The city gate has been opened wide, and mule carts loaded with grain and grass are entering Tancheng in a steady stream.
On the south road, more grain trucks stretch endlessly, with no end in sight.
On the top of the city, Liu Bei looked down at the trucks of grain and grass, with a proud sneer on his old face.
In Liu Bei's mind, he couldn't help but recall the scene when he went to the Mi family to propose marriage.
At that time, he was extremely polite and gave Mi Zhu enough face, but Mi Zhu didn't know what to do and dared to refuse.
Now, Mi Zhu is afraid of Liu Bei's power, surrenders, and obediently delivers food and grass to his door.
Liu Bei was very relieved. He finally vented most of the discomfort caused to him by the Mi family.
"That guy Mi Zhu is still afraid of his brother after all." Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said with a smile.
The corners of Liu Bei's mouth rose slightly, feeling a bit proud.
Zhang Fei even said wildly: "After defeating the little thief Yuan Fang, the eldest brother will forcefully marry a girl from the Mi family as a concubine. If Mi Zhu doesn't know what is good and what is good, and dares not to obey, the eldest brother will raze his Mi family to pieces." "
As soon as the matter of sister Mi Zhu was mentioned, Liu Bei felt unhappy, and a cold anger suddenly appeared on his face.
Jian Yong next to him said with a smile: "I heard that Mi Zhu's sister is named Mi Huan, and she is the most beautiful woman in Xuzhou. If the lord can marry her as a concubine, then Mi Huan can be regarded as a beauty matching a hero, and the lord can take advantage of the opportunity. With the Mi family under his command, and with the support of the two major families, who can compete with the lord for the position of state pastor?"
"Is she the most beautiful woman in Xuzhou"
Liu Bei narrowed his eyes slightly and licked his dry lips. There was a hint of reverie on the old face.
Lost for a moment. Liu Bei suddenly restrained his thoughts, regained his indifference and solemnity, and said loudly: "Now that the enemy is facing us, is it not the time to talk about the personal affairs of our children? We will talk about the Mi family later. The most important thing now is to repel Yuan Fang's cruel force. Thief, you can protect the safety of the people of Xuzhou and live up to my name of benevolence and righteousness."
Jian Yong said hurriedly: "My lord is right. Having a benevolent and righteous Lord like my lord is really a blessing to the people."
Guan Yuna said proudly: "Now that the Mi family is providing food and grass, we can rest assured about the army's food. Yuan Fang, that little thief, can't pull off his tricks. Sooner or later he will retreat without a fight."
Zhang Fang followed up and shouted: "As long as that kid retreats, we will pursue him while we are victorious. We will definitely kill him without leaving any trace behind, and avenge our previous shame!"
The subordinates were full of enthusiasm and their morale was extremely high.
Liu Bei laughed, stared in the direction of the enemy camp to the north, and said coldly in his heart: "Traitor Yuan Fang, this time. Not only will I destroy your reputation of being invincible, I will also steal Mi Huan, and I will ruin your reputation." , beyond redemption!¡±
Secretly gritting his teeth, the cold fire of revenge. It burst out on Liu Bei.
¡¡
It¡¯s night.
Qingzhou camp, the Chinese army¡¯s tent.
Eight huge torches. The big tent was illuminated brightly, and under the firelight, every person's face was filled with murderous intent.
In the tent, all the generals gathered together, and the geese lined up on both wings, all standing solemnly.
Yuan Fang summoned them at night to issue necessary and important orders. All the generals vaguely felt that a big battle was coming.
Steady footsteps sounded, Yuan Fang stepped in with his sword in hand, and Zhuge Liang followed closely behind him.
As soon as Yuan Fang entered the tent, he felt an aura of calmness and power, like a pair of invisible giant palms, making the generals feel an invisible sense of oppression. They all bowed their heads and did not dare to look directly at him.
Yuan Fang stood at the main position, glanced at the generals, and said loudly: "Everyone, tonight is the time for us to capture Tan City. I am giving an order now. All armies are preparing secretly. As soon as there is civil strife in the enemy city, they will follow me and take advantage of the situation to kill them." Go in."
There is civil strife in the enemy city?
All the generals were startled and looked at each other, all confused by Yuan Fang's words.
In order to prevent the secrets from being leaked, Yuan Fang only revealed the internal affairs of the Mi family to Yan Liang and a few others. Most of the soldiers did not know the inside story.
"My lord, Tancheng is Liu Bei's home base, how could there be civil strife for no reason?" Xu Sheng questioned.
Yuan Fang did not explain, but just shouted: "Mr. Mi, come in and say hello to everyone."
After saying this, Mi Zhu, who was waiting outside, hurriedly walked into the tent and bowed his hands to the generals present.
When Mi Zhu introduced himself to his family, all the generals were surprised. They all thought that Mi Zhu was so brave. He only helped Liu Bei with food and grass, but he dared to come to the camp. Isn't this asking for death?
What surprised the generals even more was that their lord seemed to treat Mi Zhu with courtesy and had no intention of blaming Mi Zhu at all.
With a look of surprise and suspicion, Mi Zhu smiled and said: "To be honest with you generals, I, Mi Zhu, have admired Yuan Zhoumu for a long time.He devoted himself to serving Yuan Zhoumu. I have sneaked more than 2,000 servants into Tan City under the pretext of offering food to Liu Bei. I will suddenly launch an attack tonight, seize the east gate, and help Yuan Zhoumu attack Tan City in one fell swoop.
The generals suddenly understood and looked at Yuan Fang with surprised eyes. Only then did they know why their lord had not moved his troops for several days, but seemed to be sitting firmly on the fishing platform. It turned out that he had already planned to defeat the enemy.
The Mi family is one of the three major families in Xuzhou, and the affiliation of the Mi family has greatly boosted the morale of the generals.
"It turns out that my lord has a clever plan, so what are you waiting for? Break through Tancheng and kill Liu Bei!" Xu Sheng shouted excitedly, pumping his fist.
The other generals, such as Ju Yi and Tai Shi Ci, were also extremely excited. Even Yan Liang, who had not known about it, was still shouting excitedly.
The originally depressed fighting spirit suddenly exploded like thunder.
Yuan Fang waved his hand and shouted sternly: "Everyone, go and prepare. We will break through Tancheng tonight and kill them all!"
The generals dispersed in excitement, each going to command his own troops.
The three armies had a full meal and slept in their clothes. Unexpectedly, it was already late at night.
According to the agreed time, Yuan Fang led more than 20,000 soldiers and reached the outside of the east gate of Tan City under the cover of night.
With the soldiers and horses in formation, Yuan Fangqian silently opened his telescope to observe the situation on the enemy city inside and outside.
I saw along the line of the city wall, one sentry every three steps, one post every five steps, and teams of patrols patrolling back and forth. It can be said that the enemy's security is quite tight.
Under such tight vigilance, Yuan Fang would not be able to succeed simply by attacking from the outside. Even internal response may not be effective if the number of people is too small.
"The big-eared thieves are still very good at defending the city. Fortunately, the Mi family has more than 2,000 people working as internal agents. Let me see how you can defend yourself"
With his eyes closed, Yuan Fang raised his head and glanced at the setting moon, and shouted in a low voice: "It's almost time, light the trumpet."
The order was given, and at the rear of the army, three piles of smoke and horns rose into the sky in the blink of an eye.
That was the agreed signal, telling the Mi family in the city that it was time to take action.
All the soldiers held their breath and stared in the direction of the enemy city with wide eyes. The young faces were full of eager blood.
After a while, the sound of killing suddenly started.
The sudden cry of killing came from the direction of the enemy city, instantly tearing the silence of the night apart.
The twenty thousand soldiers of Qingzhou immediately raised their hearts in their throats, and excitedly glanced towards the enemy city, but they only regretted that they were too far away from the city to see whether it was an internal action to seize the east gate.
Yuan Fang was not in a hurry at all. He opened his telescope again and easily observed the enemy's situation with super vision that ordinary people could not reach.
The city wall at the east gate of Tan City was already in chaos.
The Xuzhou defenders on the city were having a fierce battle with hundreds of men in black. The defenders were obviously killed and caught off guard, and the situation was quite unfavorable.
Yuan Fang's eyes moved further down, and he saw that the city gate had been opened. Through the door opening, he could see the figures fighting inside, and it was obvious that a fierce battle was going on.
Outside the city gate, a group of black-clothed soldiers waved their hands and shouted towards him, obviously recruiting his army to enter the city.
The Mi family should mobilize and seize the city gate successfully!
An excited smile appeared on Yuan Fang's lips. He suddenly looked back and said loudly: "The Mi family should have captured the city gate. The whole army will attack and enter Tan City for me!"
The three armies were invigorated, and the fighting spirit that had been accumulated for a long time was like a flood from a broken embankment, rushing out in an instant.
¡°Kill¡ª¡ª¡± Yan Liang shouted violently, jumped on his horse and brandished his sword, and rushed out first.
Generals Taishi Ci and Xu Sheng also rode out to kill the generals. Twenty thousand soldiers lined up and moved towards the enemy's open gate like a tide.
With a firm grip on the skull-crushing stick, Yuan Fang clapped his horse and rushed out with fierce killing intent.
Twenty thousand troops rushed into Tancheng unstoppably.
At this time, the Xuzhou Army along the city line was still fighting with the Mi family tribe, and a large number of reinforcements were also coming here after hearing the news.
Although the Mi family succeeded in a sneak attack, their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the regular army. They were gradually at a disadvantage and could only desperately hold on to the city gate without losing it.
The arrival of Yuan Fang's army completely reversed the situation.
The Qingzhou warriors, who were like tigers and wolves, roared and rushed towards the shocked enemy, ruthlessly slashing out with their swords and spears, and harvesting the enemy's head.
On the front line of the east gate, more than a thousand Xuzhou troops were caught off guard by Yingwaihe's attack here. They could no longer resist the situation and were defeated one after another.
Yuan Fang's army, no longer blocked, rushed into the city and went straight into the hinterland of Tan City to kill.
After rushing out dozens of steps, I saw a street turning around the corner.The soldiers and horses were none other than Guan Yu, who was in charge of patrolling the city. After hearing the news, he led his army to come for reinforcements.
But Guan Yu was a step too late. He looked up and saw a large number of Qingzhou troops pouring into the east gate like a tide. His red face suddenly changed dramatically.
"How could the enemy break into the city so quickly?" Guan Yu was so shocked that he was stunned for a moment.
Yuan Fang, who was rushing towards me, had already spotted Guan Yu. He sneered and shouted: "Where is Yan Zizheng? Behead Guan Yu for me!"
Yan Liang, who was bathed in blood, felt that killing soldiers was not enough, so he gave Yuan Fang a drink, and suddenly he found Guan Yu.
The murderous intention on his face was as ferocious as fire, and Yan Liang roared wildly, galloping on his horse, wielding the Green Dragon Sword, and killed the shocked Guan Yu.
Yuan Fang has taken off his bow and is ready to open his telescope and shoot Guan Yu at will.
In the previous battle, Yuan Fang could not defeat Yuan Fang alone, but was forced to retreat. Guan Yu's self-confidence had been deeply hurt by Yuan Fang.
Seeing Yan Liang appear now, Guan Yu was shocked. The humiliating scene where Yuan and Yan worked together to shoot him and take away his Qinglong Sword flashed into his mind.
Guan Yu never expected that today, he would be unlucky enough to encounter Yuan Fang and Yan Liang once again joining forces to kill him.
Once bitten, twice shy!
Guan Yu, whose expression changed with shock, did not dare to attack him at all, so he patted his horse and turned around and ran away.
