Chapter 90: The Runan Battlefield

In July, it has entered the season of plum rain, there are few sunny days, sometimes pouring rain, sometimes drizzling, the sky master is gloomy, and the red sun is not visible.

On this day, above the sky, a layer of misty drizzle was covering.

"Huo Shao, where are we now?" Mu Jing was wearing battle armor, riding on horseback, and looked at the official roads around him.

He was injured, but he was not fit to travel in the rain.

But it has been more than half a month since Wuyin.

Time can't wait.

You must know that many battles are caused by the lack of grain and grass, and he doesn't want to have an accident because of his escort of grain and grass, which will lead to the defeat of Mushan's army.

"Repay the childe!"

Huo Shao and other hunters finally agreed to Mu Jing, gathered a hundred young people, and assisted Mu Jing to transport grain to the north, he was more familiar with the surrounding terrain, and led the way in front: "We have entered the range of Wufang County in Runan, less than twenty miles away from the county seat!" ”

"Runan?"

Mu Jing squinted slightly.

Runan County, in the Zhou Dynasty belonged to the jurisdiction of Cai and Shen, the Western Han Dynasty Emperor Gao two years to establish the county, the county governance in Shangcai, Yuan Yan years, the rule of Pingyu, under the jurisdiction of 37 counties, second only to Nanyang, the second county in the world.

According to his historical memory, this should be the world of the Yuan family.

Runan Yuan's family, the fourth and third dukes, the head of the warrior clan, is the world's first gatekeeper, not to mention the Yuan family's duo Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who are vying for hegemony in the troubled times, it is said that now, the two pillars of the Yuan family, Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui, are the ministers of the court, the list of civil officials, and their influence is extraordinary.

Mu Jing even had some doubts that the Yellow Turban Uprising in Runan was more caused by the Yuan family, so that the Yuan family had the right to expand the army.

"Runan's map!"

Mu Jing reined in the horse's reins and shouted in a low voice.

"In!" A student from the Wubeitang Hall sent a map, which was so rough that it could barely show the marks of the county seats.

"This is Wu Fang, not far from Shangcai!"

Mu Jing looked at it carefully.

Wufang is located in the southwest of Runan, in contact with Wuyin County in Nanyang.

After the uprising of Shangcai Gepo, Gongdu Liu Pi began to occupy the surrounding counties, and Wufang County also garrisoned 2,000 troops, but in June, Mushan led the soldiers of Wuyin County to the north as the vanguard, and attacked at night, beheading Gong Du's generals and occupying Wufang.

Wufang County became the bridgehead for the Nanyang Army to enter Runan.

At this moment, Wufang County has gathered all the soldiers and horses of Nanyang, and Nanyang has gathered 30,000 soldiers, but there are only 3,000 county soldiers, and the others are all county soldiers from various counties.

The mixed soldiers and horses gathered, and the scene was naturally a mess.

"Keep moving forward and see if you can rush to Wufang before it gets dark!"

"No!"

The generals were ordered to brave the rain in the drizzle.

In the afternoon, it was almost evening, and Mu Jing led the grain transportation team to the southwestern suburbs of Wufang.

"It's finally here!"

Mu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and entering the Wu house was equivalent to entering the category of Nanyang soldiers, and the safety was somewhat guaranteed.

"Don't be in charge, I see that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, let's hurry into the city!" Someone whispered

"Brother Huzi, Brother Jiu!" Mu Jing shook his head and snorted.

"In!"

"Go into the city and see where your father is camping?" Mu Jing said.

Now there are a lot of camps in and outside the city of Wufang County.

He still has to be careful.

"No!"

Lei Hu and Jin Jiu took the order and left.

Soon they came back, and Lei Hu reported: "The young master, the soldiers and horses of the big boss are not in Wu Fang?" ”

"What?"

"I heard that three days ago, the five thousand Nanyang soldiers in Guanyang County were killed by the Yellow Turban Army suddenly, and there were heavy casualties, so the big boss has personally led his troops straight to Guanyang!"

"These people are really useless!"

Mu Jing sneered.

Mushan led the troops as the vanguard army, entered Runan, less than a month, two battles and two victories, successively conquered Wufang, Guanyang, the front of the army approached Cai, but there were many casualties, so he returned to Wufang to rest, but he did not expect that the Guanyang that was beaten down was not hot, and was counterattacked by the Yellow Turban Army.

"Less in charge, what now?" Lei Hu asked.

"Gotta get into town!"

Mu Jing looked up at the sky, it was drizzling, it was about to get dark, and he couldn't stay outside the city, so he had to go into the city to hide: "If it goes on like this, the grain will be soaked, and if it is not transported to the front line as soon as possible, it will be moldy!" ”

Although the rain is not heavy.

But Didi fell on the grain truck, and Mu Jing was still very worried.

"But the situation in the city is a little complicated!"

Jin Jiu said in a low voice: "I just entered the city and saw the situation in the city, the soldiers and bandits are indistinguishable, the streets are bleak, and there are some soldiers and ruffians who rob things in the streets, it is very chaotic everywhere, we are escorting food, in case someone has bad intentions!" ”

"Who is the lord in the city?"

"It should be Huang Meng, the county governor!"

"I don't believe him, Huang Meng dares to connive at these people to intercept my grain and grass!" Mu Jing sneered: "Shuqi, enter the city!" ”

"Yes!"

The people took the command.

……

"Someone's in town!"

"It's the escort of grain and grass!"

"There's grain and grass here!"

"Our army has been short of food and grass for a long time!"

“……”

There are about 22,000 Nanyang soldiers in the city, except for 3,000 elite county soldiers, basically all county soldiers, as little as seven or eight, as many as about 1,000 or so.

Nanyang is not far away, and it is a wealthy county, so it stands to reason that there will be no shortage of grain and grass, but it happened to coincide with a rainy season, and the supply of grain and grass in Taishou Mansion was insufficient, so it led to this scene.

"Don't look at it, that's the grain and grass of the dancing yin!" Someone whispered a reminder.

"It's indeed a dancing yin!"

"The Yin Dancing Soldier is an elite, so it's better not to provoke it!"

"Zhang Chuan's guy broke his arm a few days ago, but he broke his arm by the Zhuyang County Lieutenant who hit him, this person is not easy to mess with!"

Many people retreated.

Wufang County Ya, this place has been requisitioned by Huang Meng, and his 3,000 county soldiers are stationed here.

"Lord Lieutenant, has a grain transport team entered the city?"

"Is it our food delivery team?"

Huang Meng's eyes lit up slightly.

These days, he is worried about the problem of grain and grass, after all, the big battle of the encirclement is imminent, if the grain and grass are not counted, the entire Nanyang soldiers will be very full, and this time the soldiers and horses of the counties are recruited to fight, if the grain and grass cannot be guaranteed, I am afraid that a mutiny will be formed.

"It's not!"

Someone reported: "It's the banner of dancing yin!" ”

"Dancing Yin?"

Huang Meng frowned: "They bring their own grain and grass!" ”

"They can't trust us!"

Liu Jin came with the army and said calmly: "If we pinch their grain and grass, wouldn't we let us dispatch them, how would they be willing to do this!" ”

"That's right!" Huang Meng said: "Or we will detain them!" ”

"Not only can't it be deducted!"

Liu Jin shook his head and said, "I also want to ensure that they can be transported to the camp of the Wuyin County soldiers smoothly!" ”

"Why?"

"The Wuyin soldiers are fighting in front, if we deduct their grain and grass, how do you let the other county soldiers think, then the army will be in chaos, how should this battle be fought?" Liu Jin said: "Don't lose a big one because of a small one, at present, we still need the Yin Dancing Soldier as the vanguard!" ”

"That's right!"

Huang Meng nodded, summoned a few henchmen, and said, "You go and keep an eye on it, warn everyone, don't move the Yin Grain and Grass!" ”

"No!"

Several military marquis were ordered.

……

With the Nanyang County soldiers secretly escorting, Mu Jing entered the city smoothly and requisitioned a few empty houses to settle down.

"Let's rest here for the night, and then rush to Guanyang City tomorrow, Brother Huzi, Brother Huo Shao, please take people everywhere to be vigilant, although we are not afraid that they will snatch our grain and grass, but the heart of defense is indispensable!"

Mu Jing took off his armor and changed into clean clothes, and said to the two.

"No!"

The two nodded, and each took someone to the realm.

"How's your body?" Zhang Ning was still dressed as a personal guard, came over with a medicine box, and changed the dressing for Mu Jing's wound: "It's raining, it seems that the injury won't get better for a while!" ”

"There's no way around it!"

Mu Jing smiled bitterly: "I want to wait, but if you look at this situation, the Nanyang soldiers are all short of food, and my father must be short of food, so I can't wait!" ”

"Aren't you afraid that they will seize your grain and grass?" Zhang Ning asked puzzled while changing the dressing.

"As long as they're not stupid, they won't do it!"

Mu Jing sneered: "Nanyang is the land of fish and rice, there is no shortage of food and grass, but it is a soldier who can fight and fight, they can't hold it after Guanyang is defeated, and finally they need their father to take it back in person, which shows that Nanyang soldiers are useless, they can only rely on their father's elite 3,000 soldiers and horses, how can they destroy the city wall!" ”

"You're confident!"

After Zhang Ning bandaged it, he glanced at him.

"Huh!" Mu Jing smiled, no one dared to do anything when he entered the city, which means that his conjecture is correct, and no one will do anything about the grain and grass logistics of Wuyin at present.

When night fell, it was quiet inside the house.

All the young men were exhausted, and except for the soldiers and horses on guard, they all fell asleep around the grain and grass.

In the center, under the light of a bonfire, Mu Jing sat next to him, he was sleepless late at night, spreading out a marching map, calculating the current situation on the battlefield in Runan.

"Shangcai is already the main camp of the Yellow Turban Army, with more than 100,000 garrisons, it is a hard bone, and it is difficult to fight!"

"In the southwest of Runan, there are my Nanyang soldiers stationed, and the current strength has basically gathered, there are about 30,000!"

"In the northwest direction, after the Yingchuan army suffered a defeat before, it has withdrawn from Runan, but the Yellow Turban and Huang Shao are dominant, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under him can be attacked, retreated and defended, and Shangcai has formed an offensive and defensive mutual defense!"

"And to the east, the main force of the Runan Army is still in Pingyu City, but I don't know the strength of the troops, and it is rumored that the Jiujiang soldiers are also under the personal leadership of Jiujiang Taishou, and they have begun to move north, once the fight starts, this will be the main battlefield!"

“……”

Mu Jing's mind gathered all the information he had now learned about the return of Runan, and in his mind he painted the situation on the battlefield in Runan, and his brows tightened.

The officers and soldiers seemed to be surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army, but the situation was worrying and not optimistic.
