Zhu Nao

Shizhou.

Wang Zhan anxiously walked back and forth in the room, and went to the door to have a look after a while, but the messenger never came back.

After an unknown amount of time, hurried footsteps came from the yard.Wang Zhan's heart trembled, he was nervous and looking forward to it, he took a few deep breaths, and hurried to the door to greet him.The one who ran over was indeed a spy.

Wang Zhan asked anxiously: "How is the battle? Has the siege been cleared?"

The spy said with a sad face, "General, the army we sent was ambushed by the Shu army, and the whole army was wiped out."

"What?!" Wang Zhan didn't catch his breath and almost passed out.His guards rushed forward to support him.

Wang Zhan said anxiously: "How could it be...how could it be!"

The spy knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.

After a while, Wang Zhan asked tremblingly, "What about Huang Dongxuan and the others? How's the situation?"

The messenger said: "The Shu army has been surrounding them and not fighting them. General Huang's department is still surviving."

Wang Zhan only felt numbness in his hands and feet, dizziness and weakness in his whole body.If he hadn't been supported by the guards, he might have slipped to the ground.

It has been ten days since the mouth of Lou Valley was captured by the Shu army descended from heaven, and he was cut off from Huang Dongxuan's army.Before that, he had always had illusions, hoping that the number of the Shu army would not be large, and all this was just an accident and coincidence.However, in the past ten days, the information has been continuously sent in, and the number and strategy of the Shu army are far beyond his imagination. He finally realized that everything was his wishful thinking.Huang Dongxuan was right, they fell into the trap of the Shu Army.

Today is the third time he has sent troops to attack Loushan in the past ten days, and he has used all the troops he can use, trying to tear a hole in the defense line of the Shu army and rescue the besieged Huang Dongxuan.However, this is also the worst end of the three rescues.

completely annihilated……

It wasn't until this moment that Wang Zhan finally understood the intention of the Shu army: the Shu army was encircling the point to fight for reinforcements!

Huang Dongxuan, who was already besieged, didn't need to bother to exterminate him at all. He lacked food, grass and supplies. As long as he was besieged for a long time, he would naturally be unable to bear it.And it was impossible for him not to send troops to rescue Huang Dongxuan, so the Shu army just surrounded him leisurely, but this side kept a close eye on his rescue operation, set up an ambush in advance, and then successfully defeated the reinforcements he sent.

For this sake, Wang Zhan no longer has the ability to rescue Huang Dongxuan for the fourth time.Not to mention sending troops to rescue, his remaining troops can't even defend Shizhou City.If the Shu army sends troops to attack Shizhou now, it will not take much effort to regain the lost land.

So far, Changsha Mansion's plan to enter Shu Mansion has completely failed.

The guards helped Wang Zhan to sit on a chair, and one of them said cautiously: "General, do you want to send someone back to deliver a letter to the governor, asking for reinforcements?"

The news of Huang Dongxuan's siege has not been reported to Sun Xiang yet.One is that the mountains are high and the road is far away, and it takes several days to send someone to send a letter back and forth; the other is that Wang Zhan had fantasies before, and he was afraid that Sun Xiang would blame him if he found out about this matter, so he thought that as long as he successfully got Huang Dongxuan If they are rescued, this matter can be resolved satisfactorily.

But at this point, Huang Dongxuan can't be rescued no matter what, and he himself has suffered a lot, so it's impossible to hide it any more.

Wang Zhan buried his face in his palms dejectedly.In just a few days, he has been haggard as if he had aged ten years.

After a while, he sadly ordered the guards: "Go and call all my staff, I have something to discuss with them."

……

Near Loushan.

Huang Dongxuan stood on the soil slope and looked forward. After waiting for a long time, the area around the valley was still peaceful.He had expected this result and couldn't help but sighed.

Not long after, the spies came to report: "General, I heard that the reinforcements sent by General Wang were ambushed by the Shu army. The whole army has been wiped out..."

Huang Dongxuan was not surprised, he sneered self-deprecatingly, and said: "It's good to go out to fight for aid." He shook his head, and said: "Okay, let's withdraw the troops."

The messenger hurriedly ran to the assembled army, and he himself turned around and walked down the slope.

Two days ago, he received news that Wang Zhan would attack Loushan again, and asked him to cooperate to break the siege and reunite the two armies smoothly.He knew at that time that the possibility of success of this plan was extremely small.The Shu Army has set up such a game, how can they allow them to break it so easily?It's a pity that he couldn't dissuade Wang Zhan, and finally let the reinforcements end in annihilation.

He led the troops back to the station, and the quartermaster ran to him in disgrace and reported another bad news: "General, when the army was away, we were robbed by the defenders of Yunyang! They robbed us of a lot of food and grass! "

"What?!" Huang Dongxuan's heart tightened suddenly.Now they are surrounded, and the most troublesome problem is the lack of food and grass.Unexpectedly, the defenders of Yunyang were so cunning that they took advantage of the fire to loot when their army was leaving the nest!

The officers under Huang Dongxuan were also furious when they heard the news, and they all suggested: "General, why don't we send troops to conquer Yunyang immediately! Kill those bastards and grab the food back!"

Huang Dongxuan rubbed the space between his brows, noncommittal about this idea: "Even if you snatch it back, what's the point of supporting it for another three or five days."

Although Yunyang was surrounded by them, they were now surrounded by the Shu army. Wang Zhan failed to rescue them three times, and the possibility of them being rescued was extremely slim.For this sake, Huang Dongxuan already had to consider some other things.If they go to fight Yunyang now, even if they win, it will only increase sacrifices in vain.Although I can breathe out a bad breath... it is only a temporary breath, but it is even more detrimental to them...

Huang Dongxuan walked into the tent in annoyance, and several trusted officers followed him, looking at each other.

After entering the tent, someone said: "Brother, that idiot Wang Zhan brought us to this situation, and now the reinforcements have been defeated by the Shu army. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to return to Changsha Mansion..."

Another person answered cautiously: "Brother, has it ever occurred to us that we might be able to take refuge in the Shu Mansion...?"

The tent suddenly fell silent, and everyone held their breaths waiting for Huang Dongxuan's reaction.They have all followed Huang Dongxuan through life and death for many years, from water thieves to military officers, they don't have much affection for Jiangling Mansion or Changsha Mansion, and they are only loyal to Huang Dongxuan.Now that they are in this situation, Sun Xiang and Wang Zhan are all to blame!

Huang Dongxuan was silent.

After a while, he said slowly, "I don't know what Zhu Nao will do to us."

To be honest, before this battle, Sun Xiang treated him well, and Sun Xiang satisfied him with most of what he wanted.Originally, he was willing to repay Sun Xiang.It's just that he didn't expect that Sun Xiang would become so determined and chilling when a war broke out.

And even if he goes to submit to Zhu Nao now, it is completely different from the situation when he went to submit to Sun Xiang at the beginning-Sun Xiang begged him to go, and he had many freedoms and rights.But now, he surrendered to the Shu army, which can only be called surrender.Due to his helplessness, he naturally has no right to bargain.He really didn't like this feeling.

He doesn't want to change hands again and again if he can.If he changes hands, he will definitely be suspected, and Zhu Nao will definitely take away his military power.And the brothers who followed him finally adapted to the environment of Changsha Mansion, and were forced to adapt to the environment of Shu Mansion again.Some soldiers and their families stayed in Changsha Mansion. Once they defected to the enemy, the fate of those family members might not be good.

Seeing that he hesitated, everyone immediately stopped mentioning it.

Someone immediately changed his tune: "We all listen to Big Brother! As long as Big Brother gives orders, we will follow Big Brother to fight out!"

Huang Dongxuan still didn't say anything.kill out?Whether it is the number, morale, familiarity with the terrain, or even the preparations made in advance, the Shu army is better than him in everything.Forcibly breaking through, he can't see any chance of winning, it's just a fight between eggs and stones.

He rubbed his face, cursed secretly a few times, and finally made up his mind, saying: "Wait a few more days and see... Now that ten days have passed, Mr. Sun should have received the battle report. If he immediately sends With reinforcements coming to support, there may be a turning point in this matter.”

Since he said that, everyone stopped talking and hurried out to appease the soldiers.

=====

Jun Nao sat in the room and listened to the report of the battle from the envoys who had returned from the front.When he heard the news about Yunyang, he was quite surprised: "Brother Lingcha?"

The envoy hurriedly said: "Yes. Han Fengxian was very unpopular when he was in Shizhou. I heard that his deputy envoy, Lingcha, was loved by the officers and soldiers. When the officers and soldiers retreated from Shizhou to Yunyang, it was this person who gathered the officers and soldiers together , stationed in Yunyang, so that Yunyang did not fall immediately."

Zhu Nao recalled the young man who had been silently following Han Fengxian all this time, and said, "When Yunyang gets out of the siege, let him come to see me."

The officials on the side hurriedly took notes.

Zhu Nao said again: "Where's Huang Dongxuan? What's his reaction?"

The envoy said: "On the first day after our army captured the entrance of Loushan Valley, Huang Dongxuan tried to lead his troops to break out of the siege once, but failed. After that, he didn't make any moves."

Zhu Nao asked, "Did he send someone to ask for surrender?"

The envoy shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it. Is Fu Yin going to send someone to talk about surrendering him?"

Huang Dongxuan didn't make another attempt to break through, and he probably knew that he had no hope of breaking through.The longer the time dragged on, the more hopeless he became.In this case, it shouldn't be difficult to surrender him.

But Zhu Nao said: "No hurry. Let the army surround him and don't let him run away. When he comes to ask for surrender, he will report to me immediately."

Messenger: "..." Who else is more reserved at a time like this?

He hurriedly said: "Yes, Fu Yin."

Zhu Nao waved his hand and said, "Go."

=====

Three days later.

Huang Dongxuan was chewing wild vegetables when the curtain was lifted, and a soldier walked in carrying a wild goose.

"Brother," said the soldier, "the hunters brought back a big bird today, and roasted it for the elder brother?"

Huang Dongxuan glanced at the wild goose, and couldn't help swallowing a big mouthful of saliva.He shook his head and said, "I don't want to eat it. Take it to stew and give it to the wounded."

The soldier was taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded: "Brother has not been touched by oil and water for several days, I am afraid that if this continues..."

Their food and grass are almost exhausted, and the soldiers have dug out all the edible things within a radius of ten miles in the past few days.I'm afraid I won't even have to eat weeds for the next meal.

Huang Dongxuan turned his face hard, and said impatiently: "I am very strong, don't curse me there! Go, go, do as I say!"

The soldiers had no choice but to go out with the rabbit.

Huang Dongxuan licked his lips dully and continued to eat wild vegetables.

At this moment, the curtain was lifted again, and the spies in charge of reconnaissance and intelligence rushed in panting.

Huang Dongxuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Quickly, what's the news?" Did the reinforcements from Changsha Mansion arrive?

But the spy was full of panic and his face was pale: "Big, big things are not good! Wang, Wang Zhan Xiang, surrendered to the Shu army!"

"what??!!"

With a "click", the bowl in Huang Dongxuan's hand fell to the ground.

He has persisted until now, and that son of a bitch Wang Zhan actually surrendered first? ? ?
