Chapter 109 Qin Lie Raids Guanzhong
Chapter 1: Qin Lie Raids Guanzhong

After receiving Qin Lie's order, Luo Cheng led Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry back and retreated. After everyone had assembled, Qin Lie left Chang'an City, leaving only a devastated city for the Han people.

"Report to Your Majesty, Deng Jun has retreated!" The servant ran and rolled into the hall, knelt down in the tunnel.

"Retired?" King Han asked the servant with questioning eyes.

The servant quickly nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Deng Jun has all retreated."

The King of Han hurriedly led his officials to the top of the palace city, and found that there was no sign of Deng Jun. He was relieved, but when he saw the flames and the corpses everywhere in Chang'an City, he said sadly: "Old General Xiahou, send orders to all places Soldiers and horses, order them to encircle and suppress this Deng army, and I will make them pay the price!"

"Here!" Xia Houjie responded.

After leaving Chang'an, Qin Lie and others headed west all the way, and before the news spread, they attacked Xianyang, another important town in the Han Kingdom.

Xianyang City was as calm and peaceful as Chang'an City which had never been attacked, but when Qin Lie appeared with his cavalry, the bustling Xianyang City suddenly became a purgatory on earth, where Deng Jun kept killing and setting fire.

After leaving Xianyang, Qin Lie attacked Huaili, Huxian, Lantian and other cities. He ran for hundreds of miles a day, beheaded tens of thousands of Han troops, and burned more than a dozen granaries in the Han country. pillow mat.

In the Palace of the King of Han, it had been two days since Deng Jun withdrew from Chang'an, and the city of Chang'an hadn't recovered from the disaster. The urgent reports from Huaili, Hu County, Lantian and other places flew like snowflakes to the court of the King of Han.

"What the hell is going on? My big man has nothing to do with these thousands of people? It's ridiculous." The King of Han roared in the court hall. Huaili was destroyed, Hu County was destroyed, and Lantian was destroyed. Being able to block Deng Jun humiliated Hanwang, who had always had a sense of superiority.

"The ministers are incompetent, please forgive me!" All the ministers knelt down and pleaded guilty.

After the King of Han lost his temper, he calmed down slowly and said, "Old General Xiahou, do you hear from the soldiers and horses from all over the place? Are you sure to destroy this Deng army?"

Xia Houjie said: "Back to your Majesty, I have ordered soldiers and horses from all over the country to look for Deng Jun's traces, but Deng's troops are all cavalry, and they come and go without a trace. It is very elusive, so I ask your Majesty to order the cities to be closed. door, so as not to be raided by Deng Jun."

Xia Houjie is also very helpless. They are all cavalry, and they can't catch up at all. They can't even find them, so they wiped them out.

"What? Isn't it a joke that the enemy army with a few thousand people closed the gates of the cities? Deng Jun has cavalry, so don't I have cavalry? My cavalry is ten times or even twenty times that of Deng's. times." The King of Han said angrily.

"Your Majesty, calm down. Our army's war cavalry are all on the front line, and it is difficult to withdraw for a while. Now only Chang'an and [-] cavalry are left in Guanzhong. As long as our army closes the city gates and fortifies the walls and clears the fields, Deng's army will be defeated sooner or later without supplies." Seeing that the King of Han was showing signs of anger again, Xia Houjie quickly explained.

The king of Han said with a sullen face: "Xia Houjie listens to the order. You send people to order the guards everywhere to close the city gate. If there is no order from the widow, whoever dares to open the city gate will be killed without mercy. At the same time, order Zhou Shen and Cao Tian. Order the two of them to send a fine cavalry back to Chang'an to be in charge of encircling and suppressing Deng's army, and also send out all the scouts, so I want to know the whereabouts of Deng's army."

"Here!"

In the Lishan Mountain east of Chang'an, Qin Lie and others led their troops to hide here. The Lishan Mountain is densely covered with forests, suitable for hiding soldiers, and it is not far from Chang'an. Once there is any movement in Chang'an, they can quickly find out.

"General Qin, the spies report that the gates of all the cities in Guanzhong are closed. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to raid again, and there are many more Han army scouts nearby. The Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry were almost exposed many times." Luo Cheng The Yanyun Eighteenth Cavalry under him not only acted as the first team to charge, but also assumed the duty of a spy.

Not long after they entered Lishan, spies came back and said that the gates of the nearby cities of the Han Dynasty were tightly closed, and no entry or exit was allowed.

Qin Lie smiled and said: "This is expected. Our army comes and goes like the wind, and the Han army can't catch us at all. If we don't close the gates of all the cities, we can kill all their cities. Kill it once."

"Then General Qin, now we can't enter the city, and we can't get supplies." Zhang Hao said. Zhang Hao was also very happy to make the people of Han panic and had to close the city gate. If it is closed, they cannot enter the city, and there is no way to get supplies.

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

Zhang Hao said: "While we burned the grain, we also took some of it. After arriving at Lishan Mountain, we will have them make it into dry food. It is estimated that it can last for seven days."

Qin Lie thought for a while and said, "How about this, General Zhang, arrange for your brothers to hunt in the Lishan Mountains, but tell them to be careful so that no one will find out."

"Here!" Zhang Hao responded.

"Also, General Luo." After ordering Zhang Hao, Qin Lie said to Luo Cheng again: "There must be manors of Han nobles around Chang'an, and there should be a lot of food in them. You brought Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry and a thousand When the cavalry went to loot, they brought back as much as they could bring back, and burned what they couldn’t take away.”

"Here!" Luo Cheng replied.

"Besides, the Han army must be hunting us down. We will hide in Lishan for a while. Except for General Luo, everyone will stay in Lishan and cannot leave." Qin Lie added.

Now that the entire Guanzhong has been turned upside down by Qin Lie and others, the King of Han will definitely send all his soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress them all over the Guanzhong. Now there is no need to confront the Han army head-on, just hide for a while to wear down the patience of the Han army.

Luo Cheng led Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry and a thousand Deng Jun cavalry to continuously attack and plunder the manors of the nobles of the Han Dynasty outside the city, which caused complaints from the court of the Han Dynasty, and made the King of Han very tired.

Qin Lie and Zhang Hao took the remaining soldiers and horses to hunt in Lishan Mountain. Lishan Mountain has beautiful scenery and a lot of wild animals in the mountain, enough to support Deng Jun's food.

The Han army on the land of Guanzhong is constantly searching for traces of Qin Lie and others, but unfortunately there is no way to find them. Except for the occasional reports that some manor was attacked, other news are simply not found.

Cao Tian and Zhou Shen, who were in Longguan, were shocked when they learned that Deng Jun had raided Chang'an. After receiving the order from the King of Han, they each mobilized [-] fine horsemen to return to the pass.

With the return of [-] fine cavalry, the mobility of the Han army in Guanzhong has greatly increased, and after Luo Chengjian found it difficult to find an opportunity to attack the manor, he retreated to Lishan.

In the Palace of the King of Han, the King of Han summoned Xia Houjie alone and asked him how he was progressing in encircling and suppressing the Deng Army.

Xia Houjie said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, I have carried out a blanket search in the entire Guanzhong, but I couldn't find any traces of Deng Jun, but fortunately, with [-] fine cavalry returning to defense, Deng Jun looted There is less and less action.”

"It's lucky? Tens of thousands of people can't find any trace of these thousands of people. What are you doing for food?" King Han asked with a dark face.

The King of Han was so angry that if the Deng army was not eliminated, the King of Han would be sitting on pins and needles, worrying every day that this Deng army would suddenly appear one day, and he would be caught off guard.

"Your Majesty, I have tried my best. The land of Guanzhong is so vast. It is really difficult to cover all of them with this little army. Now we can only wait for Deng Jun to show up. As long as they dare to come out, we will be able to track them down." Xia Houjie is not sure.
