Lord of the House

Vol 11 Chapter 73: Joint plan

Hu Zongguo and Ma Zhen left and went to the inn to rest. Luo Xiancheng took off his python robe and was naked in the arms of two beauties in thin shirts. He asked a pretty waitress to wipe the sweat stains on his body with a wet wipe.

Although the beauty is on the side, Luo Xiancheng's mind is not on this, thinking of other things.

He experienced **** and **** experiences, and the mountains of swords and seas of fire passed by. Although Luo Xiancheng was a little indulged in lewdness in the past two years, he was not confused in his heart.

Over the years, he has occupied Suizhou and established himself as the king. He is above ten thousand people, not under others. He has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command. hand?

In Luo Xiancheng's heart, there is only one criterion, whether to surrender to Jiangning or to surrender to Yanjing, that is, whoever can guarantee him the riches and honors of a king by splitting the earth, he will surrender; the minimum limit is that he cannot disband his military power.

Power comes out of the sword and spear, and all the soldiers and horses are lost. Even a dog is not as good as a dog. Luo Xiancheng has been messing around for all these years, and he knows that this simple truth must not be given up.

Huaidong is good in every possible way, but some are not good in general, that is, the forces attached to Huaidong, no one can retain independent troops and horses outside the Huaidong Army.

In the early stage, Sun Zhuang’s Suyu Army was attached, in the mid-term, Ma Yigong and Yang Yihang’s Jin Navy were attached, and in the later stage, the Song’s Quanzhou Army, Haiyu’s Chen’s Hanghu Army, and even Lin Fu’s family members were attached. The Dongyang Army led by Lin Tingli and Lin Zonghai was dismantled and digested without exception.

Under such circumstances, if Suizhou surrenders to Huaidong, Zhong Rong, Wang and other generals and officials will not worry about finding their own positions in Huaidong. Anyway, Huaidong also needs a large number of generals and officials who lead troops to fight and herdsmen to govern politics. What can Luo Xiancheng get?

One of his dignified Changle Kings is happy and happy in Suizhou, and he responds to every call. Who can't obey, plus axe and knife, how can he be willing to go to Linfu and follow him to be a pug, waiting for orders?

Could it be that after all these years of blood and blood, just to be a rich man in the mountains and villages where birds don't shit?

When Wang Xiang was expelled from Suizhou City, Luo Xiancheng had made a choice between Beiyan and Huaidong, but he had been able to live the longest in the refugee army all these years, and his greatest strength was being able to judge the situation.

If he surrendered to Huaidong, he could live, but if he did not surrender, he would die. He would undoubtedly give up his dream of breaking the earth and become king, and choose the former.

Luo Xiancheng still has some self-knowledge about how much he has in his family.

Although it claims to have 200,000 troops, but according to the land of the two prefectures, how much output and how many troops and horses can be raised?

When Wang Xiang was still in government, he did not hesitate to use **** means to forcibly expropriate nearly one million mu of grain fields around Baiyun Lake and on both sides of the rivers such as Drifting, Chuan, and Hanshui, and 60% of the 200,000 soldiers and horses. It was only in the past two years that the Changle Army's military food problem in Suizhou was solved by going to the colony.

Thinking of Wang Xiang, Luo Xiancheng was still quite emotional.

If it wasn't for Wang Xiang and Zhong Rong's quarrel, and he was too afraid to offend Huaidong, Luo Xiancheng would really be reluctant to kick him from Suizhou City to Chaishan County, which is deep in Huaishan. Luo Xiancheng thought to himself: What would Wang Xiangfu's plan of a joint army be with the She family?

At this time, Wei Zhang sent Hu Zongguo and Ma Zhen to the post house and rushed back to Changle Palace. He bowed his head in front of the palace and greeted him. Luo Xiancheng said to him, "Write a letter to Prime Minister Wang and ask him if he has any What opinion?"

Wei Zhang stopped talking, got up and went to the side hall to write a letter. Luo Xiancheng saw the words hidden in his stomach and said, "What do you have to say, just tell me. If you say it wrong, can I still eat you?"

"Chen Hansan went to Qichun, and Lord Wang strongly opposed it; when the luxury family crossed the river, Lord Wang built fortifications and repaired troops and armored in the southern border of Chaishan," Wei Zhang said. also opposed."

"Oh, let's write to ask," Luo Xiancheng said, "Even if the Prime Minister objected, he would say one, two, three, and it's okay to listen!"

"Yes." Wei Zhang replied.

"By the way," Luo Xiancheng said again, "Huaidong increases troops in Luzhou, and the salt and iron transported by private merchants through Huaidong will be restricted. If troops are to be raised here, the reserves of salt and iron must not be less, and it is called Wang Xiang. Think about ways in Chaishan - you write it together in the letter."

Suizhou has blocked the surrounding military towns for a long time, and materials such as salt and iron are extremely scarce.

Even among the 80,000 soldiers left in Suizhou, a considerable number of them still used bamboo and wood as spears, let alone armor.

However, after the She family crossed north, the She family brought out a batch of soldiers in order to raise food for hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, so that the military equipment of the Suizhou Army was a little better.

In comparison, the She family has suffered repeated defeats in the battle against Huaidong over the past few years, but in the western front, it has been unfavorable.

Especially during the Jiangning War, the She family seized tens of thousands of soldiers and armors from the Yuying Army, and the salt and iron looted from Jiangning City were relatively sufficient, which could be provided to Suizhou.

However, more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians from the luxury family rushed across the river and fled north. They only secretly prepared 200,000 to 300,000 stone grains of food in Huanglongling in advance, which was only enough for two or three months. Most of the places newly occupied by the luxury family, such as eastern Hubei, were dilapidated. In the early days, Chen Hansan occupied these places, and most of the food and grass were secretly supplied to Suizhou. In just one year, how could Chen Hansan restore the production of eastern Hubei to? degree?

The food that can be collected from the local area is extremely limited. After the remnants of the luxury family cross the river, the food problem is a matter of life and death.

Therefore, the most important thing after the luxury family crossed the river was to take advantage of the naval forces to control the Han River to plunder food on the south bank of the Han River and in the area controlled by Jinghu Lake, and the other was to use the army and armor to follow the state in exchange for food.

Of course, the grain storage in Suizhou is also limited, and taking out 200,000 to 300,000 shi of grain is already the limit.

This amount of food is only enough to support the luxury family for three or four months. At present, the Shejia is attacked by the Jinghu and Chizhou troops in the south, and there is not enough space for planting. Suizhou's grain production is absolutely not enough to support the Suizhou army and the remnants of the Shejia for a long time.

Thinking of food, Luo Xiancheng had another headache, thinking that Wang Xiang was so good in Suizhou, and he didn't need to have a headache for these things.

Wei Zhang will write a letter to Wang Xiang, and read it to Luo Xiancheng. If Luo Xiancheng has no objection, he will send it to Chaishan by private printing.

Wei Zhang believed himself to be a scholar, and liked to drop his bookbag. He even explained while reading the letter. It took Luo Xiancheng a long time to understand that what he wrote in the letter was basically the same as what he had instructed, and said, "You sour scholars just like to show off - by the way, you Add a few words to the letter and ask Wang Xiang, Suizhou's food shortage, what should I do? Is it possible to add more?"

Suizhou was governed by Wang Xiang, and the military food was still loose. Wei Zhang knew that Luo Xiancheng said that Suizhou was short of food, and the extravagant family was also included.

Between Huaishan and Hanshui, there will be more than 300,000 soldiers and horses from the remnants of the She family and Suizhou.

Once Yanhu failed to successfully capture Nanyang, and Jinghu successively strengthened the defense of the southern bank of Hanshui, Chizhou Army, under the pressure of Huaidong, slowly pushed northward, compressing the living space between Huaishan and Hanshui, relying only on Suizhou and Xiangfan As well as the grain production in the southern Hubei area, it is impossible to maintain the long-term consumption of 300,000 soldiers and horses.

At this time, the She family was still following the state. Once the south and west were blocked by the Chizhou Army and the Jinghu Army, would the She family turn around and annex Suizhou for the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians? , is it really bad?

Wei Zhang didn't say much, and immediately revised the letter in front of Luo Xiancheng in front of the hall.

Luo Xiancheng touched Fatty's drooping chin and asked Wei Zhang again, "Tell me, too, what is the advantage or disadvantage of joining forces with the She family?"

Wei Zhang almost cried. He waited on Luo Xiancheng's side all day, doing internal history, such an important matter. Luo Xiancheng only remembered to ask him today, which made him feel really embarrassed.

Although there was resentment in his heart, Wei Zhang did not show it, and said calmly: "It is not bad for King Luo to join forces with the She family."

"Why isn't it bad?" Luo Xiancheng asked.

"Chen Zhihu was defeated in Ruyang," Wei Zhang said. "It seems to be beneficial to Beiyan, but it is not. Wei Zhang thinks that it is the king of Liluo."

"Oh?" Luo Xiancheng looked at Wei Zhang suspiciously.

"If Liang Chengyi was asked to lead the troops and horses in the river to retreat to Nanyang, and Nanyang's garrison was as high as 70,000, Beiyan would not dare to attack it suddenly, and the She family and King Luo would not be able to do much in the south. Now Liang Chengyi is defeated in Ruyang, Nanyang's garrison was less than 40,000, and Ruyang's defeat would affect Ruyang, which made him anxious and uneasy. If Huaidong and Beiyan want to win the battle between the north and the south, don't they both ask for you, King Luo?"

Luo Xiancheng thought that he had become very important at this time, and laughed out loud~www.wuxiaspot.com~ pointed at Wei Zhang and said: "The analysis is reasonable, the analysis is reasonable, I didn't expect that you would not show the mountains and waters beside this king, And such a great talent, how come you haven't seen it before?"

Wei Zhang was very nervous. He was afraid that Luo Xiancheng would be suspicious, so he pretended to be calm and said, "In the past, King Luo asked Wei Zhang to write a letter, and Wei Zhang wrote a letter, and he didn't dare to go beyond..." It was strange in his heart, and Hu Zongguo called him Why are you saying these words in front of Luo Xiancheng, aren't you afraid that Luo Xiancheng will fall to Huaidong?

The situation is also as Wei Zhang said just now. If Luo Xiancheng is determined to join Huaidong, Nanyang troops will not have to worry about their backs and belly. With cooperation, Huaidong wants to wipe out the remnants of the She family, and it will be easy.

Hu Zongguo, on behalf of She Wenzhuang, came to Suizhou this time to propose a joint military plan, the key lies in three points: First, Chen Hansan and Yang Xiong lead the water infantry to guard the front line of Qichun and Hanjin, and take advantage of the dangers of cities and mountains to drag The pace of the Chizhou Army and the Jinghu Army marching north; secondly, the Changle Army gave up Xiangfan and called the main force of the She family to garrison, so that they could attack Nanyang according to Xiangfan and the Yanhu army coming from the north; thirdly, the Changle Army left Suizhou , from the valley road between Tongbai Mountain and Huaishan Mountain, attack Xinyang in the north, cut off Huaidong's passage from Luzhou to Nanyang, and hold Huaixi's troops and horses in Xinyang to the east of Tongbai Mountain.

Although Huaidong's response was also very rapid, the Chizhou army crossed the river north to contain the remnants of the luxury family from the south, and 30,000 Huaidong army elites have entered Luzhou, ready to go to the northern foot of Huaishan Mountain to assist Nanyang at any time— - However, as long as the Beiyan army can advance to the north of Nanyang at the fastest speed, and the Huaidong army still has some elites that cannot be transferred in the hinterland of Jiangxi, according to the plan proposed by Hu Zongguo, the odds are very large.
