Han counter current

For several days in a row, Cheng Yu saw through the corresponding schemes that Gongsun Xu used. The city was not captured, but the defenders in the city laughed for several days.

"It's a joke that a mere thief dares to take over my city. It seems that Feng Xiao also makes mistakes. How can this kind of thing fight against me."

These days, Cheng Yu gave full play to his talents, no matter whether the enemy came to attack or swindle the city, they could not escape his eyes.

"Report, military division, the enemy seems to be no longer besieging the city."

"Oh, heh, after several setbacks, of course I know that I can't take the city. Where is the enemy now?"

"It seems, it seems to be going to attack other families outside the city."

"This,,,,,,"

There are not many garrison troops left by Chen. Although this is a transfer station for food and grass, it is also the hinterland, so there is generally no danger.

Three thousand defenders, these days, were attacked for escorting the train and transporting food and grass out of the city, so that hundreds of people were lost.

For the rest, Cheng Yu dared not move, after all, the city is the most important.However, right now, the aristocratic families outside the city are being attacked, if he doesn't put on a show, he might be cast aside.

"Stick to the city. In addition, send someone to inform those families, and tell them to stick to it and wait for help, don't give up."

After a long time, Cheng Yu just nodded slightly and said this sentence, and then he didn't express anything else, it seemed that he had done enough for the aristocratic families outside the city.

Five days later, more and more people approached Chenliu City. After careful inquiry, they found out that these people were all members of aristocratic families outside the city.

Under the command of Gongsun Xu, these great families were all attacked. Then, Gongsun Xu did not kill a large number of people. After robbing the other party's property, he set fire to all the houses, and then drove these people away.

"This, the enemy general did this on purpose. Now, the aristocratic family outside the city has a grudge against the lord."

I thought we could use the enemy's hand to weaken the strength of the families outside the city, but who knows, the enemy will be even more crazed. After robbing property, they will burn houses and destroy fields, and will not let these families stay where they are.

Without the foundation of survival, these aristocratic families can only move closer to Chen Liu. After all, they have contributed food and grass in Cao Cao's previous battles. This time they have suffered, and Cao Cao can't ignore them.

"Military division, according to reports from the sergeant, these people seem to have a lot of resentment towards you."

The general who defended the city was in charge of settling the refugees. He was just a minor general. Many of these refugees were of high status, and he couldn't afford to offend them. After all, the aristocratic families in the city had a close relationship with these refugees.

"I have already expected it. Hey, let them go. At the critical moment, there must be no more trouble. Where is the enemy army now?"

"After looting the aristocratic family, the enemy army left with all the loot. Our spies have been following for fifty miles. According to the itinerary, the enemy army is about to leave Chenliu."

"Hmph, the cavalry in the north are indeed on par with the barbarians on the grassland. They loot the people and burn down the houses. They are no different from the barbarians."

Gongsun Xu's side really left with great fanfare. It seemed that Chen Liucheng was difficult to capture, so he had no choice but to give up.

In the evening, in Chenliu City, those refugees hadn't rested yet, because most of them were arranged to rest in simple tents, which made them very dissatisfied, so, under the instigation of those who cared, the protest began.

At the beginning, it was just a verbal dispute, but later, someone started to make a move, and then, whoever was not careful, accidentally set fire to the tent, making these refugees even more panicked.

"Hurry up and put out the fire. These refugees are really worrying. Also, keep an eye on the north gate. Although the enemy has already left, you still have to be careful."

"No, this subordinate will do it now."

There are not many defenders in the city, except for the guards at the four gates and the soldiers in charge of security in the city, there are only a few soldiers and horses left as a reserve team.

Therefore, Cheng Yu can only choose to strengthen the defense of the north gate. After all, in the middle of the night, you have to let some soldiers rest.

"Report, military division, the fire is too big and out of control. Many refugees were burned to death. The situation is a bit chaotic now."

"Reporter, military advisor, the patriarchs of the noble families among the refugees demanded a better shelter, and the noble families in the city also started to protest."

"Report, there are too many military divisions and refugees, and more soldiers must be dispatched to deter them."

,,,,,,

A series of reports made Cheng Yu feel a little abnormal. These refugees came by coincidence, and the incidents that happened were really not small.

"Forget it, the old man should come forward in person, lest these aristocratic families get caught, and it will be harmful to the lord in the future."

In the final analysis, this era is still the era of great families, especially for Cao Cao to control the Central Plains, he must get the approval of these great families.

Therefore, even if Cheng Yu disdained it, even if those noble families outside the city had become refugees, he had to come forward to appease them, after all, the noble families inside the city were all watching.

"Everyone, everyone, please be quiet, I will send someone to arrange your accommodation now, don't panic, the fire will be brought under control..."

"Why should we trust you? If you hadn't arranged us here, so many people wouldn't have been burned to death."

"Yeah, how do you do things, how can you treat us like this."

,,,,,,

Everyone spoke together, but Cheng Yu couldn't explain it. It seemed that everyone was very angry.

"Report, military division, it's not good, an unknown person opened the east gate, and the enemy army rushed in through the east gate."

"What, Dongmen? Not good, this is a trick of the enemy army. Quick, go to support Dongmen immediately."

Cheng Yu was about to command his subordinates to fight, but the faces of the aristocratic families on the opposite side were even worse.

"Oh, the enemy army has come in, run away,,,,,,"

"Cheng Yu, what do you do? Run, if you are caught by those people again, you will die..."

The scattered crowd quickly made the situation even more chaotic. Even if Cheng Yu's personal guards killed several people, they couldn't control it.

"Good strategy. I was deliberately deceived a few days ago. It seems that the enemy army is well prepared."

Cheng Yu was unable to organize an effective resistance, so he had to make some arrangements first, and then dispatched his subordinates to centrally control the North Gate and West Gate.

Not long after, as Gongsun Xu led a thousand cavalry to kill, Cheng Yu knew that the city could no longer be defended, so he had no choice but to retreat with two thousand men.

"Chen Liu, hmph, I won it."

On the city wall, Gongsun Xu looked excited. Of course, Cheng Yu was a formidable opponent, but when it came to military and quick wits, Cheng Yu was not the director. In addition to the sudden incident last night, it was only natural for Cheng Yu to retreat.

"Come here, send a battle report to the military division, saying that our army has captured Chen Liu..."

As the first general to go south to the Central Plains and win a city in the Central Plains, Gongsun Xu felt very honored. This time, he finally proved his ability.

Chapter 466: Guo Jia’s Backhand 2

Wancheng, as the northern gateway of Jingzhou, has always been an important military base. Jingzhou has been attacking the city for half a month. The defenders in the city suffered heavy casualties.

"General, the enemy army attacked day and night, and our army suffered heavy casualties. Now, there are no more than 6000 fighters in the upper city."

On the tower, Yu Jin's lieutenant general reported the casualties to him. With such a passive defense, even with the advantage of the city, the casualties are still not small.

There is no way, the Jingzhou army is good at siege warfare, and they are well prepared, and all kinds of equipment take turns to go into battle, the defenders are naturally miserable.
