Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 43
[The night attack on the camp inadvertently triggered a refugee riot, and all the enemy troops under Nanzheng City were wiped out. Jia Xu's strategy had an effect beyond imagination. After gathering the remaining troops, you gave the order]

[[-]. If the enemy troops are scattered and fleeing, you should mount your horse to attack them and take advantage of the victory to pursue them. 】

[[-]. Immediately lead the army to block the rice warehouse road so that Liu Yan cannot return to Shu. 】

[[-]. Return to the city to rest and watch the changes. 】

【[-]. Free Simulation】

Out of personal grudges, Xu Jiashu chose the second choice.

He had tolerated Liu Yan for a long time. Since this old guy came all the way to seek death, there was no reason why he couldn't help him.

The so-called blocking of the rice warehouse road is of course not blocking in the physical sense, but only needs to deal with Liu Yan's grain transport team.

These people set out from Mianzhu, eating horse chews along the way, and transported food to the front line of the Yizhou Army through the rugged and difficult Shu Road. The kind-hearted magistrate of Xu County could not see the hardship they endured, so he simply performed a good deed a day and confiscated all the food.

Well, it's just a reasonable labor fee.

Xu Jiashu took the seven young men who had escaped death into the city. After a night of adventure, the six newly promoted chiefs who returned to Nanzheng all expressed that they wanted to go home and rest for a while. Only Yang Ang still didn't look the least bit sleepy. Xu Jiashu asked him to select soldiers, and he went back to his hometown to discuss with Jia Xu.

"!@#￥." Xu Jiashu carefully described what happened last night and drank the remaining wine in his waist. "That's it. I plan to lead the army to block the rice warehouse road and kill the old thief Liu Yan. Here, I wonder what Brother Wenhe thinks?"

Jia Xu's expression was extremely wonderful.

I thought that even if the time, place and people were right, their camp-robbing team would only be able to successfully light a fire. Unexpectedly, the fire in the opponent's camp did not light up much, but it lit the fire of the refugees.

Just by recounting it afterwards, I can feel the power that swept everything.

"It is true that soldiers have no constant power and water has no constant shape."

Jia Xu sighed, feeling deeply that he still had to learn something.

"However," after digesting the battle report, he had some opinions on Xu Jiashu's next plan, "Zimao really wants to kill them all, but it will be very difficult."

If the results of last night's battle weren't so shocking, Jia Xu's true evaluation of this plan would be "idiotic dreams".

Is Liu Yan a fool?

It's possible, but not all of his generals are, especially in the military.

The importance of grain paths cannot be overstated.

Jia Xu was sure that after learning the news, all the enemies who invaded Hanzhong, whether they were the Forbidden Army or the Yizhou soldiers, would return to defend Nanzheng at full speed to prevent the food route from being cut off. There was absolutely no second possibility.

If there was a strong force in Nanzheng City at this time, we could hope that they would gain time to establish defensive positions. Unfortunately, most of the soldiers joined the army less than a year ago and could barely continue to defend the city. It was impossible to go out to fight with the opponent in the city. Unthinkable.

Anyway, if he, Jia Wenhe, were to direct, he would not be able to do this kind of operation.

After listening to this analysis, Xu Jiashu, who was on the sidelines, secretly thought that he still thought too simply - even if the Yizhou soldiers were destroyed, once it came to a life gate like Liangdao, the imperial army would not hesitate to stand with Liu Yan.

But Jia Xu was not around when the option appeared. I can only say that he was caught by the system this time.
The dice had been thrown, and Xu Jiashu could only see what he would do in the simulation.

Just when Xu Jiashu was about to say something to Jia Xu, Liu Ying appeared.

Her Royal Highness the Princess stayed up all night, her clothes and hair were messy, she ran over and hugged him and refused to let go. Xu Jiashu closed his eyes and enjoyed the rare tenderness for a while, then pointed to Jia Xu beside him, "In broad daylight , why do people molest a good boy?"

Liu Ying punched him hard and went to the side to fix his hair with a red face.

As a person who is nearly fifty years old, Jia Xu has no emotions in his heart. He just looks at Xu Jiashu and waits for his answer.

"I have made up my mind, please Wen He to guard this city for me!"

Xu Jiashu put down these words and left in a hurry.

No one knows what Magistrate Xu, who has experienced years of war, is going to do, not even the player who made the choice himself.

The deeds at Nanzheng City quickly spread throughout the Yizhou Army, and the surviving Yan Yan immediately informed Liu Yan of what happened that night.

The clan leader known as the "Emperor of Yizhou" realized on the spot that he was in big trouble.

It's not that he thought he would die in Hanzhong, but after the direct lineage he cultivated was destroyed, the only military force he could rely on was the uncontrollable Forbidden Army. Then would Yizhou and Hanzhong still have the surname Liu in the future?
But in order to regain the food road, it was impossible not to tell them.
The situation was so serious that Liu Yan, who was anxious, had to order the troops who were burning, killing and looting from various places to return to defend Nanzheng.

In order to illustrate the urgency of the matter, he simply told the whole story about the destruction of the remaining troops. However, the details of the incident were slightly processed. He did not explain that the Yizhou soldiers were dispersed by the refugees. He only said that Xu Jiashu's night attack caused the camp to be bombed and his own food supplies to be destroyed. The road may be dangerous.

When the various forbidden armies stopped their independent income-generating activities and rushed to the gate of Nanzheng City, they found that the expected blocking position did not appear. The defenders of Nanzheng were still hiding behind the city wall, and everything was the same as when they left.Seeing this, Liu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

If this were the case, then the matter would be much easier to handle - at worst, all the other places in Hanzhong County would be entrusted to the military leaders would be Yangping Pass, in exchange for the loyalty of the Forbidden Army. Although it hurts, it can be solved in the end.

At this time, the Forbidden Army still had food plundered from various counties, and there was no food shortage crisis in a short period of time.

Under Liu Yan's generous promise, the Forbidden Army, which had already tasted the sweetness, directly attacked the city. Although the casualties were not small, compared with the previous behavior of not working hard, the pressure on the Nanzheng defenders was much heavier. .

One side is the Forbidden Army that has experienced battles for a long time, and the other side is the new army established during the Zhang Lu Rebellion. The gap between the two sides can be imagined.

Liu Ying braved the arrows and stood on the top of the city to hold on to the defenders. In the absence of Magistrate Xu, only she, "Mrs. Xu", could do this.

"They won't last long!"

Liu Yan was overjoyed. He knew Liu Ying, and Liu Ying called him uncle according to his seniority.

"Even women are on the city wall, and the rabble opposite is about to die!"

Liu Yan had already thought about how to deal with this niece who dared to claim to be the queen - the last heir of the late emperor?Isn’t he a perfect match for his son?

When the time comes, I have Gaozu's foundation and Liu Ying's orthodox endorsement. How can he be compared to a waste like Liu Yu who can't even handle foreign races!

The only problem was that he only saw his niece on the city wall, but the little thief who dared to rob the camp did not appear.

Where has he gone?
This question flashed through Liu Yan's mind.

Maybe he died that night, "Emperor Yizhou" said to himself.

Xu Jiashu was heading towards Shu along the Mi Cang Road, behind him were a thousand elites selected by Yang Ang.

The way he blocked the food channel was to block his opponent's lair.

That is, changing homes.

After Jia Xu analyzed the situation clearly that day, Xu Jiashu understood one thing - in the face of the absolute strength gap, blindly defending is a dead end.

The biggest advantage that night attacks bring to him is the time difference.

Returning to defense takes time.

So he didn't even take a moment to rest, and took the initiative with this remaining elite force.

The starting point is Nanzheng, and the goal is Liu Yan's seat of government, Mianzhu.

These 1000 people marched day and night along the narrow and rugged Shu Road. The endless grain transport teams were their supplies. There was inexhaustible food for cattle and horses. What was left to eat was distributed to the fleeing refugees, and they could even be recruited from them. new recruits.

With Liu Yan's help, this army grew larger and larger, heading towards Mianzhu.

The guards in the city are Liu Yan's three sons: the eldest son Liu Fan, the second son Liu Dan, and the youngest son Liu Zhang.

At this time, all the elites in Shu were out, and only the old, weak, sick and disabled were stationed in various places. In addition, refugees continued to move into Hanzhong. Liu Zhang suggested that swords and guns from all places be stored in warehouses and horses released in Nanshan to absorb the population with all their strength.

Prince Liu Fan agreed.

Although his younger brother is a bit cowardly, he has been kind-hearted since he was a child. If his father really has the world, he can rest assured that he will be the Prince of Peace.

"Report, Colonel Yang Ang, a subordinate of General Zhang Ren, wants to see you!"

"Let him in."

Liu Fan didn't take it seriously - he was probably here to rush for food again.

Yang Ang, wearing the Yizhou military uniform he picked up during the night raid, strode up to Liu Fan.

The prince raised his head, with some displeasure on his brows: "General Zhang asked you to come. Uh-"

A moment later, Liu Fan's neck was broken and his head was cut off.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, Mianzhu City fell.
