The meeting dispersed, and everyone went back to their respective posts and looked for their mothers.
On the post road to the west, a few strong horses were running smoothly.
"General," the young guard turned his head and looked worriedly at Lin Hanmo in the center, "will the general seriously consider our suggestions?"
"This..." Lin Hanmo hesitated.
They grew up together in the Hou Mansion since they were young. Although they are servants of the master, they are like brothers, and he does not shy away from it.
"I don't know, but I hope they will listen to it."
Otherwise, once the Dinghai Pier is penetrated by Japanese pirates, the good Huayang County and even several surrounding counties will be devastated.
And these people are the culprits.
well.
The other guard sighed, his expression not very good either.
He couldn't help but look back at the stacks of military tents not far away.
"General, almost all the soldiers and horses of the legion are stationed here, and there are many strong soldiers and horses. If they can't withstand Ishikawa Taki, we only have three thousand people, and I'm afraid we can't do anything."
"Indeed." Lin Hanmo smiled bitterly and nodded calmly.
If the Japanese pirates invaded Huayang County, his troops would certainly not be able to turn the tide.
But Lin Hanmo's intention was not here either.
After speaking, he raised his head and looked west.
Huayang County has been a prosperous place since ancient times, with thousands of hectares of fertile land and rivers crisscrossing it.
Even if there were wide and flat post roads and roads extending in all directions, the Japanese pirates had almost no horses, so large-scale marches were still a problem.
Huayang County has Lu Fuhai's East China Sea Barrier in the south, and Mo Canghai's northern garrison and even Wang Ming's Northern Expedition Army in the north.
These armies have cavalry, and once they find that Huayang County is on the verge of being lost, they can quickly provide support.
What Lin Hanmo had to do was to hold on for a while on the main road heading west and wait for help from the east and west sides.
"That's it!" One of the guards suddenly realized.
Snapped.
He slapped his thigh hard.
"Luzuo Academy is sixty miles away from Dinghai Pier. Although it is not far, it is definitely not close. My subordinates originally thought that the general chose it as a training base because he wanted to be far away from the Central Army Corps, so that it could be out of sight and out of mind. "
"Now my subordinates understand what the general means. This is the original intention."
Huayang County was heavily guarded in the north and south. If the Japanese pirates who came ashore were unable to go north or south, they would most likely kill them to the west.
Luzuo Academy is located on the post road leading to Huayang City, the capital of Huayang County.
Yunchui people pay attention to Feng Shui, such as living on a mountain facing the water, and the literati and officials are well versed in this.
As an academy for reading and educating people, Luzuo Academy was established in a place with convenient transportation and close to mountains and rivers.
From Dinghai Pier to Luzuo Academy, the short 60-mile post road spans four rivers.
These rivers are not big.
It is not as majestic as the Xinglan Grand Canal, nor can it be compared with the Laihe River in Laigu County or the ever-lasting Wangchuan River in Yingchuan County.
But it’s summer now, a time of frequent rainfall in the central and eastern parts of the country.
Therefore, the water levels of various rivers and streams have risen a lot, naturally forming natural lines of defense.
Lin Hanmo's 3,000 men were not many, and it was not difficult to block the Japanese pirates' temporary attack if they were well-trained.
Especially Luzuo Academy, with mountains behind it and a river in front of it, it is almost a natural barrier.
As long as you stock up on enough materials, you can definitely block many enemies when your soldiers fight to the death.
"The general is wise." Others reacted one after another.
"You're a wise man!" Lin Hanmo smiled bitterly, "I had no choice but to do it. It's best if we don't use this level. Otherwise, once the Japanese pirates kill Lu Zuo Academy, they will have to retreat to Huayang City."
As a superior county, Huayang City is not a poor frontier city like Peishi City.
It does not have a wall that is too high to be defended for a long time; but it has everything inside, and it can even be said to be rich in the world.
If unfortunately it is captured by Japanese pirates, it will be troublesome.

Central Corps.
The meeting has ended, but Feng Haohan still sat quietly and did not leave.
After a while, several fast horses left Dinghai Pier and galloped away in all directions.
The high ground on the left wing is the trebuchet position.
Small pavilion.
Fresh fruits and melons were placed in front of Fang Yuanwu.
He was eating fruits and enjoying the cool sea breeze, very leisurely.
"General," the young guard next to him came up, "the general just sent a few people away, as if they were preparing to verify what General Lin said before."
"Then go check it out." Fang Yuanwu snorted nonchalantly.
No matter what Lin Hanmo said was true or false, there was one thing he said right.
That is "fighting the battle at hand is the key."
As long as you have a record in hand, no matter which prince is sitting on the dragon throne, he will not easily turn his back on him.
As for the future...
From top to bottom, almost all of the Central Army Corps are children of wealthy families in Star City.
Although the Chen royal family owns the entire Yunchui, no matter who sits on the dragon throne, they must rely on them and the family behind them if they want to successfully rule the empire.
It is said that children are the darlings of their parents. As long as these people cause trouble at home when they return, the Central Army Corps will be safe sooner or later.
never mind.
After thinking about it, Fang Yuanwu turned his head and looked towards the east.
At this time, the East China Sea was empty and vast, and the Japanese pirate fleet had not yet arrived.
But the dotted eyes and ships have all ignited red smoke.
Under the blue sky, streaks of wolf smoke shot straight into the sky, looking very alert and dangerous.
"Ishikawa Taki, come quickly." Fang Yuanwu looked back and shook his head disapprovingly, "It's just a group of Oriental barbarians, nothing to worry about."
Moreover, the more enemies come, the greater your military exploits will be.
Maybe after this battle, he would be promoted to a higher rank and his family would be glorious.
Thinking about returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors in the future, and seeing the respectful and adoring eyes of his tribe everywhere, Fang Yuanwu felt relieved in his heart.
cough!
At some point, the guard coughed slightly, breaking Fang Yuanwu's dream.
"General, the Imperial Commissioner has come towards our position again and has now reached the foot of the mountain."
Fang Yinbao?
Fang Yuanwu came to his senses and suddenly became upset.
Damn it, the old emperor of Star City has probably passed away a long time ago. Why are these bastards still working tirelessly to investigate?
But complaints are complaints, and Fang Yuanwu did not dare to be scornful.
In any case, the Shang Fang sword in Fang Yinbao's hand is not vegetarian.
Especially a few days ago, there were two ignorant Qian Xiang in the right-wing position on the opposite side who made things difficult for them and used words to bully them.
As a result, Fang Yinbao killed him with a knife on the spot.
Afterwards, even the general of the legion did not dare to say anything. Feng Haohan had to smile and said that he had failed to teach him well and asked the imperial envoy to calm down.
"Send the order, Fang Yinbao is here, everyone should be alert, restrain themselves when they need to, and do whatever they need to do. Don't cause any trouble for me."
"yes!"
After giving the order, Fang Yuanwu rubbed his face, put on a smile, and greeted him with a smile. (End of chapter)
