They were harassed for several days and set up an ambush to no avail.
They sent troops to chase him out, but when they saw the figures, they fled far away. They did not dare to pursue him for fear of an ambush.
Zhu Bao was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.
All I had to do was to instruct the commanders at all levels to take turns restraining the soldiers and being on strict alert.
Anyway, every time the Han army harassed them, they always came and fled at the third watch and the fourth watch, just listening to the sound of the strong wind rolling through the mountains and forests for an hour.
Soon, he paid the price for this decision.
At the end of the fifth watch, at the turn of night and day, when the soldiers on guard were exhausted and falling asleep, a group of about two hundred Han troops moved out of Luzhai and rushed into the camp.
Being attacked suddenly without any warning, it was natural for them to swoop in like a hog and be invincible.
Although the Han army broke in and killed only about a hundred people, and the place where the grain was stored was heavily guarded, it was not burned down.
However, countless military tents, armor, clothing, and equipment where the soldiers lived were burned down!
What made Zhu Bao even more furious was that when the soldiers were in panic, some of them drew their swords and killed each other. Although the camp did not roar, about two hundred people died under the sword of his own army!
It is indeed hateful!
When Zhu Bao saw the mess all over the ground, he immediately asked someone to take down the soldiers who were keeping watch and show their heads to the public.
Immediately, they moved their army to the front ten miles of the Han army's garrison, and set up camp facing them. They were surrounded by high fortresses and deep ditches.
The defense was so tight that even wild hogs, not to mention Han soldiers, could not walk with them!
I vow not to overthrow this garrison and never give up!
However, misfortunes never come alone.
Just one day later, another general came to report that the grain and fodder from Guangtan County had not been delivered as scheduled.
When transporting food to the army, anyone who exceeds the deadline will be killed!
How dare these soldiers act recklessly!
Could it be that you really think that my sword is bad for you!
Upon hearing this, Zhu Bao became furious and furious. He scolded his subordinates and immediately led others to urge him.
But an hour later, he came back with a solemn face. As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhu Bao immediately started to overturn the verdict: the grain was not delivered as scheduled, but was robbed halfway!
Moreover, more than a hundred soldiers who were transporting grain and fodder were all slaughtered!
Are there still evil Han troops here?!
After Zhu Bao heard this, he was shocked and frightened. It took him a while to come back to his senses.
The generals who set up surveillance outposts outside Pingyi County sent messengers to report every day, but never claimed that there was any unusual movement among the defenders of Pingyi County.
But if it was not done by the Han army, who did it?
There is no way he is a bandit or bandit.
As early as more than a year ago, when he raised the flag of rebellion, he sent people to lure all the bandits, big and small, in Xianggao County for his own use. Moreover, this place is where four counties are connected, and there are not many young and strong people. , powerful barbarian tribes settled down.
For a moment, Zhu Bao thought a lot about it, but he couldn't understand it.
Simply, he ordered his trusted generals to carefully guard the camp, and then he mounted his horse and went to check it out.
When we arrived at the place where the incident occurred, we saw that there was no trace of the grain transport truck and the bodies of more than a hundred grain transport soldiers were lying on the ground in strange shapes, and we finally understood.
This matter was definitely not done by the Han army!
These grain transport soldiers who were ambushed and killed, not only all the swords, spears and sharp blades they carried were swept away, but some of them had their clothes and shoes taken away!
If the Han army goes deep into its territory to rob the grain road, it should be defeated quickly!
Once you get it, you should immediately run away!
For the sake of own safety, all the grain, fodder, and carriages were burned!
How can you sweep away swords, spears, sharp knives and other objects, or even strip the clothes of the dead!?
If it was not done by the Han army, it was the forces within the county.
They killed all the more than a hundred grain transport soldiers without leaving a single person alive. There are few people in this area who have such strength.
The big families in the county, such as Long, Fu and Dong, all sent their private counties to accompany him. The barbarian tribes with a little strength were also lured by him to join the army. In this way, only two families with such strength were left.
but........
Is it the Wang family in Fan County?
Or is it the evil of the ancient Yelang Wang Zhu family?
Well, they should have taken some weak barbarian tribes hostage, otherwise, they wouldn't have even stripped off the clothes of the food transport soldiers.
Zhu Bao walked back and forth among the corpses and looked carefully, and the inference in his heart came to light quietly.
"You can stay here with your troops so that these corpses can be buried alive."
As he mounted the Yunnan horse again, pulled the reins, and turned the horse's head to return slowly, Zhu Bao also gave a faint word of advice to his confidant.
After saying this, he closed his eyes and rested his mind, letting his thoughts fluctuate with the bumps on the horse's back.
He suddenly felt that it was no longer important whether the Han army's garrison in Yingshan Mountain could be removed or not.
Originally, he came with a large army, just to kill the Han army outposts and establish prestige for the Wang family, the Zhu family, the Yin family and other wealthy families who had different ideas.
It is not necessary to pull out the Han army and defend the siege.
The terrain of Xangqi County is steep, and there are many dangerous places similar to Yingshanhuo.
Pulling out the Yingshan garrison and killing hundreds of people would not hurt the Han army. Moreover, Pingyi County was in the hands of the Han army, so it would not be difficult to find a place to build another.
Moreover, the Han army had accumulated enough grain and fodder to garrison the siege. I don’t know how long they could hold on!
In particular, out of selfish considerations, he did not want to attract the attention of the Han court.
The three counties in Nanzhong all rebelled. The one who attracted the most attention was Yong Kai of Yizhou County. The one who repeatedly gathered crowds to cause trouble was Gaoding, the king of Yizhou and Yue. If the Han Dynasty sent troops to attack, it would be wise to send the main force to these two places.
Therefore, the Han army sent to Xianxian County should be a partial force.
If you fight against a partial force, your chances of winning are better.
No matter how bad it is, it may still be a matter of victory or defeat.
But if he were to kill all the defenders of Yingshan Huo garrison now, it would be inevitable that the Han army would send the main force to attack him.
By then, wouldn’t it be possible to stand in the way of Yong Kai and Haute Couture?
In this way, sincerity is not advisable!
Thinking about it again, if the grain and fodder were robbed now, it must be the Wang family of Fan County, so it is one of the Yelang Wang Zhu family.
Once they succeed, they will inevitably become greedy again.
If he pretends not to be on guard and secretly sets up an ambush with soldiers and horses, he will be captured in one fell swoop!
At that time, this will be used as a crime to kill his family and seize their land and property!
Not only can one establish a prestige so that other surnames do not dare to think twice about it, but one can also have land and property to reward soldiers and win over the elder barbarian clan leaders, boost morale and have a desire to die. Why not be evil?
Why did the Han army waste food and fodder in vain and trapped the Han army in Yingshanhuo to defend the enemy?
Think and act along the way.
When Zhu Bao returned to the camp, he had made up his mind.
He secretly sent his trusted generals to lead his troops to hide in hiding places, and then asked Guangtan County to continue to transport grain and fodder.
In order to convince the enemy, he also sent a hundred extra soldiers to Guangtan County to transport grain.
Since one hundred soldiers protecting the grain can be killed, the thieves will not be able to resist their greed even if one hundred more are escorted.
Who didn’t know that his arrangement would cause Gofu, who had already lured three hundred barbarians to lurk outside Guangtan County, to celebrate and secretly said: "What a joke! Zijin has no clue about his plans."
If you make mistakes, you are actually a talent that is unparalleled!"
However, those who robbed the grain were not the Wang family of Fan County or the Zhu family of Gu Yelang Wang.
This is Zheng Pu’s plan!
Liu Yin led two hundred soldiers to harass the rebel army and steal the camp. This only allowed Ju Fu to sneak out with his troops without anyone noticing, and it also allowed Zhu Bao to focus on the garrison side.
After all, burning the accumulated grain in Guangtan County is the key point!
Only by successfully cutting off the grain supply and putting Zhu Bao into a situation of no supply can we solve the siege!
