Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 171
As soon as the siege of Xicheng was lifted, Shen Zhong quickly sent someone to send the news to Shangyong. Ma Chao and Wang Ping returned to the west city for a short rest, and sent Meng Da and Xia Houshang to Hanzhong to be imprisoned. Liu Chan meets.

And Xu Huang, who was on the east bank of the Dushui River, also began to withdraw his troops.

The upper reaches of the blocking water are blocked by mountains, which are now in the hands of Liu Chan. Xu Huang can't follow the route of Xia Houshang and Huan Jie, and now he can only go east.

Staring at the map in front of him, he looked a little sad and depressed. Back then, when he walked westward on the mountain road, it was rough and difficult without the Shu army blocking him along the way.

Now these small groups of troops hiding in the mountains and being disturbed are always hanging on themselves. If they walk like this, they may face harassment along the way, but at this time they are obviously unable to move westward, and if they don't withdraw, they will only lose more.

The reason why he delayed for so long was that he wanted to wait for the scouts to report back.

Xu Huang has sent three groups of scouts to inquire about the situation on the withdrawal route, as well as the situation in the rear Fangling, but all of them have disappeared and have not returned yet.

"The scouts I sent out may have been intercepted and killed by the Shu army... The morale of the army is getting lower and lower day by day, so we can't wait any longer."

As for Meng Da who went to the west city, no matter whether he succeeded or failed, it has lost its meaning now.

Even if Xicheng is captured, the Shu army can easily take it back as long as they send reinforcements from Hanzhong.

Meng Da could only ask for more blessings.

Walking out of the camp, Xu Huang said to the soldiers: "I will pass on the order of my general to start cooking and the whole army will withdraw after half an hour after eating."

"Yes."

Xu Huang looked at the lifeless barracks and let out a breath.

I thought it was to help Xia Houshang come to take advantage of the battle, but I didn't expect that the strong winds and waves came, but now he lost troops and generals in these small three counties surrounded by mountains.

And he has even bigger worries, Liu Chan has achieved such a great result, but he has not taken advantage of the situation to advance eastward.

There is only one possibility, he lacks troops and has more than enough to defend the city, but he is not sure to attack and eat his own troops.

It would be fine if he went west to attack Meng Da, but if he thought of his opponent who had used the same trick to lure the enemy, what if Liu Chan went north and sent a large number of troops to Fangling behind him?
Xu Huang frowned deeply when he thought of Fang Ling, who had been unable to find any news.

I'm afraid that it will not be easy for me to get out from here.

……

The Shu army in the mountains is also suffering.

Li Er, Chai Rong, Ding Feng and others took five hundred red star troops and one thousand tribal troops to the east bank to block the water.

The time of smuggling was exactly when Liu Chan launched a battle to lure the enemy.

Cao Jun was only guarding the water-blocking river bank to the east of Shangyong, because only there was a flat land to land on, and there was a road to the east.

The other north and south are mountains, and there is no way to go.

But the road in Xu Huang's eyes is a good road that can be used by grain carts and horses.

However, in the eyes of the bandits, Li Er and others from the mountain tribe, as long as it is not a steep cliff, it is a road...

Surrounding Shangyong's water blockage in the east and south directions, Li Er and others crossed the river south at the same time Liu Chan initiated the action, chose a gentle slope to enter the mountain, and made a detour to the east.

Those who entered the mountain did not say that it was the same as returning home, but they were similar, and they were even more comfortable with the tribal army who was familiar with the local environment as guides.

These tribal troops, although they spent a lot of time learning how to advance and retreat with Ma Chao, and fought in battle, they could understand Li Er's tactics as soon as they heard and taught them.

Isn't this just hunting in the mountains?We are familiar with this job!

The tribal army, who no longer marched in large groups, was more at ease, hunting Cao Jun who dared to leave the camp every day as wild deer, tigers and leopards.

These tribal mountain people are good at dealing with animals such as tigers and leopards with an extremely sensitive sense of smell, and are good at covering their whereabouts and smells, let alone Cao soldiers who are not familiar with mountain warfare.

At first it was the scouts and spies sent by the central government, and then the small team of Cao Bing who went out to patrol the camp.

In the end, Cao Jun raised his vigilance, but you always have to fetch water and go to the toilet, right?
The tribal army still talks about martial arts, mainly because their night vision is also very poor.

The nutrition far exceeds the average level of the same period, and even their prince is so crazy that he will pay attention to the balance of vitamins. The Red Star Army only picks the last dark moment before nightfall and morning.

The strange timing of the sneak attack and the tricky angle made it so outrageous that fetching water for Cao's army later became the most risky activity in the entire army.

Even to go to the toilet, you have to borrow armor first, and then wear a shield to go...

But while the Shu army who entered the mountain happily harassed and harassed, the biggest problem they faced was food.

Due to the landing route and this mode of raid and harassment operations, they could not bring a large amount of food and grass.

Each person only carried dry food that could be used as a minimum for seven days.

Therefore, in addition to taking turns attacking Cao Jun, the others had to spend a lot of time solving the food problem.

Fortunately, as the war progressed, the weather gradually became warmer. These Shu troops who were accustomed to living in the mountains had their own game, mountain delicacies, and even snakes and rats as food supplements, which greatly extended their combat time.

Although it is still impossible to entangle with Cao Jun for a long time, it seems that Cao Jun is about to move first.

The Han army in the mountains, who had detected the movement of Cao Jun, reconnected and reunited through means such as whistles of leaves and imitation of birdsong commonly used by tribesmen.

The confident three got together again, discussing plans to send a little shock to Cao Jun who was about to evacuate, and the little mountain people from the Bashu area...

It's just that they didn't expect that the shock might be a little bigger than they expected.

After Guan Xing stabilized the situation in Fangling with the help of the shadow guards, he left five hundred Han troops under Liu Feng's command and one thousand young men to defend the city. Thousands of 500 people marched westward.

After Liu Chan received the news from Xicheng, he joined Wang Pingjun and Ma Chao's troops who rushed down the waterway to support him, and personally led the army across the river to launch a pursuit.

A big net is being tightened in the mountains between Shangyong and Fangling.

Xu Huang, who was leading the trek with difficulty, still didn't know what a desperate situation he was about to face...

……

Chengdu.

Lao Liu is concentrating on construction, and at the same time paying attention to the situation in Nanzhong. He just waits for those disobedient people to rise up, and then he can send troops to calm down the south and prepare for the next northern expedition.

At present, the economic situation in Jingyi and Yizhou has recovered well after the war. Several families in Yizhou, headed by the Zhang family in Qianwei County, cooperated fully and released their materials to stabilize prices, and at the same time exchanged a large amount of direct hundred coins.

They also used the [-] yuan they got to pay the wine OEM fee of the Zhao Chamber of Commerce, and participated in the wine export business together to share a share. Although the best aged wines are in the hands of the Zhao Chamber of Commerce, the wines that take the upper line and have inflated prices Still brought them considerable benefits.

Other Yizhou local families also actively or passively participated in the process of making the wine business bigger and stronger because of jealous interests. Today, there are many large and small winemaking workshops in the north of Yizhou, and the output is also increasing day by day.

Of course, if we talk about the top products for export, it is still Shu brocade, Shu brocade + wine, which is now almost synonymous with Bashu specialties and plays an irreplaceable role in the composition of Lao Liu Group's income.

The development of Zhuge Liang's Quyuanli went very smoothly, and all the key information was obtained from Liu Chan. The remaining technical problems were just a "simple" process of practice, thinking, and improvement in front of Wolong.

After several improvements and the first batch of finished products were produced, they were first promoted and tested around Chengdu. With the attention of the government and the cooperation of the big families, the promotion work went very smoothly.

Farming and mulberry, water conservancy, economy and people's livelihood are all advancing steadily. After the war, taxes were reduced and people's livelihood was improved. Thanks to the efforts of Fazheng, Liu Ba and other Shangshutai officials, as well as the military adviser Zhuge Liang, Yizhou is thriving. Training time There are fewer and fewer people who are thin and pale.

But Lao Liu never expected that at this moment when everything was going well, there would still be something that disturbed him so much...

He has received two letters.

One was from his son, saying that Shen Dan had colluded with Cao Cao and wanted to surrender the three counties to Cao Cao, and he was going to the three counties to help his brother put down the rebellion.

Not long after, I received a letter from Shen Dan, saying that Liu Feng was dissatisfied with the post-war rewards, took over Shangyong's self-esteem, and persecuted the local family, which was tantamount to rebellion.

Lao Liu suddenly felt that his head was getting bigger.

Needless to say the authenticity of the letter, he naturally believed in his son.

Moreover, he knew exactly who the Shen family brothers were.

He felt that his head was so big because, how could his son cause trouble wherever he went?Before leaving, he swore that he was only going to train soldiers and would never provoke troubles, and as a result, chaos broke out in the three counties of Hanzhong.

Although it seems that it is not his problem, when Lao Liu thought that he might be "forced to sleep and eat hard" for a while, he couldn't calm down...
