Chapter 540

In Pingyang City, the soldiers who went down to inquire about the battle situation came back, in fact, when the Baibo army returned, everyone was already clear about the results, but they always held a trace of luck in their hearts, hoping that this qiē would not come true, but when they asked about the results of the battle out loud and got a positive answer, they had to accept their fate, and they were lost like the walking corpse and murmured, the reinforcements were defeated, and the reinforcements were really defeated.

The county magistrate frowned, sighed deeply, his face was full of worries about the future of Pingyang City, worried, the county magistrate on the side saw it in his eyes, and said with a sad brow: "County Jun, the county guard is defeated, maybe it will return to Hexi, what should we do next." ”

The county Cheng also said worriedly: "Yes, Pingyang City is already short of food and grass, and the troops are insufficient, and everyone was originally counting on reinforcements to come, but now the reinforcements we rely on have been defeated, how should this battle be fought." ”

"What do you mean?" The county monarch's face became gloomy and terrifying, and he said in a strange manner: "The county guard has lost, so Pingyang City doesn't need to be guarded?" ”

"County guard, we didn't mean that, but have you ever thought about it without Pingyang City?" The county magistrate asked rhetorically: "County Monarch, what else is there to defend Pingyang now, do you just watch all the people of a city die in battle?" ”

The county magistrate said bitterly: "County gentleman, you have also seen that the white wave thieves are different from the rebels and even the yellow turban thieves we have encountered before, they know how to fight, how to win a victory, the defeat of the county guard can be seen in general, if we continue to defend the city, what to rely on, why to defend the white wave thieves." To put it mildly, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the county guard today. Pingyang City has long been breached! ”

"Yes, the county guard." The county didn't want to continue to defend the city, it was just to die. Or wait for death, and now the only way is to persuade the county magistrate to abandon Pingyang, so after he reached a consensus with the county magistrate, he kept persuading the county magistrate: "County magistrate, what the county magistrate said is not unreasonable, now that the Baibo army has a great victory, tomorrow's attack must be very fierce, rather than that, it is better to take advantage of the night and withdraw as soon as possible." You can still keep a useful body to involve the White Bo Army! ”

The county monarch was already persuaded for a moment, but he thought of the three thousand cavalry, although the county guard was withdrawn, but Liu Lan still had a glimmer of hope there, maybe, maybe as long as he held on for a day, the Bai Bo army would be forced to retreat It is not known, the county monarch made a decision at the moment, and said firmly: "Dare to bewitch the public again." Kill it! ”

The county gentleman's final decision completely made the two of them lose their faces and dare not mention the withdrawal of the army again.

~~~~~~~~~~

Liu Lan arrived in Baibo Valley on the fifth day.

Since being defeated by Zhang Fei on the first day, Bai Bolei has completely shrunk and has not even moved, although this qiē is in Liu Lan's calculations, it is definitely one of the results he does not want to see, looking at the thick turtle shell of Bai Bolei. Liu Lan didn't even have a way, what should he do, did he have to keep being so deadlocked?

Liu Lan frowned. The news from Pingyang City is not good or bad, so Liu Lan still has time to spend it. But the sergeants can't do dry food every day, so they sent Zhang Zheng to personally go to Jiangyi to urge grain, grass and reinforcements. The reply that can be obtained is that it is being prepared, as long as it is ready, it will be transported as soon as possible, as for the county soldiers that Zhang Zheng talked about, before he opened his mouth, the county order was sloppy and said that there was a step in advance, Zhang Zheng Jiangyi had no gain, and only brought such a message back to reply to Liu Lan.

Liu Lan was worried about the grain and grass, when he heard that Zhang Zheng was back, he was overjoyed and ran to meet him in person, but seeing the blue color of Zhang Zheng's face, Liu Lan knew that he was happy again even if he was stupid, and he didn't blame Zhang Zheng, after all, he was not to blame for this, it was not something that could be done by grinding the county order, and comforted Zhang Zheng with a disappointed face: "Don't take it too seriously, it's hard all the way, let's go and rest first." ”

Zhang Zheng shook his head, with a look of shame: "I have failed Sima's hope for me." He gritted his teeth and said the words of the county order: "He is a pretext, Sima, we had better stop having illusions about Jiangyi and think of another way." ”

Liu Lan groaned, not that he really believed in Jiangyi County, but that he had no way now, if he didn't count on Jiangyi, who else could he count on? Now Liu Lan can't get angry with Jiangyi County, he is very calm, of course, under this calm, Liu Lan really has the urge to kill, Jiangyi County, don't be too happy, pit Lao Tzu, you don't want to think about the consequences, if you really force Lao Tzu to that step, even if you die, Lao Tzu will pull you as a backing first.

Liu Lan was gloomy and didn't react, but Liang Da who didn't want to be on the side scolded loudly: "Nana's, this dog official, I was ordered by Sima to go to him to ask for food and soldiers, but there is still a deadline, saying that it will be prepared within five days, and now it's good, let us wait?" I'll wait for his grandmother, Sima If the dog officer doesn't send food in a few days, let's withdraw the troops, go back to Jiangyi, and see what the dog official has to say. ”

are all angry men, who is not angry or excited? Liang Da was even more in charge, and said: "Sima, there is not enough food and grass, how can this battle be fought, just leave, even if the Son of Heaven is responsible, it will be the Jiangyi County Order that will interfere with it!"

"You can't take this step until you have to." Liu Lan said slowly, no one could see what he was planning: "We have no grievances with the Jiangyi County Commander, but he is so difficult for us, isn't it strange, if I am not mistaken, as soon as we withdraw our troops now, we will be eaten and become deserters. ”

Liu Lan said worriedly: "After all, the county king of Jiangyi only delayed the time of escorting grain and grass, and did not directly say that he would not distribute grain and grass, if we withdraw, the county king of Jiangyi only needs to make an appearance, and it is not impossible to push this qiē on us later, and we only have more than ten days of rations, where can we go at that time?" ”

Sima's words made everyone immediately realize the severity of the problem, and scolded angrily: "Why the hell is this dog-day county gentleman targeting us so much." Wu Ke drew his head knife and shouted: "Sima, I will go to Jiangyi again now, I will not believe that the knife is forced on the head of that dog official, and he will not tell the truth." ”

Liu Lan just pondered for a moment, then nodded silently, and said: "I'm waiting for five days, I'm waiting for five days at most, if there is no news from Jiangyi, then Liang Da, just do what you say." ”

"No!"

Sima finally made up his mind, and although doing so would disrupt his arrangement, he had to let Han Ting know that he and his brother were not lambs to be slaughtered! (To be continued......)
