Chapter 307: The Arrival of Zhai Xing
Shao Yun stood on the high slope and directed his soldiers to carry large stones and smash them down the mountain. The attacking Jin army could not form a formation, and they avoided the stones smashed from the mountain.
At this moment, a soldier ran over and said, "General, General Jia He is here to ask for a visit!"
Shao Yun ordered the junior high school to take over his command and quickly reached the tent in the rear. Seeing Jia He standing there, he stepped forward and said, "Why are brothers here? The food and grass were delivered yesterday, and there is no major matter. Keep the important road here. Unless the Jin army has wings, it will never be possible to go to Lu's County!"
Jia He said: "Two days ago, Wang Zhenfu arrived in Lu's County and discussed with the manager that the troops guarding here will be rotated every three days. I am behind you. I will change you three days later and I will tell you."
Shao Yun smiled and said, "I am condescending, it is difficult for the Jin army to make a step forward, so why do you have to rotate!"
Jia He said: "The ruler gave this command, we will act according to the order. If the Jin army attacked for a few days, they will definitely find a way to act carefully."
Shao Yun took Jia He's hand and went to the front of the mountain and said, "Brother, look, this pass is on the top of the mountain. The road below is winding, and the Jin army has to step up to attack step by step. A stone is smashed on the top of the mountain, and a large area of Jin army below will die!"
Jia He said: "I will retreat to Lu from here, and I will know. Okay, you can stay for another three days and change me in three days."
Shao Yun said: "Are you here to grab the credit? Such a good location is a great opportunity to make contributions, so how could I be willing to do it!"
Jia He said helplessly: "What are you saying? If you don't believe it, go back to the county to ask about the strategy!"
Shao Yun naturally knew that Jia He was telling the truth, but he was unwilling to give up. He slapped his palm hard and turned his head.
Under the mountain, Wei Yi watched his soldiers fall into pieces by stones falling from the mountain, and his face was as deep as water. After a long time, he turned around and asked his personal soldiers around him, "Send more people to check, find more guides in the nearby villages to find out if there are any other roads! Zhiniang thief, the defenders are on the top of the mountain, and the road up the mountain is still winding. How can you attack such a place?"
The personal soldier said: "The chief minister, the young man has checked it. There is only one small village within a few miles nearby. The villagers have already escaped and cannot find the guide."
Wei Yi said coldly: "There is only this road from Guozhou to Lu's family. I don't believe it. No one else can go except the army! Send more people out and just bring them to you when you meet someone! I have seen that there are not many defenders on the mountain. As long as dozens of people climb up the mountain, it will not be difficult to capture it!"
The personal soldiers agreed and went quickly.
Wei Yi looked at the top of the mountain at the foot of the mountain, frowned and thought of a solution. This area was full of mountains, and the army could not come in, and his three thousand people could not gather together. Such a steep terrain could hardly be broken. We must find another way to attack the enemy's back. What's more, the road was really difficult to walk, and the food and grass of his three thousand people were difficult to guarantee.
Wu Shu couldn't solve the problem of food and grass for Wei Yi, so he could only find a way. Wei Yi sent nearly a thousand people to arrest Ding Zhuang from the vicinity of Guozhou, causing panic.
In the Lu family county town, Wang Xiaoli walked out of the house and looked at the bright sun in the sky. He asked Cui Qing beside him: "The weather is good, has the snow on the road from Luanchuan to Lu family melted?"
Cui Qing said: "I heard from the people who transported the grain that it started to melt two days ago, and it didn't hinder walking. Today, it has been melted."
Wang Xiaoli breathed out: "This heavy snow is really tormenting. If I hadn't come from Luanchuan on a snowy day, I would have thought that it would have caused such a great difficulty. The most important thing now is that food and grass must be transported in time. Fighting in the mountains requires not much people, and food must not be less."
After saying that, Wang Xiaoli sat down in the pavilion in the yard, looking at the surrounding scenery in a stunning way.
The Lu family is an ideal defense place. It is located in the mountains, with dangerous obstacles in all directions, and it does not require too many troops to defend like an iron barrel. The disadvantages are also obvious. The place is too small and the population is too small. Lu family county alone cannot support many troops.
Wang Xiaoli understood that the key to this battle was not how many people he could send to the front line, but how much grain he could transport to Lushi County. As long as there was enough food and supplies, the Jin army would not be able to capture this place even if they had wings.
Wei Yi, the one who attacked the volcano now, was stationed in Guozhou with a large army. The attack on Volcano Pass was not good, which made Wuzhu hesitate whether to continue to garrison troops in Guozhou to attack the Lu family, or lead the army west to occupy the territory. However, the Jin army was progressing very smoothly, and there was no shortage of more than 10,000 people from Wuzhu, which made him unable to make up his determination to give up Lu family.
Wang Xiaoli rubbed his forehead and felt a split headache.
The Jin army's offensive was still sharp and there was no sign of exhaustion. The Jin army's offensive that he thought was weakening and entered a stalemate stage, which seemed not possible in a short period of time. From the Battle of Fuping to the present, in just over two months, the Jin army swept through thousands of miles and reached Jingyuan.
Sometimes Wang Xiaolie couldn't help but wonder whether his judgment on war was correct?
Sighing, Wang Xiaoli looked up at the surrounding mountains. The mountains in this area are a natural barrier for Dengzhou. If you defend this place, you can ensure the peace of Dengzhou. Only when a safe Dengzhou can you raise a large army as soon as possible. Only with a strong army in your hands can you be considered as confident.
At this moment, a personal soldier quickly stepped in and said with his hands: "Report to the fushi, Yiyangdi fushi has already arrived outside the city!"
After hearing this, Wang Xiaolie stood up and said, "Zhai Zhenfu is here, I should go out of the city to greet you!"
After entering the county government, Li Yanxian was ready. Seeing Wang Xiaoliu coming, he said, "Zhai Zhenfu has arrived outside the city, let's go to greet him!"
Together with Li Yanxian, Wang Xiao hunted out of Lu's County.
Lu is located among the mountains, not as cold as the mountain. Under the sun, it feels warm. In the sunny place on the road, there are grass sprouting, and you can even see a few wild flowers. It is unimaginable that the cold wind on the top of the mountain is urging.
Zhai Xing was wrapped tightly and wore a fur hat on his head. Seeing Wang Xiaoli and Li Yanxian coming, he took off the fur hat and held it in his hand and greeted him. After the talks between the two sides, Zhai Xing said, "After getting off the mountain, I felt like I had arrived in another world. This place is like spring!"
Li Yanxian said: "Lu's county is located in the Luo River Valley, surrounded by mountains, and it is difficult for the cold wind to blow here, so it is naturally warmer."
While talking, the three of them entered the city and sat down in the county government.
After asking about the hard work on Zhai Xing on the road, Li Yanxian said, "When Wang Zhenfu came here, I went to Dong first and invited him to Lushi County to discuss the war. There was no reply. Until yesterday, Dong first replied, saying that he would prevent Luoyang Mengbangxiong from invading and could not come."
Zhai Xing couldn't help but frown: "Meng Bangxiong's troops were recruited recently, and they can be said to be a mob. Dong Xian was not good enough, so he shouldn't take it seriously! Could it be that reinforcements from the Jin army came to Luoyang?"
Li Yanxian said: "Who knows? Li Yanxian has always felt that the place is small and has a lot of disputes with me. This year, he followed Wang Zhenfu to rescue Shanzhou and deliberately occupied Mianchi. Fortunately, Wang Zhenfu's subordinate Shao Ling's army was there, so he did not have a conflict with me. Now he doesn't want to come to Lu's County, so there is nothing strange."
