.After a night, the Hu people did not come to attack the city. In fact, this was already expected by Zhang Chi.

Three or four days later, on this day, Zhang Chi ordered Du Ximing to circle a large area in the vast land in the city, saying that he would count the detailed amount of food and grass left in the city.

As a food and grass official, Cai Shun was surprised.

Although Cai Shun was the food and grass officer in Zhang Chi's army, he was not Zhang Chi's man, but was directly under Luo An, the Diancao Commander in Shu.

Because Zhang Chi's food and grass have always been supplied by Luo An, the grain and grass officers in the army and the ones responsible for escorting the food and grass are Luo An's deployment.

Zhang Chi usually did not pay much attention to food and grass issues. Before fighting with the Hu people, food and grass were always delivered on time, and Cai Shun's work never deviated.

However, this time the food and grass in Shu were delayed. If it weren't for the fact that the food and grass in Shu were not coming, how could his army besieged by the Hu people in the city?

Seeing that Zhang Chi was about to measure rice in the city, Cai Shun asked strangely: "Governor, I have carefully taken stock of the food and grass in the city, and it will only last seven days at most, so why should I measure it again?"

Zhang Chi smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Cai only knows how to supervise the transportation of food and grass in Shu, but he doesn't know that I have brought enough food and grass from Hanzhong this Northern Expedition, in order to avoid being prepared. Now we are surrounded by Lueyang and our morale is dispersed. At this time, the purpose of counting food and grass is to let the soldiers of the three armies know that the food and grass in the city is enough to stabilize the morale of the army through this move."

Cai Shun was surprised: "It turns out that the governor has made preparations long ago, and he is indeed planning ahead and admired by the officials."

In fact, where did Zhang Chi get the food and grass? He just asked Du Ximing to personally take his trusted guards. These days, when it was late at night, he secretly filled the empty rice bag with sand and covered it with a thin layer of white rice.

Du Ximing had already sent troops outside the circle, nominally saying that it was to avoid scrambling among the army, but in fact, it was because he was afraid that people would get closer and saw something strange.

After all, sand is sand, and anyone can tell it when it is close, but if the distance is far, who can know?

The ordinary soldiers in the city heard that there were other food and grass reserves a few days ago, and most of them didn't believe it. However, when they saw such white rice today, they all felt very satisfied.

Du Ximing has been filling up a lot of sand these days, and the amount has been carried out from morning to afternoon. When it was sunset, Du Ximing finally came up to report: "Report to the Governor, there are nearly 20,000 stones of food and grass in the city, which is enough for the army in the city to eat in one month."

After hearing this, the soldiers in the city were like a reassurance.

If you keep defending like this for a month, the first one to be dragged down might be the siege army.

Zhang Chi nodded with satisfaction and said, "The Hu people thought our army had no food and hit my plan. In a few days, the Hu people besieged the city without success. The morale of the army will inevitably be dispersed. At that time, we will rush out and take Qinzhou directly!"

The generals applauded.

The purpose of Zhang Chi doing these is of course to stabilize the morale of the army. On the other hand, he also had to use this method to find out who the traitor was.

At the third update of the evening, Zhang Chi and the generals still did not sleep and gathered together. Santong said, "Brother Zhang, could you guessed it wrong? Otherwise, why didn't there be any movement yet?"

"What do you know?" Daoxuan said: "Brother Zhang's strategy has always been effective. Don't worry, wait a while before you can see the results."

As soon as Daoxuan finished speaking, Du Ximing walked in and said, "As expected, Cai Shun, the official of grain and grass, sneaked out of the city while the night was falling."

Zhang Chi nodded with a smile.

In fact, when Ding Yizhi said that there were traitors in the army, Zhang Chi would never believe that there would be problems with the people around him. No matter which of these people followed him, they were as close as brothers and sisters. From this time on, Zhang Chi had already suspected that Cai Shun, the official of food and grass, was a traitor.

And things are probably not that simple.

Zhang Chi had been urging grain several times, but the grain and grass in Shu was still not delayed. Cai Shun was the grain and grass official in his army. Even if he was a traitor, he could not affect the grain distribution in Shu.

And it happened that Shu had not shipped food and grass for a long time, and at this time, the Hu people set up traps, and I am afraid that some people in Shu would not escape.

"Young Master, since you have long guessed that Cai Shun is a traitor, why don't I just capture him when he secretly leaves the city?" Du Ximing asked.

"If you capture him, how can you let him help us pass the message to the Hu people?" Zhang Chi said with a smile.

"Transfer the message? Brother Zhang, what do you want to spread to the Hu people?" Santong was puzzled.

At this time, Ding Yizhi smiled and said, "Brother's plan is called a counter-espionage plan. Cai Shun, the official of food and grass, colluded with the Hu people as a traitor, and told the Hu people that our army would save food, so the Hu people would siege and not attack. Now Cai Shun mistakenly thought that our army had food, and it was enough for a month. When he told the Hu people, the Hu people would inevitably change their strategy. As long as the Hu people move, they would inevitably be flawless, and then our army would have the chance to escape and ascend to heaven."

"It's indeed a clever plan!" Santong shouted.

"Haha, the main reason is that you are too stupid. Didn't you say that Brother Zhang was wrong just now?" Dao Xuansu liked to tease Santong.

"The situation is not so optimistic." Qin Bo stood up and said, "After these days of observation, although the Hu army is not enough to capture the city in the short term, it does have a numerical advantage. It will not be easy for us to break through."

"And what the Hu people are most afraid of is that we escape back to Liangzhou Pass, so we have more heavy troops on our way back. Now even if we disrupt the Hu people's plans and make them attack the city in advance, it will not be easy if we want to withdraw Liangzhou Pass." Du Ximing followed.

Qin Bo and Du Ximing had the final battle, and their understanding of military affairs was the highest among everyone present. After listening to their analysis, Zhang Chi was frowning.

"It is useless to think too much now. After the Hu people come to attack the city, pay attention to checking the deployment of the Hu people's troops and then make plans to break through." Zhang Chi pondered for a moment, but he had to do so.

...

As expected, Cai Shun, the official of food and supplies, was indeed the traitor of the Hu people. He escaped from the city in the third hour, and at dawn the next day, the Hu people had already launched an siege.

I originally wanted to use an empty city to trap Zhang Chi, but this strategy was declared bankrupt because he learned that Zhang Chi had enough food and supplies. Yao Shuode did scold Cai Shun for being so bloody.

But even so, Yao Shuode vowed to prevent Zhang Chi from returning to Hanzhong.

The reason why Yao Shuode is so cruel is of course to avenge his previous shame.

I think he is Yao Shuode, the general who is the best at fighting in Yao Qin. He has always been invincible and has made many contributions to Yao Qin's growth, but he actually suffered a first defeat under Zhang Chi.

This is not the most embarrassing thing. The most embarrassing thing is that his elite cavalry of 300,000 people were defeated by Zhang Chi's only tens of thousands of infantrymen. How could he swallow this?

Therefore, he ordered: "The entire army attacked the city, but the ambush that cut off the Lueyang and Liangzhou Pass must not move, and must not give the Jin people a chance to return to Hanzhong!"

He wants Zhang Chi to die here!

In this war, the Hu people obviously had prepared for a long time and everything was ready. How could Zhang Chi not have any knowledge of the troops leaving Liangzhou Pass? But now with the city of Lueyang, the Hu people were not so easy to attack. After one day, the battle at the top of the city was fierce, but they could not be defeated.

At night, Hu talents retreated one after another.

Although we were guarded on this day, what Qin Bo said on the city tower made everyone happy: "We sent more than a dozen horses to explore the horse today, but only one person turned around. According to the investigation report, there are still heavy troops guarding the road to the south. What should we do?"

Zhang Chi stood on the top of the city tower, looking at the body of Hu Bing who was scattered under the city and died of siege, and shook his head, but there was no way.

There are many Hu soldiers, and even if they use corpses to pile up, they will always pile up on the top of the city. Moreover, the food and grass in his city cannot support this day.

Du Ximing commanded the city to defend the city for a day, and said in a dirt-like manner: "Young Master, it is not a solution to continue like this. Although the soldiers in the city have solidified their morale, they will have no food in a few days. By then, it is impossible for us to break through."

Everyone had no choice. Zhao Qian suddenly stepped forward and said, "Report to the Governor, the last general has a plan."

"Oh, come and listen."

"Now we are surrounded by the Hu army, and it will be even more difficult to break through the siege. However, I think that although the Hu people have a large number of troops, they have limited power after all, and it is unlikely that they will be surrounded by iron barrels on all sides. I am afraid that in order to prevent the governor from breaking through, the Hu people will have more troops between Lueyang and Liangzhou Pass."

This is obvious. Zhao Qian continued: "If the general of the Mo to lead 8,000 dead soldiers at night and break through with all his might and attack directly towards Qinzhou City, there are not many Hu soldiers in this direction. Besides, if they don't tell the number of the generals in the dark, they will definitely think they are the main force of the governor."

Now Zhang Chi understood what Zhao Qian meant, but Zhao Qian continued to say: "From the last general to attack, the Hu people thought that the general was going to attack Qinzhou City, and the army would inevitably be mobilized. At that time, the governor could break out to Liangzhou Pass."

A plan is a good plan, but if so, how can Zhao Qian come back here?

Seeing Zhang Chi hesitating, Zhao Qian thought Zhang Chi was worried that the plan would not be successful, and said, "The governor first released news to the Hu people through the food and grass officer, saying that our army had sufficient food and grass. After stalemate with the Hu people for several days, our army led our army to take Qinzhou directly. Now I attacked at night, and the Hu people must believe it!"

"I don't think this plan is not good. I'm just worried that if you feint attack Qinzhou, you will be afraid that it will be difficult to get out." Zhang Chi said.

Zhao Qian smiled softly and said, "Governor, I, Zhao Qian, is the famous general of the Three Kingdoms, and the most important thing is loyalty and righteousness. If I had no son, I was just a low-level officer in Shu. I am afraid that it would be hard to tell whether I could really command troops to fight a war until I died. A soldier died for a confidant, and even if I, Zhao Qian, cannot escape this time, then I am willing."

After saying that, Zhao Qian said to the dark blade again: "Before meeting the young master again, I was guilty and a 'poor family'. I hope I can make up for my merits today."

Dark Blade's expression was still cold, and there seemed to be no change.

Zhao Qian said that he was guilty and a poor family, of course, that he had indeed killed many poor people in Badong County before following Zhang Chi. When Zhang Chi first came to Shuzhong to meet Dabian, wasn't it the poor branch that Zhao Qian led his men to encircle and suppress?

Originally, Zhao Qian was indeed infected with a lot of the atmosphere in the officialdom in Shu, but since he followed Zhang Chi, the change has indeed not been a little bit.

"Don't be anxious first, let's think about whether there is any other way." It is not Zhang Chi's style to ask others to take risks.

"Governor!" Zhao Qian said loudly: "The situation is urgent now. If we don't make a decision, we will run out of food and grass.

Organize and clean cloth.
