Chapter 1084: Success in the East and Success in the West (Seventy-Seven)

A bowl of millet porridge with minced meat was slowly poured down. Lu Ting exhaled a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.

"Wake up, wake up!" A voice of surprise came to my ears.

"Mr. Lu is hungry and his body is too weak. As long as he takes good care of himself for a few days, he will recover naturally." A doctor accompanying the army took Lu Ting's pulse again, straightened up, and his expression became relaxed.

"It's okay." Qin Lei walked over with a smile on his face. He was not familiar with Lu Ting before, but in the past six months, he had spent time with this young county magistrate day and night, and he had developed a lot of feelings for this young magistrate. I really admire the county magistrate who is extremely cowardly but extremely strong in his heart. In the past six months, he has not bothered at all with logistics planning. It is precisely because of Lu Ting's overall planning that he has been able to persist in more tasks. When I found out that Lu Ting was in good health, I was naturally happy.

Lu Ting looked at the people beside the bed, held up his hands, sat up from the bed, and said sheepishly: "It's really embarrassing. Seeing us winning, he fainted with joy."

"You didn't faint from joy, you fainted from hunger." A clear voice came from behind Qin Lei and several tall figures. Lu Ting was surprised, why is there a woman here?

Footsteps sounded, and the woman who had just spoken came over. Qin Lei and others stepped out of a passage. Lu Ting looked up, and a ferocious devil mask suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Lu Ting's eyes suddenly went straight, and his throat was filled with tears. With a sigh, he fell straight backwards and fell onto the bed with a thud. His eyes rolled up and he fainted again from fright.

Everyone was astonished. When Lu Ting was in coma, Qin Lei spoke highly of the county magistrate. He described him as a rare good official in the world, a capable and courageous official. How could anyone expect that? Guli's ghost mask can scare him into unconsciousness again.

Gu Li also stopped in shock. After a while, she let out a laugh, turned around, and walked out, "I fainted from hunger before, but this time I fainted from fear."

Except for the army doctor who was hurriedly pinching people, shaking his body, and shouting loudly, the other generals in the room laughed loudly. Only Qin Lei, with an old face flushed, looked at Lu Ting, really He was so angry that he refused to fight. Lu Ting cooperated with him this time and defended Crane City. The King of Han had already ordered to bring him and Lu Ting to Jicheng. This was an extremely rare opportunity for a young man like Lu Ting. As long as you deal with the opportunity properly and add this merit, you will be able to rise to the top. But if this matter comes to the king's ears, will it still be his? The king is a military general, and I am afraid he is the most annoying. It's just the timid ones.

Hecheng survived the disaster, but they did not relax because of the arrival of reinforcements. You must know that they were still surrounded by Zhao Jun's forces. The situation that they were besieged from all sides has not changed, but their strength has been strengthened. With further strengthening, and as Guli Yefeng and the others defeated the Zhao army opposite Hecheng, they also seized more food, making Hecheng temporarily free of food crisis.

Of course, it is only temporary. The daily consumption of the five thousand cavalry brought by Gu Li is extremely staggering. Naturally, they cannot sit back and defend Crane City.

After lunch, all the generals gathered together to discuss the next move to cooperate with Commander Dongye He Lanxiong's strategy for the entire Dai County. Lu Ting, who was so frightened that he fainted in the morning, changed into a clean and starched official uniform. Fu also appeared in the meeting hall, but he was sitting far away from Gu Li. From time to time he would sneak a glance, with a frightened look on his face. His appearance made Gu Li, Ye Feng was extremely curious. This person was really strange. He was not afraid of death when faced with a desperate situation. At the last moment, he was able to prompt Qin Lei to lead all the troops to make a fatal blow. But now that he was safe, a small mask actually allowed him to Cringing.

"Naturally, the cavalry under my command cannot stay in the city. Only when the cavalry moves can they give the enemy the greatest shock and threat. Therefore, I will lead my troops to roam outside, and I will give the enemy a hard blow at the right moment. One blow, so the defense of Crane City can only be entrusted to you." Gu Li bowed her hands to the others.

"The cavalry is out, do you have enough food and grass?" To everyone's surprise, the person who spoke was actually Lu Ting. He stood up, his eyes still twinkling.

Gu Li was also quite surprised. She raised her head and glanced at Lu Ting. Lu Ting immediately became three points shorter.

"Magistrate Lu is interested. We only need to carry three days' rations. There are so many Zhao army camps in this county, and they always have logistics and transportation. I don't worry about not having the chance to grab food." Gu Li said.

Qin Lei also stood up and said, "When Nanzhang surrendered to the Qin army at the call of the young master, all the more than 20,000 generations of county soldiers who were in Nanzhang were demobilized and returned to their fields. Some of them were conscripted by the Qin army as husbands, and others Then I returned to the village, and I plan to go out. As long as we set up a big flag, we will naturally gather a group of these soldiers. No matter how many we can gather, it will always be a help."

Gu Li nodded slightly, "This is indeed what we should do. If we can gather another group of infantry in Hecheng, the threat to Zhao Jun will be greater. But in this case, who will defend the city?"

Ye Feng spread his hands and said, "You two have to go out, so the task of defending the city can only be left to me. Magistrate Lu, we will have to work together from now on."

"I don't know much about fighting, but in terms of logistics coordination, don't worry, Master Ye, just leave it to me." Lu Ting nodded hurriedly.

Gu Li only stayed in Hecheng for a short day. After replenishing some food and drinking water, and leaving the injured soldiers to recuperate in Hecheng, they then whipped their horses and left. Their next task was to fight in Dai A storm arose in the county.

In Nanzhang City, the guard Zhang Ming turned blue. In one hand, Li Mingjun sent an order from Xiling City, the capital of Dai County, asking him to immediately deploy his troops to wipe out the incoming Han cavalry. In the other hand, he , but what he was holding were emergency documents sent from counties below Nanzhang.

"Fuck you." Zhang Ping slammed the urgent document in his hand on the table, "Suddenly in the east, suddenly in the west, at the same time, Han cavalry appeared in both places, and the number was thousands. With such a large number of people, it’s possible that the Han generals can spread the beans to form an army. These useless things are nothing more than the Han army’s scouts or small groups.”

"General, no matter whether these counties below are lying about their military situation, the Han army's cavalry of up to 5,000 people is indeed wandering around Dai County. Several of our grain transport teams have been robbed by them. If this continues, the troops in each county will It's a problem for the garrison to even have food!" said an official.

"How come I don't know that I have to wipe them out, but how can I do it? General Li did send me three thousand cavalry, but plus the one thousand cavalry I have here, the total is four thousand cavalry, and how many opponents are there? , five thousand people, and five thousand Huns cavalry, even if I block them, how can I defeat them?" Zhang Ping said angrily. "This is a fucking cavalry, cavalry that comes and goes like the wind, cannot accurately If I catch their traces, I won’t even have to fight them.”

"But since General Li has given a death order, if he doesn't do it, I'm afraid he will be blamed."

Hearing the words of the subordinate, Zhang Ping was immediately discouraged, "This Daijun has never surrendered to Zhao. This was the case during Zilan's time, and even more so later. The Han army is bound to win against Daijun. With our current strength, it is impossible to compete with the Han army, and why bother fighting them in Daijun? Why not give up Daijun to them, shrink our strength and keep Shanggu, Hedong, and Jinyang. If this continues, the people in Daijun will be Tens of thousands of soldiers will be killed here alive."

"There is nothing we can do about this. I heard that Mr. Zhao has gone to Hangu Pass and wants to invite the Qin people to send troops to help us defend. Zhou Changshou and the others can invite the Han army, so why can't we invite the Qin army?"

"How can this be compared?" Zhang Ping glared at him, "The Han State is now politically stable and united. As for the Qin State, King Wulie of Qin has died. The new king has just ascended the throne and is focusing on gathering all the major forces in the country. The army is even more powerful. It was because of the unstable morale of the army that Li Xin and Wang Xiao were killed, Wang Jian disappeared, and Meng Tian died in an unknown manner. The people who controlled the Qin army were actually Lu Chao, Zhou Yu and other Yan people. Except for Lu Chao, Zhou Yutanfeng Can people be convinced? At this time of year, do the Qin people dare to send troops? What I am most worried about is that the Qin people are just recruiting us to block the Han army for them and give them a chance to breathe."

"What can we do if this is the case?" The person below lamented, "It's just one day at a time. How can we influence the things above."

Zhang Ping complained for a while, then stood in front of the map. Complaining was a complaint, but things still had to be done. Everyone was now a grasshopper on a thread. Everyone was prosperous, and everyone suffered losses. They couldn't run away from you, and they couldn't jump. I.

"The order was given to all counties and all the garrison troops in each county were dispatched and slowly moved inward along this line. Remember, they must bring more chariots, crossbows and bows and arrows. It is better to be slow than to advance rashly. As long as they can stabilize By staying in formation, the Huns will not attack the heavily fortified infantry positions too much. We will slowly reduce their movement space, and I will lead four thousand cavalry to find their main force."

"General Zhang, didn't you say before that our cavalry is not their opponent?"

"It is true that they are not their opponents, but the routes I chose are all close to our infantry or city walls. What I hope is that instead of us going to find them, they come to us. In this case, we can still rely on the infantry and the city walls. I really haven't thought about annihilating the opponent when I have the advantage of terrain to compete with them, but we can weaken the opponent and reduce their destructive power. This is the limit of what I can do." Zhang Ping sighed softly, "Mansion It is about to fall, how can manpower save it?"
