1318: Cutting Huang Song, Dongqing Unification (60)
Jing also has this meaning. Cheng Jing said, "My lord, please look here."
Cheng Jing understood Huang Song's plan, it was not a good policy to stick to Zunhe County, and the greatest value of this place was food. Fifty percent of the grain is now harvested, enough for the army to chew for the next few months. I am afraid that this battle will not last long, and there is no point in continuing to harvest the remaining autumn grain.
Huang Song plans to withdraw his troops and leave Zunhe County, and it just so happens that Cheng Jing also has a good place to go.
"Where?" Huang Song's gaze turned to the direction pointed by Cheng Jing's finger, "What is this place?"
Cheng Jing said, "The name here is Changye." ”
"Changye?" Huang Song said in surprise, "It sounds a little familiar, I can't remember where I've seen it." ”
Cheng Jing said, "Changye was once a Hu County during the Great Xia Dynasty, and then there were many strange phenomena, causing the people here to migrate outward, and over time, there was no one here. Dongqing founded the country, and when the state and county were redivided, it was separated from Hu County. ”
According to Cheng Jing, this place is a remote place that everyone avoids.
Huang Song thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't remember where he had heard of this place.
Cheng Jing said again, "The lord has forgotten that Changye was once the place where someone buried his bones. ”
He reminded him like this, and Huang Song immediately remembered what was written in a certain miscellaneous collection, and the first prime minister of the Great Xia Dynasty was buried here.
"What strange things happened in Changye?" asked Huang Song.
Cheng Jing said, "At the end of the Great Xia Dynasty, there was an extremely serious flood in Changye, and the heavy rain poured down for a full month, and the sky was thunder and lightning. When the waterlogging receded, the people found that the tomb near Changye had been dug up, and after some investigation, they learned that it was a thief from other places who heard that there was a prime minister sleeping here, and the thief suspected that the tomb was buried with valuables, so they took advantage of the flooding to go up the mountain to dig the grave. ”
Huang Song naturally knew who the prime minister was, it was the controversial Huangfu Prime Minister.
Cheng Jing continued, "The thieves searched through the prime minister's tomb and did not find any precious burials, and the coffin placed in the center of the tomb was washed out by heavy rain. After the thief left, the coffin was found by a woodcutter. The woodcutter used a wood knife to chop the coffin into firewood and carry it home, and the headless corpse was so violent in the wilderness. Since then, thunderstorms have often occurred in this place of Changye, and the people dare not go out at night. More than one common man said that when they went out in a thunderstorm, they could always see a million-strong army camp outside the town, not only with ghost soldiers and ghost generals, but also with ghost fires burning in the camp tents. ”
The people were afraid that the ghost soldiers would harm people, so they moved away from Changye one after another.
Over time, Changye has become a land of no one.
Huang Song sneered, "Isn't this a ghost story?"
He...... I'm a little scared of ghosts......
Cheng Jing said, "It's indeed a story. ”
Whoever asked Huang Song to ask him where Changye was, Cheng Jing didn't just move out of the story.
Huang Song: "......"
It's scary in broad daylight!
Huang Song took a closer look at the terrain of Changye and had to admit that Cheng Jing's choice was right.
But
Huang Song laughed and said, "What if I confront Lan Ting, and the ghost soldiers also jump out and intervene?"
Cheng Jing glanced at his father-in-law, as if looking at a staff, this is the problem that should be concerned now?
It turns out that the ghost story is a story after all, and Changye will become desolate because there was a plague outbreak here.
The source of the plague was that the flood washed a large number of floating corpses from other places to Changye, and the corpse water polluted the water source here, causing the people to fall ill.
Most of the people died of illness, and the remaining half moved away.
Huang Song and Cheng Jing reached a consensus, but they were strongly opposed by others under their accounts.
Hara Nobunagakohara was one of the representatives of the most fierce opposition.
"My lord, why do you want to withdraw your troops and retreat to Changye? That place is too open, and it is not conducive to our army's battle. ”
I really don't understand the original situation, what's wrong with staying in Tsukagawa County, but there is still plenty of food. What did you have to go to Changye? There is no terrain to rely on, how can you fight a war? Because Huang Song punished the original situation, the status of the original situation is not as good as before, and his personality is not delicate, but he is just a bird pushed out by others, and his purpose is to bear Huang Song's anger and test Huang Song's tone by the way.
Huang Song glanced at the original situation, but did not speak, but Cheng Jing patiently explained, not knowing whether to tell the original situation or explain it to others.
Cheng Jing said, "Tsukahe County is not an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, and Liuxi has sufficient troops, so if we adopt the strategy of siege and cut off our food and water, how will we deal with it? Second, Liu Xi's troops were divided into two routes, flanking left and right, and dealing with them at the same time, and it was still us who lost a long time. Rather than falling deeper and deeper into this predicament, it is better to break free as soon as possible and leave it to die and come back to life. ”
If Huang Song wants to live in Zunhe County, it is more convenient to go back to Haozhou.
Huang Song's purpose is to face off against each other and decide the winner at one time, and Changye is a good place to fight.
You don't have much to take advantage of, and neither does your enemy.
In real comparison, the battle of Changye was even more at a loss for Jiang Ji.
Huang Song received the autumn grain from Tsukahe County, so he didn't have the grain line to drag him down, and Jiang Ji had to spare extra effort to protect the grain line.
The original character follows the deceased father Yuan Xin, but he does not have the qualifications of Yuan Xin, so he is not qualified to rely on the old and sell the old.
What Huang Song decides, as long as there is no problem with the general principles, he will not change it because of the opposition of others.
The original situation was dissatisfied in his heart, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he could only forcibly endure the anger.
Everyone also saw Huang Song's determination and had to agree.
At this time, someone asked, "The autumn harvest is not over yet, what should be done with the grain in the field?"
Keep it for the enemy to collect?
Huang Song said indifferently, "Set it on fire and burn it." ”
What you don't have, others can't have.
That night, a fire broke out in the territory of Tsukagawa County, and the fire was fierce and terrifying.
Jiang Ji was shouted, she was wearing a bedgown, and she was wearing a wide coat outside.
"Tsukagawa County is running out of water, what's going on?"
She glanced in the direction of Tsukagawa County, and the fire was all over the sky, staining the pitch-black sky red, and the color was between red and orange.
The crowd didn't know.
Jiang Ji smiled, "Could it be that Luo Yue and the others finally found an opportunity to burn Bogao's precious autumn grain?"
In this regard, Luo Yue also expressed confusion.
This fire is so similar to the one in the Three Mountains Gorge, the tongue of fire seems to burn everything.
"Who set this fire?"
Luo Yue said that it wasn't him anyway.
Huang Song's army took advantage of the fire to attract the enemy's attention and retreated safely.
However, they didn't stay comfortable for long, and Jiang Ji reacted after just half a day.
Jiang Ji was surprised, "Bogao has withdrawn his troops, but this direction is not like withdrawing to Haozhou or Hejian County."
Wei Ci said, "This direction...... It's Changye!"
Jiang Ji looked in the direction Wei Ci pointed, and it was clear at a glance on the sand table.
She instantly understood Huang Song's intentions.
"In that case, it will be as he wishes. ”
