Following.

In front of Yiyang City.

Yiyang County Ling Yin Shou led the officials in the county and knelt in front of Liu Chan's horse.

Their eyes revealed apprehension and uneasiness, as if they were unsure of what decision Liu Chan would make.

Yin Shou's face looked slightly tired, but at this moment, he showed unreserved respect.

He knew that the situation in Runan County was irreversible at this time, and instead of continuing to resist, it was better to choose to surrender, and perhaps retain some family heritage.

Whoever is king can do it.

And I, Runan Yin, will live forever!

The officials beside him were also uneasy, they may not really know Liu Chan, but as officials, they knew that they should show an appropriate attitude.

At this moment, they knelt on the ground, their heads lowered almost close to the ground, and their buttocks pouted high, expressing their respect and obedience to Liu Chan.

Liu Chan's horses were parked high in front of them kneeling, his eyes deep, as if he was thinking about something.

The surrendered officials in front of them, whatever their motives, represented a part of Runan County.

After a moment of silence, Liu Chan took a deep breath, and his voice came out slowly:

"I am a relative of the Han family, and my long-cherished wish is the same as my father's king, that is, to support the Han family, and my wish is for the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment. You are willing to surrender, and you will continue to perform your duties in the future, as long as you are good enough to carry out your life, wealth is indispensable. ”

When Yin Shou and the others heard Liu Chan's words, the tension in their hearts gradually eased.

Liu Chan did not reproach them, but expressed a kind of tolerance and kindness.

They raised their heads at the same time, their eyes fixed on Liu Chan.

"Your Highness, we are willing to surrender!"

Yin Shou was the first to speak, his voice trembling slightly, but full of determination.

"Your Highness, we are willing to surrender!"

"Your Highness, we are willing to surrender!"

....

The other officials also responded, their voices trembling a little, but their attitudes were also resolute.

Liu Chan smiled slightly, he didn't say much, but his expression conveyed his acceptance.

He nodded slightly, motioning for them to get up.

Yin Shou and the others stood up excitedly, the pressure in their hearts seemed to be released, and they pinned the future of Runan County in Liu Chan's hands.

This scene may be a new beginning, a new chapter in Runan County.

"However, the ugly words are said in the front, if you wait for the surrender and still do the things of serving Wei, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The front is to say good things, but you can't just say good things badly, and this bad word must also be said by someone.

"Your Highness, rest assured, we are all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, and we will never do anything against the Han!"

Yin Shou immediately stepped forward to echo.

Liu Chan looked at the Yiyang County Order and nodded.

This guy's head is still bright, and without his cooperation last night, I'm afraid it won't be able to achieve such a good effect.

"You have made meritorious contributions, and you have killed the envoy of the King of Wei, what kind of reward do you want?"

Seeing this, Yin Shou hurriedly knelt down again and said, "What I did last night was just a letter of forgiveness from my subordinates, and I didn't dare to ask for a reward." ”

Liu Chan smiled and said, "Voting for a name is a vote, and a reward is a reward, just say it." ”

If you want to govern a land, you naturally need to give both grace and might.

Wei, he has already done it.

Previously, Liu Chan sent Zhang Bao to lead the cavalry to raid Runan, which made the Runan people fearful.

Kindness.

Naturally, it is also to be done.

Looking at Liu Chan's warm smile like a spring breeze, Yin Shou even had a desire to be the Taishou of Runan in his heart.

But...

Soon this thought was driven out of his mind.

Runan County is a large county, and it has not yet been completely occupied, so His Royal Highness must arrange for his henchmen to do it.

Yin Shou is still self-aware, he is completely unqualified.

After thinking about the joints, Yin Shou immediately said: "I have a son and a daughter under my knees. The son is not talented, but also invited into His Royal Highness to talk about martial arts, if you can fill the prince's mansion, it is naturally the best, the little girl is at a good age, although it is not stunning, but it is also a small jasper, gentle and lovely, please let her serve by His Royal Highness's side. ”

Boy!

This requirement is really for the sake of the family!

Send a son to a daughter.

Liu Chan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "But! ”

"Thank you, Your Highness Longen!"

Seeing Liu Chan's answer, Yin Shou kowtowed a few times.

When the rest of the officials saw this, they were all envious.

Entering the lecture martial arts hall, he is the prince's protégé, and I heard that those who were born in the martial arts hall have already achieved the position of the Taishou.

My own daughter serves the crown prince of Hanzhong, in case one day she is pampered and gives birth to blood, and the wealth of this family will come?

If the crown prince of Hanzhong wins the world in the future, maybe he can still sit in the position of the ninety-five.

Liu Chan's attention was not on these people.

Xinxi and Yiyang have fallen, and now, it is time to take advantage of Cao Pi's failure to bring troops to take down Qi Sicheng.

The cities along the Huaishui River are connected into a line, which can drive Shouchun directly!

At that time...

This three-person drama of Cao Pi, Sun Quan, and Zang Ba has to add him Liu Chan again!

Just a table of mahjong...

...

Three days later.

Shouchun City.

The main hall of the city government.

When Cao Pi heard the news that Xinxi City was broken, and the envoy of the King of Wei was killed, his face instantly turned blue.

"Quickly summon the ministers to discuss important matters!"

He eagerly gathered the advisers around him, including Sima Yi, who was both wise and brave, and Wu Zhen, who was erudite and talented, in the hope of finding a way to break the enemy.

Cao Pi sat on the main seat, his brows furrowed, and his eyes revealed deep worry.

He knew that the fall of the city meant that his previous strategy against Runan had completely failed.

Liu Gonghei, the crown prince of Hanzhong, is already a sharp sword hanging over his head, which can be inserted into the hinterland of Wei and into the heart of Wei at any time.

Runan County, in particular, is in danger of being annexed by him.

He must act as soon as possible to stabilize the situation.

Not long after, the ministers and strategists hurried in.

Seeing that the main characters had arrived, Cao Pi waved his hand a little impatiently, and said: "Xinxi City is broken, the messenger sent has been killed by Liu Chan, everyone, the situation in Runan is not optimistic, now, what should we do?" ”

Sima Yi's face was calm, he was far-sighted, and he was one of the wise men of the Wei State.

At this moment he spoke softly:

"My Majesty, the fall of New Rest City was a mistake on our part, but we cannot allow this to affect the overall situation. The most important thing now is to replenish the new troops as soon as possible, strengthen the defense of Runan County, maintain the land and water food routes, and at the same time send out rangers to understand the enemy's situation as soon as possible. ”

The new city is broken, which means that the kid of Liu Gonghei has succeeded again!

While Sima Yi was depressed, he immediately offered advice.

Runan County can't afford to lose!

On the one hand, Runan County is a large county, with hundreds of thousands of people and countless scholars, which can provide a steady stream of grain, grass and talents to the Wei State.

On the other hand, Runan County is the grain route of the battlefield ahead.

The three water systems of Huai River, Ru River and Yingshui are the main routes for transporting grain.

Originally, Huaishui had sufficient water flow, and it could be used as the main road for transporting grain, but it was attacked and disturbed by Jingzhou soldiers several times, resulting in all the pressure of transporting grain on Rushui and Yingshui.

If Runan is broken, Rushui is in danger!

At that time, relying only on Yingshui will not be able to provide the consumption of more than 200,000 mouths in front.

Bao Runan is a grain road. To protect the grain is to ensure that the war is not lost!

Wu Zhen also echoed and said: "King, Runan is very important, and there must be no room for loss, and a strong army should be sent to recover the lost territory, so as not to make the heir of Liu Gonghe, the prince of Hanzhong, become big in Runan County!" ”

Send a strong army to go?

But where did I get a strong army?

Chengde was attacked by Jiangdong, and I didn't dare to send a large army to help.

Not to mention the farther Runan County?

Jia Xu caught a glimpse of the displeasure on Cao Pi's face, he hurriedly stepped forward, held the wat board, saluted Cao Pi, and said, "Perhaps, you can agree to the request of the heir of Liu Gong and cut the five cities with him!" ”

Cut the five cities with him?

Cao Pi immediately sneered and said, "How can Jia Gong use this trick? Don't know the story of the Warring States period? Cut five cities today, how many cities do you want to cut tomorrow? ”

Jia Xu's face remained unchanged, and he said: "Then recruit Zang Ba and solve the internal troubles first." ”

Recruit Zang Ba?

"Is Jia Gong dizzy? So Zang Ba doesn't rebel? Why should I please him? ”

"Although the king has many soldiers, but there is no chance of winning in a three-sided battle, it is necessary to end one side, drag one side, and then raise the main army to destroy the other, so as to have a chance to win."

Although the Wei army is now numerous.

However, if you have to fight on three sides, plus the people who defend the city, there will not be enough people at all.

Divide the troops on three sides, and those three sides are disadvantages.

Cao Pi listened to Jia Xu's opinion, his face showed a thoughtful look, and Fang Cai's angry expression eased a little.

He nodded and agreed: "Jia Gong's words are reasonable, but how to end the war?" ”

"Cutting the five cities and the heir of the prince of Liu may not be able to satisfy his appetite. Jiangdong is powerful, there are a lot of soldiers, my army presses, maybe we can win, but not a big victory, even if we win, it is difficult to win quickly, for today's plan, we can only break Zang Ba first! ”

I also want to break Zang Ba first!

Cao Pi showed a wry smile on his face and said: "It's just that its grain route has been cut off for many days, and I haven't seen it out of the camp, what can I do about it?" ”

The rumors dispersed, and the grain road was cut off for him, but Zang Ba did have the ability to lead the army, and he carried it hard.

During this period, Cao Pi led the army to attack the village, but they were all defeated.

The camp on the north bank of the river was made like a turtle hedgehog by Zang Ba, and if it was to be attacked, tens of thousands of people would have to be killed or wounded.

"Don't worry, the king will come out of the village in a few days."

Jia Xu's feather fan shook gently, looking like he was winning.

"Why did Jia Gong say this?"

"There is not enough food and grass, sooner or later there will be problems, these days, His Majesty has been observing the filth poured into the water in Zang Ba's camp, and some can be poured down before, but when I came here this day or two, there are no human bones."

The grain road has been cut off for a long time, and it can last so long.

There is only one answer: cannibalism!

However...

Idle people and others will also be eaten, and there is no one to eat, so don't you just have to go to the village?

Zang Ba couldn't hold out for a few days.

"If that's the case, then Zang Ba's defeat is in front of you!"

Cao Pi will be skeptical, but now, if he doesn't believe Jia Xu's words, who else can he believe?

...

Now.

Across the river from Shouchun.

In Zangba's camp, the scarcity of grain and grass has reached its limit.

Not only the military rations, but even the female dependents and the people who were summoned were eaten up by the soldiers.

The reason why Zang Ba was able to stabilize the army when he was short of food was that on the first day of food shortage, he cooked his beautiful lady and shared it with the soldiers.

The lords have done this, what else can they say?

One by one.

However...

The current situation is that there are not even people in the army to eat.

The soldiers' faces gradually showed anxiety and restlessness, and they began to doubt Zang Ba's decision-making and began to worry about their own survival.

The pressure on the battlefield was already enormous, and the lack of food and grass has exacerbated their plight.

In this case, the discontent of the soldiers began to spread, some began to mumble, and even some complaints were heard.

When Zang Ba saw all this, he felt helpless and angry in his heart.

He understood that in order to stabilize morale, it was necessary to solve the problem of grain and grass as soon as possible, but the situation in front of him was extremely difficult.

Zang Ba stood on a high place, looking at the turmoil in the camp, and took a deep breath, he knew that he had to find a way to stabilize the morale of the army.

He began to consult with his aides in the hope of finding a way through the difficulties.

The staff members looked solemn, and everyone knew that the current situation was very serious, and once the morale collapsed, the entire camp could be in crisis.

In this late-night camp, Zang Ba and his officers were in full swing to discuss, hoping to find a solution.

Following.

Zang Ba and his son Zang Shun had already learned that Yinling was besieged and the grain route was cut off.

Zang Ba was wearing armor, and his eyes flashed with determination.

He sighed and said to Zang Shun with a solemn face: "The Yin Tomb is surrounded, the grain road is cut off, and now the situation is urgent. We must rush back to the tomb as soon as possible and lift the siege there, otherwise the situation will worsen. ”

Out of the village will inevitably face the Wei army, and even have to fight with the Wei army in the field.

But now that I'm going to starve to death, I don't have to worry about that.

Zang Shun's face was also solemn, he clenched his weapon, and his brows were furrowed.

He knew that there must not be the slightest hesitation at this time, and that he had to act immediately.

At this time, Zang Shun's face was ugly, and he didn't want to taste the taste of human flesh anymore.

Millet rice!

He's going to eat millet now!

"Father is right, we immediately led the troops out of the village and went to Yinling to support."

As for a possible Wei ambush?

I can't do it now.

Knock knock!

Drums were beating in the camp, and the soldiers felt the urgency and prepared to go.

Zang Ba waved his arms and ordered in a loud voice: "The whole army will set off, go to Yinling to support, open up the grain road, eat food, and rob women!" ”

"Eat food, rob women!"

"Eat food, rob women!"

"Eat food, rob women!"

...

For a while, the soldiers in the village poured out like a tide, and the whole camp suddenly became very lively.

The sergeants wore armor and armed weapons, and were filled with a strong will to fight.

Eat!

Dine!

Zang Ba and Zang Shun also led their soldiers to leap out and walk at the front of the team.

They knew in their hearts the importance of this operation.

The siege of Yinling meant that the Wei army's grain route was cut off, and once the grain and grass were cut off, the entire army would be in trouble.

The drums in the camp were beaten one after another, and the rousing atmosphere filled the air.

With Zang Ba's attack, the camp was no longer in a panic.

Now, it is up to Zang Ba and his son to open up the grain road and send food.

Otherwise...

No matter how heavy Zang Ba's kindness is to them, they can't continue to follow.

I don't even give you a mouthful of food, how can I give you my life?

And at the first moment when Zang Ba's army left the camp, the news spread throughout the Wei army on the other side.

Is it a Jedi counterattack in a desperate situation?

Or is it the Wei army's urn to catch a turtle?

The situation is not yet clear.
