Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 704
It is human nature to be lucky, and there is nothing to say about this.

Although the slaves and thieves were powerful before, the psychological pressure brought to the Huainan people was not as great as imagined.On the one hand, they are used to frequent war intrusions, and on the other hand, they don't think that Shouchun will become the main direction of the slave thief's main attack.

Even if you don't know the overall situation in the north and the south, you can always see things close to the countryside.Even if Jienu had already occupied Shouchun before, they did not regard it as a must-defend place to guard and focus on operations, but only a partial division here, maintaining a superficial occupation.

The attitude can be said to be quite obvious, just treating Shouchun as a tasteless place.Therefore, most of the villagers felt that it is very unlikely that Jienu's soldiers will attack Shouchun this time, and the main force will besiege Shouchun.If Shouchun was an important place for them to lose, they would not have lost it so easily.

Since Shen Zhezi entered the town, although there were many villagers who complained about the use of methods, a new order was established in Shouchun because of this, and there was enough room for the villagers to compromise.Therefore, the vast majority of villagers are quite satisfied with the current situation of Shouchun, and at the same time they are very confident that they can defend against the attack of Jienu's partial division.

But now, Shen Zhezi's words have broken the luck of the villagers.

What is the specific situation inside Jienu, the villagers have no way of knowing.But if it is true, as the son-in-law said, Jienu's attack this time is mainly to establish prestige, and the second is to attack the city and loot the land, then Shouchun is really in danger!

This is a very simple multiple-choice question. If you want to stand up, the more brilliant the result, the better the natural effect.And if you want a hearty victory, you have to pick soft persimmons to pinch.

As for other aspects of the confrontation between the North and the South, Jingzhou is needless to say, it is an important town in Shaanxi where the Jiangdong Jiabing is the most prosperous.As for Xuzhou, there are also many military leaders, and Jienu and Jienu attacked each other around several important towns in Huaisi, winning and losing each other.

As for Shouchun, it was breached earlier, and it has only been recovered for a few months.There is no doubt that choosing the main attack here is the easiest way to break through.And once Shouchun is breached, you can continue to sweep south. Hundreds of thousands of troops will gather in Jiangbei, facing Jiangdong Jiankang across the water.

Thinking that Shouchun will face the encirclement and attack of hundreds of thousands of slave soldiers in the future, many people present have cold sweat on their foreheads, and some people can't help but ask Shen Zhezi whether the source of the news is credible.

If Shen Zhezi had any news channels, he would naturally not spread it around. In fact, although Qian Feng and others have been going north for nearly a year, they have not yet reported any news.

What he said is only speculation based on the historical context known to later generations, but this does not mean that he is scaremongering.

Jie Nu sent Shi Hu to lead the army to the south. Shen Zhezi didn't know what kind of balance was behind it. Leading troops to fight in the south.

Then this can be said to be a huge variable. Even Shen Zhezi can hardly predict where history will go in the future, but this does not prevent him from using this variable to strive for the best result he wants.Of course, no matter where the variables will lead the war, if you want to make progress, you must base yourself on being able to successfully defend Shouchun and resist the impact of the new elites of the Jienu army.

At this time, Jie Nu is extorting violently in the north and tyrannizing the countryside. This is good news for Huainan, at least it has an advantage in the hearts of the people.The brutality of the slaves and thieves is fully exposed, which will make many Jin people in the north cut off their desire to live, and also dispel the subconscious thinking of the people in Huainan to look at both the north and the south, which is conducive to the consolidation of the Huainan front.

But right now, we are only discussing the issue of taking over refugees from Huaibei, and many villagers have exposed their fluke mentality, because they are worried about provoking Jie slaves to attack Shouchun, and they often think of throwing a mouse.This also exposed Shouchun's current problems. After all, he has not been cured for a long time, and he is somewhat suspected of being a fake.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Shen Zhezi doesn't intend to force anything to stabilize people's hearts, just want to think the worst, and stop these people's fluke mentality.Otherwise, if Shi Hu really led all his troops to the Huai River, people's hearts would be in turmoil, and there would be chaos before the battle, which would be enough for Shen Zhezi to drink a pot.

"Shi Jilong intends to intimidate, and his ambition is to win the heir. There is no doubt about it. As for whether he will attack Shouchun, I advise you not to be optimistic. Focusing on the priority of the slaves in offense and defense, it is really timid before a battle, which is not conducive to war."

Hearing what Shen Zhezi said so directly, all the generals in Huainan were embarrassed, and the military leader Han Cheng couldn't help arguing a few words: "The tyranny of the slaves is utterly tragic. Since we are serving in the Marquis of Shen, we will commit suicide The enemy is his own responsibility, but thinking that the hunger and thirst of the villagers will be relieved, and they will be persecuted by the soldiers again, I really can't feel at ease."

"There will be fierce battles in the town in the future. It's not that I don't feel sorry for the villagers, but the slaves rebelled against the destiny. It's not selfish. So recently, the town has also been thinking about moving some of the villagers to the south for a while. It's just that the nostalgia is hard to break, and we are still planning for the time being."

Shen Zhezi also took the opportunity to reveal this relocation plan to everyone. In fact, what he most hopes to relocate is not the scattered households that have been registered in the naturalization, but the sheltered population that each family still controls.Through this migration process, their internal organization can be further disintegrated and collapsed, and at the same time, Liang County and other places can be enriched.

But if this suggestion is brought up in a normal way, it will inevitably make the generals feel conflicted, and suspect that he is taking the opportunity to snatch the population.Therefore, it is only a part of the people who are planning to migrate at the moment.

When everyone heard Shen Zhezi showing his tone, their moods were also mixed, and they were all different.Not giving up on the basic family business at present, but also worried that if Jienu really takes over this situation, the prospect of Shouchun will be worrying again.

Regarding this topic, Shen Zhezi stopped short, and the focus was still on appeasing the Huaibei refugees.In fact, at this point in the story, it is actually very clear what to do, since Jie Nu is very likely to attack Shouchun no matter what.So instead of shrinking and defending, it is better to gather support.

If the refugees in Huaibei can really gather some of them, even if their combat power is worryingly insufficient, they can still divide Jie Nu's energy.At the very least, it can prevent these people from being used as slaves and enlisted as hard labor to attack Shouchun.

After brainstorming, Shen Zhezi directly made a decision and began to deploy this action.

First of all, to sweep the territory of Runan, Shen Zhezi arranged for Li Cang's troops who had the advantage of geographical advantage. In addition to the original food aid, he also provided Li Cang with the food and grass needed for the two thousand troops, and delivered them in Rukou. In other words, it gave Li Cang a wartime power to take the opportunity to expand his troops.

The battle is imminent, and time is everything. If troops are transferred from other places, it will not be completed within ten days.The straight-line distance between Li Cang's headquarters and Runan is only a few tens of miles, and they can go straight to the territory after crossing a few mountains.

As for whether Li Cang is credible, this is also a question that does not need to be considered at the moment.The tyranny of the slave soldiers in Huaibei is obvious to all. As long as they are not cheap bones, they will not think twice.What's more, hundreds of thousands of slave soldiers are about to come to the south, and there are only a few thousand militiamen, even Beitou will not have any good results.

If this battle is won, Shen Zhezi will be surrounded by the generals. Even if Li Cang's crowd is doubled, if they are not inferior, they will be wiped out.

As for the task of presiding over this military campaign and going north to appease the refugees, Shen Zhezi handed it over to Mao Bao.Mao Bao is currently cruising between Ru and Ying, this time he can just enter the town and take over the military and civilian defense, if the battle goes wrong in the future, he can also return in batches.

At the same time, they selected some village commanders who were familiar with the surrounding situation in the town, added troops to Maobao, and went deep into the northern border to promote momentum.

Moreover, Shen Zhezi sent envoys to go south to Hefei quickly to inform Yu Yi of the town's decision, hoping that Yu Yi would notify Sima Wuji, King Qiao of Jiangxia as soon as possible, so that King Qiao would be ready to take care of the refugees going south.If there is any inconvenience to King Qiao, he will try his best to cooperate.

Although Shouchun is a new start-up town, it is still immature, but it also has one advantage, that is, there are not too many personnel disputes, and the execution is extremely strong.

Less than a few days after the town's military order was issued, Li Cang, who was guarding the countryside outside, responded immediately, saying that he would obey the town's dispatch, and when he sent the letter, he had already led his troops to Runan.

And Du He, Ji You and others also tried their best to raise a batch of funds to support this strategic plan.There is no major event in the town right now, so Shen Zhezi personally escorted this batch of funds to the north along the Huai River, and at the same time inspected the border defense.In the real war, although he doesn't need to go to the front line to fight, but he also needs to be clear about the defense everywhere.

Moreover, Shen Zhezi still has something in his heart. It is an indisputable fact that Shouchun is strong on the outside and on the inside in terms of people's hearts.The current small fights are not enough to bring full excitement to the hearts of the people. Once the strong slaves are overwhelmed, there is still a fear of cowardice and retreat.

Therefore, Shen Zhezi also hoped that he could take advantage of this matter of recruiting refugees to make a time difference to see if he could lure Shi Cong down, gather the current Huaibei army, and give this slave a ruthless future.With a commendable victory, the people in the town will be more stable.

Of course, Shen Zhezi also understood that his idea was a little aggressive and unrealistic.After all, the Jienu army is coming south soon. For Shi Cong, there is really no need to fight for a moment. Facing the obvious provocation trap of the Huainan army, it is very likely that he will still take a defensive position and focus on defense.

But there is no harm in giving it a try. At present, most of the slave troops in Huaibei have shrunk and waited for the army to come south, so the reaction will inevitably be delayed.As long as the Huainan army does not stray too far from the waterway and maintains sufficient mobility, it is possible to maintain a rampant posture in the short term.

Even if Shi Cong didn't come, building momentum in Huaibei would not only boost morale, but also help in appeasing the people in Huaibei.
