Guangtan County had nearly two thousand troops stationed there, and Zhu Bao guarded it with his confidants.
Later, Zhu Bao wanted to pull out Yingshan and defend the siege of the Han army. He sent a thousand soldiers to accompany him, but a hundred were killed. He sent another two hundred to transport grain out of the city. Now there are only five hundred left to defend the city.
Moreover, because the county was in dire straits and Guangtan was not a place of governance, the city wall built was not high, only a foot or so.
The able-bodied soldiers in the army can cross the wall and enter the city without the help of long ladders and other objects, and can carry it on their shoulders and carry it with them.
The three hundred barbarians who came with Jufu were all carefully selected brave men. They had also sent native guides assisted by Li Huixiang, the governor of the surrender, to go into the city first to find out where the grain was stored and where the defenders had neglected their precautions.
.
Therefore, he sneaked across the city at night and reached the place where grain was stored, whereupon the defenders were alerted and alerted!
However, if they are suddenly attacked, it is difficult to form a formation to defend them.
In addition, Banzhen was fierce and brave, and his morale was like a rainbow. Within a quarter of an hour, Jufu broke into his formation and used fire to burn the accumulated food. After he succeeded, Jufu continued to fight for a few breaths. When the fire spread and became irresistible, he stopped fighting.
He broke through the siege and left the city.
The number of casualties in the battle was only a few dozen.
Zhu Baode came to report from Guangtan County and was stunned on the spot.
Immediately, he drew his sword and cut into the case, roaring like thunder, furious.
However, things have already happened, and anger will not help.
After all, he is the governor of a county and has been in a prominent position for a long time. Naturally, he will not be angry for too long.
After expressing his anger for a while, he dismissed his retinue and his subordinates and sat alone in the military tent with his eyes half closed, quietly thinking about the current plan, what should he do?
Well, rather than thinking about it, let’s call it weighing the pros and cons.
The grain no longer comes, and retreat is inevitable. The only decision he needs to make is whether to use all his strength to mobilize the Han army to defend the siege before retreating?
Today, the army has enough food and fodder to last ten days.
Deducting the food for the return journey, he could be allowed to attack the fortress for five days.
Moreover, the garrison and garrison troops have sent a separate force to attack Guangtan County at night to burn food. The defensive position is a bit weak. For a period of five days, if they attack day and night regardless of casualties, they may not be able to break through and massacre them.
Even though there were deeds of burning grain and fodder and conquering the siege, it could not deter the surnames in the county who had different thoughts!
Just venting anger!
Quite a bit outweighed by the gain.
Furthermore, while trying our best to attack the enemy, there is another layer of worry: soldiers and horses from Pingyi County may come to the rescue.
At the back of the Han army's garrison, on the steep mountain ridge, there was a pile of fuel, and a soldier guarded the brazier day and night.
There is no need to say anything to know that it is used to convey urgent messages.
If the Han army was unable to defend the siege and asked for help by setting fire to clear the smoke, and Pingyi County soldiers and horses came to help, I am afraid that it would be difficult for them to withdraw calmly. After all, the enemy troops are on the side, and if they want to retreat, they can only fight and retreat, which will greatly delay the retreat.
time.
Once it was delayed until the grain was exhausted and there was no need for the Han army to charge into battle, the soldiers would mutiny on their own initiative.
However, if he breaks the siege and returns without firing a single shot, how can the wealthy people in the county not say privately that he fears the Han army like a tiger?
Moreover, those elder barbarian clan leaders who came with the expedition killed and injured many tribesmen, but returned empty-handed, how could they not make noise and cause trouble?
What's worse, they will accumulate anger and plot, join forces to defect, lead the way for the Han army and kill Qielan!
Those barbarians have always been illiterate and courteous, and are only interested in profit, so why shouldn't they do that?
well.........
A dilemma, a dilemma.
Zhu Bao sighed inaudibly and gently rubbed the roots of his eyes with one hand.
When he frowns, he rubs all the strands of sorrow into the fine and dense wrinkles on his face, and puts them in a lamp like a bean, echoing the silence of the dead night.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes.
I saw that the eyes were filled with cold light, and occasionally there was a trace of ferociousness.
Two days later, the garrison of Guangtan County, who was stationed seventy miles east of Pingyi County, led his army back to Yingshanhuo to join forces.
Zhu Bao then relieved the siege, broke camp and led his army to leave.
However, what is puzzling is that the only people who left with him were the county soldiers and the private soldiers of the big families in the county.
The barbarian tribes who were lured for profit, under the leadership of their elders, went out in different directions at sunrise with swords in their hands, and returned at dusk laden with grain and property, and tied with ropes and crying women.
After three days of this, he burned down the camp and returned to Qielan County.
Within a hundred miles of Yingshan Valley, wisps of thick smoke rise from the ground every day, and wild dogs and wolves from various mountain settlements come upon smelling the blood and gnaw on the still-warm corpses.
If you look down from the sky, as far as you can see, the mountains and valleys are full of fleeing natives.
They all cried in agony and went to Pingyi County with mournful cries.
That Zhu Bao, as the governor of a county and someone who cannibalize the people's anointing, allowed the barbarians to slaughter the people at will!
In other words, for him, the suffering of people hundreds of miles away is nothing compared to his desire to win over shadow followers to express his ambitions!
Husband!
What a waste of time!
After hiding outside for several days, Jufu saw this tragedy. As soon as he returned to guard the siege, he found Liu Yin and Zheng Pu to tell them.
After Liu Yin heard this, he remained silent and sighed.
He was old and experienced a lot, and he often traveled around various places as a knight. He had also seen and heard that Gaoding, the king of Yue Yi, repeatedly launched troops to cause chaos and plundered the Li people in Hanjia County and other places.
After Zheng Pu heard this, he did not say anything, but looked out into the wilderness with a look of sadness in his face.
The rise and fall of dynasties is the result of the suffering of common people.
When the world is in turmoil and the common people are in chaos, he can't change anything by himself.
In other words, there is nothing he can do now.
.....................................
After communicating with Li Yi of Pingyi County again, the grain and fodder for the garrison can be replenished.
However, Zheng Pu and his three soldiers all set an example and reduced their daily rations by four points, and frequently sent many soldiers out to hunt for meat.
As much as possible, save grain and fodder so that Pingyi County can help more native people.
Naturally, after the war, Zheng Pu also wrote a letter to Prime Minister Zhuge Liang describing the military situation and the current situation of everyone.
The statement says:
"At the end of the tenth month of Mengdong, we arrived at Yingshan Huo. In the first half of the month, we built a siege. The thief Zhu Bao led his troops to attack. In one day of attack, the thief killed and wounded five hundred people. It was impossible to extricate them, so they were surrounded. For more than a month, they built a siege.
When the food was almost exhausted, Liu Yinnai led two hundred soldiers to steal the camp, killed more than a hundred people, burned dozens of military tents, and destroyed a lot of baggage, but none of the soldiers were damaged when they returned. Gofu sneaked out with three hundred soldiers and killed the thieves first to protect them.
There were hundreds of grain soldiers, and they burned the grain accumulated in Guangtan County. When they returned, they lost more than sixty. The thief Zhu Bao had no more grain, so he left the siege. Before leaving, he allowed his soldiers to plunder the barbarians, raid their houses, and rape their women.
, plagiarized supplies, resulting in countless displaced people, all of them took the old and the young to the plains to beg for their lives. There was no food left in Yingshan, so it was difficult to take care of the people. Now there are no thieves to disturb the siege. The Sima of another department leads the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The superintendent under the gate records the affairs, and the commander of the other department, Liu Yin, supervises the army on behalf of the prime minister, and leads the secretary of the prime minister's office, Zheng Pu, to pay homage."
After sending the letter, I waited quietly for the Prime Minister's new order, and kept guard and vigilance on a daily basis.
Even New Year's Eve passed by smoothly.
In the third year of Jianxing, in 225 AD, it was officially opened.
Chengdu, Prime Minister's Mansion.
Prime Minister Zhuge Liang sat upright, stroking his beard and frowning, looking at the military information cloth on the table.
However, it is four portions.
Except for one written by Zheng Pu, the other three were submitted by Li Hui, the governor of Najiang, and the dates are all different.
