Chapter XXXIV
Chapter 34 Planning
"Deal." Zhu Chongjiu finally lost his cool and jumped up from after the Shuai case.
Time, what he lacks most now is time, more than 300,000 Chen soldiers near Huai'an City, Dong Junxiao took the opportunity to kill Yangzhou with the help of Fang Guozhen, in this case, every time he delays one more day on the Jiaozhou side, the situation in Huaiyang is one point more dangerous.
And if he can solve the problem of Yiwang buying slaves one day earlier, Tokhov will have to divide his troops back to relieve the south one day earlier, Xu Da is on Huai'an's side, the pressure he faces will be greatly reduced, whether it is to find a way to break the enemy, or to send brothers to Yangzhou to help Wu Xiyu, he must be much calmer.
In other words, the key to the victory or defeat of this battle, since the moment he boarded the sea ship, it is no longer on both sides of the Yellow River, but on Shandong Road and Yangzhou Road respectively, he can take the first step here to kill Yiwang to buy slaves, and the balance of victory and defeat will be greatly tilted towards the Huai'an army, and in case Dong Shuxiao takes the lead, what awaits the Huai'an army will be ten times more sinister than the defeat of Li Zicheng Shanhaiguan in another time and space.
"King Yi fought with General Wang Xuan of your department in Zhucheng a while ago, and it was difficult to tell the winner." Seeing that Zhu Chongjiu was happy to be like this, Yelu Zhao regretted it in his heart, however, if this plan is successful, it will definitely not be only the Huai'an Army that will benefit, he Yelu's family can also take advantage of the opportunity of the imperial court to quickly erect a counter-flag.
Therefore, after only hesitating for a short moment, Yelu Zhao made a decision neatly, "And the grain and grass needed by its 100,000 army are all transported by Weishui, and all of them are hoarded in Xiangzhou, forty miles north of Zhucheng, and guarded by Shandong Xuanwei deputy envoy Shi Jiana, that Shi Jiana has no courage and no strategy, and the general manager takes advantage of the fact that the news of the loss of Jiaozhou has not yet spread, and sends a tiger general to lead the elite troops to attack Xiangzhou, as long as the military rations of King Yiwang can be burned, his 100,000 army will collapse without a fight within a few days." ”
"Xiangzhou, respect the beginning, take the map." When Zhu Chongjiu heard this, his heart was agitated again, and he waved his arm vigorously at Chen Ji and commanded loudly.
"Yes." Chen Ji simply agreed, and together with his staff officers, he unfolded the map on the wall that had just been drawn by the intelligence department, and then picked up the pen and quickly marked the location that his lord needed on it.
This place is called Xiangzhou, in fact, it is only a very small military village, because the surrounding terrain is flat, and close to Weishui, it is convenient for ships to come and go, it was selected by Yiwang to buy slaves to hoard military food, with the current combat effectiveness of the Huai'an army, the chance of sneak attack is quite high, the only more troublesome thing is that Xiangzhou Village is a little far away from Jiaozhou City, even if it is estimated from the map, there are more than 120 miles, in case the slave buys a precaution in advance, the soldiers and horses sent to the sneak attack will definitely return.
"How many Yuan troops there are in Xiangzhou Village, please let Mr. Yelu tell me clearly." After staring at the map for a few cursory glances, Zhu Chongjiu put away the joy on his face and asked in a deep voice.
"About fifteen thousand." Since it has been decided to show goodwill to the Huai'an army at any cost, Yelu Zhao simply does it to the end, "but there are definitely less than 3,000 real soldiers, and the remaining more than 10,000 are all garrison troops recruited from all over the country. ”
"So little." Chen Ji couldn't believe this person's words, and asked with a frown.
"Xiangzhou Village is the big rear, before last night, no one could have imagined that General Manager Zhu would personally lead the army and kill Jiaozhou from the sea." Yelu Zhao glanced at him and explained with some unhappiness, "However, this is the news from seven days ago, at that time, the grass people happened to go over there and bought a few boatloads of grain from Shi Jiana, so by the way, I touched the strength of his camp, if Lord Chen didn't believe it, he could send scouts to check it carefully." ”
When the scouts were sent back, the fighter plane had already been mistaken, Chen Ji had been taken by Zhu Chongjiu's side and been focused on training for more than a year, this insight was still there, listening to Yelu Zhao's words with thorns, he didn't think he was angry, he smiled, and continued to whisper, "No need, just estimate what Mr. just said, please ask Mr. Yelu, how much military food has been stored by the enemy army in Xiangzhou Village at the moment, since Mr. can buy grain from it to make a profit, he must have some friendship with the person in charge of the granary inside, and can find out an approximate figure." ”
"There are two months of grain storage, Jinan and Yidu have been grain producing areas since ancient times, and Yiwang is as greedy as the people under his command, and he can intercept more summer grain that should have been transported to Dadu in the name of war, so he will naturally not be soft." Yeluzhao frowned and responded with a deep groan.
In the next moment, he suddenly glared at the boss again, pointed at Chen Ji, and asked loudly, "You, you want to, you want to snatch all the grain and grass and keep it for yourself, you, you really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall." ”
"Anyway, we have to send troops over, there is too much difference between burning and looting." Chen Ji smiled again, with a bit of pride on his face, "But it's not for yourself, but after grabbing it, I will find a way to transport it to Huai'an by sea, I have millions of victims in Huaiyang waiting to be fed, so much food, it's a pity that it burned down." ”
The grain and grass reserves of the 100,000 army, calculated according to the standard of a minimum supply of two months, will be at least more than 200,000 stones, if you can grab all of them, it can definitely greatly alleviate the current shortage of food in Huaiyang, but it is one thing to burn it, but it is another thing to grab it, for the purpose of burning grain, after the sneak attack of the soldiers and horses succeeded, you can immediately return to Jiaozhou the same way, and if you can seize it, you must at least withstand the enemy's counterattack in despair in the first three or five days.
Thinking of this, Yeluzhao was even more surprised, turned his gaze to Zhu Chongjiu, and loudly dissuaded, "No, the chief manager must not take such a risk, there are 100,000 troops under the command of King Nayi, half of them can withstand Wang Xuan, and at least half of them can be sent back to capture Xiangzhou. ”
"200,000 stone of grain." Zhu Chongjiu was like a money fan, his face was full of eagerness, "Chen joins the army, it's a pity, Mr. Yelu can buy military grain from the enemy camp to make a profit, he must be very familiar with Shi Jiana, I don't know if you can help me introduce him and make a good relationship with him." ”
"It's not cooked, he's extremely greedy, and the grass people have given him enough benefits to get some food at a low price." When Yelu Zhao heard this, he immediately shook his head, and immediately, he glared at the boss again, "You, you have to go in person, to attack Xiangzhou, you, you are the chief of the entire Huai'an army." ”
"There's no way, I didn't bring many soldiers this time, I can only fight the rabbit with a goshawk." Zhu Chongjiu shook his head, his face full of confidence, "I have to bother Mr. Lao, borrow a hundred and ten sets of clothes from the shop, and then take Zhu to make a deal with Shi Jiana. ”
