Chapter 796: Wildfire Wants to Burn the Sky
Chapter 800
This time, Cheng Dalei returned to Liangzhou and there was almost no movement, no one beat gongs and drums to greet him, and Cheng Dalei did not notify anyone in advance.
But when he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, washed up, changed into clean clothes, and came to the council hall, the main figures in Liangzhou had already been raised.
There are Liu Bei, He Shen, Wu Yong, Gao Lishi, Song Ci, Yang Guozhong, and A Xi, and Wu has Qin Man, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Zilong, Gao Feihu, Gao Feibao, and Little White Wolf.
Speaking of which, Cheng Dalei is now also a civil official, a military general, and a wide range of generals.
"The Rong people called. Cheng Dalei took a sip of tea.
Everyone nodded at the same time, staring intently at Cheng Dalei.
In Liangzhou, the news channel is faster than Cheng Dalei. Cheng Dalei has not yet arrived in Liangzhou, everyone has already learned the news of the Rong invasion in advance, and these days they are sharpening their knives, just waiting for Cheng Dalei to come back to make a decision.
Cheng Dalei first introduced Hua Rong, Yang Zhi, and Zhou Cang to everyone, and everyone had seen Shan Xiongxin before, so there was no need for Cheng Dalei to talk nonsense. Cheng Dalei sent Zhou Cang to Guan Yu to stop it, and as for Hua Rong and Yang Zhi, he made arrangements.
After that, Cheng Dalei briefly talked about his experience in Chang'an City, and now he is the rightful king of Liangzhou, with the military seal given by the emperor of the empire. Others, such as Xu Shenji, Liu Bei and others, also had awards.
He Shen took the lead in getting up and said, "Congratulations to the king." ”
The others got up at the same time, greeted Cheng Dalei with their luggage, and called out to "Wang".
Cheng Dalei waved his hand, he also planned to be an idle prince for a few years, and renovate Liangzhou to resemble an iron bucket. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got the throne, the Rong clan called. The empire is in danger, and he, the king of Liangzhou, is not as valuable as he originally thought.
"You can still call it as before, and you don't have to be formal. Cheng Dalei said and asked, "Let's talk about what you know, right?"
Ah Xi opened his mouth to reply, and he was in charge of gathering intelligence. Emperor ** has been relaxing his intelligence work on the Rong clan, but Ah Xi has not relaxed. This large-scale invasion of the Rong tribe, even if he was not the first to get the information, he was among the first people to get the information.
This time, he learned the information from the Rong people. Cheng Dalei has been entrenched in Liangzhou for so long, and he gets along well with the neighboring Rong tribes. Yeyuan Huo unified the various tribes of the Rong tribe, but there were also some small tribes who were unwilling to submit. They are displaced, they live in the middle of nowhere, and they can't help the wildfires.
From their mouths, they learned that this time, Yeyuan Huo did his best to gather an army of 200,000 people, with only one purpose, that is, to replace the Li family.
Although he had guessed this possibility before, Cheng Dalei still felt thrilled after confirming it from Ah Xi's mouth.
"Sure enough, the wildfire is going to burn the sky. Cheng Dalei sighed with emotion.
"Big boss, what should we do?" asked He Shen, the wildfire in his pupils could no longer be hidden.
"How many troops do we have now?"
"Fifty thousand. Liu Bei replied: "The grain and grass are more abundant, and the weapons have been produced, and they are enough." ”
"50,000 people, leaving 20,000 people to guard Liangzhou, and the troops that can be dispatched are only 30,000?" Cheng Dalei's gaze swept over the people in the hall: "What can we do?"
Speechless and silent, the light in Heshen's eyes dimmed a little.
Cheng Dalei sighed softly, and he kept thinking about this question on the way back. Naturally, he didn't want to watch the Rong clan mess with the world, but the forces he could use were too few, and he couldn't do anything he wanted to.
In fact, 50,000 people are not too little, if you count the people and the adults, Liangzhou City can still pull out the team of more than 100,000 people.
However, to put these people who have never seen blood into battle is almost to send them to death. Only a person who can survive a large-scale battle is considered a qualified warrior.
"Are we not going to do anything?" asked Heshen.
Cheng Dalei shook his head and sighed, and said: "From Liangzhou to Chang'an, there are many passes all the way, even if only 30,000 people are dispatched, it is an astronomical amount for people to eat and chew, and thousands of miles of running, the logistics channel cannot be established at all." Besides, the emperor is not our friend, how does he know whether we are going to support, or taking advantage of the fire to rob, I can't say that Li Letian has already mobilized troops to Liangzhou, and it is we who are guarded. ”
"Big boss, how about walking from the grassland?" Wu Yong asked, there is no emperor on the grassland.
"It's hard to go deep alone. Cheng Dalei sighed.
"If we cut off the food routes of the Rong people, will they be invincible? "Liu Bei.
"Rong ......" Cheng Dalei paused: "There is no grain and grass." ”
The Rong people are terrible, one is horsemanship, the people who grew up on horseback are not at all the emperor ** can be compared; but brave, everyone has the spirit of outlaws, in the grassland they fight with wild beasts, in the empire they are the most ferocious beasts.
The Kerong also have one of the most troublesome advantages, which is super high mobility.
To mobilize the emperor, we must first ensure the supply of grain and grass. Transporting one load of grain to the front often consumes more than two loads. The prevarication in the rear and the inability to receive grain and grass were the main reasons for the defeat.
In this regard, the Rong people perfectly played the spirit of being barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, and each warrior would carry dry food for several days. After entering the territory of the empire and breaking through the city, it will be replenished. Only after capturing large swathes of the city will they establish logistics.
And even if they fall into a situation of lack of food, they have their way. The Rong are natural hunters, and even if they can't hunt wild beasts, they can still use civilians as prey. Jerky made of human flesh is said to be a delicacy on the table of the Rong people.
This kind of thing is not only happening to the Rong people, the princes of the empire are fighting each other, and this kind of thing has not happened before.
This is the cruelty of cold weapon warfare, bloody people into beasts, after the most ferocious beasts achieve victory, high crowns and long sleeves, and then teach not enough vicious beasts to be human, in the name of morality.
This is also the reason why Cheng Dalei has always been reluctant to use force easily, the war is too cruel, and there are not so many battlefield tragedies to say.
He Shen was a little dissatisfied: "Are we just sitting back and watching them invade my empire and slaughter my people?"
He Shen is an ambitious man, he doesn't care about the empire or the people. This crisis is also an opportunity. Cheng Dalei said that it was never a problem, Li Letian couldn't believe us, so he just fought all the way over, and what if he took the world.
Cheng Dalei shook his head: "Sit and watch is to sit and watch, but you can't ignore it." ”
This time is a major event that will destroy the country and the world, and Cheng Dalei will not stand idly by, no matter how cold his heart is. It's just that it's really not suitable to shoot now, he's just waiting.
Wait for the right opportunity to make a move.
