System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

Attacking a city is a job that consumes a lot of patience.

In the first half month of the siege, neither side will generally do anything.

It won't even touch the city wall.

Wood is needed to forge weapons.

This thing was extremely time-consuming, and the soldiers and civilians needed to cut down trees nearby to build siege equipment.

Fortunately, Dong Yu has always attached great importance to craftsmen, so there are more than 2,000 craftsmen in Dong’s army.

While the military equipment was being manufactured, Feng Fang and Li Dian also began to work on diverting the Mian River upstream.

boom--

"Bastard!"

"This letter must not be seen by the soldiers, otherwise the city will be in danger of being defended."

Liu Biao slammed the letter on the table.

He said that only Liu Biao would be killed, and the rest would be safe as long as they surrendered.

"It's just a strategy to attack the heart."

"Fortunately, the enemy didn't shoot many letters, so the impact wasn't significant."

Kuai Liang shook his head and spoke in a comforting voice.

The reason why Dong Yu did not shoot a large number of letters into the city was because he took into consideration that the literacy rate of the civilians and soldiers was not high, and even if they picked up the letters, they would probably not be able to understand them.

So these letters are actually meant for those who hold military power.

As long as they have second thoughts, the subsequent siege will be much easier.

"Humph."

"Where are Jiangdong's troops?"

"Why is there still no movement after several days?"

Liu Biao asked everyone with a serious face.

Most of Jiangdong’s navy was stationed in Chaisang.

Chaisang is only a few days' journey away from Jiangxia, so the Jiangdong navy should have arrived in Jiangxia.

"It should be soon."

"Our people have already evacuated Jiangxia with money and food."

Huang Zu said with a gloomy expression.

Jiangxia was a place he had run for many years, and Huang Zu was somewhat unhappy about giving it to Jiangdong all of a sudden.

"Chengde, don't worry, wait until we drive away the thief Dong."

"I will send a large army to aid you, and then we can take Jiangxia back."

Liu Biao naturally understood Huang Zu's thoughts and immediately spoke to comfort him.

"For the sake of the king's legacy, I have nothing to say."

Upon hearing this, Huang Zu also expressed his attitude.

"Alright, Chengde, please hurry back to Fancheng to deploy the defenses. You will make your own decisions on military matters. I trust you."

Liu Biao smiled and said to Huang Zu.

"Farewell."

Huang Zu bowed and walked out of the hall.

...

Inside Xiangyang City

Zhuge Liang lowered his head with a gloomy look on his face.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were beside him, chattering incessantly.

"Why did Huang Zu refuse your marriage proposal, Ge Liang?"

"I heard that the Huang family girl is ugly. Why did she reject you?"

"Don't worry, even though I look down on you, you're one of us. I'll help you get an explanation."

Zhang Fei said with gritted teeth.

"That's right, at worst we can just snatch the person away."

Guan Yu also nodded in agreement.

"I told you not to follow me. I'll go talk to you on my own."

"You all have such bad tempers, what if you blow it?"

Zhuge Liang said helplessly.

"Bah bah bah."

"What's the point of blowing or not blowing?"

"With my second brother and I here, is it still possible to blow it?"

"Just watch over you."

Zhang Fei slapped Zhuge Liang on the shoulder, as if to say, "I've done this for you today."

He was almost saying that Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying could enter the bridal chamber tonight.

Zhuge Liang was helpless. He had said many times that he would find a way to talk to the Huang family himself.

If Huang Zu disagrees, talk to Huang Zu.

If Huang Rong disagrees, talk to Huang Rong.

They were all civilized people, and he really didn't want to bring these two idiots along.

If everything in the world could be solved with fists alone, you wouldn't have been beaten all the way to Jingzhou.

In a blink of an eye, the three of them arrived outside the Huang family mansion.

At this time, Huang Zu had just settled his family affairs and was about to go to Fancheng when he saw a group of three people coming towards him.

"Oh, you came here just because you knew I was going to garrison Fancheng?"

"Your abilities aren't great, but your enthusiasm makes me quite satisfied."

"Let's go, follow me to Fancheng."

Huang Zu sneered and said to the three of them.
