Chapter 313: A Good Excuse

Not to mention the 3,000 men and horses on Niu Ba's side, there are more than 8,000 people on his side alone, and the Huashan Army actually only uses 5,000 soldiers and horses to dare to cut off their own back road. I have to say that Zhang Ju at this moment suddenly had a feeling of being deeply despised. "General, although the other party only has 5,000 men, its combat power is not bad, so let's be careful! Besides, I don't know what the other party thinks or why. What's more, I don't know how to decide, let's be cautious~ as well! One of the generals next to him, looking at his expression, seemed to understand what he was thinking, and couldn't help but remind.

His words made Zhang Ju sober up a little. Indeed, although he has an advantage in numbers, he may not be able to beat the Huashan Army in a real fight. Besides, now that the Huashan Army is powerful, Zhang Qian may not be willing to fight with the Huashan Army.

"After we take the Western Capital first, and then go back to the division to recover Jincheng County, what do you think?" After thinking for a while, Zhang Ju asked.

His idea cannot be said to be problematic, at least, on the surface, it sounds riskless, or it can be said to be the safest solution at the moment. After all, it is a great thing not to lose Xiping County, and to be able to recover Jincheng County, which was occupied by the Huashan Army!

"General, although it is safe to do this, but now that the weather is getting colder, I am afraid that this Xiping County will start to snow heavily! And this Xidu County, I'm afraid it won't be able to take it in a few days. When the time comes, if we want to go east, I'm afraid it won't be so easy! Moreover, the Huashan Army held Yunjie County and Haokang County, which is equivalent to blocking our back road. If you really spend it here until the beginning of spring next year, the people in Xiping County will be poor, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to support the consumption of the army! After pondering for a long time, a general couldn't help but say helplessly.

What he said was the truth, Xiping County, because it is located on the plateau, and the latitude is relatively high. As a result, the snow comes much earlier every year than in other places. Originally, the road was very difficult to navigate, and if the road was closed by heavy snow, this Xidu County would basically be isolated from the world!

If you don't stay in Guzang County, you have to defend it here, and it may be over, no one wants it!

"If this is the case, then we can only return to the division quickly and take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Huashan Army to recapture Yunjie County and other places. The best way is to go back to the north of Jincheng County and join the 4,000 army there! In this way, at least the route of the Huashan Army's march to Wuwei County can be blocked! If it is not good, it should also be stationed outside Yunjie County, waiting for the order of the envoy! Seeing that everyone meant this, Zhang Ju had no choice but to say.

This proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone, and after discussing it properly, Zhang Ju ordered the army to march immediately, preparing to return to the east of Yunjie County to discuss it again! At the same time, he also sent someone to inform Niu Ba, asking him to leave some soldiers and horses to guard Anyi County, and then rush to join him.

At the beginning, Hu Tian took Jincheng Pass and other places in one fell swoop, and Zhang Qian sent 4,000 men and horses to garrison north of Jincheng County, which was also intended to block Hu Tian and their march to the west of the river. However, this time Hu Tian's action was taken from Qingshi Pass in the west of Jincheng County! So, the 4,000 centaurs barely played their due role.

Although they also got the news of the Huashan Army's troops, they knew that several county towns were occupied. But they didn't dare to act rashly, and they didn't even dare to go to the rescue, because they didn't know if there were more Huashan troops waiting in Jincheng County in the south.

They thought that as long as their side went to rescue other counties, the Huashan army would immediately leave Jincheng County, and then chase and kill themselves, and even directly attack Wuwei County! As a result, they are in a very awkward situation.

After taking Yunjie County and resting for one night, Hu Tian led some soldiers and horses to capture Haokang County. If this county is taken again, this operation will basically have a foundation.

The situation in Haogan County is not much better than that in Yunjie County, because they have long known the news of the Huashan Army's call, so they have prepared first. However, this preparation was not a resistance, but a direct surrender.

Because there are not many guards in Haokan County, and besides, there are many people who are dissatisfied with Zhang Qian now. Although there are only two people who rebel, it is still possible for others to surrender. In this way, the last piece of the puzzle in Jincheng County has also been filled.

After arranging the defense of Haokang County, Hu Tian immediately rushed back to Yunjie County, preparing to face Zhang Ju's army with Zhou Tong.

"The spies have already inquired clearly, and that Zhang Ju heard that the back road was cut off and there was a danger of being blocked in Xiping, so he immediately ordered to retreat! According to the time, he should rush to the south of Yunjie County before tomorrow afternoon, and judging from Zhang Ju's personality, he should choose to face us across the river! In the county office, Zhou Tong said to a group of generals.

"Will he choose to attack the county immediately?" A deputy general asked!

"Probably not, after all, they returned in a panic, their morale is not stable, and they have to rest first. If you attack rashly, you will only bring about your own destruction! That Zhang Ju is not so stupid! Hu Tian shook his head and said categorically.

Yunjie County is located in the valley at the junction of the Gemen River and the Huangshui, on the east bank of the Gemen River and the north bank of the Huangshui! This place, the terrain is relatively open, but it's not big enough to go. Both the south and west sides of the city are rivers, which are natural places of protection.

If it weren't for Zhou Tong and their quick arrival, and the guards in the city didn't react, I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy to take here. At the very least, it will drag on for a longer period of time.

There is also a river beach on the south bank of Huangshui, which is a suitable place for Zhang Ju's army. Whether he wanted to siege the city or not, that place should be his best choice.

"The enemy is huge, and we have too few troops, so we must take a little precaution first! Lao Hu, tonight, you lead a thousand men and horses and quietly go out of the city! After considering the strength of both the enemy and us, Zhou Tong said to Hu Tian.

"Understood! You can rest assured! Hearing this, Hu Tian immediately understood his thoughts and nodded hurriedly.

Then, Zhou Tong explained everyone's tasks again! In short, with only half of the enemy's men and horses in his hands, he must also achieve victory.

Everything was as they expected, and the next afternoon, Zhang Ju led a large army to the south of the county seat. Then, the army of 10,000 people set up camp in the south of the city, and at a glance, it occupied the entire river beach opposite, and the military camp was longer than the southern city wall of the county seat!

The two armies confronted each other, and the situation suddenly became tense. When Zhou Tong went to the city to observe the enemy's situation, Zhang Ju was also leading people to stand by the river and look at the city.

"Send messengers over and ask them why they have offended my Liangzhou County for no reason! Let them return as soon as possible, and they can be safe, otherwise, Hugh will blame me for being rude! After taking a look, Zhang Ju instructed the people beside him.

Soon, several horses rushed to the county seat, and after crossing the river, they were taken to the city by hanging baskets.

"Your army has offended my Liangzhou for no reason, but you can't go to war? For the sake of the alliance with your Huashan Army against Fu Qin, my general can let you go! As long as you immediately return to Qinzhou and return Jinchengguan and other places, this matter can be regarded as if it did not happen! The envoy was arrogant, and after entering the city, he said contemptuously to Zhou Tong.

"Raising troops for no reason? Go back and tell your general, this time our Huashan Army sent troops, but it was asked for help by the Xiping Wei Wei Mansion Jun. Second, since you formed an alliance at the beginning, you actually dared to take in the remnants of Fu Qin, which is obviously to make enemies of our Huashan army! This time we sent troops, which is exactly what it is right to do! Hearing this, Zhou Tong smiled coldly, then slapped the table and said angrily.

His anger frightened the messenger, and he thought that Zhou Tong was going to kill him. However, after hearing this reason, he was also stunned.

Because he just remembered that in Guzang City, it seems that there are indeed Fu Jian Fu Fa and others! If you really want to say it, it seems that it is really your own side that betrays the alliance first!

"What the general said is wrong, then Wei Qi is a thief in Liangzhou, how can he ask for help on behalf of Liangzhou? Moreover, Fu Jian, Fu Fa and others were originally taken in by Zhang Zuo, and now they are the monarchs of my family, what does it have to do with him? After thinking for a moment, the messenger had no choice but to speak.

"General Ben won't talk this nonsense to you, go back and tell your general! Take in the remnants of Fu Qin, this is a provocation to our Huashan army! You have to pay a price! Zhou Tong didn't bother to say more to the other party, so he waved his hand directly and asked people to send them out.

The messenger hurried back to the barracks and immediately told the whole story. This kind of thing is no longer something that these little people can manage.

And after hearing these two reasons, Zhang Ju couldn't help but be furious and said, "Okay, you are Zhoutong, you actually gave me this set!" The hateful Wei Qi actually recruited the Huashan Army! ”

"General, what should be the current situation? The other party used these two excuses to not leave, and wanted to make them take the initiative to withdraw from the army, but I am afraid that it is impossible! "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Huashan Army sent troops this time, not for these two things at all. Seeing this, the general next to him had to ask.

"According to the general, it is better to inform Lord Shang Shuling of this matter, and ask him to decide! After all, the strength of the Huashan army is not weak, and it is better to fight peacefully or let Shang Shuling be the master! A general proposed.

"You're right! In this matter, let's ask Shang Shuling first! Taking advantage of this opportunity, let's take a break and prepare for the big war first! Hearing this, Zhang Ju couldn't help but nodded.

Subsequently, he immediately wrote a letter, and then sent someone to ride a fast horse and rushed to Guzang County to report the letter. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Eastern Jin Dynasty Tang Wang's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
