The last three kingdoms

Chapter 265 Battle Luo City
After dealing with the rebellion, Liu Chan set off under the escort of the Yulin Army, and all civil and military officials also went south with him. Liu Yin was left to deal with the aftermath of Chengdu.

The mass migration involving several 10 people is by no means a trivial matter. Even in the Taiping era, it was an extremely huge project. However, the enemy army was overwhelming and there was not much time left for Liu Yin to deal with it calmly. Time was tight. The task was heavy, so extraordinary measures had to be taken.

In later generations, Liu Yin hated the overlord's deeds of forced demolitions the most. Those high-ranking people in power, regardless of the life and death of the common people, forcibly expropriated and demolished, and did many things that angered people.

But now, Liu Yin also has to play such a role. Not every ordinary person is willing to abandon their homes and jobs and go away. Many people would rather live in their humble houses and wait for their unknown fate.

For these "nail households", Liu Yin was also very troubled. He sent people to persuade them to no effect, and those people were unwilling to leave Chengdu.

In the end, Zhang Le got impatient and started a violent demolition, demolishing all the houses of those "nail households". In the official fight, the people whose houses were demolished just swallowed their fallen teeth, and were forced to join the army that moved south.

In addition to personnel, there are many things that need to be relocated, such as many official workshops including the third workshop, as well as Liu Yin's own gunpowder workshop, a granary for stacking grain, a warehouse for storing raw silk, There are also money warehouses, iron warehouses, salt warehouses, etc. These strategic materials cannot fall into the hands of Wei and Wu, but to transport these things away requires a lot of vehicles, not only horse-drawn carts, but also ox carts and donkey carts. Counting all of them, they cannot solve such a huge transportation volume.

Liu Yin can't change trains and cars, and the only thing he can rely on is these horse-drawn carts and ox carts. Due to the limited transportation capacity, it is destined to be impossible to transport all these materials to Nanzhong.Liu Yin had no choice but to adopt a compromise method, picking up important luck, picking up valuable luck, and lesser things, burying what should be buried, and discarding what should be discarded.

Through resolute means, after three days and three nights of Luocheng rushing luck, everything that can be taken away has been taken away, and what cannot be taken away can only be thrown away. The once prosperous Chengdu has completely become a city. empty city.

Liu Yin's attention is not only on Chengdu, but also on Luocheng. He knows very well that it is almost unrealistic to expect Guan Yi's 3000 troops to defend Luocheng. The combined army of Wei and Wu is 15. Guan Yi's men were fifty times that of horses, such a disparity in comparison, unless Guan Yi was equipped with tanks and cannons, otherwise it would be wishful thinking to defend Luocheng.

Liu Yin's only hope was to hold back Wei Wu's army for a few more days and buy time for Chengdu's retreat. From the looks of it, Guan Yi had accomplished the task brilliantly.

The troops from Soochow were the first to arrive at Luo County.

Lu Kang was determined to win against Chengdu. After Lord Wu Sun Xiu sent reinforcements, Lu Kang immediately completed the deployment of Fucheng, and arranged the [-] garrison soldiers sent by Lord Wu this time in Fucheng. The field soldiers are a bit inferior, but they are professional defenders of the city, and their experience in defending the city is actually a bit richer than the field soldiers.

Just in case, Lu Kang arranged another [-] troops who had been guarding Fucheng to stay there and cooperate with the new soldiers to defend Fucheng.

The importance of Fucheng is self-evident. Only by defending Fucheng can the food and grass transported from the waterway be transferred to other places. The reason why Lu Kang worked so hard to manage Fucheng is to ensure the smooth flow of grain roads.Otherwise, the tens of thousands of troops attacking in the front, but the food and grass in the back cannot be supplied, wouldn't they be in a desperate situation.

After arranging the matter of defending the city, Lu Kang transferred [-] elite troops out of Fucheng, to the south of the city to join the [-] field army sent by Sun Xiuxin, Lord Wu, to prepare for a surprise attack on Chengdu.

Just when Lu Kang ordered the army, news came that the Wei army had bypassed Wenshan County and attacked Chengdu. It is a good plan to go down to Chengdu, but everyone knows that the Wenshan Road is difficult and dangerous, it is dangerous and long, and the difficulty is no less than that of the Yinping Road, our army is walking the Chenghan Road, how can we fall behind him?"

Lu Kang mobilized his troops immediately, set off from Fucheng, and drove straight all the way to capture Mianzhu.

The garrison in Mianzhu heard that the 7 troops of the Wu army came to kill them, and they knew that they were invincible, so they abandoned the city and left. Lu Kang's soldiers took Mianzhu without bloodshed, which undoubtedly increased Lu Kang's confidence. .

The Wu army marched forward, and in order to capture Chengdu ahead of the Wei army, Lu Kang almost ignored his military strength and went all the way, from Mianzhu to Luo County in two days.

According to the scouting information in advance, there are more defenders in Luo County than in Mianzhu, and all the defenders in Mianzhu retreated to Luo County after retreating. Now there are about 5000 defenders in Luo County, and the defender is Hanshouting Hou Guanyi.

Lu Kang was a little stunned when he heard the news, of course it wasn't because the increase in Luo County's garrison made him a little worried. If such a small army could scare Lu Kang, then Lu Kang would really be underestimated.Lu Kang was a little surprised that he could compete with Guan Yu's descendants here.

Although Guan Yu was defeated by Soochow and lost his life, the people of Jiangdong still admire his great reputation when he guarded Jingzhou. Even when Guan Yu was on the ground in Jingzhou, he was still greatly loved and cherished by the people.

Although Guan Yu is a failed hero, he will always live in the hearts of the people. This somewhat subverts Lu Kang's consistent thinking. It turns out that it is not only the success of the king and the defeat of the enemy that show the true qualities of a hero, who can be praised by all people in the world. Such a hero Difficulty is the real hero.

Now hearing that Guan Yu's grandson, Guan Yi, was stationed in Luo City, Lu Kang had an impulse. Although he did not have the chance to see Guan Gong's demeanor in this life, it would be a good thing to be able to fight against his grandson.

However, these thoughts just flashed through Lu Kang's mind, and now all his thoughts are on how to take Luocheng, so as to open the door to Chengdu in the south.

When they arrived at Luocheng, it was almost dusk, Lu Kang did not order to set up camp, but instead led his army to set up a formation at sunset, preparing to launch an attack.

"Camping in Luo County tonight is also a good choice." Lu Kang smiled confidently.
