Chapter 305 Breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat (1)
"Bastard." Zhang Liang stared at the information in his hand angrily. He was always gentle and gentle. At this time, he couldn't help but get angry. In just seven days, the situation took a sharp turn. After losing a lot of food and grass, all the anti-Qin forces' ideas coincided, and they were collecting food from civilians.
But the final result was that except for the Dongjun, because Zhang Liang and others were in charge, the other forces did not have the foresight of Zhang Liang and others, which completely aroused the conflicts at once. Of course, there was also Ye Wuji's secret arrangement.
When the civilians resisted, they secretly killed several soldiers, and the conflict was suddenly aroused. In order to avenge their comrades, others could not think of so many.
In fact, it is common to collect food on the spot in the era of cold weapons wars, especially for long-distance expeditionary troops. The well-disciplined army will exchange money for food, and not only collect a small part of it each household to make up for the shortage of military rations.
There is also the extermination policy implemented by going deep into the enemy country. This is very common in the Warring States Period. For example, if Qin wants to attack Zhao State, the people they meet along the way must be silenced. If a village appears on the road, it will only be that the village is unlucky.
Similarly, if Zhao wants to attack Qin, the same is true.
But taking away all the food from civilians rarely occurs, especially doing so on your own rule, which will have an incalculable impact on your future rule.
However, now all forces are no longer able to consider it so far. They are not fools. They also understand the disadvantages of doing this, but if they don’t do this, they can’t get through now and think about the future.
"What a trick to get rid of the fire from the bottom of the pot." Zhang Liang vented his anger and calmed down, but in the face of this situation, even if he racked his brains, he could not come up with a solution.
It’s not bad for Dongjun, the farmer’s base is nearby. Dongjun has been deeply penetrated by the farmer’s family. Although the farmer’s family and the wealthy families, powerful and wealthy businessmen in the Dongjun city are not very good, they still have some friendships. In this difficult moment, relying on the support of the big and small families, powerful and wealthy businessmen in the Dongjun city, Dongjun has obtained a certain amount of food and grass. If you save some money, you can support it for a while.
Compared with the blood flowing in other places, Dongjun is considered to be peaceful in the world.
"Although we have solved the urgent problem now, I believe everyone knows that our food can only support for a few days. Once the empire continues to stalemate, we may have to surrender." Tian Yan's words changed the faces of the people present. If the food problem is not solved, as Tian Yan said, it is better to surrender.
The fire some time ago, coupled with the propaganda of those who are interested, all the soldiers of the anti-Qin forces knew that there was no food and how to fight without food. In an instant, the morale of the anti-Qin forces almost fell to the bottom.
Especially the troops on the front line, after seeing the food of the Qin army, they wanted to surrender immediately. While they were drinking porridge, the empire's army had some meat porridge from time to time.
What they even envied even more was that the imperial army had three meals a day.
If the military and legal team had not been surveillance closely, some people would have been deserters, but even under strict supervision, many deserters still fled and stopped doing it.
These deserters are the kind of people who eat alone and the whole family is not hungry. Without the burden of their family, no one dares to become deserters.
The military law of this era punishes deserters very seriously and will affect the family.
Although the number of deserters was not large, it also caused panic among the anti-Qin forces.
Most of the soldiers of the anti-Qin forces were okay to fight the battle with the wind, but once the battle was tough, it would not work. After all, most of them were civilians who could not survive, fleeing labor, and those who were recruited by the strong men.
When the anti-Qin forces had just rebelled, because they were well prepared, they attacked the cities and villages, with unstoppable momentum and seemed to be invincible.
But when they faced Ye Wuji's prepared defense line, the situation immediately became stalemate. That was the most dangerous moment for the empire. Who made the empire seriously insufficient troops? Most of the elite troops of the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry were under Bai Qi's command to resist the attacks of the Xiang clan.
Li Mu and Zhang Han only have a small number of elite soldiers, plus a large number of new recruits, but now these people have become veterans who are fearless after so long of war.
Especially Ye Wuji was equipped with a large number of medical personnel. In the era of cold weapons, more people died under the battlefield than directly killed in the battlefield.
The casualties of these medical personnel, Daqin soldiers, dropped sharply, and the injured soldiers immediately left the ranks of new recruits as soon as their injuries recovered.
Not to mention in the era of cold weapons, even in the era of modern firearms, there were much fewer casualties than there were no medical personnel.
At that time, Ye Wuji even decided that he would take action himself when necessary, but in the end he found that the anti-Qin forces were just like goods.
The Xiang clan and Han Xin were not good at both sides, but the Xiang clan was facing Bai Qi, plus most of the elite soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry.
Han Xin faced Zhang Han who could not hide. The 100,000 land of the farmer family was indeed powerful, but he could not give full play to his advantages in the siege. In addition, Han Xin seemed to be taking advantage of the opportunity to attack the city and wanted to build the 100,000 peasant disciples into an iron-blooded army, but the situation was still stalemate.
In fact, the stalemate between the Empire and the Anti-Qin Alliance was a tacit premeditated result of both sides. Ye Wuji needed to realize his plan and use these three places to let the new recruits see blood.
The anti-Qin forces also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to rectify the army and restore the military discipline. In the plan of Zhang Liang, Tian Yan and others, they would have to hold a stalemate for half a year, and then rectify the army and then take down the empire in one fell swoop.
Wars have always been conspiracy. Even if Ye Wuji is familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War, what if he has the thirty-six strategies? The real battlefield changes rapidly, and it is not something he can play with.
You have your layout, I have my layout.
There are so many anti-Qin forces, and the only ones in Ye Wuji's mind are the Xiang clan, the peasant family, and Wang Ben's armor-piercing soldiers. The remaining forces are just taking advantage of the situation to rob.
Han, Wei, Zhao, Yan, Qi were not as good as one Chu State. When Ying Zheng destroyed the six kingdoms, the main forces of Han, Wei and Yan State were almost wiped out. Zhao's Hu Dao Knight surrendered to the empire and was assigned to the Anxi Town Army. Because Qi surrendered, the army was not damaged, but not only did their army have long been broken, but some of them were naval troops, which had little effect on land.
Look at the current army composition of these five countries, civilians, fleeing labor, soldiers from various countries that surrendered before, etc., what combat power these people have in the combination? If they hadn't hung the banner of the surviving tribes of the six countries, they would actually be no big difference from the robber forces such as Peng Yue.
Only the army of Chu is considered a real army. It has to be said that Chu is worthy of being vast and wealthy. With so many elite troops being annihilated, the elite troops can still form an established army.
The Xiang clan commanded the three armies of Chu, Tenglong, Shadow Tiger, and Lei Bao. After this period of stalemate, the three armies have once again taken shape. Although there is still some gap between the heyday, they can no longer be underestimated.
"From the current situation of the empire, they will definitely continue to wait. Once the soldiers mutiny, they can solve us without a single soldier." Fan Zeng looked worried. Even if he had a lot of military tactics, what's the use if he didn't have soldiers' command?
"There is a way to solve the food problem." Shao Yu suddenly spoke.
"What method?" Shao Yu's words made all the eyes present focus on him.
"There must be enough food here in the empire." Shaoyu ordered Yingchuan County, the former capital of South Korea.
"Indeed, if we want to obtain the food there, we must build it there." Tian Yan, Zhang Liang and others' eyes lit up. They didn't expect this method. They just wanted to solve the problem of food shortage by themselves.
"But it may not be that easy to capture there." Xiaoyaozi said worriedly.
"We must conquer there, only then can we have a chance to win." Shaoyu pressed his finger firmly on the map of Yingchuan County.
"Then I can only try my best to concentrate all our strength."
"Okay, let the empire see our strength." After everyone nodded, Tian Yan and Han Xin immediately began to mobilize their troops.
At the same time, Xiaoyaozi, Zhang Liang and others also began to act.
With their current grain storage, only by conquering Yingchuan County will there be a chance. As for Zhang Han and Li Mu, there is not that much grain.
And there was no chance to mobilize the army to those two sides, and there was not enough food to support the army's march.
"What a courage, do you know who we are? We are soldiers of Chu. We are ordered to collect food and grass. You dare to stop us. You must be spies of the empire." In a small village in the wilderness, a team of Chu soldiers are collecting food and grass here.
Faced with this unreasonable act, the residents of the village certainly would not agree, but the result of their opposition was the cruel suppression of the soldiers.
As many villagers fell in pools of blood, the remaining people did not dare to object, and could only hide aside and look at these Chu soldiers in grief and anger.
As for the team leader on one side, he smiled lewdly, and walked towards a pretty girl hiding on the side with his hands open and claws. Just as he approached the girl and was about to start the move, he heard his subordinates screaming.
When he turned around and saw that all his men were lying on the ground, judging from the blood on his neck, he obviously couldn't survive.
In front of him, a young man, holding a strange black sword, pointed at him coldly.
The team leader was shocked and immediately moved his backstage out. Unfortunately, he was greeted with a black light. Then the team leader covered his neck with his hands in pain and fell down.
After the captain fell to the ground, the young man moved his hand, inserted his black sword behind him, walked to the side coldly, and remained silent.
"Tianming, are you okay?" A girl in a red dress walked to Tianming carefully and shouted worriedly.
"I'm fine." The boy and girl were Tianming and Gao Yue, but they were always cynical, and Tianming, who had always had a smile on their faces, was full of heavy faces at this time.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." The rescued villagers kept kowtowing to Tianming and Gao Yue.
"You don't have to be polite, you'd better leave here as soon as possible. After these people are missing, someone will definitely come here." Tianming helped the old man in front and said with concern.
"Hey, this world has just been peaceful for a few years and is in chaos again. When will it end and when will we have a way out?" The old man looked at the villagers who were still crying and immediately stepped forward and asked them to prepare things quickly so that they could escape from here. As for where they fled, he didn't know, so he could only take one step at a time.
"The world is more chaotic than before." After leaving this sentence, the old man took the villagers away.
"Why, why did such a thing happen? Is this what Shaoyu, the Third Master, Xiao Gao and the others said to be for peace in the world?" Tianming suddenly roared, and the black eyebrows behind him instantly appeared in his hands, and a powerful black sword energy slashed forward.
Bang.
A purple figure appeared in front of the black sword energy, and gently patted the palm forward, which dispersed the black sword energy, "Mother." Gao Yue shouted hurriedly when she saw the person coming.
"This is the first village." Dongjun Yanfei nodded to Gao Yue, then walked to Tianming and asked.
"I don't remember, there are so many villages, how could I remember so many?" Tianming shouted.
"Tianming." Gao Yue's eyes were full of worry. Since some time ago, Gao Yue felt that Tianming was a bit abnormal. Tianming, who had never taken the initiative to kill people, now he is killing people.
After holding back and letting the soldiers run away, Tianming thought the matter was over, but when Tianming returned to the village again, he found that the village had become ruins.
The angry Tianming suddenly burst out, chased after him and killed all the hundreds of soldiers who came to take revenge. Since then, Tianming has been merciless when he takes action.
"Do you still want to continue? Now the whole world is like this, how much can you save?" Dongjun looked at Tianming and said lightly.
"It's ridiculous. The empire called the tyrannical Qin is now in peace. Those who say that the empire overthrew for peace in the world are bloody." Tianming said as he took a deep breath, his face regained its calmness.
The experience during this period has made Tianming take off his tenderness and grow a lot. Although Dongjun’s education is a bit cruel, it has to be said to be very effective.
At this time, Tianming was no longer the carefree boy.
"This is just that each has different positions." Dongjun said lightly.
"I decided to go find Shaoyu, I want to stop him." Tianming's eyes suddenly became extremely firm.
"You can't stop him. He is no longer the Shaoyu you know. He is the young master of the Xiang clan. When he was in the forbidden area of the Mo family, he chose the kingly way, so you should understand." Dongjun said.
"Yes, Tianming, let's go to Xianyang to find Uncle Nie. Don't you want to see Mr. Gai Nie?" Gao Yue advised.
"I won't give up, I will definitely stop him." Tianming said and walked forward.
"What if he doesn't agree?" Dongjun and Gao Yue followed Tianming helplessly.
"Then kill him." Tianming said coldly.
"Mom, it depends on what you have taught." Gao Yue glared at Dong Jun with dissatisfaction. If it weren't for Dong Jun, how could Tianming become like this? Even the words to kill Shaoyu were said, although Gao Yue knew that it was an angry word.
"Yue'er, you should understand very well that no one can survive in this situation. Sooner or later, he will be involved in the storm of the world. If he doesn't let him grow up now, what should he do in the future? The effectiveness of the Sleeping Curse Seal will continue to weaken as his strength increases. Once he recovers his memory, you should understand what situation he will face. With his previous appearance, can he face such a choice?" Dongjun sighed and whispered.
"I understand." When it comes to the Sleeping Curse Seal, Gao Yue could only nod helplessly. If Dongjun hadn't helped suppress it, the Sleeping Curse Seal would have lost its effect.
But even so, the effect of the Sleeping Curse Seal is getting weaker and weaker. Once Tianming recovers his memory, there must be a settlement between him and Gai Nie. Even if Tianming doesn't go to Gai Nie, Gai Nie will definitely look for Tian Ming.
