Chapter Seventy-Four: Zhao'an

"In this way, it seems that our cooperation with Wolf Mountain County is a good choice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Mars is relieved."

"If Langshan County really wants to support people who have interests with them to govern Donghai County, then as long as we meet their requirements and cooperate with them, we will make a lot of money." I encouraged.

"Promise them to cooperate." Mars said calmly, and I noticed that his hands were shaking a little.

Mars is unwilling to sit still after all, and now that the situation has reached this point, it has to change if it remains the same, otherwise I really don't know what the ending will be.

The sergeants in the camp practiced very hard, after a little rest, they stepped up their training, after a few days of physical training, they have begun to compete in confrontation training, two people in a group of sword skills competition, you come and go, the fight is fancy, there is no practical use, this is on the battlefield, where is the attack of those old soldiers so slow, where is so merciful, as long as you are a little distracted, the knife will be inserted into your body.

The weapons promised by Lao Zhang can no longer be supplied, and the war is changing too fast, even the new army led by Lao Zao is only 800 spears, and the rest are ordinary swords, not Ge spears, which are already made to the limit, if there is a slight respite, maybe there is time to replenish the weapons.

It is said that the new army led by Lao Zao suffered a lot of losses, and more than 800 people died in the first battle, however, several days have passed since the defeat, and there is no reprimand from Lao Zhang of Donghai County, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse. I heard that Donghai County and Nanwang County were flooded with a large number of fleeing civilians and slaves, and bandits were everywhere, all to grab food or money.

The news of Donghai County still came, and it was very surprising that the defeat was even praised, saying that although the new army had died more than 800 people, it was actually very good, and asked us to train the new army seriously and with peace of mind, and strive to take revenge in the near future.

The one who sent the news was still Lao Shang, Lao Zhang's strategist, this is my final understanding of him, and he also brought the news that the remnants of the conscription new army led by Lao Zao retreated to the village post southeast of Donghai City, and stationed on the spot to prevent the White Turban Army from chasing and killing and looting food everywhere.

As expected, after the White Turban Army on the South Road captured Hailing County, it went all the way to the north and approached the Chushui River, and after the White Turban Army on the West Road was inserted to the north of Wuxian County, it almost encountered no obstacles, and continued to advance along the Chushui River to the Donghai County City, with the obvious intention of cutting off the retreat of Wuxian County and forming an encirclement trend.

In such a situation, the countermeasures taken by Donghai County cannot be said to be not a good strategy - Zhao'an, if Zhao'an succeeds, it is really effortless to solve the thorny problem, however, at this moment, when the enemy is strong and I am weak, the White Turban Army will easily give up the good situation and be recruited, and the head case will be caught by the door.

When the laborers set out to come to the camp in the canyon, the messenger of Laozhang also went to Hailing County and brought some gold and silver treasures.

The laborer asked me this question: "What do you think are the chances of success?" ”

I thought for a while and said seriously, "Sancheng." ”

"How can you see it so high?" The laborer asked puzzled.

"I'm talking about this because we in Donghai County need to cooperate and do some deployment and defense." I sell Guan Zidao.

The laborer asked: "How to cooperate with the deployment?" ”

I stared at the labor merchant for a long time, and said: "Mobilize troops to form a counter-encirclement of Hailing County. ”

When Lao Shang heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought, he knew very well the strength of Donghai County, and what could be mobilized, plus more than 4,000 soldiers and horses in Donghai City, about 1,000 soldiers and horses escaped from Laozao and Hailing County, 1,000 in this canyon camp, 500 troops in Nanwang County, and 5,000 troops in Langshan County, a total of only 12,000, if you want to form a counter-encirclement of Hailing County, the troops are not enough, and now the White Turban Army stationed in Hailing County has increased to 15,000, and it will increase in the future, there is no doubt about it.

With 12,500 troops to surround 15,000 troops, fools understand that this will not be beneficial, and if it drags on for a long time, as soon as the reinforcements of the White Turban Army arrive, it will be a big trouble, however, it is only a deterrent now, and it is a good strategy to delay time.

The laborers also wanted to ask in the end: "What are the chances of success if you don't send troops to surround it?" ”

I really didn't want to answer this question, but I had to answer: "Brother Lao knows very well in his heart, why bother to ask me." ”

The laborer smiled knowingly and said, "I really admire Brother Huoling's intelligence, so the purpose of my coming to the camp this time must be clear." ”

I said, "The second batch of recruits is about to send troops again. ”

Lao Shang did not answer, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

……

The whole village seemed desolate and desolate, the roads were littered with colorful rags, and the precious sandalwood chairs with broken feet were discarded in the ditches, and no sound could be heard, and most of the villages would have the sound of livestock, or dogs barking, but there was no sound to be heard here, and not a single person was to be seen, and there was silence in sight.

In the past, this was not the case here, there was a wine shop and an inn in the village for the merchants to rest, but now the signature curtain of the wine shop has been torn and hung down softly, and the tables, chairs and stools in the inn are crooked, and the dust is all covered.

When the group drove the carriage through here, looking at these ruined scenes, they felt a lot of feelings in their hearts, however, they did not stop long, because they had to rush to Hailing County as soon as possible, and later it would change, and the destination of their trip was Hailing County.

Can't be delayed on the road, the eldest prince of Donghai County, Lao Zhang, let them go, before setting off, he patiently told them to complete the task, if they complete the task, they will have a lot of rewards when they go back.

The messenger of this recruitment is Lao Yun, and he is also a guest of Lao Zhangmen, some talents, this time Zhao'an can be carefully discussed, if you don't go on a business trip, there is still a chance of success, this time the purpose of the labor businessman from Donghai County to the canyon camp is as I said, to form a counter-encirclement of Hailing County, and increase the bargaining chips of Donghai County.

Hurry up, and finally came to the city gate of Hailing County without any thrill, Lao Yun thought that the defense of the White Turban Army was not very tight, so they rushed to the city gate of Hailing County, and there was no accident at all.

If he followed Lao Yun along the way, then he should not be surprised at all that he achieved such results, he was not only bold, but also careful, and could see the approximate number and time of people passing through from the shape of the dust on the ground.

In turn, it also proves that the rabble is the rabble, suddenly gathered together to rebel and revolt, and all the rules and regulations are still waiting to be established, and many details of the war of this leader cannot be taken into account.

Their appearance really startled the defenders at the city gate, and a group of people quickly poured out, surrounded them, and the leader of the group shouted, "Who are you, and why are you here?" ”

"We are from Donghai County, and we want to see your general." Lao Yun said with a smile.

I heard that it was from Donghai County, and they all clenched their weapons and pressed towards them, as long as they made a slight move, it seemed that they were going to kill people, and they were worthy of coming from the battlefield, and their vigilance was very high, and their courage was also very strong.
