Ye Zhao did not directly call the flying boat to rush to Zhuti first, this time the troops, although there were only 15,000 soldiers on the expedition, but in terms of logistics, the men, the convoy carrying grain and grass, even if the oxen and horse-drawn carts have been used to replace the manpower to carry them, but to supply and feed 20,000 soldiers and horses, including Zhu Ti, the transportation of military food and equipment also needs to levy at least 40,000 people to feed.

This is still in the case of the road being repaired, there are a large number of ox carts and horse-drawn carriages that can pass, otherwise, this labor cost will be greater, which is also the reason why Ye Zhao tries to avoid war, once the war starts, regardless of victory or defeat, even for Shuzhong, which is now gradually rich, it is a big load, not to mention that the 100,000 army cannot be assembled at once, even if he can, Ye Zhao will not do this, and it will be reduced to zero in the territory, and the counties can bear the consumption of the army, but it is not so simple to organize a large-scale campaign.

Ye Zhao, as the commander of the three armies, must sit in the middle army, plan and deploy, and ensure that the efficiency of the 20,000 army and the 40,000 people requisitioned can be maximized, and try not to cause unnecessary loss, although this unnecessary loss is inevitable, but Ye Zhao can try to reduce these to the minimum, which is now among the generals under Ye Zhao's command, no one can do it.

Including Zhang Liao, who has gradually become famous, and Xu Rong, who has the talent of commander, these people are good at commanding troops and fighting wars, but in terms of logistics and logistics, not to mention laymen, but they are not much smarter, this time when these people are brought with them and the grain and grass are operated, Ye Zhao asked them to follow, as for how much they can learn, it depends on their personal talent.

Zhang Ren was very appreciative of Ye Zhao in this aspect of learning, because in the month that he had been sending troops, only Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun had asked Ye Zhao about this aspect.

Zhao Yun knew his own shortcomings, so he followed Ye Zhao this time, and worked hard to get himself into a state of learning, marching and fighting, logistics is the top priority, and Zhang Ren is studious in his bones, in this regard, Zhang Ren is much stronger than Gan Ning and Guan Ping in the same period.

I don't know when these two have a particularly good relationship, most of the time they are tired of being together, if it weren't for knowing that Guan Ping's sons are about to turn old, Ye Zhao is very suspicious of the orientation of these two.

The road of the march is boring and fulfilling, the flying boat can reach the road at full speed and the wind in one day, the march took more than 20 days, there are countless hilly plank roads along the way, this is still the reason for the full construction of this road in this year, otherwise, this thousand miles of road, don't want to go down for two months, many plank roads are not reinforced and widened by cement, not to mention the car, the horses are difficult to pass, and the baggage can only rely on the back of people to pass.

Zhu Ti, Zhu Rong outside the city.

Seeing Zhu Ti's army retreat again, Meng Shu and Jianning Taishou Yongqi finally breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but there was an unspeakable sense of guilt in their hearts, obviously they were the one with more people, how could they feel that they had been pressed and beaten by Guan Yu?

In fact, this is also related to the topography of Zhurong, when the city was first built, this Zhurong City was not designed according to the fortress, one is to strengthen communication with the barbarians, and the other is to take in some barbarians who are willing to settle here.

Therefore, from the very beginning, in order to prevent the barbarians from taking advantage of this place to make trouble, in addition to being suitable for habitation, the design of the city was built according to the characteristics of easy to attack and difficult to defend.

When defending the city, you will find that the enemy focuses on attacking the place, it is difficult to defend at all, the city wall is not high, the terrain above is narrow and not easy to arrange troops, it looks more like a circle of walls, and the city is also difficult to penetrate the dwellings, every time Guan Yu only needs to fight according to these points, the Jianning soldiers and barbarians defending the city will be crowded together, plus this is a miscellaneous team, the Yi warriors and Jianning soldiers are mixed to defend, the scheduling is different, it is easy to be seen by Guan Yu to see the flaws and contain, so that there is a situation where 30,000 troops are pressed by Guan Yu's 5,000 soldiers and horses.

"I'll go out of the city tomorrow to fight!" Yong Yu gritted his teeth and said, this Zhurong's city wall, standing on it, will feel aggrieved, the wide places are basically corners, the enemy does not come at all, the places that are easy to defend are all small places, he suspects that Guan Yu has prepared for today from the beginning when the city was built, otherwise why would this city be so difficult to defend, and it was almost broken by Guan Yu several times.

"No!" Meng Shu took a deep breath, looked at Yong Yu and said: "This person is extremely brave, among the three armies, the general will capture the flag like a bag to get something, if we go out of the city to fight, it will be in the arms of this person!" ”

Outside the city of Zhuti that day, Guan Yu rode out of the city alone, under the protection of nearly a thousand warriors of the Zhurong clan, he entered the army in one breath, and killed the former Zhurong cave master.

"So how do you fight now?" Yong Yu gritted his teeth and said, this city wall is so fucking awkward that he can't help but want to scold his mother as a scholar.

"Newspaper~"

A Jianning soldier rushed up to the city, squeezed a way out of the crowd, and said to Yongqi and Meng Shu: "Envoy, there is news from Qianwei that Yizhou Mu Yezhao has led a large army to come!" ”

"How many soldiers and horses did he bring?" Yong Yu hurriedly asked.

"Many, at least fifty thousand!" The soldiers bowed down, but they regarded Ye Zhao's logistics and transportation team as the main force.

"So many people!" Yong Yu and Meng Shu glanced at each other, and their faces changed slightly.

"Go down! Revisit! Yong Yu waved his hand a little irritably, he didn't expect Ye Zhao's reaction speed to be so fast, it was only a little more than a month, and the soldiers and horses in Shuzhong not only reacted, but also mobilized 50,000 troops in such a short period of time.

"Yongtaishou, let's withdraw our troops!" Meng Yu sighed with some difficulty.

Yong Yu did not refute, Guan Yu's five thousand men and horses could not shrink like their grandsons, the main force of Shuzhong came over, and the advantage of troops was not there, with this strange city, it was strange to be able to block it, it was better to retreat and seek space, wait for its reinforcements to arrive, and then wipe out Ye Zhao all of them.

As long as the main force of Shuzhong is destroyed, they can enter Shuzhong and recapture the three counties of Shuzhong.

On the other hand, after Guan Yu collected his troops, he got the news that Ye Zhao had arrived in Zhuti, and ordered Zhou Cang to stay and guard the camp, and he rushed to Zhuti with his personal guard Pegasus to meet him.

"General Guan hasn't seen him for more than a year, and his momentum is even more than in the past!" Ye Zhao still had a little dust on his body, he didn't expect Guan Yu to come so quickly, and said to Guan Yu with a smile at the moment.

"See the lord, please forgive me for wearing armor and not being able to pay full salutes." Guan Yu intervened at Ye Zhao and saluted.

"It's okay, there is no need for so much red tape in the army, how is the battle on the front line?" Ye Zhao waved his hand, asked people to help Guan Yu remove his armor, sat down in Zhu Ti Taishou's Mansion, and asked Guan Yu.

"Zhurong City is broken, it is the loss of the last general, now the traitor is entrenched in Zhurong, there are 30,000 thieves, the last general is difficult to break for a while, please surrender the lord!" Guan Yu bowed to Ye Zhao and said.

"This Zhu Rong City was originally built according to the specifications of Fang City, whoever guards it suffers, Yun Chang doesn't have to worry." Ye Zhao waved his hand and smiled: "In this way, those Nanban and Jianning troops are still stationed in Zhurong now?" ”

"Not bad!" Guan Yu nodded.

"That's right, then we will annihilate these people first, and before the Nanban and the counties gather, take Jianning first, frustrate the enemy's spirit, and then talk about the rest!" Ye Zhao sneered.

Since the Yongqi rebelled, the Nanban Ye Zhao may be treated leniently in order to appease, but like Yongqi these people, Ye Zhao does not intend to let go, it just so happens that the new batch of students are about to learn, and the land of the four counties is the best place to practice, not only Yongqi, the four counties that participated in the rebellion this time are too Shouhao clan, Ye Zhao is ready to clean up one by one, this Jianning and Yi army, which is equivalent to the vanguard of the four counties, is just used to set up Ma Wei.
