Chapter 27 Helping to Defend Juancheng

Yeshun feels that he has been in vain for the past two years, and now he looks back like a clown. I thought I could change history...... Well, in a sense, it has indeed changed, at least Lu Bu entered Yanzhou more than half a year earlier. Moreover, the remaining foothold of the Cao family in Yanzhou was reduced from three cities to two, and the difficulty of Cao Cao's retreat was increased from E-level to C-level......

With Xun Yu and Cheng Yu these fierce people, he believes that Juancheng will definitely be able to hold it, and he also believes that Cao Cao will soon retreat from the front line, even if he risks the greatest danger, he will inevitably rush back to rescue the old nest. But what happens next? Originally, Cao Cao was going to fight with Lu Bu for nearly half a year, and the surrounding forces had no time to intervene. Now that the situation has become more critical, God knows how long this battle will last? As soon as the time drags on, maybe Yuan Shao in the north and Yuan Shu in the south will be followed by praying mantises.

Yes, now Xuzhou in the east has changed from an enemy country to a country with you, but is Tao Qian really that reliable? In the original history, not long after Cao Cao retreated, Tao Qian hung up because he was frightened, and Liu Bei took over Xuzhou. But now that Tao Qian is not dead, it is estimated that he will not hang up soon, he sees that Lu Bu is going to seize Yanzhou, Yuan Shu may fight Xuzhou, will his bones be soft again, and he will return to Yuan Shu's camp?

Although Xuzhou is big, there is only one Chen Deng who can be trusted, not to mention the Elk family and the Cao family, even if his third brother is wide, he can't believe it at all. But can Chen Yuanlong alone persuade Tao Qian to continue to cooperate with Cao Cao?

Shi Xun's heart was full of ups and downs, but his ears were not idle, so he heard Xun Yu say: "Now there are 13,000 soldiers in Juancheng, most of them are yellow scarves from Tuntian...... cough, Qingzhou soldiers, if Guan Hai is well, he may be able to unite people's hearts and fight hard, but unfortunately Guan Hai is injured and difficult to do......" He looked at Shi Xun: "I don't know what good plan Hongfu has?" ”

It's Xun Xin who said that I don't know how to fight, why do you ask me what I have to do? Looking at Xun Yu's eyes and glancing to the side from his face several times, he understood-he was sitting next to Tai Shi Ci, what Xun Yu meant, is this Tai Shi Ziyi reliable? Can you give him the power of the army?

After all, all the people sitting in the hall are civil officials, only Ren Jun has brought a few days of soldiers, but after Ren Jun has been shelved for 2,000 years, he is a logistics minister in the army, not a general. Originally, Cao Cao's southern expedition was to give Chen Gong all the military responsibilities in the rear, and Chen Gong could fight, but now Chen Gong has turned into an enemy!

Shi Xun didn't answer Xun Yu's question, but turned his head and waved at Tai Shici: "If you want to save the life of Mancheng, you will rely on Ziyi to help, and I hope Ziyi will not give up." ”

Tai Shi Ci had already been itching and scratching, and he was eager to try, so he asked rhetorically: "Just look at the state of defense in the city, the sergeants are quite strict, but it is difficult to defeat the enemy only by relying on the defensive position. If a certain person wants to lead an army out of the city and fight with Lu Bu, I don't know if the princes will agree? ”

He actually didn't want to defeat Lu Bu by relying on field battles, not to mention that Lu Bu's prestige resounded all over the world, and there was no one to stop the elite cavalry under his command, and at present, Lu Bu's main force had not yet arrived, and when the enemy situation was unknown, he would say that the city field battle was a nonsense thing. He wanted to see if this civilian official was really willing to hand over all the power of the army to himself, or whether he would say one thing and do another. If there are many constraints at that time, then this military power should not be necessary.

Everyone was still muttering, it was Xun who had been in contact with Tai Shici for a long time, and roughly guessed his thoughts, so as soon as he gritted his teeth, Lao Tzu gambled on it, and replied first: "If the enemy army arrives, Ziyi thinks it is necessary, and he can go out of the city to fight." The army is impermanent, and it only changes temporarily. ”

Cheng Li nodded: "Hongfu's words are right. He turned to Xun Yu and said, "Since the Taishi monarch is in charge of guarding the city, then Cheng asks to lead a group of soldiers and horses out of the city, go to Fan County, and contact the county commander Jin Yun to make it a horn." Xun Yu immediately made a decision: "Lu Bu and Chen Gong, if the army comes, the hearts of the people of Juan and Fan will be moved, and if Zhongde goes to Zhenfan County, I don't have to worry." "Ordered the dispatch of 1,000 soldiers and horses, and asked Cheng Li to take them to Fan County.

Then he turned to Ren Jun again, and said in a consultative tone: "Boda, the matter of the city guard is very complicated, and Boda may not be able to take the ...... alone" Ren Jun did not hesitate: "Since Hong Fuyan Taishi Jun can take on the responsibility of guarding the city, then Ren should be a virtuous man." The affairs of the city are all entrusted to Tai Shijun, and the security and recruitment of servants in the city are all on Ren's shoulders, which will never make Tai Shijun have any worries. ”

Tai Shici went to save Duchangcheng at the beginning, and no one listened to him when his mouth was worn out, but now he came to Juancheng, and the people who came up said to give you the military power, and Ren Jun, who originally held the military power, also said that he would hand over the power, and he was almost so moved that he couldn't speak. As the saying goes, "the one who is a confidant dies", now that Hongfu is here, the Cao family is still a civil official who understands the righteousness and has no selfishness, so don't plan to run to the south, this seven-foot body will be sold to the Cao family, what is the regret! Thinking of this, I couldn't help but lean down and bow deeply to everyone: "Ci has the trust of all the kings, dare to disobey his orders?" If you have mercy here, you will not let the reckless man of the state despise my Juancheng! ”

At the end of the discussion, Shi Xun followed Tai Shi Ci on a tour of the city, and saw more than a dozen generals who led the team, and his heart was a little calmer. He felt that he had been a little left at first, and that he had judged the situation too seriously.

Different from the original history, at this time Cao Cao had already begun to work in Yanzhou Tuntian, and with the first year's harvest, the Juancheng warehouse was full, so the morale was a little higher. On the other hand, Lu Bu and Chen Gong, as in the original history, can only collect grain stocks from various counties, and the quantity is very small, and the grain and grass reserves are very problematic. And now the main generals defending Juancheng are no longer Xun Yu, Cheng Li, Ren Jun, Xue Yi, but Tai Shici. Those few are not incapable, but they are not talented generals, and they are more than enough to defend and not enough to fight. With Tai Shici leading the troops, it is possible to inflict a heavy defeat on LΓΌ Bu under Juancheng, and when Cao Cao returns to Yanzhou, although there is one less city to gain a foothold, the strategic situation may be better.

At this time, it was winter, and there was no work in the field, so Cao Cao brought the elite of the Qingzhou soldiers to the front line, and now the Tuntian soldiers who help defend Juancheng are all old and weak, and their combat effectiveness is not strong, but they have also been flowing for many years, and they have been killed from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain. More than a dozen officers came to meet the new general Tai Shici, half of whom were the original yellow turban thieves, and they approached to greet Shixun first - they all knew that Lu Dao was Xun, and they knew that Lu Dao was Xun who saved his life and the life of the handsome Guan Hai, and heard that Miss Guan decided to make this gentleman a concubine. I rely on our yellow scarves...... Uncle of Qingzhou soldiers!

Tai Shici saw this scene in his eyes, and after the generals retreated, he said to Shi Xun: "Hongfu come to help defend the city, you have a very high prestige among the Qingzhou soldiers, and you will rely on Hongfu to gather morale." "Yes Xun really didn't want to go to the city to fight, so he kept following, but he was afraid that Tai Shi Ci would not be able to suppress the generals when he first arrived, so he relied on his old face of Cao Cao from his brother-in-law to help him sit in town, so as to fulfill the friendship of friends. But Tai Shici begged directly, and he couldn't refuse it in one bite, so he could only say: "Brother's bow horse, Ziyi also knows it - that's a joke." Therefore, my brother only helps in the city, and I will not go to the field. ”

Tai Shi Ci smiled slightly: "If you really want to fight in the field, Hongfu will follow, and you will have to take care of you, and it will be difficult to fight with all your might." It's okay not to go. ”

The main force of Lu Bu's army was under the city of Juancheng that he arrived two days later. Shi Xun and Tai Shi Ci climbed the city and looked, only to see that the mountains and fields of Hula were full of enemies, and there were many cavalry among them. Tai Shi Ci estimated it as soon as he opened his eyes, and said to Shi Xun: "About 17,800, there are 2,000 horsemen - these horses are not enough to attack the city." If we dare not go out of the city to fight because of fear, we will weaken the morale of our own side. ”

I heard a voice next to me: "If Chen Gong searches all the soldiers and horses in various counties, and the slaves and maids of large households, there are no less than 30,000 people, but they have not yet gathered, Taishi Jun cannot underestimate the enemy." Shi Xun turned his head and looked, it turned out that he was engaged in Xue Yi. Tai Shi Ci smiled slightly: "Our army has more than 10,000 people, if we make the people go to the city to help defend it, we can easily get 40,000 people, what are you afraid of?" Duo Cheng Xue Jun reminded that Ci will not be careless and reckless. ”

So he ordered the troops to open the city, and went out of Lu to meet with Lu Bu for a while, so as to frustrate the enemy's spirit. Yes Xun said that then I will shout and cheer you on in the city, and I won't go down. Tai Shi Ci "Ha Lu Ha" Da Lu smiled: "Hongfu is getting older, how can his courage be consumed, when he killed Duchang with a certain person that day, he was not so cowardly...... Such a self-respecting identity. ”

It was Xun Xin who said that you have a kind of don't swallow that word, let me hear whether it is "cowardice" or "cowardice". Time has changed, Duchang City and Juancheng are completely different, at that time, you were safer than in the city, but now it is not necessarily......

Tai Shi Ci went down to the city, and according to the old rules, Shi Xun followed the old rules and watched the enemy battle with the city with a bow and arrow. Unlike the previous two times to defend the city (Han and Duchang), he is now wearing a leather helmet and leather armor, and his protection will be +3 - the iron armor piece ordered by Guan Si at the blacksmith shop in the city has actually been delivered, but it was Xunguang who held the big bag of things in both hands and decided that he should wear leather armor...... If I put these on again, will I be able to walk down the aisle?!

Tai Shi Ci has changed into an iron armor, although it is not as gorgeous as Sun Ce, the protection is not too much - Juancheng is Cao Cao's base camp after all, and there are a lot of good goods. He rode the mount he had brought from Beihai under his crotch, and with the lance he had taken from Wei Yue in his hand, he led three thousand soldiers and horses to rush out of the city, and scattered in a formation on the left and right outside the moat.

Immediately, he swung his lance and shouted loudly to the opposite side: "A certain Donglai Tai Shi Ci, can Lu Bu dare to make the armies retreat and fight a certain life and death?!" ”

Shi Xun couldn't help but shudder when he heard this-I have to fight again, you are full of confidence after defeating Sun Ce! But on the other side, it's Lu Bu, it's Lu Bu, alas, the force value is more than one or two points higher than yours, Ziyi, why do you want to go up and find abuse yourself?!
