Chapter 329: Pits Everywhere

After resting in Xincai City for three days, Hao Meng obtained Ruyin City without much effort. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In a fierce battle under Xincai City that day, more than 15,000 people were killed in the battle of the Sun-Liu coalition army, and there were many wounded, and more than 10,000 prisoners were captured by Hao Mengjun, which alone accounted for more than one-third of the coalition army.

Although the Jiangdong Army accounted for the majority of these "losses", Uncle Liu's losses were not small. The soldiers who fled back to Ruyin with him eventually had only more than 10,000 people, of which less than 1,000 were cavalry.

With only more than 10,000 elites who have no morale and fighting spirit, as well as the Jiangdong army that fled back to Ruyin City all the way and has less than 20,000 people, if they want to hold Ruyin City, Uncle Liu Huang feels that it is not very reliable.

In particular, after the three veteran generals of Jiangdong received Sun Quan's order, they directly brought the 20,000 remnants of the defeated army back to Lujiang, and Uncle Liu Huang felt that he could not hold Ruyin City.

So, Uncle Liu Huang simply packed Ruyin City and several nearby cities, and after sweeping away all kinds of supplies, he also returned to Shouchun with the remnants of the defeated army.

Uncle Liu Huang felt that Ruyin City could not be defended under Hao Meng's troops, but Shouchun City in Jiujiang County was on the verge of the Huai River and several famous mountains, and Hao Meng's attempt to cross the river and break Shouchun City was not a little difficult.

Besides, if the lips die, the teeth are cold.

If Hao Meng crossed the river to attack Shouchun, would Sun Quan of Lujiang County next door look at it?

In the same way, if Hao Meng crossed the river to attack the Lujiang River, Uncle Liu Huang thought that he would not do it.

Therefore, when Hao Meng swept Runan County and even the entire territory of Yuzhou, a stalemate was formed on the side of the Huai River for a while.

Just when Hao Meng was hesitating whether to concentrate his troops and horses and sweep Jiangdong in one go, a detailed report from Dongjun could be regarded as a relief for the stalemate between Hao Meng, Sun Quan and Liu Bei.

……

The detailed report shows that when Gongsun Zhan borrowed the road from Jizhou to the south, he was about to cross the Yellow River and enter Dongjun, but he was besieged and killed by Yuan Shao.

Whether it is Gongsun Zhan who wants to kill Yu on a false path, or Yuan Benchu sticks a knife in his back. In short, Sun Zhan, the white horse who dominates Youzhou, can be regarded as removed from the princes of the world.

Even many fierce people from the Gongsun family who accompanied him died tragically in the melee where it was impossible to tell who was right and who was wrong.

However, Zhao Zilong, who Hao Meng was more concerned about, didn't know if he had escaped, and he was not sure in detail, even Yuan Shao, who was stabbed in the back, was not sure.

After all, after the death of a military general, it will turn into a point of light and dissipate.

If Zhao Zilong is bent on seeking death, he will inevitably dissipate into a point of light. If Zhao Zilong wanted to escape, with his strength, he would still be able to escape in the night of the melee.

Of course, if it's just Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan's tearing, it doesn't have much to do with Hao Meng for the time being.

The problem is that when Hao Meng was entangled with Sun Quan and Liu Bei in the south, Yuan Shao, who had cleaned up the remnants of Gongsun Chan outside Liyang City, actually did not take advantage of the situation to march into Youzhou and sweep away the remnants of Gongsun Zhan, so they actually crossed the river and marched directly to Dongjun!

You must know that Hao Meng's army is now mostly on the front line, and all counties and counties in the four states are a little empty, and most of them are patrol battalions in charge of defensive matters. After Yuan Shao marched into Dongjun, he almost swept the entire Dongjun in only three days.

In this case, Hao Meng had to withdraw his troops and go north, ready to talk to Yuan Shao.

Therefore, after leaving a soldier and horse in each of the two cities of Ruyin and Xincai to prevent Jiangdong from sweeping again, Hao Meng transferred Chen Feng's troops stationed in Peiguo to the front line, and then took an army of 30,000 to Dongjun, preparing to find Yuan Benchu to settle the general account.

However, the passion of Hao Meng and Yuan Shao has not yet sparked, but the two soldiers and horses of Yizhou Izuchuan have already divided the winners and losers.

……

After Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu shook hands and made peace, they temporarily took Jiameng Pass as the boundary.

Half of Ba County and the entire Hanzhong County north of Jiameng Pass were temporarily ruled by Zhang Lu; To the south of Jiameng Pass, it is still under the control of Liu Zhang, the lord of Yizhou.

Then, the two sides discussed the issue of borrowing with Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

After all, whether it is Zhang Lu or Liu Zhang, if the army wants to go out of Sichuan and reach Runan County, it has to pass through the territory of Jingzhou.

Then, I don't know what the result of the discussion was, Zhang Lu sent troops directly from Shangyong in Hanzhong, preparing to cross the southern part of Nanyang County, and then he could reach Runan.

Liu Zhang, on the other hand, set out from the waterway, preparing to arrive in Jiangxia along the Yangtze River, and then enter Runan County from Jiangxia.

Although Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu shook hands and made peace, the routes of sending troops were not together.

The problem lies in Zhang Lu's army.

……

When Zhang Lu's 30,000 troops arrived in Xinye, they were introduced into the city by Xinye.

Zhang Lu might as well be cheating. After all, he had discussed the matter of borrowing the road with Liu Jingzhou, and there was no garrison or ambush in Xinye City, and there was no sign of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses within dozens of miles around Xinye.

Therefore, Zhang Luqin led an army of 30,000 and entered Xinye City to rest with confidence; And after three or two days of recuperation, he will directly enter Runan County.

It's just that after nightfall, Zhang Lu, who was resting, was woken up, and a large number of soldiers and horses knocked on the city outside the city. When Zhang Lu climbed the city gate tower to take a look, a breath of cool air almost made him go back to his hometown.

Outside Xinye City, all of them are Jingzhou soldiers, and judging from the reports of the four city gates, there are 100,000 at least.

Seventy percent of Liu Biao's soldiers and horses actually gathered outside Xinye City!

At this time, if Zhang Lu still doesn't understand that he was cheated by Liu Biao, he will be sorry for him cutting off Hanzhong's IQ.

It's just that 30,000 against 100,000 is okay to defend the city in a short period of time, and if you want to fight out of the city, it's a bit of a fool's dream.

Moreover, after being besieged, Zhang Lu inspected Xinye's city defense and treasury for the first time, but Zhang Lu almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

The city defense of Shinno is not only in disrepair, but there are traces of man-made destruction in many places. As long as Liu Jingzhou is willing to wear and tear, under the onslaught, he will be able to break the city in three or two days.

In the treasury of Xinye, it is even more empty, and even the rats are so hungry that they "squeak". There was no food, grass and ordnance, and all kinds of materials used to defend the city were emptied, and even the people in the city only had one or two thousand people after being driven out by Zhang Lu, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled.

In this case, it is obvious that Liu Jingzhou has been prepared for a long time and specially tricked him Zhang Lu.

It's a pity that when Zhang Lu entered Xinye, he only paid attention to whether there was a possibility of being ambushed in the city, and did not pay attention to Xinye's city defense and treasury.

After all, Zhang Lu is just a guest army, not here to take over Xinye City!

After Liu Jingzhou's 100,000 troops besieged Xinye, they did not attack the city, but continued to besiege it.

Zhang Lu in the city, there is no risk of life and death for a while.

With 30,000 troops defending the city, and repairing the city defense by demolishing the east wall to make up the west wall for the first time, as well as the grain and grass carried by the army, it was not a big problem to insist on it for ten days and half a month.

However, Liu Biao in Jingzhou has an army of 150,000, and there are 100,000 troops gathered outside Xinye City, so where are the other 50,000 troops?

……

When Zhang Lu was trapped in Xinye City, no one knew that Liu Biao's other 50,000 troops, in addition to 20,000 people staying on the border of Jiangxia and Changsha, the other three soldiers and horses took Fangling County in Hanzhong and Shangyong, a material transit station.

Zhang Lu still has 20,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong.

It's just that these 20,000 people not only have to be stationed in Jiameng Pass, but also have to be scattered in dozens of cities in Hanzhong and half of Ba County. Therefore, Liu Biao marched from Shangyong to Hanzhong, and he really shouldn't be too easy.

At the same time that Liu Biao marched into Hanzhong, Liu Zhang, who went down the river from the waterway, did not arrive in Jiangxia as scheduled, but went ashore to rest in Linjiang for several days.

Then, after the correction was completed, or after receiving the news that Zhang Lu was trapped in Xinye, Liu Zhang directly entered the northern part of Ba County from Linjiang.

Jia Meng Pass can block Liu Zhang's army, but from Linjiang to the north of Pemba County, Liu Zhang is also unimpeded.

As for the Jiameng Pass behind him, as well as Zhang Lu's 10,000 army, Liu Zhang really didn't worry that they would sneak attack the back road or return to Hanzhong. Under Jia Meng, Liu Zhang also left tens of thousands of troops.

Although it was a superficial handshake at the time, this situation of mutual vigilance was essential.

If the last 10,000 soldiers and horses left by Zhang Lu in Jiameng Pass dare to go out of the pass, Liu Zhang will inevitably let them have no return.

The two princes of the Han clan jointly made a joint move and buried the pit in advance, couldn't they still take a mere Zhang Lu?

Therefore, it is inevitable that Zhang Lu will be pitted!

……

When Hao Meng returned to Fangdong County, Zhang Lu's power was also erased from this world.

Zhang Lu, who was still fighting in the trapped beast, couldn't surrender if he wanted to.

Under Liu Zhang's new hatred and old hatred, how could he accept Zhang Lu's surrender? In view of Zhang Lu's performance, Liu Biao naturally would not accept Zhang Lu's surrender.

As a result, the male lord who dominated Hanzhong and more than 40 cities in half of Ba County came to an early curtain call.

When Hao Meng was chasing the soldiers and horses chasing Yuan Shao in Dongjun, after receiving the news, he could only sigh that Zhang Lu had died by himself, his life was full of pits, and this Zhang Lu had to jump into the pit to die, and no one could save him.

Of course, just in case, Hao Meng also sent a military order to Guan Hai, who was stationed in Wancheng, ordering him to strictly guard against it, not only to guard against Cao Cao in Guanzhong going south, but also to guard against the possibility of attacking Wancheng after Liu Biao and Liu Zhang joined forces.

Liu Biao's remnants of Wancheng, no one can know more than Hao Meng!

……

Time, after entering April of the second year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, the world's great beacon smoke was finally extinguished.

Sun Quan and Liu Bei, who stole chickens and rice, began to lick their wounds after retracting back to Jiangdong.

After Liu Biao and Liu Zhang carved up Hanzhong, because of the Southern Barbarian rebellion, Liu Zhang returned to the south of Yizhou. And when Liu Biao wanted to take the opportunity to seize Wancheng, he suffered a few small losses in the hands of Guan Hai, and then returned to Jingzhou.

After all, it's almost April, when spring ploughing is in full swing.

Spring ploughing is a major event for all princes, Jingzhou and Yizhou are both large grain producers, so it is naturally impossible to make a big move at this time.

After Yuan Shao wreaked havoc in Dongjun, he was easily driven back to the north of the Yellow River by Hao Meng, and he no longer remembered Hao Meng, and turned to attack the remnants of Gongsun Zan in Youzhou.

After Cao Cao occupied Guanzhong, he was also trying to restore population and production. Even if he wanted to enter Bingzhou or Liangzhou, all kinds of materials were in short supply, so he could only give up for the time being.

At this time, Hao Meng, who owned the land of Sizhou, was idle, taking the guard camp and Cai Wenji to run back and forth on the territory of Sizhou, while touring the mountains and rivers, clearing all kinds of demons and monsters.

Zhou Yu can be regarded as entering Hao Meng's pit, and took over all kinds of things of Hao Meng's group, and only then did he liberate Hao Meng.

As for whether Zhou Yu was willing or not, it didn't matter to Hao Meng. Under Xincai City that day, after Zhou Yu spoke, Hao Meng was not worried about Zhou Yu's "being in Cao Ying's heart in Han".

Although Zhou Yu has an extremely high IQ, Hao Meng also has a pit, so that Zhou Yu, a second-year middle school man, is willing to work for him!
