My Three Kingdoms is not right

Liu Xun met Yao Tian's sharp gaze and smiled frankly: "Commander Yao, don't worry, I just want to save my own life and live a little more comfortably."

Yao Tian said no more, clasped his hands in a salute, and turned to leave.

Liu Xun watched her retreating figure, his smile fading slightly.

Today's banquet was a great success.

He not only established connections with Lü Bu's subordinates, but also used the pretext of "preparing a banquet" to obtain a legitimate reason to mobilize ingredients and manpower.

These resources are nothing in Xiapi at present, but if the game unfolds as he knows it: Cao Cao floods Xiapi, and the city runs out of food supplies.

Back then, every sack of millet and every bundle of firewood could be a lifesaver.

He had a preliminary understanding of the personalities and circumstances of these people: Zhang Liao's prudence, Gao Shun's integrity, Hou Cheng's frankness, Song Xian's keenness, and Wei Xu's honesty.

Chen Gong's vigilance and Yao Tian's close surveillance reminded him that he could not relax his guard in the slightest.

Gazing at the bright moon in the sky, he suddenly thought of Sun Shangxiang.

If that lively little girl saw herself grilling meat, she'd probably jump up and grab it to eat.

……

Days passed by, and Liu Xun gradually got used to life in Xiapi.

Every morning, he would practice archery in the courtyard for a while. In the afternoon, he would flip through the bamboo slips sent by Chen Gong, and occasionally, under Yao Tian's "protection," he would go for a stroll in the city.

Every now and then, host a small banquet, invite Lü Bu and the generals in the city to gather, cook a few dishes by hand, praise Lü Bu's bravery, and provide plenty of emotional value.

These days are even more leisurely than when I was in Xuchang.

In Xuchang, he had to appease Liu Xie, manage the imperial guards, handle the affairs of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, deal with the power struggles in the court, and also be constantly wary of Cao Cao's scheming schemes.

Now that we're in Xiapi, apart from not being able to leave the city, we don't have to worry about anything else.

Over the course of several months, Liu Xun gradually became familiar with the military officers in the city. Even Gao Shun, who was usually taciturn, would occasionally smile in front of him.

As for the soldiers responsible for surveillance, under his daily onslaught of care, consideration, and rewards of food and money, almost all of them became his devoted fans.

Asking "Have you eaten?" when delivering meals, offering a bowl of hot soup while on night duty, slipping some money as a reward if there's a family emergency... These small acts of kindness, which Liu Xun considers insignificant, are rare favors for these ordinary soldiers.

Now, as he walks around the city, his "tails" not only don't find it annoying, but they also compete to help him with chores and run errands for him. Even Yao Tian, ​​who is usually cold-faced, is occasionally willing to chat with him for a few minutes.

My archery skills improved slowly, but after several months, I finally leveled up from level 2 to level 3. My combat strength also increased to 87 points.

Comparing his game memories from his previous life, Liu Xun's 87 points of combat strength were roughly equivalent to those of Zhang Bao and Guan Xing.

Of course, in this world, neither of them has been born yet.

[Player: Liu Xun]

[Wu Li: 87 Club starter, All-Star reserve.]

[Charm: 88 years of natural beauty plus a princess aura make you unparalleled in your charm.]

[Strategy: The education from 40 different dimensions will give you, with your ordinary talents, extraordinary insights.]

[Bond Attributes:]

[A seemingly trivial but ultimately meaningless situation: It offers no real benefit, yet is somewhat unappetizing; its effectiveness allows for clear judgment of whether to advance or retreat. It allows one to see through people's hearts and discern the true intentions of their opponents. (Requires the item "Five-Zhu Coin," with a one-month cooldown.)]

[Skills Overview]

[Melee: Level 7]

[Riding Skill: Level 5]

Archery Skill: Level 3

[Cooking Skills: Level 7]

Among the attributes, the points for Strategy were pitifully low after drawing the two magic bags, but Liu Xun still couldn't find a way to improve them.

With a mere 40 points, I don't know if that's enough to pass Lu Bu's judgment.

The siege outside the city continues.

Cao Cao tried to launch several more sieges, and later even used siege equipment such as siege ladders and trench bridges, but with little success.

The morale of Lü Bu's army soared with these victories, and optimism began to spread throughout the city.

"Cao Cao's army is nothing special!"

"Xiapi is worth 100,000 troops!"

"They'll be crying when Cao Cao's army runs out of supplies!"

……

Such sounds can be heard everywhere in the city.

Only Liu Xun knew that the current peace was temporary.

Under the guise of preparing for a banquet, he secretly hoarded grain, charcoal, and medicinal herbs, filling the warehouse to the brim.

The storm that will sweep through Xiapi is not far off.

-----------------

These days I'm stuck in Xiapi, unable to do anything else, but I haven't neglected my archery skills.

That morning, Liu Xun stood in the courtyard, drew his bow and shot arrow after arrow at the target thirty paces away.

After upgrading to level 3 "Mastery", I went from missing nine out of ten arrows to now hitting the target half the time, and I'm finally starting to look promising.

"Clang!"

The arrow left the bowstring and flew off to the left of the target. Liu Xun was not in a hurry and was about to nock another arrow when he suddenly stopped.

The ground beneath my feet trembled slightly, as if some enormous beast were writhing underground.

He crouched down, his palms pressed against the ground, and the tremor transmitted through his palms with an unsettling rhythm.

Liu Xun's expression changed drastically.

He remembered something.

"Captain Yao!" He stood up abruptly, grabbed his outer robe, and strode out. "Take your men and come with me to the city gate!"

Although Yao Tian didn't understand, he nodded and quickly gathered dozens of his soldiers, then followed Liu Xun out of the courtyard.

Something's already off on the street.

At this time of day, the morning market in Xiapi would have already opened, but today, there were far fewer people on the streets than usual, and the few pedestrians who were there were all hurrying along with anxious expressions.

Liu Xun quickened his pace, almost jogging, towards the south gate. The closer he got to the city gate, the lower the terrain became, and the faster his heart beat.

Then he saw it.

Near the city gate, the water had already reached above the soles of my shoes.

There was only a thin layer of water, slowly rising. The murky, yellowish-brown water flowed silently from the direction of the city gate, overflowing the road and seeping into every crevice.

"This is..." Yao Tian's expression finally changed.

"The river!" Liu Xun exclaimed without a doubt, "Cao Cao's army has dug up the river."

After months of siege with no results, Cao Cao finally lost patience.

Xiapi is the heart of Xuzhou. Flooding the city would undoubtedly cause serious damage to its buildings, farmland, and people's livelihoods.

But what you can't have, you might as well destroy.

That's definitely the style of that scheming woman.

People were already running out of their homes, standing barefoot in the water, looking around blankly. Some tried to scoop water out with wooden basins, but more water kept flowing in, and they couldn't scoop it all out.

The entire city was in an uproar; the sudden disaster had thrown everyone into a panic.

But Liu Xun was an exception; he had long known this day would come.

"Commander Yao, have someone shout along the streets, reminding the people to move their grain and firewood to higher ground in the city! Quickly!"

Yao Tian hadn't reacted yet: "Your Highness, the water isn't deep..."

"It's not deep now!" Liu Xun interrupted her, "but the river will continue to flood the city, and the low-lying areas will be submerged sooner or later! With the grain flooded, the people will soon run out of food!"

"Should we inform General Lü?" a female soldier asked.

"Take care of the people first!" Liu Xun said, then added, "The guards on the city wall saw it before us; they will inform them."
