The Daling River flows from northwest to southeast, runs through the north and south of the Xia Kingdom, and obliquely divides the two states of Chu and Yue. If the rebels want to cross the river to attack Bei'an, there are no less than ten ferries to choose from. Where the other party will cross the river from, none of the officers and soldiers in Chuzhou can predict the prophet.

Gu Feng's heart was also bottomless. However, the order given to him by the governor was to drag the rebels to Pak An Province no matter what, and in order to accomplish this task, he had to think hard about how to defend against the enemy.

As a last resort, Gu Feng decided to gather the generals to discuss together. It's better for everyone to brainstorm than for him to bother alone.

…

The official residence of the city, the main hall of a magnificent mansion.

"Rank generals, everyone must know the situation in Chuzhou. Now that the rebels are menacing, what strategies do you have to deal with the enemy, don't hide your secrets. ”

Gu Feng was dressed in military uniform, sitting on the Taishi chair in front of the hall, his voice was a little dry. He was flanked by generals who had come to discuss the military situation, and Han Won was among them.

A black-faced man hesitated for a moment, got up and said, "General, a certain family has some ideas, I don't know whether to talk about it."

This black man is Li Kui, who fought against Feng Shi in Jingyang last time. The last time he surrounded and suppressed the Western Thief, his performance was really not good, so now he seems to be lacking in confidence to speak.

Sure enough, at that moment, there was a brigade general from Bei'an who sneered: "Yo, who should I be, it turned out to be Changshan Li Mouse." What you can say, I'm going to hear it. ”

The one who spoke was a bald man, burly and vicious-looking, named Huang Lang.

The last time Jingyang suppressed the thieves, the generals of Bei'an can be described as outstanding achievements, if it was not for the timely arrival of 50,000 troops, the official army of Chuzhou was afraid that it would be defeated. And Huang Lang has killed countless enemies, and has a high prestige among the generals in Bei'an. Compared with the two, Li Kui was also demoted from Li Laohu to Li Mouse in his eyes.

After Huang Lang's words were finished, other generals also coaxed and belittled Li Kui to worthlessness.

Li Kui suddenly felt that his face was blank, and he was about to sit down. Gu Feng suddenly said angrily:

"The rebels are right in front of you, and you don't think about how to fight the enemy together, but slander each other in front of the generals, what is your intention? Huang Lang, Ben will know that your name is not small, so what? If you don't have a plan to defend yourself against the enemy, don't talk nonsense! ”

Huang Lang saw that Gu Feng was angry, and he didn't dare to collide with him, so he snorted and stopped talking.

Gu Feng said to Li Kui: "Brigade General Li, what do you think, speak boldly." As long as it makes sense, Ben will definitely adopt it. ”

Li Kui was affirmed by Gu Feng, and he got back to his feet and said: "With the trust of General Meng, a certain family will be blunt."

"The last time Jingyang suppressed thieves, the reason why the officers and soldiers fought unfavorably was that in addition to the cunning of the thieves, there were also problems with the establishment of the officers and soldiers."

Huang Lang couldn't help but interrupt: "Heh, what are you?" Dare to question the imperial court system? ”

Gu Feng glared at Huang Lang fiercely, and he had no choice but to shut up again.

Li Kui continued: "Chuzhou has three prefectures and fifteen counties, and each county has a brigade general. The counties will be united, and the county brigades will be separate from each other and will not be subordinate to each other. One family thought that this seemed to be inappropriate. ”

"The brigade generals are all under the command of the general, but there is only one general, and there are twenty or thirty brigade generals, which is very inconvenient to dispatch. Because the brigades were scattered, the armies often failed to receive military orders in time, and even delayed their fighters. ”

Li Mou meant, hoping that the general would divide the officers and soldiers of each county into several divisions, one for each of the four counties, and each department would have a leader to temporarily command the soldiers and horses of the four counties. In this way, it will be much easier for the general to command. ”

Gu Feng thought for a moment, only to feel very reasonable, and immediately praised: "Well said! Li Lu's statement is reasonable and well-founded, do you have any objections? ”

The generals were silent, and they had no opinion. Huang Lang stood up and said to Gu Feng:

"General, I wonder how you deploy your leading forces? A certain family admits that Li Mouse is right, without further ado, you can arrange it quickly. ”

Everyone can hear what Huang Lang means, if this position of leader is not given to him, I am afraid that he will make a mistake.

Gu Feng scolded with a dark face: "What are you anxious about? This position of leader is indispensable for you Huang Lang. ”

Huang Lang sat down satisfied.

In the end, Gu Feng divided the brigades into five divisions: Gu Feng personally led one department, Huang Lang and Wang Biao of Bei'an Prefecture each led one department, Liu Dong of Dongning Mansion led one department, and Han Yuan of Nanping Mansion led one department.

In the Nanping department, Gu Feng originally wanted Li Kui to be in charge, but the generals of the brigades in Bei'an Province disagreed, believing that Li Kui was a general of the defeated army and was not qualified to be a leader.

Gu Feng took into account everyone's opinions, so he had no choice but to hand over this position to Han won. Although Han Yuan is young, he has a good reputation, so Huang Lang and the others have no opinion.

In this way, Li Kui's department was led by Han won.

Han Won doesn't think this is a good thing, to be honest, he is still not optimistic about this big war. Now that Gu Feng handed over the people of the four counties to him, it undoubtedly made him more stressed.

After arranging the various departments, Gu Feng said again: "The rebels are coming, everyone has come up with some specific plans to see how to fight the enemy."

Huang Lang said unashamedly: "What else, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover it!" Let's fight them to the death in this Bei'an Mansion. I still don't believe it, our Chuzhou masters won't be able to beat the grandsons in Yuezhou. ”

The generals of Bei'an have echoed one after another, since the last battle with the Western Thieves, in the eyes of this gang of Qiu Ba, they have been trapped and killed the enemy, but that's it.

Gu Feng said: "Since ancient times, the arrogant army will be defeated, not to mention that we are weak now." Ben will ask you, who of you knows where the rebels crossed the river from? Who knows if they will attack the capital city directly, or if they will attack the prefectures in all directions? ”

Wang Biao from Bei'an Mansion replied: "General, according to the last general, why bother where the thieves cross the river from, we just need to garrison the military mansion city." When the thieves arrived in Bei'an Mansion, if they directly attacked the city, we would just stick to the fortified city and wait for work. It would be better if the rebels divided up and plundered, we could concentrate our forces and destroy them individually! ”

Wang Biao stood in recent years, looked heroic, and his reputation among the generals in Bei'an was second only to Huang Lang.

When Gu Feng heard this, he said bitterly: "This plan can be said to be the most secure, and this general has also considered it, but it can't work."

"The state pastor means that we will drag the rebels in Bei'an Mansion and not let them go deep into the hinterland of Chuzhou. Have you ever thought that if we hold on to the city of Fucheng, the rebels will attack the city and trap us in the city with an army of 50,000, and the other 50,000 troops will go straight to Dongning and Nanping, or directly attack the state city. So what to do? ”

The crowd was dumbfounded, and since they couldn't resist the enemy in the city, did they want to go out of the city to fight?

Han Yuan quietly listened to everyone's discussions, and he didn't say a word. He was sure in his heart that this battle could not be won no matter what, and it was useless to say more.

But Gu Feng noticed the silent Han Yuan and asked:

"The Korean brigade general is silent in thought, presumably there must be some strategy to defend against the enemy?"

Han Yuan hurriedly excused himself: "The general misunderstood, Han Yuan is only shallow in his wisdom, how can there be any good plan."

Gu Feng thought that he was pretending to be modest, and praised to everyone: "The Han Brigade will behead the thief before the battle, and he was given the name by the first emperor, and he was named a viscount before he was weak. If you have any good suggestions, you might as well say it. ”

The implication must be that the won must say something.
