Linzi City.

Jiao and hurriedly returned.

Liu Bei's dissension plan successfully aroused Jiao He's suspicion of Ren Yi.

Although he was eager to kill Ren Yi immediately, Jiao He kept Liu Bei's advice in mind that he could not directly kill Ren Yi without conclusive evidence.

Otherwise, Jiao He will be stigmatized as a vain murderer in Qingzhou.

Thinking of this, Jiao He couldn't help but admire Liu Bei's words and deeds of repaying grievances with virtue.

But it was only three points of admiration, and it would not make Jiao He really grateful to Liu Bei because of this.

Whether it is Ren Yi or Liu Bei, they are all obstacles for Jiao He to take charge of Qingzhou.

"Don't drive, Liu Bei has already agreed to save Le Anguo."

"But Ben Shi was worried that this Yellow Turban thief had the intention of diverting the tiger from the mountain, so he decided to personally garrison the troops outside the city, and Ren Beijia led the crowd to garrison Linzi City."

"If the thieves come to attack the camp of this history, let them go out of the city to attack the rear of the thieves; If the thieves attack Linzi City, Benshi will lead his troops to attack the rear of the thieves. ”

"In this way, it can become a corner, which is enough to make the thieves return in vain."

Jiao He quietly said the tactics of breaking the enemy, and there was a little more doubt in his words.

Ren Yi looked at Jiao He suspiciously.

Jiao He, who was blocked by the yellow scarves in Linzi City and didn't dare to go out of the city, actually took the initiative to garrison troops outside and form a corner with Linzi City?

This doesn't make sense!

This is so unreasonable!

But Ren Yi is an old fox, although he has doubts in his heart, but he is silent on the surface: "Envoy, the momentum of the horns is good, but the defensive location of the camp is always inferior to that of Linzi City." ”

"To make the king's shoulders related to the safety of Linzi City, you can't go out of the city easily, it's better to choose another general to garrison outside the city."

Jiao He shook his head: "This history is the history of Qingzhou Thorn, if you don't lead by example, how can the generals fight to kill the enemy?" Liu Fujun also agreed with the arrangement of this history. ”

Ren Yi originally wanted to persuade him, but when he heard that Liu Bei also agreed to let Jiao and the garrison outside, his mind suddenly came to life.

"With Jiao He's character, he won't go out of the city easily, but now he takes the initiative to garrison the troops outside, it must be Liu Bei who said something to Jiao He in private."

"Liu Bei is going to focus and do it, then I can also watch a good show."

Ren Yi smiled secretly, thinking that he had guessed everything.

And Jiao He saw that Ren Yi wanted to speak and stopped, and he sneered in his heart.

Ren Yi's reaction was already a manifestation of double-mindedness in Jiao He's eyes.

If Ren Yi really doesn't have two hearts, he should try his best to persuade him at this moment!

The two of them, each with their own ghosts, tested each other and beware of each other, not thinking about whether this situation was deliberately caused by Liu Bei.

"How many men are you going to take out of the city?" Ren asked.

Jiao He didn't think twice: "Benshi has promised to lend Liu Bei 2,000 cavalry, and Benshi will leave another 1,500 cavalry to garrison outside the city, leaving you with 300 people to defend the city." ”

"You just need to set up more flags in the city tower to confuse the yellow scarf."

Three hundred men defending the city?

Is this Jiao He stupid?

"Envoy, how can these three hundred people guard?" Ren Yi felt a toothache.

Jiao He snorted coldly: "You have the geographical advantage of the city, and three hundred guards can take advantage of the location to be one as ten, which is equivalent to three thousand people." Can't 3,000 people hold Linzi City? ”

Ren Yi was speechless for a moment.

Is this how this is calculated on the basis of one as ten?

After pondering for a while, Ren Yi still agreed to Jiao He's deployment and did not continue to object.

Because Ren Yi suddenly thought of a possibility, since this is Liu Bei persuading Jiaohe, then Jiao Jiao and the army went out of the city and borrowed Jiao He to ride two thousand steps, it is very likely that he wants to seize Jiao He's military power.

"Defend the city well, if the city is lost, even if this history is remembered in the past friendship, it will be difficult to convince the public if you are not punished." Leaving a meaningful word, Jiao He left the government office.

"Punishment?" Ren Yi sneered: "Sure enough, this Jiao He has long been dissatisfied with me." I thought I could be a fisherman, so I don't have a good face for me anymore? ”

"Joy and anger are in the form of color, and you can't even hide your thoughts, how can you achieve great things."

"Talking about pedantic, let you be the stepping stone for me to establish and stabilize Qingzhou."

"There can be many Qingzhou thorn histories, but there is only one Qingzhou thorn history!"

Day.

Jiao He transferred 3,500 cavalry from Linzi City, and transported a large amount of grain and grass to Liu Bei's camp.

Liu Bei was also very happy to see Jiao He's arrival.

With 2,000 state soldiers in hand, everything else can be done according to the plan.

And on the other side.

Liu Bei's letter also arrived in Leling City.

Lu Zhi saw the deployment in the letter and immediately asked Deng Xu to take the topographic map of Qingzhou.

Looking at this topographic map, Lu Zhi immediately understood Zheng Ping's tactical intentions.

"Xianmou is convinced of the old man, if this is a different person, let alone blocking the Yellow Turban thieves in Bochang County, it would be good not to be blocked by the Yellow Turban thieves." Lu Zhi stroked his short hair slightly, with relief and fighting intent in his eyes.

Just as Lu Zhi thought, Zheng Ping dared to temporarily change the battle plan, which means that he has absolute trust in Lu Zhi.

I trust Lu Zhi to have enough ability to complete the tactical tasks in Zheng Ping's battle plan.

If Lu Zhi was not there, even if Zhang Fei had the same strength, Zheng Ping would not dare to change the original battle plan.

Whether it is the theory of the art of war or the practical operation of soldiers, Lu Zhi is a first-class general in the world.

Only Lu Zhi commanded the troops to complete the tactical task required by Zheng Ping.

"Master Lu, are you going to prepare for the expedition?" Zhang Fei looked at Lu Zhi excitedly.

After staying in Leling City for several days, Zhang Fei's heart that wanted to go to the battlefield became more and more restless.

But Lu Zhi didn't let him, and Zhang Fei didn't dare to send troops privately.

Tian Yu also stood beside Zhang Fei excitedly.

These days of getting along, Tian Yu and Zhang Fei's temperament is getting more and more similar.

Zhang Fei also followed Lu Zhi's instructions, with Tian Yu as his deputy general, and distributed part of the power of the soldiers and horses to Tian Yu.

Lu Zhi collected Liu Bei's secret letter and did not show it to Zhang Fei and Tian Yu.

There are some confidential and important matters in the secret letter, even Zhang Fei and Tian Yu cannot easily read them.

"I'm really going to go on a journey." Lu Zhi smiled slightly, and marked it with gravel at several key positions on the Qingzhou topographic map: "Yide, hand over the sword to the old man, this attack, all the generals and colonels will act according to the old man's military orders." ”

Zhang Fei and Tian Yu were stunned.

Along the way, Lu Zhi handed over the command of the troops to Zhang Fei, and instructed Zhang Fei and Tian Yu as a marching military division in the army.

Even if it is to save Leling City, it is Zhang Fei who is commanding the troops.

But now, Lu Zhi is in charge of the sword in the army and orders all the generals.

This means that the next battle is far more important and dangerous than saving Leling City!

"Obey the orders of the Lu Division." Zhang Fei didn't hesitate, didn't ask more, and respectfully handed the Ling Sword to Lu Zhi.

A faint aura of slaughter gradually began to permeate.

In Le'an Country, a large number of Yellow Turban thieves began to attack the city and coerce the people.

Once the city is broken, the city will be robbed.

Every time a city was broken, a large number of soldiers and people were slaughtered, and a large number of people were coerced into part of the Yellow Turban refugees.

Corpses are all over the alleys, and mourning is all over the city.

And the saddest thing is that whether it is the Yellow Turban thieves or the victims in the city, they were all good people who survived in this troubled world.

Winter is approaching.

Xu He's food is not enough.

The reason why these more than 200,000 displaced people can be gathered is because Xu He can manage these displaced people to eat and drink.

But once they can't control eating and drinking, these more than 200,000 displaced people will scatter like birds and beasts.

Therefore, Xu He had to find a way to get more food.

And the only shortcut to get food is to grab it!

Xu He didn't think about reclaiming wasteland or anything like that, and it would be over if he didn't have anything to eat.

As for whether there will be more displaced people after the robbery, and whether it will make more people suffer, that is not something that Xu He will consider.

Xu He is essentially no different from Zhang Rao, Xu Qi, and Sima Wei, because he was treated unfairly and became a yellow turban thief, lost himself in the killing, and gradually changed from a former dragon slayer to an evil dragon.

I'd rather bear others than others.

Such an idea is not only Cao Cao, but also Xu He.

As long as you can live, you don't care if others are dead or injured!

"Quickly surround Linzi City!"

As expected, the attack on the four cities of Le'an Kingdom was just Xu He's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

As early as learning that Liu Bei had come to camp outside Linzi City, Xu He had the idea of transferring the tiger away from the mountain.

Liu Bei suddenly rose to the Plains State, destroyed Sima Wei with lightning speed, and raised troops to destroy Zhang Rao in the Beihai Kingdom.

Although Xu He looked down on Guo Zu and these small leaders, he still attached great importance to Sima Wei and Zhang Rao.

After all, Sima Wei and Zhang Rao are the largest Yellow Turban forces in the Plains Country and the Beihai Country respectively.

However.

In a short period of time, Sima Wei and Zhang Rao died one after another.

The one who caused the death of Sima Wei and Zhang Rao was Liu Bei, the plain minister who had never heard of a few months ago!

Now that Liu Bei is outside Linzi City again, Xu He said that he was not afraid of it.

In order to avoid the same result as Sima Wei and Zhang Rao, Xu He decided to transfer Liu Bei out of Linzi City, and then took advantage of Liu Bei's rescue of Le Anguo to quickly besiege Linzi City.

Regardless of the cost, take Linzi City in one go!

Only by taking Linzi City can Xu He survive this cold winter.

"Report!"

"Qu Shuai, there is a camp outside Linzi City, I don't know the number of people, but the banner seems to be Jiaohe."

has been fighting with Jiao He for almost a year, and almost all the scouts under Xu He are familiar with Jiao He's banner.

Jiao and the turtle had been shrinking into the city for a long time, and this suddenly appeared outside the city, and the scout's eyes were like ghosts.

Xu He was also a little surprised: "Have you explored it carefully?" Are you sure it's the banner of Jiaohe? ”

The scout nodded: "I have explored carefully, it is the banner of Jiao He, there will be no mistake." ”

The little leader beside Xu He suddenly said: "Qu Shuai, could it be that Jiao He was worried that he would not be able to hold the city this time, so he deliberately stationed troops outside the city?" ”

"Jiao He is just a rotten Confucian, and without the city, it is nothing, so let his subordinates lead 3,000 people, catch Jiao He and give Qu Shuai wine."

Xu He was noncommittal.

Jiao He's reaction was too unusual, which made Xu He more jealous.

"Ignore it."

"If Jiao He is really outside the city, then this Linzi City will definitely be empty."

"Order, soldiers surround Linzi City!"

Xu He made a quick decision.

The purpose of coming to Zicheng this time was to take advantage of Liu Bei's absence in the first battle.

Take Linzi City, and you can send troops to attack Jiaohe's camp at any time.

Soon.

More than 100,000 yellow scarves arrived in Linzi City, shouting wildly one by one.

Looking at the swarming yellow scarves, Ren Yi at the head of Linzi City felt a tingling scalp.

This tower seems to have a lot of flags, but there are only 300 people who can really defend the city.

Even if the city is geographically advantageous, the physical strength of these 300 people is always limited.

"Xu He is here!"

"Jiao He, come out and answer!"

Xu He rode out of battle and came to the city to shout.

"Xu Qushuai, do you recognize me Bochang Renyi?" Ren Yi stood at the head of the city and began to stall for time.

Xu He frowned.

Ren Yi is very famous in Le'an Country, even Xu He sold Ren Yi's face, and did not drive troops to rob Bochang County.

"It turned out to be Mr. Ren." Xu He secretly exhaled and bowed to Ren Yi in the city tower: "Mr. Ren, I, Xu He, respect you as a Bochang sage, and I don't want to be your enemy, so I have no offense against this Bochang County Qiu." ”

"Why are you helping to abuse in this Linzi City?"

"Why don't you open the city gate, and I send you back to Bochang?"

Ren Yi laughed: "Xu Qushuai, you are embarrassed." I'm a driver in Qingzhou, how can I open the city gate and let you enter the city? When the yellow scarf has no way out, it is better to value peace, how about you descend today? ”

"Drop?" Xu He shook his head with a smile, and pointed the spear in his hand at Ren Yi: "Mr. Ren, I have good words to persuade you, and I respect your reputation." But don't take an inch, if you insist on defending the city, then don't blame me for not being merciful! ”

Ren Yi's face suddenly became a little ugly.

The son of the Bochang family, even if he was rejected for persuasion, he was also scolded by a yellow turban thief with a gun pointed at his nose, which made Ren Yi feel shameless.

"Xu Qushuai, have you heard of Liu Fujun of the Plains Country?" Ren Yi endured his anger and delayed as much time as possible: "Although Jiao Thorn Shi has no way to command the army, but Liu Fujun first destroys Sima Wei and then Zhang Rao, do you think you can resist it?" ”

"Listen to my advice, come down, it's a good thing for everyone!"

Xu He laughed: "Then Liu Bei fell for my plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, how could he return in time?" If you don't say it, I also know that Jiao He didn't dare to come to see me because he had already stationed his soldiers and horses outside the city. ”

"In this Linzi City, can you still make up a thousand soldiers and horses?"

"Mr. Ren, how can the truth of Linzi City be hidden from me Xu He?"

There was a pause.

Xu He shouted: "Siege!" ”

With a "siege", Ren Yi's face suddenly turned pale.

I thought that I could delay for three or four days with my reputation in Le'anguo, but I didn't expect Xu He to lose face at all.

"If the city is broken, I will not escape life and death." Ren Yi's eyes suddenly became ruthless: "On the golden juice!" ”

But the deputy general next to him hesitated: "Don't drive, the city is full of old and weak women and children, this golden juice." ”

Ren Yi shouted: "On the battlefield, where are the old and weak women and children? Either they die or you die, choose for yourself. ”

At the beginning, he defended the city with the most cruel gold juice, and Ren Yi planned to kill a hundred people.

Soon.

Barrels of already boiled gold juice were mentioned in the castle tower.

The golden juice was thrown down from the castle tower with a high temperature, and in an instant there was a cry of pain under the city.

Xu He saw that Ren Yi was so ruthless, and he was immediately furious: "Ren Yi, you also claim to be a sage in the world, and you are so cruel." ”
