Chapter 1706: Cao Pi Can't Beat Cao Pi for a Long Time
Now that the morale is weak, and the Shu army has burned so much food and grass, and there are such cunning and insidious people as Shen Zifeng in the city, Fancheng really cannot go down. It is the best policy to retreat at this time; Jia Xu sighed in his heart, but he did nothing. Didn't say it, he knew that Cao Pi was provoked by Shen Long repeatedly, and now he was in a rage, he couldn't listen to it.
So Jia Xu could only work with Chen Qun and others to find ways to prepare food and grass, and asked the ministers who stayed in Xudu and Luoyang to raise food and grass and transport it to Fancheng. As for Runan and Nanyang, the food here has been consumed by the army; , Cao Wei's army had a longer route to transport grain and grass, and the loss was even greater.
As for Fancheng, Guan Yu would take the waterway from Jingzhou to deliver food and grass for them on time. Not only was the distance short, but the loss was also small. It can be said that the Shu Han took a great advantage.
After Guan Yu heard that the envoy from the front mentioned that Shen Long fought against the eight generals of Cao Wei alone that day, he lost his voice for a while, and sighed for a long time, "Even if I was in the city that day, I might be able to kill Zhang He, how can I fight against the eight generals alone?" The general is still undefeated?" As for beheading Xu Chu, he didn't know what to say, even in his peak period, he might be able to beat Xu Chu by one or two strokes, but keeping Xu Chu's life is extremely difficult .
However, Guan Yu quickly figured it out. Guan Xing's performance this time was not bad. Being able to fight so many moves with Xu Huang and Xu Gongming didn't hurt his reputation. As for Shen Long, it was not something ordinary people could compare with. .
"Your Majesty, the little thief Cao Pi is probably in a dilemma now!" Ma Liang said with a smile, Cao Pi personally led an army of 150,000 to attack Fancheng, but as soon as he came up, Shen Long came down and lost two generals, Zhang He and Xu Chu. , and the food and grass were burned, he absolutely couldn't swallow this breath.
And he can't swallow it. If he goes back in disgrace like this, how will those courtiers who are dissatisfied with his ascension to the throne and proclaiming himself emperor think about it? It will be difficult for Cao Pi to do anything in the future; One day, a lot of food and grass will be consumed, and Cao Weike will not be able to support it after a long time.
Not long after, Soochow also received the news, and Sun Quan dropped the wine glass in his hand in surprise at that time, "Is there such a fierce general in the world? It seems that Lu Ziming lost in the past without complaining!" Everyone can beat eight What can Lu Meng do alone? I'm afraid Shen Long won't be able to get away with one move, right?
"Order Lu Boyan, let him guard Lukou firmly, and never offend Jingzhou lightly!" If the killing god is recruited, there will be someone in Soochow who can resist it.
"Zifeng is not only better than Guan Zhong, wiser than Liangping, this brave man can also overwhelm the overlord Wenhou, how can Bei be able to make such a person work for me?" Liu Bei was also frightened by this news. Still human?
"I congratulate Your Majesty. This is the fate of the Han Dynasty, so there are heroes and talents who voted!" Zhuge Liang hurriedly congratulated him, and his mood relaxed a lot. With such a person helping the Shu Han, maybe he himself assisted Liu Bei's dream of unifying the world can really come true.
"I congratulate Your Majesty, and congratulate the great man!" Qiao Zhou, Xu Jing and others also congratulated together, while Zhang Fei scratched his head anxiously. Why was he not present for such a lively event!
Ma Chao stroked his chest lightly. Since taking Shen Long's medicine, he felt that his health had gradually improved. Maybe in a few years, he would really be able to return to Xiliang to avenge his family's murder by Cao thief.
"Is there anything in Sichuan that can help Zifeng?" After being happy, Liu Bei asked quickly.
"Zifeng said that Anguo, Xingguo and others made rapid progress in Fancheng.
If there are still young talents in Sichuan, they should be sent to Fancheng for training! "Zhuge Liang replied, and then he took out a list for Liu Bei to review. These are all well-known juniors in Sichuan, both civil and military, and it is suitable to use this opportunity to exercise.
Liu Bei readily agreed, and quickly sent people to escort these people to Fancheng; Zhuge Liang continued to transport snow salt, Shu brocade, paper, and books to Cao Wei's territory in exchange for food, cattle, etc., and continuously sucked blood from Cao Wei through these luxuries.
After these young talents arrived in Fancheng, Shen Long summoned them one by one to inquire, and then arranged different jobs according to their abilities and specialties. Some led the army to fight like Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, and some worked with Ma Di to train their logistics and staff skills. Some were in charge of the law in the city, and some were sent to Jingzhou to manage the farmland.
Cao Pi still came to attack every day, but under Shen Long's strict defense, their attacks failed. Now more than a month has passed, Cao Pi still failed to attack the top of Fancheng, but left countless corpses to return to the city. There are wounded soldiers.
The wounded soldiers in Fancheng were rescued by special personnel. After emergency bandaging, they would be sent to the wounded soldiers camp in the city for proper care. Minor injuries would soon heal and return to the battlefield, and those with serious injuries would be sent back to Jingzhou for recuperation.
However, no one in Cao Wei's army knew the relevant knowledge about the care of wounded soldiers, and the death rate was several times higher than that of the Shu Han. In addition, they kept wailing in the barracks, which greatly shook the morale of Cao Wei's army.
Cao Pi also gradually realized that if it wasn't for a conspiracy, or if there were some internal changes in the Shu Han, it might be difficult to take down Fancheng, but Cao Pi was unwilling to retreat like this, so he had to postpone the attack to find the right time , the two sides continued to spend in Fancheng.
From spring to summer, the weather is getting warmer day by day. Cao Pi's army was originally mostly northerners, who were not used to the water and soil in the south. In addition, the temperature is getting hotter and mosquitoes are rampant, and the Wei army has a disease, and the people who get sick every day The number of soldiers is increasing, and now Jia Xu, Chen Qun, Liu Ye and others can't sit still.
One after another came to persuade Cao Pi to withdraw his troops, Cao Pi already had the intention to withdraw, so he put on a show, and under their begging, he still withdrew his troops.
After Cao Bing retreated, Shen Long chased after him for a while. Seeing that Cao Zhen was heavily guarded and there was no suitable opportunity for a while, he drove them out of Fancheng and ordered people to burn Cao Wei's camp to prevent the epidemic from spreading to Shu Han , Then ordered people to announce the good news to Guan Yu and Liu Bei.
Under the guard of the army, Cao Pi saw a lot of fertile land abandoned on both sides of the road from Fancheng to Wancheng along the way, and he felt uneasy at once. Of course he understood why these lands were abandoned. In the past few months, countless peasants were confiscated for transporting grain and grass. Hundreds of thousands of young adults in Nanyang and Runan have gone to transport grain and grass, so there is still time to farm.
Jia Xu and Chen Qun looked at each other and lamented in their hearts at the same time. Although this battle did not lose many soldiers and horses, it was a huge loss to Cao Wei's national power. In a short time, it is impossible to organize another war.
