Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

He Lu bowed to Liu Xiushen and said: "The lord is as kind to the villain as a mountain, and the villain remembers it in his heart!" ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Don't be polite to me, I said, I'm just passing by, and by the way, I'll send a little maid to Miss Miaoying." As he spoke, he glanced at Tian Xiuyue.

"Yes, yes, yes! The villain is the dog girl, thank you to the lord! As he spoke, He Lu respectfully bowed to Liu Xiu.

After a pause, he said: "Lord, there are five hundred stones of grain to be transported to Xiangcheng tomorrow, and the villain has also collected batches of medicinal materials from some medicine farmers. ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said with a smile: "Well done!" "Grain and grass are important, and medicinal materials are equally important, and now there is a shortage of any resources in the army, such as grain, grass, and medicinal materials, of course, the more important resources the better.

"Okay, I've sent the person, it's time to go back!"

He Lu hurriedly said: "The villain sends off the lord!" ”

Seeing Liu Xiu and his party walk away, He Lu sighed, and then his eyes turned and fell on Tian Xiuyue, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said with a smile: "Miss Tian, it's been a long time!" ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand behind him, summoned two domestic servants, and dragged Tian Xiuyue into He's mansion.

On the way back to the county office, Liu Xiu asked, "The first grandson knows the shopkeeper, right?" ”

Saizun said: "There have been several faces, and there are not too many personal relationships. ”

Liu Xiu asked: "What does the first grandson think, how is the person who is the shopkeeper?" ”

Sai Zun pondered for a moment and said: "Shopkeeper He has a flexible mind, a smooth life, and a delicate face, although he used to help Li Wen and Jia Xuan do things, but he is still honest in business, and on weekdays, I have never heard of him bullying others." ”

I sharpened my head and tried hard to squeeze into the pile of scholars, but unfortunately I have not been very well received by the scholars. I don't really have much contact with He Lu, and I don't know much about him as a person, but I don't dislike him either.

The price of grain in Yongcang Grain Store is very expensive, but most of the profits go into Li Wen and Jia Xuan's pockets, and He Lu just follows Li Wen and Jia Xuan's butts and drinks some soup.

Liu Xiu listened quietly and didn't say anything more.

The next day, as He Lu said, Yongcang grain was paved with 500 stone of grain, as well as a batch of medicinal materials, He Lu did not keep it at all, and all of them were sent to the Han army camp.

During this time, the grain and grass raised by the Han army had 1,000 stones, and if one stone and 100 catties were calculated, it was 100,000 catties, which was not much, but it was also a lot, enough for 3,000 soldiers to eat for more than half a month.

On the third day, Liu Xiu led 3,000 cavalry, left Xiangcheng, and went straight to Yangzhai (di), the county seat of Yingchuan.

From Xiangcheng to Yangzhai, the cavalry marched and arrived in one day. As soon as the army followed Yang Zhai, they encountered spies on their side. The spies reported Yang Zhai's situation to Liu Xiu.

At present, the number of county troops in Yangzhai City is only about 2,000 people, but the number of strong men gathered is relatively large, there are five or six thousand people, and the city defense is perfect.

Perhaps it was the Han army that suddenly captured Xiangcheng, which also sounded the alarm for Yang Zhai's side, and these five or six thousand strong men were all just gathered by the county government in the past few days.

In addition, in the past few days, the county government has been organizing manpower, strengthening the city defense, and placing a large number of rolling wood and stones on the city, posing as a posture of defending Yangzhai.

After listening to the spies' report, Liu Xiu frowned secretly, there are more than two thousand county troops, which is indeed not much, but there are five or six thousand strong men to help defend the city, which is quite troublesome.

Liu Xiu led the troops, came to the vicinity of Yangzhai, climbed to a high place, and raised his eyes to look. Yangzhai's city gate has been closed, and the suspension bridge is high, because Yangzhai is next to Yingshui, the moat is not only wide, but the water flow is also turbulent. Looking at the Yangzhai city wall, it is the standard height of the city wall of three zhang and three, but because of the relationship of the moat, if the water depth of the moat is added, it is far more than three zhang three. Looking at the city, you can see piles of rolling wood and stones, placed in the city

On the wall, you can't see the edge. Liu Xiu shook his head secretly, this Yang Zhai, if you really want to attack it, its difficulty is not inferior to fighting Wancheng, not only requires a large number of troops, but also requires special lengthened ladders, ships, etc., which are definitely not something that their three thousand cavalry can gnaw

Got it.

Feng Yi urged him to step forward, came to Liu Xiu's side, and said, "Lord, Yang Zhai is a hard bone!" ”

Liu Xiu nodded with a wry smile and said, "With the current strength of our army, it is impossible to forcibly capture Yangzhai. ”

Ma Wu intervened on the horse and said: "Lord, my subordinates are willing to go to the enemy and scold the enemy!" ”

Liu Xiu thought about it, nodded in agreement, and said, "Zizhang, be careful!" ”

"Yes!" Ma Wu agreed, urged the horse to run down the high ground, and ordered two hundred cavalry, don't be good at fighting, as long as the voice is loud enough.

He took these two hundred cavalry and ran to a place a hundred steps away from Yang Zhai, and ordered his soldiers to curse the formation.

The two hundred loud cavalrymen first took out water bladders, moistened their throats, and then opened their throats and began to shout and curse outside the city.

first scolded Wang Mang, scolded the court, and then scolded the Yingchuan County Government, Taishou, and Duwei. At the beginning, he scolded quite righteously, but in the back, he scolded something ugly, even his father and mother, plus the eighteenth generation of the clan, all gave greetings.

In ancient wars, there was no war-free card in the commentary, and the enemy would not fight you as soon as you hung out, if there was such a treasure, there would be no war in history.

If one side does not dare to fight, there are only two ways, either run or retreat.

And the attacking side, when encountering a stubborn and stubborn enemy, is also quite a headache, there is no good way, either to attack hard, or to use the trick of cursing the enemy to scold the enemy from the fortifications.

Ma Wu took two hundred cavalrymen and scolded from morning to noon, and when it was noon, he changed a group of soldiers and continued to curse in front of the city.

The defenders at the head of Yang Zhai City were all scolded so that their faces were red and white, and some soldiers simply tore strips of cloth from their clothes, and they were all in a mess, blocking their ears.

This day was basically spent in the shouting and scolding of the Han army. Liu Xiu ordered to set up camp two miles south of Yangzhai City. In the Chinese military tent, Liu Xiu looked at the temporarily arranged Yangzhai sand table and had a headache.

Ma Wu led people, shouted and scolded all day, but failed to scold the county army from the city, and if his side wanted to attack Yang Zhai, and there was no chance of victory, the war suddenly fell into a stalemate, how can this be good?

Now that Liu Xiu is in trouble, Ma Wu, Cho Period, Feng Yi and others are also at a loss.

Ma Wu, who was sitting in the tent of the Chinese army, slapped his thigh and said angrily: "This Yingchuan Taishou and Du Wei are simply the eighth king!" Shrink in the city, and you won't be able to fucking live or die! ”

Liu Xiu paced back and forth in the Chinese military tent, bowing his head and silent. Feng Yizheng said: "Actually, our army is stationed outside Yangzhai City, which is equivalent to trapping the county town, and the people in the city can't get out, and the people outside the city can't get in. According to our report, the amount of grain and grass in the city is not large, but the population in the city

It's a lot, and if you trap it for a month or two, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the city! ”

Liu Xiu's pacing suddenly paused, and then continued to walk back and forth. Ma Wu thought for a while and said, "Gongsun is right! We are stationed outside the city of Yangzhai, if there are county soldiers to help, we will fight the county soldiers, if someone transports grain to the city, we will fight his grain transport team, although our army is only 3,000 soldiers, but all

It's cavalry, fast, 3,000 people, and it's enough to besiege a city! ”

Liu Xiu stopped suddenly, walked to the handsome case, looked down at the sheepskin map on it, dotted his finger on the map, and said: "Two thousand soldiers, continue to be stationed outside Yangzhai City, I can lead a thousand soldiers to attack Yangguan!" ”

Yangguan? Hearing Liu Xiu's words, everyone gathered around and looked at the map carefully.

Yangguan is located in the north of Yangzhai and is the only way to go north from Yangzhai. If Yangguan is defeated, it will not only cut off Yangzhai's retreat to the north, but also cut off the reinforcements in the north of Yangzhai. Feng Yi couldn't help but nod his head again and again while looking at the map, the corners of his mouth raised, and he exclaimed: "The lord has a wonderful plan!" The policy of the lord is to attack the city as the bottom and attack the heart as the top. Once Yang Zhai knows that Yangguan is lost and occupied by our army, the hearts of the soldiers in the city will definitely be

Turmoil, I'm afraid it won't take ten days and half a month, and chaos will be born in the city! Listening to Feng Yi's explanation, everyone present understood. Feng Yi continued: "And in Yangguan, I think that our army is all in Yangzhai, which must be a precaution, and our army suddenly divided a wave of soldiers and horses to attack Yangguan, but it can be taken by surprise and attacked unprepared.

Conquer it in one fell swoop! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ba intervened and said, "Lord, please allow your subordinates to accompany you!" ”

Ma Wu glared at Wang Ba, intervened and said, "The subordinates follow the lord and attack Yangguan!" Liu Xiu smiled, waved his hand and said: "Zizhang, Ci Guo, Gongsun, you and others need to stay in the camp and sit in command, during this period, if there are county soldiers to reinforce Yang Zhai, you must not let it enter the city, you must be outside the city, annihilate it in one fell swoop, and let Yang Zhai become."

Lonely City! In this way, after I lead the army to capture Yangguan, I can shake the fighting spirit of Yingchuan County! ”

Ma Wu, Cho Period, Feng Yi and the others looked at each other and nodded one after another, the words of the lord are not unreasonable.

The real purpose of fighting Yangguan is actually to shake the military heart of Yangzhai defenders, to put it bluntly, the main battlefield of this battle is still in Yangzhai, Yangguan, which is just a secondary battlefield.

Liu Xiu continued: "In this battle, Zhong Xian, Juqing, Ziwei, and Yuan Bo can fight with me!" ”

Zhu You, Gai Yan, Fu Jun, and Wang Ba all intervened in Liu Xiu's salute, and said in unison: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

The stronghold of the Yingchuan County Government was stubbornly defended, so that Liu Xiu had to give up the plan to attack Yangzhai, retreat to the second, and divide the troops into two routes, all the way to guard outside the city of Yangzhai, encircle the point to send reinforcements, all the way quietly bypassing Yangzhai, and hit Yangguan in the north of Yangzhai.

Yangguan is a pass in the north of Yangzhai, the same as Yangzhai, Yangguan is also next to Yingshui, one side is the mountain, the other side is the water, there is a road in the middle, the terrain is steep, the location is called unique.

If there are enough soldiers and horses in Yangguan and the guards are heavily guarded, not to mention that Liu Xiu brings a thousand soldiers and horses to attack, even if he brings 10,000 or even tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it will be difficult to defeat Yangguan.

However, there are not many defenders in Yangguan now, less than 500 people, and they never dreamed that the Han army, which was attacking the county town, would suddenly detour and come to attack them and garrison Yangguan.

Due to the fact that there was war going on in the southern part of Yingchuan during this time, many people began to migrate northward for fear of being affected.

Yangguan as a traffic artery, there are a lot of people who have to pass every day, and today is no exception, and the people who are ready to pass the customs are lined up outside for a long time.

Just when the soldiers guarding the pass carefully checked the people passing through the pass, they suddenly heard a rumbling sound in the distance. The soldiers and the people present looked for prestige, only to see a layer of sand and mist rising on the distant horizon, and because the distance was too far, it looked like a tornado was blowing over.
