Shuhan

Early morning hours.

Qichun.

In the small courtyard where the trainer settled.

The rising sun shines through the screen window, awakening Liu Chan from his sleep.

Liu Chan opened his hazy eyes, only to find that the person beside him was nowhere to be found.

The fragrance remains alone and secretly.

Of course, it also has the smell of heather and a light milky aroma.

Last night, I had a little too much fun.

Liu Chan simply put on his clothes neatly and walked out of the small courtyard slowly, but the trainer Bu was nowhere to be seen, and even the baby Sun Ba in the room was nowhere to be seen.

"Where did Queen Wu go?"

The maid of the Wu Palace who was still here said immediately: "Her Royal Highness the Queen has already set off for Chengdu."

After all, you have to go to Chengdu to pledge, so why stay in Qichun?

Reminiscing about the taste of yesterday, Liu Chan shook his head.

"Did you leave any letters?"

The palace maid shook her head and just said: "The queen said that these days, just treat it as a dream."

Can this be considered a dream?

woman!

You are playing with fire!

The smile on Liu Chan's face disappeared immediately.

"Do you think that if you go to Chengdu, I can't control you? You are naive!"

Liu Chan immediately left the small courtyard, led the prince's personal guards outside the courtyard, and headed towards the government office.

Things about the lower body are just a diversion from the boring world.

When it's time to do business, you still have to do business.

Now it is better to rendezvous with Zhou Che and go to Jiangling first.

And above the river, Bu Lianshi was holding a baby with fat flesh in his arms, blowing in the whistling river breeze, his beautiful eyes were already turning towards Chengdu.

She looked at Sun Ba who was drinking milk and murmured in a low voice: "Look, you don't have any milk to drink. It's all because of your gluttony yesterday."

Trainer Bu transferred Sun Ba to the wet nurse who had been waiting aside, and said, "Go and breastfeed."

"promise."

After the wet nurse left, Master Bu's personal maid came up and asked: "Your Majesty, why are you leaving in such a hurry? The prince of Han stayed in the small courtyard so openly. I am afraid that the king will know the news, and we will not be able to go back to Wu Kingdom." ”

Trainer Bu's personal maid had a sad look on her face.

In this era, women are inherently dependent on men.

Since King Wu can no longer rely on him, shouldn't he take advantage of the favor of the prince of Han to rely on him?

Why did you leave without saying goodbye?

"I am more capable than you in dealing with men."

After putting on his clothes, Trainer Bu said with a smile: "Men are all big pigs, they like the new and hate the old, especially that guy, he is very carefree, and there are countless beauties around him. Do you think I can compare to those girls? ?”

The palace maid looked at Master Bu.

Trainer Bu is plump and graceful, as if every inch of his skin is full of charm. A slight application of powder on her face made her look more charming.

At this moment, she was wearing palace attire, and she could not help but reveal the majesty of a queen.

"Of course Your Highness is beautiful, and he is as beautiful as those girls."

"How long can your beauty be maintained? To keep a man's heart, the first thing is to make him remember you. For this, it is not enough to serve him well. Don't the women around him not serve him? "

If you want him to remember it, you have to be special.

The status is special, and today's way of saying goodbye is also special.

"I'm afraid that there are too many warblers and swallows around him, and he will forget the queen."

Trainer Bu said with a smile: "With Ba'er here, he can't forget me. Besides, after spending the past few days with that person, maybe there will be movement in his stomach again!"

"It's just that when you arrive in Chengdu, it is someone else's territory after all."

Trainer Bu's personal maid had a sad look on her face.

"We brought so much money and silk there. With this money, we won't be wronged. And I think that although the man is carefree, he still treats women very well. Don't worry, we won't suffer when we go to Chengdu. .”

After learning that he was going to be sent to the Han Dynasty as a hostage, Bu Lianshi sold the dowry and some valuable things in Wu Palace.

This amount of money and silk is not a small amount.

It can be said that she is now a little rich woman.

Money can make the world go round.

What's more, when she arrived in Chengdu, she still had Xiaohu in the inner courtyard.

If her daughter is trained by her, she will definitely be able to hold that person's heart firmly in her hand.

Ah.

man!

And at the same time.

Pengcheng.

The siege battle has entered a very anxious stage.

The casualties of the Wei army were increasing. Of course, the Xuzhou soldiers guarding the city were not much better.

Even though Zang Ba had made preparations to defend the city before, he had prepared a lot of defensive equipment.

But Wei State does not treat people as human beings.

Directly use Xuzhou soldiers to feed arrows and consume city defense equipment.

Consumed one after another, the defensive equipment in Pengcheng has been almost consumed.

Going down further, there will be a battle on the city.

"Come on!"

"Kill~"

Another wave of Wei army attacks began.

This time the attack was not carried out by the original Xuzhou soldiers, but by the Wei army sent to attack.

As for the reason.

Very simple.

These miscellaneous Xuzhou soldiers are almost exhausted.

Even among Xuzhou soldiers, there was already a rebellious mood. Even the surrendered generals could not suppress it and almost broke out.

There is a mode for everything, that is, cattle and horses should be fed with some grass after being beaten.

Therefore, the remaining Xuzhou soldiers were dispersed and organized into various departments of the Wei army.

Regarding this result, Xuzhou soldiers applauded with both hands and shouted long live His Majesty the Emperor.

After all, from their point of view, it was because these Xuzhou generals sent them to the front line to die for their own wealth.

This is not.

These generals who lost their tribes were all granted the title of marquis in Wei State and were rewarded with countless wealth and silk.

These Xuzhou soldiers did not dare to resent Wei or Cao Pi, so they could only vent their anger on the incompetent Xuzhou generals.

Cao Pi also used this method to turn the remaining Xuzhou soldiers into Wei troops that he could control.

Using the siege, from the beginning to the end, these surrendered Xuzhou soldiers and Xuzhou generals were completely digested by him, without even leaving any bones.

Whoosh whoosh~

Arrows shot down like locusts.

Bang bang bang.

Rolling logs and rocks were thrown down with great force.

After the Wei army's offensive was stalled, Zang Ba immediately opened the city gate and ordered his cavalry general to lead his cavalry out of the city to attack. He killed the attacking Wei army and threw down their helmets and armor. When Wei's tiger and leopard cavalry came up in pursuit, they filed into the city again.

Defending a city is never just about defending.

Only by taking the initiative can we defend the city for a long time. For example, Pengcheng today is defended by two acropolis outside. The three cities form a triangle. No matter which one the Wei army attacks, the defenders in the other acropolis will choose the opportunity to attack. This is why Pengcheng can defend it until now.

woohoo~

The sound of Wei Jun's golden shouting started again.

Zang Ba has heard this voice countless times.

But there was no happiness on his face.

He knew in his heart that if the Wei army continued to attack the city with this intensity, he would really be unable to defend it within a month.

In the past, he could take advantage of the darkness to collect the corpses and retrieve some defensive equipment, but recently when the Wei army retreated, they took away the arrows and other defensive equipment.

If all the defensive equipment is used up, the city will be destroyed.

Han Dynasty

You should give me some strength!

How come Wei's main army can still attack me?

In the Wei army camp.

In the large tent of the Chinese army.

Cao Pi's face was not very good-looking, and he was in a bad mood. Naturally, the generals and officials in the tent did not dare to speak.

"Everyone, Pengcheng cannot be captured for a long time, what should we do?"

Chen Qun immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Pengcheng is strong and Zang Ba is very stubborn. His prestige in Xuzhou is unparalleled, so it is difficult to attack. However, even if it is difficult to attack, it only takes another month. In the remaining time, this Pengcheng will definitely be captured by our Kingdom of Wei!"

The meaning of Chen Qun's words was very clear. It was not that the sergeants did not work hard, but that Pengcheng was already difficult to attack.

"More than a month, do you have more than a month?"

Cao Pi snorted coldly and said: "According to the school affairs office, the Han army and civilians in Xunyang have all withdrawn. The Han army withdrew to Xiangyang, but it was not to Runan, but towards the three counties in the east. went."

The Han army's intentions became more and more obvious.

"It seems that the real purpose of Han State is in Hanzhong, not in Wu State!"

If the Han army went to the Northern Expedition, how could he have a month to waste here in Xuzhou?

"Your Majesty, don't disturb me. The Han army has just conquered Wu and will not have the energy to make another northern expedition. Besides, Liu Bei is seriously ill, and the Han prince Liu Gongsi has just arrived in Jiangling. There is no need to worry."

Even if they want to launch the Northern Expedition, they have to wait until Liu Chan arrives in Hanzhong before they can do the Northern Expedition. They still have time!

"That kid Liu Chan is very insidious and cunning. He is both false and true, true and false. He is hard to guard against and should not be underestimated."

According to common sense, the Han Dynasty launched a war and was no longer capable of starting another war.

There are exceptions to everything.

When the Han Dynasty conquered Wu, it did not use the power of the whole country.

In addition, a lot of money, grain and silk were plundered from the state of Wu. There was no loss of food and grass in this attack on Wu. On the contrary, they still made a profit.

This created the conditions for his Northern Expedition to Guanzhong!

"I don't have time to stay here anymore. Let's fight quickly. I only give you ten days!"

Ten days?

How can we capture Xuzhou in ten days?

The faces of the generals present became solemn.

It would be difficult to capture Pengcheng in one month, let alone ten days.

"Your Majesty, ten days is too hasty."

Even Sima Yi stepped forward and said at this moment.

"If we leave here this time, Zang Ba of Xuzhou will definitely resurface. If this scourge is not cured, I will feel uneasy!"

If you want to go to Guanzhong, you will inevitably bring most of the troops there.

The strength on Xuzhou's side is somewhat weak.

There are still tens of thousands of Xuzhou elites in Zang Ba City, and they have lost the control of Wei's main army. In addition, Xuzhou's generals have basically been defeated by him. Isn't this Xuzhou something he has in his pocket?

Zang Ba must be eliminated!

"Perhaps, we can leave the general here and 50,000 soldiers to continue the crusade against Zang Ba. The rest can go to support Guanzhong."

Chen Qun made a pertinent suggestion.

It also seems feasible.

Cao Pi's thoughts turned around in his mind, and he suddenly had a clear understanding in his heart.

In fact, he could not bring all the soldiers to Guanzhong. After all, Guanzhong could not afford to feed and drink so many soldiers.

The logistics can't stand it.

But leaving only 50,000 does not seem safe.

After all, according to the school affairs office, Nanyang and Runan are not mobilized now.

If his main army left and the Han armies in Nanyang and Runan mobilized, the 50,000 men who remained would seem to be a bit insufficient.

Perhaps it was okay to defend the territory, but he was definitely unable to deal with Zang Ba.

Therefore, the top priority is to eradicate Zang Ba within a short period of time.

In this way, Wei can enjoy long-term peace and stability.

"Capture Pengcheng within ten days. If we fail, we will follow Aiqing's plan!"

Guanzhong Guanzhong.

Is it true that as Jia Xu said, the expedition to Wu was a fictitious one, while the Northern Expedition was a real one?

But our Wei State has an army of 100,000 in Guanzhong, and we also have Cao Zhen, the general who suppresses the west, and Zhong Yao, the Taiwei Lieutenant, in Guanzhong. Even if your Han State launches a nationwide Northern Expedition, I am afraid that it will not be able to capture Guanzhong in a short time.

perhaps

He was overreacting.

It seems that it is not impossible to stay in Xuzhou for a month and completely eradicate Zang Ba before going to Guanzhong?

Just when Cao Pi was thinking a lot, the voice of the messenger came from the door.

"Good news, good news!"

The messenger with three flags on his back immediately ran into the tent and knelt down in the tent.

"Your Majesty, we have good news from Xia Pi. The general captured Pengcheng. This is the head of Zang Ai, the son of Zang Ba!"

At this time, everyone discovered that there was a bulging bag tied around the waist of the ordering soldier. There was blood dripping on the bag. At this moment, the ordering soldier opened it, and a smell of blood rushed into his nose. What he saw was a young man who refused to rest in peace. Human head.

Zang Ai had been a hostage in Xudu, and Cao Pi had met him several times, so he naturally knew him.

This head is undoubtedly Zang Ai's.

It is a pity that this talent cannot be used by our country Wei.

Cao Pi sighed with emotion at first, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

Xiapi was broken, which is finally good news.

"How did the general conquer Xiapi?"

Xiapi is also a fortified city. Perhaps the experience of capturing Xiapi can be used to capture Pengcheng.

"The general attacked Xiapi forcefully for a month, and the people of Xiapi were in turmoil. Later, with the help of internal cooperation and internal coordination, Xiapi was captured."

It seems that this Zang Ai still can't suppress the powerful people in Xiapi.

Cao Ren captured Xiapi, which was a matter of course.

But it is not so easy to apply Xiapi's experience to Pengcheng.

"Send this head to Pengcheng and hand it over to Zang Ba. I will give him a choice. Surrender, he can be granted the title of county king, or he can be granted the title of king for three generations. Although he has no real power, he will have wealth. If the generals in the city are willing to surrender, they can Become a marquis and retain wealth. If you are good at fighting, you might not be able to be put to great use in the Wei Dynasty."

Take this opportunity to give away someone's head to see if you can stir up the people in Pengcheng.

Being granted the title of king cannot be done at will.

But now that Zang Ba has already shown the value of united front, he makes an exception.

As for the other marquises, they were all marquises without a city, but only with some salary. Wei could still afford to support a few more people.

If we can win Xuzhou with this, that would naturally be the best.

At worst, it can destabilize Xuzhou's military morale and give him an opportunity to take advantage of it.

It was actually the movements in the Han Kingdom these days that made Cao Pi feel deeply uneasy.

Nine out of ten times something is wrong!

A large number of military advisors entered Hanzhong from the three eastern counties. This must be the Northern Expedition.

There is not much time left for him! (End of chapter)
