This was the first time that Zhong Gang had shown a relieved smile since he learned that the Mengyuan Empire had declared war on the Great Xia Dynasty. He is really satisfied with his daughter, but it's a pity......

She is a Nine Yin Absolute Vein Body, and she has been weak and sick since she was a child, and even the medical priest in the Jixia School Palace has asserted that she will not live for more than ten years. Now, less than a year away.

Whenever he thinks of this, it makes Zhong Gang almost want to break his liver and intestines. But now is obviously not the time to think about these things, Zhong Gang quickly withdrew his gaze from Zhong Qinghan, and said in a deep voice: "At the moment of the great enemy, what is the best plan for you?" Haozhi County, Tanggu County, that is your jurisdiction, you talk about it first. ”

Hao Chengze's face was embarrassed, "Xiliang Gong, the lower official is not good at this march and fighting, if he dares to make a suggestion, the lower official is afraid of ......."

Zhong Gang waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about the war, can you tell me how much supplies there are in the city, which can support the army for a few days?" If there is a shortage of supplies, they must be brought out as soon as possible so that they can be transported from the rear, otherwise once they are besieged by the Mengyuan army, it will be difficult to transport them in the future. ”

Hao Chengze breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "If you go back to Xilianggong, Tanggu County is the upper county in Liangzhou, and the supplies for the three counties of Likang, Ding, and Sichuan on weekdays are also transported by Tanggu County. ”

Therefore, several large warehouses were set up in the northwest corner of the county, and according to the supply of 30,000 soldiers, the grain could be sustained for a month, and if it was saved, it could be held out for two months. As for arrows, gunpowder, weapons and armor, etc., there are also a lot of stocks, and the specific amount will be presented to Xiliang Gong for a detailed look at the account book later. ”

Zhong Gang nodded with satisfaction, "As long as there is no shortage of food and weapons, this battle will be easy to fight, otherwise the sergeants will be hungry, how can they fight?" ”

As for weapons and equipment, Zhong Gang didn't care much about it, except for consumables such as arrows and gunpowder, whether it was the Xiliang Army or the Zhongjia Army, they would bring their own weapons and equipment.

Hao Chengze arched his hand and said: "Please rest assured that Xiliang Gong, the lower official guarantees that there will be no problems with the logistics, and will supply the needs of your army in a timely manner." ”

Zhong Gang said: "Okay! So do you have any suggestions for how to fight this battle? ”

Saying that, Zhong Gang set his eyes on Xiahou Tai, when he first sent out the troops, he was the one who asked for the most active order, "Xiahou Tai, you can talk about it." ”

Xiahou Tai walked out of the queue, scratched the back of his head, and said angrily: "General, according to his subordinates, directly pull out a team of people, do special mothers." ”

Suddenly, someone in the team sneered: "Black barbarian, you are really simple and rude. Do you think that what you are facing now is the armies of those small countries in the Western Regions, and you can let you kill seven in and seven out? On the opposite side is Mengyuan's 200,000 elite iron horsemen, just with our 30,000 horses, don't you send food to people? ”

Xiahou Tai looked back when he heard this, and shouted angrily: "Xiong Feibai, you have the ability to come, don't talk about it in the back." Did you get beaten up last time, do you want to go out and fight it again? ”

Xiong Fei gave him a blank look, "At the moment of the great enemy, who is going head-to-head with you, a barbarian?" I don't have much ability, but I won't be as stupid as you, taking 30,000 people and 200,000 iron horses against others. ”

Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel below, Zhong Gang rubbed his head with a headache, he used to be too relaxed with them, and he developed the problem that they liked to quarrel and fight alone.

Zhong Gang was dumbfounded, "If you want to fight alone, don't fight here, let me go out of the city and Meng Yuan alone." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiahoutai and Xiong Feibai suddenly didn't dare to make a sound, and Xiahoutai also obediently stood back in line, but from time to time he glared at Xiong Feibai with his eyes.

Zhong Tsunade was also speechless for these well-limbed, simple-minded guys. Every time they go into battle, they don't fall behind, but once they are asked to give advice, they are dumbfounded.

Turning his head, he looked at the middle-aged scribe sitting in the hall with a feather fan in his hand, and asked, "Master Lu, I don't know if you have a good plan?" ”

Lu Bowen stood up, glanced at everyone in the hall, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "General, Miss Qinghan seems to be confident, so it's better to let her talk about it first." ”

"Oh," Zhong Gang looked at Zhong Qinghan with interest, and said gently: "Qinghan, since Mr. Lu said that you have a way, don't let it be brought up for details." ”

Zhong Qinghan pondered for a moment and said: "Father, this time Meng Yuan used troops against us in Liangzhou, ostensibly because he and his pro-envoy group were robbed and killed, and they wanted to seek justice. In fact, it was just because the Moxi grassland was hit by a locust plague, and the pasture grass was eaten by locusts, and more than 200,000 herdsmen in the four parts of Moxi could not survive the winter. ”

"Mengyuan rarely grows grain, and if there is not enough forage for cattle and sheep to survive the winter, those herders will not be able to survive. In order to divert the contradictions in the country, and at the same time, in order to seize the grain of Liangzhou for the winter, they launched this war. ”

"In this case, it means that the supply of their army will definitely be insufficient, and it is necessary to rely on the way of war to support this war. Therefore, we only need to target this, on the one hand, send cavalry to harass their grain carriers. ”

"On the other hand, we used the tactic of clearing the wilderness with strong walls to move all the scattered villagers to the city, so that they could not get any supplies. After a long time, 200,000 soldiers ate horses, and even if they didn't have to fight, they couldn't last long. ”

The more Zhong Gang listened, the more reasonable he became, his eyes lit up, he slapped his hands suddenly, and laughed: "Okay! What Qinghan said is reasonable, so do what you say. Send the army out, and take advantage of the fact that the Mengyuan army has not yet arrived, and move all the villagers from the outside villages into the city, to ensure that not a single grain can be left for them. ”

After a locust plague, there is no growing food in the wild now, not even wild vegetables and weeds, once all the villagers are moved, the Meng Yuan army will really not get any supplies.

Zhong Qinghan petitioned: "Father, my daughter hopes to hand over the matter of harassing the grain of the Mengyuan army to the Black Crow Army. ”

Zhong Gang frowned and said, "Qinghan, isn't my father unwilling to agree to your request, but your body can withstand the fatigue of running around in the wild?" ”

Zhong Qinghan smiled and said, "Father, don't worry, my daughter is in good health now, and it's not a problem to run around a little." This battle between Mengyuan and Liangzhou is likely to be the last battle for her daughter, and her daughter doesn't want to stay in the city. ”

As she spoke, she gently pinched the drink that Su Ziheng gave her in her sleeve to replenish her strength with her right hand, she had already tasted one, and the effect was very good, and it was no problem to come to those two boxes to persist in this war.

In the last period of his life, Zhong Qinghan didn't want to leave regrets for himself!

Zhong Gang looked at his daughter's determined look, sighed in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Since you insist on requesting, my father will grant your request, just remember to take care of your body." If you feel unwell, return to Xining immediately without any delay! ”

Zhong Qinghan replied with a smile: "No! ”
