Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 611 The strategy is being implemented

Zhu Wei, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei finally agreed with Zhu Wei's strategy, and also made a plan for Cao Cao to contact Lv Bu's counselor Chen Deng to use the strategy.

However, in order to cooperate with this strategy, Zhu Wei and Cao Cao also need to cooperate with acting, so that Lu Bu and Yuan Shu can believe that they can find an opportunity. Therefore, under the planning of Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and Jia Xu here, it can be regarded as a fake show. planning.

At present, this meeting can be regarded as the meeting of the three overlords that can be recorded in history, er, maybe not necessarily, anyway, Liu Bei is in today's world, I am afraid that it is impossible to have any future emperor's order.

Well, anyway, the three-party meeting ended. In the eyes of outsiders, Zhu Wei and Cao Cao led the troops away angrily, and Liu Bei seemed to be angry and led the troops back to the camp. This time, the three-party meeting did not seem to have any good results.

Later, words came out from Cao Cao's side, saying that Zhu Wei secretly informed Lv Bu, he was really half-hearted, and he was not enough to deal with the coalition forces. In spring, you can get Shouchun City.

And Zhu Wei also spread the words on purpose. Cao Cao used the power of the emperor to oppress others, intending to use others as pawns to steal the fruits of victory by himself. With one's own strength, one can attack Shouchun or something like that.

However, it seemed that it was also because of the struggle between Zhu Wei and Cao Cao that after the two parties returned, they both launched a wave of fierce offensives against Shouchun City.

Cao Cao finally filled up the moat outside the north gate of Shouchun City, and then sent troops to storm the Wengcheng outside the north gate of Shouchun City. Zhu Wei launched an arrow tower and thunderbolt catapults to attack the city. Waiting for the siege equipment, they also shot randomly at the south gate of Shouchun.

Zhu Wei even threw in a lot of letters in the direction of the south gate of Shouchun City, wrapped in brocade with gravel, which read, "The army in the south of the Yangtze River will break through Shouchun in seven days. If the soldiers and civilians in the city want to survive, they can climb the city to survive." "This kind of text seems to have the meaning of persuading the soldiers and civilians in Shouchun City to surrender and let them climb the wall to escape for their lives.

And Zhang Xun, Yuan Shu's general guarding the south gate of Shouchun, naturally asked his soldiers to gather up this brocade handkerchief one after another, so that it should not be spread easily.

But Zhang Xun couldn't help but feel a little bit moved by Zhu Wei's words that the birthday will be broken in seven days. He thought that Zhu Wei would not say such words for no reason, so Zhu Wei should have a certain reason It is certain that Shouchun City can be captured within seven days.

In fact, seeing the anti-arrow fortifications built by Zhu Wei's army under the south gate wall of Shouchun City, and seeing that Zhu Wei's army did not attack the city with all its strength, Zhang Xun also guessed that Zhu Wei's army was probably digging the city. It is not possible to dig through the city wall within seven days.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xun also panicked, so he reported the news to Yuan Shu immediately, and then accelerated the construction of the second line of defense inside the city wall.

But in a hurry, how could it be possible to construct a defense line comparable to a city wall.

This had to make Zhang Xun think about how to lead his troops in the area of ​​Shouchun South City to resist the attack of Zhu Wei's army and start street fighting tactics with Zhu Wei's army if the south wall of the city was breached by Zhu Wei's army.

But just as Zhu Wei, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei had expected in the discussion among the three parties, Zhu Wei's threat to the south gate of Shouchun City had already made Yuan Shu feel a little panicked.

Yuan Shu relied on the strength of Shouchun City to stand firm in the city, but now that Shouchun City can't stop the invasion of Zhu Wei's army, how could Yuan Shu dare to live in death.

Yuan Shu's counselor, Yang Hong, also seemed to be a little greedy for life and fear of death, persuading Yuan Shu to leave a few generals to defend the city, and to break out somewhere to escape from the encirclement of Zhu Wei, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei.

According to Yang Hong, the emperor does not live in dangerous places, and the safety of the emperor is the most critical.

In this way, Yuan Shu was indeed somewhat moved by Yang Hong, but the problem was that Yuan Shu couldn't find a place to escape for a while.

At the same time, when Zhu Wei and Cao Cao pretended to strengthen their siege efforts, Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's two armies built two adjacent military strongholds on the outskirts of Lv Bu's stronghold, which seemed to indicate some mutual defense.

The soldiers of the two armies were instructed by the upper echelons of both sides, and there were often voices of scolding, as if both sides were accusing the other of being untrustworthy and unwilling to launch an attack on Lv Bu's army. Naturally, it would be difficult to jointly encircle Lv Bu's army.

This seems to have given Lu Bu a chance. Maybe they can take advantage of the discord between Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's armies to find opportunities to highlight the encirclement formed by the two armies.

Anyway, now, according to the strategy jointly determined by Zhu Wei, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei, the external environment that needs to be prepared has been arranged, and the next step is to see whether the internal specific strategy can be carried out smoothly.

It's just that in the process of waiting, Zhu Wei didn't know whether Cao Cao had contacted Chen Deng, whether Chen Deng had any suggestions on Lu Bu's side, and whether he had acted according to the plan.

But while Zhu Wei was waiting for the news, Liu Bei sent another envoy to Zhu Wei, and it was Mi Zhu who was the envoy.

This time Mi Zhu asked to see him, but the letter he sent said something about Xuzhou, so Zhu Wei asked Mi Zhu to meet him out of curiosity. As a result, Mi Zhu came to Zhu Wei's army tent and asked Zhu Wei on behalf of Liu Bei. Put forward the meaning of alliance against Cao Cao to seek Xuzhou.

It turned out that Liu Bei had already learned from Cao Cao that Cao Cao contacted Chen Deng and began to act according to the plan, but Liu Bei was a little worried about this matter.

Apparently Liu Bei was worried that after the success of this strategy, Shouchun and Yuan Shu would be wiped out, and Lu Bu would be killed again, then Cao Cao would very likely take advantage of Chen Deng's relationship in Xuzhou to take the opportunity to seek the land of Xuzhou.

Therefore, Mi Zhu came to Zhu Wei's side this time to show his favor to Zhu Wei on behalf of Liu Bei. He hoped that after the end of the Shouchun War, the two sides would form an alliance to prevent Cao Cao from entering Xuzhou.

According to Mi Zhu's original statement, he hoped that Zhu Wei could support Liu Bei to become the lord of Xuzhou again. At that time, Liu Bei was willing to cede Xiapi to Zhu Wei, and Liu Bei would own the three counties of Pengcheng, Xiaopei and Donghai.

At the same time, Liu Bei is willing to serve as Zhu Wei's forerunner against Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in Xuzhou. As long as the alliance between the two parties is good, they can also join hands to rescue the emperor from Xudu controlled by Cao Cao, and finally restore the Han Dynasty.

Zhu Wei naturally did not expect that Liu Bei would make such a request at this time. In fact, Zhu Wei had already planned to annex Xuzhou with the help of Chen Deng's relationship after solving Shouchun, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, trying to subdue the remaining Zhang Liao of Xuzhou and other old generals of Lu Bu.

After all, Chen Deng was originally on Zhu Wei's side. Although this time he was helping Cao Cao deal with Lu Bu and Yuan Shu on the surface, he was actually just using Cao Cao to solve the Shouchun War. Chen Deng would naturally abandon Cao Cao in the future and try his best to help Zhu Wei seek Xuzhou's...
