Chapter 398: Defending the West Pavilion

When Su Lu received the Xiting military report, the army was celebrating the victory of Qingjiang.

In the first battle, the Qi people and the Yingte coalition army were defeated, 10,000 Qi troops were captured, tens of thousands of Yingte infantry troops were killed, countless materials were captured, and the well-made long qiāng and armor were piled up, dozens of ballistas, and there were also three flying birds, but they were defeated by Han Yun and could not be repaired for the time being.

In such a great victory, just counting the seized documents was piled up in the Chinese army's account, and the responsible clerk and the chief booklet were crowded into the big tent.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Su Lu looked at the messenger kneeling on the ground, and asked:

"Before you came, how did Qian Dudu arrange for Xiting's response?"

The sergeant did not dare to look up, and replied respectfully:

"The governor has prepared the city defense, and the bunkers have been sent to all the bunkers, and the soldiers have also been sent to the places where the villagers live, and the governor said that he has studied the teaching materials of the martial arts hall and thinks that the sentence that all the people are soldiers is very good, and this time the governor of Qian is preparing to be all the army."

Zhao Ting next to him laughed: "As long as he is not good at money, he still thinks that all the people are in the army, I guess who gave him money is not thoughtful, Hua Xun, and this grandson dares to come like this." ”

Li Kun next to him spoke: "Not necessarily, I think Lao Qian himself really dares to do this, first, to show that he is bold, this time the enemy did not flinch, and secondly, he can pat the commander's ass." ”

Kang Mazi next to him said disdainfully: "Qian Buzhou, this bastard, this method is not good at all, he is timid and afraid of war, he should take the initiative to attack and attack Wuyuan, Wuyuan is the territory of the commander." ”

Su Lu ignored a few generals who had just made great achievements, and asked the messenger sergeant: "You go back and send a message to Qian Dudu, tell him that the enemy you face this time is different, the barbarians who use people as food, where to kill, where to eat, let him think about how to resist the enemy." ”

After dealing with the military affairs of Xiting, Su Lu instructed the generals in the tent.

"This Qingjiang victory has pushed the front to the Qingjiang area again, but it is not enough, the Qi people and the British and Special Coalition forces have blatantly invaded our Han country for a trumped-up charge, if we put it down lightly this time, they will dare to invade our Han country next time."

Su Ping said with his hands in his hands: "Commander, what do you say, let's listen to you, do you want to fight?" “

Su Lu continued: "Qingjiang Commander Pingqi, I asked you to loot the intelligence of the Qingjiang Naval Division of the Qi State, how did you loot?" ”

Pingqi lined up, bowed down and said: "Most of them are ready, and there is still one patrol order that has not been clarified, and all of them will be sent within three days." ”

Su Lu nodded: "As soon as possible, march to fight, intelligence first, the commander of the Qingjiang Water Division is a capable general, you send someone to contact him, see if you can say anything, if you can let him surrender, I will remember you a great achievement." ”

Pingqi looked excited, and when he clasped his fists and saluted, he said: "The last general will take the order." ”

Su Lu continued to instruct and said: "Just after the war, the soldiers are physically and mentally exhausted, and it is not suitable to start the war again. ”

The generals dispersed.

Su Lu stopped Cao Hua and instructed: "In the past few days, I am going to go to Xiting for a trip, and I will see that the money is not well arranged for defense." The barbarians fought with the Tang people, although they would not necessarily attack our Han Kingdom, but they also had to prevent the barbarians from attacking our Han Kingdom as soon as their brains were hot. ”

Cao Hua promised: "Master, just go, I will watch the camp, besides, the army has been resting for the past few days, so there shouldn't be any trouble." ”

Su Lu continued to order: "The advance of the Flying Bird Soldiers must continue, and the maximum pressure on the Qingjiang Naval Division must be guaranteed, and it will be well coordinated with Pingqi, and the soldiers will be subjugated without a fight." ”

"The ballista artillery is there, and we must continue to train, let the bird soldiers cooperate, and continue to bombard the Qi camp on the south bank, day and night, I want the Qi people to collapse without a fight."

"There are also strict military disciplines, just after the war, the sergeants are a little loose, you have to inform the sergeants below, when the punishment is executed, let it go in small matters, but the big crime of robbery and murder is strict and severe, kill when you should be killed, don't tolerate it."

Cao Hua bowed in response.

Su Lu glanced at Cao Jian and Zhang Gan next to him: "The two of you will discuss, leave one, and the other one will bring a hundred ballistas and a battalion of ballistae, follow me and go to Xiting." ”

Cao Jian and Zhang Gan came out of the camp tent, some of them were confused, and followed the commander to Xiting, the war here will continue, and the main general and the lieutenant will be separated, and I don't know what the commander thinks.

Zhang Gan walked a few steps quickly, caught up with Cao Hua in front of him, and asked respectfully.

"Sect Leader Cao, you can analyze it, why did the governor transfer the two of us to two places, and who should let me go?"

Cao Hua smiled: "Are you two stupid to study ballistas, the meaning of the commander is already very clear, divide a hundred ballistas, a battalion of ballistae, your ballista battalion has a total of one battalion of ballistae, how do you divide a battalion of ballista artillery?" ”

The two nodded at the same time, yes, how to divide it.

Cao Hua raised his foot and gave Cao Jie, who nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice: "This is to promote Zhang Gan, battalion captain, you nod your fart head, and it is not good for you." ”

Cao Jian became a bitter gourd face, and if he said this, he was promoted to Zhang Gan's official and took away the ballista battalion, which is to dismantle my bones.

"No, most of the ballista battalion was trained by me, you can find another battalion of sergeants and train yourself."

Cao then blurted out and said, since it was your kid who was promoted, he has a fart relationship with my old Cao.

Zhang Gan's eyes rolled, he grabbed Cao Jie's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I went back to Shazhou last time and brought back three bottles of sand grain red aged wine, you have drunk it, you know the taste, I still have a bottle, let's kill it today." ”

Cao Jie's addiction to alcohol suddenly came up, and he said excitedly: "Okay, let's eliminate him today." ”

But he reacted in an instant, Zhang Gan was going to dig people's heads.

"But first of all, the lieutenant can let you take it, but the main general has to keep it for me."

Zhang Gan smiled: "Lao Cao, this is the outside, we have been classmates for three years, and now we have been in the same room for three years, three years and three years, you say this, you will see the outside, punishment, you have to punish three cups first." ”

The two of them left as if no one was around.

Cao Hua looked at the backs of the two of them, thoughtfully, and said in front of me to drink, do these two boys feel that the military law is too lax, or my majesty is not enough.

Three days later, the complete ballista battalion, under the leadership of Zhang Gan, followed Su Lu to Xiting.

A day later, everyone arrived at the Xiting Governor's Mansion and saw that the busy head was not enough.

Qian Buzhou saw Su Lu as if he had seen a savior.

"Boss, you're finally here."

"After you gave the order, I thought about getting a barbarian back, this damn it's really scary.

Su Lu asked, "Have you thought of the plan that made you think of it?" ”

Qian Buzhou looked sad: "Although I thought of it, what should I do, the walls are clear, there are many people in Xiting, and it is unrealistic to want to move into the city." ”

Su Lu sat down behind the handsome case and looked at Qian Buzhou with a funny look: "Spread the terrible propaganda of the barbarians and let the people choose for themselves." ”

"Expand the city wall, relocate the people, those who are willing to move will move, and those who are unwilling will not be forced, but the city defense must be strengthened, I have brought a hundred ballistas, you can distribute them, for the defense of the city." In order to deal with the barbarians as little as possible, give up the cities of Shuangmiao, Yulong, Yongtai, and Guanya, comprehensively shrink the defense line, and strengthen the walls of the Shuangfo City, we must block the barbarians' tentative attack on us in the Shuangfo. ”
