Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 861

At dawn the next day, Lu Fan assembled his army and marched towards Yichun. Since the army had no food, he didn't worry about burying the pot for cooking.

The soldiers were originally hungry, but last night Lu Fan cooked and ate all the food in the camp in order to stabilize the morale of the army. At this time, the soldiers' stomachs were even bigger, so they were even hungrier after sleeping all night.

There needs to be an explanation for the military suspension of cooking, otherwise the incident like last night will happen again. Lu Fan pushed the crime on Zhou An and others, saying that he had been instigated by Lan Tian and deliberately threw the grain into the river to damage it. killed, but the food they got back was only enough for one meal last night.

The soldiers wanted to eat, so they had to rush to join Zhu Huan. The other party should have some food in store. The most important thing is to recapture Yichun. There are rumors that there is plenty of food in the city.

A lie needs to be covered by countless lies. At this point, Lu Fan has no good solution, he can only cure his head and feet if he has a headache.

Perhaps out of the desire for food, Lu Fan arrived ahead of schedule with tens of thousands of people, but Zhu Huan did not have much food left, so the chef used the little food left to cook porridge with wild vegetables to satisfy his hunger.

The wild vegetables were picked by Zhu Huan, and the rice in the pot was the kind that could be counted, and it only served as a decoration for the pot. The soldiers drank enough water at the end.

After the meal, there was still a gleam of light in the sky. The hungry soldiers took the initiative to go down the river to catch fish. The rare lucky ones did not return to the camp after catching fish. They found a secluded place to cook and eat them. The entire army discipline began to collapse. .

The generals in the army gathered in the main tent, Lu Fan wanted to mobilize everyone before the battle, but Brother Zhu Huan threw out a huge trouble, the second batch of family letters sent from Jianye.

Seeing the dense letters in the basket, Lu Fan felt his scalp tingling, he waved his hand to Lu Shi and said, "Xiu Mu also has Lan Tian's forged family letter? Shi Yi, send it out of the tent and burn it for me, don't let this kind of thing mess up. I have a military heart."

"Shi Yi, wait a minute." Zhu Huan hurriedly reached out to stop him, and clasped his fists with a serious face: "General Ziheng, the general thinks that these family letters should be true. All match up."

Lu Fan was heartbroken and asked back: "Handwriting can be forged, and Xiu Mu took the initiative to introduce rumors. Aren't you afraid that the soldiers will mutiny and cause chaos?"

"Since the matter has already happened, we can't hide it if we want to hide it. The general sent cavalry around Yichun today and found that Xinyu in the rear has also fallen into the enemy's hands. It is estimated that Xingan, Nanchang and other places are all gone." Zhu Huan said with a face Sadly.

Zhu Huan's words fell like a heavy hammer, and the generals in the tent were too shocked to speak. Sun Song ignored Lu Fan again, and he read the letters in the basket. Quan Cong, Song Qian and other generals followed suit.

Seeing that he couldn't stop it anymore, Lu Fan frowned and returned to the seat of honor. He thought what Zhu Huan said just now was correct, and there should be no way to hide the situation now. We can only work together to find a solution. It actually felt a little easier.

"What do we do now?"

Sun Song's hand holding the letter was trembling. He had no idea that the rumors were true and that Jianye had really fallen into the hands of the rebels.

Although I don't know if Sun Quan can take it back with Lu Xun, but according to Zhu Huan's analysis just now, all parts of Yuzhang have fallen, and it has become a luxury for them to return to Jiangdong.

Lu Fan replied solemnly: "We can no longer fight with Lantian. We have to find a way to contact the king first. With our tens of thousands of songs, we have great hopes of driving the traitors out of Jiangdong. In addition, I have no doubts about Jianye." There is suspicion, maybe it is Lan Tian's conspiracy, he deliberately exaggerated the situation in the rear."

"The soldiers were hungry and exhausted, and they had no warships to travel, so they had to fight back one by one. It was really difficult." Liu Dun, the chief secretary, was very pessimistic.

Lu Fan's face was serious, and he said helplessly: "There is no other way now, and we can only take one step at a time. The scouts were unclear before, but Xiu Mu (Zhu Huan) explained the situation in Yichun in detail, except for Luo Tong. Traitors, are there any other defensive forces?"

"I haven't found the right time just now. The last general wants to report to Yichun city defense. Luo Tong's rebel army is not worth mentioning. Lantian's entrapment army is in Yichun at this time. In addition, Ding Gong (Lv Dai)'s school lieutenant Ding Feng also Betrayed." Zhu Huan's face was full of bitterness.

"What did you say?" Lu Fan almost fainted.

"Xiu Mu said that the entrapment army is in Yichun? Didn't they go north to help Guan Yu? Why are they here?" Quan Cong was also very surprised.

"If Ding Feng's rebellion appeared in Yichun, does it mean that Wu Jun also entered Jiaozhou?" Liu Dun grasped another important point, but he dared not draw conclusions at this time.

"The entrapment army is led by Lantian's eldest son, Lanyuan. I also saw the rebel general Ding Feng with my own eyes. It should be that Lantian deliberately gave false news, and then defeated Dai Liang and passed through Luling, so everything makes sense." Zhu Huan Shaking his head slightly.

"Fake news? Impossible." Lu Fan asked himself first, and then said firmly: "We have placed a lot of secret work in Jiaozhou and Jingzhou, and many people have seen the fallen army go north by boat. The soldiers of the country move?"

"Maybe Lan Tian is acting on purpose?" Liu Dun put forward a hypothesis.

"Lan Tian!" Lu Fan gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the table.

Liu Dun followed up with admonitions and said: "The army in the formation is full-armored infantry. It is easy to get tired after defending the city for a long time, but it has no advantage. If we forcibly bypass Yichun, we will be easily harassed, and we can no longer attack on an empty stomach. We still have several Wan Dajun may not have no chance to capture the city, but they just came in a hurry and did not prepare siege equipment, so they can try to scare the defenders."

"Scared? Could it be that Mr. has forgotten Lan Ji? The second son is still so brave, and the eldest son who commanded the fallen army may be even worse," Quan Cong reminded.

Liu Dun squeezed his mottled beard and shook his head, "I have a different opinion. The reason why Lantian handed over the army to the eldest son is that his martial arts may be relatively weak, and the army should be used to enhance his courage. Force and courage often have the same value. In connection with this, the old man predicts that Lanyuan's martial arts skills are poor, and tomorrow our army will come to the border, try to intimidate the defenders."

"Mr. Ziren's analysis is probably not right. How can it be concluded that Lanyuan has a record of destroying the country in fifteen days?" Zhu Huan shook his head.

Liu Dun chuckled and said, "It is rumored that the people in Linyi are as short as black monkeys. They don't even have clothes, shoes and socks. How can they defeat the full-armored army? It's Gao Shun's credit for destroying the country in fifteen days. What can Lanyuan do? Is it the record of beheading generals? That war should have been deliberately arranged by Lan Tian, ​​in order to win his son's reputation."

"Uh"

Zhu Huanxin said that you, a civil servant, actually commented on the bravery of generals, isn't this a layman commanding an expert?When he was about to continue to refute, he was interrupted by Lu Fan who was on the main seat.

Lu Fan waved his hand and said solemnly: "The situation is critical now. Let's treat dead horses as living horses. The generals will keep the battalions safe tonight. Tomorrow, the whole army will go to Yichun. If you can scare Lan Yuan away, you can go straight to the hospital." The city eats meat and drinks, and if the younger generation resists stubbornly, they can only enter the city and eat meat and drink, at that time each depends on his ability."

"Wei." Everyone echoed in unison.
