Chapter 338: Preparing for the Siege, Movement of All Parties
The mountain crossed Maohong's camp, and the ten soldiers who returned had just returned and reported to the leader Mao Hong the results of the expedition down the mountain.
"Your Excellency, we found two teams of Great Wei soldiers at the entrance to the east and south of the camp, one of which is about five hundred people."
Mao Hong couldn't help frowning when he heard this, it seems that this time the Great Wei army in Yangzhou is going to make a move against Shanyue.
Fei Jun on the side heard that there were also Great Wei soldiers at the entrance of Mao Hong's camp, and his heart immediately sank.
The Shanyue people of Danyang County are going to spend a period of time hiding in the deep mountains and old forests again.
"Brother Mao, this Great Wei sent about 500 soldiers to guard our entrance to and from the mountain, is it preparing to enter the mountain to encircle and suppress us as before?"
Fei Jun asked Mao Hong, who was judging the movements of the Great Wei soldiers.
"It is very likely that Dawei should know that our Shanyue grain harvest this year is not good, and he is afraid that we will continue to loot Yangzhou counties, so this is to mobilize an army to prepare to beat us.
As for really going into the mountains to encircle and suppress us, I'm afraid that Zhang Liao of Yangzhou, the head of the town, will not give this order, although the Great Wei soldiers are well-armored and there is no shortage of food, but in the mountains, they can't consume our Shanyue people.
However, just in case, we still have to prepare for the transfer of grain and grass. ”
Mao Hong continued to think while speaking his judgment to Fei Jun.
"What Brother Mao said is very true, when Sun Quan led his troops to attack, the Shanyue people did not surrender, if Dawei does not use an army of more than 100,000, don't think about what to wait for me!
It's just that now that Great Wei has sent troops to block the intersection into the mountain, it will be a little difficult for me here, brother.
Originally, I wanted to rob the transport convoy of the Danyang branch again, but now it seems that there is no chance at all, alas......"
Fei Jun agreed with Mao Hong's analysis, but when he thought that he couldn't rob the transport convoy of the Danyang Branch, he was still disappointed.
"Brother Fei, listen to my brother's advice, although Dawei can't do anything to our entire Shanyue people, it is not a big problem for you to be a Shanyue camp.
This year, the days in the mountains are a little more difficult, it is better than no difficult days. ”
Mao Hong, as the leader of the big camp, still pays attention to the long-term flow of things, and although Mao Hong does not oppose the looting of other camps, he does not approve of it.
Now that the Great Wei has mobilized soldiers to block the various mountain passes, Mao Hong feels that it is better for the Fei army to be honest, and the provincial Great Wei has destroyed the Fei army's camp, and then found his own camp through the Fei army.
"What Brother Mao said is, brother, I naturally know that this time and that time, I will definitely not attack the transportation fleet of the Danyang branch again this year."
Fei Jun also understood that Mao Hong was worried that his camping would allow Dawei to launch an attack on him, thus affecting Mao Hong's camp, so Fei Jun immediately told Mao Hong that he would be honest in the mountains this year.
"Hahaha, then the old brother is relieved!"
Mao Hong smiled at Fei Jun when he heard this.
Then Mao Hong arranged more than ten soldiers again, and went to other Shanyue camps in Danyang County early tomorrow morning to inquire about the news.
In addition, Mao Hong also arranged for two Shanyue soldiers to dress up as Great Wei people, and quickly went to the Shanyue camps in Huiji County and Poyang County tomorrow to inquire about the movements of the Great Wei army.
Yangzhou Daying.
Zhang Liao was asking Cao Xing, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Gao Shun, and Song Lian how the defense of the main roads into the mountains in each county was going.
"Returning to the Great General, now there are thirty major roads into the mountains in Danyang County, and there are five hundred Great Wei soldiers stationed on each of the main roads into the mountains.
In this way, it will not make the Shanyue people panic too much, and it will not be easily broken by the Great Wei soldiers at the main road of the Shanyue people. ”
Cao Xuan first reported to Zhang Liao the situation of the defense of the main road into the mountain in Danyang County.
Then Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Gao Shun and Song Lian also reported on the defense of the main roads into the mountains in the counties they were responsible for.
After listening to the general's report, Zhang Liao nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, no matter how the Shanyue people trapped in the mountains react, the next step is to start building fortifications."
After Zhang Liao explained the next order to the generals, he continued: "If any Shanyue people take the initiative to vote, they must not be imprisoned and looted, and this Shanyue people will be subjugated under the rule of Great Wei."
If you let Ben know which of you can't control it, don't blame Ben for being ruthless! ”
The generals faced Zhang Liao, who had a serious face, and immediately replied solemnly at the same time: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
"Well, the recruitment of the people to build the fortifications has already been completed with the assistance of the various branches in Yangzhou, and soon the craftsmen will rush to the various roads into the mountains to build the fortifications.
Pay attention to protect these Yangzhou people! ”
In the end, Zhang Liao arranged for the generals to build fortifications.
After the generals left, Zhang Liao said to Cao Ren, who had been silent beside him: "Now the Shanyue people have not reacted, if we can build the fortifications before this, then Zixiao, you don't have to let the soldiers under your command go to fight with the Shanyue people." ”
Cao Ren smiled at Zhang Liao when he heard this: "If there is really that eyeless Shanyue camp, who plans to continue to loot the transport convoy of the Hanzhong branch in Yangzhou, or rob the grain and grass of the people in Yangzhou County, then I must fight hard with the Shanyue people, hahaha!" ”
"Hahaha! I will not stop you then. ”
Both Zhang Liao and Cao Ren knew that the armor and swords of the Great Wei soldiers were much better than those of the Shanyue people.
It's just a joke to say that the soldiers of Great Wei and the Shanyue people are desperate, and the Shanyue people are not qualified to fight with the soldiers of the Great Wei now, and they are only beaten by the soldiers of the Great Wei.
Just as Zhang Liao and Cao Ren continued to talk about how to settle the Shanyue people who would be subdued in the future, Lin Chuan of Hanzhong County also received a letter from the shopkeeper Li of the Yangzhou Branch, and learned about the progress of Zhang Liao and Cao Ren in dealing with the Shanyue people.
"Cangshu doesn't have to worry about the graduates of the Hanzhong Vocational School in the Yangzhou branch and the production base, and now the King of Wei has mobilized 40,000 troops to Yangzhou again.
Yangzhou now has a total of 100,000 troops under the command of General Zhang, and the people of Shanyue can't afford to turn up any storms. ”
In the study room of the Hou Mansion, Lin Chuan was asking Cao Chong, who knew that the Danyang County Branch's transport convoy had been looted by Shanyue, not to worry about the safety of the Hanzhong Branch's personnel.
"It turns out that my father has already sent more troops to Yangzhou!"
After Cao Chong listened to Lin Chuan's explanation, the worry in his heart finally disappeared.
Lin Chuan's reaction to Cao Chong was also quite appreciative, because Cao Chong heard that the Danyang County Branch's transport convoy had been looted by the Shanyue people, and the first thing he thought of was whether there were any guards of the Danyang Branch or the coachman who was injured by the Shanyue people, instead of asking how much goods the Danyang Branch had lost.
Cao Chong, who has been the principal of Hanzhong Vocational Training School for more than three years, has now slowly cultivated a people-oriented mindset, which is a good thing in Lin Chuan's view.
Take it from the people and use it for the people, the key is who to put in the first position, and Cao Chong is doing very well now.
