Chapter 11 Deppointment

Guan Yu is in a heavy and unhappy mood now.

After leading the army to the west, there were ten rooms and nine empty all the way, starving all over the place. It is said that the rich land of Runan and Ruyin under the rule of himself and Li Yan, Chen Jiao and others is now like suffering from the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Seeing the arrival of their army, the hungry people rushed up as if they saw a savior and begged the army to feed them. More than that, under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, the heavy troops of the army became the target of the disaster. As the saying goes, the three armies have not moved, and the food and fodder are ahead. Now the heavy team is having a hard time, and the speed of their army has also been slowed down. If it goes on like this, when can we open up the three counties and march into Jingxiang?

Cao Yan's hand is really fierce enough. Most of the people in the three counties of Runan have been forcibly moved to Yanzhou by him, leaving only more than 200,000 people. But for this kind of people, eating is also a big problem. Using the disaster victims to drag down Guan Yu, Cao's strategy seems to be relatively successful now.

Guan Yu wants to ignore it, but it is difficult to do this. Once you are in charge, your march will be affected, which is really helpless.

"Junhou, now Cao Wei wants to use these hundreds of thousands of disaster victims to drag us down and delay the Junhou from marching Jingxiang. In that case, we can't do more entanglement here. Zhuge Liang calmly analyzed the current situation.

"I know that, but how can I ignore it?" Guan Yu's biggest headache is this problem.

"I have a plan, which may work. The prince can ask the lord to transfer more than 10,000 county soldiers to come here, and then issue an edict to inform the victims of the disaster in various counties for disaster relief, so that they should not attack and disturb the heavy troops. Junhou led the army to Jingxiang, which led the county soldiers to stay in the three counties to preside over the disaster relief. Zhuge Liang said slowly.

"Is that all right? What if you still disturb the heavy team? Guan Yu asked with some uncertainty.

"Hehe, at that time, he was still attacking the heavy team, and nine times out of ten, he was Cao's people. Why do you need to be polite?" Zhuge Liang smiled and said. Guan Yu thought about it for a moment and understood the key: ordinary people attacked the heavy squad in order to survive. Now that all counties have begun large-scale orderly disaster relief, how many of them are willing to grab military food? I'm afraid it's only Cao's people who are still persevering to the heavy team. To understand this, Guan Yu also put down the big stone in his heart and hurriedly wrote to Liu Bei, asking him to quickly allocate grain and rice and county soldiers to listen to it, and issued an edict for the disaster victims to go to Ruyin and other counties to receive grain and rice. Later generations came with food and fodder, followed by Zhang Zhao, who was sent by Liu Bei to preside over the disaster relief. Under Zhang Zhao's dispatch, disaster victims in various counties also received relief in an orderly manner, and the situation gradually stabilized. At the same time, Guan Yu's army also marched all the way west, straight through Cai County and the ancient city into the boundary of Nanyang County, Jingzhou, and then passed through the west of the water, Lushan, Anle and other counties south of the Huai River, and went south to Xinye and Yiyang counties across the water from Fancheng. As for the heavy team, it was escorted by Zhou Tai. Although some young people wanted to make a sneak attack, they were all repulsed.

"Second General, there is Magpie Slope in front of you, and the counties in the south of Xinye are already under the rule of Li Zhengfang. After waiting for the water, you can join forces with Li Taishou of Fancheng and go south to cross Xiangshui and attack Xiangyang!" After Lushan, Zhuge Liang pointed to the Xinye City Road, which was already faintly visible on the horizon ahead.

"Vhapply good. When I get to Fancheng, I will work with Li Zhengfang to hit Cai Mao's nest!" Guan Yu was in high spirits. At this moment, the rear army suddenly had a burst of chaos. Guan Yu quickly sent someone to investigate. After a while, he saw Zhou Cang running back breathlessly and said, "Junhou, just then a group of thieves came to rob the heavy grain and grass. The leader fought fiercely with General Zhou Tai for dozens of rounds, and General Zhou was shot twice. I fought with General Chen Wu of the Chinese army and failed to win. This group of thieves robbed about 30% or 40% of the food and fodder and fled!"

"What?" Guan Yu was also very surprised when he heard the words, and then said angrily, "Who dares to rob me of food and fodder?" While getting angry, he was also puzzled: although Zhou Tai's martial arts skills were not as good as his own, he was also a rare fierce general in the world. He was shot twice in dozens of rounds. It seems that it is not easy for this man to throw.

Not long after, the military stretchers came with the injured Zhou Tai. The latter saw Guan Yu struggling to get up to speak. Guan Yu quickly motioned him not to move lightly. Lord, the last general is incompetent and has been robbed of food and fodder. Please be punished!" Zhou Tai said in a deluent way.

"Want or defeat is a common thing for soldiers. Youping, who can hurt you?" Guan Yu asked quickly.

"The man didn't say a word but only fought. I asked several times but didn't pay attention to it. This man is very good at shooting. I fought with him for only more than 30 rounds and was shot twice. If it hadn't been for Captain Zhou and General Chen coming quickly, I'm afraid they would have died. What's more, thousands of people under his command were cavalry. They robbed the food and fodder and left. The rear army couldn't catch up with them. They only saw them go north. Zhou Tai hated it.

" Cavalry? To the north?" After listening to this, Guan Yu suddenly muttered in his heart. It seems that Zhang Xiu from Wancheng is here. Thousands of Xiliang iron riders under his command are extremely convenient for sneak attacks in the field. At present, our army is supporting Jingxiang, and it will disturb our army's food and fodder. Zhuge Liang's face was a little solemn.

"It's a pity that there are not many cavalry under the command of the eldest brother. This time, he only brought 2,000 light horses. How can he compete with it?" Guan Yu was also a little helpless. Zhuge Liang turned his eyes and then smiled and said, "Junhou, it's better to distribute two directions now. First, send a partial division to help Li Taishou. Junhou leads a large army to capture Wancheng. How about the plan?"

"Kong Ming, there are only 30,000 troops in our army at present. If the troops are divided again, how can we calm Jing Xiang as soon as possible!" Guan Yu obviously didn't like Zhuge Liang's suggestion.

"Junhou, the reason why Cai Mao and Yuyue dared to commit chaos is Cao Yan'er. At present, if Cao Qian is a helper of the two thieves, he will go to Wancheng to attack Fancheng. In addition, the Xiliang iron cavalry under Zhang Xiu in Wancheng may attack the back road of our army at any time. If it is not eliminated as soon as possible, once the food and fodder are broken when our army fights with Cai Mao, won't it be in chaos? Zhuge Liang said carefully. Guan Yu thought for a moment when he heard the words, and still sighed, "What Kong Ming said is not unreasonable, but the wall of Wancheng is dangerous. What can I do?"

"Don't worry, princes. Although the city wall of Wancheng is high and dangerous, Zhang Xiu is brave and resourceless. Just lure it out of the city, and you can easily take Wancheng. Zhuge Liang was confident, and then whispered a few words in Guan Yu's ear. Guan Yu nodded repeatedly. At present, Guan Yu sent Chen Wu to lead 10,000 troops to reinforce Fancheng first, and he and Zhuge Liang were ready to break the embroidery first.

Liu Pan's army was blocked in Yidu County. After passing through the water, Guan Yu divided 10,000 troops with rations, and Chen Wu led the urgent march to Fancheng. He and Zhuge Liang led an army of 20,000 yuan, together with Liao Hua, Zhou Cang and the heavy grain and grass, and prepared to remove Zhang Xiu first.

The smoothest of the three-way army is Zhao Feng's journey. After arriving at the county, the guard Deng Zhi surrendered as expected. Zhao Feng left 2,000 people to be garrisoned by Feng Xi, and he led the army to continue to Yicheng County.

"General Zhao, the general of Yicheng County is Song Zhong. This person is Cai Mao's best friend and will never surrender." After surrendering, Deng Zhi was very sure.

"Song Zhong (send to the end)?" Zhao Feng was also very speechless about the name, which was even more ruthless than Cao Bao at the beginning. It was obvious that he cursed himself naked. Don't worry, Bo Miao. I'll let him taste the taste of the catapult. Zhao Feng found that he was becoming more and more cruel now. In the past, he liked to subvert soldiers without fighting, but now he occasionally likes to watch the scene of rocks.

But Deng Zhi's surrender is also a surprise. This man is only in his twenties now. But Zhao Feng knew that he was the pillar of the late Shu Han Dynasty in history. During the period of Jiang Wei, the most important generals were Wang Ping, Deng Zhi and Ma Zhong. Deng Zhi guarded Jiangzhou to prevent Eastern Wu, Ma Zhong guarded Nanman, and Wang Ping guarded Hanzhong. Relying on these three uncles and Zhang Yi, Shu Han actually survived for more than 30 years after Zhuge Liang died, so it can't be said that they are rubbish. In particular, Deng Zhi, who has a little talent in diplomacy and internal affairs, is also a copycat version of Li Yan.

"The thrower?" Deng Zhi was a little surprised when he heard the words. Wen Ping beside him smiled and said, "Don't worry, Bo Miao. You will know when you see it!" At this time, both the two counties of Bian County and Hanyang were owned by Zhao Feng, and the next one was Yicheng guarded by Song Zhong. To Zhao Feng's surprise, the army had just arrived in Yicheng County, and the defenders took the initiative to challenge.

"Who dares to invade the boundary of our southern county!" Under the city of Yicheng County, a general led more than a thousand people to meet the enemy, and he was the first to show off his power.

"These days, the nameless rats also have a loud voice!" Zhao Feng sighed and then asked Wen Ping, "Zhong Ye, do you know this person?"

Wen Ping looked at it carefully, and then stepped forward and sneered, "Isn't this Captain Chen Ying of Lingling? Why did you come to Yicheng County to send him to death? Now that our army is fighting against the rebellion, why don't you return early and want to be the headless ghost?

"Wen Ping, others are afraid of you, but I'm not afraid of you. Today, let the world know that the first place of Jing Xiang is a false name!" After Chen Ying roared, he patted the horse and stepped forward to get a job. Wen Ping laughed angrily and hurriedly greeted him.

"The ignorant are fearless!" Zhao Feng shook his head and said, taking advantage of the empty battle between Wen Ping and Chen Ying. Zhao Feng looked up at the head of Yicheng County. There was an rat. The civil servant was hiding behind the female wall and watching the war in World War II. It must be Song Zhong. At a glance, he knew at a glance that this guy was not a good thing.

"Ah!" Chen Ying suddenly shouted and turned his head and left. Wen Ping snorted coldly and chased after him. Chen Ying ran a few steps and suddenly turned back and let go. Two steel forks shot straight at Wen Ping. This move is really fast and urgent, and it is difficult to escape the deadline of literary recruitment.

"Hey!" Wen Ping saw that he couldn't dodge. He slapped Suo's palm on the saddle, and his whole body soared into the air, and two steel forks scratched the soles of his feet. Chen Yingwan didn't expect that his stunt would not work. In a daze, he had been bullied by Wen Pin and shot down the horse.

"It's tied!" Wen hired the tip of the gun against Chen Ying's throat, and several guards behind him hurriedly took the prepared thick hemp rope and tied him up. Only then did Wen Ping feel a little cold under his feet. He took time to see that the sole of his boots had been scraped by Shicai.
