Yancheng is not a heroic city, the radius is only a few miles, the city wall is only more than two zhang high, in the crowd formed by hundreds of thousands of people in the three counties, it is like a pebble on the beach, which will be swallowed by the waves at any time.

But it is such a small city, whether it is in the face of the Qingzhou army that came to take advantage of the victory, or in the midst of this crowd, it has not wavered at all.

Of course, such a result was not purely due to the tenacity of the defenders, but also because the besiegers did not attack the city properly.

That's right, in the past month of siege, the Qingzhou army has made this siege war a huge momentum, they dug a bunch of tunnels, built dozens of rushing cars, chariot cars, and more than a dozen wells, and nearly a hundred ladders.

There are also a variety of siege methods, such as ant attachment, cave attack, and even Yuliang Avenue, if it weren't for the lack of craftsmen with them, maybe they would even be able to get a ballista.

No matter how sophisticated the equipment is, how clever the tactics, the besiegers do not work hard, and it is impossible to capture the city!

"Hey, why did you come down again? I didn't even go up to the city, what kind of battle is this fighting! Seeing that this time it was thunder and rain, Zhang Fei was so anxious that he jumped to his feet: "Brother Pengju is very happy to be alone, why is he so mother-in-law this time?" Either hurry up and fight, or go and fight elsewhere, why have you been here for so long, what's the matter! ”

"Yi Dexiu wants to make noise!" Guan Yu also had a hint of anxiety in his eyes, but he behaved much more steadily than Zhang Fei, "General Wang's military strategy, you don't know it, since he commands and dispatches like this, he naturally has his reasons, let's send people under the fence now, how much do you pay attention to!" ”

Wang Yuping Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Liu Bei took the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to pick up a leak. Recruited rebels, and prepared more than 3,000 people. As soon as he saw the dawn, he was beaten by Yan Liangwen's ugly Jizhou light cavalry in Guangchuan.

If that battle is won, it is better to say, with Gongsun Zhan's personality, thinking about the old feelings and merits, Liu Bei can more or less subsidize and regroup. But the problem is that the biggest loss in the Battle of Jieqiao is Gongsun Zhan, and he himself wants to regroup. I have to rely on Qingzhou to help, where can I take care of my old classmates?

When Long got out to fight, Gongsun Zhan mobilized all his forces to fight side by side with Wang Yu, and there was no enough general to stay, so Liu Bei had a chance to turn the book.

With more than a thousand remnants. In addition, more than 3,000 county soldiers stayed on the plain, and this errand has no merit at all, but if it is lucky, with Liu Bei's means, there is no chance to collect these 3,000 county soldiers.

It didn't take long for the news of a big victory to come from the front, and before Liu Bei could tell that he should regret missing the opportunity. Anyway, Zhangjaw's troops arrived at the city.

There are not many people coming, only about a thousand, and it looks like a pioneer in pathfinding. Look at the flag. The leader of the troops was Jiao Touch, who was also an unknown person, and this person did not have much courage, and saw that the city was heavily guarded. After a turn, he sent a few scouts to the west. Then he wanted to leave, but as a result, he seduced Liu Bei, who was eager for meritorious service.

There are 20,000 enemies under his command, and more than 4,000 soldiers and horses are fighting against the 1,000 pioneers led by unknown people. Liu Bei routinely asked the two righteous brothers for advice, and received a warm response from Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's reservations. So, he asked Guan Yu to take 1,000 people to stay behind, and together with Zhang Fei, he led 3,000 soldiers out of the city to meet the battle.

The battle went very smoothly, Zhang Fei took the lead, the spear of Zhangba was like a dragon out of the water, and in a few faces, he picked and killed three generals, and he was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky, and he fled, and Liu Bei led the army to cover up and kill.

Blessings and misfortunes lurk, misfortunes and blessings rely on, Liu Bei soon deeply realized this truth. Chased and killed five miles, just chased to the edge of Yanshui, a trumpet, the ambush in all directions, it turned out to be Zhang Jaw personally led the main force, ambushed in the green gauze tent, set up a ten-sided ambush battle.

Zhang Jaw has a lot of soldiers, and the equipment and elite degree are much higher than the county soldiers, and Zhang Jaw's means of using soldiers are even more superb, plus surprise attacks and ambushes, not to mention the current Liu Bei, even if it is Zhuge Liang thirty years later, don't want to please in this situation.

If it weren't for Zhang Fei's amazing martial arts and hard killing, Liu Bei would have been captured alive by Zhang Jaw.

Liu Bei's main force was destroyed and fled alone; Zhang Jaw refused to waste time on the rout, and chased Liu Bei all the way to the city of Pingyuan. Guan Yu wanted to save his eldest brother and defend the city, so he was in a dilemma, and finally he went out of the city with five hundred swords and axes, thinking that he would enter the city after answering Liu Bei, but how could he let him get his wish?

With a wave of his hand, as soon as the tens of thousands of troops who came by the victory rushed, Guan Yu's sniper formation collapsed, and immediately followed, Plains City was also lost. If it weren't for the fact that the victory on the battlefield of Longcuo had been decided, maybe this battle would have been pulled back by Zhang Jaw.

Although it didn't have much impact, Gongsun Zan didn't have a good face to show Liu Bei afterwards.

Only those who have seen how tenacious the troops of Koji Yi are on the battlefield can deeply understand how difficult it is to win this battle. As soon as he thought that he might be attacked by another famous Hebei general when he didn't defeat Lu Yi, Gongsun Zhan was sweating profusely and was afraid.

That's no ordinary danger!

Thinking of the old feelings, Gongsun Zhan didn't do anything to his old classmates, but the military action that followed was not Liu Bei's share, after the victory, when the whole army launched a pursuit, let Liu Bei stay on the plain, which was a punishment in itself.

There are many benefits to being caught in pursuit!

Most of the seized equipment, grain and grass must be handed over, but it is not too much to keep them privately. Put on the captured iron armor and hand over the original leather armor, even if Gongsun Zhan, the lord, can't care too much, it's not easy for the soldiers to fight desperately, just turn a blind eye to it.

As for the goods, captives, and so on, they are even more inconsiderate.

Gongsun Chan is very affectionate to his old brothers, and the foot soldiers are all newly attached, so he urgently needs to win people's hearts, so he naturally can't behave too harshly. Except for the part of the Qingzhou Army that can't be moved, the rest, Gongsun Zhan is at the mercy of his generals.

If this kind of good thing can be involved, Liu Bei will soon be able to recover his vitality, but if he is left aside, he can only watch. For Liu Bei, whose ambition is higher than the sky, this kind of punishment is more fatal than anything else.

In the end, Wang Yu made a round and came forward to take in Liu Bei's brothers. He was given some prisoners, food, grass, and equipment, so that he could get out of the embarrassing situation of the commander of the light pole.

Therefore, to a certain extent, Liu Bei is now running errands for Wang Yu, and Zhang Fei is shouting so loudly, he is an elder brother, and he is all kinds of dissatisfaction, which is naturally a little out of place.

Zhang Fei glared and refused to be convinced: "It's not that I'm wishful thinking." When Brother Pengju saw our brothers, didn't he call out one brother at a time? He can't see the outside, how can we push it out? Besides, this battle is really a wretch, I'll go and ask for a fight, he just smiled and said that he was not in a hurry. But he fought by himself, that's what it looks like, second brother, I don't believe you're not in a hurry! ”

Of course Guan Yu is in a hurry, he will get up from where he falls, he is such a proud person, of course he is very anxious about revenge. But the problem is. Although Zhang Jaw was defeated, he was not a water dog, and he knew from the momentum of the defenders that the combat power of this army was not inferior to the previous one. With the hundreds of remnants of soldiers and more than a thousand captives that his brothers have just gathered, isn't it sent to death to take the lead?

He guessed that Wang Yu should have also seen this, so he refused to attack.

Qingzhou pursues a policy of elite soldiers. There are not many soldiers and horses, and if you attack strongly, you will hurt your vitality. It takes a long time to recover. If it is combined with the field battle with the open jaw, the battle method of Qingzhou infantry and cavalry can greatly reduce the difficulty of loss and victory, but in the siege war, the cavalry is useless, and the tactics of the forward battalion are also not suitable for street fighting.

Therefore, Wang Yu has been bluffing, using a variety of tactics at the same time, trying to take down Zhang Jaw at the lowest cost.

It's a pity that Zhang Jaw is very steady, not in a hurry to fight, not in a hurry to break through, so he waits in the city all day, even if he sees hundreds of thousands of people coming from the east, he is not shaken, or tries to break through and leave.

As a result, this battle became the kind that made Zhang Fei depressed.

Guan Yu understands the truth in this, he believes that the eldest brother who has not spoken can also understand it, but the third brother with a tendon will not think so much and so far. If he explained it, maybe he would make some trouble, and he would have to be depressed.

Guan Yu Zhengse said: "People respect me, I respect people, General Wang treats our brothers politely, that is his graceful bearing, but you and I can't accept it calmly, otherwise it will only make people see jokes, you must know ......"

Zhang Fei shook his head and hurriedly said: "Well, well, the big husband acts, the grievances are clear, and if he has kindness, he will repay it in the future, but he can't get an inch, right?" ”

Ignoring Guan Yu's crying and laughing expression, Zhang Fei stretched his waist and pushed his hands to the back of his head: "Forget it, I won't talk to you, and I won't fight seriously left and right, I'll find Pengju to drink, Qingzhou is a good place, and the new wine tastes very mellow......"

I don't know if I remembered the taste of wine, Zhang Fei's feet were fast, and without waiting for Guan Yu to stop him, the figure disappeared after three turns and two turns, thanks to his such a big man, his movements were so agile.

"Big brother, Yide is ......" Guan Yu couldn't take him, he didn't catch it, and he could only look at his righteous brother Liu Bei and smile bitterly.

"Let him go." Liu Bei's expression was calm, and there was an elusive emotion floating in his eyes, and he said slowly: "The third brother, he originally had a wealthy family, and he scattered his family wealth and followed Beibei, and his life became a lot harder. Let him go, General Wang's favor will be repaid by my brother. ”

Guan Yu was silent.

Over the years, the three brothers have been unlucky, starting from the first year of Zhongping, and have been displaced until the second year of Chuping, Liu Bei is still just a Gao Tang Ling. The official is not big, the ambition is not small, recruiting, raising soldiers, and building interpersonal relationships, all of which do not need money, so naturally there is no personal enjoyment.

Guan Yu himself is okay, he was originally because he killed someone in his hometown, and in order to avoid trouble, he has been exiled. But Zhang Fei is different, the Taoyuan where the three brothers got married, was originally the backyard of Zhang Fei's family, the family was very good, and he was used to enjoying it, but he suddenly became such a hard life, which was somewhat uncomfortable.

Of course, Yide is very righteous and will not dislike the eldest brother because of this little bit, or even betray the oath of brotherhood, but in Guan Yu's opinion, he owes this righteous brother a little.

Liu Bei is talking about this now, and Guan Yu won't be able to say more.

In fact, Guan Yu was also a little worried, Wang Yu was not a fool, he showed favor one after another, and he must have some intentions. According to Guan Yu's understanding of Wang Yu, he is likely to have taken a fancy to his brother's talent, and he intends to win him over, and his sincerity is also very full.

However, Guan Yu is very clear about the ambition of the righteous brother, so he also knows it. It is impossible for the other party to succeed in wooing. As long as the eldest brother refuses to be subservient, he and Yide can't leave him, the reason is as simple as that.

But the favors owed cannot be regarded as non-existent, so Guan Yu was also quite embarrassed in his heart, and it was not until he heard Liu Bei say that he had written down all these favors, and he was relieved.

Guan Yu's relieved expression fell in Liu Bei's eyes, making the latter's heart more and more bitter.

In terms of understanding Wang Yu, Liu Bei is much stronger than the two righteous brothers. From the moment that kid met, he had the idea of poaching from himself! That's right, nothing to do with himself, that kid is only interested in the two righteous brothers!

God, is there anything more embarrassing than this?

Replace it with someone else. Liu Bei is not worried at all, but Wang Yu, a thief, is a thief, and his strategy for the two righteous brothers is very right: all kinds of respect and kindness to the second brother; It's easier to deal with the third brother, smash it with all kinds of fine wine!

This strategy of doing what he likes is very effective, and Liu Bei can be sure that if Wang Yu hadn't appeared late. fell behind him, and the two righteous brothers would definitely be fooled by him.

That kid is not very old, but he is extremely accurate and decisive. Not to mention far away, take the Changshan Zhao Zilong a few months ago, it is very typical.

Originally, they came to Gongsun Zhan, but they haven't seen Gongsun Chan yet. As soon as the boy heard the name, he cut it off. What I know is that he is thirsty for talent. I don't know, I thought he had any special hobbies, or he had found his brother who had been scattered for many years!

It's not enough to intercept the person, the series of enveloping methods behind it, Liu Bei was dazzled, and he slept and ate together, put his heart into his stomach, and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, so he almost didn't build a board to provide for it.

At that time, Liu Bei was not unmoved, but he couldn't find a chance! He didn't know anything about the young man from Changshan, what excuse did he use to approach people, and what should he say when he saw him? Even if it really succeeds, if Wang Yu looks away, won't it become a big joke?

The result? Not long after Wang Yu broke the Xuanxiang array, news was released in Qingzhou, and it was Zhao Yun who really broke the formation, Wang Yu just followed the people around, and he went in six and six out!

After hearing the news, Liu Bei was sad and didn't sleep well for a few days.

What is the most important thing to create a great cause? Connections, reputation, money...... And so on, but these are not the most important things, the most important thing is the talent.

If you have Zhao Yun by your side when you are in ambush in Yanshui, even if you can't turn defeat into victory, you can calmly fight your way out, right?

A person who is both high in martial arts and proficient in battle formations is perfect for being a bodyguard and guard, with such a person by his side, where do you have to worry about personal safety?

As a result, he was snatched away by Wang Yu. Liu Bei felt strange in his heart.

Now it's too late to comprehend, Wang Yu's entrapment of Zhao Yun has reached an unstoppable level. Zhao Yun didn't come to the battle of Longcuo this time, he took some veterans of the White Horse Yicong to Changshan and Youzhou to recruit troops, and the rebuilt White Horse Yicong, he is the main general!

Such reuse, Liu Bei can't give it, and it can't be given; Compared with fame and identity, after he, the king of Zhongshan Jing, he can't compare to the fresh champion Hou.

So, he could only watch.

At present, Wang Yu put his hand into Liu Bei's private place again, but Liu Bei could only endure it. His soldiers were all wiped out by Zhang Jaw, Gongsun Zhan ignored it, and if he wanted to recover his strength and get a new opportunity, he could only rely on Wang Yu's help, so he had to endure it if he could, and he had to endure it if he couldn't.

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads!

Liu Bei was very bitter in his heart, but Wang Yu was very happy at the moment, Qingzhou's new wine was made by him after discussing with Mi Zhu and Zhang Ning, and using the distillation method of later generations. Of course, he doesn't know how to make wine, but he can say a few basic principles, and with his tips, it is not very difficult for Zhang Ning and the craftsmen of the Mi family to cooperate to make distilled liquor.

This thing is meant to be transparent at all.

Needless to say, the benefits of this wine are strong and strong, and it can also be used as a disinfectant for battlefield first aid, and it can also cause fatal damage to a senior drunkard like Zhang Fei.

"Good wine, really good wine!" Zhang Fei drank a glass of wine and praised it, and the big eyes of the copper bell narrowed into a line, like a drunken cat.

"It's good that the third brother likes it, there are more wounded soldiers in this battle, and most of them are used, and when he comes back to brew new wine, the younger brother will let people send more over, and the third brother must be enjoyed." Wang Yu himself was not interested in wine, which was originally prepared for maritime trade.

Liaodong and Saiwai are both bitter cold places, and spirits are undoubtedly the most appetizing things over there, the higher the degree, the more convenient it is to transport, and the higher the profit. As a result, Gongsun Du's fleet never appeared, so he had to use it to treat the wounded soldiers, and by the way, increase the friendship with Zhang Fei.

Wang Yu didn't have the luxury of expecting it, just with this little thing, he enveloped Zhang Fei, but the more favorability this kind of thing, the more the merrier. According to the normal trajectory, Liu Bei should not have a chance to be an enemy of himself in the short term, and his career of exile has just begun.

Although he experienced a lot of hardships in his previous life, he was escorted by Zhao Yun by his side, so he was always in danger. This time Zhao Yun is on his side, Liu Bei may hang up at some point, you know, this imperial uncle has not lost many battles, there is no full-time bodyguard, and it is very dangerous to defeat the battle.

If Liu Bei hangs up, with his current favorability, won't he be able to receive the inheritance? As the saying goes, victory is happy and defeat is happy, anyway, the cost is not big, and there is nothing to regret if you fail.

Drinking hot, Zhang Fei suddenly asked: "Pengju, you are indeed a good man, but I am also a little puzzled, you know that the eldest brother is ambitious, why do you bother so much?" It's not like you think I'm an alcoholic, it's so easy to buy, right? How many jars of wine will it be solved? ”

Drinking Wang Yu's wine and living on Wang Yu, to be honest, Zhang Fei's words are a bit heart-wrenching.

Tai Shici's eyes immediately became cold, and the wine bottle in his hand was slammed, and the foot of the bottle smashed the wine case made of pear wood out of four pits. The guards also looked at each other angrily, thinking that this big black man really didn't know what to do.

"What did the third brother say, Yu likes to make friends with the heroes of the world the most, stay by his side like Ziyi and Zilong, ask for benefits day and night, and fight side by side, although it is good, but this kind of thing cannot be forced."

Wang Yu laughed, stretched out his hand to stop Tai Shici, and said: "Men are dating, you know each other, Yu knows that the three brothers are heroes, and if they are destined to know each other, they will make friends, and it is good to be able to maintain friendly relations all the time, if not, it is also a sympathetic opponent." Wouldn't it be nice to compete on the battlefield, and the bow will be high and low? ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to be a good one!" Zhang Fei laughed and raised his glass to invite: "Come, for this pride, brother, I will toast you!" ”

"Drink it!" Wang Yu smiled and raised his glass, later generations said that Zhang Fei was reckless, but the general who could leave a name in the troubled times could not be a pure tendon, Zhang Fei was a representative of the thick and thin. Several important battles of Liu Bei's entry into Shu were fought by Zhang Fei, and later he was also very active in Hanzhong, and Wang Yu did not dare to despise the other party at all.

What he said just now can be used as a temptation for him to use his rough appearance as a cover. If you slap the table and get angry, your previous efforts will be in vain, but it shouldn't be so easy to get through the test smoothly.

"Since you know each other, then you give me an explanation, what is your plan to besiege and not attack here?" Sure enough, Zhang Fei asked directly about the point in the next sentence.

"What is this...... Wang Yu slowly put down the wine glass and smiled lightly: "Of course, there is some thinking in it, since the third brother asked, Yu can't hide it, so I asked the third brother for advice." ”

"Just say it, I'm listening!"
