"General, the subordinates dare to protect Xiang Gong's head, and there is no false statement. Everyone who came here saw this with their own eyes and knew it after asking." Lu Qian was startled and quickly argued that this person had a strong murderous intention.

"Okay, I will inquire from many sources. In the opinion of Lord Lu, how many soldiers are there in Fuzhou City now? How much food and grass?" Luo Jixing believed Lu Qian's words when he heard this, but he would like to find someone to confirm later.

Now that Fuzhou City is in the hands of the enemy, whether you want to take it back or station here, you have to find out the other party's strength and report it to the court yourself.

"As for the following officials, there should be more than 20,000 enemy troops in the city, and many of them were injured. As for food and grass, when the officials left, there should be few fires to burn the granary." Lu Qian estimated that this time, the loyal and brave army attacked the city, and there were also many casualties. Moreover, the soldiers guarding the city, except for those who were killed and injured in battle, were mostly brought out by them, and the other party could not get any supplements for the time being.

"If the opponent can fight 20,000 troops and our army has more than 50,000 troops, there is a chance of winning." Luo Jixing compared the strength of both sides. Even if the opponent is better equipped, his number is three times that of the opponent, and he can fight.

"If the general has enough food and supplies, one can attack one person and the other one cut off the other's supply line and trap them in the city." Lu Qian had already thought about it and just acted as if he had done everything. When the food and supplies in the city were exhausted, the other party would have to abandon the city and break through. By then, no matter how many enemy troops could be killed, the Fuzhou City would at least be back, and he would be considered a meritorious service.

"Where are the opponent's cavalry?" Luo Jixing shuddered when he thought of the opponent's thousands of cavalry. He also had more than 200 cavalry under his command and charged together, which was also a shocking momentum, not to mention that it was more than ten times larger.

"According to Xiaguan's news, most of them are in Minhou City, and a few are patrolling outside the city." Lu Qian also attached great importance to the news and knew a lot about the deployment of the loyal and brave army.

"Get the map!" Luo Jixing had a headache. He didn't know much about the terrain of Fuzhou. Fortunately, Lu Qian is here, but now his head is starting to make muddy, so it's clear to look at the map.

Minhou County is too close to Fuzhou City, and the opponent's cavalry arrived in an instant. Luo Jixing looked at the map and had a headache. If he wanted to attack Fuzhou City, he had to block more than 10,000 infantry between Fuzhou and Minhou County to prevent the opponent's cavalry from raiding. However, in this way, the advantage of his number of people under his command was no longer obvious.

"Mr. Lu, what if he crosses the river from Lianjiang County to Changle County, attacks the rear, cuts off the opponent's retreat, and forces the opponent to leave the city to fight with me on the south bank?" Luo Jixing felt that once his army detours to the south bank, the garrison troops left on the south bank would never be able to stop him. Seeing that the back road was missing, the opponent would never let him attack the city and plunder the land, and could only take the initiative to fight with him.

"If the other party attacks the food route with cavalry, what should the general?" Lu Qian suddenly felt that this person was a little unreliable. The logistics pressure of the 50,000 army was much greater than that of the other party, and it was transported all from the rear. If you dare to cross the river to Changle, the other party will definitely cut off your food route first. With the land of Changle, no matter how you plunder it, it will not be enough to support the 50,000 army.

"Is it possible that he can only fight Fuzhou?" Luo Jixing always felt that he should use some tricks and other things. Just use his life to force him to do it. Then he is too worthless to be a general. Will he be a farmer come here?

Is it the same?

"We must surround Fuzhou City as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to reach the sky when the other party has enough food and grass." As the chief of Fuzhou, Lu Qian naturally knew the defense of Fuzhou City. If it weren't for crossing the river and ruining most of the elite troops, the number of troops of the Loyal and Brave Army would definitely not be able to enter the city.

"That's right, our army pioneer will head to Lianjiang County to station and wait for the imperial court's orders." Luo Jixing nodded. Since there was no way, he could only force himself. The other party was huddled in Fuzhou City. I guess Lianjiang County was still under the rule of Nanyue, so I would take it first, so I could also send a letter of victory to the court to recover Lianjiang County.

The news that the Nanyue Pioneer entered Lianjiang County soon reached Sun Yu's ears. Although he stayed day and night, the food in the city was still tight. In order to defend, the defenders in the city gathered the food in the city, and burned all the fire when they left. Now the food in the city has become a problem.

"Mr. Marquis, I have really tried my best. The food is barely enough for half a month." Sun Sandao wiped the sweat from his forehead. Those who crossed mountains and rivers on the way had to go on water. The food transportation was really not fast.

"Continue transportation first. The scouts heard the news. The enemy stopped and would not launch an attack for a while." Sun Yu nodded. It was not easy for people to eat horses and chew so much.

"If you kill these days, you will be punished by God." Sun Sandao said angrily, otherwise his baggage regiment would be much easier with the reserves in the city.

"It's not all a bad thing. At least now in the city, my loyal and brave army has received rave reviews, and the people's hearts are available." Sun Yu remembered that when the loyal and brave army sold grain in the city at a affordable price yesterday, the people praised it.

When the Zhongyong Army first entered the city, the price of grain was already three taels of silver and one stone, and ordinary people could not afford it. I remember that at that time, a group of generals said that grain merchants were unwilling to be honest and not killing would not be enough to calm the anger of the public. However, Sun Yu directly refused. It is best to use business methods to solve the problem. There is no need to fight and kill. If a batch of grain is placed, the price of grain will fall rapidly. As for purchasing the affordable grain of Zhongyong Army and continuing to hoard, it is really not so bold.

"Dad, I'm going to join the army." A young man said in a muffled voice in the small yard west of Fuzhou.

The Zhongyong Army suffered serious damage in combat and urgently needed additional troops. Now that we have obtained Fuzhou, the scale of the Zhongyong Army can be further expanded. Sun Yu plans to entrust 10,000 troops in each regiment and reach 70,000 soldiers under his command.

The original rule was to separate the training and command of the troops. Now it is a special period, and Sun Yu doesn't care about so much. He first recruits people as much as possible, and then goes to the recruit camp to practice, which will be disrupted and distributed to each regiment.

"What kind of soldiers are you fighting and killing? Although this business belongs to your elder brother in the future, my father has also found you an errand. The blacksmith shop at the entrance of the alley has agreed to be an apprentice next month." Lao Ye was an old man in Fuzhou City. When he was still in the Fujian Kingdom, he sold tofu in the city. Everyone knew the neighbors of the neighbors.

Lao Ye has two sons, and the eldest son is already married, so the tofu workshop must be handed over to the eldest son to inherit. The younger son can only go out to find something else to do. Fortunately, this kid is very powerful and a good seedling for blacksmith, so Blacksmith Cui is also attracted by it.

"I don't want to go, I don't even have a salary. I get up early and work late every day, and I'm so tired. What's the point?" Ye Erlang didn't want to go. He is a student these days

All disciples have to work for two years in vain. If a person makes a mistake, he will be beaten by his master.

"Why can't you understand? When you learn the skills of ironwork and travel all over the world, you are still worried about not having enough food?" Old Ye looked disappointed. If Ye Erlang had not been in good health, he had a two-point friendship with Blacksmith Cui, it would be difficult to get in.

"I went to the craftsman camp under the Zhongyong Army to learn ironwork. The apprentice also had eight cents of silver a month, and I didn't have to bring my clothes and bedding." Ye Erlang had traveled to the recruiting place these days, and he had no time to learn a lot about the Zhongyong Army, but of course it was not a secret.

"Fuck, how can you do this kind of good thing? You may have been cheated and you have to help others count money. The bridge I have crossed has more ways than you, so just listen to me, go to Cui Blacksmith, be an apprentice, and get a master in three years." Lao Ye felt that this was lifelong and he could not be subject to the child's temperament.

"As an apprentice for three years, I'm twenty-one and don't have a penny of money. What should I do to get my wife?" Ye Erlang had his own plans. The eldest brother spent all his money on getting married and owed some foreign debts.

Now the workshop has been given to the elder brother. It would be great to earn some money in addition to supporting the family. If you have one or two children and you are still nervous about food and use, who can take care of his lifelong affairs?

"Erlang, why worry about having no wife for a real man? It's just two years in the evening." When it comes to this, Lao Ye was not confident and really had no money.

"How many years can I save? Twenty-five or thirty? Dad, I can't wait for that long, I'm going to join the army." Ye Erlang didn't care. Since you can't control my lifelong affairs, it can't hinder him from fighting.

"Why are you not enlightened? I don't agree, I don't want the white-haired man to send the black-haired man." Old Ye disagreed. That day, he saw through the crack in the door. There were many people dead outside. It was too common for people to die in the army and fight.

"Dad, I've calculated that even if I can't make a contribution, I can earn 18 taels of silver a year. Three years are more than fifty taels, which is enough for me to buy a house. Although it's not big, I can live in peace. At that time, I just want to make a living, even if I'm guarding the house, I can always get a wife to live a safe life." Ye Erlang had a long plan for his life. When he was young, he went out to work hard. Even if he couldn't make a name for himself, he could earn some money and live a quiet life.

"Anyway, I just don't agree, and your mother doesn't agree." Lao Ye was a little moved. Although it was a little dangerous, if he survived, he would have a good life. But he could never let go of this. If there was a way out, how many people would be willing to send their son to the battlefield.

"Dad, you don't need to agree to this matter. People recruit soldiers. You must voluntarily join the army, and you only need to voluntarily. As long as I want to go, no one can stop me. Dad, look, this is my admission document, the seal of the loyal and brave army, and no one can stop me." Ye Erlang took out the paper in his arms and shook it in front of Lao Ye.

Lao Ye snatched it and opened it and found that it was indeed the document of the Zhongyong Army. The seal on it was exactly the same as the notice at the entrance of the alley.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Ye Dalang heard the argument outside and went out to see the situation.
