Chapter 2034 There is a siege weapon nearby
Xiahou Dun's words made Xiahou Yuan confused.
He was also thinking, if one day no war, what should people like him do?
Be an official in the court as a hero?
As a military general, you cannot get on a horse and kill the enemy. What is the meaning of being an official?
"Let's go!" Xiahou Yuan was still stunned. Xiahou Dun pulled off his sleeve: "We should be prepared early, and the order to attack the city may be issued at any time."
Xiahou Yuan then followed Xiahou Dun.
Fa Zheng was filled with mixed feelings when he received the order from Cao Shu.
Cao Shu did not intend to leave Liu Bei alive, of course he knew it.
He specially sent someone to convey the order, telling him that as long as he brought Liu Bei's head back and even if he made great contributions, he would undoubtedly tell Fazheng that once Liu Bei was captured, he could deal with it at will.
After receiving the order, Fa Zheng felt mixed feelings in his heart.
Cao Shu not only gave him 50,000 troops to avenge him, but also gave him the authority to deal with Liu Bei.
No matter what purpose Cao Shu did, it would undoubtedly be a kind that was difficult to repay for Fa Zheng.
The messenger left, and Fa Zheng also walked out of the commander's tent.
Facing towards Hanzhong, he picked up his fists and bowed deeply.
From this moment on, Fa Zheng had an additional obsession in his heart.
No matter Liu Zhang or Liu Bei at that time, no one treated him like Cao Shu.
Liu Zhang only gave him a small county magistrate, and although Liu Bei asked him to be the county magistrate, he never offered too much real power, and even deliberately suppressed many things.
Since I became accomplice Cao Shu, everything has been different.
Cao Shu gave him everything he needed. If he could not break through Langzhong, he would return to Hanzhong without a face.
"Send the order!" Fa Zheng shouted: "The army is ready to attack the city at any time!"
The horn sounded outside Langzhong City, and the Wei soldiers lined up in neat formations and advanced towards the city wall.
Fa Zheng rode a tall horse and walked in front of the array.
His face was gloomy, and the closer he got to the city wall, the ugly his face became.
Liu Bei, who killed his whole family, was in the city. Looking at the walls getting closer and closer, Fa Zheng wished he could immediately order the army to rush forward and step on Langzhong into powder.
If it were someone else, maybe that would have done this.
But Fazheng is not someone else after all.
Although the enemy was right in front of him, he would not be impulsive to lead the army to launch an attack immediately.
Langzhong is also a big city.
In addition to the Jialing River surrounding the city, there is also a moat outside the city wall.
The moat happened to be built within the range where the arrows on the city could hit.
As long as the Wei army launched an attack, rain of arrows could immediately pour out from the city wall.
On the head of Langzhong city.
Liu Bei held the battlements and looked at the army outside the city.
There were only a few thousand soldiers in the city, but the Wei army outside the city was in a huge crowd of darkness. I don’t know how many of them were.
Seeing Fa Zheng who led his army to the outside of the city from afar, Liu Bei's face turned pale and gritted his teeth and wanted to eat him raw in one bite.
Standing behind Liu Bei, seeing that he was in a bad mood, Wang Ping whispered: "If your Majesty is uncomfortable, please go back to the government office to rest first."
"Fa Zhengdu has come outside the city, how could I still have the heart to go back to the government to rest?" Liu Bei said: "He hated me to the core. Even if I don't guard here, once the city is broken, he will try his best to humiliate him. This time, Cao Zirong sent troops to attack Yizhou, and I have no way out. Either I will repel the enemy or I am killed by them!"
When he said these words, Liu Bei's tone was very desolate.
There were also some days when he was a general in Shu Han, and Wang Ping knew this emperor a little.
In the past, Liu Bei would not be like this when he encountered anything in the past.
Liu Bei's face was solemn, and he looked at the army outside the city without saying a word.
Leading the army to approach the city wall, Fa Zheng could already see Liu Bei on the top of the city.
His face was gloomy and stared at Liu Bei on the top of the city. Fa Zheng clenched his fists tightly.
He raised his arm and the horn sounded stopped.
"General Yuan Rang, how do you think our army should attack?" When talking to Xiahou Dun, Fa Zheng's eyes did not leave the city for a moment.
Xiahou Dun replied: "Duke Fa, I think some catapults should be built before siege..."
"What are you doing to build a catapult?" Fa Zheng looked around and said, "We don't need a ready-made siege weapon, but we just want to build a catapult. Wouldn't it take much effort?"
Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, who were following him, looked confused and did not understand where the siege weapon came from nearby.
Pointing at the Jialing River flowing around the city, Fa Zheng said: "The river is full of water. If they are introduced into Langzhong City, what will happen in the city?
"Duke Fa wants to divert water to irrigate Langzhong?" Xiahou Dun asked in surprise.
"That's right." Fa Zheng said: "No matter what, I must break through Langzhong, so I can give my lord an explanation.
"I'm afraid my lord won't agree." Xiahou Dun said: "What should I do if the people in the city are lured to irrigate the Jialing River? You must know that the lord has never been able to bear the people suffering too much. You must know that the floods are everywhere in the city, and I'm afraid that few people can survive."
"How many people died in the attack of the world?" Fa Zheng said: "My lord should understand better than you and me. In chaotic times, the people are just fish on the chopping board at the slaughter of others. How many people die, we can do nothing about it!"
What Fa Zheng said is indeed reasonable, but Xiahou Dun and others always think something is wrong.
If a catapult cart is built, although the siege will last longer, it will prevent excessive casualties from the people.
In order to break through Langzhong as soon as possible, Fa Zheng actually thought of such a way...
"Duke Fa, do you want it..." Yang Xiu also persuaded him.
He knew that once the Fa Zheng method was passed into Cao Shu's ears, it would likely have a significant impact on Cao Shu.
Yang Xiu didn't know what would happen to Cao Shu, but he knew that Fazheng's approach would definitely not be recognized by Cao Shu.
"What are you all worried about?" Fa Zheng glanced at everyone and said to them: "When he went to the battle, the lord said that when he arrived at the battlefield, he would leave everything to me to deal with. As long as you act according to my method, no matter what happened, I will be alone."
Even though Fa Zheng said this, everyone still felt that something was wrong.
They looked at each other, and Yang Xiuxian said, "My generals, you should act according to what Fa Gong said."
Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan responded only then.
The two of them ordered their soldiers to bring hoes and shovels to guide the water from the Jialing River into Langzhong City.
The Wei army did not rush to launch an attack, but dispersed many people to the Jialing River.
When Liu Bei on the top of the city saw this scene, his face suddenly changed to something bad.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Seeing that his face was wrong, Wang Ping asked.
