On the official road outside the Sword Pavilion City, the Yizhou army all stopped, and several generals quarreled endlessly.

Zhang Ren said: "Thinking that Xu Huang is a famous general in Guanzhong, how can he not know that the commander is the life of the three armies?" How could he really beat himself up? ”

"Although this matter is getting more and more fierce, I have always had a lot of doubts in my heart."

"Don't say that Xu Huang may not really be beaten with twenty military sticks, even if this is the case, Xu Huang practices martial arts every day, and his body is very strong, and he may not be hurt by this."

"As for being unconscious, it's a little unbelievable."

Regarding Xu Huang's coma, in fact, Zhang Ren and others have long had doubts, but the news from all aspects is conclusive about Xu Huang's coma.

As the so-called three people become tigers, even though several people had some doubts in their hearts at first, they listened to the detailed discussions a lot, so it is natural to think that this is the case.

But when Zhang Ren was about to leave the Sword Pavilion, he suddenly remembered a possibility and was immediately shocked.

Leng Bao asked a little strangely: "If Xu Huang is not unconscious, why did he release such news?" The soldiers and pawns were originally teachers from afar, if they heard that the Lord was going to be unconscious, wouldn't they be in chaos? ”

Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "If you look at the information sent back from the detailed work, you will find that Guan Zhongjun has not lost his square inch because the commander is unconscious. ”

"You must know that the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by Xu Huang are all real elite troops in Guanzhong, and they are extremely strong-willed, and they will definitely not be easily confused."

"Even if they learn that the main general is unconscious, they can still maintain a strong fighting spirit under the leadership of the deputy general Liu Bi and Yan Pu."

Deng Xian asked, "If Xu Huang really deliberately deceives and becomes unconscious, but for what?" ”

Liu Bi and Leng Bao also looked at Zhang Ren, wanting to hear how he explained.

Zhang Ren said: "I don't know Xu Huangzhi's specific plans, but I just have some guesses. ”

"First, he may use Langzhong as a bait to lure us and other leaders to attack. It must be known that Jiameng Pass and Sword Pavilion are both Xiongguan passes in the world, and if the Guanzhong Army wants to enter Shuzhong from Langzhong, they must first attack these two checkpoints. ”

"The two passes are easy to defend and difficult to attack, if we wait for a large army to garrison, it will be extremely difficult for the Guanzhong army to break through. On the contrary, if our army is led to Langzhong, it will be much easier to defeat our army first and then attack two passes. ”

When Liu Huang, Leng Bao, and Deng Xian heard this, they were first shocked in their hearts, and then Liu Xuan said: "Although Xu Huang is a general, he may not be able to think of so much, right?" ”

"What's more, we are by no means vain, even if we fight Xu Huang in Langzhong, we may not be defeated."

Deng Xian saw that Zhang Ren didn't seem to have finished speaking, so he asked, "What the general said is only one of them, but there are two of them?" ”

Zhang Ren took out a map, laid it on the ground with a solemn face, and then slowly walked his fingers on it, and finally landed in the center of Guanghan County.

When Deng Xian and the others saw Zhang Ren's actions, they all shouted: "This is absolutely impossible!" ”

The generals argued with red faces, and finally Zhang Renli overrode the public opinion and asked Deng Xian to lead 3,000 men and horses back to garrison the Sword Pavilion, but he, Liu Bi and Leng Bao led the rest of the Yizhou army and continued to kill Benlangzhong.

Although Liu Bi and the others didn't think that Zhang Ren's guess was correct, they were also worried that that something would really happen, so they still divided three thousand soldiers and horses to go out.

But they will definitely not give up the golden opportunity to attack Langzhong because of Zhang Ren's vague speculation.

Zhang Ren also knew that the fighter plane was fleeting, although he had some guesses in his heart, but he did not get the exact information in this regard after all.

Therefore, after sending Deng Xian to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison the Sword Pavilion, the rest of the army still moved forward according to the original plan.

……

After Zhang Ren led the Yizhou army to leave the Sword Pavilion, he bypassed the Jiameng Pass, and then went down the river along the Western Han River and rushed straight to Langzhong.

In Langzhong City, Liu Pi kept letting the soldiers out of the city day and night, collecting all kinds of strategic materials, and preparing to fight a difficult and excellent defensive battle.

"Stones, be sure to carry more stones to the top of the city wall; And the rolling wood, which must not be too little. ”

"Strengthen the city walls, and rebuild all the parts of the city walls that have fallen into disrepair."

"There is also the river of the moat, we must clean up the silt and ensure the smooth flow of water!"

Liu Pi kept instructing the deputy general and made a series of preparations for defending the city.

He may not have understood these methods of defending the city before, but after so many years on the battlefield, Liu Bi has also learned a lot of things.

Especially in the Taixue Military Branch, these things will often be explained, and Liu Bi will also go to the Taixue Military Branch to study in his spare time.

Theory and practice can make people grow rapidly, and Liu Pi is no exception.

"General, wells have been dug beside the four walls, and the newly made water tanks have been sealed and placed in the wells, as you have commanded, and those with sharp ears have been sent there to listen."

Liu Bi rubbed his brows, and said a little tiredly: "Next to each water tank, there must be at least five people. After the arrival of the Yizhou army, let them listen to the movements in the well day and night. ”

"Got it, General."

After seeing the man retreat, Liu Bi looked at the city that was already impregnable, and then he felt extremely relaxed.

These days, he has been preparing for defense almost without sleep, and when he relaxes, he suddenly feels a wave of fatigue welling up in his body.

"No, if it goes on like this, the city has not been broken by the Yizhou army, and I myself will be exhausted."

In the past, when leading troops to fight, the generals of Guanzhong went out together, and Liu Pi did not bother much, but he did not feel tired.

Because Xu Huang grasped the fighter this time and quickly dispatched troops to Shu County, it was too late to dispatch generals from Guanzhong, so Liu Pi would be left alone.

Only then did he realize the difficulty of leading an army.

The soldiers looked at Liu Bi's appearance and couldn't help but persuade: "Now that the defenses in the city have been perfected, the army should go back and rest for a while." ”

Liu Pi yawned greatly, looking at the mountains of stones and rolling wood on the city wall, and then his heart was a little relieved. He nodded slightly, and walked to the position of the county office.

After entering the inner room of the county office, Liu Pi did not take off his clothes and shoes at all, he lay down on the bed, and then began to fall asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, Liu Bi suddenly heard a noisy sound, hurriedly turned over and got up, and yelled: "What happened, please?" ”

Seeing Liu Bi wake up, the soldiers outside the door rushed in and said, "The Yizhou army has come to the city, and they are calling for battle outside?" ”

Liu Biyan was shocked when he heard this, and shouted: "Why didn't you call me up earlier?" ”
