Chapter 401: Grain and Grass
On the way to Fenyang Mansion, a group of men and horses are mighty, the flag covers the sky and the sun, the front flag has a word "Tian" written on it, and several cavalry led by a stout man with an arrogant face, but it is Tian Hu's brother, the general Tian Biao, this time he led an army of 50,000 to aid Fenyang Mansion, and the generals around him are like clouds, in the face of Li Jing, he doesn't care.

"I think that Li Jing is not a famous guy, if the Western Army comes, I will definitely persuade my eldest brother to raise an army and fight with him, but who is Li Jing, an ant-like character, is actually so presumptuous, that is, Ma Ling is incompetent, so that Fenyang Mansion will be in such a situation, so that I can lead the army to save it." Tian Biao rode on the horse, beaming proudly.
"The last general has never heard of Li Jing's name, and he doesn't know which horn he came from." Mei Yu also spoke.
"General, the last general thinks that Li Jing can find a fighter and lead the army to attack Fenyang Mansion directly, which shows that this person is still a little capable, and the general should be careful." It was the palace marshal Sun An who spoke, in fact, Jinning's soldiers and horses were mainly in the hands of Sun An, Sun An was under the command of Tian Hu, and he was barely a person who was proficient in the battle array, but although Sun An was good, he was feared by Tian Biao, and the relationship between the two sides was not very good.
"Sun An, have you heard of Li Jing? I think it's just that there are fewer soldiers and horses in Fenyang Mansion, which will cause the immediate matter, otherwise, where do I need to wait for the horse. Tian Biao said disdainfully, he obviously didn't take Li Jing in his heart, Li Jing can be commendable is probably to exterminate the Liangshan bandits, but he exterminated the Liangshan bandits, focusing on sneak attacks, where is the real ability, in Tian Biao's opinion, this is shameless, how can he take it to heart.
After Sun An heard this, he was persuading a few words, but when he saw Tian Biao's impatient appearance, he immediately put aside a little thought in his heart. Thinking about it, Li Jing may be powerful, but the army of the imperial court is there, even if it is a powerful soldier and horse, it is impossible to complete the training in a short time and reach the elite, if you want to hear that Tian Biao's tens of thousands of troops are coming, I am afraid that I will have fled back to Wenshui long ago.
Under Fenyang City, in the big camp, there were bursts of shouting and killing, and the entire camp entered the training mode, this is a rare good opportunity, how could Li Jing give up, Ma Ling and others in Fenyang Mansion were only 10,000 horses, and they lost Xu Jin, Ma Ling didn't dare to send troops, but there was enough food and grass in Fenyang City, which made Ma Ling feel at ease.
In the camp, Li Jing, Zhang Xiaochun and others gathered in the big tent, and in front of them was a map of the entire Hedong Road, Li Jing pointed to the map in front of him and said: "Tian Hu has asked the soldiers and horses of Jinning Mansion to come to the rescue of Fenyang, hehe, the army has set off, everyone, our enemy is coming." Li Jing pointed to the map in front of him with a bamboo cane in his hand, and said: "His soldiers and horses went up along the Fen River, from Linfen to Huoyi, hehe, this place is a good place, but after Huoyi, I don't know where to go, or go to the Bird Mouse Valley, or cross Fenxi, I don't know yet." If you go to the Bird Mouse Valley, it will be interesting. ”
If Li Jing occupies this place now, he will definitely be able to block Tian Biao in the south of the Bird Mouse Valley and prevent him from entering the territory of Fenyang.
"How about occupying the Bird Valley?" Wei Cheng couldn't help but say, "In this way, the general can block Tian Biao south of the Bird Mouse Valley." Tian Hu had to send troops in person. ”
"If Tian Hu comes, the pressure on our army will be too great, and we don't have many soldiers and horses, so we can't defeat two people at the same time. Destroying all the way is all the way, since Tian Biao is here, then we will destroy Tian Biao first. Zhang Xiaochun shook his head and said.
Li Jing nodded, Zhang Xiaochun was still very sensible, he didn't have the slightest carelessness because of the situation in front of him, and said with a smile at the moment: "Tian Hu let Tian Biao come, I feel a lot more relieved, in comparison, Tian Hu's soldiers and horses are all elite, but Tian Biao's soldiers and horses are a little worse, our soldiers have just strengthened their training, and they can't deal with Tian Hu's soldiers and horses, and they can't deal with Tian Biao's soldiers and horses, and they are just right to use them for military training." ”
Zhang Xiaochun and others blushed slightly when they heard this, the soldiers and horses on Hedong Road caused the current situation, everyone is responsible, the civil officials do not pay attention to the samurai, the military generals eat empty salaries, drink the blood of the soldiers, where can they have the heart to train, Li Jing surrounded the point to send reinforcements, but also because the soldiers and horses under his command are not elite enough, and it is okay to fight a smooth battle, but once the war is blocked, the soldiers and horses under his command will definitely flee in all directions. That's why the Fenyang Mansion trained troops.
"The general won the battle, and the morale of the soldiers is still very good." Wei Cheng changed the subject a little awkwardly and said. Morale is a strange thing, if you can win the battle for a long time, even if it is a herd of sheep, when facing tigers and leopards, it can exert its combat effectiveness for a long time. The Song army used to face Tian Hu, and it has always been more than losses and fewer wins, and the soldiers must have no morale, plus the deduction of the soldiers' salaries, they don't want to fight anymore, after following Li Jing, they won two battles in a row, and their hearts naturally had morale.
"Well, the soldiers are eating well, they are dressed well, and they have won battles, so they are training and energetic." Zhang Xiaochun laughed and said: "At this time, it is also a rare thing to be able to eat enough. "Li Jing's training is good in this aspect, and it is rare in ancient times to be able to feed these soldiers.
"Li Jing is just a businessman, and he has a lot of money in his hands, hehe, of course, it will definitely not work for a long time, even if Li Jing is rich, it is impossible to supply so many elite troops." Li Jing's eyes flickered, he wanted to occupy the territory, didn't he turn his family into a country and use the power of a place to support these troops, otherwise, even if he inherited the treasure of the sealing pile, the treasures of the Lu family, the money of the Chai family and the gold and silver treasures of the Liangshan thieves, but now he is spending money like water, hundreds of thousands of troops have to rely on Li Jing, and the money given by the imperial court has not played much role at all.
"General." At this time, Yang Zaixing walked in with a gloomy face, whispered a few words in Li Jing's ear, and then glanced at Zhang Xiaochun and the others, and withdrew from the big tent. Before leaving, he also glanced at Zhang Xiaochun and others, and there was a trace of ruthlessness behind his eyes.
"General." Zhang Xiaochun and the others obviously saw that Yang Zaixing had something important to report, and even had something to do with himself and others, so they immediately asked.
"Lord Zhang, our grain and grass haven't come for three days." Li Jing threw aside the bamboo cane in his hand and said very calmly: "How long does it take to transport grain and grass from Xiaoyi to Fenyang Mansion, is Xiaoyi's grain and grass not enough?" ”
Zhang Xiaochun's face changed when he heard this, the grain and grass were raised by Hong Zijian, sitting in Xiaoyi, and it was his duty to transport the grain and grass, and now he has not delivered the grain and grass for three days, which is obviously abnormal.
"General, is there something delayed on the road?" Wei Cheng said with some hesitation.
"It stands to reason that you arrived last night at the latest, and now it's noon on the third day, so, Lord Zhang, what do you say?" Li Jing sneered: "If the grain and grass are not delivered, the soldiers will have nothing to eat, and if they don't have to eat, they will have no energy, and if the enemy doesn't attack, we will all be defeated." This responsibility? Who's to blame? ”
"General, how many days can our grain and grass last?" Zhang Xiaochun was shocked in his heart, but still asked.
"Two days." Li Jing said without hesitation: "Our grain and grass can only last for two days, and now if we retreat, we still have a chance to make a comeback, but if we don't retreat, I'm afraid?" Li Jing didn't say it.
"Two days, there is still a chance, and the lower official wants to go to Xiaoyi in person. Please also ask the general to complete. Zhang Xiaochun thought about it and said. (To be continued.) )
