"Is anyone gone?"
"It's my lord, I just sent it out."
"Can you comfort me?"
"It's been comforted. I helped Bai Lang find a way out according to your instructions. But it seems that he doesn't believe it too much." After Zhou Zhonghao sent Bai Lang away, he returned to Feng Mingyuan's study.
Feng Mingyuan was still writing at the desk, and continued without raising his head: "Bai Lang is not stupid, and although he has a sense of belonging to the knife academy, he is not as obedient to me as Tang Yan was at the beginning. After all, we are not from the same lineage, and he has come into contact with me Most of it is the Sword Hall, not the City Lord's Mansion and me. It's unrealistic for him to be so determined, and he has to be tied up with interests.
When Tang Yan and Chen Zhiyun died suddenly, Bailang's ascension to the throne was a temporary measure. There are many doubts about him, and there must be someone behind him. Now it seems that the good relationship I wanted to make at the beginning may really come in handy this time. "
"What do you mean, sir, to force Bailang to take risks, or to put him in a desperate situation, so that he can survive and seek help from the people behind him?" Zhou Zhonghao quickly thought of Feng Mingyuan's plan.
"Yes. As soon as Liu Jianyu arrives in Yongchuan City, the city will no longer be under our control. Those guys who work for money are unreliable. We ourselves will be nailed to the spot by Liu Jianyu and unable to move. If Bailang can put him behind him The person invited here is at least a monk in the Mysterious Vein Realm, and Liu Jianyu can be speechless in terms of relationships. In this way, the possibility of stabilizing the industrial park is greater.
If it still doesn't work, just drag it back, drag it to your home, and free your hands from the temple to resolve the situation here. "
"My lord's brilliant plan! The seeds that were planted back then should now add fuel to your lord's fire. But I'm afraid this weapon's trap is not easy to remove."
"What's so bad about exposing it? As long as Bailang follows your instructions, be smarter and don't act impulsively, when the time comes, send a group of people out and kill a group of people, and there will be no problem in protecting Bailang.
Of course, the premise is that the people behind him can help me withstand the storm behind. Otherwise, huh, he will be dead if he dies, and he should be apologizing for the shortcomings of the industrial park. "
After Feng Mingyuan said this, he put down the pen in his hand and raised his head from the desk. He stood up and called Zhou Zhonghao to come over and take a look.
"Come and take a look. This is my preview of the situation ahead. Come and give me some advice."
Zhou Zhonghao quickly walked to the table and looked down. The originally huge map spread on the table now had a lot of small notes temporarily pasted on it and some situational symbols representing the direction of movement of troops.
Zhou Zhonghao looked at it carefully without saying a word, and he did so for nearly half an hour. Even later Zhou Zhonghao was on the map. This scene did not make Feng Mingyuan feel impatient at all. On the contrary, he walked to the window with his tea cup and waited quietly. He was even satisfied with Zhou Zhonghao's concentration and felt that his deduction should have brought Zhou Zhonghao into it.
When Zhou Zhonghao raised his head again, the expression on his face was quite solemn. He has always been following Feng Mingyuan, intentionally catching up with Feng Mingyuan's level in both knowledge and means, and striving to understand and advise Feng Mingyuan when he has something to do. Therefore, Zhou Zhonghao also understood the situation on the map and could see the way out.
"Sir, in just two hundred miles from Pengshan Pass to Pengshan City, there are five military towns. Each military town has the strength of two armies. Among them, the last three are all troops of the elite Panshi of the country. They are mutually beneficial. There are heavy cavalry and light cavalry in Huajiao rushing to support each other. Even if Pengshan Pass cannot be defended, it will not be possible for five formations to be broken in just over a month, and the troops will directly attack Pengshan City, right?"
Zhou Zhonghao understood Feng Mingyuan's temper very well. He knew that Feng Mingyuan didn't like to flatter him blindly. He would say "Okay! Your Majesty is mighty" to everything he saw. He had to go back and forth, and he didn't even mind pointing out his mistakes. As long as he pays attention to methods and does not directly attack Feng Mingyuan, Feng Mingyuan is actually a person who can listen to opinions.
At this time, Zhou Zhonghao was not in a hurry to flatter anyone. Instead, he first expressed his own opinions and directly stated what he felt were wrong with Feng Mingyuan's deduction on the map. Let’s exchange our views in depth. This is his duty as a personal guard and counselor.
Feng Mingyuan was still standing by the window without coming over. He was blowing the cool breeze outside the window and knew exactly what Zhou Zhonghao was talking about. He has confidence in his heart.
"Zhonghao, you can't always look at the surface. Do you know who built the Wudao Army Town? It was built by the Ma family! That's right, it's the Ma family that you know. So do you think those soldiers How strong are the arrow walls, trenches, forts, etc. in the town? It’s a blessing to be able to reach 70% under normal circumstances. It wouldn’t be surprising even if it’s only 50%. The Ma family is brave enough and has nothing to do in terms of making money. They can't do it.
In addition, you also saw the origin of the army I marked on the map. Wudaojun Town has a total of ten armies with a total strength of more than 30,000 people. Eight of the ten generals were unknown young men from aristocratic families. The other two are veterans with some reputation in the military, but they also come from aristocratic families.
Zhonghao, do you know what this means?
This means that most of these military commanders went down to Pengshan to get gold-plated qualifications. His mind was not on the military at all, let alone his battlefield skills. Under normal circumstances, these people can lead hundreds of people, which is considered to be outstanding. Nowadays, in a battle involving thousands of people, it's surprising that they can grasp the context of the battlefield. "
Seeing Zhou Zhonghao's livid face, Feng Mingyuan also sighed and continued: "Angry? Haha, this is the shortcoming of the aristocratic family, otherwise how could those new-school guys become increasingly rampant in the temple and gradually take the initiative? Don't blame the enemy for being too strong, just blame yourself for always having bugs.
Fortunately, the Ministry of War Yamen was not completely stunned. The city defense of Pengshan City and the garrison of Pengshan Pass do not have these problems. The defenders are all truly elite troops, and this is also the reason why the war has been raging for more than half a year but they can still withstand it without breaking through.
However, when manpower is limited, although Pengshan Pass is dangerous, it is still difficult to defend against it after a long period of tug-of-war. When the true elite of the country is about to be worn out, it will become inevitable to break the barrier. Do you expect those old soldiers to go up to the city walls and fight hand-to-hand with the devouring barbarians? Unrealistic. "
After Feng Mingyuan said this, he walked back to the table, pointed to the three big red arrows he marked on the map, and said: "Once Pengshan Pass is lost, Pengshan City will bear the brunt and will become an isolated city. It is a certainty that the city will be destroyed and massacred." .Then the barbarians will divide their troops into three groups and take the northwest, the richest part of the country, and at the same time aim at the capital.
As for our Yongchuan City, this time may be better than the last war. The barbarians didn't get much from here last time, which was not equivalent to the expense they spent on traveling thousands of miles, so they probably won't come.
In other words, I deduce that the northeastern part of the country where Yongchuan City is located is likely to become the rear after the erosion of this war. "
