Chapter 32 Attack on Lou County 3

This time, our army quickly captured Lou County with 500 people after the defeat of Shanghai blasphemy, which was obviously beyond Sun En's expectation.

Sun En's army is stationed in Hudu, and the navy is stationed at the entrance of the river. There seems to be no action for a while. There are many wounded soldiers in Lou County, and they are still in the process of recuperation, so we are even more likely to make further moves.

The thief army is motionless. In addition to waiting for further orders from Liu Laozhi, I also consider the issue of raising soldiers and governing the army. It is not easy to recruit troops in Lou County, and we need the assistance of the surrounding counties. In addition, the wounded soldiers should also heal well.

Li Xu is very busy these days, but he has to take time to report to me on the injury every day.

"Liu Sima, the soldiers' injuries have been controlled. It's just that I think that some seriously injured people should not stay in Lou County. Li Xu suggested to me.

"It's difficult for the seriously injured to move. What if they don't stay in the city?"

"It's really inconvenient to move, but I think it's better to go somewhere else than to be in a dangerous city. One is good for recuperation, and the other is to avoid affecting the heart of the army.

"You mean the one who can't be cured?"

Li Xu nodded.

Several seriously injured people have not been cured in the past few days. The bitter cry in the pain and the wailing after the death of the disease did have a negative impact on the military heart of the city. I believe that Li Xu is not unwary, but no matter how good his medical skills are, some things are irresistible. I very much agree with his suggestion.

"How many seriously injured people can be transferred?"

"About 50 people."

"In addition to the escort, I'm afraid 200 people need to be transferred."

"One hundred people will be enough to transport these people."

I said, "We still need to add a hundred guards."

"Oh, in that case, it does take 200 people."

I lowered my head and didn't say anything. Where did I come from to send 50 wounded people out of the city? All the soldiers defending the city and these wounded are only 300.

Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Li Xu knew that there was no possibility of implementing this proposal. So he muttered, "It seems that the status quo can only be maintained."

"No, let's send them out of the city as you said."

"But the garrison of Lou County..."

"I have to ask Lord Bao to send troops again. Liu Zhong! Arrange for a messenger to go to sea salt!"

......

While we did nothing in Lou County, the State of Qin in the north fell into turmoil like our State of Jin.

Qin occupies most of the territory of the Central Plains and is actually the most powerful country in the north. However, it is precisely because he occupies the best territory and has the largest number of people that the army and people of Qin have gradually lost their aggressiveness.

Once the nobles of the State of Qin, who came from the barbarians, obtained a high position and wealth, they only stimulated more ambitious greed. This led to the continuous power struggle and civil strife in the State of Qin. At the same time, the feudal officials are constantly enriching their power. When they found that the Qin Lord could no longer restrain their development at the local level, these feudal officials simply established themselves as kings and khans and opened up small court independent of the State of Qin.

A general named Juqu Mengxun appeared in the west of Qin. He killed the old master Duan Ye, who tried to fight internally because of suspicion, and called himself the governor and the pastor of Beiliangzhou. On the surface, it is subordinate to the State of Qin, but in fact it is a completely independent kingdom.

When the State of Jin unified the world, Beihu, Nanman, Dongyi and Xirong surrendered to the Holy Dynasty one after another. When I thought that the country of great governance could be passed down to all generations and enjoy the world safely, it was those Hu Lu who integrated into the Central Plains and lived in Chang'an and Luoyang took the lead in the trouble. In an hour, he subverted the Holy Dynasty and created a new regime established by the ancestors of the Xiongnu and Xianbei.

Now the State of Qin has also encountered the problems encountered by the State of Jin. Among many local forces, Duan Ye and Juqu Mengson are just one of them.

Although the State of Qin intends to march to the west and subdue Mengxun, after all, the strong enemy is surrounded, and the army cannot leave the capital and important pass lightly. Therefore, after several battles with Monson, he could not be annihilated, so he had to retreat.

......

In the past few months, he has gone through countless defensive battles, siege battles and field battles, constantly fighting with the enemy. However, in this extremely dangerous little Lou County, we have enjoyed rare peace.

We confronted the thief soldiers in such a ridiculous way.

Maybe it's just ourselves that is ridiculous. While the number of defenders in Lou County remained unchanged, the thief soldiers recruited by Sun Enxin continued to enter Ludu every day.

For several days in a row, he received war reports from Bao Hu from Haiyan, saying that warships kept passing through the sea of Haiyan to Ludu. Although there is no movement of the thief soldiers outside the city, I know that Lu's troops can no longer be underestimated.

At present, we are trapped in Lou County just like Sun En was trapped in Wu County at that time. We only know that the thief soldiers gathered in Ludu on a large scale, but we don't know where the thief soldiers will attack first.

Just as we were at a loss, Sun En had quietly built countless warships. And when we knew these military conditions, these warships had appeared in front of us and sailed on the water.

I know that since Sun En has transferred many ships from the sea, he will definitely go up the river. Therefore, he wrote to Liu Prison and the generals of Jingkou respectively, asking him to defend and Liu Laozhi to go north for reinforcements.

But when I learned from the spies that the number of blaspicious thieves was decreasing, and countless tall ships and strong warships were starting from Shanghai to enter the river, I knew that even if my letter reached the hands of Liu Jaozhi and Jingkou guards, they would not have time to dispatch troops to welcome the thieves.

Although the thief soldiers still left tens of thousands of people in Shanghai to attack Wu County by land through Lou County, I think that compared with Baowu County, Baojingkou and Jiankang are the top priority.

After sending the wounded soldiers from Lou County to Haiyan, I had to send a messenger to Haiyan again and ask Bao to send hundreds of reinforcements to defend Lou County. At the same time, I carefully laid down suspects inside and outside Lou County. As soon as Haiyan's reinforcements arrived, I couldn't wait to take advantage of the night and quietly take Yu Qiujin and other 200 people to go north.

When passing through Wujun, I received an emergency* from the internal history of Wu, who replaced Yuan Shansong's new appointment. * The seal is stamped with the seal of the prefectures and counties and leading generals from Jiankang to Wu County. It can be seen that the military situation is not small!

Qi Kai* knew that just when we did nothing in Lou County, Sun En's action to go up the river began a few days ago. After the defenders along the river were attacked, they sent war reports to Jiankang for reinforcements. After receiving several war reports in a row, Jiankang realized the urgency of the matter, so he ordered local officials along the way to recruit new soldiers to defend the city and Jiangjin Pass, and ordered the garrison from all over the country to go to Beijing.

This is the first time since I received a court* with the name "Liu Yu" written on it. A hot current suddenly surged all over his body. I asked the recording officer to get my seal, stamp it on this *, and then ask the messenger to send it to the south quickly.

Although our operation was a few days later than Sun En, Sun En was attacked along the way, and the speed of sailing on the waterway was not as fast as we walked on land, so we almost followed Sun En to Dantu.

Last summer, Liu Jaozhi transferred 10,000 people from Beijing to defend Wu County. Now that Sun En directly attacks Dantu County, the gateway to Jingkou, Dantu's garrison must not be enough.
