reacted to it, but Lu Zhe still didn't quite understand what connection Baiyue Liguo had with Yihu Song and other tribal alliance chiefs going north.

Is it to expand the territory on the basis of the country? It seems that the territory of the Baiyue tribes is not much smaller than that of the Central Plains, and if they know how to develop, the land and minerals needed to establish the country are enough for the Baiyue people to squander for dozens of generations. You must know that since the Sui Dynasty developed Yangzhou (part of the territory of Baiyue's current territory), it was able to feed half of the empire, and by the Southern Song Dynasty, the production of the south had supported 85 million people. Baiyue is only more than a million people, even if the social production system is backward, the land in the south is completely enough to become the foundation of the country.

Since the land and resources are enough to become the needs of Baiyue to build a country, Lu Zhe needs to think elsewhere.

The entire Chinese army tent instantly quieted down, and Ning Benliao looked at Lu Zhe's back a little worriedly, not quite sure if he was in trouble.

Li Shiqi saw that Ning Benliao's eyes looked over, and he showed a "you are relieved" smile at Ning Benliao, and made a "shhh" gesture.

Lu Zhe needs absolute silence when thinking about things, if there is any movement during his thinking, it will cause anger, this point Li Shiqi has been reminded by people who are close to Wenchen, including Kuai Tong, Xiao He, Yan Pi, etc.

In fact, you can directly ask the patriarch of the three clans who knows the inside story, but Lu Zhe doesn't need to show his attitude of ignoring the three clans, in order to let the three clans understand that it doesn't matter whether they exist or not, play a psychological tactic, and then arrange for the three clans to take the lead.

It is true that the three clans cannot make themselves feel that they have the necessity of being needed, once a person has the value of being needed, then some ideas will definitely be generated, depending on how big the needs are.

Lü Zhe didn't like the three clans, and in some ways even felt disgusted, but at this stage, Lü Zhe needed the three clans, and the local forces could have an extraordinary effect if they stabilized the area, and attacking Lingnan and Minyue also needed people from the three clans who knew more about those areas.

On the premise of need. And under the premise of being very needed, Lu Zhe instead wanted to show his unvalued side, which made the three clans feel worried, and let them beg Lu Zhe to need them in turn. You must know that the psychological thoughts generated by those who seek to be useful and those who are begged to be useful are completely different, so Lu Zhe, who was already disliked under Kuaitong's Jianyi, did not mind showing that he did not like the three clans.

Psychological tactics can not only be used in battle formations many times, but also for controlling subordinates, Lu Zhe more or less agrees with Kuaitong's idea, but rarely uses that set of imperial techniques on those subordinates who started with him, but now it is just right to treat the three clans.

I don't understand why Yi Hu Song and other chiefs of the Baiyue Tribal Alliance have to go north. Lu Zhe felt that not thinking about this did not seem to have any impact on the battle situation, and what he should do now was to command the troops to clean up and intercept the back road of the Baiyue people around Luo County, and it was enough to take the troops to bury all the Baiyue people in Changsha County.

After waiting for the end of the war, Lu Zhe would take his time to figure out why the Baiyue people had to go north, and seeing this clearly, he turned his attention to the development of the war situation.

To tell the truth, with more than 300,000 troops, nearly 500,000 were besieged...... It seems that there are no more than 500,000, and after a series of war losses, it seems that there are only 300,000 left in Changsha?

Using more than 300,000 troops to besiege more than 300,000 enemy troops is a bit unbelievable no matter how you hear this, after all, the art of war has a cloud: "Ten and besiege it, and five and attack it." If it is required by the art of war, Lu Zhe should use three million people to besiege the 300,000 people of Baiyue, but three million people ...... No matter how you look at it, I think it's funny and impossible.

The art of war needs to be learned. After learning, you have to see how to use it, if you do it all according to what is written in the art of war, then ...... It is estimated that he will either be beaten so that he can't find the north, or he will always be in the stage of preparing for war. Therefore, learning and using it has been emphasized since the beginning of knowledge dissemination, and Lu Zhe has more than two thousand years of knowledge. Maybe you'll be stupid, but you'll never be stupid enough to do that.

Fighting a war also pays attention to "the right time, the right place, and the right people."

It's winter, so the one who is ready for the winter has the upper hand. Lu Zhejun's winter clothes were prepared in a hurry, and at least half of the more than 300,000 troops were actually in a state of lack of winter clothes, and only those main battle units completed the change. The baggage team that carried the winter clothes in the follow-up has never heard of it, but if you want to complete the change of more than 300,000 people, even if the five counties are rushing to make winter clothes, it will take at least a month and a half to include the transportation time at the earliest.

Lu Zhe did not have an advantage in the sky, but the Baiyue people are estimated to be no better, but the Baiyue people seem to be dressed like that in all seasons, and from the habitual point of view, the Baiyue people seem to take advantage of the time?

Lu Zhe has a number on hand, from the beginning to the present, it should be within a month and a half, Sima Xin's non-combat attrition of more than 2,000 people, his own 150,000 people on the way and more than 4,000 people have been excluded in the combat sequence because of the relationship of physique.

That is, it was only a month and a half, and nearly 10,000 people had lost their combat ability before they started to use the knife, and Lu Zhe was actually very mentally prepared when he saw this number. You must know that Sima Xin's department was quite completely prepared before going south, and with such sufficient preparations, it can lose more than 2,000 non-combat losses, and with the extension of time, there will definitely be more non-combat losses and attrition. So there are at least 80,000 soldiers on Lu Zhe's side who lack winter clothes, and they have only been reduced to more than 4,000 non-combat personnel in four days since they were promoted, what if it takes a month, two months, three months, or even longer?

Winter is not suitable for the use of soldiers, whether in the era of cold weapons or in modern times, think of the German army in World War II, nearly a million troops in the cold winter Russia encounter.

The south is not so cold in winter, and it is precisely for this consideration that Lu Zhe dared to use troops in winter this time, but consideration is only speculation after all, and he has already used facts to prove that many times speculation and reality are two different things.

"I don't know if there are many non-combat attritions on Baiyue's side......" Thinking about it, Lu Zhe looked at Huang Ping, the descendant of Chun Shenjun, who didn't know which one.

Huang Ping felt a stronger sense of oppression than Ning Ben Liao when he was stared at by Lu Zhe, after all, Lu Zhe had no emotion in his heart when he looked at Ning Ben Liao, and when he looked at Huang Ping, he was slightly depressed in his heart.

The strong sense of oppression made Huang Ping's breathing a little uncomfortable at that moment, and he waited tremblingly for what Lu Zhe was going to say.

"How are your troops losing men in the winter?" Lu Zhecai didn't care why the patriarch of the three clans seemed to be trembling, he needed an example to compare.

Huang Ping honestly stated his situation, and then even An and Ning Benliao also truthfully stated the numbers.

"Sure enough, ......" Lu Zhe confirmed his guess, which region where the people can always adapt to the local climate, then the Baiyue people will not have much even if they have non-combat attrition.

There are still almost two months to go before the end of winter, and considering that the climate in the south is milder than in the north, and the seasonal impact of winter will be minimized, it is estimated that the weather will inevitably warm up in about a month, and the worries about non-combat losses can be relaxed at that time.

The weather is warmer, and the new troubles faced by Lu Zhe will definitely come again, you must know that the rotation of the seasons will always let God rain to inform all beings that "Lao Tzu's mood has changed", and the south has many forests and special climates, once it rains, it will definitely be endless plus an intermittent, if you want to fight non-stop, you must fully consider the impact of the rainy season.

This is what Lu Zhe strives to solve the Baiyue people around Luo County within half a month, so the movement of the troops must be as fast as possible.

The survival of cavalry is used to continuously compress the living space of the Baiyue people, and it is also to use the speed of the cavalry to annihilate any Baiyue people who may escape.

While the cavalry played its part, the movement of the infantry was full of tests, and the infantry had a very heavy task, they needed to destroy or garrison the main roads while advancing, and they might need to set aside enough reserves to play hide and seek with the Baiyue people who were running into the woods.

Geographical advantage is a factor that every commander with troops must take into account, and the terrain of Changsha County is very complicated because of many water systems, so it is simply that there is already a naval army under Lu Zhe. To be honest, the combat effectiveness of this naval army is definitely not very good, after all, it has only been formed for less than a month, and the drills that should be there are extremely lacking, but there should be no problem in using it to harass and prevent the possible crossing of the river by the Baiyue people, right?

With the assistance of the navy, if you want to stop Baiyue from escaping to the south, you only need to guard the main road, so the role of Luo Shao's army is also shown.

Luo Shao's 180,000-strong army had at least 150,000 Baiyue people, and Lu Zhe really couldn't think of a better place to chase monkeys in the jungle than monkeys.

The first step is to eliminate the elite of Baiyue, and then use the soldiers to guard the main road, and then let the subdued Baiyue people chase and kill the Baiyue people who fled into the forest, the entire layout because Sima Xin has already consumed the elite troops of Baiyue in the street battle in Luo County, at this stage, Lu Zhe's layout has actually been completed about five-tenths, even if there are changes, at most it is impossible to complete the entire layout ten out of ten.

On the third day of the cavalry sortie, that is, the second group of troops advanced to about eighty miles away from Luo County, at this time Su Lie had already led the army to capture Linxiang, and it would take about half a day to complete the meeting with the second group of troops with the heavy infantry as the main force, but in the rear, they received unexpected information.

"After the Song Dynasty captured Luoxian, there was no action to consolidate the city defenses, and it took two days to collect the weapons of the battlefield and pack the grain left by Sima Xin, and retreated south without hesitation?"

Comparing the time, if Lu Zhe hadn't launched a military operation in advance, it would definitely be too late to plug the gap when waiting for the Baiyue people to retreat south!

"Sima Xin......" Lu Zhe saw the key word, it was the grain left by Sima Xin that slowed down the retreat of the Baiyue people. (To be continued......)
