Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 235 Buried and Buried Alive

Liu Xie knew long ago that his time travel would change history, but he never realized that his time travel would make his first siege battle so dramatic.

Chen Zhen's guess was correct. After Liu Xie planned to retreat from Lu Bu, he did not go south to meet Xu Rong along the way, but turned back to Wuguan.After a long circle, the army suddenly moved and rushed to Wancheng in a rampage.

Wan, Qucao walks on its own, and its meaning is high on all sides and down in the center, which is in line with the landform characteristics of a basin surrounded by mountains on the west, north and east of Nanyang. 'Qucao self-covering' means that the grass covers the land and the vegetation is lush and green.

At the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu State in the south became stronger and stronger, and successively annexed the states in the Han River Basin to the north, and the two countries of Lu and Shen were also destroyed by King Wen of Chu.After the state of Chu occupied this piece of land with both fertile and beautiful soil and the convenience of rivers and rivers, it established Wanyi here as a base for aspiring to the Central Plains.Wan's name started from here.

This is a famous city with a long history. Even from the era of Liu Xie, four famous historical figures came out of this place: Fan Li the merchant, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing, the medical saint, and Huang Zhong, the general of Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms.The first two Liu Xie had no chance to meet, but the last two... He still had no chance to meet.

Zhang Ji and Zhang Zhongjing are currently serving as county guards in Changsha, while Huang Zhong is still a partial general, working under Jiangxia prefect Huang Zu.

Such a historical ancient city is not inferior to the capital Chang'an in terms of scale and solidity, not to mention that it is also the lair of Yuan Shu, the fierce ghost on the road.

This guy Yuan Shu built an official residence in Wancheng, levied money and food, selected beauties, ate wealthy families, sang songs every day, and feasted every night.In order to ensure that he can enjoy it safely, he recruited strong men twice and rebuilt Wancheng twice.The stones used are pebbles from the bottom of the river, tamped with chalk mud and glutinous rice, even if it is an iron nail, it is difficult to pierce a hole in the city wall.

But as Liu Xie's first siege debut, Wancheng must be breached, and must be breached in the shortest possible time.Because this is not only related to the life and death of Xu Rong's [-] soldiers in Xuanyuan Mountain, but also related to the future of the people of Nanyang.

On the way of marching, Liu Xie rarely rode freely because he couldn't bear to see the miserable condition of the road he passed.Under Yuan Shu's misfortune, the people in Nanyang County were no longer human beings. They haunted the daytime like lonely ghosts, looking for tree roots and turf to satisfy their hunger.Fortunately, this season is still late summer, if it is winter, these people will definitely be frozen to death in the wild!
The order of strengthening the wall and clearing the fields made Yuan Shu sweep every grain and every bit of wealth from the Nanyang people's homes into Wancheng, leaving only the helpless people waiting to die outside the city.

However, even though he was full of resentment along the way, Liu Xie did not rush to attack the city after arriving under Wancheng.Although after Ji Ling left, only Qiao Rui, a third-rate military general, guarded the city of Wancheng, and there were less than [-] miscellaneous soldiers in the city, but Liu Xie still did not act rashly.

He wants to listen to the opinion of a person first, a person who has not even left a word in history, but has been respected for thousands of years.

"General Gao, if I designate you as the main general, how many days will it take to break through this city?" Looking at Gao Shun, who had a vicissitudes of life and even a bit of resentment, no matter how he looked at it, he felt as if he had robbed Lu Bu's wife. .

After Hulao was shut down, Lu Bu rejected Liu Xieyan's proposal to invite him to return to the Han Dynasty, but in the face of a vast and unknown future, a lone wolf in troubled times also has a weak side, so he accepted Liu Xie's other compromise proposal.But for that proposal, Liu Xie added a condition, that is, to borrow one of Lu Bu's generals as a sincerity for the alliance between the two armies.

Originally, Liu Xie wanted to bring Zhang Liao and Gao Shun together, but the conditions were too harsh.So Liu Xie wandered between Zhang Li and Gao Shun for a long time. Finally, thinking of the different fates of the two, Liu Xie decided to get Gao Shun first.

After all, that kid Zhang Liao was still young, he survived under Lv Bu's hands, and he was deeply liked by Lv Bu.

As for Gao Shun, he was a bit too upright. In the end, Bai Menlou wanted to die, and his reputation was preserved, but his head moved.Moreover, although Lu Bu doesn't care much about Gao Shun at the moment, it will be a matter of time before the two hearts gradually drift apart due to the huge difference in their personalities. patients with severe depression.

However, even if Gao Shun was abducted into his hands at this time, Liu Xie found that he was too happy to be happy.Along the way, Gao was reticent by the way, and he was even more out of tune with other generals.Alone like a Tibetan Mastiff abandoned by someone, he complains not only about himself but also treats others coldly, with the appearance of not getting close to strangers.

At this time, when Liu Xie asked him about the siege of the city, Gao Shun's eyes warmed up, and he respectfully clasped his fists and replied, "Your Majesty, the siege of the city is the most difficult. There are [-] people strong, and Qiaorui, who is not well-known, guards the city. But Wancheng is as solid as gold, and it is a natural barrier. If you blindly attack, you don't need Qiaorui to be so powerful. As long as you defend the city in a well-regulated manner, our army will be difficult to defeat for decades. .”

Liu Xie nodded, Gao Shun's words were not without reason.But this is only seen from the perspective of a general. War is never an isolated event, and Liu Xie is never a simple general: "If you follow the general's opinion, what should you do?"

"According to the opinion of the last general, Your Majesty should make great fanfare and bluff to intimidate the enemy's courage. At the same time, send elites to attack the corner of the city first. When the soldiers' hearts in the city are shaken, they should surround three gates and one, and the enemy will surely disperse and leave the city. At that time Make the ambush soldiers wait for work at ease, and capture them all!"

Liu Xie couldn't help nodding more vigorously after hearing this strategy.Gao Shun is indeed worthy of being a famous general buried in history like Xu Rong. He is proficient in the art of war and has a deep understanding of the psychology of both offensive and defensive sides: "Since this is the case, let the general's subjugated camp become the main force for attacking the city. I wonder if the general can give up?"

As soon as this remark came out, Liu Xie originally thought that it would be performed according to the normal plot. Gao Shun knelt down generously and said something like "it is the duty of the last general to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, so why talk about you and me", and then fell into the camp to be brave and fearless , Several times to attack the head of Wancheng city, beating the defenders of Wancheng to their wits.

On the day when the city was finally broken, Liu Xie was rewarded according to his meritorious deeds. Gao Shun was awarded the honorary title of 'The First Iron Army of the Han Dynasty' for his first meritorious service.Gao Shun also accepted the generous reward from the Emperor of the Han Dynasty with tears in his eyes, and was determined to work for Liu Xie for the rest of his life.Even if Lu Bu's old boss turned around and flirted with him, Gao Shun would not even look at him, and just kept messing with Liu Xie all the way to the end...

Unexpectedly, after hearing Liu Xie's words, Gao Shun's face suddenly became very strange.Gao Shun looked at Liu Xie even more strangely, and suddenly thought of something, he said, "General Gao, you are only good at guerrilla warfare when you are trapped in the camp, and not good at attacking fortifications?" Falling into the camp and attacking the city...

"As a soldier, when he is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as aggressive as fire, as immovable as a mountain, it is his duty to attack and retreat. The soldiers under the general's command will get their horses and attack the city by themselves!"

"Then the general refuses to throw the trapped camp on the battle of Wancheng?" Liu Xie was even more puzzled. Since the trapped camp is an all-around army and Gao Shun is like that kind of stingy person, why is he so hesitant?
At this time, Gao Shun watched Liu Xie silently for a long time, and finally blushed, and then asked Liu Xie hesitantly: "Your Majesty, do you not know that the last general has returned the trapped camp to General Fenwu?" , only came to serve the Han Dynasty alone?"

As soon as Liu Xie heard this, his face suddenly turned black and then white like thunder, his left hand clenched his right tightly to stop the urge to beat Gao Shun violently, but he still couldn't help gnashing his teeth and turned to Gao Shun. Shun forced to ask: "Do you know, between Zhang Liao and you, Gao Shun, why did I choose you in the end?!"

"Do you know that in order to get trapped in the camp, I gave Lv Bu's army a whole month's supply of food and supplies!"

"Do you know that the piles of food, grass and supplies can fill up half of the front hall of Weiyang Palace!"

At this moment, Liu Xie was so angry that his hands began to tremble, and suddenly he shot like lightning, and even grabbed the hand of Gao Shun, a quasi-first-class general, pressed it on his heart, and cried out in pain: "Do you know, my heart is now It hurts so much, it's bleeding...do you know that?!"

"At the end, at the end, I know, no, at the end I don't know..." At this moment, facing the hideous Liu Xie, Gao Shun was really afraid. At this time, he had never encountered an unexpected situation on the battlefield for many years. : "Your Majesty, should the last general know or not..."

Why!Gao Shun, you deserved to be buried by history... With your emotional intelligence, why weren't you buried alive by history!
