Under the city of Xuchang, 300,000 Qin troops gathered. Among them, there are 140,000 first-class combat corps, and 160,000 B-level garrisons reinforced by various states.

The princes of various places never imagined that Qin Feng would still be able to form such a strong military force after experiencing several fierce battles in the Central Plains, so they were terrified.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou was very fortunate that although he did not make any progress in Lujiang and Chaisang, he did not lose much. And Sun Ce, who retreated from Huainan to defend, did not have enough strength to launch a counterattack on Jingzhou on land.

However, if he had sent troops to Wanluo at the beginning, things would not have been so stable, and such a strong Qin army would probably sweep away his soldiers and horses that entered Wanluo. If he loses too many soldiers and horses, he will definitely not be able to resist Jiangdong.

Therefore, Liu Biao scoffed at Liu Bei's original construction and looked down on him. However, Liu Bei got the benefit because of this, so he attacked everywhere in a low-key manner, and encircled the Jingzhou scholars, so that he could take Liu Biao and bring him in the future.

Cai Mao and others informed Liu Biao of Liu Bei's friendship with scholars from all over the country.

However, Liu Biao already glanced down at Liu Bei, thinking that it was reasonable that Liu Bei wanted to live a good life for a long time under his own protection and make friends with the scholars.

On the other hand, Liu Zhang is still in Shudi, living a happy life.

Zhang Lu continued to preach the Five Buckets of Rice Religion for the people in Hanzhong.

Yuan Shu and Sun Ce quit their troops and went home to lick their wounds.

As for Cao Cao, he has already come to Chang'an and has reached a preliminary agreement with Lu Bu to jointly fight against Qin Feng.

In October 198 AD, when Qin Feng's army surrounded Xuchang. This is the general trend in the world.

On the first day of October, Qin Feng's soldiers came to the city.

On the west gate of Xuchang City, Xiahoudun's face was very bad. Looking at the huge Qin army battle array outside the city.

Qin Fengce chased after Yunju and said, "General Xiahou, where is your lord?" ”

Xiahoudun was furious, it was precisely because of Qin Feng that he was facing the current predicament, and said angrily: "Qin Zijin, my lord doesn't want to see you, a brazen man!" ”

Qin Feng's sword eyebrows jumped a few times. For some reason, he didn't want to argue with Xiahoudun.

At this time, Xu Shu said: "My lord." You can test the attack in order to observe the garrison ability of the four walls of Xuchang City! ”

Since ancient times, tentative attacks have been the prelude to great wars.

However, the Tiger Prison was a battle. Qin Feng was still impressed. Then he said: "I originally intended to meet Cao Mengde, since this old boy doesn't show his head, let's go back." Our army has enough food and grass, and can besiege Xuchang for a period of time, and when the enemy's morale is low, we can launch an offensive again! ”

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the princes competed for hegemony. In the eyes of the princes. Food is more expensive than human spirit, because if you have food, you can recruit troops at will. However. In Qin Feng's eyes, soldiers are much more expensive than food. In order to provide a better combat environment for the soldiers, he would rather consume a huge amount of grain and grass.

Xu Shu and Xun You naturally knew the temper of the lord, so they didn't say more.

In the rolling yellow sand, 300,000 Qin troops besieged the city on three sides, north, east, and west.

Xiahoudun learned the lesson of the Tiger Prison Pass, he would never go out of the city to fight. Now that the Qin army was busy besieging the city and camping, it was impossible to launch an offensive, so he ordered his generals to strictly guard the city, and then went down to the city.

"My lord, give me a bite to eat!"

"Abominable Cao Jun, you rob the people of food, and you will not die well!"

"Son, wake up, wake up!"

Xiahoudun returned all the way back to the state pastor's mansion, and along the street, you could see everywhere the people who went out to forage for food, and some of them sat on the ground with big bellies like drums, which was caused by eating Guanyin soil and not digesting it.

He suddenly stopped his horse and looked at a big tree at the corner of the street. At this moment, the tree was left with only a hard trunk, bark, and leaves. Under the big tree, dozens of people and cattle generally gnawed on the last bark.

"Sir, help us!"

"My lord, give us back the food!" When the weak people saw Xiahoudun, they fell to the ground miserably, bowing again and again, and the pitiful state made people cry when they saw it.

Xia Houdun's face was unbearable, but he quickly held back. In order to be able to hold Xuchang, food can only be left to the soldiers. He struck his horse suddenly, and without looking at the people in the city, who were not even as good as beggars, he hurried all the way back to the governor's mansion.

In today's Xuchang City, 300,000 people have struggled through many days without food. The weeds and trees in the city were eaten up in one day. Looking down from the sky, in the huge Xuchang City, the trees are bare and only have white barkless trunks, and the ground has been almost completely turned over, on the ground and underground, all that can be eaten up.

The old and the young were the first to die, and the whole city was filled with the sound of crying and screaming. The human beings who fainted in the streets and alleys because of hunger seemed to have ushered in a terrible virus plague in Xuchang City, and in just a few days, they had entered the end of the world.

Maybe soon, these fainted people will really die, and then the real end will envelop Xuchang.

However, the Cao Army Barracks in Xuchang City is a different scene. 300,000 people will have no food to eat, and another 100,000 will have enough food to eat. Cao Jun ate a lot of food up and down, and he was full of food.

And the periphery of the barracks was full of hungry and crazy people, they were not Cao Bing's opponents, and they couldn't grab food, but they also knew what these Cao soldiers needed. As a result, many women were sent in.

Cao Bing laughed, scattered pots of chopped food into the sky, and when it fell, the hungry people were like chickens, and many people fell directly on the ground and grabbed food with their mouths.

The woman's screams rang out in the barracks.

On the other hand, a few streets away from the barracks, inside a large mansion.

"Shangfeng has an order, try to save the people in Xuchang City as much as possible!" Xuchang City Intelligence Wei Baiwei Wang Wei said.

"But, Lord Baiwei, we don't have much food to hide secretly!" One of his subordinates said.

"The Commander once said ......." Wang Wei said that there was fanaticism in this, and said: "Our intelligence guard is the embodiment of the will of the lord, as a part of the will of the lord. How can you sit back and watch the people starve to death! He said this, his face a little gloomy, and said, "Take out all the food." Save as many people as you can, save the old and the weak first, and save the old and weak ...... first. ”

"Whoa!" And all the people in the house prayed together.

In this regard, Wang Wei personally led a hundred intelligence and secret agents in Xuchang to hide food and rescue the people everywhere.

……

An ordinary family in the city.

A thin child with ribs showing off his body was crying weakly in the room. Next to the child, the cauldron in the stove was steaming hot.

The wife is disheveled. She beat her husband in tears, crying, "Give me back my son, I want my son." I don't want my son to die, let me die if I want to die! ”

The middle-aged husband's eyes were full of hardship, without a hint of hope. He looked at the neighbor's son across from him, as if he could see. What happened to his son at the neighbor's house at this time.

"The Qin army is besieging the city!" Outside the footsteps are shaking. A large group of soldiers rushed over with shouts.

Goo-doo ~ Goo-doo ~ Goo doo~, the water in the pot is boiling. The child seemed to know his fate, and cried even louder.

The middle-aged husband's gaze became resolute, and he suddenly went over and picked up the child.

The wife went crazy because of this, frantically tore at her husband, went to snatch the child in his hands, and cried out miserably: "Replace my son back!" ”

The husband was very excited at the moment, and there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes. I only heard him shouting: "The Qin army is here, the prime minister is here!" Since ancient times. Only Prime Minister Qin is the prime minister who thinks about the people, and the prime minister will definitely save us! ”

The husband rushed out of the house and saw a neighbor coming with his son in his arms. Obviously, the two thought of a play. With remorse in their eyes, they swapped back their sons.

The childish voice of the child, crying in fright, hugged his father tightly, "Daddy, don't throw me." I will be very obedient, I will never eat noisily again, and I will never eat again! ”

The two fathers were in tears, hugging their sons and crying.

At this time, the king of the hundred guards happened to come here, and secretly distributed the things he brought to a very weak old man, and instructed: "Drink more water...... ”

The old man's daughter, with gratitude, wanted to repay Wang Wei with her body.

Wang Wei refused, and he said to the girl: "Don't do it yourself, the prime minister will break Xuchang soon, and you will live a happy life in the future!" ”

Hearing this, hope rose in the eyes of the old man and his daughter.

"Lord Baiwei, look!" One of his subordinates pointed to the father and son who were crying with their heads in their arms.

Wang Wei looked at it, his eyes twitched a few times, he gasped, and exclaimed: "Yi Zi eats!" Never let this happen, get over it! ”

He rushed over with his men, and only then did he know that the two of them had heard that the lord's army had arrived, so they had hope, regretted their respective actions, and had replaced their sons back.

Wang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the apocalyptic scene on the street, thinking that similar things would happen more in the future. The intelligence guard is the embodiment of the will of the lord, which is the dogma of the intelligence guard. Therefore, Wang Wei must not sit idly by and watch such a thing happen, and he immediately ordered: "Mobilize everyone and go to the streets to preach the imminent attack of our army." Let the people know that there is hope that the Lord Sanhedrin has come to their rescue! ”

"Whoa!"

So, the intelligence guards worked together and took action. And the people, if there is a glimmer of hope, they will not do anything to destroy humanity. People had hope under the preaching of the intelligence guard and began to hold on to .......

On the other hand, Wang Wei wanted to send the situation in Xuchang City out. He mobilized the network he had built in Cao's army, and after going through hardships and spending a lot of money, he finally got a chance to steal out of Xuchang City.

At night, Wang Wei came alone to the staircase of the north city wall.

"Wang Wei, it took a lot of effort to find this opportunity, you are out of the city, run for your life!" The answering officer said.

"Thank you, sir!" Wang Wei thanked him on the surface.

When the two went to the city, the officer had already bought off his soldiers, so with the help of the soldiers, he used ropes to release the king into the city.

The city wall, which was more than ten zhang long, was quickly lowered and half lowered.

"What are you guys doing together!" At this moment, Du Xian, who was patrolling the city, came here.

The officer was taken aback, hurriedly let go of his hand, and with a roar, the rope that was still more than ten meters left disappeared at the head of the city at a rapid speed, followed by a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground from under the city.

"Damn, you have collaborated with the enemy! Let people out of the city without permission! Du Xun was furious, and pulled out his sword with a loud bang.

The officer was heartbroken, and hurriedly explained: "My lord, it is not an enemy, it is a big family in the city, and the villain got some property, but let him go out of the city alone!" ”

"Death, kill all these rebels!"

Screams rang out over the city, and soon there was no movement. (To be continued......)
