Chapter 754 Battle of Nanhu County

Few people care about a defeated general, and the same goes for Zhao Long.

He had no time to pay attention to a little general who was defeated by his scout battalion.

From this we can see how much Liu Jiwu trusts Xu Fan. No wonder Xu Fan, who was almost decadent at first, regained his fighting spirit.

A scholar will die for his confidant!

Xu Fan first found a hidden puddle to build a water fort. The original water fort could not stay there anymore, so he found a makeshift one first.

You have to have a place to sleep at night.

Leaving three thousand soldiers to build a water stronghold, he took two thousand soldiers and the twenty most powerful warships to look for fighters on Dongting Lake.

After wandering around for a long time, Xu Fan only spotted Ganjun's reconnaissance ship more than a dozen times. Because Ganjun was in the light and they were in the dark, the Qianjun reconnaissance ship did not find them.

Xu Fan felt regretful, "It seems that the army is not short of food and grass today, let's continue tomorrow!"

Xu Fan led the navy to waste a day on Dongting Lake, but the Shun army in Nanhu County was under tremendous pressure.

Especially small military forts and remote military forts. Of course, most of the remote military forts are small military forts.

Liu Jiwu's order was quite timely. He sent people to notify various military camps last night.

It's just that Dongting Lake is too big and the lake shore is too long. The Shun army's messengers have already been on their way at full speed, but there are still some soldiers who have not been notified.

Some military commanders in the military camp did not even know that Qian's army had invaded Nanhu County.

When Qian Jun appeared in front of the military camp, they lit the beacon fire in shock.

It's just that they don't know that the soldiers' stronghold in the distance has long been deserted, and their lit beacon smoke can only float lonely in the air.

"Hurry up and block the gate of the village with stones, and let the scouts go out in a hanging basket from the back village. We must send the information about the landing of the Qian army to the commander-in-chief."

They thought they were the first to discover Ganjun.

In one day, more than a dozen small military forts were breached by Gan's army, as well as several medium-sized forts.

When Zhao Long saw the battle report in the evening, there was no joy on his face.

"I only killed more than a thousand obedient soldiers, so it's useless!"

Zhao Long threw the battle report on the table. In fact, according to this result, the Shun army would not be able to hold on for ten days and a half.

But Zhao Long doesn't have that much time.

If his navy could treat Dongting Lake as its own pond, he could fight it for three months, not to mention ten days and a half, but one month or three months.

"Food!"

Because he wanted to attack Shunjun's large military stronghold, Zhao Long asked the navy to give priority to transporting all siege equipment to Nanhu County.

But this way his food and grass will not be sufficient.

In two days, two days at most, his Shenwu Guards would be out of food.

This was despite the fact that he had recruited many fishermen to help him provide fish and shrimps.

"The food and grass must be transported here tomorrow."

In fact, Zhao Long wanted to collect grain on the spot in Nanhu County. Nanhu County was the land of plenty in Shun State, and there must be sufficient grain reserves here.

It's a pity that Zhao Long's prediction was wrong. It's true that Nanhu County is a land of plenty, but there really isn't much food reserves left.

The reason is also related to the Qian Kingdom. First, before the Qian Kingdom was established, the Shun Kingdom transferred a lot of food from Nanhu County when they fought against the Divine Guards.

Nanhu County and Dongting County are not far from the battlefield and are the main areas for food adjustment.

Gu Oh\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;Secondly, after the establishment of Qianguo, Shunguo understood that reforms must be carried out, even at a slower pace. Qianguo was like a raging fire, burning its chest even if it didn't burn its eyebrows.

If it wants to carry out reforms, the imperial court must have enough troops and food and grass, so as to ensure its control over the local area. Allocating local food and grass can not only enhance the strength of the court, but also prevent the situation of being unable to lose its tail.

At this time, if there is food, there will be soldiers. King Shun plans to take over the power of local counties and counties, so he must prevent them from quietly growing bigger.

There are the fewest aristocratic families in Shun Kingdom, but it does not mean that these aristocratic families are weak. The weak aristocratic families have been wiped out by Shun Kingdom.

The aristocratic families of Shun Kingdom were hidden deeper than the aristocratic families of other countries, and their entanglements with the government were also deeper.

Some members of the aristocratic family even changed their names and became officials of Shun State. No one knew their true identities except themselves and several or even an elderly person in their family.

King Shun's order was very firm, which was to divert most of the food and grass from local counties before the aristocratic family could react.

At that time, even if someone wants to resist, they can't use the power of a family to cause too much chaos.

Nanhu County was originally the focus of food transfer, but Liu Jiwu's arrival later saved Nanhu County's half life.

Some of the grain does not need to be transported out of Nanhu County, but it must be supplied to the consumption of 100,000 Shun troops.

As long as it is not shipped out of Nanhu County, the Nanhu County officials, aristocratic families and landlords will be satisfied.

Therefore, Liu Jiwu basically never worried about food and grass since arriving in Nanhu County.

But Zhao Long became a little worried after he arrived.

Liu Jiwu must have been closely following the mobilization of grain and grass along the Dongting Lake. One was nearby for convenience, and the other was to prevent the dry troops from quietly landing on Dongting Lake and destroying the grain and grass.

The harvest season was coming soon, so it was not unusual for each other to send small groups of troops to destroy grain fields on each other's territory.

Unexpectedly, the method originally used to prevent the army from destroying food and grass now had the effect of strengthening the wall and clearing the field.

Zhao Long has only two ways to obtain enough food. One is to transfer food from Dongting County. Yang Yuan has left a large amount of food in Dongting County, enough for the Shenwu Guards.

The other is to penetrate into the hinterland of Nanhu County within two days. Nanhu County still has no shortage of food, but it is not yet a cadre of troops.

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't belong to us, it's ours if you snatch it away."

Zhao Long thought that he had to walk on two legs. The food from Dongting Lake had to be transported here, and the food from Nanhu County also had to be moved here.

If you don't snatch it away, it won't be used on the people of Nanhu County. It will either be used by Liu Jiwu to fight or swallowed up by those aristocratic families. It is better to snatch it back by me.

It can also be used in Nanhu County in the future.

The conditions in Nanhu County are much better than those in some counties in the north, but it is not that there are no poor people. Some of them are due to their own reasons, such as illness, laziness, and bad luck. In short, they just cannot live a good life;

The greater part is due to the suppression of the environment. They are diligent and hardworking, but they do not have much knowledge and foresight. Therefore, they may not be able to harvest enough food for the whole family after a year of hard work. If there is a disaster year, it will be even more difficult. They can only buy houses, land or even sell their children.

When the Qian Kingdom occupies Nanhu County, it will definitely not govern Nanhu County according to the previous Shun Kingdom method. It will invest a lot of money and food to transform it, making it truly the hometown of fishermen for all the people of Nanhu County.

That has nothing to do with Zhao Long. How to govern Nanhu County is a matter for the civil servants. He only wants to do one thing now, to get food!

"Ask Dongting County to deliver 10,000 shi of grain tomorrow. Pay attention to safety and do not send it to the Shun army.

Let Shi Kuan speed up his attack into the hinterland of Nanhu County. He is not in a hurry to attack the city. He first searches for a few large households with a bad reputation and collects food. There will be many opportunities to attack the city in the future. "

Reputation is the most useless thing, but it is also the most useful, because sometimes its effect does not depend on oneself, but on the enemy.

The Shenwu Guards are very particular, so reputation is an important indicator for them in finding combat targets.

Big business owners who don't usually cherish their reputation and like to do evil, your disaster is coming!
