Since the beginning of the war, the Jin army has never confronted the rebels head-on, and the tactics and tactics of the rebels' siege of the city have only been heard, and they have never seen a head-to-head confrontation, and their soldiers and generals seriously lack experience in fighting the rebels. Moreover, in this battle of Pucheng, more than 20,000 people were lost in the first battle, and the psychology of the Jin army has already had a shadow.

Even if the rebels besieged the city with 50,000 people, as long as they burned through the city gate with electroscaride, it would be easy to deal with the more than 40,000 Jin troops in Pucheng. The reason why they did not attack was that the rebels did not want to lose their soldiers and horses, and second, they kept the more than 100,000 mouths of the Jin army, which could achieve a strategic intention that was more favorable to the rebels.

If Geng Peng withdraws his troops back to Leicheng at this time, the rebels will immediately take back the men and horses that captured Leicheng, counterattack Pucheng, eat the Pucheng Jin army, and then go to Leicheng to annihilate the Leicheng Jin army. Even though the rebels' casualties increased dramatically, the balance of forces in the entire North Sea would completely fall in favor of the rebels, and the situation would be even more sinister than 130,000 more mouths.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) frowned and said:

"The Jin army suffered such a big defeat in Pucheng, and Jiguang was also besieged in Pucheng, will Wei Han's 100,000 army on the Yongxing River go north?"

"Shhh...... This did not intercept the message. Luo Songting shook his head and continued: "If this is the case, the rebels also got the news before us, and the situation will probably be even worse!" ”

At this time, Chen Yunfeng was puzzled and asked:

"How can the seniors see it?"

"The military supply center of the Xianguo is near Chenling, Wei Han's people, horses, grain and grass, are all transported from the Jin State to Shanling through the inland river, and then transferred by our army by land, so Wei Han's army grain and grass are only enough for three months, and the land route from Qiling to Beihai County is the nearest one is to go to Mochi, Zhaocheng, Hecheng, and then to Dingyang, if the rebels put Wei Han's 100,000 army into Beihai, and then cut off its way back, then Beihai County will not have another 100,000 mouths!"

As soon as Luo Songting said this, Bai Liyan was shocked:

"Oh no, the Jin army will inevitably rush to Pucheng here, and the road behind it will be unguarded, in case the rebels cut off the land passage from Hecheng to Beihai County, the grain and grass of the Jin army can only go around Maoqiu, and it will take at least fifteen days to transport the road.

In the past 15 days, the rebels have already cut off the Maoqiu grain route, and Beihai County has 230,000 more mouths out of thin air, and within two months, they will eat up all the grain and grass in Guangxin and Dingyang, and starve us to death! ”

There are three roads from Chenling to Guangxin, the latest one goes straight to Mochi, Zhaocheng, Hecheng, and then enters Dingyang, and then goes to Guangxin, the whole journey is more than 800 miles.

Although it is less than 600 miles away from Beihai County in a straight line, there are primeval forests from Dingyang and Hecheng to Xiaqu and Tiancheng in Dujun West County, which have not yet been developed, and are inaccessible to people all over the miasma swamps, and it is difficult to cross these 600 miles. Therefore, the second can only bypass the western part of the capital, and now that the western part of the capital is owned by the rebels, this path is undoubtedly different.

The third one goes east around the primeval forest, takes Maoqiu in the southeast of Beihai County, and then passes through Lincheng to reach Guangxin.

Wei Han's 100,000 Jin army went north, it must be lightly armed and simple to march in a hurry, and the rations were brought for five days, all relying on the Xianguo cities along the way.

The food consumption of 230,000 soldiers is equivalent to the food of 450,000 to 500,000 ordinary adults, and although only 230,000 mouths have been added, the actual grain consumed is equivalent to the amount of 500,000 people, a sharp increase of 500,000 mouths, and the grain and grass in Guangxin and Dingyang will be exhausted within three months.

Coupled with the 34,500 war horses of Dingyang and Guangxin, the consumption of grain will increase dramatically.

Bai Liyan woke up like a dream at this time, and thought of Thunder's multi-pronged serial plan.

"It's broken! The Black Turban Army will definitely draw another 50,000 or 60,000 horses from the Yongxing River, bypass the capital and Xijun, and wait for the Jin army to pass through, go straight to the north of Hecheng, and build a blockade on the spot to cut off the grain road. At that time, Guangxin was besieged, Lei Cheng was lost, and the grain and grass of the 230,000 Jin army were about to be cut off. ”

At this time, Jiang Min hurriedly asked:

"Can you let the Jin army come and attack the rebels besieging Guangxin!" Jiang Min said.

Luo Songting smiled bitterly:

"There is no such possibility."

"Why is that?"

"Lord, Wei Han's 100,000 Jin army is directly attacking Pucheng this time, and the rebels besieging Pucheng will definitely not continue to besiege the city, but retreat to Guangxin to the east, and join forces with the besieging Guangxin rebels, and the besieging Guangxin rebels will increase to 1340,000, or even more, Wei Han will effortlessly lift the siege of Pucheng, how can he come to save Guangxin, this is one of them.

Second, if the rebels knew that Wei Han was coming with an army, they must have attacked Leicheng again after Wei Han arrived in Pucheng, so as to delay the time for the Jin army to react when they learned of the loss of Leicheng, so as to consume the grain and grass in the hands of the Jin army. The rebels then returned the Jin army's prisoners, and the Jin army's grain and grass were cut off, and they either went to recapture Lei City, and fought quickly, or retreated to Dingyang to ask for grain and grass.

According to Luo's view, if the Jin army knew that Leicheng was lost, it would go back to recapture Leicheng as soon as possible, and the rebels would never let the Jin army succeed, and they would definitely transfer the grain and grass of Leicheng in advance.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the Jin army is menacing to rescue Guangxin, the rebels retreat to avoid its edge and withdraw south, not to mention that the more than 200,000 mouths of the Jin army Guangxin are unable to supply, and if the rebels go to besiege Dingyang again, won't it be useless.

At that time, it is the city of my Xianguo that will be besieged, and the Jin army will definitely not go to the rescue, if our army goes to save Dingyang, will the Jin army not occupy the magpie's nest and occupy Guangxin! ”

Luo Songting's words were the key point in his words, the Jin army had no good intentions to rescue Guangxin, and this time the Jin army lost more than 20,000 horses and horses, and suffered a dumb loss. Just can't find a chance to turn over, if you really let the Jin army's more than 200,000 mouths hang on Guangxin's grain bag, not only can not solve the current problem, but the Jin army will be anti-guest-oriented, if the Jin army is cut off food, the Jin army can immediately turn around and attack Guangxin, and it is still justifiable.

Hearing this, Bai Liyan thought about it for a moment and had a plan, and he hurriedly said:

"Mr. Luo, can you just let the Jin army come to Guangxin to eat food?"

Hearing this, Luo Songting reacted violently:

"How can this be, if Guangxin has more than 230,000 mouths, there will be a food shortage within three months. Besides, who will pay back the grain and grass in the public mansion! ”

"What if there is food in three months?"

"Where does the grain and grass come from?"

"First, after the Jin army's counterattack on Leicheng failed, the grain and grass were cut off, and our army could provide grain and grass in the name of deceiving the Jin army to come to relieve the siege of Guangxin and scare the rebels away. and then forced him to write a contract in black and white, asking him to borrow as much as he wanted.

Second, there will be grain and grass in Xianguo within three months, if the Jin army continues to eat and drink in Guangxin, our army will only allow it to be in March, and the grain and grass of the Jin army will be able to be transported from the Jin State warehouse to Beihai County within three months, and if the grain and grass are not transported within three months, our army will cut off grain for him. ”

"General Wei, this is a joke, who is the Jin State, that is a person who has no faith, righteousness and shame, how can he return the grain and grass that he ate in his mouth. Besides, this is 230,000 people, and the grain and grass needed in March are huge, so how can the Xianguo country have grain and grass to supply them? In case after March, I Guangxin will run out of grain, and the grain and grass of the Jin army will be transported, and then the grain and grass will be used to force the lord to give up the city, so what. ”

The Jin army is the kind of army that does absolutely shameless things, Luo Songting is not unreasonable to worry about, at that time, the Jin army will eat up the grain and grass of Guangxin, and then wait for the grain and grass of the Jin State to arrive and give the price to sit on the ground.

Not only did he not return the food, but he also watched Guangxin starving, forcing Jiang Min to give up Guangxin and garrison the Jin army, and the Jin army would definitely do this kind of thing.

But Bai Liyan was not worried, he said:

"It is precisely because the Jin army will not repay the grain, our army can write interest on the grain return deed, so that they will never be clean. If he doesn't plan to repay the grain at that time, he can slowly settle this account in the future. ”

Bailiyan said it lightly, the more Luo Songting listened, the more he felt that the situation was wrong, it was said that Bailiyan would never boast, he hurriedly asked:

"What does General Wei mean?"

"His Jin army must transport grain from the sea, and his escort army must not be much, when the first batch of grain and grass of the Jin army arrives, if he does not plan to return it, the waterway of the North Sea is open at the gate of our Xianguo, he said that if he does not pay it back, he will not pay it back, where is it so cheap.

Let's take the waterway of Beihai and dispatch the Xianjun Naval Division to Jiangdong and Dongyuan seaways, specifically intercept the official ships, civilian ships and merchant ships of the Jin Kingdom, and after interception, we don't want the goods, we don't take the money, and we don't kill people, all of them are detained, and let the Jin Kingdom return the grain, and we will release the people and goods.

If he doesn't pay it back, we will deduct it every day and every month, until the Jin Kingdom spits out the grain and grass that he has eaten, and even the one with interest! Could it be that he Jin Guo ate our grain and didn't pay it back when he occupied our place, so he still had a reason to do it? In the current situation, if he dares to make a move, he knows better than anyone what the consequences will be. ”

After listening to Bai Liyan's words, Luo Songting, Jiang Min, and Chen Yunfeng were stunned for a long time and didn't come back, Luo Songting suddenly found that Bai Liyan was shameless, that was really shameless, and the Jin army was simply not at the same level.

After a moment of silence, Luo Songting said:

"What will happen if Guangxin has no food after three months?"

"There will be grain after March, and there will be grain and grass as soon as next month."

Luo Songting was skeptical:

"Why is General Wei so sure?"

"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, and Wei Mou has never lied."

"This ...... Yes, but this matter is very important, and General Wei must have a basis to persuade Luo and the lord. ”

"Well, if the 100,000 troops of the Liang army are as expected, they should be in the south of the east bank of the Yongxing River more than 20 days ago, and they should be cultivated by horses, and the summer ploughing can open up 1.5 million to 1.8 million mu of land.

Even if it is calculated at one and a half stones per mu, at least 2.2 million to 2.5 million stone grain and grass can be harvested in the late autumn of this year. Not only can it solve the urgent needs of our army, but it can also cope with the grain shortage in early Ming and Ming for one or two months, and this alone can temporarily ensure that Beihai County has no worries about grain and grass in the second half of this year. ”

"This is the only one, only enough for Beihai County, how can it be enough for the whole country and the Yongxing army to deal with, General Wei will not have another source of food and grass."

Luo Songting got to the bottom of it, and Bai Liyan didn't deny it, he said:

"Yes, but the heavens must not be divulged. Unless necessary, it must not be leaked, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Jiang Gong and Mr. Luo, I don't know what Wei's plan is. ”

"The stakes are very high, and let Gu and Mr. Luo and others think about it in the long run, and it will not be too late to reply to General Wei in two days." After finishing speaking, Jiang Min stroked his slightly yellow beard from time to time, but his eyes kept going back and forth with Luo Songting and Chen Yunfeng, obviously unable to make up his mind.
