"Hehe, no wonder you don't know." Gan Ning smiled in the face of several people's questions.

"I'll tell you why the Han army retreated. In fact, all you know is that you are drowning! Actually, there's one more thing you don't know! Gan Ning deliberately sold a pass.

Tian Feng looked at Gan Ning's smug expression, and said helplessly: "Okay!" Don't sell it! Hurry up! ”

"Hahahaha, in fact, another reason is that the grain and grass of the Han army were intercepted by me! Wowha! Gan Ning burst into laughter.

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised. After Tian Feng was surprised, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Xingba, what you said is true?" So where is the grain and grass? ”

"Hahaha, military advisor, I'm a dignified seven-foot man, standing between heaven and earth. How can you lie? It's just that it was too troublesome at first, so I let my brothers hide in a cave outside the city. Gan Ning said with a smile.

"Great! Now the food matter is solved! Tian Feng said excitedly. You must know that the military rations of the 200,000 Han army are not a few! And it's also military rations, and it will definitely be more refined.

"Okay. Ahem, now, the problem can be considered solved. When Xu Huang heard this, he was also very excited, if it weren't for the difficulty of standing up now, Xu Huang would have stood up from the ground a long time ago.

When a few people saw it, Xu Huang coughed again, and hurriedly approached to take care of it.

"Okay, now that the matter is settled, tomorrow as long as Xingba leads people to fetch the grain, then the food crisis will be over, and the next step is to speed up the recovery of the fields, so that they can be cultivated again in the spring of the next year. Come and send General Xu back to his house and take care of him. Tian Feng randomly asked people to send Xu Huang back to the house.

...........................................

At this time, under Shijiazhuang, thousands of miles away, there was already a shouting of killing. I saw that the Han army on the city tower, under the command of the general, constantly repelled the Xiongnu soldiers who attacked the city.

Under the city tower, there were already corpses in the field, and the city walls were also stained red with blood.

"Temujin, after this Shijiazhuang, then the people of the Central Plains outside the river will only have a line of defense left in Jingcheng Pass. When the time comes, you and I can divide our troops into two roads, all the way along Jingcheng, all the way along Xingtai, and then the iron hooves of our tribe can step into the Central Plains. Hahaha "At this time, the Huns Da Dan Yu - called back to stop the road.

And Temujin looked at the city tower and shook his head and said: "Big brother, you can't help but think too lightly, let's not talk about it, can we take this Shijiazhuang." Now we are running thousands of miles, and it is difficult to transport the grain and grass behind us. Three days later, if we can't take Shijiazhuang again, I'm afraid that our army will retreat! ”

"And the deployment of Zhuojun and Yanmen Pass is not as good as Shijiazhuang. The defenders of Shijiazhuang are not comparable to the group of county soldiers in Zhuo County, they are real regular troops! In case, if the Han army arrives, then it will be difficult for us to get out! I hope that the eldest brother will think twice! ”

"Alas! Temujin, don't grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige. Just this way, even cities such as Yanmen Pass and Zhuojun have let our iron hooves step open! This Shijiazhuang is just a city tower higher! Besides, what if it's a regular army? Could it be that the warriors of our tribe are worse than these regular armies?

Moreover, we have been fighting for almost two months, and if the Han army has the heart to reinforce, I am afraid that we will climb to it! Moreover, now Liu Bang is dealing with Xiang Yu, and he has no time to care about us! Don't say three days, just one day, I believe that our Xiulin Department can step into the city! At that time, we will be able to replenish our food and grass again. You're completely unfounded. Hu Huizhi said with some dissatisfaction in the face of Temujin's words.

After all, Temujin was extremely intelligent since he was a child, and there were many supporters in the tribe, and his father and Han originally valued Temujin, if it weren't for Temujin, he liked to read books from the Central Plains on weekdays. Because of this, he angered his father Khan, otherwise this single position would not have been his turn to sit. Hu Huizhi often thinks in his heart that his brother's ability is more outstanding than his own, and he is angry.

Temujin only shook his head in the face of his half-brother's words, but did not say anything more. I was just wondering if Kublai Khan had done a good job of what he had told him. After all, if the Han army's support troops arrive, it will be difficult! Now far away from the tribe, most of the Hun soldiers were not interested in how much food was in the captured city, but after looting, they abandoned the city and continued to plunder the next place. If this is the case, then in another thousand years, their own people can only be a migratory people on the prairie, and they will never be able to sit in the Central Plains!

And the call on the side directly ignored his brother's expression, and instead ordered: "Step up the siege." ”

At this time, the commander on the city tower was Zhang Er's own son, Zhang Ao.

This Zhang Ao, when he was young, participated in the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang with his father Zhang Er, and was later named Chengdu Jun. In the fifth year of Han Gaozu, he was named King of Zhao. Later, he married Princess Lu Yuan, the eldest daughter of Gaozu. In the seventh year of the Han Dynasty, when Gaozu passed Zhao, his son-in-law was very courteous, but he was insulted. Zhao Xiangguan Gao used this to assassinate Gao Zu, but failed. The following year, he was implicated and imprisoned. Later, because Guan Gao tried his best to defend and saved his life, Princess Lu Yuan still kept aligned and never gave up, and Zhang Ao was also demoted to the Marquis of Xuanping.

Twenty days ago, Zhang Ao received a request for help from the guards of Yanmen Gate. Zhang Ao then set off from Xingtai with 3,000 people.

Unexpectedly, before he arrived in Shijiazhuang, he heard that the Xiongnu had taken Zhuojun and were rushing towards Shijiazhuang. didn't do it, Zhang Ao also quickly took 3,000 people to Shijiazhuang to garrison, waiting for the arrival of the Huns. On the one hand, he ordered people to hurry up 800 miles, and went to inform his father to quickly lead the troops back to help.

Zhang Ao took 3,000 people, plus the original 5,000 defenders of Shijiazhuang, a total of 8,000 people, and started a war with the Xiongnu in this way.

Although there were as many as 30,000 Xiongnu in the south, most of them were cavalry and were not good at siege warfare. Under the desperate resistance of these 8,000 people, the Xiongnu were still suppressed.

The battle has lasted for three days, and the defenders of Shijiazhuang have repelled more than 20 times at the cost of 3,000 people, and the Xiongnu charge annihilated more than 6,000 Xiongnu cavalry.

At this time, the defenders of Shijiazhuang were now exhausted from the high-intensity fighting of the past three days. Zhang Ao had no choice but to personally supervise the battle in order to stabilize the morale of the army.

After all, this Zhang Ao followed his father and fought a lot of battles. Three times, Temujin's general Jebe was forced to retreat from the castle tower.

Now the defenders in the city are completely relying on perseverance and Zhang Er's reinforcements, desperately resisting, otherwise they would have already surrendered!
