Chapter 136 Volume 2 Build walls high and store grain widely
When Ma Ye and others were quietly lurking near the battlefield, they were stunned by what they saw.
I was really stunned.
When they arrived, Helu's men had just joined the battle.
Ma Ye originally thought that no matter what these hundreds of people said, they could create some pressure on Lou Ning. However, in fact, as soon as these hundreds of people came up, they were defeated by Lou Ning.
That's really a disability.
The combat power of both sides is not at the same level at all.
It feels to Ma Ye like he is bullying a group of children.
Although there were seven or eight hundred of them, Lou Ning assigned half of his men to deal with them, and they actually had the upper hand.
However, their arrival has relieved a lot of pressure on Shusun Changpu and others, otherwise Shusun's tribe would have been wiped out long ago.
"At this time, Shusun Changpu should lead his people and run away." said a Pu clan member.
Ma Ye shook his head: "It's difficult. Lou Ning would rather fight more with less than give them a chance to escape. If those guys put more pressure on Lou Ning, there is still hope. Right now, the chance is too slim.
"
In fact, it was indeed the case. Shusun Changpu was already covered in blood. When he saw He Lu and his people coming, he didn't think about taking the opportunity to run away, but the He family was too useless.
A hundred people were suppressed and beaten by less than five hundred. If they really dared to run away, Lou Ning would definitely chase them down.
However, this may be the case for the tribes in Chishuiyuan now. They haven't had a war for many years, and everyone's combat effectiveness has long been reduced to what it used to be.
This is also the reason why in the original history, in the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Er was able to destroy his country in one battle.
Although the world is safe, if you forget to fight, you will be in danger. There is nothing wrong with this statement.
This fight lasted a day, and even though everyone was exhausted, no one flinched.
What puzzles Lou Ning the most is that even the He clan has been beaten into such a bad behavior, yet they still refuse to take a step back.
Of course, both of them were actually very restrained and did not kill as brutally as the Shusun tribe.
At the same time, Riyue Mountain.
Li Chengqian also learned about what happened to Shusun's tribe.
The children from the Shusun tribe have now arrived at Riyue Mountain safely.
After a busy day, Li Chengqian had to find Ihara Xi and others again for this purpose.
In fact, even if Li Chengqian didn't send someone to call them, they would still be coming. After all, among the scouts who came back, there were people from the three tribes. By now, everyone knew the situation.
"Lou Ning is so cruel. In just a few days, more than a dozen tribes have ceased to exist. He is just a butcher!" Yi Yuanxi said with a scared look on his face as soon as he entered Li Chengqian's tent.
If Li Chengqian hadn't brought his people to the rescue in time, they would have become lonely ghosts on the Chishui River.
"What do you guys mean? Do you want to rescue the Shusun Department?" Li Chengqian looked at the group of people with some surprise.
Logically speaking, these guys are not so noble.
"It's not impossible to go to the rescue," Puxiruo said. "I heard from people who came back that people on the Chishui River are in panic now. If we take people to rescue at this time, we can pull up a force to resist Lou Ning.
Such atrocities, I think it can still attract a lot of people."
In fact, they didn't really want to rescue the Shusun tribe. The main reason was to check and balance Li Chengqian. After all, Li Chengqian was backed by the Tang Dynasty. Even if they ended up following Murong Shun's old path, they still hoped that they would be more confident.
However, Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "We are the only people in Riyue Mountain now. We can hide our whereabouts in a short period of time, but once more people are admitted, who of you can guarantee that no one here will defect secretly?"
Murong Shun and Lou Ning? Once our hiding place is exposed, with our current strength, you will have only one way to go."
Li Chengqian didn't explain this path clearly, but everyone here is smart, so who could not understand?
"But it's better than sitting back and waiting for death like this, right?" Ihara Sai said.
Li Chengqian said: "That's not to say. All we can do now is build a high wall and store up food. If you believe me, then please rest assured that when it is really necessary, I will lead you to a way to survive."
"What is the last resort?" Yiharafeng asked.
He actually didn't care. His tribe was the weakest in the entire Riyue Mountain, and he had promised to work hard for Li Chengqian in the future. Strictly speaking, he was now Li Chengqian's man.
"When things cannot be done, it is a last resort." Li Chengqian said, "At that time, I will show you a clear path."
But Yi Yuanxi asked: "I wonder what the young master wants to do?"
"What do you want to do? Now it's just a joke." Li Chengqian said, "Let's see, now, what we have to do is to strengthen our own strength."
Seeing that Li Chengqian refused to let go, everyone did not try to persuade him. After all, they felt that it was not reliable to ask them to lead people to confront Lou Ning right now.
How many people are there in their family, and how many people are they?
"By the way, do you know which tribes have taken refuge with King Daning?" Li Chengqian asked.
Speaking of this, Yiharafeng said: "If you don't know anything about this, you will know it after a little inquiry."
Nodding, Li Chengqian said: "Okay, then our goal will be on these tribes. First, we can plunder food, and secondly, we can maintain our combat effectiveness.
An army far away from the battlefield, no matter how elite it looks, is just a paper tiger.
Besides, we currently lack a large amount of labor force. If possible, it would be good to capture some of them and bring them back to help us build the city wall.
It can also weaken King Daning's strength and disrupt Lou Ning's plan.
This is what we should do.”
Everyone had no objection to Li Chengqian's idea.
In fact, they are indeed short of people. Now, even the warriors of their various tribes have invested in the wave of construction. It would be good if they could have more prisoners to work.
Besides, they were all Murong Shun's thugs, so there really wasn't anything they wouldn't do.
After several people left, Li Chengqian called Zhao Yan in.
He actually couldn't understand Lou Ning's approach of almost massacring the city.
Murong Shun's purpose was to integrate the tribes in Chishuiyuan, but what Lou Ning did was completely different.
If they were all slaughtered, Murong Shun would still be in trouble.
Zhao Yan also frowned and said, "I really can't understand it, but there must be something going on here that we don't know about."
"I also understand that something must have happened that we don't know about, but we don't know exactly what happened. In the final analysis, our intelligence system is too lagging behind. We rely on Ma Ye and others to snoop for some information in Chishuiyuan.
It's really better than nothing." Li Chengqian was also helpless, he really couldn't spare too many manpower to do this now.
As a person of later generations, it is impossible for him not to know the importance of intelligence, but so what if he knew it, he would not be able to build a perfect intelligence system in a short time.
At this moment, Li Qinjian walked in. Seeing the distress on Li Chengqian's face, he asked a few questions.
After learning the reason, Li Qinjian smiled and said: "Young master is a fan of the authorities. Why do you have to rely on scouts to get information?"
"Huh?" Li Chengqian was confused at first, but when he thought about Li Qinjian's identity, he understood and immediately said, "Nowadays, we don't have enough people to form a caravan."
How could he not know that a caravan can also achieve such a goal, but now he only has these people at his disposal. A caravan that can travel in the Chishui source will need dozens of people at least. If he really wants to form such a caravan,
Caravan, the strength of his men will be greatly damaged again.
He didn't want to do it if he ignored his buttocks.
In the end, you still have to endure it, at least you have to survive this period of time.
"Stop talking about this, have the children from the Shusun Department who just arrived today been settled?" Li Chengqian no longer worried about this problem, and first solved the problem at hand.
Li Qinjian said: "They are all settled. The older ones, I asked them to follow Zhao Yan and others. The younger ones were all placed in the school and went to school with other children."
It is said to be a school, but in fact it is just a few larger accounting rooms. Ihara Seki took care of this matter in the morning.
"However, the heating problem has still not been solved. Although the young master has brought back a lot of firewood this time, I have taken a look and I am afraid it will not be easy to survive this winter."
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this. I will solve it tomorrow. Have you finished what I asked Ihara Feng and the others to do before?"
"It's all done. It's all done according to the master's drawings. It can all be moved over in the next two days." Li Qinjian said.
Li Chengqian said: "This is just an emergency measure. If we really want to solve the problem in the long term, we still have to build a house. Let's do this first, get through this winter, and then take our time.
You have worked hard these days, go and rest early, you will be busy tomorrow."
"Then young master, please rest early."
After Li Qinjian left, Li Chengqian said to Zhao Yan: "Tomorrow, arrange for someone to send Niu Jinda the war horses. Send a few smarter people there, and ask Niu Jinda who attacked us before.
Who is the dead man?"
Although they had captured a man alive before, Liu San tried his best along the way and could not get any useful information from him.
Although these guys are not very strong, the people behind the scenes are still good at training them.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Liu San was killed before he reached Riyue Mountain.
But for Li Chengqian, he had no intention of exposing this matter. He sent dead soldiers here. No matter who this person was, he was already fighting to the death.
"By the way, I have a few more drawings here. You can give them to Zhang Erniu and let him build them based on the drawings." With that said, Li Chengqian handed a few more drawings to Zhao Yan.
The pictures above were all tables, chairs and benches. He was really tired of sitting on the floor. Zhang Erniu had nothing to do now, so it was better to find something for him to do.
As for Shusunbu, haha, let alone his current lack of strength, even if he had the strength, he would not save him.
If these people are not dead, how can those children from Shusun's tribe have a bloody feud with Lou Ning's people? How can he take these people for his own use?
Therefore, no matter which way you look at it, he will not save Shusunbu.
