Chapter 484 Linghu Zhishu Becomes Honest
Linghu Zhishu stood on a high place, and the ant-like crowd in the distance was busy.
We worked hard for several months and made all preparations, but in the end we were busy and lonely.
No, it’s not a busy time.
Because of those preparations, they will actually come in handy next time.
Just like now, wouldn't these gathered young men come in handy?
Boling County is undergoing extensive excavation and construction. Not only what you see in front of you, but also in the area that is more than a hundred miles long and dozens of miles deep facing the outside of the pass. Linghu Zhishu is there. Do these things.
This is why Linghu Zhishu accumulated a lot of contacts and gained a lot of prestige when he was the county guard here a few years ago, so he was able to carry out large-scale construction projects so smoothly. If it were replaced by another person, it would only Afraid that the common people will complain.
If different people do the same thing, the results will be completely different.
Linghu Zhishu told the Boling people that if you do not prepare for defense now, when the enemies outside the pass come, then everything you have now will be in vain.
This made the Boling people panic.
They are very close to Yangguan, and they also have a certain understanding of the situation outside the pass.
Under the deliberate propaganda sent by Linghu Zhishu, the current army outside the Pass is a hodgepodge in the minds of Boling people. It is a group of horse bandits, a group of Yuan people, and a group of barbarians led by a horse bandit leader. It was formed instead of the past Qin State's northern frontier army.
Whether they are horse bandits, Yuan people or barbarians from further north, in the hearts of Boling people, they are all barbarians who do all kinds of evil.
As for the hussar general with a good reputation, it turned out to be very good. When the news came out that she was a woman, everyone admired her, but then they heard that she was married to that The leader of the horse bandits even gave up the position of Protector to that person, which made everyone even more panicked.
Because Xiao Changche is really good at fighting!
Imagine that such a prestigious person commanded a group of evil-doing guys to kill you in your own home. Can you not be afraid?
So after Linghu Zhishu gave the order, everyone was excited, and immediately started a large-scale enthusiasm for building defensive positions.
The vast, flat plain of Boling is now riddled with holes.
Linghu Zhishu asked everyone to dig countless weirs and ponds, and then planted rows of trees everywhere that were easy to survive and grew very fast. Beacons were built every ten miles or so. Fortresses and villages where a large number of people gathered began to ram earth into walls and build arrow towers and other facilities.
All of these are basically for defense against cavalry.
In the past, Xiao Changche relied on thousands of cavalry to conquer the world. The cavalry under Li Dachui was also extremely elite. Now they have conquered the Yuan Kingdom and surrendered the barbarians, and these two races have also It is mainly cavalry.
Even if the Linghu clan’s cavalry is not bad, Zhishu Linghu also knows that if the two sides face off, the Linghu clan’s cavalry will have no other choice but to lose.
The one who can compete with the opponent is the trump card in his uncle's hands, but for such an elite cavalry, his uncle only has five or six thousand men.
It is absolutely impossible for the tens of thousands of troops he has in Boling County to fight in the field with the opponent.
Defense becomes inevitable.
Don’t underestimate these weirs and ponds, they are some beneficial and cost-effective means. After digging it out, fill it with water, throw some fry into it, and don't care about them, just let them fend for themselves.
If the enemy doesn't come, these fish will grow up, and the people will have some income. If it really comes, these weirs and ponds scattered everywhere will make it impossible for the enemy's cavalry to charge forward, and they will not be able to take advantage of their charge.
Including those trees planted in patches, the same is true.
The best way to deal with the cavalry is to first reduce their speed. Without the speed, the cavalry will not have much advantage when facing the defending side. On the contrary, it will be more vulnerable because the target is larger. Linghuye is really melancholy now.
I originally thought that this time I could give a severe blow to the arrogance of the Beiting Protectorate, but I did not expect that my allies were so weak. They were destroyed without even a chance to take action.
But it’s scary to think about it!
Who would have thought that Li Dachui could actually collude with the barbarians? The eagle thief was actually the foreshadowing laid by him. How dare Sullivan surrender to the country through treason?
This is like Li Dachui dug a huge trap, but a large group of people jumped in complacently, and did not react until they were about to die.
Tie Le burned himself to death, and Linghu Zhishu felt as if a rabbit had died and a fox had died.
That is an amazing person!
He died so cowardly in the end.
Linghu Zhishu didn’t want to end up like this.
The mission given to him by his uncle is very clear, which is to do everything possible to delay the entry of the Beiting Protectorate.
Linghuye has cut off all the forces and forces around Chang'an that can support Chang'an, and the general attack on Chang'an is about to begin.
With the capture of Chang'an, the Linghu Group will completely control the Central Plains region, and then use this as a basis to eliminate the surrounding opposition forces one by one. This path was also used when the Li family replaced the Yong Dynasty. The path traveled.
It is also the simplest and most direct way that everyone thinks.
The only difference from that time is that when the Li family defeated Dayong, the world outside the pass still belonged to the nomadic tribes and was in a state of chaos. Although they often invaded the border and the people worked hard, those tribes robbed them. Just leave, not much of a threat.
But now, an unprecedentedly powerful group has formed outside the pass. The strength of this group is no worse than that of the Linghu Group.
And they have already reached into the pass.
Shu County has been taken into their hands.
Li Dachui in Jiangnan must have buried his chess pieces. If Zhishu Linghu guessed correctly, they should be in places like Ying County and Ning County. It sounds like these places are controlled by the Demon Cult and the Cao Gang, but when you think about Li Dachui's identity, everything seems so reasonable.
He Zudao has a high self-esteem and thinks that he can seek skin from a tiger and have both sides, but in the end he will be eaten away by Li Dachui.
Now Linghu Zhishu has no idea of competing with Li Dachui.
Because the gap between the two sides is too far.
Only opponents with similar levels will arouse the interest in competing. If the gap is too big, if you still want to compete hard, you will be humiliating yourself.
So now Linghu Zhishu is very honest and down-to-earth in building a defensive position in Boling County. The defensive position is more than a hundred miles long and fifty miles deep, covering almost the entire Boling County.
I don’t seek to defeat you, I just want to hold you back.
As long as my uncle quickly captures Chang'an and then either convinces or defeats He Zudao, then outside the pass will not be so scary. With the Central Plains and Jiangnan in hand, the Linghu Group will have the confidence to have a long confrontation with Li Dachui. In terms of resources, those outside the Guan can never compare with those inside the Guan.
Fight until the end, it's a matter of who can endure it better!
