Chapter 45: The Great War is about to begin
A gang of bandits led by Tian Hu had no idea of planting and producing at all, if it weren't for Chen Fei's strict order not to affect the farmers' farming, the people of QY County would have become homeless!
However, the daily consumption of nearly 10,000 Jin troops is still huge, and after the standing army is absorbed, 1,000 young and strong people were selected to join the new army, with 3,000 people and more than 6,000 auxiliary troops.
At the first military congress, the new army was officially renamed the Tiger Army!
After training and running-in, the Jin army launched an attack on the surrounding counties again.
Feeding the war with war is currently the fastest way to solve the pressure of grain and grass, even if there will be problems such as unstable foundations, but that is no longer something Chen Fei needs to worry about.
It is a historical necessity, otherwise there would not be a situation where Tian Hu was destroyed not long after the establishment of the pseudo-Jin Dynasty.
After a month of discussion, officials in Qinzhou did not come up with an effective solution, and after receiving the news that two more counties had fallen into the hands of thieves, they finally had to report it layer by layer.
Zhang Changnian also entered the forbidden army as he wished, but instead of a promotion and salary increase, he was sent to the forbidden army prison as a scapegoat for the black cauldron!
The puppet Jin Dynasty continued to capture the surrounding counties and the development was in full swing, and the Great Song Dynasty also reacted after being furious, ordering Gongsun Shu to lead 100,000 troops to fight against the rebels, and the great eunuch Tong Guan was the supervisor of the army!
The 100,000 conquest army of the imperial court plus countless people, the mighty team set off from the capital and it has been more than a year since the change in Qinzhou!
Tian Hu's team is no longer a rabble that once could not be on the stage, and the main combat force has expanded to 10,000 people, becoming a veritable general!
In a tall and luxurious courtyard, Tian Hu was in high spirits, and he already had the breath of a superior on his body.
He said: "According to the report from the spies, the 100,000 troops of the imperial court will arrive in Qinzhou in three days, and the generals will have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?"
Zhao Neng, who had already led a battalion, stood up, and said in a rude big man's urn voice: "The Song army is a group of soft eggs, as long as the general gives the order, his subordinates will immediately bring people to destroy them!"
"A battalion of 500 people dares to shout to destroy an army of 100,000! I am not afraid of the wind and flashing my tongue, what a big breath!" a gloomy voice sounded.
With the expansion of the sphere of influence, the puppet Jin gradually began to divide factions, and they usually competed for the limelight when they seized the opportunity.
Fortunately, Chen Fei was in charge of the town, so there was no big incident, but there were constant small frictions in private.
The infighting may also be one of the reasons why Tian Hu was able to defeat the Song army and establish the puppet Jin in the original trajectory, but it was finally destroyed.
The quarrel in the conference hall became more and more intense, but Chen Fei was closing his eyes and recuperating, as if he hadn't heard the quarrel.
Syllable!
Tian Hu slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Shut up for me!"
A moment ago, there was a constant quarrel, like a meeting hall in a vegetable market, which instantly became quiet.
Tian Hu looked at the man below who was there, and asked with a pleasant face: "Military advisor, the Song army is powerful, can there be a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?"
Chen Fei opened his eyes, the corners of his lips turned up, and said leisurely: "This battle must be fought, and it must be painful for the Song army, so that they will not dare to attack it easily in a short time!"
The Great Song Dynasty was at a time of internal and external troubles, and it was able to have an army of 100,000 troops! Only by making a name for itself this time and completely deterring the other party could it gain a firm foothold, and the establishment of the puppet Jin Dynasty could be regarded as a real hammer!
The success or failure of the mission is here!
Tian Hu's eyes showed a worried look: "But the enemy's 100,000 army is coming, and the Tiger Army is only 8,000 people, and the disparity in strength is too great." ”
Chen Fei didn't care and said: "The Tiger Army is more than enough to fight with 1 to 5, and there are 20,000 auxiliary troops to fight together, and the gap is not big." As far as I know, the combat strength of the imperial forbidden army is about the same as that of our auxiliary army!"
In ancient wars, even if one-third of the troops were lost, let alone the erosive Song army, as long as one-fifth of the troops were defeated in one go, they were guaranteed to flee in the wilderness!
After Chen Fei's flickering, the shaking people's hearts finally calmed down, and with the issuance of one order after another, they began to reorganize their arms for war!
Of course, the actual situation is certainly not so optimistic, and it can even be said that this battle is extremely dangerous!
But Chen Fei can't say these words, if he is scared to Tian Hu, he will break up the gang, and he will get away with .......
In the hall of Qinzhou, Tong Guan read out the emperor's holy decree, and said angrily: "This prison is to levy the army to monitor, and if you have the emperor's grace, someone will come~ tie him up and take him back to the emperor to send him down!"
Several forbidden soldiers pounced on them like wolves, and in an instant, they tied Zhang Changnian, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, into zongzi.
Wu Wei'an and the others secretly wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads, and secretly rejoiced in their hearts: "Thanks to sending a large amount of gold and silver last night, I took myself out~!"
When the army arrived in Qinzhou last night, Wu Wei'an prepared a sumptuous reception banquet for Tong Guan and Gongsun Shu. At the dinner, Wu Wei'an put all the responsibility on poor Zhang Changnian, and then gave the gold, silver and jewelry raised by Qinzhou officials to finally get through the difficulties.
After the scapegoat was escorted out, the people present tacitly stopped mentioning the loss of the city, and began to discuss how to levy the thieves.
"The imperial court is in an eventful season, and the emperor does not want to waste too much time on the conquest, so he must fight quickly!"
Tong Guan was the first to speak, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he set the tone for this battle.
The generals below were silent, and even the commander Gongsun Shu frowned, the emperor didn't say these words before the army set out!
Although he knew that Tong Guan made a private decision in order to invite credit, others did not dare to have any objections.
Gongsun Shu pondered for a moment and said: "Since the emperor has an order, this commander must obey it! If you want to fight a quick battle, you can only try to fight head-on and annihilate the main force of thieves!"
"Oh~?" Tong Guan raised his eyebrows and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what the best plan Gongsun has?"
Gongsun Shu did not reply in a hurry, and hesitated in his heart to make a decision.
Tong Guan showed a look of dissatisfaction, and said in a strange manner: "Isn't it possible that Lord Gongsun's strategy of marching and arranging the formation can not be known to this prisoner?"
"No, no, no, the Scouts misunderstood. Gongsun Shu hurriedly explained, weighed it for a moment in his heart, and said with the mentality of not offending the villain.
"Tian Hu and the others are just a group of bandits and outcasts, and they were able to succeed in a sneak attack only by relying on the slackness of the defenders! This commander used himself as bait to lure out the main force of the thieves, and the Tong Jian Army led the main force of our army to annihilate them in one fell swoop!"
Tong Guan was happy in his heart, he was able to return to Beijing to receive the reward quickly, and he didn't have to risk himself.
Good strategy, he likes it the most~!
He was happy in his heart, but his face showed concern: "This plan is very good, but Lord Gongsun is in danger of his life, in case it ......." ”
Gongsun Shuyizheng said: "Thank you for the concern of the Tong Jian Army, this marshal is dedicated to the country, and the heart of serving ......the court can be learned from heaven and earth!"
Gongsun Shuparapara said a lot of high-sounding words, all of which meant nothing: In order to please you, the boy guard army won the first merit, but the brother put his head on the waistband of his trousers, and after returning to Beijing, he will have to say a lot of good words for his brother in front of the emperor.
Alas, who let Tong Guan be a celebrity next to the emperor, dare to compete with him, I'm afraid that he will be taken down by the emperor in a few days!
Tong Guan comprehended, slapped his hands and laughed: "This plan is very good, just do it!"
