Chapter 60: Abandoning the city and running

After the ceremony, Zhang Chen and his wife ordered a big squat. After learning about it, the 100,000 soldiers in Jadao City fell into a carnival.

Three days later, the originally well-off city of Wudao was in a mess at this time.

In the lobby of the outer courtyard of the county magistrate's mansion, Zhang Chen and his compelling subordinates gathered together.

Today is the decision of where the Wei and Shu coalition forces should go?

"Emperor Wei, the most important thing now is to take the imperial court without reacting, and we quickly head north to take Shu County.

At that time, there were countless food and grass and soldiers in Shu County. Only in this way could it be possible to compete with the imperial army."

Chen Guang stared at the Chengdu Plain on the map and suggested.

"agree."

Zhang Rui replied directly.

This is the only way.

The food consumed every day is an astronomical figure.

In less than half a month, the imperial army had not arrived yet. These people either starved to death or ran away.

"Okay, we will walk along the northwest direction of the river water. We will march for two hundred miles to Nan'an. We will march for more than 150 miles along the river water. We will arrive at Wuyang. After taking Wuyang, we will walk north for another 130 miles, and Chengdu is right in front of us."

Chen Guang used his fingers as his pen and drew on the map and told everyone about the march route.

Of course, this is just one of the marching routes.

There is another route, which is to march 400 miles north from Wudao to Zizhong, then 50 miles to Niuhan, and finally pass through Guangdu, the gateway of Chengdu, and then arrive at the destination Chengdu.

There is a fatal problem with the reason why this road has not been mentioned?

There is only one city in Zizhong within a radius of 400 miles, and it is still a small city with a population of three to four thousand.

This small city can’t afford to eat, drink, defecate and urinate for 100,000 people.

After thinking about it, only the first route is feasible.

After hearing this, everyone agreed, after all, they had no choice.

Seeing that Zhang Rui had no objection, he then put forward several ideas, and everyone agreed.

...

Two days later, early in the morning, the weather was not good and it started to snow.

It was not heavy to fall, so Zhang Chen and his wife decided to act as planned.

Today they will march to Nan'an and strive to arrive within half a month.

Zhang Zhong and Tian Xingjun each led 5,000 people to set out first, and they followed closely behind.

Woo woo!

The sound of the horn sounded, which was the signal of departure.

“How much food do we have?”

Zhang Rui rode a maroon horse, stared at the soldiers passing by, and asked Zhu Yi beside him.

Zhu Yi rode a green donkey and replied to Zhang Rui: "If we only eat 13,000 stones of corn, it will be enough for a month."

"Of course, it wouldn't be enough if they were added."

They refer to the Shen Guang's Shu army.

This is just overthinking.

Even if Zhang Rui's head is clamped by the door, he will not do anything that harms others and does not benefit himself.

"Food food is saved, and some more people will be recruited on the way."

After saying that, Zhang Rui knocked the horse's belly slightly hard, and the war horse hurt and walked forward with him hunched.

...

The first day of January is another new year.

On this day, Zhang Tian and his two men appeared under Nan'an City like divine weapons descending from the sky.

The people of Nan'an were in panic and they didn't understand where these people came out.

"Li Li County Magistrate, what should I do now?"

On the city wall, the Nan'an County Magistrate looked at the countless thieves under the city, rolled up his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

County Magistrate Li next to him was also a drink. If it weren't for the city wall, he would have fainted long ago.

"or..."

County Magistrate Li glanced at Zhang Zhong's thief under the city and made up his mind. He only showed his firm advice: "The other party has many people, so it is better for us to abandon the city and leave."

"This..." The Nan'an County Magistrate was moved, after all, he could make himself survive.

"But if the court left the city and found out, it would punish the county magistrate for dereliction of duty. It was a time..."

After thinking about it, the Nan'an County Magistrate finally had some concerns.

County Magistrate Li knew what he was worried about?

It's nothing more than the court settled the accounts after autumn.

In order to dispel his concerns, Li County Magistrate whispered: "Sir, don't worry about this. As long as you take the money to the capital to find Cai Xiang, the big crime will turn into a small crime, and the small crime will turn into no crime."

"Okay, okay!"

The Nanguang County Magistrate clenched his hands tightly and blushed and cheered.

If it weren't for the attention of people around me, I would have screamed excitedly.

This method is very good. It is nothing more than using money to buy your own life, not to mention that I have made a lot of money in Nan'an in recent years.

In a word, it's not short of money.

After worrying about solving it, what I am thinking about now is how to escape.

Soon the Nan'an County Magistrate asked the county magistrate's deputy to guard the city, and he and County Li went down the city wall to walk towards the county government, packing up the gold, silver and soft materials to prepare to run away.

...

"Brothers, listen, whoever wants to climb the city walls is the first to climb, how much money is, and how much does it cost to women?"

Just now, Zhang Zhong and Tian Xingjun agreed that whoever was the first to climb the city wall would listen to the other party.

That's right, starting from the road, the two of them had many conflicts and neither of them was convinced.

So there was such a scene.

"well……"

These brothers were also full of resentment. After Zhang Zhong said this, they raised the weapons in their hands and shouted.

The sound was so loud that the defenders on the city walls thought that the thieves had attacked the city.

Tian Xingjun made the final preparations on the city wall to the west.

"Siege!"

Zhang Zhongtian Xingjun drew his sword and unsheathed it at the same time, raised his long sword, and swung it down fiercely.

Following the military order, the two brothers behind them raised their weapons and rushed forward with their teeth and claws.

"The thief has attacked the city, please inform the county magistrate and the county magistrate."

When the deputy saw the thief coming towards the city wall, he organized the guards and defenses on the one hand, and sent someone to notify them.

Long ladders were laid on the city wall, and the Wei army climbed up the ladder like an ant.

Dongdong!

Four fat and strong soldiers, holding a temporary siege hammer made with adult waists, hitting the heavy red city gate one after another.

Hundreds of guards in the city stood firmly against the city gate, and neither side allowed anyone.

"Not good, the county magistrate and county magistrate can't find it."

"What!"

The deputy was stunned. They disappeared at the critical moment.

Soon they realized that they were escaping from the city and escaping.

"Here you come up, the thief is coming up."

With a scream, the deputy looked in the sound and the two thieves climbed the city wall.

"No matter what, even if they all ran away, I might as well vote."

For the sake of life, the deputy shouted: "Brothers, the county magistrate has run away, so it's better to surrender them."

Dingdang!
