"The wind rises at the end of the green grass and ends in the grass."
When Li Jie received the information about the Dabie Mountains, he suddenly said this sentence when facing Gong Shuqin.
The old uncle originally thought of sending a chicken letter to see if the boss could give me some food. Suddenly, the boss made a sly remark, and his waist flashed, almost belching on the spot.
Gong Shuqin, the official of the Six Kingdoms, noticed the movements of the British family. The problems in the whole of Britain are also complicated now. They are both afraid of Chu and love Chu.
He was afraid of being beaten by the Chu State, but also liked to work with the Chu State.
At this moment, the Dou family suddenly came into contact with the Ying family. As an old landowner in Huainan, it was impossible for the Six Kingdoms to know anything about it.
Gong Shuqin immediately went from Liaocheng to Baiyi.
When he passed by Jiang State, the people of Jiang State wanted to stay with him for dinner, but he declined directly.
The way to politely refuse is to rely on the fact that you have more people.
From Gong Shuqin's point of view, the Dou family had contacted many forces this time and were preparing to besiege Huaishang and Li Jie.
However, County Magistrate Li was not in a hurry. From the moment he forced Yang State to come out, unless Chu State joined forces with Cai State early on, there would be no chance.
Without deploying defensive fortifications in advance, and failing to win over international allies in advance, the temple had a big problem, and it would be very difficult to reverse it based on specific tactics.
When County Magistrate Li set out from Biyang State to pledge his loyalty, he first made his voice known internationally.
With righteousness in hand, I went to attack Cai State to support Xu State. The evidence is very simple. The people of Xu State are forcing Yang State, and they asked me for help.
Secondly, relying on the general trend of the Wu-Jin Alliance, ordinary powerful countries dare not make a stab at it, nor dare they jump out and say that they will support Cai Guo. The gap in hard power is too big and they are not on the same level.
In the end, the determination of the will to fight was different. County Magistrate Li focused on the project of attacking Cai. This was a big job, and his subordinates also wanted to save some money for the New Year, so they couldn't be idle.
But the Chu State was different. Yun Zhenluo, a veteran Chu State aristocrat, was not mentally prepared for a military struggle. When he ran away at the first opportunity, the outcome was already doomed.
The external weakness brought about by Chu's internal strife was not a decline in specific military strength, but rather confidence.
In the past, when the Chu State used military force, there was never any problem with the financial support from the central government to the local governments.
This situation of Zhoulaicheng is a situation where a few Chu states have formed an "isolated army". Even Liaocheng and Baiyi are in a similar situation.
There is no rear area, or the rear area cannot provide support and can only hold on.
This kind of "lone army" will be defeated if it is defeated. In the end, if it is exhausted, it will be killed by the strong ones.
County Magistrate Li said that the wind started at the end of Qingping, and he was indeed right. He said that the wind started at the end of Qingping and finally turned into a sandstorm.
But when these words fell into Uncle Qin’s ears, they were quite shocked.
The old uncle is not Shang Wuji, Ji Ba and Ying Jian are not very familiar with County Magistrate Li. What they have always heard is how brave and barbaric the strong men of the Wu Kingdom are.
It came suddenly, and it really hit my waist. I couldn't bear it.
"The general's words are sincere and reasonable."
"What's the truth? This is the law of nature. Have you heard of the 'butterfly effect'?"
"..."
After listening to Li Jie's talk for a long time, I didn't understand anything. My old uncle remembered the sentence "from the beginning of Qingping's end" and thought about teaching it to his children and grandchildren after he went back.
Look at the macho men. They are so famous and are still learning. This is the demeanor that a gentleman should have.
After synthesizing the intelligence, Li Jie once again summoned the captains of each brigade.
In the conference hall, Li Jie explained the specific information first. The captains were all frowning. They were rushing to harvest summer grain. They were about to get busy with small farming. They had to plant a crop of rice. What to eat in the autumn?
this.
The land on Huaishang, especially the alluvial plain between Ru River and Huai River, is quite fertile. The two major forces entrenched here are Baiyi, the forward base of the Chu State, and the Xi State.
However, since the main force of Xi State is not in the country, and Li Jie has led the Huaishang Kingdom to form the "Justice Alliance", after defeating Song State, he will attack Cai State. Of course, Cai State has an excuse to strike first.
As a result, all the kings of Xiguo were invited by Marquis Cai as guests. We don't know when they will come back. It could be three to five days, or it could be seven or eight years. In short, it depends on the situation.
Since Xihou was not at home, someone had to look after the house, so Caihou sent six to seven thousand troops to Xicheng. The main purpose was to warn Chu State and Li Jie.
As a result, I didn't see what happened to Chu State. Li Jie had already pushed all the way over.
Zhoulaicheng, Liaocheng, Baiyi, and the important strongholds of the Chu State on both sides of the Huai River were all uprooted.
Prior to this, Li Jie had passed by boat, took the road Liu Chao, crossed Pengli and entered the Yangtze River. The main transportation was prisoners of war.
A large number of people were transported downstream before the great flood.
Jiangyin City is extremely busy. After my uncle Shang Wuji returned to Jiangyin, he hardly had any time to rest and worked overtime all the time.
If you don’t work overtime, what’s the point of tens of thousands of slaves? If you’re not careful, it could lead to big trouble.
Reorganizing "Baisha", strengthening river embankments, reclaiming land from lakes, and building cities in the north of the Yangtze River all required a lot of labor.
Shang Wuji did not accurately count the population in Li Jie's territory, but because of the special system of Jiangyin City, there was no distinction between Chinese and barbarians, as long as they were human beings, they were counted.
Coupled with the birth of paper, management was much easier, and Shang Wuji could also initially summarize a population data.
Counting "Baisha", Jiangbei Prisoner of War Camp, Huaiyi, slaves, and slave laborers, the total number of people affected by Li Jie's direct management may have exceeded 500,000.
When this number came out, my uncle Shang Wuji couldn't stop his heart from beating.
According to the boss's estimate, Gusu has a population of about 350,000, which is enough to play a strategic decisive battle.
But now, Shang Wuji also received the news. Li Jie went all the way west and started fighting along the Huai River. He actually pinned the famous generals of Chu State on both sides of the Huai River to the ground and rubbed them.
Yun Zhenlu, a doctor from Lianzhou, became an "escape doctor".
Three battles and three victories, Yun Zhenlu was captured alive, and the warrior's son was beheaded in formation.
County Magistrate Li was obviously not satisfied with playing hide-and-seek with the Chu State. Although he insisted on playing golf these days, he still wanted to have a fight with the Chu State Doushi.
"It is natural for all the countries on the Huai River to be frightened when they see the mighty power of our army. Now that they have invited the Chu State for reinforcements, they must take precautions against our army."
After Jiang Wen, the captain of the second brigade, said this, he looked around and said, "The rest of the coalition forces cannot be trusted!"
With different organizational structures, it is inherently difficult to win each other's trust. But now that one party is so strong, it would be abnormal for the weak party to have no defensive mentality at all.
After all, he came from Qi State's "martial arts" background. Jiang Wen used his surname to declare his origin. He used to hang out in Zishui, worked as a retainer, and also worked as a sword-wielding warrior, but he was never reused, and in the end
Hong was wandering outside, and he went to Biyang country with his brothers by accident.
Originally, I just wanted to make a living, and if I could cheat a good meal from Li Jie, I'd get him down. But I cheated and cheated, and I rose from an elite soldier to a captain, and then to a squad leader, a squadron leader, and a senior captain all the way up.
Now that you have been promoted, let's continue working. The boss is in charge of the food anyway, and the food provided to the officers by the general is quite good.
In the past, brothers Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu did not dare to tell the truth when they asked someone to go back to their hometown to trick fellow villagers into joining them. They only said that there was meat to eat here every month.
In fact, there is meat to eat every three days, and the officers take care of it. The only pity is that it is not allowed to be wasted, and it is not allowed to be taken home.
In the "Yi Dan Camp", waste is a major sin, and the whip crackles when whipped, which is very exciting.
In order to eat meat, Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu didn't care about anything else. What did they want from Qihou? What did they want to become famous in Zishui? I had ribs to eat at "Yidanying". Isn't the ribs... delicious?
In order to prepare ribs, Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu had to work hard for the boss.
"What my old uncle said is that the Ying family, Chiang Kai-shek and their ilk were the ones who informed me. Since my army entered Baiyi, many local nobles have reported on them. Undercover and covert investigations, I found that the Sui and Tang countries were not following the orders of their generals. Especially, especially
According to the country, the number will be carefully calculated, I'm afraid there will be more than a few."
Chen Kui, who had been looting outside Xicheng, had the most say in this matter. The fourth brigade organized continuous looting and discovered this matter.
A large number of special operations were carried out with the country, and in conjunction with some special operations of the Tang Dynasty, they pretended to be disaster victims, savages, merchants, warriors... and explored the movements of the "rebels" on both sides of the Huai River.
Had it not been for Chen Kui's alertness on the whistle and the righteous determination to serve, he would not have been able to observe the details.
This was an unexpected surprise, but it also calmed down all the captains in the conference room.
The excitement of three battles and three victories made them somewhat proud, and Li Jie did not say anything about suppressing the arrogance of the arrogant soldiers, but continued to add fuel to the flames, making the "rebels" almost arrogant.
Now the captains of each brigade took the initiative to cool down their minds, which somewhat surprised Li Jie.
"How to break the situation?"
Li Jie asked directly.
"There is no need to worry about the weak ones in Huaishang. Only the Dou clan of Chu State is a strong enemy."
"If so, it's the same old rules."
Chen Kui looked around. The captains around him also had firm eyes. They bowed to Li Jie and clasped their fists: "General, capture the thief first and capture the king first!"
