Farmer of Shu Han

"call!"

"boom!"

A stone crossed the Danshui and landed on the wetland on the shore, making a dull sound.

Apart from kicking up some muddy water, it didn't even hit a single shrimp.

Wei Jun on the pass, someone stretched his neck out of the city to see where the stone fell, and then curled his lips disapprovingly.

Judging from the reaction of the defenders, they should have gotten used to it long ago.

In the past two days, the Han army began to throw stones here.

At the beginning, it caused a commotion among the defenders.

It was later discovered that these stones were basically scattered, and their accuracy was extremely poor.

After two days, except for the occasional two or three pieces hitting the city wall.

The rest, basically, fell to the bank of Danshui, without even hitting the wall.

It seems that the thunderbolt chariot of the Han army is not only poor in accuracy, but also not as powerful as it is said in the legend.

What is like a thunder coming to the world, the sound shakes the world, and everything it hits is destroyed...

Looking at it now, it may be more reliable to "shock the world".

There is a river of Danshui, even the roar of Danshui can't hide its loud sound.

If there is no preparation, it will naturally scare people.

But now that Da Wei is prepared, he will naturally not be easily bluffed.

"Guess how many stones the thief will throw today?"

Someone looked at the other side and asked with a smile on his face.

"I bet ten yuan, no more."

Someone picked up the topic, and the tone was relaxed and freehand.

At the beginning, many people in Guancheng were panic-stricken when they heard that Thief Feng had personally brought them here.

It wasn't until Guanqiu Inspector came with reinforcements that he barely settled down.

It's just that people didn't expect that the thieves from the other side had been here for almost a month, and they hadn't even made a symbolic crossing just because they were stationed on the other side.

If it wasn't for Feng Thief's commander-in-chief sticking to the opposite bank, there might be someone in the Wei army at Caoqiao Pass who wanted to counterattack and test it.

Wei Bing at the head of the city, who was in charge of observing the situation on the other side, was joking and joking, when suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, someone noticed someone walking towards this side.

Turning his head subconsciously, he saw that it was Guanqiu Inspector patrolling the city, so frightened that he quickly reminded the others to keep silent.

Unlike Wei Bing who was relaxed underneath, Guanqiu Jian had a very serious face.

If you look carefully, you will find a trace of anxiety and hidden worry in his eyes.

He stood on the top of the city, looked at the other side, and asked:

"Is there any movement on the opposite side today?"

"General, it's the same as yesterday, it's just throwing a few stones."

While he was talking, he saw another stone flying in the air.

"boom"!

Passed by the side wall of Guancheng.

Guan Qiujian looked towards the direction where the stone fell, and remained silent.

Seeing the appearance of the general, the people below looked very winking:

"General, there is no need to worry. In the past two days, the bandits just wanted to scare us."

"Most of these stones fell on the shore, and the total number of stones that can reach the city in the past two days is only three or four."

"Like the one just now, it's already the farthest one. According to General Yimo, if the Danshui hadn't receded a little, they might even throw it on the shore..."

Before he finished speaking, another piece flew over.

"boom!"

This time, it landed on the city wall.

Even Guan Qiujian felt the slight vibration under his feet.

The last general who was about to say "I'm afraid they won't even be able to throw it to the shore" seemed to be choked.

Everyone was silent for a while, and the last general smiled and said:

"Today's bandit army is lucky, they were able to throw two yuan into the city..."

Before he finished speaking, there was another "bang".

Another piece hit the wall.

Guanqiu Jian subconsciously looked at the last general, the focus of his gaze was on that mouth.

The end general had already shut up one step earlier, and it was tightly shut.

Sure enough, after holding his breath and waiting for a while, the next stone hit the wetland on the shore after the water receded.

Someone quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Guan Qiujian finally spoke again:

"Don't despise the other side just because there is no big movement from the bandit army. Since Feng Bandit came out of the mountain, anyone who underestimated him will not end well."

Moreover, even those who did not despise him were still defeated.

This sentence is Guanqiu Jian's vigilance in his heart.

The soldiers below can be ignorant, not ignorant, or self-deceiving.

But as the main general, he must not relax in the slightest.

On the contrary, the longer the Han army stayed quiet on the other side, the more worried he became.

Legend has it that Feng Zei used his soldiers cunningly and impermanently. He either didn't move, or caught people off guard.

Not to mention his own rear, there is also an equally prestigious Lu Xun, who personally led the troops to float on the Han River, blocking the connection between Fancheng and Xiangyang.

Don't look at Guanqiu Jian's superficial calmness now, it's because of the attitude that a general must have.

But a few days ago, after getting news about Lu Xun and Xiangyang.

Guan Qiujian, who originally thought he had expected it, realized that his imagination of Feng Yong and Lu Xun was too simple.

Feng thief did not move, but Lu Xun surrounded Xiangyang with lightning speed.

Lu Xun's move was ruthless and decisive, taking advantage of Wu Kou's navy to turn Xiangyang into an isolated city south of the Han River.

I don't know if Suizhong can block Wu Kou's attack from the south.

If the defenders in Baozhong couldn't defend the wild water and were forced to retreat to Xiangyang in the end, then Xiangyang really had no room for maneuver.

Guanqiu Jian stood at the head of the city, looking at the other side, with his back to the crowd, the worry in his eyes finally couldn't be hidden anymore.

Just at this time, hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind, and at the same time someone shouted urgently:

"General!"

Guanqiu Jian turned around and looked at the person who came, when his gaze fell on the official document in the other party's hand, his pupils suddenly shrank.

For some reason, his heart sank suddenly.

The visitor came in front of Wu Qiujian, handed over the official document, and deliberately lowered his voice:

"General, urgent message from Wancheng!"

Guanqiu Jian took it over, stared at the official document for a while, didn't open it on the spot, just nodded.

There was no change in the expression on his face, he was still calm, and he put away the official documents slowly.

Then he continued to patrol the city for a while before leaving.

When he returned to the commander's mansion in the city, Guan Qiujian walked a few steps quickly, without even realizing that he kicked over the threshold.

As he was walking, he took out the official document, hurriedly opened the seal, and opened it to read before sitting down.

Before finishing watching, Guanqiu Jian's expression suddenly changed, he swayed, and sat down with his arms on the table.

Seeing it left and right, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern:

"Emissary?"

Guanqiu Jian closed his eyes, handed over the official document, and uttered a sentence awkwardly:

"The periphery of Xiangyang has been broken by Lu Xun."

Fancheng and Xiangyang are only separated by water, even if Lu Xun surrounds Xiangyang, even if Fancheng can only watch, at least he can watch.

At least even by watching and guessing, you can know the general situation of Xiangyang at any time.

Xiangyang is surrounded by the water village of the navy, and Xiangyang has high walls and deep pools, which can be relied on.

It stands to reason that it would not be easy for Wu Jun to break through the water village, at least he would have to pay a certain price.

It's just that what Wei Jun didn't expect was that Wu Jun immediately selected the elite at the beginning of the siege, and suddenly attacked the water village at night.

Everyone inside and outside Xiangyang was caught off guard.

The defenders inside the city and Fancheng, which was separated by a river, could only watch helplessly as the water fortress outside Xiangyang City was ablaze, and the loud shouts of killing rang out all night.

The defenders of Fancheng couldn't get through, and the defenders inside the city dared not open the city gates to support at night.

When it was dawn, although not all of the water fortresses had changed hands, the general situation was gone, and even if the defenders in the city left the city, they would be powerless to recover.

Guanqiu Jian has lived in Jingzhou for a long time, so he naturally knows the terrain of Xiangyang well.

The moat is more than a hundred feet wide, and it is connected to the Han River, so Wu Jun naturally has no ability to fill it.

But after Xiangyang City lost the water stronghold, the wide moat of Xiangyang City became the world of Wu Guo's water army.

Perhaps the only thing that makes Wu Kou's navy afraid is that once they cross the center line of the moat and approach the bottom of the city, the defenders at the top of the city can directly suppress it with arrow feathers.

But this is nothing more than self-consolation.

Xiangyang City is surrounded by water on three sides, and the huge geographical advantage of being surrounded by mountains in the south is actually most of the time for threats from the north.

When facing Wu Kou's powerful navy from the south, being surrounded by water on three sides became the enemy's help.

And the only mountains in the south of the city that can guard against the south can no longer play their due role after the Han River was blocked by Wu Kou.

Guan Qiujian could already imagine the plight of Xiangyang City at this time, and his face was extremely ugly.

"My lord, what should we do? Should we return to the teacher to save Xiangyang?"

After reading the official documents left and right, they were all shocked and asked quickly.

"No way!" Guanqiu Jian shook his head decisively when he heard the words, "I can't say that Feng Yong on the other side is waiting for this moment."

"Then what shall we do?"

Guanqiu Jian let out a long sigh, with a bitter expression on his face:

"The only solution now is to ask Xu Chang for help..."

To be honest, since he became Cao Rui's literary director twenty years ago, everything has been going smoothly.

After all, being young and successful, it is a bit of arrogance.

Even if Wei's power has been shrinking in the south of Jingzhou in the past few years, he also believes that this is due to the general situation and not his fault.

Regarding Feng Yong, Guanqiu Jian thought that he had taken it very seriously. Not only did he personally lead the army over, but he also kept telling his subordinates not to take it lightly.

I never thought that at this moment, I was still too arrogant and underestimated Feng Yong and Lu Xun.

The combination of Feng Yong and Lu Xun has just shown its power, and it has already made Guanqiu Jian feel deeply frustrated.

Left and right remembered what Wu Cishi had said before leading the troops here, and couldn't help reminding:

"But the envoy said that Xuchang..."

Guan Qiujian shook his head and interrupted the words of the left and right:

"At this time and at that time, since I can't get away here, at least the general should send someone else to Fancheng to take charge of the southern affairs."

"Okay, don't say any more, bring your pen and ink."

Just when Guanqiujian's appeal letter had just been sent out, the news of Xiangyang's siege had already set off a turbulent wave in Xuchang's court.

General Cao Shuang, holding the urgent report from Wancheng, his obese body trembled slightly, his face turned blue, he didn't know whether he was angry or frightened:

"Didn't Wu Zhonggong just send the battle report a few days ago, saying that Jingzhou is worry-free?! Why is Xiangyang surrounded by Wu Kou now?"

"Who is lying about the military situation, who is it!"

The general's roar echoed in the hall.

Wei Emperor Cao Fang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at the general's nervous yelling, with a frightened look on her immature face.

It's just that Cao Shuang has monopolized power over the past few years, acted arrogantly and extravagantly, changed court codes, and changed government orders several times.

He also raped the talents left by the late emperor, and sent the queen mother to live separately.

The prestige has not been established, but the hearts of the people have gradually lost.

Except that the young emperor was ignorant and fearful when he saw the general angry.

Most of the rest of the officials sitting below hung their heads and turned a deaf ear.

The majestic General Wei seemed a bit furious and incompetent.

Even the Taichung Three Dogs, who dance the most on weekdays, couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while.

There is no way, when it comes to fighting for power and profit, they are good hands.

But if we really want to talk about the military formation, whether it is Cao Shuang or Sangou, which one has really led the army?

In the end, Taiwei Manchong, who was in charge of the country's soldiers and horses in name, stood up:

"General, the battle on the front line is changing rapidly. If there is no worry today, it may not be all right tomorrow."

"Not to mention that according to the Jingzhou battle report, Feng Yong and Lu Xun joined forces to attack this time, attacking from the north and the south. Both of them are the best use of soldiers in the bandit army."

"Although Wu Zhonggong is well-known, but he hopes for war and lacks experience, how can he block the attack of these two thieves at the same time?"

"The situation in Jingzhou is urgent now, the court should try to save it immediately, instead of investigating the crimes of the soldiers in front at this time."

Man Chong is over eighty years old, and since Cao Shuang was transferred back from Huainan to make way for Wang Ling, he has gradually become old.

At such a high age, and in the position of the three princes, even Cao Shuang has to show respect on the surface.

When Cao Shuang heard Man Chong's words, he probably felt that he had lost his composure just now, so he calmed down:

"The Taiwei's words are very reasonable, but now, where should the reinforcements be transferred from?"

The war in Huainan is over, so it's not impossible to mobilize, but there can't be too many.

After all, based on Wu Kou's actions in Jingzhou, no one knows whether Sun Quan will suddenly attack Huainan again.

Moreover, the transfer of troops from Huainan is a long way and the time is too long. No one can guarantee whether it will be in time.

Feng Yong and Lu Xun's collaboration, who dares to underestimate it?

"I thought that Xuchang Zhongjun could go there."

When Cao Shuang heard this, his expression became ugly.

The Forbidden Army is indeed the most suitable. At the same time, as a strategic maneuver, the Forbidden Army is indeed responsible for supporting the border troops.

But Cao Shuang didn't dare to transfer the imperial army in his hands away from Xuchang at all.

In fact, if the war hadn't resumed this year, he had already planned to suggest that the emperor tour the east and go to Qiao County, one of the five capitals of the Great Wei Dynasty, to "stay temporarily" in the emperor's hometown.

As far as it can be from Luoyang.

This is why Cao Shuang was so annoyed when something happened in Jingzhou.

Because of the defeat in the war in Jingzhou, his plan was completely disrupted.

Nanyang is the barrier to the southeast of Xuchang!

Without Nanyang, plus Luoyang in the northwest, then Xuchang would face the worst situation.

At that time, the East tour will be different from when the first emperor left Luoyang.

"General, this time the Western Thieves and Wu Kou joined hands to invade our Great Wei. Wu Kou invaded Jingzhou in Huainan, and the Western Thieves invaded Hanoi Wuguan."

"This is at a time when the great Wei is in danger, and the Taifu has sent people from Luoyang to discuss with the general about the plan to destroy the bandits."

As soon as these words came out, the whole court immediately became commotion.

Cao Shuang was also a little unbelievable:

"Sima... the Taifu sent someone over?"

"Exactly."

"who?"
