Chapter 669 It’s time to take action

After Dali's money became worthless, merchants were even more reluctant to sell the supplies they had.

Business activities have almost stopped.

People's livelihood is in decline.

Fan Yang and Jiang Boya looked at each other, and both of them couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. This fight for world supremacy was different from what they imagined.

This time, they had no use at all, which made the two of them doubt themselves. Are they not good at their studies?

Thinking about it later, maybe it wasn't that they weren't good at studying, but that their opponents were too strong.

To be honest, Xie Zhan, the Commander-in-Chief of Military and Horses, was already very strong, but Lu Songli, the Lord of Pingzhou, was firmly beating him.

They sincerely felt that without Lu Songli, the Governor would definitely restore the unification of Dali.

Sometimes people really don't understand that Lu Songli, a woman, can actually have the ability of Guan Zhong. She has superb economic and financial means, and her methods are difficult to guard against.

"Perhaps, we should make use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses." Fan Yang said thoughtfully.

Jiang Boya was convinced.

Xie Zhan nodded slightly.

He learned from the pain and came back to his senses.

Knowing that Lu Songli is very powerful in the field of commodity economy, it is really unwise to compete with her in this area.

As long as they choose to focus their struggle on political warfare, they will not lose so miserably.

"Lu Songli's stomach is more than eight months old," Fan Yang said quietly.

Everyone present understood the underlying meaning of Fan Yang's words.

Eight months later, delivery is not far away.

It's time to take action. You can't wait until she's done with it, right?

Seeing that Xie Zhan was silent, Fan Yang couldn't help but persuade him, "Master Governor, a man, if you want to achieve great things, don't stick to trivial matters."

Others present also expressed their opinions.

"Grand Governor, this is a rare opportunity for us."

Although using such clandestine methods is not fair and aboveboard, as long as Lu Songli is solved, Pingzhou will inevitably be leaderless, and it will be easier to solve it later if they are defeated one by one in a targeted manner.

"Master, I believe that if Pingzhou seizes such an opportunity, they will not let us go."

Looking at the earnest eyes of his subordinates, Xie Zhan said, "This matter must be considered in the long run."

Pingzhou, Changli

What happened in Dali recently not only confused Fan Yang and others, but also Guo Chong, Dong Jichuan and others were amazed.

The three of them drank together under the moonlight.

"The governor's move is amazing. It not only greatly weakened Dali's overall strength, but also reduced the pressure on Pingzhou's army." Dong Jichuan really felt that his eyes had been opened.

Xue Xu smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the war could be fought like this, right?" He was the first person to follow the governor, and he also knew that the governor was talented.

Dong Jichuan took another sip of wine, and then said drunkenly, "Before, before my master died, he declared that after I reached middle age, the Han people would suffer a catastrophe. After my master passed away, I swore that if my master The prophecy is true, I must assist the Ming Lord to resist foreigners and overthrow the old tradition..."

Now, Guo Chong feels that since the governor is so good, they might as well set longer-term and more ambitious goals.

They can follow the governor, drive out the Tartars, unify the world, and create a prosperous age!

Guo Chong also drank all the wine in his hand, "According to the news received, there is another large wave of people from Dali rushing towards our Pingzhou."

Recently, their troops have captured the four counties of Zhuozhou, Hejian, Bohai and Leling. These four counties can also be regarded as the hinterland of the Central Plains. At present, their entire Pingzhou has a population of six million.

"Will Dali let him go? Will he provide guidance?" Xue Xu was drunk and asked a question that made people shake their heads.

Dong Jichuan stretched out a finger and shook it, "Of course not, but I tell you secretly, the people will run away."

We must not underestimate the people's yearning for survival and a better life.

"Is that so?" Xue Xu took another sip of wine. They had just settled the people who fled Zhuozhou, and now there is another group? It's really painful and joyful.

"I don't know how many people can come this time?"

Guo Chong replied, "I don't know." People are more excited but less active. If you add in those who give up halfway, there will be even fewer people who can reach Pingzhou.

However, he thinks the problem is not big. They only need to plant the seeds of the people of Dali to love Pingzhou. When they attack the city of Dali in Pingzhou in the future, they can reduce the resistance and resistance of the people.

As Guo Chong and others expected, the life of the people in Dali was very difficult.

Life was getting sad, and the Luo family in Chang'an once again thought of going to Pingzhou.

At this time, Pingzhou sent some food to the Luo family in the name of relatives. So, they stayed again with peace of mind.

…

The strength of Pingzhou's army is no worse than that of Dali, or even slightly better. In addition, Pingzhou's division is well-known this time, and it is fighting a battle of justice and reason, and its morale is high.

On the contrary, the morale of Dali's soldiers was low.

Although Dong Guowei always asked his generals to boost the morale of the soldiers, the effect was not good.

Therefore, after the Jintai Army led by Qin Zhaobu and Qin Sheng received the follow-up support from Pingzhou, it didn't take much time for them to attack from both sides and quickly penetrated the entire Hejian area.

Dong Guowei realized that the situation was over and he could not stop Pingzhou from connecting the land into one area. Then he led his soldiers to retreat slowly and built defense lines in Anping, Qinghe, and Jinan.

Qin Sheng, Qin Zhao and others did not take advantage of the victory to pursue them. They occupied the land of four counties and needed to digest it.

Sun Congyi had just withdrawn from the front line and went to the cafeteria to eat. He casually asked, "There was a lot of noise just now. What happened?"

"Nothing, nothing. The logistics department just transported a batch of food and grass. Everyone was helping to load and unload the food and grass."

Sun Congyi and other Sun family soldiers were very satisfied after hearing this. Since joining Pingzhou, they no longer have to worry about being hungry during the war. Pingzhou's logistics are very powerful, and food and grass are usually provided in sufficient quantities.

This is right. How can they let these soldiers fight and worry about food and grass?

One day, Sun Congyi led the Sun family army to challenge outside Anping City as planned.

The troops stationed in Anping County were Liu Mao's troops.

Liu Mao was one of the three generals of the original Southern Expedition Army.

They can be said to be fellow villagers meeting each other.

The general defending the city, Chang Zhilan, saw that the people on the opposite side looked ruddy, but what about his side?

The faces were pale and sallow.

"General Chang, you look a little weak." Sun Congyi shouted to the top.

Fu Lianheng skillfully said, "There's nothing you can do about being weak. If you follow Dali, you'll be hungry for nine meals in three days."

Chang Zhilan: "Nonsense!"

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

The soldiers on the wall heard Sun Congyi's words, and their minds were immediately scattered.

What, serving in Pingzhou, eating three meals a day? Luxury, too luxury!

But, isn't it said that the price of food is soaring now?

"Captain Fu, tell them what we are going to eat for lunch today?"

"If we have pig-killing dishes for lunch, it will be very delicious, haha."

Pig-killing dishes? The soldiers on the opposite side swallowed their saliva when they heard this.

Some quick-witted people heard Sun Congyi's address to Fu Lianheng. Fu Lianheng was captured in the East China Sea. After joining the Pingzhou Army, he was promoted to the rank of captain so quickly?

After Sun Congyi showed off the food of the Pingzhou army, he had people challenge him in front of the city gate for half an hour, and then ordered them to call off the troops and go back to eat!

The soldiers stationed in Anping County watched their fellow villagers slowly evacuate, and they just felt that they were really hateful!

The soldiers guarding the city suddenly felt very bored and felt very uncomfortable. What did they join the army for? First of all, of course, it was to have enough food. They were not even allowed to have enough food, and they were expected to fight hard on the battlefield?

Think about Sun Congyi and others. They were all brothers in the past. It was fine if they turned against each other, and they served their respective masters. But now, it is obvious that others are living a better life than them, which is a bit uncomfortable.
