The people who could sit in front of Lin Wenwan were all important figures from the Southern Realm's wealthy families.
Either a wealthy family or a distinguished family.
Their combined strength is enough to compete with the entire beam.
But at this moment, facing Lin Wenwan's scolding, no one dared to resist.
The reason is very simple. Not only does Lin Wenwan have a very strong family background, but she is also talented in both civil and military affairs. Lin Wenwan's evil power cannot even be compared to that of the old patriarch of the Lin family.
Nangong's eldest son coughed lightly and asked tentatively: "What Mrs. Lin wants is... someone?"
Lin Wenwan snorted lightly, not looking at Nangong's eldest son at all.
"snort!"
"You are so petty, but you want to be clever in front of my wife? If one day you encounter my wife who is in a bad mood and strangle you to death, you can only blame yourselves for not opening your eyes!"
"Gusu City is the front line of the war. How brutal the battle will be. Do you still need me to remind you?"
"By then, the Jiangnan garrison and the Lin family will all be exhausted. You rich and powerful families will hide behind and reap the benefits. You are planning well!"
Speaking of this, Lin Wenwan's tone suddenly became sharp, and the aura exuded from her body made everyone present afraid to express their anger.
"You have to provide food and grass, you have to provide military pay, and of course armor and equipment are indispensable."
"In addition, there will be three thousand men from each noble family, one thousand men from each noble family, and one hundred men each from the country gentry and brave men."
"I don't care how you allocate my troops. You must at least provide me with 10,000 soldiers, and 10,000 elite soldiers."
"If anyone dares to use the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled to fool my wife, before fighting Qin Feng, I will sacrifice you to the flag first!"
Everyone looked at each other. For them, food, grass and military pay were irrelevant. The most important resource was people.
Once the fire of war breaks out, human lives must be used to fill it.
These ten thousand people were said to be helping the Lin family raise an army, but in reality they were just cannon fodder.
You don't need to think about it to know that Lin Wenwan will definitely take the lead in sending these 10,000 troops to fight Qin Feng and preserve the strength of the Lin family.
In this way, it is equivalent to the first battle, where the powerful families in the south join forces to fight against Qin Feng.
Only when all these ten thousand people are gone will Lin Wenwan use the power in her hands.
It has to be said that this woman is not only arrogant and violent, but also extremely cunning.
At this moment, a prominent family member named Zhou couldn't stand listening anymore.
He stood up suddenly, looked at Lin Wenwan, and said in a bad tone: "Since others are not willing to show off, then I will be the one to take the blame!"
"Food, grass and money are all easy to buy, but manpower cannot be squandered."
"You know, we are not just fighting Qin Feng, but the entire Liang including Qin Feng."
"How many people are there in the north alone, has Mrs. Lin ever thought about it?"
"In addition to the northern border, there are also Gyeonggi, Central Plains, Dongzhou, and the northwest."
"If we use manpower alone, how can we compete with Daliang?"
"We should adopt a consumption strategy."
"Relying on Gusu City and consuming as much of Qin Feng's effective strength as possible, even if Qin Feng captures Gusu City, more than half of his subordinates' strength will be damaged."
"Although he has occupied Gusu City, if he wants to continue going south, he will be attacked by all parties. This is a case of beating the dog behind closed doors."
"Relying on resource advantages, Qin Feng can be killed."
"I think back when Daliang was founded, we fought side by side with the founding emperor. This was how we fought in the south. No matter who came, they would be killed."
"It was precisely because he knew that it was easy to conquer a city but difficult to advance that the Emperor Liang did not dare to use force against the southern border easily."
"If we concentrate all our forces in Gusu City and fight Qin Feng to the death, it would be easy to win. If we lose, wouldn't we lose our biggest advantage?"
Patriarch Zhou’s words revealed everyone’s thoughts.
From the bottom of their hearts, they were unwilling to send more manpower to Gusu City simply because they were unwilling to devote too much power to the front line.
You must know that throughout the southern border, there are many fortified cities and important towns. If foreign enemies invade, no matter they want to attack any city, they will have to pay a heavy price.
The best strategy is to bloom more and let Qin Feng fall into a war of attrition across the ocean.
But this kind of strategic deployment will cause the Lin family to become cannon fodder and suffer heavy losses.
In the final analysis, how this battle is fought is not the key, the key is who will be the cannon fodder.
Facing Patriarch Zhou's questioning, Lin Wenwan's eyes did not change at all.
"Well said! Beidi thought the same way at the beginning, but don't you know what is going on in Beidi now?"
"Use the same method as Emperor Liang to deal with Qin Feng. I think you are all tired of living."
As soon as these words came out, Chief Zhou couldn't help but frown.
"Mrs. Lin doesn't think it's appropriate? Then just say it and just be sarcastic. What's the point?"
Lin Wenwan snorted. If she didn't need the help of these people, she wouldn't even bother to waste any time on these mediocre people.
"I just have to ask you one thing."
"How many of you so-called clan leaders have been on the battlefield?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock, and no one said a word.
They were living a happy life like a local emperor in the southern border, so why should they suffer on the battlefield?
Seeing that no one responded, Lin Wenwan's tone became even more contemptuous: "Even if you talk about it, it's just talk on paper."
"A group of guys who have never even been on the battlefield dare to give advice here?"
"What you call closing the door and beating the dog, Qin Feng has already used it, and he is more skillful than you."
"This is how he defeated the Beidi army with the power of the northern border!"
"My wife has been fighting with Qin Feng for so long, and she understands Qin Feng's behavior very well."
"I tell you, what will happen once Gusu City is captured!"
"Qin Feng will use Gusu City as his base, and forces from all parties will continue to pour into Gusu City."
"At the same time, a small number of vanguards will attack. Once they encounter resistance, they will retreat directly back to Gusu City."
"Then there will be an overwhelming number of exploration horses and scouts. He will not formulate the next military action until the entire southern city and fortress layout is thoroughly investigated."
"You want to stick to the important town and let Qin Feng care about the head and not the tail?"
"Hahaha, it's so funny!"
"He only needs to send troops and horses to attack the nearest city, and eat the entire southern border one bite at a time."
"Gusu City is not only an important town of front teeth, but also the entire gateway. Qin Feng's occupation of Gusu City is equivalent to closing the door. It is indeed a case of shutting the door and beating the dog. However, this dog may not be Qin Feng, but maybe everyone here."
Before Clan Leader Zhou could speak, Lin Wenwan shouted softly: "I know what you want to say!"
"If you want to attack Qin Feng sneakily, you must leave the city. Once you enter the field, Qin Feng's army will eat you pampered old soldiers without leaving any bones."
