Chapter 136: Cao Cao Comes to Vote
"Although my purpose this time is to take Luoyang, this is not all my purpose! Luoyang is actually just a fat bait, it can be said to be our meat! It's not too much of a problem when to take it, with our current strength, it shouldn't be a problem to fight Luoyang! The key is to consume the strength of the officers and soldiers! It's called Siege Reinforcements! Hehe!
The reason why we don't fight Yanshi is because we want to leave a back road for Luoyang, and everyone must understand that once we defeat Yanshi, it will be equivalent to putting Luoyang City in a Jedi, although it cuts off the possibility of Luoyang receiving aid, but we can no longer expect which direction the officials and soldiers will attack our back!
Besides, according to the information found out by the detailed work, Henan Prefecture is now very short of both food and salary, and the more officials and soldiers come, the greater the pressure on them! You can think about it, if tens of thousands of officers and soldiers are gathered outside Luoyang City, and so many tens of thousands of mouths want to eat and drink, what will he Feng Yijun give them to eat and drink, and what will he use to pay them?
You must know that there are now seven prefectures and counties in Henan Province under our control, and he can't raise so many soldiers, salaries, grain and grass in a short period of time!
This is also the reason why I am not in a hurry to close the door of Yanshi, if someone is willing to come, let them come, and see what they eat outside Luoyang City! Hehe!
So Xiong Wencan is not here now, let's take this opportunity to grab more territory, if it is not as I expected, Xiong Wencan will not just send Chen Yongfu and a sentry to aid Luoyang, he does not dare to be so big, he will definitely find a way to mobilize troops from Jiangbei to come to help, we are too fast to fight Ruzhou this time, and we didn't give them a chance, then I will fight Baofeng and Lushan again, and see if they can come in time! ”
After listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, everyone else showed joy, nodded and said yes, but Niu Jinxing and Li Jinde did not smile, Niu Jinxing frowned and asked Xiao Tianjian: "Although this matter was agreed upon by the marshal Yu Hu, but the marshal also knows that the Fu King in Luoyang City is rich and rival the country in Daming, and he may have more than 10 million gold and silver hidden in his home, as long as he loosens his hand a little and takes out 100,000 taels of silver, the problem of military salaries will be solved, plus the granary of the palace, I am afraid that the military rations will not be a problem!" The marshal firmly thought that Feng Yijun couldn't raise food and rice in Luoyang, why was this? If the marshal's expectation is good, there should be no problem with this arrangement, but once the marshal's expectation is wrong, I'm afraid things will be in big trouble! ”
Xiao Tianjian has learned a dime a dime from this Fu King in later generations in relevant historical materials, so he knows better than anyone what this Fu King is, so he has long expected that Fu Wang will never take money to help him, let alone open his palace granary to give relief! That's why he dared to make up his mind.
However, for Xiao Tianjian's prediction, although Niu Jinxing finally agreed to Xiao Tianjian's arrangement, like Li Jinde, he was a little afraid to really believe what Xiao Tianjian said about this matter.
"Haha...... It seems that Mr. Niu still doesn't believe my Xiao's words! But this time, believe it or not, let me decide for a while, and you will know if my prediction is wrong! If I am wrong, I will personally ask you to punish myself! After Xiao Tianjian heard Niu Jinxing's words, he laughed out loud and said to Niu Jinxing, Li Jinde and the others in a betting tone.
Niu Jinxing looked at Xiao Tianjian's confident expression, for some reason, he also felt confident, after all, Xiao Tianjian has always been very steady, and he rarely takes risks in what he does, and he can often guess the decision of the government, so that he has led the Xingtian Army to the point where it is now, and anyone can see that now among the rebel armies, Xiao Tianjian has overwhelmed the limelight of all the leaders of the rebel army. Xingtianjun has become the leader of the righteous army, if Xiao Tianjian is a blindly confident person, he will not fight for such a situation with a pair of hands no matter what.
As for why Xiao Tianjian was so confident, he firmly thought that King Fu would not take out money and food, Niu Jinxing couldn't guess it, but he believed that Xiao Tianjian's prediction this time should not be wrong, so he bowed down and said to Xiao Tianjian: "Then I believe in the words of the big handsome!" I am willing to listen to the command of the great commander! ”
Li Jinde looked at Niu Jinxing, although he was still a little skeptical of Xiao Tianjian's judgment, but since Xiao Tianjian said so, he was the master of the Xingtianjun, and if Xiao Tianjian wanted to do this, he had no way to stop it, so he had to stop expressing any objections.
"Report! The Lu clan guard, Gao Shuxian, sent someone to send an urgent report! While Xiao Tianjian was discussing his next move with the others, a guard shouted loudly outside the big tent door.
"Say! What's going on over there with the Lu family? Xiao Tianjian immediately stopped his deliberations, turned to the guard at the door of the big tent and asked.
"Qiqi Marshal, just now Gao Shuxian sent someone to send an urgent report, saying that Cao Cao Luo Rucai led his troops to suddenly appear in the Wulichuan area in the south of the Lu Clan, Gao Shuxian has already sent a reserve battalion to Wulichuan to fortify, how to deal with it, please make a decision!" The guard replied loudly.
Xiao Tianjian was stunned for a moment, and everyone was a little stunned, because before this, Jiang Qin had collected information that Luo Rucai was still active in the Shangluo area, how could he suddenly appear in the territory of the Lu clan in less than ten days?
Xiao Tianjian couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, feeling that Jiang Qin and their Intelligence Department had not done a good job this time, and they hadn't noticed such a big thing in advance.
In fact, Xiao Tianjian's complaint is that Jiang Qin and the personnel of their intelligence department are a little too harsh, with the level of communication in this era, coupled with the fact that western Henan and eastern Shaanxi are mountains, the action is very inconvenient, not to mention, the forces on the road are like dogs' teeth, even if the news is carefully investigated, it is difficult to quickly send the information back to Jiang Qin's hands, not to mention that this time Cao Cao Luo Rucai's actions are very fast, in order to save his life, it can be said that he ran away with his subordinates day and night, even if the Xingtianjun sent out the details to find out his whereabouts, There was no time to return the letter to the court, so when Luo Rucai led his troops to flee into Lushi County, Jiang Qin had no chance to receive his news at all, which is also the reason why the government often suffers, that is, because the mobility of the righteous army is too strong, and the government often has no time to react, and the righteous army has already been missing, so now Xiao Tianjian's intelligence transmission speed in the future generations to ask Jiang Qin is obviously a bit harsh.
"How many soldiers and horses did Luo Rucai bring this time?" Xiao Tianjian immediately asked.
"According to Gao Shuxian's report, Luo Rucai came to the Lu clan this time, and only brought 3,000 troops, and he didn't find the officials and soldiers chasing after him!"
Xiao Tianjian waved his hand to let the guards who reported the news retreat, looked at the people in the tent, and suddenly laughed: "Hehe! I didn't expect that! The first one to come to us was Luo Rucai! Speaking of which, when I led my troops from Shaanxi to Shanxi, I also dealt with Luo Rucai's subordinates, but that time was not pleasant! Hehe! ”
Luo Lidang laughed even after haha, and said to Niu Jinxing and other senators who didn't know much about the situation: "Mr. Niu, you don't know about this, a few years ago, Dashuai led me to wait in Shanxi, and when I walked to Huanglong, I ran into a group of people who actually wanted to rob us, but we beat us up, not only did not rob us, but we robbed us cleanly, and later I learned that it was Luo Rucai's subordinates, and it was estimated that Luo Rucai was angry enough, but there was nothing to do with us!" Hey! ”
Niu Jinxing arched his hand and said: "Congratulations to the marshal, Luo Rucai led his troops to vote, which is good news for the marshal!" You must know that Luo Rucai is a well-known figure in the rebel army, with him to vote, are you worried that other rebels will not come to join the marshal in the future? In this way, the handsome will definitely be powerful, so why not take the world? ”
(I was dizzy yesterday and forgot to ask for a ticket!) Hehe! Make it up today! Ask for votes! )
