"I see, have all the people here fled?"

After listening to Yuan Ye's report quietly, Xiao Feng was slightly sad. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

People in troubled times are not as good as Taiping dogs, and the cannibalistic world in Lu Xun's article is also so truly displayed in front of everyone, which makes people feel embarrassed.

The people next to them were also silent, they also heard those descriptions from Yuan Ye's mouth, and they also understood that if they couldn't grasp their future fate, they were afraid that one day they would also follow the same fate.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid our plan will change. Sighing slightly, Zhao Zhi's eyes couldn't help but flash a little annoyance.

According to the previous plan, they were originally going to dispose of this place in the same way that Handan City was disposed of, but most of the peasants here had fled, leaving only a barren farmland.

In this kind of environment, where is there any possibility of fighting local tyrants and dividing the land?

Xiao Feng replied, "That's right! ”

Her eyebrows tightened and she stared at the blue sky as wide as the sea, as if she wanted to see if the fleeing victims had escaped the clutches of death, but there was no response to this boundless expanse.

In order to survive, the farmers who had lived here for a long time abandoned everything and eventually ran in the unknown direction.

And after they have abandoned their homeland, will they be able to find a place in this wilderness where they can live and work in peace and contentment?

Xiao Feng has not yet found an answer to this question.

"If so. In order to avoid the enemy's pursuit and make it easier for us to resist, I suggest abandoning Longping and going directly to Lincheng. Standing beside him, Yu Wenwei looked at Xiao Feng's slightly depressed figure, and opened his mouth to persuade.

His eyebrows soothed slightly, and Xiao Feng replied, "Lincheng?"

"That's right. It is Lincheng. Yuwen Wei replied loudly: "As far as I know, Lincheng is known as the title of Seven Mountains, Two Rivers and One Field, which is the most suitable for us to establish a base here. Even if an enemy attacks, we can take advantage of the terrain to maneuver around the opponent, instead of falling into a dead situation as before. ”

Zhao Zhi also agreed: "That's right. Our staff discussed it and decided to choose Lincheng. Because the city is rich in water, there should be some remnants of people. If you go to Lincheng, you should be able to get enough manpower to open up the grain fields. ”

If the farmland here is abandoned, then they will have to go down by themselves and mobilize civil and material resources to build farmland and water conservancy facilities, and then restore agricultural production.

"If it's as you say, choose Lincheng over there. Xiao Feng pondered it carefully and gave an order.

After receiving the order, the Red Phoenix Army, which had already rested, set off again, and set foot on the road to Lincheng again.

The vast wasteland and the slanting sun shining on the still immature faces of the soldiers of the Red Phoenix Army also made them feel a little dazed, but they didn't know what they came here for, but they knew that they only needed to follow their lord's orders to get out of this predicament.

Zhending Mansion, Longxing Temple.

Walking in it, Su Hunza held the letter in his hand, his expression was solemn, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he thought that he was thinking about something.

Outside of him, a monk was clasping his hands and closing his eyes, and he didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or the hot weather, but there was a lot of sweat on his forehead, and the sweat soaked into his eyeballs, making him feel uncomfortable, and his eyes blinked, so that he could regain his consciousness a little, but even to this extent, he did not dare to raise his hand slightly to wipe the sweat from his face, for fear of angering the general in front of him.

Since the early morning, Suhunca has come to this Longxing temple and asked them to hand over the grain stored in the temple.

Although this monk is arguing on the basis of reason, he has no choice but to make up his mind, and there is no room for maneuver, if it is not for the sudden arrival of a flying letter, I am afraid that he will be cut off by Su Hun Cha, and how can he stand here and obstruct people's eyes.

The scorching sun gradually rose to make the courtyard more and more scorching, and also made the flowers in the hall lose some moisture and look a little sluggish.

It's just that in the eyes of the monk, the general in front of him has never moved, even there is no sweat on his forehead, you must know that he is wearing dozens of pounds of armor, and the thickness and heat preservation of the armor are enough to turn any armor into a oven under this hot summer day.

When will this guy be able to leave?

The monk thought to himself, and then he heard the sound of horses' hooves from a distance, and with a "clang", a war horse slammed open the courtyard gate and broke into the temple.

The war horse rushed directly towards the two of them, and the knight above was about to lose control and crash into the two of them. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Na Su Hun seemed to be aware of it, and his eyes fell on the war horse slightly, and an invisible force burst out, which immediately made the war horse pause, as if there was an abyss in front of him.

The knight on the war horse relieved himself at this time, and when he saw that Su Hun was here, he immediately abandoned his horse and bowed down: "General Qiqi, I have done what you ordered." You will be ready to go in a few days. ”

"I see!"

Only then did Su Hunza put down the letter in his hand and raised his head: "Since you are ready, let's go on the expedition over there." After all, this Central Plains is still unstable, if we let that red demon continue to run rampant here, I'm afraid we won't be able to completely control the Central Plains. As soon as the words fell, there was a whistling sound next to him.

Looking at it, it was a jujube red war horse, and several horse slaves were following behind it, desperately trying to hold the war horse.

However, they had just touched the reins when they were thrown away by the war horse, and then the four hooves were like the wind, galloping, and in an instant they came to the side of Suuncha, and their eyes were full of energy, looking at Suuncha.

Su Hunza laughed at this time, stretched out his hand to touch the war horse, and said with a doting voice: "Baby, you finally can't help it, you want to gallop on the horse?" Then he stepped on the war horse and left from here.

Seeing that the main monk was leaving, the monk finally couldn't help it, and asked flatteringly: "General, I don't know if you can give you a few days? The rest is really gone. ”

Su Hun Cha snorted lightly, showing impatience, and looked sideways at the high monk and became a little annoyed: "How long is the grace period?

"If it's a year, it's great. The monk hunched his waist, and people couldn't help but sound the wooden slap, always bowing and nodding his head habitually.

Su Hun Cha was displeased, and sneered: "Three days." Within three days, prepare all the food for me, do you know?" After that, he had already turned over and jumped on the war horse, and with just a roar, he left from this Longxing Temple, leaving only the monk's increasingly embarrassed face, and his trembling body, standing in place and muttering.

"Three days, three days? This is going to kill me. ”

.........

It had been half a day since he left Tangshan, and by noon, the Red Phoenix Army had already come to Lincheng.

This city has a long history and has been formed since ancient times.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Western Zhou Dynasty belonged to the Xing State. In the spring and autumn period, the county border is the Jin land, and there is a Linyi city. In "Zuo Chuan: The Four Years of Mourning Gong", "Zhao Ji Benlin" is this, that is, the so-called "Spring and Autumn Jin Linyi" in "Zhaozhou Chronicles". And from the Han Dynasty to the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, now Lincheng County is the territory of the house county, to the first year of Tang Tianbao (AD 742), began to change Lincheng County here, according to the "Yuanhe County Chronicles" record: "to the southwest of the county ten miles, there is Lincheng because of the name of Yan", "Reading the History of Fangyu Minutes" also recorded: "The county has an ancient Lincheng, that is, the Linyi of the Jin Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period, Tang Yin took the name of the county. ”

Because of the continuous war, this place is sparsely populated, so as soon as the Red Phoenix Army arrived, they occupied Lincheng.

There are not many people in the city, only less than 10,000 people, not even as good as the Red Phoenix Army, and it is obvious that this is not a good place.

In the rear, Kublai Khan is leading his army straight forward, and it is estimated that it will be tomorrow when the time is calculated. After the Red Phoenix Army evacuated from Handan, it had been running for more than a few days overnight, and it was already exhausted, and it was really difficult to continue the operation, it was obvious that a big war was about to start, and the location might be in the vicinity of Lincheng.

After the stability was reached, Xiao Feng immediately gathered the whole army and began to hold a meeting to discuss the next things.

Meetings are held every three to five days, which is also the characteristic of the Red Phoenix Army.

When everyone gathered and Xiao Feng took his seat, Shi Qi suddenly rushed out and shouted, "Lord." There is something unclear about the subordinates, and I ask the lord to answer. ”

"What's the matter?" Looking at this person, Xiao Feng couldn't help frowning, although he was angry in his heart, he didn't show his expression.

On the other side, Cheng Feng immediately became angry, and was about to open his mouth to explain, but he was pulled by Yu Wenwei next to him, shook his head and signaled him to shut up, just quietly watching this person's words from the side.

Shi Jue looked a little surprised, then raised his voice and said, "Since our brothers followed the lord, all they are planning is a future. After entering the Central Plains, the lord not only did not lead us to conquer the city, but avoided the battle again and again, may I ask the lord what do you mean by this? Do you think we are all a burden and cannot defeat the Mongolian army? Don't forget the way when the Mongolian army was beaten by us when we were in Luzhou. ”

When he said this, some officers immediately shouted, and their words were full of dissatisfaction.

On the other side, Zhang Che snorted coldly and said secretly: "This guy is also arrogant, doesn't he know the current situation of the Red Phoenix Army? As for the officer beside him, he was silent, just looked at the officer opposite coldly, and there was a bit of resistance on his face.

While continuing to shout, he just looked at it coldly, and the officers on both sides were clearly distinguished, which looked extremely strange.

When Xiao Feng saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart.

She is the leader of the Red Phoenix Army, so she naturally knows what the scene in front of her is.

It was the surrendered army after Luzhou that followed Shi Qi to coax, and as for Zhang Che's side, it was the original main force of the Chifeng Army, the two were still hostile to each other before, and now they can mix together harmoniously, which is strange.

"Alas. It seems that this is the problem of expanding the army in a short period of time. ”

With a sigh in his heart, Xiao Feng was about to open his mouth to explain, but Yu Wenwei next to him had a cold face and reprimanded.

"Shut up!"

This silence immediately made Shi Qi's body tremble, and the officers around him were also chilling, and they couldn't help but shrink their heads. At this moment, they felt as if they had returned to the scene when they were in Luzhou, where they were falling down in rows by the Red Phoenix Army like cutting leeks.

Shi Qi was a little confused, and wanted to open his mouth to refute, but unexpectedly, Yu Wenwei already knew what this person's next sentence was, and scolded again: "What the lord has done has his own intentions." When is it your turn to interject? Get out of here, you guy, and I'll be punished with thirty lashes!"

When the words settled, Zeng Sheng beside him had already gone out of the horse, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed Shi Qi and took him out of the camp.

The terrible howl outside the camp passed through the curtain and entered the tent, and everyone was immediately silent, lest he himself be like Shi Qi, who had suffered this torture innocently.

Only then did Yu Wenwei say aloud: "The lord asked you to gather today to discuss how to deal with the Mongol army, not to listen to your complaints. Remember, if it weren't for the lord's protection of us, everyone in the table would have been with the pile of dry bones in Tangshan, where would they have the opportunity to stand here and discuss things?"

These words immediately made the officers who were arguing with shame and no longer hesitated.

After everyone finally regained their tranquility, Xiao Feng said, "Regarding the situation in this city, I think you must also understand. There were less than 1,000 inhabitants, most of the people in the city were old, weak, sick and disabled, and the city was short and inadequately garrisoned, so it was impossible to rely on this city to resist the approaching Mongol army. According to your opinion, what should we do?" asked, his eyes wandering over the faces of the crowd, as if to find someone.

Na Chengfeng immediately said: "In my opinion, I might as well avoid the mountains and take advantage of the terrain in the mountains to deal with the other party! After all, most of the soldiers in the army are mountain people, and they have always been familiar with mountain warfare. ”

"I agree. Moreover, the Mongol army is all cavalry, and it has always been good at large-scale roundabout battles. I've seen the terrain here before, and although it's a place where mountains and plains meet, it's not the same as Taiyuan. On the left and right sides of Taiyuan are mountains, which are difficult to cross, and only the middle road can be entered and exited. However, this city is backed by Taihang, and there are open areas in the north, south and east, and there are no checkpoints to guard. If you fight with the opponent in this city, I am afraid that you will not be able to resist the opponent's attack at all. On the other side, Zhang Che also replied loudly.

After several battles, he was not only familiar with the combat characteristics of the Chifeng army, but also understood the Mongolian methods of warfare, so after Xiao Feng raised this question, he quickly said his plan.

Ma Yundong also seconded: "That's right. Although our army has gone through several wars, more than 30,000 horses have been captured. However, the soldiers in the army are not well trained, and they are really no match for the other side. If we rashly engage the other side in this plain area, I am afraid that our army will suffer heavy losses. ”

He had been training cavalry since he joined the army.

However, this cavalry is very demanding, if you want to train a qualified cavalry, it will take three to five years, and this can only be said to be a good horseman, if you want to shoot in the march like the Mongols, it is difficult for a strong man.

The so-called people on horseback are not worthy of their name.
