Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 207 Attacking Chang'an Again
Although Liu Bei expected that it would be difficult to succeed in the conquest of Lujiang in a short period of time, he did not expect it to be so difficult.

Apart from starting the battle and going out of the city to meet the enemy, Lu Kang couldn't hold out after that. No matter how Liu Bei called for a fight, Lu Kang just ignored it.

Liu Bei relied on his status as the emperor's uncle, so naturally he would not scold Zhan; Guan Yu was arrogant, and he couldn't scold him; therefore, the task of scolding Zhan fell on Le Jiu.

At first, Lejiu was very motivated, but it was okay to scold for a day or two, but for a month of continuous scolding, even a rogue could not stand it.

In this way, it has been more than a month since Lu Kang insisted on defending Lujiang. During this period, Liu Bei also launched a siege, but Lu Kang resisted them all.

The walls of Lujiang City are tall, the moat is wide, the food and grass in the city are plentiful, and Lu Kang is quite popular, and Liu Bei has no choice.

As long as this siege battle persists, it will not be easy to win. Liu Bei knows this very well, but there is nothing he can do.

He had just won the title of Uncle Emperor, if he went back in such a disheveled manner, he would be ridiculous.

The slight sense of superiority that had just been established in front of Yuan Shu would also disappear, Liu Bei was not reconciled.

So Liu Bei stationed outside Lujiang City to confront Lu Kang!
The two sides entered into a tug-of-war, and the comparison was patience and exhaustion. Although Lujiang City had a lot of food and grass, there were times when it ran out.

And Liu Bei's situation was not much better, because there was no substantial progress, when Yuan Shu delivered the grain and grass, he either delayed the time or deducted the quantity.

Liu Bei had no choice but to send soldiers to the surrounding counties to "borrow food".

In this era, it sounds nice to borrow, but in fact, there is no essential difference between grabbing and grabbing.

Of course, Liu Bei will never do this "borrowing food" by himself, and Guan Yu will not go, either.

Le didn't care about this, on the contrary, he was very happy, because when borrowing food, he could also secretly earn a fortune.

However, Yuan Shu of Shouchun neither sent reinforcements nor urged Liu Bei to return to the army, and seemed very happy to see the current situation.

On the contrary, the young emperor Liu Xie sent his servants to the front line several times to express condolences, but this didn't seem to be of any real help except to make Liu Bei feel ashamed.

At this time, Zhao Qian, who was far away in Jinyang, was listening to Jing Fei's report, which was Liu Bei's attack on Lujiang.

After Zhao Qian finished listening, he smiled slightly and said, "It's God's will that Liu Bei can still get the title of Uncle Emperor."

Although Jing Fei didn't understand Zhao Qian's words, he didn't ask. He just said, "My lord, if Liu Bei helps Yuan Shu get the Lujiang River, Yuan Shu will be in Huaiyang, and his power will increase greatly, which is not good for my lord."

Zhao Qian nodded after hearing this, and said with a smile: "What Pengju said is not bad, but don't worry, if Yuan Shu becomes bigger, we are definitely not the ones who are anxious."

"Oh?" Jing Fei frowned, "Then who would be in a hurry?"

Zhao Qian smiled slightly, and said patiently: "If Yuan Shu's power grows bigger, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Sun Jian and others must be anxious, and they will not sit idly by."

Speaking of Sun Jian, Zhao Qian paused for a moment. Due to his intrusion, the Chuanguo Yuxi did not fall into Sun Jian's hands.

But Zhao Qian knew that this was by no means Sun Jian's style. As long as there was any disturbance, Sun Jian, a tiger, would definitely come out of the cage.

Jing Fei seemed to understand, nodded and stopped talking.

At this moment, Xun You walked in, bowed to Zhao Qian, and said, "My lord, General Xu Rong of Huayin has sent the battle report."

Hearing this, Zhao Qian frowned, not as calm and calm as before, and asked quickly: "What's the matter? Did that guy Lu Bu start restless?"

Xun You looked at Zhao Qian's reaction, chuckled, and said, "My lord, don't worry, this time it's not that Lu Bu can't stop, it's that Ma Teng can't sit still."

Hearing what Xun You said, Zhao Qian became interested and said, "What is Ma Teng going to do?"

"Before Lv Bu and Li Jue had a big battle, Li Jue and Dong Zhuo were beheaded by Lv Bu, Yang Feng and King Qin defected to Yuan Shu, only Lv Bu remained in Chang'an, and his strength was not as good as before." Xun You said.

Zhao Qian nodded and said, "These things are well known, what about Ma Teng?"

Xun You smiled again, and said, "Ma Teng was defeated by Lu Bu before, this time he saw Chang'an was empty, so he wanted to attack Lu Bu with General Xu Rong from Huayin."

After Zhao Qian heard this, he immediately understood that this was Ma Teng's personal revenge, so he asked, "What do you think of Gongda?"

Xun You thought for a while and said: "Now that Chang'an is in decline and the people are displaced, there is no great benefit to take from it. It is better to help Ma Teng."

Zhao Qian nodded and said, "Pengju, order someone to send an order to General Xu Rong to cooperate with Ma Teng in fighting, but there is no need to confront Lu Bu head-on."

"Order!" Jing Fei took the order and left.

At this time, in Ma Teng's mansion in Jincheng, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Ma Chao, and some of his cronies, civil and military, gathered together to discuss a plan to attack Chang'an.

Ma Teng said: "Before when we attacked Chang'an, we fell for a treacherous plan. Now there is only Lu Bu left in Chang'an. He is poor and alone. This is a good opportunity for revenge!"

Ma Chao then said: "Chao Yuan leads the army as a vanguard, opening the way for father!"

"Okay!" Ma Teng nodded, then turned to look at Han Sui, "Wen Yue, what do you think?"

Han Sui was not as active as Ma Teng and his son, instead he did not wrinkle slightly, and said, "Brother, although there is only Lu Bu left in Chang'an, Lu Bu is brave. As we all know, it is better to invite General Zhao Qian to send troops to discuss it .”

Hearing this, Ma Chao waved his hands and said, "Uncle's words are wrong. As soon as the general's heavenly soldiers arrive, Lu Bu will naturally fall apart. However, the general is busy with every opportunity, so how can he mobilize troops for such a trivial matter? Besides, Lu Bu and we all have grudges against each other." , How can you rely on others for revenge?"

"Meng Qi is right!" Ma Teng said loudly, "You have to avenge yourself. Besides, I have already informed General Xu Rong in Huayin. As long as he can send troops to contain Lu Bu, we will surely win!"

After thinking for a while, Han Sui nodded and said, "Okay then, since General Xu is cooperating, this battle must be won, so I would like to follow the elder brother's arrangement."

Hearing that Han Sui agreed to send troops to conquer Lu Bu, Ma Teng was very happy and said, "Okay! Wenyue, you go to prepare food, grass and military equipment, and Meng Qi goes to gather troops and horses. After three days, we will send to Chang'an and swear to kill Lu Bu!"

"Send troops to Chang'an, swear to kill Lu Bu!" Ma Chao followed up and shouted loudly.

Ma Chao and Lu Bu fought many times, each time it was slightly inferior. In this regard, he was quite unhappy. Since the return of Jinyang, he has strengthened training every day in order to defeat Lu Bu.

Now, here's your chance!
