Wu Nian looked intently at the map on the desk. The mountains and terrain in Liaodong, as well as his enemies, were clearly visible.
Jiangxian, Yuanxian and Dingxian are all in the same glyph shape.
Jiang County is in the north, Yuan County and Ding County are in the south.
Zhang Jin, Long Qie, and Liu Wu, the defenders of Yuan County, Ding County, and Beishan Fort, just formed a straight line of defense.
Look at the enemies around you again.
Puguli is in the north. Hou Wancheng is in the south. Jin Ruiyun and Wan Yan appear in the east, while Chun Yuan is in the west.
The land of three counties is the land of four battles.
Chunyuan has a bear but no self to drag him, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being. The straight lines of Nanfang Zhang Jin, Long Qie, and Liu Wu can compete with Hou Wancheng.
If he leads the main force, attack Puguli. Then Jin Ruiyun and Wanyanxian in the east will lead their troops to attack Jiang County or support Puguli.
If Jiang County is lost, everything will be over.
Although Ding County in the east has a certain protective effect on Jiang County, the effect is too small.
Wu Nian had no doubts about how to arrange his troops. He raised his right hand, put his index and middle fingers together, pointed at a mountain named [Tongyun Mountain] among the mountains, and said: "This road is the key road from Guangyang Prefecture to Yingqing Prefecture. Guard this mountain , very important. But two thousand households may have to face their opponents alone."
Having said this, Wu Nian raised his head and looked at the generals present.
Feng Chong couldn't wait to clasp his fists with his hands and said with high spirits: "General. Please let me lead another captain to sit in Tongyun Mountain. I will fight one against two. Wan Yanxian and Jin Ruiyun are worthy of the title."
Wu Nian ignored this guy and turned to look at Wei Ru. With a sparkle in his eyes, he said: "Lieutenant, only you can do this."
Wei Ru calmly clasped his hands into his fists and said crisply: "It's your order."
Feng Chong suddenly bared his teeth and glanced at Wei Ru unconvincedly, but did not yell.
"I led Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng's troops to attack Yingqing Pass head-on. I faced Puguli directly. Tieniu. When I sent troops, you led two of your most elite soldiers from Qianhu to march day and night. , take a small road, bypass Yingqing Pass, and sneak attack Yun County."
"Yes." Tieniu pinched his chin, showing a solemn expression. If what Zhao Yanting said is true, then a sneak attack on Yun County would be easy, but if it is false.
"The remaining three thousand troops of the Tieniu tribe, plus Captain Feng, are stationed in Zhenjiang County. They are commanded by Zhixing in case of unexpected events. In addition, militia are recruited as a supplement to the city's defense. I won't say more. "
"Also. Send someone to communicate with Xiong Wuwo. Even if he is suppressed by Chunyuan, there is still a chance that a fighter will appear."
Wu Nian raised his head and said to Liu Zhixing.
"Yes." Liu Zhixing also looked solemn and nodded in agreement.
"Finally. Tieniu. Let's discuss it. If Zhao Yanting is a trap, how can you come back alive."
Wu Nian nodded, and finally looked up at Tieniu. Looking at this old brother, his face was full of solemnity and seriousness.
There are risks in fighting a war.
But the human heart is made of flesh, and he will be heartbroken if he loses every soldier. What's more, Tieniu and him are as close as brothers.
He hoped that Tieniu could survive when he encountered a trap.
If possible, Wu Nian hopes Feng Chong will go. Feng Chong's force is stronger and his ability is more outstanding. But it's a pity. Jiang County is the base camp and cannot be lost.
It was guarded by Feng Chong.
"Yeah." Tieniu nodded, bending over and looking at the map with his head down.
Everyone discussed the map for a long time, made various plans, and added some details. This military meeting is finally over.
Wu Nian asked all the civil and military personnel to leave, called in his soldiers, and moved away the desks and maps.
Although Wu Nian had made a plan and had determination. But my heart was racing and could never calm down.
This is a critical step.
The entire six county towns of Qingyang Prefecture were conquered, and a large area of mountainous areas in central Liaodong was included in the territory. Advance to attack, retreat to defend.
Even Xiong Wuwo and Chunyuan decided the winner at Shanhaiguan and led an army of 100,000 to attack. He was confident of defending Qingyang Mansion.
certainly. If Xiong Wuwo and Chunyuan can remain as they are, it would be better to remain as they are.
Only then can he continue to make profits from it.
And the key to this war is Zhao Yanting.
Is he real or fake? Is he really using his mother as a hostage, or is he sending her to die? Deceiving yourself?
"Zhao Yanting. I bet on you this time. If you deceive me, I will make you die in an ugly way." Wu Nian put his hands on his waist, holding his two thick palms together tightly. A sharp look flashed in his eyes.
"Da da da!"
A very ordinary carriage was walking on the mountain road. A white-haired old man was waving his whip in front, driving the carriage.
Two strong domestic slaves, one on the left and one on the right, rode behind the carriage.
Inside the carriage.
Zhao Yanting sat cross-legged, with his bamboo hat on his right side. He looked up and looked ahead, but there was only a black curtain in front of him.
There was an astonishing light in his eyes, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
But he didn't know what he was laughing at.
............
It’s another year’s autumn harvest.
Outside Jiang County. Countless people wielded sickles and harvested crops with sweat on their backs. Although it was hard work, everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.
Although there have been constant wars in recent years, things have been going smoothly. This year is another big harvest. The harvested food is enough to feed the family for a year, which is more than enough.
Wu Nian promised.
I will not keep a single acre of the land in these three counties.
All the fields were given to meritorious soldiers. As a school captain, Tieniu is a well-established landlord and wealthy family outside Jiang County.
Autumn harvest today.
Wu Nian took Liu Xiang to Tieniu's farmland to experience the busy work of farming.
certainly. Wu Nian did no work at all, only Liu Xiang wore a small straw hat and held a sickle, cutting wheat diligently.
This little wife has always been a diligent little bee.
Two grown men, Wu Nian and Tieniu, were sitting on two benches chatting.
"Brother. Before the Meng Yuan people went south, I really never dreamed that I, Tieniu, would be where I am today. Leading troops to fight, having thousands of acres of land, concubines, slaves, and a house."
"Brother. All this is thanks to you."
Tieniu looked at his crop field with a look of emotion. He turned around, hugged Wu Nian with a fist, and said sincerely grateful.
"My brother. What stupid things to say. Besides, you have earned all this by yourself. The wounds on your body are all proof of your military exploits."
Wu Nian made a fist with his right hand, hit Tieniu hard, and cursed with a smile.
"hehe."
Tieniu chuckled and said nothing more. But he knew very well in his heart that if he hadn't met Wu Nian. Even if he is capable, he is just a good soldier.
A good soldier.
What can you do in troubled times? Without this brother, he might be dead.
"Da da da!"
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves. Wu Nian and Tieniu looked up together and saw Chen Jiagui coming on horseback with a few followers and stopped by the road.
He turned over and dismounted, walked along the field ridge, and quickly came to the front of the two men.
"General. Tieniu. I can confirm that Zhao Yanting's mother and three sons are real."
Chen Jiagui bent down and whispered to the two of them.
Wu Nian and Tieniu's eyes sparkled.
real.
That means the arrow has to be fired when it is on the string.
"I still believe him. We Han people are not barbarians. Very few people abandon their old mother to become a bait. What's more, we have three sons with her."
Wu Nian raised his head and looked around at Tieniu and Chen Jiagui, and said in a solemn tone: "Brothers, this one, we must be the winners."
