The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 231 Husbands who help major events must put people first!
In the first year of Chuping, in mid-February.

Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu to lead [-] soldiers to defeat Wu Dun in battle, forcing him into Gai County and besieging the isolated city.

Just when Liu Bei was about to attack the city, he suddenly received a letter from Lin Chao.

In the letter, General Lin Chao reported Feng Gao's situation to Liu Bei, truthfully describing the contributions of Zhang Liao, Guo Jia and Xu Huang.

Especially in the battle of Liang Fu, Guo Jia and Xu Huang defeated Changxi's [-] troops with a thousand officers and soldiers under their command, which made Liu Bei unable to recover for a long time.

For Guo Jia, Liu Bei was very impressed.

After all, the counselors under his command care about manners and etiquette regardless of their background. Few of them are as casual as Guo Jia.

When he was in Tancheng, Liu Bei saw Guo Jia more than once, taking advantage of Lin Chao's inattention, getting drunk with a flagon, and then curled up in a corner of the wall in winter and fell asleep.

Regarding this, Liu Bei, who came from a humble background, didn't feel that Guo Jia was rude, but thought that this kid was informal and an excellent drinking buddy.

But he never expected that this little drunkard would have such great abilities!
There are also Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, who also performed very well in this battle.One commanded an army of [-], but defeated Sun Guan's nearly [-] army head-on.The other was to kill Chang Xi directly.

Originally, according to Liu Bei's expectation, Zhang Liao could keep Feng Gao for a short time, and wait for his army to arrive, and then work together to defeat the thieves.

Who would have thought that even this side division had achieved great success, but the main force on their side was still fighting fiercely.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help sighing: "The people who can be favored by the quilt at the beginning are indeed great talents! Wen Yuan and Gong Ming can all be generals. The strategy of serving filial piety may not be weaker than military advisers."

As he was speaking, he saw Xun Chen and Xun You coming hand in hand outside the army tent.

"Lord!"

The two bowed their hands to Liu Bei.

"The military division and You Ruo came just in time, and a message came from Zichu."

Liu Bei said, and handed the letter in his hand to the two.

After Xun Chen looked at Liu Bei's face, he smiled and said, "With Wen Yuan's talents, and Jia Wenhe and a thousand soldiers who were trapped in the battle, it is not surprising that such a result can be achieved. Don't be surprised, my lord."

"On the other hand, Feng Xiao and Gong Ming only have 1000 troops under their command. It is indeed not expected that they can defeat Chang Xi."

After Xun Chen finished speaking, Xun You also laughed.

Liu Bei looked at the two uncles and nephews who were smiling calmly, feeling a little surprised in his heart.

Feelings This pair of uncles and nephews have long known the abilities of these people, but they are the only ones who don't know them, right?

Probably seeing Liu Bei's doubts, Xun Chen explained: "My lord, although Guo Fengxiao has a very bad reputation, but a certain second brother, Wen Ruo, has already spoken beforehand. If the talent of Fengxiao is used in the army, there are few people in the world who can match it. As for Jia Wen and...

In the past, the first-time earners... When they recruited others, they always stalked and stalked, but this person was the only one, but as soon as they met, they were tied up with a rope, lest he escape.It can be seen from this that this person's ability was extremely fearful at the beginning, and it is not surprising that he has such ability. "

Thinking of the scene where Lin Chao tied up Jia Xu outside Luoyang City in the past, Liu Bei also laughed.

"Zichu has made great achievements there, and we can't fall behind. Military advisor, You Ruo, how should Gai County be taken down? Do you two care?"

Xun You cupped his hands and said: "My lord, I and my uncle came here for this purpose. Our army defeated Wu Dun ten days ago, causing him to defend the city. Now my lord wants to take the city. I have two strategies, and I let my lord choose. "

"Two strategies!"

Liu Bei was worried, but when he heard Xun You said that there were two ways, he was overjoyed and said, "Gongda, let's talk about it."

"There is a river in the southwest of Gai County, named Yishui. Now the severe winter is over, and the early spring is approaching. The river and stream will thaw. My lord can build a dam on Yishui, so that the water will gradually rise. Within ten days, the water will be several feet high. At that time , Dig the dam, divert Yishui to irrigate the city, and the city can be broken!"

When Xun You said this, there was no expression on his dull face, but his eyes were filled with a sharp light.

"In this way, my lord can defeat the enemy and take down the city without a single soldier!"

This trick was like a stroke of genius, and Liu Bei called him an expert.

When Xun You attacked the Xiutu Department in Bingzhou last year, Xun You had two big fires, which caused the Xiutu Department to fall in a disastrous defeat.Now another wave of floods is coming, drowning Wu Dun's [-] soldiers and horses.

As soon as Xun You makes a move, he will either die or die, leaving no way for people to survive at all!
Is this plan good?

Of course good!
But Liu Bei frowned after listening.

If it is said that only Wu Dun and his soldiers and horses are in the city, Yan will also be drowned, which is not a big deal.

But... there are tens of thousands of people in the city, and these people are all innocent.

Seeing that Liu Bei frowned and said nothing, Xun You was puzzled, so he asked, "My lord, is there something wrong with You's plan?"

Liu Bei waved his hand and sighed: "Gongda's plan is very clever, but I can't use it. The common people are so innocent, but they have to be implicated by thieves for nothing. I can't bear it. Gongda, let's talk about another strategy. "

Er Xun couldn't help being awed, and clasped his hands together and said: "My lord is benevolent, I admire you!"

Liu Bei said with a smile: "It's nothing. Those who help people with great things must first put people first. Now that a certain can't protect the environment and the people, how can we help the world!"

Seeing Liu Bei's reluctance to adopt his plan of flooding, Xun You felt a little regretful, but also a little happy, and continued, "If my lord can't bear to implicate the people, then I can only surround the three gates and let the thieves abandon the city and flee. Now go west , is Mou County, and after that is Fenggao, so Wu Dun can only flee to the north and join Banyang Zangba."

After Xun You finished speaking, Xun Chen added: "My lord, if Wu Dun votes for Zang Ba, the two bandits of Mount Tai will join together, and the attack will be much more difficult."

The implication is that I still want Liu Bei to choose the strategy of flooding.

"Even so, I will never flood the people!"

Liu Bei flatly refused.

On this point, there is no room for negotiation.

For military purposes, Er Xun naturally tended to destroy the enemy by flooding.

As a monarch, Liu Bei needs to think more and think more comprehensively.

He never denies his ambition, but he will never do anything for his ambition.

"I've made up my mind, let Yun Chang withdraw from the city siege tonight, and let Wu Dun escape to the west!"

Xun You and Xun Chen looked at each other, and they clasped their hands together and said:

"only!"

After talking about the business, Liu Bei greeted the two of them to sit down again, and once again focused on the letter from Lin Chao.

Liu Bei looked at it again, and then sighed to the two of them: "Military division, You Ruo, a certain Guan Wenyuan, and Fengxiao are both great talents. But these two are now in Zichu's mansion, one is a guard, and the other is doing nothing all day long. It might be a little too condescending.”

Hearing the regret in Liu Bei's tone, Xun Chen immediately became interested.

"My lord, I want to ask Zichu to entrust the two of you with important tasks?"

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Of course, it's just that Zichu is now in charge of Xuzhou's affairs, so he naturally needs someone to help him. If the two of them are brought over, will there be a shortage of manpower on Zichu's side..."

The reason why Jia Xu and Xu Huang are not mentioned is because one of them is currently serving as the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and the other is serving in the school administration.

Hearing this, Xun Chen immediately cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty has no worries, Zichu is a great talent in the world, not to mention a state, but the whole world, it's like looking at things in the palm of your hand!"

Haha, you, Lin Zichu, have conspired countless people in your life, and you never thought you would have this day!
Xun Chen still feels aggrieved when he thinks about how he was fooled into boarding a pirate ship by Lin Chao.

So he recommended himself: "My lord, I see that Wen Yuan and Guo Fengxiao are all great talents in the world. They should be used by the lord. What do you think?"

"Oh, does Gongda agree?" Liu Bei hurriedly asked.

Xun You: ...

Uncle, you want to find Lin Zichu's bad luck, why ask me?
One is uncle and the other is uncle, what do you want me to do!
However, facing Liu Bei's expectant look and the threat in Xun Chen's eyes, Xun You resolutely chose to follow his heart.

"That's right, what uncle said is right."

Xun You nodded, with a dull expression on his face.

Xun Chen hit the iron while it was hot: "My lord, when Wu Dun retreats and our army joins Zichu, I will go and persuade Zichu on my lord's behalf."

"Okay, very good."

Seeing that both of them agreed, Liu Bei instantly lost any psychological pressure.

……

It was night, after Guan Yu received the order, he ordered part of the siege to be withdrawn to give Wu Dun a chance to escape.

But it was withdrawn, but it was not completely withdrawn.

At least, Guan Yu stationed the withdrawn soldiers in the southwest corner of Gaicheng.

The Taishan thieves guarding the city saw that there was no Han army outside the west city, so they immediately reported the news to Wu Dun.

At this time, Wu Dun was squatting at the gate of the clinic, worrying.

Half a month ago, not long after he took down Gaicheng, he heard that Liu Bei was attacking.

Wu Dun thought to himself that even if the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command could not beat Liu Bei, the difference would not be too much, so he confidently led the army and fought against Liu Bei outside the city.

Unfortunately, his opponent is Guan Yu.

Dare to fight positional warfare?
Learn about the improved and enhanced version of Queyuezhen!
Wu Dun was unable to break through Guan Yu's formation, but was defeated by Guan Yu and returned with heavy casualties, so he had to retreat back to Gaicheng to defend.

After more than ten days in a row, the city was defended, but there was not enough food and grass.

At this time, he was trying to figure out whether to surrender or not.

After all, the general of the Han army on the opposite side with a big sword is too fierce. If he hadn't run fast last time, I'm afraid he would have been cut in half by him!

At the thought of confronting this person again, Wu Dun trembled a little.

Wu Dun was born in the head of Guizhou. He had no choice but to go up the mountain to become a thief. After development, he became a bandit all the way. He has no ambitions, just wants to live.

If Liu Bei is willing to accept, he can at least fight for a family background, even if he can't lead the army in the future, as long as he lives more cautiously, he will be rich and prosperous, and he will be indispensable.

Just when he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a report from his subordinates, saying that the Han army had withdrawn from the siege of Ximen.

Could it be that Liu Xuande... has the intention of abandoning himself and fleeing the city?
Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope ignited in Wu Dun's heart.

Surrender is the last choice. After all, the future will depend on the face of others, and the wealth and life are all in the hands of others.

Now there are other ways to survive, Wu Dun would never want to surrender.

Don't wait a few days to see, if Liu Bei really intends to let him flee west, then he will lead his army to Banyang and join forces with Zang Ba to resist Liu Bei's attack.

Thinking of this, Wu Dun stood up, patted the dust on his buttocks, and ordered: "The Han army is full of tricks, and they are extremely fierce. This move cannot be trusted. Let's investigate again!"

"only!"

The messenger responded, turned and left.
