Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

The current situation in Jizhou makes the family feel deeply uneasy. If they go against Lu Bu, if they don't have that strength, what will happen if someone in the family serves as an official? The military power is only in Lu Bu's hands. The result of the rebellion will only be the destruction of the family.

, members of the family become members of the construction team.

Jizhou and Qingzhou gradually stabilized after successive turmoils, but Xiangyang was in dire straits.

Cao's army attacked the city for a month and attacked the city wall several times. If it weren't for Guan Yu's bravery, the city might have been lost. Cao's army paid a heavy price in the siege. From the siege to the present, all the soldiers who died outside Xiangyang City

That's 15,000 people.

Guan Yu's heart was a little heavy. He could feel that the strength of Cao's army was gradually improving. In comparison, although the defenders were also improving, they were much worse than Cao's army. The madness shown by Cao's army during the battle made

People were frightened, especially the Qingzhou Army among Cao's troops.

Xiangyang was besieged, but reinforcements from other counties could not arrive. Even the navy suffered heavy losses under the heavy cavalry. The navy general Su Fei was even captured alive by Cao's army.

This situation made Zhuge Liang dare not easily mobilize the navy again. If he wanted to get reinforcements into the city, the most important thing was to deal with the heavy cavalry wandering on the battlefield. Even though Zhuge Liang was resourceful, he could not respond to the situation on the battlefield in a timely manner.

Knowing that, the enemy can only be allowed to run rampant on the battlefield. Although there are cavalry among the defenders, the quality of these cavalry is compared with Cao's cavalry, and their combat effectiveness is really weak. Although the Jingzhou army is developing, but the development

The speed was much worse than that of Cao Jun.

The Qingzhou Army, tiger and leopard cavalry, heavy cavalry, and heavy infantry among Cao's army can cause huge shocks on the battlefield. The lack of elite soldiers allows the Jingzhou Army to passively defend. As a result, Xiangyang

The war has reached an emergency stage.

The first thing to bear the brunt was the rise in rice prices. The money in the hands of the people depreciated at an extremely fast rate. In order to survive, the fields and houses at home gradually passed into the hands of aristocratic families, and many people even sold their children.

This has only been a month since Cao Jun's attack on the city. If the family can last for a long time, there will definitely be greater turmoil in the city.

What troubled Zhuge Liang the most was the price of rice grains in the city. If the price of rice grains could not be controlled and caused unrest among the people, it would be extremely disadvantageous for the defenders. In ordinary times, the people were gentle in the eyes of the rulers.

, if faced with life-threatening danger, they would not hesitate to stand up and resist. The Yellow Turban Rebellion back then was a good proof, and Zhuge Liang did not dare to gamble.

In comparison, although the aristocratic families in the city were worried about the safety of the city, it did not affect their pace of growing strength. In their eyes, they were more concerned about their family.

After Zhuge Liang walked around the city wall, he returned to the Hussar General's Mansion and fell into deep thought. The most important thing at the moment was not to stop Cao's army, but how to stabilize Xiangyang and let the aristocratic families help defend the city against Cao's army.

At this time, Zhuge Liang was thinking of Lu Bu. Everyone knew how Lu Bu treated the aristocratic family. The aristocratic family's impression of Lu Bu was that of cruelty. However, Lu Bu's cruelty resulted in stability under his rule. How urgent it was when the princes allied forces attacked Bingzhou.

However, there was no large-scale rebellion among the families under his rule, which proved that Lu Bu's method worked.

"Send an order for all heads of aristocratic families to go to the General's Mansion tonight to discuss matters." Zhuge Liang said.

After receiving Zhuge Liang's order, the aristocratic family had an unpleasant feeling. The last time Zhuge Liang discussed matters, the number of private soldiers in the aristocratic family's hands was reduced by 30%, and the aristocratic family also contributed a lot of food and grass. Mainly because after Zhuge Liang took control of the Kuai family, the aristocratic family was unable to

Do not comply. As for the Kuai family rebelling against Jingzhou and joining Cao Cao, more aristocratic families are skeptical. The contributions Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue have made to Jingzhou over the years are obvious to all. If the Kuai family had rebelled, they would not have supported it in the first place.

Liu Qi became emperor.

However, they can only keep these words in their hearts. Now in Xiangyang City, Zhuge Liang is the one who calls the shots.

Originally, people in the family looked down upon Zhuge Liang. After all, Zhuge Liang was too young. However, the methods Zhuge Liang showed shocked everyone among them. Putting the same thing in their hands, they may not be as experienced as Zhuge Liang in handling it.

.

Looking at Zhuge Liang in the top position, many aristocratic families even had a bad premonition.

Zhuge Liang coughed slightly, turned his gaze to Guan Yu and said, "General Guan, Cao's army is attacking the city fiercely now. Please tell us about the situation of the defenders."

"There were originally 20,000 defenders in the city, plus 1,000 private soldiers from the noble family, totaling 21,000. After one month of Cao's army attacking the city, 3,000 of the defenders died and 2,000 were seriously injured, leaving 16,000 soldiers available to fight.

Thousands of people." Guan Yu said: "The loss of Cao's army was about fifteen thousand."

The losses between the defenders and the attackers were about 1:3, which made the head of the family feel frightened. If the situation continues at this rate, it will be a matter of time before Xiangyang City is captured by Cao's army.

The defenders were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers. As for relying on righteousness to make Cao Cao retreat in the face of difficulties, it was obviously impossible. Since Cao Cao used so many troops to attack Xiangyang, both sides were in a fight to the death.

This is where Zhuge Liang feels the most troublesome. If Cao Jun's attack on Jingzhou is slowed down to a year later, Jingzhou will have enough confidence to stop Cao Jun. However, at this time, Liu Bei has just captured Yizhou and Jingzhou is weak. Who would have thought that

, Cao Jun, who originally supported Liu Bei's capture of Yizhou, would turn to attack Jingzhou.

"Now Cao Jun is attacking the city fiercely. If Cao Jun is allowed to attack Xiangyang, everyone here will not be spared. Even at this critical moment, there are still many aristocratic families secretly raising the price of rice in the city, making the people panic. From now on

, restore the price of rice grain in the city, if the General Mansion finds out which company is raising the price of rice grain, I will definitely have no reason to be soft, and I hope you can work together to resist the Cao thieves when Jingzhou is in danger."

Zhuge Liang said.

The heads of the aristocratic families all said yes, but as for their true thoughts, it is unclear. Will the aristocratic family be willing to give up the benefits they have obtained and instead help the defenders? How will the aristocratic family's character make them choose?

"Xianhe is responsible for investigating the price of rice grains. If there is any discovery, there is no need to report it to the general's office and it will be eradicated directly," Zhuge Liang said.

"Here." Jian Yong cupped his hands and said.

The aristocratic families in the city have already experienced how powerful Jian Yong is. He is the bane of the aristocratic families. As long as a family is targeted by Jian Yong, even if it is lucky enough to survive, it will still be peeled off. Many aristocratic families have secretly sent assassins.

He prepared to kill Jian Yong, but Jian Yong was extremely cunning, leaving the family at a loss.
