。。。 I just came back from the hospital, I started to burn again, my ears are burned and deaf, so let's take another day off...

——

The importance of hitting Jining Road, Deng She has clearly informed the front-line armies.

In the mobilization order sent to the front, he wrote: "The current situation is difficult, but it is precisely because of the difficult situation in Yidu that Chahan was careless, mobilized the army in Jining, and began the internal strife with Polo, and this opportunity is even more rare for our army." If we can't seize this opportunity and wait for Chahan and Polo to decide the winner, the future war will definitely be even more difficult.

Therefore, at this time, our army must seize this good opportunity in time and resolutely take advantage of it. Not afraid of sacrifice and tenacious fighting, we must defeat Jining.

"As long as Jining can be laid, the grim situation that we are currently facing will inevitably change. If it is said that the Battle of Yidu at the end of last year, including the Battle of Jinan not long ago, were still internal defenses, then as long as Jining can be defeated, our army can change from internal defense to external operations.

"It's going to be a big turning point. From then on, our army will be able to direct the flames of war from the territory of our Yidu to the territory of Chahan. The ancients said: 'It is better to be a centurion than a scholar.' 'If this is the case in prosperous times, how much more so in troubled times?' The three armies are reluctant! If you have merit in the establishment, I will not hesitate to give you the reward of knighthood. ”

In addition to the mobilization order, Deng She personally ordered the pacification division and launched a vigorous pre-war mobilization meeting among the front-line armies. The main way is still to "remember the bitter and sweet". By remembering the bittersweet and sweet, the soldiers' hatred of Meng Yuan was aroused, so as to strengthen their determination to dare to fight in difficult situations.

If this bittersweet memory is compared to the inside, from the depths of the soldiers' hearts to determine their courage to fight, in addition, there is also an external thing: "three comparisons". "Martial arts, fighting spirit, and bravery." From the external environment to guide the soldiers' fighting spirit.

"Greedy for life and afraid of death", this is human nature. But at the same time, human beings are a group species, and they are easily influenced by others and groups. If in an army, all the soldiers are full of the idea of not daring to die and not daring to fight, then this army will definitely have no combat effectiveness. However, on the other hand, if the belief of "daring to fight and daring to die" can be established in an army, then this army will definitely become an invincible tiger.

In fact, Deng She's shaping of the army's fighting spirit was not improvised, and he only started to implement it now. It was also for this purpose that he had earlier awarded military flags to troops who had made great contributions.

What is a military flag? That represents glory. Only when an army has a sense of glory can it be said that it has a soul. And only an army with a soul can be regarded as a strong division in a hundred battles.

Deng She's two measures, in short, the first one is to let the soldiers know what they are fighting for, and to have a purpose, so that they will not be confused, and they will still be able to maintain a strong fighting spirit even if they suffer setbacks. The second is to encourage the fighting spirit of the officers and men through "remembering hardships" and "three comparisons", and to form a trend in the army that everyone is proud of daring to die and ashamed of cowardice.

Although it is said that Deng She saw the infighting between Chahan and Polo, he dared to send troops at this time. But he is not blindly arrogant. He still sees the gap between himself and Chahan very clearly.

He once had a self-evaluation of himself, he said: "So I Haidong can come to this day, so I Haidong can flourish day by day, not because of how wise and martial I am, nor because of how clever I am, but because I am very self-aware." ”

Those who know are self-aware. Don't do things that are beyond your own ability, which is invincible in the first place. In this case, he naturally will not get carried away. The fighter plane needs to be seized, but the gap needs to be seen clearly.

What is the gap between the Haidong Army and the Chahan Army?

First, the equipment and combat effectiveness are insufficient. Compared with the Haidong Army, the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Chahan Army are slightly superior. Second, the rear supply is unfavorable. Yidu and Haidong are separated by the sea; However, Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, Shaanxi and other places are connected by land. In this regard, the Haidong Army was far inferior to the Chahan Army.

Insufficient combat readiness, insufficient combat effectiveness, and unfavorable supplies, according to which, how can this battle be fought? However, there are also areas that are beneficial to Yidu, and Chahan and Polo are infighting. But this is not enough, if you want to win, I am afraid it is still far from enough. You must work fighting spirit, daring to die, and not being afraid of sacrifice.

There are many examples, why can the weak defeat the strong? Isn't it because one of them is weak, but he is stubborn? Therefore, although Haidong is in a weak position at present, as long as the army is mobilized in place, it is not without the strength to fight.

Deng She still has a lot of confidence in this. His plan for the battle was divided into two major steps.

The first step is to secretly mobilize the army and assemble Taean. Next, when the front-line troops are ready, they will begin to transport baggage, grain and other materials on a large scale. Why these two steps? Because it is advantageous to keep secrets. It is convenient for the troops to move without baggage, and it is also convenient for them to conceal. When the troops are all assembled, the baggage will be transported up. In this way, it is better to take the enemy by surprise.

The day after Ji Zongzhou met Deng She, the first batch of people began to set off. Most of them come from Yidu, and some come from the southeast coast.

If you look down from the sky at this time, you can see that as far as Laizhou and even Wendeng, almost all the roads in Yidu Province are now full of teams of baggage transportation. Moreover, the size of these convoys has increased day by day.

Thousands of people, wheels, mules and horses, in an endless stream, starry night, rushed to Tai'an, trampled, crushed out of the smoke and dust to cover the sky.

At the same time, the precautions on the front lines in Dizhou, Jinan, Tai'an and other places are also becoming more and more stringent. I don't know how many of the fine works lurking in Yidu,—— not only those from Chahan and Polobu, but also from Anfeng, Jinling, Jiangdu, Songjiang and other places, as if they suddenly heard the sound of a horn, and they were all alarmed by this unprecedented large-scale transportation in Haidong at the same time, but because of the blockade of the front line, although they were in a hurry, they were helpless, and they could not send the news at all.

Moreover, not to mention, Yidu has not only blocked the front line, but the General Administration Department headed by Li Shousheng has greatly strengthened its workload in the past few days. Except for a few extremely secret foreign details, people like He Biju sent by Zhu Yuanzhang have all been under strict surveillance.

Deng She's death order to the General Administration: "A word can't be used to benefit the capital." ”

It can be said that Li Shousheng is very resolute and thorough in implementing it to one point. In the end, he is the head snake of the land, and he has been operating in Yidu for a long time, and it may not be easy to find out all the details, but with the full cooperation of the military, it is still more than enough to control the channels for news to spread, and he can do it.

Of course, this control can't be controlled for long. However, only ten days and a half months will be enough.

On the fifth day after Ji Zongzhou met Deng She, the first batch of baggage supplies was successfully transported to Tai'an. Bi Qianniu personally came out to greet him. The baggage officer who escorted the transport was Hu Zhong. In the camp, the two checked and handed over.

"A number of stones, arrows, armor, guns, swords, and boxes of mines, grenades, and shells were brought this time. Bi Dashuai, please check. ”

Bi Qianniu carefully checked it, deducted the loss, and confirmed that it was correct. Take out the handover seal and sign the handover paper. After the formalities were completed, he said to Hu Zhong: "General Hu escorted the hard work all the way, and the marshal has prepared a thin banquet in the tent. General Hu, is this way, please? Relieve the pain of wind and dust on the road. ”

"The handsome man is kind and good-willed. This is the first batch of baggage and grain sent to you, and I have to rush back, and then send you the next batch. Seeing that Jining is about to go to war, the baggage is very important. The orders of the lord army are like a mountain, and the last general will not dare to disobey them. ......, Dashuai, you can drink this wine whenever you want, and remember, remember! ”

"I don't know how many batches of baggage there will be in the future?"

"The lord attaches great importance to Jining. I won't tell you, Dashuai, don't you know, I saw it with my own eyes in Yidu, this time, it can be regarded as emptying our Yidu's family foundation! Hu Zhong looked up at the sky and said, "The first batch will be sent by the last general, and the second batch will be escorted by Wang Guoyi, and it will be delivered by tomorrow morning at the latest." The night after tomorrow, another group was personally escorted by Zhao Zuocheng. The morning after tomorrow, it should be the fourth batch of Tong Shengyang's delivery. The last general's headquarters are all cavalry, hurry up the distance, and go back to Yidu for one day and two nights. In four or five days, I will send you the fifth batch of military supplies.

"You asked how many batches of baggage there are in the follow-up, and that's about it. However, when the war starts, when a large number of reinforcements from Haidong arrive, they will definitely continue to pull you here. ”

"In five days, five batches of military funds. Is Yidu's foundation about to be hollowed out? The determination of the lord this time is really not small! Bi Qianniu looked at the baggage list, frowned, and said, "It's just that arrows, swords, grenades and other things are okay, but this grain is the only one, and judging from the arrival of this batch, it is still far from enough to support the daily needs of the forty or fifty thousand army!" Up to 10 days. General Hu, I don't know what proportion of grain and straw accounted for in these batches of materials that were transported in the future? How much can be shipped in total? ”

"How much can be transported in total, that's a military plane. I'm not a manager, how can I know? To tell you the truth, what I know, that is, how much I shipped to you. The lord has a strict order not to ask me, Wang Guoyi, and Tong Shengyang about each other. You ask me for nothing, and you ask them for nothing. No one knows the total. Perhaps, when Zhao Zuocheng comes the day after tomorrow, you can ask him for a definite number. ”

This attack on Jining is not trivial. Bi Qianniu is not qualified enough; Second, the ability is also a little insufficient, and Deng She will definitely not let him be the coach. He is now in charge of a pre-war task of coordinating various ministries and handing over heavy loads. When Zhao comes, the overall military power of the front line will be transferred to him.

"You just said that Zhao Zuocheng will be able to arrive the day after tomorrow?"

"Not bad."

"That's good, that's good. To tell the truth, Zhao Zuocheng has not been able to do it for a day, and Ben Shuai has no bottom in his heart. ”

"Haha! Yidu is only a few hundred miles away from Tai'an, and you can reach it in a day and night by riding lightly. Zhao Zuocheng is coming, won't it be very fast? Originally, the first batch of military funds was sent by Zhao Zuocheng, but in the past few days, the lord has summoned him many times to discuss the military situation, discuss the war, and various deployments after the war. So it was postponed to the day after tomorrow, and it came a little late. ......, although I can't tell you the exact amount of grain, I have some news. Or you can ease your worries a little. ”

"What's the news?"

"Before I came out of Yidu, I saw that there was an official document issued by the left and right divisions, which had been posted in various places. So that the gentry everywhere have food and money. Stern orders were issued to vigorously support the front line. Although I have experienced a lot of wars, those wealthy families are born and raised after all, snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat roads, but they still have quite a lot of food reserves. Even if they are squeezed dry, they will never delay the needs of the front line! ”

"Yes, yes."

Although Bi Qianniu nodded yes, he was quite unimpressed. It is really not much hope to expect to collect grain from local wealthy families. Tens of thousands of troops on the front line, can they afford it with only the food of the wealthy? If you want to ensure that there is no shortage of grain, there is no other way but to rely on Haidong. All other methods are just a drop in the bucket.

"Alright. It was getting dark, so I had to leave for the city. Marshal, let's take our leave. ”

Hu Zhong turned around and left, and Bi Qianniu then sent him off.

After walking a few steps, Hu Zhong seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head again, asked Bi Qianniu, and said, "Half of the Jinan and Dizhou armies have assembled in Tai'an. A few days ago, didn't Monk Li and Yang Wanhu also come? But why didn't you see it in the handsome tent? I don't know where I went? ”

"On the orders of the lord, the two marshals, Li and Yang, have gone deep into the army and are carrying out pre-war mobilization." Bi Qianniu motioned for Hu Zhong to listen and asked, "Did you hear that?" ”

"What?"

"The pledge meeting in the surrounding camp."

Hu Zhong listened carefully and faintly heard a little sound. It seems that someone is shouting, and it seems to be cheering. Bi Qianniu said: "Some of this is reminiscing about bittersweet memories, and some are engaging in 'three comparisons'. If you listen carefully, the battalion with the loudest voice is the Yang Dashuai battalion. Yang Dashuai personally mobilized the soldiers to compete with their fighting spirit. ”

"So, morale in the army is high?"

"In the previous battle of Yidu, although our army was slightly defeated, the casualties were heavy. However, most of the casualties were the old army of Shicheng, and in fact, there was not much loss to the main force of our Haidong; Second, a while ago, the lord succeeded in taking Jinan. Our army is holding on to the power of a great victory, and we know why we are fighting in this battle, so our morale is naturally high. ”

"What the marshal said is very true. I think my Haidong is invincible in Liaoyang, North Korea, and South Korea. came to Yidu, but even suffered setbacks, and it was difficult to move forward. How unreasonable! Could it be that he was different from others, that he had three heads and six arms, or that he was invulnerable?

"Dashuai, although I didn't catch the first battle of Jining this time, even if it is me, and the brothers in my camp, none of them are not holding their stomachs! This battle must be fought well. Let him Richard Han also know that when it comes to fighting and not being afraid of death, our dignified Chinese nobles and Han family sons are only stronger than his Tartars, and there is no better way to say it! Out of the camp gate, Hu Zhong got on the horse, and on the horse, he gave a military salute to Bi Qianniu, and said loudly, "In the words of the lord, the three armies are reluctant!" ”

Bi Qianniu took off the hood, stood solemnly, and said angrily: "I am willing to encourage the general!" ”

Guan Duo's head was cut off by Hu Zhong. Who is not enthusiastic about the people who are in the army? What's more, Hu Zhong and these people who rebelled were originally reckless. As long as they are well encouraged and agitated effectively, they can drum up their fighting spirit, and they are willing to cut off their bodies and dare to pull the emperor off the horse! Everyone is scrappy.

Hu Zhong whistled, led the cavalry of the headquarters to escort the baggage, and swept away the people who had unloaded the goods left and right.

Outside the city of Tai'an, distant mountains stretched, and they gradually drifted away in the vast and boundless field. Bi Qianniu stood in front of the camp, raised his head, and saw the red sun hanging high; Looking back, see the city standing. Countless axes loom in the middle. He couldn't help but shake his hand, his blood boiled, and he thought to himself: "Whether it is a victory or a defeat, it will be seen in a few days!" ”

On the sixth day, the second shipment arrived.

On the seventh day, Zhao Guo arrived, and the third batch of baggage arrived.

On the eighth day, the fourth batch of baggage arrived.

On the 10th, the fifth batch of baggage arrived.

On the night that the fifth batch of baggage arrived, a force of several thousand men quietly drove out of Tai'an.
