Chapter 1242 Li Jing attacks
Chapter 1240: Li Jing attacks
The location of the Jin army's secret warehouse is extremely secretive, but the Qiao family, who could not resist collecting grain and grass, had already had evil intentions.
Of course, the Qiao family does not know the locations of all the hidden warehouses in the Hetao, but they still know the locations of most of the Yinshan County.
On the drawings brought back by Murong Longcheng, the locations of the six secret warehouses were marked in detail.
The ten counties of Yinshan have seven hidden warehouses and one with three open warehouses, for a total of ten grain warehouses, while the other two counties have a total of ten grain warehouses, and the entire Hetao has a total of twenty grain warehouses.
The largest Mingku in Yinshan County is naturally located in Yinshan City, while the other two Mingku have been burned down by Yang Liulang in time during the retreat.
In other words, there were seven secret treasuries that fell into Temujin’s hands, and Temujin already knew the locations of six of them.
Temujin handed the drawings to Tuo Lei and ordered Tuo Lei to find all the hidden warehouses. Tuo Lei also acted vigorously and found all six hidden warehouses in less than a day.
As for the last remaining secret warehouse, Tuo Lei also found some useful patterns from the distribution of the six secret warehouses, and conducted a dig-three-foot search, and finally found the location outside a county.
Since then, all seven secret warehouses in the ten counties of Yinshan have fallen into the hands of Yuan Meng.
The grain storage in Yinshan County accounts for half of the entire Hetao grain storage, and the grain storage in the seven hidden warehouses in Yinshan accounts for half of the Yinshan grain storage. In other words, Yuanmeng has obtained a quarter of the entire Hetao grain storage. grain.
Although the Jin army has not developed the Hetao for a long time, due to the promotion of high-yielding grain varieties at the beginning of the development, the amount of grain stored in the Hetao is now extremely large, even enough for an army of 400,000 to fight for a year.
Qin Hao expected to use this batch of grain to unify Hebei, but he didn't expect that as soon as he returned to Hetao after unifying the division and merging the two states, a quarter of the grain reserves would fall into Temujin's hands.
Only a quarter of the grain reserves are enough for an army of 400,000 to fight for three months, and this is a timely help for Yuanmeng, which greatly reduces Yuanmeng's food pressure, so that Yuanmeng will not suffer from food and grass. Bring down the entire country.
Although he only received three months of food and grass, Temujin thought he had already won, because three months was enough for him to storm Yinshan City, and there was still three months of food and grass in Yinshan City!
Three months later, and another three months, and then another three months…
In using the grain and grass of the Han people to attack the Han people, Yuan and Meng were equivalent to not consuming it. It can be said that they took it from the enemy and used it against the enemy.
"Your Majesty, in three days, the first batch of slave troops, totaling 50,000 people, will arrive at Zhenbeiguan, and then the second and third batches will arrive one after another." Tuo Leihui reported.
A glint flashed in Temujin's eyes, and he immediately asked: "How many slave armies have been organized in total?"
“Your Majesty, there are a total of 150,000, but the weapons have not been distributed yet.”
Temujin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why not issue weapons?"
"Your Majesty, the weapons stored in the domestic arsenal have been given priority to the 200,000 new troops recruited, and the remaining weapons are not enough to arm this slave army. We must use the weapons captured in Hetao to defeat the slave army. Armed as an army."
“Are the weapons captured from the Jin army enough?” Temujin asked with some lack of confidence.
“That’s enough. The Jin army is rich and powerful. Our army killed 120,000 militiamen before, and almost every one of them had a steel knife. In addition, there is a lot of surplus from CNOOC in the treasury, which is enough to arm an army of 150,000 slaves.”
Temujin immediately breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Although Yuan and Meng's national power was strong, it was still limited in the end. It was far less wealthy than Qin and Jin. This can be seen from the weapons, equipment and food. At least the Qin and Jin armies did not have to worry about food and equipment.
The gap in heritage between the grasslands and the Central Plains also intensified Temujin's determination to take over the Central Plains.
After all, the grassland is still too poor and all kinds of materials are extremely scarce. The colorful world of the Central Plains is the best place for Yuanmeng to belong. Temujin thought to himself.
“After the slave army arrived in Hetao, they immediately distributed weapons and organized into an army, and then attacked Yinshan City with all their strength.” Temujin ordered. ————
Yinshan City, inside the prefect’s mansion.
“Abominable…”
Yang Liulang smashed the teacup into pieces with one palm, and the fragments pricked his palm, causing blood to flow out. However, he did not feel any pain at all. Instead, he said bitterly: "How did Temujin know the location of the secret warehouse? Oh, regret it or not." Brother Yao said that it should have been burned directly from the beginning, at least it would not have been cheap to Temujin. "
Looking at Yang Liulang with a regretful look on his face, Li Jing sighed in his heart but had no choice. He had persuaded Yang Liulang to burn the food and grass in the secret warehouse, but Yang Liulang rejected Li Jing's request for two reasons.
First, the amount of grain in the secret storehouse was so large that it could only be burned with the order of the Duke of Jin, otherwise he would not dare to issue this order.
Second, the location of the secret warehouse is secret. Not many people in the Jin army know about it, so Temujin will definitely not be able to find it.
It was precisely because of Yang Liulang's hesitation that all seven secret warehouses fell into Yuan Meng's hands. Yang Liulang was extremely regretful about this. If he had known this, he would rather be punished than burn food.
After all, Yang Liulang is still too immature and not decisive enough. Compared with Li Jing, the gap is too big.
"General Yang, it's too late to say this now. We can only do our best to make up for it." Li Jing said solemnly.
Li Jing was transferred by Wang Meng to help Yang Liulang. After all, Yang Liulang was facing Temujin. Wang Meng also lacked confidence in Yang Liulang. However, it was with the help of Li Jing that Yang Liulang defended Yinshan City. Stable in Mount Tai.
Yang Liulang immediately became energetic when he heard this, and asked hurriedly: "Can I still make up for it?"
“Of course, the amount of grain and grass in the seven secret warehouses is huge, and Yuan Meng cannot move them all in a short time.”
“General Li Jing, do you mean to attack and burn the secret warehouse?” Yang Wulang said in shock.
Li Jing nodded and said, "That's right."
Yang Liulang's eyes suddenly lit up, but then he hesitated: "Yuanmeng will definitely deploy heavy troops to guard such an important place as the grain depot, and there are only 10,000 main troops in Yinshan City, which may not be enough to attack and burn the grain depot. "
"Since Yuanmeng captured Zhenbeiguan, our army has been on the defensive. In addition, the number of main forces in Yinshan City is limited. Temujin certainly did not expect that our army would dare to take the initiative to attack. At this time, a battle outside the city will definitely lead to a complete victory. ”
Li Jing had already said this, but Yang Liulang was still hesitating, so he urged him with hatred: "Has the general forgotten the consequences of hesitating in the first place?
Yuan Meng's slave army is about to arrive in Hetao, and when the Xiongnu slave army forms, it will definitely come to attack Yinshan City. By then, we will not be able to fight even if we want to go out.
Liu Lang, as a general, you must be decisive and you will suffer harm! "
Yang Liulang couldn't help but tremble when he heard this. Since his father Yang Ye died in the battle, the fall of Zhenbeiguan and the nine counties of Yinshan put Liulang under too much pressure, and his whole person became a little timid, but this is not The blood and water chestnuts that represent him have been smoothed away.
“This general has decided to send out troops to fight.” Yang Liulang said solemnly.
After hearing this, Li Jing was relieved. Although Yang Liulang was not decisive enough when encountering difficulties, he would not give up the fighter plane he had obtained.
In the end, after Yang Liulang and Li Jing discussed it, Li Jing and Yang Wulang led five thousand elite cavalry to leave the city at night to attack the secret warehouse that fell into Yuan Meng's hands, while Yang Liulang left the remaining troops and militia to guard Yinshan City.
