalry Brigade under the leadership of the striker from directly charging against the riverbank, to turning along the riverbank, at the moment of their roundabout, one after another sandbags were thrown into the moat, and 10,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry is 10,000 sandbags, and many moats were filled at once.
"Archery, archery!" Xu Shu was anxious, if this goes on like this, the moat of Shouchun can withstand being filled up like this a few times, Xu Shu wants to use arrows to drive these Xiliang iron horses away, but it is so easy.
"Huh!" Hu Che'er looked at Xu Shu on the city wall and smiled disdainfully, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a heavy armored cavalry, and the most feared is probably the arrows, although these arrows rain are intensive, but they can't hurt much when they fall on the heavy armor, only a few are unlucky, the war horse was shot dead and then fell off the horse, and the cavalry behind it will not stop, so the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that fell to the horse was all crushed to death by the war horse.
"Xuande Gong, how about I, the Xiliang Iron Rider!" Zhang Xiu looked at Liu Bei very proudly, and also looked at the generals under Liu Bei proudly. If this moat is filled, I don't bother to listen to these generals say that their Xiliang Iron Cavalry eats white rice.
"Haha, General Yangwu is really a good way, a good way!" Liu Bei is really overjoyed, don't you say that Zhang Xiu's method is really useful, a large team of heavy armored cavalry rushed over, and then turned back, as long as the sandbag on the war horse was thrown down, it would not be a problem to go to this moat, and it would only take a while to catch up with the joint efforts of the Qingzhou Army and the Yuzhou Army just now.
And if Liu Bei sends his Qingzhou army and Yuzhou army to fill it, it will be completely using human lives.
"At most, ten more rounds, this Shouchun moat can be filled in completely!" Zhang Xiu said very confidently, his uncle and Li Dao, Guo Yan and others used this method to fill in the moat in Chang'an, which is said to be dozens of meters deep, within half a day, and then Zhang Xiu was able to let Liu Biao make a covenant with him instead of directly ordering this reason, Jingzhou has many waterways, and the natural city wall will not be too high, once the moat is filled, there is basically no dangerous place.
"It can't go on like this!" Xu Shu looked at the moat in front of him, if this continues, how can Shouchun still hold the moat, but Shouchun's big natural danger is Shouchun, when Cao Cao broke through Yuan Shu's Shouchun, it still relied on the four dams, the four dams have not been repaired now, so the flooding Shouchun can't do it, and this moat is the biggest obstacle to the siege.
Now once the moat is filled, then Xu Shu will have to face Liu Bei's elite army, relying on the 10,000 garrisons in the city? How is it impossible to hold.
"Somebody's pushing those things out for me!" Xu Shu gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.
"Strategist? Are you going to use that thing now?! But now! Deng Yi on the side was very puzzled, how long is this, this is Liu Bei's first day of siege, do you need to use that thing? Isn't that a killer when the walls are unfortunate?
"At this time, you don't have to wait for any more time, do you wait for the moat to be filled in and Shouchun to be broken!" Xu Shu didn't want to use that thing, after all, that thing had a limited number of arrows, and the high-intensity use of him might make him as bad as possible, but now he had to use it.
"Okay, I see!" Deng Yi went down directly, and with his help, a series of wooden objects were pulled up the city wall.
On one side of the city wall of the entire Shouchun, there are twelve side by side.
"What's that?!" With such a big movement on the city wall, it is impossible for Liu Beijun below not to be unconscious, and he is looking at that strangely.
"Bed crossbow?!" Zhang Xiu is from Xiliang, located in the frontier, so he naturally knows the bed crossbow.
"Bed crossbow?!" Liu Bei was stunned on the side. "This is Liu Mang's supernatural bed crossbow in the army?!"
"Yes, this is the bed crossbow!" Pang Tong's eyes narrowed on the side, because he was the first person among Liu Beijun to eat a bed crossbow, and that famous dish in Huainan was still vivid.
"What about the bed crossbow! Do you think I'm going to be scared when I take this thing out! "Zhang Xiu came from Xiliang, so he naturally knew that the deterrent power of the bed crossbow was stronger than the actual lethality, but it was just the function of a wave of shooting, and it was okay to scare those foreigners, but it was useless against him Zhang Xiu.
"Rush over, rush over, fill in the moat!" Hu Che'er is the same idea.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry was getting closer and closer, and standing on the city wall, Xu Shu could rely on the telescope in his hand to see the expression on the face of the leader.
"Wind!" Xu Shu also stood up with his hand!
