Chapter 845: Strictly prevent Di Qin from making trouble
"Is it necessary to handle it so carefully?"
"General Wang is really attentive." This was what Fu Zuan said from the bottom of his heart. Wang Mi nodded along with him: "Of course it is necessary."
"In the past, many cities were gained and lost because the planning was not thorough and the disposal methods were flawed."
"Now that our army has captured Yecheng, we have plenty of time. We plan to rest under Yecheng for a while first. Wouldn't it be good to take advantage of this period of time to do things better?"
"This is also a good thing for the Qin soldiers. The sudden change between the offensive and defensive sides is not easy for the soldiers on either side to accept."
"That's it." Fu Zuan muttered.
"It's really strange that you are not in a hurry to return to Jingkou."
Never seen it, really never seen it before.
Although Fu Zun's ability to lead troops is not strong, he is a veteran who has been fighting for more than ten years. In all these years, I have never seen a general spend so much energy on accepting prisoners.
.
"General Fu is curious?" Wang Mi said with a smile.
"really."
"Frankly speaking, I have never seen such a method of doing things before, and I don't know what the final situation will be like if you do this."
"I am indeed very curious. General Wang's style is also different from the generals I have seen before. I am very curious about what Yecheng will become under your leadership."
"The generals and soldiers of both armies will have their own arrangements. General Fu can also settle down in Yecheng for a period of time. When the army sets off, you can follow. There is no need to rush, we have plenty of time to take care of it."
alright!
Talk over!
No matter what Fu Zuan thinks, everything Wang Mi wants to explain has been explained. As for whether he accepts it or not, this is not the scope of his concern.
The reason why Fu Zuan was still talking so much was because no matter what, Fu Zuan was also the leader of Di Qin.
What he said was still more effective than what Jin Jun said.
If the Jin army's arrangements had Fu Zuan's cooperation, it would be easier to promote. This is all for the Jin army's own sake.
After Fu Zuan left, Wang Mi discovered that outside the general's tent, the He brothers, Liu Yu and others were already waiting for him.
These people did not come together, but in an order.
As a result, the expressions of the brothers are very different now.
Almost everyone heard Wang Mi's conversation, but because they came at different times, some people heard more and some heard less.
Some people were in the same boat as Wang Mi from the beginning, while some people never had the same temperament as Wang Mi.
Naturally, everyone has their own opinions on how he dealt with the Qin soldiers.
Seeing Fu Zuan leaving and being escorted into the large tent at the rear, several brothers rushed in at once.
Without waiting for Wang Mi's arrangement, the brothers spontaneously found their own places and sat down neatly.
"Zhiyuan, do you really plan to let the Qin soldiers stay behind?" He Mai smiled. Wang Mi glanced at him and immediately understood what he meant.
This is a boat of people!
As expected, the shrewd and dexterous He Amai can always keep the same pace with him on such matters and have a clear understanding of each other.
However, except for He Mai, the expressions of the other brothers were not so bright.
This is also normal. In their minds, Wang Mi's actions seemed to betray one of his own.
Wang Mi was not in a hurry and just drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat.
Next, you have to explain it carefully.
Now that I think about it, not everyone can do the job of being a general. It takes a lot of brains and saliva.
In fact, General Wang is the only one who is so tired, and other generals do not need to spend so much energy on their work.
With a wave of his hand, everything was done.
Whatever is yours and mine is mine.
Whether it's your army or my army, whether it's better for you or me, of course it can only be good for me.
This solves everything.
"That's what I was going to do."
"Everyone, what do you think?"
Although Wang Mi has decided to go his own way when it comes to dealing with prisoners of war and Yecheng, he still has to listen to what his friends say.
Wang Mi's eyes fell on Liu Yu, yes, it was him!
If there is someone in this military tent who wants to give him advice, it must be Liu Yu, and it cannot be anyone else.
Therefore, Wang Shilang's judgment was also very accurate. When the two people's eyes met, Liu Yu spoke.
"Zhiyuan, aren't you being too indulgent to Qin Bing by doing this?"
"What harm does this do to them?"
"Our officers and soldiers fought bravely against the enemy and suffered countless casualties. Could it be that what they get in exchange for it in the end is that they enjoy peace and happiness?"
"I don't accept it!"
"I believe that my soldiers will not be convinced either."
"Yecheng must not be handed over to the Di people!"
oh oh.
It turns out that this is what General Liu thinks.
That's okay, we can communicate.
If it is the kind of dependent faction that hopes to let Di people manage Di people and return Yecheng to Fu Zuan's control, then it will be troublesome.
"Jinu, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. I did not say that I would hand over Yecheng to the Qin soldiers. Don't worry, there will definitely be more Jin soldiers left than Qin soldiers."
"Besides, I don't know if you heard it just now, but Fu Zuan also reminded me that winter is coming soon, and it is very important for the soldiers to keep warm and keep out the cold. While the weather hasn't turned cold yet, let's go to Yecheng
Having it firmly in our hands also has its benefits."
Benefits Liu Yu naturally knew that there were no benefits in occupying such an important town as Yecheng, but having so many Qin soldiers in the city was really uneasy.
Before anything could be done, he had to explain the matter clearly to Wang Mi.
Ranre, Wang Mi could not think clearly about the things he could think of, let alone Wang Mi. After Liu Yu finished speaking, He Mai had already explained it to him.
"Slave, you don't know something. In fact, this plan is very good. I have thought about it a long time ago and it is very easy to implement."
"Besides, this arrangement is more secure."
"Amai, let's talk about it. I think we have the same idea." Compared with the two of them, Wang Mi's strategy is naturally more comprehensive. However, He Mai is an authentic Jin person. If he can do it himself
Once the matter is planned, it is naturally best for him to preside over it.
Wang Mi had already spoken, so He Mai certainly had no need to retreat.
He Mai strode forward, his whole body tense.
"With our current military strength, we can already overwhelm the Qin soldiers several times. We just ran all the way from Ye City, and we have a relatively clear grasp of the situation in the city. It seems that the defenders in the city are basically
It has not been affected yet. In fact, there are not many soldiers left in the city."
"Our army's attack is a pincer attack from the north and south. In order to deal with us, the generals of the Qin army must constantly mobilize their troops and horses to support each other. In this way, the soldiers in the city need a steady stream of reinforcements from the city."
"After our calculations, there are actually only more than 6,000 soldiers and horses in the city!"
"This is quite different from the number that Fu Zuan and the others have. I remember that they were clamoring before that there were at least 10,000 people in the city!"
"This is absolutely incorrect. They simply don't have that many troops anymore!"
Wang Mi was startled and said in a deep voice: "This is really a great discovery. It has been of great help, Amai!"
Six thousand people!
Only six thousand people!
This is definitely an astonishing discovery. In this way, the deployment in the city will be easier to spread!
"There are only so many people left in the city?"
Liu Yu was also shocked: "I was fighting fiercely outside the city. Seeing the continuous reinforcements of soldiers and horses in the city, I thought there were still many soldiers and horses in the city, and the Qin army had sufficient strength!"
"It turns out that this is just the end of a strong crossbow."
Liu Yu was very angry. If he had known this, he wouldn't have had to fight so hard. He could have just waited for the Qin soldiers to surrender.
This can't be blamed on Liu Yu, who kept him from attacking the city?
Since we have not attacked the city, we are naturally not familiar with the situation in the city. Seeing that there are many soldiers and horses near the city wall, we thought that the soldiers and horses in the city are also the same.
Who would have known that he would also be deceived by Di Qin!
"From this point of view, the total number of troops and horses on both sides of the city and outside the city is only about 10,000, not even that number." Wang Mi muttered.
"That's almost the number." Wang Mi agreed.
Moreover, there was another discovery on his side that his brothers did not have. Although the Jin army did not know the internal situation of the Qin soldiers, it was impossible for Di Qin himself not to know the inside story.
At this moment, you can understand why Fu Zuan surrendered in a timid manner even though he was in command of the army.
That's because he knew in his heart that there were not many Qin soldiers in the city!
And as Li Dalian surrendered in advance with his two thousand soldiers and horses, the few people under his command could not make a difference.
Since we are unable to fight anymore, we might as well surrender quickly while the situation is still good, so that at least it doesn't look so unbearable.
It turned out that this was what he had in mind.
"Amai, continue."
"Tell me your specific thoughts."
With these numbers, Wang Mi became more confident. He Mai must have a complete picture in his heart, and he had a plan!
"Actually, it's not that complicated. The Qin soldiers have very few troops, but the main force of our army has not been greatly damaged. Then we can place these Qin soldiers in Yecheng and then arrange our own troops.
Ma looked at them, our troops are strong enough, and these Qin soldiers can't do anything."
"Besides, I have also considered that our army can win consecutive battles not only because the quality of our soldiers has improved, but more importantly, our weapons are much better."
"Di Qin is not our opponent at all, but after this battle, our weapons have also been depleted a lot, and we must replenish them as soon as possible."
"This Yecheng is a traditional military town. There are quite a lot of iron materials, sulfur and other materials stored in the city. These things are great treasures!"
"Shouldn't we seize the time to produce weapons locally in Yecheng?"
"Not only Yecheng, but even the surrounding towns, those with a small area and small population, seeing that Yecheng is occupied by our army, there must be many people who are willing to surrender directly to me."
"There will also be a lot of iron, sulfur, and saltpeter in these towns. Wouldn't that be great?"
"yes!"
"You are absolutely right!"
Wang Mi's eyes suddenly became very bright. You see, this is how he came up with the solution. This is the reason why everyone is so enthusiastic about it.
"We really need to seize the time to build weapons in Yecheng. This is not only to make up for our shortcomings, but also to prepare for our next attack plan."
"Yecheng is just a small step. Next, Chang'an and Luoyang are our goals. But as you all know, it is absolutely impossible for us to transport weapons from Jingkou all the time. The long journey is not only inconvenient, but also prone to accidents.
Incident."
This is the case in war. It is always more cost-effective to prepare and use immediately than to transport it over long distances.
For example, when the later Yongle Emperor Zhu Di went on his northern expedition, he originally planned to transport grain and grass from afar to support the march of the large army.
However, later, as the journey to the north became farther and farther, long-distance transportation was obviously no longer suitable. So what should we do?
Zhu Di immediately changed his policy and adopted the method of collecting grain along the way and delivering it directly. This not only saved the farmers from transporting grain, but also prevented any gaps in the supply of the army.
This is the benefit of having a large territory.
In the past, the Jin Dynasty was located in the south of the Yangtze River, and logistical supplies had always been a problem. In the end, no solution was found until the demise of the Southern Dynasty.
Neither people nor things can be connected. This problem often does not occur in the northern court.
The road to their conquest was not short, on the contrary, it was very long. So why did they not seem to encounter such difficulties?
That's all because their soldiers are sharp and the battle is fought faster.
The war horses are in groups, rushing here and there. If they can't win, they can quickly shrink back. But if they win, it will be a great victory.
No delay on either side.
So for the current Jin army, a steady and steady attack is indeed their goal.
Use a town as a stronghold and continue to seize important surrounding strongholds to ensure logistical supplies. Only in this way can this reverse battle from south to north have a chance of success.
"Amai, your idea is very good, but you must also keep it confidential."
"As far as I know, the Qin soldiers are also very curious about our army's firearms. They also know that we can only win with the help of this artifact. As long as we make weapons in the city, they will definitely find ways to steal them.
We must take strict precautions and not let them succeed."
"I understand this." He Mai said happily.
"But, Di Qin is paying attention to these things, do they still want to cause trouble again?"
"They must be hopeless."
What they say is that even if they can't defeat them, it won't stop them from making trouble.
Especially the firearms produced at this stage are relatively crude in craftsmanship and are still at the elementary level. It is easy for the enemy to steal them and succeed.
Even more precautions need to be taken.
"It's impossible to cause trouble, but Di Qin is cunning. We all know this. We can't guarantee that they will want to cause trouble again when they see the army far away."
"Another thing we should pay attention to is that it does not mean that they will stop if they are not sure of winning. In many cases, they will not even hesitate to take action as long as they think it will bring bad luck to our army."
As soon as this statement came out, all the colleagues present showed expressions of disbelief.
