I received my adopted son in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 240
After collecting and capturing the prisoners of war, Lao Dong immediately asked Hua Xiong to lead the team to Xuanyuan Pass.Immediately, he advanced the battle line with Sun Jian's army and set up camp fifty miles away from the north gate of Wancheng.

It's just that when discussing the next military action, he didn't seem very interested.

Even in front of the Sun family, he even gave Dian Wei a resentful look: "Awei, it seems that you don't know anything about time travel?"

Dian Wei showed a sad face at that time, and said almost pleadingly: "My lord, I really don't know about time travel, let alone someone like you."

The implication is: I am a normal person, but I am not like you, who from time to time suffer from some diseases that are difficult for others to understand.

Sun Jian didn't care too much about this. As a descendant of Sun Wu, he cared more about the next phase of the military plan: "As the Taiwei said, the walls of Wancheng are high and thick, and there is a moat."

"Although we defeated Yuan Shu's main force in the first battle, if we attack by force, it will take a lot of time to build engineering equipment. If it doesn't take a few months, it may not be effective."

"Wentai, you have to forgive others and forgive others. We are such a big force to go on, which has caused a great psychological shadow on Yuan Shu."

Old Dong waved his hands when he heard the words, and said, "I'm really impatient for a bastard like him. I'm afraid he will drag all the people in Wancheng to be buried with him."

"Your family's ancestors also said that if ten is surrounded, five is attacked, and double is divided..."

"There are still 3 soldiers in Wancheng. If we forcefully conscript strong men, we can get another [-] soldiers. We will be equal to Yuan Shu when we add up the number of soldiers. Without the advantages of the terrain, it would be unwise to attack by force."

"Huh!.... You said you were the one who was beaten before, but now you are the one who said you won't be hit. What do you mean?" Sun Ce, who was robbed of Ji Ling's head on the battlefield, was still angry when he came back.

If old Dong is in a good mood, he can tolerate Sun Ce's little disrespect. After finding out that Dian Wei is not his fellow countryman, he is not in a good mood at this time.

He raised his eyes and gave Sun Ce a sideways look, and said, "Oh, you can go ahead... If you think I'm ugly, then I'll leave tonight?"

"I'm on, I'm on!"

Sun Ce immediately spoke boldly and said, "Yuan Shu's [-] main force has been defeated by our army, and he hastily fled into the city like a frightened bird. Tomorrow, I will lead the attack on the city for Xiandeng, and I will surely retake Wancheng in one battle!"

"Nonsense!" Sun Jian was furious when he heard the words, and scolded, "The wall of Wan City is three feet high and two feet six wide, and behind the wall there is an urn city. If there is no siege equipment, do you think it can be easily breached with flesh and blood?"

Sun Ce was young and frivolous, and he didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

However, Sun Jian had previously accompanied Zhu Jun in the conquest of Huangjinqu Commander Zhao Hong. He had personally climbed the walls of Wancheng, and he had a deep understanding of its impregnability: "If we blindly attack by force, our [-] descendants will not be able to continue the strong attack for five days."

"Afterwards, do you still want to rely on those county soldiers who are not good at training and lack of courage to attack and seize?" He kicked Sun Ce's ass and reprimanded, "Apologize to the Taiwei quickly!"

Seeing Sun Ce's unconvinced appearance, Old Dong didn't bother to care about it, and waved his hand and said, "How can I say that, Wentai also agrees to accept it as soon as it is good?"

Of course Sun Jian disagreed.

He even wanted to be like Sun Ce said, after breaking through Wancheng, he would stay here and be the prefect of Nanyang: Nanyang governs 37 cities, 50 households, and a total population of more than 240 million.

Regardless of whether agriculture, handicrafts, or commerce are very developed, it is the largest county in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is several times stronger than Changsha County.

But he didn't agree, and he couldn't do it.

Because although Lao Dong allocated him food and grass, he only gave him seven days, which was not enough to support the attack on Wancheng.

"I must follow the instructions carefully. However, as the Taiwei said, Yuan Shu is arrogant and self-important by nature. This time, even if I wait to see what I want, I am afraid that he will not give in easily."

These words are more technical than Sun Ce: It's not that I'm disobedient, but that Yuan Shu may be disobedient.Taiwei, think it over, why don't we continue fighting?

Old Dong smiled indifferently, and said: "The more barking a dog is, the more honest it will be after being hit with a stick... There is no need for Wentai to worry too much, as long as I follow the old man's plan, I will definitely be able to get food and grass back to Changsha."

The opponent had made up his mind, and Sun Jian had nothing to say.

Then, when he was about to thank the gift, he suddenly looked stunned: "Hui, do you still need to ask Yuan Shu for the food and grass to go back to Changsha?"

"That's natural." Old Dong said with a look of reason, "You have an army of [-], how can I afford it?... If there were so much food and grass, it would have been... er, it would have been wiped out long ago. Yuan Shu!"

Tch, although you changed your words in time, I also recognized it: that sentence should be, if you had enough food and grass, you would have wiped out me and Yuan Shu long ago, right?
However, he was even more curious about what old Dong could do to subdue Yuan Shu, who was known as the "ghost on the road" in Luoyang.

I'm even more curious, besides food and grass, what benefits do you want to get from Yuan Shu?

Sun Jian could see it. Old Dong... Heh, the wild goose has to pluck its hair, and the iron rooster has to be rusted. Now that the lion has the opportunity to open its mouth, it will definitely eat a piece of fat.

……

Three days later, the messenger ran into the hall in fear, looked at the pale Yuan Shu and said, "My lord, Bandit Dong is yelling at the city again!"

Yuan Shu, who was defeated in the first battle, seemed to clearly realize the gap between himself and Old Dong and Sun Jian, and asked with a trembling voice: "How many bandits have Dong Dong gathered this time?"

"There are probably more than [-] people, and the four gates of Wancheng are surrounded by Dong thieves..." The messenger's voice trembled even more than Yuan Shu's, and said, "The person who scolded the formation at the east gate is Captain Ji Ling!"

"There's no reason for that!" Yuan Shu was submissive when dealing with old Dong and Sun Jian, but he heard that Ji Ling had surrendered to Dong, so he immediately chose to attack with a heavy fist, "The unfaithful and unrighteous ones will lose our army's prestige, and they should be executed all over the house, come here! ..."

Unexpectedly, without waiting for others to intercede, the order immediately said: "My lord, you must not do it. Dong thief has something to say first. If my lord dares to touch a hair of Ji Xiaowei's family, I will kill the whole family of my lord. No dog or dog will be spared!"

"Tie Dong!..." Yuan Shu suddenly became furious, and slapped the table with his palm.

Just when Yan Xiang and Yuan Huan feared that he would be impulsive, they saw Yuan Shu's expression suddenly changed when they fought Dong Thief, "He... really said that?"

"In other words, Thief Dong is willing to negotiate peace with General Ben?"

"This..." The messenger didn't understand how the old Dong's threat not to kill Ji Ling's family turned out to be peace talks between the two parties, and he didn't know how to reply.

"My lord, Bandit Dong is just under the city, why don't you go and ask for clarification?" Yuan Huan sighed, and had to stand up, already prepared in his heart.

Sure enough, when he saw himself speaking, Yuan Shu became very angry: "If you hadn't fooled me with your foolish plan, how could we have suffered today's disaster!...Today Dong Bandit's soldiers came to the city, it is all your fault!"

In terms of slipping shoulders and not taking responsibility, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao cannot be said to be exactly the same, but they can only be said to be exactly the same.

"I would like to take the crime and do meritorious service, and go to the city to negotiate with Dong Thief." Yuan Huan, who had already predicted Yuan Shu's reaction, did not wait for the other party to continue to be incompetent and furious, and opened his mouth to give suggestions.

The last time I went out of the city to meet the enemy, it was absolutely correct on the political level.

The only thing he didn't expect was that Yuan Shu would lose so badly against 2 people with 3000 people—even if a pig were to be the commander-in-chief, he probably wouldn't be so crushingly defeated.

But the matter has come to this point, Yuan Huan also admits it.

Who let himself not fully understand the lower limit of the lord's military ability, is it not a lack of planning?

Following the order all the way up the city wall, you can see tents stretching continuously in the distance, and the four camps all form corners, enclosing Wancheng impenetrably.

"Since Dong Bandit the day before yesterday, reinforcements have arrived one after another."

"The villain has roughly estimated that there are already 3 reinforcements from Dong's thief, which is by no means a match for us." Looking at the mighty Dong Ying, Chuan Ling couldn't help but speak.

He didn't want to work for Yuan Shu at all.

Yuan Huan nodded, but he was somewhat puzzled: "Is there a possibility that Dong Bandit is repeating his old tricks this time?"

"What trick to repeat?"

"Last year, he led elite soldiers into Luoyang. Fearing that the number of soldiers would not be enough to overwhelm everyone, he ordered the troops out of the city late at night, and then returned with great fanfare the next day... Is this the same way to confuse our army?"

"Impossible!" Chuan Ling didn't know whether it was the case, but subconsciously rejected it.

The reason is simple: if Yuan Huan's guess is true, then he is negligent; even if it is false, he does not want to work for Yuan Shu.

Therefore, Lao Dong just increased his troops, as he said, it is useless when Jesus comes!
Old Dong, who was carrying a new trumpet under the city wall, boasted to Sun Jian with a smile on his face: "Basic exercises don't 6, this is the old man's traditional art."
