Chapter 743
Song Wensong wanted to take the risk, but the boy first claimed to be the one who took control of the hundreds of key guards who followed him, and then arranged all the Nanfu Army around his house. In this way, Song Wensong became a lonely man.
Faced with this situation, he was simply crazy and cursed every day: "Lu Zheng, you are really fucking dying! I worked hard to be cannon fodder for you, so that you can gain a firm foothold in the north. Now I don't even have a foothold in Jiangnan, and I live like a prisoner. Could it be that you really want to rebel and want to rebel Dakang?"
He scolded him for a day, but no one paid attention to him. He yelled to see the prince again, which was even more impossible. He was so depressed that he stayed in the mansion for three days.
On this day, the boy came to the door again, so how could Song Wensong hold on? He ignored him and grabbed the boy and took action. His martial arts skills were very high, and the boy was also a master. After the two of them fought, the boy suffered a physical loss and was at a disadvantage. However, it was not easy for Song Wensong to win.
Song Wensong is now making trouble, with the purpose of making trouble. He knew that Lu Zheng's intention was to obstruct him from doing things, but Lu Zheng would never take his life at this moment. This is his confidence in making a big fuss. In this way, he made another big fuss. When everything returned to silence, the boy came over and said:
"General Song, my son Feige sent a letter, scolding us for being disrespectful to the general, saying that the general is his brother for many years, and we should give him courtesy. Today I came to apologize!"
Song Wensong sneered and said, "I don't know Lu Zheng's hypocrisy yet. Don't be hypocritical. After that, what are his tricks? Let me tell you, as soon as Lu Zheng sticks out his butt, I know what he is going to do!"
The boy's face remained unchanged and said, "Young Master asked me to tell the general that you should not enjoy the peace and prosperity in the south of the Yangtze River. The war in the north is fierce, which is a good stage for the general to display his talents. My boy asked the general to go north and work together with him to fight for the great prosperity and the country. General, this is your great opportunity. You also asked the general to make a decision!"
"What?" Song Wensong raised his brows: "Lu Zheng actually asked me to go north? Let me go to Lianghe? I'm sorry, he is worried that I'm in Jiangnan, and is worried that I will threaten him in Jiangnan! Humph, it's just a dream to put me in the north and put me next to me, and take this to pinch me!"
Song Wensong cursed again, and the words of the scolding were naturally very unpleasant. After this curse, the boy said again: "Young Master also said that if the general is unwilling to go north, then don't force others to do anything. Everything follows the general's own wishes. However, my young master recently found one among the refugees. The man's surname is Yuanzhi and claimed to be the general's counselor. My young master and Mr. Qi fell in love with each other at first sight. During the conversation between the two, Mr. Qi also said that the general's future is not in the south of the Yangtze River, but in the north. The young master asked the general to think twice!"
After the boy finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave. Song Wensong stared at his back blankly, his face changed. Finally, he shouted loudly: "Okay, tell Lu Zheng, I am willing to go north, when can I leave?"
The boy smiled slightly and said, "The canal boat has been prepared for you. Take a walk of water and then go directly from Xuzhou to Yuzhou. You will be there in three days!"
Song Wensong did not sleep all night. He never expected that he had to come back from the north after working hard. He was completely stripped down in Jiangnan, and now he had to go back to the north again. Since he led his troops, Song Wensong has never suffered such a crushing defeat.
Song Wensong was in chaos with the idea of Long Zhaohuan. He no longer had the capital to ask Lu Zheng for his price. Only by going to the north and using his ability to fight, he could find a glimmer of hope.
...
Yuzhou, since the city has been replaced with a new owner, it has been changing here almost every day. The walls of Yuzhou have been renovated and look more majestic, more solid and more majestic than before.
The popularity of Yuzhou has now increased significantly. Merchants from south to south have abandoned the passage of the capital and all channels to do business in Yuzhou. In addition, more and more soldiers are coming from the south. These soldiers camped inside and outside the Yuzhou City and began to integrate into the daily production and life of the people of Yuzhou.
Lu Zheng's tent was located next to the Hejian Palace in Yuzhou City. He used most of the mansions of the Hejian Palace, but did not borrow the other party's gate. The people entering the tent every day were like a carousel, with people coming and going in endless streams.
Zhang Pinghua went from Jiangnan to Yuzhou, and with him were Lu Zheng's father-in-law Dai Gao, and Zhao Yunlong, Chen Lizhong, Wang Wenbing and other advisers all gathered in Yuzhou.
Lu Zheng's family Dai Xiaojing, Ying'er, Xiaonu and others also arrived in Yuzhou, and all the counselors and family members gathered in Yuzhou, which represents Lu Zheng's will and determination. That is, he must guard the land of the Two Rivers. Not only must he protect it, but he also must use it as his foundation. This will is as solid as a rock and cannot be shaken.
"Song Naifeng is indeed a famous general in Dakang. He avoided the biggest risks and also put us the greatest pressure. In terms of military strength and strength, the gap between our two rivers and the Northwest Army has not narrowed, but has widened! Song Naifeng's hundreds of thousands of people are to eat people! Therefore, the defense of Yuzhou City requires a long-term high pressure to ensure long-term pressure!" Zhang Pinghua said.
Wang Wenbing was born as a military general. He heard Zhang Pinghua say this, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's a pity that we don't have horses and the cavalry is stuck, otherwise our Nanfu Army will be enough to fight against our opponents!"
Wang Wenbing's words made everyone silent. Now Lu Zheng's Southern Palace soldiers have more than 100,000. Among these hundreds of thousands, 60,000 are all elite soldiers who followed Lu Zheng's battles in the south and north, and only 30,000 of these 60,000 cavalry.
Lu Zheng used 30,000 cavalry. If the Northwest Army also used 30,000 cavalry, the two sides would fight, even if Lu Zheng was weaker, he would still have the power to fight. But the problem is that the Northwest Army now has more than 100,000 cavalry, while Lu Zheng only had 30,000 cavalry, which made the "guerrilla" tactics formulated by Lu Zheng before were simply impossible!
The enemy advances and we retreat, and it is impossible for the enemy to retreat and we advance. The Two Rivers are indeed the most famous plain area in Dakang. Cavalry attacked on the plains, and the infantry had no way to compete with it.
Recently, the Nanfu Army has specially carried out targeted training for infantry to fight cavalry. When the two sides confronted the battle formation, the Nanfu Army could use formations and modao, and the long spears had already cooperated with the swords and shields to fight with the cavalry, but the opponent's cavalry was flexible and mobile, and could easily change the strategy. Lu Zheng used more than 100,000 people to guard the Mesopotamian area, but it seemed that the troops were insufficient and exhausted.
"Our Dakang Army has always been compared with the Northern Yan because of the fact that the horse war is not superior to the horse war. After the founding of the country, our Dakang Army has always been very attentive to cultivate cavalry and has put in great strength. However, most of the horse farms are located in Longyou and Liaodong. Therefore, the most powerful troops in Dakang over the years are the Liaodong Army and the Northwest Army. This is innately decided and it is difficult to reverse!" Dai Gao, who had not spoken, said indifferently.
His status is really too high and too legendary, so when he said something lightly, everyone was speechless! Then everyone turned their eyes to Lu Zheng, because only Lu Zheng could make a decision in the situation in front of him.
Lu Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that one day our Dakang Dynasty would fall into such a situation. Now our Dakang Dynasty's army has become alone. The Northwest Army, the Liaodong Army, the Huainan Army, and the Lingnan Army have all the cities.
We cannot solve the problem of cavalry, but we now have two advantages. The first advantage is that we have food and grass and silver. The second advantage is that our two rivers have tens of millions of people. We can manage the two rivers well. Then relying on the people of the two rivers, we organize a big defense network. I believe that with this big network, our enemies will be defeated one by one!”
Lu Zheng's tone was firm and his confidence was firm. He knew that the key to deciding victory or defeat was not only military, but also politically, and even the core of politics would be even more critical!
Now that Lu Zheng wants to manage the two rivers well, he must first strengthen the most basic government construction of the two rivers, and in addition, he must return to the people, so he must grasp the advantages of the distribution system.
Henan and Hebei used to be powerful families who controlled the world, and this place was almost an independent kingdom. The Cao family and the Zhao family had a great influence in the two rivers. Anyone, including the imperial court, needed to rely on them to gain a foothold here in the territory of the two rivers.
How should Lu Zheng gain a foothold now? Will he continue to rely on the powerful family? If so, Lu Zheng would not be able to do better than Cao Weiming, because Cao Weiming himself is the leading figure of the Cao family, but what will happen to Cao Weiming? His end is that he has defected to Song Naifeng and become the minister whom Song Naifeng sits down!
Lu Zheng's voice suddenly rose, saying, "We fight for the country, for the court and His Majesty, and more importantly, we fight for the people of the two rivers!
Everyone, you have seen the people of the Two Rivers. They have been bullied by the wealthy and powerful families for generations. They live a dark life. Now that we have occupied the Two Rivers, should we continue to be like the Cao family and the Zhao family? Or should we completely rescue them, let them become the loyal people of our Great Kang Dynasty, and the greatest help to help us defeat the rebels?
Everyone, water can carry a boat and can also overturn it! The key to our victory or defeat is not on the battlefield, but here..."
Lu Zheng pointed to his heart with his finger and shouted, "Human heart, does this know about the heart of the people? As long as the people of the world return to their hearts, even if we lose repeatedly, we will win in the end! As long as the people of the world do not return to their hearts, even if we win repeatedly, the result will be a miserable defeat! Can you understand this principle? Can you understand?"
Lu Zheng's passionate words were shocked. You should know that Lu Zheng's thoughts were naturally no problem for him, because he had been a human being for many lifetimes, and had been familiar with history books, and knew what the essence behind the change of dynasties from ancient times to the present and changing the world. However, in the world in front of him, many of the strategists under him may not have such thoughts.
Even though they knew some truths vaguely, how could Lu Zheng be so straightforward? Lu Zheng's words were so shocking to them. Everyone couldn't speak for a while. Even Dai Gao was stunned by Lu Zheng's point of view!
Lu Zheng was very determined about the future and had his own ideas on how to manage the Two Rivers. Of course, he could not carry out extreme reforms such as "fighting the local tyrants", because in the current era, such reforms are destined to be too incredible and unsuccessful.
On the one hand, what Lu Zheng did was to eliminate the accumulated problems caused by the long-term domination of powerful families such as the Cao family and the Zhao family in the local area and long-term exploitation, to crack down on the powerful families, to allow the rise of the small surnames and small powers to rise, and to comprehensively reshuffle the territory of the two rivers.
Lu Zheng's idea will not change the foundation of the entire society, but it can quickly change the weather of the entire society. The Cao family and the Zhao family are both rotten. After they were cut off, Lu Zheng hopes that five or even ten can fill the vacancy and then make the entire society look brand new. This is the government order promoted by Lu Zheng...
Lu Zheng's words convinced everyone, and everyone expressed their affirmation. The morale was shocked when the scene was originally quite low.
Seeing that the fire was almost done, Lu Zheng paused and continued: "The problem of cavalry is indeed our biggest weakness, but this weakness is not irreparable. I have arranged it to let our caravan secretly provide us with horses in Beiyan. Although it is difficult for us to accumulate a large number of horses in a short period of time, it will accumulate a lot of horses, and the future will be long. We will spend a long time. In a few years, we will definitely get an amazing number of good horses!"
Lu Zheng had already let Gu Zhilun go north to Beiyan himself. The disputes in the court were particularly fierce in Beiyan. So far, the empress dowager has the upper hand. According to the latest news, the empress dowager is very likely to control the entire situation. Under such circumstances, the intensity of the struggle must have reached the most intense level. Lu Zheng firmly believes that at this time, there should be room for trouble!
In fact, in addition to targeting Beiyan, Lu Zheng actually had a strategy, that is, he invited Song Wensong from Jiangnan to the capital. Lu Zheng was preparing to work hard on this kid and make some sparks to create between Song Wensong and Song Naifeng.
No matter what, Lu Zheng regarded Song Naifeng as an extremely powerful opponent, and he had no choice but to defeat this opponent. If he could not defeat Song Naifeng, he would not be able to establish his own career or foundation. This is almost his destiny!
However, Lu Zheng did not choose to express his ideas on this occasion, because his ideas were really incredible and might even be whimsical. If he said it, he would definitely arouse a lot of opposition, or even unanimous opposition.
