Chapter 680: Plans (1) (Favorites, Recommendations, Subscribes)
Bai Deyuan's heart is the same as Mingjing's, he knows that Su Zhongqing has no intention of exterminating the barbarians, judging from Su Zhongqing's acceptance of Tengermaya and the surrender of some small tribes, Su Zhongqing wants the submission of Northern Xinjiang rather than destruction, it is obvious that Su Zhongqing only intends to bring Northern Xinjiang under his rule, of course, this is the case that he did not provoke Su Zhongqing.
At this time, if he raised the butcher's knife, even if Su Zhongqing didn't want to retaliate afterwards, but as the master of Taidang County, he had to consider the reaction of the Taidang County army, which would be an unprecedented disaster for the entire barbarian, but these tens of thousands of slaves were indeed a huge burden on Tiandu Grad City in front of the target, and he had to find a way to solve this problem.
Now Bai Deyuan's only hope is that the Central Plains will be in chaos as soon as possible, and he can hold on longer, as long as he has to defend until Su Zhongqing has to turn around and face the situation in the Central Plains, he will have more capital to negotiate with him, after all, for these warlords of the Dawu Empire, the northern frontier is more like a chicken for them, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it, as long as he stabs Su Zhongqing like a hedgehog, and makes him feel hopeless to capture Tiandu Grad, and turn back to participate in the war in the Central Plains. Northern Xinjiang has won a glimmer of life, and with this glimmer of life.
Bai Deyuan believes in the perseverance of the people in the northern Xinjiang, and after a few decades, there will be a powerful northern Xinjiang, but Bai Deyuan, who has always been like a god, guessed Su Zhongqing's mind wrong this time, and now Su Jun has a very clear understanding of himself, the chaos in the Central Plains has just risen, and the accumulation of decades or even hundreds of years of heroes from all walks of life is the time when they are the most powerful.
The newly rising Taidang County is much inferior to these heroes in all aspects, at this time, he will never rashly mix in, Northern Xinjiang is an important chess piece for Su Jun to dominate the Central Plains, Su Jun will never give up, not to mention, if he does not solve the Northern Xinjiang and let himself have such a nail on his back, Su Jun will not feel comfortable.
Su Jun will only choose the most suitable time for Tai Dang County to participate in this game of redefining the Dawu Empire, and before that, what he has to do is to make himself stronger step by step.
The information from Taidang County a few days ago made Su Jun anxious, at the moment enough food is the basic guarantee for the victory of the Taidang County Army in the war, if there is a problem with the food order, it means that the Taidang County Army must fight quickly, once he can't quickly take Tiandugrad, then he can only withdraw the army, maintaining the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops is a very terrifying thing, once the food is cut out, for the army, it will be a disaster.
Su Jun was ready to give orders to launch a general offensive on the whole front several times, and no one knew better than him the family background of Taidang County, and if the grain in the four major warehouses of Taidang County was not replenished in time, it would bottom out after maintaining the existing army for a month.
And a month to defeat Tiandugrad, the difficulty is not ordinarily small, Su Jun will never despise the ability and wisdom of the enemy sitting in the city opposite now, but when Su Jun is about to make up his mind, he always vetoes himself at the last moment, since Yan Qinghua, Chu Xuan, and Zou Hong did not give him the final warning, it means that there is still a chance for things to maneuver, Su Jun believes in the ability of these three people very much.
In the anxiety and anxiety of spending every day with difficulty, in the entire Taidang County Army, except for Chu Yan, Tian Shunchang, Huang Lie and Gao Meng, the rest of the people were kept in the dark, and the generals of the various armies were still pulling out the outlying strongholds one by one in an orderly manner according to the prior arrangement, and tried their best to overwhelm the other side with the superiority of weapons and land, so as to reduce the losses of the soldiers.
Su Jun inspected the barracks under the escort of Gao Meng, focusing on the baggage camp, thousands of trebuchets in the army, tens of thousands of crossbow machines, a lot of losses every day, all relying on the maintenance of the baggage battalion, and when they arrived at Tiandugrad, they also had one more task, the stones on the northern Xinjiang were difficult to find, and the stones that could be found in the early attack were transported and polished into stone bullets, and now it is basically difficult to find a large number of stones within dozens of miles nearby.
Although the stone is gone, but in order to ensure the attack of the trebuchet, the baggage battalion found another way, built several kilns in the camp, took soil and fired pottery bombs, and the pottery bullets that burned well were greatly praised by the generals of the various armies after the first trial of the army full of doubts, these pottery bombs are quite hard, not only can be attacked as stone bullets, but also after landing, they often explode because of the huge impact force, and the scattered pottery shards cause considerable damage to the enemy.
Although it does not have the power of stone bullets to destroy cities and collapse fortresses, the threat to enemy soldiers is greater, because after the pottery bombs explode, the shrapnel that flies is irregular. Ma Deheng, the commander of the baggage battalion, accompanied Su Jun to inspect the baggage battalion, Su Jun picked up a fired pottery bomb, stretched out his fingers and flicked it, listening to the voice of Qingyue, he couldn't help but be happy, I didn't expect Ma Deheng to come up with this trick, sure enough, he was careful in everything, and he was knowledgeable.
Seeing that Ma Deheng was still so unkempt, looking sloppy, and wearing a brand-new official uniform, he was also crumpled and wrinkled, and couldn't help laughing:
"Master Ma, although you are honest and very good at work, you still need to pay attention to this appearance, you are a senior member of my Taidang County, and in the entire Taidang County, there are only a handful of officials who can do it at your level. If you weren't wearing this official uniform, others would think you were just an ordinary craftsman. ”
Ma Deheng laughed and said:
In fact, in Deheng's heart, he will always be a craftsman, as a craftsman, if I pay attention to the official authority and etiquette, and do not go to the front line to see, listen, test, and do it myself, then Deheng will lose his nature and will not be able to do things for Hou Ye. However, since Hou Ye has ordered, Deheng must pay attention to it in the future. ”
Su Jun laughed, reached out and patted Ma Deheng's shoulder, and said:
"Okay, that's a good point, but I'm a little lost, you're right, I can easily find a senior official, but it's extremely difficult to find a master like you, Master Ma, you don't have to change, just follow your heart, to be honest, a person has been an official for a long time, it's really easy to change his own character, you can keep a pure heart, I'm very pleased, and I'm very happy"
Ma Deheng clenched his fists and said in a low voice.
"Thank you Hou Ye for your false praise, Deheng is not talented, and he is willing to work hard to make more powerful weapons for Hou Ye, and do his part for Hou Ye to level the world."
Su Jun smiled and said nothing, now everyone in Taidang County is very high-spirited, not to mention those generals who command the army, even Ma Deheng, who has never asked about the world and is dedicated to studying, has also looked at the world.
