The atmosphere in Baoqing became more and more tense. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info from the Shuntian army from Shangqinglin cross-border harassment more and more, after the Shuntian army retreated to Baoqing, the Chu people who controlled Baoqing demarcated the territory of the Shuntian army, hundreds of thousands of Shuntian soldiers and civilians can move freely, there are only two places in Shangqinglin and Xiaqinglin, and the only plain area in Baoqing, the Chu people are not allowed to set foot in.

The Chu people are not as good as the Shuntian army, they have rich experience in governance, and after establishing a foothold in Baoqing, they decided to build it as a bridgehead and base for the second battlefield, and create a solid territory for future alignment operations. To do this, of course, they can't rely on support materials from the sea forever, they have to find a way to solve part of the supply by themselves, then, building Baoqing is also one of the urgent tasks on the table.

In this plain area, of course, the Chu people will not allow the Shuntian army to get involved.

But as the New Year draws closer, the confrontation between the two sides has become stronger. The Chu people do have grain, but this grain comes from the distant Chu country, and it was the Chu people who worked hard to break through the sea raids of the Qi people, and finally transported it, when the Shuntian army was their right-hand man, of course they were generous. But now, the Suncheon Army has lost its use value and has become a dying zombie snake, and it is not worth it to give them a large amount of food.

The calculation of the Chu people is that food still has to be given, but it can only ensure that they are not starved to death in large quantities, and the consequence of the lack of food is that the army is unstable, the army is scattered, and there will be more and more people fleeing from the Shuntian army.

And the constant food is not to provoke a fierce reaction from the Shuntian army. This is a process of boiling frogs in warm water, squeezing the Shuntian army little by little, little by little, and finally achieving the goal of self-defeat without a fight.

Under the current situation, Cheng Wuben is eighty or ninety percent sure that he will reach an agreement with the Taiping Army, so that the two sides will not be in a state of confrontation with the enemy, and a tacit cooperation will be obtained, and the one between them is Mo Luo. If Moluo is not eliminated, it will be impossible for the Taiping army to truly cooperate with the Chu people.

Fundamentally speaking, there is nothing wrong with this strategy, but whether it is Cheng Wuben or Jiang Tao, Yang or Ma Xiangnan, they all ignore the most fundamental point, that is, Mo Luo is a crazy guy, and when they guess Mo Luo with common sense, they are already wrong from the root.

Mo Luo was not stupid, he guessed the general thoughts of the Chu people. After deciding to turn his face, he immediately adopted a sinister plan, hiding a part of the limited amount of grain that the Chu people had brought and barely enough to survive without permission, but claiming to the outside world that the Chu people had only brought so much grain.

Ascend to Mien, fight Mi Qiu!

The hungry Shuntian army began spontaneous cross-border harassment and robbery, and most of these small-scale, unsystematic, and unplanned random attacks and robberies ended in failure, and these people who were caught by the Chu army naturally ended up in two cuts. And a small number of successful people are also full of money.

The dead will cause hatred and antagonism, and the winner will make the eyes of those who are watching jealous.

The seeds of hatred between the two sides are getting deeper and deeper, and in the sky of Baoqing, a storm has begun to brew, and Mo Luo, who planned all this, is constantly fueling it, pushing this incident to a climax more and more.

Hungry people need food, angry emotions need to be vented, and now Moro has nothing, but he has countless hungry and angry people.

Now, all he needed to do was throw a little fire into this volcano of anger, and it would inevitably turn into a flood of angry flames, burning away all obstacles that stood in his way.

Just like he did two years ago.

"General Jiang, the situation is very wrong now!" Ma Xiangnan was worried, Cheng Wuben left Baoqing and went to Taiping City, and he couldn't come back for a while. But now the antagonistic emotions between the Baoqing army and the Suncheon army have shown signs of getting out of control.

Since Cheng Wuben arrived in Baoqing, the pressure on Jiang Tao has been greatly reduced, and the shadow of the Chu army's defeat in the last battle with the Taiping Army has also been swept away because of the arrival of the old marshal, these soldiers all belong to the eastern border army of Chu State, and they are Cheng Wuben's old subordinates, and they naturally firmly believe that the arrival of the old marshal will inevitably resolve their current predicament. Even Jiang Tao felt that the pressure on his body had been greatly reduced, and he had begun to slowly recover his original demeanor.

Listening to Ma Xiangnan's words, Jiang Tao didn't care: "Mo Luo probably wants to take a risk, I think he has already judged that we are ready to give up his plan." ”

Ma Xiangnan was shocked when he heard this: "If Mo Luo turns his face and fights, it will be bad." ”

"There's nothing to worry about." Jiang Tao laughed: "For this point, Cheng Shuai has long expected that during this period of time, our troop deployment has been completed, and the main force has been guarding against this. Mo Luo has lost its use value, and to unite with the Taiping Army, solving Mo Luo is one of the inevitable conditions, this battle will be fought sooner or later, although it is better to fight late than early, but since Mo Luo wants to do it now, it is not a big deal. ”

"There are more than 100,000 of them!" Ma Xiangnan stroked his beard, thinking about the comparison of the forces of the two sides, and a sense of worry arose.

"It's just a rabble." Jiang Tao smiled indifferently: "Ma Gong, don't forget, when the Mo Luo soldiers were strong and strong, they confronted the Taiping Army in Qianliu Mountain, and there was no way to take Qin Feng, and now our troops are much stronger than Qin Feng in Qianliu Mountain at that time, and our soldiers' combat power is not inferior to the Taiping Army or even exceeded, what do you have to worry about." ”

After a pause, he continued, "It's better for Moro to do it first, and we save ourselves the moral trouble. If you're going to find your own death, then it's no wonder we're going to blame. ”

"Will the Taiping army over there in Baoxing take advantage of the fire to rob?" Ma Xiangnan asked.

Jiang Tao smiled and said: "When Cheng Shuai left, he had already secretly withdrawn the thousand people over there, and now the form between us and the Taiping Army is very delicate, and they will not make a move at this time." ”

"Then I'm relieved." Seeing that above the military, Jiang Tao had already made all the preparations, Ma Xiangnan was relieved, and now Baoqing has 5,000 well-equipped soldiers with extremely rich combat experience, this is the greatest confidence of the Chu army, and the battle of the Shuntian army in Qianliu Mountain also made the Chu army find out the details of the Shuntian army, Jiang Tao did not care very much about Moluo's possible counterattack.

He was ready for everything to be met by Mo Luo, who would show him why the Eastern Frontier was called an iron wall by the powerful Qi army.

According to Jiang Tao's estimates, the ability of the Shuntian army to continue to attack can last for a day at most, and within a day, if they can't defeat the Chu army, they will collapse themselves, because after a day, they will not have any more supplies.

"Ma Gong, for a period of time, don't go back to Baoqing City, just stay in the port area, we don't have enough troops to deploy in Baoqing City, we just need to firmly hold Baoqing Port." Jiang Tao said.

"Okay! I'll stay in Baoqing Harbor, and after the stumbling block of Mo Luo is removed, Baoqing's affairs will be easy to handle. Ma nodded to the south.

"Solve Moluo, but there are still so many homeless people in Baoqing, I am only good at fighting, and everything after the war depends on Ma Gong." Jiang Tao said with a smile.

"That's my specialty!" Ma Xiangnan had stayed in the local area for a long time, "I survived this winter, and in the spring of next year, I began to organize spring ploughing, and strive to be able to solve part of the grain and grass problem by myself, which has been transported by long-distance domestic travel, the cost is too great, and there are too many unpredictable factors." ”

Shangqinglin, as soon as he went out, it was more than ten days for Mo Luo, and finally returned to his tiled house, the house that had been broken down half of the wall had been repaired, and the generals of the Shuntian Army gathered here again, and this time, Mo Luo's depression and anger had disappeared, and he was replaced by confidence.

"King, fire, we have already burned." Bao Hua said excitedly: "Now our hundreds of thousands of troops are all screaming to fight the trouble of the Chu army, as long as you give an order." ”

Mo Luo laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, hold them a little longer, and make the fire burn more vigorously." Hunger and fear are now our greatest strength. This time, we won on a solid footing. ”

Looking at the people in the room, he smiled and said, "Let me tell you a good news first, this time I went out and found Wu Ling, and he has agreed to cooperate with us." ”

"Wu Ling?" Everyone in the room was surprised: "He's still alive?" ”

"Although he is still alive, he is worse than us." Moro smiled, "So, he wants to get out of the current predicament even more strongly than we do. But this is not the best news I got from this trip, the other thing is related to our future way out. ”

Staring at everyone's expectant eyes, Mo Luo said word by word: "Luo Yishui is still alive, and he has already made up his mind to oppose the Yue Dynasty." I also went to Zhengyang County this time and found a secret line of the Luo family in the past, and I learned from him that Luo Yishui had indeed gone to look for him, and they were ready to start an incident. ”

Clarifying this one thing is the biggest gain of Mo Luo going out this time. When he rescued Luo Yishui, he expected Luo Yishui to lead the army against the Yue Dynasty, but at that time, Luo Yishui was poured into his head by paste and left alone, giving up a great opportunity in vain. Two years have passed since going around and around, and Luo Yishui is still on the path he hoped for. Luo Yishui is not his Mo Luo, as long as he is determined to oppose the Yue Dynasty, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the Yue Kingdom, as long as he Mo Luo rushes out of Baoqing, he will be able to echo Luo Yishui at that time.
