Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Zhuojun's persistence undoubtedly... encouraged the rest of Youzhou's counties.

Originally, Wuhuan's goal was not "Guangyang", "Yuyang", "Shanggu", "Daijun" and other places close to Liaodong, or even...

Wuhuan claimed to have broken through these cities.

Actually... no!

Wuhuan just cooperated with some Han people inside and outside to open the checkpoint, thus occupying all the main roads, dividing the counties of Youzhou, and preventing the information from each counties from being released.

in this way.

It can create an appearance that Youzhou is over.

Of course, in their view, as long as Zhuojun is defeated, everything will be logical.

Youzhou is really gone!
You must know... the seat of a state and county is equivalent to the provincial capital of later generations, with the belief and spiritual power of the people of a county.

嗏

In fact, Wuhuan couldn't easily break through Zhuojun, because... Zhuojun was much more resilient than they imagined.

And because of Zhuojun's capriciousness, Youzhou also became very aggressive for a while!
Under the city...

The Wuhuan people formed tents one after another. They wore clothes made of various animal leathers, and looked towards the city tower with infinite wonder.

It's been almost half a month... This city... has not made any progress!

No hope of taking it down?

So here comes the question...

How to solve the problem of food?

To know…

The most important reason for Wuhuan to go south was the food problem caused by the large-scale death of livestock under the plague. Now, Zhuo County can't take it down. Where can there be any food in Liaodong?

They were forced to search everywhere...trying to find food from the surrounding villages in Zhuo County.

Unfortunately, there is nothing!

In the fight against the plague, the city was closed for more than a month, so that the people's food had already been exhausted, and there was not much food in the city, let alone outside the city.

As for…

Residents outside the city?
When it was heard that Wuhuan was going south, these villagers outside the city had either entered the city, or had already fled... All that was left was empty houses!

Just no hair.

at first…

The Wuhuan people were forced to hunt voles, which was very effective, and it also provided them with food for several days.

But... tens of thousands of people, tens of thousands of mouths...

It's not summer now, and the voles are hungry too.

These voles, eat one and lose one, but in a few days...it is hard to beat the voles.

If you want to continue besieging the city... then... you must kill the horse!

Horse meat is not good!

But the barbarians don't have many other things, only Ma Duo...

Previously, in order to go to Zhuojun as soon as possible, many Hu people rode on one horse and took the other with them. This exchange of horses can shorten the time for long-distance raids.

Even so...

Hu people are not willing to kill horses!
In their view, horses are their fighting partners...

But... there is no other way!
"kill!"

With the roar of Wuhuan King Qiu Liju, the first batch of one thousand horses had been slaughtered!

These horses were blindfolded. When these Wuhuan people killed the horses, they wept and cut off the horse's head...and then disassembled it.

Not long after, the smell of meat wafted out, and the hungry Wuhuan people finally had a full meal... They don’t like being in tents, they sit outside the tents in groups of three or five, gnawing on horse meat while looking away. Looking at the towering city tower in Zhuojun.

hatred…

At this moment, the hatred of the Wuhuan people increased a bit!

In the brightly lit big tent, Qiu Liju didn't eat horse meat, he stood with his hands behind his back... He looked up at the towering city wall from time to time!

"Eat and drink enough, attack the city tomorrow!"

Finally, Qiu Liju ordered again...

This is already the fourth siege in five days. Siege can consume the spirit of the defenders and reduce the number of Hu cavalry to a certain extent. This is extremely important for today's food shortage!
...

On the city tower, there will always be a resolute figure.

Liu Bei led Zhang Fei to patrol the city walls again. A few days ago, a siege made him feel lingering...

The Hu people did not know what method they used to break into the city. Fortunately, there were only a few people. Zhang Fei used one enemy and three to force the heads of the three Hu people off!

It seems... the days of throwing stones have made some gaps.

Today... Liu Bei finally discovered this gap, and he is stepping up to lead the officers and soldiers to build it.

He dare not be careless for a day!

Because... it seems... I don't know when, he has been the hope of all the people in Zhuojun.

In the city... some people cried loudly because their son was hit by a stone, and some people were pale and white because they were seriously injured and lacked medicine.

Many people have infinite bitterness in their hearts, but Liu Bei always goes to the soldiers, chats with them, and listens to their stories.

At last…

After listening carefully, Liu Bei would always reach out and pat them on the shoulder.

"Stick to it."

"As long as we are still here, we must protect the family behind us."

"You have to mourn, your son is dead, but you still have your daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter... If you also fall down, then...who can take care of this family? Be strong...although it is difficult, but ...or please persevere."

Liu Bei's words are always contagious.

Even though his clothes were covered with ashes...his cheeks hadn't been washed for a few days, but...his aura was always so reassuring.

"Magistrate Liu...tomorrow...tomorrow will be No.15."

"Will our reinforcements come?"

There was a soldier leaning against the city wall and squatting on the ground. He was exhausted... Every day, the dry food he could eat was extremely limited.

Every day... he still has to support his tired body to resist the Hulu!
He didn't dare to take a step back...Because those behind him were his fellow villagers, the whole family!

Fifteen days...this is his last hope!

And the soldier's words quickly attracted the attention of everyone around, and everyone looked at Liu Bei with full expectation.

"Reinforcements...the reinforcements will come eventually, maybe a few days later...but...I can hold on, and you can hold on too!"

"If you really can't go on...then...then it's over."

Liu Bei didn't answer directly...

At this time, the soldier pursed his lips and murmured: "Magistrate Liu...is it...is it that we have never...have no reinforcements? Is it...so?"

His tone was almost hoarse...

The closer they got to the so-called "Fifteen Days", the more they knew that maybe... it was all a beautiful lie.

This…

Liu Bei was at a loss for words...

He didn't know how to answer.

Right here, another sergeant opened his mouth and said, "What are you asking? Didn't Magistrate Liu say that it might be a few days late for that one? Reinforcements...reinforcements will come eventually!"

He was explaining to Liu Bei...

It seemed that he was also looking for a reason for himself to persevere!

These days are too difficult, if the light is lost in the eyes, then... everything will be over.

"Cough cough..."

With a light cough, Liu Bei suddenly felt his eye sockets moisten, and he turned his head hastily, not wanting others to see him like this.

reinforcements...

Fifteen days... Hehe, the deadline for tomorrow is up, how can he explain it?
This... this beautiful lie!

This... the vision in the hearts of the common people and the soldiers... how to explain it?

Liu Bei narrowed his eyes.

"Xuande...Look..."

at this time.

Zhang Fei noticed a carrier pigeon...flying to the top of the tower in the sky under the dark clouds.

"There is a letter!"

Zhang Fei noticed the letterhead tied to the carrier pigeon's feet.

Liu Bei hastily grabbed the pigeon and took off the letterhead...

At this time, any tiny opportunity, he...he must grasp it!
"It's Xianhe's character!" Liu Bei's eyes widened...

He knew that if it was the flying pigeon sent by Jian Yong, it must be...he must have seen Liu Yu and returned...just...just because Zhuojun was besieged, he couldn't enter the city.

It does not matter…

The important thing is... Brother Liu, did you propose any way to break the situation?

With this in mind, Liu Bei has already started the letter.

And this letter...it doesn't matter if you don't read it, after looking at it, his pupils first dilated, and then...retracted again.

This time there are indeed reinforcements on the letterhead...

However, the time for the reinforcements to arrive this time is the real [-]th day!

It's another [-]th day, can he... can he still hold on.

Liu Bei couldn't help but stare intently, looking at the small print below.

——"Xuande... Guanzhu Liu knows the difficulty of your persistence. He mentioned three forces. If these three forces work together, they will definitely be able to turn the tide!"

Liu Bei hurried to find the names of these three people.

First, his Liu Bei's uncle, Liu Yuanqi of the same clan!

Second, Tao Qian, governor of Youzhou!
Third, Liu Bei's friends, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, the largest merchants in Zhuo County!

He...them?
There was a little extra light in Liu Bei's eyes.

It seems... Liu Bei understood something under this letter of instruction from Brother Liu!
...

...

Luoyang, Bridge House.

On a rainy night, Qiao Xuan slowly unfolded a letter in the study, which was sent by Liu Yu...

Qiao Xuan quickly unfolded it, and after seeing it, he couldn't help but frowned.

In his mouth, he softly uttered the seven words "Put it to death and live later"!

Cai Yong, who came to discuss the matter, had a strange look on his face when he heard these seven words... "Qiaozi? This letter..."

"It's from Liu Yu!"

"Is it about Wuhuan going south?" Cai Yong asked without thinking.

Qiao Xuan nodded, and said with emotion: "To be precise, he expected that there would be two factions of 'main war' and 'main peace' in the imperial court..."

"What does Guanzhu Liu mean?"

"Of course it's the main battle!" Qiao Xuan stroked his beard, but his eyes lowered a little. "Guanzhu Liu has brought an interesting story!"

...

...

Luoyang, He Fu.

Hearing that He Jin had returned, Yuan Kai and Yuan Shao took advantage of the rainy weather to visit him.

He Jin looked sad..."Teacher Yuan...I...how could I have expected that this...this willow feather...could make a stone collapse out of the soil by itself, and...what's the saying 'unsafe in the burial, but safe in the fire', In one fell swoop,...Nanyang people's hearts are allied, I...I..."

He Jin looked as if his grief was greater than his heart's death...

At the beginning, he made a strong promise to prevent Taoist Liu Yu from entering the court.

But now it's fine...

The plague has also subsided, the clan has also tidied up their obedience, and even the hearts of the people... are expected by everyone!
Thinking about it with my toes, I know that after such a great achievement... returning to the imperial court, it is inevitable to be promoted to the imperial court!
Taoists enter the court hall...

Even Immortal Da Luo couldn't stop him.

"Cough cough..."

Yuan Shao coughed and looked up at his uncle Yuan Kai.

He thought to himself, this He family is also a family of butchers, teammates like pigs... such small things can't be handled well.

As for...Yuan Kai quickly helped He Jin up.

He still has the tone and appearance of a subordinate.

"Master..."

"At the beginning, this Liu Yu used the 'Tiangu Shi**** to get my elder brother Sikong Yuanfeng to resign from office... Now he is using sorcery again, first the stone tablet is broken, and then the candle is not extinguished... No wonder the master is at a disadvantage."

Speaking of here…

Yuan Kai shook his head again and again. "Now that this Taoist is promoted to a noble rank, I am afraid that the master and I will not be able to stop him from entering the court."

"However, the master doesn't need to give up on himself... I still have a backup!"

Yuan Kai's tone became a little more determined.

"But..." He Jin seemed to understand something. "Yuan Taifu intends to let the Taipingdao supported by the people revolt, so as to... force His Majesty to release the party, and give me some merits?"

The words blurted out... He Jin became eager to try.

After Yuan Kai mentioned this last time, He Jin thought about it carefully.

If the Taiping Dao of the people rebelled, it would be a major event that would affect the whole body... In order to prevent the party members from colluding with the Taoists, the emperor will definitely lift the party restraint.

Although the party's imprisonment was lifted, the military power... His Majesty could not be handed over to a party member.

At this time, He Jin, who is secretly supported by the party members, is the most suitable...

The group of Taipingdao are all peasants, how can they be the opponents of officers and soldiers, as long as they make a little contribution, how can they become prosperous, it is just around the corner...

Therefore, before Yuan Kai said anything, He Jin proposed first...even eager to try.

only…

This is not what Yuan Kai wanted to say.

In fact, Dong Zhuo's backhand is on Dong Zhuo's side... If the court cannot deal with Liu Yu, then it is necessary to send Dong Zhuo back to Liangzhou as soon as possible to accumulate strength there.

One day, Yuan Kai will be able to use this external force to help him eradicate dissidents... to push the Runan Yuan family to the pinnacle of power!

In Yuan Kui's view... Their Runan Yuan family used Dong Zhuo's father for a lifetime, and it is not a big problem to use Dong Zhuo for a lifetime.

With his hand, not to mention a willow feather, anyone who hinders Yuan's further progress must be eradicated!

That's the price to pay for going to the pinnacle of power....

"Cough cough..."

Thinking of this, Yuan Wei coughed lightly, "Master, please be safe..."

"Now that Wuhuan is going south, and the enemy is in front of us... At this time, we must first calm down the chaos, and then... we can solve our own problems!"

"This is what my Runan Yuan family insists on, and it is also what every Han Chinese should stick to!"

Yuan Kui shirked on the basis of national justice.

He Jin immediately lowered his head. "Yes... I was abrupt."

and many more…

Suddenly mentioning this randomness, He Jin suddenly thought of something again.

"Just now Grand Tutor Yuan mentioned Huluan. I have an informant in Nanyang Liu Yu's government office. It seems...the letter Liu Yu sent to Taiwei Qiao is related to Huluan?"

Well…

Yuan Kai's eyes widened all of a sudden, "Then you know, when Wuhuan went south, Liu Yu's attitude was war? Peace?"

"This..." He Jin scratched his head, he really didn't know.

From his expression, Yuan Wei also saw something.

To know…

The Yuan family and Wuhuan were married... and there have been marriages for many generations.

It is no exaggeration to say that Wuhuan is also a reliable ally in the process of the Yuan family's great progress!

Therefore…

In Yuan Kui's view, from the standpoint of the Runan Yuan family...

Wuhuan going south...you should give gifts of money, cloth, and food, and continue to practice the "redemption policy" formulated by Emperor Guangwu...which continues to this day...

If there is a real war...

No matter who wins or loses, his Runan Yuan family will lose an important ally!

and…

I hope that Liu Yu's attitude is "peace talks!"

At this moment... Yuan Kai's eyes narrowed, and there was more suspicion in his eyes!
