- "Master, as soon as Cao Cao leaves, Puyang will become an isolated city. We should attack the city with all our strength as soon as possible and kill Liu Bei, this harmful man, before Cao Cao has enough food and grass to lead his troops back."
Zhuge Liang's resourcefulness and insight have been greatly improved, and he quickly understood Yuan Fang's thoughts.
Yuan Fang sneered: "Liu Bei fled from Qingzhou to Xuzhou, and then from Xuzhou to Yanzhou. He destroyed me wherever he went. I will never forget this hatred. This time, I must It won¡¯t kill him.¡±
Zhuge Liang immediately raised his head and said sternly: "Liu Bei is so despicable, and he always boasts about benevolence and righteousness. I have seen him disgusted. This time, I will definitely capture him alive and bring him to Master to vent his anger on."
Seeing Zhuge Liang's righteous indignation and generosity to vent his anger on his master, Yuan Fang was very pleased, laughed and nodded in approval.
¡°Alas~~¡±
Guo Jia sighed quietly, "It's a pity that Puyang is a fortified city. It won't be easy to capture it as soon as possible."
boom!
Yuan Fang slammed the case with his fist and said resolutely: "Even if Puyang City is made of copper and iron walls, I must capture it!"
Yuan Fang's order was passed down, and more than 40,000 troops were dispatched to Puyang. They quickly surrounded Puyang City and surrounded it with water.
This time, for the first time, Liu Bei did not abandon the city and flee, but sat and watched Yuan Fang besiege the city.
Yuan Fang guessed that this must be because Cao Cao had communicated with Liu Bei in advance before retreating, giving Liu Bei reassurance and giving him the confidence to stick to Puyang.
No matter whether Liu Bei has confidence or not, after the siege is over. Yuan Fang immediately ordered the army to come out in full force and attack Puyang from all sides.
The most intense siege battle since Yuan Fang's independence began.
The four gates of Puyang, the cannons and arrows shaking the sky, the arrows like locusts, the dead soldiers first, the elite soldiers trapped in the camp, all were put to use by Yuan Fang.
Every day, light consumes arrows. There are tens of thousands of them. The stone bullets fired by the Thunderbolt Chariot actually filled up the moats of Puyang City.
The January storm consumed countless ordnance. The soldiers suffered nearly five thousand casualties. However, Yuan Fang never conquered Puyang City.
Yuan Fang realized this. Puyang City is worthy of being the strongest city in Yanzhou. Cao Cao besieged Lu Bu here back then, if not for the betrayal of Wei Xu and others. Even Cao Cao could not capture Puyang.
At this time, in the Central Plains, the autumn grains in various states have generally fallen.
Good news came back from the rear. Qingxu Prefecture generally had a good harvest, and the fields managed by Guoyuan were even more prosperous, with millions of grains and grasses harvested.
The bumper harvest in Qingxu and Xuzhou is naturally gratifying, but according to the news from the south, the grain harvest in Yanyu is not as good as Qingxu, but it is still much better than last year.
This means that Cao Cao's shortage of food and grass will soon be alleviated.
Yuan Fang estimated that after Cao Cao raised enough food and grass, he would definitely make a comeback and go north again to save Puyang.
In order to prevent Cao Cao from going north, Yuan Fang sent Tai Shi Ci in advance and led 5,000 elite troops to garrison Changyuan City in the south to reinforce the city first to prevent Cao Cao from rescuing Puyang from the north.
With the removal of 5,000 elite troops, coupled with the attrition in battle, Yuan Fang's troops that could be used to siege Puyang City were reduced to more than 30,000.
With less troops, Yuan Jun's attack on Puyang naturally weakened a lot, and the pressure on Liu Bei was greatly reduced.
That evening, Yuan Jun failed to attack the city again. The army slowly retreated, leaving only corpses scattered outside the city.
On the top of the city, Liu Bei, who stood tall with his sword, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and raised a sarcastic sneer at the corner of his mouth.
"Young thief Yuan Fang, how many troops and horses do you have? Come and attack. I'll see how many soldiers you have to sacrifice." Liu Bei said disdainfully.
"This Puyang City was thickened under the supervision of Duke Cao himself. That little thief Yuan Fang wants to break through it, it's just wishful thinking." Wei Xu, who was on the side, echoed Liu Bei's sarcastic remarks.
After Cao Cao conquered Puyang and saw that the Puyang city was in ruins, he ordered the city wall to be doubled in thickness to prepare for emergencies.
Wei Xu had helped Lu Bu defend Puyang and was very familiar with Puyang city defense, so Cao Cao left Wei Xu in the city to help Liu Bei defend the city.
"Although Puyang City is strong, it will not be as stable as a rock without the command of the eldest brother." Guan Yu emphasized Liu Bei's contribution.
Wei Xu and others quickly joined in, praising Liu Bei's soldiers as gods.
Liu Bei became more and more proud, and after enjoying the praises of the generals, Fang sneered and said: "You and I will work together to defend Puyang. When Cao Gong completes the food supply and leads the army back north, we will cooperate inside and outside and defeat him in one fell swoop." That little thief Yuan Fang!¡±
Liu Bei's heroic thoughts inspired all the generals, and for a while, their morale was greatly boosted.
Liu Bei was happy today, so he decided to hold a small banquet in his mansion to reward the generals.
When they returned to the palace and the wine and meat were served, Liu Bei was unhappy.
The reason is that most of the dishes served are mainly vegetarian, with very few meat dishes, and those vegetarian dishes also look very stale.
Liu Bei was very dissatisfied, so he called Liu An, the chief officer in charge of food, and asked dissatisfiedly: "I rewarded the generals with wine and meat, why do you serve some low-quality vegetarian dishes without even much meat or fish?"
"Puyang was besieged, and most of the army's food and grass had been consumed. The young man also tried his best to make these food and drinks. Please forgive me, my lord." Liu An explained with a grimace.
Liu Bei's heart suddenly shook, and he suddenly remembered that the biggest problem he faced now was not to resist Yuan Fang's attack, but that he was running out of food and grass.
With his brows furrowed, Liu Bei sighed: "Okay, I don't blame you for this, go ahead."
The atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became dull for a long time. After a while, Liu Bei was in a bad mood and broke up the banquet.
All the generals retired, but Liu Bei left Guan Yu behind, wanting to sleep on the same bed with his brothers and have a long talk.
It¡¯s night without realizing it.
In the dim bedroom, candlelight flickered.
On the bed, Liu Bei and Guan Yu, both wearing only small clothes, were lying on the bed together with their knees in their arms.
"Yun Chang, you and I, brothers, haven't slept together for a long time. I really miss those days in the past." Liu Bei took Guan Yu's hand and said with emotion.
Guan Yu also held Liu Bei's hand tightly. But instead of feeling emotional, he asked: "Brother asked me to come and sleep with him today. Is it because he was upset about the food and grass matter?"
Liu Bei was startled at first, and then sighed: "No one knows better than Yun Chang. There is a shortage of food and grass in the city today, which will affect the morale of the army sooner or later. Once the morale of the army is shaken, it is unknown whether Puyang City can hold on." Count it.¡±
Guan Yu remained silent. Danfengyan is ever-changing. He frowned and thought hard about countermeasures for Liu Bei, as if he was worried about Liu Bei's worries.
After thinking for a long time, Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "Brother, the matter has come to this. We can only forcefully seize the grain and grass from the people and return it to the army. Only then can we ensure that the army will have endless food and grass."
Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and a flash of excitement flashed for an instant, but then. Then a look of pity and pity appeared on his face.
"The food in the people's homes is less than that in the army. If we collect it by force, wouldn't we be pushing the people to a dead end? How could I, Liu Bei, do such an unkind thing." Liu Bei couldn't bear to say.
But Guan Yu said sternly: "My eldest brother has the important task of reviving the Han Dynasty. If he makes any mistakes, he will miss the great righteousness. In order to take into account the overall situation, sacrificing small righteousness and fulfilling the great righteousness is also a last resort."
With Guan Yu's righteous words and Zuo's righteous words, he seemed to regard Liu Bei as the savior who saved the Han Dynasty.
Liu Bei remained silent and lowered his head silently, as if he had been moved by Guan Yu.
Guan Yu then advised: "Besides, we were forced to do this trick only because of the little thief Yuan Fang. If the people and the people in the world were to blame, they would only blame the little thief for being cruel, and how could they blame the elder brother?" head."
Liu Bei's expression became more and more shaken.
"Brother, those people sacrificed for the Han Dynasty. Their sacrifices were worth it. We have fulfilled them, so they should be happy. We should not be so benevolent as a woman. Please think again, brother." Guan Yu almost pleaded. said in a tone of voice.
After several times of persuasion, the hesitation on Liu Bei¡¯s face was gone.
He took a deep breath and sighed: "You are right, Chief Yun. I, Liu Bei, should not only care about my personal reputation, but also the country of the Han Dynasty. Let me do what you did in this matter."
"Brother is wise." Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Bei's anxious mood improved a lot. He held Guan Yu's hand tightly and said, "Yun Chang, I'm lucky to have you by my side to help me solve my problems. Otherwise, I don't know how to survive."
"Yu Zao said that I am the eldest brother in life, and the eldest brother in death. No matter how difficult it is, I will never leave my eldest brother." Guan Yu said seriously.
"Yun Chang~~" Liu Bei choked on his words, his eyes filled with tears, he was so moved that he didn't know what to say.
Guan Yu supported Liu Bei's shoulders and comforted him: "We brothers are united. If we can't overcome any difficulties, brother, don't worry too much. It's getting late, let's rest early."
The two brothers held hands and lay down supporting each other.
The dark room, with red candles swaying, was filled with deep brotherly affection.
¡¡
Late autumn has passed and the city is under siegeIt has entered its third month.
Although Liu Bei guarded the four gates of Puyang very strictly, and most of the soldiers and civilians who wanted to escape across the city were captured, there were still many lucky people who were able to escape across the city and escape from Puyang City.
Yuan Fang was surprised to learn from the mouths of these escapees what Liu Bei had done to the people in the city.
It turns out that since a month ago, Guan Yu and more than a thousand soldiers broke into civilian homes like robbers and plundered everything that the people could eat.
Once the rations that the people need to survive are taken away, they will die. Naturally, they will not hand over the food and grass happily.
In order to survive, the people had no choice but to resist.
However, Guan Yu adopted an iron-blooded policy and adopted violent methods. He would punch, kick, and even kill anyone who resisted.
How can the unarmed people stand up to a group of tigers and wolves? Not only will they be beaten, but all their food will be robbed.
Throughout the city of Puyang, the people were miserable, going to the extent of eating tree bark and catching insects, ants, and mice to satisfy their hunger.
"Liu Bei, this thief, keeps saying that he is benevolent and righteous, but he actually does such cruel and unkind things. It is really hateful and despicable!"
Zhuge Liang was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and cursed Liu Bei.
"People who always talk about the word 'benevolence and righteousness', their benevolence and righteousness are only for themselves, and they are often more cruel to others than anyone else." Yuan Fang snorted coldly, as if what Liu Bei did has long been commonplace.
Then, he turned his gaze to Guo Jia and said in a deep voice: "If we continue like this, even if we defeat Puyang, the people in the city will probably die. Fengxiao, do you have any plans to help me defeat Puyang quickly?"
Guo Jia frowned deeply and kept drinking. His thoughts were racing, thinking about ways to break the city.
After a long time, a gourd of wine was drained, and a hint of excitement finally flashed in Guo Jia's eyes. (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
