At dawn the next day, Lu Fan gathered his troops and marched towards Yichun. Since the army had no food, he did not worry about making rice.

The soldiers' stomachs were originally hungry, but last night Lu Fan cooked and ate all the food in the camp in order to stabilize the morale of the soldiers. At this time, the soldiers' stomachs were even bigger, so they were even hungrier after sleeping all night.

There needs to be an explanation for the military's food shortage, otherwise something like last night would happen. Lu Fan put the blame on Zhou An and others, saying that he had been instigated by Lan Tian to rebel and deliberately threw the food into the river to damage it. Later, the incident was leaked and he resisted and was executed.

He killed them, but the food they took back was only enough for one meal last night.

If the soldiers want to eat, they can only rush to meet Zhu Huan. The other party should still have some food in stock. The most important thing is to recapture Yichun. There are rumors that the food in the city is very sufficient.

A lie requires countless lies to cover up. At this point, Lu Fan had no choice but to treat his head and feet.

Perhaps out of a desire for food, Lu Fan arrived early with tens of thousands of people, but Zhu Huan traveled lightly and did not have much food left. The chef used the small amount of food left to set up a pot and cook wild vegetable porridge to satisfy his hunger.

The wild vegetables were picked by Zhu Huan, and the rice in the pot was the kind that could be counted clearly. It only served as some decoration in the pot. The soldiers finally drank to their fill.

After the meal, there was still a glimmer of light in the sky. The hungry soldiers took the initiative to go down to the river to catch fish. The rare lucky ones did not return to the camp after catching the fish, but found a secluded place to cook it and eat it. The discipline of the entire army began to break down.

.

The generals in the army gathered in the main tent. Lu Fan originally wanted to mobilize everyone before the war, but Brother Zhu Huan threw a huge trouble, the second batch of family letters sent from Jianye.

Seeing the dense collection of letters in the basket, Lu Fan felt his scalp numb. He waved his hand to Lu Zhi and said: "Xiu Mu also has a forged family letter from Lan Tian? Shiyi, why don't you send it to me and burn it outside the tent? Don't let this kind of thing mess up."

My military spirit."

"World meeting, wait a minute." Zhu Huan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and clasped his fists with a serious face: "General Ziheng, I think these family letters should be authentic. Today Zifan (Zhu Ju) asked someone to identify the handwriting, and the result is that

Everything matches.”

Lu Fan asked sadly: "The handwriting can be forged, and Xiu Mu took the initiative to introduce rumors. Aren't you afraid that the soldiers would mutiny and cause chaos?"

"Now that the matter has been revealed, it is impossible to hide it if you want to. The general sent cavalry to bypass Yichun today and found that Xinyu in the rear has also fallen into the hands of the enemy. It is estimated that Xingan, Nanchang and other places are gone..." Zhu

Huan looked sad.

Zhu Huan's words hit the ground like a heavy hammer, and the generals in the tent were so shocked that they could not speak. Sun Song ignored Lu Fan again. He picked out the letter in the basket and watched. Quan Cong, Song Qian and other generals also followed suit.

Seeing that he could no longer stop him, Lu Fan frowned and returned to the main seat to sit down. He thought that what Zhu Huan just said was right. Now there should be no way to hide this situation. We can only work together to find a solution. At this moment, he

I actually felt a little more relaxed.

"What do we do now?"

Sun Song's hands were shaking when he took the letter. He had no idea that the rumors were true and that Jianye actually fell into the hands of the rebels.

Although I don't know if Sun Quan and Lu Xun can take it back, according to Zhu Huan's analysis just now, all parts of Yuzhang have fallen, and it has become a luxury for them to return to Jiangdong.

Lu Fan replied solemnly: "We can no longer fight with Lantian. We have to find a way to contact the king first. With the tens of thousands of people under our command, we have great hope of driving the traitors out of Jiangdong. In addition, I still have high hopes for Jianye."

I have some suspicions, maybe it’s Lan Tian’s conspiracy, and he deliberately exaggerated the situation in the rear.”

"The soldiers are hungry and exhausted, and there are no warships to travel with them. We can only fight back one city at a time. It is really difficult..." Chief Secretary Liu Dun was very pessimistic.

Lu Fan looked solemn and said helplessly: "There is no other way now. We can only take one step at a time. The scouts did not explain clearly before. Xiumu (Zhu Huan) explained the situation in Yichun in detail. Apart from Luo Tong,

We have found traitors, are there any other defensive forces?"

"I haven't found the opportunity just now. I want to report to the city defense of Yichun. Luo Tong's rebels are not worth mentioning. Lantian's enemy troops are in Yichun at this time. In addition, Ding Feng, the school captain under Dinggong (Lu Dai), is also

You rebelled." Zhu Huan's face was full of bitterness.

"What did you say?" Lu Fan almost fainted after hearing this.

"Xiumu said that the trapped troops were in Yichun? Didn't they go north to aid Guan Yu? How could they be here?" Quan Cong was also very surprised.

"If Ding Feng rebelled and appeared in Yichun, does it mean that the Wu army that entered Jiaozhou also..." Liu Dun grasped another important point, but he did not dare to draw a conclusion at this time.

"The trapped army was led by Lan Yuan, the eldest son of Lan Tian. I also saw the rebel general Ding Feng with my own eyes. It should be that Lan Tian deliberately gave false information, and then defeated Dai Liang and passed through Luling. This way everything makes sense." Zhu Huan

Shake his head slightly.

"Fake news? It's impossible." Lu Fan first asked and answered himself, and then said firmly: "We have placed a lot of details in Jiaozhou and Jingzhou. Many people have seen the trapped troops going north by boat. Otherwise, how could the king have poured out his troops?"

Move the country’s troops?”

"Perhaps Lantian is deliberately making a show?" Liu Dun put forward a hypothesis.

"Lantian!" Lu Fan gritted his teeth and punched the table.

Liu Dun followed the advice and said: "The trapped troops are fully armored infantry. They will get tired easily if they defend the city for a long time, but there is no advantage. If we forcefully bypass Yichun, we will be easily harassed, and we can no longer attack on an empty stomach. We still have a few more enemies."

A large army of ten thousand may not have a chance to seize the city, but they came in a hurry and did not prepare siege equipment. You can try to scare the defenders..."

"Scared? Could it be that Mr. Wang has forgotten Lan Ji? The second son is so brave, and the eldest son who commanded the trapped army may be even worse..." Quan Cong reminded.

Liu Dun pinched his mottled beard and shook his head, "I have a different view. The reason why Lantian handed over the enemy troops to his eldest son is that his martial arts may be weak, and he needs to use the army to boost his courage. There is often a difference between force and courage.

In connection with this, I believe that Lan Yuan’s martial arts are not very good. Tomorrow we will attack the border with a large army and try to intimidate the defenders."

"I'm afraid Mr. Ziren's analysis is wrong. Lan Yuan has a record of destroying the country in fifteen days. How can we conclude that he is weak and timid?" Zhu Huan shook his head.

Liu Dun laughed and said: "It is said that the people of Linyi are as short as black monkeys. They don't even have clothes or socks. How can they defeat the army in full armor? Gao Shun actually contributed to the destruction of the country in fifteen days. What does Lan Yuan have?

Is there a record of killing generals? That war was probably deliberately arranged by Lan Tian in order to gain fame for his son."

"Well..."

Zhu Huanxin said that you, a civil servant, actually commented on the military commander's bravery. Isn't this an amateur command and an expert? When he was about to continue to refute, he was interrupted by Lu Fan who stood up from the main seat.

Lu Fan waved his hand and said solemnly: "The situation is critical now. Let's treat the dead horse as a living Malay doctor. The generals will stabilize the battalions tonight and not cause chaos. Tomorrow the whole army will go to Yichun. If we can successfully scare away Lan Yuan, we will go directly."

The city eats meat and drinks wine, but if the younger generation resists stubbornly, they can only break into the city and eat meat and drink wine. At that time, everyone will have to rely on their own abilities."
