Since he went north to the Jiangbianbashi battlefield, his happy and joyful smile has been on the face of the general of the Wei army led by Qian Hong.

Well, even though the Han army had arrived one day in advance to the only riverside crossing within a radius of 100 miles, destroyed the floating bridge built by the soldiers of Sancun County for the Wei army, snatched away all the ships on the south bank of the Lushui River as much as possible, and established a camp, completely cut off the Wei army's crossing road, and completely cut off the Wei army's supply and food supply routes. Qian Hong and other Wei soldiers still laughed happily and were more relaxed and leisurely.

As for the reason, of course, it was because the Han army was too stupid and was only concerned about cutting off the Wei army's food route and retreat, but forgot that after the army achieved this goal, its food route and retreat were also cut off by the Wei army, and they were trapped in a dead place where the water in front and behind could not be replenished.

Of course, there is a more critical point. The Wei army can eat food and grass for at least twenty days. Although the Wei army does not know how much food and grass for the Han army are, the Wei army knows that the Han army's food and grass for a few days will never be eaten for a few days. It is great for seven or eight days. If it is a few three or four days, the Han army will definitely fall into a food shortage. Then the Wei army soldiers do not need to do anything, and they can starve these Han army soldiers who occupied the ferry!

Even the surrendered soldiers of Shu Han who were forced to fight for the Wei army thought so. They thought that Zhang Zhi was too ignorant of fighting and would bring the army to such a dead place. He was sympathetic to the Yizhou companions who had surrendered to the Han army on the way to retreat. They just broke out of the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den.

Tian Xu, whose eyes were blinded by the Han army, even openly shouted, "When the thief army is starved and Zhang Zhi'er is captured alive, I will use a knife to cut the thief to death with one knife! Avenge my general's eyes!"

Because of this, after heading north to the Jiangbian Ferry, the Wei army not only did not rush to retake the ferry at all, but also calmly and carefully established camps in the Wanzi area several miles south like those Han army soldiers wearing strange armor. Deep ditches and high acres were ready to confront the Han army patiently. While carefully preventing the Han army from launching a raid, they were waiting with a smile to appreciate the embarrassment and tragic situation of the Han army after the food was cut off.

Facts proved that the Han army was indeed in a hurry to start a decisive battle. During the establishment of the Wei army, a Sansou boatman who fled from the ferry reported an important news to the Wei army that the Han army was on the surface in the reinforcement camp with deep grooves and high bases, but in fact, they were preparing for war with a large number of torches, as if they were planning to launch Zhang Zhi's best-known night sneak attack.

Of course, Qian Hong was mentally prepared for this. In addition to ordering the soldiers to strengthen the camp with all their might, he arranged for the army to take turns to be on guard at night in the evening, ready to attack the Han army's robbery soldiers at any time. Although he consumed some more food and was forced to prepare a midnight snack for the Wei soldiers who could only eat two meals a day, Qian Hong was not worried at all.

That's right, there is no need to feel sorry for you. After passing through Sancang County, there is food and grass to replenish. At the same time, the local army in Yueli is still transporting food from the Sichuan Basin to the south. Therefore, you only need to starve the Han army and retake the ferry. There is no need to worry about the food and grass replenishment of the Great Wei army. On the contrary, there is still the opportunity to take the opportunity to counterattack Wei County.

There was only one thing that made Qian Hong very puzzled, that was, on the night when the Wei army arrived near the riverside, the Han army calmed down and did not take action. It was not as unanimously recognized by Qian Hong and the generals of the Wei army. Taking advantage of the opportunity that the Wei army had just arrived at the camp and established a stable position, he launched a night sneak attack, which made the brave and invincible Wei soldiers take a long time to guard for a night and also caused the Wei army to consume an extra meal.

Qian Hong and others were even more puzzled. On the second day, the Han army, which was short of food and grass, did not launch an attack. They were still desperately struggling to strengthen camp defense, and had already begun to dig the second camp protection trench, showing no signs of rushing to fight.

However, Zhang Zhi's fox tail was soon revealed. As the next day approached evening, the Wei army scout who ventured to approach the Han army camp to explore the enemy situation not only smelled the rich fragrance emitted from the Han army camp, but also heard the neat shouts of many Han army soldiers with their own eyes, "Capture the thief camp! Annihilate the Wei dog! Take my life! Catch the thief camp! Annihilate the Wei dog! Take my life!"

These situations were reported to Qian Hong. With his rich military experience, Qian Hong, who had fought with Jiang Wei on the Longxi battlefield, immediately came up with an answer that was so correct that it could not be correct. The Han army was feasting for soldiers, either sending troops to attack his camp tonight or preparing to move south the next day to seek a decisive battle with his own army.

There was no need for anyone to make any suggestions on this, and Qian Hong immediately made an extremely correct decision, "Continue to be careful to stay cautious tonight, strengthen the camp with all his might, and be prepared to persevere. If the thief army comes to fight tomorrow, if anyone dares to fight, he will be killed immediately!"

Well, the absolutely correct tactic! Sima Laozhe and Deng Zaba used this tactic to destroy and kill Jiang Wei and Zhuge Liang! As a loyal minister of the Sima family, Qian Hong naturally had to continue to carry forward this great and glorious tactic!

Continuing to make Qian Hong and other Wei generals stunned. The next night the Han army was still silent. By the third day, the Han army still continued to strengthen the camp and did not dispatch one soldier to go south to fight! The so-called great feast for soldiers actually became a waste of food and grass.

The situation was still the same on the fourth day, but on the afternoon of the fourth day, a Sancun boatman and sailor escaped from the ferry controlled by the Han army. He reported that he heard the Han soldiers discussing, saying that Zhang Zhi had sent people to rebel against the Sancun County Magistrate, and that Sancun refused to surrender to the Han army to provide food and grass for the Han army. Therefore, the Han army was already preparing to abandon the camp and flee south, and did not dare to continue confronting the Wei army on the riverside.

After repeated interrogation and careful calculation, he found that the Han army could only get out of the predicament in this way. Qian Hong decisively asked the Wei army to strengthen its night guard again, sent a large number of soldiers out of the camp to closely monitor the Han army's journey south, ready to send troops to intercept the Han army's forces who were forced to flee south at any time, saying that he would not miss this opportunity to break the enemy.

Unfortunately, perhaps the Han army discovered that the Wei army had been fully prepared. On the fourth night and the fifth day, the Han army still had no movement and just started digging the third camp-protecting trenches. However, in the evening of the sixth day, the Han army once again exposed the fox tail, and actually grabbed the ship on the south bank of Lushui and quietly moved into the mother blood in the west - the current Longchuan River!

"The thief army is preparing to rush to build a floating bridge on the mother's blood overnight! Then sneak past the mother's blood and retreat on the west bank of the mother's blood!"

This was the unanimous conclusion of the generals of the Wei army. Qian Hong did not hesitate and immediately ordered the continued strengthening of surveillance of the Han army camp, while asking the Wei army soldiers to prepare for attacking the Han army crossing the river at any time - thus continuing to increase the consumption of food and grass, and prevent the soldiers of the Wei army from carrying dry food with them. When the war broke out, how could the Wei army soldiers have the strength to go north and rush to the Han army in a half-cross state?

It surprised Qian Hong and the Wei army soldiers again. It was still during the seventh day that they discovered that although the Han army had indeed concentrated the ships on the east bank of the mother's blood, they did not use the night to cover the pontoon bridge overnight, let alone abandoning the camp and retreating west overnight.

After careful deduction for a long time in confusion, Qian Hong came to the correct conclusion again and said: "The thief army is consuming our patience, trying to make us slack in our hearts, sloppy and prevent us, and then suddenly flee west through the bridge. Don't worry, continue to closely monitor the thief army's camp. When you find that the thief army crosses the river, attack immediately! Calculate the time, no matter how the thief army saves food and grass, it will not last for two days!"

The eighth and ninth days were the same, so I won’t go into details. It was still in the evening of the tenth day when the Wei army scout once again reported that the Han army camp continued to emit a strong and unique aroma of instant noodles. Qian Hong felt something was wrong and said in surprise: “How can the thief army still have instant noodles? Although that thing is extremely delicious, it occupies too much space. How can the thief army bring with them?”

"Master, the situation is too wrong." Du Xin also said with great caution: "For caution, we should send troops tomorrow and go north to fight in front of the bandits' camp to see what the bandits' army reacts. If the bandits' army runs out of food and grass, they will definitely not miss this opportunity to fight."

After careful consideration, Qian Hong nodded and ordered his general Jiao Chen to lead his army 3,000 north the next day to yell and yell in front of the Han army's camp gate. As a result, this move really worked. After Jiao Chen acted like this on the eleventh day, Zhang Zhi decisively sent the Han army general Wu Ma to lead the army to attack, using the elite Han army equipped with paper armor and steel-filled weapons as the vanguard, killing Jiao Chen and fleeing. Then he chased him several miles away before he stopped the army.

"It seems that the thief army is really eager to fight. Don't be afraid. Our food is saving, and we can use it for about ten days to continue to confront each other patiently."

The conclusion is still correct, but it is still slapped in the face. At noon on the twelfth day, the Han army actually released more than 50 Wei soldiers captured yesterday and returned to the camp to return to the camp. The only difference is that Qian Hong's direct army did not find a pack of instant noodles and a candy on these released Wei soldiers.

In order to understand the situation of the Han army, Qian Hong of course led the generals of the Wei army to personally interrogate the prisoners. As a result, the prisoners also honestly confessed that after being captured by the Han army on the battlefield, they were escorted to the Han army camp, they did eat the legendary instant noodles and lunch meat. Not only did they eat extremely well, but they could all eat full. Qian Hong was shocked and asked: "You are really full? The thief army has so little baggage, how could they still feed you prisoners?"

"Report to the Grandmaster, I'm really full."

The soldiers of the Wei army answered truthfully, while Du Xin quickly asked: "Why didn't the thief army give you instant noodles and candies this time?"

The released Wei soldiers finally stammered and did not dare to say anything. After Du Xin repeatedly asked, a Tianshui soldier named Wang Heng mustered up the courage and said, "Report to the general, I gave it, but it was so delicious that we couldn't help it, so we ate it all on the way."

Qian Hong opened his mouth wide, Du Xin and Yan Yu and other Wei generals were also stunned, not understanding why the Han army still had so many instant noodles, candy and lunch meat? Then after a long time, Du Xin said: "Master, the situation is not good. The reaction of the thieves' army is too strange. They are not afraid of war, but are still lenient to our prisoners, making us unable to judge their food and grass situation at all. Our food cannot last for a few days. The best way is to take advantage of the opportunity that the thieves' army is willing to fight and send troops to fight a decisive battle with them."

"What if I lose again?" asked a general of Wei army.

"We have to have a gamble." Du Xin replied: "Even if our food is used for saving, it can last for up to ten days. If we save it, our soldiers' physical strength will be more affected, and this battle will be even less likely to be fought."

After thinking for a long time with his hands behind his back, Qian Hong gritted his teeth and said, "The whole army is ready for war, and will send troops tomorrow to fight to the death with the bandit army!"

Zhang Zhi finally showed his hideous fangs. On the thirteenth day, Qian Hong personally led 18,000 Wei troops to the north and came to the Han army's camp to shout and shout outside the Han army's camp. Not only did Zhang Zhi not send troops to fight, but on the contrary, he also sent many loud Han soldiers to the edge of the camp with paper horns and shouted loudly at the Wei soldiers lined up outside the camp...

"The soldiers from Yongliang, brothers from Yizhou, you are about to lose food and will soon be hungry. Hurry up and surrender to eat instant noodles and lunch meat. We will take care of you, and then let you choose your own way out. Those who are willing to join us can stay. Those who want to go home will let you go. We will never kill you! We will never kill prisoners!"

"Brothers, don't work hard for the Wei thief anymore. Wei thief treats you soldiers as human beings. Once you die for them, your wife will be forced to remarry others by Wei thief, let other men sleep with your wife, spend the money you leave behind, beat the children you stayed behind, and will not be filial to your parents! Surrender, surrender and eat noodles and meat! We can't finish eating instant noodles and lunch meat! Our Han army will treat you as human beings!"

"Brothers, don't be afraid that your family will be implicated in the surrender. If you surrender, you can continue to serve in the army with fake names and fake hometowns, so that Wei Zhe's detailed works will not be able to find out your identity. Wei Zhe will not be able to pursue your family! Then join us in restoring Yizhou, restoring the Central Plains, and finding your family to reunite! Only when you are alive can you have hope of going back! Don't work hard for Wei Zhe!"

Thanks to the Wei army's current food supply, otherwise many Wei soldiers were really moved by the propaganda of the Han army and surrendered to the Han army under the guidance of many predecessors and pioneers. However, even so, many Wei soldiers who understood their own situation still made up their minds, that is, once the situation was not good, or if the opportunity came, they would quickly put down their weapons and surrender to the Han army to eat the legendary delicious lunch meat and instant noodles.
