Cao Zhen found that Cao Pi's face was wrong, and looked at Cao Pi with a worried face: "Your Majesty...... You ......"

Cao Pi waved his hand, silently untied the water bag on his horse, rinsed his mouth, and then asked Sima Yi: "Zhongda, do you think if you continue to use the return cannon to attack, will it be effective?" ”

Sima Yi sighed and said: "I know the autumn in a leaf, last night Weichen bombarded it with a return cannon for a night, and he could only wipe some dirt down, and other than that, not even a crack appeared. This city wall is three or four zhang thick, and if you continue to attack, I am afraid that it will really respond to what Liu Chan said, and it is to send him ......"

Cao Pi's face suddenly sank when he heard this, and he was silent for a long time before he said, "Let's go back to the camp first!" ”

The return cannon had no effect on the street pavilion city, and Cao Pi, who had no choice but to lead his troops back to the camp.

After Cao Pi retreated, Liu Chan and the generals went out of the city and came outside the city to check the extent of the damage to the city wall.

Wei Yan stood at the head of the city, looked at the city wall, and not only sighed: "This cement concrete is really powerful, solid as a rock, last night the Wei army bombarded the artillery all night, and only hit some potholes." ”

"Yes, with this street pavilion city, the Wei army will not be able to march into Longyou, this city is much better than the camp."

"If only there was a street pavilion city, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many brothers dead."

The generals also began to talk about it.

Liu Chan said to the generals: "Jieting City is blocked at the Longshan crossing, and if the Wei army wants to march into Longyou, it must conquer Jieting." Now it has been confirmed that the Huihui cannon will not work on Jieting City, and the Wei army has only one way to go.

However, the terrain outside Jieting City is narrow, and even an attack is very difficult, which means that there will be no danger in Jieting, and a small number of soldiers and horses can also block the Wei army. Therefore, I decided to send troops to Tianshui tomorrow, join up with Da Sima, and go to attack Liangzhou!

Specific matters, the advanced city is discussing. ”

Although the city was built, it was only a four-sided city wall, and there was not a single house in the city, and the soldiers were all camped in the city.

In the big tent of the Chinese army.

A group of civil and military officers sat down.

Pang Tong got up and said: "Your Majesty, Jieting City is impregnable, and it is five zhang high, although Cao Pi transferred troops from other places, but the terrain outside Jieting City is narrow, although there are many soldiers and horses, it is difficult to use it.

Even though Wei has 100,000 soldiers and horses, our army only needs to leave 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jieting and send a good general to garrison it, and it is impossible for the Wei army to conquer Jieting. In this way, you can lead other soldiers and horses to Pingliang Prefecture. ”

"What Sikong said is very good!" Liu Chan nodded and said: "Deng Ai used more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to resist the Wei army's 50,000 soldiers and horses for more than half a month, and destroyed half of the enemy. Now that there is Jieting City, it is easier to defend, Deng Ai, I still let you command 10,000 troops to garrison Jieting, what do you think?

Zijun, you still stay as a lieutenant general, and assist Shizai. ”

Deng Ai got up and arched his hand and said: "The last general will not disgrace his mission, and the street pavilion will be foolproof." ”

"The last general commands!"

Liu Chan nodded, he could trust Deng Ai and Wang Ping's ability, and now that he had a city, Lin Yuan didn't have to stay here.

Pang Tong said again: "Your Majesty, although General Deng led 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard the street pavilion, it is foolproof, but there is still one place that has to be guarded." ”

Liu Chan said without thinking: "Sikong refers to stability? ”

Pang Tong nodded and said: "Yes, Anding is connected to Guanzhong, although there is Liupan Mountain as a danger and the road is steep, but there are thousands of soldiers and horses." And the leader is Yide, after all, he is old, and his personality is impulsive, if Cao Pi turns to attack Anding, General Zhang is very likely to go to war with Cao Pi, so it is still possible for the Wei army to enter Longyou. ”

"That's a good point!" Liu Chan bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, I will send a letter to the third uncle, and ask him to come and attack Liangzhou with me." Another 20,000 soldiers and horses were sent to Mao Xu (Zhang Baozi), so that he could lead the army to settle down, so that there were nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses in stability, and they could be guarded according to the danger, but there was no public opinion! ”

Pang Tong smiled when he heard this: "Mao Xu not only has the courage of General Zhang San, but also is resourceful, with him commanding 30,000 soldiers and horses to guard the stability, the Wei army will not do anything in the future, if you can send another general, it will be better." ”

In Jingzhou that year, Pang Tong and Zhang Bao had another cooperation, and Pang Tong couldn't be clearer about Zhang Bao's ability.

Liu Chan's gaze swept over the generals, and finally set his eyes on Ma Zhong and Huang Xu.

Liu Chan looked at the two and said, "Dexin, tomorrow you go to Linwei to replace Maoxu, garrison Linwei, and supply grain and grass to Jieting City." In addition, let Mao Xu rush to Anding to command the troops.

Zhengyang, you will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses tomorrow and go directly to Anding, and Mao Xu will ride lightly, and you can catch up with you on the road. After you arrive in Anding, let the third uncle go directly to Tianshui to join me, if he is unwilling, you tell him that there is no war in Anding, and let him follow me to Liangzhou to fight. ”

"No!" The two of them surrendered their orders.

Liu Chan finally announced: "I will also lead my troops to Tianshui tomorrow, and all the other generals who have not been appointed will go with me, so go down and prepare quickly." ”

"No!"

On the other side, the Wei army camp.

Cao Pi's face was a little pale, and he sat on the main seat, while all the generals below lowered their heads and were silent.

Cao Pi looked at everyone and asked, "Don't you have any way?" Just watched Liu Chan go to Liangzhou, and watched Dawei lose the city and lose the land? ”

The reward said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, the street pavilion city is blocked at the Longshan crossing, the city is five zhang high, the terrain under the city is narrow, and the city is impregnable, and the return cannon can't work, if you want to take the street pavilion city, I'm afraid it's ......."

Cao Pi muttered: "When my reinforcements arrive, 100,000 soldiers and horses will storm the street pavilion, can you take it down?" ”

Jiang Ji shook his head and said: "The street pavilion is tall and strong, the terrain under the city is narrow, although there are 100,000 soldiers and horses, they can't be used, and the return artillery can't work, and the siege equipment such as cave houses and rushing cars can't play a role."

And I see that the gate of the street pavilion city is not a wooden gate, but a gate gate, so it is even more difficult to take it down, even if there are only 10,000 defenders in the street pavilion city, and I have 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack, it is a loss, but I am afraid that it will ......."

Before Jiang Ji finished speaking, Cao Pi waved his hand: "I don't want to listen to these words now, what I want is to recapture Longyou, and now Liu Chan is about to attack Liangzhou, and I don't want to find a way, when Liu Chan pacifies Liangzhou, those soldiers and horses under Zhuge Liang will free up their hands, and there will be no possibility of retaking it to the west of Liupan Mountain." ”

When Sima Yi heard this, he finally walked out and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the street pavilion can't be conquered, so the only way to enter Longyou is to go to stability, according to the scout's report, now Zhang Fei has led 10,000 soldiers and horses to take stability."

Zhang Fei has an impulsive personality, if the soldiers and horses turn to fight stability, they can march to Longyou, but they are stable and mountainous, the roads are steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, some time-consuming, and Liu Chan is also very likely to send troops to support. ”
