Qin Ming led many shield bearers in front to resist the rain of arrows shot from the city, while Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, Zhang Qing, and Yang Zhi led 5,000 foot soldiers and carried sacks filled with dirt to charge behind.

"Ah~"

A series of screams showed that Liu Bei's archers would not be vegetarians.

"Hurry, hurry, rush!" Yang Zhi dragged the invincible golden knife, the sack on his shoulder, and rushed forward.

The sack became Yang Zhi's shield, with many arrows stuck in it.

Knock knock~

Thump~

Wu Song and the others still rushed to the moat with sacks, threw them hard, and made a lot of splashes.

Bags of dirt were thrown into the moat, making the otherwise peaceful moat noisy.

More and more sand was thrown into the moat, and soon the river was full.

There were also those who set up flying ladders across the moat and rushed to kill the Luo soldiers who passed by.

Many generals under Luo Gan's command were thrown into battle, especially those Liangshan Evil Stars who were directly involved in the battle.

On the contrary, the super fierce generals of Bian Xiang and Shi Wengong did not directly participate in the battle, but commanded the soldiers to attack the city in the back.

Zhang Shuye, Seed Master Dao, Xu Huang, and Shi Wengong commanded the army to fight on all sides, but Luo Gan himself was relatively relaxed, riding a horse to watch the battle at the North City Gate.

After a day of fierce fighting, Luo Gan's army successfully destroyed all the defenses outside the city of Xudu.

The moat was flattened, the deer village and the like were also destroyed, and the only thing that stood in front of Luo Gan's army was the city gate and the city wall.

"Mingjin retreats!"

Luo Gan saw that Liu Bei's defenders' defense was not weak, and his own army and horses had also lost two or three thousand people, and the army was a little tired, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

……

"Lord, you need to guard against other princes to save Liu Bei, after all, Liu Bei has the Son of Heaven in his hands, but he can promise too much delicious food to attract other princes. You should be careful. At present, the people who can threaten our army are none other than Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Liu Biao. Guo Jia reminded in the camp, and then gave advice.

"Liu Biao is indecisive, he can directly send someone to intimidate, if he dares to help Liu Bei, the lord's 100,000 army will go directly south to capture Jingzhou. In addition, he bought Jiaozhou Fangla and ordered him to attack Jingzhou. Cao Cao was busy conquering the annexed states, but he also had to guard against his sudden attack, so he could send a few generals to guard the passes of Yanzhou, Jizhou and Sanfu. In sending envoys to provoke Liangzhou Han Sui Ma Teng to attack Cao Cao again. As for Sun Ce, his Jiangdong sailors are very powerful, and they should be careful to curb the Yangtze River waterway, set up more beacon towers, and suppress the Jiangdong people and horses in the south of the Yangtze River. They must not be allowed to cross the river. Guo Jiadao.

Guo Jia's words are reasonable, it is likely that Liu Bei sent people to these princes for help before, and simply sent envoys himself.

"Feng Xiao is responsible for doing it. To deal with Sun Ce, in fact, you can also send assassins. It's just that I don't have any assassins under my command, so forget it, just spend a lot of money to buy the Jiangdong assassins. or funded the family disciples who were wiped out by Sun Ce in Yangzhou to assassinate Sun Ce. Luo Gan thought that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Ce was assassinated by Xu Gongmenke.

In the expansion of the territory, the princes will inevitably damage the interests of many people and produce many enemies. Luo Gan has also encountered assassins over the years, but basically those assassins were taken down by the guards before they could get close to Luo Gan.

Even if there are a few powerful ones who broke through the guards and approached Luo Gan, they were also solved by Luo Gan personally, and the super fierce general level is not a joke.

"My lord, the thunderbolt I built only needs to be adjusted to be used for siege." Liu Ye confidently recommended his thunderbolt.

"Okay, I'll ask Bian Xiang to lead people to cut down more trees and build more thunderbolts." Luo Ganxi said.

If you summon some artillery to come out, you will directly bombard Xu Du.

Wu Yong suggested: "We can send Shi Qian into the city to see if we can contact some people who oppose Liu Bei to be our internal response." Or spread some rumors in the city, saying that Liu Bei's generals plan to defect to us and betray Liu Bei in order to disturb their military morale. ”

"That's fine." Luo Gan said approvingly.

Chen Gong suggested: "If you want Liu Bei to ask for help from other princes, you can send someone to pretend to be reinforcements to rescue Liu Bei and take the opportunity to attack Xu Du." ”

Brainstorming, no matter whether it works or not, the strategists began to make various plans, and whichever strategist proposed, Luo Gan will let whoever is responsible.

On the second day, the army under Luo Gan set out to storm the city of Xudu.

At the same time, thunderbolt trucks and tunnels were dug at the same time, and messengers from all walks of life were sent to various places.

Shi Qian also relied on his unique light skills to blend into the city and began to make trouble.

In short, if you want to kill Liu Bei, you just have to kill it.

……

Liu Bei's side annexed Song Jiang, and after a year of development, the strength is still good.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zeng Kui, Dong Ping, Chen Xizhen, Chen Liqing, Lu Lingqi, Zuo Mou, Liu Min and other generals guarded the town, and there were two great strategists Jia Xu and Liu Huiniang.

This battle may not be so easy.

……

Xiangyang, Jingzhou.

Liu Biao met with Liu Bei and Luo Gan's envoys successively, and also understood their requirements.

Liu Bei's envoy recruited Liu Biao to send troops to King Qin in the name of the Son of Heaven, and he also thought that everyone was surnamed Liu, and they were all relatives of the Han family, so they couldn't let Luo Gan, an outsider, be bullied.

Luo Gan's envoy is very simple, if you Liu Biao send troops, you will directly transfer the troops and kill Jingzhou.

"Luo Gan beats Liu Xuande, do we have to send troops to rescue the driver? Let's talk about it! Liu Biao summoned the military officials under his command and said.

"Troops should be sent to the rescue. If the lord can defeat Luo Gan and usher in the Son of Heaven, then the lord can support the Han family and command the world. As for Luo Gan's threat, don't pay attention to it, once our army defeats Luo Gan, how can he still be our opponent. Kuai Liang suggested.

"No, no, Luo Gan led 100,000 troops to attack Xudu, Liu Bei is in danger, before our army arrives in Xudu, I'm afraid the Son of Heaven will fall into Luo Gan's hands. What's more, Na Luo Gan destroyed Yuan Shu, killed Lu Bu, defeated Yuan Shao, and retreated Liu Bei, invincible. Such characters should not be easily opposed. "The Iraqi people opposed supporting Liu Bei and felt that Luo Gan was too strong.

"Hmph, I have an army of 200,000 in Jingzhou, and I am still afraid of him as a Luo Gan, if he dares to come to attack my Jingzhou, I will capture him alive." Cai Mao patted her chest and boasted, but as soon as she finished speaking, she immediately changed her tone.

"However, I, Jingzhou, am not afraid of him Luo Gan, but I don't have to consume grain and grass in order to rescue Liu Bei and damage the life of the sergeant. Now the Son of Heaven is just a puppet, and how many people obey the holy decree issued, even if the lord gets the Son of Heaven, what can he do? It's better to ignore it, and you don't want to help. What's more, Fang La of Jiaozhou has always been eyeing my Jingzhou, and he still needs to be on guard, and he can't participate in the battle in the north. Cai Mao was in charge of Jingzhou's military power, but he only wanted to maintain the Cai family's status and interests in Jingzhou, but he had no ambition to expand.

"Let the envoy go back and tell Liu Xuande, my Jingzhou soldiers can't leave Jingzhou, if he is not against Luo Gan, then come to my Jingzhou, as long as I protect him in Jingzhou, I don't let Luo Gan mess around in my Jingzhou." Liu Biao is about to be sixty years old, and he doesn't have a few years to live, and he just wants to guard his Jingzhou.

In Yangzhou, Shanyue was in turmoil, and Huang Zu threatened Jiangdong again, so that Sun Ce did not have a chance to attack Luo Gan in the north.

Cao Cao was busy with the affairs of merging states and Liangzhou, and the east was occupied by Luo Gan, but he had been planning to develop westward, and Liangzhou was his important target.
