On the school field, more than five or six hundred heads were cut off, which immediately made everyone tremble. Especially those wealthy families of the big clans, their faces are even pale. Although these beheaded wealthy families were all executed for conspiracy, which of the other people did not have the responsibility for the conspiracy? Although these crimes were committed when the Han army was in power, who knows if the Zhao Military Officer's Mansion will reopen old accounts in order to attack them?

After killing these people, Liu Wenqi once again emphasized the current system of the Zhao army, which is to confiscate the private guards of all ethnic groups. This time, Liu Wenqi and the government's actions did not continue to be postponed and delayed by the wealthy family for various reasons.

Liu Wenqi summoned the wealthy families and people of the big clans in the city to watch the war criminals in the school field this time, why didn't he use this incident to tell other big clans that if you are unwilling to hand over the private house and the nursing home in your hands, then you may also collude with the Han army and want to conceal the chaos. These big clans saw that almost half of the wealthy families in this city were executed by Zhao Jun today, how could they dare not cooperate? The work that made it difficult for the government to continue was suddenly much more convenient after this.

The action of the Han army in Gaoling City was just an action of the Han army, and then, Liu Wenqi successively received reports from the cities in Feng Yi's mansion, and there were changes in various places, but it was far less than the action of Gaoling City. However, Liu Wenqi had earlier transferred a lot of troops in Feng Yi's Mansion to support the war on the southern front and scattered them to various cities. This change in the Han army was basically solved by the Zhao army. Even if some cities are destroyed, it is harmless and not serious.

"Your Excellency, the king has an order to immediately transport 5,000 loads of grain south to support the needs of the front line. In addition, the king also asked if there was any accident in this Feng Yi land? But there is a situation, and the privy envoy needs to return to the king! Liu Wenqi, who was dealing with the conspiracy and sabotage of the Han army in Feng Yi Zhudi, received a military order from Zhao Xun.

"Huh? Didn't the food and grass needed for the army set out five days ago? It's not time yet, is it? Liu Wenqi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, even the other officers in charge of logistics were also puzzled.

"Back to my lord, the grain and grass of the front-line army were raided by the Han army, and more than half of them were destroyed. Therefore, the king ordered the immediate transportation to the south to prepare for the needs of the army at the front. The herald from the south said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Liu Wenqi was stunned, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and said in surprise: "It seems that this Lin Shucheng has not only taken action in the north, but also in the south." If we don't handle this matter well, the grain and grass materials are destroyed, and the grain and grass on the front line are burned again, then the result will be ......" As soon as he said this, Liu Wenqi couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, even other officials, and their faces couldn't help but change drastically.

"What a Lin Shucheng, such a poisonous method, if he really succeeds, not only will the grain and grass materials of Feng Yifu be lost, but also the front-line army will have to retreat because of the lack of grain and grass materials, and even encounter a surprise counterattack by the Han army." Liu Wenqi's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but sigh.

"What Lord Liu said is very true! This Lin Shucheng is really powerful. However, no matter how powerful he is, he can't escape the suppression of the king and you, although his plan is good, but he is not defeated by the king and you! ”

Liu Wenqi shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the king's reminder, I'm afraid that this time...... This Liu Wenqi, I might as well wait! Immediately arrange for the baggage team to transport grain and grass to the south, and this time Feng Yi's internal rebellion was quelled, and it was also time for our army to conquer Xiyongzhou. As for the information here, it had already been transmitted to the south two days ago, and I think the king should have received the change here at about this moment. ”

In the Zhao army camp outside Weinan County, Zhao Xun, Situ Liang and other Zhao army generals and colonels gathered together, everyone's faces were tense, listening to Situ Liang tell the current battle situation.

In fact, it is nothing, the day before yesterday, on the third day of their own attack on Weinan County with earth-shaking thunder, when the county town of Weinan gradually collapsed, the grain and grass materials transported by the Zhao army from Xiayang County in the rear were raided and burned by the enemy, so that more than half of the grain and grass of the 50,000 army of the Zhao army were burned. Now the Zhao army in the south and the Zhao army in the Dongyongzhou round have a total of more than 70,000 people, of which 20,000 troops are approaching Chang'an, and the rest are also in Weinan County and its surrounding counties, and its main force is still under the county seat of Weinan.

With the actions of these few days, the strength of the Zhao army increased greatly after the convergence, and some small counties around the county seat of Weinan were occupied by the Zhao army successively. In order to prevent the main force of the Zhao army approaching Chang'an and the main force of the Zhao army under Weinan County from having trouble transporting grain and grass, the grain and grass needed by the army were stored in Xiayang County, and were transported from Xiayang County to the east or west for use on the front line.

Because the team transporting grain and grass was in the rear and within its own sphere of influence, although there were not too many guards, but the four thousand baggage teams and one thousand guards were attacked, and the grain and grass were all burned, Zhao Xun could not help but suspend the attack on Weinan County, and began to pay attention to the enemy troops in his rear.

After reporting back to Zhao Xun and others, the baggage squad and guards learned that they had encountered no more enemy troops than them, only about 2,000 people. In addition, the other side designed to set fire directly on the pipeline, resulting in the burning of the grain and grass materials needed to transport and supply the army for ten days. Because both sides of the pipeline were filled with fire oil by the Han army, the fire spread and was difficult to extinguish. Therefore, the guards and baggage detachments, who could not be rescued, attacked these enemy forces directly.

What puzzled the guards and baggage team was that these enemy troops in ambush did not flee for their lives immediately, but fought desperately against the guards and baggage teams, and they were not afraid of death, and their fighting will far surpassed other Han army troops, and even no less than the elite soldiers of the Zhao army.

These fierce enemy soldiers were stunned to defeat the Zhao army's escort and baggage team, which outnumbered them, and then fled with the remaining remnants and fled far away, even the Zhao army's baggage team and escort team did not dare to chase after them.

The 4,000 baggage team was guarded by 1,000 strong soldiers, and in the end, half of the baggage team remained, and more than half of the guards were lost. This surprised Zhao Xun, Situ Liang and others under the county seat of Weinan. You must know that although the baggage team is only responsible for the logistics and transportation of the army, it does not participate in the frontal battlefield. However, the baggage team sometimes has to be responsible for the battle, such as the manipulation of siege equipment, which requires the participation of the baggage team. Therefore, the baggage team has generally been on the frontal battlefield. In addition, they are also responsible for the collection of corpses after the war, so although the soldiers of the baggage team are not as good as the regular soldiers, under the leadership of the soldiers, they should not be much worse than the soldiers.

In particular, Zhao Jun's baggage team was almost no worse than the regular soldiers. These baggage teams were formed by the prisoners and young men who had been collected and surrendered by the Zhao army. They were similar to the soldiers, the only thing missing was armor and some weapons. Of course, the baggage team is also equipped with weapons, but only with horizontal knives. In addition, the officers in the baggage team are all from Zhao Jun's town soldiers, and they also have to undergo formal training on weekdays.

Therefore, it is nothing that more than 5,000 people were ambushed by the other party's 2,000, but they were defeated by the other party and even did not dare to pursue, which is not a small problem, especially if the opponent is still ambushed by the Han army. According to the aftermath of the battle, these ambush baggage teams were equipped with light armor, longbows, and long knives, and no other heavy weapons. But they fought bravely and ruthlessly, and even the soldiers of this thousand escort baggage teams were far inferior. The two thousand Han troops who raided finally escaped with nearly a thousand people, and the rest were basically killed on the spot with the Zhao army's baggage team and guards.

Because he couldn't figure out where these two thousand people came from, and he didn't know where such a fierce Han soldier appeared like this, Zhao Xun suspended the attack on Weinan County, but turned to a detailed investigation of the surrounding situation, in addition, to find out where these two thousand people came from. Of course, the most important thing is to know where these two thousand people came from with so much combat power and desperate heart, which can't help but make Zhao Xun wonder.

"There were more than 300 people before, and we all paid for so long, and we also paid nearly 2,000 casualties. Situ Liang, can you find out the details of the captives? At this moment, Zhao Xun's face was very unpleasant. At the beginning, Situ Liang was attacked, was ambushed, and reminded the other party in the handsome tent.

But now, after the army converged, they were careful and careful, but they were still exploited by the other party, allowing the other party to raid their own logistics team, and the loss was not small. This pursuit of more than 1,000 people paid a lot of price, and Zhao Jun's losses were higher than those of the other party.

Situ Liang naturally understood the unhappiness of the king at this moment, and when he saw Zhao Xun's inquiry, he replied in a deep voice: "Back to the king, we have fought two fierce battles, and we have surrounded and annihilated more than 2,500 people who ambushed our logistics team. In the end, less than the whites fled, and the rest, only about 80 prisoners and more than 200 heavy rewarders, and the rest were all beheaded. The soldier who was killed was also killed on the spot because the other party refused to surrender. ”

"After investigation, these people are all soldiers from Wannian County, Weinan County, Jaw County and other places, and they are from the regular army of the Han army. However, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all family people. Among these armies, the families of the officers were also transferred to Chang'an by Lin Shucheng's order, and the families of ordinary soldiers were also settled by the government on the side of the army in other counties. Lin Shucheng informed them that their family members were under the care of the government, and they needed to fight the Zhao army without fear of death. Died in battle and won, and his family members were rewarded. If you surrender to us, your family will not be protected. ”

"What?" Zhao Xun and the generals in the handsome tent changed their faces when they heard this. It is absolutely rare to treat a subordinate in such a way. Of course, if the subordinate is a subordinate or a foreigner, it is naturally a different matter.

Situ Liang said in a deep voice: "In other words, the defenders of Weinan County that we are attacking now are not the original defenders of Weinan County at all, nor are they soldiers from local sources in Weinan County, but soldiers transferred from other places. Their family members were all placed under house arrest by Lin Shucheng. Their families will only survive if they win or die in battle, otherwise their families will not be spared. The more than 2,000 people who were lying in ambush were just like when we were in the northern part of Youzhou in the past, and they were scattered among the surrounding Qinling Mountains to hide for many days, and they were ordered to fight to the death recently. ”

"The ambush has been in place for several days, amazing! There is such a persecuted army, no wonder the defenders in this Weinan county town do not care about the collapse of the city wall, do not care about the approach of our army, and do not care about the strong attack of our catapults. It turned out that they had no choice. This Lin Shucheng is too ruthless, he is like this to his own soldiers, it's just ......" Zhao Xiong couldn't help but sigh.

Situ Liang and Zhao Xun both frowned, and their faces became even more gloomy. The two of them have to worry, since Lin Shucheng played such tricks and was so ruthless, how could it be just like this?

Lin Shucheng did this, and he was not afraid that his soldiers would be dissatisfied? Even these soldiers will even express their dissatisfaction with the king of Hanzhong? If he said this, he would definitely have an intractable contradiction with the Han army in Xiyongzhou. Zhao Kang, the general of the first town of the forbidden army, said puzzled.

Situ Liang said in a deep voice: "What Lin Shucheng has done, either he has already received the consent of the King of Hanzhong, or he has already resisted the responsibility. Lin Shucheng knows very well that if he can't stop us, everything else will be suspended. If he stops us, no matter how he makes the army in Xiyongzhou dissatisfied, he can't help him. In other words, Lin Shucheng doesn't care about these anymore, and he can't care about it anymore. However, this hand is really ruthless. How to appease after the war is inappropriate, it will definitely cause the Han army in Xiyongzhou to collapse. If defeated, it will be difficult for the Han army in the land of Xiyongzhou to settle down. So, it looks bad for us, but if we can defeat the other party, what Lin Shucheng does will still be very beneficial for us to take over Xiyongzhou. ”

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Lin Shucheng is gambling, and he will bet with us on the outcome of the bet." By the way, how is the situation in Yang Wangqing? Where have the reinforcements from Hanzhong arrived now? ”

"The reinforcements of the Han army in Hanzhong are now divided into two routes, all the way to the north, and have rushed to the front line of Xinping and Wugong, and confronted the front line of our army Jinghe. All the way to the land of Chang'an, now it has occupied Xianyang and began to enter Chang'an. ”

"So fast!" Zhao Xun frowned slightly, "How many reinforcements are there in Hanzhong this time?" ”

"There are more than 35,000 soldiers and more than 50,000 people."

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "More than 35,000 reinforcements, for Xiyongzhou, the effect is not obvious. Lin Shucheng attacked our grain and grass here, and even delayed us in Weinan County, which was also of little effect to us, because we could leave a part of our soldiers here at any time to confront Weinan County, and the army marched westward. If you want to come to this Weinan county alone, it won't have much impact on us. Even if we are cut off from Dongyongzhou, our connection to the north is still there......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Xun frowned, and suddenly tightened, and Situ Liang's heart also jumped.

"Situ Liang, you say, will this Lin Shucheng do anything in Feng Yi? At present, most of our grain and grass are suddenly half, and the food required by nearly 70,000 troops and 50,000 or 60,000 logistics troops is not a small amount. It is possible to transport grain from Dongyongzhou, but now most of the grain needed by our army is hoarded in the land of Bingzhou. ”

"If, if Lin Shucheng uses Weinan County to drag us down, and then raids Feng Yi's Mansion and destroys our grain and grass materials, we will have to retreat. Even, we will be cut off from food and grass materials, and we will fall into danger, and even worse, we will encounter a surprise attack by the Han army. More than 35,000 reinforcements will launch a counterattack against us at any time in such a situation. Zhao Xun said with a solemn face.

Situ Liang couldn't help but tremble, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the king is stationed in Feng Yi's mansion is the privy deputy envoy Liu Wenqi Liu. Lord Liu is familiar with military affairs, and he is naturally very clear about the deployment of the city, and he will definitely not let the Han army take advantage of the loopholes. In addition, most of our army's grain and grass are stored in Gaoling City. Gaoling City is strong and thick, and we have left a town of troops in Feng Yi's Mansion, and Lord Liu only needs to deploy heavy troops to defend Gaoling City. Come to think of it, with Lord Liu's talent, he will definitely not go wrong. ”

"I hope so!" Zhao Xun said in a deep voice. But both he and Situ Liang knew in their hearts that since Lin Shucheng treated his soldiers like this, he naturally would not just want to stop the army and this, and there would definitely be other actions. Although the Zhao army occupied Feng Yi and other places, in comparison, Zhao Jun's familiarity with the counties and cities of Feng Yi's mansion was still far inferior to that of the Han army. If the Han army had taken action, although the Zhao army had the advantage in terms of strength, but thinking about the Weinan county town and the Han soldiers who raided the baggage team, the Zhao army did not have much advantage.

"Give Yang Wangqing an order to stop advancing and be careful about the movements of the Han army. Their task now is not to attack Chang'an, but to block the eastward exit of the Han army in Chang'an, so as to attract the movement of the Han army. ”

"Send an order to the Ninth Town of Dongyongzhou, let them guard against the armies of the southern princes, and if necessary, let the Yuzhou army send out support."

"Ordered the guards of Tongguan and Hangu Pass, let them be careful and vigilant, from now on, the two places are strictly forbidden to come and go, and increase supervision of passers-by. In particular, Hangu Pass is not allowed to enter and exit at will from now on. ”

"Situ Liang, let the army prepare and be ready to advance westward at any time. Since this Weinan county wants to hold us back, we will put them here. Zhao Xun said coldly.

"King, do you just let it go?" Zhao Kang said urgently, "After all, they are behind us, and if they are ignored, they will definitely have an adverse impact on us." ”

"It's not that I don't care, but I don't go on the offensive anymore. We continue to fight, although we can break the city, but we also have to fight to the death with these Han troops in the city who have to fight to the death, street fighting is not good for us, and we don't need to waste time here. You leave all the cavalry here, and if they dare to go out of the city, use the cavalry to teach them a lesson. If they are trapped in the city, they will ignore it. ”

Situ Liang suddenly said: "My lord, the minister thinks that we can still spread Lin Shucheng's move to all places. In order to defend the city, the families of the soldiers were imprisoned to coerce the soldiers to die. When this kind of news spreads, not to mention that the people of Xiyongzhou are dissatisfied, even among the army, there must be many dissatisfactions. After all, not every army in Xiyong Prefecture was willing to obey Lin Shucheng's military orders. If we shake their morale, we can even co-opt them to buy them off. ”

Zhao Xun nodded, and said in a deep voice: "This move is feasible, let the Flying Eagle Guard and the Shadow Guard cooperate in the action, it will definitely have a certain effect." Lin Shucheng wants to turn defeat into victory, and we must let his extravagant hopes fail. ”
