Shangcai Chengzhong.

Cao Xiu tore the oily leg of lamb on his hand and stuffed it into his mouth without caring about eating.

"That's a good thing!"

The leg of lamb in Cao Xiu's hand is roasted with an attractive aroma, the skin is golden brown, the fat is moist, the meat is tender and juicy, and the gravy suddenly gushes out after cutting.

When you bite into it, the hot aroma and the tender and flavorful lamb blend in your mouth, making you taste it slowly and have an endless aftertaste.

It's a delicious, mouth-watering dish that is satisfying and enjoyable.

How many days have I not eaten something so delicious.

On the side, several guards stared directly at the leg of mutton in Cao Xiu's hand, swallowing their saliva, and their eyes were almost about to glow green.

"Newspaper~"

Outside the door, a lieutenant general walked slowly forward.

"General, the heralds sent out have all been hunted down and killed by the Han army, these days, we have almost lost contact with other cities, we can send some soldiers out of the city to sweep away the Han army outside the city? At the very least, let the Courier Ranger go out? ”

These days, Cao Xiu, who is in Shangcai, has basically become deaf and mute.

Every day, I only saw the people migrating on the official road outside the city, and some traces of the Han army appeared, even in the middle of the night, and the heralds could not go out.

It seems that outside Shangcai City, there are Han troops who have come to hunt and kill the Wei army's heralds.

"Sending troops? Sending troops now is not disobeying military orders? Do you want heads to the ground? ”

The lieutenant general opened his mouth and said: "The general will not be subject to the orders of the king outside, besides, we are not all out of the city, only a few hundred people, clear the outside of the city, if we can rob the people and create some trouble for the Han army, it will be better." ”

Causing trouble?

I think you're trying to plunder the people.

"What can hundreds of people do? And what if you send more people out, in case you get hit? The situation in Runan is only improving, we will make great contributions when we hold Shangcai, and we don't have to worry about the rest of the things, the grain and grass in the city are still enough for several months, so there is no need to worry. ”

When the sky fell, there were tall men on top of it.

What is he Cao Xiu afraid of?

After coming to Runan and being defeated by Liu Chan, Cao Xiu was already suffering from Zenphobia.

If he had stuck to the city before, did not go out of the city to fight, and did not want to recover Runan, how could he be tricked, and how could he be taken advantage of by the heir of Liu Gong, the king of Hanzhong?

If you don't do anything, you can't go wrong.

As a general, as long as he guards Shangcai City, that is enough.

Now.

Outside the city of Shangcai.

Han Zhou led the soldiers of Yiquzhou County and was maintaining order.

Tens of thousands of people have moved, and the scene is not insignificant.

Some of them also brought furniture and valuables.

The cry of children, the sighs and curses of the people from time to time.

Occasionally, a few voices begging for mercy were heard.

The woman is basically dirty, with pot ashes on her face, for fear that she will be robbed and insulted.

Never trust human nature.

In this chaotic scenario, if there is no army in charge, the stronger of the weaker will go to the weaker side.

In between, they will unleash all their evil.

What to vent desires, what to rob and kill.

It's so commonplace.

At the same time, it is also necessary to guard against a sneak attack by the Runan mountain bandits.

Where there is war, there will be banditry.

Those who went up to the mountains to be bandits were originally desperate people, but after becoming mountain bandits, they were also dragon slayers who turned into evil dragons, and the swords in their hands were unceremoniously slashed at those people who couldn't survive.

Kill even harder!

Along the way, Han Zhou didn't know how many people he killed.

Some are homeless people, ruffians, and gangsters who are making trouble among the people, and more are mountain bandits who want to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the chaos to rob.

Of course

There are also people who do not want to move, but are forced to relocate, and want to cause unrest.

For these people, the ring-headed knife in Han Zhou's hand was unceremoniously cut at their heads.

It's not that he's cold-blooded.

But Han Xuan understands that only in this way can Runan become Runan of Runan.

This short period of pain is something that all the people of Runan have to bear.

As long as His Highness's plan succeeds, everything will be fine.

That's right.

Zhang Bao's main army is not outside Shangcai City, let alone in Haoyang City.

He went somewhere else.

And the migration of these people was handed over to Han Zhou's 3,000 county soldiers to maintain order.

Yao remembered that late at night a few days ago, Zhang Bao took him to talk freely, talking about the prospect of Runan, his personal future, and His Royal Highness's ambitions.

For the sake of His Royal Highness's ambitions, for his personal future, and for the future of Runan, he Han Xuan has some infamy, what is it?

"Brother Han, these Wei soldiers are really turtles, they don't dare to go out of the city to fight, I heard that there are tigers and leopards in the city, when Brother Han took me to wait, the younger brother was so scared that he almost went up the mountain, I don't want to come to Shangcai, I will become an uncle, what is the world's first cavalry tiger and leopard ride, it's not that I dare to go out of the city to fight?"

"These days, I've eaten a lot of good things."

Bandits are like combs, soldiers are like grates, and officials are like shavings.

While maintaining order, these soldiers of Runan Prefecture naturally have their own hands.

As long as there is no chaos, Han Zhou acquiesces.

How can our brothers risk their lives to come without any benefit?

It was him, who had found three good daughters to serve as concubines in the past few days.

For officers and soldiers like them, the more chaotic they are, the more they can fish in troubled waters.

The more you can get the benefits.

Han Xuan is so dedicated to maintaining order and killing bandits, without these benefits, how can he have the motivation to kill?

"You still have to be careful when the Wei army goes out of the city, I can't wait to save the lives of the people at that time, I will wait for my own consideration, but I must protect it well."

The people are like leeks, if they die, there is still a stubble, and there is only one life for their own life.

"The Wei army is so cowering, and dare to go out of the city?"

"After General Zhang Bao's news is delivered, the Wei army will not be so honest."

Now the Wei army can't hold out because the Han army wants to retreat and lose some people, which is insignificant.

But once he knew that the purpose of the Han army was not only this, the current strategy would naturally change.

Outside the city.

The gates were shut.

And the army led by Zhang Bao was already arrayed outside Dingying City.

That's right.

From the beginning, Liu Chan had no intention of retreating.

It was only to confuse the Wei army, so as to mobilize the mobile forces of the Han army and break through the weak points of the Wei army.

There were dozens of cities in Runan, and the Wei army only had five or six to hold on.

For example, the six cities of Shangcai, Xincai, Shenyang, Xiping, Liyang, and Ancheng consumed most of the Wei army's military strength in Runan.

For example, Ding Ying under the soldiers of Zhang Bao Chen is only two or three thousand people.

The situation in the city was even clearer to the military division.

Even the city defense map is in hand.

"First send someone to say the surrender, in the interval of the surrender, assemble the ladder and other siege equipment, and prepare to attack the city!"

Although Dingying City is not a small city, because there are too few people guarding the city, the big city is even more difficult to defend.

In addition, in the city, there is also a military division that stirs up the storm, and the people of the Shi clan in the city are also restless.

As long as the battle starts, Dingying will be easy to defeat.

Now Liu Chan's strategy is, where you are strong, I will not fight, but where you are weak, I will fight all!

Haoyang, Pingyu, Nanton.

An enclave indeed.

But if I connect the cities of Runan in series, will the three cities of Haoyang, Pingyu, and Nanton become enclaves, or will you Shenyang, Shangcai, Xincai, and Liyang become enclaves, then maybe!
