Chapter 415: Burn the sour dates and go south to the tiger prison!
The county seat of sour jujube.
Early morning.
A round of sunrise rises from the eastern horizon, the golden light pours down, after yesterday's heavy rain, so that today's sun appears more brilliant, even the air is fresh.
"Shizi, the granary of the sour jujube has been found, but the grain and grass in it are not as much as we imagined, we counted it, and it is estimated that there is only about 50,000 stone of grain left, and there are not many weapons and horses in storage!"
The county government was temporarily requisitioned, became the command post of the Jingping army, Mu Jing lived in the backyard, after yesterday's battle, he was already tired, and he had a good night's rest last night, only to recover some mental and physical strength, he just got up, and Xi Zhi came to report.
"So little?"
Hearing this, Mu Jing frowned slightly.
Fifty thousand stone of food alone seems like a lot, but if it is to deal with the logistics of hundreds of thousands of coalition forces, it is very little.
This crusade swept the princes of the world.
Not to mention the farthest place.
The accumulation of grain and grass in Yuzhou and Yanzhou alone is a terrifying number, and a lot of grain and grass have also been transported from Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, which have accumulated grain and grass, which is enough for the coalition army to crusade against Mushan.
"I've already asked some of the left-behind soldiers in Sujube County!" Xi Zhicai said: "It should be Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu he transported most of it south, and then held it tightly in his own hands to ensure his status in the coalition army!" ”
Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance and nominally commanded all the princes.
If Yuan Shu wants to sit side by side with Yuan Shao, then he must have a killer weapon that can balance the princes of all parties, and managing logistics is the best position.
"Yuan Highway, this bastard thing is really careful to think a lot, but his careful thinking has ruined our plan like this!" Mu Jing sighed: "Even if you take the sour dates, the damage to the coalition forces is not great!" ”
"What do we do now?"
Xi Zhicai also sighed, the plan is not as good as the change.
"The significance of this place is too great, compared to the Kwantung coalition army, this is the land of dragons, it is about their morale, they will never let us occupy it, we can't stay for a long time, as long as the news of the fall of the sour jujube reaches the coalition army, maybe they will wave their troops north to snipe us!" Mu Jing said: "Immediately order the Hun cavalry, let them come in and move food, as much as they can move, let them go!" ”
"Shizi, do you really give them food, after all, the Hun cavalry is a foreign race, and we are not of the same mind, if someone gives them food, they will also stick a knife in our abdomen!" Xi Zhicai reminded.
"I don't know!"
Mu Jing smiled bitterly, he said in a deep voice: "If there is a second choice, will I hire them, the Xiongnu are alien races, and my Han has been at war for hundreds of years, the grievances are deep, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River can't be washed away, I hired them, gambling on the reputation, since this war, after the spread of my Mu Jing is indispensable to the reputation of colluding with foreign enemies, but so what, war is only life and death, if we can't win this war, I want to die, my father wants to die, you also have to be buried, between life and death, I don't have so many feelings, I can only win!" ”
He borrowed the Hun cavalry to defeat Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou army, and sooner or later this matter spread all over the world, but it is not necessarily a good thing to spread it, and it should be more spurned.
How to fight this place in the Central Plains, that is the Central Plains' own business, the Han people's country, should be Han people to compete, leading foreign cavalry into the Central Plains, that is a heinous crime.
But even if Mu Jing was given another chance to choose, he would still not hesitate to introduce the 20,000 elite cavalry of the Huns into the battlefield.
This is a war, a war without any choice.
In war, there is only life and death, the process is not important, the means are not important, the important thing is whether you can survive or not.
"Since I use them, I naturally have to feed them, and next, I also need them to fight for me, 20,000 cavalry, comparable to 100,000 troops, with them participating in the war, we will have a much better chance of winning, no matter what, the Kwantung coalition must be defeated, this is our first step to unify the Han world, if the Kwantung coalition army wins, the Han will die!"
Mu Jing said: "So these grains, what should be given to them still have to be given, at this time, we can't be stingy!" ”
"It's nothing to give them, they are fighting, and they can't transport too much, I'm afraid that if I feed them too much, it will cause a big disaster in the future, the Hun cavalry is brave and good at fighting, if there is any shortcoming, it is their lack of food, once they have enough food, they will not hesitate to invade the south!"
Xi Zhicai is still a little worried.
"What you say is not unreasonable!"
Mu Jing shrugged, but he didn't care about this at all, if it was the Xianbei clan, he would think about one or two, but the Huns, the sunset in the West Mountain, Wuhu Chaohua, and there was nothing about the Huns, all of them were made by Xianbei, for him, the Huns were just the objects to be used, and he asked himself if he could hold the Huns: "But now I can't think of it so far, no matter what, since I dare to use them, I naturally have the ability to suppress them, if they want to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, they can't just fight with the cavalry under their command, no matter how strong the Hun cavalry is, It's just mercenaries, give them the path they choose, it's a road that breaks its foundation! ”
Mercenary, rootless duckweed.
When they find that war can collect money for them, they will not choose to stand on a down-to-earth foothold, as long as they do not want to gain a foothold in one place for a day, they will never be able to stand firmly on the foundation of the Central Plains.
"Since the prince is so confident, a certain family will not say much!"
Xi Zhicai said in a low voice.
He still believes in Mu Jing in his heart, since Mu Jing has thought things through, and finally does this, it means that Mu Jing has self-confidence.
"Zhicai, the next Jingping Army must be rectified as soon as possible, and I will leave the matter of Jingpingjun's rectification to you, I will give you five days!"
After the two discussed again, Mu Jing began to say: "Five days later, we will leave the sour date, go south to join my father's main force, and defeat the Kwantung coalition army!" ”
After the war, many things had to be cleaned up, the battlefield of dozens of miles had to be cleaned up, the injuries of the soldiers had to be repaired, the losses of the battalions, and the troops with excessive losses had to be reorganized.
Five days is certainly not enough.
But they had no more time to de-escalate.
"No!"
Xi Zhicai nodded, he also knew that the time was tight now, so he didn't bargain.
……
……
The water is closed.
The battle lasted for days, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were invested, and every day was a bloody battle, and a radius of dozens of miles became a bloody battlefield.
The coalition forces attacked several times, but they were never able to break through the Bishui Pass.
As a result, morale among the coalition forces is getting lower and lower.
At this time, the news of the Battle of Sour Jujube came from the north one after another, and soon reached the case of Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance.
"What?"
Yuan Shao took the case: "Mu Longtu broke the sour jujube? ”
He couldn't believe it.
On the north side, he arranged a full 50,000 soldiers and horses, led by the elite Youzhou army, you must know that the strength of the Youzhou army is among the best in the coalition army, and he was still a little distressed at the beginning, but the Jingping army quickly solved the battle of Hanoi to give him a great shock, he discussed with Cao Cao, Han Fu and others for a long time, and then decided to put the Youzhou army in the north to stabilize the northern front.
But what he didn't expect was that Gongsun Chan couldn't stop Mu Jing.
"As soon as the sour dates are lost, how are our logistics?"
"Mu's child actually broke our sour jujube, it's so hateful!"
"If he goes south, won't we be caught in the middle of a flank!"
The hearts of the princes began to shake.
"Zhang Chao, what's going on?"
Cao Cao, who was sitting next to him, looked at Zhang Chao, the Taishou of Guangling, who was kneeling in front of him, and asked: "Although Mulongtu is capable, and the Jingping army is also a strong army, but there are tens of thousands of Youzhou army, and there are still Guangling army and Qingzhou army to help, just by relying on his Jingping army, it is impossible to cross the river to the south?" ”
"It's the Hun cavalry!"
Zhang Chao said tremblingly: "Mu's child attracted the Hun cavalry, Gongsun Taishou rushed forward, was ambushed, the Youzhou army was defeated, the Qingzhou army was annihilated, and my Guangling army also suffered heavy casualties. ”
"Hun cavalry?"
"Mu Long Tu, how dare he be so presumptuous!"
"Lead foreign enemies into the Central Plains, he is burly and my big people!"
The indignant anger of countless princes came.
"Hun cavalry?"
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao glanced at each other, they were not angry, but felt tricky.
"What about Gongsun Zan?" Cao Cao asked, "Did he fight outside the encirclement?" ”
"I don't know if I live or die!" Zhang Chao replied.
"Alliance leader, the sour jujube is the place where we have an alliance, and it is an important place for the coalition army, so we must not lose it!" Cao Cao stood up and asked for his life: "I am willing to lead the army north and defeat Mujing!" ”
"Meng De, this battle is the key to the decisive battle, and you need to command!"
Yuan Shao shook his head, it's not that he didn't want Cao Cao to consume his strength, he naturally hoped that Cao Cao and Mu Jing could both lose, but at this time, the battle of Bishui Pass was at a critical time, and he couldn't support it alone, this kind of war, the slightest surprise, would lead to the annihilation of the whole army, and he had to keep Cao Cao by his side, because only Cao Cao could lead the army to cooperate with him to attack.
His gaze swept over the princes and asked, "Who is willing to go north to meet the enemy?" ”
"Somebody!"
Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai stood up and arched his hand and said.
"Liu Yuanjun, you ......"
"Alliance leader, please believe me, I, Yanzhou Erlang, will never let that Mu Longtu and the Hun thief go south!" Liu Dai said firmly.
"Then there is Lao Liu!"
Yuan Shao said in a low voice.
On the same day, Liu Dai led the Yanzhou army to the north and went straight to the county seat of Suozao.
……
The county seat of sour jujube.
A few days have passed, the battlefield has almost been cleaned up, and the Jingping army has recovered a lot, so it's time to go south.
"Shizi, news has come from Jing Wusi, Gongsun Chan is dead!"
Mu Jing was about to leave for the south, when he heard the news of Jing Wuji.
"Dead?"
Mu Jing squinted, and there was a trace of emotion in his heart: "A generation of heroes from the North, it's a pity that we have different positions!" ”
He didn't have much resentment or personal dissatisfaction with Gongsun Zhan, but he respected him, and the historical Gongsun Zhan, who defended the northern land and fought bravely, was a heroic figure.
But the battlefield is the battlefield, since it is the enemy, either you die or I die, he will do his best to destroy Gongsun Zhan.
"And what about his generals?" Mu Jing asked suddenly.
"I heard that it was Tuo Gu who gave it to Liu Bei!" The spy replied.
"Liu Xuande!"
When Mu Jing heard this, he trembled, if he didn't regret it before, then now he suddenly felt that he had done something wrong, not because he was wrong to seize the sour date, but because he killed Gongsun Zhan: "Damn, I have become your Liu Bei's divine assistant!" ”
In history, Liu Bei was depressed for half of his life.
Now, he has actually taken over Gongsun Zhan's inheritance, so ...... Things are big, this heroic man who encounters a change in the wind and clouds will not make contributions in advance.
He couldn't believe the effect of this butterfly wing.
"Forget it, I can't take care of you Liu Bei now!"
Mu Jing didn't care about so much, and now he was in a hurry to leave the sour dates.
Before leaving the sour jujube, he ordered the Jingping army to drive all the people in the county out of the city, and then poured tung oil on it, and directly burned the sour jujube city, and the entire county became a ruin in the raging fire.
This is the place where the coalition forces will meet, and burning their land and destroying their spirit can hit the morale of the coalition forces.
After the burning of the sour jujube city, the Jingping army and the Hun cavalry began to move south to Bishui Pass......
