Praise City.

Liu Chan rode in the chariot of the prince of Hanzhong and slowly drove into the city.

When I lifted the curtain, I saw that the city was slightly depressed.

The people doing business on the streets have almost disappeared.

The empty city is mostly filled with armored soldiers.

The people are bitter when they are prosperous, and the people who are dying are bitter.

When there is a war, the people will definitely flee, and if they don't flee, won't they give people a strong man and become a husband?

Besides, those who serve as soldiers don't have much courtesy, righteousness, and shame.

All kinds of things that break through the lower limit, they have done it.

"It's so lonely!"

Guan Yinping is the only female dependent who accompanied Liu Chan to praise this time.

Nominally, it is said to be for protection.

She was dressed in a plain skirt, like a blooming white flower. The plump body is curvaceous and curvy, which is eye-catching. The cute face has a hint of playfulness that makes people feel good.

But

This dress is obviously learned from Zhen Mi.

Although she has a good temperament when she wears it, in Liu Chan's eyes, she can still imagine her wielding a long sword, the sword light is like a dragon, and the sword aura is like a rainbow, which is jaw-dropping.

"New City is not so depressed."

Liu Chan said softly on the side: "Xinxi City was raided by surprise, and after it was captured, Uncle Zilong quickly stabilized the situation, and then after I arrived in Xinxi City, it naturally attracted the people of the surrounding Shi clan to come, and naturally it will not be depressed, but this praise has been exploited by the Wei army, and there have been several major wars, and it is normal to be a little cold." ”

After months of war, the population of Runan fell by at least half.

This half, it is not that they are all dead, but that they have escaped.

or fled to Yingchuan, or fled to Chen.

More were absorbed by Liu Chan's Jingzhou.

This cake, Liu Chan ate it with a mouth full of oil.

There is a sentence Zhuge Liang is right, even if he didn't knock down Runan, he Liu Chan earned enough.

"Your Highness, it's here."

Liu Chan and Guan Yinping didn't say a few words, and they were already at the Praise Mansion.

Walking slowly down from the chariot, the officials and generals who had been waiting at the government office paid their respects one after another.

"I'll wait to see Your Highness."

Liu Chan raised his hand, made a false gesture, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite, just get up." ”

Lan Zhan, who was the leader, looked at Liu Chan with a smile on his face, and said: "Your Highness, the hall has prepared a banquet, and the backyard has been vacated for Your Highness, and the maids and maids are all available, if Your Highness doesn't like them, I will remove them." ”

"I have a heart."

Liu Chan smiled, but didn't say anything, but Guan Yinping, who was in the chariot, did not go down with Liu Chan, but rode in the chariot and went in the direction of the backyard.

This backyard is about the silver screen, and he will go to rest tonight.

Otherwise, it would be funny if Wei Guo, who was hiding in the backyard as a slave and maid, was beheaded at night.

"General Pang, don't come unharmed."

Pound bowed to Liu Chan, and a smile on his scarred face showed what he thought was warm.

"Your Royal Highness is here, are you going to use troops against Xin Cai?"

Compared with Lan Zhan's flattery of Liu Chan, what Pang De thought about was the battle ahead, but he made meritorious contributions.

"It's not about using soldiers, it's about attracting the Wei army."

Liu Chan walked forward slowly, and Lan Zhan and Pang De consciously took half a step short of Liu Chan, following on the left and right sides respectively.

"Attract the Wei army?"

Liu Chan nodded slightly.

"There are a lot of people here, so let's go to the inner room and talk again."

Pound also knew that he was in a hurry, so he quickly closed his mouth and didn't say a word.

Arrived in the lobby.

Liu Chan sat on the main seat, and the rest of the ministers sat second.

After taking a sip of wine and moistening his throat, Liu Chan said: "We are waiting for the news of the attack on the cities in Runan, the Wei army must know at this moment, with my understanding of the Wei army, it is impossible for them to be indifferent, and we and the Wei army will definitely meet each other." ”

Meet on the battleground?

Hearing these four words, Pound's whole body became energetic.

"Your Highness means that there is a battle?"

Liu Chan bowed slightly, and continued: "Uncle Zilong attacked Nanton, and then went to attack Ruyang, mobilized a lot of soldiers to defend the city, although the Ping army helped, but several cities were divided, there were not too many people defending the city, if the Wei army attacked strongly, there may be a possibility of being captured."

I came here today, the news was not hidden, on the contrary, I also specially informed Wei Guozuo, presumably, yesterday in Xincai City, that Cao Hong and Sima Yi, they knew that I was going to come to praise the letter. ”

There are a lot of Wei State works in Xinxi City, and Liu Chan didn't start to clean it up, in order to let them pass on the news.

Sometimes, the enemy's meticulous work may not be of his own use.

Using yourself as bait?

Pound was stunned at first, but quickly reacted.

"There are 5,000 soldiers in the city, plus the 7,000 people brought by His Royal Highness, there are more than 10,000 people, even if the Wei army comes to attack, we are not afraid."

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Even if he was a bait, Liu Chan didn't really have the idea of risking his life.

He didn't want to die.

Now the general trend of Runan has been grasped by him, and he came here just to stabilize the general trend that he has already held in his hands.

"Just defending the city, it won't hurt the Wei army."

Hearing this, Pound's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Your Highness means to take the initiative?"

Liu Chan shook his head.

"It's not about taking the initiative, it's about counter-attacking."

Defensive counterattack?

Pound had a puzzled look on his face.

"It is a defensive counterattack, please ask the general to move the clan of his tribe to Lan's Wu Fort, and when the Wei army comes to attack, come to outflank him, not to annihilate the Wei army, the most unfortunate, but also to take Da Lu Ting."

Da Lu Ting was the bridgehead of the Wei army on the south bank of the Nanru River.

Breaking this city and occupying this city, it is difficult for the Wei army to cross the river from Xincai.

It's really to cut off his arm.

"No!"

Pound immediately received the order, hurriedly ate a piece of venison, and then swallowed the wine in the jug, and immediately got up without any nostalgia.

"Your Highness, without further ado, the last general will go to gather troops and horses and go to the Lan Clan's Dock Fort."

"The general is really impatient."

Pang De is eager to make meritorious contributions, and Liu Chan will naturally not discourage his enthusiasm.

Immediately agreed.

"Go ahead."

After Pang De left, Liu Chan turned his gaze to Lan Zhan again.

"County Honor, now is the time to discuss matters in the city."

Liu Chan took a bite and a county respect, which made Lan Zhan float a little.

"How dare you be called a county by His Highness, His Highness will call the villain's name."

Many people are not to blame.

flattered twice, but also to make Lan Zhan work harder.

He Liu Chan has nothing to lose.

"The situation in the city must be stabilized, how long will the grain and grass in the city be enough?"

"Enough food and grass."

Just as Liu Chan was inquiring about the specific situation in the city, a military steward hurriedly came outside the hall.

"Your Highness, there is an urgent report outside the city, Cao Hong led the Wei army to the north and then turned to Baoxin, and now he has crossed the river, and the distance from Baoxin is only ten miles."

"What?"

Hearing this news, Lan Zhan was so shocked that he immediately jumped to his feet, and the panic on his face was even more difficult to hide.

"The enemy army is ten miles away, and I won't get the news until now? If it has cavalry and comes in an instant, how to arrange the city defense? ”

Lan Zhan immediately turned his head, bowed to Liu Chan, and said, "Your Highness, the situation is urgent, please return to Xinxi first, and wait for the praise to settle down, and then it's not too late." ”

Back to the new interest?

Liu Chan shook his head and said, "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, why be afraid?" ”

If he panicked, then Cao Hong's treacherous plan would really succeed.

As long as he is complimenting, the praise will not be messed up.

"Then how many Wei troops did Cao Hong bring here?"

The military steward was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head.

"The situation is tense, and the envoy didn't pay attention to the number of flag formations, but according to him, there are hundreds of boats and ships, and there should be 10,000 people on the march."

10,000 people

Maybe more, maybe less.

Liu Chan already has a bottom in his heart.

"Order the city sergeant to go to the city to arrange defenses, open an arsenal, transport out the equipment to defend the city, and requisition a thousand people to prepare gold juice, fire oil and other things, and the county will bring 500 people to stabilize the situation in the city, if there is chaos, there will be no forgiveness!"

It was obviously a very urgent matter, but between Liu Chan's words, he arranged the matter clearly.

Lan Zhan also put down his hanging heart, and said with admiration in his heart: "Your Highness is not chaotic in danger, Lan Zhan admires, His Highness ordered, his subordinates will do it!" ”

Unconsciously, Liu Chan gained another fan brother.

After Lan Zhan finished speaking, he walked towards the outside of the hall.

This food collapsed on the good wine and food, and no one ate and drank it.

After Lan Zhan left, Liu Chan's eyes were dark.

This Cao Hong actually gave him a trick?

Look at your strategy, who is more powerful than mine!

He Liu Chan is a hospitable person, you Cao Hong came with Wei Jun, how can I not greet him?

Since it's here

Hehe.

Then don't go!
