Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 378 No need to endure anymore

Going back in time, Zhang He and Liu Chan fell into a strange confrontation since that day when their invitation to fight failed.

The purpose of the cavalry attack is to catch the opponent off guard, and they will not bring a large amount of food and baggage with them.

But if he retreated to Chencang...he would feel aggrieved.

Secondly, even from a strategic point of view, it is equivalent to putting the Shu army into the pass. When the army enters the pass, he cannot predict how the situation will develop.

If Guanzhong loses because of this, his life will end here.

But it is impossible to attack the city. There is not even a thunderbolt chariot, a charging chariot, or a well gate. It is impossible to attack the city.

Can we still expect these precious cavalrymen to make it now?

So Zhang He, who rushed here with three thousand elites, after scolding and inviting the battle to fail, used his three thousand cavalry directly as infantry and civilian servants...

Not only did he build a simple camp east of the street pavilion, at the exit from Longshang to Guanzhong, he also set up antlers facing the street pavilion.

However, if he wanted to confront Liu Chan, food and grass became a big problem again.

They arrived here with one person and two horses. In order to facilitate their movement, they only carried seven days' rations with the army. They lived frugally and could last for ten days at most.

It was midsummer now, so the war horses could still nibble some grass nearby to deal with emergencies. Although doing so would hurt the horses, there was nothing they could do if the situation was urgent.

People can't just eat grass together, right?

If it was really that bad, there would be no need to fight this battle, and the morale of the army would have collapsed long ago.

Zhang He had never heard of any army that could fight by chewing grass roots and tree bark!

It is absolutely impossible.

Fortunately, I cooked the grain into porridge for more than ten days and managed to survive until the food ran out. The people sent back to adjust the grain from the warehouse finally came back with the grain and the peasants.

Not only did Jingui's cavalry have enough to eat, they were also freed from the rough work of building camps that they were not usually required to do.

Morale, which had been falling continuously, finally started to recover.

Zhang He's actions for more than ten days were seen by the people sent by Liu Chan, but he was not in a hurry to send troops.

Regarding Cao Wei's cavalry, they had a brief confrontation in the East Three Counties and even won, but Liu Chan did not forget that it was due to the bonus of the terrain.

Three thousand cavalry against eight thousand infantry. Even if the Mo Dao team had expanded, Liu Chan would not dare to take the risk and take the initiative.

He came here personally to avoid making the same mistake as Ma Su, although as the war progressed, his appetite had further expanded.

But having grown up studying martial arts with Uncle Zhuge and practicing martial arts with Zhao Yun, he may look reckless when rushing into battle, but he rarely makes any bold moves in strategy.

"Mr. Si... how long are we going to endure it?" There was no one else in the room. After enduring more than ten days of torture, Ding Feng could no longer bear it.

Hu Li, who was in charge of the front-line investigation, was also anxious: "Yes, they dare to humiliate you with words like this every day, Gong Si can't hold his breath..."

After saying that, he took off his iron armor and threw it on the ground. With his back to Liu Chan, he sat down on the ground.

"We brothers can't bear it anymore!"

Liu Chan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he walked over and gave him a gentle kick on the buttocks: "What are you doing? Why are you acting like a little brat? Your son doesn't have such virtues when practicing martial arts with Yinping. Isn't it a shame?"

Hu Li tilted his head and said nothing in anger, but after all, he did not dare to play tricks with Liu Chan seriously.

He turned around with an aggrieved face, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes: "My father-in-law...I hear them yelling and cursing outside the city every day, but my brothers can't kill the thieves to vent their anger for the father-in-law. This is so shameful!"

Liu Chan looked at Hu Li's moist eyes and suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated the emotional stimulation this kind of scolding would have on them.

At the same time, he also underestimated their respect and love for him.

The maximum limit of Hu Li's favorability is only 100, but people's hearts are made of flesh, and it is not something that can be completely quantified.

As time goes by, their feelings, or beliefs, about themselves are still settling every day.

He would behave like this today. It was obvious that he had been emotionally suppressed to the limit. If he suppressed it any more... it might be counterproductive and affect the morale and morale of the army. At this time, Ding Feng walked gently behind Hu Li, gently poked his waist, and said softly: "Okay, Old Hu, don't be too presumptuous!"

Hu Li didn't show any dignity at all. He threw Ding Feng's hand away and knelt on the ground.

"Prince!"

For Liu Chan, taking the time to talk to the Red Star Army officers and soldiers on an equal footing is not only a necessary part of shaping the military spirit, but also gives him some nostalgic feelings about his past life.

For Liu Chan, who traveled alone to this strange and cruel world, this was a rare time to relax.

Speaking like this is the most natural thing for him.

But it was obviously not the case for Hu Li. Although this kind of privilege was something he was proud of throughout his life, he could brag about it to future generations when he got old.

But in fact, no matter how long it took, he was still filled with fear when talking to the prince on an equal footing. Talking like this now was the most relaxing way for him.

"Prince, I, Hu Li, was originally just a bandit in Mount Emei. The world is so big but I have no place to live. I have tried my best to find a good background for my descendants..."

Hu Li's head hit the ground, veins protruded on his forehead, and tears finally fell to the ground from his widened eyes.

"It was the prince who taught me martial arts, taught me how to ride a horse, taught me how to read... He made me live like a human being. He also gave us a family, even worthy of a brother like me..."

He clenched his hands tightly and trembled slightly.

"My boy has a background and hope for the future. I have nothing to worry about anymore."

Hu Li suddenly knocked his head to the ground again: "There are many brothers who are worse off than me. None of us brothers are afraid of death, but we can't stand that someone dares to insult the prince in front of us!

"As long as the prince gives the order, we will leave the city immediately and fight to the death with those sons of bitches! I will not be a human being until I kill Zhang He!"

Hu Li's words also moved Liu Chan.

Can't press any more.

Liu Chan was even touched, not to mention Ding Feng and the money following them.

Qian Duo also followed suit and nodded: "Prince, we are willing to fight to the death with the Wei army!"

Even Ding Feng knelt down along with him. Although he didn't say a word, his intention was already very clear.

"Report—Prince, there is an urgent military situation with the Prime Minister!"

Ok?

"speak."

"Yes, Guo Huai led his army to attack Ji County. His Majesty and the Prime Minister's army captured Shanggui and cut off their retreat. Chixing Colonel Jiang Wei led his army out of the city to pursue and defeat the enemy!

"Guo Huai's army is dead and surrendered. The whole army has been wiped out! Your Majesty is sitting in the rear. He has ordered the Prime Minister to personally assemble the army and lead Red Star Colonel Jiang Wei to come for reinforcements in the near future!"

Liu Chan's eyes immediately lit up.

Shanggui was actually captured? !

The three members of the Red Star Army also raised their heads with joy on their faces: "Prince?"

"Huh..." Looking at their hopeful eyes, Liu Chan exhaled. He was not a fool. Every time he patrolled the city defenses, he could hear yelling and cursing outside the city, and he had already been filled with anger.

Although it was slightly different from his own plan, Li Er didn't know what was going on.

But a big victory at the rear has the same effect.

The time has come, and since everyone can't bear it any longer, how can they bear it so damn hard!

Liu Chan said solemnly: "Generals of the Red Star Army, listen to your orders!"

The three of them clasped their fists in joy: "Here we are!"

"Inform Meng Yan that the whole army will go to bed early after eating and drinking. We will assemble the army at three o'clock tonight and prepare to attack the enemy camp with Gu Ye!" Liu Chan raised the corner of his mouth, "You guys will kill with Gu Ye tonight!"

"Yes, I will obey your orders!"
