In the next two days, Liu Bei did not suffer a crazy counterattack as Wei Hong expected, but Liu Bei seemed very calm.
However, the calmer he was, the more pressure Wei Hong felt, as if the calm before the storm made him feel breathless.
Three days have passed, and the water source in the city has been exhausted, and the people's hearts have been somewhat uncontrollable.
"Envoy, come down, hold on any longer, don't say that the people in this city are soldiers, and they can't hold on" Just yesterday, a general said to Wei Hong.
Wei Hong did not hesitate, and with a swing of his sword, he killed the general on the spot, temporarily deterring the generals, but he knew that doing so was just to stop the boiling of the soup, the water source was cut off, and no amount of tricks could make up for it, there were only two ways in front of him, Kaicheng surrendered, or fought to the death with Liu Bei.
It is impossible to surrender in Kaecheng, when the tiger prison was closed, the princes were in alliance, and Liu Bei's brothers could rank at the end of the princes because of Cao Cao's words, originally Liu Bei was very close to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's account, and there were many contacts, but Liu Bei didn't know himself, but he wanted to make friends with himself.
Even if the Wei family declines, it is also among the scholars, and even if Liu Bei is swaggering everywhere with the name of King Jing of Zhongshan, he can't change his lowly status as a weaver and a seller of shoes, and what qualifications do he have to make friends with him was ruthlessly lost face by Wei Hong, although Cao Cao came forward to mediate, but the relationship between the two sides has since cooled down, Wei Hong has never thought that he is at fault, even if Liu Bei has come to the city today, and the city is about to be broken, Wei Hong still looks down on Liu Bei, let alone let him surrender to Liu Bei, isn't that a slap in the face As for going out of the city to fight, it is no different from looking for death, so Wei Hong can only defend to the death, looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements, this is Chen Liu, Cao Cao's hinterland, even if Cao Cao's main force is all drawn out, there should be soldiers and horses around to be mobilized, maybe as long as he holds on for a few more days, there will be a turnaround.
It's just that Can it really hold on?
Sitting in his mansion, Wei Hong did not go to the city, this morning, the water source in the city has been completely cut off, even if he does not leave the mansion, Wei Hong can feel the restlessness and uneasiness of the entire city is constantly expanding.
Wow The sound of hurried footsteps came to mind, and a guard ran in with a panicked look on his face: "Lord, Liu Beijun has done it" "Oh" Wei Hong raised his head, but at this moment, he calmed down a lot, looked at the guard and said, "But Liu Bei broke the city" "It's not."
The guard shook his head, handed a palm-sized piece of bamboo paper to Wei Hongdao, and said: "Since just now, Liu Bei has led people to shoot these things at the head of the city with arrowless arrows, and now the army has begun to mess up. ” When Wei Hong heard this, he took the bamboo note, spread it out and looked at it carefully, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was a little bitter.
Waving his hand and signaling the guards to retreat, Wei Hong sat down on the seat a little dejectedly, looked at the sky in front of him blankly, gurgled a few times in his throat, and finally couldn't hold back, spit out a mouthful of reverse blood, and his face became languishing.
Seeing this, several family members of the "Envoy" couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Wei Hong.
"Go, go, go" Wei Hong waved his hand and shook off everyone, staggered to his feet, with a wry smile on his face, and looked at everyone: "Chen Liupo is broken, the Wei family is also finished, so let's run for your life." ” When the family members heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
"Get out" Wei Hong drew his sword violently, looked at everyone, and shouted.
The families finally began to flee one after another.
In the city of Chen Liu, there was gradually chaos, even Liu Bei didn't expect that Chen Liu's water source would be exhausted so quickly, a series of book arrows were shot over, Chen Liu's morale completely collapsed, the first to mess up, was the city wall, although there were not many literate people, but after all, there were still some.
The content on the bamboo paper is not complicated, Liu Bei is unwilling to attack, causing the people to suffer, but Chen Liu, he is determined to win.
Maybe it's because Liu Bei can't bear to do it to the people, maybe it's the situation that the city is out of water, which makes people feel desperate, in short, not long after the arrow was shot, the city wall was the first to be opened, at first it was only a small section, but immediately after, it began to spread rapidly to the entire section of the city wall, Liu Bei didn't even launch a strong attack, the city gate had been opened.
This time, there was no ambush again, Liu Bei quickly entered the city, while ordering the soldiers to quickly control the important places, while ordering people to open the sluice gates and release water into the city, now that Chen Liucheng is broken, there is no need to cut off the water anymore, and letting go of the water source will also help the recovery of the people's hearts.
"Wei Hong's child, don't come out and die soon" Zhang Fei carried a black horse, holding a snake spear, like a god, with a violent momentum, asked where Wei Hong was, and then took a group of wolf-like soldiers towards Wei Hong's mansion.
"Third brother, don't be reckless" Liu Bei wanted to hold Zhang Fei when he saw this, but Zhang Fei had already walked away with his people.
Liu Bei was a little helpless, and hurriedly summoned Zhang Yang and said: "Order the soldiers of the three armies not to infringe on the people" "Nuo" Zhang Bing agreed and took the order, while Liu Bei hurried in the direction of Wei Hong's mansion.
After all, there is a kind of salted fish turning over, wanting to see what kind of face this person who looked down on him in the past, and now he will see each other, Liu Bei is a little looking forward to the scene of Wei Hong kneeling on his knees and begging for mercy.
It's just that before he was halfway there, he saw the location in the center of the city, and suddenly the fire was in the sky, and a wave of heat could be felt even if it was far away.
Frowning, Liu Bei had some bad premonitions, and hurriedly rode his horse and galloped, and soon came to the outside of Wei Hong's mansion, but saw that at this moment, the entire Wei family had been shrouded in a sky-high flame, Zhang Fei took a group of soldiers outside the mansion, and they were jumping like thunder.
"Yide" Liu Bei rode over, looked at the sky-high flames of the Wei family, and then looked at Zhang Fei, who was thundering, and frowned: "What happened?"
"Big brother" Zhang Fei said with a sullen face: "It's Wei Hong's house, I heard that the city was broken, drove away all the subordinates in the mansion, and then set fire to the entire Wei Mansion, even his wife and children didn't let go."
When Liu Bei heard this, a blank suddenly flashed in his heart, and the previous feeling of relief dissipated in an instant, and all that was left was dazed.
Are these scholars willing to die with their whole family rather than bow to themselves?
The original complacent mood fell into a depression for a moment, looking at the growing fire and the faint screams in the flames, Liu Bei didn't know what he felt in his heart at the moment, he was dazed and lost, and there was an indescribable depressing atmosphere.
Originally, he had already broken off the idea of asking the court for the identity of the clan, but suddenly it became strong again, no matter what, he had to get this clan identity The fire in Weifu is still burning, but the situation in Chen Liu is gradually stabilizing, and there is not much time left for Liu Bei to be sad, while posting a notice to the people, while sending someone to send a message to Chen Gong, Chen Liu has been down, now it is time to use troops to the entire Chen Liujun, this time in order to hit Cao Jun by surprise, in Dongjun and Chen Liu's two places at the same time, just wait for the two counties to stabilize, they will march to Changyi, enter Shanyang, when the time comes, Cao Cao's side, it is time to react, and the next is the struggle with Cao Cao.
Thinking of the original Tiger Prison Pass, the gathering of heroes, Cao Cao's demeanor of pointing out the country and talking and laughing with the princes from all walks of life, Liu Bei's heart was born with an indescribable sense of excitement, the last time they met, Cao Cao was the existence he needed to look up to, but this time, it was the host and guest in a different position, as long as this battle was won, the relationship between the two sides would have to turn around.
In the few days intercepted, Liu Bei sent people to occupy Chen Liuzhong County, while arranging new officials to take office, from the beginning of Youzhou's army, Jian Yong, who had been following him, was arranged by Liu Bei to be Chen Liutaishou to help him take care of government affairs, and at the same time, Sun Gan and other officials recruited from Beihai were also entrusted with important tasks by Liu Bei, these people are all old people who follow Liu Bei, and now Liu Bei has occupied a county, so it is natural to promote these old subordinates who have always been loyal to him.
In addition, there are also some talents from Yanzhou families recommended by Chen Gong for him, Liu Bei wants to gain a foothold in Yanzhou in the future, and the support of these families is indispensable, even if he has other thoughts in his heart, but at the moment, Liu Bei must rely on them to gain a firm foothold, even if the people recommended by Chen Gong, some people are overwhelmed, Liu Bei has to use them.
Five days later, the entire Chenliu County fell into the hands of Liu Bei, and at the same time Liu Bei also received good news from Chen Palace, Dongjun has been pacified, Liu Bei not only got the land of the two counties, but also collected the soldiers and horses of the two counties, plus what he brought before, as well as Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and others helped him recruit 20,000 horses, and now Liu Bei's soldiers and horses have approached 30,000, if you count the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou Thorn Shi Guo Gong, the two sides combined, there are 80,000 people.
Regarding the courage of Zhang Erjiang, the strategy of Chen Gong, and 80,000 soldiers and horses, Liu Bei's self-confidence rose again, and at this moment Cao Cao returned to the division, and Liu Bei also had the confidence to compete with Cao Cao.
However, another piece of news sent by Chen Gong shocked Liu Bei, Guan Yu had already led five hundred school swordsmen to attack Changyi ten days ago.
This news made Liu Bei can't help but change his color, Guan Yu will order the five hundred school swordsmen Liu Bei naturally knows, that is the only elite in Liu Bei's hands that can be used now, but no matter how powerful these school swordsmen are, that Changyi is also the seat of Shanyang County, no matter how there are two or three thousand soldiers and horses, with only five hundred school swordsmen, how can they defeat the other party The temperament of his second brother is just too arrogant. didn't have time to complain, Liu Bei hurriedly ordered Zhang Fei to lead the soldiers and horses to meet Guan Yu, the three brothers have been getting along day and night for the past ten years, and their relationship has long been better than that of their own brothers, and Guan Yu is also one of the few fierce generals under Liu Bei now, but he doesn't want Guan Yu to make any mistakes.
It's just that before Zhang Fei set off, Guan Yu's side had already sent a battle report, and Changyi was broken t1706231537:
