Chapter 54 Liu Bei’s Outrageous Move Xiahou Dun: Do you think I’m blind?
On the other side, Liu Bei was still attacking, but the intensity of his attack was not strong.

All the attempts were just attempts. They had long given up the idea of ​​breaking through because Ji Hao's wall was too strong. There was no way to break through it unless Ji Hao opened the door himself.

But because the city gate used the "Dragon-Breaking Stone", Liu Bei always thought it was fake.

I have been looking for other entrances, but after months of searching, I have not found any.

He tried several tricks and deliberately exposed flaws in an attempt to lure the army out, but Xiahou Dun remembered Ji Hao's orders and refused to come out.

In the end, Liu Bei, at such a young age, had a few white hairs.

But he became more calm.

"I have completely seen through the thief Ji's plan. He doesn't dare to fight us head-on, so he deliberately built a wall to wear us down!" Liu Bei said, "But I, Liu Bei, will not be fooled! I will open up wasteland and cultivate land in Xuzhou, and keep fighting him until he can't hold on any longer!"

In terms of talent and the ability to use people well, Liu Bei might just be average, but not necessarily the best among all emperors.

But when it comes to the tenacity of one's mind, he is definitely one of the best.

There is no other person in history who could have been defeated so many times but still refused to give up and finally rose again.

So, Ji Hao could defeat him, but could not defeat him.

I can kill him, but I can't make him surrender.

"But, Ji the thief has always been arrogant and domineering. We have blocked him for such a long time, but he has no reaction at all. This is not normal!" Yuan Shu said while picking at his fingernails, "He doesn't have any other conspiracy, does he?"

Lu Bu also deeply agreed with this.

He said, "Will they attack Donghai, or my Yanzhou?"

"You have already asked Gao Shun to lead his troops to ambush at the border of Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Dongguan. If he really sends out his troops, he will suffer heavy losses!" Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Over to the East China Sea, I have sent my second brother Guan Yu to go there. If he dares to come out, he will definitely be dealt a head-on blow!"

After careful consideration, no aspect is missing.

In the end, everyone felt relieved and rested on the spot.

Liu Bei even recruited soldiers in Xuzhou to expand his army in order to prepare for the final decisive battle.

It's true that he was in the name of righteousness, and was the emperor's uncle and the king with a strong backing. This was really useful. In just half a year, the number of troops doubled.

It reached as many as one hundred thousand.

Together with Tao Qian's troops, the number reached 150,000, even exceeding that of Yuan Shu.

Training has not been neglected either.

With the money, food, weapons and equipment supplied by Tao Qian, Liu Bei became more and more confident. He divided his troops into many places to build defensive fortifications, preparing to fight Ji Hao to the end.

But Ji Hao seemed to have disappeared, and there was no news for half a year.

It made him very puzzled.

On the other hand, in Guangling, the county magistrate Wang Lang followed Ji Hao's example and built the "County Great Wall", which was very successful. It was said that it took only half a year to complete two-thirds of the construction.

It is also a five-meter-high wall.

So much so that Lu Bu often sighed: "Wang Lang is also a talent!"

"I don't know if they are talented or not, but the Wang family is indeed a great family in Langya. They are rich and can build a city wall of that scale. My Yuan family has a shallow foundation and cannot compare with them!" Yuan Shu said with a squint.

It is both a mockery of Wang Lang's reckless spending and a sour reflection of the Wang family's support for him.

Unlike himself, most of the Yuan family supports that damn bastard. Otherwise, why would he bask in the sun here every day just for the benefits given by Liu Bei?

But soon, the head of the Wang family stood up.

He said proudly: "Langya Wang Clan didn't give any money. It was Wang Lang's own ability. He was able to raise money and labor!"

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Jia Xu and Liu Bei looked at each other, and saw something bad in each other's eyes.

"The money wasn't provided by the Wang family?"

"Absolutely not!"

"Guangling is a mountainous area with a sparse population. How can it support construction? The combined labor of the entire Guangling County is not enough just to move the stones, let alone build it!" Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

Immediately sent someone to investigate.

After a few days, the results came out. It turned out that the place had become "Liu Pi Ji Bone" and had been occupied long ago.

It’s just that Ji Hao didn’t want to fight, so he still hung the original flag.

"This is absurd! We almost let them succeed. Quickly gather all the soldiers and march to Guangling. We must not let them build the 'County Great Wall'!" Liu Bei said angrily.

After saying that, he looked at the opposite city wall again.

"It has been confirmed that this place is a cover. We no longer need a large army to guard it, but we still have to defend it! Why don't you leave General Ji Ling behind to lead the troops to defend this place!"

In fact, Liu Bei wanted to send his own men to guard the place.

But he had few generals under his command, just Guan and Zhang, and they had to be taken with them to the decisive battle.

Otherwise, one person alone would not be able to withstand Ji Hao.

"Okay!" Yuan Shu nodded: "You arrange it!"

Finally, Ji Ling was deployed in the ten-mile open space between the two cities. Fortifications were built on both sides to resist the enemy troops that might bypass and attack at any time.

However, there was no defense in front or behind.

At the back is your city gate, which can be opened and closed normally.

In front of them was Ji Hao's "fake city gate". Since no one had ever gone out there, both Liu Bei and Ji Ling subconsciously concluded that it was blocked.

It's just a cover.

Therefore, there was no defense, and Ji Ling even built a toilet next to it for his own use.

I have to say, this is a cool move!
"How ridiculous! How ridiculous!" Xiahou Dun stood on the city wall, looking through the telescope, feeling offended. He angrily said, "You built a camp at my gate without defending the gate. Do you think I'm blind?"

Not to mention that Dunzi doesn’t have one eye now, even if he does, he still has one eye left!
He can see!

"If the tiger doesn't show off its power, do you think I'm a sick cat?"

He was angry in his heart, but did not take any action, because the order given by Ji Hao was to defend the city first.

He was expressly forbidden from attacking.

Liu Bei has too many generals, as well as the military advisor Jia Xu. No matter in terms of martial arts or intelligence, Xiahou Dun alone cannot compare with them. The only way is to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances.

However, news came from Guangling that after Liu Bei's army left, Xiahou Dun received a letter via carrier pigeon.

The order changed from "hold the position and do not go out" to "wait for an opportunity to capture Langya and expand the city wall" - this made Xiahou Dun, who had been holding his breath for a long time, laugh out loud.

I realized that my chance to be proud of myself had come.

"Kill a hundred pigs for me at noon today, stew the meat for the soldiers to eat and drink, and then go back to sleep!" Xiahou Dun ordered: "Sleep until midnight and gather together, open the city gates and follow me to fight and capture Langya City!"

Liu Bei's outrageous move almost blinded his eyes. He really thought he was a blind man.

In return, Dunzi felt that he had to take Langya County. Giving a thunderous blow was just a byproduct, mainly to tell Liu Bei: "I am not blind!"
