Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 279 Rush Hour
Just when Liu Yu arrived near Shangcai, the wars in Huainan had reached the most tormented and intense time.

Let's talk about Lujiang County first, Zhou Yu is such a great god, even if he doesn't have any generals in his hands, Chen Dao will not make it easy.What's more, he still has Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin in his hands, especially Zhou Tai.

Of course, he waited for Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to heal up from their injuries before aggressively attacking Shucheng.However, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's time to recuperate was also the time for him to investigate Shu Cheng and perfect his plan.Therefore, this delayed time was not wasted.

But this time is also very precious to Chen Dao.First of all, Chen Dao can adjust the soldiers, arrange Taishici, and strive to play the role of Taishici.Chen Dao was somewhat convinced of the characters that Liu Yu personally praised.What's more, he has seen Tai Shici's ability before.In addition, he also used this time to repair the city wall of Shucheng.Moreover, he is also actively preparing for the battle and preparing the defense equipment.

Oh, by the way, there is another point, which is to appease the people and nobles in Shucheng.The so-called strong castles are all breached from the inside, so this is extremely important.But to be honest, this point is not ideal.But this can't be blamed on Chen Dao, after all, Zhou Yu is from Lujiang, and he has a good reputation.

In any case, the time for both sides to prepare for the war is short, and what was said before has already happened.Now, the two sides have played against each other several times.

Chen Dao obeyed Xu Shu's order, only defending but not attacking, and paid more attention to the movements of the nobles in the city.Therefore, although Zhou Yu attacked him several times, they were all safe and sound, and there was no big loss.It is strange to say that under such circumstances, Zhou Yu is still attacking in an orderly manner.

All in all, the situation in Lujiang County is not bad, at least much better than that of Wei Yan.

Ever since Wenpin made a comeback and brought Huang Zhong with him, Wei Yan was forced to hide in the city and never dared to go out to fight again.He refused to accept it at first, feeling that Liu Yu had exaggerated Huang Zhong's strength.In his opinion, Huang Zhong is just an old man, what is there to be afraid of?Therefore, he immediately disobeyed Liu Yu's orders and led his army out of the city to fight against Wenpin.Then, he was seriously injured by Huang Zhong.

After this battle, he behaved much better, and never dared to leave the city indiscriminately, but stayed in the city, only defending but not attacking.But even so, his life was not easy.This time Wenpin came here with anger, how could he return without success, even if it was a tragic offensive and defensive battle, he did not hesitate to carry it out.Fortunately, Huang Zhong had a disagreement with him. He felt that he should not attack the city in a hurry. This is why there was a conflict. He did not participate in the attack, otherwise Wei Yan would have suffered even more.

Huang Zhong is a veteran, even if he doesn't rely on his old man to sell his old man, he still has some complaints as Wenpin's deputy.And Wenpin's arbitrariness made Huang Zhong even more angry. Although it would not be possible to withdraw his troops, it was still possible to do nothing.It is precisely because of this that Wei Yanshou's city has never been breached, otherwise...

If Wei Yan's situation is bad, then Xu Shu's situation is not optimistic.

After several trials by Ji Ling, it was finally determined that Yangquan was short of troops, not because he didn't want to attack Shouchun, but because he didn't have the strength.As a result, he naturally attacked the city even more frantically, wanting to take the opportunity to extinguish Liu Yujun's momentum, so as not to let Liu Yujun recover.

Of course, there was another reason, and that was Yuan Shu's urging.Ever since he was slandered, Yuan Shu didn't trust Ji Ling very much.This distrust is usually fine, but when it comes to critical moments, especially in the current situation, it becomes very important.For example, Ji Ling wanted to be more stable and slowly wipe out Liu Yujun in Yangquan, but Yuan Shu asked him to kill Liu Yujun quickly.

Yuan Shu asked the envoy to tell Ji Ling, in a cryptic way, whether you intend to join Liu Yu. I heard that you had a good chat at the beginning, and Liu Yu even recruited you.

In this way, Ji Ling had no choice but to change his face slightly, and promised to quickly wipe out the Yangquan enemy army.However, although he agreed, Ji Ling did not attack the city in a panic, but after some preparations, he attacked the city in an orderly manner.

In this regard, Xu Shu had been prepared for a long time, and also defended in an orderly manner.In this way, they fought for several days in a row, neither winning nor losing, and each had losses.If it goes on like this, then Yangquan will definitely not be able to hold on.But Xu Shu is not an ordinary person, he is not just defending the city step by step.

No, in the middle of the war, he started to make moves. It was false, sending troops to harass Ji Lingjun overnight;In this way, Ji Lingjun was so exhausted that he was in no mood to attack the city during the day.

Not only that, Xu Shu often sent troops to rob Ji Ling's food and grass.He even deliberately asked the big clans in the city to unite with Ji Ling, saying that they wanted to open the city and surrender, and then Xu Shu attacked Ji Ling in it.

It has to be said that Xu Shu made too many moves, most of which Ji Ling couldn't dodge, resulting in many soldiers being killed and injured.But even so, relying on the advantage of numbers, he still forced Xu Shu to gradually stretch out, and it became more and more difficult to defend the city.

Xu Shu naturally knew this, but he had no intention of worrying about whether he could keep Yangquan, because he was most worried about Liu Yu.Every time the offensive and defensive battle is over, he can't help but look northward, as if he can really see Liu Yu.

"Young master, hurry up, time is running out!"

Liu Yu, who was missed by Xu Shu, was outside Shangcai City at this time, worrying about the surprise attack on Cao Ren.It's not that he can't invest, but that he has too few people under his command. I'm afraid that even if the sneak attack is successful, it won't have much effect.In this case, his sneak attack is equivalent to no sneak attack.No, no, his sneak attack was a waste of an opportunity.

And the chance is very likely to be the only chance!
"Oh, it's hard to do, unless you go straight to Huanglong and kill Cao Ren, otherwise, otherwise..."

Liu Yu has already got in touch with Xia Houlan, knowing that the situation in Shangcai is very bad, and it is just a matter of breaking the city overnight.It was precisely because of this that Liu Yu was so worried that he was ready to break the boat and lead eight hundred personal guards to attack Cao Ren in the Chinese army.

But this move is too risky, if it fails, he and the eight hundred guards will definitely die.Yes, there is no doubt about death, there is absolutely no way out.But he has no other choice, except this one road, there is no other choice.

In this way, Liu Yu began to prepare, saying that it was preparation, but in fact it was to mobilize and arrange the weapons and horses a little bit.This kind of thing will be done soon, and it will be dark soon, which means that Liu Yu and the others will leave soon.

Live, or die, in the next night!

But just as he was about to set off, a scout from Shangcai suddenly ran over. The scout came panting and stopped Liu Yu who was about to set off.
