A Clash of Gods Chapter 1484: Empire twilight
The spies pay close attention to Chu Jun’s movements. Zhong Liao not only guards against the Chu army’s offensive, but also looks back to look forward to the arrival of the Luoyang Grain Team as soon as possible.
In the Chinese military commander’s account, several of the generals were all tired. Zhong Liao’s half of his face was almost covered by his beard. He was silent for a moment, and finally said: “Wait a minute, maybe today’s food will be able to To."
"Marshal, I'm afraid I can't wait for food." A taller general said: "Military food has bottomed out. Luoyang should know how long our food can last. If it's not known that Luoyang won't send it so easily. Come to food, all soldiers are halved every day, I am afraid that there are no grains of rice ten days ago."
He will be sneered at the thick fat man next to him, and said broadly: "Yaoshan is only three days away from Luoyang. Even if there is some delay in the journey, give them time to rest. It should be five days. The last food It was still forty days before the team arrived. They should know that the batch of food can only last up to twenty days. We have been struggling for forty days and we still can’t see a piece of food. The commander, the court, let the soldiers desperately, always Don’t make everyone hungry."
"It must be Qu Yuangu who played ghosts." Another general said: "Luoyang was sullied by the Northwest Army. All the money and food were in the hands of Qu Yuangu. He was worried that we would repel the Chu people. Threatened his position, so...""
"Shut up!"
With a stern drink, Zhong Liao glared at the general: "How dare you talk nonsense about these disturbing military minds? He is the prime minister, the prime minister's prime minister, and he is the same enemy we face, how can he be worried? We repel the Chu people? These words that disturb the military's heart must not be said again, otherwise the military law will be engaged."
The crowd will be speechless.
After a long time, a veteran clerical minister said: "Marshal, anyway, the food has been exhausted. After eating the last meal tonight, there will be no food tomorrow. If the food is not available today, tomorrow Without food and edible, how to explain to tens of thousands of brothers? The military pay has not been distributed, and there have been complaints in the army. If the cooking tobacco is cut off, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"A few days ago, the food was halved, and there were soldiers full of complaints. At the end, they will punish some nonsense soldiers and temporarily suppress the commotion." The thick fat department will say in a deep voice: "But if tomorrow again Trouble is not a problem for three or five people."
The upper ministry will smile bitterly: "Marshal, Shumo will speak bluntly, who are we fighting for now? If it is for the court, why the court doesn't care about our life and death at all?"
This is a question in everyone's mind.
Zhong Liao sighed and said: "The food of the king and the loyalty of the king. Until now, we can only do our best."
At this moment, Luoyang’s urgent report came from outside the account, and Zhong Liao was refreshed, standing up and saying, "But the food team is here?"
Soon, someone reported to the account: "Report to the commander, Luoyang betrayed!"
All the generals got up, but they were all a bit dazed, Zhong Liao frowned: "Luoyang has rebelled? Who has rebelled?"
"Bao Shuai, Qu Yuangu rebelled with the Northwest Army, they broke into the palace, Qu Manying strangled the emperor with a bowstring, Luoyang city head hit the Chu character flag, they... they have surrendered Chu Kingdom." The spy breathed out of breath.
The generals looked at each other, and they all felt incredible.
Zhong Liao also felt unbelievable, thinking that the spies lied and said angrily: "So bold, they dare to talk nonsense here. The Chu army is blocked by us and cannot go further. How can Luoyang surrender? Qu Yuangu There are still thirty thousand Tieqi in here, and the Chu people did not hit Luoyang. How could he betray? If you are nonsense, you will be cut off immediately."
"Marshal, there will never be a mistake." The spy said: "Small saw in Luoyang that Qu Yuangu led his soldiers into the palace, and then there was news that the emperor was hanged by Qu Manying with a bow string. The small Before fleeing the city before Luoyang was closed, he saw that the Chu flag was quickly hung on the city head of Luoyang. If the word is not true, he is willing to accept military law."
Zhong Liao looked at the spy, his body suddenly shook twice, before the crowd would react, and a "poo" spit of blood spewed out on the case before him, but his body had fallen backwards.
"Dashua!"
"Dashua!"
People will quickly rush forward, and two ministers from one left and one right will hold up. All the generals watched Zhong Liao with concern, Zhong Liao sat on a chair, looked around, and swept the eyes of everyone, revealing With a bit of a wry smile, he sighed: "Zhong's family is under the grace of the emperor, and he would only want to use his old body to splash blood into the field, but even this opportunity is gone. I am a big man in heaven, and I am powerless." Chung, another spit of blood spewed out.
"Please doctor, please!" someone yelled.
"Master, you...you have to hold on...!" Someone already choked: "If you have any problems, what can these tens of thousands of brothers do?"
Someone quickly took the towel and wiped the blood from his mouth for Zhong Liao.
Zhong Liao shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Qu Yuan Gu rebelled, there will be no more food."
"Marshal, we will immediately kill Luoyang." The fat man will fist and furiously say: "Qu Yuangu that dog thief kills the king and rebels, we want to smash him tens of thousands of corpses."
"Luoyang City has been blocked, we know how strong it is." The upper side will say: "There is enough food in the city, we will have no food after tonight, and we have not arrived in Luoyang, everyone will starve to death. Halfway, how to fight?"
"Kill go back if you starve to death."
People will quarrel for a while, Zhong Liao coughs for a while, and everyone will calm down quickly, watching Zhong Liao.
It can be said that the Han army is in a desperate moment. There are enemy forces in the front, rebellion in the rear, no food in the army, and the Han army is collapsing soon.
No one would think it would be such a result.
How could the majestic male master who swept across the north fell into such a desperate situation?
Zhong Li proudly succumbed, and said: "Zhai Zhi!"
The old weight-bearing member who is a few years younger than Zhong Liao will immediately step forward and hold Zhong Liao’s wrist. Zhong Liao sighed and said, "The country is broken and unable to return to heaven. Now we need to consider these tens of thousands Brother's life and death, this book will be closed now. You will immediately take someone to Chujun Camp, see Yue Huanshan, and give him this letter."
"Go to the Chu Army Camp?" Zhai Zhi is a little strange, but immediately understands: "Dashuai, you...?"
"I was going to write a book of surrender, and asked the Chu army to surrender. I have nothing to do with you, and I have nothing to do with the generals of the army. You have fought to the end, and you are about to surrender." Zhong Liao said slowly: "I wait Point to gather soldiers and prepare to descend downhill."
The generals heard that all of them changed their colors, and all of them knelt on one knee, and some people already cried: "Dashua...!"
"Failure to keep the Dahan is the fault of this man alone." Zhong Liao sighed: "This man will be ashamed of the first emperor, ashamed of Changlinghou...!"
Luoyang raised the Chu character flag, and Zhong Liao was desperate to ask for a surrender in the desperate situation. All this was known to the Chu army coach Yue Huanshan.
More than ten days ago, Yue Huanshan was about to launch a violent offensive against Yaoshan. Although the Chu army won all the time, Yue Huanshan knew clearly that if he defeated Luoyang as early as possible, the pressure on the court would be relieved as soon as possible. The 100,000-strong army was in the territory of the Han Kingdom. Although there was a grain collection team to raise grain and grass on the spot, the main source of logistics was still transported from Chu.
Deep into the territory of Chu State, the logistics line is long, and the materials consumed every day is an amazing number.
After the Qinhuai War, the Chu Kingdom has been heavily consumed. The northern expedition was just to take advantage of the Northern Han Dynasty's civil strife, but the battle was delayed for nearly a year, although the court sealed the Huainan king and the Donghai family to supplement the treasury. However, the long-term consumption has already made it difficult for the court.
Yue Huanshan thinks far, he knows that he has won a great victory by attacking the city in Han Dynasty, but whether he will hit Luoyang is really a big problem.
If you defeat Zhong Liao and hit Luoyang City, I am afraid that it is already winter. At that time, only more materials will be needed. If you can quickly lay Luoyang and get supplements, everything will naturally be said, but if you are caught in a protracted war, you will attack Luoyang for a long time. No, what should I do?
He doesn’t know that Luoyang City is the first city in the world, not only huge but also strong.
Qu Yuangu had 30,000 Tieqi. He knew very well that the city was full of money and food. He knew that Jiancheng elite soldiers wanted to quickly overcome it, which was undoubtedly a fool’s dream.
But Luoyang is right in front of us. This time is a great opportunity for the unification of the mountains from the north to the south. The Yuehuan Mountain cannot be missed, and the Chu Kingdom cannot miss it.
How to win Luoyang while ensuring adequate logistics is a question that Yuehuanshan thinks about day and night.
However, if you want to be under the Luoyang city, you will have to cross the last level of Yaoshan.
You can’t hesitate, let alone delay.
But when Yue Huanshan was about to launch a fierce offensive, King Yiheng suddenly arrived.
Qining is from the Jinyi Qi family. Yue Huanshan is a strong man who is pulled up by the Qi family. In fairness, seeing Qi Ning's first glance, Yue Huanshan feels a touch of deepness in his heart.
Yiheng Wang naturally didn’t come to drink with him, he just let Yue Huanshan stand still, and within half a month, even if Zhong Liao didn’t drop, the Han army would collapse.
Yiheng Wang said very calmly, but Yue Huanshan doubted the letter.
Half a month, the time is not long, but it is definitely not short.
If the offensive is launched continuously, within half a month, it should be possible to win Yaoshan and then advance to Luoyang.
However, if the soldiers do not move, the Han army will collapse or even surrender within half a month. Naturally, it will be no better. Once the battle is decided, it will inevitably result in heavy casualties. The opponent will surrender without fighting, of course.
But if half a month later, Zhong Liao still does not fall, and the Han army still does not collapse, then what? Need to know that half a month will not only increase the huge consumption, but also the other party has enough time to breathe and prepare.
But in the end Yue Huanshan believed in King Yiheng's words.
Qining promised to stay for only one night, and left early the next morning. Yue Huanshan didn’t even know when Qining would leave.
I can see the time passes by day by day, only a few days away from half a month, there is no sign of collapse on Yaoshan’s side, Yue Huanshan only feels that Qi Ning’s words can’t come true, but Not wanting to be at noon, Qi Ning has come to Daying.
"Is the general in a hurry?" Qi Ning laughed when he saw Yue Huanshan: "There are still a few days in the half-month period. Don't be anxious, maybe Zhong Liao will send the book today."
Yue Huanshan is still suspicious.
Qing Ning comforted me a few words, knowing that Yuehuanshan likes to play chess on weekdays~IndoMTL.com~ makes people bring a pair of Go, just playing chess with Yuehuanshan in the big tent, neither Yuehuanshan I know what kind of medicine is sold in Qining gourd, but after all, the time limit is not reached, wait a few days, since the little prince wants to play chess, it is with him.
It's a pity that the little prince's chess skills are too uncommon. Although Yue Huanshan made seven points, he still won two consecutive games. In the third game, Yue Huanshan was really embarrassed. The little prince won a game.
He also heard about the Jinghua Book Club. It is said that the Qionglin Academy represented by Qi Ning shined. Qi Ning not only drew on both painting and calligraphy, but also had four skills in chess. Soon after getting started, it's really not worth mentioning, so the news from the Jinghua Book will be erroneous?

ps: The original plan was to gradually change the old book, and the new book can be seamlessly connected, but everyone is obviously very dissatisfied with this plan. I can only update the book directly according to everyone’s intention. Drag on. If it is unhappy to bring it to everyone, it is my fault. I apologize to everyone and slap myself. Please forgive me. It is indeed that my plan is not good.
