The most important thing is that Qingshui City has encountered a forced expropriation, and the food of merchants and large households has been basically plundered. [26nbsp;] Now, the eldest prince asked the soldiers to plunder, and the target was all the residents, and it was not even at all.
What kind of food is left for those people? The residents in the city naturally fought desperately. The families who knew the news were trying every means to hide their food. There were conflicts between the troops and residents in many places across the city, and the residents were naturally the ones who suffered losses.
However, there are only three county cities in Wuhu. Nearly 20,000 of the soldiers in the city come from the territory of Qingshui City, thousands of whom are from Qingshui City. The plunder of the residents' food in Qingshui City was immediately caused by these soldiers.
With great dissatisfaction, the morale of the army was inevitably rioted, and even a small-scale internal strife occurred.
After the food was burned, the eldest prince hurriedly recruited three deputy generals to discuss countermeasures, and the deputy who always regarded himself as a think tank said: "Big Prince, think about it, the enemy is willing to take the risk to go to the city to burn grain, it is obvious that he wants to
Force us to go out of the city to fight them. The more we do this, the less we cannot let the enemy do what they want, otherwise we will inevitably fall into the trap of the enemy."
"Big Prince, I saw that there seemed to be a new team from the enemy camp in the past few days. They have never attacked so far. They must have known that the damage to the siege was huge, and they were waiting for us to be unable to stand leaving the city to fight them. We
But there is no need to go out. Anyway, we are now guarding the city and living comfortably in our own city, but they stay in the wilderness, so we are not afraid of dragging it out."
"The most important thing now is to solve the problem of food and grass. As long as there is enough food and grass, we will defend the city. The enemy troops will leave their hometown for a long time, and the army will definitely be homesick. Moreover, there is a threat of An Jiguo behind the enemy, which will be difficult to last.
When the enemy retreats, the enemy will be defeated, and it will not be difficult to take advantage of the situation to capture Qingtioxin."
This deputy general is still known for his intelligence in the military headquarters, and the suggestions he made are indeed reasonable. He did not have first-hand information and had a large deviation in the judgment of the troops in the enemy camp, so he naturally inevitably came to wrong conclusions. However, in
If you don’t know the enemy’s situation, you really cannot attack recklessly. If Xu Sancai was not sure of his risk, he wouldn’t have taken risks easily.
The other two deputy generals finally agreed with this opinion, so the eldest prince adopted the opinions of the three, closed the four city gates, and sent two teams of 100 to the other two cities for help. However, the 1,000 cavalry led by Xu Sancai was one thousand cavalrymen, led by Xu Sancai.
Just intercepted halfway, the two hundred teams naturally ended up being wiped out.
The prince waited for three days in Qingshui City but did not wait for reinforcements. The food in the city could no longer satisfy the garrison. Each soldier could only give less than half a kilogram of food a day. At the same time, the troops sent grain concessions to the city every day to plunder all food.
The residents in the city also had to have a meal, so conflicts between the residents and soldiers in the city, soldiers from Qingshui City and soldiers from the grain collection team continued to occur.
The eldest prince could not wait any longer and sent two teams of thousands to the two cities for help. Although the roads between the cities had been destroyed, the cavalry had no baggage and could still pass. Xu Sancai had only one thousand cavalry, and although the attack was scattered, he
It is not impossible to win with less, but the casualties of soldiers must be serious, and it is impossible to wipe out the opponent completely.
