In the evening, Urushion finally arrived outside fat like City. After two days of marching, the Urushion was both hungry and thirsty. Although they had passed by many villages, they could not find a single grain in them. Although it was spring and the fields were lush with grass, their horses had no time to nibble at the grass.

Yang Lin's army followed closely behind Urushion like ghosts. The hundred thousand strong army was divided into three paths, left, middle and right, and followed closely behind the Urushion. Any one of the path that the army took would be able to cause the Urushion to perish.

When passing through the Lushui River, Qiu Liju was also a little hesitant. He clearly knew that if he passed through the Lushui River, he would probably never have the chance to return. However, he really had no other way out, so he could only continue forward.

But when he arrived at fat like City, he realized his mistake. Even Zhang Chun was wary of him. He had only sent his retainer, Wang Zheng, with two servants to welcome them. After crying for a long time, he was still unwilling to take out a single grain, and didn't even provide them with a tent to stay in.

"Go back and tell Zhang Chun that if he doesn't deliver the food within two hours, we will forcibly attack." Qiu Liju was too lazy to bother with him, he waved his hand and lashed out: "Scram, if you anger me, I will kill you all."

But when the moon rose, Zhang Chun did not send anyone to see Qiu Liju nor did he provide them with any food. However, his Scouting horse had come to report that he had passed through all of the Lushui River s and was heading in their direction.

"Damned Chinese, they tricked us into coming to the Youzhou, but we just ignored them!" Qiu Liju flung his horsewhip angrily and pointed at Zhang Chun who was in the camp, shouting sternly, "Masters, we don't have much time left, if we want to not starve to death, we must take down Zhang Chun's camp tonight."

"Let's do it. Other than that, we have no other way out." The leader of the Ta Wu Hu Tribe, Wu Yan, nodded his head and immediately ran back to his squad. At this point, any complaints were useless. If they couldn't take down Zhang Chun's camp, they would starve.

"Attack!" Qiu Liju shouted loudly, but his confidence was greatly lacking. Without the sack, he couldn't even pile up a hill. Pointing his horsewhip forward, the soldiers of his tribe and the Urushion of the small tribes rushed towards Zhang Chun's camp. Upon seeing this, the other large tribes also charged up with their soldiers.

Even though he was hungry, when Urushion fought, it was still as fierce as ever. Especially in this kind of life and death situation, where he didn't care about his own life. They rushed forward recklessly as the Arrows rained down on the Zhang Chun soldiers.

However, Zhang Chun was already prepared, relying on the protection of the army camp, he frantically clashed with the Urushion. Zhang Chun's soldiers were basically just refugees. They might not be able to kill the enemy, but it was not too bad for them to hide in the camp and shoot arrows.

It was not a bright night, and both sides could only vaguely see each other's figures. Although the Urushion's Arrows were powerful, its target was too big, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

"Blow the horn, stop the attack!" After fighting for an unknown amount of time, Wu Huan also wasn't able to take down Zhang Chun's camp, but he lost more than a few thousand troops in vain. Qiu Liju raised the horsewhip in his hand and ordered Wu Huan: "Bring those dead horses back, and roast the horses' meat tonight!"

Under normal circumstances, nomadic tribes like the Urushion would not kill horses for food. The horses were equivalent to their second life. The horses were shot down in the path of the charge, just in time to relieve their hunger, and Wu Huan's men swarmed forward, snatching back the dead horses and wounded horses.

What the Urushion did not expect was that when they were fighting over the horses, Zhang Chun's soldiers did not attack them. Actually, they were very hungry as well. They wanted to snatch the horse meat even more to eat. However, they did not move. Instead, they stuck their heads out under the moonlight and watched as Urushion dragged the horses away.

After Yang Lin's army passed through the Lushui River, they camped by the river and did not take another step towards the east. He knew that he shouldn't push too hard, otherwise, Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun would work together. He was like a hunter, quietly guarding by the river, waiting for Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun to kill each other.

Lushui River was a river that originated from Xu Wushan, it was a larger river. East of Lushui River, south of the Great Wall, with a radius of less than three hundred miles, there were only two cities, fat like and Lin Yu. Furthermore, Lin Yu was still being led by Guo Tong and Huo Lang to guard the dangerous pass of tombstone. In such a narrow area, even if Qiu Liju had wings, he still wouldn't be able to escape.

Spring was just at the peak of the Lushui River's water season. Whether it was the Urushion or the Han army, they all took a lot of rafts to cross the river. If Qiu Liju wanted to return now, Yang Lin would not allow him to calmly cross the river. What awaited Qiu Liju was only a dead end.

How could Qiu Liju not know about the dangers of crossing Lushui River? But for the sake of food, he had no choice but to come to fat like to take a risk. Who knew that not only did he not get any food, but he had also lost many soldiers, and he didn't even have a tent to stay in.

For the next three days, Qiu Liju ordered his Urushion to attack Zhang Chun's camp everyday, and sometimes he even rushed into Zhang Chun's camp, but he was quickly killed and sent out by Zhang Chun's servants. On the other hand, Zhang Chun's soldiers tasted the meat of the dead horses that the Urushion left behind. For a long time they had forgotten the taste of meat.

Master, we just captured a few people, they said that Zhang Chun's soldiers can only drink some wild herbs and soup every day, there are no more food left, how can they give us food? , the leader of the Setting Sun Plains, came to Qiu Liju's side and said angrily, "We can't let this continue.

"Break through to the west?" After not being able to attack Zhang Chun's camp for a few days, Qiu Liju was just feeling annoyed in his heart. He glared at Su Puyan angrily and said unhappily: "Yang Lin's army is currently waiting at the edge of the Lushui River.

"We clearly knew back then that West Liaoning was a dangerous place, why did you still bring us here?" Su Puyan was also enraged, he seemed to be pointing at Qiu Liju's nose as he roared, "You keep luring us towards a dead end, again and again, why are you doing this?"

"What are you talking about?" Qiu Liju was actually quite calm. He glanced at Su Puyan and instead calmed down: "Ever since Yang Lin took over the Luolongse and attacked our camp, we have all failed. He has over a hundred thousand cavalrymen, where should we break through his encirclement and not chase after him? Right now, the only way out is to break through Zhang Chun's camp, and use Zhang Chun's soldiers to attack Lin Yu, then we will have the chance to break out of the encirclement. "

"But can we beat Zhang Chun's camp?" Su Puyan's anger had also subsided by a lot as he said worriedly, "The soldiers go hungry every day and completely rely on their horses to satisfy their hunger. How can they still have the energy to fight? If this continues, before we can take down Zhang Chun's camp, our horses will die. "

"Since we can't beat Zhang Chun's camp, then I will send people to negotiate with Zhang Chun tomorrow. If they aren't stupid, they should know that without our help, they will die." Qiu Liju looked at Zhang Chun's camp and anger rose again: "These damn Chinese people, they have no sense of trust at all. When we get back to the desert, we will definitely deal with them. "

The quest to negotiate with Zhang Chun also fell to Yan Rou, who asked him to be a Chinese! The mission that Qiu Liju gave them was very clear. He explained the advantages and disadvantages to Zhang Chun and persuaded them to follow the Urushion and retreat into the desert.

In the morning of the second day, Yan Rou brought more than a hundred of his personal guards to Zhang Chun's camp, requesting a meeting with her majesty. Zhang Chun did not make things difficult for Yan Rou. He brought his personal guards into the camp and even invited them to a feast before negotiating with Yan Rou.

"Your Majesty, if we don't have the Urushion, how long can you last?" Yan Rou went straight to the point. Although he did not want Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju to work together, he did not dare not come here to negotiate.

"If we don't have the Wuhuan cavalry, we won't be able to persevere any longer." Zhang Chun did not keep it a secret and said straightforwardly: "That's why we cannot let Master Qiu Liju leave. We have to leave Wuhuan cavalry here with us to fight against Yang Lin's cavalry.

"Then why didn't you give us food? Do you want us to fight with Yang Lin's cavalrymen while starving ourselves? " Yan Rou was a little angry, but she did not hold back: "Initially, you could have invited Lord Qiu Liju over. Now that you're the emperors and king of peace, how can you forget your kindness?"

"Didn't we give you food? "Our soldiers starved themselves and gave you all the food they had left. You were the ones who lost it, so how can you blame us?" Zhang Chun was also enraged, he jumped up from his seat and pointed at Yan Rou as he roared. We're drinking wild herbs and watercress every day, where would we find any more food? "

"Now that we don't have any food, what do you think we should do?" Yan Rou saw that Zhang Chun had gotten angry, and could not help but snicker inside, adding fuel to the fire, "Master Qiu Liju said that you guys can't stay here anymore, why don't you follow us to the desert?"

"Follow you to the desert?" Zhang Chun was startled, and suddenly felt that this was a good idea. If Yang Lin had even defeated the Urushion, would he still be able to survive after staying in the Youzhou? " This is a good idea, but how can we break out of this encirclement? "

"Isn't that easy? Let's attack Lin Yu City together. As long as we take over the tombstone, we can leave openly. " Yan Rou glanced at Zhang Chun, and seemingly said it unintentionally: "The Luolongse has already been occupied by Yang Lin, we can only exit from the tombstone."

"Ah …" Zhang Chun immediately understood. No wonder Qiu Liju came to West Liaoning. No wonder Qiu Liju's forces were so small, he had been annihilated by Yang Lin. Cold sweat broke out on his back. The end seemed to be right in front of him.

"The danger level of the tombstone is even higher than the danger level of the Luolongse. "Qiu Liju is making me work hard for him. Even if I were to defeat the tombstone, I might only have a few people left. Should I go drink with the northwest wind in the desert?" Go back and tell Master Qiu Liju that even if we have even less food, we can still give him some to support him in attacking King's City. If he manages to clear tombstone, we will follow him to the desert. "
