Gao Sheng in Jixian County thought that Li Yi was actually difficult to deserve under his reputation, and his continuous siege of the city gave him a chance to win, and the generals in Li Yi's army also did not understand Li Yi's approach.

No, Zhang Fei was complaining to Guan Yu.

"Second brother, what do you say the eldest brother is doing? If I were Lao Zhang, I would either not attack Jixian at all, or I would launch a fierce attack and go down with a drum. He is dispatched by the whole army every day, making it murderous, but every time he only sends one or two thousand people to attack the city, as long as the city counterattacks, he retreats, it is completely thunder and rain, and it is not enough to tickle the Yellow Turban Army in the city, how can he capture the city? ”

Although Guan Yu didn't understand why Da Li Pengfei did this, he still reprimanded Zhang Fei with a straight face: "Yide, what are you talking nonsense?" Isn't the eldest brother smarter than you, he doesn't understand this? Since the beginning of the army, has the eldest brother done anything unreasonable? Our army has been able to win many battles, defeat more than 200,000 Yellow Turban troops, and even kill Zhang Bao, which is not the result of the eldest brother's painstaking and strategizing? He must have a reason for doing this, we as brothers, we just need to do our best to cooperate with the eldest brother and do things according to his orders. ”

Zhang Fei was reprimanded by Guan Yu, and also felt that it was wrong for him to complain like this, so he said curtly: "I'm not complaining about the eldest brother, I just hate myself for being too stupid and can't help the eldest brother at all." I said Zilong, our four brothers, except for the eldest brother, you have the most ghost ideas, but you can tell me, what is the idea of the eldest brother? ”

Zhao Yun was said by Zhang Fei to have a lot of ghost ideas, so he couldn't help but be very depressed, and gave him a blank look, but he still said thoughtfully: "Yide, I don't know the true intentions of the eldest brother. However, judging from the current situation, we have no other way than the big brother's current countermeasures. Jixian County is high and deep, and the city guards are strong, more than three times the size of our army, not to mention that we do not have the ability to break through the city, even if it is taken by luck, the casualties will definitely be very large. And the eldest brother loves soldiers like children, and he is definitely not willing to let his brothers take their lives to fill in. However, Jixian is very important, and it is impossible for our army to abandon it. In this way, whether we attack Shanggu and Daijun in the west, or go south to Jizhou, we will leave huge hidden dangers. I think the eldest brother is hesitating now. ”

Listening to Zhao Yun's words, Guan Yu nodded silently. Although the situation in Youzhou seems to be relatively clear, it is still very complicated in fact.

"If you want me to say, after we took Yongnu, we should go west in one go and take Jixian County directly. At that time, Zhang Bao was killed, and the dragons in Jixian County were leaderless, as long as our army arrived, it would definitely be a drum, and where was the current predicament? Zhang Fei said disapprehantly.

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "Yide, it's not as simple as you think. At that time, although there were no generals in Jixian County, the Yellow Turban Army had not yet collapsed. If we really kill it immediately, we will have to face an army of 120,000 Yellow Turbans. And at that time, Zhang Bao had just died, and under the mourning of the Yellow Turban Army, the situation may be even more difficult than now. ”

Zhang Fei wanted to argue, but he couldn't find any reason to refute, and said a little angrily: "Neither advancing nor retreating like this, is it possible that we are under this Jixian County, emptying grain and grass?" ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "Of course not, since the eldest brother has not withdrawn his troops, he must have his way to break the city." I think we'll know the answer soon. ”

………………

Next to the Chinese military tent in Li Yijun's camp, there is a camp tent that looks very special. This camp is neither the camp where Li Yi lives, nor the camp of other generals in the army.

At this moment, Li Yi and Yue Fei were in this tent.

"Lord, can these things really break through Jixian County?" Yue Fei pointed to the carriages covered with black oilcloth stacked on the side of the big tent, and asked with some uncertainty.

Li Pengfei smiled indifferently and said: "Of course, with these things, not to mention just Jixian County, it is a Xiongcheng like Luoyang, the capital division, and it is not a problem to break it." ”

Li Pengfei's words still did not relieve Yue Fei's doubts, he knew what was in these carriages, but it was just saltpeter, sulfur, black charcoal, and some other miscellaneous things that some lords had collected in recent days. With these things, how could it be possible to break through a fortified city guarded by an army of 80,000?

The 80,000 Yellow Turban Army, and the Yellow Turban Army, whose morale is not very high, may not have much combat power in the field, but it is different in the defense of the city. Didn't he rely on the 20,000 Yellow Turban Army soldiers he had just surrendered to resist the attack of the 50,000 Yellow Turban Army's elite? Moreover, the city wall of Quanzhou City is tall and strong, but it is far from being comparable with Jixian County.

With the current situation in Jixian County, even if you give yourself 200,000 troops, it will be difficult to break through the city.

In Yue Fei's opinion, the lord should not lead a large army to attack Jixian County, but should find a way to mobilize the enemy troops in the city and fight in the wilderness. This is the most effective way to win, and although it is difficult to get the Yellow Turban Thieves out of the city, it is better than such a hopeless siege.

Li Pengfei naturally saw Yue Fei's suspicions, but he didn't explain them carefully.

At this time, Han Dang walked in and reported: "Lord, the people you ordered have been found. ”

Li Pengfei nodded and said, "You ask the brothers to grind all the items in these cars into fine powder, and then pack them in different categories." Always remember to keep these items dry and not wet. ”

"Whoa!" Han Dang agreed, turned around and went out of the tent, and then brought in twenty soldiers, and according to Li Pengfei's request, began to take out the various items that were packed in the carriage and grind them into fine powder with a mill.

For a while, the big tent was busy.

Li Pengfei did not leave, and he was always instructing the busy soldiers, paying attention to this and that, and he was also very busy.

Looking at Li Pengfei with an excited face, Yue Fei was a little speechless. What the hell is going on with the lord, how do you look like a playful child?

Li Pengfei was busy for a while, and the guards came to report, saying that Xu Junhou had returned. Only then did Li Pengfei and Yue Fei get out of the big tent and return to the Chinese military tent.

Xu Junhou is naturally Xu Zhong, the scout leader of Li Yijun, he saw Li Pengfei and Yue Fei walking into the Chinese military tent, Shi Liyu reported: "My lord, I received the news from the brothers in front of me that the general of the Yellow Turban Army is solemn and has led the Qiwan army to the border of Changping. At the speed of their march, they would probably be able to reach the battlefield in two days. ”

"Good, it's finally here!" Li Pengfei clapped his palms and said with some excitement.

Then, he turned his head and ordered the guards who were guarding the side, "Go and invite Tian Junhou!" ”

Not long after, the guards came back with Tian Zhao.

"Mianzhi, how is it going on over there?" Li Pengfei asked Tian Zhao.

Tian Zhao bowed down and replied, "Lord Yu, according to the brothers' estimates, they are about to arrive at the South City Gate. However, because they were so close to the city walls, the brothers had to be very careful not to attract the attention of the defenders of the city. If the lord can send a large army to cooperate with the operation again, the project will be completed in two hours. ”

"Two hours is enough?" When Li Pengfei heard this, he groaned for a while, and said to Tian Zhao, "Okay, you let the brothers get ready, and the general will let the army cooperate with them!" ”

After speaking, Li Pengfei instructed the guards: "Gather the drums!" ”

With the beating of the drums of the generals, the generals and colonels above the rank of lieutenant of Li Yi, including Gongsun Zhan and his generals and colonels such as Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan, Guan Jing, Zou Dan, and Wang Men, all came to the Chinese military tent within a quarter of an hour.

After the people arrived, before Li Pengfei could speak, Zhang Fei asked: "Big brother, won't you gather generals to attack the city again?" ”

Li Pengfei smiled slightly and said: "Sure enough, Yide still knows my heart, yes, Ben will gather everyone, just to attack the city!" ”

Zhang Fei lamented, and the rest of the generals also smiled bitterly, not knowing what effect Li Pengfei had in doing this.

Looking at the expressions of the generals, Li Pengfei was amused and said with a smile: "However, this time, let's not play those imaginary ones, it is a real siege, and the whole army will storm it!" ”

When the generals heard this, they all changed color.
