The invincible Liu Ziqing naturally couldn't imagine that his excellent qualities were perfectly inherited and carried forward by his subordinates. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info not only did not let the language at all, but even the momentum was too much, the key is that the other party didn't seem to think he was rude, only Liu Xiaozhong, who was standing aside, was angry and annoyed, but helpless.

Of course, there is no mouth cannon can not retreat from the enemy, let alone protect the city is not lost, the man said so, of course there will be a plan in his heart, Li Fu is convinced of this, to tolerate his rudeness, anyway, the dead horse is a live horse doctor, if in the end he can not come up with something convincing enough, and then punish the crime.

"I want to hear about it."

"Let's talk about military power first." The man was not polite, and analyzed him one by one: "There are more than 95,000 households in Luzhou, more than 193,000 in Dingkou, except for Shucheng, which was occupied by the Tartars, and Liangxian, which has not yet been taken into account, there are almost 100,000 people in the city. Among them, there are about 60,000 men, excluding the old and young, and more than 30,000 can go into battle, and they are the objects that need to be fought for, plus the defenders, at least 20,000 people must be encouraged to join the army, so as to hold on in the future defense of the city. ”

"How do you say move, forced requisition?" This number has long been in Li Fu's heart, although I don't know how the other party knows, but since he has a background from Jiankang, it must not be difficult to find.

"Without him, it's just emotion, reason, and benefit." The man shook his head: "What the Tartars did in the Anfeng Army, so it can deter people's hearts, but it is more likely to backfire, the commander does not want to surrender, once the Tartars break the city, it will be the end, as long as the people's hearts are not chaotic, it is not difficult for them to know how to choose, this depends on agitation, as for the benefit, the soldiers have food, can't it make people tempted?" ”

This practice is not unusual, with the fang as a unit, widely posted notices, beating gongs and drums to carry out propaganda, and the practice of later generations is not much different, it is still suitable for the current Luzhou city, and on the bright side, because Xia Gui died in the hands of the Tartars, it is difficult for his old department to have the will to surrender to the enemy, which is also the reason why the Xia Mansion knows that it is invincible, and still chooses to resist until the whole province is gone.

It is only now that the results are being seen, and this cause was actually planted months ago, turning Huaixi, a frontier land that had been surrendered without a fight, into the area with the most fierce resistance to the Tartars...... One of his suggestions, Li Fu did not agree or not agree, because there is another difficulty, that is, where does the food come from?

"Let's talk about food." The man obviously understood their concerns: "Although the government does not have much grain in stock, there is no shortage of grain in the hands of the people, and the Huaixi Consulate General is located in Anqing Mansion, and Gu knows that the taxes in Huaixi have not been collected." ”

This problem is a bit embarrassing, the reason is that Li Fu's control of Huaixi is not effective, all states are deliberately delaying, the tax that should have been put into the warehouse in October, has been delayed until now there is no movement, and now it is even more impossible, the Tartars obviously understand this, so the offensive will be so fierce, slaughtering the city and grabbing grain to solve the military needs by the way.

Luzhou's local grain is not abundant, as a border land, often have to rely on the imperial court to allot, this is the meaning of the existence of the commander-in-chief, now of course can not be counted on, but Li Fu sensitively heard his other meaning, this people are not ordinary people, even if they have some accumulation, their own food is still to eat, how can they take it from their mouths.

"Grain must be in our hands, so that we can achieve rational distribution." The man talked eloquently, which surprised Li Fu and had some doubts.

"How is it distributed?"

"The guards eat more, the people eat less, the young and strong men and women eat more, the old and weak women and children eat less, and even just don't die." The man's words were amazing, but the next words suddenly made Li Fu unable to refute it: "Hungry is better than eating with Yi Zi." ”

He is familiar with history books, so he naturally knows how many such examples there are in history, and how tragic the situation is, and the reason why many fortified cities will be breached in the end is not because the defenders are dead, but because they have lost their food and morale, such as the famous Suiyang City.

"Regarding this matter, there is also a case involved, Xia Shuai was stabbed that day, and I heard that it was the hand of the Tartars, and it must be no stranger to the commander." The man's words made Li Fu's heart move, and he faintly guessed a clue, so he nodded.

"The main culprit that day was personally interrogated by Li Xianggong, and the confessions involved in the assassination were all returned to the file, and one part of what I wanted to say was another." The man reached into his arms again, and this time he took out a handful of paper: "Please take a look, after reading it, you will understand what the purpose of what a certain person said." ”

These papers are without exception the confessions of the prisoners, the people involved in it are the focus of Li Fu's attention, he looked at it silently without saying a word, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he was, because the number of confessions above was as many as dozens of people, and these people are all people with heads and faces in Luzhou City, to be precise, they are not businessmen, or gentry, or both, and these people have been asking him to give up resistance a few days ago, after turning the last page, he didn't even read the content, only glanced at the name, and laughed out loud.

"It's so calculated, it's really a good calculation." For his reaction, Liu Xiaozhong, the commander on the side, was surprised, he had never seen Li Fu so out of shape, even if he was besieged by the Tartar army.

The man is still the expression of displeasure and anger, quietly waiting for his decision, he knows that the other party said this sentence, not referring to those people on the paper, but even if he guessed something, now there is no meaning, I believe that with Li Fu's IQ is not in such a situation, stupid enough to refuse this gift.

Sure enough, Li Fu shook his head after laughing, the matter has long been a foregone conclusion, he is still the beneficiary, if the other party does not hand over these papers, he has no way, now those people hold the handle in his hands, if they do not do it, it is the sin of raiding the house, if they don't want to make a big move, then they will have to pay the corresponding price, what is this price? Do you need to say it?

"You bring someone to invite all these people, just say that Ben Shuai has something to discuss with them, and if you don't want to come, you can take it directly, seal the mansion and arrest people, and all of them will be put in prison, and those who resist will be killed on the spot, and the crime will be announced to the public, Ben Shuai wants to see what kind of face they have to make someone sacrifice this Luzhou City."

This kind of rough work will naturally be handed over to Liu Xiaozhong to do, and when the latter excitedly receives the order to leave the house, Li Fu's face has returned to calm, since the other party has done such a big favor and solved the problem of defending the city that he can't think of, then there is no need to worry about other things.

"How do the five of you help Ben Shuai?" The problem is back to square one.

"Well, don't hide it, if it's about martial arts, you may not be able to hold a pillar of incense in front of Liu Dutong." The man scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "But our role is not like this, to put it simply, a certain person by the side of the commander is equivalent to an extra pair of eyes, which can allow you to casually understand the battle situation of each gate, the movement of the enemy army, and so on." ”

"Just outside the city, every move of the Tartar is under the control of so-and-so." In the other party's surprised eyes, he took out a thing from his arms for the third time, pressed a red button in front of Li Fu, and after a while, a clear voice came from the box.

"There is a new team of 10,000 people in the Tartars outside the east gate, and since yesterday they have been driving the people and helping them to make siege equipment, and they have completed hundreds of ladders, more than ten masked cars, and a few catapults.

"Very well, keep monitoring, finish speaking."

The man replied simply, and cut off the communication, everything he saw in front of him, so that Li Fu was already speechless, but fortunately, he understood that this was something that he had, so he was not too moved.

"This thing can't ...... Teleport? After enduring it for a long time, I still asked.

"Exactly, although there are only five people in the city, but there are no less than twenty people outside the city, they will keep an eye on the Tartars day and night, and we can know if there is any disturbance, so can the commander have confidence in defending the city?"

Li Fu has not recovered from the surprise, there is no joy after mastering the black technology, the other party confessed all this to him, in order to increase his confidence, which he still knows.

Of course, the man would not tell him that in order to achieve this, the owner went to Guangxi without even bringing a single personal soldier, and the spy network composed of more than 400 people was still overstretched on such a vast front, and in order to prevent Luzhou from falling prematurely, there were nearly 30 people on this point alone, so you can imagine how important this place is.

"I'm afraid the Tartars won't give us time."

"Otherwise, Ta Out has already learned the tenacity of our army in Anfeng, and in the face of a fortified city like Luzhou, and there are more than 10,000 defenders, he will try to go down without a fight anyway, otherwise he will not send a messenger to persuade him to surrender at all. At the same time, such a large city is across the river, to complete the encirclement posture, to prepare for the siege, at least three days or more, we wait, there should be five days available, how to use it depends on the commander. ”

"If the commander has the heart, it is not impossible to extend this time for a few more days." After the man finished speaking, he added, Li Fu thought about it, and suddenly thought of something.

"You mean a swindle?"

"Almost, looking for a dead man, who has a flexible mind and can speak well, and has a lot of pickiness with the Tartar in the name of negotiation, and constantly puts forward some conditions that are difficult for him to decide, so it is possible to drag it on for seven or eight days."

Li Fu's eyes lit up when he heard it, although he acted normally, but he was not a stubborn person, he really felt more and more that this plan was feasible, left and right to deal with the enemy, not so much morality at all, thought for a while, and suddenly smiled.

"Your host, is this how you keep Jiankang City?"

"Where, such a sub-scheme, our owner doesn't bother to do it at all." Unexpectedly, the other party was arrogant and blocked him back.

"When you say this, Ben Shuai has some confidence, but why should it take half a year, will there be reinforcements coming?" Li Fu was not angry, but felt funny.

"If there is no hope, we will not fall into the ground." The man nodded: "But it is not an overnight achievement to break the enemy, we are waiting for the stubborn stone, first grind away the sharp spirit of the Tartars, and when they can't hold their breath and begin to divide their troops to plunder the land, our opportunity will come." ”

Although he didn't say where the reinforcements came from, and didn't mention how to come to help, Li Fu still heard some meaning, to say that there are still mobile forces in the land of Lianghuai, the first to recommend the Li Xianggong who sat in Jiankang, so I thought about it, and I had more confidence in my heart, even if I had the will to die, I heard the news that I could still survive, and I would always give people strength, and he was of course no exception.

At present, it is still too early to consider the reinforcements, and the top priority is how to use these rare days, like the Tartars outside the city, to make full preparations, is the key to the success of the defense of the city, the other party has handed over the bottom to him, but the matter still has to be done by himself, from now on, every hour is the key.

So, from the night of this day, the whole city of Luzhou entered a state of tension, all kinds of voices were noisy, the whole city was mobilized, and a large number of young people were conscripted into the army and became part of the defenders. All the defenders rematched according to the ratio of the old and the new, and practiced non-stop, familiarized themselves with weapons and guards, understood the methods and essentials of defense, and the man brought people with him, and taught them the experience of building a healthy city one by one, logistics support, food rationing, medical system...... These things, which have been carefully delineated and strengthened on the basis of the original, will have an immeasurable impact on future wars.

In this strong atmosphere of preparation, all opposition was suppressed, and in order to alleviate their guilt, the rich merchants who were on the list had to come up with enough to get out, and their goods were of no use, and the grain they collected became part of the treasury, plus some other measures.

There is another paragraph, which will be made up later......

"The preparation in the city is insufficient, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses, the grain and grass can last for about two months, and only the ordnance is enough, is it right?"

Li Fu was suddenly taken aback, he always thought that only a few people knew about all this, and the other party came when he opened his mouth, which can only show that people have been staring at him for a day or two, this Liu Ziqing, what do you want to do?

The man was right, his preparations have been done, but he didn't expect that the Tartars would hit the city of Luzhou in such a short time, so even the grain and grass in Luzhou did not have time to be transported to the Zhishu, which is enough to kill the city, after some expansion, the soldiers trained for one to two months can be close to 10,000 people, to hold such a large land and a state city, it is really a little stretched.

But there are also favorable conditions in Luzhou, first of all, the city wall is strong enough, here is Xia Gui's lair, although he has been a little tired since then, but he has not slackened in defense, the city wall has been constantly reinforced, the guard is even more crowned, ordnance and other things are piled up in the warehouse, the only thing missing is people.

"So in the heart of the commander, this city can be guaranteed for two to three months, which is the limit, I don't know if it is or not?"

This time the man did not guess correctly, although Li Fu has the determination to die with the city, but for how long he can defend, he is not very sure, the Tartar soldiers are very prosperous, and they are also very good, he does not dare to guarantee that the defenders will collapse overnight, after all, the time given to him is too short, and there is no complete here.

"That's why they entered the city." The man ignored the other party's somewhat gloomy expression, and said to himself: "Extend this period a little, let the Tartar army be defeated under this Luzhou city, and no longer regard the Great Song Dynasty as nothing, that's all." ”

"How long?" Li Fu subconsciously opened his mouth and asked.

"At least half a year."

A few very simple words, in Li Fu's opinion, it is almost the same as the dream language, this is only at least? If it is really like what the other party said, there are only five of them, even if they are all one against a hundred, it will not play any role, because the Tartar army surrounding Luzhou City is more than 100,000 people, then the question is, why did he speak wildly and take it for granted?

The man calmly let them look at it, and even Liu Xiaozhong was surprised by the unfeigned expression, Li Fu didn't know whether he should be angry or what, what he needs now is not this kind of unnutritious empty talk, but real help, whether it is grain and grass or personnel, but the other party can give it?

Half...... It was a period he didn't dare to think about, even if the Tartars were exchanged, they would be able to fight all the defenders here in less than three months, and in the city, there may not be the determination to fight to the death, which is already very clear from the Tartars entering the territory of Luzhou, there are a lot of people who think like Shucheng County, most of them are people with identity in this city, this kind of people are the cornerstone of the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, and their words even Li Fu can not be ignored as the commander, these people are fortunate not to lag behind, do you still expect them to work hard? Joke.

Joke.

"Why?" But where can Li Fu laugh now.

"Because that's how Jiankang City was guarded." The man made up for it in a hurry: "300,000 people can't beat Jiankang City, and 120,000 people can't take Luzhou, and our owner never lies." ”

It's still that Liu Ziqing!
