"So I need to understand the situation of the Bashu garrison in the shortest possible time!"

"Understood, the minister issued an order overnight, and within three days, the recent situation of all Bashu troops will be reported!"

Early the next morning, Zhao Junsheng practiced martial arts for an hour as usual, and when the practice was over, the whistle for the morning exercise assembly had already been blown in the Longwei army camp.

"Dud beep..." With the sound of a long series of whistles, within 3 minutes, the soldiers of the Dragon Guards who were fully armed with their helmets and armor carrying knives, spears and bows and quiveres on their backs Run the tents and line up in the open space.

Even though the Dragon Guards are the personal guards to protect the emperor, they are not old soldiers, nor are they young soldiers, nor are they made up randomly by meritorious children. They are the most elite soldiers drawn from various armies. The soldiers of the guards can count as ten, and they can fight on foot or immediately with a bow. A single horse can act as a scout to detect the enemy's situation. Each of them is the elite of the elite, an ancient special soldier.

They enjoyed the highest military treatment, but they also had to undergo the most rigorous military training. Even when they were guarding the emperor, they never stopped until they retired or were assigned to other armies as officers.

The morning exercises started. Under the command of the deputy general on duty, the [-] Dragon Guards started running exercises. There were two quarters of morning running, two quarters of morning exercises, two quarters of bow and horse training, and two quarters of individual combat drills.

At this time, the refugee gathering camp not far away also began to make noise. The officials began to rectify the refugee gathering place according to Zhao Junsheng's instructions during the inspection yesterday and the decision made at the imperial meeting held last night.

The entire camp was divided into [-] districts, with nearly a thousand people in each district. The officials, along with their clerks and soldiers, selected the strong men among the refugees, and then divided them into several groups. Some were assigned to dig latrines, others were They were assigned to dig the drainage ditches in the bathrooms, some were assigned to cut down and collect trees and branches, and the old and weak, women and children were organized to clean and tidy up the inside and outside of tents, shacks, and thatched huts.

Each district was divided into a large pot, and some old and weak women and children were organized to boil water. The officials stipulated that from today onwards, everyone is not allowed to drink raw water, but only cold boiled water. It is stipulated that they must take a bath every day. The clothes should be washed and dried, and it is not allowed to go without a bath for several days.

Some elderly, weak, women and children were organized to clean up various areas of the camp, and some household garbage was cleared away.

There are also most of the refugees who have nothing to do, including children who can walk, organized by the officials and divided into small teams. Each team is assigned a soldier to perform simple tasks such as queuing up, walking in unison, turning in place, and turning. military drills to exercise their obedience, these refugees have to train for a few days, they will be very obedient, they will be obedient, and they will not escape when they are sent to guard and disperse them, and this is also discussed last night Later, Zhao Junsheng made a final decision, militarized management can be very effective in making these refugees have military obedience, which can reduce a lot of things.

But even if they are refugees, some of these people are more or less generous and old-fashioned. These people are usually lazy and lazy, and after they are gathered for military training, they can't stand it anymore and start to fight against the instructors.

Needless to say, after beheading more than a dozen particularly thorny heads in a row, everyone else became honest.

There is nothing wrong with the saying that there are many people and great strength. In just one morning, five hundred latrines were dug out. After the felled tree branches were brought in, latrine houses were built. Each latrine house is divided into two rooms for men and women. The female latrine can accommodate 100 people to go to the toilet at the same time, one pit for each person.

The floor of the [-] bathrooms is paved with stones collected nearby, and a layer of planks is laid on top of the stones, and the surrounding walls are made of wood. The roof is also covered with a layer of trees, and then a layer of thatch is pressed down with branches. The binding is firm, and all drainage ditches have been dug out, and the dirty water from bathing can be drained to the fields through the drainage ditches.

In the afternoon, under the organization of officials, the refugees continued to work, re-strengthening and repairing the tents, thatched huts, and shacks they lived in to increase the ability to prevent wind and rain.

Zhao Junsheng was not idle here either, he called the accompanying ministers and ministers to discuss matters during the day.

"Masters, I feel that this time we have an opportunity to capture Bashu!"

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.

Li Song stood up and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, although Bashu has been plagued by locusts, Liu Song's military defense forces in Bashu are still there, and such a big thing has happened, I'm afraid Jiankang will not be indifferent, right?"

Dongfang Chen said with a smile: "Pindao thinks that His Majesty's idea of ​​attacking Bashu is feasible, and this is the best time!"

"Oh?" Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look at Dongfang Chen, "Tell me, the national teacher!"

Dongfang Chen fanned the wind with a goose feather fan, "Bashu is too far away from Jiankang, the food and grass needed by the Bashu garrison must be expropriated on the spot, but at this time the summer harvest has passed for a month, and most areas of Bashu have no harvest, so the Bashu garrison naturally No food can be collected! If the garrison has no food, it means that it has lost its combat power! My large army just took advantage of this opportunity to attack Bashu effortlessly!"

Someone next to him said: "Although what the national teacher said is good, there should be a lot of food reserves in the Bashu official warehouse!"

Dongfang Chen shook his head: "Although Pindao doesn't know the details, Pindao is sure that the official warehouses in Bashu must be out of food now. These days, the Southern Dynasty is busy besieging and suppressing the refugee army, consuming a lot of food and supplies. The official warehouses in Bashu have long been destroyed. If it’s empty, where is there any food, or why didn’t the local government open warehouses to relieve the disaster, and let so many refugees flee to my territory?”

Chapter 972

There is no doubt that there is a shortage of food in Bashu at this time, otherwise the people of Bashu would not have become refugees. It is precisely because the Bashu government could not get food to relieve the victims, so these victims had to flee famine in order to survive. From disaster victims to refugees.

But is Bashu really short of food?That's not necessarily the case, the fields of small farmers and landlords have been eaten up by locusts, but those big landlords and big families definitely still have a lot of food stored.

The government in various places in Bashu cannot collect food from the people for the garrison to eat, and the garrison will definitely be short of food. Some generals may report to the court to urge food, but some daring generals of the garrison may personally lead troops to the Dalai Lama in order to maintain the stability of the army. Landlords’ families requisition food, and if they don’t give it, they will rob it. Therefore, the garrison in some places in Bashu is not necessarily short of food, it is only those honest people who are short of food.

But no matter what, the large-scale locust plague in Bashu has brought huge pressure on the survival of this place, and it has also made the troops stationed in Bashu panic. The lack of food has brought a huge impact on morale. Especially the border guards were panicked.

Dongfang Chen said to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, I have a plan, which can greatly affect the morale of the Southern Dynasty defenders opposite us, and at the same time make them more flustered, but this plan hurts peace!"

Zhao Junsheng is not a hypocritical and hypocritical person, let alone a bad person, he said: "Tell me what kind of strategy will hurt the peace?"

Dongfang Chen cupped his hands and said: "Yes! Immediately order the border to seal off all the passages entering our territory, and block the remaining Bashu refugees from the border. In order to deter them, we can kill them. Anyone who crosses the border will be killed. No pardon! At the same time, they sent out elite spies to infiltrate the refugees, spread rumors that a certain county in Bashu had food, and there were good people giving porridge, leading those refugees to turn around and return to Bashu, and then spread rumors that there was a large amount of food hoarded in Jianmen Pass, Enough to feed a hundred thousand troops for a year.

Now the border guards of the Southern Dynasties have blocked the passage for the refugees to return to Bashu. If they want to return to Bashu, they can only forcefully pass through Jianmen Pass! "

General Yang Lie said: "The national teacher's plan is very clever. As long as a large number of refugees gather outside Jianmen Pass and clamor to return to Bashu, the border guards here in the Southern Dynasty are all Bashu children. They must not bear to let these tens of thousands of elders go hungry. Die outside the pass, as long as they open the city gate, our spies and secret agents will incite the refugees to rob Jianmen pass for food! At that time, our army's chance will come!"

Zhao Junsheng stood up and walked around in the tent, thinking about how to capture Jianmen Pass, and how to capture all the passes and cities along the way to the middle of Sichuan at the fastest speed.

Now it is necessary to compete with Liu Song in the Southern Dynasties. At this time, Bashu's defense force is the weakest. If we lose this opportunity, I am afraid that such a good opportunity will not be found in the next few years, or even ten years.

He thought for a while, and immediately made a decision: "Kang Yide, convey my will, and order Lu Shuang to dispatch 3000 people from the garrison troops from various places in Liangzhou, and arrive at Jiameng Pass within five days at most!"

"Lu Xuan, I order you to be the governor in charge of food and supplies. The army's attack speed is fast, and the follow-up food must be delivered in time!"

Kang Yide and Lu Xuan stood up together and agreed: "Observe the order!"

Dongfang Chen said: "Your Majesty, those Bashu refugees outside the pass did not carry much food, so they will not last long, so time is very important to us. It takes time to mobilize soldiers and horses. Even if Lu Gui mobilizes 5000 troops from Liangzhou Township A few soldiers and horses have no stamina, and the [-] troops brought by His Majesty this time are all cavalry, so attacking the pass will not do much!"

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "As long as the Bashu refugees rob Jianmen Pass, I will personally lead the [-] Dragon Guards to fight all the way to the middle of Sichuan. Follow up, and then dispatch troops from the nearest counties and counties in Guanzhong to follow up and let them speed up their march! Dongfang Chen, you are in charge of sending people to convey my will to Chencang and Chang'an to dispatch troops and let them follow up quickly , and at the same time be responsible for the liaison with Chang'an, the troops must keep up in time!"

The accompanying ministers and ministers were all shocked, "Your Majesty must not do it. Your Majesty is a man of gold. How can he personally take the risk and lead troops to attack a dangerous pass? What's more, there are only a thousand dragon guards?"

Zhao Junsheng said with a serious face: "Could it be that the emperor inherited his father's career? Is my great power given away for nothing? It was all fought by me and the princes, generals, and soldiers who died in battle." Come out, is it possible that I am already so old that I don’t even have the courage? Greed for life and fear of death?”

All the ministers were speechless.

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "It's decided at this time. Pass the decree to Lu Shuang to order him to block the border and not allow another refugee to enter our country! As for the dispatch of spies and secret agents, I will send someone else to do it. Everyone, just do your own thing with peace of mind! Where is Li Bao?"

Li Bao stood up and cupped his fists and said, "The minister is here!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Although you have followed me to fight Mobei Rouran people, you have never been in battle. Speaking of which, you have not been on the battlefield in person for more than ten years. Do you still have the courage to fight the enemy desperately now? Can you still swing your big ax?"

Li Bao said: "Your Majesty, Li Bao has been waiting for His Majesty's will, and is ready to die at any time. Like Your Majesty, I have never stopped practicing martial arts. Even young people in their teens may not have such a good body. !"

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "Well, these two days, let the soldiers of the Dragon Guards eat and drink enough, sleep well, recharge their batteries, and keep the news of their preparations for the war under wraps for the time being, so don't let it out!"

"Minister Zunzhi!" Li Bao showed an excited look on his face. He has been waiting for this moment for more than ten years. Even if he went to fight Rouran people with Zhao Junsheng last year, he had no chance to fight the enemy when he went to the battlefield. It's really regrettable, who made him Zhao Junsheng's personal bodyguard?

After the accompanying ministers and ministers dispersed, Zhao Junsheng recruited Lin Jinghui, the commander of the black guards, and told Lin Jinghui the plan he had just discussed with the ministers to attack Bashu.

"So, sneaking into the refugees, guiding them, spreading rumors, and encouraging the refugees to snatch Jianmen Pass requires black guards to do it!"

Lin Jinghui clasped his fists and agreed: "I will arrange it immediately!"

In the next two days, many refugees from the refugee gathering place at the foot of Dingjun Mountain were continuously dispersed to other counties in Liangzhou for resettlement, and people from other refugee gathering places were also continuously dispersed to the resettlement places.

After Zhao Junsheng's order was conveyed to the Governor's Mansion in Nanzheng, Lu Shuang received the order and immediately ordered the defenders on the border to block the passage into Dagan territory. Once refugees are found to enter through various methods, they will all be intercepted. If you dare to step across the border, you will be killed.

Some daring refugees who tried to go to Qian country to ask for a living were killed after tentatively crossing the border. After killing hundreds of thousands of people, the refugees couldn’t get scared. Everyone knows that Qian country no longer allows refugees to enter , If you cross the border again, you will definitely die, and the refugees will not dare to move forward, but how can you survive if you don't go to the country?
