Chapter 318 The blow brought by the wooden cow and the horse
"...Captain, now is a very good time.
If you wait here like this, you will miss the opportunity.
It will be difficult when the traitor Liu Cheng has dealt with Zhang Lu and others and leads his troops to attack us!"
There are also generals here in Jiange. They seem anxious to talk to Li Yan, who was appointed as the captain by Liu Yan and serves as the guard here.
Wanting to persuade Li Yan, he led his troops out of the border and joined forces with Zhang Lu and others in Nanzheng City to deal with Liu Cheng.
There is no doubt that his request was also rejected by Li Yan...
…
Two days later, another request for help from Nanzheng City and Dingjun Mountain was delivered to Jiange.
More generals guarding the Jiange could no longer bear it.
They all went to find the general Li Yan and asked Li Yan to send troops to fight!
Li Yan tried to persuade him for a while, but when he couldn't persuade him anymore, he had to take out a document.
This document is the same as the one from Jiameng and Guan Yanyan.
They were all written by Liu Yan himself.
With extremely harsh words, it is forbidden for soldiers and horses to leave the border to meet the enemy!
After Li Yan took out such a thing, the generals at Jiameng Pass suddenly became quiet...
Although there are still many people who are afraid and unconvinced, no one wants to fight...
After Li Yan took out this document from Liu Yan, he expressed his difficulties to many generals.
——It’s not that I don’t want to send troops, I also want to send troops.
However, Liu Yizhou issued a death order, and there was nothing he could do...
Li Yan actually really didn't want to send troops.
However, he could not express his thoughts to these subordinates who were eager to go to war.
Let Liu Yan issue a death order, and through this method, he can lead his troops without leaving, and without losing the hearts of these subordinates.
From now on, I will still be able to lead the army well...
…
Here at Nanzheng Pass, with the passage of time, the soldiers and horses sent out by Liu Cheng began to return one after another.
The military formation that seemed relatively weak before has now gradually become richer and thicker.
In Nanzheng City, they have been waiting for the soldiers and horses from Jiameng Pass and Jianmen Pass to attack Liu Cheng, and they have already made preparations to seize the opportunity and rush out to attack Liu Cheng's soldiers and horses on three sides once these two soldiers and horses arrive.
Zhang Lu, who was surrounded, had waited until now, but had not waited for Jianmen's soldiers and horses from Jiameng Pass to arrive!
He was anxious in his heart, and sent letters one after another to Jiameng Pass, Jianmen Pass, urging the troops to be dispatched.
At the same time, they also sent people to Liu Yan to urge him and ask what was going on.
Liu Yan's letter came back, expressing his anger at the actions of the guards at Jiameng Pass and Jianmen Pass.
However, you will be outside, and your life will be compromised...
However, don't worry, he has once again issued a stern letter urging the two places to send troops.
There were also replies from Jiameng Pass and Jiange.
He wrote back that it was not that they did not send troops, but that the fighter planes had not yet arrived.
And told Zhang Lu not to worry, they had been watching the battle from behind, looking for opportunities.
Once a fighter plane appears, the troops will be dispatched quickly.
Together with Zhang Lu, get rid of the traitor Liu Cheng...
Looking at the gathering of Liu Cheng's soldiers and horses, look at these very organized letters.
Zhang Lu was so angry that he wanted to jump on his feet and scold his mother.
The best fighter plane has been delayed by you guys!
At this time, why do you say so shamelessly that you are still looking for a good fighter?
It's just that the distance is too far, even if he curses his mother, these people can't hear him.
It’s useless...
Fortunately, Zhang Lu has other expectations.
Zhang Lu personally climbed up to the watchtower on the Nanzheng city wall, set up a pergola with his hands, squinted his eyes, and looked towards Liu Cheng's camp.
This is what he does every day.
The place he was looking at was the grain storage place in Liu Cheng's camp.
Every time you come up here, you will find that the food and grass there are a little less.
This kind of visible reduction and hope made Zhang Lu, who was so angry that he just wanted to scold his mother, somewhat comforted...
"Go on and endure it slowly. Liu Cheng's thief's food supply is decreasing every day and does not increase. Judging from the current situation, it will not last more than ten days and a half."
His food and fodder are all used up!
As long as the food and grass are gone, Liu Cheng will have to retreat even if he doesn't retreat!"
Zhang Lu said to the people around him.
With strong self-confidence, he regained his composure and confidence as the Hanzhong Prefect.
"In the past few days, we must strengthen our defense to prevent that thief Liu Cheng from jumping over the wall!"
Zhang Lu explained this to the generals next to him.
"Lord, look, what is that?"
It was at this time that someone on the side looked surprised and pointed his hand at Liu Cheng's camp.
Hearing this, Zhang Lu quickly looked towards Liu Cheng's camp.
Then we saw, behind Liu Cheng's camp, in the direction of Nanzheng Pass.
A team of people appeared.
This group of people is heading towards Liu Cheng's camp.
Zhang Lu actually noticed these people when he was on the lookout before.
However, he didn't pay attention at the time.
I thought that this was just the return of a group of people who had been released by the traitor Liu Cheng to carry out activities in various places in Hanzhong.
But now, with this long line of people with no end at sight, they are getting closer and closer to Liu Cheng's camp.
He was reminded again by his subordinates.
Concentrate on seeing it right now.
It didn't take long to notice the difference.
These people are different from the soldiers and horses you usually see!
It seems weird.
The strange thing is that these people are pushing something they have never seen before.
That thing is not an ox-cart or a horse-drawn carriage.
There were no cattle or horses pulling them, only people pushing them one by one.
After Zhang Lu looked at it for a while, his expression changed drastically!
The reason why it was like this was because at this time, he had already seen clearly what was loaded on that strange thing that was being pushed and walked!
forage!
It’s all food and grass!
Those strange things are filled with food and grass!
Zhang Lu's heart trembled when he took one look at the endless queue of people extending towards this side.
I couldn't help but my eyes turned black.
Head is dizzy.
The whole person couldn't help but want to fall down...
He pinched his thighs hard with his hands to prevent himself from falling down.
Biting his lip hard, he stared at Liu Cheng's team that was bringing food and grass.
"Fake, these must be fake!
The road to Shu was difficult and difficult. How could Liu Cheng, a traitor, be able to transport so much food and grass at once?
They must have gotten some sand and other things from a place in Hanzhong where we can't see them, and had them packed and transported here to boost their morale and undermine our confidence!"
After a moment, Zhang Lu reacted and laughed hard. While laughing, he pretended to be calm and said this.
However, his words had no effect.
Because the Hanzhong soldiers on the city wall quickly discovered something new from the food transport team...
