"Jing also has this meaning." Cheng Jing said, "Lord, please look here—"
Cheng Jing understood Huang Song's plan. It was not a good idea to stick to Zhonghe County. The greatest value of this place was food. Fifty percent of the grain is now harvested, enough for the army to chew on for the next few months. I am afraid that this battle will not last long, and there is no point in continuing to harvest the remaining autumn crops.
Huang Song planned to withdraw his troops and leave Zhonghe County, and it happened that Cheng Jing also had a good place here.
"Where?" Huang Song turned his eyes to the direction Cheng Jing pointed, "What is this place?"
Cheng Jing said, "The name here is Changye."
"Changye?" Huang Song said in surprise, "It sounds familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it."
Cheng Jing said, "Changye was once the area of Hu County during the Great Xia Dynasty. Later, strange phenomena occurred many times, causing the people here to migrate out one after another. Over time, there is no one here. The East Celebrated the founding of the country and re-divided the prefectures and counties. It's time to separate it from Hu County."
According to Cheng Jing, this place is a remote place that everyone can't avoid.
Huang Song thought about it for a long time and couldn't remember where he had heard of this place.
Cheng Jing said again, "My lord, but you forgot that Changye used to be the place where someone's bones were buried."
As he reminded him, Huang Song immediately remembered what was written in a certain miscellaneous anthology, that the first prime minister of the Great Xia Dynasty was buried here.
"What strange phenomenon happened in Changye?" Huang Song asked.
Cheng Jing said, "At the end of the Great Xia Dynasty, there was a very serious waterlogging in Changye. The heavy rain poured down for a full month, and the sky was full of thunder and lightning. When the waterlogging receded, the people found that the tombs near Changye had been dug up. After some investigation, I found out that it was a foreign thief who heard that a prime minister was sleeping here, and the thief suspected that the tomb was buried with valuables, so he went up to the mountain to dig a grave while the water was flooding."
Huang Song naturally knew who the Prime Minister was, and it was the controversial Prime Minister Huangfu.
Cheng Jing continued, "The thieves searched the tomb of the prime minister, but did not find any precious burials. The coffin in the center of the tomb was washed out by the heavy rain. After the thieves left, the coffin was found by a woodcutter. The woodcutter used a hatchet to cut the coffin into pieces. The firewood was carried back home, and the corpse was so slaughtered in the wilderness. Since then, thunderstorms have often occurred in Changye, and the people dared not go out at night. More than one person said that they can always see the outside of the town when they go out in thunderstorms. There are millions of army camps, not only ghost soldiers and ghost generals, but the tents are also burning with ghost fires."
The people were afraid of ghost soldiers harming others, so they moved out of Changye one after another.
Over time, Changye became a land without ghosts.
Huang Song said, "Isn't this a ghost story?"
He... is a little scared of ghosts...
Cheng Jing said, "It is indeed a story."
Whoever asked Huang Song to ask him where Changye was, Cheng Jing would just tell the story.
Huang Song: "..."
Scary in the daytime!
Huang Song took a closer look at the topography of Changye, and had to admit that Cheng Jing's choice was right.
but-
Huang Song laughed and said, "What if the ghost soldiers jumped out and stabbed me against Lanting?"
Cheng Jing glanced at his lord, as if looking at a staff. Is this what he should be concerned about now
Facts have proved that ghost stories are stories after all, and Changye will become deserted because a plague broke out here.
The source of the plague was that the flood washed a large number of floating corpses elsewhere to Changye, and the corpse water polluted the water source here, making the people sick.
Most of the people died of illness, and the remaining half moved away.
Huang Song and Cheng Jing reached a consensus, but they were strongly opposed by the others.
Yuanxin's eldest son Yuanquan is one of the most violent representatives of the opposition.
"My lord, why do you want to retreat to Changye? That place is too open, which is not conducive to our army's battle."
The original situation is that I really don't understand, what's wrong with staying in Tsukahe County, anyway, there is enough food. What did you go to Changye for? If there is no terrain to rely on, how to fight a war? Because Huang Song punished the original situation, the original situation is not as good as before, and his character is not delicate, but he is just a bird pushed by others, the purpose is to bear Huang Song's anger, and test Huang Song's tone by the way.
Huang Song glanced at the original situation, without words, but Cheng Jing explained patiently, I don't know whether to tell the original situation or explain to others.
Cheng Jing said, "Zhonghe County is not a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Liu Xi's troops are abundant. If we adopt a siege strategy and cut off our water and food, how should we respond? This is the first. Second, Liu Xi's troops are divided into two parts. Road, attacking from left and right, and dealing with them at the same time, it is still us who will lose out over time. Instead of getting deeper and deeper into this predicament, it is better to break free as soon as possible, put it to death, and then live.”
If Huang Song wanted to live in Zhonghe County, it would be more convenient to go back to Haozhou.
Huang Song's purpose was to confront the two armies and decide the outcome at one time. Changye was a good place for a battle.
We don't have many advantages we can take advantage of, and neither do our enemies.
In comparison, in the Changye battle, Jiang Pengji suffered even more.
Huang Song received autumn grain from Zhonghe County, so he was not burdened by the grain line, and Jiang Pengji had to devote extra effort to protect the grain line.
The original situation's character followed his late father Yuanxin, but he did not have the qualifications of Yuanxin, and he was not qualified to rely on the old to sell the old.
What Huang Song decides, as long as there is no problem with the general principle, he will not change it because of the opposition of others.
The original situation was dissatisfied in his heart, but he couldn't twist his arms around his thighs, so he could only forcibly hold back his anger.
Everyone saw Huang Song's determination and had to agree.
At this time, someone asked, "The autumn harvest is not over yet, what should I do with the grain in the fields?"
Keep it for the enemy to collect
Huang Song said indifferently, "Set fire, burn."
If you don't have it yourself, neither can anyone else.
That night, a fire broke out in Zuohe County, and the fire was ferocious and frightening.
Jiang Pengji was called out. She was wearing pajamas and a large cloak.
"Zukahe County is flooded? What's going on?"
She glanced in the direction of Tsukagawa County, and the flames filled the sky, dyeing the pitch-black sky red, the color between red and orange.
People don't know.
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "Could it be that Luo Yue and the others finally found a chance to burn Bo Gao's precious autumn food?"
In this regard, Luo Yue also expressed confusion.
This fire is so similar to the one in Sanshan Canyon, the flames seem to burn everything.
"Who set the fire?"
Luo Yue said that it wasn't him anyway.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the fire to attract the enemy's attention, Huang Song's army retreated safely.
But they didn't stay at ease for too long, Jiang Pengji reacted after half a day.
Jiang Pengji said in surprise, "Bogao withdrew his troops? But this direction doesn't seem to be retreating to Haozhou or Hejian County—"
Wei Ci said, "This direction... is Changye!"
Jiang Pengji looked in the direction Wei Ci pointed, and it was clear on the sand table.
She instantly understood what Huang Song meant.
"If that's the case, then it's as he wishes."
