Chapter 127: A plan to destroy the country
That night, a fire was lit on the island, and they barbecued the animal meat they had brought with them, ready to eat it, and then returned to the boat to rest.
The firelight reflected the night sky, and everyone chatted happily and watched the meat sizzle.
Such a moment is the warmest moment, although the task is temporarily blocked, but food and clothing is a person's most basic desire. With fire and food, it feels like there is hope for everything.
Xu Feng was chatting with them. Lu Yi was talking about his hometown.
Lu Yi comes from a clan in the north, which is also close to the sea, but the sea there is different from here.
"The sea we have there, the bay freezes in the winter. This is the south, and although it's winter, it doesn't freeze, so it's really different. Lu Yi said.
Xu Feng looked at Lu Yi and listened to him.
Lu Yi usually doesn't talk much, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't like to talk, he is just used to silence in an environment far from home.
But when I meet someone who has the same hobby as myself, and who is a partner who can trust each other, he still has a lot to say.
Lu Yi has been in Lingyun Academy for many years, and he has learned magic and martial arts strategies very solidly. It's just that his character is still used to being behind the scenes, and he likes to help others operate successfully.
He positioned himself as a strategist, and Xu Feng had already seen his idea. Such a person is the most stable factor in a team.
Lu Yi said a lot of interesting anecdotes there, and everyone was very happy.
Later, Lu Yi was also asking Chang Hou about something, Chang Hou was also answering, Xu Feng and they were all listening.
These days, after meeting Chang Hou, Xu Feng often asks Chang Hou some questions about how to manage a country.
Chang Hou told him carefully. In fact, about the situation in Dongnanyi, Dashang has long known about it.
Before the war was launched, there was a lot of detailed information, so the Great Shang was only in the early stage of the war, but because of the appearance of Hu Jun, the general of Dongnan Yi, the war was variable.
Hu Jun was originally a small official in Dongnanyi, and he has been managing some very small things in the capital. When the war broke out, he was transferred to the front.
At that time, the person who transferred it was Chang Hou. At that time, the war was approaching, and Chang Hou knew that the Dongnan Yi army could not resist the army of the Great Shang Dynasty, so he began to mobilize the whole people. As long as they have the ability to fight, they are all transferred to the reserve army.
They were mixed with the original army, and Hu Jun became the leader of a small army because he had been an official in the capital. After the failure of initial resistance from the front, these reserve troops were sent to the front.
It was these people who came after him who stood in the way of the merchant army. Because many of these reservists are civilian masters. Whether it is martial arts, spells, or resourcefulness, they are all excellent. It can be said that the best war talents in Dongnanyi have been recruited into the army.
In this way, the Dongnan Yi army avoided the fate of Dongyi and Xu Yi, and did not die quickly.
They have always resisted, brave and resourceful. In their gradual retreat, they suddenly counterattacked. The merchant army was carried away by constant victories.
They were defenseless against enemy attacks that relied on difficult terrain, and they finally began to suffer defeat.
After the defeat, the morale of the Shang army was hit, and they began to fear the mountains, the rivers, and the darkness.
Even they were terrified of the cries of the wild beasts in the night.
The merchant soldiers came from the Central Plains. After a long period of development in the Central Plains, there are fewer fierce beasts in the mountains and forests. After years of hard work by magicians, there are fewer monsters.
Although there is rain there, there is not a lot of heavy rain, and there is not a lot of thunder and lightning. It is not as close to the sea as it is in the southeast, and the rain is often pouring down. Lightning is also constant, and in the southeast, there are places where lightning can last all night.
These different climatic and geographical conditions greatly affected the morale of the Shang army. The generals of the merchant army were also a little depressed in the face of such a situation.
When they conquered Dongyi and Xuyi, although there were some different climates and geographies, they were not so extreme. In the midst of such hesitation and disappointment, the two sides are at a stalemate.
Later, the king of Shang and Zong Cheng returned to Chaoge, because of the long-term war, many state affairs had to be dealt with by them.
Originally, Zong Cheng's plan was to move forward slowly, step by step.
However, Zhang Lin, the general in front of the merchant army, met Hu Jun.
Hu Jun has improved step by step in the war, he is brave and resourceful, and he is good at Jedi rebirth. When Chang Hou was not imprisoned, he was constantly promoted, and finally became a front-line general.
Hu Jun boldly devised a strategy to lure the enemy into the depths, and he spread false news that the soldiers of Dongnanyi were short of supplies and were preparing to flee.
This news Hu Jun asked the two small soldiers to pretend to escape from the Dongnanyi military camp, and they pretended to be captured by the merchant patrol. Then they revealed to the merchant army that there was a shortage of grain and grass in the southeast, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit and were ready to flee.
However, Zhang Lin, the front-line general of the merchant army, believed it, and Zhang Lin was already worried. When he heard the news, he was overjoyed. Zhang Lin closely sent people to keep an eye on the news of the Dongnan Yi army.
Sure enough, the news came that the Dongnan Yi army began to flee a lot. A few days later, I got the news that most of the Dongnan Yi army had fled.
Zhang Lin believed it, because this was the case with the soldiers of Dongnanyi in the past. They usually wander around, and they gather because of the war, and when they gather, they always carry their armor, weapons, and other things. Many soldiers were poor and had no armor.
They often have the confidence to fight on the battlefield when the wind is good, but when they encounter setbacks, they cannot continue to fight, and they scatter in a hurry.
It is because of the characteristics of the soldiers of the Southeast Yi that the generals of the merchant army are full of confidence that they can quickly defeat the Southeast Yi.
They didn't expect that they would encounter complex geographical climates, and that there were generals in the southeast who took advantage of these geographical climates to retreat step by step to attack themselves. The generals of the merchant army have always been a little depressed.
In the stalemate, Zhang Lin got the news of the recurrence of the old problems of the soldiers of Dongnanyi. He wanted to believe it in his own heart.
"Great, I said the people of the Southeast Yi won't last long... Their prime minister was imprisoned, isn't this the Qianren self-destruction of their future? It was only a matter of time before the army of the Southeast Yi collapsed... Come on, we're ready to attack," Zhang Lin said.
Sure enough, a few days later, the news came that the Dongnan Yi camp had withdrawn.
Zhang Lin was overjoyed, he chased after him with the army, he originally meant to destroy these remnant troops, and then he could go straight to the southeast Yidu City. He was already dreaming of how majestic he would be when he entered the southeast Yidu City.
He laughed out loud, and he kept laughing on the way to pursuit. But I didn't expect that all this was Hu Jun's calculation.
Hu Jun deliberately lured the Shang army to be fooled, although the people of Dongnan Yi were very scattered, but this time in the face of the battle for the destruction of their family and country, they were actually very united.
Even if they had some logistical problems, they were able to overcome them. They can eat very little and can tolerate the lack of weapons. They all stubbornly resisted the merchant army.
For them, although the civilization of this army from the northern Central Plains is very high, its own free life cannot be broken.
Although the monarch of the Southeast Yi Kingdom is often indulgent and disgusting, greedy for pleasure and arbitrary taxation, many people still strive to fight for the survival of the country when life and death are at stake.
Hu Jun succeeded in luring the merchant army into a mountain full of swamps, and Hu Jun blocked a small river in advance, and when the merchant army caught up, Hu Jun opened the blocked small river.
** The small water washed away a lot of merchant troops. At this time, the Dongnan Yi army rushed out and used the terrain to continuously slash and kill the merchant army.
The merchant army was defeated, with casualties everywhere.
In such a state, Zhang Lin could not collect those wounded soldiers, and could only flee with those who could escape.
100,000 merchant troops, half of the casualties, this is a rare fiasco for the big merchants. It basically touched the foundation of the country.
Now Zongcheng is facing such a situation, he can only win but not lose, if he loses, there will be problems with the survival of big businessmen.
When Lu Yi talked to Chang Hou about these things by the sea, Lu Yi sighed, he learned a lot from Chang Hou.
Xu Feng had been listening to the exchange between Changhou and Lu Yi, as a great general, the abilities of strategic wisdom and combat courage were very important.
Xu Feng actually communicated with Zong Cheng about the situation on the front line. Everybody knows what's going on.
The Great Shang Dynasty began to underestimate the enemy's later plans, and its vitality was greatly damaged. In fact, for the Great Shang Dynasty now, it is best to come back after withdrawing troops from the southeast.
Dongnanyi also did not have the strength to attack further.
If Dongnanyi attacked Dashang, the Shang army could lure the enemy deep and then surround it, and finally go south again to destroy Dongnanyi.
But the problem is that the king of Shang will not accept it, and the character of the king of Shang is to fight to the end. In fact, the king of Shang didn't have much time to give Zongcheng.
Xu Feng could also feel it.
Xu Feng looked at Chang Hou's appearance, and always felt very similar to Zong Cheng. Chang Hou won the war but was imprisoned by the Qianren.
Xu Feng suddenly wondered, would Zong Cheng have such a day?
The mediocrity of the Qian people is known to everyone, what about the king of Shang? At present, he is bent on laying down the southeast Yi, if he doesn't lay down or fight, what will be the fate of Zongcheng?
Let's try to fight it as soon as possible, Xu Feng thought.
Anyway, the people of Dongnan Yi are now almost tossed by the Qian people. Originally, everyone was dissatisfied with the Qianren, but now the Qianren thought that they had won the big business, and they were even more arrogant. Do something that hurts the people.
I heard that he couldn't wait to celebrate and build a bigger palace. These are all things that Chang Hou said.
In this way, the people will have to work very hard again.
Xu Feng was thinking that this was the case in Dongnanyi, a clan state by the sea, consisting of a royal city and some fortresses.
Because of their special terrain and climate, some clan countries adjacent to them have always been unable to touch them. They relied on seafood to trade with these countries on the continent and cultivated some of it themselves.
It stands to reason that if the Great Shang Dynasty did not make mistakes on its own, it could conquer them.
Xu Feng studied the exploits of King Wuding in the past, and the conquest of King Wuding was the most brilliant page of the Shang Dynasty. Whether it is the conquest of the Qiang people or Bashu or Jingchu, they are all resourceful. King Wu Ding basically didn't make any mistakes.
However, today's Shang King is only partially similar to King Wu Ding, and he feels that he is not as experienced as King Wu Ding. Xu Feng was thinking about the historical past.
Don't miss him for now, Xu Feng thought, if he is the commander of the merchant army, how can he quickly destroy the Southeast Yi?
In fact, you only need to choose a season with few thunderstorms, such as winter and spring, and try to lure the Dongnan Yi army to fight in a slightly flat place, and not fight them in the mountains and forests.
