Lu Ming climbed to the top of a dock fort and looked down to the south.

The water meanders all the way south, through the flat expanse of the wilderness.

The wilderness is barren and quiet, and barren meadows can be seen everywhere.

When it reached Fangtou, Qishui seemed to encounter great resistance, was tamed by the earth, folded to the east, and merged into the white ditch.

In the triangle where Baigou and Qishui intersect, there are many flags and crowds.

Countless Ding Zhuang were shirtless and tamped the foundation.

A large group of auxiliaries held nets woven of hemp rope and repeatedly sifted through the fine soil.

There are also people pointing and planning the layout of the city.

What a lively scene of city building!

To the north of the construction site, a trench has been dug and a second is being excavated.

The trench was connected to Qishui and served as a moat.

Behind the trench, a low earthen wall was built, behind which the sergeants were guarded, quietly looking ahead. At intervals, they even planted crossbows, and the sergeants sat on the ground, ready to be called.

Before the trench, it seemed to be flat and boundless, but in fact, they had dug a lot of traps, and they had already suffered losses.

This posture, needless to say, must be under the guise of long-term entrenchment.

"Bang!" The drawbridge on the first trench wall was lowered.

The cavalry rushed out and lined up in the field.

Lu Ming didn't even look at it, and continued to observe the huge camp.

"General, do you want to fight?" Someone came up and asked.

"You pick men and fight them a dozen." Lu Ming waved his hand casually and said.

The men took the order and left.

Lu Ming sighed, and his worries were even worse.

The imperial court was still asking them to fight the northern city of Heyang, and before leaving, Lu Ming learned that Dahu had received two edicts in succession, and seemed to be inclined to mobilize troops and horses to go to Heyang.

But what about Fangtou's side? It's going to change course, right? This place is only two hundred miles away from Yecheng, once the Jin people gain a firm foothold and go all the way to the north, Yecheng will face a siege, and the blow to the prestige of Dahu is huge.

Heyang is still Fangtou, and a choice must be made.

Or they can return to their old tricks, choose a site to cross the river, invade Henan, and force the Jin people to retreat.

Three choices, three endings, all seem to be quite difficult.

The cavalry on both sides had already fought together, but Lu Ming didn't want to look too much, so he went directly down the tall building and came to the courtyard of the dock fort.

The Marshal of Wubao and his family stood respectfully and stood aside.

Lu Ming glanced at them casually, and suddenly found that the youngest son of the Wubao Marshal was peeking at him.

This is not surprising, his appearance is different from that of the Jin people, and he is often peeked at, so he has long been accustomed to it.

But today he felt something strange that made him feel vigilant.

The Jin army crossed the river in a big way, which had not happened for several years, and some people would wonder if the situation was about to change significantly. After all, they are all Jin people, so they naturally have a sense of closeness, and it is easy to hook up.

Lu Ming's heart froze, and he suddenly felt that Dahu didn't seem to have a choice.

Yes, all three options are bullshit, and he has only one choice: to push the Jin army down the river and keep them away from Hebei.

Otherwise, the Hebei scholars, Haoqiang, and Wubao handsomes hooked up with Shao Xun, and became between elbows and armpits, and ordinary things were also common.

In the end, it's still people's hearts and minds.

Sima Yue may not have a good reputation in Hebei, but Shao Xun may not.

This person conquered Hebei twice, one of which was to recover Yecheng, erect a monument to record his merits, and created a great reputation in Hebei.

Although those Hebei people who were good friends with Shao Xun either moved south to become officials under Shao Xun or died, there are still many who remain, which is a big hidden danger and has to be guarded against.

"Come on, give the big ...... The General reported the news. The more he thought about it, the tighter Lu Ming's heart became, and he immediately called the messenger.

Shi Le had actually left Yecheng and came straight to the Yin Dynasty.

After receiving Lu Ming's letter halfway, he read it with his staff, and then threw it directly on the ground without looking at it.

"General." All the generals looked at him.

Shi Le suddenly smiled, drew his sword, and said, "No need to look, go south to Fangtou." ”

The generals are awe-inspiring.

The autumn harvest is imminent, the army is not yet ready, and now the only thing that can be dispatched is the cavalry and a few foot soldiers.

But Dahu's order was very resolute, which made everyone abandon all kinds of distractions and boost their spirits.

It's just a fight to the death, what else is there to say?

"Peacock, Zhao Lu." Shilenab wiped his sword and called.

"The end will be." The two stepped forward in unison.

"You two have five thousand horses each, and you have more horses......

"Zhiqu Liu, you lead three thousand horses and go to ......"

……

In an instant, Shile had issued several orders, and scattered more than 10,000 horsemen.

When the autumn is high and the horses are fat, it is the time of the year when the cavalry is in the best state and strongest in combat, and it is the right time to drive.

After the three generals took the people away, the troops who went south suddenly decreased a lot.

"The King." The right Changshi stepped forward and stopped talking.

Shi Le waved his hand and said, "Don't say more. ”

Diao Ying was stunned.

Shi Le smiled lightly and said, "When is it, do you still care about that?" Shao Xun is bold, but also very steady, he now put the knife on my lower abdomen, if I still want to think about this, isn't it a joke? If I lose Yecheng, will the court send troops to take it for me? Ha ha. As soon as the army went south, the Son of Heaven came in person, and this army could not be withdrawn. ”

Diao Ying was silent, and after a moment arched his hand.

"King, Yewang and Pingyang still have to turn around." Zhang Bin reminded.

Shi Le was as good as a stream, and turned his head to look at Diao Ying.

Diao Ying immediately received the order and said, "The servant will go by himself." ”

"Good work." Shile said in harmony.

After seeing Diao Ying leave, Shi Le looked at Zhang Bin again and asked: "Meng Sun is quite wise, and he is familiar with military strategy, and when he was conquering, he had many good strategies, why did he have nothing to do with Shao Xun." ”

Zhang Bin was silent for a long time, and finally only sighed and said: "In ancient times, there were people who were in a hurry to succeed, so they used soldiers to advance, without equipment, or only rough equipment, so there is an opportunity to take advantage of; Some look ahead and look forward to the latter, and be a little frightened, so they will be suspicious, so that they will slow down, and there may be opportunities to take advantage of; There are also self-proclaimed wise generals, or do everything possible, or show the enemy to be weak, or divide the heart, this generation is not difficult to deal with, with his thousands of twists, I seek from the straight, the battle array, or rely on a knife and a gun to fight, so there is also a chance. The servant asked the king a few words—"

"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it."

"Is Shao Xun presumptuous?"

Shi Le thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It seems that he likes surprise attacks, but in fact, he has a lot of troops inside, and there are a lot of back-hands, so it is not a one-shot deal." ”

"Are they looking ahead and looking backwards?"

"I'm afraid I can't scare him. In the battle of Shamadi, the whole army crossed the river on a rainy night and acted decisively. This time, he went to Fangtou to build a city, and personally committed danger, which is a bold person. ”

"Does he like to play tricks?"

Shi Le smiled: "He is a martial artist, who attracts the hearts of the army all day long, and is good at oppressing people with great power." ”

"He has very few flaws." Zhang Bin sighed: "If someone is in his position, maybe he will gather more than 50,000 troops and go straight to Yecheng, and the victory or defeat depends on the sky." But he built a city, step by step, and dealt with this kind of person, he could only consume him. ”

Shi Le pondered for a while, and said, "It's too risky to go north from Fangtou and go straight to Yecheng, even I won't do it." Once the city was fortified, the grain route was repeatedly disturbed, the army's morale was disordered, and the retreat was a great defeat. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Le also sighed a little.

After a few years, they met Shao Xun, and they could only rely on the superiority of cavalry to protect themselves.

The side with a large number of cavalry is happy because they have the initiative on the battlefield. You can choose to fight or not, where to fight, when to fight, how to fight, this advantage is so great that it could have swept Henan.

But after several years of attacking, before you know it, the initiative in the war is suddenly gone.

Shao Xun is building a city in Fangtou, can you choose to fight or not? There is no choice.

It's time for the initiative to go to someone else's side.

It's inexplicable to think about it, the side with the advantage of cavalry actually lost the initiative on the battlefield.

Judging from the current situation, the battlefield is chosen by Shao Xun - it can only be in Fangtou.

The style of play was also chosen by Shao Xun - siege warfare.

The time to fight is also limited - the sooner the better, because once the city is built, it will be even harder.

It's fucking!

******

In the north of Fangtou City, the battle between the cavalry of the two sides ended quickly.

Like Lu Ming, Shao Xun didn't look at it much, but sat directly down to the desk and began to write letters.

The letter was addressed to the shogunate, and there was no other request, just one thing: to carry more grain.

Fangtou is a big project, the north and south two cities plus the water gate, may have to be repaired until the middle of winter, the consumption is huge.

This is also the limitation of the method of fortification.

But in the face of the side with the advantage of cavalry, there is no way, and it can only be so.

The city he built was actually a military station, not only to be able to garrison troops, but also to have a warehouse city, which was not small in scale.

The four counties directly under the central government have already collected taxes once, and the rest can only ask the Henan family for it.

In fact, they have already given a batch of military rations, but it is not enough, and they still have to ask for it.

Shao Xun wrote a letter to his father-in-law first, but he didn't say that his relatives should take the lead.

The Yu family doesn't give food, do you expect other families to give food?

After writing this letter, he wrote a letter to his two military advisors in the Yanzhou Shogunate, Jiu Bian Dun and Lu Qiu Chong.

Especially the Jiyin Bian family, which is a big family in Yanzhou, the heyday of the Bian family's six dragons, I don't know how much benefit it has made for the family, but now the family has a solid foundation.

Didn't say it, give food!

Next are the Chen County Wang clan, the Yangxia Yuan clan, the Taishan Goat clan and other relatively close scholars.

After I finished writing, I took it back with a seal.

Is it embarrassing? Seems like a little.

But that's the context of the times.

Shi Le's retreat from Gepi, a strong wall of the family can make Shi Le's soldiers cannibalistic.

Even Liu Cong, who is known as the "200,000 horsemen", has to be polite to the Pei family, the Liu family, the Xue family, the Song family, the Wang family and other Bingzhou scholars.

People can't beat you, but they can hold you back and make you lose the competition with your opponents.

The city-building tactics have been pushed all the way, and the clans in Henan will definitely "want to die", Shao Xun seems to have seen the expressions on their faces.

Haha, the ATM tastes unpleasant.

After putting down the brush, he climbed the city wall again and watched the sunset on the horizon.

At the end of the horizon, a convoy of chariots and horses was returning.

The soldiers of the Silver Spear Army escorted thousands of auxiliaries and returned with corn.

It's August, the autumn harvest is imminent, and there is a lot of grain to be harvested in the field, which can be used as a supplement for military rations.

This move will certainly offend the heroes of Hebei, but it can't be controlled so much.

If the battle is won, everyone will forget about these things.

If you can't win, it's not bad for this hatred.

The night had completely fallen, and it was dark and dreary inside and outside, as if it was not as if a great war was about to break out. Or maybe it's just the calm before the storm.
