Chapter 70: Smoke Everywhere

Dangjun, Daliang.

The magistrate of Dangjun was fully equipped and was patrolling the city defense under the swarm of his own soldiers.

Daliang used to be the capital of the Great Wei State, with a high city and deep ditches and a large population, but since Peng Yue became the prime minister of the Wei State, he moved the capital to his old nest Dingtao, so now, the status of the Great Liang in the Liang State has declined, but even so, the Great Liang is definitely the premier capital in the Central Plains.

As for the Dangjun magistrate, Hu Yu is one of the henchmen and old generals who followed Peng Yue to raise troops from Juye Ze, although his ability is mediocre, but he has won Peng Yue's trust, Liu Bang, the king of Han, spread the world, and invited all the princes to fight Xiang Yu together, Peng Yue had to go because he couldn't save face, but he left Hu Yue alone to garrison Daliang, which shows Peng Yue's trust in him.

"Cheer up Lao Tzu, and then widen your eyes!" Hu Xuan pressed his sword to patrol and shouted, "Once you find the trace of the thief, report it immediately!" ”

"No!" The defenders of the city agreed one after another.

Hu Yu inspected back and forth twice, and then he was relieved to go back to the government office.

In the past few days, Dangjun has really had some rumors, and a little-known team leader in Chenliu County, as if his name was Pang Yu, actually pretended to be the descendant of Pang Juan, a famous general of the late Wei Dynasty, but there are still people who believe that this bold traitor actually killed Chen Liuling, and in just a few days, he captured Chenliu and Yongqiu counties one after another, and I heard that tens of thousands of people have been gathered!

There is also Qu Yuyi in the west, there were originally remnants of the Chu army in their activities, and now, the activities of these remnants of the Chu army are even more rampant, but Hu Yu is no longer satisfied, and now he will never dare to lead troops to attack, if he really leaves Daliang with the army, maybe the kid named Pang Yu in the south should take advantage of the weakness to attack Daliang!

What makes Hu Fu even more worried is that there seem to be signs of instability in Daliang City.

Ao Cang is lost, Xingyang, Guangwu, Chenggao, Jingyi, Suoyi five moats are lost such a big thing, it is absolutely impossible to block the news, most of the Haoqiang clans in Daliang City already know the truth, among them, there are many Haoqiang clans who have been squeezed out by King Liang, and these people may jump out at any time to make trouble!

Although Hu Yu's ability is mediocre, he has fought with Peng Yue for so many years after all, and he knows that it is terrible to cooperate with the inside and outside, so he plans to eliminate this unstable factor as soon as possible, and he has already drawn up a plan to start uprooting this group of powerful clans that may be unfavorable to him tonight!

However, as soon as Hu Yu got down from the city tower, a small official came to speak in a hurry: "My lord, it's not good, several clans such as Gongyi and Nangong have rebelled, and Gongyipan and Nangong have already brought hundreds of guests to the government office, and they are killing people and setting fire around, my lord, you should hurry up and go to the military camp to take refuge!" ”

"What did you say?" Hu was shocked when he heard this.

Hu Yu couldn't help but be surprised, his side had just planned, and he didn't want to start it first? These powerful families really can't be underestimated!

Just as he was surprised, a landslide and tsunami of shouts suddenly sounded outside the city.

Immediately, the defenders of the Great Liang at the head of the city also stirred, and a small colonel poked his head out of the female wall, and shouted with a frightened face: "My lord, it's not good, the thieves have killed it!" ”

"What did you say?" Hu Yu became more and more surprised, "Thief?!" ”

Before the words fell, a small colonel rode a fast horse and galloped over, and before anyone arrived, a terrible long howl had already been heard: "My lord, it's a disaster, the public loser opened the west gate with the doorman, and thousands of thieves have entered the city, my lord, Daliang has been lost, Daliang City has been lost......"

"Huh?!" Hu Xuan's surprise is really extraordinary, and he is stupid at the moment.

"My lord, don't stay here for a long time, go, hurry up!" The pro-soldier team behind Hu Yu was clever, and immediately rushed forward with more than a dozen pro-soldiers, and escorted Hu Yu out of the east gate and went to Dingtao.

Sanchuan County, Tiger Prison Pass.

Lu Ze has already moved his government office from Luoyang to Tiger Prison Pass!

Tiger Prison Pass is the barrier in the east of Luoyang, but also the gateway of Sanchuan County, the geographical location is extremely important, although the Tiger Prison Pass originally had 2,000 elite soldiers stationed, but Lu Ze still felt uneasy, and brought 5,000 elite soldiers from Luoyang to enrich the Tiger Prison Pass, until now, Lu Ze no longer wants to put down the rebellion in Wei by himself.

Although Liu Bang left more than 10,000 elite soldiers to Sanchuan County, compared to the thief soldiers, this number of troops is still too small.

Now, Lu Ze no longer wants to recover Liangdi, he just needs to be able to hold the Tiger Prison Pass and the Sanchuan Portal!

Sanchuan County is the eastern barrier of the Guanzhong Plain, because behind Luoyang is Hangu Pass, once the rebels capture Luoyang, and then capture Hangu Pass to the west, then the foundation of Guanzhong will not be able to be kept! Even if Liu Bang returns to the division quickly, Guanzhong will inevitably be greatly damaged, in that case, the Guanzhong Plain will not want to recover in a short period of time.

What especially worries Lu Ze is that the garrison in Guanzhong is extremely empty now, with only 20,000 old and weak people!

Therefore, whether or not you can hold the Tiger Prison Pass has become a prerequisite for whether you can hold Sanchuan County and Guanzhong!

Therefore, Lu Ze immediately moved his government office forward to the Tiger Prison Pass, and in order to boost morale, he even put on a posture of co-existence and death with the Tiger Prison Pass.

I have to say that Lu Ze still has a lot of vision and ability.

However, the other county magistrates of Dang County, Chen County, Dong County, and Yingchuan County did not have Lu Ze's eyesight and ability, and in less than five days, all kinds of murderous news continued to spread to the Tiger Prison Pass!

Lu Ze was set up in the hall of the government office of the Tiger Prison Pass, and the map of Wei was already hanging on the screen to the north, and Lu Ze and more than a dozen of his staff and generals were talking softly around the map, and nearly half of the more than 50 cities in Wei on the map had been painted black, and these cities were sure to have been captured by the rebels.

Wolf smoke everywhere, as far as the eye can see, the entire Wei land can really be said to be full of wolf smoke!

"Report the ......" Another subordinate entered in a hurry, knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, the beam is lost!" ”

As the words fell, there was an uproar in the hall.

"Huh?! The girder is also lost? ”

"Oh my God, how is this good?"

"I can't believe that the thieves are so powerful!"

"I don't know when King Han and King Liang will be able to return to their teacher?"

"Yes, if the army of the King of Han does not come back, the entire Wei land will be lost, when the time comes, the thieves will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack the Tiger Pass, although the Tiger Pass is the world's male pass, but after all, we only have 7,000 elite soldiers, may not be able to defend it, once the Tiger Pass is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Lu Ze didn't say a word, just walked to the map with black charcoal, and painted Daliang City black, Daliang is the first county to lose the four counties around Aocang, and it is also the leading Xiongcheng Dayi in Wei, the loss of Daliang is enough to show that the arrogance of the thieves is quite arrogant!

The staff and subordinates whispered, but Lu Ze didn't say anything.

After a long time, Lu Ze said in a deep voice: "Order, send more scouts to work carefully, and explore again!" ”

Ao Cang, Xiang Zhuang slowly climbed to the top of the city accompanied by Wei Yu and Wu She.

Standing on the top of the city and looking down condescendingly, I saw that dense layers of wooden huts and huts had been erected under Ao Mountain, and there were more incalculable rag tents in the middle, and on the eastern edge of these wooden huts and rag tents, there was a row of neat porridge sheds, and four or five hundred large iron kettles had been erected, and they were boiling porridge day and night, and it was thick porridge that was inserted into chopsticks but not poured down.

In less than five days, under the attraction of the millet of Aocang, not only the 50,000 hungry people who were scattered a few days ago went and returned, but also hundreds of thousands of hungry people flocked to it, although no one has counted it, and it is impossible to count it in reality, but according to Xiang Zhuang's visual measurement, the hungry people gathered outside Ao Cang have exceeded 500,000!

Naturally, most of these 500,000 hungry people are old and young, women and children, but there are not no strong men!

This strong man is like a bamboo shoot in a bamboo forest, the people in front have dug it once, and the people in the back can still find some of it, maybe the amount is less, the quality is poorer, but there are still good ones! However, in Xiang Zhuang's eyes, these strong men are also a burden, at least before the Chu army has no foundation, it is definitely a burden!

After watching silently for a long time, Xiang Zhuang suddenly asked Wu Shedao: "Sir, how much grain is left in Aocang?" ”

Wu Shi sighed and said worriedly: "General, there are not many Ao Cang's Su, if it is just the existing hundreds of thousands of hungry people, it will be able to eat for almost half a year, but the problem is that there will definitely be more hungry people flocking to it in the future, so I am worried that Ao Cang's Su may not last for two months!" ”

"Two months?" Wei Yu nodded, looking thoughtful.

Xiang Zhuang said again: "Sir, our army's dry food should be fried, right?" ”

"Our army's rations have been fried!" Wu Shi hurriedly said, "A total of more than five hundred mules and horses are loaded!" ”

Xiang Zhuang nodded, suddenly looked back at Wei Yu, and said, "Strategist, should we go?" ”

"yes, it's almost time to go." Wei Yu nodded, and said thoughtfully, "It's time to go." ”
