"Gushi and Anfeng have already been lost!" Xu Shu frowned as he read the report. After Gushi and Anfeng were lost, Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu could use Gushi as their base. They could attack Shouchun from the east and threaten Lujiang from the south. Although these two cities were only small cities, they were now like two nails in Yangzhou. If Gushi and Anfeng were not lost, they would have to fight in the field. But now, it seemed like there would be a siege battle.
"Investigate again! Also, tell General Deng Yi to defend Lujiang to the death. He is not allowed to fight! " Xu Shu once again issued a military order. Hefei could be lost but Lujiang must not be lost. This was because there were many shipyards in Lujiang.
"When will Wen Hou's reinforcements arrive?" Xu Shu asked the official in charge of Lujiang.
"I don't know. Military Advisor Chen Gong sent a letter saying that Jiangdong's Sun Ce is eyeing Lujiang covetously on the Yangtze River. Lujiang's provisions are not enough, but they will arrive as soon as possible." The official replied.
"Jiangdong's Sun Ce!" Xu Shu was having a headache. There was one more warlord. Now, it was almost three warlords attacking Lujiang. Sun Ce was looming on the Yangtze River. He had also brought out the thirty thousand navy that was guarding Huiji Jianye. It could be said that Sun Cejun had the upper hand on the Yangtze River.
In Jiang Xia, Zhuge Liang was avoiding the battle. This was because he had no chance of winning against Jiangdong's Sun Ce. If they fought, both sides would suffer losses. Zhuge Liang wanted military power and not to help Jingzhou's Liu Biao. Therefore, Sanjiangkou and Jiang Xia were very calm recently. Sun Ce had also freed up his hands. In Lujiang, there were movements of Sun Ce's navy from time to time. Sun Ce had suffered a defeat in Wancheng City and the main force of Jingzhou's navy did not suffer any losses. According to reason, Sun Ce would not be able to land on Lujiang. However, it was better to be safe than sorry. Wancheng City's Zhang Xiu and Yuzhou's Liu Bei had already started to move. As for Jingzhou's Liu Biao, he might just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Once Sun Ce landed on Lujiang, he would be attacked from both sides.
Therefore, these few days, Lujiang's provisions were allocated to the garrison, Formation Breaker, and Chen Deng's Army. After all, Chen Gong and Lü Bu's plan was to abandon Shouchun. Without provisions, the reinforcements to Shouchun would not be able to move.
"How about this. Ask Yang Hong to help me arrange 100,000 people to send to Lujiang County!" Xu Shu was also a little bit unable to cook without rice. Without troops in his hands, it was difficult to resist the enemy outside the border. The only reinforcements were also held back by Sun Ce. Lujiang and Shouchun were Xu Shu's bottom line.
"100,000 people?" At this time, they should be comforting the people. Why would they send people?
"Just say that Lujiang County is undergoing construction. Don't tell the people that there is a war. Ask Yang Hong to allocate ten construction teams. Try to make them Shanyue's people!" Xu Shu pinned all his hopes on Liu Mang. Now, Xu Shu was ready to fight a protracted war. The people of Shanyue were basically very good at fighting. It could be said that everyone was a soldier. Once Liu Bei's Army and Zhang Xiu's Army reached there, there would be more than 20,000 people defending the city. With the help of 100,000 people, they could still hold on. As for the issue of provisions, Xu Shu did not think too much about it.
Gushi and Anfeng had been broken. Next would be Hefei and Lujiang. He hoped that these two cities could hold on for a while. Subconsciously, Xu Shu had forgotten about a small city called Guangzhou. It was no wonder that Xu Shu forgot about it. This was because Xu Shu only knew that there was a lieutenant in Guangzhou who only had a thousand people. In Guangzhou, Liu Mang had placed an asterisk on the map and not the symbol of an ally. This meant that Guangzhou was dispensable. Even Gushi and Anfeng had been broken. How long could a small Guangzhou last? It would have been broken long ago!
On this point, Xu Shu was wrong.
… …
Under Guangzhou, banners were raised everywhere. A total of 20,000 soldiers surrounded the small Guangzhou. There were also 20,000 Xiliang Cavalry on the side. It would be a lie to say that there was no pressure. On top of Guangzhou, Hao Shao's arms were trembling. He could not help but swallow his saliva. However, on the surface, Hao Shao was very calm. He was the commander of an army. If he was panicking, then there would be no way to fight this war. However, there was no way to fight this war now. How should he fight this war? Hao Shao smiled bitterly. He only had two thousand people. This was after Young Lord Liu Mang gave him a thousand people. Hao Shao relied on the provisions and gold to recruit them. Although Hao Shao had been training hard these past few months, the enemy outside was ten times more than him. Hao Shao finally had the same feeling as when Liu Mang was surrounded by Sun Ce in Wancheng City.
"People on top of the walls, listen up. I am Liu Pi, the Provincial Governor of Yuzhou under Emperor Liu. Today, I am under my lord's order to suppress the rebels. If you know what's good for you, quickly come down from the walls and open the gates. Let my army enter and I will spare your life. Otherwise, when the walls are broken, it will be the day of your death!" Liu Pi shouted from below. Subduing the enemy without fighting was the highest level of military strategy. Liu Pi was very proud. If Guangzhou surrendered because of his shout, then he would have a lot of face in front of his lord.
"Suppress the rebels? This place is under the rule of General Who Pacifies the East. Where did the rebels come from? My Young Lord is the Sage King of the Great Han. How can there be rebels? Quickly retreat! " Hao Shao was not scared. He had followed Lü Bu for a long time. It could be said that he had not seen many situations. Moreover, he was a member of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. If Hao Shao wanted to surrender like this, then they were looking down on him.
"General Who Pacifies the East? Hahahaha! " Liu Pi suddenly laughed arrogantly. He pointed his spear at Hao Shao and scolded. "Are you talking about that Slave of Three Surnames? Slave of Three Surnames is perverse. Now, it is time for my lord to punish him!"
Slave of Three Surnames? He was a member of the Wolf Cavalry. It can be said that Lu Bu was a god in his heart, their Wolf King. But now, someone actually dared to speak ill of the Wolf King. Hao Shao could not bear it. Lu Bu could be said to be his religion. If Hao Shao did not like to defend and not attack, he would not have left the Wolf Cavalry. Even if he left the Wolf Cavalry, he would not allow others to disrespect his lord. If the lord is disgraced, the subject will die. That was the meaning of the phrase, 'If the lord is humiliated, the subject will die'.
"Your lord! Is your lord Imperial Uncle Liu of the Great Han? Is it the Left General, Imperial Uncle Liu? "Hao Shao suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Liu Pi who he knew the answer to.
"What? Are you afraid after knowing my lord's name? Then why don't you quickly go down the wall and wait for my lord's punishment? "Liu Pi had an expression as if he had Hao Shao under his control. He was very arrogant.
"I am afraid. Of course I am afraid! Imperial Uncle Liu of the Great Han. His Majesty personally bestowed him the title of Left General. That ungrateful Imperial Uncle Liu who did not even look at his master when he was being escorted away. That treacherous Imperial Uncle Liu who seized Prime Minister Cao's Xuzhou. "Hao Shao had heard everything from Liu Mang. In order to disgust Liu Bei, Hao Shao even praised Cao Cao.
Ungrateful? Treacherous? No matter which of these two words was involved, it was very difficult to wash away. In this chaotic world, they would be spurned by others. Even people like Lü Bu knew about reputation, let alone Liu Bei.
Pang Tong looked at his lord. He did not understand the ungrateful one but he knew the treacherous one. This was because Cao Cao was very good to Liu Bei. Not only did he give Liu Bei military power, he also gave Lü Bu's Red Hare to Guan Yu. He also cleared Liu Bei's name and proved that he was a relative of the Han dynasty. However, who would have known that Liu Bei would sell out Cao Cao! Not only did he kill Che Wei and seize Qingzhou's military power, but he also occupied the entire Xu Province. Even if Liu Bei was unkind, but in this chaotic world, backstabbing was very normal. However, it was shameful today. It was just like how Lü Bu, Slave of Three Surnames, and Lao Cao killed Lü Boshe. These were all unspoken rules in this chaotic world. However, it was not fun to talk about it.
Zhang Xiu was also looking at Liu Bei. It was just like when Zhang Fei called Lü Bu a slave of three surnames. At that time, Lü Bu's face was burning. He was too embarrassed to face anyone. The reason why the three Peach Brothers could defeat Lü Bu was because Lü Bu was too ashamed to stay. Now, this scene was thrown to Liu Bei.
"Wah, Wah, Wah!" However, at that time, Liu Bei was also helpless. He was not the Yuan Shao or Cao Cao. It was easier to be an official in the imperial court. They could all scold the Ten Attendants and ignore them. However, once Liu Bei showed his face, the Ten Attendants did not even need to deal with him. Those officials who wanted to curry favor with the Ten Attendants would deal with Liu Bei and his two brothers. As for Cao Cao, Liu Bei's original plan was to use Cao Cao, the tiger, to drive Lü Bu, the wolf, out of Xuzhou. After that, Liu Bei would occupy Xuzhou. This plan was good in terms of strategy, but it was really shameful in terms of personal relationships. It was treacherous.
Liu Bei didn't know how to explain. Since he couldn't explain, then there was no need to explain. One had to know that Liu Bei had an ultimate move, which was to cry!
Benevolent Teacher! This is all Xuande's fault! This is all Xuande's fault! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! This is all Xuande's fault! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! Benevolent Teacher! I am prepared to bear the infamy and endure, but I do not wish to see the Great Han Dynasty destroyed in a single day. I do not wish to see the common people die in the flames of war. Benevolent teacher! "
"Milord! Milord, please stand up. This is not Milord's fault, but my fault as your subjects! Milord, for the sake of the Great Han Dynasty, for the sake of supporting the Han Dynasty, you have to endure humiliation and endure hardships. This is all due to the incompetence of us subjects. If the Lord is humiliated, the subjects will die. Let Shiyuan go down and apologize to Ziganggong! "Pang Tong was also a good actor.
"Shiyuan, you cannot, Shiyuan, you cannot! You are a hero of our Great Han Dynasty. Whether or not our Great Han Dynasty can be supported depends on Shiyuan. Let this unfilial disciple of mine go down and apologize to Benevolent Teacher! "
Liu Bei and Pang Tong echoed each other. If Hao Shao knew about Liu Bei's character from Liu Mang, then he would also be affected by Liu Bei. This big man's cry was too hurtful. Even Zhang Xiu was a bit moved. In order to support the Han Dynasty, he endured not seeing Benevolent Teacher. In order to support the Han Dynasty, he endured being cursed by the common people. This person was truly a loyal subject of the Great Han Dynasty.
"Milord, Military Advisor. See if I, Liu Pi, will not take the head of that child on the wall and restore Milord's name!" Liu Pi was originally Liu Pi's super brainless fan. When Liu Pi cried like this, Liu Pi's heart was broken. His face was filled with anger. He pointed his spear at Hao Shao and shouted: "Child, die!"
