Chapter 41: Defending the City

PS: I was so dizzy that I was posting forty-two chapters, and I changed it back.

I'm A Dou

Who is the opponent? Jia Xu, Sima Yi, Zhang Ji, Guo Zhun, Zhang He, and even Deng Ai, Zhong Hui?

Impossible and impossible.

I denied it one by one in my heart that although Jia Xu and Sima were talented, they were both in Luoyang and could not appear here; and Zhang Ji, the sect official of Yongzhou, Guo Huai, the chief of the west, and Zhang He, the general of the left, were confronting Mr. Kong Ming on the eastern front; as for the other two rising stars, I liked Xiaoba Deng Ai, who was only ten years older than me. He was born in Nanyang, Jingzhou, and perhaps he had sang the children's song "Heaven and Earth are like chess game" taught by Mr. Kong Ming to farm in the fields with his mother, and perhaps he was also a father and a citizen.

When crossing the river, he was mixed with countless people. He might have been one of the people who might have had an intersection with me, but he moved to Runan with his mother when Cao Cao immigrated to me. I asked my fourth uncle to help me find him, but I finally didn't find him - but he was only twenty-five years old this year. He was not valued for his stuttering, and perhaps he was still a little official guarding the straw somewhere; Zhong Hui? He would not be born five years later. It is still a question whether his father knew his mother.

But, are the information above me really correct?

Who is the opponent?

It is true that the opponent is terrible, but no matter how terrible the enemy is, it must be faced.

"Since we can roughly infer the other party's intentions, we will be able to do it." I gritted my teeth. Yes, I despised the other party, and the other party did have a layout expert that I could not reach. But not as good as him, it does not mean that I will be afraid of him. Since his goal is me, let me meet his challenge. "The original offensive plan remains unchanged. You all go, I will defend the city!"

Jiang Wei was also surprised to hear my decision: "Young Master wants to use himself as bait to lead that person to attack? This method is perfect - because we originally planned to do this - the army pretends to leave, the Young Master uses the lonely army as bait to lead the enemy to attack, and then we will be able to win a great victory. But Young Master, do you really plan to take risks with yourself? You must know that this small city is not unstoppable, and our army is not moving very quickly. If the city is broken before we return, the safety of the Young Master..."

"Haha," I laughed dryly, "The enemy's target is me. As long as I capture me, he will win this battle without fighting. This dark enemy is so thoughtful that he must find the moment when I am alone. Therefore, even if I follow the army, he will make a lot of tricks, divide our military strength, and then lead the elite to attack the central army. The enemy has the advantage of the plains. For me, the danger is even greater than that in the city. Moreover, at that time, the attack time and location

, all dominance such as investing in military strength is in the enemy's hands. Although we have the advantage of being well-trained and having more crossbows, it will be a fierce battle, and the outcome is difficult to decide. Outside the city, even if the enemy fails to hit a single blow, they can fly high and far away, and chase it without reaching. For us, it will not be worth the loss. But if I am in the city, the enemy's tricks cannot be carried out. Only by attacking the city will we gain the advantage of the territory. This is to use the enemy's shortcomings and attack my strengths. As long as you return to defend on time, our army will win!"

The plan has been decided, and the generals have been summoned to explain the matter. Everyone agrees with Jiang Wei's analysis. Guan Ping was ashamed, and Huang Hansheng said, "I always feel something is wrong. It turns out that this is the case, and then I will be afraid!" At the moment, Guan Ping, Jiang Wei led his troops out of the city respectively. Huang Hansheng and I led two thousand troops to stay to defend the city. Two thousand troops are not many, but it is enough for the elite central army, not to mention that there are one thousand Baier troops.

The Baier Army is my father's personal guard. Everyone is the elite selected from each army. They rolled over with their father's battle and killing. They are all warriors who are used to the stormy waves. In the official history, when his father was defeated in the attack on Eastern Wu, his commander Chen Dao commanded the Baier Army to cut off the rear, and hundreds of guns stopped the pursuers. His combat power was really extraordinary.

In the sky to the east, a red sun was about to burst out, and the small Quegu County was painted with a layer of pink oil paint. The fierce battle might happen soon.

When I was free, I finally had the mood to come and see this small city. This small city is a dirt city, not solid, and the walls are not very thick, but it is in a good terrain and is located at a high level, facing the water. According to legend, this city was built since the Qin Dynasty. The eldest son of the First Emperor Fusu and the general Meng Tian led their troops to the border of Beishan Tun. Seeing the plateau is high and shallow, the water is so shallow that the city is established here. When building the city, quail birds smell the fragrance and fly on the goblet, so the quail goblet is the name of the county.

The entire Anding County is located between the Jing River and Wei River. The terrain is flat and just at the mouth of Xisai. It has always been a must-see place for military strategists. Here, the Han and Qiang are mixed, and the people are more martial. When Mr. Shui Jing taught me the "Han Shu-Geography": "Tianshui, Longxi, Anding, the northern land, Shangjun, and the Xihe River are all approaching Rongdi, practicing war preparation, and having high strength, taking hunting first." These counties have always been the main source of the Yulin Army and the Qimen Army, and have always been famous generals.

This small city is no exception. Even some elderly people often have a strong look on their faces. However, over the years, after robbery by natural disasters and man-made disasters, there are only 1,700 households in this city, and the number of people who have left behind is even less than 2,000, and all of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

"Brother-in-law, why are there no young people here?"

Huang Zhong arranged for the city defense, and I once again implemented my own policy of pacifying people. I have been practicing this for a long time, but I am familiar with it.

But the father-in-law in front of me ignored me and walked with a clay pot in his hand. The guard next to me was a little dissatisfied. He had never seen a civilian behave so unreasonable to his noble young master. Just as I was about to have an attack, I stopped him early, thinking that maybe the person in front of me or the Qiang people did not speak Chinese, so I said in the simple Qiang language that I had learned, "Hello." The father-in-law looked at me, but he still said nothing and left slowly.

I sighed in my heart, and I didn't expect this person to be so unreasonable. However, it was so difficult to carry a water tank when he was old, and there were many families in the city with such a situation. Anyway, there were few things at this time, so I arranged for a personal guard to go out of the city to pick up water in the Heishui River, and I had to fill up all the water tanks in every household. I did this, one was to win people's hearts, and the other was that the enemy would have no way to replenish water as soon as it arrived. If the water was hidden in the people, I could support it for a while.

I read too many books about power-making techniques such as Shen Buhe. I have become accustomed to looking at the word "profit". It took a long time to realize how good it is to do this. But at this moment, I like to put everything in the power-making techniques, even if it is actually from the sincerity.

As soon as I finished the order, I heard a "touch". When I turned around quickly, the old man slipped under his feet, fell down, and smashed a clay pot. I hurried over and was about to help him up with the guards, but I couldn't help but sigh that the other person's old bones had broken his legs.

I ordered: "Call the doctor Cui from the camp to come."

Dr. Cui was a doctor who fell ill and was said to have learned to tie bones from Hua Tuo.

"Yes, young master." The guard agreed and turned around.

The old man's turbid eyes flashed with a strange light, and he stuttered: "He called you Young Master, you, are you Liu Adu?"

I didn't expect that my nickname would be more widely circulated than the larger ones. I smiled and said, "Yes." Then I realized that the old man in front of me was also a Han Chinese.

"I listen to the nursery rhyme: Beidou light is bright and pure, illuminating all the fields, and they are all stable. Could it be that this Anding County really wants to take over your hands?"

He actually said that Ji Anding was like this? I pretended to be nothing and shook my head and said, "I haven't heard this nursery rhyme."

While speaking, Doctor Cui had arrived. He and the guards carried the old man back to the courtyard. The old man kept looking back, as if he had something to say, but he finally didn't say it.

The army left, and the small town seemed empty. I walked on the street, checking my recent mistakes in my heart. In Chang'an, I also said that others were too frivolous and ruthless, but I didn't know that since I led the army alone, I was the same. It seems that things in the world are really easy to know and difficult to do. I also thought about the mysterious opponent in secret, and I don't know who he is. If I can't completely defeat him this time, the pacification of the two states of Yongliang would be delayed, and Mr. Kong Ming would be under greater pressure in the east. I don't know when Cao Pi would send troops and the scale of the troops. If the scale is too large, the food planted in the Guanzhong Plain will be sapling.

I also think that in recent years, people's fear of war has reached its peak. I heard that the teams were cleared immediately, and men, women, young and old fled into the mountains with big bags and small bags. Outside some city walls, there were often beggars and refugees who were hungry and cold. Among them, some were still trembling and lingering, while others had become lifeless pieces of meat that crows and birds were pecking at; many once prosperous cities, after experiencing war disasters, were left with only the cold moon shining on the ruins, desolate as if they were ghosts.

I actually hate war the most, but in order to escape the war, I first picked up my weapons and entered Yongliang. I was born in troubled times and was like the tide of independence. I didn’t want to be drowned by the huge waves, so I had to learn to swim and get on the trend first. I just hope that I could defeat the enemy smoothly this time, pacify the north, give me thirty years to rest and recuperate, and then compete with Cao Wei.

My talents are still insufficient. Apart from knowing some history for no reason and having a few outstanding teachers, I am still just an ordinary person. Although I am not stupid, in this world of elites, the gap is so big, and my goal is so far away from me.

I don’t need anyone to help me, I want to stand up, but how much do I have to do to be considered as standing up?

Unify the world? Do you leave your name in the Qing Dynasty?

Forget it, I thought too far and didn’t think about it anymore, and focus on the enemy in front of me.
