Zhuge was reborn and killed the old thief Sima

While everyone's eyes were fixed on the game between Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun, a battle also broke out on the other side.

"Siege the city!"

"Whoever breaks the city first will be promoted to level three and will be rewarded with thousands of coins!"

"Jinglan, rush to the car, rush up!"

"The crossbowman suppresses, throws the cart...throws!"

At the foot of Fancheng, Cao Jun's general Gao Lan issued orders one after another, as if he wanted to defeat Fancheng in one battle.

Thousands of Cao's troops were well-dressed and brave in their charge, and their number...at a rough calculation, there were no less than five thousand.

At this time, all the defense on the city wall had been handed over to Huo Jun. As for Xu Shu himself, he looked at everything in front of him coldly, his brows sometimes frowning and sometimes relaxing.

"My mother, isn't Gao Lan just a surrendered general? He actually has thousands of troops in his hands. Didn't Cao Mengde always say that he doesn't have many soldiers?"

Huo Jun had a calm expression on his face, not panicking at all because of the attack in front of him.

But Yuan Wei, the young general next to Xu Shu, was different. He and Xu Shu were from Yingchuan, and their relationship was already good. At this time, the person responsible for protecting Xu Shu could not help but curse.

Hearing Yuan Wei's scolding, Xu Shu also chuckled.

"Why are you so angry? There is no problem in Fancheng now, Huo Jun... is very good!"

"Of course Yuan knows that Zhongmiao is very talented. Just from his defense in the past two days, he has already seen that he is a good general.

It's just... Yuan just can't figure out how many people Cao Mengde wants to use to deal with me and him!

In Fancheng alone, there are more than 5,000.

Mr. Yuan Zhi also said that the battle of Nawan City was to lure out the troops from Xinye Fan City, so there was an ambush?

That being said, Xinye must still have a force..."

Yuan Wei couldn't help but shudder as he said this, "Why did Cao Mengde come to this place? Did he even abandon Jizhou for me to wait for him?"

"Hahaha... you!" Xu Shu couldn't help but shook his head after laughing, "Xian Tong, you are also from Yingchuan, how come you can't even understand this?

Cao Mengde deployed his troops in this way precisely because he wanted to capture Jizhou and other places.

Didn't you see that flag?"

"I saw it, Gao Lan...it is said that it is the Four Court Pillars of Hebei, something that surrenders without a fight!"

"You...his flag is Pianjun...Although I can't see the words on the other flag clearly, if I guessed correctly, it is Hou Qi.

Although there have been more and more generals under Cao Mengde's command in recent years, this general is not as rare as it was back then.

But look at that old general Huang in Jingzhou.

He has been guarding Jingzhou for many years and has been in Jingzhou since before the Yellow Turban. He is still a Zhonglang general, and the partial general can only take his place.

How can he immediately ascend to such a high position if he has such great virtue?

In the past, Yuan Benchu’s subordinates could open mansions and build government offices, but they could not be appointed generals."

"...Mr. Yuan Zhi is saying that Cao Mengde is afraid that Gao Lan's command will have too much military power, and he wants to use this to kill time?"

"Cao Mengde is not so small-minded!" Xu Shu couldn't help but his face darkened. Looking at this guy who couldn't explain anything, he finally knew that he could no longer be subtle, "He is trying to set up a sign!

Zhang Hegaolan surrendered to Cao Mengde and immediately made him a general and a marquis... This was to tell the people of Jizhou that he was willing to accept them.

Not only that, I'm afraid not only Gao Lan is here this time, but Zhang He is also here.

Cao Mengde wants to show the world what it means to employ people without suspicion.

Let them take their own troops and horses away from the army and directly hand over their rear to them.

Their victory or defeat in this battle is no longer important to Cao Mengde. If they win, they will be rewarded heavily, if they lose, they will be comforted.

No matter he wins or loses, Cao Mengde will win the hearts of Jizhou soldiers."

After Xu Shu finished speaking, he glared at Yuan Wei.

"As for what you said... Cao Mengde is about to take the position of the first prince in the world. Do you think he will be worried about these few thousand people?"

"Five thousand Hebei elites...merely..." Yuan Wei couldn't help but tutted, "If our lord gets five thousand Hebei elites, I'm afraid General Zhang won't even care about drinking."

"...."

Xu Shu looked at the fellow countryman in front of him. He was too lazy to say anything more. How could there be such people in Yingchuan? He was afraid that he had fled when Duke Taiqiu tried his best to enlighten the people of Yingchuan.

After sighing for a while, Xu Shu continued to look at the battlefield in front of him, but his thoughts slowly drifted towards Wancheng.

This is already the third day of fighting between the two sides. Starting from the initial sneak attack by Gao Lan, the two sides fought fiercely, but Gao Lan's soldiers have not been able to gain a firm foothold on the city wall until now.

Huo Jun saw through the initial sneak attack. Instead of letting Gao Lan succeed, he boldly made a move to open the door and defeat the thief.

Pretending that the city gate was lost, he immediately deployed crossbowmen and kerosene behind him, and Gao Lan almost found himself in the gate of Fancheng in one night.

Several subsequent attacks were interrupted by him. As for Gao Lan's attempt to lure the enemy... even without Xu Shu's reminder, Huo Jun didn't even look at it.

It directly dragged down the opponent's morale, forcing Gao Lan to resort to the method of "there must be a brave man with a lot of money".

It can be said that their most dangerous time has passed.

Fancheng doesn't need Xu Shu to worry anymore, but Wancheng is different, because there is no news about Zhao Yun now. The most important thing is that Zhao Yun's rescue seems to him...too hasty.

I heard that General Zilong had also sent troops to assist Wancheng. With his previous caution, it was impossible for him not to see the problem here.

"So did you do this intentionally, or did the master see the wrong person..."

"Mr. Yuan Zhi!" Just when Xu Shu was deep in thought, Huo Jun's voice suddenly appeared from the side, making Xu Shu suddenly startled.

Seeing blood stains appear on the armor for the first time, Xu Shu also frowned slightly.

"It seems that Cao Jun's offensive today is quite impressive."

"Don't worry, Mr. Yuanzhi, Fancheng has been repaired many times by us, although we dare not say that Gao Lanzhi will not be allowed to enter the city in his lifetime.

But within ten months, he will not be able to break through the gate of Fancheng!"

"Ten months..." Xu Shu glanced at Huo Jun and somewhat understood what he meant, "Don't worry, I sent the news to Xiangyang and Wuling yesterday.

Maybe it's not enough for the Lord to come, but Liu Jingsheng doesn't care what he thinks.

At least he is still alive now, and he will never let Cao Mengde's troops act so recklessly in his place.

In as short as half a month or as long as twenty days, reinforcements will arrive in Xiangyang. If Gao Lan doesn't leave by then... I'm afraid he really won't be able to leave!"

"In this case, Huo doesn't need to recruit Fancheng's young men." Huo Jun also let out a sigh of relief at this time, and then bowed to Xu Shu and saluted, "General, there is still war, so take your leave!"

"Zhongmiao, pay attention to safety."
