1298: Cutting Huang Song, Dongqing Unification (40)
Luo Yue's eyebrows jumped, and he said with a solemn expression, "Strategist, please tell me in detail." ”
He was really blind.
I thought that Meng Heng was a gentle and generous literati, but I didn't expect that he was so crazy and resolute in his bones.
is really worthy of Meng Zhan's own son, and he is ruthless in the same vein.
"Kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, and all the best will be done!" Meng Heng sneered, Luo Yue looked at it and his heart trembled, "Huang Song's attack on Hu County, isn't it just for the grain after the autumn harvest in February? We can burn it, we can't get it, Huang Song don't think about it!"
Luo Yue's eyelids jumped, and he said sharply, "Burned?"
Burned your own grain?
Lose your marbles?
Meng Heng said, "It's not all burned, it's the fertile land that burns hundreds of miles near the Sanshan Gorge." ”
The grain is burned, what is the point of Huang Song's attack?
Hold Tsukagawa County and cry!
Luo Yue looked at Meng Heng's eyes with horror, his breathing was rapid and heavy, and his eyes were red and bloodshot.
Burning the grain of the nearby hundred miles of fertile fields -
How did he get his hands on it?
In this era when people can give their lives for a mouthful of food, how can he do it?
"If there is no interruption, there will be chaos. Meng Heng said indifferently, "General Luo, make a decision early." ”
Luo Yue squeezed the knife shaft hard, his knuckles turned blue because of the force, and the finger bones almost protruded from the flesh, which showed how fierce the master's inner struggle was. The choice that Meng Heng threw to Luo Yue was too difficult and too difficult, no matter which one he chose, Luo Yue couldn't bear it.
Cheng Yuan on the side held his breath and looked at the two with a complicated expression.
"Really, there is no other way?" Cheng Yuan helped Luo Yue say what he thought.
Meng Heng said, "Huang Song tried his best to attack the Sanshan Valley, and we will hold on for five days at most, which is still the time to block the lives of the soldiers of the whole army." The main public soldiers and horses restrained Huang Song's troops, but Huang Song avoided but did not fight, and forcibly delayed according to the danger of the terrain, and it was not a problem to maneuver for ten days and half a month. At that time, the entire territory of Hujun has already fallen into the hands of Huang Song, this is what you want to see?"
The two choked, and Luo Yue hung his head in pain.
Meng Heng said, "It's not cost-effective to sacrifice hundreds of miles of fertile land in exchange for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and most of Hu County?"
Luo Yue said, "Military Division...... In two months' time, the autumn harvest will be—"
Meng Heng said, "But we are exhausted after five days, where can we delay the autumn harvest?"
From ancient times to the present, the only way to fight a war is to grab other people's land and grain, and where there is anyone who burns their own grain.
Half a day later, Cheng Yuan said, "If the hard work of the people for a year is burned, if it is passed on......"
Meng Heng said, "Is there a ready-made person to carry this black cauldron?"
Luo Yue and Cheng Yuan were both stunned, not knowing who Meng Heng was referring to.
"Someone can defect to Huang Song for the sake of glory and wealth, why doesn't anyone burn the grain and surrender to Huang Song?" Meng Heng said, "Anyway, they are all a group of dying people, and it is not too much to add another crime, so that their deaths are more worthwhile." ”
Both were silent.
What is the reason for arson?
Clear-eyed people know that Huang Song attacked Hu County for food, which evil pen would use arson to burn grain as a vote?
As if seeing the doubts of the two, Meng Heng said, "It's just that the fertile fields near the Sanshan Gorge were burned, and it can be inferred that the burning of the fertile fields was to distract our army and mislead our army to send troops to extinguish the fire, so as to weaken the defensive strength of the Sanshan Canyon - it makes sense." ”
There is no shortage of fallacies and heresies in the world and ordinary people who have been brainwashed by fallacies.
As long as most people believe in drinking, a small number of people will naturally choose to remain silent.
"Has General Luo made a decision?"
Luo Yue's expression was decadent, and his voice was hoarse, "After this battle, I can still pick up a small life, and the last general will personally ask the lord for guilt-"
did not defend the territory that the main bus replaced, but escaped by burning down his own fertile land.
With such an incompetent performance, Luo Yue really wanted to find a crack in the ground and never come out again.
Huang Song's army was menacing, and the troops were very fierce, almost giving people a chance to breathe.
The two armies took the Sanshan Gorge as the boundary, fought from day to night, and the city gate of the pass was broken by a giant tree once, if it was not blocked in time with dozens of knife carts, I am afraid that it would not be able to carry it for a day. Everyone was so panicked that they did not dare to close their eyes at night, for fear that the enemy would take the opportunity to sneak attack.
Luo Yue dispatched thousands of soldiers and horses to disguise themselves as ordinary family guards, and took advantage of the night to find out the three mountains and canyons.
Because of the war, the people nearby have already packed their bags and gone north to avoid trouble, and the fertile land is left unattended, which is convenient for them to move.
Huang Song and the others did not choose to attack at night, but let the army recuperate, because the battle situation during the day determined that the enemy was more nervous than them, and they did not dare to sleep all night. If they don't sleep all night, the enemy's physical condition is naturally inferior to theirs, and they will be able to take advantage the next day.
According to this situation, they will be able to take down the Three Mountains and Gorges in three or four days.
No matter how strong the enemy is, they are still mortal in the flesh, and it is impossible for them to go without sleep for days on end.
In the middle of the night, the back of the three mountains and canyons faintly lit up with orange light.
At first, it was not obvious, and Huang Song and the others didn't care.
As time passed, the orange light gradually spread, rendering the dark canopy orange edges.
An hour or two later, Huang Song was shouted.
"What's going on?"
Huang Song finally fell asleep, and he was sleeping soundly, when he was woken up by the noise outside.
He tightened his bedclothes and raised his hand to rub his sleepy eyebrows.
"Lord, something is wrong, fire!"
Blaze?
What fire?
Huang Song had a stirring spirit in his mind, mistakenly thinking that the enemy was coming to attack and set fire at night, and he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep at all.
He grabbed Yuan Chong's hand and asked, "Where is the fire?"
Yuan Chong couldn't explain clearly, so he pulled Huang Song and ran to the lookout, and the horizon in the direction of the Three Mountains Canyon lit up with a dazzling line of fire!
"W-What is that?"
Huang Song felt like he was dreaming, why was the enemy's rear on fire?
Hara Chong said, "The rear of the enemy is on fire, and I don't know who put it." ”
The two looked at each other.
At this time-
Fire in the rear of the enemy?
Huang Song suddenly had the illusion that he was the chosen one.
He looked at the firelight in the distance and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Huang Song asked, "Where is the location of the fire?"
Yuan Chong said that he was not specific, but could only say an approximate location.
Huang Song's mind flashed, his heart was shocked, and he climbed down the lookout with his hands and feet.
At this time, Cheng Jing and the others also hurried over, and the other party's face was gloomy and frightening.
Everyone proofread the location of the Kunyu map, and was shocked to find that the location of the fire was all good fields!
"Such a big fire may not be extinguished in three or five days-"
They don't know how much of the ripening grain is burned, but they know that this is not what they want to see.
"They're crazy!!"
Huang Song burst out with emotion and waved his hand to overturn the table.
The bamboo slips and documents on the table were scattered all over the ground, and the table fell to the ground with a dull sound.
In the Sanshan Valley, Luo Yue looked at the direction of the fire and wiped his tears.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, he also had to brace his spirits and send people to appease the soldiers, so that the fire would not cause their morale to fall.
