There is no way to know what the commander originally wanted to say to Wu Yong, everyone only knows that Zhu Wu's sudden "provocation" completely angered the commander and the full house, and also completely cut off Wu Yong's plan to ally Zhu Wu.

The generals were furious and scolded Zhu Wu for being shameless, and Zheng Fei also ordered that the Heavenly Dao Army would offer a reward of a copper plate to buy Zhu Wu's head, in order to show their contempt for Zhu Wu.

As a result, although Wu Yong's plan was not implemented in the end, the matter unexpectedly turned into a mobilization meeting, and the generals in the hall were filled with righteous indignation and morale were high because of Zhu Wu's move.

Subsequently, the matter of Zhu Wu was put aside for the time being, and Zheng Fei and the others would continue to have a military meeting.

Zheng Fei said, "Although Wu Junshi's alliance Zhu Wu's plan was not adopted, Wu Junshi still talked about two very critical issues. ”

Wu Yongzheng was suffering from the rejection of his strategy, and when he heard this, he immediately raised his head and looked at Zheng Fei, his eyes were full of gratitude, he understood that this was Zheng Fei saving face for himself.

I only heard Zheng Fei continue, "First, why did the imperial court choose to launch an attack at this time. Wu Junshi really hit the nail on the head, and their purpose was to ....... ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Fei suddenly stopped, and ordered all officers below the brigade level to go out first for the time being, everyone understood that Zheng Fei was going to announce something very important next.

After everyone went out and all the doors and windows of the hall were closed, Zheng Fei nodded to Wu Yong,

Wu Yong said with a heavy face, "Today, the commander urgently summoned everyone here from the station, in addition to telling everyone that the imperial court is about to raise troops to attack, but also to tell everyone bad news, that is...... At most, one more month, maybe just over 20 days, and our grain and grass will be exhausted. ”

The generals were all taken aback when they heard this, and they all looked at Zheng Fei with wide eyes, only to see Zheng Fei also nodded and said that what Wu Yong said was indeed the truth, the generals looked at each other, their faces were full of shock, they only led the training of the troops, and they never worried about the grain and grass, although they all knew that the grain and grass on Jingdong and West Road were insufficient, but they didn't expect it to be so serious!

If there is no food and grass before the big war, it will be a catastrophe for any army ready to fight! No wonder the commander-in-chief would be so nervous to let everyone else out, this news is indeed too serious, once it spreads, the morale of the army will be hit, and the people will fall into panic.

Wu Yong continued, "These days, the commander and we are worried about this matter every day, but unexpectedly, the imperial court chose to start a war at this time, alas, it seems that the court and the central government are not all corrupt officials and vulgar people, they are going to kill us at this critical time." The commander-in-chief also said yesterday that he now suspects that the reason why we can open up a few channels for smuggling grain and grass is probably the intention of the imperial court, the purpose is to make us hungry and starving, not to force us to a dead end and force us to rush into the surrounding states and counties to rob their grain and grass, nor to let us have enough grain and grass to prepare for the big war, and at the same time they can have enough time to mobilize troops and prepare grain and grass. Fortunately, we seized a large amount of grain and grass in Dulong Mountain a month ago, which allowed us to have more than ten days of rations, otherwise I am afraid that Jingxi Road would have been chaotic at this moment! ”

The generals were shocked when they heard this, if this was really intentional by the imperial court, then the imperial court really played a big game of chess, and they were already fully prepared at this moment, and they were probably waiting for the war!

"Strategist, the last general wants to ask, if the imperial court really uses summer grain to deal with us, what will he do?" A voice rang out, and it turned out to be Wang Shi who asked,

Wu Yong nodded and replied, "Everyone should know that the most feared thing when fighting is the siege war, in order to capture the city, the besieging side can only launch an attack without defense at any cost, while the defender can hide behind the battlements on the high city wall and use all kinds of weapons to launch a counterattack condescendingly, even the stones picked up casually on the side of the road can also cause great casualties to the besieging side, according to countless examples throughout the ages, as long as the defenders of the city are properly used, they can often contain the enemy who is several times their own, Even if the besieging army finally defeats the defenders, they will have to pay several times or even more than ten times the casualties of the defenders! ”

"Although the Eastern Crusade Army has 200,000 troops, he doesn't want to fight with us stupidly one city after another, if that's the case, I'm afraid that he won't be able to break through a few cities, and the 200,000 people will be lost! So he's going to find a way to force us out of the city, and force us to fight him in a decisive battle across the vast expanse of land. If I were them, I wouldn't attack any of the cities after the war began, I would just need to light a fire on the summer grain outside the city in front of you, and I would be able to force you out of the city to fight the fire while fighting with me. ”

Wang Shi and the others also looked pale when they heard this, this is indeed not sensational, everyone has nothing to eat, and the food that is about to arrive outside the city will be burned again, and if they continue to defend it, they will starve to death sooner or later, so it is better to rush out and grab food to eat.

Zheng Fei nodded and continued, "Calling everyone here today is to make everyone mentally prepared, and you must not despise the imperial court, although there are many fools like Gao Lian in the court, there are also many talented people who are rich and smart!" This war is completely different from the last time, and we are no longer facing a few defenseless states and counties with empty troops, but a huge empire that is well prepared, far superior to us in terms of troops, financial resources, and food and grass! ”

The generals said in unison, "Yes!" ”

Zheng Fei continued, "So this summer grain is life-saving food for us, and when the summer grain is in hand, we can have enough grain and grass to fight with the imperial court." If the summer grain is not guaranteed, there is no need for the court to do it, and we will starve to death ourselves! ”

"Now there are less than fifteen days before the harvest of summer grain, plus the time of harvesting, there are still less than twenty days in total, and these twenty days are the most sinister and critical twenty days since the establishment of our Heavenly Dao Army. After returning to the garrison, first, they must seize the time to continue to improve their armaments and strengthen the city, and second, they must mobilize all the people to prepare for the upcoming summer grain harvest, and strive to harvest the summer grain in the shortest possible time at any cost. Third, we must firmly guard this news, insist that we still have abundant grain and grass, and those who spread our lack of grain and grass must be severely punished! Fourth...... Get ready to fight to the end! Do you have confidence?! ”

"Yes! Of course! Deng Yuanjue slapped the table and got up and said, "Monk, since I followed the commander, from the beginning of a dozen people to capture Qishan, all the way to the present, which time did I not step on the corpse of an enemy who is several times or even hundreds of times stronger than us to get to where I am today?!" Afraid of a bird! Commander, rest assured, I don't care about others, my Deng Yuanjue's Second Army has no one of the bad seeds, and it will definitely fight to the death! ”

"What do you mean by that? Is it saying that the Heavenly Dao Army is just your second army, an army that is not afraid of death? The first army of the Sprinkle family is not bad! Lu Zhishen slapped the table and pointed at Deng Yuanjue and said,

Deng Yuanjue scolded back, "You also scolded Lao Tzu for being a bald donkey, aren't you also wearing a big bare head?!" ”

"Deng Bald Donkey!"

"Lu Bald Donkey!"

Zheng Fei and everyone immediately shook their heads and smiled bitterly, these two dignified army commanders used to be bickering when they used to meet, but now they are stationed in two places, and when they meet, they are fighting more fiercely like a husband and wife and a newlywed, which is really a ......headache, but everyone understands that these two military commanders are deliberately bickering today, just to let everyone relax in the face of such a dangerous situation, the relationship between them is actually no worse than any two people here, they are both true brothers who can talk and laugh and go to life and death together, It's also a super big friend who doesn't let anyone.

Chao Gai also got up and said, "Commander, rest assured, with the Third Army here, the east of the army can be guaranteed!" ”

Hu Yanzhuo immediately got up and said, "Although Hu Mou is a general of the imperial court, this heart has forever belonged to my Heavenly Dao Army, and the Fourth Army is ready to meet any challenge!" ”

Wang Jin stood up and said, "The Fifth Army swears to live and die with the Heavenly Dao Army!" ”

Suddenly, all the generals present stood up and said in a loud voice, "Swear to live and die with the Heavenly Dao Army!" ”

Zheng Fei looked at the firm and enthusiastic faces, got up and said emotionally, "Zheng also swears to share life and death with you, if you violate this oath, you will be destroyed!" ”

The crowd sat down again,

Zheng Fei smiled and continued, "In addition to this summer grain, Wu Junshi also mentioned a key point, that is Zhu Wu, although we will not cooperate with Zhu Wu, but it is undeniable that Zhu Wu's move to raise troops not only surprised us, but also put a big problem on the imperial court, and may even have destroyed the imperial court's plan to use troops against us." ”

"The military advisor is right, in order to keep the granary in the southeast, the imperial court will not let Zhu Wu wreak havoc in the southeast, now it only depends on how far this Zhu Wu can make trouble, the more he makes trouble, the more beneficial it will be to us, not to mention anything else, once the granary is lost, there will be problems with the supply of grain and grass to deal with our Eastern Expeditionary Army."

Speaking of this, Zheng Fei suddenly smiled, "To be honest, I really hope that Zhu Wu can defeat the imperial army and occupy the southeast, so that the imperial court will definitely lose its strength, and besides, everyone is not a child, they all understand that Zhu Wu's 300,000 guan can't buy my head, and my penny can't move his head, and they all do this just to provoke each other, I really hope that he and I can defeat the imperial army and compete on the battlefield in the future!" ”
