Chapter 141 The situation in Wancheng is at the end of the ban!

Chapter 141 The situation in Wancheng is at the end of the ban!
Nanyang is "a hotbed of scholars" with many talents.

Especially during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang, as the "Southern Capital" and "Emperor Township", was extremely prosperous, and there was a blowout of celebrities.

Among the 28 generals in Yuntai, 13 were from Nanyang.

These celebrities are either loyal to the country or serving the regime, and there are countless people who have made achievements.Those who are good at attacking are warriors;

in the original history.

Among the 15 people who worked in the central institutions of the Shu Han regime, there were 5 scholars from Nanyang: Shangshu Ling Chen Zhen, Shangshu Ling Li Yan, Shangshu Ling Lu Yi, Shangshu Shi Fan Jian, Ping Shang Shushi, General Dong Jue .

In addition, the Nanyang scholars also included Huang Zhong, the general of the rear, Hu Ji, the general of the right hussars, Guo Youzhi, the servant, Wei Yan, the general of the western expedition, Zongyu, the general of the town army, the governor of Yanzhou, Huang Zhu of Guang Luxun, and the supervisor of the army. Later General Liu Yong, Guanghan Prefect Zhang Cun, Chariot General Deng Zhi, Lingling Prefect Hao Pu, General Sima Duqi, Tunqi Xiaowei, Prime Minister Chief Shi Wanglian, Grand Chief Qiu Xu Ci, General Zhishen Lai Min , Biedu Fu Xun and his son Fu Qian...

Nanyang is the birthplace of Liu Bei Group and the place where the early core group of the Shu Han regime was formed.

At the same time, Nanyang was the largest county in the Eastern Han Dynasty!

It has a large jurisdiction area and a large population, with a total of 37 cities, 52 households and 550 populations.

of course
These records were all before the war. Nanyang had several wars, and its population had already reached 200 million.

But there may still be millions of people.

At worst, there are 80 million people.

Counting 10 people, it is worth less than half of the population of Yizhou.

The importance of winning this place to Liu Bei's side can be seen.

now.

Wancheng.

In the lobby of the government office in the city.

Guan Ping sat on the main seat, looking at the documents in his hands, but sighed.

"I was supposed to kill the general, so why should I bother about the case? Father should send the chief book over."

Wancheng has a lot of affairs, Guan Ping is in charge of the overall situation, and these few days have made him extremely anxious.

I've read a few baskets of this document.

Receive the Nanyang gentry, conquer everyone's hearts, stabilize the situation in Wancheng, and build defenses inside and outside the city.
One pile, one pile, tortured Guan Ping to the point where he wanted to live and die.

Hao Pu and his lieutenant Xi Zhen were also in the lobby.

"In my opinion, these mundane tasks should be left to Zong Ziqing and the others. It's a pity that His Highness is not here. Otherwise, the Nanyang nobles can be taken care of. These errands will not fall on us."

Hao Pu was also from Nanyang County, but compared to the Nanyang Zong clan, it was not enough.

"I think that Dong Ligun, Zong Ziqing, Ying Yu and others should not be easily believed. Xinye has already left, and then it is enough for my father to bring a few people who are good at writing from the army." Guan Ping was still quite cautious in his heart.

"The county guard Dongli Gun, Gong Cao Zong Ziqing, Ying Yu and others, although they had their hearts towards Cao Cao before, now that Xinye has fallen and Wancheng is in the hands of our army, it is expected that they will not dare to turn their backs. Give me a step to completely stabilize Wancheng."

Guan Ping looked at Hao Pu suspiciously, and asked, "But did they find the prefect?"

Hao Pu was born in Nanyang County, so Dongli Gun and Zong Ziqing naturally looked for him.

There is nothing to hide.

Hao Pu looked as usual, and said: "They came to me last night. The 37 cities in Nanyang, except Rang County and Champion, are still in the hands of Wenpin and Xu Shang, and have not yet been attached. The rest of the counties are in Xinye and Wancheng. If the general is able to bring the Nanyang gentry back to his heart, then Nanyang Fang can really be in his hands, otherwise, we will have to fight city by city, when will we be able to settle Nanyang?"

Seeing the flickering look in Guan Ping's eyes, Hao Pu continued: "The king of Wei has sent general Xu Huang here. If we can integrate the power of the whole Nanyang county, the Wei army will be worthless. If we can't use the power of the people of Nanyang, Wancheng is nothing more than an isolated city. Can Xu Gongming be stopped then?"

The truth is indeed this truth.

But can these people be trusted?
"A literati poet, his mind is uncertain, who knows whether he is sincerely attached, or is he pretending to surrender?"

"If the generals are all looking at them suspiciously, it means that someone has sincerely attached themselves, and it is also a false surrender. Only sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity."

"Never mind!"

He is not very good at such things as taking care of one's heart.

It is better to kill on the battlefield than to intrigue with others.

"I'm going to have a banquet with them in the government office tonight, and I'll open up if I have something to say!"

These things were originally entrusted to His Highness, but now they are in his hands.

Industry specializing in surgery.

He Guan Ping is not good at this.

When Hao Pu heard this, his face also had a look of joy.

"If that's the case, then Mr. Hao will inform them immediately."

Guan Ping nodded in agreement.

That night.

Moon stars are rare.

The Wancheng government office next to the ruined county guard's mansion was very lively, there was a lot of traffic outside the government office, and there was an endless stream of guests coming and going. In the hall of the government office, there was already a banquet.

Dong Ligun, Zong Ziqing, Ying Yu, Guan Ping, Hao Pu, Xi Zhen, Hou Yin, Wei Kai and others were next in line.

Guan Ping sat on the main seat, and at the moment, in front of the restaurant, there were delicious food and wine.

"I respect General Guan for this bowl of wine, please!" Dongli Gun raised the red lacquered wine bowl and saluted Guan Pingping.

Guan Ping also raised his wine bowl and raised it in the direction of Dongli Gun, as a return of courtesy.

"Sheriff, please."

After drinking a bowl of wine, his chest felt warm, and Guan Ping's mood improved a lot.

Alcohol is a good thing.

"General Hou, this bowl is my respect for you."

Dong Ligun drank a bowl of hot wine, but brought up a bowl of wine and toasted Hou Yin.

Dong Ligun's actions confused Hou Yin.

He humiliated Dongli Gun for a long time in the county guard's mansion that day. Does this person not only have no hatred in his heart, but also why should he explain it to me?

Although Hou Yin was confused, he didn't reach out to hit the smiling face.

He raised his glass in return.

Enemies should be settled rather than knotted, and they may still be colleagues in the future. It is best to reconcile if they can reconcile.

"The situation was complicated that day. I failed to restrain my subordinates and allowed them to defile the lord's concubine. It's my fault. After I go down, those rough men who committed murder that day will be punished by military law and give the lord an explanation!"

Military law?

Explain?

Dong Ligun snorted coldly in his heart.

The humiliation of that day is still vivid in his mind.

That was right in front of him! ! !
However, although Dong Ligun hated it in his heart, there was a smile on his face at the moment.

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

He said very generously:

"Brothers are like siblings, and women are like clothes. You and I are both temperamental, so there is no need to be like this. If the general takes a fancy to my beautiful concubine, I will send it to the general's room tonight for the general to enjoy."

Seeing Dongli Gun so knowledgeable, Hou Yin was very happy.

Now that he has made meritorious service in dedicating the city, General Xiao Guan is already His Royal Highness, and it is heard that His Highness wants to recruit him into the lecture hall, into the Prince's residence, and even make him a general.

With the soldiers of Jingzhou and Liu Chan, Prince of Hanzhong, as his backer, Hou Yin could already walk sideways in Nanyang.

When he saw Dong Li Gong before, he still needed to salute and say hello to him.

What about now?
This Nanyang prefect Dongli Gun was insulted by him earlier, but now he has to greet him with a smile.

This deal was done right!

"How can I, Hou Yin, win someone's love? Absolutely not. The Fu Zun is willing to let go of the past, so Hou Yin is very impressed. This bowl of wine, I respect you!"

Dongli Gun also drank a bowl of wine, he poured the wine bowl back, indicating that he had already drank all the wine.

"Give away your grievances with a glass of wine, don't bring up this matter again. In the future, if you work under General Xiaoguan, you and I will be colleagues."

Seeing that the two reconciled, Guan Ping was very satisfied and kept nodding his head.

He also heard about what happened in Wancheng that day.

It's true that Hou Yin's actions are not authentic.

Do whatever you want.

As a result, a group of personal guards were asked to do it.

Is this appropriate?

Besides, when you do it, you do it.

At least turn off the lights!
And in front of others!

I turn off the lights!
Guan Ping complained in his heart.

Fortunately, the conflict is resolved now.

This Dongli Gun is a magnanimous person, he is able to achieve the position of Nanyang prefect, and there is indeed something special about him.

"The eunuch just said something, but there is still something wrong. How can I, Guan Ping, let the eunuch be under my command? They are all serving the king, and they are all serving His Highness."

When I, Guan Ping, am the King of the Mountain!
Dong Li Gun said quickly: "I made a slip of the tongue."

"However, it is very good to see the two of you sharing wine and grievances. I, Guan Ping, have no enmity with you. It is my duty as a general to capture Wancheng. You did everything you can to defend Wancheng that day. With all our strength, there is a gap between each other, and each is the master, and now we are all colleagues, and the past grievances are just like just now, and the grievances and enmity are wiped out with a glass of wine, come, drink this cup to the full."

It's all in the wine!
Zong Ziqing drank a glass of wine, refilled a bowl of wine, stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "That's right, just now the Honorable Caifu said it well: Brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes. We are half siblings, you and I run Wancheng together, if we can make contributions now, we might not be able to be conferred the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, and achieve personal achievements!"

"That's a good word, come, drink this cup to the full!"

This wine looks like it needs to drink a few more glasses.

Originally talking to these descendants in the hall, it was really not warm at all.

Guan Ping felt that these people were unwilling, and they might not really accept the surrender.

And these descendants would probably feel that he, Guan Ping, was insincere.

But today's banquet, the relationship between the two parties was instantly drawn closer.

Sure enough, it was all in the wine!

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Everyone was a little dizzy from drinking.

Like Hao Pu, who pours wine into his stomach, after a few jars of wine, the whole person is already lying down.

Although Guan Ping is good at drinking, his capacity for drinking is not bad, coupled with deliberate control, although his face is flushed and his head is a little dizzy now, but in terms of drunkenness, he is far from that level.

"General Guan!"

Zong Ziqing brought the wine to Guan Ping.

"I have a daughter in my family. It's time for marriage. How about marrying the general as his wife?"

marry me?
Guan Ping smiled and politely refused.

"I already have a wife, can An marry again?"

Zong Ziqing didn't think so.

"Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines?"

He frowned at Guan Ping, and said: "My clan girl is very beautiful, if the general sees her, she will definitely scratch her head and scratch her head, wishing she could enter the bridal chamber right away."

I'm not interested in women.

"You can give it to Your Highness, Your Highness is a good woman"

But after Fang finished speaking, Guan Ping felt a little regretful.

Your Highness is a womanizer?
This is true.

At such a young age, she was surrounded by a group of Yingying and Yanyan, and she already had several confidante friends.

But your highness is such a womanizer, he is still my brother-in-law!

Is there any reason for a brother-in-law to be a matchmaker for a brother-in-law?
If his younger sister found out, she wouldn't have stabbed him with a silver gun.

"Your Highness is so honorable, how can my family be worthy of it? The marriage between my family and the general is also an expression of aspirations, and I ask the general to accept my wishes, so as to comfort the hearts of the nobles in Nanyang!"

Marrying someone can make people feel at ease?
Guan Ping thought for a while, then nodded slowly.

Anyway, he has nothing to lose.

"Anzhong Zong's family, a family of officials, 34 people who are the best ministers, who are unparalleled at the time, why should the meritorious people humiliate themselves? The daughter of Xu Zong's family and His Royal Highness are also in the same family. Your family is willing to marry a talented woman and take care of me. Ping's wife, I, Guan Ping, naturally agree."

Guan Ping decided to make a good sacrifice tonight for the sake of An Nanyang's gentry.

"That's it, you and I will be a family in the future, that is the real colleagues, the real brothers!"

"Not bad!"

The banquet that night will only end in the middle of the night.

But when the night is dark, the beauty of Guanping's bungalow is not enough for outsiders to understand.

Ye County.

Wei Junying.

In the tent of the Chinese army.

Under the shade of the lights, Xu Huang was looking at the military book in his hand.

"Report~"

Outside the tent, some soldiers came to report.

"What's the matter?"

Xu Huang raised his head, with a little impatience in his eyes.

"The envoy of King Wei has arrived."

The king's messenger?
Xu Huang was taken aback for a moment, but soon came to his senses.

It must be a message to send troops!

He put the book of war on the case and said: "Invite the envoy quickly."

"promise!"

Not long after, a middle-aged scribe in brocade robes slowly walked in.

When Xu Huang saw it, there was surprise in his eyes.

"Zhongda, why are you?"

It turned out that the envoy of King Wei was Sima Zhongda.

Sima Yi has a round face with big ears, square mouth and thick lips, now with a smile on his face, his appearance is extraordinary.

However, there is a mole on his left eye, and a few black hairs on the mole, people will be attracted by the mole when they see his appearance.

"This time as an envoy, the king asked me to help you."

Zhong Da smiled lightly, and took out the edict of King Wei from his cuff.

"Your Majesty, accept the imperial edict."

Xu Huang got up quickly when he heard this, and gave Sima Yi the main seat, while he himself half-kneeled under the tent.

"The last general, Xu Huang, listen to Wei Wang's edict."

Seeing that the etiquette is in place, Sima Yi slowly read out the contents of the imperial edict.

"Xu Huang, the Marquis of Fengdu Ting, obeys orders. On September 25th, the troops will attack Wancheng. There must be no mistakes!"

After Xu Huang heard about it, his face was filled with joy.

On September 25, the army attacked Wancheng?

Counting the time, there are only about ten days left.

He raised his hands to receive the imperial edict, got up and hurriedly approached Sima Yi, and asked, "Zhongda, before your majesty ordered you to come, did you have any orders?"

The dispatch of troops on September 25, with such a detailed schedule, must have been arranged.

Sima Yi stepped down from the throne and said, "This is a secret, and you must not tell outsiders."

"Don't worry, I understand the rules."

Hearing this, Sima Yi said slowly: "Your Majesty and Jiangdong Sun Quan have already formed an alliance to attack Yunchang together. The time is set on September 25th."

"It was so."

Xu Huang nodded, his eyes thoughtful.

"Jiangdong is full of rats. It is said that it is September 25th, maybe October will be the first time to send troops. Don't believe the words of the covenant. Our army will start on September 25th. On October [-]st, we will fight against Yunchang."

Based on Sun Quan's pissing nature in Jiangdong, he said that it was September 25th, and Xu Huang would be grateful if he could send troops on October [-]st.

"What does Zhong Da think?"

Sima Bada and Xu Huang had heard of the famous names.

Sima Yi often offered advice in the Wei Palace, and he was a member of the Yingchuan gentry, so Xu Huang still recognized Sima Yi's talent.

"Your Majesty's edict has a statement: attack Wancheng on September 25th, and there are many ways to attack, such as persuading surrender, using time, building fortifications, etc., can also be regarded as attacking."

The two old foxes looked at each other and smiled, without saying anything.

After laughing, Sima Yi asked from the side: "Does the general have a plan in mind to attack Wancheng?"

plan?

Xu Huang had a bitter look on his face, he shook his head lightly, and sighed slowly.

"Hey! If there is a plan, I won't read military books at night."

Reading the book of war at night, I naturally wanted to find out from the book of war the strategy of attacking Wancheng and defeating Yunchang.

It's just that the more he read the book of war, the heavier his heart became.

Nanyang You Yunchang and Hanzhong Crown Prince Liu Chan, one is brave and the other is cunning, it is really difficult to deal with.

Kuangwan City has been taken down by Yunchang, and Xinye is also broken, leaving only Rang County, which is currently being besieged by Jingzhou soldiers!
This is going to break the game, how should we do it?
All Xu Huang could think of was head-to-head confrontation.

If he led his troops forward and beheaded Guan Yunchang and Liu Chan, the Prince of Hanzhong, the crisis in Nanyang would naturally be resolved.

but.
How easy is it to kill Guan Yunchang and that Liu Gongsi?
Xu Huang raised his head to look at Sima Yi, with a look of expectation in his eyes.

"Does Zhong Da have a clever plan?"

Seeing Sima Yi smiling without saying a word, Xu Huang suddenly felt hopeful.

"If Zhong Da has a plan, teach me quickly!"

"If the alliance with Jiangdong has been completed, then why do you need to plan? You can rest assured, as long as you drag the main force of Jingzhou soldiers to Wancheng, your mission will be completed."

After hearing Sima Yi's words, Xu Huang still had a worried look on his face.

"That Sun Zhongmou always makes me worry."

Sima Yi patted the dust on his sleeves, and said softly: "If the general is not at ease, he can resort to countermeasures."

Countermeasures?
This sounds like a viable strategy.

"How to retaliate? Whom to rebel against?"

"Nanyang gentry, as well as Liu Feng and Meng Da."

Xu Huang was thoughtful, while Sima Yi stretched his waist and said, "It's getting late, the general should rest earlier."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xu Huang to stop him, he left the tent.

Also.

Xu Huang also wanted to understand.

He was already a general, fighting on the battlefield, why would he think about these things?
Since your Majesty sent Sima Zhongda to the army, he was here as his brain truster and as his staff.

Let Zhong Da handle these messy matters.

Sun Zhongmou, Sun Zhongmou, I hope you will be a trustworthy gentleman once again!
Newfield.

above the castle.

It was early morning at this moment, and Liu Chan and Guan Yinping were patrolling the city tower.

There are still traces of the war a few days ago on the city wall. Some blood stains have coagulated into blood clots, mixed with bricks and tiles, and it is difficult to completely remove them.

Fortunately, no matter how cruel the war is, it cannot prevent the sun from rising from the east as usual.

Under the reflection of the morning sun, the mountains in the distance are looming, shrouded in a layer of mist, like a fairyland-like scenery.

Liu Chan took a deep breath, suddenly felt refreshed, and his mood became joyful.

Although the traces of the war on Xinye City are still there, fortunately the offensive and defensive battle of Xinye City has not reached the final stage, otherwise it is unknown how many people in this city will survive.

Wenpin fled, which can be regarded as saving the lives of the people in Xinye City in disguise.

"Your Highness, how about we have a competition?"

Thinking of the look of begging for mercy last night, Guan Yinping was quite upset. At this moment, his big smart eyes were rolling, and he wanted to regain his prestige on the school grounds!
This girl.
Liu Chan glanced at her, but did not refuse like before.

In the past few months, Liu Chan's body has grown rapidly, as if he had taken hormones.

Now it is about the same height as Guan Yinping.

Because of the frequent exercise and Liu Chan's big appetite, this body can actually be called strong.

Thinking about his martial arts, maybe it's time to take down this girl.

"Then you can try it yourself."

Guan Yinping was overjoyed when he heard this.

"This is what you said, don't go back!"

She immediately took Liu Chan's hand and hurriedly ran to the school ground of the camp in the city.

Guan Yinping tied her hair into a ponytail, and looked at Liu Chan with a half-smile.

"Your Highness, is it a swordsmanship contest, or boxing kung fu?"

"Fist and kick."

Swords have no eyes. Although Liu Chan has martial arts now, he can't send and receive completely freely.

It would be bad if it hurt the silver screen.

"it is good!"

Guan Yinping immediately jumped onto the field, and was eagerly looking at Liu Chan!
"Lang Jun, come~"

Liu Chan took off his outer armor, leaving only his white inner shirt.

"I won't show mercy!"

"Hmph!" Guan Yinping snorted softly.

In terms of kung fu in bed, I am not as good as you when I turn off the silver screen.

But your kung fu on the school field is not as good as mine!
The two stood upright, with firm eyes, and looked at each other, revealing their determination to fight.

Outside the school field, Fei Yi pulled Dong Yun over, and the two of them hid behind a mulberry tree.

"Xiu Zhao, in this duel, who is stronger, His Highness or Mrs. Guan?"

Dong Yun glanced at Fei Yi angrily.

"Did you finish the task at hand? How dare you peek at Your Highness? Be careful of what I will tell you in front of Your Highness!"

When did you, Fei Wenwei, become so gossipy?

"Don't look at yourself!"

As a bright light bulb, Fei Yi's anti-reconnaissance awareness is excellent.

For example, Liu Chan and Guan Yinping who are on the school field don't notice him now.

"It's not impossible to have a look." Dong Yun whispered.

"Humph!"

Fei Yi snorted softly at Dong Yun to show his disdain.

Obviously you want it, but you still say no?
The man's mouth is really a deceiving ghost!

But at this moment, on the school field, Liu Chan and Guan Yinping were already fighting together.

Guan Yinping launched an offensive swiftly, his figure soared into the air like lightning, showing agility both vertically and horizontally.

She punches quickly, every move and style is full of strength and speed, turning the strength of her fists into a violent storm, unstoppable.Her fists and feet were as fierce as a beast, and they landed on Liu Chan's body continuously, making him unable to breathe.

This little girl is really merciless.

Although the fist and foot were blocked, but the punch was to the flesh, and the pain was still unavoidable.

but
Based on these alone, do you want to pass my level, Liu Gongsi?
Liu Chan was not discouraged, he stabilized his mind and gradually found his own rhythm.He dealt with Guan Yinping's attack steadily step by step, using his body's coordination and flexibility to defuse her fists and feet.Although Liu Chan's boxing seems slow, every punch and kick is extremely accurate, and every swing contains a combination of rigidity and softness.

As the competition progressed, Liu Chan gradually found Guan Yinping's weakness. He quickly counterattacked and shifted the attack to the opponent with more precise punching skills.

The wind of his fist was sharp and steady, like a torrent in the mountains, hitting Guan Yinping's body.Every punch is like a hammer blow, with amazing power.

Why is Lang Jun so powerful?
Guan Yinping was astonished and tried hard to resist the opponent's attack.

However, Liu Chan's fight became smoother and smoother, especially his understanding of Guan Yinping's body, which can be said to be perfect, and the depth and outline are well controlled.

In this way, Liu Chan's boxing skills have entered an extraordinary state, his movements are as smooth as running water, and he has both offensive and defensive skills.

Finally, in the final fist fight, Liu Chan knocked Guan Yinping back with an extremely precise punch.

"Feng'er, I accept it."

In the end, Guan Yinping still had a look of disbelief on his face.

"When did Your Highness practice Kung Fu?"

She followed Yinping from morning to night, when did she, a good man, practice kung fu?

"Besides, treat each other with admiration for three days. When you were sleeping late, I came out to do morning exercises."

When Liu Chan said this, Guan Yinping's face couldn't help but blush.

If she hadn't practiced too hard at night, she wouldn't be able to get up in the morning.

Blame it?

Is it not your fault?

For Guan Yinping's resentful expression, Liu Chan naturally pretended that he didn't see it.

"Can you two come out now?"

Do you really think I didn't see it?

"I will wait to see Your Highness."

With embarrassing smiles on their faces, Fei Yi and Dong Yun hurried forward to salute Liu Chan.

"I've seen Mrs. Guan."

With the degree of His Highness's love, the status of the Guan family's wife, the crown princess, cannot be escaped.

It's very windy next to the pillow, so it's always good to make a good relationship in advance.

"Ah."

Guan Yinping nodded, and then stood behind Liu Chan pretending to be nonchalant.

Lost people!

He couldn't beat Lang Jun, but he was seen by others.

"The errand for you is finished? Are you free to come to Xinye now?"

Fei Yi and Dong Yun felt Liu Chan's resentment, and both of them knew in their hearts that if they didn't come up with a legitimate reason, they would probably be scolded by His Highness.

"I'm here because I have something important to do. On behalf of the Nanyang gentry, Han Yao and Uncle Zong Hui request to see His Highness."

"Oh?"

Watching Fei Yi and Dong Yun go to preach and soothe people's hearts is still somewhat useful.

"Bring them into the Fuchu lobby."

"promise!"

Seeing that the matter was revealed, Fei Yi smiled and quickly complimented: "Your Highness is heroic and mighty, I just saw it. Your Highness has undue courage, which is really admirable."

"I want to see it next time. You don't need to be sneaky. You two are my confidantes. Why do you need to hide?"

Liu Chan patted Fei Yi's shoulder lightly, and said, "Do your job well and don't play tricks."

Fei Yi scratched the back of his head with a simple and honest smile on his face.

"My subordinate understands."

You slick, you understand very well.

Liu Chan glared at Fei Yi, then returned to the backyard of the county government office with Guan Yinping, washed up briefly, changed into decent attire, and then left for the lobby of the Xinye government office.

Not long after taking the main seat in the government office lobby, Fei Yi led the two of them into the room slowly.

"Your Highness, the person has brought it."

"Han Yao (Uncle Zong Hui) pays his respects to Your Highness."

"No need to be polite, just get up."

Liu Chan looked at the two people saluting under the hall.

Han Yao is still young, while Uncle Zong Hui is already middle-aged.

"Fang went to Nanyang. Originally, I wanted to call Nanyang literati to hold a poetry meeting, so that I could experience the demeanor of these Nanyang scholars. I didn't want you two to come here in person."

As for Han Yao and Uncle Zong Hui, Liu Chan learned about them when he looked through the materials in Jiangling's study and asked for news.

Han Yao is the second son of Han Ji, and now his father Han Ji and his elder brother Han Zhao are officials in Xudu!
Moreover, he is also an official position like a supervisor. He is good at the study of Luban, military equipment, and the method of water drainage. He is very proficient.

Compared with those literati who can only pass on classics, Liu Chan values ​​​​this kind of practical talents.

As for Uncle Zong Hui, he is the descendant of the Anzhong Zong family, and is of the same family as Zong Ziqing.

It is also normal for people of one clan to be officials in different forces.

For example, Zhuge's family, Wei, Shu and Wu have invested all over the place.

No matter who wins, the Zhuge family is the winner.

Han Yao's father and brother were officials in the state of Wei, and now that Liu Chan occupies Nanyang, it's not that he can't be used by Liu Chan.

"Your Highness has a heart of fists and fists, which is really admirable. Your Highness will be exempted from oral and calculation gifts for one year when you come to Nanyang. You are considerate of the people's sentiments. We are impressed by your highness's demeanor. To tell you the truth, the two of us came here to express our gratitude to the people." Your Highness expresses the wishes of the Nanyang gentry, and if Your Highness has orders, we will drive for His Highness."

The two of them came here early, naturally they wanted to take a good position beside Liu Chan.

Now Hanzhong King Liu Bei is in full swing. If they follow Hanzhong King Prince Liu Chan, their status will naturally rise after the Hanzhong King succeeds.

Following Liu Chan now is an early investment, and the return must be considerable.

"I have two, like a fish in water. I will hold a banquet in Xinye in five days. You two can invite talented people from Nanyang to come. I will personally test the school's literary and martial arts, and choose the best one to enter the Prince's Mansion and lecture hall."

When the two heard Liu Chan's words, their eyes lit up.

"Your Highness ordered, I will do it right away!"

The two acted swiftly and resolutely, and they were going to inform the others right now.

Obviously, Liu Chan's attitude of accepting talents has been recognized by them. It is foreseeable that under the guidance of Han Yao and Uncle Zong Hui, there must be many talented children gathered under Liu Chan's command.

"There are still five days left, don't be in a hurry, why don't you stay and have a feast, I have some questions, and I want to ask you for advice."

Liu Chan still needs to understand the specific situation in Nanyang County.

Before in Jiangling, I only learned about the situation in Nanyang County from books and from outsiders.

Like Hao Pu, although he is from Nanyang, but he has been away from Nanyang County for too long, so many news are outdated.

These two are the core figures of the Nanyang gentry, and they have lived in Nanyang for a long time. After asking about the situation, Liu Chan will be able to understand the specific information of Nanyang County more clearly.

This information is not only reflected in geography, but more in details such as humanities and communication.

These seemingly insignificant information can give you unexpected gains at certain critical moments.

Uncle Zong Hui and Han Yao looked at each other and stopped.

"Your Majesty has a request, and I will serve you."

Now that I came to Liu Chan's tent, I was able to work as an aide for the Crown Prince of Hanzhong. This is how much His Highness values ​​us!
that day.

Liu Chan asked Uncle Zong Hui and Han Yao about various matters, and unconsciously, they became closer.

This situation also made Fei Yi on the side quite emotional.

When it comes to the means of winning people's hearts, His Highness is not much worse than the King!

His Royal Highness seems to have learned all the housekeeping skills of the old Liu family.

Unlike the tranquility here in Xinye, Fancheng was already surrounded by heavy soldiers.

Upstairs in Fancheng, Yu Jin's complexion was as dark as the bottom of a cauldron that had been burned for a year. He stared at the increasing besieging army outside the city, and his heart was half cold.

"Your Majesty, look at the banners of the soldiers outside the city. They should be the Wudang Flying Army stationed in Wuling. They sent troops from Wuling."

Wrong Flying Army
What is the situation ahead?

General Cao Ren, can you make it through?
There are too many questions, lingering in the forbidden heart.

"Is there any news from the scouts released these days?"

Yu Jin looked at Man Chong, with the last glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Man Chong's complexion is also ugly, because of many days of thinking, the hair that was originally neat has become messy. He is in the prime of life, but the gray hair has gradually climbed to the top of his head.

"The scouts sent out have no news."

It's strange to have news.

Under the siege of Jingzhou soldiers, it is not easy to spread the news.

Inquiring for news in the territory controlled by the Shu army, if one is not careful, he will end up being caught and killed, not to mention going through the encirclement of Jingzhou soldiers to send the news back to the city.

This is too difficult, it can be called hell level.

Unless there is a hang, there is no news, which is normal.

"Hey! I was waiting in the city, and I didn't know anything about the news outside. I became deaf and blind."

There is such a bad news in the besieged city.I don't know the news from the outside world, and the number of enemy troops outside the city is increasing day by day, so I must feel panic in my heart.

As soon as this panic comes out, morale is bound to drop.

As the commander in chief, he felt uneasy, let alone those ordinary soldiers.

"I don't know the news outside the city, and the morale of the army is low. How can I defend the city?"

Although Man Chong's heart is also messy, he has not yet reached the level of panic.

"Guan Yunchang encircles and does not attack, which means that the troops are insufficient. From this point of view, the general should still be there. Please cheer up and hold on for more than a month. Jingzhou's soldiers are short of food and will definitely retreat!"

Hearing Man Chong's words, although Yu Jin was still depressed, he really had to cheer up as a general.

He has to set an example in front of the soldiers!
"How much food and grass is there in the city?"

"Enough for the rest of the month."

When Guan Yunchang flooded the Seventh Army that day, the flood also passed through Fancheng.

At that time around Fancheng, there were white waves surging to the sky, and the water was getting stronger, and the city wall gradually collapsed. Even the people in Fancheng, no matter whether they were men or women, could not fill it up.

All the generals in the city were terrified, at that time Yu Jin wanted to retreat and wanted to run out of the city, but Man Chong persuaded him.

After that, Yu Jin stabilized the morale of the army and set up hundreds of bows and crossbows on the city. The soldiers guarded them day and night and did not dare to slack off.Residents, old and young, filled the city walls with earth and rocks.Within ten days, the water potential gradually receded.

Only then did Fancheng be defended.

If no one attacked, it would just be flooded, and the morale of the army would be low.

Soldiers who dare to fight are becoming rarer and rarer.

The most important thing is that when the flood flooded into the city, the stored grain was submerged.

Lost more than half of the grain and grass.

Otherwise, the grain and grass in Fancheng could last for several months, instead of the current one which only lasted for more than a month.

I can't keep it.

Yu Jin felt sad.

When there is a flood, it may be a good opportunity to retreat.

But now, the chance to retreat is getting slimmer and slimmer.

"I hope the general is still there. All I can do now is defend the city."

What else could he do besides this?
He looked at the Shu army camp outside the city and thought to himself: You'd better besiege the city slowly, if you can delay it for a while now, let alone a while, he, Yu Wenze, has been loyal to King Wei.

And this time.

In the camp of the Shu army outside the city.

A Huinan, who was wearing armor, looked at the generals in the tent at this moment.

"You are good at training soldiers and forging siege equipment. I will go to see His Highness and accept His Highest instructions!"

In the tent, Jin Huan Sanjie, Dong Chana, and Yang Ben took orders one after another.

"promise!"

Ah Hui was about to set off to meet Liu Chan, but a laugh came from outside the tent at this moment.

"The general doesn't have to go to Xinye."

Ah Hui was a little stunned when he saw the middle-aged general who had entered the account.

"you are?"

Had it not been for the token of His Highness the Prince in his hand, Ah Huinan would have ordered someone to take him down long ago.

"I'm Mi Fang, the prefect of Nanjun. My son, Mi Yang, often mentions the general in front of me."

Mi Fang?

Ah Hui Nan hurried forward, bowed to Mi Fang, and said: "So it's the prefect, Ah Hui Nan is not far away to welcome you."

Mi Fang smiled lightly and said, "I'm here to deliver news for His Highness."

Mi Fang took out Liu Chan's secret letter from her pocket and handed it to Ah Huinan.

"The general will know it when he sees it."

Could it be that His Highness has the ability to predict the future?

I was going to visit him, so he sent an envoy over.

Ah Hui took the letter, opened it and read it, a look of joy flashed across his face.

"Attacking the city is the bottom line, and attacking the heart is the top priority. Your Highness wants you to send an envoy to Fancheng to persuade Yu Jin to surrender?"

Mi Fang shook her head and said, "I'm not eloquent, and someone else will go about persuading them to surrender."

He, Mi Fang, came here to make a fool of himself, why would he go to Fancheng, a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair, to put himself in a dangerous situation?
He has already thought about it.

After Jiangling's incident, plus he is getting older, his future will be like this in the future.

Now his only thought is to pave the way for his son Mi Yang, so that he doesn't become a drag.

Things that take risks and make meritorious deeds are given to those in need.

"Oh?"

Although the matter of persuading surrender is dangerous, serious envoys are relatively safe.

After all, the two armies do not fight each other.

As long as the two sides have some grace and keep a front line so that they can meet each other in the future, they won't be able to kill the envoy.

"Who is the messenger?"

"it's me!"

Xu Xiang came from behind Mi Fang.

Previously he persuaded Mi Fang to surrender, this time it is his turn to persuade Yu Wenze to surrender.

I didn't get any credit for persuading Mi Fang to surrender before, but now I have to keep the great credit in my hands for persuading Mi Fang to surrender!
"It's not too late, sir, go and persuade him to surrender."

Xu Xiang shook his head.

"His Royal Highness has something to say: go now, the effect of persuading surrender is not significant. Please ask the general to attack the city to consume the morale of the Wei army, and then shoot into the news that Cao Ren has been defeated and Wancheng has fallen. Only when I enter the city again will it be effective."

Go in now, for fear of losing your life.

It is still necessary to destroy the morale of Wei Jun in Fancheng, so that the effect of persuading surrender can be multiplied with half the effort.

"it is good!"

Ah Huinan immediately understood the meaning of Xu Xiang's words, he turned his head to look at Yang Ben, and asked, "How is the siege equipment in the army going?"

Yang Ben stepped forward and said, "It's enough to attack the city for a day."

In fact, preparations have been made for a few days ahead, but before the army arrived, the speed of building siege equipment was a bit slow.

It's only enough for one day, which is not enough.

Ah Hui rolled his eyes, and then said: "Build siege equipment overnight, and send troops to attack the city early tomorrow morning!"

With these siege equipment, especially the morale of the defending Wei army is not high, it is not impossible to capture Fancheng.

Even if it is impossible to attack, the morale of the Wei army in the city will be hit, and it will pave the way for His Royal Highness' envoys to persuade them to surrender.

"promise!"

Yang Ben took the order immediately!

From his background in martial arts, he was able to be a school lieutenant, so he naturally has some skills.

Take the order to go at this moment, without any delay.

It was night, and Wudang Feijun built siege equipment without stopping all night. A large number of civilians and village braves participated in it. The speed of building siege equipment can be called rapid.

The next day.

Ah Huinan sits in the main tent of the Chinese army, and Jinhuan Sanjie is the first to attack the city. He leads an army of five thousand and prepares to attack the city.

The siege equipment is already ready, and they stand in front of Fancheng at this moment, which is very oppressive.

dong dong dong~
With the sound of war drums, the siege soldiers hid among the siege equipment such as the female wall, and moved steadily towards the top of the city. Behind them, the trebuchet had already started throwing boulders towards the top of the city.

Ah Hui frowned slightly, and unconsciously clenched his fists.

This battle is also the first battle of the Wudang Flying Army. His Highness handed over 5 people to him. If he doesn't make a name for himself, wouldn't it be embarrassing for His Highness?
If the Wudang Flying Army is not an elite, then how can he, the leader of the Wudang Flying Army, be able to do it for a long time?

Ah Hui felt a little nervous.

But at the head of Fancheng, Yu Jin's face turned livid when he saw Wudang's flying army attacking the city.

His lips turned white, and bitterness appeared in his heart.

When you didn't tell about the cancellation on the day
Maybe he should run away, why is he in prison now, like the end of the road?
But regret it now, it's too late!

He gritted his teeth, and also launched a ruthless attack.

Defend the city!

If you want to break the city, you have to step over my corpse, Yu Wenze!
