Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 282

On the upper floor of the county seat, Zhu Zhi was standing upright, his eyes fell on Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Xi Zhicai and others who were not far outside the city in front of him.

The defenders on the city wall have arrows, and their bows are fully drawn. As long as Zhang Liao and others come into range, they will release arrows.

Zhang Liao patted his horse a few steps forward, approaching the range of the defenders' bows and arrows, looked up at Zhu Zhi on the tower, and shouted loudly:
"Is the one on the gate tower General Zhu Zhi?"

Zhu Zhi was startled when he heard the words. It seems that the enemy army knows a lot about his side, and the visitor is not kind. He responded:
"It's Zhu, who are you? Why did you attack Guiyang County and Lingling County for no reason and cause war for no reason? It's the common people who are deprived of life. It's evil. I hope you leave as soon as possible, or wait for my lord Sun Jian With the arrival of the army, you will have no chance of life!"

Heh, Zhang Liao didn't expect Zhu Zhi to be quite good at talking.

"General Zhu Zhi, Zhang is not talented, he is the chief general in the army." Zhang Liao did not change his face, and said solemnly: "The people of Guiyang County and Lingling County have already suffered from the wars caused by the sect thieves and bandits. Then came a typhoid fever.

The prefects of the two counties sympathized with the common people and endured their suffering, but because of their inability to do so, the prefects of the two counties begged the general to send troops to suppress the rebels, and sent genius doctors to treat the typhoid patients.

Today, the rebels from all sides in the two counties have been killed, and the typhoid fever has been brought under control.The people and the prefects of the two counties are all grateful to the general and hope to be ruled by the general.

The general was kind and couldn't bear the suffering of the people, so he had to take over the two counties of Guiyang and Lingling.In other words, now Guiyang County and Lingling County are under the rule of our general, so I also ask General Zhu Zhi to withdraw to Changsha County and tell Wucheng Marquis Sun Jian not to try to get involved in Guiyang County and Lingling County, otherwise there will be consequences. conceited. "

Gao Shun on the side was stunned when he heard it, Xi Zhicai also looked at Zhang Liao with admiration, he never expected that Zhang Liao would talk nonsense so shamelessly.

Xi Zhicai praised: "General Zhang is a great talent, every sentence is reasonable."

Zhang Liao nodded awkwardly at Xi Zhicai, then looked at Zhu Zhi on the tower again, and asked, "General Zhu Zhi, have you considered withdrawing from Guiyang County?"

Zhu Zhi didn't expect Zhang Liao to talk so nonsense, and said angrily: "Huang Miao, the emperor has threatened to confer the title of my lord as the shepherd of Jingzhou, and all the places in Jingzhou are under the jurisdiction of the lord.

You have entered Guiyang County and Lingling County privately in an attempt to steal the two counties. This is rebellion. Just like those sect thieves, the subjects of the Han Dynasty, everyone will be punished! "

There must always be a reason for war, and whoever has a good reason will occupy the greater morality.

Zhang Liao used the pretext of the people and prefects of Guiyang and Lingling counties to invite them to become the master. Zhu Zhi used the edict of the emperor to canonize Sun Jian as Jingzhou shepherd as a reason, and regarded Zhang Liao and the others as rebellious traitors.

Without waiting for Zhang Liao to go back, Xi Zhicai responded: "General Zhu Zhi, I heard that it was Dong Thief's old department who issued an edict on behalf of the emperor to confer Sun Jian as the shepherd of Jingzhou. Working hand in hand with Dong Thief's former army, isn't he afraid of the joint crusade by the princes of the world? It's really amazing, I admire you!"

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's eyelids twitched unconsciously when they heard the words "Dong Bandit's old department".

Zhu Zhi was speechless, and said angrily: "You wait for the thief, if you want to attack the city, this general will accompany you to the end. But if you want this general to withdraw from Guiyang County, it is absolutely impossible!"

After all, he was the one who read the most among Sun Jian's five generals, but he was rendered speechless by Zhang Liao and Xi Zhicai, can you not be angry?
"Okay!" Zhang Liao raised his voice and shouted, "General Zhu Zhi is so courageous and a hero. If that's the case, you and my general will have a decisive battle outside the city. How about it? Do you dare?"

Xi Zhicai chimed in and said, "General, in a decisive battle outside the city, where the same force is engaged in a life-and-death battle, General Zhu Zhi will not be a coward, but will just hide in the city and dare not fight?"

The reason why Zhang Liao and Xi Zhicai talked so much with Zhu Zhifei was because they wanted to lure him out of the city, this is the best policy!
"General, fight them to the death!"

"That's right, we will not lose to them if we fight with equal forces!"

"General, go out of the city to destroy the thieves!"

On the tower, several generals beside Zhu Zhi were filled with righteous indignation.

"Shut up for me!"

Zhu Zhi was clear-headed and scolded: "Idiot, this is the enemy's aggressive method. The enemy's army has about [-] horses, while our army's defenders are less than [-], and there are only a few thousand elite soldiers. There is a huge gap between the enemy and ourselves.

Besides, the origin of the enemy army is unknown, how can you believe that they will really fight with equal forces?
When you go out, you will all be wiped out, so use your brains to think about it! "

The complexions of several generals changed, and they bowed their heads one after another, saying: "The general is wise."

"Okay, defend the city well, as long as the enemy doesn't attack the city, you can't pay any more attention." Zhu Zhi also ignored Zhang Liao and the others, and then went to patrol.

Below Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and Xi Zhicai looked at each other.

"This Zhu Zhi, isn't it easy?" Gao Shun sighed, "I'm afraid it will be very difficult to trick him out of the city. How should we deal with it?"

"Well, it's a talent." Zhang Liao looked at Xi Zhicai, and said, "Prepare to implement the middle strategy plan, and the besieged city will cut off food and water."

At this moment, a member of the Shenbing Battalion came to report: "Report to General Zhang, the enemy's messenger from the city was intercepted. This is the letter we found."

Xi Zhicai took the letter and looked at it, then handed it to Zhang Liao, and said at the same time: "Zhu Zhi really reported the letter to Leiyang City for help."

"En." Zhang Liao read the letter, handed it to Gao Shun, and said, "According to the plan in advance, when the sky darkened, General Gao and the opera staff would lead five thousand elite soldiers to ambush, waiting for reinforcements from Leiyang City. "

If Leiyang City sends reinforcements, set up an ambush to wipe them out.

If there are no reinforcements, then the county will be besieged until the enemy surrenders or breaks through desperately.

Jiaozhou had a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes, and the army had no shortage of food. In addition, Duanmuze bred porcupines in various counties, which could continuously provide the army with meat. Therefore, Zhang Liao was the least afraid of fighting consumption.

However, the food in the county town was mainly provided by the prefect of Guiyang County. After the outbreak of typhoid fever, it was supplied by Leiyang City. The food in the city may not last long.

Coupled with the blockade outside the city, drinking water will gradually become a problem.

In a blink of an eye, three or four days passed.

Several waves of messengers have been sent out one after another, but there is still no news from Leiyang City.Zhu Zhi knew that the enemy must have blocked the connection with Leiyang City.

"There are still five days until Leiyang City transports food to Bian County, and it will be looted by the enemy if there is no accident. But this is also an opportunity, so Leiyang City can know that something has happened to Bian County, but... "

Zhu Zhi was a little restless, afraid that Sun Ce would come to rescue and be ambushed by Zhang Liao.

Now that Zhang Liao is besieging the county, it is very difficult to suddenly.

"For the present plan, we can only arrange more messengers for the time being to report to Leiyang City." Zhu Zhi was very helpless: "The food in the city can last for half a month at most, and the worst result is to risk his life to break through."
