In the camp, Xu Huang asked Guan Hai, "When will our army's grain and grass arrive?" ”

Guan Hai thought for a moment and said, "According to the distance, you can arrive here in three days." ”

Han Xian glanced at Xu Huang, and stopped talking a little. Seeing this, Xu Huang immediately said: "General Han has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Han Xian took a deep breath, got up and said, "General Xu is camping here, does he want to wait until the food in Jiguan is exhausted, and then I will go to attack the city?" ”

Xu Huang nodded slightly, and said: "Kei Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if we forcibly attack the city, I am afraid that our army will also suffer heavy losses." However, there is not much food and grass in the city, as long as our army waits for a while longer, when the food in the city is exhausted, we will be able to win the battle. ”

Han Xian shook his head and said with some excitement: "This plan is certainly a foolproof strategy, but has the general ever thought that the lord will divide the army into four routes to seize the land of the four passes this time. ”

"If the rest of the armies can quickly break through the city, but we are here for a long time, what will others think of us?"

"Now Wuguan has been broken by General Gao Shun, according to the distance, the place of the four passes is in addition to Wuguan, that is, Kei Pass is the closest to Pusaka."

Speaking of this, Han Xian stopped his mouth, he knew that it was better not to say some words too clearly.

However, the implication of his words is very clear.

Four-way people, Gao Shun's trap camp all have war horses. In addition, Wuguan is the closest to Pusaka, so it is nothing for Gao Shun to win the first credit.

However, the rest of the three roads were all mixed in foot and horse, and according to the distance, their soldiers and horses should be the first to come to the city.

Although several people and horses were all under Chen Xu's command, they were sent out by Chen Xu respectively, and they did not let several generals compete for merit in it.

If Xu Huang's group of men and horses, the speed of conquering the city will lag behind the other soldiers. It is difficult to ensure that these generals, who command the army, will not be despised by the rest of the generals.

What's more, there are only 1,500 men and horses in Keiguan, and the number of defenders in the city is also the smallest among several levels.

In this case, there is no reason for them to lag behind the rest of the people.

Guan Hai didn't speak, but his expression obviously recognized Han Xian's words very much. Fortunately, through the matter of Bai Bogu, he also knew that Xu Huang was extraordinary.

Therefore, Guan Hai did not explicitly oppose Xu Huang.

Frowning and thinking for a while, Xu Huang said: "Jiguan is extremely steep, if you forcibly attack the city, you will definitely suffer heavy casualties. ”

"We are all generals under the lord's command, how can we ignore the lives of our sons and daughters because of the battle of will?"

"I have already made up my mind about breaking the Kei Pass, and General Han will not say anything else."

Han Xian was unhappy in his heart, but because Xu Huang was the main general, he forcibly suppressed his anger, and he secretly thought in his heart: "Could it be that the battle of Baibo Valley has made Xu Huang frightened?" ”

"How can leading troops to fight so cringefully and cringe, how can they make great achievements?"

……

On the official road, five hundred county soldiers and some people escorted the grain and grass, and slowly drove towards the station of Shaoting Xu Huangjun.

Due to the amnesty decree issued by the imperial court, those bandits and rogues who wandered all over the country also accepted Zhao'an for the grain and fields distributed by the imperial court.

Especially in Hedong, it was the Bingzhou army that was the first to conquer the county seat.

Whether it is the strong deterrent power of the state army or Hao Zhao's behavior in Yong'an, the current law and order in Hedong County has become extremely good.

Even if there were a few bandits who were unwilling to surrender, they were exterminated by the local officials who jointly surrendered to the bandits.

Therefore, along the way, the grain convoy was not attacked.

The official who escorted the grain and grass asked the guide beside him, "How far is this place from Shaoting?" ”

The guide looked around, and then replied: "Although this place is only twenty miles away from Shaoting, the distance behind it is mostly a mountain road, which is difficult to drive. ”

"What's more, although the bandits in Hedong County have been pacified. However, there are many mountains and mountains here, and it is difficult to ensure that there are no fish that have slipped through the net, and the general must not guard against it. ”

The official who escorted the grain and grass said nonchalantly: "The distance of twenty miles is only one day's hurried travel to reach Xu Huangjun's station." Besides, it's been peaceful all the way, so you don't need to worry. ”

Then, he clung to his throat and shouted, "The whole army is in a hurry!" ”

Although the people who escorted the grain and grass were exhausted, the physical fatigue was better than starvation. Therefore, they also put all their strength into pushing and pulling the baggage truck forward and doing their own work.

And not only them. Even the 500 county soldiers who protected the grain and grass felt a little tired.

The men and horses escorted the grain and grass to a small road. Because the mountain road is so narrow, the baggage truck travels very slowly.

Even the 500 county soldiers who protected the grain and grass were divided into several sections.

"Hurry up, go fast!"

The grain and grass escort officer, looking at the team moving forward like a snail, suddenly pulled his throat and roared impatiently.

"Kill!"

The grain and grass escort officer had just finished yelling, when he suddenly heard a shout of killing. I saw a heavily armed team slaughtered from the top of the mountain.

"Ah, run!"

The people who were responsible for transporting grain and grass heard the shouts of killing, and their legs immediately weakened with fright. They shouted, abandoned the baggage carts beside them, and fled back.

Not only those people, but even the county soldiers who were responsible for escorting grain and grass were also in a bit of a commotion.

These county soldiers are just a temporary team of thieves selected by the government to surrender.

After all, Guanzhong was exhausted and dilapidated, and even many county officials escaped. In this way, it is even more impossible to have the existence of county soldiers.

After Chen Xu obtained Guanzhong, in order to maintain order, he recruited many young men to serve as county soldiers.

Although these county soldiers were also bandits and rogues in the past, their combat effectiveness was extremely low.

After all, these bandits and rogues used to be just ordinary people, and it was only because they couldn't survive that they became bandits.

In their career as bandits, these men had probably never touched an iron weapon, nor had they experienced a very fierce battle.

Therefore, after encountering someone who looted grain and grass, they naturally rebelled before fighting.

The grain and grass escort officer was also taken aback, but fortunately, he still had some courage, suddenly pulled out the sword in his waist, and shouted: "Don't panic, don't panic, the thief army is only a few hundred people, we will fight to the death, and we will not be able to defeat the thief army!" ”

The words of the grain and grass escort officer played a role to some extent.

The soldiers of the county, who were still panicked, stopped the trend of rout and fled, and began to turn around with weapons to fight the robbers.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

However, the bandits who robbed the road were all extremely brave. As soon as the two armies clashed, the soldiers of the county were killed by those bandits who cut watermelons and vegetables.

"How is that possible? How can it be? ”

Looking at the bandits galloping across the battlefield, the grain transport officer looked incredulous and muttered to himself.

"That's, Xiliang Army!"

There was a man who looked at the bandit who looked like a god-killing god, and suddenly shouted loudly in fear.

The village where he lived had been burned and looted by the Xiliang Army before, so he was very familiar with the dress of the Xiliang Army.

It was only after hearing the shouts of the man that the people on the battlefield came to their senses. Those county soldiers who were still fighting with the Xiliang army were suddenly shocked and fled in a hurry.

If these people are just robbers, even if they are powerful, everyone will not be afraid to become like this.

However, since Dong Zhuo, the Xiliang army has been crisscrossing Guanzhong for several years, and their brutality and strength have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It can be said that in the face of the Xiliang Army, these people can't afford to resist at all.

"Run!"

Whether it was the temporarily conscripted county soldiers or the people who transported grain and grass, they all shouted and fled in all directions.

"How is that possible? How can it be? ”

"Hasn't Shao Ting been blocked by General Xu, why was the Xiliang Army able to come here?"

The grain and grass escort officer shouted loudly, with an unbelievable expression.

"General, the Xiliang Army has strong combat effectiveness, shall I withdraw first?"

The face of the grain and grass escort officer changed several times, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "If I escape from the battle, I will definitely be dealt with by military law in the future." Who will support the wives and children in the family? ”

"If a certain fights to the death, even if he dies here, the lord will not treat a certain family member badly."

Speaking of this, the grain and grass escort officer said to the people beside him: "The bravery of the Xiliang Army is known to the world. Now that the soldiers have no fighting spirit and are scattered, you should leave this place as well. ”

Speaking of this, the eyes of the grain and grass escort officer exuded a crazy look: "Even if you die in battle, you have to pull a few cushions!" ”

After finishing speaking, he roared, took his weapon and rushed towards the Xiliang army in front.

The county soldiers who had been staying next to the grain and grass escort officer had a somewhat complicated face, and some of them turned around and fled with guilt on their faces.

In the end, there were only more than 20 people left, but they shouted and followed behind the grain and grass escort officer, charging forward without fear of death.

However, in the face of the elite Xiliang Army, these dozens of people, like small stones thrown into the sea, did not cause much wind and waves at all.

This sudden battle came and ended very quickly. It didn't take long for all the grain and grass to be robbed by the Xiliang army.

I saw Hu Feng's staff, with about 50 people, stubbornly guarding the narrow official road, and did not let anyone go. It wasn't until the county soldiers and the people who escorted the grain and grass were all defeated that a smile appeared on his face.

He said to one of the generals beside him: "You take fifty people to guard here first, don't let people go to Shaoting to report the news, lest Xu Huang lead the troops to pursue." ”

Although the Xiliang army robbed the grain and grass, the mountain road was narrow, and it was not easy to march at all. Moreover, they are limited in number, and the speed of transporting grain and grass must not be too fast.

If Xu Huang gets the news and leads his troops to pursue, I'm afraid that the Xiliang army will not be able to escape at all.

However, the road blocked by the Xiliang Army in front of him was the only way for Dongyuan to go to Shaoting. As long as this place is sealed, Xu Huang will definitely not be able to get the news of the robbery of grain and grass in a short period of time.

As long as the Xiliang army is given a little time, they can transport all this grain and grass back to Jiguan.
