In the original history, up to now, Liaodong has fallen. The dangerous mountain where Ye Fu was located had been plundered by the Tartars long before the fall of Liaoshen! But now, it is still in Ye Fu's hands.

Ye Fu clenched his fingers, squinted his eyes, and asked Dou Xiangguang: "Do you have any plans for the defense of the Qingtaiyu line in the third town?" ”

Dou Xiangguang had already received a personal transmission from Wen Wenshan, the commander of the army, before he came, and when he heard Ye Fu really ask, he was naturally very excited. He pondered in his heart, Wen Wenshan was really good, and he even knew what Ye Fu thought.

In the future, he will definitely be more obedient to Wen Wenshan.

After flashing these things in his heart, he immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I am in a hurry to report to you about the situation on the front line in Liaoyang. The lowly rank assumes that the number of Tartars is inferior to that of our army, and what they are good at is nothing more than two points, one of which is naturally blitzkrieg. With the speed of cavalry, I was caught off guard. However, the lowly position envisages that if the lowly rank is stationed in the fortified city, it will be ready to work, and the patrol will be strengthened at all times, so as to know the enemy's movements as soon as possible. Then this point can naturally be self-defeating. ”

Ye Fu nodded, he didn't say he was satisfied, but he didn't say he was dissatisfied, he only motioned for Dou Xiangguang to continue.

I only heard Dou Xiangguang say: "Second, it is the Tartars who are the best at field warfare. Although our army also attaches more importance to field warfare, in terms of strength, it is not as good as the Tartars. Therefore, the lowly rank thought that if the Tartars attacked the city, the lowly rank should be said to hold on. If it tempts our army out of the city, we don't have to worry about it. As long as we don't get out of town, there won't be much of a problem. When it comes to siege, that's not really the Tartars' strong point. ”

Ye Fu nodded slowly and said, "Okay!" Now that you've made up your mind, I'm not going to say anything more. As a commander, you should go back to your soldiers. Go, this time there is no need to behead, no need to capture, as long as you hold all the cities and don't lose a single one, I will count you as a great achievement! ”

After Dou Xiangguang left, Ye Fu sat in the study and was silent for a long time.

Xu Gaozhuo thought that he was still worried about Liaoyang's affairs, but when he saw that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, he persuaded him: "My lord, my dangerous mountain army originally only had the responsibility of defending the land. As long as there is not a single fort in the jurisdiction of the dangerous mountain, as you said, it is a great achievement. Students don't think you need to worry too much. ”

I saw Ye Fu shaking his head and saying, "I'm not worried about this. ”

Xu Gaozhuo didn't know why, "Then what are you worried about?" ”

Ye Fu shook his head and did not speak again.

Xu Gaozhuo looked at him for a long time, and when he saw that he didn't say anything, he had to stop asking.

In fact, what Ye Fu was worried about was not the battle situation in front of him, but the soldiers who escaped from Liaoyang.

These people, of course, are all human beings, and they are veterans in terms of fighting, and they are also strong laborers in terms of farming. In times of war, there is really nothing more important than population.

But after all, they have a criminal record!

They can run out of Liaoyang today, and Ye Fu can't guarantee that in the future, they will be in the same situation and will not run away from their own territory again.

Therefore, he was very hesitant to accept these people, or even integrate them into the army.

However, after some thought, he suddenly smiled.

Some of these don't come to think of it, but they don't really have much effect.

After all, his subordinates also took in a lot of people who had taken refuge from the Tartars, and when I think about it, it was still more unstable than the fugitives. But as long as he can be good to the people and give them a sense of belonging, then the people's hearts will inevitably be stable.

On the contrary, if the people cannot have a sense of belonging, no matter how stable the people's hearts are, they will still become unstable in the end.

Thinking clearly about this time, Ye Fu was relieved and instructed Xu Gaozhuo: "In recent days, the military office has joined forces with the staff office to screen and contain the displaced people and soldiers, and we must not commit any deliberate sabotage, but we must not let ordinary people feel that our governance is too strict." How to appease the people is mostly a matter for the staff room, but to screen the people, they all count on you to join the military room. In addition, the rogue soldiers are all veterans, and if they can be used, they will naturally be hired first, but they must not be hungry. The degree of this is up to you. I just want a satisfactory result! ”

"Yes, the student understands that the student will take care of this for you." Xu Gaozhuo hurriedly got up and agreed.

Qingtaiyu.

Dou Xiangguang, who was driven back by Ye Fu, happened to catch up with the pre-war meeting held by Lin Yaochong, the wing commander of the West Road. The participants included the main field officers below Wen Wenshan, the commander of the Third Town, and the principal security officers below Zhu Guoan, the captain of the West Road Security Brigade stationed on the West Road.

But in fact, from the division of responsibilities between the two sides and Ye Fu's layout requirements, it can be known that this time it is not the third town that will play the main role, but the security brigade under Zhu Guoan.

Lin Yaochong's face was cold, and the atmosphere in the room became serious and tense for a while. He said to Zhu Guoan: "Captain Zhu, you are an adult's personal guard, and when it comes to the big truth, naturally you don't need me to elaborate on it." It should be clear in your heart. ”

Zhu Guoan stood up, "I have been a pro-soldier since I followed my lord, so I naturally understand what to do at this time." Please rest assured, the winged commander will do his best to serve, and the city is in the people! The city is broken and the people die first! ”

Lin Yaochong shook his head and said, "It's not that you want to die for the country!" Now is not the time for my dangerous army to die for the country! The enemy chief Nurhachi waved his army of 40,000, which seems to be quite a lot of people, but in fact, it is already a labor expedition, and it is a tired army rather than a strong enemy! It's just the power of repeated victories, but in fact, the outside is strong and the middle is dry, so there is nothing to worry about. As long as he can't break through the city quickly when he first comes into contact, his morale will inevitably decline. One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. In this way, we wait for our work, victory is deserved, and loss is incredible! ”

"Yes, Wing Commander has taught him a lesson!" Zhu Guoan immediately responded, "The humble post has made a plan to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

"Well, that's what a city guard should say." Lin Yaochong nodded, motioned for him to sit down, turned his head to Dou Xiangguang, who had just sat down on the other side, and asked, "Do you have any instructions?" ”

Dou Xiangguang said: "My lord has no special instructions, only that this battle can be won or defeated, and as for the specific combat strategy, we will deal with it ourselves." ”

Lin Yao said: "Okay! Since the adults have given us power, it is a sign of trusting us! As a subordinate, how can I not worry about the officials? In this operation, it is naturally to defend the city, mainly with the security brigade, but the third town cannot relax! The most important thing for adults is the two words 'collaboration'! In the eyes of adults, the most taboo thing is to be in the same room! Rank must prepare for the battle carefully, and don't live up to the trust of adults! ”

"Yes!"

~~

After the collective combat meeting, he returned to his own signing room, and Zhu Guoan frowned.

Facing a group of subordinates, he commanded: "The Tartars have taken the power of repeated victories and forced my western defense line. Your Excellency has commanded you to take this matter seriously! In response to the enemy's attack, now I order, the security brigade to be brought into full combat readiness. Twelve hours, in four shifts, make sure to have an energetic soldier on the wall at all times! ”
