Tang Yuan led his troops to Niutou Mountain, but found that he had miscalculated again, and Niutou Mountain could not be taken at all.

How good is that?

Further east are Micheng and Nanzhengcheng, the two cities are very close to each other, forming a corner and can support each other.

Tang Yuan made a simple sand table and deduced the battle with Nalan Xin, and found that it was relatively easy to attack Micheng. So he made up his mind to attack Micheng.

Due to the lack of cooking, the troops have begun to be restless, before the mutiny, Tang Yuan made a crazy decision, after passing by Niutou Mountain, without resting, directly attacked Micheng, he told the soldiers, the first batch of soldiers to enter Micheng, each rewarded a daughter-in-law.

In the 200 years since the founding of the Liang Dynasty, this reward is really unprecedented, and no general dares to give this military order.

Nalan thought confidently, Tang Yuan was also in a hurry, and let go. If it is not well controlled, he, as a general, will not want to be a general, and he will have to bear a felony when he turns back.

Tang Yuan's fate should not be killed, because the troops were very hungry, the infantry could not run fast, he led the cavalry to quickly march to Micheng, as a result, Micheng people Mi Du took his family to kill Liu Zhong, the defender of Micheng, and opened the city gate, Tang Yuan's cavalry did not pass the siege, they directly broke into the city, and the enemy started a street battle.

The enemy garrison 2,000 soldiers, the will to fight is not resolute enough, after a vicious battle, take Micheng, kill more than 600 people, capture more than 500 people, the others do not know where to go, it is estimated that they ran to Nanzheng.

Tang Yuan appointed Mi Du as the commander of Micheng County, and told Mi Cheng, even if His Majesty the Emperor does not approve my decision in the future, you will be at least a Jiupin County Cheng, and Yu Lu will definitely have it.

Tang Yuan asked Mi Du to find a way to get some food, but Mi Du said that the food had long been robbed by the Han army, and now the city was full of hungry people.

——

Just when the front-line troops were worried about food, Emperor Zhao Ce made a person a marquis.

This person is the nephew and grandson of Huang's father-in-law.

The Ximen family attacked Luoyang, and the emperor wanted to commit suicide when he was in danger, but he was moved by Huang Gonggong and gave up suicide and ran to the Tang family to seek refuge, but he really escaped.

Emperor Zhao Ce said that thanks to Huang Gonggong's full rescue, otherwise I would have been buried in peace today.

In recognition of Huang Gonggong's good performance, His Majesty the Emperor once promised to make Huang Gonggong's nephew a marquis when he escaped this catastrophe, and now he is fulfilling his promise. But when he saw Huang's nephew, he was very dissatisfied.

Huang Gonggong has three nephews, all of whom are not small people, with the relationship between the uncle, there is no less benefit, and now I heard that I want to be named a marquis, and the three of them fight for me, and they actually killed each other.

For this reason, His Majesty the Emperor Long Yan was furious, not only did not give them knighthoods, but ordered them to be killed with a cane. Later, it was Huang Gonggong who interceded, and this matter was in the past, and now the marquis named by His Majesty the Emperor is actually the son of Huang Gonggong's dead nephew.

The child was still young, and the emperor asked Huang Gonggong to tell his family that he should cultivate a good life, read more, know etiquette, and not behave nonsense.

is really a companion like a tiger, Huang Gonggong doesn't even want his relatives to ask for this title, because these poor relatives are really unproductive, and the children they educate are a group of people in the market. So Gonggong Huang rented a small house in Luoyang, brought the young little marquis to the capital, he hired people to let the children learn the rules and learn to be a man every day, and he had to educate himself as soon as he had time. scared the child so much that he didn't dare to do anything, and Huang Gonggong was completely relieved.

But later, Huang Gonggong heard that the child was very naughty, so he took someone to beat the child severely. Under the stick, there is a filial son, and the offspring of this kind of splashy skin cannot be beaten without a weapon.

Tang Yuan asked Mi Du, how did you survive the famine here in previous years?

"There are a few rivers nearby, but there are a lot of fish, shrimp, crabs and mussels. ”

Tang Yuan suddenly came to the river with his soldiers, stretched a large net, and cut a few rivers, he said: "Don't let go of a single fish." ”

It's really fateful, and his approach has really paid off miraculous.

Let the troops out, let them each go to find food, some go up the mountain, some go to the countryside, in short, Tang Yuan has begun to blacken, his decision is quite cruel, but there is no way.

Tang Yuan sighed and said, "Soldiers are also people, and if they don't eat, they can't survive at all." Only by ending the war as soon as possible can the people be freed from the sea of suffering, and if the army starves to death this time, the war can only continue, not stop because of it. ”

Nalan Xin is grilling fish: "In every large-scale war, the death toll of the people far exceeds the number of soldiers, and most of them are starved to death. ”

The soldiers had begun to flee, but there had not yet been a mutiny, and when Chen Bao arrived, Chen Bao said that he had killed no less than ten defectors with his own hands.

Tang Yuan made up his mind and said, "Attack Nanzheng tomorrow." I don't believe it, there is no food in Nanzheng City. Whether our troops can survive depends on this battle. ”

The battle against Nanzheng was fought badly, because the morale of the soldiers was not high, and they almost gave up several times. But there was one person who was outstanding, and his troops were also hungry, but he showed a particularly high level of cohesion, and that person's surname was Meng.

General Tang Yuan's credibility was declining, and he personally led his troops to attack the city, flanked by Chen Bao, Tang Hu and other cronies, and the one surnamed Meng was the first to rush into the city.

After taking Nanzheng, I finally saw the grain, which can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need.

But at this time, there were only 5,000 soldiers left under Tang Yuan's command. Natanhun was no better, and he still had more than 2,000 people under his command.

At this time, Liu Xun of Shu Han was not having a good time, he gave up Liangzhou, deployed heavy troops on the grain road, and when Tang Yuan and Natanhun walked away, he began to transport grain again, but seven days later, Tang Yuan led people back to the west of Liangzhou, burned the town of Jinniu, destroyed the road, and stole a wave of grain from the Han army.

This time, Tang Yuan can be regarded as a success, this return horse shot is beautiful.

After having food, Tang Yuan continued to destroy the road, blocking the originally narrow road with big stones, which became a pass, and then sent troops to garrison on the stone pile, condescendingly, not only blocking the grain road, but also killing many enemy soldiers.

Hearing that Tang Yuan had food, many hungry people came to join the army, and Tang Yuan's soldiers expanded to 13,000 people, and Natanhun was not ambiguous, his army expanded to 8,000.

At this time, Liu Xun finally couldn't hold on, and withdrew from Xingzhou with 80,000 people, Tang Yuan didn't dare to resist Liu Xun, when the scout said that Liu Xun's army began to evacuate, he ran away with people.

Liu Xun's vanguard troops cleared the barricades in front, and the rear army resisted Tang Xiao's pursuit, and in this retreat, he lost more than 20,000 people, and retreated to Lizhou in one breath, arranging the first line of defense in Sanquan City, and Lizhou City as the second line of defense.

Seeing the layout of the enemy army, the marshal Tang Xiao smiled and said: "Such a small layout is really too small." ”
