After Lu Bu said that, he walked out of Hu Zhen and Hua Xiong's handsome tent with his head held high, very embarrassed.

Losers don't lose battles, they are all colleagues, Lu Bu can't beat them, but the feeling of enjoying his mouth is also quite refreshing.

Looking at Lu Bu's generous back, Hua Xiong stood up suddenly, his hand unconsciously pressed on his sword, his face showed anger, and he had the intention of rushing over to compete with Lu Bu.

Seeing this, Hu Zhen hurriedly reached out and grabbed Hua Xiong's palm, shaking his head at him.

Hua Xiong sat down at Hu Zhen's motion.

When he was young, after Lu Bu walked away, he saw Hua Xiong gritting his teeth at Hu Zhen and said, "Du Hu, this fang is too arrogant! It's just a rebellious person who defected from Zhang Yi's command, how dare he be so arrogant?"

Hu Zhen said coldly: "Lu Bu is a person whose eyes are above the top, who is self-righteous and brave, and has never taken my Liangzhou Zhujie in his eyes, and sooner or later he will let him know that I am so powerful."

Hua Xiong said angrily: "Martial arts are outstanding!? Hmph, but I don't believe it! Has he compared to someone Hua?"

Hu Zhen smiled and said, "Huadu's bravery, who of us in Liangzhou doesn't admire? But now that the war is imminent, Lu Bu Pivul, Hua Du Mo wants to be with him in general, after we break Liu Jian and make great contributions, he will turn back to Xiangguo to show his merits, he will naturally be ashamed! Ho Lau Hua Du took matters into his own hands against him?"

Hua Xiong said, "That's true! Du Hu, the last general invited himself to Yangxia to face the enemy, and he must capture Liu Jian alive and Liu Pet alive!"

Hu Zhen praised: "Huadu is extremely brave and good at driving cavalry formations, which I know very well, but when it comes to siege the city, the elite cavalry we are waiting for can only look at the city and sigh that Niu Fu is defeated here, so we still need to find some help."

Hua Xiong said, "Isn't there any good way to listen to this?"

Hu Zhen stood up with a smile and said, "The art of siege, one relies on the soldiers to dare to climb first, and the other relies on the sharp weapon of the siege!" My Xiliang is rich in war horses, but there are few sharp tools, but that doesn't mean that the division doesn't have them!"

"With Luoyang City as the center, the best quality siege weapons of the Han Dynasty over the years, including strong crossbows, ladders, rushing cars, stone throwers and other things, are all in the arsenals of various counties in Sili, Xiangguo conquered Nanyang, took away a part, but there are still many existing in the city, I, as the protector of the capital, requisitioned and transferred some elite siege weapons to come here, is it not too much?"

As soon as these words came out, Hua Xiong's spirit suddenly lifted.

"It turns out that most of the protectors have a plan?"

Hu Zhen laughed proudly: "As the protector of the capital, I naturally have to strategize and make decisions to win!"

"When did the Dadu Protector come here with siege ordnance from Si Li?"

Hu Zhen said: "I have already gone to transfer, and it won't be long before this first batch of ordnance will arrive at the front, and when the time comes, General Annoyor will be the vanguard and command the soldiers and horses to capture Yangxia!"

"As long as Yangxia is broken, so that Liu Jian and Liu Pet have no city to follow, with our Xiliang cavalry stepping on horses, we can also trample their soldiers into powder!"

Hearing Hu Zhen say this, Hua Xiong suddenly realized.

"It turns out that Hu Duhu has already thought about this! The last general is really admired! Don't worry, the last general will live up to Duhu's high expectations, we don't need Lu Bu, we can also defeat Yangxia and eliminate Erliu!"

In the city of Yangxia County, Liu Jian stood with the head of the city with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang and others, looking at Chen ***, who was carrying city defense materials to the city, and was quite emotional.

Since the battle to Yangxia and Liu Pet to reconcile, Liu Jian found that this Yangxia County was built by Liu Pet quite strongly, and the grain in the city is also very rich.

Under normal circumstances, it may be okay to stick to it.

However, Liu Jian secretly found out that Hu Zhen secretly transferred a large number of siege equipment from the territory of Sili, including rushing cars, throwing stones, ladders and other things.

As the central territory of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the military equipment hoarded by Si Li was the most in the entire Han Dynasty, and it was also the best, which was the innate advantage inherited by Dong Zhuo after entering the imperial court.

Although Yangxia County has been built a lot by Liu Pet in the past few months, the foundation of this county is too thin after all

The county is only a small county town in the northwest of the border of Chen State, and even if it is reinforced, its upper limit is limited.

If it is simply to resist the attack of the Xiliang soldiers, it may not be difficult, but once the current Xiliang soldiers are equipped with the elite equipment of the division, it may not be so easy to completely block the enemy army from the county with Yangxia.

Liu Jian and his subordinates looked at it for a long time, and then Liu Jian turned his head and asked a few people, "With this city outline, can you block the Xiliang army?"

Guan Yu said: "I heard that the Xiliang army has come to 50,000 people this time, once it is equipped with Si Li's siege weapon, with Yangxia County, although it can hold on for a while, I am afraid it will not last long, and I need to think of another way."

Liu Jian looked at Zhang He and asked, "Jun Yi, you fought against the Niu Fu army in Yanjin before, and when it comes to commanding soldiers and horses to defend the city, there is no one here who has more experience than you, can you tell me, may this city block the Xiliang army?"

Zhang He arched his hand and said, "If King Chen's soldiers and horses and the envoy's soldiers and horses are all unified by me, they may be able to defend."

Hearing this, Liu Jian raised his eyebrows: "The problem is that it is impossible for my soldiers and horses to belong to the same family as King Chen's soldiers and horses.

Zhang He sighed and said, "In this way, it is difficult."

Zhao Yun said: "Envoy, we had 30,000 troops in the past, but when we fought with Niu Fu, although we won a big victory, we also lost a lot of men and horses, and many soldiers were wounded, and now there are only 25,000 soldiers who can go into battle, and the so-called 100,000 people of King Chen, in fact, are not more than 10,000, once there is no city outline to rely on, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop the charge of Xiliang Iron Cavalry!"

Liu Jian nodded and said, "I know this...... What do you think?"

Fu Zhu didn't say much, but said, "Envoy, as the so-called guest is at the mercy of the master, since we have come here to rely on King Chen, we might as well listen to his opinion."

Liu Jian smiled and said, "I also have this intention, let's go, let's go see King Chen!"

Chen Wang Liu Pet is quite old, he is more than half a hundred years old, not much younger than Dong Zhuo.

However, this person has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is longer than a bow horse, so he does not look very old, although his hair is quite gray, but he is full of energy, and he looks like a person in his forties.

Liu Pet has no son...... Or to be more precise, he did not have a son who could inherit the feudal state.

In the Han Dynasty, the management of the princes and kings was very strict, in order to be able to control the vassal states in various places, and at the same time weaken the power of the vassal states as much as possible, so the heirs of the vassal kings have a very strict examination.

The original partners of the princes and kings are basically people with extremely strong maternal power, and most of their wives are matched by the center of Luoyang, and marriage is one of the means for the Han court to attract the wang clans from all over the world, and the unmarried men and women of the Luoyang royal family are really limited, and it is impossible to match the important interests of all parties.

Therefore, some princes and kings who have not yet inherited the kingdom have become tools used by the emperor to refer to their relatives.

The emperor himself was the wife of the matchmaker, and the princes and kings naturally could not divorce their wives easily, and they could not divorce their wives.

But once the original partner can't have children, or can't give birth to a son, then even if the concubines of the princes and kings have many concubines, these concubines can't be established because of their mothers, and they will never be able to be concubines, so there is no way to continue to pass on the feudal country.

By adoptive? That's fine, but the inheritance of the feudal state is not allowed.

This is one of the major reasons why the central court of Luoyang has been able to eliminate the country in the local area all these years.

It can be said that from marriage to son, all aspects of the princes and kings were calculated by the emperor and the imperial court.

Therefore, after many princes and kings have no sons in law to inherit the throne, they simply choose to lie down, take advantage of the fact that they are still alive, and accumulate more family funds by collecting rent in the feudal country, and strive to leave more wealth for future generations after their death, so that they can live as much as possible without the feudal country.

Before Liu Jian advised Liu Hong to open the palace to the princes and kings, the life of the princes and kings of the Eastern Han Dynasty was really difficult

Finish.

This is also the case with Liu Pet.

He did not have a suitable concubine to inherit the state of Chen, so when he died, the state of Chen would be expelled from the country.

It stands to reason that Liu Chong, whose future is already doomed, should have been lying flat, but he just didn't.

He didn't collect rent to save money, but recruited troops and horses, and became more and more nervous.

A little broken jar and broken, enjoy the last madness of this life.

"The King!"

"Deran!"

Liu Pet and Liu Jian met in the main hall of Yangxia, Liu Jian was a generation lower than Liu Pet, and he should call himself a nephew.

"King, my spies have reported that Hu Zhen has mobilized a lot of siege equipment from Si Li, and is about to come to attack Yangxia, and he is very grateful to be taken in by the king and settled in the city.

Liu Pet is tall, half a head taller than Liu Jian, he is wearing armor, his face is upright, and he is very heroic.

He frowned tightly and said, "Hu Zhen's army is strong, the widow's subordinates have also heard it, and the widow and Luo Xiang have discussed, if you and I stick to the city, sooner or later we will be attacked by Hu Zhen, once Yangxia is broken, you and I are in danger of life...... Therefore, the widow thinks day and night, and comes up with a way, which is no match for Hu Zhen!"

Hearing this, Liu Jian hurriedly said, "What is the king's opinion?"

Liu Pet stretched out his hand and took Liu Jian's hand, and said very kindly: "De Ran is the most good use of soldiers among the clansmen, in the past, he had broken Xianbei, the yellow scarf, the prestige was great, and there were many fierce generals under his hands, the widow wanted to ask De Ran to lead a group of soldiers and horses, quietly out of the city, secretly ambushed on the side of Yangxia, and when the other army attacked the city with all its might, De Ran can lead this army of soldiers and horses as a surprise attack, and take advantage of the enemy's main force to be contained in Yangxia, you can capture the thief and capture the king, suddenly raid, and take down the opponent's main general in one fell swoop, so the Xiliang army can be broken overnight, I don't know what Deran means?"

Looking at Liu Chong's righteous face, Liu Jian suddenly slapped his head.

"The King is a visionary...... Indeed, if the other army is far away, if we all defend and die in the city, once the city is broken, we will be completely destroyed, and the city and the outside of the city will form a corner of the momentum, so that the enemy will not be able to take care of the enemy, this is the best way to fight, right?"

Liu Chong's face showed a look of satisfaction: "De Ran is really a person who is good at using soldiers, we are really heroes who see the same thing, and the widow and De Ran are in harmony!" De Ran, did you agree?"

Liu Jian smiled, "Hmm...... Let me think, my lord, how to steal out of the city, and where to hide and ambush in secret, in order to achieve the best effect! How?"

"Good, good! It's about the people of Yangxia City, and it's about the life and death of your and my armies, Deran still needs to think about it as early as possible, don't delay it too much!"

"What the king said is very true, I will plan it as soon as possible!"
