Night falls, and in the middle of the night, the earth seems to freeze to death. There is not a trace of wind in the cold air, but it can still make people unbearable, and it has become the only weapon of nature with murderous power. The cold air exerted this force on all kinds of plants, insects, and even small birds, so that the birds themselves fell from the branches to the snow-covered ground, and became as hard as ice under the same severe cold.

The newly built barracks were empty, and the barracks that could accommodate five thousand people had only one tent with a faint glow, and in that big tent, Gao Fei, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Zhao Yun sat around the bonfire, each holding a jar of wine in their hands, and after touching each other once, they each drank the spicy wine.

A few people just chatted a little, perhaps because they were not very familiar with each other, Gao Fei and Cao Cao both maintained a sense of vigilance, and did not openly confide in their hearts. Sun Jian is a straightforward person, there is nothing he dare not say, and many dissatisfaction are revealed in his words, for Dong Zhuo's arrogance, for Liu Biao's sanctimoniousness, for Zhou Shen's treachery, and for Huangfu Song's disobedience to his opinion, they all directly said this kind of complaint.

After Gao Fei listened to Sun Jian's complaints, he only felt that this Jiangdong Tiger didn't know how to hide himself, and he seemed to be interested in anyone who was good to him, and his body exuded a heroic aura everywhere. While listening to Sun Jian's words, he thought: "Sun Jian is worthy of being a Jiangdong Tiger, but he is a short-lived tiger, and this way of not hiding himself often hurts him." ”

Sun Jian drank a lot of wine, and drank while complaining, and drank it in just a few moments. After drinking, Sun Jian was still unsatisfied, and was about to ask for wine, so he immediately said to Gao Fei: "General Gao, is there still wine in the army?" ”

Cao Cao didn't say much, and when he heard that Sun Jian wanted to drink, he hurriedly grabbed the words and said: "General Sun, let's drink here today, if you drink like this, you will miss a big deal, besides, the rebels have often attacked the camp at night these days, if General Sun is drunk, then who will guard the village tonight?" I don't think it's getting early, so let's go back to England separately, right? ”

Gao Fei also hurriedly comforted: "General Sun, what General Cao said is very reasonable, if General Sun is still unsatisfied, when the rebellion in Liangzhou is quelled, I will personally feast General Sun, and let General Sun drink to his heart's content!" ”

Sun Jian nodded, slowly stood up, his face was ruddy, he arched his hand towards Gao Fei and Cao Cao, and said with a smile: "What the two generals said is reasonable, then I will leave." ”

Gao Fei and Cao Cao were just about to stand up, but when they saw that Sun Jian had already walked to the door of the tent, they turned to Gao Fei and Cao Cao and said, "The two generals stay and don't have to send each other!" ”

After Sun Jian left, Cao Cao also stood up and arched his hand: "Brother Ziyu, it's time for me to say goodbye." ”

Gao Fei said: "Brother Meng De stays for the time being, the younger brother has something unclear, and I want to ask for a question or two!" ”

"Brother Xian, please speak!"

"With Brother Meng De's talent, it should not be difficult to see the hidden dangers behind the siege, why didn't Brother Meng De raise an objection to Lord Huangfu?"

"Hehe, it turned out that it was just for this. Brother Ziyu, don't hide it, this strategy is my offering, you won't let me overthrow myself, right? ”

"Brother Mengde, you ......" Gao Fei was a little surprised, Cao Cao was an outstanding military strategist, why did his strategy have such a big loophole. He thought about it, Cao Cao was still a junior general in the Han army at this time, and there were few opportunities to really command the troops to fight, and the so-called military strategists were honed in the continuous war, so he smiled knowingly.

"People are not saints and sages, but I will suggest to General Huangfu to adopt General Sun's suggestion, but not now, now the rebels are in full swing, and there are tens of thousands of Qianghu rebels stationed in Jicheng, they are all brave and good warriors, only by using siege tactics to make them depressed, can they use General Sun's strategy."

Hearing Cao Cao's words again, Gao Fei felt that Cao Cao was not unaware of the hidden dangers, and the reason why Huangfu Song did not adopt Sun Jian's strategy should be that Cao Cao had dedicated a whole set of strategies at the beginning. He arched his hand and said: "It seems that Brother Meng De has planned this whole set of strategies early on, so General Huangfu did not react much when facing the strategy proposed by General Sun. Brother Meng De is worthy of being eloquent and strategic, which is really admirable. ”

Cao Cao just smiled faintly, arched his hand and said: "Brother Ziyu, it's not too early, I'll leave, Brother Ziyu doesn't have to send him off." ”

"Lord, Cao Cao is a person who is very deep in the city, and such a person should be secretly wary." Zhao Yun sent Cao Cao out of the camp with Gao Fei, and whispered to Gao Fei on the way back.

Gao Fei smiled, he naturally knew that Cao Cao was a person who was not easy to mess with, but he didn't plan to mess with him, but wanted to use him. Since he knew that Cao Cao was the future Wei Taizu, he would not let Cao Cao become Wei Taizu, no matter what Cao Cao would achieve in the future, he would turn Cao Cao into his most advantageous ally, and having such a person as an ally would definitely be worth ten people like Sun Jian.

"Well, the more he is not simple, the more worthy of my admiration and deep friendship."

Late at night, Gao Fei and Zhao Yun were still asleep in the camp, but they suddenly heard the sound of a boiling battle, and the sound of war drums and horns was mixed together, making a deafening sound, which surprised Gao Fei and Zhao Yun from their dreams.

"The rebels have attacked the camp!" Zhao Yun jumped up as soon as he turned over from the bed, then took out his saber and stepped out of the camp with one arrow step.

Goofy also rolled over, grabbed his sword, and walked out of the tent.

The night sky outside the tent was brightly lit, and in front of the camp where Gao Fei and Zhao Yun were located, in Dong Zhuo's barracks, soldiers of the Han army were sniping at the Qianghu rebels galloping from all directions with bows and crossbows. Looking along Dong Zhuo's military camp, the Han army camps around most of Jicheng were subjected to fierce attacks.

"Go up to the watchtower!" Gao Fei shouted from Zhao Yun beside him.

The two hurriedly came to the watchtower in front of the walled gate, climbed high and overlooked, overlooking the entire battlefield.

Gao Fei's camp was newly established, behind all the Han army camps, because there were no soldiers, there was no need to participate in the battle, not to mention that the generals of the various military camps would never let the rebels break through their defensive lines. There was a fire all around, but seeing the rebel cavalry driving out of Jicheng one after another, the knights on horseback either brandished the sabre in their hands, or opened their bows and arrows, and quickly rushed into the fence of the camp under the leadership of the war horses under the seat, and the antlers and horses on the periphery were also moved aside by the rebels and burned.

A steady stream of rebel soldiers emerged one after another, and the rebels with hideous faces tried to break through the defense line of the Han army camp, but because the Han army was tightly defended, the crossbowmen kept firing arrows, and a few rebel soldiers who rushed to the gate of the village did not play much role, but became the target of the public, and were shot into hedgehogs by the crossbowmen.

The long defensive line, the dense rain of arrows, and the coordination between infantry and cavalry, the rebels' half-hour breakthrough operation ended in failure again, leaving behind corpses full of arrows.

"My lord, although the rebels' offensive is fierce, this way of defending the village can indeed stop the rebels. If there is no such way of besieging the city, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the edge of the rebels. Zhao Yun saw that the rebels had retreated, so he said slowly.

After hearing this, Gao Fei nodded slightly, feeling that Cao Cao's strategy was still very useful, if the siege was lifted now, the rebels would not be defeated, and even if they pursued it, they would encounter stubborn resistance.

"Zilong, it seems that there is nothing for us to do now, let's go back to the camp, and when our troops arrive, we will have the confidence to speak."

Zhao Yun followed Gao Fei down the watchtower and continued to go back to the camp to sleep, but in his heart he was looking forward to the arrival of his army.

A day later, Lu Heng came to the outside of Jicheng with 1,400 Feiyu troops and 2,000 Han troops, brought the troops into Gao Fei's camp, and hung a big flag with the word "Gao" on the flagpole of the camp.

"The lord, according to the lord's orders, his subordinates left Pei Yuanshao and Xiahou Lan with four hundred people to garrison Shangqi, and Gai Changshi also stayed in Shangqi, ready to welcome the grain and grass that Huaxiong transported from Chencang." Lu Heng said to Gao Fei in the big tent.

After hearing this, Goofy asked, "Is Pound back?" ”

"Not yet, Pound hasn't heard anything since he left. But please rest assured, with Pound's martial arts, it will be easy to get out even if you encounter rebels. Lu Heng replied.

"Well, I don't know if Pound can find Jia Xu's whereabouts. I'm only worried that if Jia Xu falls into the hands of the rebels again, his life will be lost. ”

"Mr. Jia will definitely be auspicious, please don't worry. Now that our soldiers have arrived, the lord should take the initiative to ask General Huangfu for battle, otherwise we are always behind others, how can the lord get credit? In the past few days, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Zhou Shen, Bao Hong, Liu Biao, and Yuan Shu have all received bounties for blocking the rebels, and their subordinates have seen it in their eyes and felt pain in their hearts. Zhao Yun stood beside Gao Fei and said in a low voice.

Gao Fei said: "Don't worry, I have my own measure, now is not the time for us to attack, although all the departments have received bounties, but the soldiers are tired from the night battle for several days, and our army is now the time to recuperate." Lu Heng, you give the order to go down, let the whole army rest for a day, and start training on the mountain behind the camp from tomorrow. ”

Lu Heng immediately hugged his fists and said: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

In the next three days, the rebels no longer chose to act alone at night, but broke through day and night, in three days, the rebels made a total of 26 breakthroughs, and each breakthrough was more violent than the previous one, in the open space between Jicheng and the Han army camp, it became a blood-colored swamp, and the corpses of people and horses were countless.

100,000 Han troops to 100,000 rebels, this is an equal number, the rebels' breakthrough operations for a week ended in failure, thousands of people died every day, the casualties of the Han army and the rebels continued to rise, but in contrast, the Han army died at the cost of 20,000 infantry in exchange for the death of 50,000 cavalry of the rebels, in the final analysis, the Han army still took a considerable advantage.

The camp of the Han army was broken, so it cut wood from the nearby mountains to repair, and each time it was repaired, the camp became more solid, making it more difficult for the rebels to break through, and the rebels were short of food in the city, so that the horses under the seat were malnourished, and everyone was hungry, and when resisting hunger, the rebels in the city began to kill horses to satisfy hunger, and many cavalry became foot soldiers.

In three days, Hua Xiong, Pei Yuanshao, Xia Houlan and Gai Xun escorted grain and grass to Gao Fei's camp together, two thousand Feiyu troops were all together, Lu Heng replaced Pang De's position, Zhao Yun had taken over Fei An's troops, and Feiyu troops were trained in the nearby mountains under the leadership of Gao Fei. Gai Xun led another 2,000 Han troops, and was responsible for cleaning up the corpses on the battlefield for Gao Fei, as well as burying those who died in battle, whether they were Qiang Hu or Han Chinese, all buried in a large pit to prevent any epidemic.

On the eleventh day of the siege of the Han army, Huangfu Song ordered all the eight strong generals under his command to be called to the main account of the Chinese army.

In the big tent, the eight athletes lined up in two columns, Liu Biao, Zhou Shen, Bao Hong, Cao Cao on the left, Yuan Shu, Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian, Gao Fei on the right, Huangfu Song sat in the center, stroked his beard, and said softly: "I called all of you today, there is something important to order, we have besieged the city for ten days, and in ten days, the rebels are trying to break through, and now the rebels have run out of food and grass, and they have begun to kill horses to satisfy hunger, and it is time for us to attack." Which of you wants to take the lead? ”
