Chapter 161: Analysis and Response (1)

At the junction of Chengdu Fu Road and Tongchuan Fu Road, there are Tongchuan Fu, Puzhou, Zizhou, Shaoxi, Huai'an and Xuzhou, which stretch for almost thousands of miles. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Luo Sulin, who has already established himself in Chengdu Prefecture, has continuously sent a steady stream of information, although this information has not involved the military and political affairs of the Mongolian Tatars, but in terms of subtle changes in the local area, the intelligence agency can also make a lot of analysis.

For example, there has been a change in the price of grain in the city of Chengdu, and the price has suddenly increased, this news has made the intelligence agency judge that the Mongolian Tatars have begun to collect grain, which has prompted the rise in grain prices.

There are only two possibilities for the army to collect grain, either it is poor grain, or it is ready to go to war, and the Mongolian Tartars under the command of Liu Heima do not have bad grain, so it can be seen that the Mongolian Tartars are indeed preparing for the expedition.

As for where the Mongol Tartars would attack from, Russalin could not provide useful information.

For three days in a row, Wu Shaogang stayed in the wing, meditating in front of the map, and there were a large number of documents on the table, all of which were information provided by the Intelligence Bureau, and the analysis made according to the intelligence, as well as some personal materials of Liu Heima.

Looking at the map, Wu Shao just stretched his waist, and he had already made a judgment.

There are only more than 40,000 people in the imperial army of Hezhou, and they need to be stationed in Hezhou, Luzhou, Tongchuan and other places, and it is impossible to pull them all out to fight.

Soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, a large-scale expedition, the supply of grain and grass is life and death, the supply of a large amount of grain and grass, means a huge consumption, if there is a judgment of the above error, too much consumption of grain and grass, this is also unbearable.

To tell the truth, at this time, Wu Shaogang didn't want to use knives and guns, he needed a calm and stable time to develop his own strength, the plan of the expansion of the army in front of the Hezhou Imperial Army had appeared in Wu Shaogang's mind, and it was ready to be implemented after the autumn harvest, but a sudden battle disrupted all the plans.

Wu Shaogang is not so impassioned, when his own strength is insufficient, what he needs is Taoguang to cultivate obscurity, if it is excessive swagger, it will attract more ups and downs and blows.

The Mongol Tartars must be defeated, and at the lowest cost.

This is Wu Shaogang's purpose, and to achieve this goal, you need to rack your brains.

When Wu Shaogang walked out of the wing, Yuan Shichun and Zheng Tongwu, who had been waiting outside for a long time, reported that Cai Siwei, the commander of the Hezhou Imperial Army, Zhang Binghui, the deputy commander of the Hezhou Imperial Army, and the commander of the Tabai Army, Ma Long, the commander of the Xuanfeng Army, Wang Xiaosan, the commander of the Xuanfeng Army, and Du Xiaoqi, the commander of the Youyi Army, had already been waiting in the military camp outside Fucheng.

It was getting late, and after Yuan Shichun finished his report, he spoke next.

"My lord, it's getting late, do you want to gather everyone to the government office to discuss in the coming day?"

Zheng Tongwu also nodded, the city gate was about to close, although Wu Shaogang was the defense envoy of Tongchuan Fu Road, he could not violate the regulations for no reason and ask to open the city gate at night.

"You all get ready, follow me out of the city immediately, and rest in the barracks outside the city tonight."

When the fast horse arrived at the barracks, the sergeant standing guard at the gate of the camp attracted Wu Shaogang's attention.

Zhao Qinan straightened up and stood at the gate of the camp, staring directly at him, motionless.

After getting off the horse, Wu Shaogang walked in front of Zhao Qinan.

"Zhao Qinan, it's been more than a month, can you still hold on?"

Zhao Qinan, whose face was slightly red, looked at Wu Shaogang and spoke loudly.

"My subordinates can do it."

Wu Shaogang smiled, and while walking towards the camp, he spoke to Qin Han beside him.

"In the future, I still have to take care of Zhao Qinan, it is not easy to be able to be on duty at the gate of the barracks, but then I still have to be able to fight on the battlefield, and that can be regarded as a real rebirth."

In fact, Zhao Qinan's temperament has changed a lot, the smiling spirit on his body is gone, replaced by a little masculinity, Qin Han once specially reported Zhao Qinan's situation to Wu Shaogang, when he first entered the barracks, Zhao Qinan suffered a lot, including inaccurate military posture, unable to get up in the morning, etc., Qin Han did not have a polite, merciless lesson, the sergeant in the barracks found that Zhao Qinan had shed tears several times in private.

Fortunately, Zhao Qinan survived.

Qin Han nodded and answered.

"Report to my lord, Zhao Qinan's essence is still good, he can deal with the training in the barracks, his subordinates have understood, Zhao Qinan actually lived in the village before, and he has suffered some hardships, he can be regarded as having a foundation, in the barracks, everyone is the same, every day is intensive training, Zhao Qinan, as one of them, there can be nothing special."

"Well, I mean to say that in the future, I still have to take more care of Zhao Qinan, after all, it is the trust of the old man, he will fight on the battlefield every day, Zhao Qinan should try not to participate."

"The subordinates understand, but what Zhao Qinan thinks himself, and if the subordinates don't know, it's not easy to force it."

"If Zhao Qinan takes the initiative to ask for battle, it is an exception, the sword on the battlefield is ruthless, if he has a big life, he will naturally be able to survive, if it is a hard life, then there is no way to do it."

Inside the Chinese military tent, the lights are bright.

Cai Siwei and others are waiting here.

Everyone didn't know what was going on, and after receiving Wu Shaogang's order, they all rushed to the Luzhou Mansion from their respective stations, and after meeting at the Mansion, everyone knew that something big must have happened, otherwise they would not all come to the military camp outside the Luzhou Mansion.

When Wu Shao first entered the Chinese military tent, Cai Siwei led everyone to salute.

Wu Shaogang straightened up and accepted everyone's military salute.

On the wall in front of you, a map is already hung.

"Please come to the barracks because the Mongol Tatars are preparing to invade my Tongchuan Road."

Wu Shaogang's words made the faces of Cai Siwei and the others change.

Sichuan is really a place of many disasters, every invasion of the Mongol Tatars, almost all of them are aimed at Sichuan, and the Tongchuan Fu Road is the first to bear the brunt, the sixth year of Baoyou and the first year of Tianqing, the Mongolian Khan Meng Ge personally led the army, attacked Sichuan, Jingding two years, Liu Quan's rebellion, resulting in the Tongchuan Fu Road almost all occupied by the Mongol Tatars.

Less than a year before the settlement, the Mongol Tatars were preparing to attack again.

You must know that all parts of Tongchuan Fu Road are in the process of restoration.

Looking at everyone's faces, Wu Shaogang spoke again.

"I know what you think, after all, the stability is not long, and it is the autumn harvest season, the Mongolian Tatars chose to attack at this time, for us, the pressure is huge, so we can't let the war ignite in Fuzhou County, which is under the jurisdiction of Tongchuan Fu Road, we have to completely defeat the Mongolian Tatars when they have not yet been able to enter Tongchuan Fu Road."

"Tongchuan Road needs to be stable, it is the autumn harvest season, all food must be harvested, must not be wasted, we do not have that capital, this year, next year and the year after, we have three years, these three years Tongchuan Road does not have to bear any taxes, we can take advantage of this opportunity, vigorously develop their own strength."

"People are not as good as heaven, but at this time, the Mongol Tartars are going to attack us."

"Relevant information, Yuan Shichun will introduce it to you."

Yuan Shichun was very simple, holding the paperwork in his hand, and began a comprehensive introduction.

The Chinese army tent was very quiet, everyone listened very carefully, many people's faces were slightly better, they knew that this time the invasion of the Mongolian Tatars was not comprehensive, but the attack of the Mongolian Tatars stationed on Chengdu Fulu, so in terms of number and scale, it was much smaller, and the attack in this situation would not be ignored by the imperial court, of course, Wu Shaogang could take advantage of this situation to ask the imperial court for some money, food and military salaries.

No one spoke, and inside the Chinese military tent was Yuan Shichun's voice.

The information is not particularly complete, and two of the most important things are vague, one is the size of the Mongol Tartars, how many Mongol Tatars there were, and the other is that the time and place of the attack are also unclear.

However, no one doubted that the Mongol Tatars were preparing to attack the Tongchuan Fu Road.

Because this is the judgment made by Wu Shaogang.

Yuan Shichun finally finished speaking.

By this time, it was completely dark.

Wu Shaogang looked at everyone and spoke slowly.

"There must be a lot of doubts in your hearts, except for knowing that the Mongolian Tatars have decided to attack my Tongchuan Fu Road, the rest don't know anything, in the face of such a situation, it is too difficult to defeat the Mongolian Tatars."

"It's a pity that we are facing such a situation, I have already said before, Tongchuan Road needs to be stable, the battle can not be carried out in Fuzhou County, if it causes damage to various places, according to our financial resources, it is impossible to calm and stabilize the place again, that is to say, the Mongolian Tartars do not want to enter the Fuzhou County where my Tongchuan Road belongs, and the fight must be carried out in Fuzhou County, where Chengdu Fu Road belongs, this is undoubtedly a very high requirement for us, whether we can do it or not, it depends on whether you and I can do our best."

"Chengdu Fulu Army Horse Envoy Liu Heima, this person is brave and good at fighting, just Yuan Shichun has introduced his situation, since he was less than twenty years old, he has been fighting on the battlefield, conquering the Quartet, so far more than 40 years, such a person is not easy to deal with, comprehensive in all aspects, I expect that this expedition, Liu Heima will personally lead the army."

"The sergeants under Liu Heima's command are all new Mongolian annexes, that is, the Han army that surrendered to Mongolia, and there is still a certain gap between their combat effectiveness and the Mongolian cavalry, but Liu Heima's sergeants have also been on many expeditions, and their combat effectiveness is also not weak, so we must not underestimate it."

"You all know the specific situation, I want to hear what kind of suggestions you have." (To be continued.) )
