Volume 1 Chapter 71: All the Way West (5)
Ling Jingyang asked the old steamed bun to invite Wan Liyun, Wan Liyun is good at conspiracy, maybe he can think of raising grain and grass, and after a while, the old steamed bun invited Wan Liyun over.
Wan Liyun listened to the old steamed bun to rob Jiannu, and he didn't agree, and emphasized with the old steamed bun that Jiannu was powerful, and the entire Beizhili had no strength to confront Jiannu for the time being, so if you can't provoke it, try not to provoke.
Fortunately, Ling Jingyang led the stone camp back to save Wan Liyun's life, and he couldn't help but bump into Wan Liyun: "If we don't rob Jiannu, we will starve to death, and it is impossible to be cheeky and surrender Jiannu, right?" ”
Wan Liyun's forehead was bruised, wasn't this a slap in the face? The mustache was also angry and cocked, and there was a hint of viciousness in his eyes when he looked at the old steamed bun.
Seeing that Wanliyun was about to run away, Quan Tiefeng hurriedly came out to play a round: "Captain Wandu, the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first, my stone camp not only has soldiers and horses from various departments, but also the families of the Ning army, and more people will be accepted along the way, without grain and grass, it is difficult to move an inch." ”
Wan Liyun closed his eyes, thought for a while, and thought of Ling Jingyang together, and led the troops to rob the big households, although the Yongping Mansion was in turmoil, but there were still many large local families, but these big families all had private armed forces, and there were some big families, and there were even family children who were officials in the imperial court.
He opened his mouth, but finally confessed that he could use the silver to buy grain from the people.
Quan Tiefeng has been stationed in Jizhen for many years, and understands the living standards of the local people, most of the people in the vicinity have already run clean, even if there is food, they will not sell it to Shiying, maybe Jiannu is one step ahead of them and robs the people.
Ling Jingyang suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute." ”
The three of them looked at Ling Jingyang blankly, Ling Jingyang is not a saint, when the troops run out of food, he can't guarantee that the troops will break through the lower limit, but Jiannu goes to rob the people of grain and grass, they can ambush Jiannu halfway and snatch the grain and grass back.
Then divide half to the people, not only can establish the prestige of the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, but also be able to buy the hearts of the local people in Yongping Mansion, which is a profitable business, of course, the premise is to beat the Jiannu grain grabbing team.
Unlike Ling Jingyang, Wan Liyun and the others felt that Ling Jingyang took off his pants and farted, but they didn't dare to say it, Ling Jingyang looked at the old steamed bun and the others and wanted to stop talking, and said, "What kind of fart are you holding back, hurry up?" ”
The old steamed bun is straightforward and fast-talking, although he is an old talent in the Ming Dynasty, he has been fighting in the army for many years, and he no longer has so many benevolence and morality: "Captain, robbing the common people is the same as robbing the slaves, let's rob the common people, and don't kill people, isn't it better?" ”
The whole wind also added fuel and vinegar: "Yes, let Jiannu rob the people, and then go to rob Jiannu, this is to fight with Jiannu's short soldiers, it's okay to fight, but you can't beat the lost soldiers, let Jiannu run back a few, and it will also attract Jiannu other soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress our army." ”
Wanliyun Bingxue is smart, and he can't quite understand which tendon Ling Jingyang is wrong, he swore to Ling Jingyang that the people robbed it, how would they know that it was Shiying who robbed them?
This is the sorrow of the feudal army, I don't realize the importance of the people's hearts at all, and I don't know how to win the hearts of the people and use them for it. ”
The three of them nodded numbly, and Ling Jingyang asked Quan Tiefeng to tell him that there were other cities near Sanyingtun that had surplus food?
Quan Tiefeng immediately replied to Ling Jingyang, Zunhua City may have surplus grain, but Zunhua City has thick walls, the main force of the Dashun Army was defeated, and the defenders of Zunhua City either withdrew or surrendered to Jiannu, Shiying took the liberty of going to Zunhua, afraid that it would be made dumplings by Jiannu?
Ling Jingyang had a little impression of Zunhua City, when he opened the way for the right camp, he had passed by Zunhua City, he thought that the Dashun army had retreated to the capital, and the Jiannu army was not so large that it could garrison a large number of troops in any place, and Zunhua City had a high probability of being in a power vacuum.
The soldiers were very fast, he and all the wind said: "The main force of Jiannu pursued the main force of our army, and there were not many soldiers and horses stationed in Yongping Mansion, Yingtianfu and other places, and our army captured the city with few defensive troops as quickly as possible, and obtained supplies on the spot, and when the supplies were collected to a certain extent, our army went west with all its strength and went straight to Shanxi. ”
This is a good tactic, the main force of Jiannu is gathered in the capital, there will be a period of power vacuum in the local area, and the stone camp can quickly seize valuable grain, grass, ordnance and other materials, Ling Jingyang asked Quan Tiefeng, where is the current position of the troops.
All the wind replied to him, the troops are at the foot of the Great Wall north of Qian'an County, Ling Jingyang's mind instantly lit up, Qian'an County?
Li Zicheng also gathered troops and horses not long ago, and fought another battle with Jiannu in Qian'an, Lulong and other places, Qian'an City is very close to Yongping Mansion and Lulong, and there may be a large number of materials in these two places.
Jiannu couldn't have imagined that they relied on despicable and shameless sneak attacks on the main force of the Dashun army, crushing the remnants of the Dashun army to the capital, but there was no rear city like Qian'an and Lulong.
Ling Jingyang immediately ordered a raid on Qian'an City, Wan Liyun asked him if he only let the Shiying soldiers participate in the battle, but Ling Jingyang let the entire army press up together, there are many people and great strength, if Qian'an City has materials, the hands of more than 1,000 soldiers and civilians can empty Qian'an City.
The battle order was quickly issued to all departments, and the families of the Guanning army also received the battle order, and many people did not want to fight, but under the angry reprimand of Qin Lie and other officers and soldiers of the Guanning army, they obediently participated in the battle.
After listening to Jingyang and Wan Liyun, and Quan Tiefeng unified their opinions, they summoned Li Rufeng and Leng Rutie, two generals, Li Rufeng and Leng Rutie have completely different personalities, one dares to fight and dare to rush, and the other is content with the rock, Ling Jingyang and the two talked about attacking Qian'an County, not on a whim, but to achieve the strategic goal of attacking Qian'an and obtaining grain and grass.
Li Rufeng asked Ying to take the lead and lead the cavalry battalion to Qian'an County to spy on intelligence, and Ling Jingyang agreed that the cavalry battalion would go to Qian'an County, but let Leng Rutie follow Li Rufeng to Qian'an County.
Leng Rutie didn't expect that Ling Jingyang would let him go with him, and Li Rufeng was also a little surprised, thinking that Ling Jingyang didn't recognize his ability.
"You two together, I'm relieved."
Before leaving, Li Rufeng asked Ling Jingyang to continue to inquire about the information of Lulong County after obtaining the information of Qian'an County.
Ling Jingyang thought for a while, Lulong County is governed by Yongping Prefecture, and after Jiannu is captured, he will garrison troops and grain here, and if there is no grain and grass in Qian'an County, he will only attack Lulong County.
If there is no grain and grass, he will set up an ambush in Qian'an City, welcome the soldiers and horses who came to support Qian'an City into Qian'an City, and eliminate some of the soldiers and horses of Lulong County in Qian'an City, which will be used to deter the Lulong defenders, and can also reduce casualties for the next attack on Lulong City.
Li Rufeng and Ling Rutie led more than 20 cavalry with good horsemanship to Qian'an County, Ling Jingyang later in the evening, with a large army rushed to Qian'an City, in order to prevent the news from leaking, he asked Dong Daqi and Lao Mantou to take 50 soldiers each, wandering on both sides of the team, some left the army halfway, killed, and all the prisoners in the army were mixed in the team.
Ling Jingyang thought that under high pressure, no one dared to betray, but after all, people's hearts were separated by the belly, and before it was about to get dark, traitors appeared among the families of Guan Ningjun.
These traitors were Zhu Youzhen mixed in the crowd, squinting his eyes and seeing that since he was appointed by Ling Jingyang as the head of internal affairs, Zhu Youzhen's whole person had changed, and Wang Chengen also felt that he exuded a cold aura all over his body.
In order to better assume the responsibilities of the Department of Internal Affairs, Zhu Youzhen deliberately changed into the clothes of the people and blended into the family members of the Guanning Army, who had six or seven hundred family members, and no one knew anyone.
Zhu Youzhen is like a fish in water inside, during the day, many family members are full of enthusiasm, although they are not soldiers, they still have the courage to go to war with Jiannu, and a small number of people who dare not go to war honestly bow their heads and walk with the large army.
When it was about to get dark, Zhu Youzhen suddenly noticed that the team had a different taste, and several people who were clamoring to go to Qian'an to find Jiannu for revenge during the day suddenly made no sound, not only that, but there was also a sudden increase in the team, and the crowd began to gather together in twos and threes, Zhu Youzhen found a place to squat down and carefully measure the changes in the surrounding environment.
With his unremitting efforts, he finally saw a group of people walking in the same direction, these people were very smart, and deliberately pretended to take a walk, but the ultimate goal was to rear.
Tonight, Qin Lie's troops were in charge of the task of breaking the post, he did not have many soldiers and horses, and the officers and men of the Guanning Army in the headquarters suffered great losses in the battle, and the task of breaking the post-break was only to prevent anyone from falling behind.
After dinner, Qin Lie led a group of recruits to practice in the open field, and the rear army defense was responsible for his own soldiers.
Zhu Youzhen found Ling Jingyang and reported the news to Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang's eyes shimmered, summoned Lao Mantou and Dong Daqi, and brought the two soldiers to the rear army.
At this time, a family member of the Guan Ning Army sneaked to the rear army, and seeing that there was no one around, the thief squeezed out fifty taels of silver from his pocket and quietly placed it at the feet of Qin Lie's personal soldiers.
Dong Daqi had already led his subordinates to garrison fifty meters north of the rear army, and the old steamed bun was tumbling with his blood and blood, carrying a big blade, rushing up with the troops, and yelling: "Don't go." ”
Then the knife was put on the neck of Qin Lie's personal soldiers, and more than forty family members of the Guanning Army were frightened by this roar, and Qin Lie, who was training the recruits, also heard the shout, and hurriedly led people back, and saw Dong Daqi with the soldiers, driving dozens of Guanning Army family members to a low-lying place, and his personal soldiers were also held by the old steamed bun with a big knife against their necks.
