Good morning! Three Kingdoms Workers Section 193
"Then ...... again," Zang Ba was stunned, "That's good!" β
They are a convoy of baggage transporting grain, cattle, horses, donkeys, mules, these animals have already borne a lot of grain and grass before setting off, the Huns kill an animal, and the rest of the remaining cattle and horses will naturally increase a lot of burden.
The Hun cavalry will not rush into the attack range of the Taishan army, they will only harass from a distance, and will not consume a single cavalry, but they can slowly kill the cattle of this baggage convoy.
How will they carry the grain then?
Isn't the fate of a tired, stranded, deprived of all means of transport visible?
"Leave all the dead animals in their place!" Zang Ba said sharply, "The rear army is changed to the front army!" Go back to the theater city now! β
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Brother!" The cousin was in a hurry, "What about General Lu!" Isn't she going to starve?! β
"If you don't want her to starve," said Zang Ba, "come up with some way to get rid of this Hun cavalry!" Otherwise, if you transport it once, they intercept it once, what will you do?! β
As a result, General Xiao Zang's furry face showed a very aggrieved look, and even Chen Xin felt a little pitiful.
"We will send a messenger to inform General Lu and discuss what to do. Uncle Yu don't worry, General Lu set off with a month's worth of grain and rice, if there is a shortage of food, go to a thousand times. β
General Xiao Zang thought about it for a while, and suddenly asked a very fatal question.
"Is there any food for a thousand times?"
While the messengers were marching through the land of Qingzhou in search of their general, and were ready to present the rather unfortunate news, this army of 3,000 Beihai soldiers, 3,000 people, and more than 6,000 men, had already marched to Guangrao, and was encamping.
Although this general Xiaolu is a woman, she is very strict in governing the army, and when she sets up the village every day, she will carefully check how to build fences, how to dig trenches, and how to place spikes.
In addition to these, she was very concerned about whether the bow and arrows were properly maintained in the rain, whether the spear shaft would crack in the sun, and whether the soldiers' straw sandals had been replaced in time, and even made the soldiers secretly discuss in private, feeling that the female general was a little too lenient.
Especially in the camp, even the free hands must be strictly investigated!
Anyone who is relieved near the water intake point will be beaten with twenty sticks once caught!
What a reason! On the night of the big night, you must also go to the fixed pit to relieve yourself! In this cold night, when the cold wind blows, my whole body is shivering, and I have to run so far! What a reason!
But General Lu was very serious about these things, causing everyone to complain a little.
After all, he has been under Kong Rong's command for a long time, and the well-known Kong envoy is not used to mundane affairs, and these small things are decided by the junior officers below, and everyone wants to save trouble together.
Therefore, after Lu Xuanyu took over this army, she felt very unlucky, and she needed to spend a lot of time correcting the bad problems of these county soldiers.
β¦β¦ For example, wash your hands before eating and after using the toilet, for example, urine and urine must be in a fixed position, especially not to pollute domestic water.
The weather is getting hotter by the day, and all the small negligence can cause the plague.
Plague destroys an army.
Of course, it's not that only the plague can destroy an armyβshe said it in her heart.
The fields and jungles are becoming greener day by day, and the spring breeze is gradually becoming more and more blushing.
After inspecting the trivial matters of the soldiers encamped, she was eager to go back to the Chinese military tent to rest, after all, she had to get up at about four o'clock in the morning during the march, and now she was very sleepy.
But when she closed her eyes, the sand table in her brain was slowly restoring the situation on the battlefield.
She and Yuan Tan's army gradually approached.
Yuan Tan ignored Qiancheng and continued to come towards the drama city, which was also expected by her.
This impatient eldest prince wanted to fight quickly and crush her army with superior forces, but Lu Xuanyu wanted the exact opposite of him.
She's waiting for good news.
As long as Tai Shici's news came back and told her that she was tired of being burned with grain and grass, Yuan Tan, who was short of grain and grass, would withdraw his army.
Therefore, she did not plan to fight Yuan Tan, she just wanted to stay here and grind time with Yuan Dagongzi, so she was ready to build the camp into a rock-solid and impregnable city, so as to support the rest of the waiting time.
The wait was long and painful, but she was still confident.
Lu Hangyu leaned on the table and closed his eyes to recuperate, but somehow fell asleep groggily.
Cavalry Pegasus rushed into the middle barracks.
"Generalββ!
She suddenly woke up, "How?!" Is there any news from Ziyi? β
"General, it's Chen Zhen's letter from Chen Langjun!"
"Chen?" She asked, "What letter did he come from?" Show me! β
This Chinese military tent is very simple, except for a blanket used to keep out the cold, a brazier brazier, there is no anything of value to be seen, so it looks gray and simple, and the young general who stands in the middle and reads the letter carefully also looks gray, without half of its brilliance.
But when she finally finished reading the letter, she raised her eyes, and a cold light bloomed from her eyes, and the entire Chinese military tent was enveloped in this cold light.
"Gather the people and raise the account." Lu Hangyu didn't say much, just gave such a brief order.
Her food channel was cut off.
It's not good news, but she has to face it and she has to be prepared.
[Have you made up your mind?] γ
She nodded slightly.
[I want to fight Yuan Tan in a decisive battle. γ
Chapter 195
Why should we consider a decisive battle now?
The idea of the land hanging fish is simple.
In this era, there are not so many modern communication tools, and who can obtain how much information depends on the quality and quantity of the pre-war preparations and scouts of both sides, so whether Tai Shici has succeeded in burning down the granary of the city of Yanci, she doesn't know anything for the time being.
But her grain channel was cut off, but Yuan Tan probably knew.
Taishan Kou does not have enough cavalry, and Zang Ba also has his own calculations, so before the state army enters Qingzhou, her grain route will continue to be harassed by the Huns, and it will continue to be difficult to transport grain.
The Hun cavalry would not come to her, but she could not use this infantry-based army to go around and catch the wild men who were going to eat and drink at once.
So the next question is:
Once Yuan Tan knew that she was alone and could only wait for the next winter wheat to eat, what would happen?
If she was Yuan Tan, she would not be in a hurry to fight a decisive battle at all, but would patiently follow these three thousand Beihai soldiers. They always have to go and collect grain, and even if they ask the people to collect it, the soldiers must protect them. Once scattered for the sake of "eating", then the death of this army is not far away, who will leave such an army alive?
So she had to think of a solution.
The original idea of ending the war with dignity and ease was in vain, and she needed a quicker and more powerful way to end the war.
β¦β¦ There is only a decisive battle.
Since there is going to be a decisive battle, then she should sketch out - what kind of general is Yuan Tan?
[He crossed the water a month early," she thought, "he obviously has plenty of boats and a vast riverbank, and he doesn't need to worry about the spring water at all. γ
[But he still set off early, not only that, but he bypassed the thousand vehicles, and now the thousand vehicles are behind him.] γ
[He sent Hun cavalry to harass me everywhere in the Beihai and cut off my food routes," she said, "What kind of person is he? γ
[A resolute man? γ
[It could also be an impatient person.] γ
The Black Blade said it had no objection, [How are you going to determine this matter?] γ
Before the officers arrived, she sat back behind the desk and thought quietly.
The coals in the charcoal basin occasionally made a slight popping sound, but this sound was immediately drowned out by the noise outside the camp.
A soldier dropped a weapon on the march and was found during the inspection, which caused the officer to scold loudly, according to military law, if you lose a weapon, you will not only be scolded, but you will be beaten with a military stick if it is light, and you can be dragged out and beheaded if it is heavy.
β¦β¦ This army reminded her all the time that they were not the elite soldiers she brought out, they were just county soldiers under Kong Rong's command, and their combat effectiveness was stronger than that of new recruits, but they were definitely doubtful.
[It doesn't matter,] she thought optimistically, [Qingzhou soldiers may be worse than these Beihai soldiers. γ
[Are you saying that Yuan Tan only has Qingzhou soldiers under his command? ] γ
β¦β¦ As the officers walked into the tent one by one, the young general let out a long sigh.
"Let's take a look," she said, "and see what they're doing." γ
[What's a good idea?] Blackblade asked with interest.
γβ¦β¦ Well,] she thought for a moment, [Do you know that for those Qingzhou soldiers, this is the Qingzhou Civil War? γ
[So? γ
[So,] she said, "The accents of the soldiers on both sides are actually about the same, isn't that interesting?" γ
If possible, people everywhere would not want to witness a war.
Therefore, those scholars and Haoqiang, who had a little family business, took their family property, led cattle and sheep, some rode in chariots, some on horses, and followed by many Qianshou and servants who could only trek slowly on two legs, all the way to the south.
Although I heard that the theater has become more and more crowded, and many people have no place to live and have to set up their tents on dirt roads, the news of this is more reassuring.
In addition, because the city wall was repaired and the trenches were dug, they were also regarded as the second choice by the less wealthy people around, and they carried two bags of corn at home in a panic, plus a few feet of rags, led the children, supported the elderly, and ran away with the Qiancheng.
It seemed like a good choiceβas Yuan Tan's army bypassed the Thousand Rides and continued to the southeast, many in the city thought so.
And among the people who did not walk so fast, and were still struggling to get outside, a small part of them had seen such a war.
Even if it is not the whole picture of this war, but only a part of it, it is enough to make them talk about it for a long time to come.
The armies on both sides were slowly approaching, from the initial hundreds of miles to a hundred miles away, and then the armies on the Beihai side slowed down, while the armies on Jizhou picked up.
It was indeed a strong army of soldiers and horses, and the people had palpitations, so they preached from ear to ear - you have never seen such a black army before, boundless, spreading to the end of the sky, like black clouds, where they walked, the trees did not grow, the grass withered, they were so terrible, it was like the Yin soldiers released by the king of Taishan Mansion in the bizarre stories told by those alchemists!
And the army of Beihai is much more pitiful, of course they are also a long army, they hold the flag of Beihai Xiangkongrong, the flag rings in the wind, as if the footsteps of the army are louder than the footsteps of the army when they march, and their swords are also worn very neatly, but their little strength, walking on dirt roads, does not even need to trample on wheat fields, so how can they compete with the army of Jizhou?
Some scholars say that Kong Yuanjun was a benevolent and righteous gentleman, so not only did famous generals help him, but the gods of heaven would also protect him.
β¦β¦ But how many troops can the gods send?
β¦β¦ General Lu, who is said to have a bizarre identity and has both a divine sword and magical powers, how much skill does he have?
After both sides frequently sent scouts to investigate each other's movements, the distance between the two armies was finally only five miles, and they came to the middle of the vast hinterland, next to a small river called "Xiaoqing River".
