Chapter 263: Opposite
"I'm going in the right direction." Standing outside Quanzhou City, watching the tens of thousands of Lu Jiajun army building camps in an orderly manner and setting up their own trebuchets, Lu Peng looked at the letter sent by Liu Bei with trembling hands, and said to the civil and martial arts around him.
A group of civil and military officers stood by Lu Peng's side, looking at the huge army in front of them, their chests were full of pride, and they were very confident in attacking Quanzhou.
Quanzhou is not a state, but a county, located in the later Tanggu place of Tianjin. Behind him is the vast Great Plains, the fertile land, facing the huge Bohai Bay, is an excellent granary salt field, Lu Peng has long had the intention of annexing him.
"The strategy I agreed with Mr. Tian at the beginning was to take advantage of Liu Bei's troops to Yuyang and contain Yuyang's main force, take Quanzhou, so that he could not come back and forth to rescue."
Zhang Yan nodded, looking at his subordinates who had already begun to reorganize the formation and set up trebuchets for the siege, he sighed with emotion: "The decision of the lord Mr. Hetian to take Quanzhou is extremely wise, as long as Quanzhou is taken, it can be connected with our base area, so that our base area will be doubled immediately." Let us have more room to display our ambitions. ”
"It's not just as simple as doubling the size, the most important thing is to take Quanzhou, which is equivalent to expanding the connection between our Lu County and Qingzhou, so that a large number of displaced people from the chaotic Qingzhou can directly flow into our base area." Tian Feng took a step forward and continued to explain to everyone the importance of taking Quanzhou, "What is the most important thing in the era of war? Tian Feng waved his hand very imposingly: "Population." ”
"And Quanzhou after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, coupled with the brutal slaughter and destruction of Wuhuan, has long been ten rooms and nine empty, and the clans here have almost been looted and slaughtered by the brutal Wuhuan people, for which a large amount of land has been released, which can be collected by the government, and contracted to resettle those ordinary people, so that it will be more able to attract the inflow of displaced people from Qingzhou and the adjacent Yizhou Bohai Sea, so a virtuous circle, our strength will reach a new level." Lu Peng proudly stated his purpose: "My principle is to always advocate that there is no profit, so why should we fight him." “
"However, Liu Bei has already sent troops, and Lord Zhou Mu has also urged us to cooperate, if we are so blatantly opposite, I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain to the state pastor in the future." Zhang Yan reminded carefully. After all, this is the first time to cooperate with Liu Bei, the first time to obey the orders of the state pastor, and the first time to violate their orders and cooperate, it will leave a bad impression on the state pastor, which makes Zhang Yan very worried.
Lu Peng snorted: "Who said that I disobeyed the order of the state pastor?" Fighting Yuyang Wuhuan is fighting, fighting Quanzhou Wuhuan is fighting, but it is reversed successively, besides, I have explained our difficulties in detail to the state pastor, in case my army pours out, and as a result, our salt works are attacked and destroyed by Quanzhou Wuhuan, the consequences are very serious. ”
This reason is quite sufficient and lofty, and now the salt field in Luxian County is the money bag of Youzhou Mansion, although there is almost no money flowing in, but will it be in the future.
"The reason is very good, but we still have to solve the enemy in Quanzhou as soon as possible, after all, our purpose of using this opportunity to seize territory is very urgent, don't really let Liu Bei take the lead in pacifying Zhang Ju, then we will have no excuse." Tian Feng worriedly suggested to Lu Peng.
According to reliable sources, Wuhuan and Zhang Chun, who are now entrenched in Quanzhou, have a total of 5,000 men and horses, and he sent 10,000 troops this time.
Lu Peng said confidently: "Hurry up, no problem, I think today we are going to rest for a day, tomorrow at sunrise we will start the attack, about sunset we can sit on the city tower and drink tea." ”
Everyone is skeptical about Lu Peng's self-confidence, only Lu Peng is full of confidence.
"I have five victories, five defeats, and listen to me." Lu Peng pointed his finger and told everyone the reason. Didn't the ancients like this tune? Then I will give him an argument of a few wins and a few defeats, and maybe he will be famous for eternity.
"First, according to our Jinyi Guard's reconnaissance, although there are 5,000 enemies in Quanzhou now, they are actually two parts, these two parts are Zhang Chun's Han army, and the other part is Wuhuan's alien army. The Wuhuan people looked down on the Han army, and they either beat and scolded the Han army, and slashed and killed at every turn, simply claiming to be the emperor of the ether, and the Han army was already unbearable to the Wuhuan people, so they couldn't form a joint force at all. Therefore, our army is united in one mind, and the enemy army looks like a god, and this is also the same. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, the Wuhuan people have always looked down on the Han army, thinking that the Han army is just their own minions, and they are still invited by them to help them, of course, they are even more arrogant, so the Han army has complained, if it really fights, there will definitely be mutual dissatisfaction, and of course the command will not be unified, an army that cannot be unified is actually not an army.
"Second, due to the ferocity of Wuhuan, this Quanzhou has become a hell on earth, according to the report of Jinyiwei, the people in the city have long been slaughtered by the Wuhuan people, we can let go of our hands and feet to attack without worrying, when the time comes, I will simply use my catapult to throw a large number of fire oil bombs into the city, and simply give him a fire to burn the city and burn those bastards."
For foreign races, Lu Peng has no mercy. The new catapult built by himself is not only equipped with stone eggs, but also equipped with fire oil bombs, and now there are no people in the city, only animals, burn them, and can avenge those people.
Then everyone excitedly waited for Lu Peng to say that the next one must win or lose. As a result, there was no result.
"Lord, didn't you say five wins and five defeats? Why is this gone? ”
Lu Peng said very seriously: "Could it be that there are two such points, are we still afraid that we won't be able to take Quanzhou?" Need anything else? Victory will be ours. ”
That's right, in fact, these two points are completely enough, and we will definitely be able to win this battle in Quanzhou.
After the transformation of the catapult of the Lu shed, the pulley lever and other advanced scientific components are installed, not only the weight of the whole body is greatly reduced, it can be disassembled and assembled freely, and it also reduces the operation of personnel, now a catapult, only need, ten people can be easily operated, all breathtaking, have called the artifact.
At the same time, Lu Peng ordered pottery kilns around the country to fire a large number of hollow pottery bombs, and filled them with fire oil, which became the most ferocious siege weapon now, so everyone is confident in taking Quanzhou quickly.
