After the raid was successful, Han Yandang immediately sent people back to the camp to inform Zhou Yafu of the news.

Then he ordered the soldiers to quickly destroy the wharf of Sikou and build a camp here to prevent Wu Chu from attacking!

However, when the time came for the military rations to arrive, Liu Bi couldn't wait for the arrival of the grain truck, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious......

After only an hour, a lieutenant hurriedly came to report: "My lord, all the rations of our army have been intercepted by the Han army, and all of them have been burned at this time.

When the final general arrived, the fire had not yet been extinguished, and the Sikou pier had been ...... has been occupied by the Han army".

Hearing this, Liu Bi almost fainted, and now Ying Gao, who was beside Liu Bi, immediately stepped forward to hug Liu Bi,

"All the 100,000 stone army rations have been burned, so why don't you quickly check the geometry of our army's grain storage!" , Ying Gao said eagerly.

Ying Gao helped Liu Bi to sit on the bed, and ordered someone to call the doctor who accompanied the army to diagnose and treat Liu Bi, and took a dose of decoction before Liu Bi woke up.

As soon as he woke up, Liu Bi was in pain, "How is it good!" How can this be good".

Ying Gao hurriedly said: "The king must not be like this, those who achieve great things must not be discouraged by a temporary defeat!"

Back then, Emperor Gao and Xiang Yu competed for hegemony, and there were several battles, none of which were victorious, and in the end, it was not to destroy Xiang and dominate the world! ”。

Hearing Ying Gao say this, Liu Bizhi's mood calmed down a little.

At this time, the captain who had just gone out to check the grain and grass came back, knelt on the ground and saluted: "King, at this time, the grain and grass in our army's camp is less than 10,000 stones, and it can only be supplied for three days at most."

Liu Bi immediately took the case and said: "Pass the order, from this time on, the food used by my Wu Chu army, from the widows to the soldiers, will be halved."

"No!".

At dusk, the soldiers who attacked Liang returned to the camp and rushed to the room to eat.

Because Wu Chu is located on the southeast coast, and rice is produced, although there is not too much rice, Wu Chu's army can still eat some rice on weekdays.

Due to the Han Dynasty and the Qin system, the 20th class military merit system was implemented, and the food standards were different for different tastes. The lower-level officers who have a third-level knighthood in the Han law have a bucket of polished rice, half a liter of sauce, and a plate of vegetable soup. Those with two titles can eat corn, and ordinary soldiers without titles can only eat corn porridge and wild vegetables, so as not to make the soldiers unable to fight, it is good to add salt to the porridge to fill their stomachs.

However, in order to boost morale, Liu Bi had already ordered at the beginning of the army that all soldiers could eat corn for a bucket.

However, when these soldiers picked up their rice bowls to eat, they saw that one of them had only one bowl of corn porridge.

When there was a commotion, "The king has already ordered that a bucket of corn can be eaten every day, where is there enough to eat such a bowl of gruel!" ”。

After speaking, the rest of the soldiers also made a mess and quarreled.

Liu Bi knew that the soldiers were reluctant to see this meal, so he ordered Tian Lubo to come here in person, and when he saw the soldiers making noise, Tian Lubo even said: "Because the ship carrying the grain capsized on the way, so today's food has not yet arrived, and the king has ordered the army to temporarily control the meal, and when the military food is delivered, he can eat it to his heart's content."

After speaking, Tian Lubo even picked up a bowl of gruel and drank it, and said: "General Ben is determined to be like you from today onwards, only gruel."

Tian Lubo was quite prestigious among the soldiers of Wu State, and seeing him like this, these soldiers stopped making noise and took the porridge in their hands and ate it.

Tian Lubo didn't want to coax the soldiers, but if all the grain and grass obtained by the soldiers were intercepted by the Han army, there would be chaos in the army immediately! In this way, I have to hide it, and I can delay it for a while......

When it was approaching dusk, Liu Bi summoned all the generals and colonels in the camp and said: "Even if the Japanese army's rations are halved, the current grain stock will not allow the 200,000 army to eat for no more than five days.

The widow has ordered the scouts to find out that the defenders of Xingyang Douying are only tens of thousands, and with my Wu Chu's current military strength, we will be able to win, so that our army can get the food of Ao Cang and solve my dilemma of lack of food."

Many of the generals present were overjoyed when they heard this, but only Tian Lubo and Huan Xing were worried and didn't say a word..................

That night, Tian Lubo rode out of the camp alone to a slope, looked at the big camp not far from the slope, and said to himself: "I don't know if my Wu army still has a chance to survive......."

Just when Tian Lubo sighed, he only heard the sound of horses' hooves, someone was riding a horse, and with a pull on the reins, the war horse turned his head and saw the person in front of him clearly.

Tian Lubo smiled bitterly: "What is the matter with General Huan here?" ”。

Huan Xing's Ma Lai said: "The last general saw that the general was frowning today, and he came here alone, and the last general was a little worried, so he followed the general here."

Hearing this, Tian Lubo did not say anything more, and the two looked side by side at the top of the slope and looked in the direction of the camp. At this time, it was almost dusk, and a bonfire had been lit in the camp.

Huan Xing spoke: "Is the general worried about tomorrow's battle?" ”。

"Xingyang is already easy to defend and difficult to attack, our army has been exhausted from besieging Liang for many days, and has long missed the opportunity to raid Xingyang, but I am afraid that Zhou Yafu will not let our army go to Xingyang easily."

At this time, a cool breeze blew, Huan Xing took off the helmet he was wearing, and sighed: "What the general said is true, if my Wu army wants to capture Xingyang, it will be difficult to climb to the sky."

But the art of war is cloudy, put it to death and come back to life, and the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, I can't say that my Wu army has divine help, and can enter Xingyang! ”。

Hearing Huan Xing's words of "comfort", Tian Lubo had to smile bitterly.

Ran Huan Xing took out two bags of wine from the horse's back and handed one of them to Tian Lubo.

Said: "The king's kindness to us is difficult to repay, and tomorrow if it is victorious!" I would like to join the general to help my king ascend to the throne!.

However, if you are defeated tomorrow, you will die on the battlefield! To taste the king's kindness! ”。

After speaking, Huan Xing opened the wine bag and drank the wine in the bag.

Seeing Huan Xing like this, Tian Lubo took the wine bag and drank not a drop left, threw the wine bag on the ground, the two of them were shoulder to shoulder, laughing, but when the two laughed, there were tears in their eyes............

…………………………………………………………………………

However, since Zhou Yafu received the report from the Gong Gaohou Han Yan, he immediately ordered someone to send an order to Dou Ying, ordering him to shrink his forces in order to consolidate the city defense of Xingyang.

He himself led the army out of Changyi and went straight to Aocang outside Xingyang City, thirty miles outside Aocang, and ordered the army to be stationed and build a camp.

This is puzzling to many generals.

They all asked: "At this time, Taiwei has ordered Gong Gaohou to cut off Wu Chu's grain road, Wu Chu has no extra food to eat, so far, shouldn't it be annihilated, why did Taiwei order people to build a barracks."

Seeing that many generals and colonels actually said this, Zhou Yafu even reprimanded: "When did Captain Ben say that he wanted to fight with Wu Chu and pass on my military order, without my order, no one was allowed to go out of the camp."

If Wu Chu's army arrives here, if it gets close to the barracks, it will be shot with a bow and crossbow! ”。

In this way, these people have to obey it.

The next day, Liu Bidang led his army to turn around and go to Xingyang.

At this time, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, who was about to be broken, heard the scout report that Wu Chu had withdrawn his army, and Liu Wu didn't want to believe it.

Seeing that Liang Guo was about to be unable to hold on, Liu Bi left at this time, and no one believed it.

So Liu Wu sent several groups of scouts out of the city to investigate, and heard that the Wu army camp was empty, and finally Liu Wu believed that Liu Wei had really withdrawn!

Standing on top of the city tower and laughing, "Hahaha, Liu Bi, the old thief, must have to withdraw because he knows how powerful the widow is!" ”。

And Han Anguo came over at this time, "King, Wu Chu's withdrawal is extremely strange, but from the scout's report, Liu Biao seems to have led the army to Xingyang, thinking that it must be because his grain road was robbed, so he would withdraw his army in such a hurry."

Hearing that Wu Chu had changed his route to Xingyang, Liu Wu didn't necessarily say: "Hmph! Dou Ying's husband is unwilling to rush to the aid of the widow, at this moment Liu Biao's army is pressing, and the widow will not save it! ”。

Han Anguo frowned, and said: "King, my Liang State has resisted the Wu Chu rebels for a month, and the most difficult time has passed, but Wu Chu's army has run out of food at this time, and went to Xingyang, not to hand over the first contribution of counterinsurgency to Dou Ying."

Han Anguo's words made Liu Wumeng smart, turned his head and said: "Order Zhang Yu, my Liang army will rest for a day, and after a day, the widow will personally lead the army to annihilate the thieves!" ”。

"No", the herald left as soon as he gave his hand.......

……………………………………………………………………

Wu Jun was already exhausted, and he couldn't eat enough, so the speed of the march was a little slow, and it took nearly two days before he approached Xingyang.

Just when Liu Bi was enjoying the grain of one million stones if he captured Xingyang, he heard the attendant play: "King, there is a large camp of the Han army stationed outside Aocang, and listening to what the scout said, it seems that ...... It seems to be Zhou Yafu's army."

"Zhou Yafu! Zhou Yafu! It's Zhou Yafu again! A few days ago, we cut off our army's military rations, and now we are blocking our army from seizing Aocang, and the widow is going to slaughter this Zhou Yafu! ”。

After speaking, he ordered: "Let Tian Lubo lead the army to attack, and he will defeat Zhou Yafu at all costs to capture Ao Cang."

After hearing the military order, Tian Lubo smiled even more bitterly, in the form of Wu Chu's army, to fight with the elite Han army led by Zhou Yafu is to hit a stone with an egg, how can he win..................

But Liu Bi's order, he had to follow it, and even led the army to charge the camp of Zhou Yafu's Han army.

Since Zhou Yafu gave the order, the crossbowmen in his battalion have long been ready, just waiting for the rebels to approach.

At first, Tian Lubo led the army to charge, but there was not the slightest sign of battle in the Han army camp, and when it was a hundred steps away from the barracks, he saw arrows like a storm shooting out of his camp.

And Wu Chu was all foot soldiers, and his reaction was slow, but in a moment, countless soldiers fell in a pool of blood, but the rain of arrows did not stop at all, and fell into the Wu army one after another.

Tian Lubo swept with his sword to block the arrowhead, and immediately ordered, "Withdraw the army, withdraw the army!" ”。

In this way, these soldiers who had not yet been hit by the arrow reacted, and they were like lost dogs, throwing off their armor and fleeing quickly......
