After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 798
People are strong, and of course they will join the team of winners.

"How does father want to fight?"

"I have participated in discussions with my staff and the generals. It's not that the southern rebels have never suffered a defeat, but they just ran into the water when they were at a disadvantage. The terrain is so complicated that it is very difficult to chase them down."

He Lingchuan concluded: "It is not difficult to defeat, but it is too difficult to eradicate."

For the rebels/thieves, Takigawa is simply a treasure trove of geomantic omen. More than 100 years ago, Yuheng City also faced this kind of difficulty.

"Right, that is it."

He Lingchuan leaned on his chin to study the sand table: "Have the southern rebels stayed in Takikawa and can't come out? If they are really that smart, it will be difficult."

"Yes, they are marching northward. They seem to want to go back to Hongqian's old road and go down to Woling Pass!" Woling Pass used to be an important military town, but it was finally defeated by Hong Qianqian's offensive. Down.Although Woling Pass was taken back by two generals Ke Jihai and Wu Di at the last moment, it was not carefully repaired afterwards.

He Lingchuan walked by in person and was very impressed.

Can there be another enemy trouble there?Anyway, he is not very optimistic.

If Woling Pass falls again, both Shihuan City and Yuan will be under great threat again.Whether I have such good luck this time is hard to say.

He Lingchuan shook his head: "This rebel army is not very smart, otherwise they should stick to Takigawa and use the word 'consumption'. The big kite can't stand the consumption now, the rebel army in the south and the big Sima in the northwest can keep it flowing Blood loss, procrastination has dragged it down. It is unwise to give up your greatest advantage and go north."

He Chunhua snorted: "If they didn't go north, how could they seduce so many followers?"

The rebels have to rely on selling their dreams to grow their team, which is really a joke in the world!

But if they have been huddled in Takigawa, where will the food and drink expenses come from for an army of tens of thousands of people?

This kind of rebel army mainly fights to support wars by fighting, and to support itself and grow its team by raiding territories and slaughtering rich people.

How many people join, just to have a full meal.If it dares to stand still, it will be caught in a dilemma.

He Lingchuan wondered, "Is there no food production in Takikawa now?"

In the Panlong era, Takigawa was a land of abundant water and soil, with dozens of villages and hundreds of stockades.Like the base camp of Qianjinzhai, it is the size of a small city.

Relying on Takigawa's own products, the water bandits come and go, they can't loot when they come out, and they can stay home when they retreat.

In the era of general poverty in the south of Xixiang, Takikawa seemed to be another world of its own system.

"Some, not many." He Chunhua has also studied the current situation of Takikawa, "A few years ago, Hong Xiangqian rebelled and took away too many young and old people from here. The rest are women, children, old and young. The grass in the fields is better than people. They are all high. Even if these rebels stay in Takigawa and the food is planted, they will not be able to harvest in half a year."

"And the rains and floods have been very punctual in the past ten years, and there have been heavy rains every year. The water level of Takigawa has risen, and the area of ​​​​the lake has expanded. I heard that there are several large lakes, and the water surface has expanded by two or three times. Therefore, there is not so much arable land."

He Lingchuan was envious of his real name.

If this was the situation Yuhengcheng faced with Takikawa back then, would it still be necessary to scratch his head for the sake of suppressing bandits?

"Who is the leader of this team?"

"It used to be the county magistrate of Yu County, who received the official salary of the royal court!" He Chunhua pressed his forehead, "This rebel is really thorough enough!"

The leader of the rebel army turned out to be an official?Quite ideal!He Lingchuan asked: "What about the cultivation of knowledge, how is Bihong moving forward?"

"How can it be compared?" He Chunhua sneered, "If he has Hong Xiangqian's level, Da Yuan will be in danger!"

Hong Xiangqian's uprising lasted for more than two years. At that time, Da Sima had not yet rebelled. Yuan Kingdom was panting against them, and had suffered many defeats.

If it weren't for the two years of war that dragged down the country's finances, how could Yuan Country be reduced to the situation it is today?
"If that's the case, they won't be my father's opponents after they leave Takigawa." He Lingchuan pointed to the west of Takikawa, "Luring them away from Takikawa, and then splitting up the troops to cut off the back, it's easy to handle? Father, you still have Another advantage."

"Oh?" He Chunhua liked the word "advantage" very much, "What is it?"

"Didn't the officers and soldiers suffer several defeats in a row before? The rebels have won consecutive battles, and they should be particularly arrogant now." This is how wars are fought. Those who lose are dejected, and those who win are triumphant. Li. Before they know that General Changning and Marquis Wuwei are personally leading the army south, if you hit them quickly, you may be able to destroy their main force."

He Chunhua nodded: "I think so too."

He Lingchuan smiled and said, "You've already figured it out, what else do you want me to say?"

He Chunhua looked at him with complicated eyes: "Chuan'er, what do you think of the current domestic situation?"

The topic suddenly changed, and He Lingchuan was taken aback: "Father, isn't your problem too big?"

"Not much." He Chunhua shook his head, "But it's imminent."

"I don't have any opinion." This time He Lingchuan told the truth.He didn't pay much attention to what Yuanguo would do in the future.He was originally a lonely ghost who replaced his original body, he was neither born nor raised here, so how could he have any real feelings for Yuan Country?With a loan of several million taels from Rongshan, he felt that he was doing his best, "I just hope that the war will end soon—well, anyone can do it."

He Chunhua's eyes narrowed slightly: "Anyone can come?"

He Lingchuan stretched his waist, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Of course. As long as the civil war can be ended, the civilians will suffer less. Whoever gives them a good life, they will naturally support him."

He knew exactly what Dad wanted to hear.

He Chunhua was silent for a while: "Your thinking is very dangerous."

"What does it matter?" He Lingchuan didn't care, "Anyway, I'm not the one who can end the civil strife and return Yuan Country to a peaceful world."

He Chunhua smiled, pointed at the sand table and said, "Come on, let's talk about how to play."

"What else is there to say?" He Lingchuan said without hesitation, "Father wants a quick victory, so he must lure the main force of the rebels out of their lair and finish the battle; There is no such thing as a slow-moving tactic that cannot be suppressed in a year or a half."

"Yuan Country looks weak, but in fact, it should be fine for another year or so." After all, hasn't it survived like this in the past few years? "It's just that you are too passive, Dad."

Everyone in the royal court of Yuan has high hopes for He Chunhua.If he also fought a long tug-of-war with the southern rebels, his ability would be questioned and his prestige would be hit.

He Chunhua has ambitions and plans for the future, so he cannot accept this situation.
