Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 178

Early the next morning, Lu Bu allocated [-] soldiers and horses to southern Chu. With Chu Nan as the main general, Huang Zhong and Wei Yanfu led them to attack Hefei. Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Cheng Lian each led [-] soldiers to attack Li. Yang, Chengde, and Fuling counties, and Lu Bu and Chen Gong sit in the rear. As long as the four counties are under control, Jiujiang County will take half of them.

Seeing his wife wrapped in silver armor, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and even Zhou Cang wearing armor, Chu Nan felt a burst of envy in his heart. Even if he got a super physique, he still couldn't resist the scorching heat.

"Let's go!" Without feeling too much, Chu Nan waved the command flag, and the army of five thousand soldiers began to march towards Hefei.

The aura formed by the formation of five thousand soldiers began to continuously wash away Chu Nan's body and spirit. Gradually, Chu Nan also forgot the scorching heat. Driven by Feng Zimi, the five thousand soldiers ran like flying. When he wanted to integrate into this aura, he instantly felt as if he had become a god. Within the range of the [-] army, he felt like he was in control of everything.

Every march and battle is a practice for military cultivators. It is difficult for those who have not experienced it to understand the feeling of qi rushing through the body and continuously strengthening the body.

The location of the three armies is the location of their own heaven and earth, and the general in it seems to be omnipotent. This is different from the popularity of Confucianism. Popular popularity can temper the aura of awe-inspiring aura, but it cannot give people the feeling of all-round improvement. There is no sense of absolute control.

Tangyi is three hundred miles away from Hefei. With Chu Nan's current mastery and comprehension of the secret of Fengzi, he arrived in Hefei in one day.

"My lord, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity? Hefei is not ready yet, how about a surprise attack on the city?" Wei Yan ran all the way, but he didn't feel tired at all, and looked at Chu Nandao.

Chu Nan looked at the luck on his head, nodded and took out a command arrow and handed it to him, "Then Chief Wen will go and try it. If it doesn't work, retreat quickly. I'll wait for a day and fight again tomorrow!"

"Here!" Wei Yan agreed, and immediately ordered two thousand soldiers and horses, and went straight to Hefei.

Chu Nan has a lot of expectations for Wei Yan. Although he is a bit aggressive, he has his own set of rules. Chu Nan doesn't like to be aggressive because of his personality, but within the controllable range, he does not reject Wei Yan. With this style, if everyone in a team is as stable as an old dog, then the team can only be regarded as good at best, but it is difficult to excel.

Chu Nan is becoming more and more stable now, and Wei Yan's aggressive personality can complement each other if they can be well balanced.

Although Hefei is not the county seat of Jiujiang today, it is definitely one of the most fertile counties in Jiujiang. After all, the confluence of two rivers makes the local soil quite fertile. This is the reason for the fat character in Hefei's name.

In addition, it has also served as county government and even Yangzhou state government before, so the city defense of Hefei has been strengthened through the past dynasties. Although Hefei city itself belongs to the county level, in terms of wealth and solidity of the city, I am afraid that cities such as Yinling and Shouchun may not be able to do so. Compared with Hefei.

Although Yuan Shu gathered all his strength to block Cao Cao, Hefei still had a lot of troops garrisoned here as the key point between the north and the south.

Lu Bu gave Chu Nan [-] more troops than the others, not just because Chu Nan was his son-in-law.

The guard of Hefei is not a famous general, but he is quite alert. After sensing Wei Yan's approach, he decisively closed the city gate, assembled the lieutenant soldiers to defend the city, and at the same time invited the county magistrate to reinforce the city.

Although Yuan Shu is not popular with the people now, he can still gain some popular popularity. With the support of these popular popularity, Wei Yan cooperated with the county magistrate and the defenders, and Wei Yan's round of surprise attack failed to break through the city as Wei Yan wished.

When the sky completely darkened, Wei Yan returned to the camp with his men and horses. Chu Nan had already set up the camp and was discussing with Huang Zhong and Lu Lingqi how to break the city.

"My lord, the last general is incompetent and failed to break through the city." Wei Yan bowed to Chu Nan, a little frustrated. Since he dispatched troops, he didn't seem to have achieved much. On the contrary, Huang Zhong killed several generals in Jiangdong, and his credit was not small.

"It doesn't matter, this strange soldier focuses on a strange word. If the opponent is more cautious, the strange soldier is not very easy to use." Chu Nan waved his hand and said: "Sit! Tell me about the situation of the defenders."

"Thank you, Lord." Wei Yan sat down and began to tell Chu Nan about the situation of the defending army. The defending army is not strong. Wei Yan does not know how many, but the number should not be too many, because Wei Yan can feel that the opponent is short of manpower when attacking the city. But he didn't call anyone to come right away.

In addition, the hearts of the people in the city should not be stable, otherwise, even if the defenders are only a few third-rate characters, with the help of the people's wishes, the city defenders should not be so powerful.

"If our army attacks by force, we will guarantee that we can go down to this city within three days." Wei Yansu said, although he has not broken the city, but he has found out what the opponent is. As long as he is well prepared for this kind of city, he is confident that he can quickly attack the city. Take it down.

"Attack by force." Chu Nan shook his head, he didn't want to attack by force: "When the siege is possible, it is better to attack the heart. If it is not necessary, there is no need to attack by force."

Attacking is a last resort.

"I don't know how to attack my heart?" Wei Yan, Lu Lingqi, and Huang Zhong all looked at Chu Nan.

"Prototypes first, soldiers later, send a book in tomorrow, and try to persuade them to surrender first." Chu Nan laughed.

Everyone thought it was impossible, so early the next morning, Chu Nan sent someone to deliver a letter.

After the Hefei county magistrate read the persuading letter, he handed it to the county lieutenant at the side: "Hmph, this Chu Ziyan's words are polite, but it's impossible for me to surrender to him!"

The county lieutenant closed the letter, frowned and said, "If he attacks by force, our army may not be able to resist it!"

The magistrate of Hefei frowned when he heard the words, and after thinking for a moment, he sneered and said, "Isn't he going to surrender? Why don't we have a false negotiation with him first, and then send people out of the city to seek reinforcements!"

"Where are the reinforcements now?" The county lieutenant asked with a wry smile.

"Confused, if Hefei goes down, then this place will belong to Nalu Bu. Ask the rich families in Hefei if they are willing? If not, reinforcements will come!" The county magistrate sneered: "I will write to him and delay If you live with this person, send people to seek reinforcements everywhere."

"Okay!" The county captain felt that the plan was feasible, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Soon, the county magistrate's reply arrived, and he was willing to surrender, but this was a serious matter, and he wanted to give Chu Nan two days' grace. After two days, he led the crowd to surrender.

"Go and reply to the county magistrate, and tell me that I know about it." After reading the letter, Chu Nan nodded and smiled at the messenger.

"My lord, this is clearly a plan to slow down the troops!" Wei Yan couldn't help but said after the messenger left.

"With the letter as evidence, it doesn't matter whether it's a plan to delay the army." Chu Nan handed the letter to Wei Yan and said with a smile: "Mr. Wen, take this letter and go to the ten miles and eight towns around Hefei to send orders to inform the three elders in various places. , At the same time, we want to implement a new policy here, and order the food supervisor in the army to start measuring the land. The siege of the city is not only about these things that can be seen, but more importantly, people's hearts. If people's hearts are in hand, the city will naturally have gone."

Wei Yan nodded, he understood the reason, but it was a bit troublesome to do so.

"That's right." Chu Nan looked at Wei Yan and said with a smile: "It's an extraordinary time, but he resisted. No matter who resists, the local big family will kill him."

Wei Yan looked at Chu Nan in bewilderment when he heard the words, he understood the truth that if someone resisted, it doesn't matter if he was shot or killed.

"They fooled the people and incited them to fight against the imperial court." Chu Nan said in a deep voice, "Do you think there will be people who will take the initiative to rush against the imperial army when there is no interest involved?"

Suddenly, Wei Yan hesitated and said: "The person who collided..."

"Try not to kill, if the big clan removes those who refuse to give up, kill them on the spot!" Chu Nan said casually, these rural local tyrants are the foundation of this county, and if these people are beaten, this Hefei is the real Lonely city.

"The general understands, so let's do it!" Wei Yan was stunned, and after bowing to Chu Nan, he turned around and dealt with the matter.

"General Han Sheng." Chu Nan looked at Huang Zhong.

"The end is here!" Huang Zhong stepped forward and said.

"The general is in charge of training the soldiers, and he can do as much as he can, and occasionally let one or two arrows fly into the city." Chu Nan said with a smile: "Divide the soldiers into two groups, the general is in charge of daytime drills, and Zhou Cang is in charge of nighttime drills. "Chu Nan pointed to Zhou Cang who was in a daze.

"Ah?" Zhou Cang looked at Chu Nan blankly: "My lord, it will never happen."

"It's not important. What's important is that the momentum is big. You can even shout at Hefei directly." Chu Nan explained casually.

Seeing that Zhou Cang was still in a daze, Chu Nan pointed to Huang Zhong: "Just follow the order, and the other Han Sheng generals will teach you!"

"Here!" Zhou Cang nodded and agreed.

The second general led away, leaving only the husband and wife in the tent.

"Husband, do I have a military order?" After the generals left, Lu Lingqi looked at Chu Nan.

"Really." Chu Nan thought for a while and smiled, "It's just a little hard work, madam."

"I will go out with my husband, so I will not be afraid of hard work." Lu Lingqi said solemnly.

"Then ask Madam to set the fire." Chu Nan said with a smile: "Anywhere, it's best to set it at night, and the noise should be loud enough that people in the city can notice it."

Lu Lingqi nodded thoughtfully.

After all the plans were decided, Chu Nan went to study the art of war, leaving the rest to the generals.

Wei Yandang was about to divide his soldiers and horses into a team of a hundred people, because there was a possibility of fighting at any time, so Wei Yan did not dare to divide his troops too widely, and he personally led his personal guards to a village to deliver a message.

"What bullshit New Deal? When did Jiujiang come under Lu Bu's control?" Sure enough, the first village encountered obstacles just now.

Wei Yan was not in a hurry either, seeing the surging crowd and the villagers who were about to clash, Wei Yan shouted with a serious look: "Let's line up!"

The guards quickly formed a battle formation.

"The lord has an order, but if there are troublemakers, immediately kill the local clan!" After Wei Yan finished speaking, he directly lifted the knife and chopped off the head of the three elders who looked bewildered: "Kill!"

The big clans are easy to identify. In general, the big clans in the local area belong to the clan of the three elders. They wear different clothes and live in different places. Any objections?"

A group of villagers are in a state of bewilderment, they are the ones who are making trouble, why are the three elders wiped out?

People who know the basics dare not speak anymore, they are as obedient as sheep, these soldiers are unreasonable in killing people, it is better not to collide with them.

On the other side, the soldiers and civilians in Hefei City were also panicked by the deafening noises outside the city...
