Chapter 317: The Fallen Mother
Because the first three times of recruiting the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai were too smooth, Liu Bei went to Shouguang County this time, and he didn't even bring basic siege equipment such as cloud ladders and rushing cars, but just led the field troops to go directly to persuade him to surrender.
As a result, I didn't expect Guan Hai's hard bone to not pee on him.
Liu Bei's painstaking persuasion, empathetic smile and emotional speech were a fart in Guan Hai's eyes, and there was no possibility of touching his heart at all.
Obviously, because the first three persuasions were too smooth, it had aroused Liu Bei's pride - Xuan Degong was a little too much of a dish.
He seemed to feel like he was really helped.
The idea is very beautiful, the reality is very cruel, Guan Hai was on the city tower, and a strong arrow shot directly into Liu Bei's shoulder socket, proving truth and atheism with his actions.
Liu Bei fell down and dismounted at that time, but fortunately, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hurriedly rushed forward, supported left and right, and snatched Liu Bei from the front line at the last moment.
Liu Bei was injured, the three armies were shaken, and he was arrogant here, thinking that persuading Guan Hai to surrender was simply captured, so he didn't bring the ordnance to attack the city, and in desperation, he could only return defeated.
After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Guan Hai, the yellow turban thief with extremely no eyesight, proves that there is no such thing as perseverance in this world.
A group of people came to see the injured Liu Bei, but saw Liu Bei lying on a stretcher, without armor, between the shoulder socket and the chest, a thick white cloth was bandaged, it seemed that the arrow was really almost fatal.
Tao Ying was behind and muttered: "Guan Hai, this guy is really a tough guy!" When you encounter Xuande Gong, you won't surrender. ”
When a sentence came out, Liu Bei's face couldn't help but turn red.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glared angrily at Tao Ying.
The potter raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Tao Ying dissatisfied, and criticized: "Second brother, don't say cool words, it's rude." ”
But while criticizing, the potter quietly gave Tao Ying a thumbs up.
Tao Ying didn't react a little, is this praising him or scolding him?
The potter turned around and said to Liu Bei with concern: "Xuande Gong has suffered. ”
Liu Bei lost too much blood, his face turned a little pale, and he said ashamedly: "If you are ready for a while, and you don't listen to the persuasion of Tao Gongzi, you will have today's humiliation, shame and shame...... Alas, this time it's arrogant. ”
The potter was stunned and said strangely: "When did I persuade you?" ”
Liu Bei smiled faintly: "Gongzi is really a sincere person, a true gentleman, and he doesn't take credit for anything...... Before preparing to go out to manage Hai, didn't the son say to Bei that he should rest? Alas, now that I think about it, it is indeed a good word from the bottom of my heart! I'll listen to you from now on. ”
The potter coughed lightly and said, "Xuande is almost brave...... There are also saves. ”
Liu Bei sighed, looking quite lonely.
Tao Shang suddenly said tentatively: "Tao thinks that Xuande Gong has the posture of heaven and man, and your ability to persuade surrender is unparalleled in the world, and it is very likely that you have not played well this time...... Otherwise, when the injury is healed, Xuande Gong might as well persuade Guan Hai to try again? ”
Liu Bei looked at the potter resentfully, not knowing what to say.
If you look at it, is it really that tiger?
Behind Liu Bei, Zhang Fei said: "Brother, I see that what Tao Gongzi said is reasonable, the eldest brother has persuaded three Yellow Turban Qu Shuai in a row, but he is the only one who has planted a heel in Guan Hai!" spread it out and make others laugh, but you should continue to persuade him to get this face back. ”
Liu Bei pondered for a long time, and then said quietly.
"Third brother."
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "What's the matter with the eldest brother?" ”
"Next time we talk about things, can you step down first."
"No......"
Kong Rong was a little anxious at the moment, and hurriedly said: "Several, don't care about it for the time being, the problem is that the Yellow Turban Army's Guan Hai occupies Shouguang County, and even Xuande Gong can't surrender, but what should be done about this matter?" ”
Liu Bei lay on the stretcher and said weakly: "This matter is easy, prepare to come here from the plains, the trip is in a hurry, and I have never brought siege ordnance, I am willing to borrow the ordnance in the Beihai arsenal of Kong to use, within three days, the city will be broken!" ”
When Kong Rong heard this, his expression looked a little embarrassed.
Although Kong Rong has also reorganized the army in recent years, due to the lack of generals, there is no clear plan, over the years, a hammer in the east, a stick in the west, recruited more soldiers but not enough training, more food but not enough ordnance, inside and outside, even a complete set of siege ordnance has not been put together.
Hearing Kong Rong's condition, Liu Bei was immediately stunned.
The siege ordnance is insufficient, so it's a fart!
Even if the city of Shouguang County is not high, but the number of Yellow Turban soldiers under Guan Hai is quite a lot, and there are five or six thousand people who can go into battle.
After pondering for a long time, Liu Bei said to Kong Rong: "Until now, the only way to do this is to order the craftsmen to step up the production of siege ordnance, and only after the ordnance is complete, can they attack the city." ”
This is the only way to do it right now, and everyone agrees with it.
Kong Rong looked at the injuries on Liu Bei's body, and secretly said that even if the armament was complete, with Liu Bei's current injuries, it would be difficult to go out to manage Hai for a while, and only after his injuries were completely healed could it be possible to recapture Shouguang County.
Just as everyone was discussing, they suddenly saw a horse galloping out of the city, heading straight for Kong Rong's direction.
When he was young, the man came to the front, and the person immediately turned over, knelt down directly at Kong Rong with a "poof", and said with tears in his eyes: "Kong Beihai, please also send troops to Shouguang County quickly!" Save my mother! ”
The person who spoke was none other than Tai Shici.
Kong Rong saw that Tai Shi Ci was like this, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said strangely: "Ziyi, hurry up, I have something to say...... Why are you doing that? ”
Tai Shici wiped his tears, stood up with Kong Rong's support, and said, "I heard that Guan Hai of the Yellow Turban Army led a group of thieves to attack Shouguang County!" My mother went to Shouguang Province last month and temporarily lived in Shouguang County, so I really didn't want to encounter such a change! Now that the city is seized by thieves, the old mother is trapped in the city, life and death are unknown, and I beg Kong Beihai to send troops as soon as possible, and I am willing to be a pawn for Kong Beihai to pacify the Yellow Turban bandits in Shouguang County! ”
Listening to Tai Shici's words, Kong Rong's face showed embarrassment, and then he told him about the lack of siege weapons in the city and Liu Bei's injury.
After Tai Shici listened, he was stunned and stood on the spot.
Liu Bei was invited to Beihai County by Tai Shici, and he knew him, and at this moment he also persuaded: "Ziyi, Beiguan you are also a person who knows the soldiers, you need to know that ten are to surround it, five to attack it, now Guan Hai occupies Shouguang County, and there are a lot of troops under his command, if there is no sharp weapon to attack the fortification, there is no reason to break the city, and Bei is negligent for a while, and he is hit by Guan Hai's arrow, and he can't go out for a while...... After the weapons are all assembled, the injuries are healed, and I should personally lead the troops to break through Shouguang County and rescue Ziyi's mother, how about it? ”
Tai Shi Ci looked sluggish and muttered, "How many days will it take for the ordnance to be completed?" ”
Liu Bei estimated the time and said, "If you do your best, within fifteen days, you will definitely succeed!" ”
"Fifteen?" Tai Shi Ci smiled bitterly.
There are too many variables on the 15th, if the Yellow Turban Army is on a whim during this period, because of the lack of military rations, the army slaughters the city, what should happen to the safety of the old mother?
But Tai Shici is also a person who has been familiar with the art of war since childhood, so he naturally knows that what Liu Bei said is true, and it is not a prevarication.
The lack of armament and the forced attack on the county town guarded by five or six thousand people are undoubtedly self-defeating.
What's more, Liu Bei was also seriously injured.
As a result, Tai Shici fell into a dilemma.
Kong Rong and the others comforted Tai Shici, and then hurried into the city to discuss the construction of engineering ordnance.
And Liu Bei was also carried into the city to recuperate from his injuries.
But the potter was not in a hurry, he stood quietly in place, observing Tai Shici, who was sad and almost desperate.
Guo Jia seemed to see that the pottery merchant wanted to talk to Tai Shici again, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Haven't you had enough white eyes?" ”
The potter smiled and said: "Perseverance, perseverance, dripping water through stones, perseverance, is the motto of Tao's life." ”
With that, he walked towards Tai Shici.
Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders and muttered in a low voice, "Shameless to die." ”
The potter walked up to Tai Shici and said, "Brother Ziyi, your heart is burning? ”
Tai Shici was discouraged at the moment, and he was in no mood to give the potter a blank eye, so he said lightly: "You came to make fun of Yu?" ”
The potter frowned: "Am I that kind of person?" ”
Tai Shi Ci didn't say anything.
The potter sighed and examined himself: "Okay, I'm that kind of person...... However, I'm really not here to make fun of you now, I have a way to help you conquer Shouguang County and rescue the old lady. ”
Tai Shi Ci didn't react at first, but then it dawned on him.
He turned his head to look at the potter in surprise and said, "You, what did you say?" I didn't hear clearly. ”
The potter coughed lightly and said, "I said, I can help you rescue your mother." ”
After saying this, Tai Shici's expression suddenly became excited: "You, are you serious?" ”
"Seriously!" The potter nodded heavily.
Tai Shici's face was overjoyed, and he wanted to give his hand to thank him, but he suddenly thought of something, and put down his hands stupidly, looking in a dilemma.
Obviously, Tai Shi Ci was very resistant to accepting the favor of the potter.
Tai Shi Ci's hostility towards himself could be felt as early as when the potter stepped into the territory of Beihai, but he didn't know why?
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the potter felt that it was time to figure it out.
"Ziyi, Tao has something unclear, and he is tired of teaching."
Tai Shi Ci let out a low "um", which was counted as an answer.
"Ziyi seems to be quite hostile to me, but Tao and you have never intersected, I came to Beihai County this time, and it should be the first time I have met Ziyi, right? Why on earth do you want to add me to be a traitor? ”
Tai Shi Ci pondered for a moment before he spoke: "Could it be that you really don't know? ”
