Chapter 362: The Breakthrough Begins
The Xuzhou army is numerous, and Zang Ba, who is waiting for an opportunity to attack, does not have many opportunities, but it is precisely because of the large strength of the Xuzhou army that it provides another favorable condition for Zang Ba.
The army marched all the way east, and all the county towns that passed through it had put down a hundred hearts, and with the army in front, who would resist cautiously?
When Zang Ba changed his strategy, he waved his army to the west and went down to five cities in three days!
Moreover, Zang Ba took advantage of the rich experience of the Taishan thieves to drive all the messengers in these cities to the east, that is, the direction of Chen and others, and the rest of the places were completely isolated by Zang Ba.
It wasn't until today that he met Zhao Yun and Dian Wei's food delivery team that Zang Ba began to hesitate.
Speaking of which, the Xuzhou army has no shortage of strategists, no shortage of elite soldiers, what is lacking is just the leading generals, and when Zhao Yun and Dian Wei meet with the Xuzhou army, then ......
Zang Ba has always had a good impression of the famous Lu Bu brothers, because Lu Bu is currently the only one who receives and reuses the thieves, and the Lu Bu brothers are all very brave, and Lu Bu is actually one of the targets chosen by Zang Ba...... Zang Ba didn't want to be an enemy of Zhao Yun.
After discovering Zhao Yun and the others, he just sent some people to follow, and he had already reversed the direction.
Zhao Yun and Dian Wei are carrying out the great business of transporting grain with more than 2,000 soldiers and more than 17,000 people.
"General Zhao...... There are quite a few people behind us...... "The scout suddenly came to report.
"Oh?" Zhao Yun was stunned, Chen Deng and Mi Fang led nearly 30,000 troops to open the road in front, and someone could make a detour behind them?
"Lao Dian, you go to the back to guard, and then go to the county seat in front first!" Zhao Yun said to Dian Wei.
At present, it is only more than ten miles away from the nearest county seat, and under careful vigilance, even if someone follows it, it is not a big deal.
But in an hour, Zhao Yun and others entered the county seat.
And it was only four or five hours before Zang Ba evacuated from this county seat.
Zhao Yun glanced at the county magistrate kneeling beside him, and a rare smile appeared on his handsome face.
"You're the prefectural commander here?" Finally, Zhao Yun spoke.
"Xiaguan...... The villain is the prefectural order. The county commander looked very nervous, after all, the city he commanded had just been captured by the thief army, and he could be questioned at any time.
"Our army is about to leave the city, and after leaving the city, you will immediately organize people to post posters to reassure the people."
"Huh?" The county order still thinks that he heard it wrong, and he posted a notice to reassure the people?
This one doesn't even blame himself? And not afraid of collaborating with the enemy yourself? At the very least, you should ask about the form, right?
Seeing the puzzlement on the face of this county commander, Zhao Yun only smiled and did not explain.
"Remember, govern the city well and reduce **."
Zhao Yun did not stop, and after arranging for the people to have a meal, he continued to travel east amid the incomprehension of the county order and the reluctance of the people.
"Lao Zhao, why do I think you are a little chattering?" Dian Wei said to Zhao Yun with a puzzled expression.
"Zang Ba......" Zhao Yun muttered softly.
"Lao Dian, do you think that if the real thieves occupy the county seat, they will not take a penny, and it will not affect the lives of ordinary civilians in the slightest?" Zhao Yun asked Dian Wei.
"This ...... How can there be a bandit who doesn't rob......" Dian Wei touched the thinning hair on his head and replied with some hesitation.
"Although Zang Ba is not a wicked person, he is by no means a good person, even if he has no offense against the common people, but there is no reason to let it go of the family, it is too weird at the moment...... There must be a big plan! ”
"The county seat so close to us was occupied, and we didn't even get any news...... It's also a good idea! Zhao Yun said, and couldn't help but admire.
"Cut, if I occupy this county, I will definitely ambush in the city and eat this grain transportation team in one bite!" Dian Wei said disdainfully.
"Old man, how many men do we need to take down?" Zhao Yun was immediately amused by Dian Wei.
"Take us? There aren't 20,000 or 30,000 people who can't handle it, right? Dian Wei said with a confident grin.
"You......" Zhao Yun helplessly held his forehead.
Zang Ba once helped Zhao Yun and Mi Zhu fight against Cao Bao's halfway interception, and had a clear understanding of Zhao Yun and Dian Wei's martial arts, knowing that his two or three thousand people couldn't gnaw on this hard bone at all, so he didn't do it. However, Chen Deng and Mi Fang must have spread the news of the occupation of the back road, and even the grain transportation team was broken up in the news. This is Zhao Yun's guess.
"Lao Dian, hurry up and find Chen Yuanlong and Mi Zifang! There must be a conspiracy in this! I'll be there! ”
Zhao Yun actually wanted to go in person, but he didn't worry about the arrogant Dian Wei, if Dian Wei was in charge of transporting grain, he would probably be attacked.
The elite soldiers of Xuzhou are very elite, just generals...... There is really no one who can show his hand, with Dian Wei, a fierce general, to stabilize the army's heart, even if he encounters a conspiracy, he can at least kill it!
Like Shan Fu Sun Guan and others in the city, the Xuzhou army under the city has no way to retreat, and the crisis in the rear far exceeds the imagination of Chen Deng and others.
Although the news came to report, there were not many enemy troops in the rear, only more than 3,000 people, but up to now, they had connected five cities, and the rear was already in chaos, as long as Zang Ba made trouble with Tao Qian, no matter how many other horses there were, Tao Qian, who was old and lost his enterprising spirit, would order the army to retreat!
Chen Deng and Mi Fang didn't know that Zang Ba's influence had not spread at all at the moment, and they were all concentrated here.
Even Tao Qian was immersed in the thrill of the army marching eastward like a bamboo.
A low horn sounded suddenly, and one of the guards walked briskly into the tent.
"There are people drowning outside the wall!"
Contrary to Chen Deng and others, Shan Fu and Sun Guan and others in the city got accurate news, their morale was shocked, and they even began to send people out to provoke.
"Chen Deng'er, come out and die!"
"Your back road has been cut off, and when the food and grass are scarce, you should obediently take refuge in me and wait for the king of the mountain!"
……
Outside the Xuzhou camp, more than a dozen loud Taishan people are shouting loudly at the camp, Taishan thieves are born in thieves, if it is about scolding, there is really no opponent in the Xuzhou army!
Behind them, there was also a Tarzan thief leader who stood on horseback with a spear.
Pick up the camp alone!
The crowd in the Xuzhou camp was excited, if it weren't for Chen Deng and Mi Fangchu leading the army, in order to quickly gather the hearts of the army and govern the army strictly, someone would have rushed forward to fight.
Even Chen Deng and Mi Fang were a little angry after seeing the rampant behavior of those people.
Provocation, naked provocation.
Although the rear is worrying at the moment, the Xuzhou army has the absolute upper hand in Qu County, where can it tolerate the arrogance of the Taishan thieves who have been breathing for several days?
"Chen engaged, the last general will ask for battle!"
"The last general is willing to kill the enemy and the horse!"
"General Mi ......"
