Chapter 4233: The sweep has begun

Lian Yue and Wei Dan led a group of people to run away. To be honest, Lian Yue was ready to die in battle, but he actually withdrew when he retreated, which made Lian Yue still a little confused.

On the contrary, Wei Dan's expression was somewhat gloomy when he retreated. If some things did not happen, Wei Dan would never have thought of them, but they had already happened, and the follow-up was such a coincidence. It was impossible for Wei Dan to have no doubts at all.

But such a little suspicion quickly dissipated, because even from Wei Dan's standpoint, he knew that if it was the bait, the bait this time was too heavy, so heavy that it would not be able to recover the cost. Chi's death, the fall of Samo and Zha, but the more direct Han Dynasty navy at the mouth of the Ganges River is basically gone.

If this is used as bait, there is nothing worth fishing in the entire Ganges.

"Retreat to Lianbao of the Zhao family and Zhang family in the north." After Wei Dan adjusted, he greeted Lian Yue. At this time, his thinking was very clear, and their safety was not a big problem.

Wei Dan chose to break the embankment in the end, because the Han army's last interceptors were mainly veterans under Lian Yue's command. These people's talent structure is mainly high-explosive and high-kill, so they all have a certain degree of maneuverability. Can get out of battle quickly.

Lian Yue, who was ready to die in battle, seized the opportunity to quickly leave the battle after the flood came. The more than 2,000 soldiers under his command, except for those who died in battle and used negative talents to counterattack, the others basically succeeded. Out of battle.

Although the flood could not completely stop the Guishuang soldiers, the Guishuang soldiers who did not have high-speed maneuverability could not complete the pursuit after the Han army left the battle. It's not easy to use naval guns in the chaos, so Lian Yue and others can only be let into the northern forest.

"Although there are not many people in Sanma and Zha, there are still fifty to sixty thousand. Do the Zhao and Zhang families have enough food?" Lian Yue said solemnly.

The people of Sanma and Zha had also experienced the emergency evacuation drill during Zhong Yao's period earlier, so after Lian Yue dragged on for more than half an hour, they basically completed the retreat, but this kind of retreat could not carry enough food and grass, although because of The prepared ox carts, horse carts, donkey carts, etc. must have carried some supplies, but it is impossible to say that there is enough food and drink for tens of thousands of people.

As a school lieutenant, Lian Yue knows very well that no matter what kind of quality and organizational skills he has, as long as he has no food, it is only a matter of time before he loses control.

"Enough." Wei Dan realized more and more that Zhong Yao's arrangement back then was definitely predictable, at most it was impossible to determine when this event would happen.

Theoretically, even if it is a large family’s food reserves, it is impossible for 50,000 to 60,000 people to eat and drink for a month, and the captives in the Sanma and Zha area are out of control, and it is impossible to transfer food from other places. In this case , Directly accepting 50,000 to 60,000 people is definitely a dead game.

But this is only the situation when a single family faces this situation under normal circumstances. In the hilly area north of the northern forest area of ​​Sanmo and Zhacheng, the Zhang family and the Zhao family's Lianbao were built together, and Zhang Jian and Zhao Qi The two old men like to hoard food the most.

What is the food and grass that 50,000 people eat and drink for a month? Zhang Jian and Zhao Qi have been hoarding grain since the year before last. I heard that they even built grain hoarding holes in hilly areas.

"And there will be people over there to help organize these people." Wei Dan added another sentence. After these words came out, even Yue felt that something was wrong. Ready.

However, as a purely professional soldier, Lian Yue was of excellent quality, so he didn't ask a single extra question, and just organized the soldiers to investigate in the front and mop up the tail in the back.

On Sanmo and Zha's side, Meng Kangbu barely landed successfully, and Wei Dan broke the embankment and ruined the city of Sanmo and Zha. In addition, he burned the granary before running away, even if he didn't completely burn it down. After such a wave of kerosene passed, and mud water was soaked again, it was useless for Guishuang to use it.

However, with Sanmo and Zha in hand, there are grains stored in the people's houses, and there are indeed a lot of them after searching, but these grains are distributed to more than 200,000 captives, and they will definitely not last for a month.

Of course, Meng Kangbu doesn't care about these things. For him, this is an opportunity, a beginning that is completely beyond his expectations. Originally, he still thought about the fact that he could surpass the gods and Buddhas by himself, and the fact that Brahmanism's deep-rooted caste system fanned part of the Ganges River. The people in the lower reaches destroyed the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges, which the Han army had operated for several years.

This method has a very good effect in Meng Kangbu's estimation, but Meng Kangbu doesn't really believe it when it is said that it has caused a lot of damage. The scale can reach 50,000 to 60,000 at most.

However, the bandit army of 50,000 to 60,000 is enough to cause considerable damage in the currently empty middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River, but Meng Kangbu never expected that he could get so many prisoners of his own in this attack on Sanma and Zha. God help.

"How's the situation?" Meng Kangbu stepped in the mud, looked at Sunil and asked.

"The floods of the Han army were mostly used to stop them, and they were not very destructive. After blocking the dam, the problem has been solved. After a rough inventory, the number of prisoners of our army near Sanma and Zha is roughly 170,000 to 200,000. Between 30,000." Sunil replied quickly.

Meng Kangbu even saw a little excitement on Sunil's face at this moment, because everyone knows what this means.

"Select the elite backbone among them to join our army, and see if we can send some of the extra ships away first?" Meng Kangbu said, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

Almost exactly as Zhong Yao estimated, Meng Kangbu was excited, but he was not dizzy.

Although it is the command of the large army, it is impossible for Meng Kangbu to command an army of 200,000, not to mention that he himself has more than 50,000 people. In addition, he has a very detailed plan, it is impossible to lead two One hundred thousand troops marched up the river.

Among other things, Meng Kangbu couldn't bear the pressure of the food and logistics alone. There are more than 200,000 mouths, and it is the rainy season at present, so he has no choice but to feed on the enemy.

"The transport ship can only transport another 40,000 to 50,000 people." Sunil said helplessly.

Guishuang's transportation and loading level is the highest in the world, but they were close to the peak when they came, and now considering some other factors, they can transport up to 40,000 to 50,000 people.

"That's it. If other people say it, gather them together." Meng Kangbu thought about it for a while, and decided not to change his plan. He didn't have time to waste on this aspect, and he needed to go straight up the river as soon as possible, but first roughly unified Let these people understand what they want to do, what they can do, and what benefits they have.

Although Meng Kangbu's prestige is not as good as Oswin's already eccentric generals, but he can still unite the captives. After some explanations, Meng Kangbu let the captives of Samadha understand the current situation—they are expensive Frost is back.

There is nothing doubtful about this. After all, Guishuang has a solid foundation, and it is normal for these captives to fight back. Therefore, after hearing the news, the captives obviously cheered up, and then Meng Kangbu explained Take a look at your own plan.

Just like what Zhong Yao explained to Chen Xi, these captives would definitely not be willing to gnaw hard bones, but when the exile bandits destroy the Han settlements in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River, all the harvest does not need to be handed over, so of course these captives have Interested.

After all, Meng Kangbu has clearly told them that the main force of the Han army has gone to Boluo Si, and they will have a new round of decisive battle with Guishuang, and the rear is empty.

This kind of news is not a secret, and some of the Guishuang prisoners knew about it, so when Meng Kangbu gave such a plan, almost all the Guishuang prisoners were willing to accept it, because in their view, this It is indeed their chance for revenge.

As for the lack of armed forces, this is not a problem. Most of the local people in the Han Dynasty did not have weapons, so these people did not refuse at all. After Meng Kangbu mobilized some captives to supplement his own losses, the remaining nearly The 200,000 captives were quickly broken into pieces, and the so-called destruction of the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges began.

Meng Kangbu took his elites and rushed towards the middle and upper reaches of the Ganges. As for the large warships used to attack Samadha, they had to be sent back to the mouth of the Ganges. Kangbu also had no way to drive into the Ganges.

"What?" Zhao Qi, who was lying on the rocking chair, jumped up when Zhao Qi, the grandson of his family, came to inform him that a large number of people came from Wubao, and the leader was Wei Dan.

"Sama and Zha fell, and when the city wall was hit by naval guns, General Chen was patrolling the top of the city, but was hit by the naval guns and died in battle. Then Guishuang's army came along the river, and even the general defended the breach to buy time. After Wei Changshi dug the dike, he was able to protect the people in the city and retreat." Zhao Jian quickly told Zhao Qi everything he had learned.

Zhao Qi frowned when he heard the words, and asked after a while, "Meng Kangbu is here? How many people did he bring, and how did he cross the mouth of the Ganges River? Didn't Cai Mao and the others lead a lot of navy to block it? Even If it’s completely wiped out, there should be a sound.”

"It should have been annihilated, and I received intelligence from the navy at the last moment." Zhao Jian's face was extremely ugly, "Uncle, what should we do next?"

"The biggest problem is not the complete annihilation of the navy, but the captives of Sanma and Zha. There are almost 200,000 captives there." Zhao Qi said calmly. Although he is basically a hundred years old now, he is not demented. Thinking is still very clear.

Zhao Jian's face twitched twice, but he didn't speak in the end.

"First form formation for the people evacuated here, ensure organization, avoid chaos, separate the old and weak women, and organize women to cook for treatment, and then we can talk about it after a meal." After Zhao Qi finished talking about the captives, he almost There was not much panic, and continued to make arrangements in an orderly manner, "Well, prepare for the transfer of personnel."

"I've already made arrangements for the above. It's just that our Wubao can accommodate the people of Sanma and Zha for a short time, but if it takes a long time, there will be big problems." Zhao Jian explained.

There is no problem with eating and drinking, but there must be a problem with Lazard, and the latter is a big problem, and there is also the problem of accommodation, etc., which need to be considered.

"Solve the food problem first, and then transfer people in batches. There are quite a few families here, and a family with 2,000 people can still come in." Zhao Qi has recovered his calm at this time.

The Zhao family is quite far away from the river, and there is Wubao across the woodland. The possibility of Guishuang hitting them is very small. A worthy Montcombe so packed.

That being the case, don't panic at all. As for the captives, Zhao Qi has some other guesses, but it's hard to say now, and we need to see the situation.

Not long after Zhao Qi lay back in the rocking chair, Zhang Jian came. Although Zhang Jian is now ninety-one, but Zhao Qi is almost one hundred. Anyone who is young will come to visit these days.

Seeing that Zhang Jian didn't get up, Zhao Qi pointed to the rocking chair beside him. Zhang Jian was not polite, and went directly to the rocking chair, and then the two of them lay down quietly. After a while, it rained again outside. Zhang Jiancai said, "What do you think of what happened this time?"

"It's hard to say, let's see what the Guishuang captives will do next." Zhao Qi said slowly, "Have you asked your grandson to investigate?"

"Well, he is acquainted with Cai Degui. The current information is not complete, but it can be confirmed that Cai Degui is not dead. We can confirm Meng Kangbu's first-hand information with him." Zhang Jian said slowly, Zhang Jian's grandson It was Zhang Yun, Liu Biao's nephew.

"Do you also think that this is not a simple matter of conspiracy and calculation?" Zhao Qi said with a bit of fatigue. For the elderly, this level of thinking, even if they have witnessed it before, is extremely tiring.

"If the captives of Sanma and Zha lead to chaos in the Ganges area, and then spread to Guishuang villages in the Ganges area, and there is a large-scale mutual killing, then it must be someone's plan, so I need to find Cai Degui to confirm Details." Zhang Jian said indifferently.

They all lived to be ninety years old, close to a hundred years old, and have experienced so many troubles in the Han Dynasty. For these people, they can see clearly whether they are calculating or not. The only difference is that some calculations make them have to step on , or even step on it willingly.

Just like the mansion they live in now, it is not as good as the mansion in Chang'an, but they are willing, even after death, not to be buried in their homeland, not to be buried in the ancestral grave is a completely accepted fact.

"This can solve the problem." Zhao Qi said calmly.

"But this is a disaster." Zhang Jian said indifferently.

"So we need to wait until Cai Degui confirms the details. Now we are not sure." Zhao Qi looked calm.
