Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Lu Bu had no doubt at all that Yuan Shu might become emperor, and in his dream he was almost lured into a pirate ship by Yuan Shu.

Thinking about myself in the dream, I was really hopelessly stupid. I believed in slander and was fooled around by Chen Gui and Chen Deng, father and son. I knew that Gao Shun was loyal but I didn't listen to his advice and even deliberately suppressed him.

Fortunately, I met Amo in this life, and I will never go wrong as long as I listen to her.

Zhang Mo said, "This time, the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou and Yuan Shu are battling Cao Cao. Yanzhou seems to be in jeopardy, but with Yuan Shao's help, the outcome is still uncertain. This battle is crucial for Cao Cao. If he wins, he can recruit the Yellow Turbans and greatly increase his strength. If he loses, both Yuan and Cao will soon fade from history."

Lu Bu raised his hand to smooth her slightly furrowed brow. "Don't think too much. We can't interfere with Yanzhou. All you need to do now is eat more, sleep more, and take good care of your body."

He held her and sat her on his lap, his palm resting on her belly, "No medicine was used this time, there should be a small dumpling inside, right?"

Zhang Mo hugged his neck and smiled sweetly, "We'll know after a while."

The fragrance of her body filled his nose, and Lu Bu was a little moved. He couldn't help but press a kiss on her forehead and said, "Transfer Mr. Wenhe back. Let him think about the brain-intensive things from now on."

Ever since Jia Xu became the governor of Hedong, Zhang Mo had been the one making plans for all matters big and small in Bingzhou. She was indeed a little overwhelmed and had not considered some things carefully. Whenever she was hesitant, Zhang Mo would ask Lu Zhi for advice. However, this was not a long-term solution after all.

Bingzhou is in dire need of civil officials and counselors!

"Who will be the governor of Hedong?"

Lu Bu said, "Hedong has been stabilized. There's no problem letting your cousin Wang Ling take over as governor. We originally asked Mr. Wenhe to bring him along to train him. After all, he's a scion of a prominent family, so he's well-educated and intelligent. Mr. Wenhe says he's a quick learner and capable of handling important tasks."

Zhang Mo only remembered a little bit about her cousin's history, which was that in his later years, he was dissatisfied with Sima Yi's monopoly of government, and seemed to have joined forces with someone to cause trouble. However, he was ultimately unable to defeat Sima Yi, and committed suicide after the incident was exposed.

It is normal that he cannot defeat Sima Yi. However, from the fact that he can challenge Sima Yi, it can be seen that his official position at that time should not be low. To be able to become a high-ranking official, he must have no lack of ability. Moreover, Jia Wenhe said that he is capable of taking on important tasks, so he should be truly capable of taking on important tasks. It's just that he is still a little young, only nineteen years old this year, and I am afraid that young people are too impetuous.

"There's nothing major happening in Bingzhou right now. Let Mr. Wenhe guide him. At least we need to do a good job of handing over the situation. Nothing can happen in Hedong."

"Well, it's all up to you!"

He placed his lips next to her ears, gently caressing her belly with his large palms, and whispered, "I wonder if the seeds have been planted. Let's try harder..."

"It's not dark yet..."

She giggled and dodged him, then changed the subject, "You've been issuing this call for talent for so long, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Why don't I go find some counselors myself?"

"Who are you looking for?"

Zhang Mo thought for a moment, "Those who are worthy of being ranked among the Three Kingdoms are either following Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, or are too far away. Only Guo Jia from Yingchuan should still be a free agent, so we can try to win him over."

"Guo Fengxiao?" Lü Bu's expression froze. "In my dream, this guy was the one who advised Cao Mengde to flood Xia Pi City."

Zhang Mo smiled and said, "So you have to kidnap him now and let him give you advice on how to deal with Cao Cao in the future."

Lu Bu's eyes lit up. "Madam, you are right! I will send people to find this man and bring him to Bingzhou even if I have to tie him up."

"That's exactly right!" Zhang Mo agreed. No matter whether Guo Jia was willing or not, she must not let him go to Boss Cao.

"There's also the young man Fa Zheng, who can be invited in advance..."

The couple talked about kidnapping for a while, and then started talking about poaching. Zhang Mo subconsciously decided that Yuan Shao would be the first to be eliminated, and imagined who could be poached after his demise. She made a list of names one by one and sent an eagle to deliver it to Guan Hai in Yecheng.

After coveting Yuan Shao's people, she thought of Zhao Yun, the person she cared about the most in Gongsun Zan's hands. However, Bingzhou now wanted to form an alliance with Gongsun Zan, so the poaching had to be put on hold.

Wei County, Jizhou, Yecheng.

The weather in late autumn was already very cold, and the cold wind gave people goose bumps layer after layer. However, what made people feel even colder in their hearts was the densely packed bandit army outside the city. The camp tents were really endless.

Weijun Governor Li Cheng stood on the city wall, tightening his cloak. He asked, "Any news about Zhang Yang's troops?"

Chunyu Qiong, the defender of Ye City, shook his head. "Not really. Although the enemy army only surrounded three sides of the city, they had blocked all the main roads leading to Ye City, especially the one leading to Wucheng. They had set up numerous obstacles along the way, and behind them were archers. Zhang Yang's troops had no chance of getting through."

When Yuan Shao led his troops to Yanzhou, he naturally considered the safety of Yecheng. In addition to Chunyu Qiong, he also left Zhang Yang in Wucheng to coordinate with Yecheng.

According to the Black Mountain bandits' previous fighting style, they would send their army to surround any city they liked, relying on their numerical advantage to swarm in all at once without paying any attention to tactics.

Yuan Shao knew the habit of the Heishan, so he left Zhang Yang's cavalry outside. Relying on the high and strong walls of Yecheng, the result of the Heishan swarming in was that they would be attacked from both sides. To be on the safe side, he also left Xu You to help Li Cheng and Chunyu Qiong.

However, what Yuan Shao did not expect was that this time the bandits did not adopt their previous fighting style. Instead, they changed their impulsive and arrogant habits and methodically blocked all passages, blocking all possible troops coming to support Yecheng, turning the city into a completely isolated one.

"Then we can only defend the city to the death!" Li Cheng said, "As long as everyone in the city works together, the enemy army will retreat if they can't break through."

Chunyu Qiong was not optimistic. The enemy army had brought so many siege equipment and mobilized such a large number of troops. How could they retreat easily without getting some benefits?

…………

Yecheng is bordered by the Zhang River to the north and the Qi River to the south. The city walls are more than three meters high and the garrison in the city is sufficient. Although Heishan has a large number of people and strong forces, it is still very difficult to capture such a city.

On the third day after the enemy arrived at the city gates, Heishan began to attack. After two days of manpower assault, there was no hope of breaking the city. Yu Du then wanted to dig the Zhang River to flood the city.

What the Black Mountain Army lacked the least was labor. In just a few days, they dug up the Zhang River and poured water in. However, Yecheng had three rivers passing through it and had a well-developed water system. When Xu You saw them digging the Zhang River, he also ordered the soldiers in the city to dig channels to drain the flood, and the Black Mountain water attack plan failed.

Yu Du wanted to build a slope outside the city to enter the city. It just so happened that the soil that had been dug up earlier was piled outside the city, and it was convenient to use. By sending tens of thousands of people to carry soil for a few days, they could fill up a slope that was almost as high as the city wall.

Yu Du used catapults to throw stones for cover, and ordered his soldiers to carry soil to fill the slope. After a few days, a slope leading up to the city was built.

However, the slope built in a hurry was not very wide, and only about a hundred people could stand side by side. The ground was soft, which was not conducive to charging. The city wall behind the slope was also full of officers and soldiers, so it was not easy to attack.

Yu Du then summoned all the leaders to brainstorm, and actually helped these bandits come up with a clever plan to break into the city.
