Chapter 574: Three Visits to the Thatched House
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil. Occupying the land coveted by the northern overlord Qin Feng in the Central Plains, he joined forces with the prince Cao Cao to attack Liu Bei and carve up the two states of Qingxu.
In the war, Liu Bei, who was about to be defeated, was helped by Zhuge Liang, the first military division of the Three Kingdoms. The fire burned Xiaopei, the fire burned Wangpipo, and the two fires burned Cao Cao's more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.
Cao Cao, who lost his troops, lost the opportunity to annex Xuzhou alone.
Today, the city is based on Picheng, the north is in the hands of Qin Feng, and the south is in the hands of Cao Cao.
In the sixth year of Jian'an in the Qin calendar, on September 10, 197 AD.
Qin Feng, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei, the three princes and giants in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, gathered on the battlefield for the first time to meet each other.
Qin Feng and Cao Cao stood outside the west gate of Picheng with horses, and more than 100,000 troops behind them were waiting for the day.
Cao Cao was afraid that he would be robbed of Xiapi, so he deliberately smiled: "Zijin, when you have to conquer Xiapi, I will definitely invite you to drink for my brother, thank you for your help." ”
When Qin Feng heard this, he didn't know Cao Cao's intentions. Xin Dao: "Whatever you say, whoever occupies the defense of Picheng first, who will naturally own Picheng now!" ”
Cao Cao saw that he didn't answer, thinking that he had acquiesced, and was overjoyed.
On the city of Xiapi, there are many armor soldiers, and there are many ordinary people among them. These people were bound to defend the city together, and they were very reluctant to look at their faces.
At this time, Liu Bei, who had only one ear hanging down his shoulder, suddenly appeared on the head of the city, and he saw Qin Feng and Cao Cao together, and Cao Cao also showed a smug smile. This reminded Liu Bei of the pain of bereavement, and angrily pointed at the city and scolded: "Cao Mengde, you despicable and shameless villain. Two months ago, you were in the world. Six Alliances Conquer Qin. Now, you, the leader of the alliance who attacked Qin at the beginning, have colluded with Qin Feng. It's all under heaven. How did you come up with such a capricious thing! ”
"Uh-huh......!" Cao Cao, who was originally smiling, suddenly changed color when he heard the words. However, for a while, there was no rebuttal. He hurriedly looked at Qin Feng, expecting help.
Who knew that Qin Feng sneered and said, "Brother Meng De, if you really are in the world, good, good." ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he felt that tens of thousands of Qin troops were behind him. He was extremely afraid that Qin Feng would turn against the water, and suddenly he broke out in a cold sweat and said, "No, no." Virtuous brother, it was Liu Bei who instigated him to be his brother, you have always known that he was a brother with soft ears, and he accidentally fell for Liu Bei's tricks. ”
At this time, Liu Bei scolded Cao Cao, let out a bad breath, and scolded Qin Feng again: "Qin Zijin, you are a big thief in this country." Cholera Dynasty, killing the lord and remnants. Heaven and earth are not blessed, and man and God are sick. Gai Ji, there is no way, victory over Qin, reckless indulgence. Woe to the mountains. Poison flows everywhere. Its cruel nature is not as good as a jackal! ”
Liu Bei said this, and bowed to the sky. He also said: "Liu Bei was originally the son of Emperor Xiaojing, after King Zhongshan Jing, but he was calculated by you, a villain. You bully today. Ravaging the Liu family, heaven will not tolerate it! ”
Cao Cao discovered Liu Bei's eloquence for the first time. He opened his mouth in surprise, and said in his heart that it was good to scold, Qin Zijin was the most undesirable.
Qin Feng was also taken aback, and said in his heart that this Liu Bei came after eating gunpowder today? He sneered and said, "Liu Xuande, don't put gold on your face, your surname Liu is a member of the Han family?" There are so many people surnamed Liu in the world that ....... When he said this, he also saluted the heavens, and said: "If my Gaozu Emperor can give birth again, I am afraid that in these four hundred years, he will not be able to give birth to so many descendants like you!" ”
"After you said that you were King Jing of Zhongshan, I don't know if there is any evidence?"
Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, and said: "Liu Bei's family is in the middle of the road, and the token has long been lost!" ”
Qin Feng laughed and said, "It's really a big joke in the world, Liu Xuande, you crippled person, a thief with one ear, and you still want to pretend to be a member of the Han family." Do you think that all the people in the world are like you, without eyes and beads? ”
"You ......." Liu Bei was annoyed.
Qin Feng pointed at the big gun in his hand and said with a smile: "One ear, such a broken body, dare to come out to meet people, trying to make the world laugh!" ”
"Wow......!" Liu Bei was said to be angry in one ear, and the only big ear was thrown on his shoulder.
Cao Cao pursed his mouth, and said in his heart that Qin Zijin has a mouth that is unparalleled in the world, and there is no second person in the world who is so shameless as him. Liu Bei, you and Qin Zijin are scolding, isn't this looking for death!
Liu Bei's soldiers at the head of the city, hearing Qin Feng's words, couldn't help but look at one of Liu Bei's ears. This move made Liu Bei even more annoyed, and he roared at the head of the city: "Shameless Cao Mengde, you actually bite people's ears. You are shameless, there is no second person in the world who can compare! ”
Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but scold: "Hate Liu Xuande, you can't scold Qin Zijin, but you are the general." Angry, he couldn't help but scold: "I just bit your ear, what's the matter?" ”
"What!" Liu Bei at the head of the city almost turned his back on his anger when he heard this, he never thought that Cao Cao, who was a prince, would be so shameless. He waved his arms and shouted angrily: "Get out of the city, kill Cao Mengde, kill Qin Zijin, kill these two shameless people!" ”
"My lord!" Jian Yong maintained considerable calm, and under his persuasion, Liu Bei temporarily gave up his plan to go out of the city to face the battle.
After Liu Bei calmed down, he went into the city gate building and didn't come out.
Under the city.
"Cowardly as a mouse!" Cao Cao, who had waited for a long time and didn't see any movement, said at this moment: "Brother Zijin, it seems that Liu Bei is planning to defend Xiapi City!" ”
Qin Feng nodded and said: "In this case, the junior brother is sweeping the battle for Brother Meng De, and Brother Meng De can go to find out the reality of Picheng!" ”
Cao Cao was displeased when he heard this, and said in his heart that this is for me to die. However, Qin Feng was the rescuer he invited, and he didn't go on his own, so he didn't have the face to ask for help.
At this point, the 60,000 Cao army began to attack Ximen in Xiapi.
"Mulberry, Rolling Stone, you strong men, act quickly!"
The strong men admired the life of the people in the north, and they didn't want to be enemies with Qin Feng, but when they saw that all the soldiers and horses that came up were Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, they reluctantly acted.
As a result, although Cao's army was elite, it suffered heavy losses under Liu Beijun's blow.
In less than half an hour, five thousand soldiers and horses were lost under the city. For a time, Ximen wolf smoke was billowing out, the corpses were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river. Under the city walls were also high corpses, and many people who were not dead were wriggling and struggling among the piles of corpses.
Qin Feng was accustomed to the cruelty of war, and said lightly: "It seems." Liu Bei is well prepared, and Xia Pi City cannot be attacked! ”
Cao Cao died five thousand people. Just getting Qin Feng's words, he was heartbroken for losing so many soldiers. Displeased said: "Zijin, what should I do for today's plan?" ”
Qin Feng raised his eyes and said with a smile: "What about your filial piety?" You can ask for advice. ”
Cao Cao had no choice but to find Guo Jia.
Guo Jia came up with a very steady strategy and said, "Lord, prime minister." Our coalition siege forces are well-equipped to concentrate trebuchets and strike a wall day and night with boulders. In less than three days, the walls of the city will fall. ”
Cao Cao frowned and said, "What if Liu Beijun repairs it in time?" ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Assisted by the rain of arrows in the well fence, the prime minister's Yuan Rong crossbowmen are unparalleled in the world, and Liu Bei will definitely not be able to repair it!" ”
On Qin Feng's side, Jia Xu and Xu Shu nodded and said in unison: "Guo Junshi's plan is steady!" You can also use fire oil to form flint stones, increasing the difficulty of repairing enemies. ”
As a result, the Qin and Cao coalition forces bullied Liu Bei and did not dare to come out of the cave, and only camped five miles outside the city gate. Every day, hundreds of catapults were sent to pour fire oil with huge rocks, bombard the city walls, and send tens of thousands of troops to protect them.
……
Boom...... Boom...... Boom......
Xiapi City is always in the midst of a loud noise.
Liu Bei in the official residence. Hence the fidgeting. At this time, he was left with only a lonely city in Xiapi, which was no different from Lu Bu in later generations, only the White Gate Building.
He never expected it. It's just a short period of time, and it ended up like this.
As the Qin and Cao coalition forces continued to bombard the city walls. Liu Bei knew that he couldn't hold on for too long. The city is broken, and the fear of death is the end of the game. Liu Bei panicked. Now, the only person he can rely on is Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang had already returned to Xiapi City before the siege of the Qin and Cao coalition forces, although he was defeated, but three fires, the first two burned Cao Cao's more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the last fire burned the valley, if it wasn't for the sudden rain, Qin Feng would have died long ago.
Therefore, Liu Bei just scolded God for being blind, not only did he not blame Zhuge Liang, but trusted this military advisor even more. Now Liu Bei has nothing to do, so he pins all his hopes on Zhuge Liang. "How's the Strategist's injury?" Liu Bei asked.
Guan Yu had already gone to recuperate from his injuries, and only Zhang Fei, who was left and right, said: "Big brother is relieved, the military advisor is just angry and angry, as long as he rests and recuperates, it will be fine!" ”
Relieved! Liu Beixin said that I am relieved. He stood up from the seat and said, "Let's go, follow me to see the military advisor!" ”
When Liu Bei came to Zhuge Liang's mansion on the side of his mansion, he said that it was a mansion, but it was just a simple thatched hut courtyard, and at this moment he saw that the gate was closed.
Zhang Fei behind him said strangely: "The military advisor is really strange, he doesn't live in a big house, he just lives in a thatched house!" ”
Liu Bei reprimanded: "What do you know, this is a return to the basics, and the great sage does it!" Go and call the door."
"Back to basics!" Zhang Fei seemed to understand something, so he went up to call the door.
However, it was a closed door.
The gatekeeper walked out and said: "General, the gentleman has instructed that there will be a good plan within three days, please calm down and don't be impatient, just guard the city and wait for good news!" ”
"Oh!" Liu Bei has begun to understand Zhuge Liang's behavior, although he is very unhappy with Zhuge Liang's self-righteous and unfathomable behavior, but he has always been forbearing, and reluctantly smiled: "In this case, please tell Mr., be ready to wait for good news!" ”
"The hateful Kong Ming, if you have a plan to say it, let's discuss how good it is, it's mysterious all day long." Zhang Fei said dissatisfiedly.
Liu Bei stopped the third brother's complaining and said: "Third brother, no matter what, you must hold on for three days, you go to the west gate immediately, where you live, no matter what the price is, you must keep the city wall from losing!" ”
"Whoa!" The third Zhang Fei listened to the eldest brother the most, so he went to the West Gate to guard.
Three days later.
Liu Bei only cared about the lives of the soldiers, and did not care about the lives of the strong men. After tens of thousands of strong men paid the price of their lives, Liu Bei unexpectedly held on to the west city wall. However, the western city wall has been damaged and may collapse in the next moment.
In the past three days, Liu Bei, a fish in boiling water, once went to Zhuge Liang's thatched house again, but still failed to see his Liangshui military division.
Early in the morning of the third day, Liu Bei couldn't sit still any longer, so he came to Zhuge Liang's thatched house for the third time to ask for a meeting.
Zhang Fei, who accompanied him, said unhappily: "This is the eldest brother's three visits to the thatched house, if Zhuge Liang doesn't come out to see each other again, or if he doesn't have a good plan, I won't burn down his thatched house!" ”
"Don't be reckless, go and call the door!" Liu Bei also said with a bad face.
So, Zhang Fei stepped forward and called the door three times.
This time, Liu Bei was lucky and finally met his military advisor Zhuge Liang in the three visits.
"Strategist, the city wall is about to be lost, Strategist save me!" After Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang in the hut, he worshipped regardless of his identity.
Today's Zhuge Liang has completely regained his former calmness, even if he knows that the city is about to be broken, he can't change his smile on his face. I saw him gently shake the feather fan and said, "The lord has been looking at him three times for three days, and Liang is very ashamed." But fortunately, in these three days, the future has finally been planned for the Lord! ”
"Oh!" In Liu Bei's eyes, the future was already dark, and he was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Where is the future?" ”
Zhuge Liang walked to the side of the earthen wall, pointed to the world-shaped shì diagram hanging on it, and said, "Lord, please look!" (To be continued......)
