The New Biography of Han Lingdi

Chapter 116 Ju Yang
The situation of the White Lotus Sect on the other side was not as optimistic as expected. Although they took advantage of Lian Po's withdrawal from less important cities and occupied many cities, all the wartime resources in the cities were destroyed by Lian Po. They were taken away under the order of Po, but they were not supplemented with food and weapons. Now they are essentially just a group of civilians.

They understand that as more and more cities are occupied, they will have to spend part of their troops to garrison the cities in various places to ensure that they will not be attacked by the people in the city and their retreat will be cut off.

But just like that, the number of their troops began to gradually spread out, and they did not form an absolute force advantage.Han Shantong understood why Lian Po would withdraw from the city. On the one hand, it was to gain some time, and on the other hand, it was also to consume their troops, so that their soldiers and horses were stationed in various places without forming a unified force.

"I think we should stop occupying the city directly like this, and should take the initiative to attack the Han army." Han Shantong said to Wang Lun.In fact, Han Shantong also had certain military qualities, and he also saw Lian Po's sinister intentions.

So he decided to take the initiative to attack the Han army to seize their superiority. Their biggest advantage now is that they have more soldiers and horses.Take advantage of the force to attack Lian Po's army.This is where they are most likely to succeed.

Because Wang Lun has read books with profound insights and is also clever, he has gradually become a military advisor of the White Lotus Sect.Relying on Han Shantong, as long as the Bailian Church encounters any problems, Han Shantong will directly discuss with Wang Lun, and after the two discuss the results, they will tell others to implement them.

"You mean to plan an attack to attack Lian Po's Han army." Wang Lun understood Han Shantong's meaning.Indeed, if things go on like this, their troops will become less and less, and maybe the court will not need to send troops to attack by then.Lian Po can eat these rebels by himself.

"But where are you going to attack? Now Lian Po's entire defense is very tight, where do you start?" Wang Lun asked another question.Now there are more than a dozen cities stationed by the Han army. Which one are they going to attack?

Because Lian Po also thought that the White Lotus Sect would probably attack them directly, he made a very tight defense and strictly prohibited fighting and must hold on to the city.Therefore, they must choose carefully, otherwise they will suffer great losses if they attack the city.

"Juyang." Han Shantong and the others said this place.The guard general of this place is called Wu Clan. He is the younger brother of a concubine who is favored by the current governor of Jiyang County. Because of his sister, she was directly assigned to the position of guard.

"Wu Clan, I know this guy. He is greedy for money and lustful. If you attack him, you may face much less pressure than other regular generals." Wang Min has always been in Yanzhou, so he is very concerned about all Local officials and generals are familiar with it.

The Wu family is simply a different kind of Yanzhou defender.Most of the Yanzhou guards have experienced some wars, made some contributions, and then were promoted. Even if they are children of aristocratic families, they must go through this process. Of course, he is not from the Wu clan.

The things that make him most happy are also the things that are most remembered.It was when I went to quell the bandits.He originally thought that if he had enough troops, the bandits could be put down.

At that time, he led 700 people to quell a bandit den with only more than 100 people.Unexpectedly, he was very scared when he saw the other party at first.

Looking at the vicious face of the bandit leader, who was tall and holding a heavy axe, he thought that the bandit leader had undue courage, so he was afraid.As a result, they were unwilling to fight. After seeing this situation, the bandits rushed straight up.

If a general didn't have the courage, the soldiers he led also began to worry. Just like this, his team of more than 700 people was suddenly rushed away by more than 100 people.

After rushing his troops away, he fled around, but one accidentally fell down, and the bandits tied him up and brought him back to the stronghold.

Will coddle a nest.This truth is not given for nothing. When he was brought back to the cottage, he was dragged back

After he was brought back to the cottage, he was so frightened that he even knelt on the ground to plead with the bandits because he peed his pants because of fear.Said that his sister was rich and could save him.

The bandit also knew that killing him was useless, so the bandit asked him to send a letter to his sister, asking his sister to send a ransom.Because there was only one male in their family, his elder sister was also reluctant to let this younger brother die like this.After receiving the letter, you can only save him.

In ancient times, the idea of ​​inheriting the family line was actually quite serious, even in the era when later generations were more enlightened. , this idea has not disappeared.In some remote places, this is also something that people must do, and it is the first priority in life.If there are no descendants, people will make irresponsible remarks.

At that time, his sister went to ask the sheriff of Jiyang County.The county guard loved this little concubine very much, so he agreed to her, so that she brought the Wu clan back.

But there is no airtight window in the world. This matter was spread, and gradually the Wu clan began to be laughed at. Later, with the full help of his sister, he took the position of guard.Of course, other people also looked down on him in their hearts, but they couldn't help that he had a good sister and a good brother-in-law.

This means that the bandits are getting bigger and bigger.Later, out of desperation, Lian Po was sent out to pacify these bandits.Although this matter has never been mentioned again, it has always been remembered in the hearts of others.

So Wang Lun also thought that it would be much better if he attacked Juyang City where the Wu Clan was located.This is when Lian Po also wanted to kick out the Wu clan when he first started.

But there is no way, because the face of the sheriff of Jiyang County still has to be given. After all, they also have part of the food and grass that needs to be provided by the counties. If Jiyang County does not provide food and grass, then they will face great passiveness.So in desperation, they could only keep the general of the Wu clan.

"Then we have decided to plan an attack on Juyang City." Han Shantong faced Wang Lun.Both of them also understood that Juyangcheng was the only defensive weakness in Lian Po's defense.If Juyang can be captured, Lian Po's defense will be broken.

"Okay, let's attack Juyang City." Wang Lun also supported this matter.They now need to use a relatively successful war victory to inspire people's hearts.
