Chapter 398: Grain Road

The rebels who lost Xu Yue and Cai XVIII were not able to resist Li Jing's attack at all, Xiaoyi City was at the place where Li Jing broke into the city gate, thousands of cavalry followed, and attacked the city, Xiaoyi had already been lost, after Xu Yue left, but more than a thousand soldiers defended Xiaoyi, where was Li Jing's opponent.

In the city of Xiaoyi, Li Jing convened the generals of the three armies in the county government, although Zhang Xiaochun and others still have some opinions on Li Jing, but the first battle decided on filial piety, and killed Xu Yue, Cai 18 and other Tian Hu's fierce generals, Zhang Xiaochun and others still admired it very much, and more importantly, over the years, Zhang Xiaochun attacked Xiaoyi several times, all of which were defeated and returned, but now Li Jing is decided by a war, and Zhang Xiaochun also has to admire Li Jing.

"Haha, general, the soldiers are soft to kill, the army of Hedong Road has not won a battle for a long time, when the lower officials entered the city just now, the three armies cheered!" Zhang Xiaochun laughed.

"Victory, this is not a real victory!" Li Jing glanced at Wei Cheng on the side and said, "General Wei, presumably the results of the battle have come out, let's say it!" ā€

"General, our army won a great victory in this battle, killing more than 5,300 rebels, capturing more than 8,500 enemies, and the rest fled in all directions." Wei Cheng's face was slightly ugly.

"So, more than 10,000 people fled in the future?" Li Jing's face was not good-looking, the army defeated the enemy, originally thought that more people could be captured, but he didn't expect that there were many people who were captured, and there were more people who escaped, and these people were all defeated, as long as you pay a little attention, the rebels captured are definitely more than that.

"General, we have already seized Xiaoyi, and it can be regarded as an opening in Fenyang Mansion." Zhang Xiaochun saw that something was wrong, but he still persuaded him: "This is all the credit of the general, and the lower official suggested that today should be celebrated." ā€

"Forget about celebrating, let the brothers below eat first, more than 10,000 enemies escape, Tian Hu must know that Fenyang Mansion is his rear, if he doesn't recapture it, let us wreak havoc here, the eastern front will not have to fight, and he can't stand it from both sides, so the enemy will definitely frantically counterattack Xiaoyi." I'm afraid there will be a big war next. Li Jing thought for a while and said: "Our soldiers and horses do not have an advantage, but in fact, Tian Hu himself does not have many soldiers and horses, and his soldiers and horses are also numerous, each with its own responsibility, if we send troops, there must be loopholes in other places, this is the opportunity I am looking for." ā€

"What does the general mean?" Zhang Xiaochun felt a hint of strangeness from Li Jing's words, and couldn't help but look at Li Jing.

"Lord Zhang can lead some men and horses to garrison Xiaoyi, and I will lead some people to cruise outside, hehe, constantly consuming Tian Hu's soldiers and horses." Li Jing said with a smile: "If the enemy comes more, we will withdraw, and we will not fight with them, if there are fewer people, we will simply eat him." ā€

Zhang Xiaochun and the others' faces lit up, and they couldn't help but say, "Please also ask the general to give orders." "After seizing filial piety, even Hong Zijian has to face Li Jing, no matter what happens in the future, at least Li Jing is still useful.

"Just attack it and save it." Li Jing waved his hand, ordered someone to open the map, looked at it, and finally pointed to Fenyang Mansion and said: "It is only a hundred miles from Xiaoyi to Fenyang Mansion, we can easily kill Fenyang Mansion, and the army will besiege Fenyang Mansion." The general of Fenyang Mansion was originally Tian Hu's younger brother Tian Leopard, with an army of 60,000 people, but unfortunately, Tian Bao led the army into Zhaode Mansion, and there were only 10,000 soldiers and horses in Fenyang Mansion, led by the generals Ma Ling, Wu Neng, and Xu Jin, oh, by the way, this Xu Jin is the younger brother of Xu Yue who was killed by us, tsk, 10,000 horses want to hold Fenyang Mansion, is it too arrogant. ā€

Zhang Xiaochun nodded, and only at this time did he feel convinced, Li Jing was born as a military general, and the way of looking at the problem was completely different, from this aspect, Li Jing entered Taiyuan, gathered the remaining soldiers and horses on Hedong Road, attacked Xiaoyi, and then besieged Fenyang Mansion, which was also a purposeful action, Fenyang Mansion only had an army of 10,000, no matter how bad his army was, it was still very interesting to attack the city of 10,000 people.

Hong Zijian was also secretly horrified in his heart, but what he and Zhang Xiaochun thought differently in their hearts, the more Li Jing knew how to fight, the more nervous he was in his heart, Li Jing was so good at fighting, after pacifying Tianhu, would the soldiers and horses on Hedong Road still belong to the imperial court? He thought of the smiles on the faces of the soldiers as the army cleaned up the battlefield.

He also followed Zhang Xiaochun to attack Tianhu in the south, and occasionally won victories, but he didn't win the hearts of the army like this, how long did Li Jing come, easily won the victory, and easily won the hearts of the army, which is not necessarily good news for Hedong Road, but only to let the soldiers and horses of Hedong Road be in the hands of Li Jing in the future, which is a bad start.

"General, attacking Fenyang Mansion is a good move, but if the enemy learns from the general, commands some soldiers and horses to drag our army, and some soldiers and horses attack Xiaoyi or Wenshui, and besieges us under Fenyang Mansion, what should we do?" Hong Zijian thought for a while and said: "Xiaguan thinks that it is important to attack the enemy, but you must also pay attention to your own defense, I don't know what the general thinks is right?" ā€

"Yes, the army has now seized Xiaoyi, which is equivalent to entering Fenyang Mansion, which is equivalent to entering the enemy's interior, attacking the enemy's territory, the grain road is the most important, we can't learn from thieves, only know that we take food from the people, our grain can only rely on Taiyuan, grain comes from Taiyuan, from Wenshui, into Xiaoyi, and finally Fenyang Mansion, if the enemy wants to cut off my grain road, only from this road, although the city of filial piety is not big, but it is particularly important." Li Jing glanced at Hong Zijian, nodded and said.

"If the general lets go of the lower officials, he will allow the lower officials to keep filial piety and defend the back of the army." Hong Zijian came out and said: "In terms of marching and fighting, the lower officials are not as good as the generals, and in terms of dealing with miscellaneous things in the army, the lower officials are not as good as Lord Zhang, but the lower officials still have some experience in dealing with grain and grass." ā€

"Yes, every time Xia Guan goes out on an expedition, Zijian handles the grain road, but there is nothing missing." Zhang Xiaochun touched his beard and nodded.

Li Jing glanced at Zhang Xiaochun, then looked at Hong Zijian, saw Hong Zijian's calm face, and the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a smile, and said: "Since Lord Hong is willing to stay in Xiaoyi, then I will place three thousand troops in Xiaoyi, even if there are tens of thousands of enemies, it is still possible for three thousand troops to defend for a day, from Fenyang Mansion to Xiaoyi, the cavalry will arrive in the morning and evening, and it will not be a big deal." I don't know if Lord Hong is willing to defend Xiaoyi with 3,000 soldiers and horses and protect our army's grain route. ā€

"Okay, good, it's rare that Lord Hong understands the righteousness so well, and when Tian Hu is solved, General Ben will definitely play the Son of Heaven and make contributions to the adults." After hearing this, Li Jing's face suddenly showed joy, looked around at the generals on the left and right, and said loudly: "You remember, you have to learn from Lord Hong, look at Lord Hong's scholars, they are all willing to guard the grain road with 3,000 soldiers and horses, you go to the battlefield, you also need to fight bravely to kill the enemy, don't let a loyal person like Lord Hong underestimate you." ā€

"Obey the orders of the great general." Li Daniu and the others shouted loudly.

Hong Zijian's face was slightly red after hearing this, and the thoughts in his heart were naturally not like this, but now that he was said by Li Jing, he didn't know what to do. (To be continued.) )
