The intervention of the Cao army in Hanzhong in the Sichuan War was expected, but it had actually revealed some signs before, but it was a little shocking to take action so quickly.

In fact, when Feige sent me a message from Xiangyang, Kuai Yue and others had not yet obtained detailed information about Cao's army sending troops to Xichuan.

But with my Lord Taishan's rapid and fierce military use, once the Cao army in Hanzhong enters Sichuan, Zhang Ren may have very little time to react.

.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the army resting, I walked around the ancient city, a familiar and unfamiliar town.

The broken walls and ruins along the way, the loess is swept.

Not far from the stop, there was a dilapidated house. The door had long been decayed and destroyed. Half of the wooden door fell to the ground, leaving a gap for one person to enter and exit. Only half of the roof was left, and barren dry grass covered the top and surroundings of the house.

In my impression, this house seemed to be a home food shop, but now I can’t see the scene of the past.

As dusk approaches, the sky is gloomy, making everything look desolate and depressing.

"...Natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the sufferings of the people! From an ancient city, you can get a glimpse of the entire picture of Runan and even the Central Plains.

"Pang Tong held his hands behind his back, and his confident face showed a different kind of deep and melancholy. He sighed a long time, "The place in the 'Heaven' is located in the middle of the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty.

And Runan is also located in Yuzhou, so he has the title of "Heavenly"), and he has spread to all directions and is rich in all directions. Now he has fallen to this point."

In the days since his invasion of Runan, Pang Tong has seen all the marks of Runan's decline from prosperity, so he feels deeply moved.

I shook my head silently and continued to walk forward.

In the chaotic times, human life is like grass, so it is true!

"See the general, see the military advisor!" When we arrived downstairs of the East City Tower, we met a team of soldiers patrolling the ground. The leader of the team leader hurried forward and saluted Pang Tong and me.

"Yeah!" I nodded and asked casually, "Is there anything unusual?"

"There was no major abnormality when we returned to the general. Only just now did we find more than ten dead people who died of hunger. Wu Sima has arranged to bury them!"

Hunger, the habitual hunger!

Along the way, the people who died of hunger have seen each other more than once or twice, and can be seen almost every place.

The lack of income caused by heavy rains and floods has been lost. The harm is becoming increasingly prominent over time. Compared with Nanyang, which has no hope this year, Runan, which has suffered slightly less disasters, has finally recovered some farming.

However, it will take at least three months to have hope of harvest. The last three months are the most embarrassing, but this meager hope still supports the people of Runan.

Sadly, the war has happened again. These days, I have been wondering whether the people of Runan welcome or hate our army?

I just hope that the war initiated by our army can cause as little as possible.

I waved my hand and signaled that Chief Nash continued to lead the team to patrol. I slowly walked up to the dilapidated city tower and looked into the distance.

It is early summer, and the fields are no longer withered and dead. The crops in the sparse farmland, the weeds in the wasteland, and the scattered trees have added several tenacious vitality to the earth shrouded in the war clouds.

Not far from the city, there were more than a dozen figures bent down and doing something in the weeds, looking at the ragged clothes. They should be the people of the ancient city.

"It's getting late. Are these people still farming?" Pang Tong walked to me and looked at me with his eyes. He said with a little curiosity.

"They are not farming, but looking for tender grass and wild vegetables that can satisfy their hunger..." I shook my head and replied in a low voice.

Although Pang Tong was a scholar and had profound wisdom and plans, he was born into a gentry and was not considered a rich man in his life, but he never experienced the lives of the common people. Some things that he had not experienced in person are impossible to truly understand.

Pang Tongyi was silent, and his small and divine eyes stared at the figures for a long time.

A slight cool evening breeze hits my face.

There was a faint smell of rotten smell in the wind.

"Drip... ticking, drip... ticking!"

Amid the rapid sound of horse hooves, a fast horse rushed from the east.

.

"What?" I raised my brows and said in a deep voice, "Shan Xin, Jia Yun will attack Runan City?"

The news that the scout had just returned to the place surprised me———Shan Xin, two powerful families who have been committed to expanding their strength, and perhaps they felt that their strength was strong enough. After joining forces, they all formed their "army" under their command to attack Runan City, the center of Runan County.

I had sent an envoy to contact me several times before, claiming to join my elder brother, Jia and others, made this major decision that would likely cause changes in the battle situation, but I didn't even know it, which made people really think...

"The wings are hard, so I want to fly higher and farther..." Pang Tong's mouth curled up with a curl and said with a chuckling, "Duke, Majesty, General, and Prime Minister, would you rather have a genitals? Hahaha...

This sentence is really harmful to people too much!"

Pang Tong's words sounded abrupt at first, but I have worked with him for a long time and can understand the meaning of it. Since the main force of the Cao army in Runan was dragged down by our three troops, Li Dian could not draw enough troops to encircle and suppress the army, which caused Shan Xin and Jia Yun's strength to expand even more.

The day before yesterday, I heard that the "army" in the hands of Shan and Jia had exceeded 40,000.

As strength expands, ambition (or ambition) also expands.

Perhaps, at this moment, Shan Xin and Jia Yun were no longer willing to be subordinates of the elder brother, and took advantage of the great opportunity in front of them to seize Runan and then create their own "big cause".

If Jia made such an idea, he had to say "admiration" - a "army" composed of tens of thousands of people to attack the city of Runan. Although it cannot be said that he hits the stone with an egg, he will definitely be bleeding.

"What the two 'righteous men' want to do will be almost clear tomorrow..." Pang Tong held up a few short whiskers, an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said slowly.

If Dan and Jia did not have any unfair intentions, they would definitely send someone to inform me about the attack on Runan City and ask our army to launch an attack to cooperate.

Even the scouts of our army and the local area have discovered their actions. If they really want to tell each other, the messenger should arrive tomorrow no matter what.

If tomorrow passes, I will forgive me for not being with him anymore...

.

Late at night, the scout sent back two subsequent news about the "rebel army" attacking Runan City. The situation was basically confirmed. Shan Xin and Jia Yun almost all had more than 40,000 "armys" under his command, swept across the place where he passed like a typhoon, and rushed straight towards Runan City.

At dawn, Zhao Yunfei Ge came to write—————The scout of the Fengqi Army discovered that Cao's army, which was originally stationed in Pingyu, showed signs of moving eastward.

.

"Shi Yuan, what do you think?" I retracted my gaze at the sand table and turned to Pang Tong and said.

"It seems that Li Dian wants to return to the army to lift the siege of Runan City..." Pang Tong said with a smile, "There are so many ants that can kill the elephant, let alone more than 40,000 living people! Although the pingyu is important, it is not as good as Runan after all.

If you lose Runan City, Li Dian can almost consider evacuating to Yingchuan or Yanzhou!"

"General. This is a fighter!" Sima Yi lowered the military silk book in his hand and said, "No matter what Shan Xin, what Jia Yun wants to do, there is no doubt that they will be besieged Runan City. And Li Dian will definitely return to the army to rescue.

In this way, the defense force of Pingyu Territory will inevitably weaken, and our army can take this opportunity to seize this important town in one fell swoop."

"It's indeed a fighter!" Pang Tong stretched out a finger and shook it lightly, "But I don't think it's a good idea to attack Pingyu..."

"Oh~~?" I asked curiously, "Shi Yuan. Tell me what you think..."

"Instead of spending military force to attack Pingyu, it is better to give Li Dian a pot to remove the firewood..." Pang Tong smiled and pointed his right hand at a place on the sand table.

"Runan?" Sima Yi sighed lightly, and then suddenly said, "Military Pang meant that our army took advantage of Li Dian's opportunity to fight against Dan and Jia to launch a surprise attack, defeating Li Dian in one fell swoop, and then taking advantage of the victory to capture Runan City."

"Not bad!" Pang Tong nodded. He moved his hand to the place where the flat car was marked on the sand table. "My plan is to use a soldier to follow Zhongda's previous ideas.

The attack on Pingyu was just a feint, with the purpose of covering up and dragging the Pingyu defenders.

At the same time, the general personally led the elite troops to go around Pingyu in the night and headed straight for Runan. General Zhao also led the cavalry from the right wing to cooperate with the general's actions. In this way, our army faced Runan from the left and right to form a pincer attack.

Based on my expectations, Li Dian would not be passively defended. He would likely find opportunities to fight and defeat Shan in one fell swoop, Jia's so-called "army". And this is the opportunity for our army."

After saying that, Pang Tong turned his gaze to me, but that gaze was more confident.

I stared at the sand table with a frown slightly, and there was no point in standing up.

"Although Military Advisor Pang's plan is good, Yi still thought it was too risky..." Sima Yi said in a pondering voice, "With the importance of Runan's position, I'm afraid Cao Cao would not give it up easily.

In the past few days, Yi has a vague feeling that Cao Cao's reinforcements to Runan seem to be suspected of thunder and rain.

I don’t know if this would be a conspiracy set by Cao Cao. Although there has not been a large number of information mobilized by Cao’s army at present, it’s better to be cautious…”
