Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although Cao Cao was smiling, his slender eyes were sparkling and he was always paying attention to the changes in Chen Deng's face (Holy King.c) Sensing Cao Cao's gaze, Chen Deng trembled slightly and quickly put back the thoughts in his heart.  Then Cao Cao and Chen Deng discussed their strategy for a while. As for Guo Jia, he remained silent and kept secretly sizing up Chen Deng.

    Half an hour later, Chen Deng exited the hall as ordered. The smile on Cao Cao's face faded slightly and he asked Guo Jia Ning

    "Fengxiao, can this person be of great use?"

    Although Cao Cao promised Chen Deng a high position, it does not mean that Cao Cao will feel that Chen Deng is fully qualified for the position of Xuzhou Shepherd. This must also be considered in terms of his loyalty, talent, conduct, family background, etc.

    "Chen Yuanlong is resourceful and well-organized, and the Chen family is a big family in Xuzhou. He has won the support of all the family members. It is enough to govern Xuzhou. However, this person has always put the interests of the family first, loyalty second, and treats Xuzhou  After stabilization, the lord still needs to secretly exploit the power of his Chen family and be careful not to let the Chen family become dominant."

    With a calm expression, Guo Jia quickly explained his analysis of Chen Deng one by one. Cao Cao had great trust in Guo Jia, and Guo Jia was one of the few counselors who could make Cao Cao obey his words.

    "Well, what Fengxiao said makes sense. After Xuzhou is stabilized, I will gradually send civilian and military generals to Xuzhou to share Xuzhou's state affairs and military power."

    After that, Cao Cao and Guo Jia talked for a while, and then they went back to rest. At dawn the next day, Cao Cao sent people early to inform the generals that the entire army was preparing to march to Longquan County.

    Cao Cao has always raised his troops vigorously and resolutely. By noon, all the troops and horses in each group were fully organized. After Cao Cao explained some arrangements for Xuzhou state affairs to Chen Deng, he led 30,000 troops and horses towards Longquan County.

    Cao Cao led 30,000 soldiers to Longquan. A few days later, Liu Bei's scouts discovered Cao's army and reported it to Liu Bei. Liu Bei heard it. Although he had expected it, he was still frightened and anxious, and ordered his soldiers to strengthen their defense.  He also called Pan Feng, Zhang Fei, Taishi Ci and other generals to make arrangements.

    Two days later, 30,000 Cao Cao troops had already set up camps in the mountains around Longquan County. Cao Cao was not in a hurry to attack Longquan. Instead, he ordered soldiers from each battalion to guard various passes in Longquan County and cut off the water source flowing into Longquan County.

    On the other side, Liu Bei originally thought that Cao Cao's army was pressing down on the border and would take advantage of the situation to attack. However, he had already dug deep ditches and built high forts under the city, preparing to fight. What he didn't expect was that Cao Cao could not get out of the camp. Liu Bei was extremely afraid of Cao Cao.  Deep down, thinking about Cao Cao's ability, the more abnormal his behavior, the more dangerous he would be. So, Liu Bei sent several scouts to explore around outside the city. Later, the scouts reported that Cao Cao actually ordered his soldiers to guard Longquan.  At the pass, the water source was cut off. Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this. He immediately understood Cao Cao's intention. Cao Cao wanted to cut off his water and food, and surrounded him alive in Longquan City.

    Cao Cao has 30,000 elite soldiers, which is far more powerful than Liu Bei. Not only is Cao Cao's ingenuity and strategy extraordinary, he also has a counselor Guo Jia who is known as a genius. Liu Bei does not dare to act rashly and sends troops to sneak attack. But if he does not take any countermeasures,  Just like waiting to die, when the water and food stored in the city are used up, whether it is the soldiers and horses under his command or the native people and foreign races in the city, people will be panicked, and even something unexpected will happen.

    Liu Bei had no idea what to do, so he summoned Mi Zhu and Sun Qian to ask about their plans. Mi Zhu and Sun Qian were probably only second-rate to first-rate counselors. Faced with such a dangerous situation, he racked his brains and could not come up with a plan.  Policy

    Liu Bei looked at Mi Zhu and Sun Qian with bitter, painful and hesitant expressions, and immediately knew that there was nothing they could do. Liu Bei felt desolate and lamented the injustice of God. Looking at all the princes in the world, they all have first-rate counselors, such as  Tian Feng and Jushou by Yuan Shao's side, Guo Jia and Jia Xu by Cao Cao's side, Xilong by Wen Han's side, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang by Liu Biao's side, Zhou Yu by Sun Jian's side, and other princes, all with the help of these first-rate advisers,  Its power is expanding faster and faster, and gradually it has accumulated the foundation to dominate the world.

    Liu Bei asked himself, there is no shortage of generals who are good at fighting under his command. His sworn brothers Pan and Zhang, as well as the fierce general Tai Shici, all have the martial arts skills to take the heads of enemy generals from thousands of armies. But for Liu Bei, what he urgently needs is a man who can fight.  It is a pity that this first-class counselor who determines the overall development of the situation has never appeared and Liu Bei is about to face a disaster. Whether he can escape is still unknown.

    Cao Cao's soldiers and horses surrounded Longquan County heavily. It was difficult for a fly to fly past the heavily guarded pass, and Longquan County was cut off from its water source. As days passed, Longquan County was filled with an uneasy atmosphere, and the people in the city  Complaints abounded, and some of the native people who had made an agreement with Liu Bei to assist him in stationing Longquan even showed signs of being ready to surrender to Cao Ying.

    What made Liu Bei helpless was that he did not dare to clear out these restless elements. He only ordered Pan Feng and Zhang Fei to strengthen patrols to keep an eye on these native people. During this period, Zhang Fei had a hot temper and had several disputes with these native people.  There were even a few times when Zhang FeiFortunately, Pan Feng stopped them in time, otherwise the local people in the city would have started fighting with Liu Bei's troops.

    Food and water are the basis for everyone's survival. After ten days, the food and water accumulated in Longquan County will be almost exhausted. The local people of Longquan are naturally tough, and many young men form groups to rob Liu Bei's military camp of food and grass.  This angered Zhang Fei, who had been suppressing his anger. When Zhang Fei heard that the soldiers had come to report, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and became furious. Without saying a word, he picked up the Zhangba snake spear and rushed out of the tent.

    "Whoever dares to grab food must first ask your grandfather Zhang whether the sharp spear in his hand is accurate."

    Like an angry black panther, Zhang Fei swung his spear towards the crowd of natives. Several natives were so daring that they picked up the sticks they brought and shouted in different languages ????of their tribe to greet Zhang Fei and these natives.  The people were no match for Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei roared violently, like thunder exploding, which frightened the local people. When they reacted, Zhang Fei had already stabbed him with eight snake spears.  Several spears flew, one spear killed one person, and in a while, all the native people who rushed towards him were killed.

    The native people who were still looting food and grass immediately became red-eyed when they saw their own people being killed. While roaring their clan language, they rushed towards Zhang Fei in groups of five. Zhang Fei had been holding back his fire for a long time.  , at this time, it can be said that he has reached the point where he can't bear it anymore. Zhang Fei swung his eight-foot-long snake spear in one move and kicked his legs. The eight-foot-foot snake spear danced tightly in his hands, splashing with rain of blood. Zhang Fei looked like he was rushing into the infinite.  In the human realm, the native people who rushed towards Zhang Fei were killed by Zhang Fei and were unable to fight back. Zhang Fei either swept or hit him. Every time he made a move, he injured a large area, and more and more native people fell down.  Everywhere, cries continue

    More than a dozen native people waiting outside the camp saw Zhang Fei's incomparable bravery and hurried back to the alleys in the city to inform the tribesmen. Soon more and more native people, armed with wooden sticks, hoes and other weapons, swarmed towards the military camp in the city.  Come

    Zhang Fei was killing with all his strength. Seeing that more and more native people were coming, he showed no fear. Instead, he had the momentum to kill them until they were bloody.  Liu Bing, who rushed over and was in the camp, saw that these native people were arrogant and arrogant, and his temper was aroused. More and more soldiers followed Zhang Fei and killed the crowd of native people.

    "Third brother, why don't you stop quickly?"

    In a moment, a huge and majestic figure, like a giant beast from the wild, appeared behind Zhang Fei. The giant man was as strong as three men put together. The giant man suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Fei's shoulder with one hand.  , its power was so great that it caught Zhang Fei so hard that he couldn't move.

    "Second brother and other local people are robbing our camp of military supplies. If we don't teach them a lesson, I'm afraid they will become lawless in the future."

    There are very few people with such great power in the world. Zhang Fei immediately knew that the person who captured him was Pan Feng. He turned his head and shouted angrily. Pan Feng narrowed his huge eyes with a threatening look and did not answer.  With a sudden burst of strength, he dragged Zhang Fei back several steps with one hand. Zhang Fei screamed in anger, and all his strength exploded, trying to forcefully struggle. Zhang Fei was also born with supernatural power. When he was a butcher, he could lift it with one hand.  There were five huge fat pigs. Zhang Fei struggled hard and was about to throw Pan Feng away. At this moment, another loud roar sounded.

    "Third brother, you are going to trap my brother and me to death without a burial place."

    There seemed to be a magic power in the voice of the person who was speaking, which actually made Zhang Fei, who was in a violent state, stop struggling. At the same time, the Liu soldiers around him also stopped fighting and slowly took a few steps back.

    In this world, there is only one person who can calm down the fiery-tempered Zhang Fei with just a shout. That is his eldest brother, Liu Bei. Liu Bei's eyes were red and he glared at Zhang Fei. Although Zhang Fei was gone,  Struggling, but still full of resentment

    "Brother, it's not that my younger brother is arrogant, but these unruly people are really bullying people. There is not much food left in the army. We soldiers are fighting bloody battles here to protect our homes and people, but these unruly people don't know what is good and what is good. They come here."  The military camp robs military rations¡±

    "Shit Longquan County is desolate, but because of this, there are few wars. If you and others had not committed a serious crime and fled here to take refuge, Longquan County would not have been surrounded by Prime Minister Cao's troops. Now Prime Minister Cao will also  All the checkpoints in Longquan County were heavily guarded, and all water sources were cut off, leaving us and other civilians with no food to eat or water to drink, and you dare to accuse us of robbing food."

    In the crowd of native people, an old man with a dignified appearance, who could tell he had been in a high position all year round, suddenly shouted in a sharp voice. As soon as he finished his words, the crowd of native people immediately burst into voices of agreement, all of them accusing Liu Bei and others.  The more Zhang Fei heard the sergeant's words, the angrier he became. He was about to yell again, but Liu Bei stopped him with a fierce look.

    Liu Bei stepped forward and walked ten meters away from the crowd of native people, bowed his hands and bowed

    "The difficulty of Duke Ling's anger in Longquan is indeed caused by me, Liu Xuande, who brought the war disaster here. Liu cannot be blamed for it, but I would like to ask you fellow villagers to believe Liu. It is true that Duke Tao was not killed by Liu, but by Cao Mengde's delusion."  In addition, Liu is guilty of accepting Tao Gong's will to take over Xuzhou. If Xu??In the future, in the underworld, how can he have the face to face Tao Gong who is under the Nine Springs? Liu would rather die than fulfill Cao Mengde's ambition and hand over Xuzhou to him.

    Liu knows that food is the most important thing for the people, so how dare he let the villagers and elders suffer from hunger? He distributed twenty loads of grain to all the villagers and elders."

    Liu Bei spoke attentively, with a look of benevolence and righteousness. When he heard that Liu Bei was willing to share the food, the cold resentment on the faces of the surrounding local people immediately disappeared a lot. Although they were not afraid of fighting with the soldiers, but the ants still managed to survive, who could  He doesn't cherish his own life. But for the soldiers on Liu Jun's side, Liu Bei's words were like thunder. Almost all the soldiers' expressions changed drastically. Zhang Fei couldn't help but shouted in shock.

    "Brother, the food stored in the army can only last less than ten days. If we distribute another twenty loads,"

    "Shut up, commander-in-chief of our army. There are so many military orders. Whoever dares to raise objections will be executed. From today on, everyone in the state capital, including me, Liu Xuande, will only have one meal, and the rest will be provided to the army."

    Before Zhang Fei could finish his words, he was shouted back by Liu Bei. Liu Bei's words immediately made all the lieutenants in the army unmoved. Liu Bei would rather starve himself, his family, and his entourage than use the allocated food gap.  In addition, Liu Bei was the leader of an army, but he was willing to sacrifice for his soldiers. His benevolence and righteousness moved all the soldiers present.
