Zhao Junsheng was not in a hurry, he ordered extra meals for the soldiers to recharge their energy and prepare for the next battle, and on the other hand asked the craftsmen to build a large number of siege equipment.

At the same time, he also ordered the surrendered soldiers to concentrate on drills. Nearly 4000 surrendered soldiers were killed and received along the way. Zhao Junsheng ordered Li Bao to send the generals to practice these surrendered troops in preparation for the next siege. Such good cannon fodder is not in vain.

On this day, Lin Jinghui, the commander of the black guards, came to report the military situation.

"Your Majesty, I have received some news!"

Zhao Junsheng raised his head and took his eyes off the map, "Say!"

"Yes! First, Shen Li and Berkshire each have a troop that received an order from Chengdu Mansion to withdraw their troops and come to Chengdu Mansion for reinforcements when they were suppressing the refugee rebellion. Among them, 5000 troops came from Shen Li's direction. ; There are 6000 troops coming from the direction of Berkshire. They all started their journey yesterday, and they are about the same distance from Chengdu!

The second news is that news came from the Jiankang Black Clothes Guard branch that the news of the Bashu locust plague had reached Jiankang more than a month ago. The situation was not serious at that time, and the Liu Song court did not pay much attention to it. But half a month later, the news sent to Jiankang made the Liu Song court feel that the situation was serious, so it began to prepare for disaster relief, and issued a decree to mobilize food from various places to be transported to Bashu by water, but the news of the rebellion of Bashu refugees spread to Jiankang. The court of the Liu Song Dynasty had quarreled for several days before they came to a decision. They decided to carry out disaster relief and quell the chaos at the same time. Jiankang is currently gathering soldiers and horses, with a force of about [-]. It will take about ten days before the supplies and ships are ready. They will arrive here It still takes a month! "

It has been more than a month since the locust plague occurred, and Jiankang has not officially responded until now. In Zhao Junsheng's view, this is already extremely inefficient, but for this era, it is already very efficient.

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a while, and ordered Lin Jinghui to "pay close attention to the movements of the two Liu Song armies who came to reinforce them, and at the same time report the situation in Jiankang every two days. Once the [-] Liu Song armies entering Sichuan leave, come quickly Report!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Lin Jinghui left, Zhao Junsheng sent someone to find Li Bao, and asked him to send elite Dragon Guard scouts to investigate the specific location, marching speed, and types of troops of the two Liu Song armies coming from Shenli and Berkshire respectively. Who are the equipment, weapons, morale, and leading generals.

How to deal with these two Liu Song troops who came to reinforce?There are more than 1 people in the two armies!

Zhao Junsheng sent people to gather the accompanying ministers and ministers to discuss countermeasures, and fully let these people use their brains, so that they have to do some work to make them full.

Dongfang Chen stood up and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, under the current situation, I think that instead of concentrating our forces to defeat the two Liu Song armies, it is better to wait for them to arrive in Chengdu and then wipe them out in one battle. It can be done once and for all!"

Zhao Junsheng touched his forehead, "Tell me your reason!"

"No!" Dongfang Chen agreed, walked to the map next to him and said, "Your Majesty, our army doesn't have many infantry now, and we are at an absolute disadvantage if we use infantry to fight infantry. As for those surrendered troops, they can only be used to attack the city and consume the defenders at most." The strength of the army, if you want to face Liu Song's army head-on, the thousands of descendants will not be able to help, but will cause problems at critical moments!

If we want to concentrate our forces to attack the two Liu Song armies separately, it is impossible to do so under the current conditions. Because of the terrain and roads, the cavalry will not only be of no help, but will become a burden, close to the infantry. , Insufficient in strength.

Therefore, I believe that our army must make use of its strengths and avoid its weaknesses, and take advantage of the open terrain of the platforms around Chengdu Mansion, and then use the sharp attack of our army's cavalry, and wait for the two Liu Song armies to converge under the city of Chengdu to solve it in one fell swoop!We are waiting for work at ease, while the opponent is long-distance reinforcements, and the soldiers are exhausted. Our army's chances of winning are much greater! "

Zhao Junsheng stroked his chin and pondered for a long time, but finally he had to admit that Dongfang Chen's idea was the most practical and highly operable.

"Li Bao, increase the number of secret sentries, strengthen the information blockade, and prevent the news of our army from reaching the ears of the two generals of the Liu Song Army who came for reinforcements from now on!"

Chapter 982

On the official road leading to Chengdu in Qianwei County and Wuyang County, a Liu Song army is marching slowly.

The weather was hot, the soldiers of Liu Song Army were sweating profusely, and the birds kept singing, which made the soldiers of Liu Song Army who were marching even more irritable.

Many people scolded as they walked, "March in this weather, let people live? None of those officials is a good thing, you don't treat me like a human being!"

Cursing is cursing, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, but no one dares to disobey the order to stop advancing, but all the soldiers are reluctant to march in such a hot temperature. Got too fast and died of heatstroke on the road.

Jiang Bin, who joined the army, raised his arm and wiped the sweat from his temples. He turned his head and looked at the soldiers behind him. Seeing them walking feebly, with no morale, he speeded up and caught up with the leading general, Li Dan. He clasped his fists and said, "General, Brothers have lost a lot of strength. Now the sun is high and it is too hot. If we continue to walk, I am afraid that many people will suffer from heat stroke and the strength of the army will drop sharply. The subordinates suggest that the soldiers should rest in the shade for an hour before going on the road. !"

Hearing this, Li Dan turned his head to look at the terrain on the left and right sides, and said, "Okay, pass on the order, go three miles ahead and rest for an hour!"

"Yes!"

After the order was conveyed, the soldiers of Liu Song Army obviously sped up their speed, and all of them were tired and sweaty before they walked outside a forest and stopped advancing, and went into the woods to rest.

The soldiers of the Liu Song Army who had been walking for a long time were exhausted. Most of them drank some water and fell asleep leaning on the tree trunk in the woods.

Jiang Bin, who joined the army, walked up to Li Dan and said, "General, you should also sleep for a while, and the subordinates are on duty!"

Li Dan opened the water bag and took a sip of water, then asked, "Jiang Bin, since we received the reinforcement order from the Chengdu government, have we received any news from Chengdu?"

Jiang Bin shook his head, "It's been four days and I haven't received any news! General, I think this is normal. Since there have been cavalry cavalry outside Chengdu, they will definitely block the news of Chengdu. The city has been besieged by the dry army!"

Li Dan thought for a while and said, "It seems that we still have to send someone to Chengdu City to investigate. If we don't know anything about Chengdu City at this time, we might be tricked by the army. Let's be more cautious." Well, what do you think?"

Jiang Bin quickly cupped his fists and said, "What the general said is true, this subordinate will send a scout team to Chengdu to find out the news!"

"Wait!" Li Dan stopped Jiang Bin again, "Send someone to contact the Datan Army from Berkshire to see where they are now!"

Dao Tan is the grandson of Dao Yanzhi, and his father is Dao Zhongdu.There are many brothers in Daojia, who are scattered all over the country as officials.

"Yes, General!"

Li Dan marched for another two days with his soldiers and horses, and the scouts sent to investigate the news of Chengdu City finally got news.

"General Qi, the Qian army has set up a camp in the southeast of Chengdu City. The scale is huge, and the exact strength is not clear, but it will never be less than 1. If our army wants to enter the city, it will be very difficult. After passing through the Qian army camp When we are near the stronghold, the flanks of our army will definitely be attacked by them. Even if the friendly troops in the city go out of the city to respond, it will not help!

In addition, our army's scouts have already contacted General Tantan. According to the current marching speed, if there is no accident in the middle, the Tantan army and our army should arrive outside Chengdu at the same time! "

Li Dan frowned after hearing the report, and asked, "Can't we find out the specific number of troops and the composition of the army?"

Jiang Bin shook his head and said, "We can't detect it. The scouts of the Gan army are too smart and vigilant. Once our scouts get close, they will be discovered. So far, we have lost six people. If we continue to send people to investigate, we will only kill a few more people." !"

Li Dan thought for a while, and then ordered to Jiang Bin, "Send the order, the whole army turns to march eastward, and get closer to the Tatan army!"

Jiang Bin was surprised when he heard the words, "Does the general want to join forces with the Tan army? Increase our strength one by one to prevent being defeated by the dry army one by one?"

Li Dan nodded, "That's right! The first news we heard was that 1 Cavalry cavalry had arrived outside Chengdu. Both the Tan Army and the Gan Army have an absolute advantage, if our two armies do not join forces at this time, once the Qian Army seizes the opportunity, I am afraid that the reinforcements will fail and the Gan Army will be sent food instead!"

"Yes, this subordinate is going to deliver the order!"

Outside the city of Chengdu, the Ganjun camp.

The camp was originally set up in the north of the city. Later, when Zhao Junsheng learned that there were two armies coming towards Chengdu from the south and southeast respectively, he ordered another camp to be set up in the southeast direction outside the city, and went to Tan and Li Dan. If soldiers and horses want to rescue Chengdu City, they must defeat him, otherwise they will not be able to enter the city at all.

At this time, Zhao Junsheng was in the camp a few miles southeast of the city.

"Report—" A scout and detective cavalry sounded outside the handsome tent.

Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but looked up, and a scout quickly came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the sentry sentry is here to report that Liu Songjun's Li Danbu and Datanbu are approaching, and they probably want to join forces. The location should be near the Spirit Pool fifty miles away!"

Hearing this, Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look at the topographic map hanging beside him, thought for a while and ordered, "Explore again!"

"promise!"

Zhao Junsheng walked back and forth in front of the map with his arms folded, thinking, his eyes kept scanning back and forth on the map.

After a long time, he stopped and asked, "Yang Lie, how do you think our army should fight this battle?"

Yang Lie pondered for a while and cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation of the enemy and ourselves, the two troops of Liu Song's army are moving closer together. This is exactly what our army expects. Our army should give full play to the use of cavalry in the plains." The advantage! I suggest sending a partial division to bypass Longquan Mountain and go back to the enemy's rear, and wait for Liu Song's army to cross Longquan Mountain to block their retreat!

Then, our army used infantry to contain Liu Song's defenders in the capital city, and our cavalry attacked from the front again, crushing Liu Song's army in one fell swoop! "
