Chapter 506(1/2)
Liu Bei is confused!
The Lu Su Corps was not a vegetarian. It performed admirably both in the Yangzhou campaign and in the counterattack against Yuzhou.
Although Zhou Tai was transferred away, the Taishi Ci Cavalry Division in the regiment was definitely extremely powerful.
When cavalry confronts infantry, the infantry is in a situation of being ravaged.
Xuzhou has no cavalry.
The Lu Su Corps had 20,000 cavalry, and it was a cavalry division that frightened the prairie cavalry by killing them on the Liaodong battlefield.
On the battlefield of the Central Plains, cavalry is invincible.
But what?
What the second brother said is indeed a choice. As long as Lu Su agrees to challenge, the second brother and the third brother will be completely invincible due to their bravery.
well!
Liu Bei let out a long sigh.
"I'm afraid that the Xiakou army is unwilling to fight. Why does Lu Su want to fight with us when he has a huge advantage?"
Liu Bei said.
"Master Liu, I heard that Lu Su is not very old. You can definitely send someone to provoke the general. Maybe he will agree."
Sun Qiandao.
"Okay! I'll trouble you, Mr. Gongyou, to go to the Xiakou Army Barracks and get a feel for their situation."
Liu Bei said.
"As you command!"
Sun Qiandao.
After several days of rapid march, 70,000 Xiakou troops marched to the foot of Peng City. When they saw the city gate closed, Qin Qi and Lu Su took their guards and walked around the city.
Returning to the Chinese army's tent, Lu Su asked the military officials and military staff to write letters, preparing for the soldiers to shoot into the city with bows and arrows at night.
When the crowd was quiet at night, the cavalry division sent four teams and quietly approached the four city gates. Then, with bows and arrows drawn, they shot letters one after another into the city.
In Pengcheng, the soldiers on duty picked up the letters and looked at them.
The illiterate soldier put the received letter into his pocket and took it out tomorrow when he met a scholar and asked him to explain it.
Of course, very few of the soldiers on duty were literate, so they began to read out loud so that the soldiers could hear.
Damn it!
Flood the city!
The people and soldiers in the city were advised to flee the city quickly. The Xiakou army gave half a month for the people to prepare. If they don't leave by then, the Xiakou army will divert water and flood the city.
Too cruel!
The Xiakou Army wants to destroy Pengcheng!
"It doesn't count. Didn't the Xiakou Army tell the people and soldiers in the city in advance? If they didn't notify them,
There is a surprise attack, what will we do then? The Xiakou Army is worthy of being a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and the protector of the people."
One soldier shook his head.
The next day.
There was a lot of discussion throughout the city, and even the soldiers standing on the city wall were whispering.
Guan Erye didn't notice the problem at first, but later he heard the soldiers talking and asked the soldiers to ask.
After learning that a lot of letters had been sent in by Xiakou Jun last night, Mr. Guan suddenly became nervous and quickly asked someone to find a copy.
The second master looked at it and thought it was terrible.
brush!
The next moment, the second master rode towards the city lord's mansion on horseback.
"Brother, it's not good! The despicable and shameless Xiakou Army sent a lot of letters out of the city last night. The people and soldiers in the whole city were talking about it."
Guan Erye said.
Liu Bei snatched the letter from the second master's hand and looked at it carefully, his back feeling cold.
"Second brother, quickly send troops and horses to collect the letters in the city. We must collect these deceptive letters.
We cannot allow it to be spread unscrupulously, as this is very detrimental to us."
Liu Bei said.
"Brother, it's probably too late. The Xiakou Army chose to shoot into the city at night in order to disturb the morale of the army.
At this time, many people and soldiers in the city already know the contents of the letter, so confiscating the letter does not seem to have much effect."
Second Master said.
Bang!
The door of the room was knocked open, and Mr. Zhang hurriedly rushed in. The sound came before the person arrived.
"Brother, it's bad! It's really bad! That Lu Su from the Xiakou Army is really despicable and shameless, and he would use such a dirty trick."
Zhang Sanye said.
Seeing that his two brothers seemed not to take it seriously and looked at him stupidly, Mr. Zhang felt a little confused.
What's going on!
"Third brother, we understand this matter. How should we deal with it? We can't let the morale of the people and soldiers be affected."
Liu Bei said.
"Brother, can the Xiakou Army really divert water to flood the city?"
Zhang Sanye said.
"It's hard to say. If it were Qin Qi, he would never do such a thing. It's hard to say for Lu Su. After all, we don't know his character."
Liu Bei said.
"Brother, why wouldn't Qin Qi do anything to flood the city?"
Second Master said.
"Second brother, Qin Qi's reputation for benevolence and righteousness resounds throughout the sky, and is known to everyone in the world.
How could such a scandalous incident happen? However, the officials under Qin Qi are not affected by this.
When the time comes, Qin Qi will push three, two, and five, what can the world say?"
Liu Bei said.
"What should we do? Shouldn't we collect the letters?"
Zhang Sanye said.
"No! We still need to send soldiers to collect the letters from the people. We cannot let the people and soldiers continue to spread them."
Liu Bei said.
Boom, boom, boom!
"Master Liu, Master Tao Qian from Xiapi City sent someone to deliver a message."
Send orders to soldiers.
"Please come in."
Liu Bei said.
"I have met Mr. Liu. This is a letter from Mr. Tao. I will leave first."
Send a message to humanity.
Liu Bei received the letter, and Tao Qian told Liu Bei that Yuan Shu's reinforcements had arrived at Xiaopei and would immediately reinforce Pengcheng, leaving Liu Bei to defend the city.
"Brother, what did Mr. Tao say in his letter?"
Second Master said.
"Master Tao said that Yuan Shu's 50,000 reinforcements have arrived at Xiaopei and will come to rescue Pengcheng soon."
Liu Bei said.
"Brother, our Pengcheng is stable. With the reinforcement of Yuan Shu's 50,000-strong army, Pengcheng's Xiakou army cannot attack it no matter what."
Mr. Zhang shouted.
Liu Bei shook his head.
"Third brother, on this plain, if the Xiakou army blocks Yuan Shu's 50,000-strong reinforcement army, what should we do then?"
Liu Bei said.
