Chapter 1375: Han Banner World (65) will never admit defeat
Wulong City was taken, and the soldiers of Yin Wrong cheered and rushed into the city along the wide open city gate, and soon, the city head was full of soldiers, they quickly extinguished the fire that was raging above the city tower, and then stood on the city wall in rows to celebrate the victory, more soldiers poured in, and some of the places where the fire broke out in the city quickly turned into curling black smoke, and the pillars of smoke went straight up to the clear sky, covering the bright sun.
Tan Feng did not enter the city, but sat on the ground a little demented, looking at the Wulong County City not far away in a daze, Wulong was taken, and Tai'an was also taken, but without Yingchuan County, which he had worked hard to camp for many years, to support his transformation of these two counties, how could he gain a foothold?
What's more, will Gao Yuan give himself another five years to change these two places calmly? It's impossible, even if Gao Yuan doesn't attack, that Lu Chao will tolerate himself entrenched here? It's also impossible, if he has the rich Yingchuan County as a backing, he is not afraid of him, but now, how can the two ruined counties with withered people's livelihood afford to support their tens of thousands of soldiers?
They have been raised by themselves in the past few years, but they are not the former Qin army, and giving a pitiful salary, plus three full meals a day and an illusory prospect can inspire them to work hard in the former Qin army. This army was raised on silver, and after that, more silver was needed to support them.
From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift!
Suddenly, Tan Feng understood why Gao Yuan was in such a strong situation, but he didn't attack the Qin State in a hurry, because it really costs money to fight, and it really costs money to raise soldiers! It's not that Gao Yuan doesn't want to rush to take Qin, but because he can't afford to fight such an expensive war. With the strength of the Han Dynasty and the vastness of its territory, it takes several years to recuperate from a big battle, and its strength is far inferior to that of its opponents, so what can it be used to fight?
Tan Feng felt as if he had fallen into a lofty trap. Over the years, he imitated his national policy, tried his best to build Yingchuan into a place that was not much different from the Han State, and built his army like the Han army, but as a result, he put himself in a predicament.
Gao Yuan must have set his sights on Yingchuan County at a very early stage, otherwise he would not be able to explain why he suddenly appeared in Yingshui.
"Gao Yuan, you really look up to me, I only have a county and a county. I even want you to go on a personal expedition? Tan Feng suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, bluffing the faces of the pro-soldiers on the side changed greatly, and the general was stimulated, is he going crazy?
Yin Cuo's face on the side was a little defeated, and looking at Tan Feng, he said fiercely: "General, our main forces are here and Tai'an, concentrate our forces and fight back." Recapture Yingchuan. As the general of Yingchuan County, he naturally knew the importance of Yingchuan County to their army.
"Call back?" Tan Feng sighed: "Do you think Gao Yuan will give us this opportunity?" This person plans and then acts, since he has already done it, the next move will inevitably come in an endless stream. We should not be thinking about fighting back, but about how to survive. If my prediction is correct, their follow-up troops will have already arrived in Yingchuan County. Further behind, there is a steady stream of main forces arriving. Not only can we not recapture Yingchuan County now, but we also have Wulong and Tai'an, which we have just defeated. and they shall make wedding garments. Gao Yuan is really calculating, I tried my best to take Wulong and Tai'an, but in the blink of an eye, I was about to give it to him with both hands. ”
"General, even if we can't recapture Yingchuan, we can't give up Wulong and Tai'an, if we give up these two places, where are we going? We don't have our own turf. Even if we don't protect Wulong, we have to keep Tai'an, Tai'an is located in a key position, as long as we master it, we still have a chance to make a comeback, and the general can make Tai'an Yingchuan County again! ”
Tan Feng stood up, "Do you think this is still possible?" Why is Yingchuan rich? It is because we are trading with the Han people non-stop, and a large number of Han goods are distributed to the Quartet through Yingchuan, which brings Yingchuan wealth and makes our finances very rich, which is the capital of our governance of Yingchuan. As long as his upper and lower lips touched slightly, it was impossible for a trace of Chinese goods to flow again. Moreover, Tai'an is indeed located in Chong, it is precisely because of the location to Chong, it is not easy to guard, this is a piece of fat, who doesn't want it, if there is Yingchuan's financial support, there is Wulong's flank cover and buffer, I am confident to hold Tai'an, but these two places are gone, only one Tai'an, how can it become our foothold? That could only be our death. ”
Yin Cuo opened his mouth and stammered, listening to Tan Feng's words, the bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.
"I was treated as a pig by Gao Yuan, fattened, and killed, so I slaughtered it without hesitation to eat meat, but I also thought I had a plan in high spirits, I thought I was clever, and I made Han money to equip my army and govern my own territory, but I didn't expect this to be done for him Gao Yuan!" The smile on Tan Feng's face gradually solidified, bitter and angry, making his face look very distorted, and the painful appearance made everyone around him shudder.
Tan Feng thinks that he is one of the few smart people in this world, there are very few Liao Liao who can make him look down, even if it is Lu Chao, it is not worth anything in his eyes, if it were not for Li Ru's support all the way, that scholar would have died many times. But now, the cruel reality ruthlessly hits his self-confidence, and he has been raised as a pig for a long time, not only does he not know it, but he also thinks he is proud every day, which is really a great irony.
He staggered a few steps, his face turned pale, and suddenly opened his mouth and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"General!" Yin Cuo and the surrounding guards were all shocked, and they all rushed towards him.
"It's okay, it's okay!" With his knife on the ground, Tan Feng tried his best to stand up straight, looking up at the sky with his face up, "I won't admit defeat so easily, I still have tens of thousands of soldiers, I still have the strength to fight, I will never admit defeat, Gao Yuan, I still have a chance to compete with you." ”
Yin Cuo nodded again and again, "Yes, General, although we lost Yingchuan County, the main force of our army still exists, and we did not lose." ”
"Yin Cuo, order your troops to take away everything that Wulong County can take away, food, gold, silver, jewelry, weapons, but everything that is still useful, including men, men who are taller than a horsewhip, except for those old and weak, take them all, not only Wulong County, but also the following Fucheng County, I will give you a month, and all the things that can be moved will be moved to Tai'an first." A hint of flush flashed across Tan Feng's face.
"Yes, General, I see." Yin mistakenly thought that Tan Feng had finally figured out and wanted to stick to Tai'an, and he couldn't help but smile on his face, but he ignored the first word in Tan Feng's last sentence.
"I'm going to leave Gao Yuan a broken, nothing-for-nothing Wulong, Gao Yuan, a hypocrite, will definitely slow down his pace of progress because of this, and buy precious time for our next deployment. Don't forget, before leaving, give me all the crops in the field and burn them to the ground. I want to make this year's Wulong, after the autumn, not a single grain of grain can be beaten. Tan Feng said viciously.
Yin Cuo shuddered, looking at Tan Feng's red eyes, he said loudly: "Obey the order of the general, leave nothing." ”
Tan Feng did not enter the newly defeated Wulong County City, and returned to Tai'an in a hurry with his own troops, as if he was in a hurry.
In Yingshui County, among the divisional headquarters of the 88th Division, Gao Yuan is receiving the latest Han army unit to rush here, the famous ghost-faced general Gu Li, the only female general in the active army of the Han Dynasty.
"Gu Li is worthy of being Gu Li, your Hun cavalry division will always advance at the fastest speed, which makes Gongsun Yi and Agu Huaien convinced!" Looking at Gu Li, who was standing in front of him with a helmet, Gao Yuan laughed loudly. "You're five days ahead of my plan."
Gu Li smiled, "The Hun cavalry is an independent division, ready to serve the king at any time." The march is like wind and fire, the battle is like thunder, this is the king's gift to the independent division of the Hun cavalry, we are implementing this sentence all the time, and again, we can have such a speed of progress, but also thanks to the timely supply along the way. ”
Hearing Gu Fan's words, Gao Yuan laughed again, "Presumably, after you walked by, the officials of those supply depots would definitely scold you loudly, because you made them scramble, they definitely didn't expect you to advance so fast." ”
"If they are really in a hurry, I think the king should punish them, they should have a contingency plan, if they don't even have this, the director of the supply department should be replaced."
"That's right, if you can't deal with emergencies, it's really time to change people, but now it seems that they are doing a good job, and Ye Zhong will definitely come to ask for credit in front of me, by the way, you didn't act according to the plan." Gao Yuan said with a smile.
Gu Li thought, now the king must need a cavalry to become a force for quick strikes. So I quickened the pace of progress. Guli said.
"You're right, with my understanding of Tan Feng, he will definitely do something, Yingchuan he won't come back, he knows that coming back is a meat bun beating a dog, there is no return, he will also do everything to delay my action, the most effective is to destroy Wulong, I need your cavalry division to rush to Wulong, try to protect there, don't let Tan Feng destroy out of control, there, the next is the territory of our Han, I don't want it to become a scorched earth." Gao Yuandao: "In addition, it is impossible for them to get too much from Wulong, and it is also beneficial for us to force him to follow the path we have demarcated for him." ”
"Guli obeys." (To be continued.) )
