Chapter 133 Li Cun: I am a fox pretending to be a tiger? (Ask for a monthly pass!)

...

Li Cun knew that Chen Miaozhen had a high prestige in the Wuzhou Army, but Li Cun did not expect that Chen Miaozhen's prestige in the Wuzhou Army would be so high.

A large number of Wuzhou soldiers are like fanatical believers in front of Chen Miaozhen.

This kind of fanaticism is different from the radical fanaticism of Manichaeism.

How to describe this, it's like the kind of respect for people with particularly high morals, and it also means a bit of a groupie.

Seeing this, Li Cunxin said: "I knew that Chen Miaozhen had such a high prestige among the soldiers in Wuzhou, why would I waste so much effort to settle Chen Miaozhen, even if Zhu Yan and the others want to rebel, Chen Miaozhen will stand up Therefore, the soldiers in Wuzhou should not be able to rebel against Zhu Yan and the others."

Not just Wuzhou soldiers, Li Cun found that wherever Chen Miaozhen went, he would meet "believers" and "fans".

To be honest, Chen Miaozhen's prestige in the Liangzhe area is really second to none.

In addition, as a "Chen Miaozhen man", Li Cun is very respected.

This kind of respect is really not because Li Cun is the commander of Huben Army, but because Li Cun is Chen Miaozhen's man.

To be honest, since the uprising, it was the first time that Li Cun had the feeling of "a fox pretending to be a tiger".

Seeing this, Li Cun couldn't help thinking, if I really took this Chen Miaozhen, would it increase my prestige?
As soon as this thought appeared, Li Cun, who has always been mean and shameless, had no bottom line, and his first thought was: "If you fight against such a kind woman, are you still human?"

But then the dark side of Li Cun's human nature took the upper hand: "I am also protecting her and helping her. With me, she can help more people who are suffering, so that she can maximize her kindness."

After gaining enough prestige in the Wuzhou Army, Li Cun gathered the generals and superintendents of the Wuzhou Army and held a meeting for them, telling them not to relax their ideological education while focusing on training, and to pay attention every day. Teach the soldiers to read three characters, and in the future, the generals will be promoted and their salaries will be raised. Literacy will be one of the evaluation criteria.

By the time Li Cun and Chen Miaozhen returned to Li Cun's Chinese army tent, it was already dark.

Li Cungui said in a strange way: "That... Mrs. Chen, otherwise you will be included in my account, how about I talk about medical skills?"

To be honest, as a human being in two lives, Li Cun was so unconfident in his first flirting with a girl, and he felt a little ashamed when he flirted with a girl for the first time, and even regretted it as soon as he spoke for the first time.

It is not an exaggeration to say that in the previous life when Li Cun was 35 years old, when the little girl who harmed a girl asked her whether she would come to his home for a sit-down, she never wanted to slap herself as soon as she said the words like now.

What Li Cun never expected was that Chen Miaozhen agreed straight away: "Okay."

This time it was Li Cun's turn to indulge in flowers for two lifetimes.

After reacting for a while, Li Cuncai asked, "Do you know what I mean?"

Chen Miaozhen nodded: "I know it myself."

Li Cun was still not sure that Chen Miao really understood what he meant, so he confirmed it again: "What do I mean?"

Chen Miaozhen blushed when she heard the words, but she still answered generously: "The governor wants to take a concubine as a concubine."

"That……"

"I am willing."

After completely confirming that Chen Miao was really willing to go in with him and have sex on the army bed, Li Cun couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Li Cun never doubted his own charm. In this era, Li Cun even dared to seduce and sleep with the queen.

But Chen Miaozhen...

Chen Miaozhen saw Li Cun's hesitation, and took the initiative to say: "This concubine has been wandering around in recent years. I am tired and tired. I also hope to have a home and someone to rely on, and the governor is wise and open-minded. I will not prevent my concubine from treating illnesses and saving lives... ..."

After hesitating for a while, Chen Miaozhen said calmly: "I admire the governor's character, knowledge, and courage, and I am willing to commit myself to the governor."

Who would have thought? !
Who would have thought? !
Who would have thought that in this feudal society, Li Cun would be confessed by a woman? !

At this time, if Li Cun still hesitates, then Li Cun will really waste his self-proclaimed title of "Love Saint"!

Li Cun didn't say a word, he hugged Chen Miaozhen by the waist, and then returned to the account to study medical skills...

……

Zhu Yan said that Li Cun had won every step of the way, and he was not wrong.

The Song army on the northern front thought they had a chance of victory by crossing the river, so they were dreaming.

First of all, Li Cun lost only the Huben Navy of Jiangning Mansion, and not all of them.

In addition to the tiger and ben navy in Jiangning Prefecture, Li Cun also has [-] tiger and ben navy in Zhenjiang, [-] tiger and ben navy stationed in Hangzhou port, [-] tiger and ben navy stationed in Fujian, and [-] tiger and ben navy stationed in Liuqiu. Huben navy.

In fact, there is no need to dispatch all these tiger and ben water troops. Only the tiger and ben water army in Zhenjiang and the remnants of the tiger and ben water army in Jiangning Prefecture can once again block the way for the Song army to continue crossing the river, cutting off the food, supplies and supplementary troops of the Song army who have crossed the river. .

Moreover, just to be on the safe side, Li Cun had already sent the Huben Navy in Hangzhou Port to support the Huben Navy in Zhenjiang. When the two naval forces converged, the Hengjiang River would be locked again, and the Song Army would not be able to fly the Yangtze River even with its wings.

Li Cun had already received the news that after Jinling City was broken, Shen Liang, the head of the Huozuo capital, blew up the Huozuo and Gunpowder Works, causing half of Jinling City to burn.

In this fire, the food stored in Jinling City was burned to the ground, and the remaining food was simply not enough for the 10,000+ Song troops who had crossed the river to eat for too long.

In this way, the 10,000+ Song army that Liu Yanqing brought across the river went deep alone.

Now there are only the following roads before Song Jun who has crossed the river:
Or, the Song army who crossed the river went to join the Song army on the western front, and the two Song armies merged into one.

In this case, there is nothing to say, Li Cun just needs to find a fighter and fight the Song army.

Or, the Song army who crossed the river chose to attack the important cities of the Huben army, obtain enough food, grass and supplies and build a rear that can advance, attack, retreat and defend, and then rely on this rear to fight steadily with the Huben army.

From the current point of view, Liu Yanqing, who is more stable in tactics, should have chosen this path.

However, this road is not so easy to walk. In the city of Zhenjiang alone, the Song army has already lost tens of thousands of casualties.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, Liu Yanqing probably won't be able to defeat Zhenjiang City for a while.

Don't forget the key point, this is just the city of Zhenjiang.

After that, there are dozens of cities, large and small.

Of course, it is impossible for all cities to be as difficult to fight as Zhenjiang City.

However, the total number of Song troops crossing the river is limited, and the less they consume, the less they consume.

Even if each of these dozens of cities consumes only a few hundred soldiers of the Song army who crossed the river, the vitality of the Song army who crossed the river will be greatly injured.

If there were three or five cities like Zhenjiang City, then it might not be necessary for Li Cun to lead his army to a decisive battle with the Song army who had crossed the river.

The point is that if there are always cities that cannot be defeated, it will also wear down the morale of the Song army.

In the era of cold weapons, morale is an important factor in determining the outcome of a war.

Of course, the Song army had a third way to go, which was to give up attacking cities and plunder civilians instead.

There will certainly not be a loss of troops in robbing the food of the common people.

But this will make Zhao Song further lose the popular support in Li Cun's territory.

And the hearts of the people are always the foundation of victory in wars.

If the Song Army really dared to go against the grain, then even if the Song Army could achieve a short-term victory, it would definitely fail in the end.

What's more, Li Cun wiped out the foundation of Zhao Song's rule in his territory, that is, the landlord and gentry class.

Therefore, in Li Cun's territory, the Song army could not get any active support at all, especially after it dared to rob the people.

In this case, even if Zhao Song could barely defeat Li Cun, as long as Li Cun survived, he could easily regain his territory.

but--

Zhu Yan felt that Li Cun would not be in a hurry at every step, and he was not entirely right.

Because the Song Army who crossed the river actually still has a way to go.

That is, desperately rushing to Xiuzhou to rescue the only city in eastern Zhejiang that is still under Zhao Song's control-Xiuzhou City.

At the beginning, when Fang La and Li Cun revolted, Chen Yun, who was the dispatch envoy of Huainan at that time, was personally escorting 300 million shiqiu grain to the north.

When the autumn grain was transported to Hangzhou, Chen Yu learned that the Huben Army was on its way to attack Hangzhou and would soon reach Hangzhou City.

Chen Yun advised Chen Jianli to fortify the wall and clear the country, and stand firm and wait for help.

But Chen Jian was not interested in Chen Yun's suggestion at all, he just wanted to burn the food and grass in Hangzhou City, and then escaped.

Seeing that Chen Jian could not achieve a major event, Chen Yun continued northward to Xiuzhou with 300 million Shi Qiuliang, reported to Song Zhaonian, the magistrate of Xiuzhou, and recommended the idea of ​​sticking to it and waiting for help.

Song Zhaonian felt that Chen Yun's idea was feasible, so he agreed with Chen Yun's idea.

Seeing that Song Zhaonian agreed to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, Chen Yu said that the ant thief would definitely take a detour to intercept the autumn grain and move it into the city as soon as possible.

Therefore, Chen Yu and Song Zhaonian immediately organized the soldiers and civilians in Xiuzhou City to move the 300 million stone autumn grains to the city...

It was guessed by Chen Yun.

Li Cun searched for food, grass and ships as soon as he occupied Hangzhou City.

When Li Cun learned that 300 million Shi Qiuliang had just passed through Hangzhou, Li Cun immediately sent Niu Wei, who was then the commander of the Huben Horse Army, to lead the horse army to take a shortcut to intercept the 300 million Shi Qiuliang.

Feeling unsafe, Li Cun then transferred Sun He to lead the then Huben Zuo Army to meet Niu Wei.

What Li Cun didn't expect was that when Niu Wei led the guards and horse troops to the Xiuzhou section of the canal, the soldiers and civilians in Xiuzhou City had almost moved all the 300 million Shi Qiuliang into Xiuzhou City. Niu Wei and the others only intercepted [-] ships that almost all bottomed out.

The 300 million shi of grain, together with the grain already in Xiuzhou City, is enough for the 10,000+ Song army who crossed the river to eat for three years.

Even with the addition of those Song troops on the western front, it would be enough to last for a long time.

If Liu Yanqing had the courage to attack Xiuzhou with his horse army, it might really cause Li Cun a lot of trouble.

However, Li Cun judged that Liu Yanqing, who was cautious to the extreme, should not have such courage.

In other words, since Sun Hebu grew stronger, he has been attacking Xiuzhou City.

But Sun He and Qi Fang racked their brains, but they failed to take down Xiuzhou City, which was guarded by Chen Yun.

It has to be said that Chen Yun really lived up to his reputation as a famous general.

And Li Cun never cared about the city of Xiuzhou City, which made Xiuzhou City exist for so long.

Now that the war is imminent, and Li Cun is not going to surround the spot to fight for aid, how can he leave Xiuzhou City as a nail to ruin his own affairs?
So, after the army was assembled, Li Cun ordered to set up camp and head to Xiuzhou City...
