Chapter 109: Searching
Zhou Yanzhi swallowed the pantothenic cake that was already a little sour in his mouth with the white porridge. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The weather in Yongzhou is hot and humid, and the cooking cakes made in the morning have already changed their flavor in the afternoon. In addition to thick meat porridge and cooking cakes, the food in the camp today is also accompanied by many buckets of snacks that Yongzhou people often use to accompany their meals.
The local recruits who had just been recruited squatted on the ground and ate them one by one, while Feng Xiang's elite pinched their noses and swallowed the sour bamboo shoots that exuded a strange taste and were cut into shreds.
Zhou Yanzhi put down the bowl in his hand, pressed the gauze on his left arm with his right hand, and gently moved his left hand.
Sharp and painful.
He couldn't help but "hiss".
Someone lifted the curtain and shouted, "Yanzhi! ”
Zhou Yanzhi raised his head. It's Shen Hu.
He followed him out of the tent and walked with him to the tent of the field reserve.
Tian Chu spread out a drawing of Yongzhou City in front of him, and was painting on it with orpiment, seeing him coming, he raised his head and asked, "Coming?" Is Nobu's hand better? ”
Zhou Yan subconsciously tightened his right hand and said, "Captain Lao has bothered, he has already taken medicine, so there won't be much of a problem in the future." ”
Shen Hu shook his head disapprovingly, and said: "This is Guangnan, you can't talk about the experience of the capital, if you don't take good care of it, you will have to suffer!" ”
"A few days ago, there was a soldier who was hit by an arrow in his foot, thinking that he was like in Fengxiang, wiped the bloodstains, applied medicine, and would be able to scab over himself in a few days. As a result, he was in unbearable pain yesterday, and ran to the military doctor, only to realize that it was all pus, and then his whole foot was useless. Shen Hu said solemnly, "You still go to the military doctor every day to have a look." ”
Zhou Yanzhi nodded hurriedly.
Tian Chu listened to their conversation on the side, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
People who stand out from the crowd can stand out no matter where they are placed. A few days ago in Guizhou, Shen Hu's perception of Zhou Yanzhi was just "the nephew of Zhou Yan, the protector of the country", and there was nothing good to say about it, and it was only a little more than a month, and he had already been treated as his own person.
This is completely Zhou Yanzhi's own earned treatment.
Tian Chu also brought a few insightful strategists and staff members with him when he went south this time, but neither they nor the deputy generals with many years of experience assigned by Zhang Qian correctly estimated the situation of Jiaozhi like this thorough newcomer in the army.
Zhou Yanzhi relied on the analysis of existing intelligence.
He compared the specific situation of cooking in his own camp, inquired in detail about the duration, location, and size of the cooking smoke in the Jiaozhi tent that the scouts had returned, and the various details that were forced out of the mouths of the prisoners, and studied the military strength of Jiaozhi in the past two years, and made a detailed report, and concluded that the Jiaozhi soldiers in the siege were about 70,000, distributed in eight camps, where the grain and grass were placed, how many cavalry there were, what was the core strength of Jiaozhi, and what proportion were the barbarian villagers who were tempted by interests to come to the war.
According to his daily updated report, he went to pursue the camp of Jiaozhi, and there were almost no mistakes.
Shen Hu assisted in managing the scout team, and with Zhou Yanzhi's information, the casualty rate of the scouts was greatly reduced, and he couldn't complain that he had a blue eye for Zhou Yanzhi.
It's just that it's just a small trick in the end. Eight hundred against seventy thousand, even if Sun Wu is reincarnated, there is no way to win Jiaozhi.
What happened in Guizhou, and why have the reinforcements not yet arrived!
Half a month has passed since the siege was near Yongzhou, and it stands to reason that even if the army is not so soon to arrive, Zhang Qian's vanguard should have arrived first.
Tian Chu could only bluff at Jiaozhi and make the illusion that reinforcements were behind him. On the other hand, he accelerated the speed of recruiting brave soldiers, trying to keep Li Changjie's army near Yongzhou as much as possible, and it was best to force him to retreat some distance.
The walls of Yongzhou have been broken, and there is no longer any need to defend them. The city had already been looted by the Jiaozhi soldiers, but fortunately, Su Ling had already burned all the baggage and grain before he took the rebellion, so that the enemy was not fattened.
There is also a fortunate thing, the vicinity of Yongzhou City is a plain, which is very convenient for cavalry. Jiaozhi's riding and archery skills were extremely poor, and he couldn't catch up with Fengxiang's elite, and because Li Changjie was worried that the army was coming, he didn't dare to let go of his hands and feet to fight, so he let his eight hundred people drag on for a long time.
He shook his head, put aside the complicated thoughts in his mind for the time being, and asked the guards at the gate to call the deputy general and join the army to come over, and everyone discussed the military situation together.
When everyone was ready, Shen Hu began to preside over the meeting, and the first one was to order Zhou Yanzhi's report on the report he presented today.
Zhou Yanzhi stood up and began to explain his plans one by one to the map of Yongzhou hanging on the wall.
The soldiers in the tent looked like they were used to it.
Fighting for power and suppressing newcomers all happen everywhere, but in this crisis, as long as you can let your subordinates live a few more, no one will have an opinion. In the past ten days, Zhou Yanzhi has used his strength to prove that according to his approach, he can indeed reduce the casualties from Fengxiang's eight hundred elites.
This time, Zhou Yanzhi's plan was to burn the tent that the Jiaozhi army had placed in the right camp to store grain. He explained the number of troops guarded, the surrounding terrain, and the number of enemy troops that could be rescued nearby.
When he finished speaking, the soldiers discussed the feasibility of this action with the information he had given.
In the city of Guizhou, Zhao Huan was furious.
"What do you mean? I came all the way to Guizhou, and you told me there was no such person?! ”
With a "snap", she smashed the teacup in her hand to the ground, the hot tea was splashed all over the ground, and porcelain pieces flew to the face of the guard standing next.
The guard who had just finished reporting the situation had a cut on his face with broken porcelain, and blood beads quickly gushed out, he didn't care about wiping it, but lowered his head even lower, and explained: "Reply to the county lord, I have already inquired around the yamen, and there is indeed no such person in the yamen at the moment." ”
Zhao Huan scolded, "Are you a fool?!" When someone says no, you believe it? Can't even send someone to keep an eye on the yamen? I don't believe that if he was really in it, he would never come out for the rest of his life? Can't you send someone in and look for it? A small Guizhou Mansion, could it be the Longtan Tiger's Den, and you can't even dare to enter it? ! ”
The guard's hand was clenched tightly, but he had to say: "Now it is the protector of the state who knows the Guizhou Mansion, he only uses the military guard for everything, the needle can't be pierced, the water can't be splashed, it's really difficult to insert people, I'm worried that if he finds out, the identity of the county lord ......."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Zhao Huan.
"I'm not raising waste! You're going to send me if you can't do it?! If this money and rice are so easy to eat, why should I spend a lot of money to provide you with it? And I have to figure out everything by myself?! ”
She raised her eyebrows and scolded her head and face, "I don't care about the rest, at this time tomorrow, I just need Shen Hu's whereabouts!" (To be continued.) )
