Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 107 20 reinforcements

Liu Bei was overjoyed, but surprised!

"20 reinforcements? There is no transfer order from the Military Advisor's Office, and there is no official document from the Prefect's Office to move the troops. When did the Military Advisor arrange it!"

Zhuge Ming laughed loudly.

"I have made arrangements for the Xiangyang Conference fifteen days ago! I think the soldiers and horses carried by Yun Chang should have arrived at Fancheng by now!"

"It's not too late to have a good meal. Meng Huo has caught up with the good times. He finally has the opportunity to test his vine armor soldiers, elephant camp and beast control camp in actual combat!"

At this time, Huang Zhong came in from outside and met with Liu Bei and Zhuge Ming.

"Report to the military advisor that a message has been sent from Jiangxia. Yun Chang ordered Liao Huaguan to guard Jiangxia and guard against Soochow. He and Zhou Cang led [-] naval troops and sailed [-] ships to search. They set out from Chibi three days ago. It is expected that Arrive in Fancheng today!"

Huang Zhong took out Yunchang's letter from his arms and handed it to Zhuge Ming.

Zhuge Ming did not read it, but handed it directly to Liu Bei.

"It turns out that my lord had already arranged everything half a month ago! If I had known this, I wouldn't have been so angry!"

Liu Bei opened the letter, which described in detail how to open the bag of tips. Now he acted according to the plan and rushed to help Fancheng. Only then did he suddenly realize and understand everything.

Zhuge Liang let out a long sigh and said with emotion: "Planning strategies can lead to a decisive victory thousands of miles away. The military deeds carried out by the living room in the past are still passed down to this day. But I, brother Zhuge, can plan like a god. Half a month ago, I had predicted what would happen today. The timing, the heat, Everything is just right! Compared with Zhang Liang in the past, I don’t know how many times better!”

Ma Liang, Liu Bei and others all admired and trusted Zhuge Ming more and more.

But Zhuge Ming didn't care at all. He picked up the brush on the table and started writing again.

……

Fancheng.

Cao Cao's seven soldiers and horses retreated, leaving only corpses scattered outside the city, piled up like mountains.

Seven groups of soldiers and horses came with all their strength, with the intention of dying. Cao Cao had already given strict orders that as long as Fancheng could be taken, all the sacrificed soldiers would be buried with the courtesy of a captain.

However, twelve waves of attacks failed, and all seven soldiers and horses were exhausted. They were afraid that the soldiers and horses in the city would take the opportunity to attack and cause more casualties, so they did not dare to collect the corpses, leaving the dead and wounded behind, and evacuated in embarrassment.

Under the three gates of Fancheng's east, west, and north gates, it's terrible to see!

Two battles ago, the soldiers who were wounded by arrows were not in danger of their lives. However, once they fell off their horses, they were smashed into a pulp by the cavalry behind them and the rolling logs and rocks thrown from the city wall!
At this moment, the remnant soldiers were defeated, leaving behind a battlefield with messy flags and torn flags. Under the burning flames of war, there was thick smoke and an unpleasant smell.

Corpses were strewn across the ground, and broken limbs were scattered everywhere. Among them, there were many seriously injured soldiers who were still gasping for breath and had not yet expired. But at this moment, they were in deep despair. The only thing waiting for them was destined to be death.

The vultures in the distant mountains of Fancheng had been frightened by the fighting for several days and avoided looking for food. At this time, the fighting was suspended, the men and horses retreated, and the vultures rose and fell under the city, feasting.

Several vultures surrounded a stump and kept pecking at it. Blood gurgled out from the bitten place.

Only the distorted face, the bloody eyes, and the desperate eyes represent the existence of life and the cruelty of war!

But he was no longer able to struggle, and could only let the vultures fight and eat away as they pleased.

click!
A dead tree not far away was burned by the war and fell to the ground.

The vulture was frightened, spread its wings and flew out, landing on a flagpole nearby, looking around vigilantly.

The dead tree fell to the ground, and the burning flames were extinguished by the blood on the ground, emitting thick smoke with blood, which was even more weird.

But the vultures seemed to be intoxicated by the taste of blood. After confirming that there was no danger, the three vultures turned back and surrounded the seriously injured soldier who had not yet expired, starting a new feast.
……

Inside Fancheng.

Zhao Yun led Kuai Yue to inspect the four gates.

Wei Yan, Wenpin, and Li Yan followed each other. Although all the generals had their faces blackened by the flames of war, they were all in high spirits and their momentum remained undiminished.

"The east city gate is the oldest and originally needed repairs, but the enemy came so quickly that it was too late. Therefore, today's danger is my fault and has nothing to do with Zhong Ye. I would like to thank Li Yan for his help."

Zhao Yun looked at the newly built city wall at the east gate, nodded and said with satisfaction.

There were no problems on the other three sides, except for the east gate, which almost missed. Wenpin felt ashamed and was always worried. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun was very enlightened and did not blame or curse at all. Instead, he took the responsibility on himself. He was grateful and secretly If you swear, you will die to repay.

Li Yan smiled heartily: "Zilong. Among the four gates, my south gate is the only one that has no strong enemies to attack. It's a good job to support me for the rest of my life. Could it be that you think I'm a loser, so you made this arrangement? But I can't bear it. Lonely, even if I have to transfer to the east gate, I still have to beat up that thief Cao!"

Zhao Yun nodded, with a solemn look on his face, without any hint of joking: "Even so, the defense of the south gate must be done well, and we must not neglect it. If the south gate is lost, you will be responsible."

Li Yan cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Zilong. If there is a slight flaw in the south gate, I won't need your military staff, Zilong. I will do it myself and come to see you!"

At this moment, a primary school student suddenly ran over in panic, panting heavily and shouting from a distance.

"Oh no!"

"Something bad is happening! Countless soldiers and horses appear outside the south gate!"

"It seems to be coming from the waterway. There are many people and horses, probably no less than one hundred thousand. The flags are strange and the people and horses are mixed!"

Zhao Yun's expression changed, he turned around suddenly, raised his gun and mounted his horse!
Li Yan was also very surprised. When he and Zhao Yun were making guarantees, he didn't expect that something happened at the south gate!
Several generals on horseback rushed to the south gate through smoke and dust.

Sure enough, outside the south gate!

The flags were waving, it was confusing and difficult to distinguish, the shouts of harmony were mixed with many strange noises, it was like entering a busy city.

Zhao Yun became suspicious!

Looking at these soldiers and horses, it seems that they have no fear and defense, and they just approach the city.

The crossbowmen on the city held their breath and concentrated, unfurling their bows and setting arrows, just waiting for a command to fire thousands of arrows!

"Wait a minute!"

"No arrows!"

Zhao Yun waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

"Command the three armies not to fire arrows!"

Li Yan hurriedly mounted his horse, galloped above the city defense, and shouted loudly.

Under the city, a man galloped towards the city gate with his horse drawn and sword drawn.

"Zilong, open the city gate quickly, reinforcements are here!"

This person has a face like a jujube, eyes like bright stars, red and phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows, and carries a Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand!

It is Guan Yu of Jiangxia!

He led ten thousand naval troops and five hundred warships, carrying Meng Huo's troops and horses, and came from Chibi overnight.

Zhao Yun was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened.

Guan Yu went first, leading Meng Huo and Zhu Rong, and brought the cave master to go first.

Behind him, Dong Dana, A Hui Nan, and Jin Huan restrained the three armies and entered the city separately!

All of a sudden, snakes, insects, tigers, leopards, giant elephants and vines swarmed in. The soldiers defending the city were speechless and stunned, thinking that the heavenly soldiers had come to save Fancheng! "This is Meng Huo, King of the Southern Barbarians. He is stationed in Chibi under the orders of the military advisor. Today he is moving to Fancheng. He is here to help Zilong."

After entering the mansion, Guan Yu took Meng Huo's arm and introduced him to Zhao Yun.

"I have heard for a long time that the Southern Barbarian King has extraordinary bravery and unparalleled ingenuity. He is a powerful ruler in the southern border area. When we meet today, he is indeed even more famous. Zilong is lucky to fight side by side with the Southern Barbarian King!"

Zhao Yun was secretly surprised. The Barbarian King Meng Huo was over ten feet tall and had a waist that was ten inches thick. He looked like a wild King Kong. His gnarled muscles showed that he was extremely brave and not an ordinary person.

"Haha, Zilong!"

Meng Huohao was very excited. He stepped forward and reached out to hold Zhao Yun's arm. He was also extremely excited.

"In the past ten days in Chibi, all I have heard is the story of Qian Zilong's bloody battle with Fancheng and his life-and-death struggle with Old Man Cao! With [-] soldiers and horses, they have been stationed here for more than ten days without any help. I was stunned. He doesn’t have a hundred thousand troops, and not even a hair has passed through!”

Zhao Yun smiled humbly, and he could see that Meng Huo was a straightforward and straightforward man.

"It all depends on the officers and soldiers who sacrificed their lives to serve the country. Otherwise, Zilong, who is only seven feet tall, could not resist Cao's army."

Meng Huo waved his hands repeatedly: "You don't have to be modest. One soldier is a raging enemy, and a den of generals is raging. You are a man, and your subordinates are screaming and playing with their lives against the enemy! Just like me, when the tiger comes, I will go up and kill it. Tear them apart. My subordinates, even three-foot-old children, dare to kill wolves with daggers! My murderous intent is in their bones and blood!"

Everyone laughed and felt that although Meng Huo looked rough, he was bold and a bit naive.

"Zilong, how is the situation in Fancheng?"

After finishing the ceremony, Guan Yu raised his eyebrows, looked up at Zhao Yun, and asked in a deep voice.

Zhou Cang, who was behind him, was also extremely concerned, staring at Zhao Yun intently and listening attentively.

"In the past, Zhuge Military Advisor ordered me to stay here for fifteen days. Within fifteen days, I must hold on and not lose the city. Therefore, the food in the city is enough to support another three to five days."

Zhao Yun lowered his head and frowned and said: "But in the past few days, the enemy's fierce attacks have become stronger and stronger. The equipment and arrows used to defend the city are severely exhausted and are already stretched..."

As soon as these words came out, Li Yan, Wei Yan, Wenpin and others bowed their heads and remained silent.They are all aware of these difficulties, but they also know that Zhao Yun is powerless at this moment. It will not help if he raises it. According to Zilong's character, sacrificing himself for others, he may use the equipment of the North Gate garrison he guards. Distribute it to the other three sides, but if so, the north gate will be struggling, and Zilong may be responsible for losing the city!
"Hi!"

"I was careless. Jiangxia has abundant military equipment and can supply Fancheng. I was only anxious to transport the troops and horses of the Southern Barbarian King according to the military advisor's advice. Instead, I ignored your military expenditure!"

Guan Yu slapped his thigh, feeling regretful.

But Meng Huo suddenly laughed and didn't take it seriously.

"Zilong, Yun Chang! You are worrying too much!"

"Now that I'm here, Fancheng will be handed over to me!"

"I have many arrows in my elephant camp. If there is a shortage of arrows in the city and I will face the enemy in the future, why not go to Cao Cao's camp and get some for use?"

Mrs. Zhu Rong also stood up and chuckled: "That's right. Since the military advisor left a plan, let Zilong guard here for fifteen days, and also ordered Yunchang to transport our soldiers and horses here at this time. I must have asked him to It’s time to take over from Zilong and guard Fancheng.”

"Let's also take a look at Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, and see what's so special about them!"

The couple chatted freely without taking Cao Cao seriously.

Although Guan Yu and Zhao Yun had never seen the power of the Nanman soldiers, it was said by everyone that the Nanman soldiers and the Xiliang cavalry were the most powerful soldiers and horses.And since the military advisor arranged it this way, there must be a reason for it. The military advisor has made every plan and has never made a mistake!
"Zi Long!"

Guan Yu suddenly stood up, holding the water bowl and raising it high.

Zhao Yun didn't know why, so he stood up in a hurry. Behind him, Li Yan, Wei Yan and other old Fancheng generals also stood up, holding bowls in their hands.

"I originally wanted to stay here and fight side by side with Zilong to defend against powerful enemies. However, Jiangxia is such an important place that it cannot be without a commander. The military advisor's brochure clearly stated that I should return to Jiangxia immediately after delivering the troops and horses. There should be no delay. stay."

"So I take my leave and hope that Zilong will return victoriously. I'll see you again in Xiangyang someday!"

Guan Yu substituted tea for wine, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp!

Zhao Yun burst into tears and was extremely grateful.If Guan Yu hadn't brought reinforcements, he would have been trapped in Fancheng for three or two days at most and perished.The two have been comrades-in-arms for many years, and their friendship is better than that of real brothers. Although they don't speak much to each other, they understand each other in their hearts.

"The thief Cao launched twelve attacks in a row but failed. I'm afraid the next wave of all-out offensive will arrive soon. Zilong has a heavy responsibility and cannot send his brother far away."

"Brother, take care along the way!"

Zhao Yun led his generals to send Guan Yu to the city gate and said goodbye with tears.

Guan Yu carried a broadsword in his hand, took Zhou Cang with him, mounted his horse and went back to the river. With [-] warships and [-] naval troops, he returned to Jiangxia to defend Jiangdong.

……

Outside Fancheng, in the main tent of Cao Ying.

Civil and military generals gathered here.

"Seven armies, 14 soldiers and horses, attacked twelve times. They didn't conquer an inch of the city or gain any land, but they returned in embarrassment with dead and wounded!"

Cao Cao opened his eyes angrily, the veins on his forehead bulged, and his face was gloomy and livid.

Below, Zhang Liao, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and other generals were all dejected and did not dare to say anything.

"Prime Minister, although Fan City has not been captured, the generals who defended the city are at the end of their strength! After three days of continuous attacks, my seven-way army is still exhausted. What's more, the defenders in the city have neither reinforcements nor rotation?"

"We only need to fight hard tomorrow, and all the generals will work hard to move forward. After completing our efforts in one battle, we will surely capture Fancheng!"

After Xun You analyzed it carefully, he stood up and said.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, tomorrow I will cut off Zhao Yun's head and dedicate it to the Prime Minister!"

Xu Chu stood up excitedly and said loudly.

Tomorrow, he will command [-] fresh troops and join forces with seven armies to conquer Fancheng!
At this moment, Cheng Yu walked in from the outside, holding a letter in his hand with a worried look on his face.

"Prime Minister, the matter has been investigated clearly."

Cao Cao's expression changed and he said solemnly: "Say!"

"According to reports from Xiliang scouts, the news of Ma Teng's death reached Xiliang the day before Ma Teng's death!"

"The news from central Sichuan is that Huang Zhong from Xiangyang once visited Yizhou..."

Whoa!
The civil and military officials were agitated!
Cao Cao stood in front of the desk, and suddenly stars appeared in front of his eyes. He put his hands on the desk, his arms trembling.

The teapot on hand also made a shuddering sound.

The generals were shocked. They did not expect that the prime minister was so angry that he could not control himself in front of his subordinates.

"Zhuge Wende!!"

"It turns out that Xiliang soldiers and horses, and the threats from Yizhou are all a conspiracy set up by Zhuge Wende!!"

"I will……"

Cao Cao suddenly felt his chest churn, his eyes were blurred, and a mouthful of blood only rose and fell in his throat.
