Chapter 504: The winners and losses are all at Xiaoxiang College

The continuous stream of grain was transported into several newly built warehouses in Nanpingchang through grain trucks. On a hill, Leng Zhuo looked at the wheels of the wheels and looked at them without saying a word.

It was originally an orderly situation, but because the news was all messed up, Leng Zhuo could only smile bitterly at this. Everything was already natural. As long as you wait for the first half month, everything would be settled and you would take the most important step. However, before this step was completed, a quagmire of abyss appeared in front of you.

"Young Master? Are you okay!"

Leng Zhuo stood for a long time, then let out a light breath and said, "It is said that planning is about people and accomplishing things. Today, I have a deep understanding. If God really can't get along with you, you will be really sad!" Leng Zhuo said, turning his head: "Let's go, maybe we have to think about the aftermath!"

On a tower in Nanpingcang, Leng Zhuo's counselors were present. Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Liu Bowen, Kong Mingchen and Xuan Chen sat around. The news has not spread yet. However, since Leng Zhuo got the news, it is obviously no secret to the Jingnan Marquis Mansion.

"It seems that our plan is going to fail. In one day, the defense line of the Chengyang County was broken, and the Third Division of the Panshi Legion was almost collapsed. The anti-army took advantage of the victory to pursue and detoured the rear of the Emperor's ***. One day, the Zhuque Second, the Third Division was defeated, the Panshi Second Division was defeated, and the Fifth Division of the Crazy Python was defeated. It can be foreseen that within two or three days, the Chengyang County would be lost, and Donghu County would probably not be able to save it. Even the Yu County line was retreating due to the flanks!"

"In one day the war on the northern front changed dramatically. The Emperor was defeated on the entire line, losing tens of thousands of troops and countless supplies and food. It can be said to be a great defeat!" Leng Zhuo's voice was a little heavy. Are the three major legions of Chuzhou really just paper tigers, and they are so vulnerable.

Even if it is a paper tiger, can't it be delayed for half a month or a month, then the game played by Leng Zhuo will end with a complete victory. The forces led by the Huang family will definitely be severely damaged, and he can also hold his current position and form a logistics camp of more than 200,000 troops of the governor, and use this to expand his power.

But now everything is gone, and Leng Zhuo cannot afford to pay the money, but he has spent so much effort, but when he is about to succeed, he has failed. Leng Zhuo is already very calm when he is not angry.

"The news of the defeat on the northern line is still hidden for the time being, but I guess this news will be spread everywhere soon. The defense line on the East Lake line was broken through. Everyone knows what it means. Not only did they lose tens of thousands of soldiers and two counties, but the war was once again expanded infinitely. With this defeat, it is still unknown whether the Emperor*** can quell the rebellion in Xiangyang!"

"The most important thing is the impact of this incident on us. It seems that we have lost in this duel!" Although Leng Zhuo was reluctant to admit it, he had to admit that he had lost. It was not the Huang family who lost it, but God.

Everyone was also silent. At that time, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were not optimistic about the empire's counterattack, and Leng Zhuo didn't accept it very much. After all, these three legions were also regular troops of the empire. Facing the Xiangyang anti-Wang Army, which was completely pulled out by the energetic men, could it be impossible to defeat it?

Even with Li Tang behind the scenes, Li Tang now has to face the battlefields of all directions and has limited support for Xiangyang. However, even though he has taken advantage of the situation, he still has such a crushing defeat. Leng Zhuo really doesn't know what to say.

"When the Huang family knows about this, they will definitely not wait to die. The food price has been pulled below three silver coins by us these days. Especially in recent days, as new grains are on the market one after another, we are still selling them at low prices. Now there is basically no one on the market to grab food, and the forces led by the Huang family have been forced into a desperate situation by us!"

"If the news of the defeat in the front is almost certain, the rebound of grain prices is almost certain. If we continue to sell grain at low prices, we will only lose more and more. Even those acquisitions that have reached an agreement with us may also cause changes!"

Kong Mingchen has been tanned a lot these days. After all, he has been working around to win over local tyrants and landlords. Of course, Kong Mingchen is also prepared to say this, so that Leng Zhuo will make a decision as soon as possible.

"If we interrupt the plan now, our losses will be considerable. What's going to do with the Jiang family? What's more, this matter itself is no longer a matter of food and gold and silver?" Liu Bowen frowned slightly. As the chief manager of several granaries, he was also responsible for the leader of this grain battle, but he knew how much Leng Zhuo had invested this time.

"Yes, we have put in so much effort to interrupt at this critical moment. It's a pity. And it's very likely that the people in the Huang family will be even more arrogant because of the current situation. The Marquis' plan to show his grand plans is completely lost!" Xuan Chen also made great efforts to the situation in Chuzhou.

The Leng family could afford the loss of gold and silver this time. Not to mention that the gold and silver transported from Cangshan County was as much as 20 to 30 million, the Leng family collected no less than tens of thousands of taxes per day. In addition to the Ping An gold and silver notes printed now, they made a lot of profits.

But again, the negative impact of the Leng family's failure this time is unpredictable. Moreover, the circulation of Ping An gold and silver notes in the local area will be greatly hindered, not to mention that the Huang family will not miss this opportunity to attack them.

"But are there any other choices now? If we forced the Huang family and others to surrender before, then the current situation has turned over. The rise in grain prices is a foregone conclusion. No matter how we suppress it, it will be difficult to lower the price of grain! Our plan has failed. If we continue to spend it on this, we will lose an astronomical figure every day!"

"So it's better to stop all plans. With the food we currently hold, there may be other opportunities to turn the tables!" Kong Mingchen said: "Marty, you should continue to suffer the chaos. If we wait for the Huang family to take a move, we are thinking of pulling our hands, but it will not be so easy!"

Leng Zhuo's eyes flashed, and it was really difficult for him to make this decision. After all, he had poured too much into it before, and this was also the first step he took after that thought. However, the first step was a tragic failure, and Leng Zhuo could not accept it anyway.

But he could even think about what method the Huang family would use to deal with him. The north was defeated and the war would continue. For food, even if the people did not have such a big demand, they would hoard as much food as possible. The rich landlords who smelled the interests would also hold their granaries tightly and wait for the price of grain to rise. After all, in a chaotic period, gold and silver are not as expensive as food.

For a moment, Leng Zhuo had no choice but to make up his mind. Leng Zhuo's eyes finally looked at the two Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong who had never spoken. One of them was Wolong and the other was Feng Chu, but they were both military advisers and counselors who were planning and winning thousands of miles away.

Zhuge Kongming shook his feather fan and saw Leng Zhuo's gaze. After spending these days together, Zhuge Kongming also had some understanding of Leng Zhuo's temperament. Seeing Leng Zhuo's flashing gaze, he would not know Leng Zhuo's hesitation.

"Young Master, it's actually not without a turning point?" Zhuge Kongming's words made the eyes of the people present look at him, and Leng Zhuo couldn't wait to stand up and said to Zhuge Kongming: "Kong Ming, tell me quickly if you have any way to turn the situation around!"

Zhuge Kongming smiled and said, "Planning is up to people, and success is up to heaven. Whether the current situation can be reversed depends on whether the young master dares to fight!"

"Oh, what do you mean?" Leng Zhuo asked.

"The current situation is a great defeat on the Northern Front. In addition to losing troops and territories, the most important change in people's hearts was that before, no one took the Xiangyang anti-army seriously. Even if thousands of soldiers were swallowed by people before, no one would suspect that the Empire would fail!"

"But the Emperor was defeated, and it was ugly, so the people naturally had some concerns. The best way at the moment is to defeat this failure with a big victory. Of course, the speed must be fast, and it must be before the news spreads completely!"

"As long as there is a big victory, we can cover up our previous failure, saying that it is to lure the enemy into depth, and failure is pretended, and in this way, the situation will be turned back. If we can win several consecutive victories, then the victory will eventually belong to us!"

"Great victory?" Leng Zhuo muttered for a moment, but then he showed a hint of pain, because it was hard to say that this big victory was too great. Leng Zhuo had already seen the reality of the three legions this time, and it was impossible to count on them.

Then he had to lead his troops north, but it was too late to go in time, because most of the 1st division under his command of the rebellion was transferred by him to the logistics battalion. As new grains continued to be harvested, these logistics battalions had been assigned by Leng Zhuo to transport grain from various prefectures and counties. It took ten days and half a month to gather together. When he went north, the daylily was cold.

So what Zhuge Liang said was actually the same as not saying it, because Leng Zhuo could not do it at all: "Military Advisor Kong Ming, what you said about a big victory in the short term is not easy. I can only use more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and most of them are newcomers. Although the training these days has been effective, I want to face the anti-Wang Jun who is now in full swing!" Leng Zhuo said, shaking his head.

"Young master, there is actually a place that can be used! If you use it well, you may have unexpected surprises!"

"oh?"

"Young Master should know the Xiaoxiang Spiritual Academy in Xiaoxiang County, Xiaoxiang Prefecture, right?"

"I know, what's wrong!"

"As far as I know, Xiaoxiang Spiritual Academy is the first institution in Chuzhou. There are 100,000 students alone, and there are nearly half of the soldiers in the warrior department. These soldiers have been trained for two or three years. Although they have never seen blood, they are better than those strong men with weapons. If the young master can pull 20,000 to 30,000 people and carefully plan, they may not be able to shoot a backlash!"

"Xiaoxiang Academy?" Leng Zhuo muttered in a low voice, but his eyes flashed. Perhaps this was his last chance.
