Chapter 55: Food shortage

The battle was much simpler than Han Yuan expected, under the command of four mid-level commanders, Han Yuan's troops captured eight cities with only more than 10,000 troops, completely cutting off the retreat channels between Jiao He's headquarters and the rear, and the cut grain and grass were naturally accepted by Han Yuan into his own troops. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Han Yuan, who had captured eight cities, ordered his troops to continue to make a forward posture, and then quietly withdrew his troops to Dongping at night, waiting for Jiao He, who was hurriedly retreating, to meet him head-on.

……

Ten miles east of the Plains City, this is where Jiao He's 30,000 troops are stationed, and after seeing the posture of the Plains Yellow Turban Stronghold, he immediately gave up his plan to attack, but instead sang and drank and had fun in the camp every night.

After all, he has conquered Jinan Kingdom so 'strongly', and the troops are already 'tired' enough, so there is no need for his brothers to go to Pingyuan City to kowtow again, isn't it.

These exploits are enough to maintain his Jiao He's position in the Qingzhou Assassin History, and of course, if he makes money powerful, he can even rank in the court.

As for continuing to fight? Let's not say anything about defeat, let's just say that the battle was won, how to calculate the reward of the troops and the pension of the soldiers who died in battle? The plain is a poor county town!

After the yellow turban was wreaking havoc, there was no oil and water for him to loot, and attacking Plains City was a loss-making business, which he didn't dare to take over easily.

What's more, if the large Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou is defeated, then it may be the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, and everyone can fight with the grandmaster Lu Zhi who holds the jade seal, and defeat the frontier warrior Dong Zhuo, not to mention him, so for the sake of future glory and wealth, it is best for Bu Ji's department to live in Qingzhou, this is the best battle situation.

Therefore, even if the soldiers and horses are ready, there is no shortage of siege weapons, Jiao He only sent a battalion of men and horses to pay attention to the city, and the rest of the military horses are magnified and fake, they should eat, drink, and have fun.

As a commander, he didn't dare to say that his merits were better than Huo Hussar's, but a wise general could still boast of himself.

……

"Thorn History, Lord Thorn History, it's not good, it's not good."

Just as Jiao He and the generals were drinking and having fun, a hoarse shout broke his happy hour.

"What's the panic? The Yellow Turban thieves are out of the city? ”

Seeing this herald with tendons and flesh, a trace of disgust floated on his scorched face, this soldier was in this big tent, it was simply insulting!

"No, no, no."

The man who heard Jiao He's question didn't react for a while, but only emphasized the fact that the Yellow Turban Army in front of him did not go out of the city to fight.

"Do you know what it is to disturb your lordship? Come on, drag me out, thirty sticks! ”

Jiao He, who was vicious, frowned tightly, and after glancing at the man, he waved his hand nonchalantly, signaling the two retainers waiting at the door to drag him out.

"No, Lord Thorn Shi, I was wronged, Dongping City was captured by the Yellow Turban thieves, and now most of Jinan has been captured, and our grain route has also been cut off, Lord Thorn Shi, wronged......"

Just when Jiao He had just recovered a good mood and picked up his wine glass to continue the feast, the mournful voice of the soldier crying and shouting came in, making his movements stagnate.

"What?!" The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground suddenly, and Jiao He, who was terrified in his heart, hurriedly ran to the door of the tent and shouted: "Don't pull him back yet!" ”

And just after the military man shouted his voice, the generals and scribes present were stunned, and then endless fear surged into their hearts, even if they did not pass through the army again, they knew the fate of being cut off.

At the same time, the question also came, the main force of the Qingzhou Department of the Yellow Turban Army was besieged in Pingyuan City, so where did the Yellow Turban Army come from to attack the Jinan Kingdom?

Isn't it?

A group of generals and scribes thought of the eastward advance of the main force of Jizhou, and couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly denied their own conjecture, this conjecture was too terrifying, not to mention that the main force of the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army entered the country, let alone the soldiers and horses who came to the two canals, and they all had to eat and walk around.

"Lord Assassin Shi, eight cities such as Dongping and Donglin have fallen, and the return of Jinan has been cut off, please send troops to support."

Thinking of the soldier who finally didn't have to be beaten, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and whispered.

It's just that the ears that have long been erected in the tent have listened to his words word for word.

As soon as the military man's voice fell, the generals and scribes present took a long breath.

Good guy, in the past few days, eight cities have been lost in a row, how many people have come from the Yellow Turban Army? Why didn't they get any movement?

"How many Yellow Turban Thieves are coming?"

Suppressing the fear in his heart, Jiao He pointed at the military man and asked tremblingly.

"I don't know, I just feel that the roar of the Yellow Turban Army is all over the city."

The army in the rear suffered a defeat and was attacked by night, so naturally it is not clear how many Yellow Turban troops are coming to attack, but in order to be less punished in the future and say it better, it is natural to say that the number of Yellow Turban Army is as much as possible.

"How's that okay?"

After hearing the adjective "all over the city", Jiao He only felt dizzy in his head, and he didn't know what to do.
