"Please report back to the Prime Minister, sir, and let the Prime Minister rest assured that I will definitely take Lujiang City back in the next few days." Hearing these words, Bai Ren immediately relaxed his nervous heart, then patted his chest, and said in a heavy tone Said.

"It's best for the general to say that. Then I'm going back to report!" Cheng Yu replied to Bai Ren calmly after hearing what Bai Ren said, and turned around to leave the place.

"I'll see you off!" After all, the other party is Cao Cao's confidant, and Bai Ren didn't dare to be careless, so he hurried out to see him off.

"Oh! That's right! There is one more thing I almost forgot." Just as Bai Ren was about to send Cheng Yu out of the city gate, Cheng Yu suddenly turned around and looked at Bai Ren beside him with a calm expression, his tone indifferent said to him.

At this time, Bai Ren was slightly complaining in his heart, why did this man keep leaving a sentence when he said something? It's really annoying, but he didn't dare to say it directly, so he looked at Cheng Yu in front of him calmly and asked, "I don't know if there is anything else you can order, sir? "

Cheng Yu looked at Bai Ren at the side, took out a letter from his sleeve, and replied to Bai Ren in a calm tone: "Before I came here, Madam Ling specially wrote a letter, Let me bring it here, if you hadn't come out of the city to see me off, I would have almost forgotten about it."

"Really?!" Bai Ren looked at Cheng Yu in front of him, and a black line began to appear on his forehead. He could be sure that this guy must have done it on purpose, so he reluctantly took the letter in Cheng Yu's hand, with a calm expression on his face. looking at the guy in front of him.

"Then I'm leaving, Zifu, don't forget the prime minister's entrustment, and take Lujiang City back as soon as possible." Cheng Yu came to the door, looked back at Bai Ren who was standing at the gate, said in a serious tone, and went straight up The carriage left Shouchun City slowly.

Seeing Cheng Yu leaving in the carriage, Bai Ren showed a wry smile helplessly, then silently opened the letter in his hand, looking at the letter in his hand, a gratified smile appeared on the corner of Bai Ren's mouth.

"I dreamed of a goosebow and got pregnant! It seems that this is a very auspicious omen! It seems that the child in Mi'er's womb will definitely become a generation different from ordinary people in the future!" Bai Ren silently closed the letter in his hand. Standing up, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he looked at the sky calmly, and said in a muttering tone.

"It looks like we should go back and discuss how to attack Lujiang." Seeing that it was still early in the day, Bai Ren stroked his beard and said calmly.

Chapter 761 What You Can't Do

"Now the Prime Minister has ordered us to seize Lujiang City as soon as possible! Now I heard that there are nearly ten thousand soldiers in Lujiang City, and there are strong generals Zhou Tai and Ding Feng guarding it. Do you have a way to break through Lujiang?" Bai Ren sat on his desk. Looking at Wenwu under his command, he spoke to them calmly.

"Your Majesty, why don't you surprise Lujiang in the middle of the night, what do you think?" At this time, Cao Zhen stood up from his seat with a heavy complexion, and then said to Bai Ren in front of him with a serious tone.

"Do you think such a plan is feasible?" Bai Ren didn't affirm or deny it directly, but turned his gaze to the generals around him, and asked them calmly.

I saw Zhang Liao standing up from his seat, looking calmly at Cao Zhen in the distance, finally hesitated, and said in a hoarse tone: "I heard that the walls of Lujiang City are very tall, and our army There are not many infantry under our command, and the rest are brave cavalry, and cavalry are not good at attacking the city, even if we go to raid the city late at night, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through the city, and we will be in a disadvantageous situation instead.”

"I think so too? After all, all that is left in our army is some cavalry units, and those Soochow soldiers who surrendered are still in training, and they still can't take them to the battlefield." Zhang Yun stood aside from his seat at this time. The superior stood up and added to Zhang Liao in a somewhat calm tone.

Think back to the time when Sun Quan brought his soldiers to attack, but was finally defeated by Bai Ren who had already calculated. Among them, there were [-] prisoners of Soochow soldiers, who were finally handed over to Zhang Yun by Bai Ren for training. Surrendered, but Bai Ren didn't dare to use them on the battlefield.

It would be fine if these soldiers fled suddenly on the battlefield, but it would be a disaster for Bai Ren if they turned on the battlefield, so these soldiers can only be trained to defend the city for the time being, and cannot be used to attack the city.

"If you don't attack the city, then you can take back Lujiang City!" Cao Xiu, who was sitting beside Cao Zhen, looked at Cao Zhen's deflated look, stood up immediately, and said to Zhang Liao and Zhang Yun in a somewhat unconvinced tone.

Zhang Liao, Zhang Yun and others heard this, they all calmed down silently, and then silently looked at Bai Ren who was sitting in the main seat.

"Don't look at me. I don't have anything to do now. If I had a way, I wouldn't wait here." Bai Ren saw the way everyone looked at him, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Said in a calm tone, then silently looked at the height of the sun rising outside the room, at this time, that guy should be back.

Following Bai Ren's words, the whole room became completely silent, and everyone lowered their heads silently, thinking about how to break through Lujiang City.

Not long after, I saw that Liu Wei rushed back from the outside with a heavy complexion, looking a little disheveled.

"How is it? Can Lujiang City be entered through tunnels?" Bai Ren looked at Liu Wei who had hurried back, and asked him with a hoarse expression. It turned out that Bai Ren ordered Liu Wei to go to investigate the terrain early in the morning. , See if you can break through the Lujiang River by digging tunnels.

"The subordinates are incompetent. This Lujiang City seems to be on guard. There are soldiers patrolling around here, and there is no chance to dig tunnels nearby." Liu Wei looked at the front with a helpless expression at this time. Bai Ren said with some emotion in his tone.

Bai Ren was also a little helpless. After all, it was his apprentice who guarded Lujiang City. He was very clear about the crooked way he was using now, so he would naturally send his soldiers to be more careful. No wonder Liu Wei didn't find a place to dig a tunnel. .

"I don't blame you for this matter. You go down first and take your soldiers to rest." Bai Ren looked at Liu Wei with a somewhat ashamed expression on his face, and said to Liu Wei in a soft tone, then looked at Liu Wei calmly. Outside.

Liu Wei looked at Bai Ren with a slight smile, listened to the comforting words, and left the room silently.

When Zhang Liao and Zhang Xi got such news at this time, their expressions became heavy.Zhang Liao looked helplessly at Bai Ren who was sitting on the main seat, and said with some emotion in his tone: "It seems that this method of entering the ground doesn't work."

"That's right!" Zhang He also touched his beard at this time, and said with some emotion in his tone.

"Into the ground? To the ground? Go to the sky and enter the ground?" Bai Ren listened to the words of Zhang Liao and Zhang Yun in front of him, and saw the heavy faces of the generals around him, and suddenly had a thought in his mind.

"Now I have a way to capture Lujiang, but this method still needs to be tested!" Bai Ren suddenly thought of a method in his mind at this time, and said with a heavy tone.

When the generals around heard Bai Ren's words, they all looked at the white man with a puzzled look on his face, not knowing what method Bai Ren was thinking of.

Bai Ren stroked his beard, looked at Zhang Liao with calm eyes, and asked Zhang Liao in a heavy tone, "Are there any cowhide for tents in the army?"

"Yes, there are many more." Zhang Liao replied to Bai Ren in front of him with a serious expression after hearing Bai Ren's words.

"You all go back now, Wen Yuan, you go with me to the best blacksmith and carpenter in the city." Bai Ren looked a little heavy at this time, looking at the curious civil and military around him, and finally said in a hoarse voice Said.

Looking at the situation in front of them, the surrounding civil and martial arts all looked at Bai Ren curiously, but seeing Bai Ren's mysterious appearance, everyone sighed helplessly and left quietly.

"Let's go!" Bai Ren stood up and looked at Zhang Liao who was waiting at the side, and said in a soft tone, then walked outside with Zhang Liao behind him.

In the blacksmith's shop, as the best blacksmith in the city, seeing the general Bai Ren in the city come outside his blacksmith with Zhang Liao and a group of guards behind him, he suddenly became a little panicked.

"Blacksmith Li! I heard that you are the best blacksmith in the city. I have something here that I need you to build! Can you help me?" Bai Ren looked at the panicked Blacksmith Li with a soft tone. Said.

Li Tiejiang looked at Bai Ren in front of him and knew that he was the highest ruler in this city.Looking at Bai Ren in front of him with some fear in his heart, he said to Bai Ren with a cautious tone: "I don't know what magic weapon the general wants to build, the little old man will naturally do his best to build it!"

"Wen Yuan, come here with a pen and paper, you build me something like this!" Bai Ren took the pen and paper from Zhang Liao's hand beside him, and explained to Li Tiejiang what he wanted to build while drawing under the watchful eyes of Li Tiejiang. thing.

Blacksmith Li understood what General Bai was going to make when he heard the general Bai in front of him who was drawing and talking, and then said in a respectful tone: "The little old man already knows what the general needs to make, but this Things look a bit time-consuming, I'm afraid it will take a few days!"

"You can build it if it's nothing. You must build this thing for me." Bai Ren was relieved when he heard what Blacksmith Li said in front of him, and then said calmly, and took out the box from his sleeve. A string of five-bead money, and then handed it over.

"Thank you, General!" Seeing the five baht coins handed over, blacksmith Li showed a smile on his face at this time, carefully took the string of five baht coins from Bai Ren's hand, and then replied in a somewhat respectful tone .

"Let's go! Let's go to the carpenter's place." Bai Ren looked a little surprised at Zhang Liao and the guards, and Bai Ren said softly.

In the following time, Zhang Liao and the guards behind followed him in surprise. At this time, they also realized how versatile Bai Ren was, as if he could do a little bit of everything.

"You're done. When the time comes, you can mend all the cowhide for me to make it look like a big ball, and then leak a small hole like a pot at the bottom." Bai Ren looked at the soldier who handed over the cowhide to a craftsman , looking at the craftsman gesticulating and pointing to the craftsman, seeing that the work was almost completed, a smile appeared on the corner of Bai Ren's mouth.

"Junhou, what else do you not know?" At this moment, Zhang Liao looked at Bai Ren in surprise, and asked in a doubtful tone.

"Have a baby!" Bai Ren replied calmly.

Chapter 762 Flying to the City

After three days, Bai Ren brought his generals to an open space outside the city. Looking at the four or five meter high hot air balloon above the open space outside the city, everyone's expressions became slightly surprised.

"What is this?" The generals under his command whispered to each other, talking about this huge monster placed on the construction site, but they didn't know what it was for.

There was a smile on the corner of Bai Ren's mouth, this thing is an artifact from heaven, but now he is not sure that he can control this thing.So at this time he had an idea and ordered a pig to go to the sky first.

That's right, it was a pig. At Bai Ren's order, a soldier stuffed a pig into the basket under the hot air balloon. This basket could hold five or six people.

Then, under the eyes of everyone, Bai Ren slowly lit the iron stove under the hot air balloon.

"What is this doing?" At this moment, the people around had never seen a hot air balloon, and they looked at Bai Ren with some surprise, not knowing what he was going to do.

As the fire was slowly ignited, the hot air balloon below began to expand with the heat, and finally flew slowly into the sky.

"Did you see it? It's flying, it's flying." The people around said with a heavy expression when they saw this situation.
