Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 327
In the next few days, Sun Jian sent troops to attack the city every day, but the defense measures of Sishui Pass were well done, and there were also tens of thousands of Liangzhou soldiers and horses in the pass, with sufficient troops, so every time he attacked the city, he returned without success .

During this period, Gao Cheng also dispatched Chen Dao and Zhou Tai to lead troops into battle. Speaking of which, in this world, his soldiers were either fighting in the field or defending. This was the first time he had faced such a strong city wall as Sishui Pass.Not much experience in siege.

Therefore, Gao Cheng used battle as a substitute training to train the attacking ability of his soldiers. With Sun Jian as a reference, the experience of Chen Dao, Zhou Tai, and Lu Dai has rapidly increased. I believe that after this training, their abilities can be improved a lot.

……

In Suanzao camp, the army of princes is slowly moving towards Sishui Pass.Among them, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other princes have received the battle report from Sun Jian.

Among them, Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he heard that the forward beheaded Hu Zhen, a general of Liangzhou.Sun Jian is attached to his influence, now that the younger brother has made the first contribution, he, the eldest brother, also has glory in face.

The school lieutenant sent by Sun Jian reported the lack of food and grass. Yuan Shu immediately said that even if his soldiers were short of food, he could not let Sun Jian's soldiers go hungry.

However, Yuan Shu's old nest was far away in Nanyang, and now the rations and grass for the armies of the princes were all supplied by Jizhou. Yuan Shu personally sought out Han Fu and urged him to bring the food and grass from Jizhou.

Yuan Shu was happy, but Yuan Shao felt dissatisfied in his heart. In the big tent of the Chinese army, he held a military newspaper and frowned slightly.Sitting in front of him was counselor Xu You. Seeing Yuan Shao's expression, he couldn't help smiling.

"My lord, Sun Jian and Gao Cheng made the first contribution in beheading Hu Zhen. However, one of these two is a member of the road, and the other is a remnant of the eunuch. We can't let them make meritorious deeds. If they capture Sishui, the reputation of the road will definitely be ruined." It is at its peak, threatening the lord's position as the leader of the alliance!"

Xu You knew a lot about Yuan Shao's character, so he said tentatively.

Sure enough, as he expected, Yuan Shao sighed slightly when he heard the words, and said: "Gaolu is lucky, Sun Jian is a fierce tiger in the world, and the Sun family is full of extraordinary generals, but such a talent has taken refuge in him, and he has made him a leader for no reason. achievement!"

Then his eyes flashed, and he asked in a low voice: "Ziyuan, do you have a plan to prevent Sun Jian and Gao Cheng from attacking Sishui?"

A smile appeared on Xu You's face, Yuan Shao was the leader of the princes and allies, and he had plenty of ways to plot against Sun Jian and Gao Cheng.As soon as he thought about it, he thought of a way.

"This matter is simple. I heard that Sun Jian is eager to make contributions, and his marching speed is too fast. There is not much food and grass. Well, Yan Liangwenchou is now protecting the luggage in the rear. Why don't you secretly issue a warrant to let the two pretend to be bandits and lead elite soldiers to intercept and kill Jizhou. The food and grass brought in! On the one hand, it can make Sun Jian run out of food, and on the other hand, we can continue to recruit soldiers with these food and grass to strengthen our army!"

Yuan Shao nodded after listening, Xu You always has a solution every time he encounters a problem.He immediately said: "Just do what Ziyuan said, and I will give Yan Liang Wenchou an order! If two people take action, even if Han Fu sends Pan Feng to transport the grain, they will definitely not be able to keep the grain!"

As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao naturally knew the transportation route of grain and grass, so he ordered his men to intercept and kill all the grain and grass in Jizhou. I am afraid that the camp will be without food for two days.

Even the army of the princes has no food and grass, how to transport food to Sun Jian?When Sun Jian's lieutenant heard the news, his expression changed wildly, and he hurried back to Sishui Pass to report the news to Sun Jian.

……

big camp.There was silence.After Sun Jian and Gao Cheng got the news, they were all silent.Zhu Zhi, Han Dang and others were full of anger, and Cheng Pu cursed even more.

"The most poisonous way to defeat the enemy is to cut off food supplies! I didn't expect that I, Sun Jian, would not be defeated by Hua Xiong's men, but would be defeated by friendly forces!" After a while, Sun Jian gritted his teeth and said.

These generals have amazing physical strength, even if they are hungry for a few days and nights, they still have physical strength, but the soldiers under their command do not have such a state and strength. If they are hungry for a day, their combat effectiveness will decline.If you starve for three days, you can only wait to die.

Gao Cheng said: "The food and grass of the Allied Army depend entirely on Jizhou. If there is no food and grass, we will have to withdraw our troops. When the main forces of the princes come, the first effort to break the Si River will be gone... There must be someone among them. Make trouble!"

Zhu Zhi said helplessly: "Even if we know that someone is obstructing it, there is nothing we can do. There is only two days of food left in the camp. With some food and grass sent by the general later, we can support it for three days at most. After three days, there will be no food and grass. It's dangerous!"

Speaking of it, Yuan Shu was quite responsible. He said that even if his soldiers and horses were hungry, he would provide Sun Jian with food and grass. Now that the food and grass in Jizhou were not available, he gritted his teeth and really distributed some of the food stored in his army. Sun Jian was a little moved.

At this time, Xi Zhicai suddenly said: "My lord, General Sun, the matter has come to this, why don't we just follow the plan?"

Everyone turned their eyes, Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "The current situation is that the army is short of food and grass, the general can take the initiative to secretly pass the news of the lack of food to Sishui Pass, and pretend to retreat. If Hua Xiong can't bear it, We must take the opportunity to intercept the camp, our army can take the opportunity to ambush, as long as we are prepared, we will definitely be able to keep Hua Xiong behind, and without Hua Xiong at that time, Sishui Pass will be broken!"

"This is indeed a good strategy! But what if Hua Xiong doesn't fall for it?" Zhu Zhi asked with a frown.

Xi Zhicai smiled, spread his hands, and said: "Then we can only really retreat! It is true that our army is short of food, and it is true that we are going to retreat. If Hua Xiong is really not fooled, then he must be a general. Have patience and tenacity, and then we can only wait for the main force of the allied forces to come to forcibly tackle the problem!"

Sun Jian slapped the wooden table in front of him abruptly, took a deep breath, and said, "Just follow Mr. Xi's plan! If Hua Xiong doesn't fall for it, it's destiny, no wonder others!"

Then he set his eyes on Gao Cheng and said, "Brother Ziming, our two troops must cooperate fully this time. When the time comes, the four generals under my command, together with the three generals under your command, Chen, Zhou, and Gao Together, as long as Hua Xiong dares to come, we will definitely let him come and go!"

Sun Jian acted quickly and quickly made arrangements to send his confidants to deliberately pretend to be deserters, but was caught by Dong Jun's soldiers at Sishui Pass and passed the news to Hua Xiong at Sishui Pass.

At this time, Hua Xiong and Li Su were sweating profusely as they sent the envoy sent by Dong Zhuo away. When they heard the news that Sun Jian's army had run out of food and was about to withdraw, they looked at each other in blank dismay.

"What a coincidence? Sun Jian ran out of food and retreated just after Prime Minister ordered us to commit crimes and meritorious deeds. Could it be that God deliberately gave us credit for our unlucky luck?" Li Su said hesitantly.

Hua Xiong's expression was shocked, and he shouted: "Sun Jian's army has run out of food and grass, and the sky will never stop me. Let me know the news. I will personally lead the troops to cut off the camp tonight, and I will definitely cut off Sun Jian's head!"

Li Su frowned, and said hastily: "General, you must not send troops. As long as Sun Jian withdraws, we will be considered as defending the Sishui Pass and make a contribution. If we take the initiative to leave the pass, there will be a risk of defeat!"

"What's the risk? Didn't you hear that Sun Jian's army is short of food, and there are already deserters? Such an army is vulnerable! If God doesn't take it, he will be blamed. I'm afraid General Zhonglang is worrying too much!" Hua Xiong said in a deep voice. .

Li Su shook his head, "What if this is Sun Jian's plan? Our initiative to leave the pass is in his favor!"

Hua Xiong's face changed slightly, what the other party said made sense, he waved his hand, and immediately sent hundreds of scouts to find out the news, and soon after, these scouts reported back that the news was indeed true.

"General Zhonglang, do you have any objections now?" Hua Xiong said.

Li Su frowned, and just in case, he went to the closed wall in person, using his keen five senses and powerful spiritual power to sense the camp in the distance.There was faint movement from the other side's camp, as if they were about to withdraw their troops.

"It's a pity that I haven't made a breakthrough in my spiritual power now. If I break through the realm and become a strong soul refiner, I will be able to cultivate the mirror mind method bestowed by Xiangguo to the realm of mirroring thousands of miles, and check every move of Sun Jian's camp!" Li Su I thought bitterly in my heart.

When Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he personally recruited the unparalleled fierce general Lu Bu for the other party, and made great contributions. Therefore, after Dong Zhuo became the prime minister, he rewarded him with a soul-refining exercise to reward him.

It's a pity that Li Su's aptitude is not very good. Even if he has a superior soul refining technique, he hasn't made much progress, and has been stuck in the ninth level of soul cultivation, unable to make any progress.

Sensing that Sun Jian's army had indeed run out of supplies and had no choice but to retreat, Li Su could no longer stop Hua Xiong, and could only watch as Hua Xiong selected [-] elite troops from the hundreds of thousands guarding the pass.Then he took his five thousand iron cavalry with him, and when the time came, he went out to rob the camp.
