Yuan Ying's heart was gloomy at this time, although he didn't understand what Liang Jun's idea was now, but early this morning, Liang Jun started the fortifications on both sides at the same time, which made him understand a little bit that this Zhong Licheng was not something he could fight if he wanted to, nor could he walk away if he wanted to.

Now he can't show the slightest cowardice in front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies, he has besieged Zhongli for more than a year, originally thought that Zhongli was already in his bag, but what he didn't expect was that in just a few days, he immediately changed from an active situation to a passive situation, which was indeed something he never expected.

"Let's go and see who built such a castle overnight to block our connection with Heijo. Yuan Ying turned his horse's head and headed north. Yuan Xiang, Yang Dayan and the others hurriedly followed behind him and walked forward together.

After Yuan Ying came to the north bank of Huaishui, he stayed in the local area, the city wall that stretched for dozens of miles, and the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Yang Dayan were stopped on both sides of Huaishui, he squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the flag on the city wall, which had a big beam character written on it, and dozens of banners that looked like Zhao characters.

Yuan Ying went through all the generals of Nanliang in his heart, and wondered how he had never heard of a general surnamed Zhao in Nanliang, thinking of this, he clamped his legs and ran to the bottom of the city.

Yuan Xiang exclaimed, she didn't understand why her eldest brother was in danger alone, she hurriedly stepped forward to guard. At this time, there were defenders on the city wall who saw Yuan Ying's team of men and horses, and hurriedly went to report to their generals.

Before Yuan Ying came to the city gate, he raised his breath and asked loudly, "Can the generals in front show up?"

The general of the Great Liang above the city gate also replied loudly: "I am, dare to ask who you are?"

"I'm Yuanying, the king of Zhongshan in the Great Wei Dynasty, who are you?"

The leader of the Great Liang was taken aback when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that the commander of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Zhongshan Wang Yuanying, was actually under his own city, it can be seen that this person's courage is indeed different from ordinary people, thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a little respect in his heart, he signaled his archers not to release arrows, and then replied loudly: "I am the Liang Grain and Grass Supervisor Zhao Cao, on the orders of the two generals Cao and Wei, waiting for General Yuan here!"

Yuan Ying was stunned, he couldn't imagine that Cao Jingzong would actually send a grain and grass supervisor to garrison this city, but it was really unreasonable to arrange troops.

"General Zhao, do you think that just by bending to a small city, you can stop my Great Wei's army from moving south?" asked Yuan Ying with a sneer.

"General Yuan, I think you misunderstood the meaning of the two generals, we don't want to stop you from going south, but want to block your reinforcements from going south, General Yuan understands?"

Yuan Ying's face turned pale after hearing this, although he already knew the intentions of the Southern Liang army, but when he heard Zhao Cao say it so bluntly, he was still unhappy in his heart.

It's just that he couldn't think of a way to crack it for a while, and when he got closer, he realized that this city was extremely strange, the north and south of the city were only a few zhang away, and between the high city walls, only the daily rest place of the Southern Liang army was left, and the benefit of this construction was that the army defending in the direction of the north wall, when encountering a strong enemy, the army in the direction of the south wall would be replenished to the north in time, and the direction of the south wall was the same.

Yuan Ying suddenly remembered what Daxingtai Xing Luan had said to himself when he was leaving, what he said to himself at that time was really word for word, but he ---- Yuanying sighed secretly in his heart, he had never taken the words of this Daxingtai to heart, he had never lost a battle for many years, so that his heart had unconsciously become arrogant, and now that ---- had not started the war, an inexplicable sadness rose in his heart.

"Big brother, don't get any closer to them, let's go back to the camp quickly, let's discuss a good way to solve this problem." Yuan Xiang was also extremely anxious at this time, even though she brought Lord Xing Luan's intentions over, but the scene in front of her told her that it was already too late, and all the efforts made by Xing Luan in the capital would be in vain----

"Sister Xiang, now that I can't even send the news back to the capital, what should I do now?" Yuan Ying muttered.

"What news does the eldest brother want to send back to the capital?" asked Yuan Xiang.

"Of course, I sent a letter to Lord Xing Luan Xing, asking him to immediately raise troops and go south. "Yuan Ying really wanted this Lord Xing to appear in front of her eyes immediately at this time and give herself a good idea.

"Now that I'm counting, Lord Xing should already be on his way here. Yuan Xiang thought that Xing Luan's army would reach the bank of Huaishui in a few days, and his heart suddenly calmed down a lot.

"Already on the ---- way?" Wonyoung didn't seem to believe what he had just heard.

Yuan Xiang didn't have much excitement at this time, but her expression was a little gloomy: "I just set off three days earlier than Lord Xing, and now that counting, Lord Xing's army is only two days away from us." ”

"This is really good, Lord Xing is very resourceful, if he comes here at this time, he will definitely be able to reverse the unfavorable situation of our army. ”

Yuan Xiang didn't answer after hearing this, she didn't understand what she was worried about, but the deep uneasiness in her heart made her a little upset, the appearance of this Zhao Caocheng was far more terrifying than the camp that appeared outside Shaoyang City. She couldn't imagine that once the war started, she would be like meat on the chopping board, and let the Southern Liang army chop it at will----

Zhao Cao, who was on the city wall, saw Yuan Ying leading his subordinates and slowly going back, he didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and immediately ordered his soldiers to prepare rolling wood and thunder stones, as well as bows and arrows and spears.

"All the people obey my orders and carry the prepared sandbags with them at any time to prevent the thieves of the Northern Wei Dynasty from using fire. Zhao Cao ordered.

"Yes, Lord Zhao!" the soldiers raised their sandbags one after another.

Zhao Cao saw that they were all in good spirits, and his heart was slightly relieved, he and these soldiers did their best, and within twelve hours, these two important city walls were built, thinking about the shock and resistance when he received the order, it became extremely ridiculous at this time.

"General Wei---- now I, Zhao Cao, really admire you, this is willing to gamble and lose, and I, Zhao Cao, admit defeat. Zhao Cao muttered.

After Wei Rui sent Fan Jun out that day, he summoned Zhao Cao and told him about this strategy, asking him to build this city overnight at dusk, taking advantage of the night, and he almost jumped up at that time.

"General Wei, how could it be possible to build that city overnight, even if the immortals descended to earth so quickly?" Zhao Cao's big eyes widened.

Wei Rui's excited expression at this time seemed to be on guard, and he waited for Zhao Cao to stop jumping before he said patiently: "Lord Zhao, can you and I make a bet?"

"General Wei, don't care what you bet on, in short, I, Zhao Cao, can't build such a city overnight. "Zhao Caodie didn't believe that he could build a city overnight.

"Lord Zhao, tell me why it's impossible?" Wei Rui asked calmly.

"General Wei, not to mention how difficult it is to build this city wall, just by transporting those things like dirt and sand and gravel over there, it is impossible to transport them overnight, how can such a city be built?" Zhao Cao thought of what Wei Rui said and felt that it was absolutely impossible to do.

"Lord Zhao, if this city can be built overnight, I will name it Zhao Cao City, what do you think?" Wei Rui said seriously.

"But General ---- Wei, I, Zhao Cao, really don't have that much ability, hey---- you can spare me, a rough man." ”

"Then let's make a bet, build this city in my way, whether you win or lose, this city will be called Zhao Caocheng, but this bet, I don't know if Lord Zhao is willing to give it?" Wei Rui asked with a smile.

"General Wei, let's listen, if I can do it, no matter what I lose to you, I will admit it. Zhao Cao replied with a serious expression.

"I have long heard that Lord Zhao has collected a few jars of good wine, on the day of the great victory of our three armies, can Lord Zhao endure the pain and cut his love, take out these jars of good wine, and reward the three armies?"

"Ah---- this ----" Zhao Cao grinned, this Wei Rui's idea was hit on his private collection of fine wine, and he couldn't hide it if he was reluctant to do so.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let me hear what kind of good idea General Wei has, which can build a city overnight?"

"Just now Lord Zhao mentioned a key problem, that is, the soil and sand and gravel needed to build the city, this is indeed the most needed thing for construction, if the soldiers transport these things over, it is quite a difficult thing, let alone build it again, it must be quite difficult. ”

"yes, I've already told you that. "Zhao Cao thought to himself that you understood it so well, and gave me a set.

Wei Rui stroked three locks of his long beard lightly and said unhurriedly, "What if you don't need to transport these things there at all?"

"How is that possible, how can it be built without transporting these?" Zhao Cao asked.
