Anyang Taishou and the remaining defending generals sat around the fireplace, feeling very comfortable in this cold night of heavy rain.

The new grain and grass of the girder are here, and when the rain is over and the sky is clear, it can be transferred to the front.

The mud of the road will make transportation difficult, but it will not affect anything, it really can't, and 10,000 soldiers can carry a load. After all, here and the north bank of Zhangshui, there are only one hundred and fifty miles, and three days of eating and drinking are not much. One hundred catties of grain are transported to the front, and a maximum of ten catties will be consumed, and everyone can afford this consumption.

"The enemy has crossed the Zhangshui River and returned to the north, guarding their lair, and everything is peaceful here. The general should be worried about how to transport the grain and grass with the least loss after the weather clears, rather than worrying about the safety of the 150,000-strong army. ”

Rolling tofu has become the most delicious thing in this world, especially in this miserable wind and rain, this is simply a delicacy of the gods. Taishou sandwiched a piece of the guard, persuading the worried guard.

Faced with the food in front of him, the guard general did not have a little appetite: "The last general has been pondering, the Zhao army raided Anyang, and it was just a matter of burning grain and grass, why did the teachers mobilize the crowd to pick up the city wall?" That's not in harmony. ”

"Actually, it should be me who is more sad, the general is too worried."

According to the rules of this era, in fact, it is also the rule of the people, a city is a ruling center, they only pay taxes to the government in the city, and only recognize the ruler of the city as their own ruler.

This is why in the Three Kingdoms of later generations, Liu Bei occupied Xuzhou, and he got the basis, in fact, in principle, he only occupied a city in Xuzhou, and the suburbs were not his at all. But this is not the case, because he occupies Xuzhou, and the people in the suburbs who originally belonged to Xuzhou naturally handed over taxes to the rulers of Xuzhou.

When did this thinking break? It was when the great *** surrounded the city with the countryside, and at that time it was only at that time that the people suddenly understood that their feelings were actually free people, and they were not under the control of the lord in that city at all.

Now that Anyang City is gone, Anyang Taishou is equivalent to no jurisdiction, and now he is tired of moving his yamen to where to continue his tax collection and rule.

So, listening to the sound of rain outside, the two of them thought about their own thoughts and were silent.

Time seemed to pass slowly, and when night was approaching, the general stood up: "I'll go and make an inspection." ”

Taishou smiled: "With such a heavy rain, where will there be danger?" Rest and go, General. ”

The rumbling thunder came from far and near: "The thunder on the horizon is even greater, don't leak the grain that has just been transported and get wet, the weather is hot, the grain that receives water will have teeth in the blink of an eye, and people will die if they eat it." ”

For this conscientious guard, Taishou won't say anything.

As a result, the thunder is getting closer and closer, and it seems to reach the door.

This is very abnormal, when they were stunned, the door was slammed open, and a knight, with a drenched rain, appeared in front of them, looked at the two people who were dumbfounded, and the knight sitting on the horse announced coldly: "Anyang, has been occupied by me, you two, are already my prisoners." ”

Zhao Hao sat comfortably in the position of the Taishou just now, but he felt uncomfortable, because he was still kneeling here, so he pulled over a table, sat directly on the table, ate the wine and food in front of him, and listened to the results of the battle reported by his subordinates: "Ten thousand defenders, if they don't fall, all of them will be captured, and the captured grain wagons will not be counted." "Zero Long Literature Network

Zhao Hao poured a sip of wine into his mouth and looked at the guard who was kneeling beside him: "Are you surprised, are you surprised?" ”

The guard nodded sincerely: "Go and return, the rainy night raid, all broke the convention." I'm not surprised by Anyang's loss. ”

"That's right, only surprise is the real way of war, my brother taught me like this." Then he said earnestly: "Work hard, general, go to Zhang Yi, how about telling him the news?" ”

The guard looked at the heavy rain outside the door: "You let me be a roomman?" ”

Zhao Hao was surprised: "Where do you start with this?" Isn't it your responsibility to tell the boss the news of the defeat when you are defeated? ”

The guard said indifferently: "Of course this is my responsibility, but not now, I think it should be at least two days later." ”

"Why?"

"Because two days later, I told the Xiangbang the news of the loss of Anyang, and the Xiangbang was already standing on the north bank of Zhangshui, on the territory of Zhao, and at that time he could calmly decide to act. If I inform him now, it is estimated that his position is south of Zhangshui, and he will be disadvantaged at that time. ”

Zhao Hao laughed: "Actually, you go, it's just to disturb his mind and make him lose his ground, you don't have to do this, because my brother, Dai Xingjun of Zhao State should have already let him advance and retreat." ”

Leave him alone, and say to Taishou: "Should you go to Daliang and report the news of Anyang's loss to your monarch again." ”

Taishou nodded calmly: "This is my responsibility." ”

In this era, failure is not something to be ashamed of, as long as the reason is explained, there will be no punishment. As long as it is not confirmed that the cause of the failure is really your dereliction of duty, you are still the minister's doctor.

"In this case, I have nothing more to say, the grain has been opened, and as soon as it rains heavily, my purpose has been achieved, and I will kill your soldiers who should be killed, I'm sorry, it's really a last resort, I can't run around with ten thousand captives, because I don't have so many soldiers. I don't care about the rest, I'm gone. After Zhao Hao finished speaking, he really picked up the sword, put on his robe, and strode away without even a little nostalgia, except for a pile of water on the collapse, it seemed that he had never come at all, which made the guard general and Taishou in a trance.

In the end, the two looked at each other, and then looked at the sky: "This heavy rain really makes people drowsy and slack." The Keeper said in chagrin.

Taishou Su sighed: "The Zhao people are really tough, such a strong wind and rain, they can still send troops to raid, it is really admirable." ”

The guard bowed his head in shame.

To tell the truth, his own soldiers were in such a rainy day, and they were stuck in the regular truce, while the Zhao people were galloping back and forth in such a rainy day. And after the battle, he didn't rest in the houses in the city, so he rushed to the battlefield again, what kind of team is this, we Wei people are really inferior.

"That's it, let's go separately, I'll go to Daliang to meet the monarch to report the situation, you go to the front of the army to meet the minister to explain the war, let's act."

"It's our duty, as it should be." Then the two of them instructed the servants outside to prepare the carriage and horses, got into the carriage separately, took one last look at Anyang, and walked separately into the rain curtain.
