Chapter 81: Yue Wumu
The one who consumes the last is the winner.
In the ancient battlefield, the essence of consumption was the first thing to bear the brunt of grain and grass.
As long as there is enough grain and grass in Bianliang City.
Then the Jin army invaded the land around Bianliang City, and if they wanted to isolate Bianliang City, Zhao Shuo was also not afraid.
Zhao Shuo looked at Li Yanhui and said, "Li Aiqing, the next few days are the most difficult days in Bianliang City. ”
"We had a shortage of grain and grass last time."
"Yesterday, I asked Gao Yu to investigate the grain and grass resources in the city."
"I'm afraid that in seven days, the common people will have to gnaw on the bark to satisfy their hunger."
Li Yan nodded back, he also knew his responsibility as the head of the household.
Therefore, with a solemn expression, he sighed: "Now that the gold thief has just suffered defeat, it is impossible to launch an attack in full swing. ”
"But if we want to go out and prepare food and grass, it will not be possible."
"If the Jin people besiege Bianliang for another half a month, the city will be in chaos."
"Not bad! But we don't need to worry. ”
"For the sake of today's plan, we still have to consider the matter of military salaries."
"After all, so many fallen soldiers need to be compensated, and no one can suffer them, and they can't chill their hearts."
"Your Majesty is a saint, Your Majesty is the prince of benevolence and righteousness."
Zhao Shuo ignored Li Yanhui's praise and continued: "Now in Cheng'an County in the Great Song Dynasty, as well as in the area of Beijing Mansion and Taiyuan, Shanxi, the rebel armies of King Qin are gathering one after another. ”
"Zong Ze of Cheng'an County should have more than 10,000 Qinwang Yishi in his hands at this time, plus Dou Zhizhang of Qinghe County, they are all forces that cannot be underestimated."
"At present, the Jin army has built a three-hundred-mile company camp from Tongguan to Bianliang City. Their goal was to slow down the support of the Qinwang Righteous Army, and at the same time, it was also to ensure the logistics of the Jin Army. ”
"However, if the old general Zong Ze can give the Jin army a few backstabs in the Beijing defense line and break through their camp, the sticky Han army here will be greatly moved."
Zhao Shuo looked forward to the next development of the battle.
It's not like he's talking about it out of nowhere, or it's just bragging.
It is the real history of the Northern Song Dynasty, just in the last few days.
Zong Ze's rebel army and another rebel army with Yue Fei had already begun to conquer the Jin army's camps in Beijing and Taiyuan one after another.
Especially Zong Ze, in that attack, there was no defeat.
On the contrary, the Jin military camp tent was conquered by him thirteen in succession.
This was definitely the most efficient campaign in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Therefore, the old Zong Ze also shocked the Central Plains at that time.
Throughout Zong Ze's life, he has the taste of Huang Zhong, a veteran in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
But Huang Zhong was luckier than him.
After all, although Huang Zhong is not reused, his talent cannot be brought into play.
But he is the strongest military general in Changsha after all.
And what about Zong Ze of the Northern Song Dynasty?
The first half of his life was largely depressed.
It wasn't until the country was ruined that he went out of the mountains to join the army.
At this time, he was already seven years old.
The seventy-year-old man has less of the mind to make contributions.
There is only a blood to save the country!
Alas!
In fact, the Chinese race has always been like this.
Real talents are depressed in the first half of their lives and cannot be reused.
And the scholars and doctors who talk eloquently above the temple are birds and beasts.
Zhao Shuo said to Li Yan and Zhang Shuye again: "Now I have ordered Zhao Di, the king of Gaoping County, to go to Beijing, and now he is the commander of the righteous army of the king of Qin. ”
"When the time comes, the rebel army will go south, and it will also be able to restrain the Jin people."
After listening to Zhao Shuo's statement, Uncle Zhang nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the Holy Judgment has decided, now that the Jin Army has tasted the bitter fruit, it wants to revive the army's spirit and attack the city, at least after half a month." ”
"If, during this period, Zong Ze's Qinwang Righteous Army attacks the back of the Jin army as His Majesty said, the Jin army will inevitably collapse."
"It's just that the old minister is worried that those militiamen are afraid of the gold thieves, so they will be defeated."
If it weren't for Zhao Shuo, a time-traveler who knew the past and the future.
The concerns raised by Zhang Shuye are a necessary specialty of a good commander.
Because his concerns are very correct.
After all, since the Jin army went south, the Song army and the Jin army have fought dozens of times, without winning a single victory.
The same goes for a well-trained regular army.
Even the most elite Western Route Army of the Great Song Dynasty could only be on an equal footing with the Jin Army, not to mention the militia volunteers organized by the people.
In the end, they were unable to show the fighting qualities and deterrence of the regular army in many cases.
It's not that Uncle Zhang looks down on the militia.
Half a year ago, the military towns in the north basically fell under the fierce attack of the Jin army.
Otherwise, the Jin army would not have been able to move south smoothly and approach Bianliang City so calmly.
Because the northern barrier is broken.
Therefore, the imperial court had to order the three elite troops in the northwest to come to King Qin.
However, it has been more than half a year.
The Seed Army, the Folding Army, and the Yao Family Army were all scattered.
It's even close to disappearing.
What makes people all over the world feel the most pain is that the Zhejia army on the side of Fugu in Shaanxi Province surrendered because they were defeated by the Jin army.
You know, that's the maiden home of Old Taijun She in Yangmen Hujiang.
It is also the leader of the three ace legions of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The surrender of the folded army will damage the prestige of the fold.
It also brought a devastating blow to the Great Song Dynasty.
Almost all of the Song people began to see the Jin as an invincible enemy.
Therefore, the entire Song Dynasty army in the northwest and on both sides of the Yellow River saw the Jin army like a mouse saw a cat.
In the face of Uncle Zhang's uneasiness, Zhao Shuo said calmly: "Don't worry, Taiwei, I know Zong Ze, he is an old hero who knows how to advance and retreat, and knows how to fight." ”
Uncle Zhang nodded, he had heard of Zong Ze, but they had never met each other.
Now that I heard Zhao Shuo say this, I naturally no longer questioned it.
Zhao Shuo quickly pulled the crux of the problem to the food issue.
He invited Li Yanhui and Uncle Zhang to come at night, also to study a feasible profit model together.
After all, the economy of the Great Song Dynasty is also tending to be weak.
Fresh models need to be injected to stimulate economic revitalization.
In fact, Zhao Shuo has a comprehensive plan, that is, an equivalent exchange of materials.
Use the imperial court's shore as a guarantee.
For example, the merchants of Hedong wanted to get salt mines.
He needed a million taels of salt.
And the merchants of Hexi needed grain or iron ore.
Both sides can be replaced.
At this time, the imperial court only needs to make a portion.
The transaction can be completed by paying 5/10,000 of the service fee for both parties.
In other words, the biphasic funds traded by the two parties are two million taels of silver.
Then they need to pay 5,000 taels of silver to the court.
Then you don't have to go through complicated and cumbersome processes.
And that's just the beginning.
Because after the Hedong merchant got the salt, he would sell it again.
In the same way, after the merchants of Hexi obtained grain and iron ore, they would also sell them to the imperial court.
There are a few more trades in between.
