Chapter 1336: Closing the Net

After entering the city, Zhao Gou looked at the empty Huazhou City, and he also had doubts in his heart, although he was powerful and powerful, even if he scared away the enemy, why did he even scare the people away?

"There's no one in the city?"

Zhao Gou looked at Zhang Jun and asked in confirmation.

"No, it may be that the enemy has moved the people away, just like Dong Zhuo did back then!"

Zhang Jun replied.

"Send someone out to investigate, beware of the enemy's ambush!"

Zhao Gou said.

The army of the Western Song Dynasty settled in the city of Huazhou, and Zhang Bangchang wrote several edicts in a row, praising Zhao Gou's wisdom and martial arts, and scared the enemy away without much effort.

And in the past few days, Luan Tingyu also led people to take Tongguan and control the throat of the Central Plains and Guanzhong.

And Zhao Gou's extermination of the Qi State was also issued, and many people who were waiting and watching defected to Zhao Gou, hoping to join as soon as possible to get more benefits in the future Great Song Dynasty.

Jingzhao Province.

Huazhou.

Ruan Li looked at Li Zhu and said, judging from the reactions from all over the country, there are not many people who respond to Zhao Gou.

"My lord, our army has won a complete victory, destroying more than 100,000 people, and Lu Shumi has already led the army to Xingqing Mansion!"

Two days later, a messenger entered the Jingzhao Mansion.

"Yes!"

Li Zhu looked at Huang Zhongfu and Ruan Li and said.

"After taking Huazhou and Tongguan, Zhao Gou is afraid that he doesn't think he can really win the world!"

"You've done a good job of getting him to make a splash and get the last fish into the net."

The army in Jingzhao Mansion was mobilized, and quietly went out of the city to the east.

Li Zhu nodded and said, Huazhou and Tongguan were deliberately done by him, the purpose was to boost Zhao Gou's arrogance, and also to let those who were watching enter the trap.

"Okay, okay, then it's time for us to close the net!"

Li Zhu said with a smile.

Huang Zhongfu said.

"Wait, there's no news about the war in the north!"

Huang Zhongfu and Ruan Li excitedly led the order.

"Mr. Li, there are not many people who started to enter Tongguan yesterday, and the news from all over the country is that no one goes to Tongguan anymore, is it time to close the net, then the remaining small fish and shrimp are not necessary!"

Li Zhu looked at the north and said, he needs to wait for news from Lu Zhishen's side.

The messenger reported to Li Zhuyu.

Li Zhu smiled and looked at the information in his hand and smiled.

"Huang Zhongfu and Ruan Li listened to the order and acted according to the plan!"

"Zhao Gou is very arrogant these days!"

Zhao Gou is still feasting the generals.

At the banquet, everyone was constantly sycophant, and Zhao Gou was happy.

"Your Majesty, now that we have 200,000 soldiers and horses, it is better to send troops to Tongguan tomorrow, go all the way east along the Yellow River, and recover the old capital."

"Your Majesty, Tokyo is where the dragon vein of the Great Song Dynasty is located, and now Your Majesty is mighty and powerful, if you get the dragon vein, then the world can get it at your fingertips!"

……

The more a group of people talked, the more excited they became, and the words became more and more outrageous, from the dragon vein to the celestial induction.

Zhao Gou listened happily and kept drinking and having fun with everyone.

"Report, Your Majesty, the enemy has raided Pucheng! Pucheng has fallen! ”

Zhang Jian ran into the banquet hall in a panic and said.

"Drinking...... What! ”

Zhao Gou originally wanted to ask Zhang Jian to drink, but as soon as he heard that Puzhou had fallen, he almost fell off the dragon chair.

The rest of the people were frozen as if they were frozen, with smiles still on their faces, and they didn't put down the wine glasses they raised.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Jun looked at Zhang Jian and asked.

"Receiving the news, the enemy suddenly attacked Puzhou, and the defenders were taken by surprise, so that the city fell. Now the north of the Wei River is occupied by the enemy. ”

Zhang Jian said.

"What? The north of the Wei River is lost, so what about our grain and grass! ”

Zhao Gou was in a hurry, and their grain and grass were still left in Pucheng.

"Your Majesty, you should quickly recapture Pucheng!"

Zhang Jun opened his mouth and said, their grain and grass are all in Pucheng, and if they don't take back their 200,000 troops, I'm afraid they will run out of food.

"Report, Your Majesty, there is an enemy outside the city!"

A soldier hurriedly ran in to report.

"There are enemies outside the city, too?"

Zhao Gou couldn't sit still, got up and walked outside the hall, and the rest of the people followed.

Zhao Gou led people to climb the city wall, only to see a fire outside the city, and Huazhou City was surrounded.

"How is it possible, what do scouts eat? How could the enemy suddenly appear! ”

Zhao Gou looked at the people around him, although he was drinking and having fun in the city, a large number of scouts were still sent outside the city.

"Your Majesty, the scout hasn't responded yet!"

Zhang Jian said.

Although the words are not explained, the meaning is self-evident, the enemy has surrounded the city, but none of the scouts outside the city have returned, then the result can only be that the scouts have been killed.

The fact that they were able to wipe out all the scouts silently showed that the enemy was already preparing and that they were still ignorant.

"Zhao Gou, you have been surrounded, go out of the city and surrender to spare you from dying!"

Li Zhu shouted outside the city.

"You traitors, I will kill you sooner or later!"

Zhao Gou yelled.

In response to Zhao Gou, there was a rain of flames and arrows.

In the face of the overwhelming rain of arrows, everyone hurriedly protected Zhao Gou to go down to the city.

Zhao Gou didn't dare to stay in the city any longer, and went directly back to the city under the escort.

"Tell me how to retreat from the enemy?"

Zhao Gou looked at everyone angrily and asked.

"Your Majesty, there are not many enemies outside the city, and tomorrow the army will go out of the city and directly retreat!"

Someone immediately spoke, just now they all took a rough look at the situation outside the city, the enemy is about 20,000, and they have 200,000 troops.

"Also, don't we still have a team of soldiers and horses in Tongguan, so we can let them come back to support!"

"Your Majesty, at the end of tomorrow, you will be the vanguard and destroy the enemy!"

……

Everyone spoke happily again, and they no longer worried about anything when they thought of the absolute numerical superiority on their side.

Zhao Gou also finally adopted the suggestions of these people and made some arrangements, but in the end, Luan Tingyu, Zhang Jun, Qin Hui, and Zhang Bangchang were left behind.

"The enemy is coming, what can you do!"

Zhao Gou looked at the four people and asked, although he listened to the words of those people just now, he was still a little uneasy, these four people in front of him were the four people he trusted the most, and he still had to discuss with these people.

"Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this situation, and the minister suggests that tomorrow take advantage of the chaos to break through and leave Guanzhong! You can go to Shuzhong and Jiangnan or Lingnan. ”

Zhang Jun said directly, he had been feeling that something was wrong during this time, and today he finally understood that they had been in the trap of the enemy, and what they had to do now was to break through and go to a place beyond the enemy's control.

"Leaving Guanzhong, what about these armies?"

Zhao Gou pointed to the army in the city, and he was really unwilling to give up the 200,000 army.

"Your Majesty, you can't hesitate, the minister is worried that there are still enemies coming, and if you don't break through, you won't be able to get out!"

Zhang Jun said.

"What do you think?"

Zhao Gou looked at the other three and asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks we still have to find out, if there are not many enemies, we don't need to be afraid!"

Zhang Bangchang said.

"That's what the minister means!"

Qin Hui echoed.
