Chapter 612: The Siege
Knowing Lu Bu's intentions in his heart, Zhang Miao frowned, obviously quite worried, this tiger under the city is not easy to deal with casually, but he said with a smile: "It's just a thief, why do you need to do it yourself." General Cao has already led the troops to recruit and suppress, and I believe that the good news will be delivered to Chang'an in a few days, and Da Sima can only wait in the imperial city. β
Between the words, Zhang Miao deliberately mentioned Cao Cao, wanting Lu Bu to retreat.
Lu Bu drew a sneer when he heard this, as if he didn't take Cao Cao to heart at all, and asked in an unkind tone: "What if I have to enter the city?" β
Hearing this domineering tone, Zhang Miao felt a 'chuckle' in his heart, and could only bite the bullet: "Da Sima, then forgive the officials for being rude." β
When today's son is set up by Dong Zhuo, a former national thief, it is not justified, and in the hearts of the Kwantung princes, he is just a puppet who has been manipulated.
It's just that the person who mentioned this wooden line has changed from Dong Zhuo in the past to Lu Bu today.
Seeing that Zhang Miao refused to give in, Lu Bu stroked the restless Chi Su under his crotch, and looked at the city again: "Brother Meng Zhuo, the one who knows the times is Junjie, do you think that just Chenliu County City can stop my tens of thousands of troops?" β
Since he chose to stand on the opposite side of Lu Bu, Zhang Miao at this time naturally did not retreat, but had a trace of confidence because of Fang Cai's decision-making.
He stood at the head of the city, bowed to Lu Bu, and said loudly: "Da Sima is famous, and Miao has been yearning for a long time. If I can fight with Da Sima today, I will not be in vain in this life, but I just ask Da Sima to be kind to the soldiers and people in the city after breaking the city, and do not want to be bloodied and slaughtered. In this way, even if I have knowledge under the spring, I can still look at it. β
Zhang Miao's words were extremely beautiful, and it seemed that he lowered his figure because of the soldiers and people in the city, but in fact, he was winning over the hearts of the people and letting the soldiers fight for him.
Sure enough, after the words landed, those rangers who were treated favorably by Zhang Miao took the lead in speaking out, and said aggressively: "Envoy, we are willing to assist you, and swear to guard Chen Liu!" β
"Swear to guard Chen Liu!"
The soldiers on the city tower also shouted in unison, and their morale was uplifted, and they were all moved by the benevolence and righteousness that Zhang Miao had just shown. Moreover, Zhang Miao also gives relief extensively on weekdays, and has been respected and loved by the local people.
Now that Lu Bu is leading a large army to come, and if he wants to break the city, they will not agree.
Zhang Miao's ignorance of current affairs annoyed many generals in the city.
"Lord, this Zhang Miao doesn't know what to do, and the last general will ask for battle!" Huang Zhong, who was behind Lu Bu's right, clenched his fists, and a pair of light brown eyes revealed a strong fighting intent.
"The last general is going to fight!"
"The last general is going to fight!"
For a while, more than a dozen generals behind Lu Bu came out to ask for their lives, wanting to take over the heavy task of attacking the fortification.
A touch of cunning flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, and he waved his hand, first rejecting the requests of these generals, and then pronounced out four names: "Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Lei Hu, Fang Yue." β
The four people who were named immediately perked up, and at the same time clenched their fists and responded: "The end will be!" β
"I and you and I will each have 4,000 men and horses, and we will guard the gates on all sides, south, east, and west, and no one will escape. If someone in the city leaks the news, they will be held responsible! β
Lu Bu sighed heavily and commanded.
"Command!"
The four of them responded, and then led their men and horses to the location of the city gates on all sides.
After dividing the soldiers and horses, Cao Xing, who was beside Lu Bu, scratched his head, a little foggy: "Boss, what about us?" β
Lu Bulema turned around, and no longer went to Zhang Miao on the upper floor of the city, and said with a smile: "Go back to camp and go down to the village, and prepare to bury the pot and make rice." Wait until tomorrow, and then let someone come and change guards with the four of them. β
"This doesn't make any sense at all, if Zhang Miao doesn't come out when he dies, isn't it a waste of food if he continues to consume it like this?" Cao Xuan muttered in a low voice, in his opinion, instead of consuming each other like this, it is better to directly fight head-to-head and fight a wave, and cut the mess with a quick knife.
"General Cao, the thoughts of the lord are unfathomable, and it is beyond you and me to guess!"
Xiao Ji walked next to Cao Xing, laughed, and slapped Lu Bu's ass without a trace.
In fact, he had already guessed Lu Bu's thoughts, which can be summed up in four simple words: encircling points and sending reinforcements.
If it is a frontal attack on the city, it will inevitably cause a large number of casualties among the soldiers on both sides, which is not a situation that Lu Bu wants to see, and his intention this time is not only in Chen Liu.
Cao Xuan didn't understand this, but he didn't bother to think about it.
In his heart, as long as Lu Bu said something, it must be right!
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is already half a moon.
In the past half a month, the four city gates of Chenliu County were guarded by heavy soldiers sent by Lu Bu, and the people in the city were not allowed to leave.
At this time, in the county guard's mansion, Zhang Miao was pacing back and forth in the council hall repeatedly, and the expression that appeared on his face was obviously quite anxious.
LΓΌ Bu has been besieging the city for half a month, but he has never taken the initiative to attack the city, but only changes the generals to guard the gates every day.
Looking at this posture, it seems that he wants to die with him to the end.
According to the statistics of the county's chief history, the grain and grass in the city can last for another three or four months at most. Now that the autumn harvest is imminent, if the people are not allowed to go out of the city to harvest grain and wheat, I am afraid that they will not survive this winter.
Zhang Miao was very worried.
"Envoy, Lu Bu is so fearless, it is nothing more than relying on the relevant middle land to give him a steady stream of food and grass. If we rob his grain channel, Lu Bu will definitely retreat without a fight! Ranger Rayong gave his advice.
Zhang Miao shook his head slightly, it was good to have this idea, but the feasibility was too low. Lu Bu has been in the army for more than ten years, and it is not the first time he has commanded the army, how could he make such a low-level mistake.
"You said it easily, now we can't even get out of the city gate, how can we rob him of his grain?" Someone refuted Rayong's proposal on the spot
"Then is it just like waiting passively until Lu Bu traps us alive in the city?"
Rayong glared at the man and asked sharply. Then he suddenly got up and hugged his fist at Zhang Miao and begged for his life: "Envoy, the villain is not talented, I am willing to lead the troops out of the encirclement and rob Lu Bu's grain road to relieve the danger of Chen Liu." β
Rayong is good at using long knives, quite powerful, and is very chivalrous in the Chenliu area.
However, when it comes to Chen Liu's famous ranger, there was such a famous figure a few years ago.
This man is burly and strong, in order to avenge his friend, he killed Li Yong, who was the head of Fuchun at the time, and then single-handedly killed the entire county, and the government sent hundreds of soldiers to chase and kill, encircle and suppress, but no one dared to approach.
So, I could only watch this person stride away.
However, I don't know where this man went, some people say that he died, and others say that he fled to the north to avoid trouble.
In short, there was no news.
Gradually, this has also become a story that has spread among the rangers of Chen Liu's generation.
As for whether it is true or not, it is difficult to verify.
