Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 676 Variables
"What, the food and grass have been burned?"

Han Yi's legs softened and he almost fell to the ground.

The reason why he was able to recruit parts was because he had food.

For food, naturally someone is willing to sell his life to him.

But now the grain and grass have been burned out.

Han Yi's face turned extremely ugly, and he also seemed a little flustered.

"Mr. Zhang please."

Han Yi suddenly remembered Mr. Zhang. After he gave such an order, a guard ran away in a hurry.

Not long after, the guard rushed over pushing a wheelchair. On the wheelchair sat a pale man who looked very thin.

However, under such circumstances, the man's expression was very calm, as if nothing in this world could stop him.

His name is Zhang An, and he used to be a scholar. During the reign of Wu De, he went to Chang'an to rush for the exam, but he accidentally offended the dignitaries of Chang'an, and his legs were broken.

After returning to Jingzhou, he took refuge in Li Hedong, the king of Chu, and became one of Li Hedong's staff.

His ability is not considered the most outstanding, but he is definitely not weak either. Many of Li Dong's strategies and policies were created by him.

For example, some aspects of this rebellion.

And Li Dongming knew that Han Yi was not talented enough, but he still sent him to guard such an important place as Dangyang City. The big reason was that he sent Zhang An to Han Yi. With Zhang An, Han Yi guarded Dangyang City. Yangcheng is not a big problem.

After Zhang An arrived, his face was still pale and he was sweating profusely. He slowly took out a handkerchief and wiped it.

"Mr. Zhang, now that the grain and grass are being burned, what...how can this be done?" With Zhang An, Han Yi did not dare to put on airs. He did not dare to put on airs before, and he does not dare now.

Zhang An's expression was calm, he just thought for a while, and then said: "Soldiers may mutiny if they don't eat for a day, and now we need at least five days to transport grain and grass from Jingzhou, obviously it's too late, and the grain and grass are suddenly burned , It must be someone who did it, I am afraid that Tang Jun's spies have infiltrated into Dangyang City, if as expected, Tang Jun will burn the food and grass, and then encourage the soldiers to mutiny, this situation is difficult to solve."

The four words were difficult to understand, and cold sweat broke out on Han Yi's forehead.

Immediately afterwards, he begged Zhang An again: "Mr. Zhang, this... this is not acceptable, it must be solved, otherwise Dangyang City will be oppressed by Tang Jun."

"Mr. Zhang, you are a capable person, you can find a way."

Han Yi begged anxiously, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of Zhang An's mouth: "Two ways, first, abandon Dangyang City, and lead the troops to Jingzhou, so that although the city is lost, the soldiers and horses can be kept; One way is to surrender."

When Han Yi heard the word "surrender", Han Yi's expression changed suddenly, but immediately after that, he somewhat understood that Zhang An, as an aide of the King of Chu, was very loyal to the King of Chu, and surrendering was basically impossible.

Therefore, the surrender he said must have other meanings. As for abandoning the city and going to Jingzhou, Han Yi will not do it unless it is absolutely necessary. There are many people around King Chu. If he suddenly abandons the city, even if If the king of Chu didn't kill him, he might not reuse him in the future.

Moreover, when Yangcheng was his territory, he never wanted to abandon it.

"Mr. Zhang said surrender, but is it a false surrender?"

"Soon, the lieutenant generals will want to surrender to the Tang army, we might as well follow along..."
-
Rebel camp.

The food and grass were burned. At the beginning, these rebels didn't think there was anything, thinking that their generals would replenish the food and grass soon.

However, I don't know when it started, a speech actually spread in the army.

That is, they have no food and grass, even if they have, they have to be transported from Jingzhou, and the time is five days.

In other words, it is very likely that they will not be able to eat for five days.

If you don't have food for five days, you can only wait for death.

Uneasy, uneasy, all the soldiers were very uneasy.

At the same time, outside Dangyang City, the soldiers and horses led by Qin Tian were in a different situation.

"Master Hou, last night, when the city of Dangyang was on fire, I don't know what happened."

People in the city can't get out, so the news can't be conveyed, but there is a fire in the city, but everyone can see it.

Hearing this news, Qin Tian's expression moved slightly, and he asked, "Which direction is the fire?"

"The direction of the rebel camp."

Hearing that the fire was lit from the direction of the rebel camp, Qin Tian stood up suddenly and said, "Luo Huang must have done this, he set fire to the enemy camp, no, no, he should have burned it down." The enemy's food and grass, after all, all the enemy has to win over so many parts is because of the food and grass, Luo Huang did a good job, and found the key to the problem at once."

Qin Tian walked back and forth in the large tent in the army, he was a little excited, this Luo Huang was indeed available.

After walking back and forth like this for a few times, Qin Tian immediately ordered: "There is not enough food and grass in the city, and the rebels are bound to be tempted. Pass on the order and order people to spread the news outside Dangyang City. As long as they are willing to surrender, my Tang army will not blame the past. The food is full."

This is the best time to induce the enemy to surrender, and he believes that Luo Huang in the city must especially want him to do so. After all, if Tang Jun does not express his opinion, it is hard to say whether the soldiers in the city really dare to surrender.

Qin Tian's order was issued, and soon Tang Jun shouted outside Dangyang City. After hearing this, the rebels in the city became more and more excited.

The atmosphere in the rebel camp was a bit dignified and a bit wrong, as if there was a possibility of mutiny at any time.

And at this moment, Han Yi appeared, and after he appeared, all the captains and others ran over.

"General, our food and grass have been burned. What should we do next? The soldiers are a little uneasy. If we don't handle it properly, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Everyone, this general has already decided to feign surrender. We want to snatch the food back from the Tang family, and we also want to destroy this Tang army and avenge our revenge."

Hearing the false surrender, everyone's expressions were slightly condensed. They were still trapped in the madness of the Mad Demon Army before, and they went out of the city to fight Tang Jun again, which really made them a little uneasy.

"General, this... are we sure we can win?"

"Of course we are sure to win. As long as we catch them by surprise, there is no problem in killing them."

Speaking of this, Han Yi suddenly said again: "We have droughts and locust plagues here, and the people are destitute and homeless. But at that time, they didn't care about us where the court was. Should we really surrender to them? No, we have to take up arms to resist, we have to save ourselves, do you understand?"

Many officers and soldiers in the trilogy are very ignorant. They have been kept in the dark for a long time. They don't know why, when they are in such a difficult time, the imperial court did not help.
