"There is a shortage of water in the city?" Sima Yue stared at Wang Yan with an ugly expression.

Wang Yan looked a little panicked: "Yes! The Hulu had cut off the corridor for our army to get water. Our army could not get close to the water source. The drinking water of tens of thousands of troops could only be provided by a few wells in the city... Many soldiers were already thirsty and ate snow directly, and the quarrels caused by fighting for water sources were continuous. If this continues, I am afraid that before the Hu people attack, the various troops would kill each other for a well!"

Sima Yue was very upset: "Why did you only discover such an important thing until now? Why did you retreat into the Iron Gate Pass for so long? Now you find that the water source has been cut off. What are those generals doing for food!"

Wang Yan smiled bitterly: "At that time, everyone was panicked, and they didn't want to take care of the water source!"

Sima Yue couldn't help but swear a few times. With his identity, swearing is a very rude thing. If it is spread, it might be ridiculed. But now he is really angry and can't control himself at all. Nothing has been going well in the past few days. In front of him, the Huns and Han army were eyeing him, and behind him, Gou Xi, a mad dog, was about to explode his chrysanthemums. Not many of the generals under his command could share his worries. He was really annoyed!

It is a terrible thing for the army to be cut off from water. The army can hold on for a long time after the food is cut off, but if the water source is cut off, the corpses will be everywhere in just a few days. It can be said that from the moment the water source is cut off, the countdown of the demise of an army has entered. However, what Sima Yue is most worried about now is not that the water source is cut off, but...

"I don't know where that mad dog is now!" he said, "I am trapped in the iron gate. If that mad dog knows, I'm afraid I'll be so happy, right?"

Wang Yan was also worried: "Gou Xi is narrow-minded and bloodthirsty. If he is allowed to enter Luoyang, our family will be in danger!"

Sima Yue said: "Yes, if we cannot break through the siege and return to Luoyang as soon as possible, we will die without a burial place... Alas, is it really God who wants to destroy me?"

He is not worried about any water source now. Although the corridor for the water supply has been cut off, aren’t there still several wells in the city? Besides, there have been several heavy snow in the past few days, and a thick layer has accumulated on the ground. He heated the snow and melted it and you can get water. The water source was cut off, but it is not fatal in a short period of time. The real fatal one is Gou Xi’s army! He decided not to think about any water source, seize the time to restore order to the chaotic army, and then organize a breakthrough, and must return to Luoyang as soon as possible regardless of everything!

However, the plan is perfect and the first step won't work.

If the Jin army calmed down as soon as they encountered the attack of Jiehu cavalry and organized a powerful cavalry to repel it, it would not be difficult for them to escape. They were not without the power of fighting. This Jin army did not lack cavalry. The Wuhuan cavalry, the garrisons in the imperial guards, the Hu cavalry and the cavalry provided by various powerful men, totaling more than 10,000 people. Among them, there were as many as 5,000 heavy cavalry that could be used to face the head-on with the Jiehu cavalry. This was a powerful force. As long as they calmed down and gathered these scattered cavalry forces to launch a counterattack, no matter how crazy Shi Le was, he would not dare to think that the eight thousand Jiehu cavalry could withstand the fierce attack of the Jin army's iron cavalry alone, and he would probably still run away.

However, once and for a while, the Jin army has been surrounded for a day and a night. Due to the overcrowding of Tiemen Pass, shortage of food and water, etc., they are still panicked. The most fatal thing is that when they fled into Tiemen Pass, most of the troops ran away. The soldiers could not find generals, and the soldiers could not find soldiers. One song could find faces of several songs, which made people look overwhelmed. In this case, it was difficult for the Jin army to exert combat effectiveness. What's even more fatal is that a large number of Hu cavalry were coming from all directions to join.

Go to the siege of the siege. There are 70,000 Jin troops in the encirclement. This is a piece of fat. If they can be wiped out, how many weapons and materials can be seized and how many horses and armor can be obtained? These are priceless treasures for the Zahu! Before, Liu Cong ordered that he should not pursue Sima Yue's army before, so everyone could only hold back. But seeing that Shi Le completely ignored Liu Cong's orders and brought thousands of cavalry to surround Sima Yue, everyone could not hold back. Such a piece of fat could not be eaten by Shi Le alone!

In just one day and one night, the Jiehu people siege the city increased from 8,000 to 20,000, and it was still increasing rapidly, and the difficulty of the Jin army breaking through was increasing dramatically.

Such a big move could not be hidden from Liu Cong. After learning that Shi Le ignored his orders and led the elite Jiehu cavalry to besiege Sima Yue's troops, he was furious: "Shi Jilong dared to openly disobey my orders. This is not taking me seriously! It's really hateful!"

Liu Jing said gloomyly: "Shi Jilong relied on his merits, always arrogant and rebellious, and disobeyed His Majesty's orders. He is really an unfamiliar wolf!"

Liu Cong said angrily: "Don't say he is a wolf, even if he is a tiger, he must lie down honestly for me! He will send an order to withdraw his troops immediately and not pursue Sima Yue's army!"

Hu Yanyan said: "Shi Jilong hated the Sima family to the core. He was determined to kill the Sima family kings and crush them to ashes. Now he has surrounded the Sima Yue army and wants him to stop, but he may not listen!"

Liu Cong naturally knew that Shi Le might not be able to listen, and it was because of his knowledge that he became more and more annoyed.

Still the same sentence, Shi Le and Wang Mi, as well as many generals such as the Qiang, Di, Xianbei, and Wuhuan tribes, were not subordinates to the Huns, but shareholders. They were forced to survive by the Western Jin Dynasty, and at the same time they admired Liu Yuan's character and reputation. They gathered under the anti-Jin banner held high by Liu Yuan, obeying Liu Yuan's orders to deal with the Western Jin Dynasty together, and the tribes they brought were capital to invest. Not only these outsiders, but also a bunch of such shareholders existed within the Huns.

When they were still here, everyone was willing to obey his orders out of respect for him and attack him wherever he pointed. But now Liu Yuan is gone, Liu Cong's reputation and ability are far less powerful than Liu Yuan's, and these shareholders are beginning to disobey. For example, Shi Le, Liu Cong clearly ordered that the army should not be pursued by Sima Yue's army and let this army go back to Luoyang to bite the dog with Gou Xidog, but he just didn't listen. He turned around and chased after him with eight thousand elite cavalry! His movements could not be suppressed and joined them one after another, and the plan was completely ruined!

Liu Cong just felt that he was embarrassed, really, very shameless!

But he had no choice but to command Shi Le, and even more so the Miscellaneous Hus who depended on Shi Le. The smart thing about Shi Le is that he does not look at bloodline or relatives. As long as he is willing to join the Jie family, you will be a Jie people from now on. The land of Northern China is now full of Miscellaneous Hus, clusters of clumps, and all kinds of varieties. Naturally, they also hope to join a powerful tribe, which can not only be protected from the attacks of powerful tribes around, but also robbed around with the power of the tribe to obtain a large number of urgently needed supplies for survival. However, it is not easy to join a powerful tribe. The Huns pay attention to bloodline, and they don’t know where to find a corner of Miscellaneous Hus that emerge from the corner.

They are not close to the Huns, and they are not valued even if they defect to the Huns, and it is highly likely that they will be used as cannon fodder. The Xianbei people also look down on them, and they are the five scoundrels of war. Our Xianbei people have accepted the sinicization for decades, and have mixed up with these ignorant and ignorant Huns, and they will lose their price! After searching for them, only Shi Le is willing to accept them and treat them equally. This simple and crude policy made the Jie people grow bigger and bigger like a snowball, and from the beginning the weak tribe with a population of only tens of thousands to a huge force with hundreds of thousands. Although they are all standing under the banner of the Huns and Han countries, those Huns are more willing to obey Shi Le's command. Liu Cong, the emperor of the Huns, could not command them!

Now Shi Le brought those gangs of Zahu who were willing to obey his orders and disobeyed Liu Cong's orders to pursue Sima Yue's army, which made Liu Cong very angry!

Liu Yao said: "Your Majesty, give me ten thousand iron cavalry, I will go to the Iron Gate Pass in person. Shi Jilong is disobedient, so I will beat him until he is obedient!"

Liu Cong glanced at him coldly: "Do you want the Jin people to laugh at us? I have tried my best to provoke an internal fight between the Jin people and let them consume the last elite in the internal fight, rather than the fight between us, the Huns and Han people, and let the Jin people laugh!"

Liu Yao said irritably: "Then we can't do anything about that Mishu leader? Why can he be unscrupulous, but we are afraid of the mouse everywhere?"

Liu Cong had a dark face and didn't speak, and secretly made up his mind: Even if he passed the throne to a little baby who was less than a hundred days, he could not pass it to Liu Yao!

This guy has muscles in his skull cavity and doesn’t have a brain at all!

Zhu Dan said calmly: "Your Majesty has repeatedly used tricks to provoke internal struggles among the Jin people and consume the last elite of the Jin army? If Shi Jilong can eliminate Sima Yue's army at Tiemen Pass, this goal will also be achieved."

Liu Cong asked: "What if he can't do it?"

Zhu Dan said: "That is the strength of the Jie clan."

I didn't explain it much, because Liu Cong is a smart person, and there is no need to say that he can speak to smart people so clearly.

Liu Cong's face suddenly turned dark and he said, "Very good! Immediately send someone to the front line to express condolences to General Shi, encourage him to make sure that he must wipe out Sima Yue's army in one battle. I am waiting for his good news in Mianchi!"

The implication is that you, Shi Le, like to fight, right? Then you fight, let go and fight, I don’t care, but don’t expect to get any form of support from me!
