Chapter 414: Murong Ke's Worries

After Huan Wen discussed it, Li Xin's side moved quickly, and the first batch of 5,000 stone grain from Hongnong was transported over first. And after seeing that this grain was constantly being transported into the barracks, and after hearing that the Huashan Army would continue to provide food support, the soldiers under Huan Wen were immediately greatly relieved. After all, there is no need to worry about the problem of food now.

Seeing that the army's heart is settled, it is naturally an extremely beneficial thing for Huan Wen. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he boosted his morale, and then let everyone take advantage of this will to fight and launch another onslaught on Luoyang City.

The situation in Luoyang City, Murong Ke, who is in Heyang County, has been paying close attention to it. At this time, all his energy was put on Luoyang, so he was able to think about many things.

"What do you say? Huan Wen reached an agreement with the Huashan Army that he would directly purchase food from the Huashan Army to supply the army's needs? After getting the news from the spies, Murong Ke was taken aback, and then fell silent.

He has always been cautious in his actions~ and is not willing to take risks. Therefore, whenever he leads the army to fight, he has always been very calm, and would rather spend more time than let his soldiers be injured too much for the sake of temporary results.

Now the weather is not suitable for fighting at all, let alone having to cross the river, and then have to face Huan Yun's 20,000 army. Once this kind of battle starts, no one knows what it will be like in the end.

But for Murong Ke, even if he wins in the end, I'm afraid that his side will lose a lot. If you just lose some soldiers and horses, and finally be able to defeat the Huanwen army and occupy Luoyang, it will be worth it.

The key is that Murong Ke has never been able to rest assured of the Huashan Army that is close at hand. After all, if he and Huan Wen were in a fight, or when they were both defeated in the end, the Huashan army in the west suddenly killed, then his own people and horses would probably be wiped out.

From the point of prudence, Murong Ke's previous idea was to take advantage of the solidity of Luoyang City and the natural danger of the Yellow River to slowly confront the Huan Wen army.

As a leader for many years, he couldn't understand the shortcomings of the Huan Wen army. He was going to drag it out slowly like this, and then when the food and grass of the Huan Wen army could no longer continue, he would naturally retreat.

In this way, he was able to do almost no casualties and finally achieve the greatest victory. Strategically, there is nothing wrong with this.

But Li Xin suddenly stepped in, and although he didn't directly participate in the battle, he just hit Murong Ke where he least wanted it. In this way, as long as this kind of transaction between Huashan Army and Huan Wen is maintained, there is no doubt that the big war between Yan Guo and Huan Wen may still have to be fought.

What he was most worried about was that in a few months, after the change of time, it would become favorable to Huan Wen. When the time comes, it will definitely become more difficult for your side to win.

Especially the army of Murong Chui in Luoyang City, although it is said that it has already transported a lot of grain and grass materials to the city before to support the battle of fortification. But there is a limit to that after all, once it exceeds this limit, Luoyang City will definitely not be able to hold on any longer.

And now Luoyang City is surrounded on all sides, even if you want to support again, you can't help the people inside. Unless you can cooperate with the outside and tear a hole in the encirclement of Huan Wen's army.

"King, Huashan Army is doing this~ thing, it is obviously uneasy and kind! If we sit back and watch his continuous support for Huan Wen, I'm afraid we will all have to be dragged in this place! Previously, we finally withdrew from the attack with the Huashan army, and if we were involved in the quagmire of Luoyang again, I was afraid that it would be unfavorable to the country and the imperial court! The staff next to him said worriedly.

"That's what I'm worried about! Otherwise, we can slowly consume it! It's just that we can't interrupt each other's transactions now! However, the west of Luoyang is not under our control, otherwise, the connection between the Huashan army and the Huanwen army will be cut off, and it will be safe! Murong Ke nodded and said.

There are also several counties to the west of Luoyang County, such as Henan County, Xin'an County, and Huangchi County! These three counties happen to be located along the road from Luoyang County to Nanlingguan.

When Murong Chui went to fight Nanling Pass, these counties were also under Jiang Zuo's control. But they allowed Murong Chui's army to pass under the city, and they didn't dare to stop it at all.

Later, Murong Chui plotted against Luoyang City, because of the military strength and strategic arrangement, so he only occupied Luoyang City and Heyin County to the west. The nearby Henan County, Wushi County and Gong County, because they just surround Luoyang County, were also taken down by him and used to protect Luoyang.

But after the war began, in addition to Heyin County, Henan County and other three places were recaptured one after another under the superior forces of Huanwen because of the small number of troops. As a result, the county seats in Henan County on the south bank of the Yellow River that are still under Murong Ke's control are now only Luoyang County and Heyin County.

Due to the blockage of Kunshan Mountain and the stubbornness of Huanyun's army, even if Murong Ke wanted to send troops to cut off the Northern Kunhan Ancient Road, which was the grain road from Hongnong to Huanwen's army, he couldn't do it at all.

In this way, he could only watch the steady stream of food from Hongnong County and even Guanzhong to Luoyang City to supply the Huanwen army.

"If this continues, the strength between us and Huan Wen will inevitably rise and fall! After a long time, Luoyang City will be lost! We have to find a way to solve this matter as soon as possible! The staff member said.

"I'm thinking about it! Before, I always wanted to wait for change, and take the initiative to retreat after Huan Wen couldn't hold on. Now it seems that we have to take the initiative! Murong Ke let out a long sigh and said slowly.

Not to mention Murong Ke's plan to deal with Huan Wen, but also Li Xin's side, after getting Huan Wen's reply, he immediately called Wu Hui over and asked him to personally lead people to Shangluo.

From there, if you leave Wuguan, you can form a fleet and go directly south along the Han River to Gangneung, the base camp of Huanwen. After that, the grain was directly withdrawn from there, transported by water to outside Wuguan, and temporarily stationed in Shangluo County.

In this way, the grain can be slowly transported back to Guanzhong in the future. Not only is the volume of a single shipment large, but the cost is much lower. After all, after the ship arrived at Xichuan, it was not particularly far from Wuguan.

For the Huashan Army, which has just gone through a lot of consumption, it is definitely a very beneficial thing to suddenly have such a big business at this time. Especially the Xu Fuzi of the household department, after hearing about this incident, their brows stretched a lot, and they were full of praise for Li Xin for several days.

Of course, what everyone hasn't said is that there is other meaning behind this matter, that is, the military significance.

Although Li Xin didn't say it explicitly, everyone also understood that no one wanted Luoyang City to become the territory of Yan Kingdom. After all, the relationship between Huashanjun and Jiang Zuo now, although it is not too good because of the previous incident, it is not too bad!

This Luoyang City is in the hands of Jiang Zuo, it is better than falling into the hands of Yan State. More importantly, as long as Luoyang City is in Jiang Zuo's hands, Hongnong Shangluo and other places are facing the pressure of Yan State, and Jiang Zuo can bear it.

In this way, for Huashan Army, the pressure will be greatly reduced, and it will become a lot safer.

If Jiang Zuo and Yan Guo fought to the death in this battle, it would be more beneficial to themselves. You don't have to get Luoyang yourself, but at least you can go further, for example, take back the remaining two counties in Hongnong County!

The subtlety in this, whether it is Huan Wen or Murong Ke, they can see it clearly. But they just can't avoid it. Especially Huan Wen, knowing that Li Xin sending food to himself was not necessarily a good thing, but he still had to accept it.

Because this is Li Xin's scheme, after he shows it, it is your business whether he can accept it or not. Anyway, whether Huan Wen gets on the boat or not, it doesn't have much impact on Huashan Jun, but Huan Wen himself has to get on the boat.

The only thing he could do was to put an end to this war in the shortest possible time. In that case, the relationship between him and Li Xin could be ended.

Otherwise, the longer the time drags on, the last winner of this war will be more likely to be an outsider to the Huashan Army.

When the grain from Jiangling continued to be transported to Shangluo, the grain from Hongnong and other places continued to be transported to Huanwen's army. Between this in and out, it is more than one percent of the profit, although it is not said to be a huge profit, but it is also a lot of profit.

Under such circumstances, the generals from all over the country who received Li Xin's order finally rushed back to Chang'an City one after another, preparing to meet Li Xin, the general.

Liu Xiaohai and Liao Chuan and the others were closer, so they came back the fastest. And Zhou Tong and Hu Tian were the farthest, and naturally they arrived the latest, three days later than Liu Xiaohai.

"Old Black, you're here too? Why, didn't the general summon you? The day after he came back, Zhou Tong rushed to the outside of the general's mansion early in the morning, ready to ask for a meeting. I just saw Li Erhei, Liu Xiaohai and Liao Chuan standing outside the door, and couldn't help asking.

"The general is not in the mansion, how can he be summoned! Several of them have been here for three days since the day they came back, and they have never seen the general! It's a good day, it looks like everyone is here! Let's go! I'll take you to the General! As he was talking, Tu Qi's voice suddenly came from behind him.
