After the immortal disappeared

People who are strong-willed will certainly join the team of winners.

"How does father want to fight?"

"I have consulted with my staff and generals. It's not that the southern rebels have never suffered defeats. They just run into the water when they are at leeward. It is connected in all directions and the terrain is too complicated, making it particularly difficult to pursue and suppress them."

He Lingchuan concluded: "It is not difficult to defeat, but it is too difficult to eradicate."

For the rebels/bandits, Longchuan is simply a geomantic treasure. More than a hundred years ago, Yuheng City also faced this problem.

"Right, that is it."

He Lingchuan leaned his chin and studied the sand table: "Have the southern rebels been huddled in Longchuan and not come out? If they are really so smart, it will be difficult to handle."

"Out, they are marching north. They seem to want to retake Hong Xiangqian's old path, go to Woling Pass and go down the river!" Woling Pass was once a military important town, but it was finally defeated by Hong Xiangqian's rebel offensive. Down. Although Woling Pass was recaptured by two generals, Ke Jihai and Wu Di, at the last moment, it was not carefully repaired afterwards.

He Lingchuan walked through it personally and was deeply impressed.

Can we withstand another enemy attack there? He wasn't very optimistic anyway.

If Woling Pass is lost again, Shihuan City and Yuandu will face a huge threat again. It’s hard to say whether we will have such good luck this time.

He Lingchuan shook his head: "This rebel army is not very smart, otherwise it should stick to Longchuan and focus on the word 'consumption'. Da Yuan cannot withstand consumption now, the rebels in the south and the Da Sima in the northwest can keep it flowing. Loss of blood and dragging it will bring it down. It would be unwise to abandon our greatest advantage and go north now."

He Chunhua snorted: "If they didn't go north, how could they bewitch so many followers?"

The rebels also rely on selling dreams to strengthen their ranks. It is really ridiculous!

But if they have been huddled in Taki River, where will the food and drink expenses of an army of tens of thousands of people come from?

This kind of rebel army mainly focuses on fighting to support war, plundering territory and killing rich people to support themselves and strengthen the team.

How many people join just to have enough to eat. If it dares to stay still, it will be in a dilemma.

He Lingchuan asked curiously: "Is there no food output in Longchuan now?"

In the Panlong era, Longchuan was a land of plenty and abundant water and soil, with dozens of villages and hundreds of villages. Like the base camp of Qianjin Village, it is the size of a small city.

Relying on Longchuan's own products, water bandits came and went freely, plundering when they went out, and defending their homes when they retreated. Their lives were prosperous and their arrogance was very arrogant.

In an era when poverty was widespread in southern Xi'an, Takigawa seemed like another world of its own.

"There are some, not many." He Chunhua has also studied the current situation of Longchuan. "A few years ago, Hong Xiangqian rebelled and took away too many young people from here. The rest are women, children, old and young. The grass in the fields is worse than the people. They are all high. Even if these rebels huddle in Longchuan and the grain is planted, they will not be able to harvest in half a year."

"And the rains have been very punctual in the past ten years, with heavy rains every year. The water level of the Taki River has risen, and the lake area has expanded. I heard that there are several large lakes, and the water surface has expanded to two or three times the original size, so there is not so much farmland."

He Lingchuan was jealous of his real name.

If Yuheng City faced Longchuan in this situation, would it still be necessary to scratch its head to suppress bandits?

"Who is the leader of this team?"

"He was originally the county magistrate of Yu County, and received the official salary from Wang Ting!" He Chunhua pressed his forehead, "This rebel is really thorough!"

The leader of the rebel army turned out to be an official? Quite ideal! He Lingchuan asked: "As for academic cultivation, how about going forward than Hong?"

"How can they be compared?" He Chunhua sneered, "If he has Hong Xiangqian's level, Dayuan will be in danger!"

Hong Xiangqian's uprising lasted for more than two years. At that time, Da Sima had not yet rebelled, and the Yuan Kingdom was still panting against them and suffered many defeats.

If it hadn't been for the two-year war that destroyed the country's finances, how could the Kite Kingdom be in the situation it is today?

"In this case, after they leave Longchuan, they will no longer be my father's opponent." He Lingchuan pointed to the west of Longchuan, "Luring them away from Longchuan, and then dividing the troops to cut off their retreat, is that easy? Father, you still have Another advantage.”

"Oh?" He Chunhua liked the word "advantage" very much, "What is it?"

"Didn't the officers and soldiers suffer several defeats in a row before? The rebels have won consecutive battles, so they should be particularly arrogant now." This is how war is fought. Those who lose are dejected, while those who win are elated. "They are arrogant and arrogant, and they may not take you seriously." Here. While they don’t know that General Chang Ning and Marquis Wu Wei are personally leading their troops south, you can hit them with a lightning strike, and maybe you can destroy their main force."

He Chunhua nodded: "I think so too."

He Lingchuan smiled and said: "You have already figured it out, what else do you want me to mention?"

He Chunhua looked at him with a somewhat complicated look: "Chuan'er, what do you think of the current situation in the country?"

The topic suddenly changed, and He Lingchuan was startled: "Dad, is your problem too big?"

"It's not big." He Chunhua shook his head, "But it's imminent."

"I don't have any opinion." He Lingchuan told the truth this time. He doesn't pay much attention to where Yuan Kingdom will go from now on. He was just a lonely ghost who took the place of his original self. He was neither born nor raised here, so how could he have any real feelings for Yuan Kingdom? After borrowing several million taels of silver from Rongshan, he felt that he was completely benevolent and righteous. "I just hope that the war will end soon - well, whoever can do it will end it."

He Chunhua's eyes narrowed slightly: "Anyone can come?"

He Lingchuan stretched and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Of course. As long as the civil war can be ended, the civilians will suffer less. Whoever gives them a good life will naturally be supported by them."

He knew exactly what his father wanted to hear.

He Chunhua was silent for a long time: "Your idea is very dangerous."

"What does it matter?" He Lingchuan said nonchalantly, "Anyway, I am not the one who can end the civil strife and return a peaceful world to Yuan Kingdom."

He Chunhua smiled, pointed at the sand table and said, "Come on, let's talk about how to play."

"What else is there to say?" He Lingchuan said without hesitation, "If I want a quick victory, I must lead the main force of the rebels out of their lair and complete the battle in one fell swoop; if they are allowed to escape back, they can only fight slowly and attack Longchuan There is no such thing as a slowly advancing tactic that can be defeated in a year or a half."

"The Kite Kingdom looks weak, but in fact it should be fine for another year and a half." After all, hasn't it been this way for the past few years? "It's just that you are too passive, Dad."

Everyone in the Yuan Kingdom's court had high hopes for He Chunhua. If he engages in a long tug of war with the southern rebels, his ability will be questioned and his prestige will be hit.

He Chunhua has ambitions and plans for the future, and cannot accept this situation.
