Under Fang Fu's strong arrangement, their people withdrew from the front line originally facing Xiazhou people from south to north.
And at the same time.
From within Dongzhou, a team of people was also sent to search from north to south.
These Japanese have nowhere to hide.
Although these Japanese were quite powerful in their sneak attacks at night, they also faced a shortage of food and grass after they penetrated deep into Dongzhou.
They did not have Xiazhou's supply of food and grass.
In addition, when they entered Dongzhou during this period, the Japanese's own supply line, which they had finally established, was also interrupted.
They had no choice but to burn, kill and loot along the way.
When I first started, I didn’t have to worry about eating or drinking.
After all, at this time, most of the people in Dongzhou have not yet reacted.
But when we got to the back, everyone in Dongzhou also knew that several groups of Japanese people had come in.
After hearing about the burning, killing, and looting of these Japanese people, they fled north with food and money in advance and took refuge in some cities.
When the Japanese went into some villages, there was no one there at all.
As for the larger cities in Dongzhou, they did not dare to attack them at all.
They were originally scattered, but if they really attacked these cities, for them, it would basically be death.
We finally found a landlord's compound before, but after we separated several groups and went there, there was no news from behind.
That's not all.
I don't know why, but recently the people from Dongzhou have launched a campaign against them. They were already so hungry that they had no energy left.
In the past, I would hide in the woods to rest during the day and only dare to come out at night.
But now it's not enough to hide in the woods during the day.
The people from Dongzhou basically followed the footprints. The Japanese people walked with bowed legs.
The footprints on the ground all have the same facial expressions, which are completely different from the people in Daxia, so they are easy to distinguish.
Once you find a Japanese hiding in a forest, set it on fire.
A fire was set around the forest, and soon the Japanese inside were burned and rushed out screaming.
The Dongzhou men and horses outside were already ready. A round of bows and arrows passed by and they were all knocked down.
Those hiding in the woods were either burned to death, smoked to death, or shot to death with bows and arrows. Their poisonous darts and poisonous needles were of no use at all.
When they got to the back, they didn't dare to hide in the woods anymore, and simply went to the village.
But as long as they are exposed now, they will inevitably be surrounded and killed in the end.
…
Sunan County.
"This is wrong!"
"Why haven't these troops moved forward in these days?!"
"This is so abnormal!"
"Is there something wrong with the intelligence, or what?"
Fang Fu was standing in front of the map and said in confusion.
Xiazhou's troops, which were originally unstoppable, have stopped on several roads recently.
Fang Fu was puzzled and worried that this was some kind of conspiracy by the Xiazhou people, but he couldn't figure it out after much deliberation. There was no other explanation other than a lack of food and grass.
But it shouldn’t stop for some and not for others.
"grown ups!"
"The latest news from the front is that those troops have indeed stopped where they were."
"They are raising food from everywhere, but they have no intention of attacking in a hurry."
A general came in and said to Fang Fu.
"That's strange."
"Are you going to have a stalemate with us again?"
"What's in it for them?"
Fang Fu couldn't figure it out.
"grown ups!"
"It is understood that the reason why these people stopped seems to be because of the Zhengbao Bank in Dongzhou. Many people say that it was precisely because Zhengbao Bank sent money and food that the Xiazhou people stopped. .”
The general said to Fang Fu.
"What?!"
"Zheng Bao Bank?!"
Fang Fu was very surprised.
He naturally knew that Zhang Bao must have done something behind this. After Zhang Bao came in a hurry before, he left in a hurry after giving him instructions.
The direction of departure is exactly the direction where Zheng Bao Bank is located.
At that time, Zhang Bao casually said that he had a way to stop Xiazhou's troops, but Fang Fu didn't take it to heart.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Bao actually did it.
Although there are still many Xiazhou troops who have not stopped, this way, at least they will have internal conflicts, and when they counterattack in the future, the pressure will be much less.
Fang Fu finally felt at ease now.
"What's the situation with the Japanese in Dongzhou now?"
Fang Fu asked the general.
"They have been trapped within Haiyang County, Donghai County, and Shengping County. They cannot escape!"
The general pointed at Fang Fu on the map.
"Order!"
"Within ten days, wipe out all these Japanese!"
"Everyone regroup and prepare for counterattack!"
Fang Fu said coldly.
…
Hezhou.
"How dare you split into three groups to deal with us?"
"Do they really think they can withstand us every step of the way?"
"There are actually fewer people this time. There is no need to think about it. It must be a feint attack!"
Fan Hanzhong looked at the message in his hand.
Ten days ago, Liu Xiu's 150,000 men and horses in Xiazhou prepared food and grass and came towards Hezhou with great fanfare.
Fan Hanzhong did not act in a hurry, but waited for work, set up the formation and waited.
And at the same time.
Two more groups of troops borrowed roads from Shaanzhou and Jezhou and attacked Hezhou.
"General, our side is probably going to be an offensive and defensive battle to test each other, but judging from their news, it seems that the people from Jeju are the main force."
"I'm more worried that there will be problems in Shaanzhou and Jeju."
"Previously, although they used water nets to block Cao Kang's troops from Shaanzhou, it is winter now and the river is probably frozen, so there is no way to stop them."
"The number of people here in Jeju is relatively small, and Jeju is not completely our place yet. I'm afraid there will be problems."
A general said to Fan Hanzhong.
"Something went wrong?"
"Won't!"
"Do you think we, Zhangzhou Mu, ran to Dongzhou on our own without any preparation?"
"You know, Hezhou now has a capital city, and to put it bluntly, Zhang Zhoumu's wife is about to give birth. Can he not be prepared?"
"We, Zhangzhou Mu, have many tricks up our sleeves!"
"When he goes to war, he will never compete with you in terms of numbers."
"It's terrible to be an enemy of our Zhangzhou Mu..."
Fan Hanzhong grinned.
"ah?"
"Can this still happen?"
Several people around were a little surprised.
"That's natural, just wait and see."
"Now our problem is, how can we make Liu Xiu and his 150,000 troops go from a fake attack to a real attack, from a feint attack to a deep attack, so that we can eat away at their men as much as possible!"
Fan Hanzhong looked at the map, touched his chin and said.
