Chapter 407: The Villain
In fact, according to Lu Zhe's idea, he really wanted to change all the place names to modern names, because there were also names such as Fujian and Guangdong. Later, he found that it was more unrealistic, if it was redivided according to the modern provinces, it would be an unimaginably vast project, and at the same time, having the administrative unit of the province was not in line with the current function, perhaps the state of the Han Dynasty was more in line with the reality than the province.
Sending troops south, since they have already sent troops, Lu Zhe's goal has been expanded accordingly, and the recovery of Changsha County is only the first step, and then it will force Baiyue to move further southwest.
Now in the southeast and due south, Ouyue, Nanyue, Minyue, almost all the young Zhuang of the three tribal alliances have entered Changsha County, so as long as the limited Qingzhuang of Baiyue can be annihilated in Changsha County, Lu Zhe will hardly encounter any too decent resistance when bulldozing the territory of due south and southeast, and the difficulty of completing the occupation will be limited by the terrain and weather, and the enemy will not have too much threat.
The mobilization of 200,000 troops during the reorganization of the army actually had a certain impact on the large reorganization, but considering that in the first battle of Changsha, the Luo Shao department that was responsible for outflanking the Baiyue people would be the Luo Shao department who returned to the army from Ba County and the three clans who might come closer, and there was also the Ji Bu department in the later period, and the main battlefield on the front was also the Sima Xin department that had been reorganized, and the impact on the reorganization was not fatal.
Why is there an overhaul? In fact, it is because there are too many troops, to the point where it is impossible to reorganize.
After almost a month of rectification, LΓΌ Zhe successively established the Southern Army and the Northern Army, and the 100,000 reorganized soldiers were also divided in half into the hands of Sima Xin and Gongwei. And the army led by Ji Bu actually did not have the number of the legion. The 30,000 soldiers in this unit were actually the ones that originally stayed in Fanyang, and the remaining 100,000 Tuntian soldiers were non-main combat troops allocated during the reorganization.
Lu Zhe will not distribute the numbers of all the legions so soon, and the number of the Eastern Legion will not appear until the Battle of Changsha is over and Ji Bu himself returns to Nanling City to receive the main battle troops to form a corps system.
The army that is now being reorganized in Nanling is basically within the five counties, with a total number of 400,000, such as Luo Shao's expeditionary force in Ba County, which is not counted at all.
The composition of Luo Shao's army was so complicated that Lu Zhe found it strange, Lu Zhe originally gave Luo Shao 60,000 manpower, but after stabilizing Cangwu County, the army swelled to 160,000, and the total number of troops increased to 230,000 after going to Ba County.
This phenomenon is not the only one, as if Lu Zhe's original total strength was only 230,000. But he finished the battle with the Chu State. The number of troops under his command unknowingly reached more than 500,000.
Whether it is coercion, or there are constantly people taking refuge in the battle, the number of the army is swelling and it is not possible to control the army, but after Luo Shao received the order to return to the army and detour to Changsha County. He led a 150,000-strong army composed of Chinese, Baiyue, and Ba people through Cangwu County. It is expected to arrive in Qianzhong, the capital of Cangwu County, within half a month. There to receive a batch of supplies and take a short rest should be interspersed with detours.
After walking around Cangwu County and staying in Ba County for two months, a force of more than 200,000 people was pulled up? Actually, this is not surprising. It's not that Luo Shao has much ability, there are too many factors in it.
The rise of Lu Zhe has been unstoppable, as long as the situation in the south is understood, no one will deny it, and the so-called general trend is formed here, and the word "trend" is often added after the general trend, which together is the general trend.
In the environment of the general trend, as long as there is enough food, it is never difficult to form a large team, when Wu Rui has a trend of unifying Changsha County, Changsha people are willing to follow, Chen Sheng can gather more than 100,000 people in an instant when Guangyang County becomes a trend, the former Zhou Wen, Huan Chu, Deng Zong...... It's better than that.
The general trend is divided into many kinds, and the rapid restoration of the countries is also a kind of general trend, as long as the momentum can always happen something that is incomprehensible, many people call it a miracle, but in fact, it is just a kind of trend in the hearts of the people.
Li Shiqi went to Huang's territory, how did Huang receive Li Shiqi?
These descendants of Chunshenjun Huang Xie, they asked Li Shiqi about his intentions, and Li Shiqi didn't say any nonsense, and replied directly, "My lord has sent a large army to attack Nanjun." The Huang family immediately made a good choice, and then there was no need to worry about contacting the Lian family and the Ning family.
Waiting for the heads of the three clans to go together, Li Shiqi didn't need too much nonsense, and asked directly: "My lord sent troops to recover Changsha County, are you waiting for the battle or surrender?" β
The three clans, who had prepared a lot of words and wanted to form a separation, or wanted to maintain the status quo, were dumbfounded for a while.
It is the recovery of the entire Changsha County, which means that the territory of the three clans will also be under the direct control of Lu Zhe, they have already experienced the alliance with Baiyue, and the facts have shown that in the case of unequal strength, what to divide the territory and so on.
Lian's has elephant soldiers, and he can speak with a stiffer waist: "We understand your intention to come over, but Lu Hou only sent 50,000 troops, and there are nearly 500,000 Baiyue people in Changsha County, can you achieve the so-called recovery of Changsha County?" In the war to recover Changsha County, Lu Hou sent you here, presumably we are useful to Lu Hou, so why do we send troops to help Lu Hou recover Changsha and get no benefits? β
Li Shiqi smiled: "Originally, it was the alliance between the four clans and Baiyue, and the coalition army defeated Wu Rui to steal Changsha, can the benefits promised to you be realized?" Not only did it not materialize, but the Yang clan ended up with all the clans wiped out. My lord did not send troops to Changsha, and the next step is to swallow or destroy the three clans, which is the biggest benefit you get. β
The head of the Lian family was not bluffed, and the other two clans couldn't say clearly, but the Lian family, who had elephant soldiers, was not something that could be swallowed and destroyed by Baiyue. If they want to cooperate with Lu Zhe to attack Baiyue, they are not willing to give any benefit, they think it is a joke.
The three clans together can gather at least 160,000 troops, not to mention the combat effectiveness of these troops, but it is obviously of great use to Lu Zhe to block the back road of Baiyue, and Li Shiqi's tough posture is not that nothing can be discussed, but it is just to show an attitude of "I don't have to ask for help from the three clans" to prevent the three clans from asking for a price.
Huang and Yong saw that Lian was confident, and they hesitated for a long time and didn't say anything.
"Then so be it, I'll go back and tell my lord, you are still on the side of Baiyue, and you can be wiped out together when the army comes." Li Shiqi is not like a lobbyist, but more like a villain who has come to declare war.
At this moment, Lian was stunned, and even Huang and Yong were a little uncertain.
In fact, in their opinion, Lu Zhe must be useful for sending people to contact them, so it is natural to take some benefits, but looking at the posture of Li Shiqi's expression, it seems that he is purely asking about the attitude of the three clans, and what choice the three clans make will not affect the result of Lu Zhe's recovery of Changsha County.
"Are you so confident in defeating Baiyue and recovering Changsha?" Lian An almost laughed wildly to show disdain.
The combat effectiveness of the Baiyue soldiers is not strong, there is nothing to say about this, history has proved countless times that the Baiyue people are okay to fight and sneak attacks, and if the battle is a battle, the 50,000 Chinese army will destroy 200,000 or 300,000 Baiyue as if it were playing, but Li Shiqi is too crazy, and the madness will push the three clans to the side of Baiyue, and they will defeat Wu Rui, who is close to 250,000 mercenaries, why does Lu Zhe think that if he waves his army south, he can treat them as chickens and pinch them to death at will.
"It's not the first time that my lord has defeated Baiyue, and my lord hasn't just defeated Baiyue. Baiyue lost 300,000 in the hands of my lord, and at that time my lord had not yet gained a firm foothold, and his command was also some poorly trained soldiers. My lord defeated the Baiyue, the Qin army, and the Chu army, and now he is even more firm, and the 500,000 troops under his command are all well-trained and well-equipped soldiers, do you think Baiyue can hold Changsha? Li Shiqi was even more disdainful, and in order to stimulate the three clans, he replied: "You are willing to bury Baiyue, and my lord is willing to cut off some people who think they are a threat to governance." β
It seems to be the same thing, Lu Zhe was unstoppable after raising his army, and there were many armies that were defeated before and after, and it was not an opponent like Wu Rui who could be measured at all. Besides, Li Shiqi is too crazy, they feel that if they don't have full confidence or strength, Li Shiqi should be begging them for help, not just talking badly to each other, and yelling at them to wait for death if they can't talk about it.
After defeating Wu Rui, the relationship between Baiyue and the four clans took a sharp turn for the worse, and after the Yang clan was swallowed, it was impossible for the remaining three clans not to be afraid. There is no possibility of union between them and Bai Yue after tearing their faces, and now there is a threat from Lu Zhe, the representative of Li Shiqi, and they subconsciously feel that they should think about it, don't when Bai Yue is finished, they were pinched to death by Lu Zhe.
"If we help Lu Hou ......, no, if we are willing to belong to Lu Hou, is it possible to guarantee that the rule will still be managed by us?" Huang Ping, the head of the Huang family, was the first to be discouraged, he was the weakest of the three clans, and he had already broken out a conflict with South Vietnam, even if he was not destroyed by Lu Zhe, he would be attacked by that group of cannibals, so he was naturally the first to give in.
"No way!" Li Shiqi held his head high and looked proud: "At most, I can guarantee the family property, and I want to form a separation, hehe!" β
Lian An was instantly angry: "You can't get anything, and you still want us to send troops to attack Baiyue?" You're dreaming! β
Yong Shi also said: "Lu Hou is confident that he has the strength to take Changsha, I naturally believe it." But...... Maybe it would be smoother for us to send troops to help? Since we help, it should also be a little good. β
"Having said that, at most the family property is guaranteed, and the rest is hands-free." Li Shiqi looked at Lian An very unhappily: "What you rely on is just an elephant soldier, do you really rely on it?" It's no secret that the beast is afraid of the fire, and with a way to deal with it, the Lian clan's so-called reliance is just a joke for the soldiers of a hundred battles! (To be continued......)
