Fancheng.

A heavy snowfall turned the tide of the battle completely.

Originally, Cao Pi was in danger of occupying the city, and he was able to defend it calmly.

However, Liu Mang used catapults and threw ice cubes to siege the city.

Fortunately, the defenders of the city poured water on the cracks in the city wall, and it quickly froze under the cold to strengthen the city wall.

The Han army was attacking like a tide, and the catapults bombarded the city without eyes, and the Wei army was often smashed.

There were complaints in Fancheng for a while, but the trench dug by the Han army was in front of the city.

Once the Wei army takes the initiative to attack, it will first bathe in a rain of arrows from Zhuge repeaters.

Cao Pi understood at this time that all he could do was wait!

Wait for the ice and snow to melt and everything will recover!

Wait for the Han army to run out of food and take the initiative to retreat!

Cao Pi climbed the city tower many times to comfort the defenders, wanting to learn from Liu Bei to buy people's hearts.

can be true and false, the soldiers can still distinguish between sincerity and falsehood, and they don't recognize Cao Pi's acting skills.

"! I can only make steamed cakes with enthusiasm every day, when is such a day a head? ”

"Be content, there is still a bowl of hot water today!"

"Now that there is snow in the city, we will not be short of water!"

Soldiers, you say a word, everyone is a character who licks blood with a knife, but now they are trapped in Fancheng, but they feel desperate.

At least, with Cao Pi, they don't see the possibility of victory.

"Your Majesty, the reinforcements from Xiangyang are now confronting Zhao Yun."

Sima Yi frowned and said, "With Xiahou Shang's ability, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through Zhao Yun for a while!" ”

"Now that Zhao Yun has cavalry under his command, it is even more powerful!"

Cao Pi took a deep breath, but unfortunately he didn't bring elite tigers and leopards to ride this time!

Otherwise, Liu Mang must know what the first cavalry of the Central Plains is!

"Boren, as long as you don't let Zhao Yun continue to attack the city!"

"The grain and grass in the city will last until the beginning of spring next year, and it should not be a problem!"

"I don't believe it, he Liu Changqing can have so much grain and grass!"

Cao Pi would never have thought that Jiaozhou, the barren land he thought, had now become the safest and most stable rear of the Han army.

Xu Shu ran Jiaozhou and implemented the household contract responsibility system, which greatly increased the peasants' enthusiasm for production.

And Liu Mang's compulsory education has also taken the lead in piloting it in Jiaozhou.

Many school-age children have the opportunity to read and write, which is far ahead of the Central Plains.

Choosing the war of attrition of grain and grass, Cao Pi has already entered the trap set by Liu Mang!

Sima Yi thought about it again and again, and in his life, he was the only one who couldn't see two people clearly.

One is Zhuge Kongming, this person is so wise and close to demons, he can always play with it in the palm of his hand.

The other is Liu Mang!

This person's plan is simply unthinkable, and there is no trace of it!

Such an enemy is too terrible!

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks it's better for you to leave Fancheng as soon as possible!"

Sima Yi bowed down and said, "While we are breaking through the north gate now, we can still leave first!" ”

"Weichen always feels that Liu Mang's guy should be planning some conspiracy!"

Cao Pi frowned, but he still rejected Sima Yi's proposal.

"Emperor Wu is alive, try to go to the front line! How could I lose the face of Emperor Wu and his old man? ”

"There is no need to discuss this matter anymore, I have made up my mind, and I vow to live and die with Fancheng!"

From today onwards, Cao Pi speaks little, and rarely speaks in front of people.

Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Xu Huang and others repeatedly wanted to meet Cao Pi, but they were all refused.

……

Han army barracks.

Liu Mang ordered his subordinates at this time and played a new trick.

He was building a dam along the Han River to store water.

Although it is a simple water conservancy project, there is no need to think too much, but the soldiers are still quite puzzled.

"Shizi, in the beginning of spring, there will be no heavy rain, do you want to attack Fancheng with water, are you too anxious?"

Tai Shici stepped forward to ask, and now Gan Ning has become the main force in building the dam.

Zhao Yun had to confront Xiahou Shang and protect Liu Mang, and the task fell on the shoulders of him and his son Tai Shiheng.

"Uncle Ziyi, you can't talk about this matter."

Liu Mang deliberately sold a pass, and it was the allusion of the second uncle Guan Yu who flooded the Seventh Army that made him suddenly realize.

If you want to break the turtle shell of Fancheng, you still need to come up with a trick!

It's just that the army has a lot of eyes, and he doesn't dare to divulge this matter.

In addition, the daily siege of the city with catapults made Cao's army miserable.

Don't look at the lively fighting between the two sides now, in fact, there has been little progress in attacking Fancheng.

In particular, Liu Mang threw the ice cubes in the city, which became Cao Jun's drinking water.

Tai Shici once reminded him of this, but Liu Mang felt harmless.

Originally, it snowed heavily, and the Wei army would not lack water sources, so it was better to throw more ice cubes, which made the defenders in the city panic.

In particular, Liu Mang spread rumors that Cao Pi was besieged, which caused Xiahou Shang to quickly lead troops to help.

Zhao Yun had already led three thousand generals to go, and once the two sides fought, Xiahou Shang complained bitterly!

What about the good cavalry that says it won't work in the snow?

As a result, under the training of Zhao Yun, the three thousand generals quickly mastered the essence of the snow combat of the White Horse Yicong!

Treading the snow without a trace, the white horse rides and shoots!

A rain of arrows made the bloated Cao Jun even more miserable.

This also allowed Liu Mang's plan to build the dam to proceed smoothly.

"Shizi! You're here! When will we be able to fight? ”

"Lao Tzu repairs the dam every day, and the brothers are itching to follow it!"

Gan Ning came to meet Liu Mang, and everyone talked and laughed.

"Xingba, while building the dam, you have other tasks."

Liu Mang stepped forward to teach the opportunity, but Gan Ning frowned when he heard this.

"Shizi, can this really work?"

"Why do I always think it's a fantasy?"

Although Gan Ning was puzzled, he always believed Liu Mang's words.

"If Yun Chang and Yide are here in this battle, maybe our army will not be so difficult."

Recalling Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Tai Shici felt quite regretful.

I don't know why Liu Mang transferred the two, but he didn't let them participate in the battle in Fancheng.

"Uncle Ziyi, since the beginning of the economic war, our enemies are not only Cao Wei, but also Eastern Wu!"

"Jiangdong Sun Quan, it is not once or twice that the sneak attack behind the back, it is not easy for the Sun-Liu Alliance to maintain the surface brothers for many years."

"Unless there is a major change on one side, this alliance cannot last long."

Tai Shici nodded, he knew that what Liu Mang said was the truth.

No one likes to watch their allies grow bigger and stay stagnant.

"Shizi, do you mean that Wu Hou will cooperate with Cao Pi this time?"

"But Cao Pi has usurped the Han Dynasty and established himself, if Sun Quan unites with him, won't he become a traitor to the Han family?"

Tai Shi Ci frowned and said nothing, he still retained a trace of fantasy about Sun Quan in his heart.

"Don't worry, Sun Quan has no face and no skin, and he will definitely agree."

"There are some accounts that need to be calculated by the parties themselves."

"He Lu Meng likes to cross the river in white, so I will let the second uncle and the third uncle wait for work!"

Liu Mang looked up in the direction of Fancheng: "I flood the Seventh Army on behalf of the second uncle, and the second uncle liquidates Lu Meng by himself, hurry up!" ”
