Li Jing frowned. He didn't have much food in his hands.
The current stock of grain can barely last ten days and a half. In Li Jing's earliest plan, he planned to arrive in Chengdu, meet up with Liu Bang, and let Liu Bang be responsible for the grain. Now, in turn, he has to distribute grain to
Liu Bang, once this happens, the little food he has in hand will not be enough.
I'm afraid it will be a problem to support it for five or six days.
Li Jing said: "Emperor Han, do you store all your grain in Chengdu? Are there no granaries in other places?"
"No!"
Liu Bang shook his head.
He was afraid that Li Jing would not believe it, so he explained specifically: "Because of the loss of Ba County and Guanghan County, I expected that I might not be able to stop Wang Can's troops, so I moved all the food into Chengdu. Under the current situation, Chengdu
It’s gone, and the food is gone.”
"you……"
Li Jing was furious when he heard this.
This is really...
All the food was put in Chengdu, but now it is subsidizing Wang Can. It is really stupid.
Liu Bang said in a deep voice: "General Manager Li, the soldiers in our army really have no food. After fighting for a day, they fled Chengdu in a hurry. Everyone is hungry. Look, how much food should be distributed. Otherwise, I'm afraid,
The soldiers under my command will all have to fight among themselves first."
"good!"
Li Jing nodded heavily and said, "I can give you some of the food."
"Thank you, thank you!"
Liu Bang also breathed a sigh of relief.
At least we have obtained food. As long as we have food, the soldiers in the army will not make a fuss for the time being.
Li Jing called Su Dingfang and ordered: "Dingfang, please allocate 10,000 kilograms of grain to the Han Emperor's people. This is their three-day ration. Let them make their own arrangements."
Liu Bang raised his eyebrows and said quickly: "Mr. Li, the number of soldiers under my command must be nearly ten thousand now. Next, soldiers will flee back from the front line one after another. These ten thousand kilograms of food are not enough!"
For Liu Bang's soldiers, this amount of food was not even enough to stuff their teeth.
If the soldiers were allowed to eat openly, they would probably finish it in one day.
When Li Jing heard Liu Bang's words, his face suddenly darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Emperor Han, the food I gave you is not enough, is my food enough? Nowadays, everyone is tightening their belts to live. Ten thousand
If you don’t need a catty of food, then give up.”
"Don't, don't!"
When Liu Bang saw this, he quickly said: "I want it, I want this food."
Li Jing said: "It's time to make the arrangements."
Liu Bang also immediately called Xiao He and asked Xiao He to go with Su Dingfang to get food.
After Liu Bang settled the matter of food, he changed the topic and said: "Manager Li, under the current situation, there is something quite strange that I have never figured out."
Li Jing said: "What happened?"
Liu Bangdao: "About the attack on Chengdu City."
When Li Jing heard this, he leaned forward slightly and said sternly: "I am also very confused when it comes to the attack on Chengdu City. Even if Wang Can's army is powerful, it is impossible for him to do so in a short period of time.
, then conquer Chengdu.”
"After all, the city of Chengdu is strong."
"There are not only moats but also urn city protection. Even if I use Datang's artillery bombardment to capture Chengdu in a short time, it will not be possible."
Li Jing said in a deep voice: "Why was it breached?"
"well……"
Liu Bang couldn't help but sigh.
This is exactly what he wanted to say.
Liu Bang explained: "This is because there is a mole, or an unusual mole. The situation at that time was that we, Wang Can, led a large army to attack the north of the city and attracted all the troops of my Han Dynasty."
"Then, Wang Can secretly attacked Chencang, sent a group of soldiers to sneak into the west of the city, fought their way out from the west, opened the city gate, and joined forces with the Han army outside the west of the city."
"What surprised me the most is how Wang Can's army entered the west of the city?"
"This is something I can't figure out."
Liu Bang said: "If it weren't for the sudden appearance of an army in the west of the city, which caused problems in the entire Chengdu defense, we wouldn't be in the current situation."
Li Jing frowned and said, "Is there some truth behind it?"
Liu Bang said: "This is unknown."
Regarding this situation, Liu Bang couldn't understand or think through it for the time being.
Li Jing narrowed his eyes and said seriously: "If there is really a tunnel, we can actually use it. As long as we can find the tunnel, maybe we can sneak into Chengdu along the tunnel."
After a pause, Li Jing said: "The Emperor of Han is sitting in Chengdu, which is your capital. Didn't you build one or two secret roads leading directly to the outside of the city?"
"No!"
Liu Bang shook his head and answered.
"That's it!"
Li Jing couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Emperor Han, please go and rest. I will make proper arrangements for the next battle."
"Thank you for your hard work, Manager Li."
Liu Bang gave the order.
After saying that, Liu Bang got up and left. After Liu Bang got up and left, Cheng Yaojin came over with a solemn look on his face and said: "General manager, our current situation is not good. First, there is no food left.
Not many. Secondly, all the warships were burned and the retreat was cut off. If you are not careful, there is a danger of capsizing. What do you think we should do about the current situation?"
Li Jing said: "No matter how difficult the current situation is, we can only persist. Once we retreat directly, Wang Can's focus will shift to Bajun. By then, Li Ji will be under tremendous pressure."
Cheng Yaojin thought for a while and said: "Since there is no solution, let's engage in guerrilla warfare. We will roam and fight to hold back Wang Can's troops. Then we will look for granaries and try to get some food."
"Disaster!"
Li Jing shook his head and said: "We are not familiar with the place in Chengdu, so it is not easy to travel and fight. The most important thing is that Wang Can also rose from Yizhou. Liu Bang is familiar with Yizhou, and Wang Can is also familiar with Yizhou.
.”
"Under the current situation, I am wondering whether I should withdraw from Chengdu first and then slowly confront Wang Can."
"There is no need for us to confront Wang Can head-on."
"Wang Can has captured Chengdu, so let him occupy Chengdu first and let him be arrogant in Chengdu. We will go near Chengdu, or even to the south of Chengdu, towards Yueqi County, and continue to engage in guerrilla attacks to consume Wang Can's troops."
Li Jing's eyes flashed with wisdom and said: "Near Chengdu, it is a vast plain with no strategic depth. But as long as we leave Chengdu, the rest of the place is mountainous and the roads are steep. That will be the confidence for us to fight against Wang Can.
.”
Cheng Yaojin said: "In this case, it will become a protracted war. This kind of fighting and fighting cannot be ended overnight or in a short while."
Li Jing said: "It is worthwhile if we can curb Wang Can's military expansion. Once Wang Can completely controls Yizhou, it will be fatal to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, as long as we insert ourselves into the heart of Yizhou, we will
It is equivalent to curbing Wang Can's development in Yizhou."
Cheng Yaojin also had a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Although Cheng Yaojin is a rough guy, his thoughts are extremely delicate.
He is not a brainless person.
After Cheng Yaojin thought for a while, he continued: "We have considered it this way. I don't know what Wang Can will do next."
Li Jing said: "Wang Can has Wang Can's own ideas. We don't care what he wants to do. What we have to do next is to mobilize Wang Can's troops and make Wang Can circle around us."
"The manager is wise!"
Cheng Yaojin flattered him.
"Report!"
At this time, soldiers suddenly came to Li Jing's side.
Li Jing asked: "What's the matter?"
The soldier reported: "Looking back, the main roads around our area have been blocked by Wang Can's soldiers. Only at the checkpoints, Wang Can's soldiers are stationed, and there are even more soldiers patrolling."
brush!
Li Jing looked solemn.
Troops were stationed at all the major checkpoints in the surrounding area, which meant that Wang Can was preparing to block his way.
In other words, block him.
Li Jing asked: "Are there troops stationed on every road?"
"Yes, very sure!"
The soldier replied solemnly.
Li Jing waved the soldiers to retreat. He looked at Cheng Yaojin and continued: "We are blocked on all sides. I'm afraid Wang Can is still around and has stationed a large army. Once we show up, Wang Can's army will immediately
Let's catch up. As long as we are entangled, Wang Can can consume our troops bit by bit."
Cheng Yaojin said: "Actually, this is not that difficult. If we attack in the east and attack in the west, or adopt other methods, we can rush out. The most important thing is how we can turn defeat into victory."
Li Jing's eyes narrowed and he said: "You said, we will follow the plan?"
Cheng Yaojin said: "How to use the plan?"
Li Jing immediately elaborated on the detailed plan. After explaining the plan, he said: "It is not appropriate for us to have a decisive battle with Wang Can now, but defeating the opponent in this way is the most suitable for us."
After hearing the detailed plan, Cheng Yaojin said: "General Manager Yingming, this is a good idea. But there are Wang Can's troops stationed around here, so it's not easy to get through."
Li Jing said: "There is always a way."
After finishing speaking, Li Jing thought carefully and perfected the plan in his mind. After a short time, Su Dingfang finished handing over the food and came to Li Jing to report.
Li Jing immediately told the next plan, and then said: "Dingfang, if I ask you to arrange it, will it be successful?"
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Su Dingfang replied solemnly.
For him, as long as it was a task assigned by Li Jing, he had to complete it even if he risked his life.
This is the battlefield.
On the battlefield, even if there are all kinds of difficulties, even if you encounter all kinds of problems, you can't retreat. You can only grit your teeth and go all out to solve the problem.
Li Jing said: "Well, be careful."
"You will finally understand!"
Su Dingfang replied solemnly.
For him, although the things arranged by Li Jing are a bit difficult and will be very tricky to do, as long as there is a chance to reverse the situation, he is willing to give it a try. (To be continued)
