"This..." Zhuge Liang looked embarrassed.

Cao Shuo smiled and said, "You should learn more from Jia Xu. It just so happens that there is a good opponent here who can hone you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for cultivating it!"

Zhuge Liang prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed to Cao Shuo a few times. Once he left Cao Shuo's side, it meant that he had left his teacher.

During the two years by Cao Shuo's side, he learned a lot from several great counselors, and also learned a lot of his worldview and overall situation from Cao Shuo.

In two months, I will be 15 years old. This is probably the youngest official in the state of Wei.

"Gan Luo is 13 years old, I am optimistic about you!"

Chapter 479

In She (shè) County, Danyang County, Wu State, Cheng Pu, Chen Wu, and Quan Cong looked at the map, looking for a suitable attack route.

Cheng Pu said: "She County is more than three hundred miles away from Jiande. If we want to avoid being discovered by the other party, we must pass at night."

Quan Cong suggested: "Jiande only has more than 1000 defenders, and we have 5000 troops in our hands. There is no need to act together. It is better for me and Chen Wu to lead [-] people each first, and the old general leads the army behind."

Cheng Pu thought for a while and said, "Then according to the general's intention, we will go forward for two hundred miles first, and then advance at night."

After the three discussed it, they let the soldiers board the ferry and killed Jiande in a mighty manner.

At ten o'clock in the evening, when the army arrived at the designated location, Chen Wu and Quan Cong abandoned the big boats and used small boats to sneak under Jiande City, and surrounded Jiande City with water.

In the early morning of the next day, the guard of Jiande looked at the army outside the city and panicked in his heart.

Hastily lit the beacon tower, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to prepare to defend against the enemy.

When Cheng Pu's army arrived, Chen Wu directly began to storm the city, and the city guarded by 1000 people was easily captured.

Chen Wu grabbed hold of the general defending the city and asked, "Are there any ambushes around?"

"No, General Dong Xi's army is stationed in Tonglu, and there are no Wei soldiers within a hundred miles."

Cheng Pu thought for a while, Dong Xi's army was only a hundred miles away from here, if they heard the news, they would reach the city in less than three hours.

Cheng Pu looked at Chen Wu, and asked hastily, "Did any soldiers flee during the siege?"

Chen Wu shook his head and said: "No, after we came, we surrounded this place."

With a thousand soldiers, how could it be possible to give them a chance to escape, but they have an army of [-] in hand.

"Chen Wu, you lead an army of [-] to Fuchun Mountain and build a camp to prevent the other party from attacking Jiande. We want to build a base here."

After Chen Wu took the order to leave, Cheng Pu looked at Quan Cong and said, "General Quan, you lead an army of [-] across the Zhejiang River to take the end!"

"promise!"

However, before Quan Cong could leave the chamber, a soldier ran over stumblingly, and at the same time Chen Wu also ran back.

"General Cheng, it's not good, all the ferries on the Zhejiang River have been destroyed."

"What?" Cheng Pu had a bad feeling.

He left [-] soldiers in the water village. If the other party could burn his own water village without anyone noticing, there must be a lot of people.

"Where did they come from?"

Chen Wu replied: "According to what the escaped soldiers said, it seems to come from the direction of Damo."

"Big end?"

Cheng Pu narrowed his eyes and said in surprise, "Could it be that the other party knew about our sneak attack? Deliberately planting heavy troops in the direction of Damo?"

Damo is in the south of Jiande, on Gushui, a tributary of Zheshui, and it takes two hundred miles to travel by water. The other party attacked them, and they must have set off early.

"Do you know how many people are there?"

"Thousands of warships!"

"Warship?" Cheng Pu's brows were twisted into twists, and it seemed that the other party was already prepared.

If the defenders of Damo found out their whereabouts and came here to support, there must be no warships, and the opponents planted an ambush here...

"Cut down trees and prepare to build ships!"

Cheng Pu felt that this place must not stay longer, otherwise he would be trapped to death in the city.

"Report, the Wei army has landed and surrounded our camp and Jiande City at the same time."

Everyone wiped off a cold sweat, how many troops will it take to surround them?

Quan Cong said: "General Cheng, we need to inform the guard of She County as soon as possible, and let him lead the reinforcements to send us the ferry, otherwise, we may not be able to leave."

Outside Jiande City, Wen Ji led two thousand Xuanjia troops, looked at Cheng Pu on the city wall and shouted: "You have been surrounded by one hundred thousand troops of our Wei State. Jiande City is surrounded by water on both sides and mountains to the west. Only The waterway and the Fuchun Mountains in the southwest can be walked.”

"General Dong Xi has already occupied the passage of Fuchun Mountain, and you have no ferry. If you want to leave, you have to fly there."

Chen Wu looked at Cheng Pu nervously, and asked, "General, what should we do?"

Even if they were able to repel the army outside the city, they would not be able to build many ferries in a short period of time, not to mention that the other party still had warships, and they would not be given a chance to cross the river at all.

"There are still 2 people in the camp outside the city. We must unite with them. Quan Cong defends the city. Chen Wu and I will lead an army of [-] people to fight out of the city."

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

Smoke billowed in the distance, shouts shook the sky, a large army rushed here, Cheng Pu roared: "We must not let the other party approach the city, let me kill them."

Most of Cheng Pu's soldiers were infantry, and they were incomparable with Wenji's cavalry.

Wen Ji looked at the soldiers of Wu who left the city, and shouted, "Shoot them to death!"

His 120 Xuanjia army had four quivers with a full [-] arrows in them, and they would never fight close if they didn't shoot out all the arrows.

"Puff puff!"

The crossbowmen on both sides fired their arrows at the same time. However, Wu Guo's arrows did very little damage, and few of them hit.

But a large number of their soldiers fell down.

The infantry led by Ling Cao came from behind, and the two sides began a scuffle.

In the evening, the two sides withdrew their troops and returned to their camps. Twenty thousand troops left the city, and only 6000 returned. Cheng Pu kicked the table in front of him angrily.

He completely understood the strength of the Wei soldiers.

Chen Wu reminded: "General, there has been no movement in the camp outside the city. Could it be that it has already been captured by the other party?"

Cheng Pu shook his head and said, "A part of the 3 army can rush out no matter what, and although they say they have a [-] army, the number of people fighting us today is only [-] or [-]. They must be bluffing."

Quan Cong said worriedly, "There are only more than 6000 people left in the city, and there are three or four thousand wounded soldiers who cannot fight. How should we fight next?"

Taking advantage of the war between the two sides, he sent people to leave secretly. He could only hope that they could return to She County smoothly, and then report the matter to the king.

"Report, Wei Jun has surrounded all four city gates and set up many obstacles outside the city gates!"

"This……"

The three of them were horrified, was this going to trap them in the city?

"Report, the camp outside the city is on fire!"

Cheng Pu quickly boarded the city wall, looked at the camp outside the city, and shouted: "Zier!"

Quan Cong advised: "The old general needn't worry too much, the young general is brave and resourceful, and he will definitely be able to break through."

In the middle of the night, Cheng Pu's son Cheng Zi really broke out.

"Open the city gate quickly, I am Cheng Zi!"

Cheng Pu looked at Cheng Zi outside the city, surprised and delighted.

"Let the soldiers outside the city enter the city quickly."

Chapter 480

After Cheng Zi entered the city, he fell to his knees with a plop and began to howl.

Chen Wu pulled Cheng Zi and persuaded him: "Little General Cheng, don't be sad, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs."

Cheng Pu frowned and asked, "Why are there only more than 2000 people? Where's the army?"

Cheng Zi cried and said: "The child is incompetent. Except for these 2000 people, all other soldiers were slaughtered by the Wei army."

"What?" The three looked horrified.

Was massacred?

"How is this going?"

Cheng Zi wiped away tears and said, "Not long after my father led the army to attack the city, our camp was surrounded by them."

"Hail led the army and attacked the enemy's line several times, but he was unable to break through its blockade, and the other side said that they would not take prisoners. We must either cut ourselves off or be killed by them."

"I discussed with all the soldiers and broke out in the dark. With the desperate resistance of all the soldiers, I escaped with such a small number of soldiers."

Cheng Pu sat down on the ground, his face extremely pale.

The [-] army was slaughtered by the opponent in this way.

They didn't want to take prisoners, which is a bit unlike Wei Jun's style.

In the past, no matter who the Wei army fought against, as long as the opponent surrendered, they would not persecute them any more.

Chen Wu hurriedly asked: "Who is the enemy general who besieged you?"

"Ji Ling, Qiao Rui, Zhang Xun!"

"Bastard!"

Cheng Pu's face was extremely gloomy, full of anger, this hateful Yuan Shu, after taking refuge in Cao Shuo, turned out to be so ruthless.

Is this aimed at them on purpose?

Quan Cong said: "General, the reason why the other party dared to do this must have been approved by Cao Shuo. They just wanted to give us a warning, telling us not to attack Wei Guo lightly."

"Report, Wei's army has begun to attack the city!"

Everyone was shocked, why did they attack the city at this time?

Is there something wrong with the two thousand soldiers brought back by Cheng Zi?

The three of them looked at Cheng Zi together, with horrified expressions in their eyes, Cheng Zi asked with a puzzled face, "Father, what are you doing?"

"Immediately imprison those two thousand soldiers."

The opponent wanted Cheng Zi's soldiers to disturb their morale.

No wonder no one stopped Cheng Zi's entry into the city, it turned out to be the idea.

If the soldiers in the city know that their colleagues have been slaughtered, how can their soldiers still have fighting spirit?

Cheng Zi asked: "Why are they detained? They are not traitors!"

Cheng Pu explained: "If the news of the massacre of the army outside the city spreads among the army, will our soldiers still have the will to fight?"

Cheng Zi froze on the spot for a moment, the opponent's scheme was so vicious that he intentionally put himself in the city to spread the news.

The four agreed that one person would be in charge of a city gate, waiting for the arrival of Wei Jun.

However, Wenji, Ji Ling, Dong Xi, Qiao Rui, and Zhang Xun outside the city only brought the soldiers two hundred steps away from the city, and did not continue to advance.

Several people gathered together to discuss a specific attack plan.

Ji Ling said: "There are still nearly [-] soldiers in the city. If we attack by force, we will definitely lose a lot."

Dong Xi shook his head and said, "Why do you want to attack by force? Our army of Wei State has never attacked a city by force. Didn't you realize that there is no moat in Jiande?"

"What do you mean?" Ji Ling, Qiao Rui, and Zhang Xun asked in confusion.

"Yingwu's moat has already been filled by us!"

The three of them wiped off a cold sweat. Do they need to use a siege crossbow?

Poor Cheng Pu, he doesn't even know that this city is the tomb for them.

The city gates were dilapidated, the city walls had not been reinforced, and the moat had long been filled in preparation for their siege.

Dong Xi said with a smile: "The buildings in the city have just been built, and most of them are made of a very fragrant oily wood, which can easily be ignited in case of fire, and all the buildings in the city are made of wood."

I'm stupid... really cruel.
