Although Cao Cao had a smile on his face, his slender eyes shimmered, and he had been paying attention to the changes in Chen Deng's face. Feeling Cao Cao's gaze, Chen Deng trembled slightly, and hurriedly withdrew the little thought in his heart. Later, Cao Cao and Chen Deng discussed his plan for a while, but as for Guo Jia, he was silent on the side, and he was secretly looking at Chen Deng.

Half an hour later, Chen Deng withdrew from the hall according to the order, and the smile on Cao Cao's face was slightly restrained, and he asked Guo Jia in a condensed voice.

"Feng Xiao, 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 post of pastor of Xuzhou, which should also be considered from his loyalty, talent, personality, family background and so on.

"Chen Yua

The dragon is resourceful, has a good way to govern the army, and the Chen family is a big family in Xuzhou, which is deeply supported by all generations and governs Xuzhou. However, this person has always put the interests of the clan first, loyalty and righteousness second, and after Xuzhou is stabilized, the lord still needs to secretly exploit the power of his Chen line, and beware of letting the Chen family dominate. ”

Guo Jia's face was calm, and he quickly said his analysis of Chen Deng one by one. Cao Cao had great trust in Guo Jia, and Guo Jia was one of the few strategists who could make Cao Cao obey his words.

"Hmm. Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, 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 someone to inform the generals of all departments early that the whole army was ready to march to Longquan County.

Cao Cao has always been vigorous and resolute in raising troops, to noon, each team of soldiers and horses are finished with the whole army, Cao Cao to Chen Deng after explaining some arrangements for Xuzhou state affairs, then led 30,000 soldiers and horses to Longquan County gallop away.

Cao Cao led 30,000 soldiers to march into Longquan, and a few days later, Liu Bei's scouts detected Cao's army and hurriedly reported to Liu Bei. Liu Bei listened, although he had expected it, but it was inevitable that he was still shocked and anxious, and urgently ordered the soldiers to strengthen the garrison, and called Pan Feng, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici and other generals to make their own arrangements.

Two days later, 30,000 Cao troops were already in the four mountains of Longquan County, each camping. Cao Cao did not rush to attack Longquan, but ordered each battalion of soldiers to defend the various passes in Longquan County, and cut off the water source flowing into Longquan.

On the other side, Liu Bei originally thought that Cao Cao's army would take advantage of the situation to attack, and he had already dug a deep ditch under the city, built a high base, and prepared for battle. What he didn't expect was that Cao Cao couldn't come out, Liu Bei was very jealous of Cao Cao, and thought that with Cao Cao's ability, the more he behaved abnormally, the more dangerous he became. Therefore, Liu Bei sent several scouts to explore outside the city, and then the scouts came to report that Cao Cao had ordered the soldiers to guard the passes of Longquan and cut off the water source. When Liu Bei heard this, he was shocked, and immediately understood Cao Cao's intentions. Cao Cao wanted to cut off his food and water, and besieged Longquan City to death!

Cao Cao has 30,000 elite soldiers, far more than Liu Bei, and Cao Cao not only has extraordinary wisdom and strategy, but also has a strategist Guo Jia who is known as a ghost genius by his side, Liu Bei did not dare to act rashly and sent troops to attack. But if he does not take any countermeasures, it will be like sitting and waiting for death, and when the water and food stored in the city are exhausted, whether it is his soldiers and horses or the people and foreign races in the city, the people will be panicked, and even accidents will occur.

Liu Bei had nothing to do, so he called Mi Zhu and Sun Qian to ask for advice. Mi Zhu and Sun Gan's abilities may only be second-rate among first-class strategists, and in the face of such a dangerous situation, they really racked their brains, and they couldn't come up with a plan.

Liu Bei looked at Mi Zhu and Sun Qian, with bitter, painful, and hesitant looks, and immediately knew that the two of them were also helpless. Liu Bei felt quite sad, lamenting the injustice of God, looking at all the princes in the world, there are super-first-class strategists under his command, such as Tian Feng and Fu Zhu around Yuan Shao, Guo Jia and Jia Xu around Cao Cao, Xi Long around Wen Han, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang around Liu Biao, Zhou Yu around Sun Jian, and so on. These princes, with the assistance of these super-first-class advisers, expanded their power faster and faster, and gradually accumulated the foundation of the power to conquer the world.

Liu Bei asked himself, there is no shortage of generals who are good at fighting, his righteous brothers Pan and Zhang, and the fierce general Tai Shici, all have the martial arts of taking the head of the enemy general from the army. For Liu Bei, what he can't wait to need is a super-first-class strategist who can determine the overall development for him. It's a pity that this person never appeared. And Liu Bei is about to face a catastrophe at the moment, and it is still unknown whether he can escape.

Cao Cao's soldiers and horses surrounded Longquan County, and it was difficult for a fly to fly through the pass guarded by his heavy troops, and Longquan County was cut off from water. As the days passed, the atmosphere of unrest in Longquan County was filled, and the people in the city complained, and some of the natives who had made an agreement with Liu Bei to assist him in garrisoning Longquan even showed signs that they were about to turn to Cao Ying.

What made Liu Bei helpless was that he didn't dare to remove these restless elements, as long as he ordered Pan Feng and Zhang Fei to strengthen patrols and watch these natives. During this period, Zhang Fei had a hot temperament, and had several disputes with these natives, and even a few times Zhang Fei almost beat them, but fortunately Pan Feng stopped them in time. Otherwise, I am afraid that at this time, the natives in the city have already fought with Liu Bei's soldiers and horses.

Grain and water is the foundation of everyone's survival, ten days later, the food and water accumulated in Longquan County is about to be exhausted, the people of Longquan are fierce by nature, and there are many young men who form groups to grab the grain and grass in Liu Bei's military camp. This can infuriate Zhang Fei, who has been holding back his anger, Zhang Fei heard that the soldiers came to report, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and was angry, without saying a word, he picked up the Zhangba snake spear and rushed out of the tent.

"Who dares to grab food!! I asked your grandfather Zhang about the spear in his hand first, is it okay!! ”

Zhang Fei was like an angry black panther, swinging his spear into the crowd of natives, and several natives were even more bold, even picking up the wooden sticks they brought, and shouting at their tribe to meet Zhang Fei. Which of these natives are Zhang Fei's opponents, Zhang Fei roared violently, like a thunderbolt, which suddenly frightened the natives for a while, and then when he reacted, Zhang Feizhang's eight snake spears had already been squeezed, and several spears flew and stabbed, killing one person with one spear, and killing all these natives who rushed for a while.

Those local people who were still looting grain and grass saw that their people were killed, and their eyes immediately turned red, and while shouting their clan language, they rushed towards Zhang Fei in groups. Zhang Fei held this fire for a long time, at this time it can be said that it was unbearable, Zhang Fei raised the eight snake spears, his legs flew and kicked, the eight snake spears danced impermeably in his hands, splashing blood rain, I saw Zhang Fei as if he had entered a no-man's land, and those natives who pounced on Zhang Fei were killed by Zhang Fei and had no power to fight back. Zhang Fei swept or beaten, and every time he made a move, he injured a large area, and more and more villagers fell around, wailing constantly.

More than a dozen villagers waiting outside the camp saw that Zhang Fei was extremely brave, and hurriedly rushed back to the alleys in the city to inform the clansmen. Soon, more and more natives, armed with sticks, hoes and other weapons, rushed to the military camp in the city.

Zhang Fei was killing with great strength, seeing that there were more and more local people coming, but he was not afraid, but he had a great momentum to kill them to the point of blood, and rushed towards the position with the largest number of people. And Liu Bing in the camp, seeing that these local people were arrogant, also aroused his temper, and more and more soldiers followed Zhang Fei to kill the local people.

"Third brother!! Don't stop it yet!! ”

Suddenly, a huge and majestic figure, like a giant beast appeared behind Zhang Fei, only to see that the giant man was so strong that the three men were as huge as combined, the giant man suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Fei's shoulder with one hand, and his strength was so great that Zhang Fei couldn't move.

"Second brother!! If these natives rob us of the military rations in our battalions, if we don't teach them some lessons, I am afraid that they will become even more lawless in the future!! ”

There are very few people with this great power in this world. Zhang Fei immediately knew that the person who arrested him was Pan Feng, and turned his head and shouted angrily. Pan Feng squinted his huge eyes, his eyes were intimidating, and he didn't answer, and he suddenly pulled Zhang Fei back several big steps with one hand. Zhang Fei was so angry that he screamed, and his whole body exploded, wanting to struggle forcibly. Zhang Fei is also born with divine power, when he was a butcher, he could lift five huge fat pigs in one hand, Zhang Fei struggled, and saw that he was about to get rid of Pan Feng, and at this moment another loud cry sounded.

"Third brother!! You want to trap my brother and me in a place where there is no place to be buried!! ”

There seemed to be a magic force in the voice of the person who was drinking, which could make Zhang Fei, who was in a state of rage, stop struggling, and at the same time, Liu Bing, who was around, also stopped fighting and slowly retreated a few steps.

In this world, there is only one person who can stop the fiery temper 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 angrily, although Zhang Fei did not struggle, he was still full of resentment.

"Brother, it's not that my brother is arrogant, but these Diao people are really deceiving, there is not much food left in the army, and our sergeants are fighting bloody battles here to protect their families and protect the people, but these Diao people don't know what to do, so they came to the barracks to grab military rations!"

"Shit! Although Longquan County is barren here, it is precisely because of this that there are few wars. If you hadn't committed a big crime and fled here for refuge, Longquan County would have been surrounded by Prime Minister Cao's soldiers and horses, and now Prime Minister Cao Cheng has also guarded all the gates of Longquan County with heavy troops, and cut off all water sources. You have harmed ordinary people such as us, with no food to eat and no water to drink, and you dare to accuse us of stealing food in turn! ”

In the crowd of the local people, an old man with a stern appearance and a high position who knew at a glance suddenly shouted. As soon as his voice fell, the voices of the local people immediately resounded, all of which were accusing Liu Bei and other sergeants. The more Zhang Fei listened, the more angry he became, and he was about to roar again, but was stopped by Liu Bei's vicious look.

Liu Bei stepped forward, walked ten meters away from the local crowd, and bowed his hand.

"Linggong is angry. The difficulty of Longquan is indeed born because of my Liu Xuande, and it is difficult for Liu to escape the blame for bringing the military disaster here. But please also ask the villagers to believe that Liu, Tao Gong was indeed not killed by Liu, but it was actually a crime added by Cao Mengde. Liu received the will of Tao Gong and took over Xuzhou, if he lost Xuzhou, he would go to the underworld in the future, and what face would he have to face Tao Gong under Jiuquan. At this point, Liu would rather die than fulfill Cao Mengde's ambition and give up Xuzhou.

Liu knew that the people took food as the sky, how could he dare to make the villagers and elders starving. Come on, give 20 loads of food to all the villagers! ”

Liu Bei condensed and said, completely benevolent and righteous, hearing that Liu Bei was willing to share the grain, the cold resentment on the faces of the surrounding people suddenly decreased a lot, although they were not afraid of fighting with the soldiers, but the ants still stole life, who would not cherish their lives. However, for the soldiers on Liu Jun's side, Liu Bei's words were like a thunderbolt, which made almost all the soldiers change their complexions. Zhang Fei couldn't help but exclaim.

"Brother!! At present, the army's food stock can only last for less than ten days, and if it is divided into twenty loads!! ”

"Shut up!! The commander of our army, the military order is like a mountain, who dares to discuss it, cut it down!! From today onwards, the state capital, including me Liu Xuande, will only eat one meal, and the rest will be supplemented by the army!! ”

Before Zhang Fei finished speaking, he was pushed back by Liu Bei's angry roar, and Liu Bei's words immediately moved all the officers and men in the army. Liu Bei would rather starve himself and his family and his entourage to make up for the food shortfall, Liu Bei is the head of an army, but he is willing to sacrifice for the soldiers under his command, and his benevolence and righteousness moved all the soldiers present.
