In Fuling City, the army dispersed in all directions, resting when it was time and patrolling when it was time to patrol.
There were not many defenders in the city, a total of five thousand, and they all became Luo Zhang's prisoners. These men were captured under Changsun Wuji's coercion, and they had no choice but to follow Changsun Wuji. Now, Luo Zhang's arrival is a big blow to them. Simply gospel.
Many people expressed on the spot that they would follow Luo Zhang and take refuge in Luo Zhang.
Luo Zhang naturally had no objection to this. Of course, it was impossible to completely trust these people. He temporarily organized these people together separately. If they were placed in his own team and there were one or two spies among them, then his plans and actions Since everything will be exposed, it is better to collect it first and keep it for review.
Some people stay, and some want to leave. After all, they were all captured by force. Some people don’t want to be soldiers themselves. Changsun Wuji adopts a high-pressure posture. If you want to run away, then your whole family will be beheaded. , who would dare to escape under such a threat.
After Luo Zhang learned about this, he waved his hand and asked all those who did not want to be soldiers to go home, and also distributed some money and food.
Regarding Luo Zhang's benevolence and righteousness, the departing soldiers knelt down and thanked Luo Zhang for his kindness. Some people said that they would come to Luo Zhang again after settling down at home.
Luo Zhang readily agreed and said whether he would come or not, this face-saving project must be done well. The people in Shu have been tortured in recent years and have a very bad impression of the soldiers. How can this be done? If it continues like this, there will never be peace in Shu. He If we beat him, I'm afraid there will still be unrest here and there will still be rebels.
Even if it is not as powerful as Changsun Wuji, the continuous appearance of rebels will greatly reduce Shuzhong's contribution.
You know, Shuzhong was a big producer of grain before, and Shu brocade was a good thing for the royal family. Now because of the war in Shuzhong in Chang'an, Shu brocade has been sold at sky-high prices. If it weren't for the potatoes and corn produced by Luo Zhang, the grain , I'm afraid it will grow wildly.
After all, if there are no potatoes and corn, then we have to eat grain. If there is a war in Sichuan, grain production will definitely decrease. The decrease in production means that there will not be enough food to eat this year. If there is not enough food, the price will naturally rise.
In this way, many people who cannot afford food will starve to death, and the chain reaction will be terrible.
Although releasing some people back will not have much impact on the overall situation, it shows Luo Zhang's attitude, that is, Qiu Wuji did not commit any crimes. Don't worry that the Tang army will exploit you. We are different from the rebel Zhang Sun Wuji.
If Changsun Wuji knew that Luo Zhang was actually planning such an attack on his heart, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood. In this way, even if he occupied Shuzhong, the people in Shu would not turn against him and would even resist him everywhere. Possibly escape from Shuzhong.
If there are no people in Shu, what is it called Shu?
These are just some of Luo Zhang's backup plans. It would be best if he could defeat Changsun Wuji.
After handling various matters, Luo Zhang summoned all the generals to the city lord's mansion for discussion.
Now that the news has been passed on to Changsun Wuji, he has to think about the next thing.
How should they deal with the arrival of Changsun Wuji? This is a matter of great importance and there is no room for carelessness.
Once they make a mistake, all their previous efforts will be in vain. Not only will Shuzhong be captured, but they will also run away in confusion. This is not what Luo Zhang wants to see.
After everyone gathered at the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Zhang immediately assigned tasks.
With the 60,000 troops in his hands, if he wanted to confront Changsun Wuji's 200,000 troops head-on, he would almost be looking for death.
Naturally, Luo Zhang would not be stupid enough to confront someone head-on. If he didn't confront someone head-on, he would have to resort to tactics.
Ambush is the best choice, but where to ambush, how to ambush, and how to attack are all knowledge. It does not mean that you find a mountain forest where Changsun Wuji must pass and wait there, and then launch an attack when he is halfway through. , Changsun Wuji's army will definitely be in chaos, and if we take advantage of the situation to attack, we will definitely win a complete victory.
This is all just talk on paper, the real situation is not that simple.
First of all, Luo Zhang took out a map. This map was drawn by Luo Zhang before he came here. Part of it was the terrain in his memory, and part of it was based on inquiries from many parties, and then compared with the map of the Tang Dynasty, the final one was drawn. map.
Although I am not 100% sure that this map is accurate, the difference is very small. It can be regarded as the most detailed map of Shu in the Tang Dynasty.
Seeing such a detailed map, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all speculated what Luo Zhang's plan was. Luo Zhang never said his intentions from the time he sent out troops. It was only now that they were sitting in Fuling City that they knew what Luo Zhang was going to do. It was a sneak attack on Changsun Wuji's lair, which showed how deep he was hidden.
Now that I have another map, I don’t know what tricks are coming next.
