Chapter 468: Lockdown

Under the seemingly calm situation, it has already begun to be dark, Liu Weichen thought that everything was secret, but he didn't know that he had already been seen through by others. Time passed slowly, and in July, the war in the area of Luoyang took a new turn.

Gaochang, who had been guarding for so long, finally couldn't bear it anymore at this time, so he gave up the city and ran south to Xingyang. In this way, all the soldiers and horses of the Yan army marched smoothly.

Except for Lu Hu, who was still honestly staying in Hanoi County, basically those who wavered had already been driven south of the Yellow River.

The development of the battle situation to this point is naturally a good thing for Yan Jun, but for Jiang Zuo, it is not a good sign. After all, if Murong Ke and the others fought all the way south, it wouldn't be long before they could directly advance to Huaishui or even the Yangtze River.

Under such circumstances, Huan Wen strictly ordered Taishan to guard Zhuge Yu and send troops to rescue Gao Chang and others. As a result, Zhuge You, who had returned from a big defeat before, gathered another 20,000 troops this time, advanced by land and water, and launched a counteroffensive against the Yan army.

In August, Zhuge You's army entered from Shimen and camped in the Hezhu area. This stone gate is a water gate between the Yellow River and its tributaries, and only when this stone gate is opened, the water of the Yellow River can enter the tributaries.

After that, Zhuge You and the Yan army commanded by Murong Ke fought a big battle outside Dong'e County. To say that the Jin army was also unlucky this time, because it happened to catch up with Zhuge Yu who was seriously ill, so the three armies had no owner, and no one could command the army normally.

As a result, the 20,000-strong army was defeated in the First World War and had to retreat south in a hurry. As a result, even the original Taishan County was lost. After the news came back to Jiankang, it immediately shocked those people in Jiangzuo's court.

Huan Wen and the others, who realized that the matter was getting serious, had to spend more energy to solve the matter this time at this time. Otherwise, if we continue to lose like this, I am afraid that it will shake the foundation of the country.

And just when Zhuge You's side was defeated, Liu Weichen, who was located in the Shuofang area, finally began to act. At the end of August, he personally led the most elite army of 30,000 in the clan, all of them with one man and two horses, and quietly began to move south.

"Great, this guy is finally here! Notify Li Erhei immediately and prepare to act! Li Xin, who got the news, immediately ordered.

And he himself began to prepare, quietly mobilizing 10,000 troops from Guanzhong, Hedong and other places, ready to march at any time.

On the fifth day of the ninth lunar month, the county was as lively as usual, and business travelers of all ethnic groups came and went here, busy with their business.

"Woo.......!" It was still half an hour or so before noon, when suddenly a long, desolate sound of a trumpet sounded in the midst of the bustling city, and all the sounds in the city were suppressed at once.

"What's going on? Where does the sound of the trumpet come from? Everyone was puzzled and turned their heads to each other. After all, it seems that such a voice has never been heard since the prosperity of the county!

"Maybe it's from the barracks! Maybe they're training, too? Someone speculated.

"If it's training, then why close the gates? I think something is going on! "Someone had sharp eyes and immediately noticed that something was wrong.

"Look, there's smoke outside the city!" Just when everyone was a little overwhelmed, someone suddenly shouted.

The people on the street glanced in the direction of the outside of the city, and sure enough, they saw a high pillar of smoke rising from the north, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Oh no, this is the wolf smoke and beacon fire outside the city, and the sound of the horn just now is the sound of the warning to close the city, there must be an enemy who has killed it. Otherwise, there would never be such a thing! After seeing this situation, someone suddenly reacted and panicked.

"Yes, yes, when the county was just established, the Huns went south to attack the Huashan army, and this situation also occurred in the city. Could it be that this time the Huns came to attack the county seat again? After hearing this, many old people in the city also understood.

As soon as they heard that the enemy was coming, the people on the street finally became chaotic, and the thought that there might be a panic in the future, everyone couldn't help but be afraid.

"General Ning Yuan has an order, the Hun army is coming, and the whole city will be blocked immediately, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave without a warrant! The people in the city should immediately go back to their quarters and stay well, and they should not move around the city at will, and if anyone dares to ignore military law and make trouble, they will be immediately killed! Just when everyone was a little panicked, several fast horses ran all the way down the street, shouting as they ran.

"Hurry up, the city is going to be closed, it looks like there is going to be a big war, let's go back and stay honestly!" When everyone heard this, they did not dare to stay on the street any longer, and the streets became empty and deserted at once.

The county yagnai has now become a command center. Since it is wartime, the biggest one here now is Sun Tie, the general of Ning Yuan, and in addition to that, Wu Hui. As for the newly arrived county magistrates and other officials, they can only stand below to listen to the orders at this time.

After Sun Tie assigned all the tasks, he let everyone go down and get busy. Above the lobby, there were only two people left, him and Wu Hui.

"Do you think this is a faint mind? Liu Weichen's last lesson was not enough, and this time he dared to beat us! Are we really blind and deaf? After walking down from behind the public case, Sun Tie walked to the door and stood, looked into the distance for a while, and said to Wu Hui.

"There's no way, who told us that we have too much wealth here? Doesn't the general often say that wealth moves people's hearts? Liu Weichen is probably like this! Wu Hui said lightly.

"Yes! As far as these things in the official treasury are concerned, I was a little excited when I first saw them, let alone those people. Especially since our county is far away from Guanzhong, for the enemy, it is like a piece of fat on the lips, and how many people can bear it! Hearing this, Sun Tie couldn't help but nodded.

"It's good that he's here, so we don't have to drag it out all the time. Last time, let him run away. But this time, we've made so many preparations, we definitely can't let them run again! ”

"Speaking of which, it's time for us to signal to the others, too!" Sun Tie smiled slightly, and then said.

When the whole city of Zhujuan County was closed down, forty miles away from the city, Liu Weichen led the army on the way.

"Shan Yu, you see that wolf smoke has risen in the south, and it is estimated that our whereabouts have been discovered by the Huashan Army!" The wolf smoke soared, and the Huns naturally saw it.

"In that case, there's no need for us to hide our whereabouts. After the order was given, the army immediately accelerated its march, rushed to the outside of the county as soon as possible, surrounded the county first, and then launched an attack after Ben Danyu arrived! Liu Weichen looked at it, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, at this distance, there is not much hindrance for the cavalry.

After the military order was transmitted, the Xiongnu army immediately sped up its speed and killed in the direction of Zhujuan County. On the ground, there were bursts of smoke and dust.

Since ancient times, all enemies from the north have generally gone through the Hetao region. The main reason is that this area can provide water and grass for the army, which not only solves the problem of camping the army, but also solves the problem of grazing horses.

If you pass through the Hetao area, you must follow the bank of the Yellow River. In this way, you can save a lot of effort, and you won't get lost because of this, which is naturally much more convenient.

Liu Weichen led the army south this time, because the terrain on the bank of the Yellow River was relatively flat, so the speed of the army's movement was much faster. And during this journey, the scouts sent by Liu Weichen also kept reporting to him the situation in Zhujuan County.

"The report is in the report, the Huashan Army in the county town has been closed with four gates, and the flags are waving above the city, and the guards are tight!"

"Qi Yu Shan Yu, the Huashan Army of Zhujuan County moved all the people outside the city into the city, and even if they didn't have time to move in, they all fled without a trace."

"Qi Yu Shan Yu, the small one inquired into the county seat, and this morning there was a large cart escorted by soldiers to the south, and it was less than two hours after leaving!"

"Wait, did you say the convoy just left not far away?" Liu Weichen, who was just nodding to show his understanding, heard this at this time, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately asked.

"Yes, those big cars are very heavy, and it looks like they won't be able to go far!"

"That's a good thing! How many big cars are there this time? And how many people are in charge of escorting? Liu Weichen thought for a while, and then asked.

"There are more than 100 carts in total, and they are all big wooden boxes! There were about 500 people escorted, and most of them were foot soldiers! The spy thought for a moment before replying.

"Isn't there usually only fifty or sixty cars? Why are there so many of them today? Liu Weichen wondered.

"I don't know if it's small. Come to think of it, it should have been a bumper harvest just recently, so the business in the county has been much better, and these gold and silver things are a lot more than usual! In addition, many people want to ship things back to sell before the cold weather, so the transaction volume is relatively large! "This spy is very thoughtful, and he is right.

"Makes sense! If you don't hurry up and trade at this time, I'm afraid that people from the north won't be able to go back this year. Hearing this, Liu Weichen no longer had any doubts, and nodded again and again.
