Chapter 222: Battle of Changzhou (2)

"Entering Changzhou, we will face not only the Nanyi army and the defenders of Chengjia in various places, but also the Qin army, which is very likely to be strong, the victory or defeat of this battle is not only whether we can occupy Changzhou, but also whether our army can rise smoothly and whether it can stand in this world. Therefore, in this battle, I will take the Northern Army, the Southern Army, the Six Battalions of the Central Army, and the Right Guard Army into Changzhou in the north, and all the armies must do their best, and the day of victory in the war is the time for you to worship the generals."

Facing the eager eyes of the generals in the account, Sima Yu slowly raised his voice and threw a bombshell.

"Your Majesty!"

"Swear to break the Qin army!"

As soon as Sima Yu's words fell, everyone in the account was boiling, and they all blushed and said excitedly, even Li Mu, Hu Luguang and others, who had always been calm.

The prince will have a kind of Xiangning!

The reason why Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising was able to sweep the entire Great Qin in a short period of time is because this sentence represents the most common values and expectations in the hearts of the world, and it is also the highest pursuit of all civil and military generals.

Sima Yu's words revealed to everyone the determination to build the country and be the emperor, and the founding hero, what a noble honor this is, how can they not be excited.

"In addition, the battle of Changzhou may not end in a short time, the three counties of Chenshi, Yunlong, and Jinsha have just experienced war, and the economy has not yet recovered, and there are many deserters hidden in the local area. Therefore, I decided to set up a three-county governor's office in addition to the three-county county capital, the three-county governor's office is in charge of civil affairs, and the governor's office is the governor of the three county military, responsible for recruiting 20,000 new troops, eliminating bandits in various places, maintaining stability in the three counties, and ensuring logistics and supply for the army, as for the governor's position, Murong Han, the general of An Yuan, temporarily replaced."

Governor's Mansion, this is a long-term idea in Sima Yu's heart.

Since Sima Yu became king, the southern palace has set up five armies in the east, west, south, north and middle, as well as the left and right guards and the north and south battalions of the water division, with a total of 380,000 regular troops.

Coupled with the county soldiers and brocade guards stationed in various counties, the total number of troops under the rule of the entire southern king was close to 500,000.

This number seems to be huge, but since the seizure of Jinzhou hegemony, the number of troops has been insufficient.

After Meng Heng took effect, the territory of Yong, Tianjin, and Kui Prefecture has exceeded one million square kilometers, and the people under his rule are close to 10 million.

The soldiers of each county need to be stationed in the cities of the county, which is too scattered, and they are negligent in training on weekdays, and their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the regular army, which has been verified in the previous battle of the three counties.

Therefore, when the establishment of the governor's palace in various military points had been in Sima Yu's mind for a long time, the establishment of the governor's palace had also been drafted, but because it had been in the midst of a rushing war, the appointment of the governor had not yet been agreed with Guo Yuan, Wang Meng and others.

However, at present, the war in Changzhou is urgent, and in order to ensure the logistics supply of the army, the governor's office of the three counties has to be established first.

The territory is big, Sima Yu can't keep up with every war, and over-relying on the national drama system is a curse rather than a blessing for the entire force.

Everyone in the tent looked at Murong Han with envy, and Hu Luguang, the general of Zhengbei, had a hearty smile on his face.

After the battle in Yunwu Mountain to stop the 100,000 Baguo army, everyone expected that Murong Han would be put to good use, but they didn't expect it to improve so quickly.

With the continuous expansion of the power of the Southern King, the generals under Sima Yu's account are no longer a scarce product.

Most of the people in high positions now are old people who follow Sima Yu, all of them have extraordinary abilities, and those who are backward such as Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Yue Zhongqi and others are even merged under Sima Yu as a prince to control an army.

If Hu Luguang's ascension to the throne was due to his ability and Sima Yu's need to control millions of Xianbei clans, then Murong Han was more because of his courage and loyalty.

As the saying goes, the times make heroes, and in the face of real opportunities, there are a few people who can dare to fight like Murong Han.

"Murong Han, Xiang Chong, Luo Chengxiang, Wu Shidao"

Sima Yi's gaze slowly fell on Murong Han and Xiang Pet, and he said with a calm face.

"In!"

The four of them were shocked, and Murong Han's face was even more flushed, and he shouted.

"In this battle, the logistics supply of hundreds of thousands of troops will be tied to your hands, do you have confidence!"

"Yes!"

The calm words contained the power that made people's hearts swell, and the four of them got down on one knee excitedly to receive the order.

"Good! All armies immediately go back to prepare, and tomorrow the troops will send to Changzhou! ”

Looking at the generals below with high fighting spirit, Sima Yu waved his hand and ordered heroically.

This will be a major battle at the national level, counting the Eastern Army guarding Dong'an City, the number of troops mobilized will exceed 200,000.

On the second day, outside the city of Dong'an, the open space in the suburbs outside the city was covered with simple temporary tents, and ragged homeless people could be seen everywhere.

The Nanyi people rebelled, Shangfeng and Shidao counties have been hit by cholera one after another, a large number of people have been displaced in the war, and the surviving people in the south and central of Shangfeng County have fled to Dong'an City. In just 20 days, the entire city of Dong'an has received more than 300,000 displaced people.

The influx of displaced people also caused a considerable burden on the Eastern Army, and Dong'an City could no longer accommodate such a large number of people, so they had to build temporary shantytowns outside the city to resettle.

However, with the strength of the Eastern Army, the materials that can be squeezed out are limited after all, and they can only barely support these displaced people from starving to death, but with the arrival of the autumn rains, the probability of an outbreak of epidemic has increased sharply, and Li Dingguo has issued a notice to recruit civilian doctors, and at the same time asked the palace to urgently increase medical supplies.

"Quick! Let's get it! ”

The entire Dong'an City Lord's Mansion has become a huge temporary office, and a large number of clerks shuttle back and forth.

A herald hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and quickly walked to the study of Li Dingguo, the general of Zhengdong.

"Report! General, your lord's urgent order! ”

When he came to the study, the herald went to Li Dingguo, who was discussing with Liu Wenxiu and others.

"Bring it up!"

"Good! Your Majesty has agreed to our request to send troops! ”

Li Dingguo anxiously took the letter in the herald's hand, quickly skimmed it, and then said loudly to Liu Wenxiu and the others, who were looking at him expectantly.

The greatest glory of a soldier is to make meritorious contributions to the killing field, and at present, the two counties of Shangfeng and Shidao are empty, and they are at their fingertips, which is simply a meritorious service to them.

"General, the army is attacking, who will be in charge of Dong'an City?"

When the generals heard this, they all rubbed their hands, their faces were full of excitement, and Liu Wenxiu on the side said softly.

As soon as these words came out, the hall immediately fell silent, and they looked at Li Dingguo one by one.

"This battle is the key to whether the king can enter Changzhou, I will personally lead 10,000 troops to sit in Dong'an City, Wenxiu, and you will lead the troops to attack Shangfeng and Shidao counties. Remember, other places can be abandoned, Shangfeng County and Beiguan City must be controlled by our army! ”

The two counties of Shangfeng and Shidao passed through the cholera in Nanyi, and the defense of various places has become useless, and the people of the Eastern Army stationed in various places will not only not resist, but I am afraid that they will eagerly look forward to it.

Only Beiguan City is the southwest pass of Shidao County, which is the gateway of the army to the six internal counties of Changzhou, and must be firmly controlled.

"General Xie!"

The generals naturally understood Li Dingguo's intentions and thanked them one after another.
