Chapter 18 Food Outage Crisis
Chapter 25 Food Shortage Crisis

"Ah! Not good, the Han army is coming, run away!"

There was a thick fog, and Li Jue couldn't see clearly at all, and he couldn't command the army at all. Hearing the chaos ahead, the soldiers on his side screamed again and again, and hurriedly said: "There is a monster fog, retreat quickly!"

The same is true for Zhang Ji's side, the fog is thick, and where there is still fighting, they retreat with their people.

Li Jue and Zhang Ji led their men back to the camp and closed the village for defense.

A large number of soldiers were killed or wounded by the people led by Liu Xie and others. When the fog cleared, corpses were lying on the ground, and flags and weapons were thrown all over the place. Liu Xie ordered people to quickly pack up weapons and usable things Attacked the two-person camp, but retreated to his own camp.

Looking at the messy battlefield with countless dead bodies, the Xiliang Army gasped.

In just one fog, a quarter of the troops were lost, and they were defeated by the emperor, but the Han army did not suffer many casualties. They were really furious.

All of them were pale and weak, and the soldiers below were even more frightened.

"Your Majesty is mighty! The man is mighty!"

Winning more with less, killing the West, and severely injuring Li Jue and Zhang Ji, everyone was extremely excited and couldn't help cheering, the expressions on their faces were brimming with happiness.

Today's victory depends entirely on the Son of Heaven, otherwise it would be good if the party had not been killed without leaving any armor, how could there be victory.

And it was so easy to win.

For the Son of Heaven, everyone was full of awe and admiration at this time.

Because they knew that the emperor spent ten years of his life and the luck of a big man in exchange for it.

An emperor is willing to give his life for them, isn't it worthy of support and admiration?

Even Yang Feng and the others felt a lot of gratitude, they had a little more respect for Liu Xie, and they cared more about Liu Xie's emperor's dignity in speaking and doing things.

"Today's victory was created by all of us. The credit belongs to everyone, especially those soldiers who died in battle. They are worth remembering. I will let people register their names. If one day we all survive , we must treat their families kindly, set up monuments for them, and record their deeds, so that people who come later will know what great things they have done." Liu Xie waved his hand to make everyone quiet, and then said:

"Although we won today, Li Jue and Zhang Ji still have a lot of soldiers and horses, and their numbers are still larger than ours. Because those cavalry have not lost, the crisis has not yet been resolved, and the real victory has not yet been achieved. From now on, we have to fight against the bandits wholeheartedly, and I hope everyone can unite as one."

"Resist the bandit army! Unite as one!"

"Resist the bandit army! Unite as one!"

"Resist the bandit army! Unite as one! Your majesty is mighty, the great man is mighty!"

The high-pitched voices became louder and louder. Although Li Jue and Zhang Ji still had many people, everyone didn't feel that they could not defeat Li Jue and Zhang Ji. Now that they are led by the wise emperor, they will definitely win.

The Han camp was high-spirited and full of fighting spirit, but the morale of Li Jue and Zhang Ji was low. Hearing the emperor encouraging and motivating the Han army over there, they felt very uncomfortable. In private, it quickly spread that Liu Xie traded his life for thick fog According to the legend, I can't help but feel a little scared and apprehensive.

Also a little envious.

Because they know that their chief will not be willing to pay for them.

If there is a war next time, and the emperor loses another ten years of life, and there is a thick fog, they may be completely defeated and killed, and they don't want to fight the emperor anymore.

"Damn it! Today's fog is so strange that our army suffered heavy losses." Li Jue kept complaining.

"The fog came too suddenly. If we hadn't evacuated quickly and defended the camp, we would all have died in the fog. It seems that we can't attack rashly." Zhang Ji felt a little regretful. He would have listened to Jia Xu if he knew it. He didn't even participate in the attack. In the end, he got such a big defeat. It was really an unjust defeat and a shame in life.

Li Jue nodded, but shook his head again: "I won't attack, no, if I don't attack, if I don't kill Yang Feng and others, the emperor will not return to Chang'an with us."

It is impossible to give up the emperor.

It doesn't matter how many people die, as long as the emperor is here, just go to recruit the curtain and rob people.

Zhang Ji said: "Attacking is not allowed, but we can wait until the Son of Heaven has eaten up all the food, and if we faint from hunger, we can ask the Son of Heaven to move the frame back to Chang'an without bloodshed."

Li Jue looked at Zhang Ji in surprise, with a smile on his face: "Well! You have a good idea! The emperor and the others didn't bring much food, so Duan Yan gave some. Now that the Baibo army has come from afar, they must not have brought any food. As for the food, the food will be consumed more quickly now, and they will faint from hunger within a few days, so we just need to keep them from going east.”

Li Jue was also afraid that Liu Xie was releasing the demon fog, so he agreed after thinking about it.

In fact, the situation was even worse than they had expected. Liu Xie really didn’t have much food left, so I gave some to Dong Cheng and the others for their journey. It is estimated that they would run out of food the day after tomorrow. Without food, the entire army would soon lose its combat effectiveness. Eat for up to three days.

After three days, it will collapse without a fight.

"Three days!" Liu Xie paced and thought, and everyone also thought of a way. If they couldn't defeat Li Jue and Zhang Ji in three days and beat them away, they would starve to death.

the next day!Li Jue and Zhang Ji did not attack, and another day later, they still did not attack, but firmly guarded their official road leading east to Luoyang.

"We can't wait any longer! Today we will break through." Liu Xie had no choice but to break through and leave if he really would starve to death here.

Everyone had no objection, if Liu Xie hadn't insisted on staying and confronting Li Jue and Zhang Ji head-on to protect the officials, the empress and the two nobles; People have long wanted to leave.

They didn't really want to help the emperor fight against the Xiliang army, they just wanted to get the emperor's bargaining chip, so they all agreed with this at this time.

Yang Feng asked: "Your Majesty! Shall we go east now?"

"No! We're not going east, we're going west." Liu Xie's words were surprising, but he explained: "Dong Cheng and the others have only been away for three days. Now we are going east. Li Jue and Zhang Ji will definitely chase them. Some cavalry will soon be able to catch up with General Dong Cheng and others.

Let's go west in the opposite direction, firstly, we can stagger with General Dong Cheng and other officials, and secondly, we can go to Duan Yao to get some food, so as to prevent the soldiers from starving and losing their combat effectiveness. "

There is no one left in the area of ​​Luoyang, and the disaster is so desolate that there is no food to be found. At this time, there is already a shortage of food, and it will be even worse if they go east.

Yang Feng and Bai Bo three generals looked at each other, they all praised: "Your Majesty is wise, do everything according to His Majesty's instructions."

It is better not to go east, so that Dong Cheng and those veterans will be farther apart, and they will not be shackled. Moreover, when they go west to Huayin, they can turn north to cross the Yellow River and return to Hedong. Once they pass the Yellow River, That is, the sea is wide and the birds are allowed to fly. Not to mention Li Jue and Zhang Ji, even the princes of the world have nothing to do with them.

With this level of intention, the four of them actively cooperated with Liu Xie's work and handled it according to their intentions.
