Chapter 226: Withdrawal?
Although there are a lot of fifty military sticks, it is still bearable for a man like Lao Wu who came out of the ups and downs, but it is not so easy for those children of the family who are pampered, only three people were killed, and there were many who were seriously injured, and those who could survive were okay, the worst was the general surnamed Wang, who was beheaded in front of the whole army, and the corpse was cut to pieces by the angry soldiers......
To tell the truth, Lao Wu is still very sympathetic to General Wang, who has been fighting with him for several years, his death is just Zhang Lu's attempt to appease the resentment of the soldiers, in other words, he is just a substitute for Lu Teng, Lao Wu knows that at this sensitive time, Zhang Lu will never dare to kill Lu Teng!
Kill Lu Teng, he completely formed a hatred with Liu Zhang, you must know that although the old state pastor Liu Yan is still alive now, but it must be a short life, Zhang Lu's power basically comes from the old state pastor Liu Yan who believes in him, and as soon as Liu Yan dies, his pillar in Chengdu will be completely gone, so now, Zhang Lu does not dare to tear off his face with Liu Zhang!
Zhang Lu wanted to capture Hanzhong, but without the support of Yizhou, it was impossible to succeed!
The hot pain on his ass made Lao Wu frown from time to time, but Lao Wu's heart was joyful, he knew that his plan had been successful for the most part! Lu Teng is arrogant and can't stand Zhang Lu's insult, and when they return to Chengdu, they will add another fire to themselves, not afraid that Lu Teng will not take revenge! At that time, he was able to successfully complete the task assigned to him by his old family!
Thinking about it, Lao Wu just lay on the bed in the camp tent and slept beautifully......
On the second day, Lao Wu lay on the grain truck that unloaded the grain and grass, and followed Lu Teng and others who were also on the road back to Chengdu, and when he returned to Chengdu, he could start to try his plan, but the most important thing is that in order to seize the time, he must be angry with Lu Teng on the way back to Chengdu, after all, he is the only one who has the strength to move Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu to turn against each other!
Nan Zheng Sun Yang, Xu Shu army camp. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At this moment, when most of the soldiers of the whole army have fallen asleep, the lights of the handsome tent have not been extinguished, and under the dim light, Sun Yang and Xu Shu are sitting face to face.
Although neither of them said a word, judging from the faces of the two of them, they were full of worry. As you can see, they're in big trouble!
"Ugh." After thinking for a long time, Sun Yang sighed, his mood was very heavy, he didn't expect that things would turn out so unfavorable to them, even if he had the ability to go to the sky, how could he be able to conjure up grain and grass for tens of thousands of people out of thin air?
That's right, now they're starting to run out of food.
After confronting Zhang Lu for so long, relying on the grain accumulated by the Hanzhong grain depot and the grain and grass that was secretly transferred from the land of Yingchuan, they can be regarded as holding on until now, but now, they are about to run out of ammunition, and the remaining grain of the whole army can no longer hold out for five days, and if they can't get grain and grass, they can only withdraw their troops and give up Nanzheng, the political center of Hanzhong!
In fact, Xu Shu had already foreseen the shortage of grain, but he thought that when they insisted on the harvest of summer grain in Hanzhong, they could still spend months with Zhang Lu, but a sudden heavy rain ruined all this, and the first batch of harvested summer grain was drenched in heavy rain due to poor management, and most of them are now moldy and sprouted, and there is no way to eat them at all!
It coincided with the rainy season in Hanzhong, which has been rare for hundreds of years, and many counties have been raining for several days, and it is impossible to harvest grain and grass, which has led to their current predicament.
"Yuan Zhi, is there really no food in Hanzhong? What do those big families say? As long as you can buy food and grass, you can spend no matter how much it costs! Sun Yang rubbed his head and said, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and he didn't expect that this accident would cause them so much trouble.
"Childe, Shu has already sent someone to do it, but Childe, don't report too much hope, these families have no good impression of us foreign forces, plus the current battle situation is so anxious, before the result, these wall grasses will not easily fall to either side." Xu Shu shook his head and said, he has dealt with the Hanzhong family a lot, and he knows a lot about them, and he knows very well that they may be able to spend a lot of money to buy some grain and grass, but the amount will never be too large, and it is just a drop in the bucket for them.
"So save a little bit, how many days can we last? I'm sure there's news in Chengdu soon. We can't afford to have an accident at this time! "Sun Yang has been here for almost two months, he doesn't want to fall short, and he is also very clear about the situation in Hanzhong, as long as they retreat, most of the land in Hanzhong will be handed over to Zhang Lu, and when the time comes, it will be clear who is the person who dies.
Xu Shu thought for a while and said, "Ten days at most." Xu Shu was very helpless, even if he only let the soldiers eat one meal a day, one meal less, their food and grass were only enough to last for ten days, I am afraid they would not be able to consume the day of the decisive battle with Zhang Lu.
"Ten days? Ten days later, are we going to retire? Yuan Zhi, are you willing to do it? If we attack now, what are the odds of winning? Sun Yang didn't want to spend any longer, it wasn't that he was impatient, but the situation no longer allowed them to confront each other like this, it was okay to raise food and grass, if not, they had to come up with a battle plan within ten days, even if they couldn't succeed, they had to delay Zhang Lu and give them a period to breathe.
"Childe, if we had a chance to attack in the past, there might be two to three percent, but now I'm afraid there is not even half a chance, yesterday the scouts by the Han River came to report, during the rainy period, the Han River swelled, the water was turbulent, there was no suitable place to cross the river, and in the past two days, Zhang Lu has increased a lot of troops in the front, and it is impossible to break through Zhang Lu's defense line by storming!" Xu Shu frowned, why didn't he want to have a decisive battle with Zhang Lu? Why did he want to give up?
After listening to what Xu Shu said, Sun Yang was silent, he was not a war idiot, he knew very well that Xu Shu had a point, but he was holding a breath in his heart, he had never encountered such a grievance since he had come all the way!
Time passed minute by minute, and the flickering candle flame flickered on Sun Yang's still somewhat immature face.
After being silent for a long time, Sun Yang seemed to be relieved, and said to Xu Shu helplessly: "Yuanzhi, wait a few more days, see if there is any news in Chengdu, if not, then we will withdraw the army." After saying this, Sun Yang closed his eyes and didn't say anything anymore, although this was the case, Sun Yang still had expectations in his heart, he expected that there would be enough grain and grass to arrive, and he hoped that good news would come from the direction of Chengdu......
"No." Xu Shu also reluctantly replied to a promise, after so many years of hard work, it seems that he is about to succeed, who would want to admit defeat so aggrievedly?
