"You think you are just a son of the Li family, and you regard all the heroes in the world as reckless. However, when you are a general, commanding troops and running the army, you do not know the civil affairs, so you cannot talk about the combination of strength and softness..."
The old man in green robe was sitting in an open-top carriage with an umbrella covering the top, holding back a violent cough. He was talking to Li Xiu and Li Qi who were riding horses next to him. Yun Puzi looked at Nantang Village.
Standing among the peaks, under the sunlight, it seems to be coated with a layer of golden light.
Although there were still 4,000 to 5,000 old, weak, women and children who were scattered within ten miles to the north, more than 20,000 Lishui County residents still marched to the south of Nantang Village within the three days agreed by Han Qian.
The Chuzhou Army and the Nanya Forbidden Army sent scouts from the left and right flanks. They also knew that the elite Chishan Army was stationed in Nantang Village. They stopped twenty miles away and stopped advancing.
Afterwards, as long as Gu Zhilong, the governor of Xuanzhou, did not send troops from Langxi and Xuancheng rashly sent troops, and the people of Lishui County evacuated to the area east of Langxi, there would be no problems.
Under the supervision of Feng Yi, Zhang Ping and others, Li Pu finally made up his mind to deploy the Qiuhu Army's Second Capital Army, which was mainly composed of soldiers from aristocratic families, to the periphery, and also organized a group of small and capable troops from the direct lineage of the First Capital Army.
The law enforcement personnel forced the people of Lishui County, who were mainly young people from various families, to throw away their bloated and cumbersome things. They pushed some of the families' overly gorgeous but clumsy and wide carriages into ditches on the side of the road, or used them to fill in the road along the way.
of ravines.
Whether as hostages or as a burden to the advancing team, the direct descendants of various families, often surrounded by a crowd of women and young children who serve closely, are forcibly extracted from the large, slow-moving army.
We walked along the post road first and saw them off along the trail. The chaotic team immediately became smoother.
More importantly, Han Qian sent people to use the abandoned campsites and set up four fixed temporary rest and recuperation places along the way. Any delay or hesitation on the way was strictly prohibited. Anyone who violated the rules would be decisively driven off the main road. Occasionally, some arrogant people dared to take over.
Those who make noise and cause trouble will be beaten with sticks without hesitation...
The chaotic procession of more than 20,000 Lishui County residents soon became smooth and the speed accelerated much.
Of course, there is another key reason. The more than 20,000 Lishui County residents are mainly children of various families and their personal servants. There are even a considerable number of old and young children, women and children, and the personal servants are not familiar with pen and ink, and they are immersed in it.
Those who know how to abide by the rules are much easier to organize than the people at the bottom.
Han Qian took Lin Haizheng, Zhao Wuji, Kong Xirong, Wei Chang and other Chishan Army's first capital, guard camp and the main generals who had retreated to Nantangzhai's cavalry camp to stand in front of Nantangzhai, waiting for Li Yu's carriage to arrive.
.
Han Qian wore a leather armor with a simple scabbard tied around his waist. His long hair was simply tied behind his back with no other decorations. He was as simple as jade. Standing by the roadside, he saw Li
When he met Li Qi, Yao Xishui reluctantly walked over with the help of Yao Xishui. He approached Li Yu and Yun Puzi, who was dressed as a Taoist priest and had an air of immortality, bowed and said: "Han Qian respectfully welcomes the prince of the county and the envoy of the palace!"
This period of time almost drained Li Yu of his last bit of energy. He opened his cloudy eyes and sighed after a while: "'It’s ridiculous that the Chu River is empty, but it can’t wash away the grievances of the direct ministers.'"
Li Yu's words are a famous poem by the poet monk of the previous dynasty praising the Chu minister Qu Yuan.
Han Qian smiled and said: "My father died generously without thinking about his name before and after his death, and Han Qian will not be limited to this."
Yao Xishui saw that Han Qian had directly revealed Yun Puzi's identity as soon as they met. He thought that his secret concern for Shenling Division's latent forces in Jianghuai was indeed beyond their imagination, and he secretly wondered where the two riddles between Han Qian and Li Yu were going.
Li Xiu and other young generals of the Li family, they have been on one side these days and have fought in several battles without losing a single victory. However, at this time, they had to lead the people of Lishui County to take refuge in the Chishan Army. They were somewhat unwilling to accept it and secretly looked at Han Qian.
The generals of the Chishan Army behind him saw Han Donghu, who had cut off Liu Zishu's arm three days ago and was escorted to Nantang Village by Zhao Wuji for accountability. At this time, he was standing behind Han Qian in neat clothes. He thought that Han Qian was indeed a protector.
Lord.
Of course, the Liu Zishu who was injured was a member of the Lishui families, and the Lishui families had no room to struggle for the time being if they could bear this tone, so it was not their turn to step up to the plate.
Li Yu was in poor health and should not stand for a long time under the increasingly hot sun. He, Yun Puzi and other idle personnel first went to the temporary camp hastily built by the Qiuhu Army on the west side of Nantang Village to rest.
After Li Yu left, Han Qian formally greeted the gloomy-looking Li Pu, Wei Zhen, Yao Xishui, and Qiuhu Army generals Li Xiu, Li Qi, Wei Huang and others.
"Han Donghu, take off your armor." Han Qian said to Han Donghu behind him.
Han Donghu took off his armor and turned around. His bare and muscular back revealed several criss-crossing bloody whip marks that would have become even more ferocious without medicine.
"Han Donghu brought people into the friendly camp without reporting and caused a disturbance. According to the law, he should be punished with ten whips. He should be demoted as a military officer and registered as a reserve soldier in the cavalry camp. Please check it with Lord Li and Lord Wei." Han Qian calmly said.
Wei Zhen said to Li Pu.
Of course Li Pu and Wei Zhen could see the hateful whip marks on Han Donghu's back, but was this the end of the matter?
Li Pu looked at Wei Zhen. When he saw Han Qian at this time, the most urgent thing was to discuss the resettlement of more than 20,000 Lishui County residents, mainly members of various families. He had no way to get entangled in the details, but he didn't know that Wei Zhen was willing to
Unwilling to accept such a result.
The veins on Wei Zhen's forehead twitched several times before she suppressed the evil energy in her heart. She raised her old face, cupped her hands towards Han Qian and asked, "Master Han's laws are very strict and his military power is intact.
Wei admires..."
People under the eaves have to lower their heads. Compared with those glaring family members, Wei Zhen has been struggling in the world for half a lifetime. He has seen the chaos of war across the river, witnessed the rare turmoil in Jinling in the past ten years, and also seen
Qingliu of the past family was so weak and vulnerable in front of the bloody warrior.
Even if the Lishui family is twisted into a rope, it will be difficult to stop the Chishan Army's troops. What's more, they have no ancestral property to rely on and no strong city to defend. They are no different from the homeless army in a mess. They still want to rely on Chishan Army.
The army has established a foothold at the northern foot of Fuyu Mountain. What evil spirit cannot be swallowed?
Wei Zhen could bear this bad breath, and Li Pu was even more noncommittal. He followed Han Qian into the simple meeting hall of Nantangzhai and directly raised the issue of resettlement of Lishui County residents.
The Chishan Army has nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the Qiuhu Army has 3,000 elites. Although it cannot bear too many casualties in a short period of time, it does not have the extra supplies to attack Langxi, Xuancheng, Changxing, Anji and other Xuanhu areas.
It is a strong city guarded by state soldiers, but there is no problem in controlling the entire territory of Guangde Old County between Langxi and Anji.
The old territory of Guangde, including the mountains at the northern foot of Fuyu Mountain and the hills at the southern foot of Jieling Mountain, was almost sixty or seventy miles deep.
Li Pu did not want to be completely dependent on the Chishan Army, so the Qiuhu Army and the people of Lishui County wanted to gain a foothold in this area.
The Chishan Army was under great pressure to protect nearly 300,000 old, weak, women and children. Han Qian had no intention of making things difficult for Li Pu. When he entered Nantang Village, he spread out the detailed map of the old Guangde County that had been made recently on a long table and pointed to
The southern foot of Jieling Mountain is located in a valley basin with a radius of seven or eight miles between Jinzhong Ridge and Xuanjiao Ridge. It says:
"This place is called Sitian Dun. It is located at the southeastern foot of Jieling Mountain and belongs to Changxing County, Huzhou. The Xu family was its chief commander and built a fort. At this time, there were more than 400 soldiers. Although the land is wide and low, there are ravines.
Zongheng has more than 10,000 acres of cultivated land, and is surrounded by precipitous mountains that are difficult to defend and difficult to attack. If you go north to Zhuomuling, you can enter Yangyang County, Runzhou. If you go east, you can go to Xuanjiao Ridge, and you can enter Changxing County, Taihu Lake, and Qiuhu Army.
According to this, you can hunt mountain goods and stream fish to satisfy your hunger, you can raise food from Yangyang and Changxing County, and you may be able to survive the period of hunger..."
The Chishan Army was burdened with providing food for nearly 300,000 old, weak, women, and children. Han Qian would not take over the important task of providing food for the Qiuhu Army and more than 20,000 Lishui County residents, and demarcate the four fields within the southern foot of Jieling Mountain.
To Qiuhu Mountain, he also hopes that there will be less interference with each other. At the same time, Sitian Dun also needs the Qiuhu Army to send its own elite to attack it. At most, he can provide some intelligence support.
Li Pu lowered his head to study the terrain map. Although it was still more than a hundred miles away from Nantangzhai to Jinzhongling, more than 20,000 Lishui County residents were currently within the area controlled by the Chishan Army. There was no need to worry about losses in the short term.
The 3,000 elite troops of Qiuhu Army are free to attack Sitian Dun.
However, this also means that the Qiuhu Army broke up with the local forces in Huzhou before the Chishan Army.
Of course, apart from that, they have no better choice.
Regarding the specific advance plan and whether it was necessary to secure a foothold at Sitian Dun and retreat to summon the generals of the Qiuhu Army to discuss in detail, Li Pu had other questions to ask Han Qian and looked into his eyes and asked:
"You summoned an envoy and led the Chishan Army to withdraw from the outskirts of Jinling without even saying hello. How do you plan to explain it to Yueyang and His Highness?"
"The thirty thousand generals of Chishan Army and the three thousand elites of Qiuhu Mountain are all loyal to His Highness and Yueyang. Isn't that an explanation?" Han Qian looked at Li Pu and asked calmly, "If you can't save yourself, what's the point?
Cruel rebellion? The Lord Marquis led the Qiuhu Army to withdraw. He must have understood these principles, so why bother asking?"
The veins on Li Pu's forehead were twitching and twitching, and he was cursing in his heart, you are selling horses, you are selling horses, I don't want to be tricked to death by you, but it has become proof of your wisdom, prowess, and inexhaustible strategies?
