On February 18, Guan Suo marched into a fire pig formation, annihilating more than 2,000 rear troops of Eastern Wu and 5,000 people with the army and civilians, and Lu Shu, the chief general of the Wu army, was killed.

"Hurry up and send an order to Tian Huanglian and the others, let them gather at least 20,000 righteous people to intercept Wu Gou's follow-up troops."

"No!"

"Come back."

"What else does the leader of the middle army command?"

"Make it clear to Tian Huanglian that according to the report of the scouts a few days ago and the estimates on the battlefield today, Wu Gou's follow-up troops have at most 1,000 soldiers, and the rest are all soldiers and civilians. If my 20,000 righteous people of Wuling Mountain can't even take down this little enemy, then I will have to think carefully about whether it makes sense to continue to keep these properties in Fuling County. ”

"Command!"

Looking at the scouts who left in a hurry, Zhang Wei looked at Guan Suo with his adoring eyes: "Zhongjunjun, what should we do next?" ”

Unconsciously after a cold war, Guan Suo said: "Hey, when we were in Fuling County before, we never deliberately ignited so much tung oil. So I really didn't expect this thing to be so powerful after it burned on a large scale. Now it's okay, Lu Youjie has only walked out fifty or sixty miles, and when he sees the firelight here, he will definitely return with the whole division. No, we're going to have a hard fight. ”

In the era of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, there was no lighting of all kinds. So at night, if there is no moonlight, the whole world is as black as ink. Because of this, once a place is lit with a fire, then this light will travel far and wide in the night sky.

Not to mention the fact that hundreds of tung oil have been ignited one after another, thousands of people have been roasted, and the whole sky has been completely red tonight.

Although Ji Han generally had a kind of contempt for the generals of Eastern Wu. But this contempt does not include Lu Kang. Therefore, whether it is Guan Suo or Zhang Wei, he will not expect Lu Kang to be stupid, and after seeing the movement here, he will divide his troops to investigate. On the contrary, he will definitely come with a main division of seven thousand men.

"Hey, I originally thought that the terrain on the side of the cement factory was high in the north and low in the south, and it would be possible to intercept it in a condescending manner there. Just now, that's it...... Then came the uphill battle. But it's okay, how can you always rely on stratagem when you fight? After the order was given, the main force of our army of 5,000 formed a formation in front of the enemy's return to the army. The other 20,000 volunteers in the vicinity planted banners in the mountains and forests on both sides of the avenue to be suspicious soldiers. When the two sides are in a scorching position, they will be wiped out together! I heard that there was a general named Lu Mu in Wu Gou's former army? Is it the son of a dog thief in Lümeng? I was going to take the hearts and livers of the descendants of the Lu family to pay tribute to my deceased father! ”

"Yes!"

……

As Guan Suo expected, after seeing the southern sky being reflected red, Lu Kang immediately issued an order for the whole army to turn around.

But to Guan Suo's surprise, Lu Kang did not follow the same path and returned to enter the pocket array he had designed. Instead, with his guide, he led his troops directly into another mountain.

In the Wuling Mountains, there are no roads everywhere, but there are roads everywhere. So Lu Kang limped like this, and directly made Guan Suo's pocket array fall into the void.

"Hiss~~ Why didn't this Lu Youjie cooperate with Ben and die obediently! This guy is really ruthless to the extreme. Thousands of rear troops, tens of thousands of people. Say don't want it? ”

Two days later, Guan Suo and others, who had been waiting on the avenue for Lu Kang to come, finally received a report from the aborigines of Wuling Mountain. At this time, Lu Kang was already more than a hundred miles away from Guansuo.

"In the middle of the army, the enemy army has lost all its baggage, and it will not be supported by any cottage when it walks through the mountains. So how many days can this food last? Zhang Wei asked for his life and led the army to pursue! ”

"Hmm......" After taking a moment to think, Guan Suo raised his head, looked at the endless mountains in his eyes, and then shook his head.

"Leader in the middle!"

"I can't catch up, the distance between the two sides is now more than a hundred miles, this is a mountain road. You'll have to walk for at least two days. Even if everyone catches up without sleep, how much combat power will be left? If I am a land resistance, I can completely repair a day in advance when I am sure that the other party is constantly pursuing, and then wait for work. ”

"Then we're going to let them go?"

"Hehehe, Zimiao, you just said it yourself. Their logistical baggage is gone. The food you carry with you can last five or six days at most. This bit of food limits Lu Youjie's ability to maneuver. So, we don't have to go after them. Because, no matter how they climb through the mountains, there is only one destination: Qianling County in Wuling County. We just have to go there and wait for them. ”

"I see. Leader of the Middle. ”

"It's not a high opinion, it's just the head of the Lu family kid on the other team, Ben Jiang really wants it. Someone, herald! The local volunteers continued to hunt down Wu Gou's follow-up grain transport troops. The captured captives were tied up and sent to Fuling County. When the time comes, I, the Taishou Mansion of Fuling County, will pay to buy prisoners from the righteous people. The price is sure to satisfy everyone. The main force of our army, after a short rest, prepared food and advanced to Qianling County in the southeast! ”

"No!"

Just when Guan Suo changed his strategic goal and led the main force to take the initiative to counterattack in Soochow. However, Lu Kang's army was struggling to advance in the mountains a hundred miles southwest of the Guansuo team.

From the moment he saw the sky behind him dyed red two days ago, Lu Kang knew that this battle was not to be fought. Only when you enter Fuling County do you know how terrible the people's hearts here are to the subordination of the Jihan government. If the main force of this side hurriedly returned to the rescue of the rear army, there was no doubt that this army would inevitably be besieged by tens of thousands of barbarian strong men.

Therefore, he immediately made a decision and immediately led his troops into the mountains. Turn due south.

"General Shangda, we are in this direction now, but we are getting farther and farther away from Qianling County."

"It's okay, let's not move the tomb. Go to Wuyang County. After receiving supplies there, retreat north along the Yuanshui. ”

"Going to Wuyang?" Zhang Zheng was stunned for a moment and then reacted: "What does the general mean that the enemy will go to Qianling and wait for us?" ”

"Yes! Our army is short of food, even if we take the nearest road and are not disturbed along the way, and we will definitely be exhausted and hungry when we get out of this mountain and return to Qianling. At that time, the enemy army set up an ambush near Qianling, and our army was definitely annihilated. Only by not going east, but continuing to the south, can our army have a glimmer of life. ”

"The Admiral understood. It's just that I went to Wuyang, at least fifteen days along the way, and the food of our army? ”

"Collect all the food of the whole army and distribute it in a unified manner. It is imperative that officers and men are unanimous. Sons, I'll leave this matter to you. Tell the officers at all levels that if we don't starve with the soldiers at this time, the soldiers can kill us first and then surrender to the Shu thieves. When the time comes, no one will be able to get out of this mountain! ”

"The last general commands!"

"Well, Ji Yang, I'll give you two thousand people, you divide them into ten teams and take turns to hunt! Ben will know that in this big mountain, there are mobs everywhere who are attached to Shu thieves. It is very dangerous for a squad of this size to act alone. But there is no way, our army is safe with thousands of people acting together, but the wild beasts in the vicinity have all run out, and our army will not get any supplies. So, it's only hard for you. ”

"The last general is ordered, please rest assured that the general is superior. We will definitely do our best to replenish our army with more food. ”

……

With the mobilization of Lu Kang, Guan Suo's idea of encircling and annihilating the remaining troops of Eastern Wu once again failed. But Ji Han didn't get nothing this time.

In addition to the annihilation of more than 2,000 Wu troops at one time, in the follow-up pursuit of mountains and forests, there were seven or eight hundred more beheadings and more than 23,000 prisoners on the report card of the successive Han troops. On the first day of March of this year, Guan Suo led his army to Qianling City in Wuling County, Eastern Wu. Qianling City, which was only guarded by dozens of county soldiers, surrendered without a fight. The eastern gate of the Wuling Mountains has changed hands since then. Ji Han has a strategic high ground directly overlooking the hinterland of Jingzhou in Eastern Wu.

On 7 March, Lu Kang led his army out of the Wuling Mountains with great difficulty and entered Wuyang County. When they entered the county seat, there were only more than 4,000 people left in the whole army.

"Your Majesty, capital crime! The minister was ordered to capture the two counties of Yong'an and Fuling in Western Shu. The Yongan thief chief could not hold out, and the ministers had nothing to do but turned to attack Fuling County. Unexpectedly, the local natives stubbornly refused to accept the king, and even attached all the thieves to fight with the king...... After this battle, the minister was deeply touched. Thousands of miles of Wuling Mountains, nearly 100,000 natives, more than ninety percent of them are attached to Shu thieves. Wang Shi fought in his own country's Wuling County. There is also a feeling of being in the depths of the enemy country, and there are enemies everywhere. In this way, there is an urgent need to change the course of our country's national policy, otherwise, the minister may have something unbearable to say. ”
