Liu Yuan gave the order to raise food and grass for himself, and all the areas in Yuzhou outside the defense line suffered. Even the people in Yanzhou and Sizhou outside Yuzhou suffered greatly.
The generals of the Xiongnu and Han kingdoms sent out food requisition teams to plunder the people's food and property. As a result, many Xiaowubao were breached. The people inside and outside Wubao were plundered. Some were killed directly, while others were pushed to the front line.
, stood in front of the Huns.
Among them, the army led by Wang Mi was the most cruel. He was now supporting Liu Cong. The army was beside Liu Cong, and the villages and towns around Chen County were looted layer by layer by him.
Previously, Zhao Hanzhang ordered the walls to be fortified and the country to be cleared. Many people were forced to move into the city, and more of them chose to rely on nearby Wubao.
Lord Wubao accepted Zhao Hanzhang's order and sent people to strengthen the fort. Liu Cong sent people to collect food twice, but they did not harm their roots.
But this time Wang Mi sent people to collect food, and he directly led his troops to break down these forts, plundered all the property inside, and killed all the people who could be killed, while those who could not be killed were pushed outside Chen County.
, let them go in front to block the arrows, and then launch an attack on Chen County.
There were wailings inside and outside Yuzhou, and Chen County continued to receive letters from the owners of various forts asking for help. Zhao Kuan looked at these letters and seemed to see the future of the Zhao family.
The people rescued Chen County.
When Zhao Hanzhang received this message, he closed his eyes tightly, finally opened his eyes and said coldly: "Let's go to Guancheng!"
Zhao Hanzhang went to say goodbye to Gou Xi. The two had already agreed on a battle plan and divided the scope and time of the counterattack.
Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi said: "The merits of a general can be compared to that of a star, and his fame will last forever. Hanzhang is waiting for your good news in Yuzhou."
Gou Xi raised the corners of her mouth and nodded slightly in response.
Zhao Hanzhang bowed respectfully and stepped away, turning around and leaving with Fu Tinghan.
Yan Heng watched the two of them disappear, and said to Gou Xi: "General, these two are not in the pool. Zhao Hanzhang has the talent of a general, and Fu Tinghan helps him. I'm afraid there are few people in the world who can match them.
"
They talked all day yesterday, mainly about the war against the Xiongnu. Everyone saw Fu Tinghan's profound memory and knowledge, and even Gou Xi wanted to snatch him away.
But he knew that Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan had a close relationship and he couldn't take them away, so he could only try his best to subdue Zhao Hanzhang.
But Zhao Hanzhang...
Gou Xi's eyes were here, and he could naturally see that Zhao Hanzhang said that he would repay him with Yuzhou, but he was not surrendering to him, and he could also see the arrogance in Zhao Hanzhang. He wanted to conquer her, but it still had to go hard.
But who cares about her right now, as long as she can knock down the King of East China Sea.
Gou Xi thought of Zhao Hanzhang's promise to him, and the corners of his mouth curled up and he said: "He Chang is far worse than Zhao Hanzhang. If he hadn't been swinging back and forth, why would Yuzhou be in such trouble?"
Yan Heng didn't say anything. If He had not swayed, Yuzhou would have been free from the Huns' disaster, but there must have been other disasters. It is very likely that Gou Xi and the King of Donghai would have been finished when they started fighting this year.
Zhao Hanzhang met up with the soldiers and horses she had left outside the city. Gou Xi was quite generous, knowing that Zhao Hanzhang and the others had no food and grass, so she gave them three days of food and grass.
She only needs three days of food and grass. After all, she is a light cavalry, and she usually only carries two or three days of dry food.
After resting for two days, the soldiers felt much better. After feeding the horses, all the soldiers followed Zhao Hanzhang and mounted their horses.
Zhao Hanzhang told everyone with a smile on his face, "General Gou has agreed to send troops. The disaster in Yuzhou will be solved soon. We will go back to Chen County now. This time we will take a detour to Guancheng."
The soldiers didn't know why they wanted to take a detour around the city, but that didn't stop them from obeying her order, so they agreed in unison.
Zhao Hanzhang took them to Guancheng, and did not encounter any enemy troops along the way. He only saw the villages that had been burned down by the Xiongnu army's food requisition team.
The village was littered with corpses, and only the crows could be heard. The villages along the way were very quiet. Zhao Hanzhang led the soldiers and horses past without stopping, but there were often tears in her eyes. But she did not look away, but stubbornly
He tilted his head to look at the corpse lying on the side of the road whose face could not be seen clearly, and then drove his horse to run past them.
Only when the message stopped, everyone would silently dig a big hole on the roadside, move the corpses in sight, stack them together in the hole, and bury them.
Fu Tinghan saw many corpses along the way, and saw them in various miserable states. Now he could carry the corpse into the pit with Zhao Hanzhang without changing his expression.
He found the bodies of a mother and her son from the grass. The child was only about three years old, but there was a big hole in his chest, which was also close to his mother. The spear should have been stabbed from behind his mother, piercing her body and injuring her.
Got to him.
Fu Tinghan did not separate the mother and son, but picked up the skinny two together and gently placed them on the top of the pit. He gestured and felt that there was no room for them, so he told the soldiers: "Bury them, and then dig them again."
If you put it in a hole, it will be easily dug out by wild animals, so you need to bury it deeper."
The soldiers agreed and found an open space not far away to continue digging the hole.
Zhao Hanzhang buried the soil back, and finally he was so tired that he sat on the grass in a daze.
Fu Tinghan also sat next to her, and looked at the two corpse pits silently with her, "It is comparable to the period when the foreign powers oppressed us and Japan invaded us. I understand you somewhat, Han Zhang, we have to work harder.
I don’t want to see you again in such an apocalyptic world.”
Zhao Hanzhang held back his tears and replied softly: "Okay."
The army took a short rest and then continued marching. As night fell, Zhao Hanzhang and others finally discovered the Xiongnu army's station.
The scout came back and reported, "We were stationed in the first twenty miles. We roughly counted the camps and found that there are about 5,000 people. There seems to be a large number of Han people inside."
Zhao Hanzhang looked at Fu Tinghan: "Is Guancheng still far away?"
Fu Tinghan took out a map and showed it to her, "It's not far away. It's eighty miles to the west. This should be just one of the garrison. Is there a fort nearby?"
Zhao Hanzhang looked at the scout, who said with shame: "There was no one to ask along the way. We took a look and found that there seemed to be a fortress three miles east of where the Huns were stationed. It was just a broken wall and had been breached."
It seems that the Xiongnu camp was composed of Han people who had plundered from Wubao and nearby villages.
Everyone is waiting for Zhao Hanzhang to make up his mind.
Zhao Hanzhang was silent for a moment and then said: "Let the soldiers rest on the spot, eat and drink well, and stay until late at night."
Everyone understood and immediately retreated.
The team led by Zhao Hanzhang has been fighting since they came out, and has never lost a battle. Everyone is extremely brave. In the past two days, I saw so many corpses and burned villages along the way, and I felt a sigh of relief in my chest.
When they heard the order from above, they guessed that the Huns were going to attack the Huns at night, so they took a hard bite of dry food, kept the breath, and decided to vent it out in the evening.
