It has been two days! Wei Yan really knelt there for two days! He didn't eat or drink in two days, and it was raining in Huainan. It had rained lightly in the past two days, but it really washed away Wei Yan's arrogance a lot.

"You figured it out!" Liu Mang appeared behind Wei Yan at some point.

"Hmm?!" Wei Yan was both physically and mentally exhausted. You should know that kneeling on the ground and motionless for two days and two nights is really not something that is done by one person, not to mention that Wei Yan was still injured, so Wei Yan didn't hear clearly at the beginning of Liu Mang's speech.

"I asked you to figure it out!" Liu Mang also repeated patiently.

"Me!" Wei Yan didn't know how to answer. He had been kneeling here for two days. In the past two days, he had also felt ashamed and angry, and had dissatisfaction with Liu Mang, but these dissatisfactions were gradually suppressed by a kind of frustration because he found that Liu Mang was not wrong. He only had martial arts skills, and he had no talent except this thing! This is a chaotic world that requires talents, but who knows whether you are a talent or not? Even if you know, then what, once he is not a gentry, he cannot get promoted without money! After so many years in Jingzhou, he is just a small team leader with more than a dozen people under his command, and two of them are empty-handed. Such a subordinate is not a common man in such a position!

Wei Yan can go back now, but after he goes back, will his life still live like before? He is doing it day by day? He is already in his thirty years this year, how many years will he have to go on like this? How many thirty years will he have in his life? He admits his conscience, but what he thinks is to join Liu Mang's command! After that, Wei Yan even wants to use Liu Mang as a springboard! He directly recognizes the master Lu Bu, or uses Liu Mang's army to train his soldiers. At the end of the day, he can rebel. If he has troops in hand, he will care about other things!

Isn't Wei Yan doing this on the trajectory of history? He killed Changsha prefect Han Xuan and defected to Liu Bei. Although Han Xuan was not very good, he treated Wei Yan sincerely. Wei Yan was just a small city gate captain. Han Xuan used Wei Yan to the point of being a small one. But how did Wei Yan treat Han Xuan? He directly killed Han Xuan with one sword, and even Huang Zhong next to him could not bear it.

So after subduing Liu Paopu with Wei Yan, Huang Zhong drew a clear boundary with Wei Yan! The reason why Zhuge Liang said to Wei Yan was not because Wei Yan really had a rebellious bone behind his head. Even if there was, it was also a matter of his parents' care. In fact, it was Wei Yan's attitude towards his old master Han Xuan! This led to Zhuge Liang's words to Liu Bei were that Wei Yan could kill Han Xuan and not be able to resist you for the sake of wealth!

"You don't need to say more!" Liu Mang would not listen to Wei Yan's words of loyalty. The more loyal such a person is expressed in front of you, the more problematic he will be!

"I'll give you two choices now!" Liu Mang stretched out two fingers indifferently. "First! Go back to your Jingzhou and continue to be your city gate captain! Just stay like this for the rest of your life!"

Stay for a lifetime! This sentence really made Wei Yan very sad. Hasn't he been so half a lifetime? He wanted to refute but didn't know where he spoke, so he could only remain silent.

"Second! I'll give you a chance to show your talents!" Liu Mang threw out his olive branch. Before Liu Mang could tell anything, Wei Yan had already spoken in a hoarse voice, "Wei Yan, Wei Wenchang is willing to drive the lord!"

"Haha, right! Urban Management Army! If you want to stay with me, you can! Go to Urban Management Army"

"Urban Management Army?" Wei Yan's originally tired body was greatly boosted. The Urban Management Army is one of the two elite soldiers in Liu Mang's hands! If you say the ace, it is the Urban Management Army! The Urban Management Army not only has heavy armor infantry, but also has a battalion of two hundred heavy armored cavalry! Wei Yan in Jingzhou has heard of the military achievements of this army, that is, they defended Wancheng. Sun Ce's 100,000 troops returned in a defeat. Who wouldn't want to command such a unit? But Wei Yan remembered again. The city management army already has a main general and deputy general! The main general is Cheng Yu. This man seems to be the original Bingzhou army, and there is also Huang Xu, the son of the veteran general who fought with him there. So where does Liu Mang give him a position!

"Ordinary soldier!" How could Liu Mang not know the puzzled look on Wei Yan's face. He wanted to take charge of the urban management army as soon as he opened? You, Wei Yan, are too arrogant to yourself! The urban management army is Liu Mang's direct line. How could he hand over the urban management army if it weren't for the person he thought he was most at ease!

Cheng Yu is the person Liu Mang is the most familiar to him! The first person he encountered when Liu Mang came to this world was Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu saved his life. On the contrary, the miracles brought by Liu Mang have long been impressed by Cheng Yu!

Huang Xu, the deputy general of the Urban Management Army, is also the son of Huang Zhong. He saved Huang Xu's life and was loyal to Huang Zhong's family. It can be said that the Huang family is already his Liu Mang's general! No matter what, the Huang family has been marked by Liu Mang, and Huang Zhong gave up the command of the army to protect himself. Therefore, in order to repay him, Liu Mang also had to give this position of deputy general to Huang Xu to avoid being disheartened, and Huang Xu is also a talent!

How could it be possible to let Liu Mang withdraw Cheng Yu or Huang Xu and let Wei Yan be the main general or deputy general? Wei Yan is only 50% sure of conquering him! So now he can only be a soldier of the city management army! I hope that this kind of lower level can polish Wei Yan's wolf ambitions!

"If you go! Then go find Cheng Yu! Don't you think you are talented and have good martial arts! You should know the rewards and punishments in our army! If you have confidence in yourself, go, and I won't force you if you don't go! Anyway, the mud can't support the wall, so the same thing is the case! Let's go there and leave!" Liu Mang took a few personal guards directly without waiting for Wei Yan to give the answer.

"Wei Yan, Wei Yan, don't let me down!" The reason why Liu Mang did not bring Huang Zhong this time was because Huang Zhong, Xu Sheng and Gan Ning had been arranged by Liu Mang on the way to leave Hefei. If Wei Yan chose to give up, then don't blame Liu Mang for being ruthless.

Liu Mang doesn't care about Wei Yan now! Because he needs to prepare for the war, Shouchun is still in Liu Paopuo's hands and must take him down. Otherwise, the entire Lujiang River will be really exposed to Liu Paopuo's sight. Moreover, Liu Mang has no waters to train the navy for him, and there is no place to repair the dock and build the dock warship. So what's the use of the craftsmen that Liu Biao got from Sun Ce after spending so much effort!

"Uncle Hong has found out clearly!" Liu Mang asked Yang Hong. Yang Hong is now fully responsible for the information of Liu Mang's army. The inside lines used are basically from Yuan Shu before, and Liu Mang also allocated three thousand gold to Yang Hong because Liu Mang knew the importance of intelligence to a force!

"Head of the family, I've found out clearly! Now in Shouchun is Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu and Guan Yun garrison. His subordinates have 10,000 soldiers! Most of them are Qingzhou soldiers." Yang Hong said with his head down. It's really good that Yang Hong is responsible for intelligence and diplomacy. "His main men are placed in the South Gate! There are about 7,000!"

"South Gate!" Liu Mang touched his beard, and only 10,000 soldiers and horses were placed in the south gate. The remaining three city gates were only one thousand! Isn't this southern gate the south direction of his own? It seems that Mr. Guan is really guarding himself! But what if he is more careful, he will make up for this Shouchun!

"Yuan Zhi, what do you think!" Liu Mang remembered that he had a top strategist, so why did he use his brains by himself!

"Shouchun, ten thousand people!" Xu Shu also received some information from Yang Hong. This Shouchun was built very strongly by Yuan Shu. Although it was later broken by Lao Cao, it was also because of the four dams. Cao Cao also stored the upstream Yingshui Huaihe Canal. At that time, Yuan Shu had already shrunk into Shouchun City. If Lao Cao really fought Shouchun even if he defeated Yuan Shu, Lao Cao would have been greatly damaged!

So Lao Cao went to dig four dams. It was like flooding Xia Pi and flooding Lao Yuan, and the terrain of Shouchun was already low! When Xia Pi was flooded, he could still lean on the city wall for a while, and the Shouchun flood might have been hidden from the city wall! What else could he do at that time?

So Yuan Shu had to withdraw from Shouchun, so in fact, the city wall of Shouchun was not damaged much! After the flood receded, Yuan Shu returned to Shouchun again and made a major repair to Shouchun! Yang Hong was responsible for the repair, and the four dams were also directly diverted by Yang Hong. Originally, the dam was used for the irrigation of the Huainan generation of Shouchun, but Yuan Shu's army was like that, and there were still a few people under his control! So he simply filled the dam. It was not the rainy season now, and it was completely unworkable to flood Shouchun!

"Lord, we can go to Lujiang first, repair the dock in Lujiang, build warships, and the Ganning navy directly attacks the northern gate of Shouchun from the Huaihe River, and then let the city management army and the black chess army attack the southern gate of Shouchun at the same time. In this way, Liu Bei's army will be defeated after division of troops!" Xu Shu said to Liu Mang.

"But it's like Liu Bei's increase in troops!" Yang Hong asked in a little confusion.

"Hehe, he wants to be able to fly over even if he wants to increase his troops!" Xu Shu knew the combat effectiveness of the navy under Liu Mang's command. Gan Ning could destroy 30,000 naval troops in Jiangdong with 7,000 people. Now the navy and the number of troops increased to 12,000, and Liu Bei had a total of 40,000 men. How many naval troops could Liu Bei have in his hands? Build ships from Lujiang, and he could completely block Liu Bei's large army north of Anfengjin on the Yingshui and Huaihe River. At that time, Guan Yu in Shouchun became an isolated army, so it would be better to just knead Liu Mang's army! Even if he didn't attack Shouchun, as long as he blocked the waterway, Shouchun's military rations would be used up sooner or later!

"Yuan Zhi's plan is good!" It feels good to have a strategist. He came up directly and was a desperate plan. According to Xu Shu's idea, Guan Erye really couldn't escape. Not only would the army lose its life, but his life might be lost. If there were no strategists, Liu Mang would directly send someone to attack! But now Liu Mang smiled and shook his head, "Yuan Zhi's plan is good, but our army does not have so much time!"

Lujiang can build a dock, but how big a dock can a county build? How much can it produce? Liu Mang is planning to build 50 warships and create the first fleet of inland rivers in Gan Ning! Liu Mang, the former building ship, didn't want to build it anymore! So he must build a new ship! The new ship needs to be launched to test it. Liu Mang doesn't want to be paid attention to Guan Yu in Shouchun at all times!

According to Xu Shu's idea, if the plan goes well, it will take half a year to win Shouchun, half a year! Half a year is too long and the variables are too big! So it is not possible!

"What does lord mean?" Xu Shu was a little confused. His plan was already the best, because Liu Mang's command is only 18,000 people now! The black chess army in the city management army is all heavy armored infantry battles in field battles. You can't let them consume it in the siege! Gan Ning's 10,000 naval troops are also good at controlling warships. If you attack the city alone, you will really lose a lot!

"Strong attack!" Liu Mang said the words Xu Shu was most reluctant to hear. Strong attack! Guan Yu had 10,000 troops under him, and Liu Mang only had less than 20,000! Guan Yu was not a vegetarian. He was also a general who had experienced many battles. Yang Hong also said that most of them were Qingzhou soldiers. Why did these Qingzhou soldiers sound so familiar? It was not familiar, but the old opponent of Lu Bu's army! Old Cao used Qingzhou soldiers as the main force to attack Xuzhou. They were originally the Yellow Turban Army that was determined by Lao Cao's battle. After so many years, the old, weak, sick and disabled have long died on the road. The remaining Yellow Turban Army are basically elite!

A total of 300,000 young and strong people. In addition, the family members were one million people, which also laid the foundation for Lao Cao to lay the entire Central Plains in the future!

Among the 300,000 Lao Cao drew 100,000 Qingzhou troops from the attack of Lu Bu, and formed the Qingzhou elite! Such elite troops were even more and more daring to fight to the death. Why? Because they were afraid of hunger, Lao Cao would give them a bite of food and a place to live, so they would work hard for Lao Cao. Moreover, the Qingzhou army had eaten human flesh for a bite of food! Although Cheng Yu really couldn't make the worst decision without military rations at that time, eating human flesh was a fact!

So these starving ghosts in Qingzhou are able to fight against the wolf cubs in Bingzhou under Lu Bu! Even because of Guo Jia, Lu Bu could not listen to Chen Gong's advice at that time, which led to the wolf cubs in defeating the starving ghosts!

Now Guan Yu has a starving ghost in Qingzhou with 10,000 troops! They were assigned by Cao Cao to Liu Bei, who asked him to help him conquer the world, but who knew that Liu Paopuo was not willing to be a younger brother and turned against him! Originally, Liu Bei had nearly 20,000 Qingzhou troops in his hands. In addition, he cut off the stomach of the car and took over the 20,000 Qingzhou troops in Xuzhou in Xuzhou. A total of 40,000 troops! Although he was beaten away by Cao, he still had 20,000 people left after he arrived in Runan! This 10,000 people were given to Guan Yu by Liu Paopuo.

If you attack strongly, it would be said that the eight thousand people under Liu Mang's command could not be defeated. After all, Shouchun City is not weaker than Wan City's defense. Sun Ce's 100,000 troops also lost 20,000 to 30,000, and 10,000 Danyang soldiers, which was added to the city wall. Liu Liu Mang had only 18,000 people under him! Ten thousand of them were still naval troops. If this was really a fight, I really didn't know if I could go up to the city wall!

Even if you take down the city wall, you will suffer heavy losses. There are only two ways left for Liu Mang. You either retreat to Lujiang or ask for help from Lu Bu. It’s really good to be embarrassed to be like this after you come out!

"My lord must not attack him!" Xu Shu was really afraid that Liu Mang would become arrogant and arrogant after fighting so many battles. If he was stubborn, why would he do Xu Shu?

"Yuan Zhi! Do you think I am the kind of joker!" Liu Mang looked at Xu Shu with a smile and attacked forcefully. If Old Man Chen Gong or Lu Bu were here, he would think that Liu Mang was stupid. Attack was always the plan that was implemented in the end without any plans. Just like Lu Bu attacked Bagong Mountain! Attacked forcefully, Bagong Mountain would be broken, but the loss was too great, so the path to climb the mountain after Zang Ba was brought up.

"But lord!" Xu Shu was still very hurried, but Yang Hong on the other hand expressed his indifference.

"Yuan Zhi! Look at Uncle Hong, your qi cultivation skills are not yet good!" Liu Mang joked.

"Lord, this is not because you nourish qi or not!" Gentlemen and scholars like to nourish qi. The nourishing qi here is not about learning Taoism, but about calmness. He must have a calm mind to analyze everything, and be very calm no matter what happens! Mount Tai collapses on the face and does not change his expression. This is the cultivation of qi to a certain level! But Liu Mang is now nourishing qi! He is completely self-willed and constantly persuading! "Lord, you have to know how much the loss of our army is! At least half of it will die. Even if you take Shouchun, it will not be worth the loss!"

"Half of them died? Yuan Zhi, you are too proud of Guan Erye in Shouchun!" Liu Mang stretched out a finger.

"There is a layer of casualties? Impossible! Lord, you underestimate Guan Yu and Guan Yun too much!" Xu Shu had only two people who were optimistic about before coming to Liu Mang's place, one was Liu Mang and the other was Liu Bei! The reason why he was optimistic about Liu Bei was because Liu Bei had a general, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei and Chen Dao! These three people were all people who could command troops and resist one side! Moreover, Liu Bei's command lacked counselors, and top strategists like Xu Shu! So Xu Shu would definitely be valued when he arrived there, and later the black fat man went there first, and Xu Shu became a little calmer. With him, Xu Shu could only add icing on the cake in the past, but he could not help him in time, so he wanted to go and see Liu Mang's recruitment order first.

The combat effectiveness of Guan Yu and the Qingzhou soldiers under his command is definitely not weaker than that of Liu Mang's city management army and the Black Chess Army! Moreover, how can the Black Chess Army climb the city wall with a 100-pound armor? How can it attack the city!

"First layer? No no!" Liu Mang shook his head. "I'm not talking about the first layer, but that no one is hurt! If Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang know each other, I will let him live. If he doesn't know what to think, then leave me in Shouchun!" Liu Mang's lips curled up. He didn't want to kill Guan Yu so early, but if Guan Erye didn't give face, he could only turn Shouchun into his Maicheng!

"Lord, what's wrong with you!" Xu Shu found that Liu Mang was a little crazy, not hurt anyone? He still wanted to leave Guan Yu? This is not a crazy crazy, what's wrong!

"Haha! It seems that if you don't take Yuanzhi, you won't believe what I said!" Liu Mang patted Xu Shu on the shoulder and said, "Let's go Yuanzhi! You'll know when you arrive!" (To be continued...)
