The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

"What? What happened to the large number of soldiers and horses?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly said something to the old man in front of him, causing the old man's face to look solemn and immediately asked back.

"I don't know, I don't know who they are. They don't look like the hands of Zhu Fu, but more like those Shanyue people hidden in the deep mountains, but they don't look like the Shanyue natives."

The old man in front of him was Shi Xie, the current patriarch of the Shi family, and the middle-aged man who answered the conversation with him was Shi Wu, Shi Xie's youngest brother.

Although the scholar family didn't pay much attention to Zhu Fu, the governor of Jiaozhou, on the surface.But their scholar family is a member of Jiaozhou after all.

Even if Zhu Fu is ignored, the superficial work still needs to be done well.Two hours ago.Shi Xie ordered his youngest brother, Shi Wu, to go to Cangwu City, hoping that Shiwu would lead two thousand soldiers to Cangwu City, and that he and Zhu Fu would wait for Zhu Fu's dispatch.

Only in this way will Zhufu not attack their scholars, and it is also a form of support for scholars to express their support to Zhufu.

But before Shiwu's men and horses left Guangxin City, they were besieged by Liu Zheng's army, so they had to return halfway.

Chapter 2 Breakthrough Method

Shi Wu told Shi Xie what he observed in one breath.

Shi Xie frowned and looked at Shi Wu. Although he learned from Shi Wu about the situation outside the city, Shi Xie didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at this time.

In Jiaozhou, there are too many local ethnic minorities, and armed forces of ethnic minorities often come to besiege it, so Shi Xie is not too worried.

At this moment, he thought it was another minority who brought the people from the village to trouble him.

He, Shixie, had been the prefect of Cangwu in Jiaozhou area for many years. He had dealt with this kind of minority affairs a lot, and he was very experienced, so he immediately comforted his younger brother.

"Don't panic Shiwu, brother, I'll go out and see what's going on."

After Shi Xie comforted Shi Wu, he immediately walked out of the city.

Not long after, people from the Shi family gathered on the tower one after another.

Shi Wu followed Shi Xie's side, and immediately pointed to the army outside the city and said to his elder brother.

"Brother, have you seen it? It's these people who surrounded our Cangwu County with nothing to pass through, and the city walls were surrounded everywhere. And judging by their appearance, there are not only cavalry, but also archers. Although each There are only more than 2000 horses at the gate of the city, but with this attire, the combat power is impressive, if our people go out of the city to fight against them, I am afraid that the chances of winning are not high."

Shi Wu also knew some soldiers and horses, and after telling Shi Xie his opinion, Shi Xie's face inevitably became a little more gloomy.

At this time, Shi Xie had roughly guessed the identities of these people from the attire of these people outside the city. They were not the ethnic minorities he had in mind at first, but the bandits that Zhu Fu was going to deal with.

"It's something bad."

Shi Xie looked at the thousands of soldiers and horses outside the city in front of him, and couldn't help sighing.

When the Shi family brothers heard what Shi Xie said, they immediately became unhappy, and Shi Wu hurriedly asked Shi Xie.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"These people are probably not natives of ethnic minorities, but bandits who came down from Jingzhou. Have you seen those excellent horses? Those horses are tall and full of blood. At first glance, they are war horses from the north. We have no such horses in the south." There may be such horses, and as far as I know, the bandits that Zhu Fu will deal with are the remnants of the Yellow Turbans from the north."

"It can be seen from this that most of these people are the bandits Zhu Fu wants to deal with."

"Ah? These people are Zhu Fu's father-killing enemies?"

"Well, it's not far away, these bandits, why don't you go to fight Zhufu, come to our Guangxin City?"

Shi Wu heard his elder brother's conjecture, and immediately turned ugly, but he still didn't believe it, and couldn't figure out why these people came here. Guangxin is just a small county, and it's not worth it at all. Go to war.

Shi Wu's question made Shi Xie not answer directly.

Shi Xie just shook his head.

"I'm not sure about this. Now those thieves have come to our Guangxin, but they don't directly attack the city. I'm afraid they did it on purpose. Could it be that they want us to go to Zhufu for help?"

"That shouldn't be the case. These people are at most ten thousand people. If we go to Zhu Fu for help and Zhu Fu's army arrives, we will be able to clean up all these ten thousand people in one fell swoop."

"Hey, don't think about it now. Anyway, the tens of thousands of troops here are definitely not something we can deal with with the thousands of soldiers and horses in Guangxin City. No matter what, these people are the bandits Zhu Fu wants to deal with. This The news, we have to send it to Zhu Fu, if he doesn't come to rescue us, then we are really in danger."

Shi Xie didn't think too much about it. At this moment, he couldn't help thinking about it too much.

"But big brother, now that we are surrounded on all sides, there is no way to get out of the city. How about going to Zhu Fu for help?"

"Try to break out. In this way, I will gather all the people in the family and pretend to launch an attack outside the city at the north gate. You lead 1000 people and prepare to break through at the south gate. I will attract the nearby people. , when the time comes, these bandits will definitely mobilize the strength of other city gates, and when the strength of other city gates is weak, you will break through and leave, remember to give Zhu Fu a message and ask him to send troops to rescue us."

Shi Xie made a decision in the blink of an eye, and discussed the next confrontation plan with his youngest brother.

Shi Wu didn't hesitate, and agreed with all his heart. Such things as breaking out of the siege cannot be done by Shi Xie, a 50-year-old man, but only young and vigorous people like him.

"Father, let me be with my uncle."

Next to Shi Xie, another man who looked about 30 years old came up and said something to Shi Xie and Shi Wu.

This person is Shi Xie's son Shi Hui.

Shi Xie held Shi Xie in high regard, and was the smartest among Shi Xie's sons.

Shi Xie looked at his son, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Alright, Hui'er, follow your uncle to break through, but don't be reckless."

After Shi Xie gave his orders, he began to summon the people around him, gathered around the city wall, and asked the guards on the tower to move out the city defense facilities, bows and arrows and other things.

Not long after, a large number of people and things gathered on the tower.

Outside the city, Liu Zheng and Xu Huang stared at the city tower, and the changes on the city tower naturally couldn't escape their eyes.

"My lord, there are more and more people on the tower. It seems that they are planning to break out here."

"I don't think so. There are more and more people here, but no matter how many people they have, they will definitely not choose this side to break through. You know, we have besieged the surrounding cities, and our people are obviously much more than theirs. They gather so many people here, I'm afraid they are trying to break out for other people on the road."

"Hey, these South Vietnamese natives are so smart, I don't think so, I think they are probably trying to break out here."

When Gan Ning saw Liu Zheng actually said that these people would not break through, he immediately didn't believe it.

"Haha, since you are not good at Xingba Gan Ning, why don't we make a bet?"

"Okay, what do you want to bet, my lord?"

"Just bet on whether they will break through this city gate!"

"No problem, what is the lord's bet?"

Gan Ning immediately followed Liu Zheng's words and asked a question.

"Bet? Well, let's bet on the position of the commander of the third battalion."

As soon as Liu Zheng's words were said, Gan Ning's expression was startled, and then he showed a look of surprise.

"That's good. A gentleman's words are hard to follow!"

"Okay, a gentleman's words are hard to follow!"

2 Chapter [-] Conversation under the City

Soon.

More and more people gathered on the tower.After releasing a certain number of horses, Guangxin City will open the city gate, and a group of people and horses will come out from this Guangxin City.

As soon as these people came out, they immediately rushed towards the encirclement circle surrounded by Liu Zheng and others outside the city.

This immediately caused the people on Liu Zheng's side to be shocked, and began to surround these rushing people.

Gan Ning on the side immediately laughed.

"Haha, my lord, you lost. These people want to break out from here. I'll kill them all right away."

Gan Ning excitedly said something to Liu Zheng, and immediately rode his horse to charge up, intending to keep all the people who rushed out of the city behind.

But Liu Zheng smiled faintly after hearing Gan Ning's words, and he was not in a hurry at all.

The people rushing out from Guangxin City hadn't taken a few steps, when they saw the rebels from Liu Zheng's side, they were besieging them frantically, and they were immediately frightened, retreated in a panic, turned around and returned to Guangxin City.

In the blink of an eye, the soldiers who rushed out from Guangxin City returned to Guangxin City in a very short time.

The Liu Zhengjun soldiers who were waiting in full force were immediately dumbfounded, but they had already charged up, so they could only continue to charge forward, wanting to enter the city before the city gate was closed.

But at this time, the armies of the aristocratic families who were waiting in full battle in the city all began to attack outside the city.

All kinds of arrows, rolling logs and boulders were continuously thrown from the tower.

He wanted to hinder Liu Zheng's army from attacking the city.

Gan Ning and others rushed to the front, but after all, the distance was relatively far. Those soldiers and horses from Guangxin City rushed back to the city, and Gan Ning still failed to catch up before the city gate was closed.

Seeing that the attack from the top of the tower came again, Gan Ning could only stop his steps and start to retreat while blocking the attack from the top of the tower.

A siege battle that had just been provoked disappeared, Gan Ning was so angry that his teeth itch.

Liu Zheng's army retreated after losing more than a dozen men.Step back beyond the safety line.Gan Ning looked frustrated.

"Damn it, these Jiaozhou thieves are so cowardly. They promised to break through, and then ran back as soon as they came out. What kind of cowards are they? If you have the guts to fight me for 300 rounds!"

Liu Zheng looked at Gan Ning, patted Gan Ning on the shoulder, and said something to comfort him.

"Xingba, I'm guessing right, they won't break through here, these people here are just a feint attack, the purpose is to attract our attention, those who really break through are probably between the other three city gates. any one of the

"My lord, what should we do? Just let these people break through?"

"Of course, our purpose is to let him break through and leave before Cangwu City reports to the Zhufu."

Liu Zheng said something to Gan Ning, and then looked at Xu Huang.

He gave another order to Xu Huang.

"Xu Huang, go and order some of the soldiers and horses at the surrounding city gates to come here."

Since Liu Zheng wants to play, he has to do it enough. If he doesn't take out some of the soldiers and horses in the other surrounding city gates, it will be more difficult for the soldiers and horses in the city to break through the encirclement. All the people under Liu Zheng's command defeated all the people who broke through.

Wouldn't it be a waste of all previous efforts.

Therefore, in order to create a good environment for the scholars who went to Cangwu City to ask for help.Liu Zheng also had to help them reduce the difficulty factor of the road to break through.

After Xu Huang received Liu Zheng's order, he quickly started to act.

Immediately ordered that the soldiers and horses of the three surrounding city gates be dispatched to support the city gate here with 1000 people.

Because Guangxin City is not big at all, coupled with the cavalry spreading the battlefield situation and various orders, the soldiers from several surrounding city gates quickly gathered at the North City Gate.

After seeing this situation, the army of scholars in the city.Also started to act.

"Awu, Hui'er, these bandits outside the city have begun to mobilize their troops. They really fell into our trap. Most of the troops from other gates have gathered at the north gate. Now you can prepare to break through."

"Remember that after an hour, I will bring people here to break through again in suits, and you will start attacking from the other side. Remember to protect your own life. Even if you can't break through, you must be careful."

"Okay, brother, we're ready."

Shi Wu immediately said something to his elder brother, and then he took Shi Xie's son Shi Hui, and began to bring the most elite one thousand private soldiers of the Shi family, and ran quickly in the direction of the south gate.

After Shi Xie said something to his younger brother and son, he began to prepare for the Sunshine thing again.

On Liu Zheng's side, it wasn't long before this army was mobilized here.He is also starting to prepare for a feigned attack.

But on Liu Zheng's side, the attack had not yet begun. On the tower, Shi Xiebian shouted at Liu Zheng outside the city.

"The one outside the city is Liu Zheng, the remnant member of the Yellow Turban?"

Although Liu Zheng had already announced his departure from the Yellow Turban Army camp, his announcement was only known to the Yellow Turban Army.

As far as outside rumors are concerned, they still only know one Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng who is the commander of the Yellow Turban Army.

This position is not something that Liu Zheng can easily shake off.

Liu Zheng wanted to attack the city, but after hearing Shi Xie's words, he did not continue to advocate the attack, but walked out immediately, wanting to chat with Shi Xie.

Anyway, he planned to cooperate with Shi Xie, and he couldn't make the relationship too rigid.

"I'm Liu Zheng. You must be the master of Guangxin City, Prefect Xie."

"Your Excellency, why don't you hide in your deep mountains, why did you suddenly come out to attack my Guangxin City? You and I have no grievances, and there is no Yellow Turban rebellion in my Jiaozhou. What is your purpose here?"

Shi Xie actually knew what Liu Zheng's purpose was here.But he couldn't talk to Liu Zheng directly, but deliberately delayed the time in order to contain Liu Zheng, so he had to find some topics.

Liu Zheng knew that he was delaying time, so he followed the other party's meaning and began to answer.

"Attack Guangxin City, I didn't attack, Shi Xie prefect, did you make a mistake?"

"If you didn't attack my Guangxin City, why did you send troops to surround Guangxin City?"

"Don't take me for a fool. I know what's going on between you and Zhu Fu. Zhu Fu wants to deal with you. That's between him and you. It has nothing to do with me. You, Chen Bing, are in my Guangxin city. I'm so bully?"

When Shi Xie saw Liu Zheng and Chen Bing's tens of thousands of troops outside Guangxin City, although he felt guilty, he still had to pretend on the surface that he didn't care about Liu Zheng at all, otherwise he would be too cowardly. He also has no confidence in front of Zheng. He can only pretend that he is not afraid and doesn't care at all, so that Liu Zheng will be cautious and dare not act rashly.

"Since you know the relationship between me and Zhu Fu, then I don't need to say anything more to you. You must understand that this is not my trouble with Zhu Fu, but that bastard Zhu Fu wants to deal with me. , I'm just forced to fight."
