Chapter 298: Battle of Lou Cang (Sixth)

After reaching an agreement with the Chu army, Lou Cang began to evacuate.

However, in order to leak the news early to avoid stimulating Zhang Han, Liu Kan was very careful in evacuation. The situation in Sishui County was very complicated, with Wei army, Chu army, Lou Cang, Qin army... several forces were entangled, and scouts from all walks of life were in detail and raided in Sihong.

The so-called family of women, three families.

This is the case for Liu Kan at present.

However, relatively speaking, after the Wei army gained a chance to breathe, it was not inevitable to win Lou Cang. Therefore, after Lu Jia secretly went to Daliang, he obtained Wei Ju's understanding. In fact, Wei Ju now also needs Xiang Liang to grow stronger as soon as possible and restrain Zhang Han. As long as the Chu army can restrain Zhang Han, Wei can move most of the power to deal with Li You.

Li You's troops may not be as strong as Zhang Han, but their elite forces are valuable.

Especially after he was stationed in the sour jujube, he could directly obtain enough supplies from Xingyang to supplement it, which would have a more serious threat to Daliang.

It seems to be a stalemate on the surface, but once Li You can adjust it, he will quickly attack Daliang City.

Even if Wei Ju was unwilling to obtain the supplies of the Chu army from Lou Cang, he had to accept this condition. However, in exchange, Liu Kan agreed to hand over the Juye and other places to Wei Ju after evacuating Pei County. For such a result, the Wei people could basically accept it.

As for whether you can get the Juye...

Let Wei Ju and Wang Ke discuss it.

Anyway, in the five hundred years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was not just the emergence of the controversy among hundreds of schools of thought, but the fraud of power and strategy has never been interrupted.

Confucius said that the Spring and Autumn Period was the collapse of rituals and music.

Then the Warring States period was a battle of power struggle.

If Liu Kan wants to gain a foothold in this era, he must adapt to these things.

On the first day after the agreement, Liu Kan divided the people of Lou Cang into three batches and sent away about six or seven hundred people. Among them, there were no wounded, the elderly, weak, women and children, and some cars were arranged to be responsible for evacuation. Lou Cang did not lack cars, nor did it lack supplies, food and grass, and what was lacking was the foundation.

Liu Kan cannot leave and ignore these people who are willing to follow Liu Kan and fight bloodyly in Lou Cang.

After all, in this era, it is not uncommon to massacre the city and destroy the family. If he leaves, the people in the city will be in danger.

It will certainly be very troublesome to take these people away.

But the same is also a means to win people's hearts. Isn't the so-called name of "benevolence and righteousness" slowly accumulated in this way?

Regarding this decision, the building warehouse was divided into two factions.

Leading by Jia Shao and others, they opposed leading the people to evacuate; but Shusun Tong and Cao Shen were very supportive of this.

Fame is also a foundation!

Why can Xiang Liang easily accept Zhang Chu's men after crossing the river? Xiang Yu had just arrived in Guangling, Dongyang and other places and had a similar city? What he did was nothing more than the reputation of the Xiang family... and Tian Dan and Wei Ju were also because of the same name?

Even in history, Liu Bang, who was born in a mud-legged manner, gained a generous reputation after entering Guanzhong for three rules, which led to the actions of him going to Hanzhong and the people of Guanzhong followed him one after another. Before Liu Bang entered the pass, he was just an ordinary prince.

This is the function of ‘name’.

It's a little more troublesome today...

But this benefit will gradually become apparent in the future.

The next day, Lou Cang sent away five hundred people!

In this way, Zhang Han tried desperately to move towards the building and warehouse, while Xiang Liang tried desperately to stop Zhang Han.

Zhuyi, Fuli, Daze Township, and Qixian areas have become bloody battlefields. Every day, various battles will break out between the two sides, and the total number of casualties every day is as many as thousands of people. In Sihong area, Xiang Yu is also in a good manner, with drums in the military camp and shouting and killing under Loucang City shook the sky. If he didn't get close, he would really think that a fierce battle was taking place here.

Liu Kan evacuated the people in an orderly manner and began to destroy some facilities in Lou Cang City.

For institutions like Tielu, you must not leave any traces, and if all kinds of new weapons cannot be taken away, they will be destroyed on the spot.

Food and supplies can be left behind.

But Liu Kan will never stay items that do not belong to this era.

On the seventeenth day, Xiang Yu sent someone to urge Liu Kan to speed up the evacuation.

In fact, Lou Cang had already withdrawn two-thirds of it at this time, but it was only half of it that it had been claimed to the Chu army.

The reason... extorted some of the Chu army's chariots, horses and equipment. After all, the Chu army was already impatient at this moment. The Chu army was getting more and more nervous when Fu Li's war was on the front line. Xiang Liang had sent an envoy to urge Xiang Yu to speed up the process and occupy the building and warehouse one day earlier, with fewer casualties.

"Mr. Liu Jun, we have already agreed that you can evacuate the building and warehouse as soon as possible.

Why has it been half evacuated so far? At your speed, the thirty-day deadline is coming in a blink of an eye. How can I hand over it over then?"

Xiang Yu was so anxious that he brought people to Loucang City in person to meet Liu Kan.

Behind him, the Chu army waved their weapons weakly and shouted at the top of their voices. Liu Kan and Xiang Yu each rode a horse and met in the middle of the two formations. This was also the first time that the two of them met since the next battle in Loucang City that day, and they were both very polite.

Liu Kan looked very embarrassed and sighed and said, "Major General, I don't want to evacuate as soon as possible, but you also know that moving is not an easy task. Especially those old people, they want to move out their own houses. This family is not full of traffic, and I don't have enough traffic. It's really difficult to speed up... This way, can you give me a ten-day grace?"

In ten days, there were at least thousands of casualties!

Xiang Yu's eyes widened and glared at Liu Kan.

"Your Majesty, a real man should be happy and happy when doing things.

If you have any requests, just say them out. It’s really unpleasant to be procrastinated like this… Just speak up whatever you want.”

"This..." Liu Kan looked embarrassed.

After pondering for a while, he whispered: "Since the Major General said that, I'm not polite. There are still some reasons why the people are unwilling to move away. The main reason is... everyone is worried that once we evacuate Lou Cang and your army will regret it, we will be in trouble. You also know that we can persist until now, relying on Lou Cang's high walls... If we evacuate, we will lose the barrier. How can we block your 100,000 tiger and wolf army at that time? People are very worried."

When Xiang Yu heard this, he was furious.

"A real man's words are so good that he can't be chased!" He shouted loudly, "Mr. Liu, Xiang can guarantee that he will never do such a trustless and righteous act. If he regrets, he will be like this in the future!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a sharp arrow from the quiver and broke it into two pieces.

Liu Kan immediately said seriously: "I know that the Major General is a man of loyalty. Since the Major General said so, I will speed up the evacuation. But..."

Xiang Yu is almost going crazy!

This guy, a man who is nine feet tall, is as fierce as a tiger when fighting. Why is his mother-in-law so unhappy now?

"June, please tell me clearly if you have something to do."

“I lacked cars and horses in the city, so the progress was slow.

If there were a thousand cars and horses, I would probably be able to evacuate in advance. But I really don’t know where to buy and sell it!”

This guy is so hypocritical. Isn’t he just asking me to take the car?

The Chu army's chariots and horses were mostly seized on the battlefield or recruited from the people. Although not too many, there are only one thousand vehicles.

Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Why do you need to buy or sell? If you lack carriages and horses, you can borrow them.

Before tonight, I will be delivered to the carriage and horses..."

"So, Kan is so grateful!"

The two of them were in front of the formation and they were intimately talking.

After Liu Kan knocked the bamboo robbery, he returned to the city with satisfaction. But Xiang Yu stood on the battlefield, turned his horse and turned around, looking at the Chu army behind him still shouting, and couldn't help but feel angry. What kind of battle is this? Even if he died in battle, he would be more cowardly than such a coward. He rode his horse to the army, and whipped the flag-holder hard, and scolded sternly: "Stop shouting, go back to the camp!"

The flag-holder was so aggrieved.

We don’t want to shout like this either... But, isn’t it all you and the military advisor’s instructions, and what you say is to cover up, and the shouting in your throat is so angry.

But no matter how much grievance is, I can't say it.

He could only let the soldiers silence, follow Xiang Yu, and return to the camp with weak energy.

"Shoushen, look at the Chu army, will they go back on their word?"

After Liu Kan returned to the city, he immediately climbed to the top of the city to watch the movements of the Chu army. He whispered to Li Cheng beside him: "What I mean is that after we withdraw, will the Chu army pursue him?"

Li Cheng smiled slightly, "Xiang Ji is afraid he won't!"

"oh?"

"I have been observing for a long time. This person is a very proud person. Today, in front of the two armies, he broke his arrows and swore, and it was obvious that he could not regret it again.

This person is brave and he is not bad at using troops... he is just arrogant and arrogant, just like the young master of the Meng family back then.

However, Xiang Ji would not regret it, which does not mean that the Chu army would not pursue it.

The Chu army is now divided into two factions, one is Xiang Ji's troops, and the other is Chen Ying's troops. Chen Ying is probably more difficult to deal with than Xiang Ji. With his eyesight, it must be seen that the king and the prince will have great ambitions and will inevitably become their confidant in the future.

If it is Xiang Ji, he will not pursue him due to oath.

But Chen Ying wouldn't care so much. He would definitely send his troops to follow the attack after we evacuate the building and warehouse."

Liu Kan nodded gently and looked at Li Cheng with admiration.

"What you see is coincident with Mr. Gongshu.

Mr. Gongshu means that Chen Ying keeps it, it is a problem. If you can't take the opportunity to kill him, at least you will have to alienate the Xiang family.

You immediately tried to inform Lao Guan and the others, and said... I have something important to do, so I want him to do it."

Since Xu County attacked Longjie, Guan Ying has been seeing the head but not seeing the tail, and his whereabouts are very vague. In order to ensure the mobility of his cavalry, Liu Kan Yi had already delegated his power to Guan Ying and told him that he could do things cheaply without asking for instructions from Lou Cang.

However, as soon as the Lou Cang war showed signs of ease, Guan Ying would try to contact Liu Kan.

As for the contact method, Li Cheng is responsible for it.

After receiving the order, Li Cheng smiled slightly and said softly: "Judge Just don't worry, I have already planned this matter and will never delay the big affairs of you."
