Chapter 1084: East Becomes West (77)
A bowl of millet porridge with minced meat was slowly poured down, and Lu Ting let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.
"Wake up, wake up!" There was a cry of surprise in my ears.
"Lu Xianling is hungry, his body is too weak, as long as he takes care of it for a few days, he will naturally recover." A military doctor once again called for Lu Ting's pulse, straightened up, and his expression relaxed.
"It's okay." Qin Lei walked over with a smile on his face, he was not familiar with Lu Ting before, but in the past six months, he has gotten along with this young county commander day and night, but he has also developed a lot of feelings, and he really admires this county commander who looks extremely cowardly on the outside but is extremely strong in his heart, and he really admires it in his heart.
Lu Ting looked at the few people beside the bed, sat up from the bed with both hands, and said embarrassedly: "It's really ugly, I fainted with joy when I saw us win."
"You didn't faint with joy, you fainted with hunger." After Qin Lei waited for a few tall figures, a crisp voice came, Lu Ting was very curious in his heart, why is there a woman here?
Footsteps sounded, the woman who had just spoken came over, Qin Lei and the others dodged a passage, Lu Ting raised his eyes, and a hideous devil mask suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, Lu Ting's eyes suddenly straightened, and he made a sigh in his throat, and his body fell straight backwards, and he fell on the bed with a bang, his eyes rolled up, and he was so frightened that he fainted again.
Everyone was stunned, when he was in a coma in Lu Pavilion before, Qin Lei was not stingy with praise for this county order, describing him as a rare good official in the world, a capable and courageous official, where did everyone think that Gu Li's ghost mask could scare him and faint again.
Gu Li also stopped in amazement, and after a while, he laughed, turned around, and walked out, "I was hungry and faint before, but this time I was scared."
Except for the military doctor who hurriedly pinched people, shook his body, and shouted loudly, the other generals in the room all laughed loudly, only Qin Lei, an old face flushed, looking at Lu Ting, he was really angry. Lu Ting cooperated with himself this time and defended Hecheng, the King of Han has already ordered to bring it over, summoning himself and Lu Ting into Jicheng, this is an extremely rare opportunity for Lu Ting, a young man, as long as he deals with it properly, plus this credit, it is appropriate for Qingyun to go straight up, but if this matter reaches the ears of the king, is it okay for him? The king was born as a military general, but I'm afraid that the most hated person is the cowardly.
The rest of Hecheng survived, but they did not relax because of the arrival of reinforcements, you know, around them, there are still the forces of the Zhao army, they are surrounded by the situation of being surrounded on all sides has not changed, but the strength has been further strengthened, and with Gu Liye Feng they broke the Zhao army opposite Hecheng, and also captured more food, so that Hecheng has no food crisis for the time being.
Of course, it was only temporary, the daily consumption of the five thousand cavalry brought by Gu Li was extremely amazing, and they naturally couldn't sit on the mountain or defend the crane city.
After lunch, all the generals gathered together to discuss the next move, in order to cooperate with the strategy of the commander of Dongye He Lanxiong for the entire Dai County, Lu Ting, who was frightened in the morning, changed into a clean official uniform and appeared in the council hall, but he sat far away from Gu Li, and glanced at it secretly from time to time, and the look on his face was still terrifying. His appearance made Gu Li and Ye Feng extremely curious, this person was really strange, he was not afraid of death in the face of a desperate situation, and at the last moment, he could prompt Qin Lei to lead all the troops to make a mortal blow, but now that he was safe, a small mask actually made him cringe.
"The cavalry under my command naturally can't stay in the city, and only when the cavalry moves, can they give the enemy the greatest deterrence and threat, so I will lead my troops to wander outside, and I will give the enemy a hard blow when the time comes, so the defense of this crane city can only be entrusted to you." Guli bowed her hand to the others.
"When the cavalry goes out, I wonder if there is enough food and grass?" To everyone's surprise, the person who spoke was actually Lu Ting. He stood up, his eyes still twinkling.
Gu Li was also quite surprised, and glanced up at Lu Ting, who was immediately three points shorter.
"Lu County has a heart, we only need to carry three days' rations, in this generation of the county, there are so many Zhao military camps, and they always have logistics and transportation, I don't worry about not having the opportunity to grab food." Guli Dao.
Qin Lei also stood up, "At the beginning, Nanzhang surrendered to the Qin army under the shouting of the young prince, and all the more than 20,000 generations of county soldiers in Nanzhang were disarmed and returned to the field, one of them was conscripted by the Qin army as husband service, and the other returned to the township, I am ready to go out, as long as the banner is raised, I can naturally gather a group of these soldiers, no matter how many can be gathered, it is always a help."
Gu Li nodded slightly, "This is indeed what should be done, if we can gather another group of infantry in Hecheng, then the threat to the Zhao army will be greater, but in this case, who will defend the city?"
Ye Feng spread his hands, "Both of you have to go out, then the task of defending the city can only be handed over to me to guard, Lu County Order, and then we will cooperate together."
"I don't understand how to fight, but in terms of logistics planning, Master Ye can rest assured and leave it to me." Lu Ting nodded hurriedly.
After only staying in Hecheng for a short day, replenishing some food and water, and leaving the wounded soldiers in Hecheng to recuperate, they spurred their horses away, and their next task was to stir up trouble in Daijun.
In Nanzhang City, the guard general Zhang Ming's face turned blue, one hand was an order sent by Li Mingjun from Xiling City, the capital of Dai County, asking him to immediately deploy troops and be sure to wipe out this group of Han cavalry that rushed in, and in the other hand, he was holding an urgent document from the following counties in Nanzhang.
"you." Zhang Ping slammed the emergency document in his hand on the table, "Suddenly in the east, suddenly in the west, at the same time, there were Han cavalry in both places, and the number reached thousands, could it be that the generals of the Han army would still scatter beans into soldiers, these useless things, left and right are just seeing the scouts of the Han army or a small group of troops."
"General, regardless of whether these counties are lying about the military situation or not, but the cavalry of the Han army, which has as many as 5,000 people, is indeed wandering in Daijun, and we have several grain transportation teams that have been robbed by them, and if this continues, the garrisons in each county will even have a problem with food!" An official said.
"How did I not know that they had to be exterminated, but how could I? General Li did send me 3,000 cavalry, but with the 1,000 cavalry I have here, there are 4,000 cavalry in total, and how many opponents are there, 5,000 people, and 5,000 Hun cavalry, even if I block them, how can I fight them?" Zhang Ping was furious. It's a fucking cavalry, cavalrymen who come and go like the wind, and I can't accurately catch their tracks, and I don't even have to fight."
"But since General Li has already given the death order, if he doesn't do it, I'm afraid he will be blamed."
Hearing the words of the next person, Zhang Ping was deflated all of a sudden, "This Daijun has never surrendered to Da Zhao, this was the case during the Zilan period, and it was even more so later, the Han army is bound to win Daijun, with our current strength, it is impossible to compete with the Han army, so why bother to spend with them in Daijun, it is better to give up Daijun to them, shrink the strength to keep Shanggu, Hedong, Jinyang, and if this continues, tens of thousands of soldiers in Daijun will be lost here."
"It's something that can't be done. I heard that Lord Zhao has gone to Hangu Pass, and wants to ask the Qin people to send troops to help us defend, Zhou Changshou and they can invite the Han army, can't we invite the Qin army?"
"Can this compare?" Zhang Ping glared at him, "The Han State is now in power, and the upper and lower countries are united, and what about the Qin State, King Wulie of Qin is dying, the new monarch has just ascended the throne, and he is concentrating on the major forces in the country, and the army is even more unstable, Li Xin, Wang Xiao died, Wang Jian is missing, Meng Tian died unclearly, it is actually Lu Chao who controls the army of Qin, Zhou Yu, these Yan people, except for Lu Chao, can Zhou Yu Tanfeng be convinced?" At this time, the Qin people dare to send troops? What worries me the most is that the Qin people are completely holding us in the way of blocking the Han army for them, giving them a chance to breathe."
"So what can we do?" The man below sighed, "It's just a day. What is going on, how can we control it?"
Zhang Ping complained for a while, but he still stood in front of the map, complaining and complaining, but things still have to be done, everyone is now a grasshopper on a line, one is prosperous, one is lost, I can't run you, and I can't jump on me.
"The order was given to all the counties and the garrisons of each county to be sent out, and to slowly close inward along this line, remembering, be sure to bring more chariots, crossbows, and bows and arrows, and it is better to be slow than to rush. As long as they can stabilize the battle, the Huns will not attack the well-defended infantry positions too much, and we will slowly reduce their space for movement, and I, with four thousand cavalry, will look for their main force."
"General Zhang, didn't you say earlier that our cavalry is not their opponent?"
"It's true that I am no match for them, but the routes I have chosen are close to our infantry or the walls, and I hope that we will not go to them, but they will come to us. In this way, we can still rely on infantry, cities and other terrain advantages to compete with them, and I really haven't thought about annihilating the opponent, but we can weaken the opponent and reduce their destructive power, and this is the limit of what I can do." Zhang Ping sighed lightly, "The building is about to fall, how can manpower return to the sky?"
