Then, Ying Wu's eyes swept over the faces of the generals under his command one by one.

All the generals understood that Yingwu was going to choose a general to guard Huai Ling, and they immediately raised their heads, expecting to be selected by Yingwu.

Especially Zhang Liao and others, after surrendering to Yingwu, they still haven't achieved an inch of merit, and they are eager to be selected by Yingwu.

After scanning around, Yingwu said, "Gao Shun, where is Cheng Lian?

Gao Shun and Cheng Lian were overjoyed, and immediately came out: "The last general is here."

"Gao Shun is the general and Cheng Lian is the deputy general. I will give you three thousand soldiers and horses. Do you have the confidence to defend Huai Ling for seven days?"

Gao Shun and Cheng Lian looked at each other, they clasped their hands together and said, "The final general wishes to issue a military order."

Ying Wu said lightly: "There is no need for a military order. With the abilities of the two of you, as long as you don't leave the city, it shouldn't be a problem to stick to it for seven days."

"After seven days, I will raise my troops to Huai Ling."

"Hey, at that time, it's time for Yuan Shu to fall under Huai Ling City."

Chapter 041

After Gao Shun and Cheng Lian took the order, they led [-] soldiers, horses, food and grass, and set off immediately.

Two days later, Gao Shun and Cheng Lian led troops into Huai Ling City.

After preparing for a whole day, Yuan Shu also arrived with [-] troops.

After Yuan Shu arrived, he set up camp and built siege equipment at the same time.

What surprised Gao Shun and Cheng Lian was that Yuan Jun only started attacking the city on the third day.

At the beginning, Yuan Jun's offensive was very fierce, and Gao Shun and Cheng Lian exhausted all their skills to barely hold Huai Ling City.

However, after three consecutive days of attacking, Yuan Shu's aura weakened, and his offensive began to weaken.

Yuan Shu was naturally very dissatisfied and came to the city to supervise the army in person.

"Let me attack. If Huai Ling cannot be captured today, all the soldiers attacking the city will be beheaded for public display."

"The first person to ascend to Huai Ling City will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold, granted the title of Marquis of the Township, and bestowed four beauties."

In order to win Huai Ling City earlier, Yuan Shu's rewards were quite generous.

It was another day of onslaught. Huai Ling City seemed to be crumbling, but it stubbornly blocked Yuan Jun's onslaught.

Today is the fifth day, and Yuan Jun's casualties are close to [-].

The [-] defenders of Huai Ling City also lost almost half.

However, all the Qin soldiers were desperate to fight.

Although the remaining Qin army is only [-], there is absolutely no problem if you persist for another four or five days.

Under the city, seeing that it was getting late, General Qiao Rui suggested to Yuan Shu: "Your Majesty, it is getting late, our army is exhausted and morale is gone, why not attack tomorrow."

"Waste, waste..." Yuan Shu raised his horsewhip and lashed at Qiao Rui several times, furious, "[-] troops, attacking for five days in a row, can't take down even a small Huai Ling."

"You trash, these stupid pigs, how do you usually train soldiers for me?"

Qiao Rui was whipped a few times, although he was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to speak out.

Only then did Yuan Shu's anger subside a little, and he turned to Zhang Xun and asked, "Who is the guard in the city?"

Zhang Xun replied, "It's Lu Bu's old generals Gao Shun and Cheng Lian."

Gao Shun?

Cheng Lian?

Yuan Shu frowned slightly.

Lu Bu was defeated by Li and Guo and had to leave Chang'an. The first one was to defect to him.

Because of Lu Bu's arrogance and wanton plundering, Yuan Shu was dissatisfied, so he drove Lu Bu away, and Lu Bu went north to join Yuan Shao.

During the time when Lu Bu was in Huainan, Yuan Shu really coveted several generals under Lu Bu's command.

Among them is Gao Shun.

Gao Shun's military strength is not too high, but what he is best at is attacking and defending cities.

There are [-] camps under Gao Shun's command, absolutely invincible, and no city cannot be defended.

Lu Bu once said that Gao Shun's defense of the city was difficult for even him to break through.

"Damn..." Yuan Shu yelled again, "Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and the others, are they all blind, and they defected to a small thief, and I am so angry."

Qi is useless, with Gao Shun around, I am afraid that it is almost impossible to win Huai Ling within a few days.

Seeing this, Qiao Rui immediately persuaded: "Your Majesty, if we continue to attack, it will only increase casualties, so we should withdraw our troops first."

Although Yuan Shu was not reconciled, he could tell that the soldiers besieging the city were simply dealing with it.

If they don't withdraw troops, it will be true as Qiao Rui said, and the casualties will only increase.

"Ming Jin withdraws troops." Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and burst out these words.

The fat on his face trembled and his eyes, which were not big at all, were even narrowed. Yuan Shu felt extremely angry and resentful.

Gao Shun and Cheng Lian also breathed a sigh of relief seeing Yuan Jun retreating again.

"Boping, today is the seventh day, and we have fulfilled the order the Lord has ordered."

Gao Shun took off his helmet, put it on the wall, and nodded: "Although Yuan's army is numerous, its fighting power is completely incomparable to that of Cao's army in Yanzhou."

"If these [-] soldiers and horses are replaced by Cao Jun, I'm afraid we can hold on for three days."

Cheng Lian laughed and said, "My lord is wise, if Cao's army really attacked the city, my lord will only let us hold on for three days."

"Okay, Boping, Yuan Jun has retreated, you can go back and have a rest."

"Tonight, I am on duty for the first half of the night, and you are on duty for the second half of the night."

"Okay." Gao Shun nodded, picked up his helmet, turned around and went down the tower.

But when Yuan Shu retreated to the camp, it was completely different from when he was under the city.

Food and drink are ready.

The singing and dancing are also ready.

Drinking fine wine, eating delicacies, and enjoying the singing and dancing, Yuan Shu had long forgotten the fact that he was defeated in the siege for five consecutive days.

"Unfortunately, the queen didn't come." After admiring the singing and dancing for a while, Yuan Shu felt dull.

There are many beauties in Yuan Shu Palace, but Empress Feng Shi is the most charming.

Moreover, Feng is good at singing and dancing, every frown, smile, and every move can exude endless charm.

There are many concubines in Yuan Shu's harem, but he only loves Feng Shi the most.

Later, the rest of the concubines united to spread rumors and slander the Feng family in front of Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu kept a little distance from the Feng family.

However, every time he enjoys singing and dancing, Yuan Shu can't help thinking of Mrs. Feng.

Suddenly Yuan Shu remembered something, turned to Qiao Rui and asked, "Zhongwei, I heard that you have two daughters under your knees, one named Daqiao and the other Xiaoqiao."

"These two girls are both beautiful and beautiful."

"You are my subject. If you have a daughter like this, you must be sent to the palace."

"I will not treat the two of them badly. If they are so beautiful, they will all be noble concubines, and their status is only below that of Empress Feng. I don't know what Zhongwei wants?"

Qiao Rui's heart was beating wildly, but Yuan Shu never expected Yuan Shu to set his mind on his two precious daughters.

Daqiao and Xiaoqiao are Qiao Rui's heart and soul. How could he marry his beautiful and well-educated baby daughter to Yuan Shu, a big meatball?

Not to mention, Qiao Rui could have guessed that Yuan Shu's Dazhong Dynasty would never last long.

Looking at Yuan Shu's smiling face of Maitreya Buddha, Qiao Rui was even more frightened.

He knew that behind this hypocritical smile was a strong murderous intent.

As long as he dared to refuse, Yuan Shu would now accuse him of collaborating with the enemy, cut off his head, and ransacked his mansion.

As soon as his eyes rolled, Qiao Rui also thought about it.

With a forced smile, Qiao Rui replied: "Your Majesty, the last general has two daughters, and they are pretty pretty."

"It's just that the daughters are all young, so they don't understand etiquette, and they are still teaching at the end."

"Why don't we wait for the little girls to learn the etiquette, and then send them to the palace to serve His Majesty. I wonder what His Majesty would like?"

Yuan Shu immediately waved his hand and said calmly: "I am a generous person, how can I have the same knowledge as a couple of girls."

"Zhongwei, age is not a problem, and it doesn't matter if you don't know etiquette."

"There are people who teach etiquette in the palace, why don't you teach it yourself?"

"When I take Xuzhou and return to Shouchun triumphantly, you will send the big and small bridges into the palace."

Qiao Rui still hesitated, but seeing the murderous intent in Yuan Shu's small eyes, he didn't dare to shirk again: "The final general will obey the order."

Chapter 042

At this time, Zhang Xun came in from the outside.

This time, Zhang Xun is the main general, and Qiao Rui and Chen Lan are the deputy generals.

However, Yuan Shuyu led the expedition personally, and Zhang Xun, the chief general, was equivalent to the deputy general.

Zhang Xun passed the dancer, came to the front, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, our army's food and grass are only enough for three days. I don't know when the prince raised the food and grass, when will it be delivered?"

Only three days?

Yuan Shu frowned slightly, and immediately turned his head to look at Yuan Huan: "Qing Yao, how is the prince raising food and grass?"

Yuan Huan sighed slightly, he was a loyal minister, and he couldn't understand Yuan Shu disregarding the life and death of the people and only caring about his own enjoyment.

Yuan Huan had no choice but to persuade him many times to no avail.

Yuan Huan replied: "According to the news brought by the detailed work, the crown prince has already raised [-] shi of grain and grass, and it will be delivered in three days at the latest."

Yuan Huan knew how the crown prince Yuan Yao raised the [-] stone grain and grass.

There was a severe drought in Huainan, and there was no harvest. There was no food in the treasury.

The [-] stones of food and grass were snatched by Yuan Yao from the homes of the common people.

Yuan Shu was overjoyed: "The prince is so capable, I am so relieved."

"My Great Zhong Dynasty has a wise king like me, and a prince as wise as this. How can it not be possible to unify the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty?"

"Pass down the decree, after the food and grass are delivered, reward the three armies, stimulate their morale, and defeat Huai Ling in one battle."

"Then, our army can drive straight in, take Xiaqiu, attack Lu, and approach the city of Xiapi."

"Hmph, that little thief has at most 4 soldiers and horses, how can he stop my [-]-strong army from attacking?"

"After capturing that little thief alive, I will definitely tear him into pieces."

……

Above the Huai River.

Yuan Jun's grain transport ships are mighty, more than 100 ships, full of grain and grass, are going down the Huai River to Huai Ling.

On the main boat, although young, Yuan Yao, who had begun to put on weight, stood at the bow, looking at the water surface of the Huai River, with a haughty smile on the corner of his mouth.

Beside Yuan Yao is Yuan Shao's general Chen Lan.

Chen Lan clasped her hands and said, "His Royal Highness, the food and drinks are ready, please enter the cabin."

"What cabin?" Yuan Yao frowned and shouted, "Have someone bring the food and drinks to the deck."

"Blowing the wind, looking at the scenery, drinking wine, this is life."

"Here." Chen Lan didn't dare to disobey her orders, and immediately went to make arrangements.

After a while, the two tables were set up, and the tables were filled with wine and vegetables.

The two drank for a while, and a scout arrived, bringing the latest battle report from Huai Ling.

Chen Lan took it, glanced at it, and couldn't help but change slightly.
