In the city, a second-entry mansion, Jia Xu, who was slightly bloated and wearing a plain robe, was examining the letter in his hand with a pair of gloomy eyes.

After a long time, he slowly put down the silk cloth and sneered, "The good fortune of riding a horse and sitting in a sedan chair is the result of the heavy life of the cart." No matter how fate comes, you can't escape or escape after all.

Who would have thought that the martial artists under Dong Zhuo in the past, Lu Fengxian, who was scolded by the princes, would set foot on two states and have seven counties today. ”

It is said that fifty knows the destiny of heaven, and as he grows older, Jia Xu becomes more and more convinced that fate makes it extremely futile for people to try to change their lives against the sky.

Whether it is Cao Cao or Liu Bei, they may all think that Lu Bu has found a good son-in-law and let him survive.

But in Jia Xu's opinion, this is the dignitary that his Lu family should have.

Today, it is already stronger than Dong Zhuo, who was once incomparable.

He stood up from the couch, then walked to the windowsill, looked at the willow leaves fluttering in the wind outside the window and fell into thought, "Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, this game of chess is a little worse than Cao Mengde." ”

Liu Biao is just a vain name, in Jingzhou has been set aside by the four major families, and the city is not a place where you can stay for a long time, and you can't be a watchdog for a lifetime.

Judging from the situation, Jia Xu is already biased towards Cao Cao, but the humiliation of Wancheng is not long after, and he thinks that he will wait for Zhang Xiu to eat deflated in Jingzhou and then give him advice to join Cao, and he can be regarded as having completed the transformation of his identity.

Now it seems that he may have to think about it differently.

Yu Private, he still has some friendship with Lu Bu, and he also knows Cao Cao, but the friendship is obviously not as good as Lu Bu's.

Yu Gong, when you go to Cao Ying, you have to wear the hat of a subordinate on your head and go to Lu Ying. He invited me to go, and the difference is not small.

The two families are about to fight, and they can smell wolf smoke for more than 800 miles.

But even if Lu Bu is really defeated, he will not be martyred after all.

"Sir, sir!"

A sergeant ran in and said, "My lord, please come to the schoolyard!" ”

"Got it." After Jia Xu waved his hand, he put the silk cloth under his clothes.

Jiafu is not far from the general's mansion where Zhang Xiu lives, just across the street, but you have to ride a horse faster to get to the school.

When they arrived at the school grounds, the soldiers were carrying bags of grain into the camp from the wagons.

"General, it seems that Liu Biao doesn't want to drag on this season's grain and grass, and the amount seems to be quite a lot." After dismounting, Jia Xu walked to Zhang Xiu's side.

"What Lu Bu sent, it's 30,000 stones. He wrote to me, saying that he remembered his old friendship, and could not bear to be cold-eyed under the fence by my senders, so he sent these grains and grass, and if he wanted, he could also go to Xuzhou to conspire with him. ”

Zhang Xiu sighed lightly and said with some shame: "When I was in Luoyang, I really shouldn't have deceived him as an enemy general." ”

Guanzhong has been in the wolf smoke for many years, the people's livelihood has withered, and the poor brothers are almost unable to open the pot, otherwise they would not have come to Jingzhou to plunder.

The grain and grass that Liu Biao sent back was only 5,000 stones, which was enough for the brothers to spend in one season.

At this time, the 30,000 stones of grain and grass sent by Lu Bu were like charcoal in the snow for Zhang Xiu, and it was difficult not to be grateful.

Jia Xu squinted his eyes and twisted his white beard, and both sides started at the same time, it seems that Lu Bu is really prepared and ambitious.

"What does the general think?" Jia Xu took the initiative to uncover the topic.

"Although there was some gap with him in the past, now he takes the initiative to send food, obviously wanting to release his old suspicions."

A look of appreciation appeared on Zhang Xiu's face, and then his eyes sank, "And he is right, he and I both have a common mortal enemy, that is, Cao Cao, if we don't join hands, sooner or later we will be swallowed up by Cao Cao." ”

After speaking, he looked at Jia Xu, obviously asking for advice.

Jia Xu put his hands in front of him, and did not answer immediately, he thought for a long time before he breathed a long sigh of relief, nodded and said: "What the general said is reasonable, in Jingzhou Liu Biao is not even willing to allocate grain and grass, if Cao Jun comes to attack, we will be the first to bear the brunt, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, it is wise to break away early." ”

I didn't say anything, it's a fact that life is not good here in Jingzhou, as for whether to go or not, you can make up your own mind, I don't object to it.

Zhang Xiu thought about it carefully, Jingzhou is really not worth staying, go find Lu Bu, there are only seven or eight thousand people left under me, and he doesn't look down on me, and he is commensurate with his brother, much stronger than Liu Biao.

Regardless of the mind, there is no fake in the 30,000 stone grain and grass.

With such a mind and pattern, it will not be wrong to end up with the same end.

"Let's go Geyang and Anfeng, I heard that Yuan Shu has been indulging in vocal music, arrogance and lasciviousness, and there have been several mutinies among his subordinates, and he is too busy to take care of himself, so we shouldn't be troubled by borrowing from there."

"Very good, very good." Jia Xu still folded his hands and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then reply to the letter, and choose a day to the east." Zhang Xiu was in a good mood, he didn't want to look at people's faces here for a long time, and when he went to Xuzhou, even if he wanted to serve Lu Bu as the master, this guy would not humiliate himself like Cao Cao.

And the brothers don't have to go hungry anymore.

No matter how you calculate it, this deal is not a loss.

In Guangling City, Sun Ce took Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Tai Shici and others, but they didn't close their eyes all night, and stayed with the soldiers in the school field.

Help to bandage the wounded, comfort the palpitations, encourage the trembling and trembling, in short, let the soldiers stabilize the morale of the army.

At the same time, Zhou Yu summoned the sergeants who were going to defend the city tomorrow to do pre-battle mobilization.

"The thunderbolt is indeed powerful, but it is far from the point where it can destroy the defense of Guangling, and when they throw boulders, we can hide behind the city, that is, tung oil will be more troublesome.

But tung oil is not a stone that can be taken everywhere, and if you attack like today, the tung oil in the thief army will definitely not last for two days. ”

In this era, tung oil as an important material for both military and civilian use, but the output is not so high that it can be bought everywhere, plus these years of war, the procurement of all parties is more tight, even if Lu Bu is prepared, it can not withstand the eight thunderbolt cars so made.

After hearing this, the soldiers all felt that it made sense, and they suddenly didn't panic so much in their hearts.

"There is one more thing, I don't want to reveal it, but I think about it, they are all brothers who share the same fate, it doesn't hurt to talk about it, the front-line military report, Cao Cao is already deploying troops and preparing grain and grass, and he will soon use troops in Pengcheng, and then Lu Bu will die and have no place to be buried."

Sometimes, in order to appease the sergeants and boost morale, it is quite normal to lie.

Not very ethical, but you have to admit, it works.

As soon as the soldiers heard that Cao Cao was going to backstab Lu Bu, their hearts, which had originally settled a little from the fear of war, directly became excited.

It's a good thing, as long as Cao Jun arrives, Lu Bu will definitely come back to help, and even if he doesn't chase and kill at that time, the credit of defending the city can be exchanged for some money.

Zhou Yu let out a long breath, a lie was naturally a lie, but he believed that as long as they held out until Lu Bu's army ran out of tung oil, they would not be able to do anything but scold and scold under the city pass.

Storm?

Not to mention the four-zhang high city wall of Guangling City, the moat at the gate is not a decoration.

When the sky was white, Lu Bu began to set off with his people, and today's morale was obviously higher than yesterday, and many of the sergeants who stayed in the camp wanted to see the divine power of the thunderbolt.

The soldiers also seemed to be willing to believe that they could attack Guangling City with eight thunderbolts.

After resting all night, Lin Mo's state has recovered a lot, and he is ready to continue to overcome his psychological limits.

When they came to the front line, the soldiers had already pushed the thunderbolt carts under the city pass.

The old rule, the herald ran to the city pass with the banner and shouted first, and after half an hour, if you don't open the city, you will be beaten.

It's still the same old routine yesterday, first greet with a boulder.

However, today, the defenders on the city pass were obviously on guard, and when they saw the thunderbolt loaded into the boulder, they immediately leaned under the city wall, and even the soldiers and war drums were placed on the inside to ensure that they were not so easily smashed.

Seven or eight rounds of boulders flew up, but they also smashed the edges of some castles out of the gaps, and rolled up a lot of dust, but other than that, there was not much gain.

"With tung oil, burn with tung oil!" Lu Bu shouted impatiently.

Then, the road of tung oil fire began.

This method is really effective, as long as it is thrown into the tung oil altar of the city pass, once it bursts, you can always hear the heart-rending scream, and from time to time you can see someone jumping off the city pass.

However, the other side seems to have a way to deal with it, once it is splashed with oil, the surrounding defenders will cover the prepared sand and soil on the person on fire, as long as they can hold back and not move, they will soon be extinguished because the air is isolated.

Of course, serious injuries are inevitable.

In this era when medical conditions are not up to standard, there is no concept of sterility, and people who are burned and whose skin and flesh are open will be infected if they do not die on the spot.

The minor burns are fine, and there is a chance to save a life.

In any case, the use of sand to extinguish the fire finally seemed to have a countermeasure, and the soldiers would not be as panicked as they were on the first day.

Not long after, the thunderbolt that originally threw the tung oil jar was changed to a boulder.

"What's the matter, use tung oil!" Lu Bu yelled.

"Wen Hou, this. Tung oil is limited, there is not much left, and we have to save some use. ”

Liu Ye swallowed his saliva a little embarrassed, and then raised his eyebrows and said, "But don't worry, Wen Hou, there is still a back hand below." ”

Then, Liu Ye's back hand let Lu Bu have a black line.

I saw that the thunderbolt threw eight jars again, and this time after smashing them open on the city gate, they did not cause tongues of fire, but splashed sticky things everywhere.

A soldier who was splashed all over grabbed a handful and sniffed it, and suddenly looked pained.

"What is it?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it's the golden juice."

"Fuck, these bastards!"

Even Cheng Pu, who was supervising the battle on the side, was splashed half of his body, and he scolded angrily.

It doesn't hurt much, but it's extremely insulting.

Lu Lingqi shook her head and looked at Lin Mo, "You're right, it seems that this thunderbolt is not as powerful as I thought." ”

Lin Mo sneered and sighed: "I hope I guessed wrong, but the Jiangdong soldiers on the other side are extremely resilient, and the thunderbolt can scare them for a while, but it is impossible to make them surrender because of this." ”

Liu Ye didn't seem to go into the deep study, and he was happy to shout and let people continue to throw gold juice up, Lu Bu felt that this approach was really a bit unacceptable, so he reluctantly turned the horse's head and walked away.

This descendant of the Han queen is also a bit shameless when he does things.

In the afternoon, even the gold juice ran out, and Liu Ye sent people to collect stones, and he couldn't do nothing when he came anyway.

When I came back, I also brought a few hornet's nests wrapped in cloth.

When the hornet's nest was thrown to the castle, there was a scream, which caused everyone to laugh mockingly.

The golden juice is insulting at most, but hornets can really kill, but unfortunately there are only three of them, but it has already caused a riot in the city.

When the army retreated at dusk, the defenders on the city pass were all bruised and swollen.

"It's not a way to go on like this, they can't hold on, and the tung oil is used up again, how can it be good?" In the Chinese military tent, Lu Bu paced back and forth, and his anxious mood jumped on his face.

When I came, I thought that I would rely on a thunderbolt to penetrate the defense of Guangling City, so there were not many people brought, and it was useless to attack it.

It's not a way to drag it out like this after all, I can't afford to spend so many people's food and grass, in case Sun Ce is like Ji Ling, if he doesn't come out for half a year, it is impossible for him to wait here for half a year.

"Why don't you let the last general lead troops to challenge again, and try to lure out Sun Ce!" Xu Sheng was in a hurry to make meritorious service but didn't know what he could do, and he had the taste of rushing to the doctor in a hurry.

Lu Bu glanced at him and ignored him.

If they were willing to come out, they would have come out a long time ago, so why wait until today.

Liu Ye also realized the seriousness of the matter, and put away the laughter during the day and thought seriously.

After a while, he contemplated and said: "For today's plan, we can only find a city wall that is more seriously damaged, and concentrate eight thunderbolts to smash it, or it can smash out the vacancy, so that the army can enter and exit freely." ”

Hearing this, Lu Bu stopped pacing, lowered his head and thought about it, feeling that this method was also worth trying.

Although the walls of Guangling City are piled with blue bricks on the surface of rammed earth, there will always be weak points in the wind and rain for so many years.

"What did Yunwen say?" When it came to a critical moment, Lu Bu would always subconsciously look at Lin Mo.

Even if everyone is out of ideas, he believes that his son-in-law will show the way out.

"Ziyang's method can be tried, but it really doesn't work, I will try to lure out Sun Ce, as long as there is success all the way, Guangling can go down."

Lu Bu was slightly stunned, and then sighed a little disappointed: "They don't want to leave the city with such a thunderbolt attack, and I want to lure them out, but I'm afraid it's impossible." ”

"Then it depends on how to lead it." Lin Mo smiled calmly.

"You've got a plan?" Lu Bu's sword eyebrows were raised, and he thought that what he said just now was a helpless emotion, but it turned out that he had a target, "Come on, how to lure the enemy!" ”

Lu Bu was excited, and Gao Shun, Xu Sheng and others also looked at Lin Mo with anticipation.

If you can get them out, you won't give them a chance to go back.

Liu Ye stared at Lin Mo with his head slightly sideways, he didn't think of any way to fish out the people in the city.

The methods used to lure the enemy out of the city are generally similar, such as deliberately exposing flaws, pretending to be reinforcements, or using grain and grass as a guide, but these are estimated to have little effect.

"This matter has been deployed yesterday, just wait for Zhenrong to arrive from Haixi, Sun Ce should be unable to help but go out of the city."

After Lin Mo finished speaking, the corners of Lu Bu's eyes twitched twice, and it was Rong again. It's a disgusting name.

"The stakes are big, don't sell Guanzi, how can Zhenrong have such great ability, what do you want to do?"

Seeing that Lu Bu was a little impatient, Lin Mo didn't hide it, and immediately made plans and plans.

After listening to Lin Mo's deployment, everyone was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing.

After Lu Bugan laughed twice, he licked the corners of his mouth, "Okay, Yunwen, when it comes to calculating people's hearts, it has to be you." As long as he, Sun Ce, dares to go out of the city, he will be allowed to reunite with Sun Jian! ”

Sure enough, you have to take my son-in-law with you wherever you go, and you are about to reach a stalemate, and in an instant you can take advantage of our shortcomings to seduce Sun Ce in turn.

Thinking about it seriously, it seems that apart from this method, there is really no means to break the city.

Alas, although Ziyang's thunderbolt is extremely powerful, it is still Yunwen who has to carry this burden after all.

"Wonderful! Yunwen's plan does not lose the method of flooding the Lujiang River that day, and the bottom of the kettle is a good means and a good calculation.

What is even more commendable is that Yunwen has already understood today's predicament and deployed in advance, and he admires it. Liu Ye smiled.

He is not a person who will be jealous of other people's talents, and Lin Mo's method, in the final analysis, still relies on his thunderbolt, so it feels very comfortable to think about it like this.

Because after the matter spreads, people will definitely say that it was Liu Ye and Lin Mo who teamed up to break Sun Ce, hehe, so my thunderbolt can still be famous all over the world.

"Where, if there is no Ziyang's thunderbolt car, this trick is also difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, in the final analysis, it is still Ziyang who has more credit."

"Yunwen is humble." Liu Ye smiled even more happily.

Lu Bu is also very satisfied, well, it should be like this, for fear that you will steal merit between you, Yunwen is relieved to be a father when he says this, and understands that he is the identity of the Lu family, not the role of a minister.

Yes, yes, it's slowly taking over.

As for the next, let's see Fang Tian's halberd painting for his father to teach him Sun Ce to be a man.
