Chapter Seventy-One: Negotiation
"Wu County is not very far from Hailing County, the county Sima should have sent troops to support Hailing County, if Hailing County falls into the hands of the White Turban Army, and then cut off the land road between Donghai County and Wu County, then Wu County will become a lonely city, and then fence it off and cut off the waterway, Wu County will become a turtle in the urn of the White Turban Army. "With the help www.biquge.info of the descriptions in the Tokai Chronicles, I have a general understanding of the geography of Tokai County, and I am not wrong to speculate on many questions.
"Could it be that most of the White Turban Army is attacking Wu County, which has made Lao Sima unable to mobilize troops to support Hailing County." Lao Shang said in shock, if this is the case, then Donghai County is really about to end, if the White Turban Army is really known as 100,000, it is entirely possible to achieve such a result, maybe the White Turban Army will shoot at Wu County, and then attack Donghai County, Donghai County only has about 3,000 combat troops, and it is impossible to resist at all, so it can only abandon the city and flee.
"If it's really as you said, there are high-ranking people in the White Turban Army, and Donghai County is in danger." I was alarmist, so that Tokai County would be alert and prepared in advance.
The face of the laborer is very unpleasant, as if it has been turned blue, and he can't really see it at night, anyway, he feels very wrong, and I can't figure out the reason. At this time, Lao Shang remembered that Lao Zhang transferred Lao Xindi to Wuxian County to resist the White Turban Army, which was completely a battle of will, but if Lao Xinde did not compromise and buy it, but turned against the first army, then Donghai County might really be over.
Thinking of this, Lao Shang pinched a cold sweat for Lao Zhang, and really wanted to fly back to Donghai County, and talk to Lao Zhang about the situation in Donghai County today, which has reached a precarious point, and I hope that Lao Xinde will not be so nonsense.
"Brother Lao Shang returned to Donghai County, and asked the eldest prince to quickly send the second batch of new troops of the conscription army, and send them as soon as possible, so that more training and training will have a better chance of winning." I reminded that the laborer was a little out of shape, his face was shocked, and he couldn't regain his composure.
"Brother Huoling, wake up the dreamer, although I knew that the situation was critical, but I didn't expect that the crisis would come to this juncture, your intelligence is a hundred times better than mine, I really want to thank you for telling me this." The merchant took my hand and said excitedly.
"We are now living and dying together, and we are all prosperous, and we can't talk about any thanks, we should do it." I said modestly, I was actually very happy in my heart, this labor and business intelligence is indeed quite good.
"The Fire Spirit brothers are really broad-minded, repay grievances with virtue, regardless of past suspicions, and are really heroes." The laborers were more and more moved, and they were not stingy with their beautiful words.
After the laborer finished speaking, he was very excited, stopped speaking, and went away urgently.
Back in my own camp, I couldn't sleep, a question bothered me, Donghai County sent the county Sima to resist the White Turban Army, there was no movement, it was really strange and incomprehensible, even if it was under siege, it should have sent a sergeant to report support, but there was no news, why was this.
County Sima Lao Xinde is so incompetent, but I heard that Lao Xinde is still an old man when he finishes his work, he is old, has good ability, and has been in the position early, so he shouldn't be.
Gao Ling has not slept yet, before watching me go to see the labor businessman, when he saw me come back, he rushed to ask about the situation, I said the situation, Gao Ling's face is not good-looking, this white turban army is so vigorous and shrewd, there must be a master among them is undoubted, such an opponent as long as he is given time, sooner or later he will have to grow up, and when he grows up, it will take a lot of hard work to eliminate him.
"Donghai County is so struggling, what are the chances of winning," Gao Ling also said worriedly, "The reinforcements from Langshan County have not yet arrived, they are soft, but they are not working hard, Wang Du should also know the situation at this time, when will the reinforcements arrive." ”
"A few days ago, the people of Langshan County said that they wanted to cooperate with us, what is the cooperation, at that time I felt that I should test the reality, but I didn't dare to make a mistake easily, let Donghai County seize the handle, I didn't ask much, I always felt that there was something related to this." I regretted it a little, and I was skeptical at the time, but all of a sudden there was a person to negotiate and say cooperation, which really made me dare not act rashly.
"There's a connection, what's the connection?" Gao Ling asked suspiciously, these are completely different things.
"I don't know, the current situation is all strange, related people show that they are not related, and unrelated people show that they are related, strange." I sighed, it really gave me a headache, this Donghai County seemed to be forgotten, and the White Turban Army watched him sit down.
The White Turban Army came out of Wusu County, Wusu County was unable to exterminate, entered Donghai County, occupied half of the territory of Donghai County, and turned to attack Nanqu County, it seems that it is still invincible, and now this is back to Donghai County, hit Hailing County, so elusive, with soldiers like a god, unbelievable.
What kind of master, I will definitely fight with this person in the future, I have to prepare in advance, think carefully about the details and rules here, find out the context, and there will be a way to deal with it.
"Gao Ling, do you want to send someone to find out the truth and useful information?" I've been thinking about this issue many times and a long time, however, I don't know how to implement it, and the Huoyue people are still an unpopular group in Donghai County.
"This will startle the snake, and I think what we want to do will arouse the suspicion of Donghai County, and I am afraid that Mars will not agree to this matter." Gao Ling said.
"It's going to be done in secret, so don't let them know." I said.
"Where do we have manpower?" Gao Ling did not object, the news was too important for the war.
"Recruit troops, hire people, and find a way, Lauber's gold coins are still a little unused." I said, as the saying goes, money can make the devil grind.
Lao Zao didn't stop much the next day, the war was in a hurry, he didn't understand, he had already thought of these things when he was appointed by Lao Zhang as General Zhenwei, since he agreed, there was no need to be afraid, even if he was afraid, he had to bite the bullet, otherwise, he would still be the envoy of Donghai County to make the Lord comfortable.
The day after Lao Zao went to Hailing County, the second batch of recruited new troops came to the camp under the leadership of a battalion leader, this battalion leader was a little old, I was afraid that he was almost sixty years old, his body bones were still very tough, he looked vigorous and vigorous when he walked, and he had a mustache that had just emerged from the flesh on his face, and he looked very rough and bold, but he couldn't see anything else.
When I came to the camp to see Mars, I was polite and polite, and I talked and laughed with Mars about how the eldest prince thanked him Mars, if it wasn't for the busy things, I would definitely come to the camp to see him, talk in detail in person, and treat them well, but unfortunately Donghai County is eventful, and I really can't get away.
This old battalion leader is called Lao Bushen, who has been a deputy battalion leader before, and recently because of manpower reasons, Lao Zhang enabled this reliable old sergeant, promoted to battalion leader, and commanded the second batch of new troops of the conscription army.
I started to contact this old battalion leader, and thought that he was an old sergeant who was full of energy and strength, but it didn't take long for his true colors to be exposed, not only old and frail, physically and mentally lazy, but also not very smart, and the previous ones were just deliberately pretended, just to prevent us from taking them lightly.
The training is all handed over to us Huoyue people, and he is only a regular lecturer, and he seems to be particularly energetic, and he has a virtue with Lao Zao, and other times I see him nesting in the camp tent, and he looks like he is studying the art of war, but in my opinion, it is because of illness, if my guess is good, it should be bone hyperplasia, or rheumatism, because he hides it properly, it is not easy to reveal the stuff, therefore, it is improved.
Lao Bushen's deputy is his cousin Lao Buzhen, although he is already the deputy battalion leader, but he is not worthy of the name, there is no real name, just a pustule, I am complimented to the sky, omnipotent and omniscient, I don't know why, I don't know why, these battalion leaders and deputy battalion leaders are particularly easy to deal with, a bit of providence.
