marquis of jingan

Chapter 974
Under the pressure of Ma Shilang, Zhou Shizhong led four battalions of thousands of households, followed behind Shen Yi, and also crossed the Shu River that afternoon.

They didn't even have time to send someone to Pagoda Mountain to take a look.

But Shen Yi, who was walking fast in front, had been sending scouts to keep an eye on the movements of the four thousand-household battalions behind him.

In the evening, the scout's report was sent to Shen Yi. After receiving the information, Master Shen was a little surprised.

Because it's so easy.

According to his fighting with Zhou Shizhong during this period of time, Zhou Shizhong should have a fairly smart military advisor by his side, cautious and sharp.

According to Shen Yi's estimate, the Qi army behind him will definitely go to Pagoda Mountain for a while, so he almost acquiesced that the more than 1000 people who stayed in Baota Mountain will be driven out of Huaibei.

After confirming that the news from the scouts was correct, Shen Yi called Xue Wei and Su Ding, distributed the information to them, and said softly: "It's surprising that things went smoothly. This afternoon, the people of Qi have already crossed the Shu River. that is…"

Master Shen narrowed his eyes and said softly: "We can go back to the teacher and eat them now."

Su Ding also has a cautious personality. After carefully reading the information, he stroked his chin and pondered for a while, then thoughtfully said: "It's really strange that it went smoothly. Could it be that the Qi army from Haizhou also sent out, Just follow behind and wait for us to return to the teacher?"

"No such thing."

Shen Yi shook his head and said: "It's two hundred miles from Haizhou, even if they have to march in a hurry, it's hard to get here without three or four days."

The military quality of the army in this era is far inferior to that of Shen Yi's era.

If you can do the order and prohibit it, you can already be regarded as an elite soldier.

A strong army in another world can run 120 miles in one night, but it is not bad for the army at this time to be able to walk fifty or sixty miles.

Moreover, in the era of hot weapons, after a forced march, as long as you can hold a gun, you still have combat effectiveness. However, in this era, if you really run a hundred miles a day, your legs will go numb. I have to use a knife, but I can't walk.

On the battlefield of cold weapons, running slower may be a dead word, not to mention stiff legs and feet.

Perhaps Shen Yi's Huai'an Army has a better marching ability.

Because Mr. Shen, when he was training against the Japanese army, he often took them to run for five kilometers, and he personally accompanied them. When he arrived in the Huai'an army, this fine tradition has also been preserved. One of the compulsory training items for the Huai'an army to this day is Run five kilometers.

Su Ding also nodded, and he said in a deep voice: "Then there is nothing to hesitate, Mr. Shen, give the order."

"Let's go back to the teacher overnight."

Su Ding clasped his fists and said: "If they are slow to see the opportunity, they may already be surrounded by us at dawn tomorrow."

Xue Wei also stood up and said, "I'm going to dispatch troops now."

Master Shen knocked on the table with his hands, thought for a while, and said softly: "It is possible to fight, but during the fight, send someone to keep an eye on the east. If the Qi army from Haizhou really comes over, then just accept it as soon as you see it." .”

Su Ding and Xue Wei both bowed their heads and clasped their fists, leaving Shen Yi's handsome tent.

Shen Yi, on the other hand, did not go out, but sat back in his chair, preparing to write a few short essays.

Now he is the head coach of the three armies.

This kind of battle without much suspense does not require him to personally ask and participate in it.

After all, the remaining suspense of the four thousand-household battalions of the Qi people is probably the question of how many people can escape.

But now, Shen Yi is most concerned about the situation of the West Route Army and the situation of Xuzhou City.

…………

Xuzhou, Luliang Mountain.

Ling Su's army was stationed at the foot of the mountain. In Ling Su's large tent, General Ling took a sip of wine, looked at Luo Yong who was sitting under his head, and said with a soft smile, "Siwu Luo, what is the situation in Xuzhou City? If we march all the way, my army can reach Xuzhou now, but Luo Siwu wants us to stop at Luliang Mountain."

Luo Yong lowered his head slightly and said, "General Ling, if you move your army to Xuzhou now, you will only face the tall city walls of Xuzhou. If you want to attack, at least tens of thousands of people will have to surround you for three or four months. There is a chance."

He said slowly: "But this is to the north of the Huaihe River, which is the realm of the Qi people. The reason why our army can attack here unimpeded is because the Qi people's garrisons in Haizhou and Xuzhou are combined. Just over 4 people, most of them..."

"Most of them were still taken by Dong..."

When he said this, he paused for a while, and after a "hmm", he continued: "Most of them are still attracted by Si Zheng and the others, and have no time to take care of this."

"More importantly, the people of Qi felt that Xuzhou's city walls were so tall that it was impossible for our army to enter the city in a short period of time, so they let you go, General, and marched to Luliang Mountain here."

"Actually, we only have ten days at most to fight Xuzhou."

Luo Yong said in a low voice: "If within ten days, if you can't enter Xuzhou City, even Sizheng, you have to withdraw to the south of the Huaihe River, otherwise the army of the Qi people will definitely leave most of my army in Huaibei, causing Huai'an to be destroyed. An unprecedented defeat for the army."

General Ling nodded slightly, and said, "That's the truth."

"Ten days..."

He narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Ten days, can you really break the city?"

Luo Yong didn't answer, but quietly replied: "In the eighth year of Hongde, the Dibao Division sent people to the north."

He looked at Ling Su and said with a smile: "At that time, General Ling might not have followed Si Zheng?"

Ling Su was startled when he heard this.

In the eighth year of Hongde, the suppression of the Japanese in the southeast has not yet begun, and Shen Yi has just gone to the southeast and started to form an anti-Japanese army!

At that time, Di Baodi had already started sending people to the north? !

General Ling suddenly felt a little frightened.

My boss, at that time, started planning the Northern Expedition...!
Thinking of this, he glanced at Luo Yong, and said with emotion: "Since this is the case, Ling will not say anything more, and everything will be according to Shen Gong's arrangement."

Luo Yong lowered his head slightly, and said: "Now, just wait for Si Zheng's order, and the arrangements in Xuzhou City can start to act. Before that, the general can't scare Xuzhou."

"it is good."

Ling Su smiled and said, "We will stay in Luliang Mountain for a few more days, waiting for news from Mr. Shen."

…………

At the same time, the north gate of Xuzhou City.

Zhizhou Pan Mao is directing grain trucks into Xuzhou City.

On this day, another [-] or [-] grain trucks entered Xuzhou. Pan Zhizhou personally watched these grain trucks enter the city. When the last grain truck entered the city and closed the city gate, he did not pay attention to his nephew who had been following behind him. The son-in-law gave a thumbs up.

"Jun Shan is good at it, it's all in such a mess, and he can still get food into the city!"

Member Shen stood behind Pan Zhizhou respectfully, and said with a smile, "My lord, the southern army is not doing enough to suppress the bandits. I heard that the southern bandits are not too far away from Xuzhou. The price of food in Xuzhou city started to skyrocket yesterday. Today, it has increased eight or nine times.”

He smiled and said, "Congratulations, Uncle, you have made a fortune."

"Getting rich is the next best thing."

Pan Zhizhou said with a smile: "Earning some money is just a small fight. In a few days, reinforcements will arrive in Xuzhou. When the southern bandits come, we will close the city gate in Xuzhou, and I will send the food to you." Useful."

Master Pan narrowed his eyes and said, "The southern bandits are really going to make a big fuss. I'm afraid that the army rations will also be demanded from me. At that time, the imperial court will also give me a great credit."

He patted Yuanwai Shen on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "This is all thanks to you, Junshan, and uncle will write it down for you."

Member Shen looked respectful and said with a smile: "Master Uncle will get promoted and get rich in the future, don't forget that your son-in-law is, when you are in the court and your son-in-law is in the house, he will be able to help you to some extent."

"That's easy to say."

Pan Zhizhou nodded happily, and laughed: "At that time, maybe there will be more business for Junshan to do."

Member Shen nodded first, then lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said, "My lord uncle, my son-in-law still has nearly [-] carts of grain, which will arrive in a few days, but I heard that the southern bandits are making a big fuss. Look at the [-] carts." Can the grain be transported into the city, if not, the son-in-law can only return the grain.”

"Go back and do what?"

Pan Zhizhou grabbed Shen Yuanwai's sleeve, and said, "In a few days, if the bandits get more violent, food will be cheaper than gold! At this time, the more food, the better."

"I'm afraid that it will be too chaotic outside, and I won't be able to send it in. Maybe it will fall into the hands of the southern bandits."

Pan Zhizhou lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said, "No matter what, you should have someone bring it first."

"At that time, uncle will find a way for you."

"it is good."

Member Shen bowed to the ground.

"Thank you uncle!"
