When Cao Wu received Jiang Wan's secret letter, he was continuing to look for Zhou Yu's main force along the Baiteng River.

Diao Chan and Wei Yan were beside him, and when they saw that he just glanced at the secret letter, they laughed out loud, and couldn't help but be puzzled.

Diao Chan said curiously: "Cao Lang, what's wrong?" ”

Cao Wu shook his head, sure enough, those who can live to such an age in this troubled world are not fuel-efficient lamps.

If Jiangdong really loses in Jiaozhou in the future, I am afraid that the last straw that crushes the camel must come from the Shi family.

A family that controls the fate of millions of people, even in the north, there are not necessarily a few.

Zhou Yu still underestimated Shixie.

Although Shi Xie's plan has not yet been implemented, Jiang Wan learned through his conversation with Na Shi Festival that Shi Xie does have a very high chance of recovering his power.

First, the people in the banquet were placed under house arrest, and then they controlled the entire Dragon Weaving City, and the other cities, as long as Shixie passed on the throne, could be attached.

Once this wind is reversed, the four counties of Jiaozhi will have to change owners again.

"The head of the city changes the banner of the king, and it is true."

Cao Wu smiled and handed the letter to Diao Chan, after reading it, Diao Chan looked at Cao Wu inquiringly, and seeing Cao Wu nodded, she gave the letter to Wei Yan.

Wei Yan was surprised: "There is such a thing, everyone has been deceived by Shi Xie's old fox!" ”

"Now it seems, it is."

Cao Wu was in a good mood, looking at Baiteng Jiangdong, with today's news, coupled with the news of the Jiangdong Army's siege of the city from Guangxin, he finally had a clearer understanding of the situation in Jiaozhou.

Not surprisingly, this battle of Jiaozhou will become three parts.

Lü Meng and Jiang Wan led 30,000 men to besiege Guangxin, preparing to use Guangxin as a fulcrum to encroach on Cangwu, and then cut off the back road of Cao's army.

Shi Xie and Jiang Wan launched a conspiracy in Longbian City, seized control of Longbian, and imprisoned Mubuqi of the puppet Jiaozhou, with the aim of cutting off the back road of the Jiangdong Army.

The two fulcrums of Guangxin and Longbian are still the battleground for the whole battle, and their strategy in Yulin County is actually nothing.

Although Yulin County is the third battlefield, it is not in the strategic value of Yulin County itself, but in the decisive battle between the main force of the Jiangdong Army and the main force of the Cao Army.

In fact, the battle of Guangxin and Longbian is only subsidiary, and the most important thing is the decisive battle between him and Zhou Yu.

Therefore, after going around, it still depends on where Zhou Yu's main force is.

The Baiteng River is not as majestic as the Yangtze River and the Pearl River, but it is like the width of a small river, but the river is more urgent.

The Baiteng River is turbulent, Cao Wu understands, everything, in the final analysis, still has to find Zhou Yu.

"Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu, where are you? You can't hide in the water. ”

Wei Yan looked over with Cao Wu's eyes, his expression solemn.

He had already learned about the fierce battle under the city of Guangxin.

30,000 men attacked the city defended by 3,000 men, and the enemy general Lü Meng did not use the means of besieging the city, but poured all his forces on a wall.

This has advantages, and the advantage is that Guangxin City is large, and there is no need to divide troops when only attacking one side. There are also disadvantages, and the disadvantage is that this battlefield has completely become a grinding machine.

Although Wei Yan was not at the scene, he could guess that at this time, human lives would inevitably be filled under the city like worthless, and the defenders on the city wall would face a rain of arrows from the other party every time they counterattacked, and the pressure was not small.

This kind of battle is a test of the willpower of both sides, and the requirements for the general's adaptability are also extremely high.

Whether it is defending or attacking, it is necessary to find the weak point as quickly as possible and invest in the defense or attack.

Temptations, feints, and landings, all measures will emerge one after another.

He was excited at the thought of this battle, but he was not envious.

For him, he would prefer to be able to gallop across the country and use cavalry to face the enemy army on the steppe, rather than nesting in a city for defense.

In any case, the pressure on Lejin was too great, and he felt that if he was in Lejin's position, it might not take long for him to collapse.

……

Lejin didn't break down, he even wanted to laugh.

He had experienced many sieges and defenses, but he never thought that defending the city could be like this.

In the past, soldiers threw things under the city, risking their lives, and it was not necessary that a cold arrow could kill you.

But now that it is not necessary, the kind of wooden platform provided by Beifu that can be extended greatly expands the area of defense.

Unless it was an archer as strong as Huang Zhong, it was impossible for anyone to shoot from the small hole in the floor of the wooden platform when attacking the city.

But throwing things from top to bottom is as simple as carrying and smashing.

Lejin has stockpiled a lot of consumables to defend the city, and now it's time to take them out and use them.

Coupled with all kinds of crossbow machines and other equipment, the tragic offensive and defensive battles he imagined only appeared on the besieging side, but not on the defending side.

It can be said that there is Cao Asi in Beifu, which is better than 10,000 male soldiers!

Imagine, under the dense rain of arrows, the enemy army finally attacked the city and began to climb up, and the enemy commander also took this as a breakthrough and transferred people over, but as a result, a wooden platform suddenly grew on the city wall, and hot oil, bows and arrows, and even feces and urine were thrown down on the wooden platform.

In this case, the soldiers who finally have the opportunity to enter the city will collapse.

Elite soldiers like the Jiangdong Army may not be able to do it, let alone these waste soldiers in Jiaozhi.

About two quarters of an hour after the start of the battle, the besieging side was already in full decline, and if it had not been for the three men attacking the city together, I am afraid that they would have retreated long ago.

In the end, when several siege assaults were defended by the equipment commanded by Chen Zhi, Lü Meng finally ordered a retreat.

In this battle, Lu Meng almost reaped the consequences.

He delusionally wanted to attack the same wall, to fight more and less, and quickly break through the upper city.

This idea was correct, but he didn't know it at all, so that Cao Jun's defense equipment could all be piled up in the same direction.

If Lu Meng could fly to the sky to take a look, he would immediately understand that on this city wall, there were all kinds of instruments, wooden and iron, as long as someone attacked, these things would be turned into weapons, and the attacking party could not take care of himself.

In the end, the three Cochin armies attacked like a tide, and the retreat was like a tide.

Before leaving, Ling Tong turned around and scolded the head of the city, expecting the defenders of the city to report their names.

Chen Zhi felt that he was a general, and he was embarrassed to use his name, so he did not speak.

The enemy left and camped a mile away, and it seemed that there would be no attack today.

The defenders breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Lejin counted the casualties, and they only killed dozens of people and injured more than 100.

Compared to the enemy's casualties of at least a few thousand, their casualties were too small.

"It's a big win!"

Le Jin was very excited, and said to Ah Si: "Thank you Ah Si girl for giving me this big victory!" ”

He said solemnly, Ah Si replied with a smile: "They were all ordered by my general, and these instruments were taught to me by my general." ”

As soon as these words came out, Le Jin and Chen Zhi were stunned.

They always thought that although these things were provided by Cao Wu, they were Ah Si's own creations, who knew that they were actually from Cao Wu's handwriting.

Chen Zhi hesitated: "I don't know which one was designed by General Beifu?" ”

Ah Si drew a circle with both arms.

"Ballista?"

Chen Zhi asked, there happened to be a ballista in the place where Ah Si drew a circle.

"It's all!"

Ah Si left with a grin, leaving behind two generals who were shocked into wooden people.

After a long time, Le Jincai sighed: "General Beifu is really an all-rounder!" ”

Chen Zhi nodded.

He still had a little bit of caution in his heart, feeling that although he was forced to follow Cao Wu, he didn't follow the wrong person after all.

Gradually, he found that as long as he was not allowed to face the old master Liu Bei, he was willing to follow Cao Wu all the time.

In a big war, Le Jin was still busy with official business, and he arranged for people to go outside the city to pick up the consumables for defense, and at the same time simply dispose of the corpses outside the city.

Then in order to prevent the enemy army from attacking the city at night, some arrangements were made.

When Sun Quan attacked Hefei, he made a move to attack the city day and night.

However, it is obvious that Jiang Xin and the others are not so crazy, and they did not attack the city at night.

After a few days, the Jiaozhi army controlled by the Jiangdong people still had no intention of attacking the city.

Every day, the soldiers in the Gangto battalion would come out on time to practice, but they did not attack as before.

Lejin is still not at ease, and he is ready at any time, in case those soldiers suddenly come over, they must have a response.

In this situation, Chen Zhi stayed on the top of the city wall day and night, never went down to the city for a day, and ate and drank in the city.

On this day, Chen Zhi was inspecting the equipment guarding the city, and suddenly saw a woman walking towards him, wearing a veil, but it was not Ah Si.

Chen Zhi was originally puzzled, but when she got closer, she saw it, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Mrs. Mi!" ”

"General Chen."

Mi Zhen made a blessing, and she was followed by several maidservants, one of whom was holding Adou in her arms.

Adou went up to the city wall for the first time, babbling left and right, very happy.

Chen Zhi's eyes unconsciously glanced over, glanced at Adou a few times, confirmed that he was healthy, and a stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Mi Zhen said: "General Chen, I'll come to see how the city is defending." ”

Chen Zhi nodded, and let her see.

Mi Zhen didn't make any moves, Chen Zhi felt that Mi Zhen didn't come for this matter, but just made an excuse.

Chen Zhi asked suspiciously, "Is there anything else about Mrs. Mi?" ”

"General Zhao...... When I woke up, he was in bed for a few days and didn't get up, I persuaded him, but he didn't persuade him, can you go and persuade him? ”

Mi Zhen smiled bitterly, but there was expectation in her eyes.

Chen Zhi also smiled bitterly when he heard this.

Zhao Yun, who is loyal and courageous, I am afraid that the only people who can persuade him in this world are his lord Liu Bei, and this Adou, who can't speak.

……

On the same day, Jiaozhi County, Longbian City, Suinan Zhonglang General's Mansion.

The three brothers of the Shi family held a banquet for more than ten days in a row, and every day they feasted officials and heroes from all walks of life in Jiaozhou.

Some of these people are easily impressed, and some still need to be considered, but without exception, they all show a tendency to turn against them.

It's just because they heard that Shi Xie has indeed been placed under house arrest by their three brothers, and he can no longer give orders.

Today, the three brothers feasted on the Taishou of Rinan County and Jiuzhen County, and Jiaozhou Mu Buqi was also a guest.

said that it was too shou, but in fact, because the two counties of Rinan and Jiuzhen were under the control of the barbarian Miao descendants, these two were not in office, but they were both huge family forces and needed to be won over by the three brothers.

Prior to this, there have been rumors that Bu Qi is just relying on the relatives of the younger sister of the clan to take the top position, and he has no strength, but now he knows that Bu Qi is a young man, but he shows a tendency to dance with long sleeves. Almost nothing went wrong.

The three brothers of the Shi family trusted him very much, and with him, they saved a lot of things.

At the banquet, Shixie's younger brother Shiwu said with a smile: "Jiangdong has many talents, and there are young and handsome people like Buzhou Mu. Ladies and gentlemen, I speak directly, although Jiangdong only occupies more than half of the state, but its strength is much stronger than ours, and it is much better to take refuge in Jiangdong and let these people continue to be in power, which is much better than taking refuge in the traitor Cao Cao. Cao Cao has so many soldiers and horses, how can he take a fancy to us? Do you think so? ”

During the banquet, the guests applauded, and they didn't feel that it hurt their dignity to say it so bluntly.

"Then drain the wine!"

Shiwu drank in a big gulp, and all the guests also drank it all.

Little did they know that a riot was coming.
