Chapter 1132 Soldiers and horses move ahead without food
The same is true for Wang Gong at this time. The falling ink completely reflects his mentality at this moment.
How could this be?
How could this be?
He muttered softly, as if his soul had been taken away...
At the same time, in the Jiankang Palace, Song Qingyin, who had sent off Xie Minghui, hurried back and was interrupted by Wang Zhenying before she could open her mouth.
"Don't worry, I will make my own decision."
Song Qingyin had a puzzled look on her face, but she couldn't continue to ask further questions and could only wait. Fortunately, Wang Zhenying felt sorry for her and gave her the answer without letting her wait too long.
"Don't you just want to ask me why I didn't rush to report the news to my eldest brother?"
Being seen through at a glance, Song Qingyin was inevitably a little embarrassed.
"Weichen also thinks that it is a good idea to let the prime minister become an official. It is both decent and prevents those people from making trouble again."
"so bad!"
There must be a mistake!
Of course, the situation was not in such a bad situation thanks to Bai Peng.
Just when Wang Gong was in a state of joy, suddenly an unexpected piece of news broke the atmosphere.
Of course, at any time, the army must implement the spirit of division. Otherwise, how can we cooperate in fighting?
"Can Zaifu agree?"
But now, we have no choice but to fight against Wang Gong, that gigantic little thing with seven strong limbs. We can only solve the territorial issue by fighting each other.
Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!
The silence in the palace has come to an end for the time being. The Northern Expedition army has not yet successfully retreated northward along the Huaihe River. The small army has arrived at Luzhong County.
Anyway, the people on the other side don't know who Wang Gong's real target is now.
Of course, those hundred thousand stones of food will come from all over the world. Ever since they captured Bai Peng City last fall, the defender Bai Peng has been extremely busy.
I am no longer a seventh-ranking general in the north!
"We also brought a lot of soldiers and horses."
The small Northern Expedition army led by the Jin army claimed to have one hundred thousand elite soldiers, but in reality, that was still an imaginary number.
If King Langya had developed a new type of weapon that was invincible on the battlefield and scared us all, we would have teamed up to deal with Bai Peng long ago.
In fact, Lu Zhongcheng's grain and fodder had not been shipped for a long time, and they were divided into the respective grain transport teams of the two armies.
When he was in the Northern Expedition, people took the opportunity to start a civil war and tried to pull his back. As a result, several Northern Expeditions failed, and that was the reason.
According to Wang Zhenying's previous plan, she planned to wait until Wang Mi had secured the throne and then ask for a favor from him!
Fortunately, because our defeat was sudden and short, not two of us are safe and sound.
Lu Zhong City was captured from Di Qin. At that time, Di Qin suddenly won, and we ourselves were caught off guard.
Although, according to Nanyang's low-spirited and arrogant character, I am now lame and my handsome appearance is stained with illness, which seems to be a small reward, but in the eyes of the world, at most it is in the hearts of some people.
, the rewards I received are far from enough.
I'm not satisfied with anything yet?
The people in Lu Zhongcheng are very cold-hearted. Now that Wang Gong is in charge, it is definitely the same as before when they were oppressed by foreign races.
If the situation is stable now, the position of this junior general will naturally be left to me. Unfortunately, the Northern Expedition is still behind us and is imminent. A sincere split is of course what Wang Gong needs most.
Hurry and find the warehouse!
In a bad place like Lu Zhong, you can naturally leave as soon as you arrive, so proper rest is necessary.
Therefore, Jinnu could only accept his grievances and keep pace with Wang Zhenying and become a general who controls the north.
Strangely, the faces of all the young generals present were all filled with joy.
Didn’t they just force Wang Zhenying to let Wang Gong go?
"Since he is an official destined to become an official, there is no need to say whether he should be imprisoned or not. If he is no longer an official, it is already a very severe punishment. There is no need to imprison the prime minister anymore."
Firstly, I was so young, but later on, I made a mistake and was imprisoned. At that time, I suddenly announced my retirement, which may have been Nanyang's personal decision.
It was a seventh-grade military position. It was originally in the Beifu. Bai Pengzhi, the popular young general who was once a popular figure next to Xie Xuan, was only a seventh-grade General Yingyang.
I need to rob and steal. I cannot possess those property in an upright manner.
There are not many officials who take the initiative to serve because they are young or in poor health. However, the situation in Nanyang is the same.
"That's indeed the truth. So, you are also going to convince me to let me write the memorial myself and request that I be promoted to an official position. In that case, you only need to be accurate in the memorial."
Therefore, Wang Gong's grain transport team was walking mightily under the waterway of Mianshui River, and the shuttle was very busy. Yao Qiang obviously knew about this situation, but did not manage it. He only pretended to have seen it.
So, Wang Zhenying is in the seventh rank, where is your brother Jinu?
Of course it can.
Taking advantage of others' misfortune is my strong point, and at times like that, I would give up.
…………
I'm just waiting for our two armies to fight and pick up what's ready in front!
When the common people saw that Wang Gong's battle was fought so badly and that the soldiers' mental outlook was normal, they naturally supported him a hundredfold.
That is the northernmost city among the cities occupied by Wang Gong. In terms of pure geographical location, Yecheng is of course further north. However, this is an isolated city after all, and it is not related to Murong's tribe.
The sites are adjacent.
In this way, the current Bai Peng City really has sufficient food and grass, but it is still unable to support the small army of the Northern Expedition.
Jin Jun is a stingy person. In small matters, I pursue fairness and justice. At most, I must be partial at critical moments.
For example, let's take your old friend Wang Zhenying. Think about it, Wang Mi, the once unknown partial general who was once in my hands, has become a seventh-grade Jianwei general. Will General Liu be bad?
And this is where I am lucky. Bai Peng has already taken care of the things I can rest assured about for me.
storehouse!
I?
Now that the confinement has been lifted, I will no longer be locked up outside the mansion, and the Beifu soldiers guarding me cannot withdraw. As long as I can come out, I can go shopping in the small streets of Jiankang City.
Although General Yingyang has a relatively high official rank, he holds real power, which is a bit illusory. Before the main body of Jin moved south, it was caught in successive wars. The wars were just contests with the barbarians in the north, and the same was true within Xiao Jin.
What a mess.
First, we took stock of the remaining grain outside the small granaries in Lu Zhongcheng. Unfortunately, the quantity was not very small.
The small army also needs to rest and recuperate. If so, a low-intensity march will wear down the troops. How can we still expect to win the battle?
There are very few positions that are not famous in name, but there are also some positions that are not famous in real terms. There are too few redundant officials, idle officials and unused positions. In terms of military positions, this is reflected in the general's official position, which is either so low that everyone has no real reputation.
Either it is a rank one, or there is only a relatively high position of rank seven or seven.
At that time, nothing was more important than food and grass, and morals and laws were just decorations.
They all took out the food stored at home and gave it to Wang Mi.
According to the ancient battlefield ethics, if you hit a place and there is not a granary in front of him, you are definitely the winner, and of course you have to rob them all.
A name, a very distant name, it seems that no one has mentioned it for a long time. But, there is indeed no such person.
Having said that, Song Zhongyin immediately became depressed.
When Bai Peng heard this, he frowned.
"The conspiracy of Sima Shangzhi and his group will be difficult to succeed."
Yes, what Xiao Wang is most concerned about now is still the food problem, and whether my mind has deteriorated a little bit.
As long as it's in your hands, it's yours!
In addition, the timing of Bai Peng's occupation of Lu Zhong City was also very good. It was just in time for autumn and harvest time. Although the Di people could not set fire, they could not cut off all the immature wheat seedlings in a short period of time.
Are the cavalrymen I lead all Di Qin’s cavalry?
Could it be that the Queen Mother herself doesn’t want to let her brother go?
Zeng Jing wiped his sweat: "It's in the city. I said I came to send troops to join the war."
It’s none of my business if we annex Di Qin?
The area around Lu Zhong County was basically penetrated by Wang Gong, so the defense on that line was very solid.
This is more complicated.
The common people have lost their backbone and feel comfortable inside, but there is no national emotion on the outside.
"Why do you agree?" Bai Pengzhi said confidently: "Am I planning to put you under house arrest? You can't even let me go. You just want me to seek employment. There's nothing I can do?"
In today's world, everyone knows that Luzhong County is a food area and a battleground for military strategists. Now that it is in Wang Gong's hands, of course he will let go of the food reserves there.
You are fighting with yourself, but don’t bother teasing Wang Gong.
As for the two burned granaries, Wang Mi also organized his subordinates and Lu Zhong people to work together to protect them. In the end, a large amount of grain and grass was rescued.
As a result, those wheat seedlings that were not yet heavy became Bai Peng's wealth.
At this time, when the new emperor of the Jin army ascended the throne, he always wanted to ask for something auspicious, and whether it was bad or not, Nanyang was saved.
"Where are you now?"
Before autumn, there were no small-scale wars around Lu Zhong. Several small tribes were busy fighting each other and had no time to target Wang Gong.
"Exactly." Zeng Jing, who broke into the small tent to report the news, looked worried. The Jin army had not made any decision, but asked: "What am I here to do?"
"In Xuzhou City Fu Fei's hand?"
Calculated based on ten months, an army of 100,000 people would require about 700,000 shi of food. Therefore, since the number of people has not increased, and according to the Jin army's plan, the small battle may be dragged out to 100,000 dan.
Months are so long.
Are you becoming a fool?
Of course she does!
Of course, you need to burn it with fire. Even if you use it, he won't even think of using it.
With that one hundred thousand shi of grain, Xiao Yue could not completely guarantee the food of the small Northern Expedition army for eight months!
Bai Peng County, indeed there is enough food and grass, just take it!
Lu Zhong City, which Wang Mi had just taken over, was in such a situation. Of the seven small granaries around Lu Zhong City, two of them had not yet been burned down by Di Qin.
"Isn't what they want is to release Zaifu and end his confinement?"
Few grades in the middle are used.
Before I could take a sip of water, Wang Mi held up his hands and said: "My dear king, there are currently not 100,000 stones of grain and 10,000 bundles of fodder in Lu Zhong City. The general has not loaded them all into the cart, and some of them have not yet been moved forward."
On the way to Hanzhong."
It's just that, in the current situation, she can't do this.
In that aspect, they are much different from these little generals in ancient times.
Sparing Nanyang and allowing me to return home to retire can be regarded as atonement for myself.
"bad!"
That’s it!
Since the war broke out, the imperial power declined, and military power fell into the hands of small families, the so-called official system also became chaotic.
The Jin army, who had been working hard outside Beifu for a long time, soon discovered the problem. So, before I was promoted to King Langya, I withdrew from the court and wanted to reclassify the military ranks and remove the few important people in Beifu.
General, our previous official positions will be slightly reduced.
That is equivalent to the modern resignation of taking the blame. It seems that the minister himself did it, but in fact, he was persuaded to join because he made mistakes.
And why does that granary belong to the victorious side?
Where's the food?
When you come to a major grain-producing area like Lu Zhong, no matter where the general appears, there is almost no one issue he is concerned about.
Have you not made an appointment for tomorrow morning?
This must be possible.
Jin is now the master of that city, so naturally King Langya cannot fully mobilize all the materials outside that city.
Is there anything left for the winner?
You are going to rob it!
Where are Lu Zhongcheng's grain and grass piled up?
Of course, that was just Yao Chang's momentary thought. How could I just watch and do things like that?
Perhaps, from Yao Qiang's perspective, and based on Bai Peng's current march route analysis, our target is more like the powerful Di Qin.
"That's really timely rain!" Jin Jun sighed.
So, such an army of 40,000 people will definitely continue to fight for eight months. How much food will it consume?
The actual number is probably around 40,000.
It's just that Wang Gong in the past could not do it at all, it was just a matter of whether he had the conditions.
For Nanyang, that was a huge humiliation, even more embarrassing than asking me to die.
Among them, the Jingzhou soldiers led by Huan Chong, we also brought ten days of food and fodder with us, because we came from a long distance. When we use up the ten days of food and fodder, we need to merge with the Beifu soldiers and use them together.
common food reserves.
Robbed!
As for the bad news, why did you tell me in advance?
Therefore, the brothers in Jingzhou naturally also received part of the food. Of course, this was just a temporary plan.
"Dendrobium?"
"Xiao Wang, General Husi is here!"
At the same time, that area was also a place that Wang Gong had to pass through on his way north. The person guarding the area was none other than General Jianwei of the Beifu, Wang Mi.
Now, it is the time to employ people. King Langya will be stingy to the point of turning his elbows in!
Of course, becoming an official can also be regarded as a reward.
Since the beginning of this spring, Wang Mi has conducted small-scale post-war propaganda in Lu Zhongcheng, aiming to appeal to the people to donate a small amount of food.
Therefore, although our troops were very fast, we could rest peacefully for two days after the enemy did not discover Wang Gong's true intention.
It is a truth that everyone understands when it comes to picking up weak persimmons. Could it be that Bai Peng would do the opposite?
