Chapter 296: Encirclement and reinforcements

"Lord, Wu has a plan, I can wish the lord to win Shunyang, Sui County, Xinye and other counties. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Li Chu smiled, and hurriedly asked Zhu Wu to speak: "Please also ask Mr. to help me." ”

At the same time, Li Chu asked people to take out all the satellite maps in the Nanyang area and spread them out on the ground, the map was spread out to four squares, Zhu Wu folded a small branch in his hand, drew a circle in Nanyang, and said: "The lord said to Zhu Wu before that this Wang Qing led 40,000 thieves to attack Ye County on the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, and was defeated by General Li Han's army, and the 40,000 army returned to Nanyang less than a number. Then Shi Junshi said to Yu Wu again, the previous heavy snow sealed the sky, Wang Qing led the army to cross Fangcheng Mountain, nearly 10,000 people froze to death, dare to ask the lord, at this moment in Nanyang, how many troops are left? ”

Li Chu said: "The latest news from Xizuo shows that this Nanyang forcibly recruited 30,000 people as soldiers around it, plus the original thief soldiers, it is estimated that there are 40,000 to 50,000, and 50,000 is the most. ”

Zhu Wudao: "Then dare to ask, how is the combat power of these 50,000 thieves?" ”

Battle effectiveness?

What fighting power can a group of forcibly conscripted peasant people have? The previous battle in Yexian had already said it all. Suddenly, Li Chu understood what Zhu Wu meant, yes, even if there are 50,000 thieves in this Nanyang, I'm afraid that there are only about 10,000 of them who can fight, and there are more than 30,000 left, how can they be willing to work for Wang Qing?

It's just that Li Chu still couldn't guess Zhu Wu's plan, so he humbly asked Zhu Wu for advice: "Dare to ask Mr., will the plan come out?" β€œ

Zhu Wu said with a smile: "This Nanyang thief is a new strong conscription, the army is unstable, and there is no training, both discipline and combat power are very low, and they can't even be an army, so the army must be unstable internally, even if there is Nanyang Jiancheng as a defense, how many days can it be supported?" Why don't the lords besiege and not attack? β€œ

Besiege without attacking?

I saw Zhu Wu slide the branches all the way down in the south of Nanyang and said: "Around the Nanyang Basin, the county seats that can support Nanyang have Shunyang, Qiande, Suixian, Xinye, and Miyang counties next to Danjiangze from west to east, among which Gucheng is the farthest and Suixian is the closest. I saw that the lord sent Brother Lin Chong to sweep away Nanyang's retreat, according to Wu's intentions, why not release a hole and let Nanyang's messenger for help go out? β€œ

"Siege for reinforcements?"

In an instant, Li Chu blurted out and guessed Zhu Wu's plan.

"The lord is wise." Zhu Wu also immediately slapped him with a sycophant.

Li Chu smiled awkwardly, and then asked Zhu Wu to continue.

Zhu Wudao: "Shunyang, Qiande, Suixian, Xinye, Miyang these five counties are different from Nanyang, Nanyang's soldiers can fight 10,000, the rest are new soldiers, if the lord takes Nanyang easily, then these five counties Wang Qing business is old, the soldiers in the city are several veterans, if the lord takes Nanyang first, these five counties will definitely stick to the city after getting the news, and then if the lord wants to take these five counties, I am afraid that there will be a few tough battles at that time, it is better to surround Nanyang, make a fierce attack on Nanyang, and induce Nanyang to send messengers to these five counties for help, The lord can send a large army to set up an ambush on the road through which the five counties support Nanyang, and attack it with ease and labor, once the reinforcements of the five counties are broken, the five counties will also be returned to the lord. β€œ

Li Chu: "Then it depends on the plan of the military division." β€œ

Immediately, Li Chu was about to give a new order, but Zhu Wu stopped Li Chu.

Zhu Wudao: "General Lin Chong continues to block Nanyang's retreat, and he can't let go of a thief from Nanyang to deliver a letter." Wu heard that the lord's account received a lot of Wang Qing's surrendered troops? β€œ

Li Chu nodded.

Zhu Wudao: "You can select a few people who are familiar with Nanyang from the surrendered army to serve as messengers sent by Nanyang to ask for help, and then rush to these five counties with Wang Qing's letter to ask for help. β€œ

Li Chu re-ordered Lu Junyi to lead 40,000 Water Margin troops to besiege Nanyang, and let Yang Zhi lead 40,000 troops to the southwest of Nanyang, ambush reinforcements from Suixian, Shunyang, and Qiande, and let Li Han lead 10,000 Qilin troops to ambush Xinye on the only way to Nanyang, and Miyang was to be carried by Sun An's Yingshui army.

Li Chu himself rode in a Leopard 1 tank with a convoy of incendiary* bottles, followed Lu Junyi to Nanyang.

At the same time, on the side of the water camp in Rufen Town, Li Xuan also received Li Chu's order to fly to Nanyang in a hot air balloon.

The rear of Rufen Town is Shi Tianyi sitting in the town, Chai Jin is the household officer, and the grain officer, the supply of grain and grass for all the troops in Rufen Town is responsible for Chai Jin, at this time Chai Jin has prepared enough rations for 100,000 days, looking at this cart of grain, Chai Jin can't help but sigh.

When he was in Liangshan, the grain and grass in Liangshan were also in charge of Chai Jin, and the price of this grain and grass in Hebei soared, and the price was so expensive that people were almost suffocated. However, after arriving at the Qilin Army's side, when he asked about the price of grain and rice, he was immediately shocked and couldn't say anything.

In such a turbulent place, the price of this grain and rice is actually three floors lower than that in the capital city?

How is this possible?

In particular, the price of grain sold in the market is not much different, so that Chai Jin, who is accustomed to sky-high grain prices, is a little uncomfortable. When asked about the reason for the grain officer beside him, he learned that it was the influence of the Qilin Army's coercive policy, and finally had to admire Li Chulai.

Compared with Song Jiang, Li Chu is more like a prince, and Song Jiang, after all, is short-sighted and unreasonable, and can only be a thief.

The local production of Xiangcheng County is also limited after all, all supported by the surplus grain of several major families in Xiangcheng County, and then the two brothers Su Qing and Su Mu also played a lot of roles, both of them were born in a business family, after taking refuge in Li Chu, Li Chu appointed Su Qing as the industrial and commercial director of Rufen and Xiangcheng, responsible for local investment promotion, Rufen Town is attracting investment, and grain and grass are also among the priorities.

The Su Qing brothers are a family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the south side of the Yangtze River is a large grain production area, and the two brothers have directly brought in a lot of businessmen from the south of the Yangtze River for the Qilin Army through their own relationships, and the grain and grass are also provided by the south of the Yangtze River, at least this year's supply of grain and grass is enough.

Nanyang.

When Li Chu was about to arrive in Nanyang, thick smoke billowed in the sky in the direction of Fangcheng County, and thick smoke rising in the sky could still be seen at intervals of more than ten miles.

The matter of burning Fangcheng County has been dealt with here.

If so many corpses are not disposed of, the weather will become hot in the near future, and he is afraid that there will be a big battle here, and now that farming is imminent, he doesn't want to make other moths.

Moreover, Fangcheng County will also be rebuilt in the future, so it will be burned to facilitate rebuilding in the future.

"I hope that the people of Fangcheng County who died in the war can rest in peace."

Li Chu silently prayed for them in his heart.
