Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 605 Surrounded On All Sides
Two days later, Su Chen came to the General's Mansion. From today onwards, he will act as the commander-in-chief. The governor Wang Yuechao, the prefect and others all went to the General's Mansion to wait for orders. , justifiably!
Su Chen sat in the position of the chief general. Although he was young, he didn't look cramped after having the experience of leading an army.

He listened carefully to the reports from all parties, including the storage of food in the city, the reserves of weapons, armor, and arrows, the daily situation of the wounded, the sickness and death of the wounded, the status of the people in the city, etc. Su Chen listened to detailed descriptions of these situations, so as to fully understand the situation.

Beside him, the three of Ye Chen served as secretary and clerk, and they were all assigned important clerical positions, and they all became Su Chen's confidantes.

In terms of generals, Yan Yan, Ma Chengcheng, Ma Chengjun, Jing Hong and others were all promoted by him. In the Runzhou barracks, they can be regarded as part of the direct troops.

In addition, Ma Xiong, Wang Yuchuan, Zhang Qiao, Zhao Sheng and others were also very grateful to Su Chen for rescuing General Lu, and were willing to obey.

"Okay, all generals continue to perform their duties and respond to the attack of Wu Yue soldiers at any time!"

After hearing the report, Su Chen explained a few more words, then went to the wounded barracks, visited the wounded, and checked Lu Jiang's clinical reaction after the operation.

At this time, Lu Jiang was still in a semi-comatose state, her fever had not subsided, and she obviously felt hot.

This is because after surgery and poisoning, there will be some inflammation in the body, which is inevitable.

Fortunately, Lu Jiang is practicing martial arts, her body is strong, and her various physical qualities are far beyond what ordinary people can compare.

Now let's see if Lu Jiang can fight the inflammation?As long as the fever can be reduced, the inflammation and toxins in Lu Jiang's body can be completely eliminated.

Therefore, besides preparing him with antipyretics and anti-inflammatory soup, Su Chen can only rely on his own will.

In the next two days, Wuyue soldiers did not continue to attack the city because of too much damage. This gave Runzhou a buffer time to reorganize the team.

Moreover, Su Chen felt that there was not enough troops, so he planned to recruit a group of new troops in the city, so he sent people to put up notices on the streets and alleys of Runzhou City to recruit new soldiers, and then formed a new army to carry out intensive training Training, such as combat skills, orders, and combat formations.

In addition, in terms of scouting spies, Su Chen also dispatched a secret spy department and a scouting battalion to screen out suspicious persons in the city's population and check them door to door according to their household registration to avoid the intrusion of spies. Of course, this is a long-term job and it is difficult to uproot them. After all, the intelligence networks of various countries conduct secret battles every year to carry out infiltration and reverse infiltration. It is not easy to find out all Wu Yue's roaming lords and spies in a short period of time.

Both open and secret wars are going on, and the entire Runzhou city and outside the city are battlefields.

This short period of tranquility was interrupted five days later, because Wuyue Kingdom increased its troops.

There are [-] to [-] troops, sent troops from the land of Yuhang, and finally arrived at the front line outside the city of Runzhou.

Now Wuyue's army has enough troops, so Shen Chengli ordered the division of troops, trapped Runzhou City in groups, and set up roadblocks and trenches, with the purpose of encircling it on all sides and causing huge psychological pressure on Runzhou.

From today onwards, it will be difficult for the scouts and patrols outside to freely enter Runzhou City.

It also became difficult for the people in Runzhou City to flee the city because they didn't know whether the Wuyue soldiers outside the city would harm the people who left the city.

After the news of the siege of Runzhou by the army spread to the city, many people began to panic and purchase supplies frantically. However, some important supplies, such as grain, salt, beef and mutton, have been controlled by the government and will not be sold easily.

Each family applies for food stamps according to their household registration, and only according to the food stamps can they be eligible to buy food, so as to prevent people from driving up prices or hoarding food and grass.

However, the military notice made it clear that next, the granaries in the city will be used as military rations, and the common people will prepare a year's worth of rations to live and die with Runzhou City.

As the news spread, many wealthy households in the city also became worried.

They don't have confidence in whether Runzhou City can be defended, but because the patriarchs of the seven major families have visited Su Chen before, they have already stated in advance that they will support Su Chen in defending the city. Reduce the pressure on Su Chen to govern the people and manage the city.

Ning Guogong came to look for Su Chen once, and told him that kindness does not command soldiers, and kindness does not become king, so that he can no longer be like Lu Jiang's benevolent women, and fall into Wu Yue's tricks.

Su Chen nodded and said: "Don't worry, Duke, I know what's in my heart, I won't give the Wuyue people another chance to succeed in their schemes, and I won't let them lead me by the nose."

Duke Ning showed approval, and said: "Those who need my Xu family's efforts, even though, over the years, my Xu family has also saved some food and supplies, and when it comes to critical times later, I can also take it out and donate to the city defenders free of charge. "

"That's great. When I need it, I won't be polite to the Duke."

"Well, to defend Runzhou is to protect everyone's wealth and lives, of course we must support you!" Ning Guogong took it very seriously and fully supported Su Chen and the guarding army.

This time, the Wuyue Kingdom almost came out in full force and sent all the main force to the north. It seemed that they were sure to win Runzhou City, and they did not hesitate to gamble on the fate of the country.

Once these [-] elite soldiers are buried in Runzhou of the Tang State, the main force of the Wuyue Kingdom will be gone, leaving only the local city guards, the coastal defense army, and the Imperial Forest Army in the capital. The total will not exceed [-]. , and are scattered all over the place.

So at this time, the Wuyue Kingdom was empty of troops, but the Wuyue Kingdom was not afraid, because, with the guarantee of the Northern Song Dynasty, no one rushed to use troops against Wuyue at this time.Moreover, apart from the Tang State, the only ones capable of attacking Wu Yue were the Southern Han Dynasty.

There is another force, that is, Chen Hongjin who ruled Quanzhou and Zhangzhou separately. There are only 3 to [-] soldiers and horses there, and they dare not attack Wuyue Qiantang.

Therefore, this time, Wu Yue's army will fight to the death with the Tang army in Runzhou City, vowing to take down Runzhou, and then send troops to Jinling City. Maybe they can enter Jinling earlier. In addition to avenging the Tang Dynasty for generations, they can also carve up Jinling City Many treasures and wealth, beauties, slaves, etc., this is the small calculation of Wuyue Kingdom.

After all, on the west front, the Song army led by Cao Bin is in the area of ​​Caishiji and Chizhou. They are contending with Lin Renzhao's 15 troops. The two sides are evenly matched. .

However, Lin Renzhao made every step of the way, strictly guarded against death, and relied on the power of the navy to stop the Song army from crossing the river. For the time being, Cao Bin was helpless, and the two sides fell into a fierce battle.

Next, it depends on who can come up with new strategies or master the weaknesses of the other side in order to crush the opponent.

Cao Bin, Pan Mei and other northern generals, facing Lin Renzhao, felt like a tiger eating a hedgehog, unable to speak.

Therefore, the eastern front has become more and more important.

Su Chen also knows well that he has no historical direction to rely on right now, because the trajectory has changed, what he can do is to respond to external changes with the same, be careful to deal with them, personally participate in ancient wars, and be a good general of the three armies this role.
