Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 583 The Controversy Between King Wu
On November 27, there was a fire in Hejian, and Tan Ma immediately reported to Chen Dao in Zhongshan.Chen Dao was overjoyed, and reported to Xu Shu in Youzhou. With Han Long as the vanguard, he and Liu Zhi led 5000 people from Weichang to the south of Julu. They passed all the way and captured Quyang and Yang's counties. When they reached the foot of Julu City, they were blocked by Wang Ling.

Julu was in a critical position, a place that was contested in ancient times, and the city of Julu was tall and large. Chen Dao's several attacks failed.Wang Ling in the city was not afraid of the enemies outside the city, but he was worried about Cao Xiu. Why did Zhongshan send troops within half a month after Cao Xiu sent troops? Could there be some fraud?Urgently send people to inquire about Cao Xiu's news, and send people to report back to Yedu.

On November 29, Xu Shu, who was waiting for death, received a report from Chen Dao, and immediately bid farewell to Yuan Mai and Zhou Chong, leaving Wang Ji to stay behind. He and Hao Zhao led 5000 people via Changshan County in the southwest to take Shangquyang, Zhending, and Luancheng. , Continue to go south to Zhao State, and then turn east to take Gaoyi. Poor Changshan and Zhao Guo counties have no heavy soldiers guarding. Changshan Taishou Fuguo General Liu Ruo went to Yedu. Look out for the wind.On the ninth day of December, Xu Shu turned eastward from Gaoyi and arrived at Julu.

Julu City was in chaos for no other reason. Wu Zhi, the prefect of Zhao State appointed by Cao Pi, arrived on the sixth day of December. After arriving, he insisted on staying in the name of guarding, which made Wang Ling very unhappy.

The Wang family in Taiyuan has a prominent reputation. For those who are far away, Wang Jian, his son Wang Ben, and his grandson Wang Li are all famous generals of Qin for three generations. Wang Yuan, the son of Wang Li, is also the ancestor of the Wang family of Langya; Wang Yun who beheaded Dong Zhuo was Wang Ling's uncle, and Cao Cao's seven-star sword was given by Wang Yun.Wang Ling, who came from a noble family, already looked down on Wu Zhi, who was lucky enough to advance, and he was even more disgusted by the distraction of others.Wang Ling asked, why did he know that Cao Xiu was in the middle of the game, and instead of going to meet the giant deer, which was not in danger, he was able to defend the enemy outside the city with his own ability.

Wu Zhi blamed Wang Ling for his lack of knowledge. Cao Xiu, Gao Lan, and Yan Rou were all famous generals, with strong soldiers and horses supported by Wang Lang. Therefore, the real danger was Julu. Guangping is not as good as Julu in terms of location and danger, so it is the best plan to hold Julu and wait for Cao Xiu to return to the army to destroy the invaders.

Wu Zhi held Cao Pi's military order in his hand, Wang Ling had no choice but to defend the city with peace of mind.On the seventh day of the lunar new year, the Tan Ma sent came back to report that they had neither seen Cao Xiu nor Qian Zhao. The reason was that Gan Ning was attacking Wu Yi when they arrived in Wuyi, so Tan Ma hurried back to deliver the letter.

Wang Ling was terrified. Gan Ning's attack on Wuyi was undoubtedly to cut off Cao Xiu's escape route. Cao Xiu was afraid that the danger would be more dangerous, so he rushed to see Wu Zhi and demanded to send troops to rescue immediately.

"I know you are concerned about General Wenlie, but you still need to remain calm." Wu Zhi shook his head again. "Look, this is the news that Zhao State just sent. Xu Shu, the governor of Youzhou, left Zhongshan and arrived in Gaoyi when he went south to Zhao State. He will encircle Julu in less than two days. Therefore, Xu Shu's goal is still Julu. Don't be fooled, Yanyun."

Wang Ling was a little speechless about Wu Zhi's logic.

"This is an inference made by several counselors in Yedu. Now it seems that we are right." Wu Zhi continued to persuade Wang Ling. "Chen Dao has about 3 troops outside the city, and Xu Shu's department is estimated to have [-] to [-] troops. The elite are all here! Don't forget, General Wen Lie has [-] people under his command, and Wuyi also has [-] troops. People, may I ask Xu Shu where in Hejian there are so many people who are against General Wen Lie?"

Wu Zhi firmly believes that Xu Shu's goal is Julu.Wang Ling was so angry that he almost lifted the table and pointed Wu Zhi's nose. "Wu Taishou, Xu Shu's use of troops is elusive and elusive. General Cao has a noble status and is the pillar of Jizhou. Wei Gong entrusts Jizhou to General Cao before he leaves, so there must be no loss!"

Cao Xiu, the general, the pillar of Jizhou, Cao Cao's nephew, Cao Cao raised righteous troops in Yanzhou to attack Dong Zhuo, Cao Xiu changed his name from Wudi thousands of miles away, passed through Jingzhou and returned to the Central Plains north, and was called by Cao Cao. Parents and children, followed Cao Cao to conquer everywhere, and took charge of tiger and leopard cavalry.Wang Ling was so close to saying that even if the giant deer was lost, Cao Xiu must not make any mistakes.

"Yan Yun, don't you trust me, the counselors, and Mr. Zihuan?" Wu Zhi asked sharply.

This big hat is no small matter, and Wang Ling is also anxious. "Don't talk nonsense, and don't pressure me with Mr. Cao Pi..."

"Then you can't trust General Wen Lie's ability?" Wu Zhi's every word is a heart-breaking sentence.

"Of course I can trust Prefect Wu." Wang Ling smiled angrily, turning his finger on Wu Zhi. "Since the prefect insists on this, you must be able to defend Julu. I will lead the army to rescue General Cao."

"Absurd! In the face of the enemy, you don't want to think about how to defend against the enemy, but divide your troops instead?"

"Prefect Wu, I'm not your subordinate. I obey General Cao. Please be careful with your words." At this moment, Wang Ling didn't care about his face, and directly showed his trump card: Wu Zhi, you are the prefect of Zhao County. I'm also General Jianwu, we're on the same level, you can't control me.Although you have Cao Pi's warrant to guard Julu, you can't control me.Well, you guard the giant deer, and I will go.

"Hmph!" Wu Zhi snorted angrily. "I will report to Mr. Zihuan. I can't stop you if you go, but you can bring up to 5000 people!"

"Five thousand is five thousand!" Wang Ling waved his sleeves, turned and left.Gather five thousand elite men and head east all the way to Wuyi.

There were only 5000 people left in Julu City. Wu Zhi immediately sent someone to report to Cao Pi, asking for rescue.I personally went to the city to command the defense, summoned the young and strong in the city to help defend the city, opened the treasury to distribute money and food, and did my duty according to the heart of the army and the people, without any slack.

Wang Ling left for only one day before Xu Shubing arrived.Chen Dao, Liu Zhi, and Han Long reported to Xu Shu the situation of the siege. There were so many rolling logs, rocks, and arrows at the top of the city that it was difficult to get close. They lost 3000 people in three days of siege.He also informed Xu Shu that reinforcements arrived in the city a few days ago, but they did not know that Wang Ling had left.

Chen Dao couldn't help scolding Wu Zhi a few words, but Zhou Cang promoted Wu Zhi, and when something happened, Xu Du went to Cao Cao, and at this time he was his enemy and not a son of man.

Under the horse-riding city, Xu Shu frowned. The city is so well guarded, how to break the city?I don't know what's going on with Zhang Jaw, if the giant deer can't be captured quickly, the Southern Expedition will come to an end halfway, so they can only abandon Zhao, return to Zhongshan, and keep the captured Changshan County.

How is this good?

"Bo Dao, I know you are good at shooting and defending. A good defender must know how to attack a city. What's your opinion?" Xu Shu turned his head and asked Hao Zhao, who was concentrating on watching the city.Hao Zhao and Sun Li glanced at each other, and Xu Shu broke the rules and was also promoted to be a marching general, and his real job was to be the chief of the post.

"In my opinion, although the city wall is strong and thick, the gate is old. You can try to break the gate."

Liu Zhi shook his head. "This method has been tried..."
