Chapter 65 Soldiers' Pressure
Before Luo Song and others arrived in Jiangling, Lu Qiang learned from the scouts that Liu Yi and Liu Yu had not taken a step forward after they hit Xunyang.
Xunyang belongs to Jiangzhou and can be regarded as one of Huan Xuan's starting places, but these two armies seem to have been amnesia, forgetting the fact that the officials in those places are appointed by Huan Xuan, and even some places are still dominated by Huan Xuan. The Zuoji army in Xunyang was stationed and did not take any action against other counties.
Do they want to show mercy to Huan Xuan? The answer is obviously no. That matter remains to be debatable.
Lu Qiang has dealt with Liu Yi. Although he has only seen Liu Yu once, all kinds of signs show that these two Liu are all the same.
They obviously want Lu Qiang and the remnants of the Huan family to fight for a dead net first, and then come to collect the profits of the fisherman. This is actually a conspiracy that lets you know what's going on, but you have to go on like this.
However, Lu Qiang believes that they will not laugh for a long time. Brother Sima Dewen will soon return to Jiankang. With this key figure for them and mud, their lives will not be better.
It's just that it's all later. Lu Qiang must first cheer up to deal with the present. Luo Song has sent back the news two days ago that Huan Wei, another figure of the Huan family, has gathered the old department of the Huan family in Guiyang and Lingling, intending to make a comeback.
Although the news came back, it was not very specific. Is it the exact news that came back today?
Lu Qiang hurriedly called the scouts in.
After the scout came in and knelt down to salute Lu Qiang, he took out a secret letter full of sweat from his arms.
Lu Qiang hurriedly took it, only two glances, and his face became solemn.
What did you really want? It was really the news of Huan Wei. Now he has gathered 100,000 troops and abolished the name of the head of the Huan Xuan family and the Emperor of Chu. He called himself the Overlord of Chu and went to Jiangling in two ways.
King of Chu? Dare to call any name? Has he forgotten how King Chu died?
Although Lu Qiang is not afraid of Huan's family, he currently has only 10,000 horses, but the enemy is 100,000, and he is piled up with people and killed him.
Shou people are ordered to take the scouts to rest, and then hand over the information to Tan Daoji and the two. He pondered for a moment and said, "Order the soldiers to go back to the camp to rest. Let's go back to the government office and call everyone to discuss."
The military situation is hot, and there is no room for any delay. However, as soon as Lu Qiang returned to the government office, some soldiers came to report. The owner of the Chen family set up a banquet at home and invited Lu Qiang to talk about it.
This Chen family is the Wang family in Jiangling, the head of the family, Chen Bingsheng. There are still people in the family who are officials in the Jiankang Dynasty, and their children are also from all walks of life in Jiangling. He is a veritable first-looking family in Jiangling.
When Lu Qiang first moved into Jiangling, he knew this family, but he didn't have time, and he didn't want to get too close to these scholars.
But I don't know how Chen Bingsheng came to the door today?
If you change a person and Lu Qiang has actually controlled Jiangling, it's too late to visit him, so how dare you ask Lu Qiang to go to the banquet? However, he naturally has his arrogant capital, which is his soft power in Jiangling.
If it is in peacetime, Lu Qiang may directly push it away, but it is going to suppress the situation. Unity in Jiangling City is the first priority, so he can't but give this face.
He Guangsheng was ordered to prepare some gifts, and then strode into the government office. At this time, Wang Zhen and others had also received the news and rushed over.
After Lu Qiang told the news, he gave them a little time to digest it, and then said, "What do you think? Let's talk about it!"
100,000 troops! Although there are 10,000 horses in Jiangling, the time they have been together is still short, and they dare not say that they are completely like fingers. Once there is a omission, that is, they lose all the market. It is hard to say whether they can survive or not.
Wang Zhen saw that the atmosphere was a little depressed and couldn't help laughing and said, "Actually, it's not that serious, 100,000 troops? It sounds scary. According to our intelligence, there are many mountains in the Huan family, especially when Huan Wei abandoned the position of the head of Huan Xuan's family. Don't the rest of the Huan family have any idea?
"This is the first. Second, the Huan family has managed the vast land of Jing and Jiangzhou in recent years, but in fact brought any well-being to the people. On the contrary, after our adults entered Jiangling, the land that valued the people, lazied less labor and divided Huan Xuan was given to the people. These measures to benefit the people have won the hearts of the people, so I dare to assert that The people of Jiangling will definitely defend their homeland together with adults."
Tao Yuanming also nodded and said, "What Lord Wang said is very true. As far as I know, many poor people worship adults as Buddhas of all families."
Lu Qiang waved his hand and said, "Let's get down, how can we protect our city from breaking? How to repel the enemy's attack?
Although everyone has vanity, isn't it when the score is clear?
Zhou Kui was a little discouraged and said, "That's a 100,000 army! How can we keep it? Why don't you go to Beifu..."
Before he finished his words, he was interrupted by Lu Qiang and asked the Beifu army for help? That Beifu Army? Liu Yi or Liu Yu? I guess they are also waiting for themselves to ask for help. If they go, will the previous efforts be in vain?
Tan Daoji opened his mouth. Obviously, he wanted to say something, but he consciously came for a short time, and he was afraid that someone would say something lightly.
Lu Qiang saw it, nodded to Tan Daoji and said, "General Tan has something to say, but it's okay to say it."
"Your Excellency, this is not the first time we have fought with the Huan family. Although we dare not say that the Huan family has no capable people, at least it has not appeared yet, otherwise we will not rely on the advantage of hundreds of thousands of troops to be... It was defeated by tens of thousands of Beifu Army"
Lu Qiang has already thought of this, so although he is under pressure now, he is not afraid. Moreover, Jiangling is supported by Jiancheng. As long as the soldiers and civilians in the city make up their minds, it is so easy for Huan Wei to break through Jiangling?
nodded and said, "What advice does General Tan have?"
Seeing that his statement was recognized by Lu Qiang, Tan Daoji cheered up and continued: "We have few soldiers, and it is impossible for us to face Huan Wei, and Jiangling's new attachment is not suitable for being besieged by Huan's army for a long time, so we think that we should not only defend Jiangling in this battle, but also defeat Huan Wei and let him know our Jiangling soldiers and horses. Awesome"
"What?.."
Tao Yuanming and Zhou Kui opened their mouths at the same time. Ten thousand horses guarding the city were not enough. Do you still want to defeat them? Didn't you wake up from the bar after drinking too much last night?
Lu Qiang ignored them and motioned Tan Daoji to continue talking.
"Sriors, we should first create an illusion that Huan Wei is afraid that he dares not go to fight, and then stick to the city to eliminate the spirit of the Huan army. At the same time, we ambushed a man and horse outside the city, first cut off its food channel, and then harass them from time to time until the Huan army is exhausted, which is the time when our army retreats from the enemy."
After listening to Tan Daoji's words, Lu Qiang suddenly remembered Taizu's guerrilla war and couldn't help saying: "I retreat when the enemy advances, I retreat, I retreat when the enemy retreat, I disturb the enemy, and chase when the enemy escapes..."
Although Lu Qiang's voice was not loud, the people who dared not be present all heard it. Tao Yuanming didn't realize anything. Zhou Kui's reaction was also a little slow, while Wang Zhengui, Tan Daoji and Zhao Lunwen understood it. After chewing carefully, several people's eyes lit up.
Zhao Lunwen couldn't help holding his fist and shouted, "With this 16-character truth, it's enough to retreat."
"Hmm! What did I say? Oh! Ha ha! This one! If we don't have this Jiangling City, we can make good use of it, but we have to ensure that Jiangling will not be lost, so we can't move it.
Wang Zhen nodded evilly and said, "Your excellency is right, but with your 16-word truth, we should be invincible."
Lu Qiang shook his head with a smile, which he didn't dare to bear. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said, "Hang Wei led 100,000 troops to fight against me. I believe he already knows our troops, so he will definitely think we are defending the city. What do you think?"
Although Lu Qiang's words were not fully said, everyone understood them. Tan Daoji and Zhao Lunwen looked at each other and said with fists: "The last general is willing to take the lead and never come back without retreating the enemy."
Zhou Kui couldn't help thinking that this boy didn't know what he did? Why do you always want to do those frightening things?
Lu Qiang waved his hand to let the two sit down and said, "Don't worry. There is a chance for you to make contributions. There will still be some days before the Huan army kills us. When General Luo's further news comes, we will make a final.
turned his head and said evilly to Tao Yuanming and Wang Zhen, "It's up to you to mobilize the people to repair the city wall. I'm afraid it's too late to raise the wall now, so prepare more things to guard the city!"
Tao Yuanming and Wang Zhenshu knew that time was tight, so they immediately left to prepare for the order.
"General Zhou, strengthen the patrols in the city and the investigation at the gate to prevent Huan Jun's spy from sneaking in"
"My subordinates command"
Zhou Kui knew that leading troops to fight was not his strength. After receiving the order happily, he also went out to prepare.
After arranging the task for Zhou Kui, Lu Qiang suddenly remembered what Liu Sinu could do. Isn't there a lack of a team of spy around him?
Liu Si's daughter has rich experience in scouting, and people tend to be feminine. It seems appropriate to do this.
After made up his mind, he said to Zhao Lunwen, "There is a very important task for General Zhao"
"Your Excellency, please speak"
"Jiangling will be handed over to you"
"Ah... "Your Excellency?"
Lu Qiang smiled and said, "General Tan and I went to take a moment of Huan Wei's sharpness." He turned our heads and said to Tan Daoji, "General Tan's task is also very difficult. After I returned to the city, I handed over the people who fought guerrillas outside."
Although the division of labor between Tan and Zhao is different, they all show their absolute trust in them.
The generals don't have so many gorgeous words, and the two of them can only bury this deep emotion in their hearts. At the same time, he held his fist and said, "I will live up to the trust of adults"
With the orders issued by the government office, Jiangling City boiled again.
Although the people do not want war, they also do not want Lu Qiang to be destroyed by the Huan family, especially those soldiers who are divided into the land of the Huan family.
Land is just like ** for people in this era. Who wants to take it away and not fight with them?
So after Tao Yuanming told him to post it, there was almost no effort, and many soldiers and people took action one after another to help carry the city's supplies, repair the damaged city walls and so on.
After sending the crowd away, Lu Qiang improved the idea of forming a spy, and then ordered people to go to the school yard of the barracks to call back Liu Si's daughter.
It is a big deal to form a spy, and there must be someone who can be trusted.
