Chapter 58 Entering Lantian (please recommend, please collect)

Jia Xu deserved to be the number one poisonous man in the Three Kingdoms, before he heard the news from Hu Zhen, he already guessed the whole story based on Hu Zhen's situation.

"Brother Wenhe, let's discuss specific matters after Hu Zhen comes." Although Zhang Ji felt that what Jia Xu said was reasonable, he didn't believe it. so weak.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Hu Zhen walked in from the door angrily.

"Zhang Ji, what do you mean, you don't want Lao Tzu's army to enter the city, do you still want an alliance?" Hu Zhen stared at Zhang Ji with anger in his eyes.

"Brother Hu Zhen, don't be angry, I didn't do it on purpose, but at this important moment, everything is for the safety of Huayin County." Zhang Ji said kindly.

"For the sake of safety, you think I don't know. You are just worried that Lao Tzu's army will enter Huayin County and the doves will occupy the magpie's nest. Don't worry, Lao Tzu's current army is only a fraction of yours, just to occupy your Huayin The county doesn't even have that strength." Hu Zhen lost his officers and soldiers, and he lost the confidence to speak.

In this battle of Lantian, Hu Zhen had more than 5000 subordinates, but only 5 people fled to Huayin County with him, and 3 of the [-] generals died. So much so that the troops came here by eating soil along the way, but they were not allowed to enter the city after they came to Huayin County, so Hu Zhen was naturally full of anger.

"Brother Hu Zhen, don't hurt your temper, why don't you tell us the specific situation first?" Jia Xu prompted from the side.

It was only then that Hu Zhen noticed that Jia Xu was still here. He was only focused on finding Zhang Ji to settle accounts and forgot about Jia Xu. Now that Jia Xu mentioned this, he started to talk about it.

"In the early morning of the day before yesterday, I was sleeping in the General's Mansion in Lantian, when I suddenly heard noises outside, and learned from the soldiers that Lantian County was attacked by enemy troops, and among them was Lu Bu who attacked the south of the city, with about 2 people. In the north of the city is Huangfusong. There are about 3 people. It should be the entire army of Chang'an City. I heard that Lu Bu had already entered the city, so I immediately fled from the east gate. It took two days and two nights to arrive. Huayin County" Hu Zhen briefly described what happened that day in detail.

"Where's the food?" Jia Xu asked him the most concerned question.

"All the food was left in the city, and the food transportation team was blocked in the city, and nothing was brought out, not even the armor and weapons of the soldiers." Hu Zhen was a little annoyed, this time it was really miserable.

"How much grain is there in the city?" Jia Xu seemed to be very interested in these grains.

"About 100 million shi. My lord searched the city of Chang'an several times before and obtained grain. Some of it was placed in Meiwu, and some of it was placed in Lantian. I will take care of it. Now it seems that the grain is in the hands of the court." Along the way, Hu Zhen already figured out why the imperial court suddenly attacked his city.

"No, according to what you said, Lantian has 100 million shi of grain, and Meiwu is about the same as Lantian, which is also 100 million shi of grain, but the entire Chang'an city has only an army of less than 4 shi, so even if it is free to eat, The food in Guangmeiwu is enough to feed the army of Chang'an City for more than [-] months, why do they need so much food?" Even a smart person like Jia Xu can't figure it out, obviously Chang'an City is not short of food, Why go to Lantian to grab food.

"If my guess is correct, Huangfusong and Lu Bu's troops are transporting food back to Chang'an. They must not have time to carry so much food. In order to protect Chang'an City, they will definitely give up Lantian County, so we can send another A team occupies Lantian County." Jia Xu quickly came up with a strategy.

"Who can take on this important task?" Zhang Ji asked. Naturally, he would not go. As for Hu Zhen, there were only 5000 troops under his command, and if he went, he would die.

"Xu Rong can lead more than [-] people there." Jia Xu has already received news that Xu Rong's troops are about to arrive in Huayin County. If he is allowed to stay in Huayin at this time, it will only further intensify internal conflicts.

"Can more than [-] people take Lantian County?" Hu Zhen couldn't help asking. He still knows Lantian County very well. After all, he has lived there for a long time, and he still knows the city's defenses well. It's just that he was lazy and didn't keep it.

"Don't worry, they won't station troops to guard Lantian. The imperial court only has 6 troops. Although Lantian is a small city, due to its weak defense, it is difficult to defend without 5000 soldiers. If the imperial court sends [-] soldiers If there are more soldiers, the defense force of the entire Chang'an city will be obviously insufficient. At that time, as long as one army cuts off the communication between Chang'an and Lantian, then Chang'an city will become a real trap. It is impossible for an army of only [-] people to defend it. I live in a big city like Chang'an." Jia Xu was right, although Lantian and Chang'an are very close, but only one team can cut off the connection, and it will be easy to attack Chang'an when the time comes.

"I'll write to Xu Rong right now, explaining the reason. He will lead his troops to Lantian County. He must arrive in Lantian early in the morning the day after tomorrow to reduce the amount of food transported by the other party as much as possible." After that, Jia Xu asked Zhang Ji for help. Picked up the pen and ink, and began to write.

"At the same time, Zhang Ji's army invaded Chang'an from the east, and Fan Chou's army invaded Chang'an from the north, forcing Chang'an's troops back first. After all the follow-up troops arrive, we will discuss the matter of attacking Chang'an." After Jia Xu finished speaking, he began to write again.

If Niu Fu hadn't asked Jia Xu to act on his behalf, what Jia Xu said might not have been really listened to. After all, Jia Xu is just an unknown Niu Fu Fujun, and why Niu Fu's words work is mainly because Because this time the alliance to counterattack Chang'an is led by Niu Fu.

At the same time, the three teams of Niu Fu, Li Jue, and Guo Si are rushing to Huayin together. Since these three teams have a large number of people, they are walking relatively slowly. It is estimated that they will arrive in Huayin County tomorrow afternoon. .

Before long, a letter was conveyed to Xu Rong. Xu Rong opened it, read what was written inside, and then let the army walk towards Lantian.

Along the way, Xu Rong's team became more and more exhausted. After all, the team he led had been rushing from Xingyang all night, and the road he traveled was the farthest among all the allied troops. Originally, he could have arrived in Huayin this afternoon. County, ready to take a good rest in the city, never expected that a letter made them travel hundreds of miles longer.

In the evening, Xu Rong saw a mountain in front of him. He was well-informed, so he naturally knew that it was Lishan Mountain. It is said that the Afang Palace built by Qin Shihuang was here. The entire Efang Palace turned into a sea of ​​flames and disappeared.

"Soldiers, rest in place for a while." Xu Rong felt something bad.
