Three Kingdoms: I rely on system loopholes to survive

Chapter 117
"Siege!"

In the camp outside the city, the yellow flag flying high was carried by several yellow scarves, and with a few shouts, the heads of the people surrounding the city rushed towards the city gate like a flood.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The Yellow Turbans are attacking the city again!"

Kong Rong sat in the county office, and when he heard the news, there was no urgency on his face, and he could read two pages of "The Book of Songs" leisurely.

He rolled up the sleeves of his robe and said calmly, "I know, let's step back and then defend the city."

The soldiers who sent the letter were a little at a loss, and he wanted to retreat, but Kong Rong didn't even give a specific order. These soldiers didn't know how to act, and they had been guarding like this for several months in a row.

Not to mention anything else, the food in this city is almost exhausted...

The soldiers had no choice but to cast their eyes on Sun Shao who was asking for help.

"Your Majesty, the Yellow Turbans have been besieging the city for a long time, and they have only started to attack violently in the past few days. Shao guessed that if it wasn't for the news from the rest of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, it would be because the Yellow Turbans knew the weakness of the city and had no strength to defend it."

Sun Shao sighed slightly, stood up and saluted Kong Rong.

It's not that he doesn't know the character of his own mansion. The reason why the city has been defended until now is because the Yellow Turbans just besieged and did not attack before, and the second is because Kong Rong didn't intervene in the military affairs.

If the Fujun really cared about commanding the soldiers, we would have died in the chaos long ago...

But now that the city is running out of ammunition and food, how can the soldiers have the morale to guard the city if the government is so ignorant, and I don't know if Tai Shi Ziyi can ask for reinforcements?
Sun Shao was extremely anxious. He never considered the situation that the envoy sent by Kong Rong to Xudu could borrow soldiers.

In his opinion, when Cao Cao is welcoming the emperor, Xu Du is in chaos, so where can he find time?

Therefore, he only pinned his hopes on Tai Shici.

"Changxu, you don't need to wander around. Although the bandits are powerful, our capital city is strong. It is so difficult to destroy it."

Kong Rong is very optimistic.

"Wu Tuo Ziyi asked Beihai Liu Xuande to help him, and he will be able to reach the city in a few days, and attack before and after. The yellow scarf is like a turtle in a urn, and there is nothing to fear."

Sun Shao licked his lips.

That is, is there a possibility.

We all have Changcheng and Liu Xuande's soldiers and horses together, only a few thousand people?
The Yellow Turban on the opposite side claims to be one hundred thousand!

Even if it is not enough, there are tens of thousands.

Flanking... Is it us who flank the Yellow Turbans, or is it that the Yellow Turbans surround us?
You don't have a point in your mind, do you?

Sun Shao slandered Kong Rong's innocence, but smiled on his face: "My lord, the food and grass in the city are almost exhausted...I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on until the reinforcements arrive. Let me wait, do you plan ahead?"

Kong Rong's face turned cold: "Unexpectedly, I misunderstood Zi Shao as a man. If you want to surrender, you will surrender. I will never surrender! I am ashamed to be with you!"

Sun Shao took a deep breath.

He slowly made a question mark.

drop?
I am a ghost.

You **** (beep—beep—) read scriptures and recite poems in the county government every day, whether it’s defending the city, distributing food and supplies, or appeasing the hearts of the people, which one is I not doing?

Now I tell you to "find another way" means to surrender?If you want to drop, I'll drop early, okay?
Sun Shao bowed to the end, and finally interrupted Kong Rong who began to recite scriptures such as "Give up your life for righteousness" and "Kong said to be benevolent".

"...Fujun, what Shao means is that there is no hope of holding on, it is better to take the initiative to go out of the city and face the Yellow Turban, which can also boost morale..."

"Eh."

Kong Rong waved his hands again and again, "I don't know how to fight! I have the advantage of a strong city, but I can still protect myself. Without the solidity of the city, I am dead."

"Why do you say that, Lord Fu!" Sun Shao was also a little angry in his heart, seeing that the other party was still so stubborn at the moment of life and death, if he hadn't remembered that this was his immediate boss.

He wanted to put the sword directly on the opponent's neck, forcing Kong Rong to order him out of the city.

But in the end, the Prime Minister of Beihai was Kong Rong. Sun Shaoqiang suppressed his anger and retorted: "Master, do you remember the battle of Young Master Chong's guarding Chang'an?"

"The Shaofu has no more than a thousand people. How is the city of Chang'an compared to the capital? The Shaofu abandoned the city and led a thousand horsemen. Zhang Fan and the two thieves were caught off guard. The soldiers and horses clashed with each other. In the end, tens of thousands died. The two thieves Defeated at the gate of the city, one death and one surrender... The name of the Shaofu is rumored all over the world, and this is the beginning of the battle."

"Soldiers are deceitful, but the Shaofu went the other way. Zhang Ji also praised him as a ghost for his ability to make decisions."

"Your Majesty, I will die if I am trapped in the city, and I will die if I go out of the city to fight. Waiting to die, what is the name of death?"

Kong Rong was speechless.

"Is this really the case in the city?"

After a long while, he put down the bamboo slip in his hand and sighed softly.

"Forget it, let Chang Xu decide."

Seeing that Kong Rong agreed so easily, Sun Shao was a little puzzled, but he quickly realized that it was the example he gave that poked Kong Rong's lungs.

As one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", Kong Rong was a famous poet in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and a scholar obsessed with classics.

Whenever Sun Shao gave individual examples, Kong Rong probably wouldn't deserve it so happily. Most likely he would shake his head, quote a few words from the scriptures, and then pick and criticize, which would waste a lot of time.

But what he said was flat.

Zhong Ping was a teacher of Cai Yong, known as the "Heir of Zheng Xue". He didn't write many poems, but his poems were simple and fresh, and he was good at arts and sciences, so he was very fond of Kong Rong.

In addition, since his debut, he has not had the slightest stigma on him, and he has been alone in danger several times just to rescue the emperor. His loyalty and perseverance are the most admired by the world.

When Kong Rong heard Zhong Ping's name, he didn't feel any resistance in his heart. What's more, what Sun Shao cited was an example. Zhong Ping really took the initiative to go out of the city to win, so he didn't shirk his excuses.

Sun Shao figured it out, and was grateful to the Shaofu whom he had never met.

"How about the Yellow Turban Offensive?"

As he hurried towards the city gate, he asked the soldiers who delivered the news about the situation of the yellow scarf outside the city gate.

"The yellow turbans are pressed at the gate of the city..."

The soldiers dared not say more.

Sun Shao knew that the situation was definitely not optimistic, but the moment he actually went up to the city wall and saw the dense crowd of human heads underneath, his eyes still went dark and he almost fell down.

At this time, he really admired Zhong Ping, not everyone has the courage to go out of the city to attack such an offensive.

"The corpse at the top of the city is still there?"

Sun Shao settled down, supported the battlement, and barely maintained his figure, but he hesitated at this moment.

Facing Kong Rong just now, he was still able to speak loudly, talk eloquently, and talk about the disadvantages of perseverance, but when he is now at the top of the city, looking down at the endless stream of yellow scarf thieves, he only feels hopeless.

Back then, how did the Zhong Shaofu defend such a large city of Chang'an, and even go up against the wind and defeat the enemy.

"The thief's body is still hanging on the wall, and it was still effective at first. It did scare away some yellow scarves, but it has not worked for a few days."

Wang Xiu's face was covered with blood ashes, his lips were chapped, and he looked rather haggard.

Sun Shao was silent for a moment, "Uncle Zhi, Shao wants to open the city gate and fight the Yellow Turban, what does Uncle Zhi think?"

Wang Xiu's lips were so chapped that it was difficult to make any big expressions, but he managed to show a smile.

"However, what's the difference between dying early and dying late? If you don't go out to fight in the city, you can still win a chance."

"Then, Shao ordered..."
