Early in the morning, Lin Ze climbed the city wall and subconsciously looked at a mountain.

What surprised him was that at the top of the mountain thirty miles away, a wolf smoke rose up to the sky.

Lin Ze showed a knowing smile on his face, and sighed secretly: Han Xin really didn't disappoint me, and the market will be on pins and needles next week.

Standing aside, Li Xin, who did not know the truth, pointed to the mountain and exclaimed: "Military advisor, it seems that there is a mountain on fire there, and the mountains and forests are burned for no reason, but they will be punished with hard labor." ”

Lin Ze's face turned dark, and he couldn't help but shout: "Shut up, you have been cheering up these days, and the rebels may not be able to resist attacking the city." ”

Li Xin was shocked and said, "Strategist, how do you know?"

Lin Ze sighed slightly and said, "You are still young, you will understand when you grow up." ”

Li Xin......

……

The rebel camp commander was in the tent, and a messenger stood in the middle, looking down at his toes, trying to make his presence feel a little lower.

Sitting in front of the messenger was Zhou Shi, whose face was extremely gloomy, and he only heard Zhou Shi ask in an extremely cold tone: "You mean, a grain transportation team was robbed by the official army?"

The messenger's heart trembled slightly, and he said stubbornly: "Qiyu Marshal, according to the commander's orders, a total of three grain transport teams from Yangzhai to Dachang grain, a few days ago, one of the grain transport teams lost news, my general hurriedly sent someone to search the traces of the grain transport team, and it took a lot of effort to find the surviving companions in the mountains. ”

According to the companion, the officers and soldiers who came from nowhere, several times as many as theirs, attacked them, and killed and wounded 20,000 troops, except for a few who fled, were all wiped out. ”

"When the general of my family learned of this, he immediately sent a small one to deliver a message to the commander. ”

Zhou Shi frowned slightly and said, "Have you ever gotten the whereabouts of the official army?"

The messenger shook his head and said, "My general sent scouts to the scene to check, and the traces of the scene have obviously been cleaned up, and the whereabouts of the officers and soldiers have not been found. ”

Zhou Shi couldn't help frowning and said, "Then the other two grain transportation teams, have they ever been attacked by the official army?"

The messenger shook his head and said, "The other two food convoys have been doing well, and according to the news passed back, they will arrive at the camp tomorrow." ”

Zhou Shi came to the map and circled the place where the grain transport team had an accident, and immediately had a guess that the officers and soldiers who attacked the grain transport team were very likely to be the same as the officers and troops who attacked the Michi army before.

What made him a little puzzled was why the official army only attacked one grain transport team, it stands to reason that with the strength of the official army, it is completely possible to wipe out all three grain transport teams and cut off the source of grain and grass for their own army.

Zhou Shimeng aimed at a location, his face changed greatly, and he blurted out: "Yang Zhai, the official army is eyeing Yang Zhai." ”

After thinking about it, Zhou Shi felt that it was unlikely, there were 100,000 elites left behind in Yangzhai City, how could they be so easily broken by the official army, could it be that the other party of Hangu Pass was not defended?

Compared with holding Hangu Pass, capturing Yangzhai is somewhat insignificant for the official army.

Unless the Hangu Keeper will be able to predict the prophet and know that he will not attack the city.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shi relieved his heart slightly, put this thought behind him, and began to think about how to ensure the escort of grain and grass.

At this time, there was a commotion outside the camp tent: "Dashuai, I want to see Dashuai." ”

The high voice came into Zhou City, which made him frown, and ordered to his guard: "Go and see what happened?"

The guards hurried out after receiving the order, and after half an hour, the guards came to the tent with a man covered in blood.

Zhou Shi felt bad and said, "Who is this?"

The man covered in blood fell to the ground when he heard this, and cried: "The last general, Yang Zhai, the defender of the army, visited the marshal and told the marshal that the official army attacked Yang Zhai City five days ago, and Yang Zhai City was lost. ”

Zhou Shi's face was shocked, he stepped forward and grabbed the person who came, and said sharply: "What did you say? Yangzhai City was lost? Ben Shuai left a whole 100,000 troops in Yangzhai, what did you eat, and you lost the city so easily?"

The person who came looked sad and cried: "Tell the commander, the official army is despicable and shameless, first sent 20,000 troops to wear our army uniforms, pretended to be a grain transport team to deceive the city gate, and then hundreds of thousands of troops entered the city together, taking advantage of our army's surprise to attack the barracks in one fell swoop. ”

"After the officers and men of our army reacted, they bravely killed the enemy and fought bloodily, but they were defeated by the officers and soldiers because they were outnumbered. The general of my family knows that he is ashamed of the marshal, and he is unwilling to live, and he is willing to live and die with Yang Zhai City. After the city was broken, according to the brothers who escaped, the generals fought at the last moment, and did not surrender the officers and soldiers. ”

"Before the general died in battle, he specially told the last general that he must escape with his life and inform the marshal of the news of the destruction of Yangzhai City, so that the marshal can make plans as soon as possible. ”

After speaking, the person kowtowed a few times and said: "Dashuai, before the general of my family died, in addition to being ashamed of his trust in Dashuai, the only thing he was worried about was the family in Chen County. ”

When Zhou Shi learned that Yang Zhai City was broken, he was furious, and when he heard this, he suddenly broke out: "Come on, take him down and lock him up, let him explain the situation in Yang Zhai City clearly, Ben Shuai doesn't want to see him now." ”

The person who came was taken down by the guards with a desperate face.

Zhou Shi only felt like a mess at this moment, Yangzhai City was broken, a large amount of grain and grass hoarded in the city fell into the hands of the official army, and the logistics supply of the front-line army was cut off, how can this battle be fought?

No matter how much the grain and grass in the camp are controlled, it will last for a month at most, and it is simply unrealistic to continue the confrontation, so there are only two choices in front of Zhou Shi:

First, forcibly attack Hangu Pass, as long as Hangu Pass is captured within a month, and the grain and grass in the pass are obtained, the army can even further advance to Chang'an, so that the crisis of Yangzhai City can be solved.

Second, while there is still grain and grass, immediately withdraw from the army, return to Weidi, re-collect grain and grass, feed the army, and fight again in the coming year.

These two choices are not good choices for Zhou Shi.

Choose the first one, once you can't capture Hangu Pass before the food runs out, then what awaits a million troops will be a catastrophe.

If he chooses the second one, will the officials and soldiers let him leave safely? If he chases and kills him, I don't know how many percent of the million-strong army can return to Wei Land safely.

Lin Ze's trick made Zhou Shi fall into a dilemma all of a sudden.

After thinking carefully for a long time, Zhou Shifang gritted his teeth and made up his mind: to attack Hangu Pass with all his strength for ten days, and if there is no result, a part of the army will be left behind, so as to ensure that the main army returns to Wei land safely.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shi turned his head to look at the garrison of the Three Kingdoms Army of Zhao Qichu, a trace of ruthlessness appeared on his face, and he secretly thought of a plan.
