Jinshan City, military camp in the city.
Xun Peng's Black Dragon Army led by Bai Cejun and Wang Lie's army had already joined together and were temporarily stationed here.
The army was stationed, and Bai Cejun arranged for people to understand the news on the front line and did not act rashly.
On the one hand, when fighting on the battlefield, one must know oneself and the enemy. When Bai Cejun arrived at Jinshan City, although he had Wang Lie's information, he himself did not know enough about the situation in Xia Kingdom on the front line. On the other hand, Lin Feng sent news back from the front line and was working to hollow out Xia's food supply.
Bai Cejun mainly considered Lin Feng's actions.
In particular, Lin Feng has used means to deprive Xia Guoan of the food he needed to close the warehouse, and is still taking further actions to disrupt Anyi. Once Lin Feng achieves a comprehensive victory, it will be a great help to Bai Cejun.
The foundation of an army lies in food.
Once all food and logistics are lost, no matter how powerful Qi Feixiong is, he will not be able to continue to resist the Qin army in Jinshan City. Therefore, during this period of time, although Bai Ce's army sent out cavalry to harass them from time to time, they never attacked on a large scale.
Military camp, Chinese military tent.
Bai Cejun is reading a book. Now that there is no war, Bai Cejun doesn't have much to do. The presence of Xun Peng and Wang Lie in food, grass, logistics, etc. is enough to ensure stability, and Bai Cejun does not need to be responsible.
Bai Cejun only needs to sit in command.
While Bai Cejun was reading, the curtain of the camp tent was raised, and a soldier entered and reported: "Commander, General Xun Peng wants to see you."
"please!"
Bai Cejun gave an order.
The soldier went to deliver the order, and in a blink of an eye Xun Peng entered the camp, clasping his fists and saluting.
Xun Peng took the initiative and said: "Commander, we have been in Jinshan City for a while. These days we have not moved our troops. The soldiers in the army are a little restless. Every soldier wants to go out of the city to fight and attack the camp in Xia Kingdom. Our Great Qin army is invincible, even if Qi Feixiong is here, we are not afraid."
Bai Cejun snorted and said: "Qi Feixiong is as famous as Lin Jiuxiao in the past, and he is not easy to compare with. What's more, Qi Feixiong is good at defense. He set up a camp on the front line to attack by force. Even if he can win, he will only kill the enemy. One thousand will cost you eight hundred."
Xun Peng said: "As long as Qi Feixiong loses, we can naturally kill him?"
"madness!"
Bai Cejun scolded.
His hair and beard are all white. Although he is old, his majesty is fully displayed when he is angry.
"Our battle is not to retreat after a brief confrontation with Xia Kingdom, but to completely destroy Xia Kingdom."
"Since it is a battle to destroy the country, we must consider the long term in the fight with the Xia Kingdom. We must not only defeat the opponent, but also defeat the opponent while preserving our own strength. Only in this way can we become stronger with each passing battle. "
"I don't want our losses to increase as we fight one battle after another."
"In a war, you have to get stronger as you fight."
"The bravery of an ordinary man is a rampage. Even if we defeat Qi Feixiong first, the territory of Xia Kingdom is so large. Once the armies of the four sides of Xia Kingdom gather together and all come to resist, even if we can win again, the losses will be incomparable. huge."
"I will never allow this."
Bai Cejun's eyes were sharp and he said loudly: "If you want to fight, the soldiers under your command will fight, so I'm holding them back. When it's time for you to fight, fight with all your strength. The reason why the sword is not unsheathed is not not to kill people, but to maintain the sword. The sword is harder and sharper."
Xun Peng's cheeks twitched because Bai Cejun's words were a slap in the face without giving him any face.
For a moment, Xun Peng na na.
Bai Cejun continued: "Xun Peng, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can directly report to His Majesty. I will not stop you."
"The general will not dare."
Xun Peng quickly expressed his stance.
It's a big taboo to go up to the next level.
In the army, there are even more rules in the army. If you show up regardless of the rules, you will easily be boycotted by everyone.
This only proves your incompetence.
You, Xun Peng, are dissatisfied. If you want to prove yourself, then prove it in your own way.
Bai Cejun's eyes were deep and he said slowly: "Although Lin Feng is young, he acts steadily, wins by surprise, and knows how to use troops. He knows that a big war, especially a war between two countries, involves a national war, and it is not just a mere show of courage, so Sneak into Anyi personally to operate it."
"I admire Lin Feng for this."
"He is courageous, and he is also wise and understanding. He is worthy of being a general disciple."
"Lin Feng has already achieved one success in Anyi, emptying out Xia Guoan's grain warehouse. He is still continuing to implement the plan. Once it is completely successful, it will be of great help to this battle. "
"This is my reason for delaying sending troops."
Bai Cejun sighed with emotion: "No matter you are a person, an official, or a general, you must be patient. When you have the opportunity to draw your sword, you can work hard and win the battle. You are so anxious to fight, what's the point of just relying on your bravery? What’s the meaning? When fighting, you can’t just rely on your hands, you have to use your brain, and using your brain is the key.”
Bai Cejun is old and has already retired to the official position. At his age, he no longer cares about anything else.
Bai Cejun only cares about the outcome of this battle.
He is approaching old age and is already an official, but he still has the opportunity to lead troops to destroy Xia.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Destroy Xia in one battle, and even achieve the greatest victory with the least loss.
Xun Peng's expression changed even more, and Bai Cejun scolded him mercilessly, not caring at all that he was also the leader of the Black Dragon Army.
However, Xun Peng did not dare to argue at all.
Bai Cejun's prestige is too high.
Xun Peng was once just a local garrison general. People like him arrived in Xianyang without any foundation.
Xun Peng cupped his fists and said, "Commander, the general will finally realize his mistake."
"Report!"
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came, reporting: "Commander, Lord Lin is back with his people."
"Okay, finally back."
A bright smile appeared on Bai Cejun's old face, and he said in a deep voice: "The news that Lin Feng sent back before was that the grain in Anpingcang was captured. This batch of grain has been transported to Daqin by water. He said that it should be kept at the rear. , further disrupting Anyi and seeking food. Now that we are back, we must be victorious."
"Xun Peng, you have come into contact with Lin Feng. Learn more from him."
"Let's go and meet our hero."
Bai Cejun stood up and came to the camp gate in person. He saw Lin Feng.
This was the first time Bai Cejun met Lin Feng.
Bai Cejun came out of the mountain before, but Lin Feng had already set off for Anyi, and the two sides did not meet. Seeing Lin Feng again now, even though Bai Cejun knew that Lin Feng was young, he was still amazed by Lin Feng's youth.
Young and promising!
Worthy of being the queen of generals.
Bai Cejun smiled and said: "Lin Feng, you went to Anyi for a short time and then returned to Jinshan City. Could it be that you have completed your mission in Anyi?"
"Reporting to Bai Shuai, I have completed the task."
Lin Fengyan gave a concise and concise answer.
"Okay, okay, he is indeed Lin Jiuxiao's grandson!" Bai Cejun waved his hand and said, "Let's go back to the camp first and tell me about the situation in Anyi."
"Here!"
Lin Feng led Huan Suzhi, Cui Yuantu, Ying Wu and others in, while Jiang Dushan led his team to settle things.
Everyone arrived at the Chinese army's tent and took their seats.
Xun Peng took the initiative and said: "Master Lin Hou, how is the planning in Anyi?"
Bai Cejun glanced at Xun Peng, his eyes intriguing. However, he did not stop him and looked at Lin Feng with a look of expectation in his eyes.
