Chapter 108: Qin Lie rages Guanzhong

After receiving Qin Lie's order, Luo Cheng led the eighteen cavalry of Yan Yun to retreat. When everyone gathered, Qin Lie left Chang'an City, leaving only a devastated city for the Han people.

"Your Majesty, Deng Jun has retreated!" The eunuch ran and rolled into the hall, kneeling down in the tunnel.

"Retreat?" King Han asked the eunuch with a questioning look.

The eunuch nodded quickly and said, "Yes, the king, Deng Jun has retreated."

The King of Han hurriedly brought his ministers to the top of the palace city and found that there was no Deng army. He then breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he saw the fires rising and the corpses were everywhere, he said sadly and angrily: "The Old General Xiahou ordered the troops from all over the country to encircle and suppress this Deng army. I must pay the price!"

"Here!" Xiahou Jie responded.

Qin Lie and others left Chang'an and headed westward, and before the news came out, they attacked another important town in the Han Dynasty, Xianyang.

Xianyang City is as calm and peaceful as Chang'an City, which has never been attacked. However, when Qin Lie appeared with his cavalry, the prosperous Xianyang City suddenly became a purgatory on earth, and Deng's army kept killing and setting fires inside.

After leaving Xianyang, Qin Lie attacked Huaili, Zhengxian, Lantian and other cities, and rushed hundreds of miles in one day, killing tens of thousands of Han soldiers, burning down dozens of granaries of the Han Dynasty. The prosperous Guanzhong land was suddenly filled with sorrow, and the casualties were killed and injured.

In the Han Palace, it has been two days since Deng’s army withdrew from Chang’an. Chang’an City has not yet come out of the disaster. Urgent reports from Huaili, Zhengxian, Lantian and other places flew to the Han Dynasty’s imperial case like snowflakes.

"What the hell is this? My big man actually has no way to deal with these thousands of people? It's ridiculous." The King of Han roared in the court, the locust was broken, the county was broken, and the Lantian was broken, and no place could stop Deng's army. This humiliated the King of Han, who had always had a sense of superiority.

"I am incompetent, please punish the king!" The ministers knelt down and apologized.

After the Han King got angry, he slowly calmed down and said, "Heror General Xiahou, are there any echoes in the soldiers and horses from all over the country? Are you sure to wipe out this Deng army?"

Xiahou Jie made a name for himself: "Return to the king, I have ordered the soldiers and horses from all over the country to find the traces of the Deng army, but the Deng army is all cavalry, and it is elusive that they come and go without a trace. Therefore, I ask the king to order the city gates to be closed to avoid being raided by the Deng army."

Xiahou Jie was also helpless. He was all cavalry and could not catch up at all. He couldn't even find anyone, so he could wipe out the truth.

"What? Isn't this a joke if the enemy with only a few thousand people asked me to close the gates of each city? The Deng army has cavalry, so would my Han have no cavalry? The cavalry of my Han is ten times or even twenty times that of Deng's country." The Han King said angrily.

"The king calms down. Our army's fighting cavalry is on the front line and it is difficult to withdraw for a while. Now there are only three thousand cavalry left in Guanzhong. These are the soldiers and horses that guard Chang'an, so they must not be moved lightly. In addition, the Deng army went deep alone and would not carry much food. As long as our army closes the city gate and clears the fields, the Deng army will not be able to get supplies, and sooner or later they will be defeated." Xiahou Jie saw that the King of Han was angry again, and quickly explained.

The Han King said with a sinister face: "Xiahou Jie obeys the order, you send someone to order the guards from all over the country to close the city gate. Without my orders, those who dare to open the city gate will be killed without mercy. At the same time, the orders of Zhou Shen and Cao Tian, ​​ordered them to draw a team of elite cavalry to return to Chang'an to be responsible for encircling and suppressing the Deng army. In addition, send all the scouts out. I must know where Deng's army is going."

"Here!"

In Mount Li east of Chang'an, Qin Lie and others led their troops to hide here. Mount Li is densely covered with jungles, suitable for hiding troops. Moreover, it is not far from Chang'an. Once there is any movement in Chang'an, they can quickly learn about it.

"General Qin, the spy rewarded me. Now that the city gates of Guanzhong are closed, it is probably difficult for us to raid again. Moreover, there are many Han army scouts nearby. The Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun was almost exposed many times." In addition to being the vanguard of the charge, the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun also assumed the responsibility of the spy.

Shortly after they entered Mount Li, a spy came back and said that the nearby Han cities were closed and were not allowed to enter or leave.

Qin Lie smiled and said, "This is expected. Our army comes and goes like the wind. The Han army will not be able to catch us at all. If we do not close the gates of all cities, we can kill all their cities."

"Then General Qin, now we can't get the city, we can't get the supply." Zhang Hao said, it made the Han people panic and had to close the city gate. Zhang Hao was also very happy, but no matter how happy they were, they closed the city gates. If they couldn't get the supply, they couldn't get the supply.

This is a question. Qin Lie frowned and asked, "How long can our army's food last?"

Zhang Hao said: "While we were cooking grain, we also took away some of the grain. After we arrived in Mount Li, we would have made them dry food, which would probably last for seven days."

Qin Lie thought for a while and said, "Let's do this, General Zhang, you arrange for brothers to hunt in Mount Li, but let them be careful and not be discovered."

"Here!" Zhang Hao replied.

"In addition, General Luo." After ordering Zhang Hao, Qin Lie said to Luo Cheng again: "There must be a manor of Han nobles around Chang'an, and there should be a lot of food in it. You will take the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun and a thousand cavalry to rob. You can bring back as much as you can, and burn all those you can't take away."

"Here!" Luo Cheng replied.

"In addition, the Han army must be searching for us now. We will temporarily hide in Mount Li for a while. Except for General Luo, everyone stays in Mount Li and cannot leave." Qin Lie added.

Now the entire Guanzhong has been turned upside down by Qin Lie and others. The King of Han will definitely send all the troops to encircle and suppress them in Guanzhong. Now there is no need to confront the Han army head-on. You can hide for a while and then suck the patience of the Han army.

Luo Cheng led the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun and a thousand Deng's cavalry to attack and loot the manors of the nobles of the Han Dynasty's aristocrats outside the city, causing complaints from the Han Dynasty's court, which made the Han Dynasty very unhappy.

Qin Lie and Zhang Hao were hunting in Mount Li with the remaining soldiers. Mount Li is beautiful and there are many wild animals in the mountains, which is enough to support Deng Jun's consumption.

The Han army on the Guanzhong land was constantly searching for traces of Qin Lie and others, but unfortunately they could not find it. Except for the occasional news that the manor was attacked, there was no need to find out.

Cao Tian and Zhou Shen, who were in Longguan, were shocked when they learned that the Deng army was raiding Chang'an. After receiving the order from the King of Han, they each transferred 10,000 elite cavalry back to defend Guanzhong.

With the return of these 20,000 elite cavalry, the Han army's movement power in Guanzhong increased greatly, and Luo Chengjian found it difficult to find an opportunity to attack the manor, so he retreated to Mount Li.

In the Han Palace, the Han King summoned Xiahou Jie alone and asked him how the progress of the encirclement and suppression of Deng's army was made?

Xiahou Jie said with a bitter face: "King, I have already conducted a carpet-style search in the entire Guanzhong, but I can't find the traces of Deng's army. Fortunately, with the return of 20,000 elite cavalry, Deng's army's robbery has become less and less."

"Is this a blessing? Tens of thousands of people can't find traces of these thousands of people. What are you doing?" The King of Han said with a dark face.

The King of Han was so angry. If this Deng army was not eliminated, the King of Han was like being on pins and needles. He was worried every day that the Deng army would suddenly appear and catch him off guard.
