For Duan Chong's humility and good questioning, he soon got the approval of General Ying Haiying, and in General Ying Haiying's mind, although this senior general of Dali was younger when he was young, but he did not have the slightest unruly temperament, and his speech made people feel like a spring breeze, and he could meet his appetite everywhere, so the original sense of disgust has faded a lot, and at this moment, seeing Duan Chong so easy to ask, he didn't even want to rest and asked about the situation, and there was some impressive meaning in it, and after the tea was drunk, General Ying Haiying led Duan Zhong into a side hall, which was extremely empty, but the walls were full of maps, which were topographic maps of the Liangguang region, and before General Ying Haiying spoke, Duan Zhong had already stepped forward by himself, and looked at it seriously, General Ying Haiying waited on the side, and did not speak to disturb Duan Chong, only let Duan Chong look at it himself.

For the map of this world, the drawing is really a bit abstract and difficult to understand, but Duan Chong is a person who has been in the barracks, and he has seen a lot of maps, so he is not unable to understand it, and Duan Chong looked at it for a moment, sometimes frowning and pondering, sometimes suddenly realized, sometimes quick glances, sometimes staring at one place to watch, it took a little half an hour to look at all the maps hanging on the wall. Although there are not many maps, the amount of information contained in them is huge, and General Ying Haiying saw that Duan Zhong had finished reading it, but he asked with a faint smile: "After General Shan read these maps, what are his opinions!" ”

Duan Zhong touched his nose, took a deep breath, and only spit out one word: "Difficult!" ”

"Oh!" General Ying Haiying raised his eyebrows: "I want to hear it!" ”

Duan Zhong squinted his eyes, but walked under a more detailed map, but pointed to the location of Qianzhou on the map, and then swiped his hand to the southeast, connecting the two cities in a line: "Although the distance between this Qianzhou and Tingzhou is only three hundred miles, the ruggedness of the terrain is far beyond my imagination. Although if we join forces and attack Tingzhou City, it will definitely be able to fight, but although this Tingzhou City can be called a military city, it is not impossible to give up, what we are most afraid of is not that the siege cannot be attacked, but that the second prince of Xiao Beiding will turn into stragglers and fight guerrilla warfare with us after the loss of the city, our troops are limited, even if we capture Tingzhou, we cannot divide a large number of troops to garrison, once the troops are divided, it is possible to be broken one by one, plus the galloping of soldiers and horses in Guangzhou, There is no doubt that this battle is very difficult to fight! ”

General Ying Haiying's eyes suddenly lit up, it was obvious that Duan Chong's words were extremely reasonable, just by looking at the map, he could see the situation so thoroughly, but it was really not easy, but he heard General Ying Haiying say: "What General Shan said is not bad at all, if it weren't for these many factors, my army would definitely not have stood still for so long, after all, the difference between the mountainous terrain and the plain area is extremely huge, so if you want to win this battle, it is very difficult. Even if you add 15,000 people in Dali, it will be difficult to make a difference! ”

Duan Zhong shook his head: "The Yangtze River War is imminent, and the new emperor of Southern Liang is also eager to pacify the internal troubles, the south must be pacified, and presumably the war in the north is also in urgent need of General Ying Haiying to rush to help, if it has been involved in the south, once something goes wrong, it will be the death of the country!" ”

On the one hand, Xiao Beiping is anxious to need this General Ying Haiying to go to the north to support after pacifying the southern Xinjiang, on the other hand, it is not easy for the southern Xinjiang to be pacified, and the contradiction between the two is destined to be scorched, but Duan Zhong must solve this situation, so General Ying Haiying continued: "What General Shan said is extremely true, so my army can't act rashly, if it is easy to send troops, it may not win the war, Even this Qianzhou may be lost, if General Shan has any good way, he might as well say it and take a look! ”

Duan Zhong put his hands on his cheeks and thought for a moment, but he shook his head and said: "Shan Teng has just arrived, and his understanding of the situation is not very deep, General Ying has not come up with a good way to deal with it for so long, what can I say as a hairy boy?" What can be a good way, but in the eyes of Shan Teng. Although there is no good way at the moment, but there are some favorable conditions that can be studied well, if it is used well, it is natural to come up with some methods, as the so-called endless road, there will always be a way! ”

General Ying Haiying was stunned for a moment, but continued to ask: "I don't know what the advantages of General Shan's mouth are!" ”

Duan Zhong sorted out his thoughts, sorted out his thoughts well, and then stood up straight, but continued to walk under the map, pointed to the location of Tingzhou, and then pointed to the place where Guangzhou was located and said: "Qianzhou is three hundred miles away from Tingzhou, but it is seven hundred miles away from Guangzhou, and the distance between Guangzhou and Tingzhou is nearly a thousand miles. Although it is nominally taking care of each other, but in fact, the time spent to help each other is definitely not short, and according to conventional thinking, if we send troops, we must first attack Tingzhou, and this Tingzhou is a dispensable city and county, even if we lose it, don't worry, because even if we attack Tingzhou, the division of troops is definitely insufficient, as long as we wait for the army in Guangzhou to help, it will be very dangerous! ”

Duan Zhong paused, but glanced at General Ying Haiying, and found that this General Ying Haiying also entered into contemplation, and pondered for a while, and then continued: "This place in Guangzhou, but it is the core of the two Guangzhou, heavy troops are easy to defend and difficult to attack, if we send troops from Qianzhou, not to mention the long distance, whether we can attack it is also an extremely unpredictable thing, and if we take this opportunity to attack, Tingzhou's soldiers and horses come to sneak attack, then Qianzhou will also be lost because of the lack of troops, That means that the southern frontier of this Southern Liang has completely fallen into the hands of Xiao Beiding! ”

General Ying Haiying nodded: "This is exactly where the old man's concerns are!" ”

Duan Zhong smiled slightly and said: "The distance between these two cities has certainly caused us a lot of trouble, but it is also a place where we can take advantage of it, after all, the two cities are too far apart, and it is extremely difficult to help each other, if we can attack the two cities at the same time, maybe the chances will be much greater!" ”

General Ying Haiying's eyes lit up at first, but then dimmed: "We don't have enough troops to attack together, so even Qianzhou City will have no troops to defend!" ”

Duan Zhong smiled slightly: "Who said that we must attack two cities at the same time?" Why can't it be a real attack in one city and a feint attack in one city? ”

General Ying Haiying was stunned: "Could it be that General Shan already has a strategy!" ”

Duan Zhong shook his head: "General Ying's words are serious, Shan Teng Fangfu is here, even if he is not even familiar with this battle situation, how can he think of a specific strategy?" These ideas are just a momentary thought after looking at the map, whether they can be put into practice or not, still needs specific discussion and speculation, these all need the help of General Ying! ”

At this point, General Ying Haiying was already impressed by Duan Chong, but just as he was about to continue to ask, Duan Chong already bowed very respectfully and said: "General Ying, Shan Teng is really a little tired, can you go and rest for a day, let's make a plan again!" ”

In the face of Duan Chong's earnest request, how could General Ying Haiying not agree? Hurriedly said: "Then General Shan will go and rest first!" I'll arrange for General Shan to go to the couch to rest! As he spoke, he led Duan Chong out of the side hall, and called a subordinate to lead Duan Chong to rest, so far, General Ying Haiying's plan to give Duan Chong a dismount was completely broken, and under Duan Chong's sleek and flattering pretence, he finally passed the most difficult hurdle at the moment.

Back in the house, Duan Chong finally took a long breath, this day of hurrying, it was really hard, Duan Chong was really tired, so he didn't want to think about it, he went to bed directly and fell asleep, directly from the evening to the next day, and the next morning, no one came to disturb Duan Chong, so Duan Chong took a shower unhurriedly, tidied up, and then got out of the house, and the time was already noon.

When he got out of the door, there was a servant waiting at the door, and when he saw Duan Chong coming out, he hurriedly greeted him and said to Duan Chong: "General Shan, General Ying knows that you are tired on the road, and specially arranged a banquet for you to pick up the wind and wash the dust, if General Shan is almost ready, I will lead you over!" ”

Duan Chong nodded when he heard this, he didn't expect that this General Ying Haiying would suddenly become so polite, it was really a bit of a big surprise to Duan Chong, after all, in Duan Chong's view, this General Ying Haiying didn't embarrass himself, it was not easy, but the reason why General Ying Haiying would treat himself so well was naturally inseparable from Duan Chong's eloquent talk yesterday, which also proved a sentence: A good start can make things much smoother.

Anyway, General Ying Haiying has no malice at the moment, and he naturally wants to go to the banquet, so he directly followed this servant to the hall of the mansion, and in this hall, a table has been set up, and this table is already full of wine and food. Although it is not rich, it is already extremely luxurious for a place like Qianzhou.

And General Ying Haiying was already waiting at the head of the seat, and when he saw Duan Zhong coming, he hurriedly pulled Duan Zhong to sit down: "General Shan, please take a seat!" ”

Duan Chongying sat down, but found that there were only two people at the table, himself and General Ying Haiying, and the two of them ate a table of wine and food, which was inevitable...... It's too extravagant!
