Chapter 135: The Fall of Qiongcheng
"The death penalty can be avoided, the living crime cannot be escaped, and if you don't report it, you still expect me to let you go?" Han Ming asked in a questioning tone.
Ye Die's matter had ended since he hugged her, but if he didn't punish him for doing this, Han Ming always didn't want to go.
"Boss, don't blame me, I only found out later. Crazy said with an innocent face.
"Don't blame you, don't blame you, blame me?" Han Ming said with some teasingness.
Glanced wildly at Ye Die beside Han Ming, and when he saw Ye Die's sharp eyes, he immediately shrank his neck and stopped talking.
"Also, who gave you the idea to come to me in the end, it's clever, I'm going to have to 'reward' him." Han Ming said with a smile. Let his subordinates see such an embarrassing side of himself, his old face is a little unbearable.
Hearing Han Ming's weird inquiry, Crazy Qi also knew that Han Ming's so-called reward was definitely not a good thing, but let him say who came up with the idea, he looked back at the dog with his head down, and his heart sank.
"Boss, this idea is my own idea, and it has nothing to do with others. ”
Han Ming sighed, the matter couldn't have been more obvious, he waved his hand weakly.
"Let's go down. ”
Seeing Han Ming's movements, he was immediately overjoyed, "Boss, you don't punish us?"
Han Ming glared at him, and wanted to say something, but he was immediately pulled out of the big tent by the dog and a few guards behind him.
There are two reasons why Han Ming did not punish Mad Qi, the first is that he likes Mad Qi's upright and righteous behavior, and he has long dispelled the idea of punishment.
The second is because Han Ming really can't find a punishment measure, let's beat him, Han Ming is a little reluctant; belittle him, it's not a big crime, there is no need for this; scold him for a few words, I don't feel like it's enjoyable, it's better to be out of sight and out of mind.
After the guards left, Han Ming turned his head and looked at Ye Die, "Say, how did you get here." ”
Ye Die lowered her head and twisted for a long time before she spoke: "I heard that Chen Guo from the south has called, and you are often not at home in those days, so I think you will lead the troops." ”
"I was worried about your safety, and I couldn't worry about you, so I sneaked into the guards, and I didn't know it at first, but then I saw that your food was not good, and I heard that you eat the same thing as the soldiers every time. Speaking of this, Ye Die's tears dripped silently.
He said in a slightly choked voice: "I felt very uncomfortable at the thought that you eat this every day, so I found a madness and asked him to let me cook for you every day, and told him not to tell you, so as not to distract you." ”
Han Ming saw Ye Die's pear blossom's little face with rain, and felt distressed for a while, and gently hugged her into his arms.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, I understand your intentions, I can't resist you, but you have to listen to me, otherwise I will still send you back. ”
Hearing that Han Ming didn't drive her away, Ye Die nodded her little head vigorously, and a smile bloomed on her face, like a warm majesty, like the afternoon sun in winter, which made Han Ming's heart warm.
......
Shen Xia was stationed on the ancient road between Shangjun and the vassal states of Eastern Chu. The ancient road used to be a pass, but later the number of people passing through gradually increased, and it expanded into a county seat.
Since Shen Xia came, he turned this place into a strong fortress, and the Chen army from the Eastern Chu vassal country has been blocked by Shen Xia under the ancient road city and cannot enter an inch.
Yunzhong, the county town of Shangjun, is far away from the ancient road, but fortunately, Qiongcheng, the county town of Yue County, is close, and with the support of Qiongcheng, Shen Xia will be able to defend it easily.
However, not long ago, Gu Liang Yangbo's Chen army invaded Yue County on a large scale, and the forces of Qiongcheng were forced to shrink and garrison in Qiongcheng.
If it weren't for Duan Rui who had been harassing Gu Liang Yangbo's army, Gu Liang Yangbo's army would have been under Qiongcheng by now.
Duan Rui had been carrying out the harassment mission given to him by Feng Xu. At the beginning, there were not many Chen Jun in Yuejun, and every time Chen Jun made a move, he was watching from the sidelines, so that Chen Jun did not dare to make a big difference, and it could be regarded as a successful completion of the task assigned by Feng Xu.
But soon after, spies came to report that Chen's army had traces of a large army gathering on the border of Yue County. Duan Rui muttered in his heart, not knowing if the enemy army was bluffing.
He thought about it for a while, the terrain of Yue County is rugged, and there is no strong city and good pool, so there is no reason for Chen Jun's army to let Anyang County not fight and come here.
So he concluded that this was the enemy's plan, and in order not to cause trouble for Feng Xu, he did not report it.
But the later situation made him understand that Chen Jun really led a large army to attack Yuejun, for which he also lost a general and a lot of soldiers and horses.
After Duan Rui learned of Chen Jun's movements, he hurried to report to Feng Xu while starting his own plan to disturb the enemy. Sneak attack on grain and grass, night attack, lead Chen Jun into the set, divide and annihilate it, he used all the methods that could delay time. The effect is also very good, Chen Jun could have walked the road in ten days, but it took half a month.
Most of Duan Rui's army were cavalry, with high mobility, and every sneak attack was not aimed at killing or injuring the enemy, and often left as soon as he appeared, so it was difficult to find, which made Gu Liang Yangbo very sad.
In a forest, Duan Rui and the others rested here for the time being. Although the pace of Gu Liang Yangbo's army was slowed down a lot by him, according to the current situation, within ten days, Chen's army could still reach Qiongcheng.
On the 10th, I don't know if the reinforcements can reach Qiongcheng, and we have to spend a lot of effort to drag down the Chen army and buy time for the reinforcements.
Cheng Rui had used almost all the methods that could be used, and now Gu Liang Yangbo's army had learned how to deal with their harassment, and began to send people to search around, and fought with Duan Rui a few times, forcing Duan Rui to hide in the forest.
In this case, it is even more difficult to hold Chen Jun back.
Just when Duan Rui was anxiously thinking about how to delay Chen Jun, a spy came to report.
"Report, general, the enemy's grain and grass team was found at the mouth of the centipede, and depending on the situation, there are quite a few of them. ”
Hearing the news, Duan Rui immediately flipped out the map and found the centipede's mouth.
Centipede mouth, the terrain is long and narrow, with many rift valleys on both sides, named because it resembles a centipede, which is a small road leading to Qiongcheng.
The appearance of the Chen army's grain and grass team here is absolutely good news for Duan Rui, a large number of grain and grass team must supply the grain and grass of the Chen army's large army, as long as the opponent's grain and grass team is intercepted, it can slow down the speed of the Chen army to a great extent, and even let the Chen army withdraw from Yuejun.
The opportunity must not be missed, thinking of this, Duan Rui immediately set off and led the troops straight to the centipede's mouth.
This was actually a gamble, and earlier, he had already explored the situation within a radius of 100 miles, and he did not notice Chen Jun's grain and grass troops.
It stands to reason that if the grain and grass do not go first, the troops will be mobilized, and the grain and grass will definitely not be able to keep up.
When the time came, the army in the direction of Jiangzhou caught up, and the first thing to pack up was the grain and grass of the Chen army. Therefore, he gambled that Chen Jun would be in danger, and on the surface he increased the intensity of encirclement and suppression, but in fact, he used the small road to transport grain and grass.
After a long run for half an hour, Duan Rui saw the grain and grass team slowly moving forward at the centipede's mouth, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, shouted loudly, and rushed towards the grain and grass team with a wild shout.
The process was very smooth, although there were many Chen Jun who took care of the grain and grass, it was not enough in front of Duan Rui's army.
After eliminating all of Chen Jun, Duan Rui looked at the truckloads of grain full of bags, and felt very proud in his heart, this was a great achievement, enough for him to become an official and enter the knighthood.
"My lord, I don't know what's going on, there is only food in these carts, and there is no fodder, so what do their mounts eat?" asked one of his men puzzled.
"Huh, what, no forage?"
Duan Rui was taken aback when he heard the news, it stands to reason that food and forage must be put together, after all, people and mounts are one, people want to eat, and mounts must also eat.
Thinking of this, a bad thought suddenly appeared in Duan Rui's mind, he picked up his sword and slashed at a bag of grain.
"Sand ...... Sand...... Sand ......"
Yellow dirt mixed with stones slid out of the bag.
"Oh no, I've been tricked. ”
Seeing the contents of the bag, Duan Rui immediately reacted.
"Ahh ”
However, when he reacted, a sharp arrow shot directly into Duan Rui's chest, and he immediately fell off his horse.
"General, save the general...... Ahh Suddenly, there was a scream.
In order to avoid the rain of arrows, the soldiers at the front and rear desperately rushed towards both sides of the centipede's mouth.
But waiting at the mouth of the valley was a forest of guns flashing with cold light, and the entire army was completely trapped at the mouth of the centipede.
It didn't take an hour for the Chu army at the centipede mouth to be wiped out by the Chen army, except for the cavalry who died in the first wave of arrow rain and the first charge, the rest of the Chu soldiers laid down their arms and surrendered after the Chen army pressed over.
In this way, Duan Rui was wiped out by Gu Liang Yangbo in the mouth of the centipede.
Without Duan Rui's harassment, Chen Jun's advance was much faster.
Seven days later, under the city of Qiongcheng, there were soldiers of Chen's army.
Yue County is not as rich as Qianwei County, and Qiongcheng is not as rich as Wuyang, Chen Jun only took three days to capture Qiongcheng and approach the ancient road.
