Chapter 2053 Will they fight?

Ever since Wu Fan entrusted Luo Heming with important tasks, Luo Heming secretly vowed to live up to Wu Fan's trust. During this period, he has also done a good job. Under his governance, Qingyuan County is quickly recovering its vitality and getting back on track. , compared with other surrounding cities, Qingyuan County is definitely the safest and best-developed city.

However, Zhao Li's sudden return may make Luo Heming's previous efforts in vain, which makes Luo Heming feel huge pressure.

"Generals." At this time, Tang San spoke again and said, "Although my people have not been able to find their specific hiding place, they have made other discoveries."

"What did you find?" Everyone looked refreshed and asked quickly.

"My people discovered that some people with suspicious identities have appeared in the city recently." Tang San said: "And these people are probably Zhao Li's people!"

Wu Fan told Tang San to speed up the construction of the intelligence organization, with Qingyuan County as the center, expand to surrounding cities, and do a good job in intelligence work. Qingyuan County is their base camp, so Tang San naturally attaches great importance to it. Regarding intelligence collection here, Also the best.

Therefore, as soon as Zhao Li's people appeared in Qingyuan County, they were discovered by Tang San's people. During this period, Tang San's work was not in vain. Wu Fan supported him so much, whether it was asking for money or asking for help. Wu Fan didn't say a word about people. If he didn't do well again, he would lose Wu Fan's trust.

Zhao Li's people thought they were well hidden, but they didn't know that the entire Qingyuan County was under Tang San's surveillance. However, after Tang San discovered that those people's identities were suspicious, he did not catch them, but let them go. its leaving.

Catching a few minions has nothing to do with the overall situation, but if you can use these minions to lure bigger fish, then everything will be worth it.

After those few minions left Qingyuan County, Tang San's people followed them, and sure enough they saw them entering the mountain. However, in order to prevent being discovered, Tang San's people did not dare to follow too close, so, It was not possible to find the main force of the same Zhao Li through those people.

But even so, Tang San was not without gains. At least, he knew that Zhao Li was hiding in that area, and he also knew that Zhao Li really had ideas about Qingyuan County.

"Zhao Li's people sneaked into the city, most likely to inquire about information." Xu Dashan analyzed: "So, he is very likely to launch an attack on the county seat in the near future!"

"That's right." Peng Jun continued: "We all know that their food and grass will not allow them to stay in the wild for too long. Attacking the county is inevitable. Although we don't know the specific date of their attack, we can at least prepare in advance. Come, our chances of winning will be much better.”

"It just so happens that the surrounding rebels have almost been cleared. Now free up your hands to deal with Zhao Li!" Zhao Yuehao said.

Everyone's expressions were not much panic, but full of fighting spirit.

There are already many troops in Qingyuan County. In addition, after fighting with the rebels during this period, the strength of these troops has improved, and the overall combat effectiveness is not low. If they did not know that Zhao Li was coming to attack and were caught off guard, then The possibility of defeat is very high, but now that they know about this and can make arrangements in advance, they may not be afraid of Zhao Li.

However, Luo Heming shook his head and said, "I don't think it's appropriate to do this."

"Why?" Xu Dashan asked.

Ordinarily, they can just decide on military matters themselves. Although Luo Heming's position is not low, he is responsible for the governance of the city and the government affairs in the city. It has nothing to do with their military affairs. They do not need to listen to Luo Heming's opinions or opinions. Order.

But after all, Luo Heming was appointed by Wu Fan personally, and when they went to war, they also needed Luo Heming to provide food and grass support, so Gu Luo Heming's words could not be completely in vain.

"I don't know much about the war." Luo Heming said: "But according to what you just said, Zhao Li's forces don't have much food and grass, and they are still exhausted in other cities. Now they continue to have food and grass, and they continue to Victory will stabilize the morale of the army."

Xu Dashan and others nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly it."

"If this is the case, the generals are waiting in the city. If Zhao Li knows this situation, will he still come to attack?" Luo Heming asked.

"this......"

Xu Dashan and others were hesitant.

Logically speaking, Zhao Li and others did not have much retreat. Even if they found that the county was well-positioned, they could only choose to fight hard. Otherwise, they would collapse first and there would be no need for the army in the city to take action. After all, those rebels The reason why Jun followed Zhao Li was because he wanted to survive. If they found that following Zhao Li risked starvation, how could they follow Zhao Li wholeheartedly?

After all, they are a group of refugees! Not a regular army!

Therefore, Zhao Li must find food and a place to stay. In this case, it seems inevitable to attack Qingyuan County.

But when Zhao Li discovered that Wu Fan was strong, he decisively withdrew, which showed that he did not want to and did not dare to fight head-on.

Therefore, Xu Dashan and others are really not sure what Zhao Li will choose this time.

"If he doesn't attack the county town and has no food and grass supplies, he will collapse. Therefore, even if he finds that we are waiting for him, he will probably launch an attack." Zhao Yuehao said uncertainly.

"What if they get food and grass supplies from other places?" Luo Heming asked.

"Where? Where else can they get food and grass supplies?"

"Surrounding villages and towns!" Luo Heming said with a serious face: "When we repatriated the people who gathered around the county, you gave them a lot of food. The original intention was to allow them to persist until the next season's food matures, but now , may become the target of rebel plunder. After Zhao Li's people find that the county is well prepared, they are likely to change their direction and attack the surrounding villages and towns. The surrounding villages and towns do not have much defensive power. In this way, they will not only be able to obtain food and grass supplies , will also create a lot of gangsters. If they drive those refugees to the county seat, then the previous situation will happen again, and the pressure here will suddenly increase. "

Hearing Luo Heming's words, Xu Dashan and others were shocked, with cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads.

They had only considered the situation here in Qingyuan County before. That was because they were all stationed here, and it seemed that Zhao Li's target was also here.

But Luo Heming is different. He is the county magistrate of Qingyuan County. He has to manage not only a city, but also the villages and towns surrounding the city. When he considers the problem, he naturally has to take the surrounding villages and towns into consideration.
