"That's not necessarily the case." Zhou Buji pushed his chin and said casually: "Go back and tell your brother that you must not cut off the food and grass for Wei Yan. Whether Wei Yan is really rebelling or pretending to be rebelling, he doesn't have enough troops.
In March, the 80,000-strong army was not Wei Yan's. If food and grass were cut off, the 80,000-strong army would really be his. It would be impossible for Wei Yan not to surrender to Jingzhou."
When Huang Yue heard this, even though he was confused, he still vaguely felt that what Zhou Buji said was very reasonable. He didn't care about anything and rushed out of the room immediately.
Huang Yue, who had always been gentle and polite, did not close the door. Zhou Buyi shook his head secretly and looked sideways at Liu Xun. Liu Xun was writing quietly, his face as calm as water. Zhou Buyi couldn't help but asked curiously: "Xiao Xun
Stupid pig, why do you look so in no hurry?"
Liu Xun didn't even raise his head and said: "I know dad will definitely bring good fortune to people and heaven."
Zhou Busuo smiled faintly, sighed again, and said to himself, "I hope it's as you said, sir. I also hope you can survive this test. I'm still waiting to see if you can leave."
How far is it?"
However, Zhou Buyi had some doubts about himself. Ever since Liu Zhang left the army, he had been absent-minded, as if he had no energy to do anything. Was he really worried about Liu Zhang? Then why didn't he feel this way when he conquered Hanzhong?
?
At Yubeli Pass, Cheng Ji, who joined the army, rushed to the back hall to meet Wei Yan urgently. Wei Yan was wiping his sword. When he saw Cheng Ji coming in, he asked without looking up: "General Cheng, what can I do?
?”
Cheng Ji bowed and said: "General, I saw the soldiers packing their weapons and preparing dry food. Are they going south to the police immediately?"
"No, I am going to lead my troops to rob the Jingzhou Army of food and grass." Wei Yan replied calmly.
"Why?" Cheng Ji asked anxiously: "Jingzhou's food and grass are not important. Going south is an order given by Mr. Fa to the police early in the morning. Now Liu Qi's army is going south and our lord is in danger. How can we just sit idly by and ignore it?"
"General Cheng is short-sighted." Wei Yan took the sharply polished broad sword and made a stabbing motion. He said nonchalantly: "The so-called food and grass go first before the troops and horses are moved. Food and grass are the lifeblood of an army. Why does it matter?
?
As the old saying goes, a general will not accept the order of the emperor. If I had not received the news that Jingzhou's military rations were stationed in Dangyang Valley, I would have assisted the public security. But now that I know, I will definitely capture Dangyang Valley.
, as long as the food and fodder of the Jingzhou army are destroyed, no matter how many thousands of his troops are there, they will only be destroyed in ashes."
"Come and see." Wei Yan tried the sword and found it comfortable. He returned the sword to its sheath and pulled Cheng Ji to the sand table. "General Cheng, look, this is Dangyang Valley. We only need to send an elite army to detour to Jingshan Mountain.
After leaving the mouth of Hulu Valley, you can appear behind the Zigui and Yiling armies. Now the number of Jingzhou troops in front of us is less than ours. If the Jingzhou army's food and grass are burned, the Jingzhou army will inevitably be in chaos. Under attack from both front and rear, they will be defeated. We can take advantage of the situation.
Take Nanzheng and cut off Liu Qi’s retreat from the north..."
"General." Cheng Ji finally couldn't help but interrupted Wei Yan, and said eagerly: "If something happens to your lord, what's the use of our victory? We'd better send troops to assist your lord as soon as possible. Cheng Ji is willing to lead 10,000 troops.
The horse is the vanguard.”
Wei Yan turned around seriously, looked at Cheng Ji and said: "Cheng Ji, this general is the main general here. You are just joining the army for a small amount. I am the one who makes the final decision on all matters big and small. Do you want to disobey?"
"General, disobeying Mr. Fa's orders is true disobedience." Cheng Ji responded tit for tat.
"court death."
Wei Yan pulled out his sword and stabbed Cheng Ji in the abdomen.
"You, you..." Cheng Ji's face was filled with astonishment. He stretched out his finger and pointed at Wei Yan tremblingly. Wei Yan violently stirred in Cheng Ji's abdomen several times, pulled out the sword, and blood spurted out. Cheng Ji fell to the ground with his eyes open.
"You are an ignorant person. It is easy for the police to attack but difficult to defend. Our army is weaker than the Jingzhou army. What do you think there is a chance of winning? You are a loyal but brainless fool. If you are left behind, your army will be demoralized."
Wei Yan spat disdainfully at Cheng Ji's body, picked up the sword cleaning cloth, wiped the blood on the sword again, and said to the sword: "My lord, it's not that Wei Yan didn't save you, it's because the chance of winning was too small and he gave up."
This is a great opportunity to defeat the main force in Jingzhou. You said that your path to the world is a path of adventure, and Wei Yan will accompany my lord to take an adventure. If my lord cannot overcome this difficulty, it is not worth following me, Wei Yan."
"Here comes someone." Wei Yan finished wiping his sword and shouted.
A general stepped inside and was stunned for a moment when he saw Cheng Ji's body on the ground. Wei Yan said: "Don't look at it. The mediocre general has mistaken his master and should be killed. Deng Zhi, I was going to lead 10,000 troops to sneak attack the Jingzhou army Dangyang Valley Grain and Grass."
, the defense of the fish belly is left to you. You must be careful. After ten days, regardless of whether you have received news from this general, launch a full-scale attack on the Jingzhou Army in front of us, regardless of casualties. If the Jingzhou Army is defeated, they will be driven to an end.
If you chase them on the road, be sure to kill them all."
"General, isn't this too..."
"In addition, there is also the issue of food and grass. Chengdu is likely to stop supplying us with food and grass. We only have ten days of food and we must persist until the end of the war."
Wei Yan knew what Deng Zhi was worried about. Before Deng Zhi could finish speaking, he interrupted Deng Zhi and inserted his sword into the sand table. In Wei Yan's heart, this was already a decisive battle with the Jingzhou Army, just like a
In the fishing field, Wei Yan is the winning hook, and the bait is Liu Zhang, the lord who is trapped in the dangerous city.
Guiyang County Government Hall.
The atmosphere in the lobby has become aroused when news of the Jiangdong Army arrives. Even someone as rude as Shamoko, who is so powerful, knows that the Sichuan Army has less than 10,000 troops in total and will never be able to defeat the Jiangdong and Jingzhou armies.
If they survive, if they cannot return to Wuxi, all the Sichuan troops on the expedition will have only one result: death in battle.
Months of hardship and several great victories passed through the minds of the generals like a joke, brilliant yet useless, insignificant in the face of desperate circumstances. The great sadness after the great victory was felt by every Sichuan soldier.
The general felt particularly desolate.
"At the beginning, Zhou Buyi mentioned to this officer that given the situation in Yizhou, we should attack Yongliang first and gather the elite soldiers from Shu and Liangzhou's fierce cavalry to march out of Chang'an. However, I refused. I believe that Jingzhou is the most powerful place in the world.
The belly is a land of plenty, and it is also closest to the core of Cao Cao's rule. We should take it first, but it's a pity...
Now it seems that Zhou Buyi was right. There were too many aristocratic families in Jingzhou, and even after we conquered it, we could not win the support of the people. In the end, we ended up in a completely blank land, and we were surrounded on three sides. It is a pity that it has come to this, and I regret it.
It’s too late, Xiao Nao, can you tell us what we should do next?”
After a long silence, Liu Zhang gradually regained his composure. Whether Wei Yan rebelled or not was no longer important to him who was far away in Guiyang. Even if he had murderous intentions against Wei Yan, he would have to meet Wei Yan first. Liu Qi's army
The southward march and Jiangdong Army's westward advance are the imminent difficulties. You should consider how to get rid of the enemy in front of you.
Fazheng was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Facing a dangerous situation, there are only three ways to go, advance, defend, and retreat. Now the Jingzhou Army is going south. If we advance, we cannot defeat the huge Jingzhou Army. If we retreat, we cannot defeat the Jingzhou Army."
Retreating to Wuxi before reaching Wuling, it can be said that there is no way forward and no way back. However, in the defense of Guiyang, facing as many as 90,000 enemy troops attacking from the east and west, we are just waiting to die...but..."
Fazheng hesitated for a while, opened his mouth, and stopped talking.
"It's already this time, what else can't you say?"
