Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 238 One General Succeeds with Eternity

...

"... about 350 million pieces of gold and silver. Treasures of inestimable value. The total value of ten large ships should only be more than gold and silver, not less than gold and silver... More than 970 war horses, The war horses confiscated in the homes of the nobles in Goryeo are even better than the ones confiscated in the racecourses. Among them, there are no less than [-] thousand-mile horses... More than [-] million shi of grain, just as my brother expected, the grain stored in the nobles' homes Sure enough, it is much more than the national treasury..."

Although he knew that the number of seizures this time would be unimaginably large, Li Yan never expected that there would be such a large number!
Thinking about it, it is actually quite normal. This is the accumulation of a century of Goryeo, not only the accumulation of the Goryeo court, but also the accumulation of a third of the nobles in Goryeo. It is quite normal to have these.

After a while, Li Yan turned his attention away from Jiang Jing, then turned to Li Jun, and asked, "How long will it take to transport all these things back to Liangshanbo?"

Li Jun was clearly prepared, and he opened his mouth and said, "At least one year."

Li Yan couldn't help frowning, and then asked: "What if it is shipped to Jeju Island?"

Li Jun said: "At least four months."

Li Yan thought for a while, then turned his gaze to Zhu Wu and asked, "How about the north side, how long can we hold it?"

Zhu Wu said with a smile: "Brother Yang Zhi is very high-spirited now. The news came back that as long as he is given enough explosives and thunderbolts, he will make it impossible for the Gaoli army to pass through Pingzhou forever."

Li Yan frowned and said: "It's a bit swollen, that's an army of [-], and if the attack can't be defeated for a long time, there is no guarantee that the Northwest Army will not send reinforcements. At that time, they only need to leave [-] troops to surround Pingzhou, and then they can make a detour." Come to Luocheng to attack us."

Sun Jing said: "They don't say that they will be able to return aid. Liao and Jin are eyeing them. If they dare to withdraw a large number of troops, Liao and Jin will definitely attack. At that time, we will be with Liao Together with Jin, Goryeo will completely become history."

Zhu Wu also said: "Gao Li's army is good at defending but not good at attacking, we have firearms to assist in defense, and relying on the fortified city of Luocheng, even if they send [-] troops, we don't have to be afraid of them, and if they dare to move from the northwest Sending [-] to [-] soldiers and horses is challenging the expansion ambitions of Liao and Jin."

Li Yan also agreed with what Zhu Wu and Sun Jing said, but Li Yan still said: "Be careful, there is no big mistake...Since the Fourth Army has come, there is no need for the Sixth Army to stay in Luocheng. , give way to the Sixth Army to replace Ma Sanying, Ma Siying, and Ma Wuying. If they defend the city, the Ma Jun is not very useful, and it is enough to keep a battalion of Ma Jun in case of emergency.”

Zhu Wudao: "I'll arrange it later."

Li Yan asked again: "How is Nanjing?"

Zhu Wudao: "Qiu Xi came back with the news that they had liberated the slaves in Nanjing. Hu Yanqing followed his brother's instructions and formed the Seventh Army based on his brother's personal guards and more than 300 reserve soldiers. However, the slaves in Nanjing did not pass through his brother. The deterrence of Nanjing City repeated the mistakes of Li Chengcheng. Except for the nobles who fled in the chaos, the rest of the nobles in Nanjing were killed by slaves and slaves. Brother Shi Bao warned those rioting slaves and slaves, those slaves The soldiers and slaves refused to listen, so Brother Shi Bao led people to kill tens of thousands of soldiers and slaves, and finally the situation in Nanjing was stabilized. After that, Brother Shi Bao left two horses for Qiu Xian and Hu Yanqing Army, and then headed south with the rest of the horse army."

After a pause, Zhu Wu went on to say: "Qiu also said that Brother Shi Bao had successively captured Guangzhou, Shuizhou, and Tian'an Mansion. In order that these cities would not be taken back by Goryeo after he left, Brother Shi Bao forcibly liberated the local area. The servants of the city, and demolished the city gates and suspension bridges... Qiu Qian said that the servants in Guangzhou, Shuizhou, and Tian'an prefectures killed all the local nobles, and even the servants in Guangzhou began to kill innocent civilians. Those servants burned, killed and looted Doing everything is like crazy, so we have to take over those places as soon as possible, otherwise those places will definitely be turned into a hell on earth by those red-eyed slaves, and we will spend a lot of effort to manage them in the future."

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yan could think of the tragedy experienced in the south. There must be mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.

"One will succeed, ten thousand bones will die... Hey!"

Sighing secretly, Li Yan collected his mind, and then looked at Zhu Wudao: "If you can't break it, you can't stand it...Have you finished replenishing the Second Army? If you have finished replenishing, you can take it to the south, and take another artillery battalion away. In addition, you take [-] of the [-] reserve soldiers (after the replenishment of the armies, there are only [-] of the [-] reserve soldiers left), and you take all the [-] slave soldiers and reserve soldiers, and wait for the third horse battalion, the fourth horse battalion, Withdraw Ma Wuying, I will let them chase you, and you will be fully responsible for the war in the south."

Li Yan gave Zhu Wu the right to magnify, and Li Yan handed over most of the soldiers and horses to Zhu Wutong. He trusted Zhu Wu so much that Zhu Wu couldn't help but say: "Brother, younger brother..."

Li Yan stretched out his hand to prevent Zhu Wu from continuing, and said: "Whether we can have a real base depends entirely on you, brother."

Zhu Wu took a deep breath, but bowed to Li Yan three times and said: "Little brother is gone."

After speaking, Zhu Wu went down to prepare for the expedition.

After Zhu Wu left, Sun Jing said: "After the Sixth Bu Army and the Second Bu Army left, only the Fourth Bu Army, the First Ma Battalion, the Sixth Ma Battalion and my brother's two capitals remained in Luocheng. The personal guards and the Sidu Artillery Army are too weak, if the Northwest Army of Goryeo really sends a large army back, and then encircles Pingzhou to take a detour to attack Luocheng, Luocheng may be in danger."

Li Yandao: "Using my remaining two guards and the remaining four battalions of reserves as the skeleton, let Guo Yong recruit another [-] slaves and servants to form the Eighth and Ninth Infantry Army, and I will personally train the commanders."

Sun Jing really admired Li Yan so much!

Even in Li Yan's current position, he was able to let go of his identity to personally train and lead the recruits. It would be extremely difficult for other powerful masters to do this.

Sun Jing thought for a while and suggested: "Back then, my brother thought that if Zhang Qing, Gong Wang, and Ding Desun were separated, [-]% of Zhang Qing's martial arts could be used at most [-]%, so he didn't separate the three of them. Now If the matter is urgent, after the Fifth Ma Battalion retreats to Luocheng, Brother can separate Gong Wang and Ding Desun from the Fifth Ma Battalion and help him train and lead the Eighth and Ninth Army for the time being."

Li Yan also knew that without a right-hand assistant, it would be very difficult to train and lead the new army, especially the new army dominated by slaves. Gong Wang and Ding Desun were both officers, and both had the ability to lead the army. As for my assistant, separating Gong Wang and Ding Desun from Zhang Qing's side will greatly reduce Zhang Qing's strength, so I can't take care of it for the time being.

Li Yan nodded, and then said to Li Jun: "Go to Jeju Island for transport, remember, the precious luck comes first." Then Li Yan said to Sun Jing: "Let Qiu Qian recruit tens of thousands of people from Nanjing to bring them to Kaijing, Transporting the soldiers and some food to Nanjing will save a lot of time."
