Chapter 287 Wagang attacked

Fang Xuanling nodded, "Relying on them alone, they will definitely not be able to resist, but the Luoyang court should have support, as long as there are 20,000 to 30,000 court reinforcements arriving, they can rely on the advantage of the city wall to fight to the death with the Wagang army!" ”

Su Shang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled: "What do you think?"

Du Ruhui nodded and said with a slight smile: "Liyang Cang is one of the top ten granaries of the imperial court, and the grain stored is at least more than one million stones, if we can successfully take it, it can at least meet the military food needs of our allied army for a year."

"I'm for it too!"

Wei Yunqi also said with a smile, "It has been half a year since the Holy Lord went to Jiangdu, and the big families in various places can no longer sit still, they are either directly involved or indirectly promoted, the rebellion in the Great Sui has become more and more intense, the era of real competition for hegemony and competition for the world is coming, we need more money, food and equipment!" ”

"Not bad! Food is the foundation of the world hegemony, there is food in your hands, and you don't panic in your heart! Wei Zheng also smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Brother Wei's words are good!"

Su Shang patted his palms and smiled, "There is food in your hands, don't panic in your heart!" It's decided, let's take over Liyang Cang! ”

Then, everyone discussed the details of the troops, and after half an hour, a detailed plan for sending troops to take over Liyangcang was freshly released.

At this time, Su Shang remembered the matter of Dongping County again, and half a year ago, he sent Su Dingchang and Fang Yanzao, He Qingliang and Jia Yanfu two combinations, and asked them to each lead 10,000 soldiers into Dongping County and secretly take over Dongping County in the name of the local rebels.

The reason why he secretly took over Dongping County was because Su Shang didn't want to directly face the Wagang Army, after all, the strength of the Wagang Army was too strong, with nearly 500,000 troops, and it was not suitable to fight with them for the time being.

"Brother Ruhan, what's the situation in Dongping County?"

"The takeover plan is going well, and at present, they have taken over most of Dongping County, except for the surrounding area of Juye Lake and some rebel organizations in the neighboring Dongjun."

"How many rebels did they reorganize?"

"Both teams have organized about 20,000 rebel armies, and their total strength is now 60,000."

Su Shang pondered for a moment and instructed Li Yixing: "Yixing, you immediately notify Ding Chang and Qingliang, and let them lead the newly reorganized 40,000 righteous troops to arrive at the Fanxian Wharf on the evening of February 28!"

"Yes!"

"Wait!"

Li Yixing was just about to turn around and leave, but Su Shang stopped him again, "Inform Li Mo immediately, let him prepare all the warships of the Donglai Navy Battalion, and the army will board the ships and set out in two days!" ”

The Donglai Navy Battalion was set up near the Donglai Wharf after the Donglai Wharf was built, and the current Dengzhou Navy Camp has been divided into two, and half of the troops and warships have been assigned to the Donglai Navy Camp.

After Li Yixing left, Wei Zheng asked a little puzzled: "Is the marshal planning to transfer troops from Dongping County to take over Liyangcang?"

"It's not!"

Su Shang shook his head and said with a smile: "I plan to transfer 40,000 soldiers from the Donglai garrison camp to Dongping County, and then transfer the 40,000 volunteers from Dongping County to Donglai City, after all, they are all local rebels in Dongping County, and there are more or less contradictions with the local people, so letting them continue to stay in the local area is not conducive to stability!"

In fact, there is a more important reason, Su Shang did not say it, he was worried that continuing to keep these rebel soldiers in Dongping County would make Su Dingchang and He Qingliang and others have ideas that they should not have.

After all, these soldiers of the rebel army were all organized by them, and they followed them to fight continuously, and they were already loyal to them, and Dongping County was secretly taken over, and Su Shang could not transfer them for the time being.

If you can't change generals, then you can only change troops, this is the method that Su Shang thought of in order to avoid accidents, as long as these righteous soldiers are transferred out of Dongping County, and then 40,000 soldiers are re-transferred from the Donglai garrison camp, accidents can be perfectly avoided.

When everyone heard this, their faces couldn't help but change slightly, and they all understood the implied meaning of the marshal's words, but they didn't object.

They all understood the marshal's worries, after all, in this period of chaos in the world, it is easy for generals who lead troops abroad to germinate ambitions.

Although Su Dingchang and He Qingliang are both students of the marshal, human nature is complicated, and no one dares to guarantee that they will not defect, and it is best to do this now, which can avoid accidents and not hurt teachers and students!

Su Shang turned back to his own general Huang Lin and instructed: "Huang Lin, you immediately go and inform General Wei Chi Gong and ask him to prepare an army of 60,000 and set off with the army in two days."

"Yes!" Huang Lin trotted away!

Wei Chigong, like Huang Lin, is Su Shang's personal general, but he usually stays in the garrison camp and is responsible for the training of the army.

……

Ji County, Liyang County, Liyang Cang.

Liyang warehouse is not big, built by the mountain, occupies a place of about three miles, although it is a granary, but in fact there is not much difference from a small county town, the surrounding wall city is very tall, far more than most of the county city wall.

Liyang Cangxi is bordered by Yongji Canal in the west and the Yellow River in the east, and the waterway transportation is very convenient, so its east and west gates are water gates, which are directly connected to the Yongji Canal and the Yellow River through artificial rivers respectively, and it is precisely because of this that it actually only has two gates in the south and north.

"Bell! Bang Bang! Clang! Bang Bang! ”

With the sound of gongs, the officers and men of the Wagang Army, who were attacking the south and north gates of Liyang Cang, quickly retreated back like the ebbing tide of the sea.

Soon, the Wagang soldiers of the south and north gates all retreated, leaving only a similar picture, everywhere there were broken soldiers and broken arrows, everywhere there were stumps and broken bodies, some seriously injured soldiers who were not dead, and it was difficult to retreat, were moaning powerlessly, howling miserably, a scene of purgatory on earth.

In the same way, there was a miserable scene above the city, and the soldiers who were lucky enough not to be injured were busy caring for their wounded brothers, and their armor was already crooked and full of bloodstains, but they did not have time to tidy it up, nor did they have time to clean it.

The wails and screams of the wounded soldiers, one after another, were very infiltrating, the floor tiles at the head of the city, the battlements and the city walls, were drenched in blood everywhere, gathering into a stream, which was better than the Shura field in the world.

In front of the south gate, Zhai Rang, who was riding a tall war horse, was inspecting the battlefield with a team of personal soldiers, and he was accompanied by Xu Shiji, the second leader of Wagang, and more than a dozen Wagang generals such as Cheng Yanjin.

In the afternoon of the day before yesterday, Zhai Rang led an army of 150,000 Wagang to Liyangcang.
