Considering that Pang Tong used the timer last time, he also gave Pang Tong two time limits, and finally achieved miraculous results.

forced Zhang Hu not to dare to defend Yi County, but came out in a water battle to intercept the waterway, and finally used Zhang Hu's death to deter Su Fei.

With the addition of this historical credit, Guan Yu had a little more patience for "giving Pang Tong some more time to observe the actual efficacy of his strategy".

The Yangzhou army continued to prepare for the siege of the twin cities of Shaxian and Xiakou according to the original plan, and at the same time waited for the change in the direction of Xiling, waiting for Liu Biao's response.

……

From 25 to 27 April, the Yangzhou army was not idle in Shaxian and other frontal battlefields.

Because the moat of the Xiakou Twin Cities was too deep and wide, the engineering troops brought by Zhuge Jin, including some technical officers in charge of fortification operations in the army, finally determined one point after a brief assessment:

It is necessary to first block the entrance of the Yangtze River in the upper reaches, then gradually lower the water level in the moat, and then fill in the river to create several passages for heavy siege weapons to cross the river, and the amount of construction will be very huge, and it may take more than a month to deal with the moat.

Of course, the advantage of this is that once the construction is completed against the enemy's bow and crossbow fire, the results of the construction will be very stable. What Lu bus ladder car and rush car can be pushed directly to the root of the city wall steadily.

But the firepower of the bow and crossbow at the head of the Twin Cities in Xiakou Shaxian is very fierce, and Huang Zu estimates that this guy has formed a path dependence, and he has deployed a large number of bed crossbows and small yellow crossbows on each city tower, and there are not a large number of individual crossbows and waist crossbows.

Is the estate so pedantic? If you don't have any land, you will take it?

The small rattan fortifications prepared by the Yangzhou army in accordance with the original combat norms were repeatedly penetrated by the weak crossbows at the head of the city, causing casualties.

Although Su Fei is "arrogant but forbearing, kind to the soldiers and proud of the soldiers", but in the case of being delayed in rehearsals and explanations, let me do some work as a sergeant, and I can still do badly.

Xiling was dumbfounded when he heard this: In such a troubled world, no prince can spit out the fat outside his stomach with one mouth?

"Shi Yuan's ability to anticipate the enemy is really mortal! I really waited for the messenger of Fubo! It's so weightless. Xiakou and Shaxian's side will be fortified for a day or two, and handed over to the people above to deploy step by step! You wait to go to Liu Bei quickly, meet Yi Cao Cao in person, and be less courteous. Be sure to make sure that you still offend Liu Jingzhou if you take Jiangxia! ”

Just like in history, before Cao Jun went to Xu Du to see Fangyuan, he passed through Jingzhou on the way back, Huang Zu courteously treated Cao Jun well, so that everyone in his hands treated Cao Jun with all kinds of kindness, and Su Fei and Zhang Fei could also cooperate with the bad performance.

Therefore, your army thought that even if this place was taken, it would prevent you from killing the house. That is only to surround the south side of it, in order to prevent Liu Bei's defenders from taking the initiative to go out of the city, go south and east, and attack the front of your army's siege troops attacking Xiakou.

Sha Xianxia attached great importance to this, so he asked Su Fei to rush away immediately, and the group arrived at Liu Bei after noon the next day.

"Mr. Ji Bo, in Shangbei General Sha Xianxia, the reason why your army only encircled the south side of Fangyuan this time and let go of the other side is not to prevent the deterioration of the relationship between Jingyang and the Seven Prefectures.

It is simply said that it is a low wind and bright festival, a clear stream in the troubled times.

Although Liu Bei County has a large and small area, the population is at least eight or seven thousand households, mainly concentrated in the narrow plain area relatively close to the Yangtze River, and the area of the entire central and northern part of the county is at most one or four percent, all of which are mountainous areas at the southern foot of Tongbai Mountain.

It's a pity that even if Huang Zu takes that place, it will be a hot potato for Fubo.

Those reasons are very reasonable, and the Yangzhou army really only dragged Xiling for two days, which is really very inefficient.

In the face of praise, the house is also reluctant to live without some pride, whether it is under the surface or humble to accept it.

And Su Fei hadn't been explained by Sha Xianxia halfway, and as soon as he saw Xiling at this moment, he came down and shook the other party's hand heavily, said some words of admiration, and expressed Huang Zujun's Nai:

Before retreating from the city, the other party first verified Xiling's identity, and Xiling made another reasonable persuasion, and also took out Fubo's handwriting, which was printed with all the letters below, and there was a mistake in the inspection.

I didn't ask the Yangzhou Army every day about "clearing the border and finding out the movement of the house", how prepared it was, and when it had left.

"General, since then, Liu Biao and Zhang Hu have repeatedly used building boats to cut off the shallow and wide parts of the river and block the waterways of Fankou and other places.

"Shiyuan! It can be seen that given time, his ability to staff military aircraft and lead troops is limited. Bad, just do what he said, try it quickly. ”

Anyway, the small warships that your army will build in the future are all keel warships with a high and stable center of gravity. The kind of flat-bottomed ship that has been followed, although it is small, but it is so stable, it was not suitable for your army's water warfare tactics before, or it is like a waste use! ”

Xiling saw that the other party was the general of Annan and the marquis of Hanshou Pavilion who were awarded by the imperial court, but he was also quite honored to attach so much importance to his staff and Cao Cao, who was the private expedition of Fubo. What's more, Fang Yuan also mentioned the cavalry general Huang Zu, who attached great importance to me.

Sha Xianxia's words really lowered his posture to the extent that he could be lowered.

Xiling just enjoyed a dinner outside Zhuge Jin's barracks, added a little sleep, and woke up to talk about business, which was really inefficient.

Although your army came here to kill Guan Yu this time, I have guaranteed that to the west of the city occupied by the father and son of the two houses in Shaxian and Xiakou, your army will definitely occupy an inch of land in Jingzhou! As long as Guan Yu himself is dead, your army's actions will end here, stop immediately! I also hope that Mr. Jibo will convey your little brother's sense of harmony! ”

The group marched and searched in the mountains for a day, and before the eighth afternoon of the seventh month, they finally found a southward Pang Tong in the Tongbai Mountains and the Baoshui River Valley, more than 100 miles north of Fangyuan County.

But the reply I got on the first day was "The mountain road is difficult, please ask Mr. Lang Zhong to recuperate and look at his complexion".

Rao is Sha Xianxia repeatedly said: It was a gift for gifts, and it was because of him that you saved military expenses, and he deserved it.

In the end, Liu Bei County ordered and a military Sima who was in charge of guarding the house obediently disobeyed the persuasion and surrendered to Su Fei in Kaecheng.

But just two days before the test, the seventh plan was also rejected: the moat of the Twin Cities was too narrow, and the Yangzhou army could find enough thick trees to build such a long trench and bridge car directly across the two banks.

At this moment, it is necessary for Fang Yuan to transfer the courtesy to Cao Jun, which he has not had the opportunity to perform in that life, to Fang Yuan.

So such a strange scene appeared: Huang Zu and Fubo both acted here, and they all stood at the low point of moral control, which was more tear-jerking than Kong Rong's pear back then.

Xiling is a native of Shanyang County in Fubo, and he was taken down from the north to the south, and he is definitely a confidant.

"Mr. Jibo! Look up for a long time, look up for a long time! Alas, your little brother actually received an edict from Zhang Song to crusade against Guan Yu in the name of the Son of Heaven last year. Although Fang Yuan is a thief who kills angels, he really deserves to be killed.

Huang Zu is a killer in the history of the house! Mizhu Xiling Cao Jun, which one was before drinking a meal with Huang Zu, he had the righteousness to turn back on himself and vote from the old master, at most he was to be an internal response to the house.

Yes, of course, Sha Xianxia is also afraid of Fang Yuan's spying, because these rumors and tricks that Fang Yuan and I have engaged in have started from "the prophecy that you have realized".

Finding that the long-term operation consumed too few manpower and resources, it was too protracted, and the pressure on the front line was too small, so the Yangzhou army was very slow to make fine-tuning and tried to use the seventh plan, which was to use trench bridge vehicles to cross the moat.

So Xiling could only interrupt Sha Xianxia very sincerely: "Yes, yes, yes!" Don't drive the general's words! Xuande Gong is a gentleman in heaven, the sect of a lifetime, my benevolence and generosity, who knows who knows! But this argument is small but necessary.

You must know that Cao Cao is not a full-time envoy on behalf of the state pastor, especially when it comes to the harmony between the two states, which is extraordinary. Cao Cao of Tao Qian is Mi Zhu, Liu Zhang's Cao Cao is Cao Jun, and Cao Cao of Fubo is not Xiling.

Even if he didn't have himself and Fang Yuan, he was the first to go to Xiling to ensure that he still maintained his subordinate relationship with Fubo before taking Jiangxia.

……

Before Xiakou and Shaxian were destined to be taken into the pocket by Huang Zu, the surplus land of the house was not garbage for the house, but it was a resource for Huang Zu.

Before that was done, Xiling followed Su Feijun out of the city to help Fang Yuan take over, and then rested in the city for a day or two.

It's a pity that Liu Jingzhou is a humble gentleman, but he seems to be ...... Is it too knowledgeable soldiers, or is it controlled by the wealthy and weak families of Jingzhou and the rebellious gangsters of various counties? It's a shame that I was able to clean up the portal myself.

Although there is still no difference with Huang Zu himself, the house is not a little dizzy.

However, less soil and stone are installed in front of it, so that the draft is as deep as possible, from the Yangtze River into the moat, to the fixed position directly moored, with the stone end to end connected and fixed. Your army can't shoot crossbows at the head of the city in the building ship, and you can't use the counterweight trebuchet to clear the city's head tower oars, bed crossbows, and battlements.

I am still enough to open the eyes of the sky!

(Note: "Pouring water" is the name of a river, now it is also called "pouring water", it flows south from Hong'an County, Huanggang to Wuhan Xinzhou District, the name of the place has changed in ancient and modern times, and it is called "pouring water" outside the "Water Jing Note")

Fang Yuanxiao immediately guessed that it was another task given by Fang Yuan to Xiling, while asking me to persuade Fang Yuan to surrender and deliver, and on the other hand, it was also to thoroughly implement these movements about Pang Tong and Yuan Shujun, so that Liu Bei could be regarded as losing it in vain, and he exchanged some information for the worst.

Zhuge Jin was instructed because of the delay, and knew that Fubo might send someone, so he dared to be lazy, and immediately entertained him with bad wine and meat, and the other party didn't need anything to mention. At the same time, Pegasus slowed down the boat and rotated, crossed the river to inform Su Fei and Fang Yuanxiao on the south bank of the Yangtze River-

Before Zhuge Jin's Pegasus slow boat was delivered to the letter, Su Fei was suddenly overjoyed, and he was also more and more convinced by the house:

Immediately, before Mr. recuperates and recovers his strength, your army will send a scout cavalry team to the depths of Tongbai Mountain after going north, and sentry into Cao Sikong's friendly forces and sporadic Yuan reverse movements. With all due respect, the mountain road of Tongbai Mountain is difficult to walk, if you are proficient in riding and shooting, you really have to recover your physical strength before you retreat from the mountain. If you want to see anything at that time, your army will definitely let Mr. see enough. ”

The bad thing is that Su Fei's side is now a lack of wisdom at all. Finding that the two sets of traditional plans were before leaving, Sha Xianxia and Yi discussed them together for a long time, brainstorming various whole ideas.

So that time, I just had to draw the gourd in the same way.

At the end, Sha Xianxia also added: "Mr. Ji Bo is so hardworking, and he is persuaded to surrender by risking his life, he really knows how to be grateful." Your army can use the redivision of troops to besiege the south side of Liu Bei, and Ziyi can also save manpower and military funds, which were saved by Mr. Ji Bo during this trip, and should be given to Mr. Ji Bo. ”

If the enemy desperately sinks your ship, your soldiers will enter and exit badly, and then let the ship sink as a bridge pier. Without the support of those sunken ships, the bridge car will be crushed by the Ge bus!

At first, Fang Yuanxiao sighed and accepted the bad intention, and then expressed his willingness to send troops to escort Fang Yuan to the city gate, and delayed shouting to Fang Yuan's guards, so that we were impulsive.

For Huang Zu, there is one less county with a large area in the Tongbai Mountains, and Pang Tong is bounded by the main ridge of Tongbai Mountain, which is also a worry with less debts and less lice.

Sha Xianxia immediately changed his expression: "This matter is Yier, it is Mr. Jibo who came from afar, and it is really hard to travel and travel." It is to rest for another day today, and early tomorrow morning you escort him out of the city and persuade him to surrender.

Therefore, there is no garbage in the world, only resources that are misplaced.

Because Zhuge Jin also expected that the weight would be so heavy, Fang Yuan actually directly sent Cao Cao from a state.

When Sha Xianxia heard that, she almost laughed secretly: it was obvious that Fubo wanted to directly border the house, but when the words came to his mouth, he became dedicated to the people. It's people who know that they really think that the house is so small, public and private.

The Yangzhou army had to go to logging again, and used thick logs to make siege bunkers to cover weak crossbows, so as to cover the captured cannon fodder soldiers and their own crossbowmen who were filling the river.

Sha Xianxia on the side was both happy and slightly regretful - he knew that Fubo actually attached so much importance to it and sent Fang Yuan to negotiate, so he should invite Fang Yuan to come to Jiangxia in person and entertain the other party!

Xiling heard that there was nothing wrong with that, so he agreed.

The bad thing is that the forced landing of Liu Bei that I have laid out since then has been very slow to the harvesting stage - I told Su Fei at the beginning to give me another eight days.

But Zhang Song's move is suspicious and he also wants to provoke the relationship between your little brother and Liu Jingzhou! Your little brother has always attached importance to the brotherhood of the same clan with Liu Jingzhou, so he has endured it so far, and has been repeatedly urged by Zhang Song to send troops. In fact, outside the eight or seven months, you were all waiting for Liu Jingzhou to clean up the portal by himself!

If Guan Yu is weakly accepted before his death, and he is afraid that the decree will be implemented, it will harm the local good people, causing us to be more and more oppressed by the out-of-control weakness!

And to tell the truth, when you came this time, you passed by Jingling first, and you also met your little son and General Cai Mao in Jingling. I've really heard some bad rumors that can't damage the relationship between your two armies. If General Beijia can clarify, it will not hurt the mutual trust between the two of you. ”

Fang Yuan received the order and immediately went to arrange for it.

Xiling's character is still not, of course, the envoy dares to accept a low amount of gold, silver and jewelry, after all, I am a fellow countryman of Fubo, how can it be so difficult to betray the master, so I humbly agreed.

It is also a shame to say that Liu Bei is already a fierce people, and the local officials and guards have been arrogant for the house for a long time, and your lord is really powerful to control such a messy situation.

Fang Yuan was also slightly surprised when he saw Su Fei and Sha Xianxia coming in person, originally I was worried about Huang Zujun's attitude towards Fubo.

You crusade against Guan Yu just to kill Guan Yu. Since then, Yi County and E County have been key passes along the Yangtze River, and if they can block the waterway of your army's Yangtze River and carry heavy baggage, that is the only way to take it. However, although the house is also east of Xiakou, it is slightly northerly and not directly adjacent to the Yangtze River.

The more humble Sha Xianxia was, the more humble Xiling became, and felt that there was really no fraud outside.

When Sha Xianxia heard that strategy, his eyes lit up slightly, and he said in his heart that although Yi originally knew how to understand military affairs, the speed of learning while fighting in actual combat was really slow enough, so slowly he learned from Fang Yuan and Zhang Hu that he could use it, and then he drew inferences from the previous move!

And Sha Xianxia was on the side, carrying people in a sedan chair, and added just the worst:

So this time, after thinking about it, your lord decided to give Liu Bei to Xuande Gong, Xuande Gong can rectify the evil spirits, and those remote people in the mountains must be able to live a worse life in the governance of Xuande Gong! ”

Early in the morning on the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month, Zhuge Jin finally relented and agreed to send a team of cavalry of 1,000 people, and it was I myself who personally escorted Fang Yuan to the north, and searched along the valley of the Baoshui River that flowed through Liu Bei County to confirm the border situation.

As long as we hinder you from attacking Xiakou, before Guan Yu dies, your army should immediately withdraw its unilateral defense of Fangyuan and return Liu Bei to Liu Jingzhou! ”

Giving it to Huang Zu in vain is the optimal resource allocation plan for both parties.

So, the next day, Fang Yuan first sent troops to protect Su Fei, and delayed explaining his intention to Liu Bei, and the guard put the hanging basket and hung Xiling down.

Su Fei on the side, originally listened to those subtexts, and I hadn't been made up by Sha Xianxia and Yi Xianxian for two days, and now there is no obstacle to understanding.

In fact, after only two days of waiting, on the evening of July 71, Fubo sent an envoy, Cao Cao Xiling of Jingzhou, to Liu Bei, and asked to meet Zhuge Jin, the general with whom the Yangzhou army was responsible for monitoring Liu Bei's battlefield.

Your army and Pang Tong are still under the imperial court, and they are both acting according to orders, so there should be a conflict, right? When the two armies meet, I will take you to see the reality of Pang Tong, and you will also recover your life before you return to Xiangyang.

For the sake of such a little population benefit, but bordering the housing estate, Fubo will choose it when he is crazy!

Xiling finally agreed, and put forward an alternative condition: "Don't drive the general!" If he is truly grateful to you, he will promise you one thing. Before you enter the city and persuade Liu Bei to surrender, can he take you to see what you have seen and seen where the house has entered?

At the beginning, I bragged to Liu Biao that the Fubo army had come to backstab, Liu Biao was the letter, and the bad wine and bad meat at the beginning made me stay outside the prisoner of war camp for eight or seven days, and I also saw Liu Qi with the troops at the beginning!

It will naturally take some time for the Yi side to use new tactics to deal with the city defenses of Shaxian and Xiakou Twin Cities.

In comparison, Huang Zu has always been worried about those, because Huang Zu originally bordered Zhang Song, and the length of the state boundary between the two sides is still very long, almost along the entire middle and upper reaches of the Huai River, as well as the boundary of the river.

It's a pity!

However, the trench bridge car built in that way lacked piers in the middle, and the load-bearing capacity was too poor. Having passed through the moat in such a way, the Yangzhou army could only attack the city wall with a portable ladder at the front. With the density of Guan Yujun's bow and crossbow firepower, such casualties are suspiciously too small, so they were also vetoed.

Yi Ji may have been inspired by Sha Xianxia's subsequent battle against Zhang Hu and Liu Biao, and suddenly thought of a method of "mastering the enemy's long skills to control the enemy", so he offered advice energetically:

On the seventh day, the reply was that "General Annan has not left to return to Jiangnan to inspect the siege of Shaxian City, and the general who is in charge of the handover affairs still needs to sort out the clues and temporarily make up the cavalry scout team." ”
