Chapter 406: Four Ways
On the third day of Sima Xin's occupation of Luo County, a baggage team composed of civilian convoys crossed Yunmengze and transported a large number of supplies to Luo County.
The convoy transported all-encompassing materials, even the girls could see in the procession, and the civilian convoy that did not belong to the official was actually the military traders, and the history of their entry into the war zone with the army can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou wars, in order to seek wealth and danger.
In the world, it is not uncommon for caravans to go on expeditions with their armies, and many times the caravans are not fixed in which camp they will stay in, maybe one moment the caravan will do business in the Qin army, and the next moment the caravan will run to the side of the Zhao army.
Such caravans are prone to leaking military secrets? It is not at all false that the merchants have no discipline, but in the past history, there have been almost no cases of military secrets being leaked by military traders, because not all traders can follow the army, and the traders who can follow the army are traded in various countries, and they will not smash their jobs.
The military merchants who came to Luo County were not like that, they were all caravans such as gentry and clans under the rule of Lu Zhe, and they were fundamentally different from the military merchants of the previous countries.
There is a so-called chamber of commerce under Lu Zhe, and only registered caravans can follow the army, and it is a common sense for Lu Zhe to encourage them to join the army, and he is more forced by Xiao He.
The civil affairs of the five counties require a lot of labor, and Xiao He has repeatedly stated that the recruitment of people will affect the development or restoration of the people's livelihood in each county, so Lu Zhe can only find another way to find the gentry and clans under his rule to communicate. The so-called Chamber of Commerce was then established.
These chambers of commerce will receive tasks from the government, accumulate so-called points, and then exchange the points for what they want. The things that the government provides for points to exchange for huàn are not so rich for the time being, but regarding the share of clothing of the army and the procurement of military weapons, the benefits of all kinds of things add up are unimaginable, and it is strange that the gentry and clans are not moved.
Luo County wantonly got supplies, and this kind of news couldn't be concealed at all, so Yi called Song to find Kaimingsen and Su Wuzhu again.
This time, Baiyue's triumvirate meeting didn't say much, and at the beginning, it was clear that it was necessary to eliminate Sima Xin's department in Luo County. The doubts are about how many troops should be gathered. At the same time, there was no sign of Lu Zhe in Nanjun assembling troops to the south.
There has always been a movement of troops in Nanjun, but the information that Bai Yue got in Nanjun was that the troops heading to Nanling from all over the country were being reorganized, and the troops that formed the army were in addition to Sima Xin's 50,000 people. Almost all of the rest were transferred to Lujiang County.
Lujiang County? According to the understanding of the translator. Lü Zhe transferred the army to Lujiang and handed it over to the man named Ji Bu in order to launch a national war against the state of Chu again. But. Lujiang also seems to have a border with Changsha County?
Yi Hu Song's hesitation became more and more serious, he was very worried that Sima Xin in Luo County was a trap, waiting for them to gather their forces to attack. Lu Zhe's troops on the side of Lujiang County outflanked the back road in a roundabout way, which would definitely cause a disaster for Baiyue.
"In each war between the Chinese and us, we must be at least five times as numerous as the Chinese in each battle to have a chance of victory. There is a city in Luo County, and the Chinese people are good at defending it, which is supported by the experience they have summed up in hundreds of years of civil war. According to me, we will simply find a way to attract Sima Xin out of Luo County and rely on the city defense of Linxiang to fight Sima Xin. "It seems that the faith is not so sufficient.
Of course, Yihu Song also wanted to rely on the city defense of Linxiang to fight with people, but Sima Xin showed no signs of continuing to go south, and now it was they who wanted to pull out the nails, not fight a defensive war.
"What else are you talking about? Directly concentrate people, and take advantage of the fact that Qin will not gain a firm foothold and fight directly over. The longer this kind of thing drags on, the worse it seems to be for us. Kai Mingsen didn't know what meat he was eating, the meat on the plate had already been added three times.
Nanyue has a habit of eating people, and Song and Wu Zhu watched Kaimingsen eat meat so disgustingly, and their eyes tried not to look at Kaimingsen's chewing mouth.
"We're out of 50,000 people." Kaimingsen opened his mouth full of flesh a little mischievously, and squirted out quite a bit as he spoke.
50,000? There should be about 80,000 South Vietnamese people entering Changsha County, and to be honest, 50,000 is already the limit of the number of weapons that South Vietnam can handle.
Su Wuzhu was really disgusting, he was not sprayed by the flesh, but he subconsciously leaned back and leaned back: "There are 50,000 people from Minyue." ”
The translator Song wanted to speak and stopped, he still hadn't figured out whether Sima Xin was really sent to die, or if Lu Zhe was engaged in some conspiracy.
To be honest, it is very undesirable to launch an attack when the enemy's intentions are unclear, and it is easy to be deceived, which is why every time you use troops, you need to guess the enemy's intentions first, and then fight according to what the enemy says they want to achieve.
"One hundred thousand?" Yihu Song knew the meaning of Kaimingsen and Su Wuzhu, and the rest of the people should be made up by Ou Yue.
Ouyue's entry into Changsha County is the largest among the Baiyue tribes, close to the number of 200,000, and some of the elite areas of Changsha County are basically occupied by Ouyue, so it is reasonable to take out 100,000 people to participate in the joint attack.
"It will take about a month to mobilize manpower, and in another two months, winter will pass, so it will be set to start in a month and a half, and launch an attack on Luo County on the first day of spring?" Translation called on Song to delay, he had already sent someone to investigate the movements of Lu Zhe's army in Lujiang County, if Ji Buzhen led the army to attack the Chu State, he would have nothing to hesitate, and when the time came, he would try his best to eliminate Sima Xin's troops.
Just when they felt that the discussion was appropriate, there was news sent from Nanjun, Lu Zhe took the stage again to pay respects to the general, and a person named Gongwei became a general in the north, and the 50,000 people who had completed the reorganization of Nanling City were taken to the north.
"It seems...... Lu Zhe really has no sign of sending additional troops to the south, so our actions should be changed again, not waiting for the beginning of spring, but sending troops to attack Sima Xin as much as possible. "驺 no such as this built yì.
As soon as Su Wuzhu's words fell, the translator called on the people sent by Song to pay attention to Lujiang County in advance also returned, bringing Ji Bu Guozhen to lead the army into Huizhang County, and did not find that Lu Zhe's army was approaching Changsha from Lujiang County.
"There's nothing to think about, hurry up and gather the scattered people, and then press it up to wipe out Sima Xin in Luo County." Kai Mingsen felt that these two allies were procrastinating too much, how could they have so many concerns, and after thinking about it, they didn't have to rely on the sword to speak.
Lu Zhe did not assemble an army as a follow-up force to the south, and Ji Bu on the other side of Lujiang County also really attacked the Chu State.
Baiyue mobilized troops on a large scale, and Sima Xin in Luo County did not feel nervous but happy.
Sima Xin said to Wu Rui: "Now wait for Li Shiqi to say how many families can move, and wait for Uncle Sun Tong to arrive in Wu County, and then Luo Shao will go straight to the rear of Changsha County from the army of Ba County through Cangwu County, there is nothing to think about in this war, and the victory is decided." As long as we stick to Luo County for a month, then none of these Baiyue people will want to run away. ”
Wu Rui didn't speak, he had been busy gathering the old ministry in the past few days, but there were not many old departments contacted, and even if he contacted those people, he didn't seem to want to return to his command again, which made him very devastated.
"Still worried about those things?" Sima Xin looked at the haggard Wu Rui and was very sympathetic.
Changsha County fell, Changsha people suffered a lot at the hands of Baiyue people, these are things that no one wants to see, Wu Rui, as the original lord of Changsha County, is even more reluctant to see, but things have happened.
The people of Changsha, who did not fall and fell, treated Wu Rui at two extremes, from extreme love to extreme resentment, believing that Changsha County was caused by Wu Rui today, Wu Rui was greatly hit because of this, and became haggard and decadent.
Lu Zhe asked Wu Rui to come to Changsha County in order to win people's hearts, and then because of the difference between before and after, the role that Wu Rui could show was obviously minimized, but it was precisely because of this that Sima Xin dared to let Wu Rui know more combat deployments.
Understanding Lu Zhe's layout of Changsha County, Wu Rui understood what the gap was, after Lu Zhe's series of actions, Changsha people should be grateful to Lu Zhe, after all, if the layout is really successful, the Baiyue people are likely to be wiped out in Changsha, which is equivalent to avenging the blood revenge for the Changsha people.
"The Lord has not gathered new troops to go south, and the intelligence system of the Baiyue people will report this to the chiefs. The direction of Lujiang County, which Baiyue people are concerned about, also shows no signs of approaching Changsha County. In this way, the generals of Yihu Song, Kaimingsen, and Su Wuzhu will no longer hesitate, but concentrate on killing Lailuo County. Sima Xin pointed to the mountains and rivers: "As long as the Baiyue people pull the troops across the line of Xiangshui, it will be difficult for them to go back at that time." ”
Wu Rui still didn't speak, it was the first time he had seen such a complex deployment, the whole set of battle plans was very huge, including the deception of intelligence, the long-distance detours of the large corps, and even the transfer of the naval army, such a campaign was not only never encountered by the Baiyue people, in fact, even the Central Plains countries had never fought such a complex battle.
"As soon as there is movement on Lishiqi's side, we should defend and attack, and then General Ji Bu in the direction of the Lujiang River will also withdraw from Huizhang County and attack the nest of the Minyue people from the Lujiang River." Sima Xin's hand clenched into a fist: "The three-way army, together with 200,000 troops, will not only recover Changsha County, but we will also drive the army into Baiyue's territory for the first time, forcing them to move in the direction of Lingnan." ”
"Minzhong County, Nanhai County, are these the names that the Lord has chosen for the newly occupied land?" Wu Rui finally spoke.
"Originally, I wanted to call it Fujian County and Guangdong County, but I didn't know what happened later, so the lord changed the name again." Sima Xin moved his hand to the area of Lingnan: "If we take Lingnan in the future, we will also divide it into three counties." ”
Wu Rui saw it, and the hanging map of mountains and rivers had already marked their names, they were called Xiang County, Guilin County, and Yelang County. (To be continued......)
