31 | siege

After a few days of rest, the Jiangzhou Army has completely taken over Linjiang City.

Military funds from Jiangzhou have also been transported through Weishui in the past few days. Sent to Linjiang City.

Under the restraint of Qin Hanmu, after the Jiangzhou army entered the city, the military discipline was strict, and the "four noes" policy of not killing, robbing, disturbing, and burning, down to the soldiers, up to the generals of each battalion, but anyone who violated this order was severely punished.

Cui Mu's lieutenant general, relying on his own military exploits, saw a beautiful girl on the road after entering the city, so he forcibly kidnapped her, and slashed the sky and the earth with a sword, trying to snatch back his daughter's old father.

Who would have thought that in the barracks, before the deputy general could lift his pants, he was tied up by Cui Mu, who rushed to hear the news, and escorted to Qin Hanmu.

In the end, before the three armies, he became the chicken that respected the monkey, and was beheaded by Qin Hanmu himself.

Qin Hanmu's move also greatly gathered the hearts of the people in Linjiang City, for the people, as long as they are well fed and warmly dressed, what difference does it make if the meat eater is surnamed Wang or Li?

In the battle of Weishui, almost all the main force of the Zhongzhou army was captured, and after Qin Hanmu reorganized the army, he waved his army south, and almost encountered any resistance to attack the city of Zhongzhou.

Guarding the city was a young general that Qin Hanmu had never seen before, with starry eyebrows and sword eyes, and a silver armor shining in the bright sun.

Qin Hanmu was a little disappointed not to see Pu Jia's figure in the defenders, although it was not his intention to let Pu Jia go, but his appreciation of Pu Jia was genuine.

Qin Hanmu asked himself, if he and Pu Jia swapped identities, the Battle of Weishui probably couldn't do better than him - burn the military funds, buy time, gather the remnants of the army, and live to die.

Perhaps it was precisely because of these qualities of Pu Jia that he was noticed by the high-ranking immortal cultivators, so he had the consciousness of being manipulated and let go of Pu Jia.

Therefore, Qin Hanmu subconsciously thought that the reason why Pu Jia did not appear in the defenders of Zhongzhou City was because he was taken away by the immortal cultivator who saved his life, if this was the case, he should not have the opportunity to fight with Pu Jia head-on in the future.

Jiangzhou finally found out the identity information of this young guard: Liu Yang, who was also a dead soldier in the Zhongzhou Prefecture Governor's Mansion, later joined the Zhongzhou Army with Pu Jia, participated in several campaigns against the Southern Barbarians, and was hit by fifteen arrows without dying, and his military exploits were much more than the injuries on his body.

Qin Hanmu couldn't help but secretly admire that Zhongzhou was really outstanding and talented. Liu Yang abandoned the land of several cities this time, gathered his troops and retreated to the main city, so bold, compared to Pujia's previous burning of the granary.

However, the battle of Weishui really made Zhongzhou go away, although the main city of Zhongzhou is solid, but the Jiangzhou army has become a siege, only need to besiege the city for a few months, the city must be short of food and grass, and it will be defeated without a fight.

However, something that Qin Hanmu didn't expect finally happened.

On the fifth day of the siege, the planned military supplies did not arrive as scheduled.

Until late at night on the fifth day, Cui Muhuo rushed into Qin Hanmu's camp in a hurry.

"General, our grain road was attacked, and all military assets were burned by a squad of the Zhongzhou Army." Cui Mudao.

Qin Hanmu stood up abruptly, and said with a solemn face: "What about the casualties of the sergeants who escorted the military funds?" ”

Cui Mu said: "They were all confiscated weapons and tied to their original places, no casualties, just ......"

"Just what?" Qin Hanmu asked.

"Do you still remember the young general Pu Jia of Zhongzhou who was ordered to be let go by you?" Cui Mu hesitated.

Qin Hanmu's face turned pale: "Are you saying that the person who attacked the grain road and burned the military funds was Pujia?" ”

Cui Mu sighed and nodded, his expression gloomy.

"The responsibility for this matter lies with me, I will deal with it personally, you will guard here on my behalf for the next few days, only besiege and not attack, understand?" Qin Han said.

"General, the last general is willing to go to capture Pujia on his behalf." Cui Mudao.

"No need, the main force of the Zhongzhou army has been lost, and retreating to the main city has occupied most of their remaining troops, Pu Jia's move is only to disrupt the deployment of our army and buy more time for the defenders of the main city, which is actually a strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao." Qin Han said, "I only need to bring a cavalry unit to contain Pujia's follow-up actions, and within three months, Zhongzhou will be defeated." ”

Cui Mu nodded knowingly and said, "Obey the order of the general." ”

The next day, Qin Hanmu led a cavalry squad of three hundred people to set off.

Shangguan Miao originally planned to go with Qin Hanmu, but was rejected by Qin Hanmu on the grounds that she had just performed the forbidden technique, and her body was not suitable for long-distance attacks.

"This rush battle is different from the army's advance tactics, eating and sleeping in the open air, the night is cold and the road is far away, and it is good to wait for me in the army with little peace of mind." Qin Hanmu explained, "When I return, it will be the day when the main city of Zhongzhou is broken. When the time comes, we will announce the marriage to Kyushu. ”

Although Shangguan Miao was not worried about Qin Hanmu going alone, he was worried that if he went with him, it would make Qin Hanmu affect the march because he cared about himself. So he had to reluctantly stay in the army.

Before leaving, Qin Hanmu took Shangguan Miao's hand on horseback, unfolded her palm, and took out a delicate emerald jade from his arms and placed it in her palm.

"The ancestors of the Qin family will protect you for me." Qin Han said.

Shangguan Miao's ruddy lips outlined a seductive arc, held the jade tightly, and said softly: "The color is good, but the color is a little too green." ”

In the last sentence, Shangguan Miao deliberately lowered his voice, and only Qin Hanmu could hear it.

Qin Hanmu didn't react for a while, Shangguan Miao pointed to the iron helmet on his head, and then pointed to the jade in his hand, a playful smile flashed in his eyes.

This time, Qin Hanmu naturally understood the meaning of Shangguan Miao's words, so he pretended to be fierce, and also said in a voice that only two people could hear: "General Ben is not powerful, do you think I am a white-faced scholar?" ”

Shangguan said faintly: "The white-faced scholar is at least whiter than you." ”

Qin Hanmu was not to be outdone: "How can a white-faced scholar have a good general figure?" ”

Shangguan Miao touched his chin and thought, "Okay?" ”

Qin Hanmu said: "Aren't you greedy for General Ben's body?" ”

Shangguan Miao pondered for a moment, and nodded aggrievedly: "Gluttony." ”

"It's been a long time." At the end, he added a sentence full of resentment.

This sentence made Qin Hanmu defeated again, and he rode away with a red face, hiding his embarrassment by the whip of the horse.

Shangguan Miao looked at Qin Hanmu's distant back, a trace of indifferent sadness appeared in his eyes, and his hand unconsciously clenched the small jade he gave her, and prayed silently in his heart: "Husband, return as soon as possible." ”
