Chapter 410 In the Mountains

Han Qian just set the next operational goals and requirements, and a more specific military action plan was discussed and drawn up by Gao Shao and them, and then he walked out of the main hall to breathe.

Zhang Ping avoided suspicion and did not participate in the discussion of the specific military action plan, followed Han Qian out of the main hall, and said: "At this time, the capture of Shangjiabao has greatly increased the prestige of the Chishan Army. ”

"......" Han Qian smiled and spread his hands, and said, "I don't want to attract slaves and maids from outside Jinling to bring their families to vote, which will make the Chishan Army become more and more bloated and huge, but everyone comes to vote, and I have no way to turn it away - in the past two days, there are six or seven thousand slaves and maids and children who have dragged their families to vote for them, and the total number of generals and women and children in the Chishan Army has exceeded 150,000 - now as long as these people can be transferred, there is nothing to worry about." ”

Zhang Ping said with emotion: "Yes, if these 150,000 people can be successfully transferred out and the passage to the south of Jinling City is not cut off, Wang Wenqian's siege strategy will almost be broken." ”

Jinling will continue to face the problem of lack of food and food in a short period of time, but the transfer of 150,000 people, in addition to reducing the basic consumption of 50,000 or 60,000 stone grains and grass per month, as long as other civilians are not driven to Jinling City to besiege them, the rivers, streams and lakes outside the city are crisscrossed, you can catch fish, catch shrimp, pick vegetables, wild vegetables and grass paths, and even bark and tree cores can be used to satisfy hunger, and it is not a problem to survive the famine.

It's just that the Chishan Army needs at least 50,000 or 60,000 stone of grain every month to meet its basic needs, where can it be transferred?

Zhang Ping thought hard about this, but seeing Han Qian's calm expression, he thought that there should be a deeper calculation, but he was in the line of the Shenling Division, and Han Qian didn't trust him and didn't want to tell him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ping looked at Han Qian again and said:

"You do this, and no one will recognize your merits. After all, the siege did not really happen, even if someone saw the clues, there were only three or five people, if we didn't listen to Miss Wang's point, I wouldn't have thought of going up this layer - more people see that you are arrogant and domineering, and you are arrogant and arrogant, and there are even many people in Yueyang who say that you are not angry and neglected, and you went to Jinling to buy people's hearts and buy the hearts of the army, but you do not hesitate to make enemies with the world's family lords, do you think it is worth it? ”

Han Qian was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Ping to ask him these words directly, he pondered for a while, and said: "My father can't bear to see the war in Jinling and the people in distress, although I can't stop the soldiers, but let as few people as possible, it can be regarded as letting his old man look under Jiuquan - as for how the people in Yueyang are doing, and what will happen in the future, I can't take care of it for a while." ”

Zhang Ping pondered for a while, and arched his hand and said: "If Lord Han needs Zhang Ping to share his worries, please tell me." ”

"Lip is so unpopular?" Han Qian smiled and asked.

"It's hard to put into words." Zhang Ping smiled bitterly.

"Knowing the general or can you be ashamed?" Han Qian narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Ping and asked.

Zhang Ping's eyes showed a trace of confusion, and after a long silence, he said: "Lord Han's heart is sincere......"

"The situation will change, and people's hearts will also change," Han Qian intercepted Zhang Ping's words and said, "Let's get through the difficulties in front of us first!" ”

At this time, there was a noise outside the courtyard.

Han Qian looked out and saw several guards scolding and driving one person away from the mezzanine in the courtyard on the west side, and saw that the person was Shang Hu, who was extremely brave in battle when attacking Shangjia Fort, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"This guy is probing his brain in the courtyard where the female relatives are being held, I'm afraid that he has obscenity, if he hasn't committed evil deeds, otherwise he will have to send him to Guo Ye to see how Guo Ye cleans him up." The guard said.

"I just passed by and took a look." Shang Hu's skin was already black, and at this time, his face was flushed, and he was a little purple and black, and he was holding his neck to defend himself.

"Passing by? What did you say you were doing, you happened to pass by the courtyard where the female dependents were being held, and you just happened to peek on the courtyard wall? The guards ruthlessly exposed Shang Hu's lies.

"Lying on the courtyard and peeking, as long as you don't have the heart to break in, it is not a violation of military discipline," Han Qian asked the guards to retreat and asked Shang Hu, "Which girl do you fancy and are thinking about it?" If you say it, I'll ask Master Zhang to help you ask, if the other party is intentional, if it is unintentional, you don't have to think about it. ”

"No, no, I really just look at it, and I don't dare to have any delusions." Shang Hu's face turned red and he stammered.

Seeing that Shang Hu refused to say the other party's name, Han Qian followed him.

Shang Hu hesitated for a long time and refused to leave, Han Qian asked curiously, "What else is going on?" ”

"The Shang family has a grudge against me for killing my father, I don't want to use the surname Shang anymore, I want to ask the adult to give me a surname - I ran here to talk to the adult about it, but I didn't dare to disturb the adult, and somehow ran to the courtyard where the female dependents were held." Shang Hu said boldly.

"Is that what happened?" Han Qian pondered for a while and said, "Someone in my family has the surname Han Minghu, then you can Han Donghu - you can ask Guo Nuer to change the roster." ”

"Thank you, Lord for your name!" Han Donghu knocked his head excitedly, and then quickly went down the mountain.

Han Qian shook his head and smiled, he didn't know what to be happy about, and said to Zhang Ping: "There are so many people who are detained, you have to send them to Lishui quickly, don't worry about many people up and down." ”

Shang Zhongjie and the other families led a small number of elite troops to escape, but most of the female dependents in Shangjiabao were abandoned, and Han Qian did not have the idea of demoting the enemy's female dependents to the Leying brothel for the generals to enjoy, so they were all imprisoned for the time being, and also thought about letting Zhang Ping send people away as soon as possible......

…………

Although the valley at the foot of the mountain is crowded, after the Taoist Temple of Lei Ping Peak, among the remnants of the stone cliff, there is still a paradise of prosperity.

Except for the occasional passing by of people who go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and fruits and hunt mountain beasts, the people and horses in the valley usually do not climb to Lei Ping Peak to disturb the peaceful and pure life of the Taoist temple.

In the scorching summer, the old man in Tsing Yi with a sick face couldn't stand the cool air in the mountains, so he put on a robe outside his coat and sat in the remnant pavilion with Yun Puzi, the master of the temple, to play chess.

"Marquis Li killed prisoners in Lishui City, and he couldn't wait to entrust the power of the attached families, regardless of the disadvantages of their heads and tails, you really didn't come forward to mention them?" Yun Puzi's thin fingers, twisted up a chess piece, and asked if he squinted at the old man in front of him.

"I can teach everything by hand, but I can't teach it by hand, I am a dying person, who will listen to what I say?" The old man spoke open-mindedly.

"Killing prisoners is ominous after all." Yun Puzi said.

"It's not good to kill prisoners, but it's not ominous. Besides, how much blood has been stained with my subordinates in my life, and my heart is as hard as iron, what qualifications do I have to teach juniors? The old man said.

"I understand, you still have a breath to hang, no matter how big the disaster is caused by those juniors, others always have to look at your face, it is better than you bury the bones of the loess and then they break into the sky!" Yun Puzi laughed.

"In the end of life, it is inevitable to think about your children!" The old man sighed and said noncommittally.

"The Chishan Army has come to this point, King Xin and the marquis of your Li family both believe that Han Qian will represent the interests of Yue Yang, and lead the Chishan Army to stay on the front line of Maoshan and Donglushan, and believe that Han Qian will not particularly care about the food plight of the old and weak women and children, and at most expand the scope of activities to the north of Xuanzhou, but you also said that Han Qian came in accordance with his father's will - then tell me, what will the Chishan Army do next?"

Yun Puzi finally dropped the chess pieces in his hand at this time, stared at the old man in the green robe with interest and asked,

"Gu Zhilong is waiting for him in Xuanzhou, and Huanghua is even more difficult to provoke in Huzhou, right? When Han Qian first arrived in Jinling, the price of grain in Jinling was only ten or twenty yuan per stone, but two months later, the rice in Jinling City has risen to seventy or eighty yuan per stone, and the grain in the east has never been able to have a car or a boat go west. Many cold people endured the spring famine for several months, and their faces were yellow and thin, but most of the harvest after the summer was forcibly requisitioned by the Nanya Forbidden Army to serve as military food to meet the needs of the noble officials in the city. This made the Chishan army capture Shangjiabao, after the momentum soared, in the past ten days, there were 35,000 people dragging their families to join the Chishan army, so that the Chishan army at this time did not have 200,000 people, and the difference was incomparable, I believe that soon more slaves and hungry people will gather over. However, the problem is that even if the Chishan Army can make up 40,000 or 50,000 strong, more than 300,000 old and weak women and children open their mouths and 300,000 are waiting to be fed, and a large number of them are weak people who gave up first due to lack of food. The old prince judged that Han Qian had the idea of inheriting his father's legacy, and concluded that he would not let go of these many old and weak women and children, and would definitely take so many old and weak women and children out to find food in order to live so many people. I assume that all this is true, but surrounded by heroes, the Chishan army, with a rabble of 350,000 people, has to shelter 300,000 or 400,000 women and children to go around to get food, how many flaws will be exposed at that time, presumably it is not difficult for you to imagine the old prince, right? In the eyes of the family lords and the ordinary people living and working in Jiangdong, the Chishan Army at this time is no different from the Wandering Army, right? At this time, even if Huanghua can't stop the eastward advance of the Chishan army, when these three or four hundred thousand people enter Liangzhejiang, they will be like locusts everywhere, eating up the local food, so that more hungry people will be coerced, and the entire Jiangnan East Province will be destroyed. ”

"You have a lot of questions, I see that you have lost a lot of money in the past few days, but you have been thinking about this matter all the time." The old man in the green robe smiled slightly and said.

"Others expected that Han Qian would be able to sell his reputation and be a scheming and ruthless man, and he came to Jinling because he was unwilling to be snubbed by Yueyang, and intended to buy the hearts of the elite soldiers of the Dragon Bird Army, but you also said that he came to break the siege strategy of the Chuzhou army and inherit his father's legacy," Yun Puzi said, "However, I have thought about it in every way, but I don't know what he needs to do to treat those three or four hundred thousand people who will be hated by the surrounding states and counties and regarded as a rabble of locust counties under the watchful eye of tigers and wolvesβ€”or is it that the old prince has lost his eyes this time?" ”

"I don't look away, what's the matter? Han Qian recruited slaves and maids to join the army, and he expected that King Xin would be eager to follow suit, and the current situation was the same, which made the Chuzhou army, Gu Zhilong in the south, and Huanghua in the east afraid of each other, and it was difficult to join forces."

The old man saw that Yun Puzi was racking his brains to think about this, and today he finally couldn't stand it and threw out all the questions in his heart, sighed, and said,

"My younger brother was used by Han Qian to block the northwest again, I think he should have calculated a long time ago - of course, I'm a dying person, I can play a few happy chess games with my old friends to fulfill my wish, what do I want to do with that mind?"

"The old prince doesn't want to break it with me, right?" Yun Puzi asked.

"What are Han Qian's plans to break the situation, far away, what Han Daoxun and Han Qian's father and son did in Xuzhou, close, you see how Han Qian has organized these old and weak women and children in Maoshan for more than a month, and all of them are placed in front of you and me - if you need my help to break it, then even if I help you break it, you can't see through it," the old man sighed lightly, "I advise you, you can live happily in this landscape, and don't have any thoughts of going down the mountain." These days, in Maoshan Mountain, the ditches and ditches are full of people, only Chuiping Peak can isolate the world, do you think Han Qian really doesn't know you and I are hiding here? Han Qian really thought that I was just an old immortal, and I had nothing to die in this vertical peak? Han Qian is very entangled with the Shenling Division, and he is also the most guarded against the Shenling Division, you can't hide this little bit. ”

Yun Puzi was slightly stunned in his heart, is Han Qian's method of breaking the game really in front of him?

Yun Puzi still couldn't see through it, but he said with a smile on his face:

"You don't have anything to do with your Li family, the Shenling Division is divided, each competing for its own interests, I still don't know each other - I'm just curious about how Han Qian is going to clean up this mess."

The old man saw that there was still a trace of bitterness and unwillingness in Yun Puzi's eyes, and he shook his head with a sigh, and no longer tried to persuade him, but he no longer talked about this topic.
