Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Stay calm in times of crisis and adapt to circumstances.

As a veteran general of Cao Wei, Cao Ren's ability to lead troops in battle is also rare in the world.

Seeing that he could not save Nanxiang City, Xu Huang decisively chose to give up and instead went to encircle and suppress the Xinye partial army Guan Xing.

In terms of decisiveness, courage, and wisdom, he is worthy of the name of General Cao Wei.

Two hours after Cao Ren left Shunyang, Zhuge Qiao also led his troops to Shunyang City.

After learning of Cao Ren's departure and the message left by Guan Yu, Zhuge Qiao united the Han troops in Shunyang City and crossed the river to Nanxiang City.

Seeing Zhuge Qiao's arrival in person, Su Fei, Liu Feng and others felt ashamed.

When the troops were dispatched, they vowed to capture Nanxiang City in three days, but now after five days of fighting, Nanxiang City is still firmly in Xu Huang's hands.

Handsome tent.

Su Fei, Liu Feng, Liao Hua, Xizhen, Deng Zhi, Wang Fu and other generals all knelt down to apologize: "General, we are ashamed."

Zhuge Qiao did not punish the generals, but directly expressed his guess about Cao Ren's response: "Cao Ren's reinforcements arrived at Shunyang, but they did not choose to attack Shunyang."

"I guess Cao Ren gave up supporting Nanxiang City and went to fight against the Xinye troops instead."

All the generals were shocked.

Deng Zhi even blurted out: "Cao Ren is trying to compete with my army!"

"Cao Ren has 80,000 people in Nanyang County. Even if Nanxiang County is lost, he will not be hurt."

"As long as the main force is still there, Cao Ren can take back Nanxiang County again."

"Looking at our army, even if we lose five thousand men, we will be severely injured, let alone the more than ten thousand soldiers and horses in Xinye."

Liu Feng was angry: "If Xu Huang hadn't resisted in Nanxiang, how could Cao Ren be able to get what he wanted."

As Guan Yu's deputy general, Su Fei had experienced many battles and quickly calmed down: "Do you know where the general is?"

Zhuge Qiao secretly praised him.

Although Su Fei was not famous, he had rich combat experience accumulated over many years, and he quickly realized the key.

Zhuge Qiao didn't hide it either: "The general has left for Xinye one day in advance. There is no need to worry about the Han soldiers in Xinye in the short term."

"The top priority is to capture Nanxiang City as soon as possible and then support the general."

Liao Hua sighed: "Xu Huang is too stubborn. We attacked day and night, but we couldn't take advantage."

"The morale in the army is not as high as it was at the beginning."

A five-day attack consumes a lot of energy of the sergeants; coupled with the extremely difficult military merits to obtain, the sergeants' desire to fight to the death will weaken.

"It doesn't matter, I will help you attack the city." Zhuge Qiao had sharp eyes and raised his hands like a mountain standing in front of the generals.

All the generals were relieved.

Zhuge Qiao did not wait for the generals to ask questions, and immediately ordered: "Ma Zhong, Jufu, you two gather the trebuchets of the generals together."

"This time we won't throw stones, only grains and rice. Wrap more dead branches and weeds around the grain bags so that they won't be scattered."

The generals were stunned.

Projectile grain?

What purpose could this serve?
"General?"

When the generals were about to ask, Zhuge Qiao waved his hand to interrupt: "Don't waste time, do it quickly! After ten rounds of ejection, wait where you are."

Although the generals were puzzled, they did not ask any more questions.

Judging from Zhuge Qiao's expression at this moment, it was obvious that he was not prepared to explain much.

Ma Zhong and Jufu received military orders and gathered together more than ten catapults.

After calculating the distance, more than ten catapults threw bags of grain and rice entangled with dead branches and weeds towards the city head.

The Wei soldiers at the top of the city thought that another stone was coming, so they took cover one after another.

however.

When the Wei soldiers discovered that what was thrown was not stones, but bags of grain and rice, they were all surprised.

After learning the news, Xu Huang quickly ordered people to gather these grain and rice bags together and not allow the soldiers to hide them privately.

It was just some grain and rice, but not many Wei soldiers would care.

"Have you checked everything? Are they all grains and rice?" Xu Huang asked the deputy general with a solemn expression. The lieutenant general's face was full of disbelief: "I checked everything. They are all grains."

"I also crushed it and gave it to dolphins and dogs, and I didn't see anything unusual."

Xu Huang frowned: "If something goes wrong, there must be something strange. Send an order to the sergeants at the top of the city not to whisper to each other."

Looking at the catapult outside the city, Xu Huang squinted his eyes and suddenly felt his eyelids twitching, with an ominous premonition.

outside the city.

Several soldiers arrived pushing several carts filled with bags.

"Is it grain rice again?"

Ma Zhong and Jufu looked at each other, neither understanding.

But as soon as Jufu touched the small cloth bag, his expression changed: "It's not grains, it's coins."

Ma Zhong also took off a small cloth bag and opened it. There were pearls, jade, gold and silver inside.

"Does the general want us to throw all these coins, gold, silver, pearls and jade at the top of the city?" Ma Zhong's expression became strange.

The surrounding soldiers were also stunned.

Sending money and food to the enemy?

What military order is this?
The sergeant who delivered the order said: "The general has an order to wrap these bags with dead branches and weeds and throw them all at the top of the city."

"Those who disobey orders will be beheaded! Those who neglect orders will be beheaded!"

There were so many military orders that Ma Zhong and Jufu did not dare to ask any more questions. They quickly ordered that the bags containing gold, silver, pearls and jade be wrapped in dead branches and weeds, and thrown towards the tower by catapults.

The Wei soldiers at the top of the city did not dare to be careless and quickly lowered their heads to avoid.

But when they saw the broken coins, gold and silver, these Wei soldiers were all jealous, and they all rushed to grab the coins, regardless of the danger.

Xu Huang's expression changed drastically.

Grains and rice can be ordered not to be kept privately, but the same cannot be said for coins, gold and silver.

Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.

They are all licking blood, and what they earn is money.

Just when Xu Huang was surprised, a general suddenly rode up to the city. It was Zhang Yi.

"Sergeants in the city, listen."

"The general knows that you are working hard for the false emperor Cao Pi, but you are forced by the situation and are not true enemies."

"Since ancient times, one general has accomplished the feat of destroying thousands of people."

"Nanxiang City has been defended. It is Xu Huang who gets the title, not you."

"All you ask for is food, clothing, and money to return to your hometown to live."

"Therefore, the general threw grains and rice first and gold and silver secondly to show his sincerity."

Halfway through the words, Xu Huang realized the problem.

He quickly ordered the drummers to beat the drums and the archers to shoot arrows, but Zhang Ni was not allowed to shout any more.

The drums started beating, covering up Zhang Ni's voice.

But Zhang Yi took a few steps back and waved back, with hundreds of flying troops arrayed behind him.

Zhang Yi shouted, and the flying army shouted in unison.

"The general said that if you are willing to surrender, he will throw cloth so that you can sew clothes to show your sincerity."

"But if you don't surrender, then you can only throw stones to show our determination to break the city."

"Whether we surrender or not depends on you and others, not on Xu Huang."

"Don't think about reinforcements. Cao Ren has returned to Wancheng. He won't come to save you."

Hundreds of people shouted in unison, directly covering the sound of the drums on the tower.

This wave of coercion and inducement made many Wei soldiers at the city head who had fought hard for five days have other thoughts.

"What a ruthless trick, this is definitely not Guan Yu's military order!" Xu Huang punched the city wall with his fist, and his veins popped out. (End of chapter)
