There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhang Ren and others concentrated the superior forces in central Sichuan, consolidated their position on Jiange Road, hoarded food and fodder, and planted defensive weapons in dangerous places. The most dangerous terrain was the most dangerous in the world.

Even if there are millions of soldiers, it is also sad.

And while the potter was thinking about Cao Cao and Liu Bei, Liu Bei and Cao Cao were also thinking about him.

At this time in Jiange, a person offered advice to Cao Cao and others.

This person is Jia Xu.

"Take the initiative to attack?"

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhang Ren and others looked at Jia Xu in amazement, unable to understand why this old guy would say such a thing.

After the construction of Jiange is ready, our side has already made up our minds to stick to it to the end, so why do we want to take the initiative to attack again?

After Cao Cao pondered for a while, Fang asked, "He, what do you mean?"

Jia Xu said: "At present, the defense of the Jiange is extremely tight, and the layout is as solid as gold. All the three armies are here. It is well known that everyone wants to use dangerous fortifications to resist Tao's army."

Cao Cao seemed to have realized something, he probably understood what Jia Xu meant.

"Sikong wants to defend, while the pottery merchant is trying his best to break through the Jiange. Presumably this is something everyone is thinking about. At this time, if Sikong counterattacks Nanzheng, it may not be miraculous."

Cao Cao roughly understood the meaning of this miraculous effect.

It would be a great blessing if he could kill the potter by catching him by surprise.

Chapter 921 Cao Liu's Counterattack

The pottery merchant's soldiers and horses had captured Nanzheng. In his heart, Cao Cao and Liu Bei were guarding the Jiange, and they were desperately rearranging the city defenses, for fear that they would kill the city someday.

At this moment, the potter's mind is full of how to break through the strong defense of Jiange, so as to break through the throat of Sichuan and Shu.

Among the thirteen states in the world, Sichuan and Shuer are the only ones that have not been pacified. Now as long as they can take down this barrier of the other side, the next road will be easy.

Everything seems to be working out.

However, it is also a difficulty for everyone that the Cao Liu coalition army is stationed here. The school office has already done a good job of investigation, and the enemy's pass has been fully prepared, and its defense level is not comparable.

I'm afraid it's not advisable to attack by force, but if you don't attack by force, use outsmart

There is Cao Cao in the opponent's pass. If he is determined to eat the weight and be a bully, even if the pottery uses tricks, it may not be of much use.

Could it be that there is no solution to this matter?

With this worry, the potter hasn't slept well these few days. One is because he is in a bad mood, and the other is because the climate in Hanzhong is relatively humid. The potter is used to living in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the weather in the south of the Yangtze River It is also relatively humid, but compared with the land in Sichuan, Shu and Hanzhong, it is completely different.

The local people are okay, but the potters are really not used to it.

That night, the potter tossed and turned in his room and couldn't sleep.

Touching the damp quilt on his body, the potter could not help but sigh, then turned up from the bed, walked to the window, and looked at the starry sky in the distance.

The potter lived in a small two-story building. In Nanzheng City, it can be said to be a relatively tall building. Living here, looking into the distance, you can have a clear view without any obstruction.

Although the line of sight is very good, it is a pity that the sky is covered with dark clouds, and it is so dark that you can't even see a single star, which really makes people feel meaningless.

"Ghost weather" the pottery merchant murmured, and wanted to turn around and go to the bed to continue to force himself to fall asleep, but suddenly found that there were dots of fire in the distance outside the city, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger. It even diffused into a piece.

Seeing this, the pottery merchant couldn't help being taken aback.

His first reaction was that someone was organizing a bonfire dinner?

But soon, this idea was denied by himself.

It's impossible, without my own consent, who would dare to set fire outside the city for fun?Aren't you afraid that you will slap him with a big ear?

But at this moment, a sliver of reason flashed through the potter's mind.

People who are not on your side set fire for fun?Who could be setting the fire?

I'm afraid there are only enemy troops left!

"Crack!" The potter threw a plate of wooden window frames heavily, but the result was that his palms were so painful.

"It's nothing," the pottery merchant muttered to himself, then quickly dressed and ran down the small building.

Outside the small building, Pei Qian couldn't help being curious when he saw that the pottery merchant ran out of his residence in the middle of the night without sleeping.

He took two steps forward, cupped his hands at the potter, and said, "Prime Minister stays up in the middle of the night and is in such a hurry. Could it be that he wants to find a chicken?"

The pottery merchant was suffocated when he heard the words, and looked at Pei Qian in a daze.

"I'm looking for your sister"

Pei Qian was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he sighed regretfully and said, "It's a pity that I don't have any younger sisters, only three younger brothers. If not, my subordinates are quite willing."

"You have a pretty good idea. There is a fire in the south of the city. It is very likely that Cao Cao and Liu Bei's troops came to attack at night. You should hurry up and send orders to the battalions and ministries to form formations to defend against the enemy!"

Hearing this, Pei Qian hurriedly looked towards the south of the city, but saw that there was indeed a fire there, and couldn't help turning pale: "Aren't Cao Cao and the others guarding the Jiange? How did they come here?"

The pottery merchant snorted softly, and said, "Now is not the time for self-criticism, hurry up and do what I say."

"promise!"

The sudden appearance of soldiers and horses from Cao Jun and Sichuan Army surprised the Jinling Army. From top to bottom, from top to bottom, from the most senior officer, Tao Shang, to the lower ranks, the Jinling Army did not expect that these should have been huddled inside the pass, waiting to be beaten. The allied forces of Cao and Liu took the initiative to attack and ran outside the pass to attack Nanzheng to have a decisive battle with the potters.

There was no need for Pei Qian to greet them, the generals of the various ministries got up one after another when they heard the sound of fighting around Nanzheng, commanded the generals of the various ministries, and led them out of the city and out of the village to fight against the enemy.

There are not many defenders in Nanzheng City, most of them are stationed in battalions outside the city. At this time, the weather is sweltering. In order to prevent the Jinling Army from organizing an effective counterattack in time, the Cao Liu Allied Forces began to attack the large areas around the city. The village was thrown randomly, and people were ordered to set fire to it. In order to fight the fire, the Jinling Army must divide some generals and troops, and organize battles temporarily.

The generals of the Jinling Army are currently focusing on defense and firefighting. As for the sudden emergence of the Cao-Liu Allied Forces, they are cautious in dealing with them, but they do not attack them forcefully.

"Prime Minister, the generals of the Cao Army and the Sichuan Army have already joined hands with the generals of the various departments of the army. Right now, the generals headed by Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Huang Zhong, Ji Ling, Zang Ba, etc. are fighting with The enemy army is fighting, the enemy's offensive is quite strong, and the Sichuan army is good at climbing, and they are still climbing the towers. I also ask the prime minister to withdraw from the city temporarily, and return safely after the general kills the enemy army."

The pottery merchant shook his head, and said, "No, my city, you let me run out a lot, and if word spreads, how will I get along in the circle of princes in the future?"

Pei Qian stomped his feet anxiously and said: "Our soldiers and horses are only weak for a while, so we have no ability to resist. If we persevere a little longer, we will definitely turn defeat into victory. When the prime minister returns to Nanzheng, he will be calm and tight."

Speaking of this, Pei Qian paused and said: "As for the matter of the circle of princes, there are not many people in the world who can hang out in your circle nowadays, and it doesn't matter if you pass it on or not."

""

After thinking about it calmly, what Pei Qian said is indeed somewhat reasonable.

It is impossible for our own soldiers and generals to lose to Cao Liu. They just took some good opportunities temporarily. When the generals of all ministries come back to their senses later, they will definitely defeat Cao Liu.

But if during this time period, let the Sichuan army take advantage of him, it would be more harm than good.
