Chapter 353 Ambush
It’s not that Li Qi Group really has no money, it’s just that opening a military factory requires too much money, and the money does not directly generate income after being spent. Those in charge of money and food must take into account the current income and expenditure of various finances,
As well as long-term financial planning, I dare not make decisions easily, and things are delayed again and again.
At the same time, Li Qi also knew that there have been frequent wars in recent years. Not only is the war itself a huge expense, but it also hinders production and consumption. If the original plan remains unchanged, I am afraid that after the Cao and Sun families are defeated, the military factories will be destroyed.
There is no chance of completion, but in the process, more and more painful prices will be paid.
After a night of thinking and being unable to verify the accounts with Jiangling, Li Qi could only give a rough plan: official allocation of money and investment from the family.
"I heard that Deheng is not only good at making military equipment, but he is also good at creating industrial and agricultural equipment."
"Yes...yes, Jun once made a silk weaving machine and...a keel waterwheel. In his...free time, he also made...a water-turning hundred...hundred-play diagram."
"That's very good. You can go back to Jiangling, raise funds from aristocratic families, and open a civilian factory to produce industrial and agricultural equipment, and promise generous returns. I will allocate money and food to you to make military equipment."
Because industrial and agricultural equipment can not only increase productivity, it can also generate income itself. If a powerful family invests in the production of industrial and agricultural equipment, they can also get benefits. This has become an ordinary business, and no one wants to have trouble with money.
.After the land, factories, and equipment are all ready, Li Qi allocates another part of the funds for Ma Jun to engage in research and production of military equipment, which can save a lot of money.
It's like Ma Jun asked Shijia to invest money to open a shopping mall. The building was repaired, the decoration was completed, and the counter was put in. Li Qi ran and said: Move a counter out for me. I won't take advantage of you. I will move the counter myself.
In addition to professional technical workers, other administrative staff and administrative offices can also be shared.
"Ah this..." Ma Jun understood what Li Qi meant, but how could he speak so powerfully to the noble family?
Li Qi knew what Ma Jun was worried about, so he wrote a letter to Ma Jun himself, saying: "Take my letter and go to Jiangling to find the chief historian Jia Xu, and Wen He will help you handle it."
Jia Xu is now older, so it would be a bit difficult for him to go on an expedition with the army, but there is no problem in letting him come up with ideas at home.
After the problem was solved, Li Qi chatted with Ma Jun for a while, focusing on understanding some of the situation in Chang'an, Yong and Liangzhou from his mouth - after all, some problems did not require Zhuge Liang to report them one by one, but that did not mean that Li Qi could
Don't care at all.
After learning that Zhuge Liang not only attached great importance to production and quickly restored the chaos caused by the war in Chang'an, but also got along well with ethnic minorities such as Qiang and Di, Li Qi felt a lot more relaxed, and the fatigue of not sleeping all night was gone.
null.
However, some people feel mentally fatigued even after a night's sleep.
Dozens of miles away from Li Qi's camp, Wu Qi stared at his two panda eyes and yawned in distress.
They came to chase Zang Ba, so they didn't bring any tools for camping, so they spent the night in the open in the light rain. It was so cold that goosebumps appeared all over their bodies.
If the general of an army is like this, let alone the treatment of the soldiers.
Wu Qi cursed in a low voice: "Those idiots Xu Sheng and Zhu Huan were sent by Marquis Wu to rob the city, but they helped Li Qi withstand the thunder."
If it weren't for Xu, Zhu Er would have intercepted Zang Ba halfway, causing Zang Ba to raid Li Qi's camp and attack Li Qi with Zhang Liao. Wu Qi felt that he had captured Chungu now, holding Li Qi's head in one hand.
He was holding Zhang Liao's head in one hand.
Now the strategic goal he set for himself has not been completed, and the goal set by Ding Feng to pursue Zang Ba has not been completed. If he goes back like this, he will face a military order!
Therefore, Wu Qi did not dare to return to Wanling, so he only took his five thousand troops to rest and recuperate on the spot, waiting for the opportunity.
At this time, the spies from the front reported: "General Wu, at the fifth watch today, Zhao Yun led a group of cavalry to the east of Spring Valley."
Wu Qi said: "Is this going to raid Zang Ba's camp?"
Thinking of this, Wu Qi perked up and said overjoyed: "Thank you for your help!"
The captain, the military commander, and others did not know what he meant, so they asked: "What is General Wu's clever plan?"
Wu Qi said: "Zang Ba did not enter Spring Valley, but he set up camp in the east of Spring Valley. He and Zhang Liao must be on separate sides and supporting each other. Now that Zhao Yun is leading his cavalry to attack Zang Ba, why should Zhang Liao not save him? By then, Spring Valley City will be inside
It must be empty, isn’t this a great opportunity for us to take back Spring Valley?”
The captain looked at the listless soldiers and asked, "But we don't have any siege equipment?"
Wu Qidao: "I can think of it. How could Generals Xu Sheng and Zhu Huan not think of it? We just need to rush to Spring Valley and fight together."
The captain of the department grasped the clue. Since everyone can think of it, Zhang Liao can't think of it?
Besides, I haven't heard from spies that Generals Xu and Zhu are planning to attack the city.
Wu Qi didn't care. Wu Qi was much higher than these big-headed soldiers in terms of class and cultural quality. In his past life, there were countless people around him who were flattering him, so Wu Qi was very confident in his judgment, so he ordered the troops to
Follow orders.
The morale of Jiangdong's soldiers was already very low, and when they encountered such an amateur leader, they lost all fighting spirit and marched extremely slowly. Wu Qi, who had never led troops on an expedition, did not know that the marching speed was extremely slow.
It's normal to trek on the road for days and not get enough rest.
In fact, Zang Ba was particular about where he chose to camp. At least there was a smooth road from Spring Valley to his camp. Firstly, it was convenient for the two armies to rescue each other. Secondly, it was difficult for the enemy to set up an ambush along the way.
Therefore, Deng Ai set up an ambush one mile away, and then kept sending people to probe for information, and then accurately calculated the time to intercept Zhang Liao.
There is a piece of paper in Deng Ai's hand.
Yes, paper is a rare thing, but at Deng Ai's level, there is no problem using a piece of rough paper to demonstrate data.
There are several black spots and straight lines on the paper, including two exploration locations, an ambush location, an interception location and their routes. Based on the two exploration locations and the time reported by the spies, the speed of Zhang Liao's cavalry attack was calculated, and then based on his own infantry and
The speed of the crossbowmen and the distance from the best ambush site found in advance are used to calculate the time to go to the ambush site. The purpose is to arrive at the ambush site at the same time or slightly earlier than Zhang Liao's troops, so as to catch him off guard.
The entire calculation process is only at the level of sixth grade primary school in later generations. Deng Ai once studied in a school in Jiangling. With his IQ, his calculation ability has surpassed the teacher who taught him at the time. He likes to travel through the Three Kingdoms, and please collect it from the beginning: (
