After hearing this, Zhu Yuejun also understood the meaning of Tang Mi's words. No talent and no strength are not the same. If you have a million, you can win tens of millions, but if you have a piece, you may not win a hundred. It's that simple. The truth!
"Seriously...is there no other way?" Zhu Yuejun's eyes slowly dimmed!
"If Tang Mi is in charge, we can survive for another ten days!" Tang Mi said.
Ten days? After everyone heard this, they felt a little better. After all, there were still ten days. If there was a miracle, maybe Border and Far East would be able to come back with help. At this moment, everyone seemed to see hope!
"Tell me, what's your plan?" Zhu Yuejun asked hurriedly.
Tang Mi was about to open her mouth, but found that she seemed to be raising her head more and more. She turned to look at Li Yukun. Li Yukun saw Tang Mi's eyes and smiled, "I said, girl, what do you think I'm such a bad old man for? I'm already old. Now, This is the world for you young people, I’ll leave this team to you to command!”
After Tang Mi heard this, she bowed deeply to Li Yukun and said, "Old General, then Tang Mi is so presumptuous!"
Tang Mi looked at Li Hanrui, "The only way to stop the rebels now is in these two places!" After Tang Mi finished speaking, she pointed at Shanxi and Shaanxi!
"What do you mean?" Li Hanrui asked.
"The rebels have been fighting from Guangxi to Sichuan. After a long journey, the food and grass have been consumed very quickly. Moreover, it is a long distance to transport from Guangxi to Henan. Their logistical supplies must not be so fast, so they have only one way to collect food and grass!" Tang Mi said! .
"You mean they have to requisition food?" Li Hanyan asked.
"You think Ye Yuanzhi is too kind. He only knows how to rob, but he missed one step. If he wants to go straight to the capital, Henan is the only way for him to pass. But everyone knows that Henan has just experienced a great crisis. If there is a disaster, there is no food to collect at all, and the logistics supply line is too long, the Lord will definitely cut his army’s schedule in half!" Tang Mi said.
After Li Yukun saw the terrain, he suddenly understood what Tang Mi meant, "So he can only collect food locally from Shaanxi and Shanxi!"
"That's right, so if we want to trap the rebels now, we only need to arrive in Shanxi and Shaanxi one step ahead and get all the food and grass, or even destroy it. As long as the rebels can't get food and grass, they can't starve. Going to the battlefield with your belly?" Tang Mi said.
Li Hanrui nodded and gave Tang Mi a thumbs up, "Thanks to Zhuge, the daughter of the Ming Dynasty. It is indeed a good strategy. As long as the food and grass are destroyed and an ambush is laid on the spot, it will not only delay their pace, but also revive them." morale!"
"But how do you know Ye Yuanzhi wouldn't have thought of this in advance? He might have sent troops to these two places to collect food now!" Li Hanyan said.
"Soldiers are valuable and fast. You and I, both of the Li family, both have 20,000 elite cavalry, and we are close to these two provinces. As long as we attack now, we will definitely arrive before them. Even if they travel day and night, they can't be faster than us, let alone What's more, Ye Yuanzhi is suspicious by nature, he doesn't dare to send all the cavalry out to collect food!" Tang Mi said.
After hearing this, Li Yukun nodded immediately, "Without further delay, Han Rui, lead all the cavalry to Shanxi immediately. Be sure to collect all the grain and grass, and not let the enemy get a single grain!"
"Yes! I accept the order!"
Zhu Yuejun looked at Tang Mi, "Then Shaanxi will be in charge of you!"
"Tang Mi takes orders, Princess, among our 40,000-strong army, there are only 20,000 Qilin Guards left in the capital. If anything happens, we may not be able to come back in time!" Tang Mi said worriedly.
Zhu Yuejun sighed, "Things are planned by people and accomplished by God. Now it depends on whether God will bless our Ming Dynasty!"
"Second brother, I'll go with you!" Li Hanyan shouted.
"This? The capital is not very safe. Just stay in the capital to accompany your father and protect the capital!" Li Hanrui said.
Li Hanyan thought carefully and finally nodded, "Second brother, you must be careful!"
"I know!" Li Hanrui turned to look at Li Yukun, "Father, my son is gone!"
"Okay!" Li Yukun nodded lightly and said nothing else.
Tang Mi and Li Hanrui glanced at each other, and then quickly left the hall, preparing to rush to these two provinces to do important things!
When Ye Yuanzhi led the army into Henan the next day, he saw the refugees and disaster victims everywhere. Ye Yuanzhi frowned and thought that this year of disaster was really serious. Bones and rotten corpses could be seen everywhere.
After setting up camp, Ye Yaoming hurriedly walked into the tent and said, "Commander Father, I have something to report!"
"Will!"
"Now there is not much food and grass left in the army. This...?"
"Where are the logistics supply troops? When will the food and grass be delivered?" Ye Yuanzhi shouted loudly!
"It will take two days at the earliest, and what's the situation in the area? It's probably impossible to collect food and grass at all!" Ye Yaoming said.
Ye Yuanzhi sighed, looked at the map, and after a moment pointed at Shanxi and Shaanxi, "Immediately send 20,000 cavalry to these two provinces to collect grain on the spot. Be sure to hurry!"
"Yes, I will make arrangements now!" After Ye Yaoming finished speaking, he turned and left!
That night, in Sichuan, an army as long as a fire dragon was seen marching slowly through the mountains and forests. There were a thousand carriages in total, and the carriages contained whole bags of food!
This army is none other than the logistics supply army of the rebels. The battle ahead is tight, so they dare not rest and travel day and night to transport food and grass to the front!
However, this group of people did not notice that in the mountains and forests on the side, there were nearly 10,000 people wearing black leather clothes and masks on their faces. All of them were riding war horses and had weapons on their waists. The leader When the man saw the team below, a sarcastic smile appeared in his eyes!
"Brothers, don't say I've treated you badly. Have you seen the team below? If you grab it, you have to bury it in a pit and make food. After eating and drinking, let's take away the remaining food. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" a group of people whispered.
"Then let's go! Why are you so polite? Just treat yourself as your own family, come on!"
Following the man's order, tens of thousands of men rode down the river, roaring loudly as they ran!
"Fire arrows!" Following the order, everyone took off their bows and fired a volley. Tens of thousands of arrows flew towards the entire transport convoy. This group of soldiers transporting grain and grass had just discovered the enemy. I was given a warm reception by my dear Jianyu.
After one round, two-thirds of the people were lying down, and the horses suffered numerous casualties! The leader of the men laughed when he saw it, "Brothers, keep on wading, all the horses will be killed. We won't eat food tonight, we will eat meat!"
"Yes! Shoot these bastards!"
"Kill...!" Tens of thousands of people came down the mountain like a flood. The sound of horse hooves and shouts made the earth tremble. The enemy soldiers transporting food and grass were frightened when they saw so many people. , the smart ones immediately turned around and ran away, while the others were frightened and stood there motionless!
As a result, they were slaughtered by this group of people who didn't know where they came from. Thousands of carts of food and grass were easily captured. Everyone cheered loudly and held torches high!
The man in the lead rushed over, "What are you yelling for? I feel like lighting fires to boil water, killing horses and eating meat!"
"Yes!" Everyone immediately started preparing for supper!
Ye Yuanzhi slapped the table, his eyes widened. "What did you say? The grain and grass being transported were robbed?"
"Yes! In Sichuan!" Ye Yaoming nodded and said.
"How is this possible? Who dares to shoot our Ye family's food and grass? Don't you want to live?" Ye Yuanzhi shouted angrily.
"People have been sent to investigate, but apart from some horse hoof prints, there are no clues left at the scene, and all the food has been taken away!" Ye Yaoming said helplessly.
"It's simply lawless. These people are simply rebelling. Check it out for me. You must find out who did it? I must destroy them!" Ye Yuanzhi shouted.
"Yes! My son, go now!" Ye Yaoming said.
On the Shanxi side, Ye Yuanzhi has already led people to visit all the grain and grass supply stations in the entire province. Fortunately, there are many people, 20,000 people collected all the grain and grass, and then regulated all the people together!
Li Hanrui stood on the high platform: "Everyone of the people of the Ming Dynasty, listen, now the uncle Ye Yuanzhi is rebelling, and he will definitely come to our Shanxi to steal grain, so for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor, we must not let him get a grain of grain!" "
"From today onwards, all the people will come to the city to eat and eat! You will be full every time, but there is a condition, that is, when the enemy comes, you must take up arms to fight side by side with us and defend us together. Ming Dynasty!"
When all the people heard this, they panicked instantly. It was scary enough that someone was rebelling, but they didn't expect that they would fight to the death now? Ordinary people don’t care so much!
"Isn't it your job to be a soldier to fight a war? Why do you let us fight to the death?"
"That's right! We pay food and taxes every year, and when bad guys come, we have to fight hard. Are you soldiers just for free?"
"Yes! We don't care! Why should we die?"
"That's right...!" When the people heard that they were going to fight, they immediately became resentful. No one wanted to lose their life for this matter!
Li Hanrui saw that the people were unwilling to fight together. He understood, but he was still angry: "Okay! You don't have to resist the rebels. Then I will tell you what the outcome will be. They will break through your city gates and break into your houses." Door!"
"Robbing you of food, ruining your mothers, wives, and daughters! And you can only watch. If you can resist with us, all the old, young, women, and children will be pushed to the back of the city to take shelter. They will have two meals a day. I know you I don’t want to die!”
"Then let us go first. When the enemy comes, I will charge with my soldiers. If we die, if you want to see your wife and girl being raped, I have nothing to say. If you don't want to see it, just pick up our dead soldiers. Use your own weapons to resist! I am not asking you, but I am asking you to do what a man should do and bear the responsibility!"
"We also have wives and children, as well as parents and brothers. We are working hard here to protect them from being abused. Let me see today if there are any real men in Shanxi!" Li Hanrui shouted!
An impassioned statement was spoken into everyone's heart. How could a group of passionate men tolerate this? Let his wife be raped? It’s simply heartless!
"I'll go with you!" a man shouted.
"I'll go too! Just send my sister to the rear!"
"I'm going... I'm going too!" The whole crowd was like pouring ink into the water, and it quickly infected all the hot-blooded men!
Li Hanrui smiled. In this way, he could get at least thousands, or even tens of thousands, of people to help him, and he would not be alone!
"Report...!" A cavalryman rushed over quickly, "General, rebels were found five kilometers away!"
"Wow...!" The entire scene was in an uproar. I didn't expect the enemy troops to come so quickly!
"How many people are there?" Li Hanrui asked.
"About ten thousand cavalry!"
"Hahaha...! Well done! All the men in Shanxi come to the city wall and watch how our Ming soldiers slaughter these rebels. Do they want your food and your women? Our Ming Dynasty Lions The legion is the first one not to agree, soldiers!”
"exist!"
"Follow me to the battle!" Li Hanrui roared angrily!
"yes!"
The gate of Gulan City opened, and Li Hanrui rushed out first, followed by 20,000 cavalry. Like arrows from the string, they quickly stabbed the enemy troops who came to collect food, while all the people in Shanxi ran to the city wall. , watch this battle!
The rebels who came to collect food didn't know it yet, but the other side had already set up their positions and was ready to attack. They wanted to save them from having to worry about three meals a day. The war was about to break out. They originally wanted to come and eat, but who knew the outcome. I didn't eat it, but I got a white knife!
At about the same time, a fierce battle also started in Pisces City in Shaanxi. Tang Mi stood on the city wall and looked at the one-sided battle. She couldn't help but smile. She slowly turned her head to look to the west. The one she thought about deeply. Why would the figure appear?
