Chapter 487: The Guangzhou Crisis
Nong Zhigao looked at his own hundreds of thousands of weapons, his heart was full of infinite confidence, his mother told him about the founding of the country, he felt that the time was completely ripe now, and the glory he had dreamed of before could now be realized at any time.
"Tell the brothers that there is endless food to eat, women to sleep in, and endless money to spend in the city of Guangzhou, and we can go home if we grab these, and then we will build our own kingdom."
This obviously irritating remark made his soldiers even more fanatical, shouting that they were about to attack Guangzhou City immediately, this move may not be believed by the soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, but it has definitely inspired the military spirit of these barbarians.
Cao Feng said: "After a little bit of a big man, you can't hesitate, the thieves are already less than a hundred miles away from Guangzhou City, and hundreds of thousands of troops are coming in an instant, whether we take the initiative to attack or passively defend, at this time you have to give a word!" ”
Zhang Li asked, "Where are the imperial court's reinforcements?"
Cao Feng silently calculated and said, "It should have just set off from Suzhou not long ago!" They still have to stay in Quanzhou temporarily, and we have to wait for the arrival of reinforcements for at least seven to ten days, and this is if there is no accident on the way. ”
"General Cao, do you think our strength can hold out until reinforcements arrive?"
"It's a little difficult, more than 10,000 people face ten times the military strength, and I don't dare to guarantee that it will be foolproof, after all, no one knows about the accident and tomorrow, so you still have a mental preparation early."
Yu Jing said in the back: "Guangzhou City will realize military management!" In case anyone defects to the enemy, we are here to help the dignitaries to defend their property, and they will also help us to defend the city, which is mutual, and I think it is absolutely necessary to do so. ”
Military control may be difficult to achieve in the era of human rights, but at this time it is just a sentence from the governor, and as a strategy, he does not need to think about it much, the only problem is that after the implementation of military control, there will definitely be a certain amount of panic in the city.
Cao Feng said: "Most of the private soldiers are afraid of the soft and the hard, and when they encounter a tough battle, I am afraid that they will break the morale of the army." ”
Yu Jing said: "The city is broken, others may be able to live, but do you think Nong Zhigao will let us go?" I don't think so, since we can't, we have nothing to worry about before we die. ”
The people in the city of Guangzhou have long been panicked, after the government absolutely controls the entrance and exit of the ships, a large number of goods are hoarded inside and outside the city and cannot get out, the merchants want to run but are reluctant to spend their own money to buy the goods, the private soldiers of the wealthy families do not dare to escape, and it is a dead end to escape, and now the city of Guangzhou can only see in and out.
Pei Peipei looked at her already pregnant belly and sighed deeply, this child really didn't come at the right time, she saw the situation in Guangzhou very clearly, if the rescue soldiers couldn't arrive in time, then what would she and the fetus in her womb face - death or bullying.
"Madame, let's send you out! The family has a prepared boat by the sea, just in case, and General Cao I think he will also approve of the idea of his subordinates. ”
Pei Peipei said: "I can't go, can Nong Zhigao break through the city of Guangzhou?" You don't know how much of the family's goods are in Guangzhou, and the hard work of the head of the family must not be abandoned. ”
Cao Feng knew that his brother was an amorous seed, and his concubine was going to have an accident here, maybe there was a very big possibility in Guangzhou City in a fit of anger, so he had to do Pei Peipei's ideological work.
"Military control is about to be implemented in the city, you can return to the underground castle from now on, and you can not come out until the crisis in Guangzhou City has passed, don't be in a hurry to refuse, you are now two people and not one person."
Pei Peipei said: "I don't know, if I think about it in a different way, it's actually the same, and I may not be safe if the city is broken." "Her position in the Lu family is to control the caravan, what should she do if she loses the caravan, when a woman becomes a mother, her first consideration is the child.
Cao Feng said: "There is a news you don't know yet! This time, it was you old man who brought troops to Guangzhou to quell the rebellion, you don't want others to come and have an accident with you! The city of Guangzhou is not so easily broken, let you go to the castle just in case. ”
"He's coming? Isn't he in charge of the police department in the capital? What to do when he comes to the house. Pei Peipei said in confusion, but she was still looking forward to it, she was pregnant, and if her husband was around, what could be happier than this.
"Now that he has arrived in Suzhou, with Xiucai's way of doing things in one step and three steps, the situation in Guangzhou should be within his expectations, and some words are not suitable for you to say, as long as you protect yourself now, it will be the greatest help to him."
"But they all said that Nong Zhigao was violent, hundreds of thousands of troops were pressing the border, and Guangzhou City would be looted sooner or later, and I was still worried about those goods."
Cao Feng smiled: "You can't believe the words of politicians, you just need to believe your old man." ”
Six warships lined up in a line on the sea, even if the sea god saw it, he had to retreat, the pirates were harvested by Lu Zifei a few years ago, and now they are a rare species.
"Xiao Fei, don't say it, after this habit, there is a difference between the sea and the sea god of the small river, which will somewhat understand why you literati always use the sea to describe a man's mind."
Lu Zifei said: "We are now close to the land, so you can often see fishermen going out to sea to fish, but we haven't gone to the real sea yet?" When I'm done cleaning up Nong Zhigao, I'll take you to see it. ”
Zhang Qi smiled and said: "Forget the sea, I'm the same as General Di, land warfare is okay, the sea is your world, we won't compete for the top spot, but I'm very interested in your robbery of that set of evil theories." ”
Hearing this, Di Qing also leaned over silently, Lu Zifei said, "Do you often do this kind of thing. ”
Zhang Qi said "hey" and said, "Who is robbing?" The border people's families are poorer than the family, and the land is planted by the army itself, robbing the Western Xia, do you think this is possible? "I haven't won against the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty of Liao, and the words are over, and if I continue to talk about it, I will slap myself.
Robbing overseas countries, Lu Zifei didn't feel any guilt in his heart, he said: "There are no countries nearby that can rob them!" It's like cutting leeks, you have to wait for the next one to grow when you're done. ”
"No matter how thin the mosquito legs are, they are still meat! The last time General Di and I went back to Beijing and wanted to buy a decent house in the capital, but as soon as we heard the price offered, the two of us left in disgrace, can you bear to see this scene? ”
Who doesn't like money, no one is exempt from vulgarity, as long as you live in this world, Di Qing is embarrassed to say, but looking at his eyes, he knows that he also thinks that Di Qing's family background and background are not good, and he has fought on the battlefield for so many years, not for the word fame and fortune.
"It's too familiar, I'm embarrassed to do it! If I talk about robbery, I still want to rob Japan, where there is a lot of silver, mainly because the time is too rushed, otherwise the three of us will lead the fleet to a new continent, and I will take you to dig for gold. ”
Zhang Yu said: "General Di and I don't choose, as long as it can be exchanged for money, we both like it, silver is fine, copper money is also fine." ”
Lu Zifei said: "Being a pirate is more interesting and more interesting than leading a battle, there are many strange things on the sea that we have not seen on land, and the current sea is still in an undeveloped state, so it is worth exploring." ”
Di Qing said: "What you said is too profound, we don't know much about it, I'm the same as General Zhang, I'm not picky." ”
"Okay, I'll take you to go crazy after dealing with Nong Zhigao, the wind and waves have been calm for the past two days, inform the fleet to speed up, no matter what, Guangzhou City can't be broken."
Zhang Qi said: "In the past two days, General Di and I have also been studying the situation in Guangzhou, if you want to be the fastest, Shiziyang is the best choice, what do you say?" ”
Lu Zifei sneered: "Shiziyang is fast, but I decided to enter Guangzhou from the Xijiang River." ”
"Xijiang, isn't that a long detour? Besides, the river width of the Xijiang River may not necessarily be able to pass through the warships. ”
Di Qing took out the map he had with him, glanced at it and said, "Lord Lu wants to cut off Nong Zhigao's retreat, are you so confident?" ”
Lu Zifei said: "The source of my confidence is that the two of you still have 50,000 Northwest Army, Nong Zhigao at this time must be full of pride!" The southwest has always been a big problem that the imperial court can't solve, and now that this jumping has jumped out by itself, I don't want to let go of such a good opportunity. ”
Di Qing said: "Then I'll go back and redo the battle plan!" I really didn't think that the battle could be fought like this. ”
"The number of soldiers, combat effectiveness, combat environment, logistics, these can all be calculated! Win more with less, defeat the strong with the weak, that is a last resort, there is a little way, who wants to break the boat. ”
"That's true, you and General Zhang continue to talk, and I'll go to make a battle plan."
Lu Zifei said: "I'm going to Quanzhou soon, and I don't have time to chat." ”
Zhang Qi looked at the direction Di Qing left and said, "He is a war maniac, a natural general. ”
In the port of Quanzhou, the army of a thousand people was sweating in the sun, but none of them showed an expression of reluctance on their faces, and they seemed to be very happy to look at it, because the person they were waiting for could lead them to the road to prosperity, and they were convinced of this.
Huang Shuangming instantly burst into tears when he looked at the three high warships that belonged to them for inspection in Quanzhou three years ago, which represented the most glorious moment they had ever had!
"My lord, Huang Shuangming asks to return to the team."
"Lao Huang, you are now believing in the reins! I have a beer belly, and I can still fight. ”
Huang Shuangming stood straight and said forcefully: "Always ready"
Lu Zifei said: "Let the inspection army get on the last few ships, has Quanzhou received any news from Guangzhou?" ”
Huang Shuangming said: "Recently, every day, I read today's distress letter, Guangzhou City has been surrounded by Nong Zhigao, but the first wave of the offensive has not yet begun, General Cao told me that it is because the rebel army does not have enough siege equipment, once the local materials are made, presumably they will soon start to try to attack." ”
