Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 468 Xu Shu went to die

July [-], the second year of Jin Daye
In the name of the King of Jin, Han Fu announced to the world that the State of Jin is about to go to war with the State of Chu again.And this time, a total of 30 elite soldiers from the three routes went south, claiming to be an army of 50.

The 50 Jin army, in terms of number, has already put everyone in the Chu State at risk, and even many Chu State soldiers began to flee.Even Wu and Qin knew that if Jin attacked Chu with an army of 30, Chu would be doomed.

In the city of Chengdu, Cao Cao summoned all his advisers and military divisions to discuss the matter, but they had no troops to support Chu State at all.Chen Qingzhi's army is pressing down on the border, and the Jin army in Yongliang is also eyeing it. It is obvious that they want to make it impossible for Jin to "encircle Wei and save Zhao".

"Your Majesty, the state of Jin is strong and strong, but if it wants to destroy Chu in one fell swoop, it will inevitably hurt its vitality. I think that the king should not send troops, and should take advantage of the fisherman's profit. If Chu wins, he will unite with Chu to attack Jin; if Jin wins , then unite with Jin to attack Chu! In this way, the king can not only preserve his strength, but also develop and strengthen Qin." Yang Xiu was bold, he was the first to express his opinion, and at the same time he was complacent.

Both Jia Xu and Li Ru expressed disdain for Yang Xiu in their hearts. Although this man is talented, he can't control his mouth.If you talk too much, you will lose, Yang Xiu will die on his own mouth sooner or later.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, he was thinking about Yang Xiu's words, and at the same time looked at Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai understood the king's character, and then said: "Your Majesty, I think what Master Yang said is feasible, but in this way, the solution will be obvious. Your Majesty should make a plan to unite Jin and attack Chu, and bring the southwest of Jingzhou into Qin State territory."

Xizhi can guarantee that if Jin and Qin fight, the outcome is unpredictable.However, with Jin's national strength and Chu's war, Chu's chance of winning is less than [-]%.Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu are the only support of the Chu State, but the Jin State has Chen Qingzhi and Guo Jia, and the Marshal who went south three times is not extraordinary.Coupled with the addition of Pang Tong, who was from the same school as Zhuge Liang, Chu's original advantages disappeared.

Compared with military strength, Chu State is not the opponent of Jin State; compared with strategy, Chu State cannot calculate Jin State.All aspects are slightly inferior, and Chu State can only rely on Jingzhou's geographical advantages.

"Okay! Since Zhicai has said so, then prepare to send troops to attack Chu. Presumably Soochow will also have such a plan. Everyone in the world knows that Liu Bei will be defeated! Jin will defeat Jingzhou, and this place is a battle of right and wrong. East and West are under attack, it seems that Han Wu has already summoned to rule the world.” Cao Cao squinted his eyes, and he could see what Han Wu meant. Qin and Wu were dragged down.

In Jianye City of Wu State, King Sun Quan of Wu frowned when he heard the news that Jin State had launched an all-out war against Chu State.Between Chu State and Wu State, lips are dead and teeth are cold, but Sun Quan has no troops to support Chu State.

Lu Xun's army was strong enough to guard Jiangxia, but not enough to send troops to Jingzhou of Chu State.Now Shouchun is still fighting, Zhang Liao's offensive is fierce, and Lu Meng is also at his wits' end.Wu Guo not only has no soldiers to send, but also has no generals to send!
"Hey! I hope Liu Bei can survive this time. If he can't, there will be one less hero in the world. The world has been in chaos for so many years, is it possible that it will really be settled in the hands of Han Wu?" Sun Quan was envious and jealous, Obviously, he also has great plans and ambitions, and he also has enough troops, but he has met an opponent who is stronger than himself.The state of Jin was a behemoth that the state of Wu could not defeat even with all its strength.

Inside Chu
In Lingling City, people were panicked, but compared to Xiangyang City, it was still much better.Zhuge Liang led the army to the north, and the army of 13 elites and recruits was called a [-] army.Xu Shu has [-] elite soldiers in his hands, which adds up to [-] soldiers.

With the deployment of troops this time, the state of Chu is already in dire straits, and most of the people who can farm are forcibly dragged onto the battlefield.

Although Zhuge Liang didn't want to do this, if the whole people were not soldiers, I'm afraid it would be difficult to deal with Chu's 30 troops.

In the city of Xiangyang, Xu Shu defended here, and he gave up all the cities north of Xiangyang in exchange for the strength and situation of defending Xiangyang.The morale of the Jin army is now high. Before it was just a vanguard confrontation, Wei Yan and Zhang Fei lost [-] soldiers, which shows how difficult the Jin army is now.

"General Guan, from tomorrow onwards, you will be guarding the north gate. The east and west gates are guarded by General Wei Yan and General Zhang Fei respectively. We must hold on until Zhuge Liang sends troops to support us." Xu Shu was at his wit's end. , can only choose to stick to Xiangyang City.

The city of Xiangyang is tall, and the Jin army could not break through the city in the first time.Xu Shu also has great confidence in defending the city.

In Xue Rengui's camp five miles away from Xiangyang City, he squinted his eyes and read the letter written by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince while hesitating.

"General, is this gunpowder barrel really that powerful? If it is true that twenty gunpowder barrels can blow up Xiangyang's city tower, then tomorrow we can break through the city! Only fifty brothers who are going to die will be able to destroy the city." It is not a big problem to transport the gunpowder barrels to Xiangyang city!" Xue Rengui's lieutenant general was filled with righteous indignation, obviously wanting to take the initiative to sacrifice himself and use the gunpowder barrels to storm Xiangyang city.

Black powder, a destructive explosive prepared by Liu Ye according to the suggestions of Yuan Tiangang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.Although the current power is still very small, the explosive power and the sensitivity of gunpowder are very low, but a dozen barrels of gunpowder are enough to blow open the city gate of Xiangyang.

Xue Rengui narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you know that if the power of this black powder is really as His Royal Highness said, you will die in Xiangyang City together with those soldiers who charged ahead!"

He didn't want his brother who had followed him for many years to die, Xue Rengui was a man of flesh and blood after all.

"Ahaha! General, big brother! I have been following big brother for many years, why am I afraid of death? Big brother can't just think about a few of us. Now that big brother is a marshal, he has to think about the whole army. If these black powder can really explode The city gate, how many soldiers will be saved from the siege? If you still feel sorry, you can give our family several times more pensions after conquering Xiangyang City! Brother, tomorrow in Xiangyang City, we will be in the sky For your light work!" The deputy general walked out of Xue Rengui's camp, he followed Xue Rengui when he was a cook in the new barracks, and he has been doing the same until now.

Xue Rengui sighed with emotion, he also knew what it means to be successful, but this time it is his brother who will be damaged.However, what my brother said is true, that is, if the black powder can blow up the Xiangyang city tower, many soldiers will be saved from dying in the siege!

"Come on, pass on the order to storm the north gate of Xiangyang City tomorrow!" Xue Rengui gave the order, and the news immediately spread throughout the entire army, and it also reached Zhang He's camp not long after.

Zhang Ying, Xu Huang and Tai Shici are the three generals who conquered the south, Xue Rengui is responsible for consuming Chu's national power, and Xiangyang is basically his last battle during this period.

In Zhang He's camp, there were only Pang Tong and Zhang He in the Chinese army tent, and they were discussing Xue Rengui's attack on Xiangyang.

"General Zhang, I think that Xue Rengui will be able to conquer the city tomorrow. I heard that His Royal Highness secretly sent Xue Rengui a siege weapon. I think he will be able to conquer Xiangyang tomorrow. General Zhang led his troops to attack the west gate. If Xue Rengui succeeds in the north city, it will The west city will be destroyed without attack." Pang Tong narrowed his eyes, he felt that this time there might be a big good thing.

Xue Rengui is not the kind of impulsive person. Now there are [-] elite guards. If he is not sure about the city, he will definitely not attack rashly.

It is precisely because of this understanding of Xue Rengui that Pang Tong thinks that this time there will be a big advantage.

Zhang Yun also nodded, he also understood that this time there was something to be gained.

"Okay! If that's the case, then I'll write to Tai Shici and Xu Huang to let them send troops to Xiangyang. In this way, the Chu army in Xiangyang City will be the turtle in the urn!" Zhang He smiled happily and prepared to contact Tai Shici and Xu Huang by letter.

But Pang Tong grabbed his arm and said: "General, don't tell General Xu Huang and General Tai Shici this time. If the Jin army surrounds Xiangyang, then the soldiers inside will be trapped beasts. Be fierce. If you let this The [-] Chu army has drained the strength of our Jin State going south, and Zhuge Liang is not easy to deal with. What's more, there are [-] elites from Chen Dao in Fancheng, and the strength of the two generals has to be used to guard against Chen Dao."

Pang Tong obviously did not want Tai Shici and Xu Huang to compete for the credit this time, but he made a lot of sense.

Zhang He narrowed his eyes, and he also thought that this time, he should not tell Tai Shici and Xu Huang.After all, the credit for conquering Xiangyang was hard won.Originally, Xue Rengui took the majority of this skill, if Tai Shici and Xu Huang were allowed to take a share, there would be nothing to gain.

"Okay! Then don't tell them. I'm going to gather troops and send troops to Xiangyang tomorrow morning!"

On a peaceful night, the soldiers in Xiangyang City could not sleep, and they were led by Xu Shu.

Xu Shu asked himself that he had learned from others, but he was helpless when facing the army of Chu State.Chu's army is no longer able to defeat by strategy, and they are also very strategic.

"Tomorrow, there will be a great battle! I don't know how long Xiangyang City can defend, or how long Jingzhou can defend. The general trend of the world lies in Jin, and I don't know how long it will take for Han Wu to dominate the world."

Xu Shu lay on the bed and muttered to himself. He already understood that the world must be unified by Jin.Now, it's just a matter of time.

Even this Xiangyang, Xu Shu didn't have any confidence to defend it, but he could only do his best.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang He's army arrived at the west gate of Xiangyang before it was completely bright.Xue Rengui's elite army also arrived at the North City Gate, ready to break the city with one sentence.

Xu Shu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei personally guarded the city, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei guarded the north gate.

"General Zhang, I suddenly have a bad premonition. Let the cavalry soldiers prepare first. If the city is broken today, lead the troops to retreat immediately! You guys, go to the west gate and tell General Guan Yu in advance, let him Get ready to give up Xiangyang." Xu Shu narrowed his eyes and said cautiously.

He saw the Chu country's crossbow machine in the distance, and felt that the situation was not good this time.
