Chapter 112: The Damned Can't Live
Ten days later, Shi Zhuang was summoned to Li Ze's house in Wuyi County.
Since the entire hole card was overturned and revealed to the world, and then annihilated the hundreds of elites sent by Suning, Li Ze moved to this house in Wuyi County. Although Zhuangzi is good, it is still far inferior to the city in terms of ensuring its own safety. Although Mrs. Wang was a little reluctant, she had to comply with her son's wishes. What's more, now she also knows that today is not the past, and I don't know how many people are eyeing her family.
The house in the city is naturally not as quiet as the Zhuangzi in the countryside, and Li Ze has slightly transformed it, so that the front yard and the back yard are more separated. In order to make Mrs. Wang live more comfortably.
Wuyi is not a thoroughfare, it is just a small city in a remote place, and there are only hundreds of households in the entire county. Except for one main street, the rest of the city is scattered and there are large open spaces. Behind Li Ze's house, there is such an open place, Li Ze simply built a military camp on this open land, and now there are 500 soldiers in the secret camp, and people who are not on duty in the house live here.
The whole Wuyi, now there are two armies of 1,000 people each stationed outside the city, and there is a secret camp of 500 people in the city, for this small city, the regular army of 2,500 people seems to be really a bit extravagant, you know, it is Yizhou City, and there are only more than 1,000 soldiers on duty.
The cost of an army of 2,500 people is actually a huge burden for Li Ze now, even if he has accumulated a lot of wealth, and now it is decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye, but now Li Ze can only grit his teeth and persevere. For him, this is an extraordinary stage, and it is also the most dangerous stage for him.
Two thousand five hundred people, who have really formed combat effectiveness, now there is only the secret camp, and the other two thousand people, after these months of training, plus an ambush battle in Daqingshan, is indeed stronger than ordinary government soldiers, but compared with Li Ze's expectations, it is still far away.
The battle in Daqingshan, if it wasn't for the information in advance and the best terrain was chosen in advance to fight an unexpected ambush battle, it is really unknown who killed the deer.
If this battle was fought on the empty plains, Li Ze knew that he would definitely lose.
But even in such an ambush battle, he still lost a lot of people. The battle loss of hundreds of people seems to be a big deal for an army of more than 2,000 people, but when it is Li Ze's turn, it makes him feel distressed.
Regarding such a situation, Shi Zhuang only said that a truly elite army needs not only good equipment, but also continuous tempering in war. Just like those armor soldiers in Chengde, basically everyone is the best and the worst after being honed on the battlefield, even if there is a supplement later, but there are always more veterans than new soldiers, a few lambs sandwiched between a pack of wolves, even if they are docile, they will slowly become aggressive. It is a process of mutual influence and contagion. It's something you can't do in your usual training.
In the words of Shi Zhuang and Tu Lichun, when this army is in the midst of continuous victories, and the battle loss conversion ratio reaches half of the people, it can be called a strong pawn in the world.
These words made Li Ze's teeth sour, and the battle damage was more than half of the people, which means that when there were only 1,000 people left, and he still had to keep winning to achieve his goal.
If he doesn't get out of Wuyi, where will he have so many people to add in? Now this army of 2,000 people is about to empty the entire Wuyi.
Walking into Li Ze's study, to Shi Zhuang's surprise, Tu Lichun was not inside, and only Li Ze was alone in a daze at a map hanging on the wall.
Shi Zhuang knew that Li Ze came to him today, it should be because of the war on the front line, calculate the time, and the first issue of information about Hu Twelve should also be sent back.
Tu Lichun's military literacy is actually quite good, if it is to discuss the military, why is Tu Lichun not there?
Shi Zhuang was a little puzzled.
"You're here!" Li Ze turned his head to look at Shi Zhuang, then turned around and looked at the map: "Come and see, I always feel that this thing is a little weird, but I can't find out what is weird."
Li Ze's military knowledge comes from books, and he naturally understands that this kind of talk on paper is often very different from reality, and Shi Zhuang, this guy, from ordinary conversation and inadvertent knowledge, proves that he is unusual.
Shi Zhuang stood in front of the map.
"This is a comparison chart of the military progress of the two sides on the front line sent by Hu Twelve." Li Ze pointed to the map and said, "The red arrow is the Chengde Zhenwu Henghai Tripartite Alliance, and the green arrow is Lu Longjun. Come and see."
Shi Zhuang was surprised and said, "Hu Twelve is so capable? How can he figure out the confrontation between the two sides so clearly?"
"It's not that he's capable, it's Mr. Gongsun who provided it for him." Li Ze shook his head: "But Hu Twelve is not bad, he has made it clear to the Chengde side of the logistics supply route, the speed of weeding and consumption, and the speed of the army's advance, and compared with the things that Mr. Gongsun brought from them, you can confirm that they are all conclusive."
Shi Zhuang nodded, the little boy was extremely careful, and even Mr. Gongsun kept an eye on it, and confirmed the correctness of some information through some information, which was originally the most common practice.
He carefully examined the direction of the two forces on the map on the wall, nodded and said, "It's a little weird indeed. The speed of the Cheng German army is obviously much faster than the other two."
"The three coalition armies should go hand in hand, echoing each other, now the German army is marching too fast, but it will become a lone army to go deeper, although he has protruded forward only more than fifty miles, but the three are attacking at the same time, and they are already hundreds of miles apart from each other, and this space is a bit big." LI Zedao.
"Where does Mr. Gongsun have anything to say?"
"Where did Mr. Gongsun say it is very clear, Lu Long Shi Yi did not blindly retreat, but Shi Yi is equipped with his main force on the side of the Zhenwu army, it may be because the Zhenwu side is the Jiedu envoy personally went into battle, and Chengde is presided over by Li Che, and the Henghai side is not going all out, only Liu Chenglin led his 1,000 armor soldiers and 5,000 soldiers to attack."
Shi Zhuang sighed: "The three families have their own hearts, which is not surprising, Li Che wants to succeed in a battle to determine his undoubted position in Chengde, with 4,000 armor soldiers and 30,000 soldiers, it is far beyond Shi Yi's strength, and it is expected to advance by leaps and bounds, Shi Yi probably didn't expect Chengde to work so hard."
Li Ze shook his head and said, "The point is not here. I've always been pessimistic about this war, because Lu Long seems to be too distracted about this war. Could it be that in Zhang Zhongwu's heart, these three festival envoys are all paper paste? Shi Zhuang, tell me, in a situation like this, if one of these three families has a problem, what kind of situation will it be?"
Shi Zhuang's body shook slightly, "Are you suspicious of Zhenwu and Henghai?"
"To be precise, I don't believe in Zhenwu right now." Li Zedao: "Henghai seems to be perfunctory, but it makes them seem more credible, but Zhenwu, Jiedu personally leads the army, and the elite are outstanding, and the speed is even slower than Li Che, which can't help but make people suspicious."
Li Ze's hand swiped on the map: "If there is a problem here, Li Che, thousands of elites and 30,000 government soldiers, will have a big problem."
Shi Zhuang obviously didn't think of this possibility, and after a long pause, he nodded and said, "What the son is worried about is indeed reasonable. So what are we going to do now?"
"If such a situation really occurs, a big defeat for Chengde is inevitable." Li Ze groaned: "Henghai may be able to escape."
"So, from the beginning, this could have been a conspiracy against Chengde?" Shi Zhuang looked at the situation on the map, and felt more and more that Li Ze was reasonable. Shi Yi is also a well-known general, so it makes no sense to watch Chengde's main elite go straight to the capital of Yingzhou and ignore it, but instead concentrate on dealing with Zhenwu? Just because Li Che is a fledgling youngster? But Li Che's subordinates are not rookies.
"If Cheng De falls into Zhang Zhongwu's hands, then Lu Long's hand will be deeply embedded. At that time, not to mention that Henghai could not be saved, even Hedong would have to encounter big trouble." Li Zedao." But then we have a chance to make a profit."
"Gongsun Changming will not see this danger?"
"He has a lot of influence on the old man, but about Li Che? I'm afraid it won't work. Even if he sees it and says it, he may not be able to change the general trend, what he may be able to do is to build a barrier in the Deep State just in case." Li Ze paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, and suddenly turned his head to look at Shi Zhuang: "I want you to take Chen Changping, Li Hao, Li Han and others out to see if there is a chance to find them?"
Shi Zhuang's mind felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he instantly understood what Li Ze wanted him to do.
Looking at Shi Zhuang's expression, Li Ze nodded and said, "It's difficult, maybe there is no chance, but if the opportunity comes, I hope you can grasp it."
When Li Ze finished saying this, Shi Zhuang's expression had completely regained his calm, and he looked at Li Ze and said, "Don't worry, son, the damned person can't live, your wish will definitely be fulfilled."
"The damned man is dead, and it's only the first step, hopefully the Deep State can hold on. If the Deep State is broken, the whole of Chengde will be in jeopardy, and we will be in danger. I'm not worried that President Lu Long will go straight in and wipe us out in one fell swoop, I'm more worried that when Chen Bang is summoned, he will have enough reasons to enter the game, and at that time, we will not have the initiative."
"I will write to Gongsun Changming, no matter what he thinks, Shenzhou must be prepared for what happens." Li Ze pondered for a moment, and then said, "I'm going to go to Yizhou."
