Chapter 513
Chapter 514: Bing Chengcheng
Li You's words were like a final word, and instantly suppressed all the voices of giving up Hanzhong County. After all, although Hanzhong County is not very important, Wudu County is important. To be precise, Xiliang behind Wudu County is important. Liang is still the situation before Qin State entered the pass. Qin State is really not too worried, but in Xiliang today, a large number of people have been relocated to Guanzhong, and Xiliang has become sparsely populated. It cannot stop Deng Jun’s attack at all. It is also the land of Longxing of Qin State, and it is the last retreat of Qin State, so it is impossible for Qin State to give up. Once Deng Jun takes Xiliang, then Qin State will be besieged by Deng State and Zhao State in the narrow Guanzhong. There is no possibility of further development.

After weighing again and again, King Qin still chose to obey Li You's words.Raise soldiers and horses to rescue Hanzhong County, but soldiers and horses can't be raised just by raising money. In the past two years, the Qin army has repeatedly lost many battles, and the soldiers and horses have lost too much. 40+, among these two 10,000+ people, there are 10,000 guarding Xiliang, guarding the hometown of Qin State, not to be moved lightly, 3 are in Hanzhong County, 5 are in Nanshangdang, Hanoi County, and Henan County, which can be used Only Chang'an's soldiers and horses are left, but Chang'an's soldiers and horses are only [-] people. It is difficult to rescue Hanzhong County. Therefore, the King of Qin brought back [-] elite soldiers from Henan County and gathered [-] people. As a result, only a few thousand soldiers and horses around Chang'an were left, and it was officially necessary to draw troops from other places, so it took Qin more than ten days to gather troops and horses.

Regarding the issue of the chief general of the reinforcements, the court of Qin State also went through some debates. The King of Qin advocated that Wang Feng should be the chief general, but most of the courtiers believed that Wang Feng had been defeated repeatedly in recent years, and more importantly, Wang Feng Once in Bashu, he was defeated by Chang Yuchun, the famous general of Deng Kingdom. He couldn't even beat Chang Yuchun, so he still wanted to fight Yue Fei, the No.1 general of Deng Kingdom?Therefore, most people don't trust Wang Feng and advocate the use of Wu'an Jun Bai Qi.

But King Qin finally drove Bai Qi out of the court, so how could he activate it so easily?Moreover, the situation in Hanzhong County has not yet completely deteriorated. Wang Feng does not need him to defeat Yue Fei when he enters Shu, he can only stick to the city. Therefore, the King of Qin still insisted on letting Wang Feng lead the army, which caused many courtiers. In his pessimistic mood, he felt that the king of Qin had already lost his mind, and for the sake of personal grievances with Bai Qi, he ignored the whole country. Even Li You, a die-hard supporter of the king of Qin, complained quite a bit, but there was nothing he could do. Since Meng Zhan died of illness, Bai Qi Qi left Chang'an, now the state of Qin has become King Qin's voice, even if they are dissatisfied, there is nothing they can do, now they only hope that Wang Feng can make a comeback.

When Wang Feng led the army to leave Chang'an, King Qin came to see him off in person. King Qin held Wang Feng's hand tightly and said, "General Wang, I have handed over Hanzhong County to you. Don't let me down. I don't ask for it." The general can defeat Yue Fei, as long as he defends Hanzhong County, it will be a great achievement."

Wang Feng nodded heavily, and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense after defeating Yue Feichen, but with our elite soldiers and horses of the Great Qin, if I want to defend Hanzhong County, I am still confident that I can do it. As long as I have the minister, Deng Jun can't get his hands on Hanzhong County."

King Qin nodded in relief when he heard the words, Wang Feng was not eager for quick success because of the rumors that came during this period, he smiled and said: "I believe in the general's ability, but I still have one thing to say, I hope the general will keep it in mind." .”

"Your Majesty, please tell me!" Seeing that King Qin still had something to explain, Wang Feng clasped his hands and said.

The King of Qin sighed and said: "Although Hanzhong County is important, our Daqin soldiers are even more important. If something really cannot be done, please return to Guanzhong safely with my Daqin sons and daughters. Daqin can no longer stand A lot was lost."

After the two battles of Bashu and Changpingting, the only soldiers and horses left in Qin State can barely protect themselves. For every loss of soldiers and horses, if the loss of [-] elites is too large in order to defend Hanzhong County, then it will be regarded as defending Hanzhong in the end. The county, the Qin State is already at the end of its strength, so what King Qin means is that Hanzhong County can defend it as long as it can. If it really can't defend it, then it must be guaranteed to be able to retreat and preserve its strength.

Hearing this, Wang Feng nodded sadly. He is also very clear about Qin State's current situation. Today's Qin State has long since lost the ambition of destroying Han in three wars, entering the Guanzhong, and spying on the world. For Qin State, how is it now? Keeping the country is the most important thing.

After bidding farewell to King Qin, Wang Feng led an army of [-] to go southward. After a one-day march, he entered Qinchuan, intending to enter Hanzhong County via Xiegu Road. Xiegu Road is the most gentle way to enter Hanzhong County, but Wang Feng didn't know it. Yes, now Xiegu Road, Chencang Road, and Ziwu Road have been blocked by Deng Jun. It is not easy to enter Hanzhong County.

And at the same time.Wei Song in Hanzhong County also led his army into Chenggu, but after entering Chenggu, he realized that this Chenggu was not easy to defend.

"You mean, Nanzheng's grain transportation team did not safely transport the grain to Chenggu?" Wei Song, who had entered Chenggu, looked at the little grain left, and was instantly dumbfounded. He obviously arranged for Nanzheng a few days ago Zheng's defenders transported the stored grain in Nanzheng to Chenggu, but when he arrived in Chenggu, he discovered that the grain shipped from Nanzheng was less than [-]%, and the rest of the grain could not come.

Jing Wu, the general of the Qin Army who was in charge of transporting the grain, said with a bitter face: "The general does not know. After receiving the general's military order, the last general has arranged for people to sort out the grain stored in Nanzheng, and began to transport it to Chenggu in batches. It was relatively smooth, but soon the Deng army in Anyang City went south and captured Baozhong, and sent troops to intercept our army's grain transport team, causing most of the food to be intercepted by the Deng army on the way, and we followed the general's military order, In order not to let Deng Jun get a single grain, all the grain was burned."

Hearing this, Wei Song suddenly felt weak all over and sat slumped on the cushion. At this time, Nan Yun walked in with a gloomy expression. Seeing Nan Yun coming in, Wei Song asked quickly: "General Nan, how is it? How long can the grain and grass in Chenggu last?” After entering Chenggu, Wei Song immediately arranged for Nanyun to check the grain and grass in Chenggu, especially when he learned that less than [-]% of the grain in Nanzheng had been transported to Chenggu. , Wei Song is more concerned about Chenggu's grain storage.

Nan Yun replied: "Return to the general, the final general has already counted the food stored in Chenggu City, but the food and grass in the city are only enough for our army for a month, even if we live frugally, it can only last for one and a half months."

"Is there only one month left? Deng Jun has blocked the Qinchuan Passage. If the reinforcements from Guanzhong want to enter Hanzhong County, they must go to Wudu County, but one month is not enough!" Wei Song said desperately, and then He asked Nan Yun again: "By the way, General Nan, where is Deng Jun now?"

Nanyun said: "According to the report from the spies, Deng Jun captured Dingyuan Fortress the day after our army left Dingyuan Fortress, and then pursued all the way. Now it is less than two days away from Chenggu."

"Two days?" Wei Song murmured, and then ordered to Nanyun: "General Nan, you immediately send troops to the surrounding villages to collect grain. Before Deng Jun arrives, you can collect as much as you can. Hurry up!"

"Here!" Nan Yun replied.

Two days later, in the 24th year of Qianyuan, on June 25, Deng Jun arrived outside Chenggu City. At this time, the gate of Chenggu City had been closed, and Wei Song also let the people who collected grain from the villages outside the city come back. , After two days of expropriation, Qin Jun managed to get enough for ten days, but this was far from enough for Wei Song, but there was no other way, and he could only take one step at a time.

Deng Jun's big camp, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Deng Jun's generals are discussing matters.

"According to the reports from the scouts, the Qin army has levied grain in the nearby villages in the past two days, causing complaints. It seems that General Murong has successfully intercepted and killed the Qin army's grain transport team. The Qin army has already faced a food crisis. "Yue Fei said with a smile.

"Yes, General, at this time our army should block the Qin army in Chenggu, and then send troops to capture Nanzheng, Mianyang and other places, and then join forces with Longwuwei and Jinwuwei at Jiamengguan to break through Baishuiguan and release Longwu. Wei and Jinwuwei entered Hanzhong County to join our army." Xi Zhicai said.

"But military division, if our army divides up, we won't have enough troops to make a solid siege. If the Qin army takes the opportunity to break through, it may be difficult for our army to keep all the Qin troops behind." Zhang Fei asked. There are nearly three Qin troops in the city. Tens of thousands, if the troops are divided, there will not be enough troops to besiege Chenggu, which will give the Qin army a chance to break through.

"General Zhang, don't need to worry!" Ju Shou on the side explained to Zhang Fei: "Most of the Qin army's grain storage in Hanzhong County has been intercepted and killed by our army, and Nanzheng, Baozhong, Mianyang, Anyang and other places have already been killed by us. Even if the Qin army wants to break through the siege, there is nowhere for the Qin army to go, besides, we hope that the Qin army will come out, so that the casualties caused by the strong attack will be saved."

"Yeah, why didn't I think of it?" Zhang Fei suddenly realized when he heard the words, yes, except for Chenggu, the five counties of Hanzhong County are all in his pocket.Even if Qin Jun wanted to escape, there was nowhere to go, so why worry?
"Haha, General Zhang, if you care about it, you will be in chaos!" Xi Zhicai also said with a smile.

After everyone laughed.Yue Fei ordered: "Lu Feng listen!"

"The end is here!" Lu Feng stepped forward and responded.

"According to the time calculation, the [-] elites of Longwuwei and Jinwuwei should have arrived at Baishui Pass a few days ago. I ordered you to lead Yongningwei to capture Nanzheng and Mianyang, and then fight with Longwuwei and Jinwu. The guards attack Baishui Pass, how to do it is up to you, the general only has one request, and that is to take Baishui Pass." Yue Fei said.

Deng Jun's task in Chenggu is mainly to keep an eye on Qin Jun, even though Yongningwei was separated.Chenggu's Deng Jun only has Tianning Guard left, but Deng Jun doesn't need to really surround Chenggu in all aspects, these soldiers and horses are enough.

"Here!" Lu Feng responded.
