[Three Kingdoms] Small people's plan

Lu Xun wanted to speak, but he waited for Liu Xie to nod before saying, "I wonder if Sun Quan sent troops?"

Liu Xie tilted his body and tapped his finger on his face: "Bo Yan means... this plan is not just to kill two birds with one stone, but to kill three birds with one stone. Sun Quan is here, and he will come very quickly?"

Over there, Cao Pi stopped the half-opened bamboo slips.

Guo Jia nodded: "That's right, Sun Quan must have arrived too, so Cao Cao wants to break through the city, and he will seize the opportunity to make them fight the rat."

Lu Xun said: "Then today, isn't Cao Cao going to attack the city with all his might?"

Guo Jiadao: "There are still 12 soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City, and the city is strong..."

At this point, soldiers came to report that the siege had begun.

Listening carefully, the sound of the drums outside the city was indeed different than usual, with the sound of siege engines throwing and impacting, etc., it was much closer than before, only separated by a city wall.

Liu Xie suddenly said: "I want to see..."

Lu Xun and Guo Jia hurriedly stood up, knelt down to stop Liu Xie who was about to "take a look": "Your Majesty! Absolutely not! At this time, even the county government must strictly guard against sneaking in, how can they go outside!? Liu Shi Fire oil, be careful not to be careful!"

Liu Xie said: "With Lu Bu and Wei Yan here, you don't have to worry about it, so I'll let them know first. I'm going to have a look. First, I want to encourage the soldiers and civilians to stick to it. Second, I want to know how long the city wall can last. Feng Xiao, you and Gan Ning agreed The time is the second day of February, and there are still two full months until Gan Ning breaks the embankment to release the water!"

Lu Xun said: "Your Majesty, if you are in the city, the army and the people will stick to it to the end! As for the agreed period, wait for the Cao army to attack the city, or at night, please ask Wenhou or Wenchang to break through and inform Xingba!"

Guo Jia also persuaded: "If the emperor is worried, he can send an order to the two generals to report every hour. Why do you need to come in person?"

Liu Xie was stubborn—or rather curious.

Seeing that the two servants couldn't stop Liu Xie, Cao Pi coughed a few times and said hoarsely, "Please wait a moment, two servants, let me have a word with the emperor."

Liu Xie looked unwilling, but stopped in the end.

"There is the best viewing place in Xiangyang City. The city walls are covered with fireworks. How far can you see?"

Liu Xie said, "Zihuan refers to Mount Xian?"

Cao Pi laughed and said, "How big is Xiangyang? It's just a county."

Liu Xie laughed: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go!"

Cao Pi said: "I've seen too many, I'm not interested, you take the two who are dying outside the door!"

Liu Xie quit: "It's because they don't understand, you understand, that you want to accompany me, otherwise, how can I know those siege engines and the details inside?"

Cao Pi said: "I have taken too much medicine and feel uncomfortable."

Liu Xie said with a smile: "That medicine cures wind and cold! Since Zihuan has taken too much, why not go out and have some wind, so as to cancel each other out."

He came over to pull Cao Pi, but Cao Pi had no choice but to stand up.

Outside the door, Lu Xun and Guo Jia thought that Cao Pi would persuade Liu Xie not to go out, but in the end they still wanted to go, and they immediately had some complaints. They were relieved when they found out that they were going straight to Xianshan instead of going to the battle wall.

With Liu Xie's temper, he was so stubborn that he wouldn't let him go. If he didn't pay attention, he would definitely run away by himself. This majesty doesn't have a big picture, but he has countless weird little tricks, which is hard to guard against.

You can't hold it back, if you hold it back, you will have a headache!

In this regard, Cao Pi is wiser than his father.

The city of Xiangyang is small, but Xianshan Mountain is not short. It took half an hour to climb to the mountainside, but the northern battlefield, which was fought the hardest, could already be seen clearly.

It's one thing to sit on the high hall and listen to the battle report, but it's another thing to see Cao's army densely packed outside Xiangyang with your own eyes.

Liu Xie swallowed secretly, how dangerous Guo Jia's plan was, he really felt it at this time, not a hero, how could he survive such a scene! ?

Fortunately, the group of civil and military men in my hands are all heroes, fortunately~

Cao Pi stood by Liu Xie's side and gave way half a step. Lu Xun and Guo Jia fell behind after five or six steps.

If Cao Pi was just Liu Xie's one, they wouldn't be like this, but knowing what Cao Pi had done, faintly, knowing that they couldn't compare, they gave up their distance.

Cao Ang also wanted to rescue Liu Xie. Although he failed, he also won his current status, a very special status.

And Cao Pi not only rescued, but also successfully rescued. If Cao Cao hadn't besieged outside, based on this, Cao Pi would have been able to stand in the court, and his merits belonged to Sheji.

When they distanced themselves, they revealed the meaning of acceptance. Cao Pi was still the same, neither impetuous nor arrogant, with a respectful expression, kind words, and never exceeded the etiquette.

Liu Xie pointed to the trebuchets and asked, "That..."

Cao Pi understood: "The trebuchet, also called the trebuchet, can throw heavy objects. In the past, stones were usually used. Nowadays, there are more kerosene in the army, and the power of this object is even greater. If it is thrown at a place where soldiers are densely populated, dozens of people will be burned at once. .”

Liu Xie said "ah", then pointed to something farther away: "Where is that?"

"Building carriages," Cao Pi was really familiar with: "It is used for observation, and a small room is suspended above it, shaped like a bird's nest, also called nest carriages. Xiangyang City is surrounded by Xianshan Mountain, and the terrain outside the city is low. There is no need for building carriages, so I don't know the situation inside the city. "

There are also hundreds of tower-like things coming down the city wall of Xiangyang over the catapult, Liu Xie said: "I know this, the ladder, the figure of this thing has been seen in Luoyang Palace."

Cao Pi said: "Please look over there, Your Majesty, it is a car crash, which is used to break the door, and there is also a car, if it goes under the city wall, the soldiers protecting the car will dig the city wall with shovels, etc. , and the Liannu, which can be opened with the power of one stone to ten stones, if ten stones are used for the machine, the range will be more than two hundred feet."

Liu Xie was surprised, the era of cold weapons!That's all the range! ?If the emperors of the Han Dynasty were as warlike as some of their ancestors, what civilization could survive?

Looking at it from afar, the battle has been earth-shattering, the drums are thundering, the smoke is billowing, and hundreds of trebuchets are rising and falling one after another, throwing fireballs burning with thick smoke to Xiangyang, just like comets falling from the sky. , it fell into the city with the force of the wind, and as soon as it landed, a sea of ​​flames spread.

Although the city wall is strong, the city wall is vulnerable to the attack of these war machines.

The fortifications that Wei Yan had prepared earlier were destroyed more than half of it just over an hour after Cao Jun launched the siege. There were still some unused saber carts and wooden ox carts on the street that had been affected by the flames. Many soldiers and civilians were busy To put out the fire, as for the private houses, how can we take care of them.

Defensive, really passive.

Siege engines were not used after the infantry had reached the walls, unless Cao Cao wanted to raze Xiangyang to the ground.

The bloodiest moment is when the soldiers meet in hand-to-hand combat.

Cao Jun had already surrounded Xiangyang into iron barrels, and when he gave an attack order, all Cao soldiers who had been raised did their best. As long as one city wall fell, the whole city would fall. The place above the wall is fighting for life.

Cao Pi has long been used to it, and he still said calmly: "Lü Bu's courage lies in rushing to the battle and sticking to Xiangyang. He can't play a big role."

Liu Xie looked back at Cao Pi, and Cao Pi went on to say: "I don't know what Wei Yan is like, but looking at the layout of the city, this person has some knowledge, but lacks experience."

Liu Xie asked: "If Zihuan comes to guard, how will he guard?"

Cao Pi didn't answer, just said: "If you are a minister, you will be determined to prevent the emperor from carrying out this dangerous plan. Although the plan is exquisite and unparalleled, if it can be achieved, the world will be able to win a war, but there are not enough generals in front of the emperor. If you lack this, you can win. Defeat is set."

Liu Xie said: "If you want, I will be defeated."

Not finished.

Liu Xie was really defeated, and when he went back to Xudu, what idea did Cao Pi have...

Cao Pi said: "If the emperor is defeated, the minister will have no way out."

Liu Xie "..."

"Chen's father had doubts for a long time. I was able to deceive once, but not twice or three times. Luoshui designed to withdraw Ma Teng, and my father knew what I was hiding. He was able to withdraw Ma Teng, but he was captured by Lu Bu. Except on purpose, huh ..." Even if you really misread it, you can't explain it, and you can't get confused.

Cao Pi sighed, but Liu Xie laughed: "That's good! Zihuan will die with me, and I will die without regret!"

Cao Pi was surprised—how could he think of death if he was alive?

Liu Xie laughed more and more happily. When Cao Pi is not pretending to be a sheep, it is really pleasing to the eye!

Seeing Liu Xie's heartless smile, Cao Pi wanted to take a bite!

The two gradually... approached.

Lu Xun and Guo Jia hurriedly turned around, but they startled them. They turned their heads to look away, and Cao Pi coughed a few more times.

Gathering his strength, Cao Pi said: "If your majesty is in ambush, go out quickly! Father's side is full of elites, and Xiangyang can last for two days at most."

Seeing that the topic had returned to normal, Guo Jia said afterwards: "Your Majesty, recall Lu Bu and order him to go..."

Liu Xie said: "No need."

Cao Pi pointed to a high cliff on the top of the mountain and said, "Let's jump off that place!"

Liu Xie looked up and couldn't laugh or cry.

Cao Jun is good at fighting, and he has already been mentally prepared, but he didn't expect to be so good at fighting!

Fortunately, Huang Zhong, Liu Bei and Sun Quan were not all counted on to rescue him.

Liu Xie pulled Cao Pi: "Zi Huan, come with me, Bo Yan will lead the way."

Lu Xun bowed and led the way. Cao Pi looked at Liu Xie with inexplicable excitement. What can Liu Xie do?It's nothing more than those unexpected little tricks, sneaky ones may work, Cao Pi doesn't think he can come up with any useful methods to restore the current adversity.

It’s okay to go and have a look, but if you really want to break through, you can only let Lu Bu protect Liu Xie and escape from the city, but... that kind of chance is too small, unless...

Liu Xie was about the same height as him, and he could wear Liu Xie's clothes, but he couldn't do it. He changed into the court clothes and fled eastward at night, letting Lu Bu and Liu Xie pretend to be ordinary soldiers, and fled to Hanshui Ferry through the south gate.

As soon as the emperor fled, the army and the people in the city were in chaos. There must be countless people who fled, and only by hiding in them can they survive.

This life was originally picked up, if you don't want to part with Liu Xie, then give it to Liu Xie——
