Chapter 59 Withdraw the ambush (please recommend, please collect)

"Lead a few people to explore the road ahead, and report back immediately when you find any suspicious traces." For some reason, Xu Rong felt a little uneasy in his heart. Maybe it was dark, or Hu Zhen's defeat made him even worse. Be a little more cautious.

As the night became darker and darker, Xu Rong's army set up tents on the spot. The soldiers should eat what they should eat and sleep what they should sleep. It seemed extremely harmonious, but the uneasiness in Xu Rong's heart still did not disappear, which was the acumen of the general.

Xu Rong once led the ambush of Cao Cao when Dong Zhuo defeated Luoyang and moved east to Chang'an. Therefore, he has his own experience in ambush. If he is an opponent, he must ambush here. Even the torch could not see the road ahead. Although this place was very close to Lantian, he still let the soldiers rest on the spot.

"Report, there may be an ambush ahead. When the subordinate was exploring the road ahead, he found that there were many trees ahead, but there were hardly any animal sounds. This is very abnormal." The spies said his judgment.

"Okay, I see, you take a few people to continue exploring the way." Xu Rong said without changing his expression.

According to the reports from the spies, Xu Rong was almost sure that there was indeed an ambush ahead, but he didn't know who was in the ambush, so he could only order his men to strengthen the defense of the barracks.

If it wasn't Xu Rong who marched into Lantian today, but someone else, then most likely they were going to be ambushed. It's just that Zhang Ming was unlucky and met Xu Rong.

After dawn, the news from several spies finally formed a complete message, that is, there is indeed an ambush ahead, and the number of people in ambush should not be small.

"General, there is an ambush ahead, should our army go to Lantian County?" A village general asked this question.

"Why don't you go, tell the soldiers that there is an ambush ahead, and ask all the soldiers to put on armor, bring weapons, and prepare for battle." Yesterday Xu Rong communicated with the auxiliary army in the army. According to the information passed by Jia Xu, At present, there are only 6 troops in the entire Chang'an City, and some of them have to carry food, and some of them have to stay in Chang'an. In addition, some of them died in the capture of Lantian, so even if there is an ambush here, there are no more than [-] at most. Fang should have noticed that they found an ambush, and the effect of the ambush has been greatly reduced at this time, especially during the day.

Therefore, according to Xu Rong's judgment, even if the enemy army still had ambushes, they would not dare to step forward when facing soldiers in armor and holding weapons. His soldiers are a little tired, and the food supply in the army is also a little difficult.

What Xu Rong didn't know, of course, was that last night Lu Bu's people discovered that Xu Rong's spies immediately withdrew all the ambushes. The biggest contribution that can be made, as for the real battle with Xu Rong, let alone whether you can win or not, the battle damage must be very high. The soldiers in Chang'an City can't afford to die, and His Majesty cannot live without an army.

At the foot of Lishan Mountain, Xu Rong's troops walked very cautiously. The spies in front were responsible for exploring the road, the soldiers behind were in charge of defense, and the soldiers in the middle were still looking around. After about an hour, they finally passed Lishan Mountain. The way down is all flat and difficult to set up an ambush, so the opponent's ambush retreated.

When Xu Rong's troops arrived outside Lantian County in the afternoon, what Xu Rong saw was a blaze of flames that shot straight into the sky. He didn't care whether the enemy had set up an ambush under the city, so he quickly led the team into the city and found the granary. Sure enough, the granary caught fire, and he ordered his men to put out the fire quickly, and how much grain could be saved.

Xu Rong remembered that he was Dong Zhuo's subordinate in the past. Dong Zhuo once burned Luoyang, took away everything in Luoyang, and even dug up the graves where the people of Luoyang were buried, just to take away Luoyang's valuable things to the greatest extent.

This fire was undoubtedly set by Zhang Ming. He is different from Dong Zhuo after all. Even though he will take away useful things, he will not massacre the people in Lantian, nor will he dig other people's graves. In the past 3 days, he has Taking away nearly 60 shi of grain, he has completed his goal of attacking Lantian. As for the remaining 40 shi of grain, it is naturally impossible to give it to Dong Zhuo's subordinates for nothing, so he will give them a fire.As for how much food is left after the fire is extinguished, it depends on their luck. As for how much food is left by the people in Lantian, Zhang Ming has already inquired. As the chief of Lantian County, Hu Zhen has already collected almost all up.

In other words, what is left to Xu Rong now is an empty city, with no food, not even a grain truck, a small city with only tens of thousands of people.

Xu Rong was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

At noon, Lu Bu's army had already returned to Lantian County from Lishan, and then he personally told Zhang Ming that the enemy army was about to arrive.

At this time, Zhang Ming was in full swing commanding the imperial army to carry the grain. During the transportation of grain in the past few days, Zhang Ming had become familiar with some of the imperial army around him. He would eat and drink with these imperial army, and even When the time came, he would also go down to carry some food. Of course, this kind of thing quickly spread among the imperial army. As for who spread the word, Zhang Ming didn't care, it was enough to spread the word anyway.

"Do you know, I heard that His Majesty is also carrying food on the front line?" A forbidden soldier who had a little relationship in the palace said during a break.

"Your Majesty, why would you do such a despicable thing? Are you talking nonsense?" Another guard immediately retorted.

"How is it impossible, do you know? I also know some high-ranking people in the palace. I said they said that His Majesty sent troops to attack Lantian County this time for the food in Lantian." Another guard blew up. , he just overheard, how can he have any relationship with the superior.

"But when I was on duty in the palace before, General Lu sent 80 shi of food to the palace at that time. The court is not short of food, right?" Another guard started chirping.

"You don't know that, do you know why His Majesty asked us, the Guards, to carry food? It's because His Majesty wants to train us. What kind of person is Your Majesty, the proud son of heaven, who has grown into an adult at the age of 11. He killed the old traitor Dong Zhuo by himself, and now our Majesty must cultivate power, don't we?" Another imperial guard shouted.

"Don't say it, what you say does make sense." All the guards below agreed.

In the Guards, although they were not very familiar with each other, they got to know each other more and more during the process of transporting food. Men in the army were easy to open up topics.And this time Zhang Ming's actions became more and more outrageous as the Imperial Guards became familiar with each other.

Zhang Ming is happy to accept this situation.
