Jiangdong soldiers from around Linxiang came to help, but were blocked by Han Xuan. Basically, as long as Linxiang can be conquered, it will be equivalent to pulling out the biggest nail in Jiangdong's army in Changsha County, and then conquering other areas.

The area was easy to control, but Linxiang was originally an important defense town for the Jiangdong Army. The city was high and densely populated. Although the Jiangdong Army was small in number, it defended it extremely firmly. Han Xuan tried several hard attacks, but in vain he lost his soldiers and could not advance even an inch.

.

During this period of time, as an ally of Han Xuan, Jin Xuan sent envoys to Changsha County twice to urge Han Xuan to coordinate the advance. He also said that the focus of the confrontation with Jiangdong soldiers should be in Linchuan County. If they could cooperate,

The people of South Vietnam defeated the Jiangdong soldiers together, so even if Changsha cannot be captured for the time being, it will naturally fall after the reinforcements from Jiangdong retreat. And if the troops are stationed under Linxiang City, it will be difficult to make progress, and I am afraid that in the direction of Linchuan

Very passive...

What Jin Xuan said makes sense.

It’s just that things in the world don’t just make sense and people will do them. Human beings are the kind of pure people who will do things if they understand the truth and will never do things that go against the truth.

A rational creature?

Obviously not.

So Han Xuan ignored Jin Xuan at all and just stared at Linxiang City, because it was very simple. As long as Linxiang City was captured, it would be connected with Han Xuan's previous territory, which would not only boost morale, but even

You can use this as your site to build your next long-term foundation!

At the same time, the reason why Han Xuan did not go to support Jin Xuan was also very good. It was because during this period, Han Xuanzheng mobilized soldiers and civilians. Although the number of soldiers increased a lot, the good and the bad were mixed, and the overall combat effectiveness declined. It would be good to fight with the wind. If it is a long-distance battle,

It is probably not feasible to trek to Linchuan County. At the same time, the reinforcements from Jiangdong soldiers in Linchuan are more or less the elite of Jiangdong. If they meet face to face, they are invincible, and then spread to Changsha, wouldn't it mean that even the original troops would be killed?

Can’t keep it?

Another aspect is that Han Xuan's previous plan was not implemented smoothly. The savings of food and grain were not sufficient, and the local fighting could not cope with the expenses of so many people. If long-distance transportation was added...after all, from Changsha County to Linchuan

Although the county is ostensibly next door, it has so many mountains and transportation costs alone are a large sum.

So Han Xuan pretended that he had never seen Jin Xuan's letter...

Jin Xuan couldn't stay in Linchuan any longer, so he specially sent Gong Zhi to find Han Xuan.

Of course, Han Xuan could not avoid seeing him. After the guests and hosts were seated, Han Xuan asked about the purpose of his visit, and Gong Zhi said: "I received orders from the Lord to return to Wuling to arrange food and grass, and passed by the general, so I came to visit..."

Han Xuan said "Oh", his face looked slightly stunned.

Han Xuan thought that when Gong Zhi came up, he would either question him about the previous letter, or he would knock his head to the ground with a bang, and then hold his thighs and cry and beg. Han Xuan even thought about how to kick him away.

I will lose my grace...

"Jin Shijun... Haha, I wonder how Jin Shijun is doing now?" Han Xuan asked knowingly. When Han Xuan and Jin Xuan discussed before, they agreed to start with the South Vietnamese rebellion. It happened that although the South Vietnamese people were revolting, they had no idea.

, Han Xuan, Jin Xuan and others came and almost hit it off immediately. Jin Xuan attacked Linchuan and Han Xuan attacked Changsha. The two agreed to resolve the battle before the autumn harvest, but now neither of them has achieved their goal.

Gong Zhi smiled and said: "A certain lord has taken Linchuan, but the Sun thieves have sent troops again. They cannot fight fiercely, and the army may not have enough food and fodder, so they have been prepared... Now I am watching the Korean envoy here.

Since we have no intention of going to war, we must have plenty of supplies. Can we borrow some or two for the army?”

"Borrowing food?" Han Xuan stared in disbelief.

Naturally, Han Xuan made a perfunctory excuse, and pretended to sigh: "What a pity, if someone had collected these ten thousand grains from Linxiang, I would borrow them freely. Unfortunately, most of them have been destroyed by thieves, so I'm afraid not enough of them..."

Gong Zhi did not expose it directly, but said: "I just saw the general's camp, spread out all over the country, and there are many of them. However, there are many flags and the order is not in order. I guess they are mostly newly recruited soldiers? With so many soldiers, it is difficult to

Funds and supplies will inevitably lead to a shortage of grain for a long time..."

Han Xuan immediately followed the donkey down the slope, pinched his beard and sighed: "That's it, that's it." Then he explained, "When Sun's army was arrayed in Linxiang, if there were not enough soldiers, it would be difficult to win. What's more,

What's more, if we let them go in the newly conquered areas, I'm afraid the land will be unstable and we won't be able to feel at ease, so we have no choice but to take this last step."

Gong Zhi sneered in his heart, this was an excuse, "In that case, why did the Han ambassador station his troops here and refuse to continue the attack?"

Han Xuan replied: "On the one hand, there are too many troops and they need more time to train. On the other hand, there is not enough food and fodder. How dare we continue to advance?" After a pause, to calm Gongzhi's mind, he pretended to promise and said: "But we will wait for the surrounding areas to deliver them."

The food and grass are now here, so you should go forward, break through the enemy's defenses, and recapture Linxiang..." The implication is that the landlord has no food left, so don't ask me to borrow it.

Gong Zhi pretended to think for a while, and then said: "If that's the case, someone has a plan..."

Han Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Please speak."

Gong Zhi said: "Why don't you pretend that you have run out of food and retreat, so that you can lure Linxiang's troops to ambush them... If the plan works, then you can take it like a palm in reverse..."

Han Xuan thought about it, hey, it makes sense. This attack on the city is naturally a bit of a headache, but if we lure them out of the city, it will naturally be much easier. But how to lure the people in Linxiang City to believe that they have cut off their food and grass?

?

Gong Zhi laughed and said, "Don't you hear "showing weakness to the enemy"?" Gong Zhi knew in his heart that Han Xuan would not do anything to support Jin Xuan unless he solved the problem in Changsha.
