The Invincible Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

"This Luocheng must be taken." Liu Rui gradually analyzed that Luocheng's annual surplus supply of grain and grass can meet the needs of [-] people for three or four months, which is enough to be regarded as a major granary area, and among them, it must be settled now. There is a lot of food, and there are at least two years of needs.

The Battle of Changping has been in the past few years. This Luocheng was captured by the Qin State after Changping. It has been just two years now. Even if the Qin army attacked Huaicheng in the first two times, there are still a lot of them left. Satisfy the total strength of Huaicheng for one year.

However, Luocheng is relatively stable for a reason. First, it is backed by the Yellow River, and the mountain road is rugged. It is a mountain city. Like Chongqing, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Two thousand Qin troops are stationed here, if Liu Rui wants to attack, he must send at least five thousand.

But Liu Ruiming was able to dispatch only three or five thousand people of his own, and even if Li Guang's people were added, there were only six thousand people.

Now I don't plan to tear up the face of Wei Guo, and I want to give Lu Ren an illusion, so naturally, I can't personally dispatch other troops to fight.

Just in time, Lu Ren walked into the military account in high spirits, with a big belly. Seeing that Liu Rui and the others were negotiating, he said, "General Rui has encountered any difficulties that I need to share with you?"

"It's a coincidence, Your Excellency the Prefect is as good as God!" First he touted Lu Ren, Liu Rui saw that Lu Ren was very useful, so he said, "Your Highness Prefect, it will take five thousand to attack Luocheng. People, but you need your lord to send troops to support!"

When Lu Ren heard the words, he remembered that he still had "military power", he laughed, nodded and said, "No problem, this Luocheng will be handed over to Lord Ben, but... Does General Rui have a suitable candidate to be the commander?" . ,,.

1173: All Attacks

Liu Rui thought about it for a while, and recommended: "Chen Ping and Li Guang are the best candidates. You can rest assured that the prefect will hand over the attack on Luocheng to the two."

Now that Chen Ping has no place to officially use it, it is just for him to practice his hands, and Li Guang is no longer assigned by himself in name, so it is better to directly recommend him to go there.

"Okay!" Lu Ren already regarded Chen Ping as his confidant, but he didn't know that Chen Ping was Liu Rui's best friend, and he didn't know whether it was lamentable, sad or pitiful, "With Chen Ping here, I can rest assured!"

"However... I'm curious. General Rui has only three thousand people. How can he attack two cities?" Lu Ren asked.

Liu Rui smiled lightly, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Luo Cheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it would be more appropriate to let the adults go. Ziyang and Xingcheng's defenders are weak and defensive, and three thousand Huaicheng is enough to be brave!"

Lu Ren suddenly realized that his task was very arduous, but as long as he captured Luocheng, he would be able to make great achievements and even get a reward. Even if he wanted to go out in person, he was stopped by Liu Rui and others in the end. .

Fortunately, Lu Ren was only hot. If he really let himself go to the battlefield, he would probably make a fool of himself by peeing his pants, so after everyone persuaded him for a while, he accepted it.

After Lu Ren left, Liu Rui ordered the appointment with a solemn expression: "Jiang Wei and Yu Chigong, you two are responsible for attacking Xingcheng, Xingcheng is only a thousand defenders, of which Qin army only has two hundred, I will give it to you. Two people and a thousand soldiers, may they complete the mission?"

Jiang Wei and Yu Chi Gong should also practice their skills. Those bandits are just a mob, and in the end, they still need to try a tough battle.

Jiang Wei and Yuchi respectfully took the orders and shouted, "The last general will definitely not disgrace his mission and not embarrass the lord!"

In fact, [-] people are enough. Of course, this is for Jiang Wei and Yu Chi Gong. After all, the total number of defenders is only [-], and the regular Qin army is only [-] people.

For the two of them, Liu Rui was relieved. As long as there were no accidents, Xing Cheng would be defeated soon.

Unlike Huaicheng, small border towns like Xingcheng are mixed, and they have little interest in defending the city. For them, whoever rules them is the same, but the city has changed individuals and tax collectors.

Therefore, it will not happen that the army and the people are united and defend the city with the enemy.

It is precisely because Liu Rui knew this that he dared to only send two thousand people to two people. Otherwise, he would never have been able to care so much.

As for Ziyang, the defending army had [-] people. Because Ziyang was backed by an iron mine, it was relatively important, while the regular Qin army had [-] people.

When the combat mission was announced, Liu Rui set off with [-] people. When they left the city, the people said goodbye, hoping that Liu Rui would return triumphantly.

There was no obstacle along the way, and Liu Rui came to Ziyang City.

Ziyang City is not very big, and the city wall is only two feet high. After solving the scouts on the periphery, he built dozens of siege ladders at will, and Liu Rui ordered the siege!

Two thousand people attacked across the board, this is to win the city in one go!

Seeing this, the guards on the city hurriedly deployed their troops to defend. Countless arrows and falling rocks smashed down. Liu Rui rushed in front, unafraid, holding the cold shadow sword, and with every swing of Liu Rui, Countless arrows were cut off.

Seeing Liu Rui being so brave, and looking at his clothes, the defenders knew that he was a general, so they all shot arrows at him.

Liu Rui sneered, took three steps and took two steps, grabbed a siege ladder, and jumped up. Before the defenders on the tower could react, they rushed to the front of the city. The Qin army guards saw this and hurried up. Slashing at Liu Rui with a long sword!

"Hmph, I'm not self-sufficient!" Liu Rui smiled disdainfully. This person's kung fu is not as good as that of a three-legged cat, and Liu Rui was cut to the sword at once!

The soldiers defending the city saw that the general was dead, and then saw countless Wei troops attacking the city head, all of them lost their fighting spirit and surrendered. Only the [-] Qin troops were still desperately resisting, Liu Rui showed no mercy and jumped in. Fighting again.

Soon, eight hundred people were wiped out.

With a burst of cheers, Ziyang City was captured by Liu Rui!

The people in the city greeted each other—I don’t know how many times these people crossed the road to welcome the team, but they were obviously numb to the fact that the city changed hands.

Looking at these people who have no "belief" and have no "national concept" in their hearts, Liu Rui also sighed. At that time, he can let Jian Yong come to these cities for publicity and propaganda, and add some encouraging policies to brainwash the people. Become one's own people, and then it will be easy.

Otherwise, when you defend the city in the future, if you are like the talent just now, wouldn't it be very cost-effective to lay down this city?

Leaving a few hundred people and a thousand people to guard the city, and then let Yuchigong come over, thinking that with his ability, it may be more than enough to guard a small city like this.

Soon after returning to Huaicheng, Xingcheng and Luocheng were also captured. Liu Rui asked Li Guang to guard Luocheng, Yuchigong to guard Ziyang, and Jiang Wei to guard Xingcheng. The three cities echoed Huaicheng from a distance, like three guards. The city generally guards Huaicheng, which also makes the people in the city more stable.

At the same time, Jian Yong continued to travel in the three places, secretly promoting Liu Rui's achievements, and Liu Rui's reputation was also increasing day by day.

The three cities had just been captured, and Liu Rui wondered if there were any fine works of the Qin state, especially Luocheng, which would be the second granary of Huaicheng in the future, so a major investigation and cleanup had to be carried out.

Gai Nie went with the swordsmen team, and he also wanted to investigate.

The importance of Luocheng is self-evident, and Luocheng, who used to be Luozhuang, also has a big family, that is, the Luo clan. It is said that this family has more than [-] direct descendants, and its power and prestige can be said to be in Luocheng. Raise your hands.

This alone has reached the point where Liu Rui has to pay attention.

What's more, half of the cultivated land in Luocheng is owned by the Luo clan. Most of the people in Luocheng are actually farming for them. The Luo clan is like the emperor of Luocheng. Internally, there will be people who will join the military and politics, and will be awarded titles.

This forced Liu Rui to go there in person.

Luocheng is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful. In peacetime, it is like a paradise. The common people are at sunrise and sunset, and it is an independent landscape in the border area.
