Chapter 405 Liu Bei left Runan City
This feeling, Liu Bei is not a disguise, but a real feeling! Seeing the pain on Liu Bei's face, Xu Shu comforted him and said, "Master, at that time, we can operate in a roundabout way. As long as the measures are right, it can not only protect the safety of the people, but also damage the image of the Lord. This practice is..."
When Liu Bei heard Xu Shu's suggestion, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the sadness and pain on his face were swept away. At this time, Pang Tong also gave Xu Shu a thumbs up with a smile!
At the suggestion of Xu Shu, Liu Bei commanded the army to execute the order of the state capital: go all out and work together to resist the invasion of Cao's army. Even in a possible sense, Liu Bei's side is also 100% invested: according to the conventional defense method, Liu Bei's side also designated the defense of Runan City 50 miles as a combat area to meet the enemy: what is the warning area, buffer zone, the battle area, and the defensive war zone. Liu Bei's side is also clearly and well-like.
Of course, in view of the huge disparity between the strength of the two sides, the war zone is almost negligible: at this time, only Zhang Fei is the super general under Liu Bei's command in the city, and the other two super generals, Guan Yu, are talking about the alliance in Youzhou, and Liao Hua is still escorting the team of skilled craftsmen in Nanyang County.
According to the advice of Xu Shu and Pang Tong, Liu Bei sent all the scouts and details to the guard area. The warning area is 50 miles away from the city. The first Cao army just arrived at the alert area, and the scouts and details reported the enemy to Liu Bei as soon as possible.
When he found the enemy situation, Liu Bei implemented the "strong wall and clear field" strategy step by step: Liu Bei ordered the people in the guard area to quickly leave their place of residence, and at the same time take away all the things he could bring, not even leaving chicken shit and shit to Cao Jun... As for the vicious tricks of poisoning and polluting water sources, Liu Bei did not implement. At first, the people who didn't know the truth still complained a little about Liu Bei, although Uncle Liu was usually friendly and kind to them, generous and benevolent. However, when 100,000 Cao troops rushed through the warning area, these people felt very lucky: it turned out that there were really enemies attacking Jingzhou...
Of course, they don't know: at this time, Cao's army is not Yuan Shao's army. At this time, Cao's army is disciplined and has no offense with the people. Otherwise, it violates military discipline and kills on the spot.
When Cao Jun entered the buffer zone, because the buffer zone was only ten miles away from Runan City, ordinary people at the commanding heights in the city could also see the dust floating in the northern sky and frightened birds and beasts. Can the movement of more than 100,000 troops be small?
Therefore, the highly valued celebrities in the city could not calm down, and they met Liu Bei together. In the face of the questions of celebrities, Liu Bei answered truthfully: Some time ago, Cao Cao ordered the senior management of Jingzhou to surrender his father's enemy Zhang Wei, and Zhang Wei himself heard the news and escaped from Jingzhou. Because Jingzhou could not pay off the enemy Cao Cao wanted, Cao Cao, who was so angry, led 400,000 troops to attack Jingzhou! Since then, Runan City has become the first battlefield to stop the Cao army...
As soon as those celebrities heard that Cao Cao personally led 400,000 troops to attack Jingzhou, they were so scared that they fainted immediately. Those who did not faint were also pale and trembled all over. On that day, one-third of the celebrities fled out of the city with their families.
The next evening, Cao Cao led his army to Runan. Some celebrities followed Liu Bei to the gate tower to watch the enemy. At that time, not only those celebrities, but also Liu Bei himself was so scared that his face changed greatly: the original empty northern suburbs of the city gathered at least 200,000 Cao troops at this time. Dust and smoke are rolling, and the brocade flags are fluttered, like super generals Zhang Liao, Daxiahou, Xu Huang, Cao Zhang and other generals leading the second battalion to the front of the Cao army: from generals to soldiers, they are like static statues; and behind them are the soldiers who are camping.
Outside the city, Cao Jun was busy and hot. In the city, Liu Bei took celebrities like bereaved dogs to Liu Bei's official residence. In the face of Cao Jun, who has a good morale, Liu Bei can't talk about whether he can defeat it at all, but how long he can rely on the city to support it.
When a suzerain asked Liu Bei this question, Liu Bei replied with a guilty face, "Everyone, to tell you the truth, the senior management of Jingzhou will not send reinforcements to support us at this time. At this time, you can also see that Cao's army has 200,000 horses, and we only have nearly 10,000 defenders... And Cao's army has a powerful and domineering continuous stone thrower, and the wall of Runan City is only seven meters high. In this way, even if we resist desperately, it is estimated that it can last for a day at most..."
Liu Bei talked about the military situation and could predict the result, while those celebrities thought of the scene of Cao's army slaughtering the city after the city was broken. Patriarch Zhang, who has always been close to Liu Bei, said to Liu Bei in a trembling voice, "Uncle Liu, the situation of defending the city is so serious, how about we abandoning the city? ..."
Only half of Master Zhang's words were said, and Zhang Fei over there roared, "Master Zhang, what nonsense are you talking about?! Even if we can't beat Cao Jun, we will be defeated with dignity and dignity..."
"Third brother, don't make a bad one! Let Master Zhang finish his words!" Liu Bei stared at Zhang Fei and scolded him in a low voice. When Zhang Fei lowered his noble head, Master Zhang dared to continue: "Uncle Liu, our abandonment of the city is not to escape, but a reasonable transfer! Uncle Liu, Cao Cao led the army to invade Jingzhou this time. His intention was obvious: it was not to occupy Runan City, but to completely defeat the Liu's forces in Jingzhou... Liu Brown, the state pastor, did not send a soldier and a general to reinforce us, nor did he give him food and fodder. Why should we work for him? Just let Cao Cao go directly to Linzhou City, and let Liu Brown deal with Cao Cao by himself..."
After listening to the words of Patriarch Zhang, Liu Bei's face was confused at first, and then his expression became more and more calm and resolute. Finally, he turned his eyes to Xu Shu and Pang Tong, who also nodded cautiously to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei turned his face to Lord Zhang. At this time, all the celebrities present were looking at Liu Bei eagerly. After a gentle cough, Liu Bei said slowly to the crowd, "Guys, after careful consideration, I suddenly feel that Master Zhang's suggestion is reasonable, but it is not legal. In order to protect Runan City from the war and for the benefit of all the people, I will voluntarily assume illegal responsibilities... I will decide: lead the army to withdraw from the city! You will hand over the city to Cao Cao. It is estimated that Cao Cao at this time should not embarrass you too much..."
When everyone heard Liu Bei's statement, they were relieved, with complex emotions such as gratitude, relaxation and guilt on their faces.
After a roundabout turn, in the game between Liu Bei and celebrities, the result of Xu Shu's expectations was finally reached: the celebrities put forward the proposal for Liu Bei to withdraw the army, rather than Liu Bei himself to abandon the city... This is the strategy Xu Shu planned for Liu Bei: that is, to achieve the goal. At the same time, it does not damage Liu Bei's image!
That night, in the grateful farewell of the celebrities, Liu Bei led his army to leave Runan City. The next day, Cao Cao climbed a 15-meter-high earth platform. Looking from afar, he only saw Runan City in his sight, which was silent. On the wall, there were only volunteers trained by local clans.
The city defense of Runan City is very shabby. Not to mention that there is not even an ordinary stone thrower on the aisle of the city wall, even the rolling stone is also placed sporadically. Under the seven-meter-high wall, there are no facilities such as sharp wooden pile arrays, trenches, and anti-horse arrays to stop the enemy's attack.
The shallow moat can only reach the knees. In a word, the city defense of Runan City is useless and is not a system at all! In contrast, Cao Jun: 10,000 shield soldiers are divided into four camps, led by Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang Ji and Da Xia Hou. Behind the shield camp is the stone-throwing machine camp, 20,000 stone-throwing machines, and nearly 100,000 generals are led by Cao Zhang; behind the stone-throwing machine camp are Cao soldiers carrying various siege equipment...
At this time, when the celebrities guarding the city saw Cao Cao's orderly formation, they intuitively came to their faces. At this time, they felt that it was too wise to let Liu Bei lead the army to leave Runan City! Therefore, when Cao Cao of the earth platform shang waved the flag to command the attack of the army, the shield battalion reached the moat, and a white flag fluttered from the gate tower of Runan City.
The two armies fought, and one side raised the white flag, which means giving up resistance and surrendering to the opponent. When Cao Cao saw that the other party had surrendered, he ordered to stop the attack.
The current Cao Cao Cao is not the former Cao Cao. It is difficult for Cao Cao Cao to find happiness in the past. Now Cao Cao's happiness point is very low. Just like now, after winning the first battle, he won the little Runan City, and he laughed happily. At this time, Jia Xu, the military advisor behind him, bowed down and whispered to him, "King of Wei, it's really eye-opening that Liu Bei can actually abandon the city... King of Wei, Liu Bei is not such a bold role. Now that he can make such a feat, it only shows that he has a super counselor around him!" .
"Super counselor?!" Cao Cao's heart was blocked and his face changed slightly. Cao Cao's side is also planting elaborate works in the territory of various princes. According to the information obtained from the detailed works of the Jiangdong boundary, today's face master Xu Shao recently asserted that in the future, the world will become the situation of the Three Kingdoms, and what contributes to this situation is the result of the planning and confrontation between the four super counselors! These four super counselors are not famous at this time, but their talents and talents are absolutely no less than Jia Xu and Guo Jia, the poisoner in the world!
After Cao Cao got the news, he sent people everywhere to look for the traces of the four super counselors. The result was naturally futile. Cao Cao himself knew that he had nothing to do with the strength and reputation he had, but needed luck to encounter with such super counselors.
Now, Liu Bei is in the head of good luck. He is surrounded by the assistance of super counselors, which makes Cao Cao envious and jealous! If he knew that there were three super counselors assisting Liu Bei at this time, he would be dizzy on the spot. If he knew again, almost all three counselors took the initiative to send Liu Bei's door. It is estimated that Cao Cao directly flew up!
He sent people everywhere to look for the whereabouts of the super counselor, and Liu Bei was almost waiting for the rabbit, and he was suddenly assisted by three super counselors. People compare with others. It's really annoying.
