Compared with Puyang, the army led by Liu Bei and Zhang Fei on Chen Liu's side met with strong resistance, Chen Liu's place of Cao Cao's fortune, although with Cao Cao's promotion to Yanzhou pastor, the place of governance moved, but Chen Liujun as Cao Cao's place of fortune, is also the most stable place in the hearts of the people, Chen Gong will take this place as the first choice for the first round of trouble, and even let Liu Bei personally lead the army, in order to break Cao Cao's foundation.
Although the guard was killed by Zhang Fei in the first time, Wei Hong, who guarded Chen Liu, was a veteran who followed Cao Cao in the early years, and was also a local family, in Chen Liu, with a deep influence, Liu Bei entered Chen Liu, Zhang Fei picked and killed the guard, Wei Hong reacted immediately, and hurriedly closed the city gate, and at the same time said that the people were mobilized to defend the city.
"Big brother, this Wei Hong is too cowardly" Zhang Fei led his black horse back to the camp, looking at Liu Bei helplessly, he greeted the eighteenth generation of women of Wei Hong's ancestors outside the city one by one today, and Wei Hong couldn't help but not send troops.
Liu Bei stood in the big tent, looked at the map of Chen Liu in front of him, frowned, and said: "If you refuse to go out of the city to face the battle, then force him to go out of the city, and send an order to the three armies, surround Chen Liu, cut off water and food, and see how long he can support it." ” Wei Hong is a veteran of Cao Cao, from the time when the heroes fought for Dong, he was to devote his family to fund Cao Cao's uprising, and it was impossible to surrender, at this time he lost the opportunity, although Chen Liu's only a group of people defended the city, but Liu Bei was unwilling to attack, he knew very well that he was famous for his benevolence and righteousness, and if he attacked at this moment, he would break through Chen Liu, and he would also have a reputation for slaughtering the people.
Does fame matter It's important, it's important, but if it's not important, it's not important, Cai Yong's reputation didn't help him escape death in the end, but for Liu Bei, reputation is really important, especially when he doesn't have the illustrious reputation of the fourth and third princes like Yuan Shao, and he doesn't have Cao Cao's current strength, reputation is the only thing that Liu Bei can handle.
As for the identity of the Han clan, Kong Rong helped him to seek it from the imperial court, but was politely rejected by the Son of Heaven, Liu Bei knew that it was difficult to obtain the benefits of the identity of the Han clan before he had enough strength.
So Liu Bei cherishes his feathers even more, on his background, now any of the princes who are called all the way are stronger than him, on the official lord, until now, he has been the biggest is a plain county order, although now there is Chen Gong and the Yanzhou family to help, but this is also luck, Liu Bei is very clear, this is the Yanzhou family is using themselves, and now there seem to be thousands of troops under his command, but these are all false, as long as these Yanzhou families are unhappy, they can beat themselves back to their original shape at any time.
Don't look at Liu Beiwen's ability to stabilize the country, and martial arts can't immediately level the world, but his biggest advantage is that he can see himself clearly and know what he really has, and what he is virtual.
So he has been fighting the world since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, bumping and bumping all the way, although the mix is unsatisfactory, but his reputation is getting bigger and bigger, that is, Kong Rong is willing to make friends with him, not only because of the reason after King Jing of Zhongshan, but also because Liu Bei can be a man.
Even if Chen Gong came with selfish intentions at the beginning, in the end, he was willing to call him the lord, which is Liu Bei's own personality charm.
Although he has gained power now, Liu Bei has not swelled because of this, precisely because he can see why the Yanzhou family is willing to help him, so this time he came to recruit Chen Liu, Liu Bei did not kill as the Yanzhou family expected, and along the way, it is also the name of benevolence and righteousness.
At this moment, Chen left Wei Hong to defend the city with the people, and Liu Bei would rather besiege than attack, spending more time dealing with Wei Hong.
"But in this way, how long will it take to capture Chen Liu" Zhang Fei said a little anxiously: "Big brother, it's just some people defending the city, so they asked me to lead a team of soldiers to attack, and ensure that when the sun sets, I will be able to break through Chen Liu and take off Wei Hong's dog head."
"Yes, General" In the account, in addition to Zhang Fei, there were several Yanzhou generals recommended to him by Chen Gong, and they couldn't help but persuade one after another when they heard the words at this moment: "General, don't miss the opportunity" "Enough" Liu Bei snorted coldly, he has always been a good man and a humble gentleman, but at this moment, there is a majesty on his body, his eyes swept over Zhang Fei and the generals one by one, and said in a deep voice: "I know that you are sincere in your meritorious service, but the people would rather not be able to achieve hegemony, than step on the corpses of the people to take this land of Yanzhou, I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade again" Zhang Fei has followed Liu Bei for many years, and it was the first time he saw Liu Bei talking to him in such a heavy tone, and he didn't dare to say more, but a group of generals looked at each other, although they were ordered to come, but at this moment Liu Bei's words made them feel a little moved in their hearts, after all, these generals are all from Yanzhou, if it is not necessary, they are not willing to take action against the people.
"The general is benevolent and righteous, and the last general is willing to listen to the general's orders," the generals bowed and said.
Sighing, Liu Bei's expression eased, looked at the generals and said: "If you don't know the urgency of the military situation, but if you want to let Bei for your own future, you have to abandon the belief in your heart, but you don't want to do it. ” These generals, are all started last year, Chen Gong for Liu Bei recruited Yanzhou rangers, in the bones of the word Xinyi, these days, by Liu Bei's favor, Liu Bei also treated them like brothers, at this time heard the words, but showed a look of shame, several generals knelt on one knee, bowed and said: "What is the general talking about, if there is no general, I am so glamorous today, I can't wait, I am willing to swear allegiance to the general, if the general does not give up, I am willing to serve the general as the lord, and hope that the general will take it in." ” Originally, they just took money to do things, and some people promised them heavy profits and futures, because all the generals have always been commensurate with generals, but they are unwilling to serve Liu Bei.
Now Liu Bei's words make these rangers who have suffered from the eyes of the family feel respected and valued for the first time, but not all rangers can have a good background like Xiahoudun and Cao Ren, and now Liu Bei really treats them as people, not as minions and lackeys, just this is enough to make these righteous men really regard Liu Bei as the lord.
"Everyone, please hurry up" Liu Bei hurriedly stretched out his hand, helped everyone up, and said warmly: "It is a blessing to be able to get the help of the generals."
Zhang Fei looked at this scene in a daze, a little dazed, didn't he want to discuss the strategy of breaking the city, why did he suddenly feel that something was wrong "Yide" appeased the generals, and by the way, he accepted a wave of younger brothers, although Liu Bei's face was flat, he was quite excited in his heart, and in order to suppress his mood, he quickly turned his head to look at Zhang Fei.
"Oh" Zhang Fei reacted and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Order you to order 4,000 soldiers and horses, occupy the important land around Chenliu, dig up the moat, and cut off the water source in the city."
Liu Bei said indifferently.
"Nuo" Zhang Fei nodded, how could he think that this move was more ruthless than directly entering it, but he didn't want to ask much at the moment, so he hurriedly took the order and went to arrange.
"Zhang Ji" Liu Beifu looked at another general.
"The last general" Zhang Yang took a step forward and bowed.
"You find some bamboo paper, and write down the words of surrender, and after three days of siege, shoot bows and arrows into the city, saying that our army will inevitably forcibly attack the city, destroy the people, and do more killing in the near future, as long as the city surrenders, the army enters the city, and the people will not commit any crime in the autumn, and if there is anyone who is willing to sacrifice the city, a reward of thousands of gold."
Liu Bei thought about it and said in a deep voice.
"The last general received the order" Zhang Yang Wenyan, hurriedly agreed, and took the order.
"The rest of the generals, and set up a camp with me to prevent a sneak attack by Cao's army."
Liu Bei smiled and looked at the rest of the generals.
"The last general obeys the order" The generals agreed to the promise, and the momentum was much higher than before.
Chen stayed in the city, Wei Hong saw that Liu Bei began to set up camp, it seemed that he was not ready to forcibly attack the city today, and he was slightly relieved in his heart.
For most people, the name Liu Bei is very unfamiliar, but as a person who followed Cao Cao to participate in the alliance of princes, Wei Hong is very clear that this Liu Bei is by no means an idle person, not only the record of the three British battles against Lu Bu at the beginning, but also when attacking and defending the Tiger Prison Pass, although the three brothers did not have many people, they fought bravely.
It is precisely for this reason that after hearing that Zhang Fei broke through the Chen Liu's camp, Wei Hong's first reaction was not to go to the rescue, but immediately said that the existing forces in his hands shrank, closed the city gate, and made a posture of stubborn defense.
Although it seems that he is a little cowardly, but it turns out that his approach is correct, if he rescued the camp at that time, I am afraid that he would have just left the city and turned back to prepare Liu Bei's army outside the city to be completely extinguished.
Now Liu Bei adopts the style of besieging but not attacking, but Wei Hong is relieved, but what is followed is an unspeakable heaviness.
At the beginning, Liu Bei's three brothers had the intention to befriend him, but what kind of person was he Wei Hong, Liu Bei is no matter how capable he is, and he is just a weaver and a mat seller, what qualifications he has to make friends with him is just unpredictable, who would have thought that a pawn in the past could also have today's climate.
Now Cao Cao led the army to the expedition, and almost all of the main forces of the Cao army went to Xuzhou, at this time Chen Liu was besieged, and the situation in the rest of the counties and counties could not be counted on, even if Cao Cao got the news and returned to the army immediately, it would take more than a month.
What's worse is that Cao Cao took almost all the grain and grass he could take away on this expedition, and the surplus grain left behind could not last so long.
"Envoy, the thief army has retreated, let the monarch go to rest, here is the last general and others watching."
A Chen left-behind general came to Wei Hong's side and bowed.
"Hmm."
Wei Hong nodded, glanced at the direction of Liu Bei's camp worriedly, and sighed helplessly, this is only the first day, but I don't know how many days this Chen will be able to guard. t1706231537:
