Kai Fu Han

Chapter 270 2 Sixty Leaving Chapter The troops are divided into three groups
As long as ships are deployed downstream of the two rivers, the enemy can be prevented from crossing the river. Deploying a certain amount of troops in Jimo in the south of the connection line, Jiaojie in the middle, and Haicang Town in the north can make this defense line impregnable.

The Xinghan League has strong water combat capabilities. There is no need to worry about the Jin Kingdom attacking the coastline of the Shandong Peninsula from the water. It only needs to defend the north-south defense line on the west side of the peninsula, and the interior of the peninsula will be as stable as Mount Tai.

Xinghan League's defense depth will also be much greater, and it can stably develop industry.

"Wonderful, looking at it this way, it is really easy to defend but difficult to attack." Jiao Rui admired as he looked at the map.

"Our most important thing now is to initially establish a glue defense line, and then slowly sweep away the cities in Denglai and Denglai states that have not yet surrendered." Liu Xinqi said.

"The generals obey!"

"Yes!"

All the generals stood up straight and waited for Liu Xinqi's division of labor arrangements.

"lofty!"

"exist!"

"You are responsible for leading the remaining ships of the Second Fleet and [-] marines to Haicang Town, occupying Haicang Town, defending the northern part of the Shandong Peninsula, and doing a good job in guarding the Bohai Bay."

"Yes! Alliance Lord."

Then Liu Xinqi continued to order.

Cui Wu was in charge and assisted by the First Fleet.The First Fleet first transported the First Infantry Battalion by sea to Jiaozhou Bay, and then assisted the First Infantry Battalion in attacking and occupying Jimo County and Jiaozhou Bay.After the occupation, the First Infantry Battalion was responsible for defending the southern route of the Shandong Peninsula, while the First Fleet went south to continue the maritime trade of the Jiangnan and Xinghan Alliance.

Liu Xinqi promised that after a new batch of recruits are trained, a fleet of boats will be stationed in Jimo County to help defend the Gushui River and prevent possible attacks from the sea by Zhao State in the south.

"How could Zhao attack us?" Liu Xinang asked.

"You remember, there are only permanent interests between forces and between countries, but there are no permanent allies. If one day our Xinghan Alliance threatens Zhao's dominance, they will immediately wave their butcher's knife at us."

Seeing that no one had any doubts, Liu Xinqi continued with the arrangements.

Liu Xinang was in charge, leading the [-]nd Infantry Battalion and the [-]st Cavalry Battalion to occupy Jiaoshui County by land. Then the infantry defended the city and the cavalry patrolled the entire Jiaoshui defense line. As a mobile force, they could support Haicang Town and Jimo County at any time.

The third fleet, headed by captain Li Cang, escorted the cargo ships in the alliance and went to Korea and Japan to continue to maintain this trade route and inject supplies into the Xinghan Alliance.

The remaining [-]rd, [-]th, [-]th and [-]nd Cavalry Battalions returned to Penglai with Liu Xinqi.

First go to Ye County, leaving a company of troops to defend, then pass through Huang County, return to Penglai for supplies, then take a boat to Muping and occupy Mouping County, and finally go to Wendeng by land and occupy Wendeng County.

Laiyang, located in the center of Denglai and Denglai states, will remain at the end.

Liu Xinqi planned to occupy all the two prefectures of Denglai and Denglai before the year-end settlement of the first year of Jingyan, and then increase his power value as much as possible, and ultimately increase the income from the year-end settlement.

"Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Everyone said it clearly, but there were obviously some doubts in their eyes, and there were details that needed to be asked. Liu Xinqi simply talked to everyone one by one, and explained and answered their questions one by one.

One of the issues that everyone was most concerned about was about supplies. In the end, Liu Xinqi discussed with everyone and decided that Haicang Town and Jimo County would obtain supplies from the sea, while Glue would first transport the supplies to Haicang Town and then by land to Glue City.Of these three defense points, the supply of Glue City is the most labor-intensive, but Liu Xinqi believes that once things are sorted out later, the tax revenue from Glue will be able to support the self-sufficiency of Glue's garrison.

"There will definitely be more and more times when you are on your own in the future. You must believe that you can complete the task well. Don't put too much pressure on Denglai's city. The city of Denglai is continuously drained of blood by the puppet Qi, and your own defensive capabilities are already very weak. If you have anything you don’t understand or have difficulty making a decision in the future, you can contact the League in time, and the League will give you intellectual support."

"What if it's an emergency?" Cui Wu asked. "Of course, you can only make your own decisions on urgent emergencies. If it can be delayed for a long time or a day, I will immediately equip you all with falcons, and you will be able to communicate quickly by then." Liu Xinqi replied.

"Okay, it's getting late. Make arrangements for the night shift. Get some rest. We'll be busy again tomorrow."

After everyone dispersed, Liu Xinqi took charge of the first shift and came to the prisoner camp.

At the time of the discussion just now, all the prisoners of the Jin Kingdom had been surrendered, and now they were eating thick porridge with salted fish slices.

It turned out that the general was being guarded alone in a small circle.

Liu Xinqi walked over and saw these people wolfing down the thick porridge in their bowls, and then eating the fish fillets in several bites.

"How many days have you been hungry?" Liu Xinqi asked.

The captured generals looked at Liu Xinqi, but no one spoke. Finally, a more prestigious one replied: "I haven't had enough to eat in the past three or four days, and today I haven't even eaten a grain of rice."

Liu Xinqi had previously shot the cavalry battalion to eliminate the small group of troops of the Jin-Qi coalition that went out to harvest grass in the valley, causing the Jin-Qi coalition's plan to collect grain and grass from surrounding villages and towns to fail.

"I'm very curious. Looking at your past battles, today's situation is not a desperate situation, right?" Liu Xinqi asked the Jin Army general.

"No, actually, I know that if I fight with you, I can still escape. At least half of the soldiers and horses can escape back to the Kingdom of Jin alive." The general replied.

"Then why?" Liu Xinqi asked doubtfully.

The generals were silent.

"Actually, there were people who strongly opposed surrender before, but we united and killed them." After waiting for a while, the general said.

Liu Xinqi did not interrupt and waited quietly for what he said next.

"Being hungry is a trivial matter. You can't starve to death for a few days. Besides, you can kill a horse and eat meat to satisfy your hunger."

The horses that died along the way were not eaten.

"Not being able to see the way forward is the main reason."

"Musket?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"Yes, there are also those weapons that sound like thunderbolts and kill people all at once." The Jin Army general seemed to recall the tragic situation on the battlefield before, and his eyes were a little erratic.

"Then we won't surrender directly." Liu Xin asked.

"Wanyan Jingzhe is our master," the general replied.

Liu Xinqi understood.

Although the State of Jin was powerful and defeated Zhao State one after another, their system was not more advanced than that of Zhao State.It was just that the Zhao State used civility to control military force, resulting in extremely low military force, and the emperor was weak, playing a good card to pieces.

The city of Bianjing was broken because the emperor went out of the city and entered the camp of the Jin army, and was directly captured. It was really a suffocating magical operation.

The Kingdom of Jin is still in a slave society, and these cavalrymen are equivalent to Wanyan Jingzhe's slaves. The master fell out of battle and died in battle, but the slaves escaped alive. The top brass of the Kingdom of Jin will not let go of these generals who escaped.
