Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 846 Grain Arrives, People Leave

Although Yuan Tan experienced some twists and turns here, Zhuge Liang took back the Zitong County he had already captured before it was warmed up.

But things went smoothly for Zhao Yun and Zhong Hui.

First of all, on Zhao Yun's side, the current military strength of the Kingdom of Shu is not enough for domestic needs after Liu Bei goes out.

In order to concentrate his troops, Zhuge Liang left other counties and counties a little empty.

Even though Wudu County can be called a defensive moat, Zhao Yun was able to break through it casually.

Not to mention Zhonghui's side, because it is too close to Jingzhou.

Pang Tong had already sent people to attack several times, and as a result, Badong County never had a stable life.

Not to mention things like reinforcing city defenses.

It can be said to be a great feat to be able to resist Jingzhou's attack for so long.

And the sheriff of Badong County couldn't stand it for a long time, even in his heart, he felt that it was difficult for him to persevere.

However, when Zhong Hui arrived, it was the time when Badong County guards broke through.

Therefore, before Zhong Hui could organize an attack on the city, he opened the city gates to welcome Yuan Jun.

This allowed Zhong Hui to pick up another city for nothing.

Zhong Hui was also very confused, and felt that his luck seemed to be back again.

Therefore, after the capture of Badong, he began to contact Jingzhou and asked him to deliver military supplies.

After Pang Tong in Jingzhou received the letter, he asked Deng Ai to escort the army to Badong.

When Deng Ai received the appointment, he was also very happy.

After all, his teacher is in Shuzhong now.

I can also take this opportunity to meet with my good teacher again.

If possible, I would stay and work for him if I wanted to.

Therefore, after Deng Ai thanked Pang Tong for his kindness, he transported the grain and grass from Jingzhou to the front line by water.

After Zhuge Liang recaptured Zitong, he let the army take a rest and wanted to regain every bit of lost ground.

It was at this time that the news of the loss of Wudu County and Badong County quickly reached Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang also had some headaches after hearing this, presumably it was because the other counties were left empty just now in order to gather troops to deal with Yuan Tan.

Originally, Zhuge Liang thought that there would be a large-scale confrontation.

Who knew that Yuan Tan would divide his troops to capture other counties and counties, and Zhuge Liang couldn't do enough to fight this move.

But although two counties were lost, it was harmless.

After all, the location of these two counties is quite embarrassing, even if there is a division of troops, I will not let them be stationed there.

It's nothing more than increased consumption.

Since Yuan Tan divided his troops, Zhuge Liang made a plan to defeat them one by one.

But at this moment, there is some hesitation, and now I don't know where to attack first.

When it received another report about transporting grain from Jingzhou to Badong.

Zhuge Liang's eyes also lit up.

This food and grass is something that he is in short supply in Sichuan. If he can take it, it will not only be as simple as hitting the enemy.

This also allowed the treasury of Shu to be restored.

However, it is a bit difficult to attack Badong from Zitong County now.

After all, the two places are far apart.

If this army leaves, I am afraid that Yuan Tan will attack again, and I am afraid that I have not yet reached Badong, so I will lead the army back to help.

So Zhuge Liang opened the map and made a careful judgment on it.

It seems that Yuan Tan captured Badong because he wanted to use waterways to transport military supplies.

After all, the roads in Sichuan are difficult to travel. If it is really necessary to transport large quantities of grain, it is unrealistic to go by land.

After thinking about it, Yuan Tan only has one way to go: this waterway.

Then he ordered Guan Xing and Zhang Bao to lead 10 people to Bajun to cut off the waterway.

Always pay attention to Yuan Jun's water transportation, and if there is a chance, take it.

Secondly, a number of scouts were dispatched in Hanzhong to keep an eye on Yuan Jun's movements.

When everything was settled properly, Zhuge Liang felt a little relieved.

After Deng Ai received Pang Tong's order to transport the army rations, he was also quite anxious to rush to Shu, so he rushed to Badong without spending too much time.

When he entered the city, he met Zhong Hui who had never met before.

Zhong Hui had also heard that Deng Ai was Yuan Tan's apprentice, so he was very polite to him.

But Deng Ai didn't have any affection for this stranger.

Coupled with the fact that this person was so friendly the first time he saw him, Deng Ai couldn't help feeling that he had something up his sleeve.

Therefore, Zhonghui does not have any good looks.

After Zhong Hui took Deng Ai into the city, he immediately hosted a banquet to welcome him.

During the banquet, I wanted to have some relationship with Yuan Tan's apprentice.

But at the banquet, Deng Ai was not as happy as Zhong Hui.

Now that the war is imminent, Deng Ai is also focused on Yuan Tan, so he has no intention of doing this at all.

Originally, I wanted to refuse this matter, but after all, this person was also under my teacher, and I had to give face to my teacher.

Only then did he come unwillingly.

During the banquet, Zhong Hui made many toasts and Zhong Hui, but Zhong Hui was all under military orders, so it was inconvenient to drink and refuse.

This made Zhong Hui a little embarrassed, after all, now that the military rations had been shipped to Padang, Deng Ai's mission was considered complete.

This excuse is particularly blunt.

Zhong Hui is not a fool, so he also saw that Deng Ai didn't want to drink with him.

Immediately he put down the wine glass and asked, "General Deng has delivered the rations now, is there anything else to do?"

Deng Ai then responded: "There are no more military affairs, but there are some private matters to take care of."

When Zhong Hui heard that Deng Ai had a personal matter, he hurriedly asked, "What personal matter, I wonder if the club can help you?"

Deng Ai glanced at Zhong Hui and said, "I don't know where King Qi is now?"

When Zhong met Deng Ai and asked Yuan Tan, he said, "My lord lost in Zitong before, so I should return to Hanzhong now."

Zhong Hui also received the news of Yuan Tan's defeat yesterday, so he deduced his whereabouts.

When Deng Ai heard that Yuan Tan was defeated, he didn't believe it.

My teacher had been invincible before, so how could he suffer defeat?
"Has King Qi ever been injured?" Deng Ai then asked.

But Zhong Hui shook his head and said: "I don't know about this. After all, I only received news about the defeat of the lord, so I made such inferences. As for other things, I am not very clear."

Deng Ai couldn't sit still at this moment. The main purpose of Deng Ai's coming here was to see Yuan Tan.

But now that Yuan Tan is defeated and doesn't know what's going on, how can Deng Ai rest assured.

Immediately got up and said: "That is the case, I will not stay here any longer, I will go to Hanzhong first to see if King Qi has really retreated there."

After finishing speaking, he hurried out without saying any other words of farewell.

This made Zhong Hui even more embarrassed. After all, he had set up this banquet for him. Now that the protagonist is gone, what is he still doing here?

There was also some resentment in Zhong Hui's eyes.
