Liu Xun is really so selfless, everything is for the Yuan dynasty?

Of course not, one of the reasons why he asked to do this as soon as possible was for his own face, and also for his own future. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

No one, even a beggar, would not want to be bullied to the head, let alone Liu Xun, a person who attaches great importance to face. Liu Feng led the army and was not in the city for two months, how could he not have resentment, if he could endure this breath, he would not have used the city protection array so easily.

The request to defeat the Jiangdong Army as soon as possible is to show his ability and regain his face.

In his opinion, the Jiangdong Army is a rabble, not his opponent at all, and the reason why he agreed to wait for work and stick to the city to wait for the enemy to be tired is because he doesn't want to have too many losses, otherwise, even if he defeats the Jiangdong Army, he will not be able to help other battlefields.

This is his second purpose, for his own future.

In Liu Xun's opinion, his ability and qualifications are no worse than Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui and others, and even beyond these people, and he is a little worse than Yuan Shu's number one general, Ji Ling, the reason why his status is not as good as the previous people is because he has been far away from Yuan Shu, so that Yuan Shu has not seen his own ability and ignored himself. If he can take the lead in dealing with the Jiangdong Army, and then help other battlefields win with the power of victory, then who can ignore his existence? If he leads a large army to help others achieve victory, he will naturally prove that he is superior to those people, so that when the war is over, or not until the war is over, he can be promoted directly. The third prince may be unlikely, but the position of Jiuqing can be expected.

Therefore, Liu Xun couldn't wait to defeat the Jiangdong army.

But alas, reality will not develop according to his expectations.

After formulating an attack strategy, the next day the army began to focus on the eastern city wall, and only a few catapults continued to attack in the southern city to lure the enemy in the city. Although the catapult troops led by Liu Ye were very accurate, they could not find the specific location of the catapults, and the covering blows alone could not cause much damage to those hidden catapults, so that Liu Fengjun's losses were greatly reduced.

Liu Xun naturally found the problem, so he sent Liu Ye to Dongcheng to command the catapults in Dongcheng. However, Liu Fengjun started a guerrilla attack, and after suffering a wave of heavy losses, he immediately retracted and notified Nancheng to strengthen the attack.

Day by day, Liu Feng's small catapult still maintained a loss of about fifty per day. Five days later, Liu Xun received a report from Cang Cao Peng that the stone reserves in the city were insufficient, and a month ago, he had already collected hard objects that could be used for throwing all over the city. Until now, it is really impossible to collect materials, so I have to report to Liu Xun. Liu Xun is not a good boss, and the reason why he didn't report it before was, of course, because he was afraid that Liu Xun would be angry, and he just wanted to hold on and defeat the army outside the city. But the reality made this Cang Cao Peng very disappointed.

Liu Xun was naturally furious, and directly dismissed Cang Cao Peng, replaced him with Cang Cao Peng, and ordered him to collect supplies as soon as possible. But hundreds of catapults were constantly being thrown outward, and they had long since exhausted the supplies available in the city, which could still be found there. Even if there were stones that fell into the city, most of them fell on the city walls, and even if there were, there were not many of them.

In the end, Liu Xun ordered the demolition of the houses for armament. He did not appease the inhabitants of the city, promising to rebuild after the war, so that the inhabitants of the city would dare not speak out.

This is also a common problem of Yuan Shu's subordinate martial arts, they ignore the needs of the overwhelming majority of the people, and of course they do not get the support of the people.

Even Liu Xun wanted to send troops out of the city to quarry, but with Liu Feng's 100,000 cavalry to deter, this plan simply did not work, and Liu Xun decisively abandoned this unrealistic idea after losing thousands of people.

In another five days, Liu Feng's catapult had already lost most of it, and only more than 300 were left. But these days, Liu Fengjun has caused a lot of damage to the city wall of Shu County, and it is too late to urgently repair it. Because of the lack of materials in the city, it is no longer possible to suppress Tushan.

……

"We can't go on like this, we have to take the initiative." In the Taishou Mansion, Liu Xun looked at the group of subordinates who gathered him to discuss the matter, "There are fewer and fewer houses in the city, but the number of catapults thrown by the enemy has not decreased, we can't drag it out any longer, otherwise, the enemy will become the climate, and we will be passive." Liu Xun looked very anxious.

"Your Excellency, can we ask Your Majesty for help?" Someone suggested.

"No need to do this, we have more than three million troops, we have been recuperating for a long time, the other side is less than four million people, after such a long period of suppression, a group of rabble, it would be good if it did not break up, and it would really be able to block our attack!" Liu Xun directly rejected this suggestion.

Just kidding, if he really asked Yuan Shu for help, how could he still show his ability.

"However, the prince of the palace leads people, the gap between us and the enemy is not big, even if we win, it will be difficult to support other battlefields." Liu Xun's subordinates knew his thoughts very well.

"It's okay, let's win the war first, maybe when the time comes, we won't have to worry about the source of troops, with Jiangdong's prisoners, it will be enough for us to expand our army." Liu Xun said that he did not take Liu Feng's army in his eyes, even if Liu Feng relied on his own army to take the four counties of Jiangdong, even if some of these people had fought on the battlefield in Xuzhou.

"It's not stupid, if you wait for the Jiangdong Army to suppress the city, then the morale will plummet, and you won't even have a chance to fight." Listening to Liu Xun's decision, Lu Fan nodded secretly and approved of Liu Xun's approach. But he didn't expect that Liu Xun didn't see this, but really wanted to end the war as soon as possible.

"But if you are so proud and don't look at Jiangdongjun in your eyes, Liu Xun is afraid that he will suffer a big loss." As the so-called fame is indispensable, since the Jiangdong Army has a great reputation, even if its combat effectiveness is not comparable to its own, it should also pay attention to it. What's more, he had personally seen the battle of the Jiangdong Naval Army, although it was a little rusty like his own naval army, but the resilience of the battle was still very strong. Liu Xun despised the enemy so much, which made Lu Fan feel bad.

"But what does this have to do with me?" He laughed at himself in his heart, "Anyway, I'm an insignificant little person, even if the city is broken, I can't go out when I go home." ”

Just do it when you think of it, Liu Xun didn't procrastinate, and made a special trip to prepare for a day the next day, and after dawn on the third day, he went out from Xicheng to prepare for a decisive battle with Liu Feng.
