The last three kingdoms

Chapter 781
Liu Yannian was also shot in the back by an arrow. He didn't care about picking the arrow, and chopped off the shaft of the arrow with a single knife. The arrow was still deeply buried in his flesh. Liu Yannian gritted his teeth and rushed out of Baishigou.

Liu Yannian couldn't help but lamented when he saw the remnant soldiers and defeated generals under his command who had survived by chance. Of the 5 troops brought out from Zuoguo City, only a few thousand remained, which was almost the same as the destruction of the entire army. Fortunately, , He finally saved his life, he didn't dare to stay in Ganyang City, he went out of Baishigou, turned north, and fled to Jinyang City dozens of miles away.

For Liu Yannian, no place is safe anymore, and the only way to survive is to escape back to Jinyang. As for the arrow wound on his back, although the pain is unbearable, he has to endure it.

Fu Zhu's tiger cavalry army was the fastest, followed by the Huns, rushed out of Baishigou, and captured Gengyang City.

Ganyang City is a small city with a radius of only a few miles. In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was the town of the Qi clan. The Qi clan was destroyed by the Jin Dynasty, and Wei Xianzi was in charge of the government. The State Governor's Department, Jiangyang County is a township, which belongs to Yuci County, Taiyuan County. From the end of Wei Dynasty to the beginning of Jin Dynasty, Ganyang City has been the western border of Yuci County.

However, although Gengyang City is small, its geographical location is extremely important. Fifty miles to the north is Jinyang City of Bingzhou Prefecture. It can be said that Gengyang City can be called the southern gate of Jinyang. The loss of Gengyang will inevitably shake the whole of Bingzhou.

There were only sporadic garrisons in Ganyang City, and they were unable to resist the attack of the Tiger Cavalry Army at all. Fu Zhu led the Tiger Cavalry Army to take down Ganyang City with such force.

Soon, Liu Yin, Fu Qian, and Luo Xian led the brigade of the Shu army out of Baishigou and arrived at Ganyang City.

The city of Gengyang was too small to accommodate so many troops, so Liu Yin ordered the army to set up camp north of the Baishi River, which was called the Northern Camp.

Liu Yannian was defeated and fled back to Jinyang City, and went to meet Liu Meng, his face was full of shame, and he described the defeat in detail, Liu Meng did not blame him, he said a few words of relief, and ordered the people below to take him to heal his injuries and rest.The arrow left on Liu Yannian's back has not been treated, and the wound has begun to fester and fester. Liu Yannian can be regarded as a tough guy, so injured that he didn't say a word.

Liu Meng's face was gloomy, and his opponent's subordinates said: "Unexpectedly, Liu Yin from Shu came so fiercely. He not only attacked and killed the King of Han in Zuoguo City, but also marched madly all the way. We are less than fifty miles away from Jinyang, do you have any good strategies to retreat from the enemy?"

The generals couldn't help but looked at each other, Liu Yin's ferocity was indeed beyond everyone's expectations, even Liu Yannian, the king of Zuo Dulu, was beaten all over the ground, and the generals of the Huns were secretly weighing in their hearts whether they were Liu Yin or not. Yin's opponents, although these generals of the Xiongnu are usually arrogant, but they really have no effective means to deal with the crisis. Facing Liu Meng's inquiry, all of them are speechless.

Liu Meng snorted heavily, and said: "Usually, I see you all showing off your power, and you don't pay attention to the Han people. Today, a little Liu Yin has made you so afraid, it's really embarrassing!"

All the generals were reprimanded by Liu Meng, and all of them blushed, but Liu Meng's position was there, they neither dared to be angry or speak out, and just accepted it quietly.

At this time, the counselor Chen Haiguang said: "You Xianwang don't have to worry, there is a plan for a lowly position, you can break Liu Yin."

Liu Meng was overjoyed and said, "What's the trick, tell me quickly?"

Chen Haiguang said: "The people of Shu came from afar, and it is extremely difficult to supply food and grass. The Righteous King only needs to fortify the walls and clear the fields, and send all the people on both sides of the Fenshui River back to Jinyang, and burn all the wild valleys in the warehouses. The people of Shu are short of food and grass. In the fast battle, our army has deep trenches and high fortifications. If we refuse to defend and do not fight, we will surely wear down the Shu people within a hundred days. Now that King Zhao has won a series of victories in Hanoi, King Youxian can also invite King Zhao to return to Jinyang If we attack from north to south, we will certainly be able to annihilate Liu Yin in Jiyang."

Liu Meng laughed loudly and said: "Chen Junmou really has a clever plan. This king wants to raise Jinyang's army to fight a decisive battle with them. Listen to Chen Jun's plan. Don't worry about it. Wait for it calmly. There is hope to defeat the enemy."

Chen Haiguang said: "The Youxian King must never go out to fight. Wouldn't this be in the heart of the Shu people? The Shu people come from afar and must seek a quick battle. The Youxian King only needs to stop quietly. Why worry about the Shu enemy not being defeated?"

Liu Meng followed Chen Haiguang's plan and sent all the people from Yangyi, Qixian, Yuci and other counties to Jinyang, and set fire to the city at the same time. Set fire to it, but seeing the land in Jinzhong, thick smoke billowed, flames were blazing, and thousands of people wept, screaming and crying.

The methods of the Huns were extremely cruel. Anyone who was unwilling to move would be punished as collaborating with the enemy and killed. Many people could only swallow their anger and leave their hometowns, leaving the land where they had always lived and lived. It was reduced to a piece of red land, and even a complete house was never found, and there were ruins everywhere, full of weeds.

I also have to say that this method of the Huns is indeed vicious. Although the Shu army traveled eastward and brought a lot of food and supplies, the logistical supply line is too long, which is bound to bring great difficulties to the logistical support of the Shu army. The key to solving this problem is defeating the enemy. Only by capturing more food and grass from the territory controlled by the Huns can the shortage of logistical supplies be effectively resolved.

However, the means of the Huns to fortify the wall and clear the country made the situation facing the Shu army suddenly severe.If the army has no food, it will panic. Any army will never win the victory if it lacks food and grass. Food and grass are one of the fundamental conditions to ensure victory.

The 10,000+ men and horses of the Shu army entered Jinzhong, and the logistics supply line was constantly stretched, which made the logistics supply even worse. It was difficult to transport food for thousands of miles, because the supply line was stretched too long, and the food and grass transported were comparable to those on the road. It was wasted. If counting from Chang'an, passing through military crossings to reach Jinzhong, the distance would definitely be more than a thousand miles. This huge loss made the efficiency of grain and grass sent from Guanzhong to Jinzhong very low.

The most effective solution is to feed on the enemy and get food and grass within the enemy's territory, so that the shortage of food supply for the army can be solved. However, the strategy adopted by the Huns now is to fortify the wall and clear the country, so that the plan of the Shu army to feed on the enemy is completely complete. The ground fell into the air, which made Liu Yin feel a real crisis.

Who offered such a poisonous trick to Liu Meng, he really should be hacked into pieces!

But then again, such a strategy really made the Shu army very embarrassed. If he wanted to solve the bad consequences brought about by this strategy, Liu Yin had to figure out a countermeasure.
