Chapter 34: Plan "Deal" Zhu Chongjiu finally lost his cool and jumped from Shuai's case.
Time, what he lacks most now is actually time.
Tuotuo mobilized more than 300,000 troops near Huai'an City.
Dong Tuanxiao, with the help of Fang Guozhen, took the opportunity to attack Yangzhou.
Under this situation, every extra day he was delayed in Jiaozhou would make the situation in Huaiyang and other places more dangerous.
And if he could get rid of King Yi's purchase of slaves one day earlier, Tuotuo would have to divide his troops and return to Zhifan one day earlier.
When Xu Da is in Huai'an, the pressure he faces will be greatly reduced.
Whether it is finding a way to defeat the enemy or sending brothers to Yangzhou to help Wu Xiyu, he will be much more relaxed.
In other words, the key to the outcome of this battle was no longer on both sides of the Yellow River from the moment he boarded the ship.
Instead, they landed on Shandong Road and Yangzhou Road respectively.
If he can kill King Yi Mainu here first, the balance of victory and defeat will tilt greatly towards the Huai'an army.
And if Dong Juanxiao takes the lead, what awaits the Huai'an army will be an outcome ten times more dangerous than Li Zicheng's defeat at Shanhaiguan in another time and space.
"King Yi fought with your general Wang Xuan in Zhucheng a while ago, and it was difficult to determine the winner."
Seeing Zhu Chongjiu so happy, Yelu Zhao felt regretful.
However, if this plan succeeds, it will definitely not be the only one who benefits from the Huai'an army.
The Yelu family can also take advantage of the imperial court's overwhelming opportunity to quickly raise a flag of rebellion.
Therefore, after only a short moment of hesitation, Yelu Zhao made a decision neatly, "And the food and grass needed for his one hundred thousand army are all transported by Weishui.
At this moment, they are all stored in Xiangzhou, forty miles north of Zhucheng, from Shandong Xuanwei deputy envoy Shi Jianna guarded .
That Shakyana was neither brave nor wise, and the general manager took advantage of the fact that the news of Jiaozhou's fall had not yet spread, and sent a tiger general to lead an elite army to attack Xiangzhou as long as he could burn King Yi's army.
Within a few days, we will collapse without a fight.”
"Xiangzhou Jingchu, get the map."
When Zhu Chongjiu heard this, his mind was agitated again.
He waved his arm vigorously towards Chen Ji and shouted instructions.
"Yes" Chen Ji agreed straightforwardly, and together with his staff, they unfolded a map on the wall that had just been drawn by the Intelligence Department.
Then he picked up the pen and quickly marked the location where his lord needed it.
This place is called Xiangzhou, but it is actually just a very small military camp.
Because the surrounding terrain is flat and close to the Weishui River, making it convenient for ships to travel, it was chosen by King Yi as a place to store military supplies.
With the current combat effectiveness of the Huai'an Army, the chance of a successful sneak attack is quite high.
The only troublesome thing is that Xiangzhou Village is a little far away from Jiaozhou City.
Even if it is estimated from the map, it is more than 120 miles away.
If the slave buyer takes precautions in advance, the troops sent to attack will definitely come back defeated.
"Please let Mr.
Yelu know clearly how many Yuan troops there are in Xiangzhou Village."
After looking at the map for a few times, Zhu Chongjiu put away the joy on his face and asked in a deep voice.
"About fifteen thousand."
Since he had decided to show his goodwill to the Huai'an army at any cost, Yelu Zhao simply followed through and said, "But the actual number of soldiers among them is definitely less than three thousand, and the remaining more than ten thousand are recruited from various places.
The garrison troops who came here usually only do chores like pulling fiber and loading and unloading grain, and their strength is about the same as that of Minzhuang."
"So few."
Chen Ji couldn't believe what this person said and asked with a frown.
"Xiangzhou Village is the rear area.
Before last night, no one could have imagined that General Manager Zhu would personally lead the army from the sea to Jiaozhou."
Yelu Zhao glanced at him and explained unhappily, "However, this was seven days ago.
News.
At that time, Cao Min happened to go there and bought several ships of grain from Shakyana, so he took a look at the strength of his camp.
If Master Chen doesn't believe it, he can send scouts to check it carefully. " By the time the scouts were dispatched and they came back, the fighter plane would have been missed long ago.

After all, Chen Ji had been taken by Zhu Chongjiu and trained intensively for more than a year, so he still had this knowledge.
Hearing the thorn in Yelu Zhao's words, he didn't feel dissatisfied.
He smiled and continued to whisper, "No need, just estimate based on what Mr.
Yelu just said.
I would like to ask Mr.
Yelu Zhao how many enemy troops are currently in Xiangzhou Stronghold."
Since Mr.
Jun Liang can make a profit by buying grain from it, he must have some friendship with the person in charge of the granary and can get a rough idea of the figures. " "There are two months' worth of grain.
The area around Jinan and Yidu has been a grain-producing area since ancient times.
King Yi's slaves were as greedy as the people under his command.
In the name of war, he could use the name of war to transport a lot of summer grain that should have been shipped to Dadu.
If you hold back some, you won't be lenient."
Yelu Zhao frowned and responded thoughtfully.
The next moment, he suddenly widened his eyes, pointed at Chen Ji, and asked loudly, "You, do you want, do you want to snatch all the food and grass and make it your own?
You really have eaten the heart of a bear." courage" "Anyway, we have to send troops there.
Is there a big difference between burning and looting?"
Chen Ji smiled again, with a bit of pride on his face.
"But it's not about taking it as your own, but after you rob it, you can find a way to get it by sea."
Transported to Huai'an.
There are millions of victims in Huaiyang who are crying for food.
It would be a pity to burn so much food."
The grain and grass reserves for a hundred thousand troops, based on a minimum supply of two months, must be at least two hundred thousand dan.
If you can grab them all, it will definitely alleviate the current food shortage in the three places of Huaiyang.
However, burning it is one thing, but grabbing it is another.
For the purpose of burning food, after the sneak attack soldiers and horses are successful, they can immediately return to Jiaozhou.
If you want to seize it, you will have to withstand the enemy's desperate counterattack for at least the first three to five days.
Thinking of this, Yelu Zhao was even more surprised.
He quickly turned his attention to Zhu Chongjiu and loudly dissuaded him, "No, the general manager must not take such a risk.
King Yi has a hundred thousand troops under his command.
If he divides half of them to resist Wang Xuan, at least half of them can be sent back to capture Xiangzhou.
Once he takes over If we take back the military rations, the general manager will definitely lose all his previous achievements."
"There are 200,000 shi of grain."
Zhu Chongjiu looked like a money man with eagerness on his face, "Chen Canjun is right, it would be a pity to burn it.
Mr.
Yelu can make a profit by buying general grain from the enemy camp.
He must be very familiar with Sakyamuni."
I wonder if you can help me introduce him so that we can have a good relationship with him."
"I'm not familiar with him.
He is extremely greedy.
The common people gave him enough benefits to get some food at a low price."
Yelu Zhao heard this and immediately shook his head.
Immediately, his eyes widened again, "You, you have to go in person to attack Xiangzhou.
You are the general manager of the entire Huai'an Army."
"There is no way, I don't have many soldiers this time.
I can only fight with eagles and rabbits."

Zhu Chongjiu shook his head, full of confidence, "I have to trouble you, sir, to borrow a hundred sets of store clerk's clothes, and then take Zhu with me."
After the deal with Shakana is completed, no matter how many artillery pieces your Yelu family wants to buy, our Huaiyang Company will be open to supply
