Chapter 121: Grain and grass are too important
Li Wudi looked down at the person on the ground and said, "I'm dizzy." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Li Deyi waved his hand, "This is out of the way." As he spoke, he unbuttoned his belt, Li Wuyi couldn't learn Li Deyi's unashamed energy, the good family education he received since he was a child made him turn his head and walk aside, pretending not to see it. Li Deyi sprinkled hot urine and woke up the captive directly.
As soon as the man woke up, he habitually licked his lips with his tongue, "Phew, why are you so?" Who pees on Lao Tzu...... "Li De slapped him as soon as he went up, "What is this called, who are you Lao Tzu?" In this barren mountain range, where to get water to splash you up, some water I have kept for myself. Be honest! Otherwise, I'll cut you into pieces and feed them to the wolves! ”
As he spoke, Li De turned his head and shouted "Four Eyes", "Four Eyes, Four Eyes, where are you going!" Hurry up, I'm looking for you! After a while, "Four Eyes" ran out of the woods with a pheasant in his mouth. Li Deyi shouted "Four Eyes", and then frightened the captive: "See?!" Authentic green giant wolf, with your small body, he can eat a meal! As he spoke, he secretly poked "Four Eyes" in the waist, and "Four Eyes" immediately cooperated with the wolf's teeth, and let out a threatening roar in his throat. Not to mention, this trick is really good, and it scared the prisoner half to death on the spot.
Seeing that the captive was about to faint again, Li Deyi hurriedly stretched out his hand to wake him up, "Wake up, don't faint, if you faint, you can only cut and feed the wolf!" This sentence was so good that the captive woke up again when he heard that he was going to die without a whole body.
As long as you bluff people, the rest will be easy to do. Li De took off all the armor and blades on the spies' body, and with the "four eyes" constantly scareping, he smoothly asked a lot of things. After asking all the questions, Li De stripped the man naked, kicked him hard in the ass, and sent him directly down the mountain.
Li Wudi wondered in the back: "Don't kill?" Li Deyi: "Let him go back, it will disturb Guo Wuchang's mind even more." In war, you can't just be brutal, you have to fight wits and courage. When this scout returned to the camp, Guo Wuchang saw him like this, and he must have known that the layout of his camp had been completely leaked, and he had to toss and rearrange it again. Li Wudi nodded and agreed with this statement.
Li Deyi pulled Li Wudi and said in a low voice: "I asked clearly just now, now Guo Wuchang has moved all the baggage grain and grass in the camp to the middle of the camp, and the soldiers are all on the periphery, in order to prevent us from taking the opportunity to sneak attack his grain and grass equipment." Guo Wuchang's next batch of grain for 20,000 men and horses will not be transported from Shuo County until five days later, and he will have this kind of military ration during this period. Have you seen it? As soon as Li Deyi spoke, he led Li Wudi to the top of the mountain and pointed to Guo Wuchang's camp at the bottom of the mountain.
The two watched for a while, and Li Deyi continued: "I see that this thing is true nine times out of ten. I observed it from yesterday and found that Guo Wuchang's soldiers were in and out of the tents around the camp. The tent in the middle of his camp was rarely moved, and soldiers were always stationed on guard, most of which were stored with grain, grass and baggage. ”
Li Wudi said: "There is fraud. ”
Li De nodded, "I can't make up my mind, but don't forget, today Guo Wuchang has to set off from the camp, and then march to our Dingbei County." Let's wait patiently, and when he pulls out the camp, the soldiers will carry things back and forth, and they will always see one or two again. Then, let's try him again in the evening, what do you say? It's our luck to be wrong, and we're not losing anything if we're wrong, right? Anyway, at the moment, you are the only one who can leave the torch so far, and when the time comes, the two of us will move and run at any time. As soon as Li De said this, he actually didn't have anything low in his heart, so he used several questions to hear Li Wudi's opinion. After all, they are the only ones who can discuss things now.
It's a pity that Li Deyi wanted to discuss things with Li Wudi, but he completely found the wrong person. Li Wudi was still the same old-fashioned, and nodded violently, "It's done!" "See, it's still two words. Li Wushu came to the Weibei camp by himself, and he was able to go into battle, but as soon as this opening was opened, he could no longer close it. As the number of battles increased, the belligerent factor hidden in Li Wudi's bones was completely revealed, and as long as there was a battle, he was overjoyed, and he was simply a war maniac. If his father Li Si knew what his youngest son was like now, I don't know if he would sigh, he invited a famous teacher before, and he taught him personally, and he spent all his time trying to train his son to become a famous general, but it was better to fight a few bad battles in Weibei Camp.
Li Deyi beckoned Li Wushu over, whispered the details of the night's operation, and the two discussed secretly. After the discussion, Li Deyi looked up and saw that it was still early, and shouted: "Where is the 'Four Eyes'?" I can't help you tonight, now hurry up and catch some pheasants and rabbits, let me eat some hardhead, and work so energetically at night! ”
"Four Eyes" received instructions, and without saying a word, he turned around and went into the woods. Li Deyi stood on the top of the mountain and looked around, and found that the sentinels sent by Guo Wuchang had withdrawn one after another after finding out that there were only more than 200 foot soldiers on the side of the Weibei camp and that there were no other large armies in ambush, leaving only a few people to monitor the whereabouts of the more than 200 foot soldiers from afar.
Li De said wholeheartedly: "It seems that I can't do anything during the day." Looking down the mountain, Guo Wuchang's men and horses had already begun to pick up things and prepare to continue towards Dingbei County.
Under Guo Wuchang's command, an army of nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses is now about to leave the Jin army's own territory and come to the area where the forces of the Weibei camp are intertwined. When you get here, the army marches every day, and there are many differences compared to before.
First of all, this place is close to the sphere of influence of the Weibei battalion, and the army may be attacked by the Weibei battalion at any time. The art of war left by Taizu of the Ping Zhou Dynasty is cloudy: those who are good at fighting are invincible first, and then the enemy can be defeated. Although the Taizu of the Ping Zhou Dynasty repeatedly claimed that this art of war, which was regarded as an iron law by later generations, was said by a former sage named Sun Tzu. But no one in the world believes that whoever has nothing to do will be called "grandson", it is better to call grandpa, at least a senior. Everyone in the world believes that this is just a modest statement by Taizu of Ping Zhou. In this regard, I can only say that with different cultural backgrounds, explaining why someone calls "Sun Tzu" is really a big issue, and if you write a paper to explain it, the A4 paper should be at least seven or eight pages.
Therefore, in order to prepare for a surprise attack that may occur at any time, the Jin army must widely deploy sentry sentries and do all the defensive work. Moreover, the array of the marching army must also be changed, and the army must encircle the grain and grass in the middle, and the enemy must not be allowed to sneak attack the grain and grass in their own homes. When you are on your own turf, for the sake of the speed of the army, you can leave the grain and grass behind.
Second, in order to maintain the morale of the army as a whole and the physical strength of the whole army, it is for the sake of combat. The pace of the march must also be slowed down, and now only thirty miles a day are walked. Because if they marched more than forty miles a day, the soldiers would feel so tired that even if they rested for one night, it would be difficult to recover the next day. After marching like this for several days in a row, the soldiers will become dissatisfied due to the fatigue of a long time, which will lead to a drop in morale and a lack of fighting spirit.
Third, there are nearly 20,000 people, and the amount of food and drink is very staggering every day. If you are marching on your own territory, as long as an order arrives, the prefectures, counties, and prefectures along the way will levy and send the people to the army in advance, prepare camps for the passing army, and prepare meals, so that you can save a lot of trouble. Therefore, when marching on his own territory before, Guo Wuchang led the army to walk more than 60 miles a day, anyway, when he arrived at the place, someone would bring out hot meals, and the camp tents were ready-made, so he could naturally walk more every day.
Now at the junction of the Weibei camp and the Jin army's territory, there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back, and everything has to rely on itself. Therefore, the Jin army had to arrange special arrangements for the people and soldiers every day, who were responsible for setting up camp, collecting grass and firewood to make fires. This will cost a lot of manpower out of thin air, but if you don't do it, you can't do it, people always have to eat and sleep.
At the same time, this is also the reason why civil officials in various places have long been afraid of the army passing through the states and counties under their rule. Not to mention the disturbance of individual places where military discipline is corrupt, just the food preparation of these tens of thousands of people is a big hole. If they can't prepare and let the army go hungry, who knows if these hungry Qiu Ba will tear down the mansions of those civil officials.
Besides, the things that are used for the army often have to be prepared in advance, and these things cost a lot of money. If you are a clean official, you will have to die, and you often have to go bankrupt to make up for it, which may not be enough. If you are a corrupt official, you can stand it. Corrupt officials often need to set up a name in advance to loot the people, so that they can take advantage of it when the time comes. However, when this army passed by, it was often only notified to the local state capital and county government two or three days in advance. In such a short period of time, no matter how powerful the corrupt officials were, they couldn't find so much money, so they had to take their own silver coins first, so as not to anger these unreasonable Qiu Ba. Corrupt officials often love money like their lives, so let them give away the money that is easy to loot for nothing, or give it to a group of Qiu Ba. What's even worse is that after being sent out, he can neither be promoted, nor make a fortune with profits, which is more painful than poking their hearts and livers with a knife.
What the? Some people say that the local state capitals don't all have treasury money that can be used? Since the collapse of the Taizu of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, the rule of officials in the world has also begun to collapse. After the successive magistrates took office, the first important thing was to find out the money owed by their predecessors to the treasury, check the accounts clearly, and don't let yourself sit in the basin of your predecessors. You know, when the Ping Zhou Dynasty was still there, the treasury silver in all parts of the world was always in arrears, and it was impossible to take out any cash at all. Only when a few Qing officials are in office, they will leave some money in the treasury.
Li Deyi watched Guo Wuchang's army move under the mountain, turned to the soldiers who were still resting behind him, and ordered: "Let's also act!" ”
