This time, Liu He not only successfully won Qiao Rui's family, but also successfully recruited the general Chen Dao. Not only did he get a first-class general, but he also increased his combat power by two thousand Bai Li soldiers. Even Pei Yuanshao was equivalent to a quasi-second-rate general with 78 military power with the bonus of Chen Dao, which greatly improved the combat capabilities of the army. It can be said that he gained a lot.

Of course, Liu He did not slacken because he was just in his infancy, and he was short of both the combat power of the army and the weapons and equipment of horses. Until now, there are still many soldiers under his command holding sticks as weapons.

One night half a month later, Liu He and Guo Jia were drinking wine while sighing to Guo Jia: "Alas, although my reputation is constantly improving, this is limited to the reputation among the people, but among the powerful clans, I really hope that I can win the help of those big clans. But think about it, what can I bring to those big clans? Why do they help me? Well, after nearly a month of training, my soldiers under my command have also had a certain amount of combat power, especially the five hundred elite soldiers under Qiao Rui and my two thousand three hundred Baili soldiers, which are definitely elite soldiers. If we can win a big victory at this time, we will definitely win the heartfelt support of the powerful gentry. Haha, military advisor, if we wait until the situation stabilizes, we will go to suppress the bandits?"

But Guo Jia laughed and said, "My lord, you don't have to worry about war, because a big war will come soon. Yuan Shu suffered such a huge loss under your hands. Not only did the general Qiao Rui and 500 elite soldiers be kidnapped away by you, but even another general Mei Cheng was killed. How could he swallow this? Therefore, he would definitely send troops. Although our army has trained for a month and has greatly improved its combat capability, it has never been on the battlefield or seen blood. So if we directly dragged out to suppress the bandits, we may lose more than we win. So we just need to wait for the enemy to attack the city, and then we defend based on favorable terrain. Not only can we achieve the purpose of training, but we can also defeat the enemy, win morale and people's hearts, and gain the hearts of local tyrants. This is a good thing that can be achieved in one fell swoop."

"By the way, the military advisor said that Yuan Shu will send someone to attack soon. Can we win? I mean, although Yuan Shu is incompetent, he has sufficient soldiers and food. If he really leads the army, his army will be unable to protect himself..."

"Haha, the lord is worried about this. Although Yuan Shu has many soldiers, he also has concerns. There is Liu Biao in the south and Cao Cao in the north. If you want to draw a large army to attack us, Cao Cao will doubt his intentions first. Liu Biao has long been thinking about his Nanyang. I believe that even if Yuan Shu is stupid, he will never dare to mobilize troops to attack us. However, he will definitely find a way to instigate the bandits in Runan and Yingchuan to deal with us. Those bandits are our main enemies at this stage. Of course, they are also the biggest victims who fund our soldiers and food." Guo Jia said calmly with a confident look on his face.

"No wonder the military advisor started ordering the deployment of city defense very early. The reason is that the military advisor is awesome, and I admire him." Liu He and Guo Jia drank a drink together and said with a smile.

Guo Jia laughed loudly when he heard this: "The lord is joking. If it weren't for the lord's enthronement, the lower official's mind wouldn't be so good. To be honest, it's because of the lord's enthronement. It's because the lord is too strong."

The two of them praised each other. Just as they were about to end the banquet, they suddenly saw Liao Hua, the general guarding the city, breaking in and shouted: "Lord, no, there are foreign enemies attacking, and the city is full of bandits, which seems to be tens of thousands, and most of them I know, they are all cruising in Runan, Yingchuan generation of Yellow Turbans, He Yi, Liu Pi, Gong Du, Huang Shao, He Man and others, these people shouted for treasures, threatening that it would be fine if the lord presented the treasure, otherwise they would definitely kill into the city and tear the lord to pieces... Bah, anyway, the thieves are strong and all are very arrogant, otherwise we would give the turmoil to them, which would be of no use anyway..."

At this time, Liu He laughed and said, "Don't worry, Yuan Jian, it's just a group of mobs, and it doesn't pose a threat to us. This is instead an opportunity for us. As long as we annex some of the Yellow Turban Remnants, our strength will be improved to another level. Haha, military advisor, let's go up the city tower together and observe the enemy situation."

With the previous conversation with Guo Jia, Liu He was already very confident, so he didn't care about the so-called tens of thousands of bandit soldiers. Instead, he pulled Guo Jia and Liao Hua and went to the city tower to observe the enemy situation with great enthusiasm.

When I looked up, I saw the bandits all over the mountains and surrounded the four gates of the city. The bandits were clearly divided, with their own leaders as the core and each camped and set up camps. He Yi's army was stationed at the south gate, Huang Shao's army was stationed at the north gate, He Man's army was stationed at the west gate, Gong Du and Liu Pi's army were stationed at the east gate, and the bandits were large in number and murderous intent was full of people, which made people feel disgusted.

"Lord, our army has only less than 7,000 people. It is not easy to win the battle." Liao Hua couldn't help but look gloomy and deeply worried when he saw this.

Although Liu He was also very worried, as the leader of the three armies, he did not show it. Instead, he smiled faintly: "Yuan Jian doesn't have to worry. I have a plan to defeat the enemy, and the thief is not worth worrying."

Guo Jia, who was standing beside him, was smiling, as if he was confident.

When Liu He saw Guo Jia's expression, he knew that Guo Jia must have had some conspiracy in his heart. He was calm and prepared to wait until no one was there to ask Guo Jia.

At this moment, the thieves under the city seemed to see Liu He and the others, so they shouted loudly: "Listen to the defenders on the top of the city, I am Wang Sanhei, the general under the command of Gong Du, the commander of the Qu in Runan. I hereby advise you to be the heroes of the times and hand over the treasures. Otherwise, we will break through your city and kill all your people. Even your master will kill you to vent your anger. Our four armies have a total of more than 100,000 people. With these thousands of people in your city, there is no possibility of victory."

Liu He smiled coldly when he heard this. He was about to speak, but Guo Jia, who was beside him, said loudly: "You traitors, want to take my land and kill my population. You must have such ability. Don't think that you have some military strength and can do whatever you want. Behind us, we have the support of tens of thousands of people in the city, and the help of officers and soldiers in other places around us. Don't say nonsense, if you don't have any treasures, we will accompany you to the end!"

Guo Jia said, signaling Zhou Cang, who was eager to try, to shoot the Wang Sanhei.

Because Wang Sanhei was fearless, he occupied only sixty steps from the top of the city, even an ordinary archer could shoot, let alone Zhou Cang, who had great power?

Zhou Cang nodded when he heard this, picked up a bow and arrow, and shot Wang Sanhei with one arrow. However, Zhou Cang's arrow technique was too bad. This arrow did not hit Wang Sanhei. However, he heard another person screaming. It turned out that his arrow had deviated from the target and accidentally shot Liu Pi's throat not far behind Wang Sanhei. As a result, Liu Pi died bizarrely.

"Kill! Crack the city for me, and then slaughter the city for three days!" Gong Du, who was beside Liu Pi, was startled when he saw this, quickly took back twenty or thirty steps, and then shouted with courage.
