After the sun rose again the other day, the town of Hui County, which had finally spent a night of fear, was filled with panic shouts again:

"Not good, Song Shuai, a large number of enemy troops crossed the river and went to attack the east coast!"

"Reported, Song Shuai, Beiwucheng (Shulei) and Yanjing Town on the east coast were fallen..."

"Reported, Song Shuai, the East Coast bandit army seized Shanghengqiao and Pingsha Ferry, Huakou Ferry..."

"Not good, Song Shuai, there is a large group of enemy ships going up the river..."

Song Hao, the governor of Dongchuan, who was arranged for follow-up defense matters in the court, received almost one after another bad news from the city. When he personally rushed to the east wall of the city to look at it, he couldn't help but feel cold.

Because, on the turbid river, the waterwheelers and ships that were not windy and did not use the people and animals on the shore to pull and pull, were towing several large flat boats, and slowly turned against the upstream. On the side of the ship, there were also bandits with helmets and armor, flags, and many large and small cannon vehicles.

At this time, Song Hao realized the key to being truly ignored by him. These thieves actually relied on the spring flood season of the Fu River to bring a large number of vehicles and ships that could be traced up without the help of external forces into this seasonal channel, and were able to easily bypass the key water and land rush guarded by Hui County.

Once these pirate ships detour the rear of the north and cut off the passage and retreat from Xichuan's support, it will become an isolated and helpless city. Or the thief army will be greedy for Shu and advance to Mianyang and Jiangyou, then it will be easy to separate the land of Dongchuan and Xichuan from the north Shannan West Road, and become a trapped place.

Under such circumstances, the previous strategic deployment of clearing the wilderness and strengthening the walls and crossing the river has become completely bankrupt, and more new countermeasures and means are needed.

The next moment, Song Hao begged Chen Rudao to Duya who was hurriedly summoned:

"Ziru, I will have another opportunity to redeem your merits;"

"But by the orders of Mr. Song!"

Chen Ru, who had been retiring, also responded repeatedly:

"I dare to ask Mr. Song, but I want to pursue and harass the enemy who is heading north... "

"No, this is not the case, isn't it just right for the thief army to be in trouble! Since the enemy has been advancing north through water, I will do the opposite..."

Song Hao shook his head and said:

"With you bringing a thousand united children as the front drive, crossing Nangou Bridge overnight to attack the remaining enemy camp on the other side. But with five points of energy, it will make a twelve-point momentum. If the thief camp is empty, it will take advantage of the situation to seize it. If it is resisted, continue to attack Shihong along the south of the Yangtze River, waiting for an opportunity to cut off its grain platform and grain road... Later, I will also lead the formation to cover it and kill it to echo; burn the bridges on the east bank nearby..."

"... As long as the current situation is delayed until the period of plum blossoms (rain) after the month, the firearms of the thieves' army may not be fast. This is the best time for our army to reverse the decline and even fight back with all its strength."

In the evening, the sound outside the city gradually faded and the campfires were flickering, and Diao Dou wandered even more. Chen Ru, with the unity of Yi Qianzizhou, also covered his body from the south gate that opened, and rode across the Nanqiaogou in a row in a row, then raised the flag and lit the torch and rushed towards the enemy camp not far away;

Just in one encounter, with the scattered earth thunders and the bodies that were blown up and overturned one after another, most of the remaining people easily destroyed and crossed the camp and broke into the Taiping Army's stance. However, with a series of roars, the flames that quickly lit up and spread rapidly also illuminated the panic and astonished faces of these night attack troops.

The entire huge camp was empty and there was no one left. There were only some pigs and sheep with torches and flags on them. During this period, they were wandering aimlessly, and were frightened by the attackers and ran around everywhere, causing and touching more mechanisms for explosions and fire. At this moment, Chen Ru was also shouting heart-wrenchingly:

"If you have fraud, please retreat quickly..."

However, before they could gather together, the cannons that fell into the sky with the faint sound of thunder, bombarded one after another between the camps. The flames spreading around not only burned and trapped the unity of these sneak attacks, but also made them the best and most obvious targets that kept radiating in the dark.

At the same time, Song Hao, who was wearing great armor, was already ready to attack, looked at the scene of the man on the other side of Nangou, roaring and shouting, raising the sword in his hand several times but then hangs down. Finally, in his anxious and expectant eyes, he suddenly hunched down and walked down without looking back.

However, among the scattered hills north of the city, a large group of Taiping soldiers standing or sitting in the darkness of the night; Zhong Yi, the general of the Yuzhou military commander who returned, sighed secretly while looking high. He had no ability to wait for the subsequent attack and the support, which also means that this two-stage ambush and subsequent arrangement can only achieve a small part of the results.

——I am the dividing line of the plot—

Outside Xiangyang City, it is the routine spring collective labor experience day for the Grand Governor’s Office.

Zhou Huaian stood up from the edge of the field where he was planting rice. After taking a sip of the iced plum soup, he felt that his whole body was completely moved and sweating profusely by the spring sun. It was also indescribable. Especially after saying goodbye to the complicated and accumulated official documents, even the symbolic work in the fields became a rare adjustment and relaxation.

After all, here we just need to consider how to make good efforts and achieve the goal in front of us; we no longer have to pay attention to the various gains and losses, tendencies, positions, and motivations contained in the vast crowd of literary meetings; we also don’t have to worry about the people’s livelihood and situations that seem to be purely digital, and the situations of all parties, and the choices and choices that are prioritized.

I saw Lu Yan, who was dressed in a civilian dress, stepping on the mud barefoot and whispering to the report:

"Wang Shang, the latest accounting data of the five warehouses has been summarized and completed."

"continue"

Zhou Huaian couldn't help but nodded, wiped the plum juice from the corner of his mouth and said, "Then he sat upright in the dry place of the field stems, and heard Lu Yan standing beside him and talking:

"In the early April, all the main warehouses (official warehouses, public warehouses) in the five roads and twelve roads have accumulated salary, welfare, allowances and preferential treatment, special rice and wheat, and more than 910,000 stones of dried jacquard and products; salt, dried fruit, jerky, tea, wine, sauce and other supplementary foods will be separately calculated, and the price will be 187,000 yuan."

"There are all kinds of charity warehouses in various cities and towns, and all kinds of charity warehouses in various places, and the rice for the relief of the four seasons of floods and droughts. They also relocate and resettle rations, and help the lonely and widows to get married and reward the added children. About 91,300 stones...the surplus is still about 55,000 stones."

"In each state, the Changping Store of the Road, in February, July, November and December, a total of about 410,000 stones of rice, wheat, and bean curd; since June and September, the annual new rice, wheat, and bean curd were respectively earned 370,000 stones of rice, wheat, and bean curd; the surplus surplus was about 101,000 pieces, and the inventory was still... "

"There are 93 transshipment warehouses in various places, a total of 9.75 million stones of bunches were transferred, and the cost of 34,000 stones was reduced. The cost of retrieval and maintenance of the transport vehicles and ships was 29,800 stones, and 210,000 and 900 stones were retained in the account."

"Jiangling, Xiangyang, Fanyu, Jiangning and Zhongling's five major Taicangs (general warehouses) were allocated to the warehouse, and the surplus was 790,000 shi of rice, wheat, beans and vegetables were stored in the warehouse that year, and 410,000 shi of rice, wheat, beans and vegetables were retained in previous years. Among them, the maintenance fees and industrial and food of Jiansheng's troops, the garrisons, construction sites, workshops, pastoral brigades, breeding plants, mines, salt fields, forest farms, and fishing teams were about 650,000 shi."

"The largest expenditure was the twelve military warehouses and the military warehouses, which routinely provided the orders of the berthing, the garrisons and the garrisons, the training and formations to the grain, totaling 670,000 stones of rice and wheat, and 170,000 stones of jichao products; the expenses of the three armies in Xiajiang, Shanxi and the pass were about 190,000 stones, 130,000 stones and 350,000 stones."

"In addition, there were about 65,000 stones of expansion in the west of Xiejiling in the Annan branch; there were 150,000 stones of expansion in the coastal settlement of Fujian and the development of Yizhou; there were 93,000 stones of expansion in Xuanshe and Jiangxi branch; there were 93,000 stones of expansion in the south of Zhejiang and 93,000 stones of expansion in the barbarians;..."

"The Xixi branch of Zhejiang Ji Xi Ji Xi Xi Ji Xi Xi Ji Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi from the West. "The West is 50,000 shi of 50,000 shi of road openings, and 6 million kilograms of tea and medicine."

"There are 190,000 stones of rice, wheat, beans and vegetables, and 50,000 sections of silk cloth on the Jingnan branch road. The salt was unearthed from Xiajiang Road and 11,000 dan of spring salt, and the three rivers in Jiannan and the barbarians were combined. There are also 10,000 branches of Shannan Dongdao to Luyang Pass and the Zhaku Mountain Shrine Field, divided into 16 large and small batches, about 86,000 stones."

Speaking of this, Lu Yan couldn't help but pause before saying:

"In addition, the Wangshi Bureau of Luyang Pass came to report that it was a sign of locust plague in Henan. The Duji Province intends to purchase a large amount of grain, and the request was very large for 100,000 stones. The local area did not dare to rush to submit a petition to the king."

"As soon as spring comes, it will be 100,000 shi? It's more than last year and the previous year...."

Zhou Huaian thought about the pros and cons and weighed the pros and cons before he slowly started to speak:

"In terms of past credit and qualifications, you can theoretically agree with that side first. As long as the other party can get enough of the price, don't start the price, just trade according to the past average price; it only needs to be delivered in batches, and settled from less to more to try to avoid any risks of accidents and twists and turns."

"In addition, I will send someone to tell Zhu Laosan that if the people under Henan ruled are allowed to enter Shannan with bare hands to eat when the disaster is serious, this is what I will give him some favors and preferential treatment!"

When Lu Yan took the order to retreat, and walked to the assistants who were on standby in the shed next to him, drafting the content he had just given was written into a document; a staff officer on duty who was specifically responsible for the naval army team came up and continued to report in a low voice:

"The Xiajiang Road naval commander Lin Duwei came to report that the Yuzhou dispatched troops have advanced to Dongchuan in Zizhou. However, in order to ensure the corresponding transportation and supply, there have been 43 ships that have been rushing to the beach, stranded, overturned and sunk in unfamiliar hydrological environments, and have reached 43. I am worried that I can't continue."

"Tell them not to be stingy with the investment in sailing and capacity; this loss is nothing compared to the overall situation today;"

Zhou Huaian responded without hesitation:
Chapter completed!
