Chapter 870 Shennong and Fuxi
Chapter 868: Shennong and Fuxi
That''s right, even if he has 70,000 defenders, Li Shimin only has greater confidence, rather than absolutely certainly defending Hulao Pass.
Defending the city is not just about the number of people. Even if there are many new forces in the city, only a part of them can be deployed. Once suppressed by the enemy''s offensive, before you can deploy all your troops, the city will be captured by the enemy.
Therefore, when defending the city, issues such as morale and military morale are also very important.
The current situation of the Kanto coalition army is now in full swing, and there is even a trend of becoming more and more vigorous. However, the Liang army is becoming increasingly sluggish in the continuous failures, and is becoming increasingly unconfident in the face of the coalition army.
The military''s self-confidence is achieved bit by bit by bit, and once it loses confidence, it will not be so easy to establish it again.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, why could the Qing army win every battle? Because they almost never lost in the battle between the Ming army and Europe, they established absolute confidence, that is, they despise their opponents in military affairs.
The Kanto Alliance is almost the same now. He despises his opponent in war but attaches importance to his opponent strategically. It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin is not absolutely sure, but he is also confident of reversing the sluggish form of the Liang army. Of course, the premise is that Qin Hao has to give him the opportunity to perform.
As soon as Li Shimin''s letter of help came, Yang Jian did not even hold a meeting this time, so he directly sent 30,000 troops to support him.
Yang Jian had made a big mistake before because of using the wrong person. If he missed the opportunity this time, it would be a crime. Besides, the Hulao Pass front touched the whole body, but there was no time for Yang Jian to hold a meeting and discuss it slowly.
There were originally 90,000 troops in Luoyang. Yang Guang ordered 10,000 to transfer, and Yang Jian sent 20,000 to Yique Pass. This time, he captured 30,000 troops at Hulao Pass, and the troops in Luoyang City were also reduced to 30,000.
Considering that Luoyang is a large rear and there is no coalition force that can threaten it, it is more than enough to guard Luoyang for 30,000 troops. If necessary, it can even draw 20,000 troops to support the front line.
The large-scale reduction in military strength in Luoyang has also caused the internal security level to drop sharply, and all kinds of ghosts and monsters emerge together at night.
Among these people are knights, flower-picking thieves, and children of hundreds of families. Of course, they are more secret spies under the command of major princes, which also adds some shade to the peaceful life of the people of Luoyang.
Hero Building is the largest restaurant in Luoyang and also the largest stronghold of Black Ice Platform in Luoyang. After years of operation, it has become the fastest place for information circulation. In order to obtain first-hand information, all forces will install spies here.
In the Hero Building, a Confucian scholar in white clothes said to the Confucian scholar in blue clothes on the side: "Brother Zhang, have you heard of it? Two barriers in the south have been broken. Now, as long as Yique and Hulao are broken, the Kanto Alliance will fight to Luoyang."
The Confucian scholar in green said indifferently: "Isn''t this good?"
The white-clothed Confucian scholar showed a surprised look and said wonderingly: "It''s going to fight again, is that okay?"
“So what?”
Qingyi showed disdainful eyes and said, "Brother Li, you don''t know yet? The reason why this battle against Dong broke out was that on the surface, Dong Zhuo''s actions led to the attack of the princes in the world, but in fact it was because Dong Zhuo coveted the new grains in the hands of Qin Hou.
After Qin Hou formed the Guandong coalition and became the leader, he took the initiative to distribute new seeds to all the princes. Now, except for Dong Zhuo''s power, most of the princes have obtained new grain seeds with higher yields.
I heard that the yield of this new seed is several times or dozens of times that of the original one. It can be fully promoted after a few years of cultivation. At that time, everyone will be able to eat enough and not have to go hungry. ”
"So that''s the case." The white-clad Confucian scholar showed a sudden look and then said in surprise: "If Qin Hou conquered Luoyang and even Chang''an, then the people of Sizhou could also plant new grains?"
"That''s for sure. Qin Hou is not that kind of stingy person. He is willing to share this kind of magical thing with the world. How could he miss our Sizhou alone?"
"That''s great. Now the good days for the people of Sizhou are coming. I hope Jianjun can attack Sili as soon as possible."
The white-clothed Confucian scholar said with a happy face, but this statement aroused the dissatisfaction of the golfer.
"Hmph, what do you scholars know? Qin Hao''s son was forced by the Prime Minister Dong to hand over the new grain, but Prime Minister Dong directly divided the land for the people of Guanxi. It is clear which one is higher or lower." The goat said angrily.
The Confucian scholar in blue showed disdain when he saw this. After glanced at the guards behind him, he raised his head and said with a superior look on his face: "The reckless man is a reckless man. He really thought that Dong Zhuo was dividing the land for the people, and he Dong Zhuo was just for his own ambition..."
Literature despises warriors vulgarity, and martial artists look down on literati''s weakness. When the two meet, they naturally start to quarrel.
But they all knew that the Hero Building was not a place to go wild, so they were all restrained and just stayed at the level of argument and did not fight.
On the second floor, a young man in brocade clothes listened to the arguments between the two parties below with expressionless face.
Gradually, the young man''s brows frowned because he analyzed many other things from the debate below.
There are debates like this everywhere in Luoyang. From the debate between Confucian scholars and rangers, it is obvious that for this battle against Dong, the aristocratic families and students in Kansai supported the Kanto Alliance, while the lower-level people supported Dong Zhuo, but were not hostile to the arrival of the Kanto Alliance.
The people of Sizhou thanked Dong Zhuo for sharing the land for them, and looked forward to Qin Hao''s arrival to bring them new grain seeds. This contradictory and complex emotion can be seen from the philosophies.
"A simple strategy of distributing food will disintegrate the people''s hearts that Dong Zhuo had finally gathered together. Qin Hao is such a powerful plan." Qing Young sighed.
At this time, a handsome young man walked slowly to his side and smiled faintly: "Brother Shennong, the reason why Qin Hao''s plan was so sharp is because he had invested a lot of money."
Seeing the two character girls following behind the visitor, they attracted the attention of countless people along the way, which made Shennong look at them more.
The girl in the purple skirt on the left, holding a guqin in her hand. Although the purple gauze covers her face, she cannot hide her stunning appearance.
The woman in red on the right, carrying an ancient sword, was graceful and charming in her eyes, which was full of charm.
"Brother Shennong, your high-yield grains that have not been cultivated by your farmer, but they were given so easily by Qin Hao to the major princes. Even you have to accept such a big deal, right?"
Shennong did not answer, but instead asked: "Brother Fuxi, your Yin-Yang family has always been low-key, why is it so high-profile this time?"
These two days are the busiest two days this month. Today, I will try to make up for the two missing updates.
