Chapter one hundred and sixty-eight things are impermanent
Although the prisoners in Xuzhou have not received strict military training, the criminals in Xuzhou are subject to strict discipline and control when they are sent to prison. Especially after the bloody suppression of the prison riot incident, these five people in Xuzhou
Hundreds of prisoners can be said to be quite obedient.
After Han Qian left Xuzhou and returned to Jinling, Han Daoxun, who was good at managing prison affairs, also took a series of measures to improve the treatment of prisoners and strictly prohibited prison officials from exploiting and extorting prisoners.
In the event of prisoner abuse, the tradition of using poor food for food should also be put to an end.
At the same time, he vindicated several unjust cases and had a greater impact, but Han Daoxun first established his reputation among the prisoners.
Even though most of the prisoners were not very willing to become prisoners and enter the bloody battlefield, when Zhao Kuo and Yang Qin came all the way, there were not many prisoners who made trouble or escaped.
In the afternoon, the prisoners were organized, whether it was the Jianghu Camp or the Xuzhou Camp, whether it was assigning weapons for training, carrying supplies, or climbing up the city to clean the battlefield, everything was in order and presentable, even better than the training.
One and a half months of slave soldiers were slightly worse.
If someone else had stood in Han Qian's position, he would have been satisfied at this time.
He is under twenty years old, and his father is the governor of Bianzhou. Although his official rank is not high, he has the almost complete trust of the third prince. His status in the Linjiang Marquis Mansion and the Longque Army is comparable to that of Shen Yang.
Zhang Ping, Chai Jian, Li Chong and even Guo Ke were all trampled by him and were temporarily unable to stand up.
In addition to Zuo Si, the salt affairs promised by Emperor Tianyou, the construction of Canglang City, and even the logistics supply of the left front of the northwest camp were almost all left to his control.
In addition to the more than a thousand workers in the workshop, he directly controlled nearly a thousand people.
Even when Emperor Tianyou was under twenty years old, he might not have such a beautiful scene.
However, Han Qian was never satisfied. He looked at the turbulent river with worry.
The war is so fierce, especially today's fierce fighting, that many people may have temporarily forgotten that in two days it will be the New Year's Day, which will be the fourteenth year of God's blessing.
Theoretically, Emperor Tianyou still has more than three years to live, and he will not die until Tianyou's seventeenth year. But the problem is that Han Qian doesn't know whether Emperor Tianyou's life will still go as planned after so many changes.
The trajectory of history goes downwards.
A butterfly flapping its wings can cause a violent storm on the other side of the ocean.
The "butterfly effect" induced by any tiny factor is difficult to estimate.
At this time, he was trying to change his own life, the lives of the third prince and a large group of people, so why did he believe that Emperor Tianyou's life trajectory would not change?
Things in the world are unpredictable. No matter what, it would be too dogmatic for me to really believe that the situation can still be undone in God's 17th year.
Maybe it only takes two years to finish the fight, right?
Once the Dragon Bird Army gradually becomes powerful and the third prince's prestige is high enough, there will be heated discussions in the court about deposing the direct descendants. It is estimated that the Anning Palace will no longer be able to sit still until the death of Emperor Tianyou, right?
In addition to his long-term concerns, Han Qian was also deeply confused by the fierce battle in the early morning.
The 400 soldiers and horses of the Liang Army attacking Canglang City were definitely the elite combat force among the Liang Army in terms of fighting will and personal bravery. However, they did not have any decent siege equipment. Such combat power was usually released as a weapon.
Used as a mobile force to scout or raid the enemy's hinterland.
Even without taking Tie Crocodile Ridge, Liang Jun directly used lightly-armed elite cavalry to storm the city wall deep in the Chu army's defense line. Even after it was captured, it would have to face the Chu army attacking from both sides at any time, leading Liang Jun's more than 30,000 troops.
Han Yuanqi, the right-wing commander who entered Nanyang Penyang, made such a tactical arrangement, which made Han Qian a little confused.
Could it be that Liang Jun's elite troops are so numerous that they can be used up casually?
Han Qian was so confused that he stood by the river beach until dark, almost waiting for six ships of supplies to be transferred ashore before he returned to Canglang City.
Considering that the war on the Western Front might be more intense and tragic than expected, Han Qian decided to transport most of the supplies from Xuzhou to Jingzikou by Feng Xuan and others.
The amount of supplies transported from Xuzhou this time was twice that of before.
In order to dispel the wariness of the four surnames, Han Qian wrote a letter back to Jinling, asking Gao Shao to deduct the money collected by the money shop in November, deduct the consumption of Jinling, and release the excess 4 million to Jinling in advance.
Xuzhou was handed over to the four surnames as a deposit.
In addition to the five hundred prisoners, this is also an important reason why the fleet heading north this time is much larger than before.
Han Qian did not let them rest when the six ships unloaded supplies. Instead, he asked them to rush to Xiangzhou non-stop to transport the supplies that the defense embassy should allocate to the left front next month to Canglang City as soon as possible.
Nowadays, there are frequent military mobilizations, and the number of ships in Xiangzhou City is limited. If Han Qian doesn't send his own ships, he doesn't know how many days it will take to transport next month's grain and fodder.
As the night grew darker, a sound of horse hooves sounded outside Canglang City.
Han Qian didn't sleep either. He was summoning the eight new team leaders of the Xuzhou camp, including Tian Cheng, Zhao Kuo, Zhao Wuji, Xi Rong, Yang Qin, Xi Chang, Guo Nuer and Xi Faer, to the big tent to discuss the new Xuzhou camp.
Some problems have already been exposed after only half a day of editing.
There was the sound of horse hooves, but there were only a few horses riding on them. Han Qian didn't pay much attention to it. After a while, he saw General Fan Dahei coming in to report on the battle at Tie Crocodile Ridge.
The battle at Tiecrocodile Ridge lasted from noon until dark. It was almost when more than 1,500 generals from the Fourth Capital arrived at the northern foot of Tiecrocodile Ridge by boat that Liang Jun withdrew.
Li Zhigao dispatched two elite battalions from Jingzikou and sailed out of Jingzikou at a very fast speed. They had already arrived at Tiecrocodile Mountain before the war started.
Li Zhigao had a lot of elites at his disposal, and the terrain was convenient, but Liang Jun's attack was very determined today. Several waves of attacks during the day resulted in almost a thousand casualties, and Li Zhigao's troops suffered 600 casualties.
For this reason, Li Zhigao had to second a battalion of 500 soldiers from the Fourth Capital to temporarily stay in Tieguling to strengthen defense. He waited for the other two battalions of elite soldiers and horses from the First Capital to come from Jingzikou, and then sent Gao Chengyuan's soldiers and horses in batches.
Go to Jingzikou and meet Gao Chengyuan.
Based on the Liang Army's strong attack on Canglang City and Tieguling today, Li Zhigao hoped to urge the fifth capital generals led by Guo Liang to speed up their westward march. It would be best to enter Canglang City to wait and see the development of the situation in case something happens.
Change.
"Liang Jun's attack on the left wing was unexpectedly strong, wasn't it?" Tian Cheng smacked his lips and sighed to Han Qian.
Han Qian nodded and said: "Judging from the intensity of the fighting that broke out today, Liang Jun's desire to control the Danjiang waterway is stronger than we previously expected - Liang Jun's troops entering the Nanyang Basin this year may be
There will be ambitions to expand the territory!"
In the past, when the Liang Army entered the Nanyang Basin, they mainly raided and then retreated. After all, the cities north of the Han River were deserted and desolate, so heavy troops were deployed to control this area, and supplies would be quite difficult.
However, it cannot be concluded that Liang Jun has no ambition to incorporate the Nanyang Basin into the territory.
Although the Liang Kingdom has suffered from internal and external troubles in recent years, Zhu Yu, the second son of Emperor Liang, who was granted the title of King Yong and General Shenglong, has been recruiting refugees in Luoyang and other places in recent years, establishing new prefectures and counties, building water conservancy projects, and hoarding land for cultivation.
The results were great and Liang Jun's national strength has increased in the past two years.
If Liang Guo intends to occupy the Nanyang Basin for a long time, the significance of the Danjiang Waterway to Liang Jun will become even more prominent.
Han Qian ordered Tian Cheng to send several spies to disguise themselves and infiltrate into the hinterland of the enemy-controlled area to detect Liang Jun's movements. He took a boat to Xiangzhou City at night to meet the third prince and Shen Yang.
In addition to the nearly 6,000 main force of the Dragon Bird Army, Han Qian hoped that the Third Prince and Shen Yang could compete with Du Chongtao for more troops to join the left front.
As for the second capital generals headed by Zhou Shu, Han Qian still hoped that they would continue to stay east of Xiangzhou City.
To be honest, Han Qian was a little afraid to let No. 2, who was under the absolute control of Xinchanghou Mansion and Wanhonglou, get too close to him. It was a pleasure to "admonish" others by yourself, but it would be too much if you let others "admonish" others.
Not happy.
Han Qian still did not take Zhao Wuji with him during this trip, but secretly ordered him to keep an eye on Zhao Kuo.
Han Qian never trusted Zhao Kuo enough, especially after the intermarriage between Fan Dahei and Zhang Qian's daughter, he became even more wary of the older generation of family soldiers around his father.
However, Zhao Kuo was his father's confidant, and he also commanded the jailers in Xuzhou and escorted 500 prisoners to Xiangzhou. Han Qian could not use him as the commander of the Xuzhou camp for the time being.
However, even in addition to using Xi Chang and Guo Nuer to divide the power of Zhao Kuo, in addition to the Xuzhou camp accepting the control of Tian Cheng in Canglang City, the ten team leaders of the Xuzhou camp are all served by Zuosi's elite scouts. The following are
The chief and corps commander also mostly chose people from the Xi clan, but Han Qian still asked Zhao Wuji to help him keep an eye on Zhao Kuo so that he could leave with peace of mind.
