Chapter 383: The Way of Others
Moreover, the local poor people also heard from the mouths of the displaced people who fled from the vicinity of Chang'an that there had been no grain harvest near Chang'an City for nearly three years, and the artemisia grass growing in large tracts of farmland had caught up with the height of people. At first, it was fine, but when the rebels of the puppet Qi entered the first harvest season encountered in Chang'an City, the people who were lucky were also completely desperate, dropped their hoes and shovels, and rushed to the mountains to dig weeds to satisfy their hunger.
In such troubled times, the people at the bottom of the society no longer have extravagant expectations, let alone the situation of a few pennies and a bucket of rice in the prosperous Tang Dynasty more than a hundred years ago, as long as the little food grown by their own labor is enough for the whole family, they are already satisfied.
Therefore, under the temptation of Uncle Li Huang's Yicheng tax and the protection of hundreds of thousands of **, in just over a year, the harvest season outside Fengzhou City is really golden. Although the population is still sparse, at least when you walk on the road, you can meet one or two villagers who are working every once in a while.
But such a 'happy land' that was about to prosper, along with the beautiful dreams of hundreds of people in it, was completely destroyed by a great battle, and it was so sudden, so fast, and thorough. ** For more than a year, the business has been completely destroyed with a complete defeat, and it is the pseudo-Qi rebels who are now 'celebrating the whole country' in Fengzhou City.
"As soon as Liang Quan is lost, the impasse in Fengzhou can also be said to have opened a gap." After pondering for a moment, Lin Feng slowly shook his head and sighed lightly. However, in those deep, tightly narrowed eyes, there was a flash of light from time to time, as if he already had an idea in his heart.
"That's true, as Master Hou said." Although Li Jian was very embarrassed in his heart, he still had to bite the bullet and continue to explain to Lin Feng: "Today's Liangquan County, there are more than 40,000 pseudo-Qi rebels stationed, and the city gates on all sides are tightly closed, and the entire defense is like an iron barrel, and it seems that it is impossible to attack at all, unless, unless we use all our troops. ”
"It's impossible." Lin Feng decisively shook his head and vetoed, pointed to the map and analyzed: "If we dare to use all our strength to attack Liangquan County, I have no doubt that the yellow thief will take advantage of the situation to stab us in the back!" At that time, it will not be as simple as another defeat, but it is possible to directly cut off the connection between our army and the rear, and at that time, it is very likely that it will be us who will be trapped and die in this game instead of the rebels of pseudo-Qi! ”
Everyone was silent, just nodded slightly in agreement, but did not express any opinion, in fact, there was nothing they could do, after all, if there was a way, it would not be without measures in this small half a month.
"Since we can't come hard, we can only learn from them." Lin Feng pursed his lips, shook his head a little helplessly, shrugged his shoulders at everyone, and whispered his thoughts.
"Learn from them?!" Everyone was at a loss, looking at Lin Feng in confusion and asking, "What do you learn from them?" ”
"Needless to say? Give somebody a taste of his own medicine! Lin Feng smiled lightly, but a simple sentence surprised everyone, and they looked at Lin Feng with wide eyes, as if to confirm their guess, Lin Feng turned around and smiled at Uncle Li with a relaxed smile: "Uncle Huang, you can arrange people to send a war letter to the rebels in the city, three days later!" ”
As he spoke, Lin Feng stretched out his hand and pointed to the sand table, where the ** was originally stationed, and his tone suddenly turned sharp: "It's where we fell!" Another Armageddon! In terms of numbers, it's still 150,000! If they have an opinion, feel free to mention it! ”
"Xiao Feng, this, this..." Uncle Li Huang raised his face full of surprise, and originally wanted to persuade him, but after seeing Lin Feng's determined gaze, he frowned, and reminded in a deep voice: "Xiao Feng, in terms of numbers, Pseudo-Qi should not agree, after all, 150,000 people is already their limit!" Moreover, and our army. . . ”
"Uncle Huang rest assured! I've thought of these for a long time! Lin Feng naturally understood that Uncle Li Huang actually wanted to express that it was extremely difficult for the current ** to raise 150,000 soldiers who dared to fight, so he didn't wait for the other party to finish his words awkwardly, he smiled lightly and waved his hand to interrupt, staring at the sand table on the side, and explained in a faint tone: "Pseudo-Qi will definitely not come out of the nest, however, I estimate that as long as I agree, the troops will be around 100,000, even now, Pseudo-Qi still hopes to break the deadlock as soon as possible, and the grain and grass snatched from our army are not enough to support their current sitting!" ”
"One hundred thousand." Uncle Li Huang muttered to himself after hearing this, but everyone still saw Uncle Li's hesitation, just from the slightly trembling body, it could be seen that Uncle Li Huang seemed to have been broken by the decisive battle half a month ago, and it seemed that he did not dare to face the same decisive battle again.
"Master Hou!" Li Jian on the side couldn't bear to see Uncle Li Huang like this, so he explained to Lin Feng: "Forgive Li for being blunt! With our current morale, I'm afraid it won't be enough to hastily support a decisive battle of 100,000 people in three days! ”
"In this regard, General Li doesn't have to worry about it!" Lin Feng pursed his lips, shook his head with some contempt and smiled: "Although the Feng family's army was also severely damaged in the last decisive battle, I don't think it has reached the point of hurting its vitality!" In this battle, my Feng family army can face it alone! With only 100,000 pseudo-Qi rebels, the soldiers of my Feng family's army are not cowardly! ”
As soon as he said this, not only did Li Jian's face blush for a while, but even Uncle Li Huang on the side turned his face sideways, and the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing. Immediately, Lin Feng smiled faintly, but his heart was full of infinite contempt, but in order to take care of Uncle Li's emotions, he still put on a respectful face and explained to the two of them: "I'm afraid that the current puppet Qi rebels are in an atmosphere of pride and arrogance, presumably they will also agree to a decisive battle!" And this time, it's also a good time for us to be ashamed! The most important thing is that we must not only take care of the current **, but also take care of those officials in the rear court! Without a perfect explanation, I'm afraid none of us here will have any good fruit to eat! ”
Hearing this, Uncle Li's heart was also a little more comfortable, after all, he also felt that Lin Feng's starting point was mostly for his position as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses. Similarly, even Li Jian's face softened a lot, and after a little hesitation, Li Jian also turned his heart sideways, saluted Lin Feng with a fist, and said solemnly: "If Hou Ye doesn't dislike it, Li is willing to lead Li Jiajun's brothers to fight side by side with Hou Ye!" ”
"That's good!" The corners of Lin Feng's mouth twitched, and he returned the salute with a fist at the other party, and then bowed to Uncle Li Huang to leave: "Uncle Huang, I'll go back to the camp to deal with some things for the time being!" Then come to see you old! ”
"Okay, you go first." Uncle Li Huang nodded weakly and waved his hand lightly.
