Xiaoqi

Last night, Cao Cao sent his generals Xiahou Dun and Li Dian to cross the river with [-] soldiers to help Zhang Miao defend the city.

However, Yuan Shao in Jizhou has no news at all.It is said that he was busy seizing Han Fu's Jizhou and had no time for others; therefore, he turned a deaf ear to Zhang Miao's letter asking for help and ignored it at all.

However, from Zhang Miao's point of view, it would be good if Yuan Shao didn't send anyone to help. Anyway, with Cao Cao's reinforcements, plus more than [-] troops in his headquarters, it was enough to defend Chenliu City.

Chen Liu left the city.

Li Jue's army is waiting in formation, the army is solemn, the soldiers are at their peak, and they are ready to fight, with a murderous look.

At the rear of the army formation, there are also a large number of siege equipment prepared, such as ladders, well rails, catapults, giant logs, and caltrops piled up like a mountain. They are so powerful that they will use Luoyang's victorious army to capture Chenliujian City in one fell swoop.

At the head of Chenliu City, behind the female wall.

Zhang Miao, Xiahou Dun and Li Dian, who were hiding behind the wall, looked down at the Xiliang army formation in the distance, with solemn expressions and solemn eyes.

"Ming Gong, it seems that Li Jue is bound to win this time, and he wants to capture Chen Liucheng, so he has a big appetite!"

Xiahou Dun looked at Li Jue's army with cold eyes, and said with emotion.

Xiahou Dun was over [-] years old, with curly hair, tiger eyebrows and big eyes, a big beard, eight feet long and strong.It looks extremely majestic and majestic, and it looks like a tiger general.

After Zhang Miao heard Xiahou Dun's words, his brows were tightly furrowed, and there were ravines on his forehead, making him appear extremely anxious.

"Yuan Rang's words are correct. The thief Li Jue is not kind here. He is trying to destroy my Zhang Miao family!"

Li Dian is not very old, and his position is not high, but he is calm and stable, and he is highly regarded by Cao Cao.This time he was assisting Xiahoudun to fight against Li Jue, so he was able to climb to the top of the city and stand with Xiahoudun and Zhang Miao.

Seeing that Zhang Miao was depressed and worried, Li Dian comforted him and said, "Duke Ming, there is no need to worry. Although Xiliang's army is mighty, they have come from afar and are notorious. We have tens of thousands of soldiers, which is enough to defend this city." .

In addition, Chen Liucheng is extremely strong and famous all over the world.In the past, Dong Zhuo personally commanded an army of more than [-] troops, and Lv Bu charged into the battle, but he was still unable to break through Chenliu City.Today Li Jue has only [-] soldiers and horses, how can he be better than Dong Zhuo? "

"Uh! What Mancheng said is so true! I was so anxious that I forgot that Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu and others had also attacked me in Chenliu City, and finally returned in defeat. Li Jue's rebel is just Dong's hawk, how can he defeat me? Fortified City? Hahaha!"

Zhang Miao was relieved by Li Dian's words, and suddenly his momentum rose sharply, and he laughed heartily.

In fact, Zhang Miao is not very old, only in his forties, but he debuted earlier and has senior qualifications.In addition, people in this era generally don't live long, many people die at the age of five or sixty, and people in their 60s can call themselves elders and call themselves old husbands; the same is true for Zhu Jun before.

When Zhang Miao laughed, Xiahou Dun and Li Dian looked at each other with a smile on their lips, and then they nodded in tacit understanding.

Then Xiahou Dun asked Zhang Miao: "Ming Gong, who do you arrange to guard the city? If Ming Gong trusts me, how about I be in charge of guarding the city?"

"Uh, this...."

When Zhang Miao first heard Xiahou Dun's words, he was at a loss for words and didn't know how to respond.

After all, Chen Liucheng is his own county, how can he easily entrust it to outsiders, just in case...

In troubled times, no one can trust anyone.Although Zhang Miao had a very good personal relationship with Cao Cao, it was only a personal relationship. In fact, he was always on guard against back arrows from his friends behind him.

With a lot of thoughts in his heart, Zhang Miao said with a smile: "Yuan Rang has been on the road again and again, the pommel horse is exhausted, and he entered the city late at night. Li Jue and others don't know that you led the army to help.

You and Mancheng will stay in another courtyard for the time being so that you can rest, and don't show up for the time being, you are really a surprise soldier; the job of guarding the city is still held by Sima Zhao Chong under my account.If the battle is unfavorable, maybe you have to trouble Yuan Rang to defend the city!Hehehe! "

Although he was quite scruples in his heart, Zhang Miao could not stop talking, and there was still room for it; this was the time for employing people, and he could not offend Xiahou Dun, Li Dian and other reinforcements.

···················

Chen Liu left the city.

Li Li stared at Chen Liucheng, which was four feet high and two feet thick, in a daze.

With a city wall nearly ten meters high and five or six meters thick, Chenliujian City lives up to its reputation!

（注：汉时一丈约合2.3~2.5米左右，一尺为23~25厘米；本书一尺为23厘米。）

Chenliujian City has long been famous far and wide.

In the past, the princes of the world gathered together to attack Dong Zhuo, and the allied camp was stationed in this city.

Later, Dong Zhuo personally commanded an army of 30 to go out to conquer the allied forces, in an attempt to defeat the alliance of princes in one fell swoop, and sent the vanguard Lu Bu to Chenliu City to challenge before leaving the battle.

Lu Bu leaped in front of the formation, raised his halberd and scolded all the princes, and shot the battle flag at the top of the city with his arrows, showing his might.

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu's move attracted the three unknown brothers Liu Guan Zhang.

Under Chen Liuguan, Sanying fought against Lu Bu, and became famous in the first battle, and the reputation spread all over the country.

Afterwards, the armies of the feudal lords rose up to attack and defeated Dong Zhuo's army in one fell swoop, causing Dong Zhuo to kidnap Emperor Xian and all the officials and forcefully move the capital to Chang'an.

This time when soldiers came to Chenliu's city again, Li Jue and other generals from Xiliang were deeply moved. The scene of Chenliu's battle in the past instantly came to mind.

"General, Chenliu City is extremely strong, with high walls and thick walls, so it is not easy to attack by force. In the past, the Prime Minister led an army of 30 and was unable to shake this city. Today, we must not repeat the same mistakes and lose our soldiers and lose our generals!"

Good old man Zhang Ji stared at Chen Liucheng and said to Li Jue in a deep voice.

Zhang Ji's deeply touched words were heard clearly by all the Xiliang generals in front of the battle, and they all nodded in agreement.

Li Jue nodded slightly and said: "Chen Liu's city is strong, so he can't attack by force; if he can lure the enemy out of the city to fight, with Zhang Miao's ten thousand weak brigades, he will be able to stop the chariot with his arms, and he can win a battle!

Wang Fang obeyed the order and ordered you to close the challenge. As long as Zhang Miao goes out of the city to face the battle, you will be the first in this battle! "

Sure enough, Li Jue didn't know that in the middle of the night last night, Cao Cao sent two generals, Xiahou Dun and Li Dian, with [-] infantry, to quietly enter the city to support Zhang Miao.

"No, the last general takes orders!"

Wang Fang surrendered his hands to accept the order, jumped out happily, ran two hundred paces below the city, cursed Zhang Miao harshly, and made provocative words.

Li Li saw Wang Fang coming out to challenge, and Zhang Miao and others who had closed the gate did not respond immediately, and said softly to Li Jue: "Uncle, Zhang Miao is outnumbered, I am afraid that he will not go out to fight easily, let alone go out of the city to fight with our army.

In this way, Chenliu's city is hard to conquer in a short time, so it is better to set up camp and besiege Chenliu for the time being.After a long period of sleepiness, changes will inevitably occur in the city, and Zhang Miao will definitely find ways to surprise our army.At that time, as long as our army uses the fighters properly, it may be possible to break the city in one battle. "

Li Jue pondered for a moment when he heard the words, nodded and said: "That's the only way to go. Wait a little longer, our army's morale can be boosted when it first arrives, and we must attack the city today; otherwise, the army's morale will be unstable, which will not be good for the battle!

Li'er, go to the rear army and cooperate with Fan Yong to guard the supplies and food.You have made military exploits many times before, and your soldiers and horses have suffered a lot. Let the other generals fight this time, lest they feel dissatisfied and secretly resent you. "

When Li Li heard this, he nodded in surprise, stopped talking, turned around silently, and returned to the rear of the army.

"Old Zhang Miao, the magistrate of a dignified county like a tortoise shrank his head like a turtle and dared not go out of the city to fight. How can he live in this world? Why don't he die so that the world will not laugh at him?"

"Old man, do you dare to go out of the city to fight my Wang Fang? The old man is as timid as a mouse, how dare you show yourself in front of others, and be ashamed of yourself?"

Under Chenliu's castle, Wang Fang insulted him in every possible way, his voice shook all directions, and he unscrupulously provoked Zhang Miao and others on the top of the gate.

On the top of the wall, although Zhang Miao's face was red, his eyes were spitting fire, and he was full of resentment, he remained motionless and refused to respond to Wang Fang's provocation.
