Chapter 598 What Is the Chance of Winning Jinyang? Li Jing: 98%! [Seeking Monthly Votes]
Back at the B&B, Li Yu asked Dao Ge to call Li Shimin over:
"As long as you can take Jinyang, I will give you some tap water equipment. According to the scale, you should be able to lay tap water pipes throughout Jinyang."
Although it is only a part of the inventory, Jinyang during the Sui Dynasty was not large, and it should be no problem to lay tap water pipes throughout the city.
And with the industrial Cthulhu properties of the real world, even if the number of pipes is not enough, you can quickly find a manufacturer to buy another batch.
Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this:
"If running water is provided to the people in the city, the people in the city will become the most loyal and core force of the entire Tang Dynasty, but... do we have the conditions to install running water?"
Li Yu nodded:
"Yes, we will make a plan for the whole city first, then use an excavator to dig up the roads, lay pipes, make branch gates on each street, install water pumps, and determine the water source. The rest will be easy."
There is a river flowing out of the mountains next to Jinyang. As long as it is intercepted, a small hydropower station can be built, which is more than enough to supply running water.
After installing wind turbines and photovoltaic panels, Jinyang can try to take the road of industrialization. At that time, all the weapons and armor will be upgraded, all equipped with steel weapons, and then we will focus on training and accumulate strength. Then, we will use Taiyuan as the foundation and start to erode the surrounding prefectures and counties.
Li Shimin came here and originally planned to go to the restaurant to get a bottle of drink to satisfy his craving, but now he couldn't take care of that and hurried back to the world in the book to inform Li Jing and the others.
Letting the people use tap water is a major event that can improve people's livelihood. It is necessary to warm up in advance to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people.
Of course, the most important thing is to quickly capture Jinyang. If the city fails, tap water will naturally not be installed.
However, with the current configuration of Fengmingzhai, if it really fails, everyone should not fight for the world, just kill themselves collectively.
The future military god of the Tang Dynasty is in person, and there are also famous generals such as Wu Tianxi and Wu Yunzhao to assist. Let alone Jinyang, even Chang'an City, everyone has the confidence to fight.
In Fengming Village, when Li Jing heard that the real world would subsidize the tap water facilities for the whole city, he immediately made a decision:
"Take Jinyang within ten days, and don't delay the construction of tap water."
As a military god, he knew too well the combat power bonus brought by the support of the people. Once the tap water was properly installed, the people of Jinyang would regard Fengming Village as a god, which would be of great help to future wars.
Wu Tianxi asked:
"Ten days is too long, right? Does it take that long?"
When he heard that there was tap water, this guy wanted to gather his troops and kill Jinyang right now.
Li Jing smiled and said:
"It's natural to take it now if we start a war, but the success rate is slightly lower. His Highness Shimin's family has just left. If there is a war in Jinyang now, they may turn back. It's better to wait a little longer and don't be impatient."
In addition to Li Yuan's family who just left, part of the garrison in Jinyang was also transferred away. They just went out of the city to the east, intending to recapture Shangai County and Weize Pass.
If we act too early, these people will come back to help. It is better to wait.
Wu Yunzhao bowed and asked:
"Brother Yao, if we follow your plan, what is the probability of taking Jinyang?"
Li Jing stroked his beard and smiled, turned his head and looked at the newly drawn Jinyang City plan on the wall, and said a number very confidently:
"Ninety-eight percent!"
Unless there is a natural disaster such as the collapse of the sky and the collapse of the earth, otherwise Jinyang City, I, Li Jing, will definitely take it!
If others said this, everyone would just think it was bragging, but when Comrade Junshen spoke, no one refuted it, but began to formulate a policy to comfort the people after taking Jinyang.
Li Shimin came to the real world and conveyed Li Jing's words to Li Yu who was preparing lunch in the kitchen. By the way, he took out a bottle of sea buckthorn juice from the refrigerator, opened the bottle cap, and took a sip.
It was sour, sweet, icy and cool, it was really a unique delicacy!
When the gold robbed from Shouyang County is transported to the mountain village, it will be brought to the real world. Please buy a truck of sea buckthorn juice and transport it back.
It's so delicious, I have to share it with the people in the village!
The little guy was drinking, and when he saw Xuanzang coming in, he quickly took out another bottle from the refrigerator, opened it and handed it over:
"Try it, you haven't tasted it before."
Xuanzang didn't take it:
"I prefer to drink boiled water, please..."
"My brother's words don't work, right? Take it, if the Buddha has any objections, I will write an imperial decree to pardon you."
Xuanzang: "..."
It's not good for you to use your power to pressure others, right?
However, despite his complaints, he still took a sip from it, nodded and said:
"This thing is really delicious, no wonder brother loves it so much."
"Well, I just saw too much suffering in the world, and I want to use this thing to balance my heart... Where are you guys, brother? How far is it from Huangfengling?"
Xuan Zang put down the drink bottle and clasped his hands together:
"Reporting to brother, there is still a long way to go. Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun just invited Wukong to go to the southwest border of the Tang Dynasty to destroy an evil god. I have nothing to do, so I came to see the small temple in the scenic area."
In the kitchen, Li Yu heard the conversation between the two, wiped his hands and walked out:
"What evil god?"
"The evil gods worshipped by the people in the Nanzhao area are not very good, but they have many ways to save their lives. Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun failed to capture them several times, so he simply called Wukong over. The two of them joined forces, and there shouldn't be any big problems."
Both Erlangshen and Wukong have a lot of magical powers, such as kaleidoscopic transformations, external incarnations, etc., which can fight evil gods.
Li Shimin took a sip of sea buckthorn juice and asked:
“Isn’t this the black bear spirit left to look after the luggage?”
"Wu Ming was building a bridge and paving roads in a nearby village. He took the opportunity to earn merit and was not idle."
It is very simple for Black Bear to repair the bridge. Go to the mountains and cut down a few big trees to make a bridge, and then use the petrification technique. The original wooden bridge will become a stone bridge, which will never collapse within hundreds of years.
Li Yu didn't expect Black Bear Spirit to be so pragmatic and said with a smile:
"Every time he does something good from now on, Xuanzang, you can have someone erect a monument to commemorate it, so that Xiong Wuming can have more merit."
"Young monk, remember this."
Xuanzang briefly talked about what he had seen on his journey to the west, then left the B&B and headed for the scenic spot, intending to see the small temple that had been built and painted it before it could be opened to the public.
At noon, Li Yu made two large pots of spicy hot pot, which made Diao Chan's eyes shine with greed:
"Wow, this is so rich, thank you husband."
In addition to shrimp and fried sweet potato fries, there are also more than 20 kinds of ingredients such as chicken wings, pig's trotters, sausages, tripe, hand-made fish balls, lamb chops, sausages, bacon, tender corn, etc., all cooked in a dry pot. Then use dried chili to cook, mix these ingredients together, top with red oil sesame and chopped peanuts, spicy and delicious.
Li Yu put on disposable gloves, peeled some shrimps for Diao Chan, then filled a bowl of rice and started eating with everyone.
While eating, Lu Bu and Liu Xie came together.
When Li Shimin saw Liu Xie, he quickly said hello:
"Brother Xie, come and try it quickly. The spicy hotpot made by Mr. is great for rice."
When Lu Bu saw it, he immediately went to the kitchen to fill a bowl of rice and prepared to have a big meal.
Li Yu asked:
"Why do you feel that you have become depressed this time you came here?"
Lu Bu yawned:
"Forget it, a few ladies thought that because of my high rank and official position, I would be laughed at if I didn't give birth to a boy, so they actually used wheel fighting to deal with me..."
Good guy, are you being drained?
When the four heroes fought against Lu Bu, they could not do anything to the Bingzhou flying general. Unexpectedly, he was defeated at the hands of his wife and concubines.
Lu Bu picked up a prawn covered in red oil, without peeling it, and put it directly into his mouth and chewed the shell together:
"The matter in Chang'an has been almost settled. I am going to lead the army to Hanzhong and start attacking Yizhou after my brothers and sisters complete their inspection of the Three Kingdoms World."
Li Yu asked:
"Where is Yuwen Chengdu?"
"Recently, I have been attending various gatherings with Lu Zhi, and I have also competed with Lao Dian and the others several times. He has completely won the reputation of hundreds of officials. He will also wait for his younger siblings to complete their tour of the Three Kingdoms World, and then set off to Hanoi to launch the Battle of Jizhou."
Spring is about to begin, and it’s time for the soldiers who had rested all winter to pick up their weapons again, put on their armor, and go into battle to kill the enemy and earn military merit.
Liu Xie picked up a piece of chicken wings and said while eating:
"Zhou Gongjin and Gao Shun have been busy at Jingxing Pass. They attracted tens of thousands of people from Changshan and settled them all in Taiyuan County. Within a hundred miles of Jingxing Pass, the population has become sparse, and the two actually started a military camp. idea."
Military garrison is the use of soldiers to farm, which can accumulate a large amount of grain within a few years. In the original book, the reason why Cao Cao became stronger and stronger in the later period was because he kept farming and relied on this method to accumulate enough grain.
But now, the focus is still on grabbing land, and there is no rush to farm or anything like that.
It would not be too late to open up wasteland for farming after taking over the whole territory of Jizhou. Anyway, after the forward army passes, the follow-up troops will appease the refugees, hold a grievance meeting, and replace the local county magistrate.
Li Shimin said:
"The main force is overqualified for logistics and public security. There is no need for farming. First capture Yuan Shao, then pacify Liu Yu, and then see whether Gongsun Zan will fight or surrender. If he fights, kill him. If he surrenders, let him go north. Attack foreigners... don't let him attack Youzhou. Gongsun Zan is an old homebody. Looking at the terrain of Youzhou, he might have the idea of occupying a place and staying at home. "
Liu Xie put down his chopsticks and quickly wrote down these words on a note on his mobile phone. The opinions given by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty should naturally be taken seriously. After all, Erfeng was also a famous military strategist in history. In addition, he was now assisted by the military god Li Jing. After analysis, The situation in the Three Kingdoms is in order.
Diao Chan, who had been silent for the whole time, asked:
"Is Gongsun Zan an otaku?"
Liu Xie nodded:
"It's true. In the original book, he executed Liu Yu and took over Youzhou. He neither continued to expand nor govern Youzhou. Instead, he built a high-rise building at home and stocked up on a lot of food. He stayed there for two years. Later, Yuan Shao attacked. He set fire to the whole building and committed suicide with his whole family.”
If it weren't for the different times, what's the difference between Gongsun Zan's style and the dead house in the real world?
Lu Bu said:
"Ah Man's ambition is to be a general who conquers the west. Then he will give Gongsun Zan the title of general who controls the north, and let him fight against the foreign tribes, including Wuhuan, Xianbei, Goguryeo and so on."
Gongsun Zan was relatively ruthless towards foreigners. When Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju were in rebellion, Gongsun Zan first defeated Zhang Ju and was then besieged by Qiu Liju. The army was so hungry that they ate all their mounts, and then began to eat saddles and other leather items, and later even Even though they relied on boiling large shields to satisfy their hunger, they refused to surrender. On the contrary, Qiu Liju's people could not hold on and retreated first.
Such a person who would rather die than bow to a foreign race is suitable for handling ethnic conflicts.
I believe that the foreign races that occupy the Northeast and the grasslands are very welcome.
While they were eating and chatting here, Jia Xu of the Three Kingdoms world was also making strategic arrangements with Guo Jia and Xun Yu.
"It's a loss for Gongjin to stay in Hebei as a counselor. After taking Changshan County, let him go to Jiangxia and start to build the Han navy. Relying on the geographical changes in Jiangxia, he can attack Jingxiang and Jiangling, and he can march to Jiangdong and show some color to the princes of Jiangdong... It's more appropriate for amphibious combat talents to go to the south."
Guo Jia wrote it down in the notebook and asked about warships:
"Do you need to make a sailboat? Accumulate some experience?"
Jia Xu shook his head:
"Not for the time being, it's not too late to build a sailboat when we get to the seaside. Anyway, we have detailed drawings, as long as we find the right wood, it's not urgent."
Large sailboats are generally sea ships, and river ships are prone to capsizing.
Xun Yu asked about the situation in Jingzhou:
"Should we let Xu Gongming move forward?"
Jia Xu stared at the map for a long time and did not agree to this proposal. Instead, he pointed to the Shangyong area and said:
"Let Xu Huang send a group of troops westward to attack all the counties west of Wancheng. It would be best to open up the road to Hanzhong, take Xicheng, and occupy the upper reaches of the Han River."
After getting the upper reaches of the Han River, there are many things that can be done. For example, the Han River can be blocked before the flood season comes, and the floodgates can be opened to release water when the flood season comes. The whole Xiangyang will be washed away.
When Guan Yu flooded the seven armies, he took advantage of the sudden rise in the water level of the Han River to give Cao Wei's army a blow.
Xun Yu said:
"Once the upper reaches of the Han River are taken, Liu Biao will either go out of the city to fight or move the government to Yicheng... But he was raised by the nobles of Xiangyang, and it is not easy to move. It seems that there will be a battle."
Guo Jia took out a cigarette and put it under his nose to smell it, and then put it back into the cigarette box:
"Even if Liu Biao wants to surrender, the Jingxiang family will force him to fight. When the time comes, remember to let Gongming test the attitude of the Cai family. If it is worth winning over, give it a chance, otherwise forget it."
Huang Chengyan had previously helped the Cai family to intercede, and also said that he would write a letter to let the Cai family surrender to the court.
If the Cai family is sensible, they can naturally give them a chance, but if they are not, then they will handle the matter impartially and explain it to Huang Chengyan afterwards.
After discussing the situation in Jingzhou, Xun Yu took out another briefing:
"General Huangfu wrote to the court, hoping that the court would send another 10,000 steel knives and request to continue to attack westward."
Jia Xu refused as soon as he heard it:
"Tell him not to attack for the time being, and first eliminate the foreign races in Liangzhou. The foreign races under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou should either swear to serve the Han Dynasty or join the road construction army to help the Han Dynasty build infrastructure. There is no other choice."
The foreign races in Liangzhou have been rioting since the end of the Han Dynasty until the establishment of the Sui Dynasty.
Now we must stabilize the local miscellaneous Hu and foreign races. Only in this way can we feel at ease in the future westward expedition.
Xun Yu wrote it down and prepared to pass it to the direction of Liangzhou through the intercom later.
In the posthouse, Ma Chao and other young generals were having a meal.
Zhang Xiu said:
"I will go with Marquis Wen when he goes to Sichuan this time. What are your plans?"
Ma Chao threw a fish skin peanut high up, caught it with his mouth, and chewed it:
"I want to go to Jingzhou, but Mr. Wenhe seems not to let me go there... I swore not to mess around, but he is still worried."
Hao Zhao asked:
"Why doesn't Brother Mengqi go to Jizhou?"
"General Yuwen and General Huang are so strong that I can't beat them. But if they don't let me go to Jingzhou, it's not bad to go to Jizhou. If I can kill Yan Liang or Wen Chou, I will be famous... By the way, Bo Zhao, General Yuwen comes to your house every few days. Isn't it... Want to take you as a disciple, right? "
Hao Zhao laughed dryly:
"He went to see my sister. Yesterday, my sister heard that he was about to go to war, so she embroidered a purse overnight...Mr. Shuijing and others rushed to be matchmakers, and even Master Cui trembled and said that he was best at matchmaking in his life. It felt like General Yuwen became a hot commodity overnight. "
Wei Yan stuffed a piece of peanut crisp into his mouth and said
"There is no way, he came from the real world and studied with His Royal Highness the Son of God for nearly half a year. Before he came, His Royal Highness the Son of God confirmed his position as a cavalry captain."
It is rare in the Han Dynasty to be a high-ranking official with a rank of two thousand stones, but Wei Yan and Ma Chao and others who knew Yuwen Chengdu's identity felt that it was worth the money.
Especially Ma Chao, who planned to perform better in the next two years. When Yuwen Chengdu was promoted, maybe he could also get the position of a cavalry captain.
The cavalry captains of the Han Dynasty, starting from Lu Bu, were all good in terms of military strength.
General Fengxian, General Wenyuan, General Zilong, and General Yuwen are all masters. If the successor is not a well-known figure, it will be a disgrace to the position of Cavalry Commander.
Hande, who had been eating peanuts, asked:
"Who is General Zilong? Why are you all discussing him, but I have no impression of him?"
Ma Chao laughed:
"Among us, you should remember him..."
After laughing, everyone continued to choose the direction of struggle. Now there are multiple lines of battle, and the direction chosen directly affects the military exploits and the number of heads, so be cautious.
While this side is gearing up, Fengmingzhai in the Sui and Tang world is also sharpening its knives. The intelligence from Jinyang City is continuously transmitted and finally summarized to Li Jing.
It is definitely not possible to capture a strong city within ten days with a frontal attack. Fortunately, everything is normal in the city now, and the troops of the mountain stronghold can infiltrate the city little by little.
As long as there are enough people hiding, and the villagers who are willing to contribute to the village cooperate and help the cavalry of Fengming Village rush into the city, the war will basically be settled.
When Li Jing was thinking about this, the voice of the scout at the foot of the mountain came from the intercom on the table:
"Report to Mr. Pharmacist, a Taoist priest came to visit and hopes to meet you and His Highness Shimin."
Li Jing was a little confused and picked up the intercom and asked:
"What does he do?"
"He claims to be a wandering Taoist priest. His surname is Xie and his name is Xie Hong. He calculated that there will be a big battle in Fengming Village, so he came to recommend his apprentice to assist His Highness Shimin."
Xie Hong?
Li Jing took out the small notebook in his arms, found Xie Yingdeng's name, and saw the note behind it:
"Xie Hong is Xie Yingdeng's uncle. He lives in Sanqing Temple on Huanghua Mountain west of Luoyang City. He is both civil and military. He once accepted the blacksmith Yuchi Gong as his apprentice in Shuozhou and taught him the double whip skills..."
Wow, this is a great talent.
Li Jing immediately picked up the intercom and said:
"Have a good hospitality, I will go down the mountain to welcome Taoist Xie in person!"
