Guo Jia and Fu Zhu gave their own suggestions for the current form, Fu Zhu said: "From the perspective of his subordinates, Gongsun Zhan must be short of grain and grass, otherwise he will definitely fight again according to his temperament, even if he does not attack us, he will also face the coalition army of Liu and Gongzi, now he does not fight and does not make peace, he must want to wait until the autumn harvest to launch an attack, and harvest the grain first, and the rich traders in Youzhou are also good friends with him, after the autumn harvest, he will definitely hoard a large amount of grain and grass, and at that time, he will attack like us." ”

"My lord, my subordinates also agree with Mr. Fu's statement." Guo Jia said: "My subordinates think that we should take action, and it is best to cut off Gongsun Zhan's supply of grain and grass, even if it cannot be completely cut, it is best to delay his supply of grain and grass, so that it is in our best interest." ”

Lin Sen nodded and said, "Well, according to Gongsun Zhan's strength, Shanggu, Daijun and Guangyang County are his direct supply points, if he can defeat Liu He, then the counties east of Yuyang will also provide him with grain and grass, if we don't do something, then the battle in the future will not be easy to fight." ”

Lin Sen thought about it again and again, and said: "The east of Guangyang County is too deep, which is not conducive to our army's fighting, and it is still okay in the area of Shanggu and Daijun, so Zhao Yun led Bai Ma Yicong and Xiliang Tie to roam east of Yuyang, mainly harassing." I led the rest of the cavalry to Shanggu and Daijun, with Xu Rong and Pan Feng as generals. Gao Shun led all the infantry to stay in Zhuoxian. Let's hurry up and get ready to go, the autumn harvest time is not far away, we have to move quickly. ”

Taking advantage of the time for the army to prepare, Lin Sen hurriedly went offline, called one person at a time, and ordered Huangfu Song to go to Bingzhou to take over Zhang Liao's position, Zang Hong temporarily led the defense of the army in Bingzhou, and Zhang Liao's main army entered Daijun through Yanmen. Zhang Liao would rush to Daijun at the tenth of the autumn harvest.

This battle is the key to whether Gongsun Chan can be quickly defeated, if Gongsun Chan's backup supply cannot be cut off, at that time, with Gongsun Chan's historical status as a famous and powerful man in the north, maybe he will be beaten out of Youzhou, then the soldiers, horses, money and food spent for most of the past six months will not be in vain. Therefore, Lin Sen also made up his mind, even if he couldn't completely cut off Gongsun Zhan's supply line, he would completely pacify Shanggu County and cut off one of Gongsun Zhan's arms.

The movements of Lin Sen's army can't be hidden at all, and they can't hide if they want to, and soon the royal hegemony and the roar of Shanggu County all learned that Lin Sen was coming for them, and let Gongsun Zan of Guangyang County not fight, and the autumn harvest came to attack them. The purpose is obvious, you don't need to guess to know, naturally you are coming for food.

This year, Youzhou was affected by the war, coupled with natural disasters, the grain will definitely be lost, if the grain can not be safely harvested into the warehouse, then they can only rely on the grain accumulated in the past to survive this winter, Lin Sen has corn and sweet potatoes These two kinds of grain have long been no secret. They got some seeds, too, but only just now. This year is the first year of planting, and the planting area is very small, and they are counting on the harvest to expand the area next year, so saving food is saving their lives, and it doesn't matter how much they sacrifice for this.

It wasn't easy for Lin Sen to attack Upper Valley County. Shanggu County belongs to the border fortress, which is blocked by the Great Wall, and it must first go down to Juyong Pass before he can enter Shanggu County, so Lin Sen didn't think that he could rely on his cavalry to quickly enter it. He still counted on Zhang Liao to attack from the rear, he was responsible for frontal containment, his bag was full of ballistas, catapults and rushing carts, as well as a lot of stones, spears, and the rear was constantly transporting supplies, as long as the enemy dared to relax the defense of Juyong Pass, he would capture the city pass and enter Shanggu County.

The royal family Long Shao and Jiutian Qi asked for help from the war spirit, and wanted to encircle and force Lin Sen back and forth, but the war spirit could not help, Liu He's coalition army happened to be entrenched in the periphery of Guangyang County, once the war spirit led the army to fight, they would meet head-on, without Gongsun Zhan, the war spirit did not think that Liu He's coalition army could be fought with his own strength, and could only watch Lin Sen attack Juyong Pass day by day.

Lin Sen's army is stationed outside Juyong Pass, and only uses catapults and ballistas to attack the city pass every day, and the army is idle, and the cavalry he brings is nonsense if it is used to attack the city, as long as it gives the defenders a feeling that they are in danger at all times, it is enough, as for how long it will take to defeat Juyong Pass, he doesn't care.

Twenty days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the autumn harvest has officially begun, according to the news provided to Lin Sen by the players who followed Zhang Liao to fight, Zhang Liao had officially entered Dai County five days ago, and there was no resistance in Dai County, and according to Lin Sen's instructions, he forcibly requisitioned the local grain that had just been harvested, threatened with force, and then purchased it at a price higher than the market price.

This is also to avoid the excess grain from flowing into the hands of the enemy, which may cause dissatisfaction among the local people, merchants, and clans, but the situation is forced, even if they are dissatisfied, there is no way, and it is a big deal to do pacification work when they take Youzhou in the future.

This method is really very effective, what are the people planting rice for, isn't it just to eat their stomachs, and exchange some money for the excess, the surplus grain in the hands of the small people may not be much, but those rich and big families must have hoarded a lot of grain, just in Dai County, Zhang Liao requisitioned 50,000 stone of grain, and the main army of 100,000 was stationed in Dai County.

In fact, Daijun also belonged to the territory of the royal hegemony, but Daijun was close to Bingzhou and the Mongolian Plateau, which belonged to their rear, and there were not many soldiers and horses stationed.

The two large guilds of the Imperial Hegemony and the Roaring Nine Days, heard that Zhang Liao attacked from behind, and hurriedly mobilized heavy troops to Daijun, most of their soldiers and horses were defending in Juyong Pass, so that the defense of Juyong Pass was bound to be lax, and the hasty transfer of troops may cause some panic, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, when Lin Sen learned that Zhang Liao attacked Daijun, he transferred 100,000 infantry from Gao Shun, and he wanted to take the opportunity to storm Juyong Pass.

Lin Sen is now completely oppressive with power, he has occupied Jizhou for many years, has been here, diligent in internal affairs, training the army, Qingquan City is the largest arsenal in the Han Dynasty, around the past few years in the game of natural disasters, but he is already far ahead of the other princes in strength at this time, on the other hand, the royal hegemony and the roar of the nine days originally only occupied a county, or Youzhou, an area where agriculture is not developed, they have earned a lot of money in the past few years, but many defeats have caused them heavy losses. At this time, there were only a few more than a million soldiers and horses.

They are not like Yuan Benchu's family lineage, even if Yuan Shao only occupies the two counties of Donglai and Beihai, but the protégés of the Yuan family will still provide him with a steady stream of soldiers, horses, money and food, he only needs a little effort, it is easy to maintain millions of troops, not to mention that Donglai and Beihai counties are still rich places. With a vast plain to grow food, it is fortunate that many defeats have lost a lot of soldiers and horses, otherwise, according to their original strength, the grain obtained by Shanggu County this year may not be able to support their development consumption.

Juyong Pass is a majestic pass, with a long history, comparable to the Tiger Prison and the two passes of Hangu, it is an important pass of the border fortress, very majestic and solid, easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, at this time, the defenders were not very many, only about less than a million people, and the elite part was transferred to Daijun to attack Zhang Liao, but the 100,000 troops led by Zhang Liao were also the elite of Jizhou, all of which were advanced troops, and there was a famous general Zhang Liao commanding him, and his combat power could be described as powerful. The main thing is that he has food in his hands, and he does not panic in his heart.

Dai County is located at the intersection of Heng Mountain, Taihang Mountain and Yan Mountain. Surrounded by mountains, Zhang Liao chose this place as a battlefield It also took a lot of thought, his command is all foot soldiers, Youzhou is famous for cavalry, and the mountainous area is not conducive to cavalry combat, although he is an outsider. The other party should have occupied a certain geographical advantage, but now the forms have changed from each other, he occupies the advantage of the geographical advantage, and he is handy in fighting, and the army of 100,000 is separated. Attacking everywhere, relying on the mountains, they launched a tragic guerrilla war.

The hundreds of thousands of people who have been roaring for nine days are depressed, and they originally thought that there were many cavalry on their side, and the ancient war cavalry against the infantry was the rhythm of adults beating children, but he didn't expect to be dragged into his battlefield by Zhang Liao, and the cavalry became a burden, the offense was not effective, the defense was even more nonsense, and they were controlled by others everywhere.

Jiutian personally sat in Juyong Pass, the royal family Long Shao was responsible for organizing the harvest of grain, hoping to harvest it as soon as possible, as long as the grain entered the core of their territory, it would be basically safe, relying on the current strength, it was impossible for Lin Sen to attack here, after all, Lin Sen was also fighting in a different place, and the grain and grass materials needed to be transferred from Jizhou, and it would be unfavorable to Lin Sen if it was consumed for a long time.

The hundreds of thousands of troops they sent to Daijun can make the toss miserable, the attack is not smooth during the day, and there is no rest at night, just after resting, Zhang Liao's troops came to attack, for ten days in a row, day after day, they lost more than 100,000 soldiers, and the morale of the army was low to the bottom, which really made them depressed.

In the end, after discussion, it is better to temporarily withdraw from Daijun, relying on the terrain to defend, and not let Zhang Liao attack Shanggu County immediately, anyway, Daijun has been lost, and it is not easy to recover them alone, so they can only do a good job of defense, and ask the royal family Long Shao to talk about it.

These days, there have been big battles every day under Juyong Pass, Lin Sen wants to take the pass, but there is no good way, he can only attack, but he doesn't want to lose too many troops, so he uses catapults and ballistas to bombard the city wall all the time.

For this reason, he deliberately mobilized the nearby people to mine stones, not to mention, there are really a lot of people who are willing to go up the mountain to quarry, because Lin Sen gave money at that time, who is not willing to do it with money, the boulders are continuously supplied, and the catapults are operating at full load every day, but the ballista can not be like this, the spear needs the cooperation of carpenters and blacksmiths to be made, and it is impossible to support the ballista to operate at full capacity.

Rao is like this, for ten days in a row, there is no damage to the wall of Juyong Pass, it is worthy of the famous Xiongguan, it is really strong, Lin Sen has no way, Juyong Pass can not be captured, he has no way to enter Shanggu County, calculate the time, the grain must have been harvested, his plan has failed, he can only go down the line to inform Zhang Liao to slowly withdraw the army, withdraw and merge the state, wait for the order, and before leaving, it is best to requisition grain and grass in Daijun again, and try not to leave the enemy a grain of grain except for the people's rations.

After Zhang Liao withdrew from Dai County, Lin Sen also led the army back, this operation can only be regarded as a third of the completion, Zhang Liao cut off the supply of the enemy's county, so that the enemy suffered a lot of losses, but at the same time there was no progress on his side, and Shanggu County, which was a grain station, had no impact at all, which was really uncomfortable.

At the same time, when Lin Sen stormed Juyong Pass, Gongsun Chan finally sent troops, as expected, the object of his attack was Liu He, however, Zhao Yun also led the cavalry to attack at this time, detoured to Yuyang County and Liu He to fight against Gongsun Chan, he led Lin Sen's most elite cavalry, the number of 60,000, quite a strong force, Gao Shun asked Lin Sen for instructions, and also led the army to press the realm, but Gao Shun just dangled a shot, and did not really want to attack, it was completely used to reduce the pressure on Zhao Yun and Liu He.

Liu He's army is relying on Yuyang County, he is not stupid, he will not leave so much food to Gongsun Chan in vain, he just wants to block Gongsun Chan before the autumn harvest, so that he has enough time to arrange for the people to collect grain, so the battle is mainly to delay time, and fight and retreat, Zhao Yun received the military order is to destroy Gongsun Chan's food supply as much as possible, since Liu He is willing to do this, he will also follow together, end up idle, with him and Gao Shun to contain each other, Gongsun Chan will not dare to pounce on each other, so the delay will be longer, The more detrimental it is to Gongsun Zhan......
