The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 371
After defeating Shanyue, Zhou Cang ordered the captive Shanyue to be taken into custody first, and then led the army to station in the city.

This time Shanyue retreated, and the captive Ten Thousand Zhou Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief.Although he was exhausted after fighting all night, he was in good spirits at the moment.

He warmly received Zhou Cang, and knowing that Chen Ran had already commanded the army, even if he came behind, the boulder hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground with a bang.

With Chen Ran's current situation, it is obvious that he is determined to eliminate Shanyue, and Zhou Shu is naturally happy to see it succeed.

As the prefect of Yuzhang, Zhou Shu naturally knew a lot about Shanyue's evil deeds. Although he hated Shanyue, he was not strong enough to wipe it out.

Now that Chen Ran came, he had the hope of destroying Shanyue, how could Zhou Shu not like it?

After another half day, Chen Ran led the army and finally arrived at Nanchang City.Because of a bloody battle, although the corpses had been packed up, the blood was still there, and the strong smell of blood was hard to dissipate.

Chen Ran came with the army, Zhou Shu was also very happy, and greeted him very warmly, because of such excitement, all the fatigue was eliminated.

Chen Ran also ordered the army to station outside Nanchang City, and brought Huang Zhong and other generals and Jia Xu into the city to discuss matters.

Enter Nanchang City and come to the government office.

Chen Rangao was the chief, and the others were also next.

Chen Ran glanced lightly, and finally gathered on Zhou Shu, the prefect of Yuzhang, and said: "Prefect Zhou has been an official in Yuzhang County for many years, what do you think of Shanyue?"

Zhou Shu was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled helplessly: "How about Shanyue? It's hard to explain what you said! This Shanyue has been a disaster for Yuzhang for many years, but it is not strong enough to be removed, so Shanyue invades the place from time to time."

Zhou Shi's tone was serious, and he said solemnly: "These Shanyue didn't dare to act recklessly before, but this time they don't know what to do. It was captured by Shanyue, and many of the people were taken away by him, it is really hard to describe!"

There was a bit of bitterness in Zhou Shu's words. Under his rule, such a big event happened, and he felt quite remorseful in his heart.He is also to blame for so many people being taken away.

Hearing this, Chen Ran nodded lightly, even if Zhou Shu didn't need to complain, he still wanted to destroy Shanyue.This time he dispatched so many troops, isn't it just to wipe out Shanyue once and for all?
Moreover, the mountains that Chen Ran mentioned were not just Yuzhang Mountains. If there were such bandits in Yangzhou, how could he be able to do his own thing with peace of mind in the future?
Chen Ran said: "These mountains are indeed getting more and more weird. They dared to directly attack Nanchang City. Fortunately, Nanchang was not captured, otherwise it would be troublesome."

Zhou Shu nodded, cupped his hands and said: "What the envoy said is true, these Shanyue, who used the banner of borrowing food before, took advantage of the opportunity and wanted to subdue them, but they didn't expect them to take action directly, it must have been premeditated. "

"If it weren't for the lowly official who was worried about the mountains and the mountains, I might directly attack Nanchang City, or set up strict defenses, and I'm afraid it would be difficult to persist. These mountain and mountain thieves have plagued Yuzhang for a long time. Now the envoy comes here with the will of God. The humble official begs the envoy to wipe out the Shanyue bandits Return the people of Yuzhang to a peaceful world." Zhou Shu's words were precise, and his face was also slightly moved.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Shu said solemnly: "The envoy wants to conquer Shanyue. This is an act of righteousness for the heavens. Even though we, the people of Yuzhang, live frugally, we should support the envoy and wipe out the thieves in Shanyue."

When Chen Ran heard this, he was silent for a while, then nodded and replied: "I don't know that Shanyue has caused so many disasters, but now that I know it today, I can't let Shanyue go unpunished. Don't worry about Zhou Taishou, I will attack him."

Zhou Shu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty is righteous, and the humble Dai Yuzhang people are very grateful."

Well, the two of them just like this, they talked for a long time, before Chen Ran came back to the right place, he heard, "Is there a map or something for the location of the mountains?"

Zhou Shu nodded quickly, and said: "Shanyue has always been a disaster for Yuzhang. The previous eunuchs have sent people to collect news about Shanyue, draw it on a map, and put it in the city. Let you wait for a while before someone fetches it."

Chen Ranri was thoughtful, nodded lightly and said: "The prefect of Zhou still has other news about Shanyue."

Zhou Shu was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly said: "Nowadays in Shanyue of Yuzhang, one family is headed and the villages are connected. Among them, the leader is named Zhuo Luo, and his humble job suspects that this attack on the city was done by this person."

"So that's how it is." Chen Ran murmured in a low voice, and asked again: "I heard that the mountain was in trouble, and it might be due to lack of food. Have you ever sent someone to investigate this matter?"

Speaking of business, Chen Ran was much more serious, and asked with a majestic face.

Zhou Shu thought for a while and replied: "Before Shanyue borrowed food, he was quite suspicious because of his lowly position. He once sent people to investigate. Shanyue lives in the mountains, the terrain is narrow, and it is also affected by mountain torrents."

"Last year, there was a lot of rain, which caused frequent floods in the mountains and flooded the farmland. The food supply is not enough. Since winter, it is difficult to support it. If Shanyue did not plunder the food accumulated in several cities, I am afraid that it would not be able to support it now. .”

"However, the humble job has also made people calculate. Although these Shanyue robbed a lot of food, but the number of Shanyue is quite large, the food is just a drop in the bucket, and I am afraid it will not last long."

Zhou Shu talked eloquently, with a lot of confidence in his words, which made Chen Ran look sideways. It seems that Zhou Shu, who is like a frail scholar, is quite capable.

Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed the case. If Zhou Shu is just a mediocre person, how can he defend Shanyue from attacking the city, and how can he think of so many things?

Zhou Shu really has its talents, and it is enough to use it after seeing it.

After listening to Zhou Shu's analysis, Chen Ran roughly understood the current situation in his mind.

These mountains look more and more menacing, but they are almost at the end of the mountain.It is conceivable that if it were not for the extreme lack of food, why would they directly attack the county city of Nanchang?

Shanyue hides in the mountains and forests, and fighting against them by virtue of the terrain naturally has its advantages. If Chen Ran sends troops easily, it may be difficult to obtain benefits from Shanyue in the mountains and forests.

Now that the mountains are short of food, and being in the mountains and forests, there are naturally many constraints, this is Chen Ran's opportunity.Chen Ran can't guarantee that there will be any chaos in Shanyue.

But it has to be said that these mountains are short of food, even if they are not in chaos, there will be some problems. If Chen Ran can seize the opportunity, he will definitely be able to achieve miraculous results.

Not long after, an official held a map of Shanyue that he had drawn, put it on Chen Ran's identity desk, and slowly spread it out.
