Chapter 490: Prelude to Chuzhou's Great Counteroffensive
The temperature in Chuzhou in the month was already very hot, there was no half wind, and although Leng Zhuo held up a water cover, he couldn't make himself cool on the 1st. ~~~~
"Young master, the urgent battle report just sent back from the front!"
"Oh!" Leng Zhuo, who was lying on the recliner, basking in the sun and enjoying the beauty of life, sat up, took the battle report delivered by Liang Hongy-, glanced at it quickly, and then lay down again, and said, "Did you send it to the military division?"
"Well, Junshi Liu, Junshi Zhuge and Junshi Pang all copied a copy of it according to the instructions of the young master!" Leng Zhuoen sighed, and then he didn't go down, just pinched his shoulder with his hand, Liang Hongy-where would not care, stepped forward, came behind Leng Zhuo, and gently pinched it, Leng Zhuo snorted comfortably twice, and then said: "How is the progress of Nanping!"
"Fifteen large granaries of the first phase of the plan, twenty granaries, and twenty arsenals have completed Qiwei, and the completion of the drying warehouse can be used close to Sanwei, it is estimated that in the next week, it will be put into use in 6 times, and within half a month, the first phase of the warehouse building plan will be completed!"
"Degree, let them speed up the degree, these warehouses must be built for me in the month, and then immediately start the second phase of the construction plan, and the repair progress of the warehouses in Dongluocang is not good!"
"It'll be over in three days!"
"The summer harvest is coming soon, what is the situation on Kong Mingchen's side?" Cangyu has built a batch, but compared to Cangyu, what is more important is how much grain and grass can be purchased for this summer harvest, in the three months from March to March, Leng Zhuo was almost rooted in Nanpingcang, except for providing logistics supplies for Yue Fei's Yangzhou Navy, he did not contact any division.
"According to the young master's proposal, in April, we have already begun to arrange, using the current status of our Weeping Blood Castle, to convene merchants from all over the country to discuss the purchase of grain, the purchase of spare military supplies, and after these two months of advance arrangement, now everywhere has begun to purchase grain and grass in advance, and has prepaid 300,000 gold coins for reservations!"
According to the grain price in Chuzhou, the price of a load of rice is less than two silver, but the current highest grain price has reached five silver and a load, of course, it may be lower locally, but there are also about four silver, and the reservation of 300,000 gold coins can only buy five million loads of grain and grass, which is far less than Leng Zhuo wants.
"How's that?"
Liang Hongy-hesitated for a moment and said: "It may be that our recent large-scale acquisition has attracted the attention of those local landlords, so some people are no longer buying and selling grain, and they are learning from us to order grain in advance, and then hoard, it seems that they have the intention of waiting for the price of grain to rise!"
"In addition, there may be people from the Huang family who are in the way, a few days ago, someone saw that the Huang family invited a few people to a banquet in the nearby local county government!"
Leng Zhuo snorted lightly and said, "This Huang family is really going to fight with me, how much grain and grass have we purchased from Yangzhou!"
"Since March, we have begun to secretly buy, and we have hoarded no less than 15 million quintals, and if we continue to buy in the summer harvest, it should reach 40 million quintals, but there seem to be people in Yangzhou who feel that the price of grain and grass purchased recently has risen a little!"
"As long as it's only three silver coins, you can collect as much as you can!
"Yes, but Miss Y-Fox said that let the young master go to Yangzhou to see her in person, otherwise everything will not be discussed!" Liang Hong said and glanced at Leng Zhuo's face
Leng Zhuo frowned slightly, and said: "How can I have time to go to Yangzhou now, forget it, don't give her some money for the house, then you can't blame me, you will go to Kong Mingchen for me later, ask him to stop the purchase of grain, and all the deposits will be calculated according to the price set before, and then send a letter to Weeping Blood Castle, and let Ya'er organize people to transport all the hoarded grain and grass to me!"
"Since they're going to play, let's play a big game and see who has played whom!" Leng Zhuo yī sneered. Leng Zhuo smiled, and jumped the topic again: "How many carts have been built, and how many donkeys and horses have been acquired!"
"The cart has been rushed out of 400 planes, but this month there can be 300 carts out, next month the new two workshops will also 6 continue to go on the regular, almost 700 carts, as for the donkey horses we have purchased more than 1,000 before and after, and from Yongzhou, Shuzhou to buy the pond horses negotiated there are tens of thousands of horses, but because the distance is too far, so it is transported, may have to wait for more than a month. ”
"It's not enough, find a way to believe in the past, no matter how much 1a is, in short, as long as there is a sale, give it to me! Leng Zhuo said.
"Got it!"
Liang Hongy-nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, there was a fast horse report just now, and there will be 6 more of our soldiers and horses coming over tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"
"Well, choose a place to settle down, as for their camp number, I have already asked for it, just go back and change it directly! You go and arrange what I just said! By the way, where did Long Wushuang run! I don't seem to have seen her for two or three days. ”
Leng Zhuo finally remembered why he had been so idle in the past two days, because the V person who was following him and raising the bar noisily seemed to have disappeared.
Liang Hongy- smiled and said, "I thought that the young master knew that Miss Wushuang seemed to have gone to Weeping Blood Castle, saying that she was going to see the eldest lady!" Leng Zhuo was stunned, his eyes widened, and he looked at Liang Hongy- and said, "Why did she go to Zhilan?"
"The young master didn't say that he was going to marry someone else, and at the beginning of last month, a big war broke out in Qingzhou Heze Mansion, and Qingyang Town, where the Long family is located, was also affected, so Miss Wushuang planned to move her family to Weeping Blood Castle, didn't Miss Wushuang tell the young master-"
Leng Zhuo snorted, as if he had mentioned it, and as if he hadn't mentioned it, Leng Zhuo waved his hand and said, "I know! You go!" Leng Zhuo finished speaking, sat back in his chair, and looked up at the blue sky.
The trees are quiet, and the wind is not stopping!
Last month, in the official newspaper from the imperial capital, Leng Zhuo learned about the situation in some parts of the empire, first Youzhou and the state line, the first to start a war, the empire's seven-way army from different river sections, forced to cross the Qinluo River, Li Tang set three ways to attack, and the empire on the Qinluo River line for more than half a month.
The exact circumstances of the damage on both sides are unknown, but the result was that the empire successfully crossed the river and successfully established several bridgeheads and began to advance southward.
In the direction of Qingzhou, there were sporadic battles only in April, and at the end of April, the battle of Jī Lie began, and the northern battlefield of Qingzhou was the main battlefield on the first line of Shennongjia, and then the southern battlefield of Qingzhou, with the border between Heze and the state as the main battlefield, and the two sides fought fiercely.
At the beginning of this month, Shuzhou and Yongzhou also went all the way, down the river, and advanced in the western part of the state, without encountering too strong resistance. The situation on the battlefields everywhere, Leng Zhuo only knew that he had started fighting. Moreover, the situation in some places was still two or three months ago, and although it was impossible to grasp the detailed battle report, I also knew one thing, that is, the full-scale war began.
In Chuzhou, the battle line has been pushed to the line between Poyang Mansion and Xiangxiaoxiang Mansion and Guangling Mansion, and the anti-king army that is at a disadvantage is actually not satisfied with the status quo, attacks on a large scale, and wantonly recruits strong men to join the army, and in just two months, it has also attracted 200,000 troops to come out.
Of course, how much water can be imagined in this, so far, the offensive momentum of the anti-king army of King Xiangyang has been contained, and after this period of deployment of troops, the counteroffensive of the Chuzhou army is also ready.
The emergency war report just came, but the content is a powerful war report to Chuzhou, O1 has transferred most of the naval army into the Tianhe River to join the southern battlefield of Qingzhou, leaving only less than forty percent of the combat strength of the Xiangyang naval army in the waters near the crab claw islands west of Orangeyang County, defeated by the joint Chuyang joint naval army, retreated to Xiangyang.
It seems that the big counteroffensive is about to begin, Leng Zhuo banged on the table, the time is ripe.
Leng Zhuo thought about standing up and walked towards a tube building on a mountain not far away, this tube building is actually a round tower, more than ten zhang high, overlooking most of the Nanping position, the top can be used as a gap, of course, in addition to military purposes, it is also used as a fire alert.
And this tower-like tower is now Leng Zhuo's logistics base camp, and the institutions have been set up perfectly, such as the military division staff, En, Leng Zhuo's design department such as the logistics military department, the logistics warehouse department, as well as the logistics transportation department, the logistics procurement department, the logistics finance department and so on.
Leng Zhuo's future logistics base camp is not just for the purpose of transporting grain and grass and releasing military salaries, if it is just like that, there is no need for any military division staff department or logistics military department!
This military division staff is almost Leng Zhuo's think tank, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Liu Bowen, Kong Mingchen, Xuan Chen, Xu Wei and others are all listed, responsible for helping Leng Zhuo take care of various affairs.
Leng Zhuo came here, only Zhuge Liang Zugen and Pang Tong were present, Kong Mingchen was outside, Xuanchen was responsible for the formation of the logistics battalion, Xu Wei was in the Weeping Blood Fort, urging Yangzhou's grain and grass, Liu Bowen was busy with the affairs of the three warehouses such as Nanping, and preparing for the future food war, the only ones who were still idle were Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.
"The military report I just returned, the two military advisors have read it!"
"Young master!"
"Well, no need to be polite!" Leng Zhuo said towards a sand table in front of this huge office, this thing is not difficult for Leng Zhuo, although this sand table is not as accurate as the satellite map, but there should be everything, large state capitals, counties, rivers and lakes, although there are errors, but they are all roughly displayed on it.
Leng Zhuo has spent most of his thoughts on this in the past two months, and with this sand table weapon, it can also make the two military divisions who are thousands of miles away more clear about the battle situation in Chuzhou, deduce the progress of the war in the future, and make suggestions for Leng Zhuo's plan.
"The defeat and retreat of the Xiangyang naval army means that the water defense line has been breached, and the anti-king army of the king of Xiangyang has opened its belly and back, and it is estimated that it is time for a decisive battle, I don't know what the two military divisions think about this!"
