"It would be great if I could get a Death Fighter. This old guy is really stable."
Picking up the telescope and watching the Chu army retreat in an orderly manner, Commissioner Li felt a little pity.
For the first time, he didn't kill his direct opponent. Thinking back when he was still Village Chief Li, that "Black Jiaosha" San Hei was deceived by him. Wasn't it just a matter of one blow?
But this fighting master is really stable.
Although the losses of the Chu army were not small, if we had to calculate them, they were not to the point of breaking their muscles and bones. The Chu soldiers who were captured and killed were really not "professional".
Commissioner Li counted and found that there were only about fifty or sixty Chu warriors. The rest were migrant workers and small-town brothers who came here for high wages.
But it's quite unlucky. Who would have thought that the "Arrow-bearing Warrior" would be so incompetent, and would be blasted with a hammer in a home field like Dabie Mountain?
"General, why don't you send someone to assassinate you?"
"I don't know anyone in Chu State, otherwise I really want to kill this guy. Damn, he is definitely a good general. He was tricked by us twice, but his mentality didn't explode. He ran so steadily. He's a great guy. I'm sincere.
Convinced."
The next time we fight, I'm afraid this fighter won't be so easy to deal with.
With the background of the Chu State, it is hard to say what the result will be if Commissioner Li is slowly squeezed out of his living space in Huai River.
Tactical victory may be achieved through the soldiers' organization, physical fitness, and technical and tactical advantages, but no matter how powerful the soldier is, he has to eat. Commissioner Li is not sure that the farmer brothers on both sides of the Huai River will welcome the "rebels".
Who knows which temple the local farmers, savages, and Huaiyi worshiped.
Entering the public security war, the cost is too high for Commissioner Li to bear now, unless he plays "slaughter of farmers", but "slaughter of farmers" is also a double-edged sword. If you "slaughter farmers" feel good for a while, who will farm the land afterwards?
It's not necessary to relocate the manpower here, it's completely unnecessary to exchange injuries for death.
At the beginning, the old monster fought against the Chu State and defeated the Chu State, but finally withdrew from the Huaihe River Basin. To put it bluntly, the cost of "colonization" was so high that it made the old monster tremble.
Don't talk about Huaishang, Huaizhong, let's talk about Huaixia. The old monster is such an awesome person, he didn't even clean up Jiangbei. The investment cost is so high that it makes my liver hurt just thinking about it.
Why was Commissioner Li able to dig ditches and carry out large-scale construction in Biyang State before?
There are enough free laborers. Despite the "wartime control", the free laborers have no trouble working.
There's a good reason, it's a war, it's a serious matter.
But once the war is over, it will not work if we want free labor to work.
We are not from the same country, and you are not my king. Why should I have to do hard labor?
So after the Battle of Forced Yang ended, Commissioner Li had to pay.
If you don't pay, you have to use slaves. Fortunately, you won the battle and plundered many slaves, so you can successfully clean up the surrounding land of Biyang Kingdom.
The cultivated land that could be cultivated was cultivated.
The ditch that could be dug was dug.
This year's autumn grain will increase at least ten to twenty times in Yangguo, but it will plummet again next year, and it will definitely plummet. Because the population participating in agricultural labor will be cut in half again and again.
Even if advanced farming technology, advanced harvesting technology, and advanced threshing technology are used, it still consumes the agricultural population.
The most important thing is that even if agricultural production is managed a little more extensively, it will be another expense to meet the defense needs of neighboring countries.
This will eat up a lot of the agricultural population. After all, building cities, building docks, and building the Great Wall are basic operations.
Song State fell to Biyang State, twice.
But isn’t it possible for the Song State? With its population and territory, there are still two veterans in the world. The most important thing is that the Song State has a "strong grass" and its prime minister is Ziju, who is a man of great influence in the world.
, with a head and a good face.
With Dai Ju's reputation, he persuaded Wei Guo and Lu Guo to do a small favor. Is it difficult?
Therefore, even if the Biyang Kingdom, which had won two Biyang battles, was an important "base" for Commissioner Li, it still could not break away from the population. The Jianghuai land... was even more difficult.
But now that the battle has been won, Commissioner Li has no reason to pour cold water on the brothers. When it's time to be happy, you still have to be happy.
Even if we have to have another fight with the Chu State's "Arrow-bearing Soldiers", that will happen in the future.
Maybe Mr. Li's charm value has increased, and the broad masses of people in Jianghuai suddenly love him very much?
"But it's good, at least Suiguo won't be able to jump sideways repeatedly in the short term."
Commissioner Li smacked his lips and put down the telescope. Dou Shi, this guy, does have a trick. Pursuit is just harassment and will not continue to expand the results of the battle.
"General, are you suspicious of Sui Guo?"
"It is my son Sui Guo? Do I believe it so much?"
Li Jie, who was unhappy, suddenly slapped his head and said, "Damn it, speaking of my son, Shang Ji should give birth in two months, right? I've been out for so long?"
Then Li Jie patted his head again: "Damn it... the old monster is still alive, why isn't he dead?"
That Wang Sun Wei actually became the crown prince. In terms of impressions, he still had a little impression of Ji Wei, the Wang Sun.
Because he had never met Young Master Yin at that time, and everyone said that Young Master Yin who went to work for the "Nanchao clan" was the most capable fighter in the country, and he was also the mayor of the township, Li Jie, so of course he didn't accept it.
Can it hit?! Is my sledgehammer made of tofu?
Gongzi Yin didn't see it, but he saw his son. Among Gongzi Yin's sons, the one who looked most similar to him was Wang Sunhui.
Therefore, Li Jie remembered Ji Hui for no other reason.
Now the news came from Gusu through the Huai River that Ji Fei had become the prince. Commissioner Li thought that after returning to Gusu, he, the "brother" who carries the king's secret decree, would have to deal with all kinds of dissatisfaction.
"Hehe... By the time I go back to see my son, maybe the old monster has already burped. By then, I will be 'Prime Minister Cao', and I will kill anyone who disobeys. Isn't that a pleasure?"
After touching his head, Li Jie said, "Continue to keep an eye on Doushi, and we will withdraw. Has the news from Lingguan been confirmed?"
"It has been determined that Dou Bomei, the doctor there, will take a detour to the southeast and return to Quanyi."
"This man's name is so arrogant, Douhuang, and his nickname is Bomei. Why doesn't his name be Teddy? Why is it Bomei?"
"??????"
Jiang Wen, who didn't understand at all, knew that the boss was talking nonsense again, so he was not surprised.
However, Jiang Wen remembered something and said to Li Jie: "General, I rode here before and said that Dr. Cai and Chen An were crossing the river to surrender. Counting the time, it has been two days. At this moment, there should be news."
Seeing Jiang Wen's worried look, Li Jie was a little surprised: "What are Awen worried about?"
"Cai Mei is a Cai person after all. If this is a plot, I'm afraid Chen An will be trapped in Cai's land and won't be able to escape."
"What are you afraid of?! If Chen An falls in Cai, I will go and rescue him personally. Then I will perform "Saving Private Chen An". After returning to Suzhou, I will ask the actors to perform this for me every day."
"..."
Jiang Wen, who was suffering from egg pain, looked depressed. He knew his boss had this attitude.
However, he had no choice but to say seriously: "General, after the water flooded Xincai, the sheep and tongues gathered summer grain. Now in the city of Xincai, there was plenty of grain at that time. It will be extremely difficult to conquer Xincai. Xincai is still stable, I'm afraid
Chen An's attempt to cross the river to recruit surrender may not go smoothly."
"It doesn't matter, as long as we can recruit as many as we want, we have a good reputation... Haha."
Commissioner Li sneered at himself. He was not good-looking to begin with, but when he sneered, his face became even more ferocious. The slave workers who were busy nearby were all trembling with fear when they saw him sneer like this.
"This Chua Mei is over seventy years old. He is really sick. Who does he think he is? Who would give him face when he even offered to help recruit and surrender an old guy with one foot in the coffin? It will cause chaos, but it can just make Chen An
Being familiar with a career outside of the military can be considered a good thing."
After a pause, Commissioner Li said even more thoughtfully, "If that old guy can successfully recruit him to surrender, I will have no problem playing him a trick on him."
