The main major rivers and waterways in the east and central part of Po Song Province flow from south to north, and after the central part is the Po Song River, which flows from west to east, the water surface is wide, the widest point reaches 11 to 13 li, and the narrowest place also has 4 li, even in winter, its water surface is still very wide.

After discussing with Gongliangwen, Bailiyan and Gongliangwen hit it off, so as to carry forward the "jumping tactics" of the Xian army and invade the hinterland of the Jinxuedi people to plunder the people of the Central Plains and strengthen the momentum of the coalition army.

The Jinxuedi people were forced to either continue to expand their army and drag down their financial and material resources, or they could send troops to pursue in vain.

In addition, Bailiyan was also worried that the war had been going on for the fifth year since it began in 658, and that the next year would be the sixth year, and if the Jin Xuedi people won in Qianyue Mountain, most of them would have to withdraw some soldiers and horses, and if they were defeated, they would retreat in a big way. At that time, the new strength of its own territory will be less than 1.23 million, and with the current state of the Chubigon coalition army, it will not be able to gain a foothold. Until then, we must strengthen ourselves as soon as possible and seek long-term perseverance.

Cavins repaired overnight, and the next day he inspected the new appendages.

The two new subjects who were coerced before were not honest at first, and it is said that the educational effect on the day of the massacre was very significant, and it strengthened the courage of many people who were ready to move. Some unstable elements, under the influence of the unrepentant Central Plains thieves, secretly engaged in trouble, and were secretly executed by Sikong Nan before and after finding out more than 80 Central Plains thieves, and beheaded more than 40 unstable elements.

Previously, Bailiyan learned from the captured middle and low-level military attachés of Jin Xuedi that the Jin Xuedi people had always counted on the Central Plains thieves to report to them, but two years later, there were only a handful of Central Plains thieves who escaped from the coalition forces to report the news, and some of the Central Plains thieves were still designed by the coalition forces to let them go.

After a long time, Jin Xuedi people really couldn't figure out how the coalition army had cleaned up all the thieves in the Central Plains silently, and the means used to deal with the rebels before had almost all failed in the coalition army.

In the morning, the people were inspected, and in the afternoon, the city defense was redeployed. Lu Gao was in poor health and vomited several times on the boat, which was not only seasickness, but also the sequelae of the respiratory tract and bronchial tubes after lung injury, resulting in poor breathing and insufficient oxygen supply.

Bai He, Fang Liang, and Tian Peng will follow the navy, and their subordinates will leave a number of cronies and the headquarters of the miners' battalion, and all the infantry troops of their subordinates will stay in Patins, and 10,000 sailors will be transferred back from the south of Sikong to replenish the fleet.

De Ranky's wounded were all transferred to Parvins, and some baggage, especially iron pickaxes and other tools, Bailiyan ordered Lu Gao to prioritize digging bomb shelters and reinforcing the city walls.

Although the preparation period of the Zoroshi machine is long, it does not mean that the Jinxuedi people will not mobilize other destructive combat equipment, such as the small No. 1 and No. 2 trebuchet, the Flying Eagle Beast, etc., which are extremely easy to manufacture and deploy.

Pavens is a small city, the density of more than 100,000 people is very high, even though they are mainly stone buildings, it is okay to resist arrows, but the stone attack cannot be parried at all, and it may even mobilize war beasts to attack the city.

After a day and two nights in Patins, he sailed north down the Bedmis River to Boglath.

When Mooney heard that the allied sailors had suddenly gone north, he couldn't help but be puzzled, and three days later, when he heard the news that Bailiyan had entered Bogratt to break through the water village, he was even more puzzled:

"What are they going to do, aren't they crazy!"

"Your Excellency, they just want to plunder more supplies from the west of the water, so that they can continue to hold on next year." Norrengar Road.

"Then why don't you want to think about it, they are now divided into three routes, hundreds of miles apart, and they have always been maintained by the navy, and now the navy is advancing westward, these three soldiers and horses will become lone troops in a blink of an eye, and they will be surrounded and defeated by us one by one, are they all fools!"

"This ...... Maybe it's to divert our attention again, to make a noise, or to turn the tiger away from the mountain. ”

"Is that possible?" Mooney questioned, even he was skeptical.

"Otherwise, divide a cavalry and let the navy follow, if they dare to land and attack, simply inflict heavy damage on them at all costs!"

"It seems that this is the only way to do it first, but we still have to guard against it. I immediately sent a letter to Gudapa asking him to rebuild a cavalry. ”

Two days later, Maxima arrived in Po Song with a letter from Mooney, and the order to continue the army and recruit cavalry stumped Gudapa:

"What the hell, 800,000 people are not enough, and the army has to be expanded, where is the money to expand the army now, the treasury has long been emptied!"

Putting the letter on the table, Gudapa was angry. At this time, the administrative officer on the side said carefully:

"My lord, the number of young and strong peasants in and outside the Guanguan has decreased sharply, and if you want to form a new army, you have to recruit new soldiers from various estates, which is probably not easy."

"But seeing that the rebels have swelled from a few thousand to four or five hundred thousand now, and maybe six hundred thousand in another half a month, what is the use of talking about it now! Recruits were recruited from various estates first, and they had to be armed within three months. ”

"Where does the money come from?"

"This is to defend the property of the lords and officials themselves, and the army they have formed still needs to be paid by the municipal and state treasury, are they embarrassed to reach out? Inform all municipal and provincial officials that the meeting will begin tomorrow morning. Don't forget, the priests also brought me in. They always said they would win, and now that it's like this, they have to have an explanation! ”

"Obey your order, I'll do it immediately."

The administrative officer left for a moment, and Kabias burst into the office in a rage:

"My Executive, Lord Gudapa, you are so daring!"

Gudapa frowned and asked vigilantly:

"What's the matter, Kabias!"

"I just got the news that you have seized the news of the Mooney massacre of the original people, right?"

"yes, it's me, they rioted, you know."

"But the Central Plains people massacre by Mooney did not riot, they were all honestly farming for us."

Gudapa was furious when he heard the news:

"Then do you know that nearly 200,000 Central Plains people east of Gitnas will soon rebel, do you know, a well-trained Central Plains army of 80,000 or 90,000 people captured several Central Plains villages in Gitnas more than ten days ago, maybe now, they have grown to 100,000 or even 200,000, Mooney ordered to kill all the Central Plains people south of Pavins, in order to prevent future troubles."

"Kill them, who will pay us the pitiful taxes. The war on the front line is not unfavorable, and you don't know that the prisoners captured by His Majesty will not come back at all for two years, and who will pay us taxes during this period. Do you know that now that the war tax has been levied in Kannai, if the number of Central Plains people continues to decrease, we don't have to wait until next summer, and the finances of Posong Province will be dragged down. ”

"Come on, don't think I don't know, from the nobles, officials, priests, down to the lords and merchants of the manor, who doesn't make a lot of money and is so rich, you only need to take out a small amount, which is enough to cope with two or three years.

I'll tell you the truth, Mooney wants to recruit another new army in three months, and I've ordered the recruitment of new soldiers from all the estates to settle the problem of soldiers. ”

"What, you're crazy. Whoever took away the manor, who will pay us taxes, are you drunk! ”

"No, I'm sober, very sober."

"No, Gudapa, you can't do that, it's going to ruin our finances!"

"This army is there to defend our interests and wealth, and the officials and lords of the estates who are desperate for luxury should be well aware of this, and I am doing it for their good."

"There are more than 800,000 people in Mooney, Temir, Esces, and Cartonson, and more than 800,000 people can't solve hundreds of thousands of rabble!"

"It's the rabble in your mouth, which has gone from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands in just two years, and we have paid the price of three or four hundred thousand casualties and millions of silver coins.

Do you know how they dealt with us, they actually made flour into flatbread from an iron pan and put it on the front and back of the chest, it was such a cake that even our best strong bow could not shoot through, even better than iron armor.

It's this rabble, eating bloody bread and fighting us in it, like a miracle, can you believe it! ”

"That's the incompetence of Mooney and Temir, they have betrayed His Majesty's trust, and they should be fully responsible for it."

"Come on, when the northerners attacked the fortification team, we should have sent a large army to recruit them, and then they got into the cupigon, I asked for instructions from Your Majesty, but you refused, if it weren't for you, how could there be today!"

"How dare you accuse me!"

Kabias was furious, his face suddenly showed hideousness, and Gudapa confronted:

"I'm telling the truth, isn't it?"

"No, that's not true. The fact is that the northerners plotted to start a riot from the very beginning, and we were unprepared and were caught off guard by them. ”

"You're so nasty, shameless! If you even make up this kind of thing, you should be fully responsible for today's situation! ”

"Hmph, I don't know who is responsible, let's see!"

Kabias left angrily, Gudapa suffered another setback at the next day's city council, and huge disagreements put the expansion on hold, citing financial constraints.

But just four days after the end of the meeting, Bailiyan ransacked a fleet, intercepted a 4,000-stone ship, four 3,000-stone ships, and seven 2,000-stone and thousand-stone clippers, and seized a large number of spices, jewelry, gold and silver coins, and leather goods.

The size of the fleet quickly exceeded 320 ships, and more than 2,000 oarsmen and slaves of the Central Plains people were rescued.

In particular, the coalition forces have always occupied the upper reaches, and the downstream is slightly unacquainted, and the upstream is at least dumping oil and setting fires, and at the worst, several or a dozen gunpowder fishing boats are going down the river, and the Jinxuedi warships are easily afraid to approach.
