Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 300 Who is the guest?
"I didn't expect Ziyu to move so fast. I thought he would send farmers to farm the fields until Yizhou was pacified." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan to cool off.

Just now Zhang Fei's description was very brief. Everyone thought that Deng Ai was sent by Lantian to join the battle. They were all surprised to hear Zhuge Liang's sigh.

"Military officer, do you mean that Deng Ai came to farm?" Liu Bei asked in surprise.

Zhuge Liangliang nodded, "Yizhou is protected by high mountains and dangerous passes. If you spread Jingnan's planting techniques here, you will be able to grow a prosperous area in a few years. Based on this, you can go to the north to map the original land.

Ziyu expected that the Lord would go north to Hanzhong in the future, and he had already trained a group of people to go to Jiameng to farm the fields, so as to save the consumption of food transportation and the labor of the people. "

After listening to Zhuge Liang's explanation, everyone was too shocked to speak. Now that Luocheng has not been conquered, Lantian actually turned his ideas to Hanzhong.

Liu Bei lamented, "Jingnan is relatively rich now. These people are willing to leave their homes and businesses and travel thousands of miles to farm in Shu. I have to admire Ziyu's appeal, and I don't know whether it is Han or Yue people."

"Brother, they are all children of Xin Dengzhuang, so Ziyu let Deng Shizai lead the team." Zhang Fei added.

Zhuge Liang then added: "Ziyu's appeal is on the one hand. The lord is benevolent, loving the people and has the heart to help the Han family. This is the fundamental reason why the people of the world are convinced."

Liu Bei nodded affirmatively, saying that if it was Xin Deng Village, it would be fine. The farmers in Xinye know how to be grateful, and they almost worship the Lantian who can farm.

While everyone was silent, Zhong Lang finally waited for the opportunity to deliver Lan Tian's handwritten letter to Li Yi.

In the letter, Lan Tian recommended Deng Ai as the captain of Diannong, hoping that Liu Bei could take care of this young man, and suggested that Liu Bei take Chengdu to focus on attacking his heart, and he would use the next few issues of the Yangtze River News to cooperate, after all, it was broken. If it sucks, it will take time and effort to rebuild.

Liu Bei handed the letter to Zhuge Liang after reading it, and solemnly ordered: "My mother is worried when my son travels thousands of miles. Deng Shizai lost his father in his early years. Ziyu is a teacher comparable to his father. Please ask the military teacher to write to Zhong Miao (Huo Jun) to take care of him and wait for him in Yizhou. After pacification, a separate county will be designated in Guanghan to fully cooperate with this young man in farming."

"Wei." Zhuge Liang responded.

Zhang Fei's soldiers and horses were exhausted from the long journey, so Liu Bei ordered the whole army to rest for three days, ordered people to cook summer soup in the camp, and asked hundreds of doctors and military doctors to collectively prevent and treat diseases, and make final preparations for the capture of Luocheng.

Since Liu Bei entered Shu for more than a year, the army's battle damage has been kept at a low level. Except for direct battle deaths that cannot be treated, the number of soldiers who died due to injuries and illnesses has decreased significantly. The reason is because of the existence of medical battalions.

It is extremely difficult to train military doctors. From Zhang Ji's Chenxian Medical School to Hua Tuo's Quanling Medical School, it took so many years to train 500 military doctors.

Liu Bei entered Sichuan and took away [-] military doctors, who were incorporated into Chen Dao's Guards as a medical battalion.

Luocheng's sudden truce made the city defenders feel unusual.

When he learned that Liu Bei had reinforcements arriving, Liu Xun, the chief general, didn't say a word.

Why do you feel that you are a guest and Liu Bei is the master of Yizhou?

Liu Xun is the eldest son of Liu Zhang and the legal heir of Yizhou, but before his father was old, he lured wolves into the house and recruited Liu Bei from Jingzhou.

Now the two sides are in conflict, and both public and private must defend the last barrier. He has guarded Luocheng for more than two months, and Chengdu has not sent a single soldier or food.

"My lord, it is rumored that Zhuge Liang went up the Shuo River in Deyang before, but Zhang Fei's soldiers and horses arrived these days, and they seem to have come from the direction of Jiameng Pass. Should we ask for help from the direction of Chengdu?" Zhang Ren reported.

"Liu Bei has always been strict with his troops and paid special attention to the protection of news. How did Zhang Zong find such clear news?" Liu Xun asked curiously.

Zhang Ren replied embarrassingly: "The scout came back and said that Liu Beijun took the initiative to inform."

Liu Qiang quickly shook his head: "That Pang Tong and Fazheng were insidious and cunning, and then Zhuge Liang was added. This news is definitely their strategy, and they want to destroy our morale."

"But eyes can't deceive people. The number of Liu Bei's barracks has indeed increased. You watched the battle on the city wall a few days ago. Didn't you see the banners covering the sky and the dust flying?" Zhang Ren argued.

Liu Qiang snorted coldly: "Perhaps Liu Bei did this on purpose. He saw that Luocheng could not be captured for a long time, so he sent troops out at night and followed them with great fanfare during the day, so as to strengthen their momentum."

"Uh..." Zhang Ren didn't know how to respond.

Liu Xun nodded: "Dong Zhuo used the trick of going in and out when he entered the capital. False camps are also commonly used in the art of war. The two generals deal with it with a normal heart. As long as we try our best to defend the city, no tricks or tricks will work." .”

"Wei." Liu Gui (Zhang Ren) said in unison.

After Liu Bei's army completed its preparations, he ordered Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and other generals to launch a fierce attack on the east, west, north, and west sides of Luocheng at the same time.

In addition to the siege equipment brought from Fucheng, the Yue people in the army hid behind the shield formation and shot at the city wall with strong bows and crossbows.

During Zhang Fei's entry into Shu, because Yan Yan led the way, the guards of all cities and gates all surrendered. Considering the large proportion of Vietnamese in the army, although Zhang Fei did not commit any crimes with Minqiu along the way, he took away a large number of defenders everywhere. Yujian was brought to Liu Bei's camp all the way.

The condescending shooting turned into a counterattack from the bottom up, which frightened the defenders at the top of the city, and the pressure on the defense was directly increased by an order of magnitude.

"Damn it." After the battle in the afternoon, the city lord punched Liu Gui on the female wall.

Liu Bei attacked like this for a day, and Luocheng suffered more than two to three thousand casualties. If the fighting continued like this every day, Luocheng's defenders would be wiped out within ten months.

At night, Liu Xun summoned the two generals to discuss countermeasures. At this time, no one suspected that Liu Bei's increase in troops was fake.

"My lord, it's not an option to keep defending like this. Liu Bei's offensive is so fierce. If we continue to increase our troops, we will be in trouble. We should ask the lord for help." Zhang Ren suggested.

Liu Xun smiled wryly and shook his head: "When I set off from Chengdu, news came from the south of Yizhou that Liu Bei's general Zhao Yun had conquered Jiangyang, an important town on the Yangtze River, and was heading towards Qianwei at that time.

Several months have passed now, and I don't know where Zhao Yun has arrived. If my father sends troops to help Luocheng, what will happen to Chengdu? "

"This lord is really in trouble," Zhang Ren sighed.

"I'll try to write a book and tell my father about the situation here." Liu Xun said.

"Alright." Zhang Ren nodded.

At this time, Liu Gui glanced at Zhang Ren, cupped his fists and suggested to Liu Xun, "My lord, there are still nearly [-] soldiers in the city, but it is impossible for all of them to rush to the top of the city to defend.

Zhang Zong (Zhang Ren) is used to fighting, and he cannot use his talents to the best of his abilities when he is trapped in the city. It is better to go out with some soldiers and garrison with him.

Liu Xun was shocked when he heard it, and four words came to mind: Guandu Wuchao.
