In addition, the people of Luoyang County also discovered a fact that they could not imagine.

Since the hunters cleaned up the wild beasts that often infested and injured people in the mountains near Luoyang County, no one in the entire Luoyang County was injured by wild beasts. Even those people in Linxian County who braved the wind and snow in the winter to come to Luoyang County were also surprised by this after entering the territory of Luoyang County.

You know, when they were in their own county, there were many villagers around them who were injured by hungry beasts in winter.

As a result, the hunters in the county were concentrated to hunt and kill the beasts in the territory, which later became the favorite thing for the generals of the Jin Jue army to do in their spare time.

Originally, hunting was a favorite outdoor sport of ancient monarchs, and it was normal for generals to like it.

Li Feng led the army this time, but he could only feint and attack, and he couldn't show his archery skills at all, so he had to find a way to have some fun for himself. What's more, taking advantage of this time to hunt and kill wild beasts in the mountains can not only reduce the chance of the soldiers in the camp being injured by wild beasts at night, but also supplement the nutrition of themselves and their guards, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

Therefore, before Jin Jue himself launched an attack from Shangyong, they could not expose the powerful golden arm crossbow in advance.

Jin Jue didn't leave much of this thing along the way, and most of them were taken away by Jin Jue's five thousand elite soldiers.

As Jin Jue explained before leaving, there are not many of these divine weapons left here in Yangping Pass, and if they are used, they must gather fire to attack and kill the opponent's generals or other important people, not to snipe ordinary soldiers on Yangping Pass.

At this time, the generals of Yangping Pass were on the wall of the city, watching Jin Jue's army build a large camp outside the city in an orderly manner, and it was still a brick and stone structure, looking at each other one by one, and they didn't know how to deal with it at this time.

After Zhang Lu captured Hanzhong County, although he and Liu Zhang's army often fought, it was the first time that there were troops in Pingguan. According to common sense, shouldn't those who attack Seki Castle seize the time to capture Seki Castle as soon as possible in order to save food?

There are 70,000 or 80,000 people outside the city, and the amount of grain consumed in one day alone is very large. It's been a long time, not to mention Jin Juejun, even if Zhang Lu has accumulated a family foundation over the years, he can't withstand such consumption.

In the letter, the general guarding the pass cleverly exaggerated the Jin Jue army to 100,000 people, because it was about to be the autumn harvest, and the total number of soldiers guarding the pass in Yangping Pass at this time was only 20,000, so the generals guarding the pass saw the formation of the Jin Jue army, and they were a little weak.

It's just that Zhang Lujun on the gate didn't expect that the 70,000 people under the gate did not consume as much food as they guessed every day, after all, 60,000 old, weak, sick and disabled belonged to the vulnerable group, and Fu Gan gave them two meals of porridge with little soup and water every day, which was already good.

This is also a way to do it, Jin Juejun lacks enough food and arable land, and it is impossible to feed so many people by relying on Luoyang County and Wudu County alone. With an army of 70,000 and 60,000 people, he built a camp outside the pass, plus paddling, which is why Jin Jue must let Fu Gan build a strong camp outside the city.

After receiving the news from Yangpingguan, Zhang Lu immediately gathered his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.

"Big brother, what else is there to discuss, if you want me to say, you look up to that lame boy too much. The previous defeat was fundamentally caused by Yang Ren's incompetence, and if I had led the troops, I would have razed Luoyang County to the ground a long time ago. Therefore, this time, eldest brother, you must send me to take advantage of the fact that the other party's camp outside the gate has not been established and has not established a stable foothold, and swept it away in one fell swoop.

In my opinion, the general you sent to guard the pass is also a straw bag, he said that there are 100,000 people outside the pass, but the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army under that lame boy is mostly old and sick, even if he brings it all? It's just a waste of their own lack of food. As soon as Zhang Lu's subordinates gathered, his younger brother Zhang Wei said a word of impatience, and then he recommended himself.

Zhang Lu's face was not good after hearing this, but he also agreed with his younger brother's words in his heart, Jin Jue really wanted to pull 100,000 people under the city, which was tantamount to self-destruction, and he could drag himself to death with food alone.

"No! Never, my lord! As soon as Zhang Wei finished speaking, Yan Pu stood up and objected: "Lord, even if the general guarding the pass is a straw bag, but his eyes are not blind, and the other generals in the pass may exaggerate the total number of enemy soldiers, but according to my estimate, the difference with the real number is not too big." Even if he really had to be wrong, could the other generals and soldiers in the pass be wrong?

Therefore, it is not recommended to lead troops out of the customs at this time to engage the opponent directly. Since Jin Jue's debut, he has only fought two battles, but in each battle, he can see that this is as cunning as a fox, what if he sets up an ambush outside the pass? What's more, his subordinates estimated that judging from the grain reserves of Jin Jue's army and the grain income of Luoyang County and Wudu County, it was simply not enough to support more than 50,000 troops stationed outside Yangping Pass for too long.

Therefore, his subordinates suggested that the lord should send a capable general and increase his troops by 10,000 to assist in the defense of Yangping Pass. If you don't send troops, you can surrender without a fight. ”

"Big brother......" Zhang Wei was anxious when he heard this, and immediately shouted loudly.

It seems that he still wants to fight for it, but Zhang Lu doesn't want to give him this opportunity.

Yan Pu said that there was nothing wrong with that, if he could force the other party back without losing a single soldier, why not?

The current Jin Juejun is a clay pot, but Zhang Lujun has become porcelain. Once the two armies go head-to-head, the soldiers lost by Jin Jue's army are equivalent to reducing their own food consumption, but the soldiers lost by Zhang Lu's army are really losses.

"That's enough, this matter can be done according to the military advisor!" After speaking, Zhang Lu flicked the sleeves of his robe and stood up and left.

"Humph!" Zhang Wei snorted angrily, even if he was not convinced in his heart at the moment, what could he do?

In Zhang Lu's army, Zhang Lu is full of words, and it is not easy for him to be a younger brother.

At the same time, what Jin Jue and Fu Gan were worried about finally happened.

Yang Feng withdrew from the Tiger Prison Pass and Sima Yi also withdrew from Hongnong County, so Cao Cao immediately sent Zhong Xuan as a messenger to Ji County to meet Ma Teng in the name of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty

First of all, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty officially recognized Ma Teng's identity.

Ma Teng was appointed as the assassin of Liangzhou, the general of Zhenxi, and also canonized Ma Teng's three sons Ma Chao and other three as the three auxiliary guards.

It's just that what made Ma Teng's subordinates a little vigilant was that in front of Ma Teng, Zhong Xuan didn't mention Han Sui at all.
