Chapter 1360 Workaround

Lin Feng knew that it was difficult for Lin Xiao to fight on the front line, but there was no time when it was not difficult for the Yan army.

was a little dissatisfied with Lin Xiao's delay in seizing half of the Yue Kingdom.

Today, Lin Xiao, Feng Shihu, Zhao Hongru, Meng Kuo and other generals were recalled from the front line, and there was the idea of changing generals in battle.

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Lin Feng's face hesitated slightly, and asked: "Second brother, you are fighting on the front line, and if you encounter any trouble, you might as well say it, and take advantage of the gathering of all the generals to brainstorm."

"Brother Huang, the eastern part of the country, the Wu region, there are many waters, the Yan army is mostly from the north, and it is the scorching summer, the Yan army has many soldiers who are not accustomed to the water and soil, and there are many sick people in the army, in addition, our army has just adapted to water warfare, the Vietnamese army, the Wu army, and the rebels in Vietnam often attack the Yan army from the waterway, so that the army is unable to defend against it." Lin Xiao said the difficulties he faced, he believed that there were generals in the army who were in their own positions and must have personally experienced their difficulties.

Hearing the sound, Lin Feng hurriedly moved to the sand table, bowed his head and watched in detail, he had considered the problem that Lin Xiao said, but he didn't expect that the Yan army's unsuitability would be serious enough to slow down the pace of the Yan army's march, and even the river and ocean thieves in the waters of the Yue country dared to compete with the sun and the moon with the light of fireflies. Harass the Yan army with the help of terrain.

From the direction of the mountains and rivers in the sand table. In the eastern part of the Yue Kingdom and most areas of the Wu Kingdom, the rivers and lakes are indeed intertwined, which is not conducive to cavalry conquest.

After a moment of silence, Lin Feng raised his head and said to Lin Xiao: "Second brother, to deal with the unyielding enemy army, you must adopt iron-blooded means, since the rivers and lakes in the Wuyue region are intertwined, when the discussion is over, you immediately send a letter to the generals who are ahead, and order the generals to take the lead in collecting ships in the occupied area, and those who violate the order will be dealt with as collaborators.

In addition, heavy rewards were offered to robbers from all over the country, as well as rebels entrenched in rivers and lakes. The destruction of its ships will undoubtedly cut off the arms of those who have committed crimes."

Lin Feng did this, undoubtedly taking a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and the rebels in the eastern part of the Yue Kingdom lost their ships and would not be able to fight against the Yan army.

Taking a heavy report makes it easier for some greedy people to do stupid things, but for Yan Guo, it is very beneficial.

Lin Xiao frowned slightly, stared at Lin Feng and said, "Brother Huang, it is easy to form a hostile relationship with the people of the Yue Kingdom by doing this, especially to make the people of the Yue Kingdom more and more jealous of the Yan Kingdom, which will cause more trouble."

"Your Majesty, what the prince said is true, Yan has always adopted a gentle strategy, and this time it is easy to make the people of Yue more and more united, and the threat faced by Yan is increasing imperceptibly." Hou Mingfeng did not support Lin Feng's tough methods, so that when he hoped to conquer by force, he used Huairou means by the way to gradually gain the trust of the Yue people.

"General Hou, Lord Wang, Zhao thinks that the emperor's proposal is good, no matter what happens in the future, at present, the people of Yue are the enemies of Yan State, and the only way to treat the enemy is to conquer by force, if you invade the other party, you are also ready to adopt a gentle strategy, hoping that the enemy will put down his sword and surrender to Yan State, Zhao feels that this approach is too dangerous." Zhao Hongru is a literati, but he supports Lin Feng's iron-blooded killing.

No one should be merciful to one's enemies, or to those who have harmed their own lives, at any time.

Otherwise, the harm caused by mercy will be either death or injury to one's own person.

Since the Yan army has paid the price in the battle, it is time to learn a lesson, and it must not rely on the Huairou strategy to vainly try to change the other party.

"Your Majesty, the last general supports General Zhao's proposal, before erasing the idea that the people of the three kingdoms of Wu, Yue and Chu are loyal to their respective kings, they must be killed, they must be beaten, at least, before they return to the Yan Kingdom, there is no need to show mercy." Feng Shihu stepped out of the queue and arched his hand to Lin Feng.

At this time, Lin Feng's attention shifted to Ju Wentai, Feng Yi, and Meng Kuo, and asked, "General Ju, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, the Yue army, and the Wu army have not yet disarmed their forces, if the Huairou strategy is adopted, the soldiers of the two countries will think that the Yan State is weak, and they will become more and more arrogant. Until the tiger pulls out its teeth and cuts its claws, it is always a tiger, and it must not be treated as a cat." Ju Wentai took the lead in expressing his attitude and resolutely supported Lin Feng's idea.

"Your Majesty, the last general feels that it is time to take a two-pronged approach, suppressing it by force on the one hand, and using the Huairou strategy on the other hand to split and disintegrate the Wuyue army and the people." Feng Yi suggested adopting a gentle strategy against the people, and the stubborn resistance of Wu Yue would adopt the method of chasing and attacking fiercely, no matter what, Wu Yue's army must not be allowed to unite with the people, otherwise, the Yan army would face more trouble.

"Your Majesty, the last general proposed to use force to suppress it, and the King of Jin has failed to take Huairou measures, and he must be killed with iron and blood against the stubborn enemy army!" Meng Kuo said firmly.

Lin Feng probably knew the generals' proposals and attitudes, turned around and walked to the main seat to sit, raised his hand to signal the generals to sit down, and said: "King Jin's performance on the Wuyue battlefield is remarkable, however, there should not be a woman's kindness, General Ju is right, there are no tigers who have lost their claws, they should not be treated as cats, otherwise, they will be killed by the other party and die in vain!"

The generals sat down, and the king of Jin sat at the front of the left side, looked at Lin Feng, and arched his hand: "Brother Huang, rest assured, the concubine will return to the battlefield of Wuyue, and will never give the Wuyue army a chance to breathe, but there are many sick people in the army, and the younger brother proposes to temporarily order the army to rest and recuperate, and wait until the hot summer has passed, regroup, and attack Wuyue, especially the final attack on Yue."

Lin Xiao expressed his inner thoughts, hoping to let the army in Yue rest and recuperate. Thus reducing casualties.

Lin Feng's heart is like a mirror, the temperature in Wuyue and Yue is humid and hot in summer, and the army fights in the sun, it is easy to get sick and suffer from heat stroke, and even suffer from dysentery, which makes the Yan army suffer from illness.

However, Lin Feng has his own plan, if he annexes the Yue State before the winter, the south is independent and complete, and the only vassal state that is not invaded by foreign enemies is the Wu State, which will be encroached on step by step in winter, and in the spring of the next year, he will have the ability to quickly annihilate the Wu State, and then wave his army to the south, and wipe out the scarred Chu State in one fell swoop.

Without a moment of hesitation, Lin Feng said loudly: "Lin Xiao, time is not waiting, the march should not give up the opportunity because of the hot weather, pass on my will, recently fought in Wuyue, choose the method of day and night, in addition, send guards to the divine capital, let Yu Zeqiong send a large number of fresh cattle and sheep, every day must ensure that the army soldiers have good food.

If you are fighting in the south, you may also buy fish at a high price, and keep the rudeness of the Yan country and the lightness of Wu Yue in the food, before the end of autumn, each Yan army's daily food must be guaranteed to be one or two silver, as long as the food is improved and the physical fitness of the soldiers is improved, they will definitely be able to adapt to the southern environment."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao stared at Lin Feng and said, "Brother Huang, there are hundreds of thousands of Yan troops in Vietnam, and the daily cost of one tael of silver is hundreds of thousands of silver taels, isn't it too extravagant, before the end of autumn, it may cost tens of millions of taels of silver, not counting the monthly military salary!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this cost is not small. Moreover, the soldiers under the tent of King Jin were suddenly given an increase in food treatment, and the other soldiers were afraid that they would not accept it." Hou Mingfeng also opposed Lin Feng's proposal, compared to the soldiers of other vassal states, the food of the Yan army was good enough, and during the march to war, there were three meals a day, and there was often a sufficient meal of meat.

Yan State in the northern territory is so vast, it is unceremonious to say that cattle and sheep are raised in the northern grasslands, except for a few as farming cattle, the rest of the cattle and sheep are basically sent from the north in groups and are used as food for soldiers.

Of course, the abundance of flesh and good food did allow the Yan army to have a burly body and maintain strong combat effectiveness.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng waved his hand slightly and asked Lin Xiao: "Second brother, fighting in the Yue Kingdom and conquering the city, you should get a lot of silver taels and grain, right?" Compared to other vassal states, isn't it much extra."

"Brother Huang is right, the country of Yue is indeed rich, the granary is full of grain, and the treasury is full of gold and silver. Build an ordinary city, and you can get abundant food, millions of money, and more!" Lin Xiao bowed his head and agreed with Lin Feng's words.

The climate in the south is warm, the water is developed, the grain is high, even a few years ago, there was a drought, but after several years of bumper harvest, it has already recovered, and the country is close to the Yangtze River, the business is developed, the tax burden is a lot, and the treasury is very much silver.

"Since the granary, treasury, and money and grain of the Yue State are extremely large, what if the Yan army spends hundreds of thousands of silver dollars every day, after seizing the city, it will offset the money and grain consumed by the Yan State and occupy the city under its control, which is still beneficial to the Yan State, isn't it?

What's more, if you capture a large city, you will get more money and food, in addition to the daily consumption, there will definitely be a surplus, and in addition, the abundant food will definitely improve the fighting spirit and cohesion of the whole army, and it will be more able to serve the Yan Kingdom, isn't it good to kill more birds in one fell swoop?" Lin Feng said his inner calculations, and he didn't have the slightest idea of cherishing money and food.

"The courtiers are stupid, and Emperor Xie is instructing." Lin Xiao thought for a moment and learned that Lin Feng's words were right, if the Yan army continued to attack the city, it would indeed be harmless.

Lin Feng bowed slightly, his gaze swept over the generals, and finally, his gaze focused on Zhao Hongru, and said, "General Zhao, lead your ironclad infantry to go to Yue with the King of Jin, I hope you will not live up to my expectations."

"Your Majesty, the last general, the last general...."Zhao Hongru looked hesitant and stammered, unlike in the past, he simply agreed to Lin Feng's order.

"General Zhao, have something to say!" Lin Fengdao.

Zhao Hongru got up from the cushion, moved to the center of the study, and said: "Your Majesty, not long ago, Han Xiangzi attacked the last general's army, resulting in a lot of casualties among the ironclad infantry.

Hearing this, Lin Feng fell into deep thought, most of the generals of the Yan army in foreign conquests must be reported for their flaws, from Lin Xiao, Xing Yike personally led the troops into the south and attacked the soldiers, and the Yue Kingdom has been able to prove.

At this moment, Zhao Hongru wants to continue to lead the troops to garrison the south, looking for a good opportunity to lead the ironclad infantry to fight against Han Xiangzi and avenge the death of his brothers.

Lin Feng supported Zhao Hongru's approach, but now is not a good opportunity to lead troops to attack Han Xiangzi, and laughed loudly: "General Zhao, you will lead the troops to go to Yue with the King of Jin, on the one hand, cooperate with the King of Jin to seize the Yue Kingdom, on the other hand, absorb the surrendered Yue army in the battle, rebuild the ironclad cavalry infantry, and use troops against the Chu State in the future, I will hand over Han Xiangzi to you."

In the study, Zhao Hongru heard Lin Feng's words and did not refuse again. He bowed down and said: "Thank the emperor for his love, and the last general will go to Yue with the king of Jin, and he will definitely live up to the emperor's love."

The ironclad infantry was heavily damaged by Han Xiangzi and the elephant soldiers, and the number of soldiers under Zhao Hongru's account was limited. Zhao Hongru understood that if he couldn't quickly absorb new forces and improve the scale of the ironclad infantry, it would be a vicious battle against Han Xiangzi, and the ironclad infantry might not be able to defeat the Xuanjia soldiers.

Follow Lin Feng's instructions to go to Yueguo, gradually complete the scale of the ironclad infantry in the battle, restore the previous combat effectiveness, and meet Han Xiangzi on a narrow road, Zhao Hongru is confident that he will avenge the dead ironclad infantry.

Without refusing Lin Feng's proposal again, Zhao Hongru bowed his head and said: "The emperor can rest assured, the last general will not disgrace his life and fulfill the emperor's grand wish with the prince."

Lin Feng was very satisfied, sat on the soft couch, and motioned for Zhao Hongru to sit down.

At this time, he continued: "Xiong Wu, Xiong Kuohai returned to the Chu State, Zhao Jun, Heng Bangchang have followed my will and led the troops to take over the six northern counties of the Chu State, but Xiong Wu lost the six northern counties for no reason, and he must be unwilling.

At present, even Xiong Kuohai and Xiong Zhan support Xiong Wu and jointly deal with Xiong Heng, I believe that Xiong Wu will easily regain the throne soon, and next, he will definitely take advantage of the Yan army's attention to focus on Yueguo, take advantage of the emptiness of the six northern counties, send Han Xiangzi, Xiong Zhan and others, and lead the troops to expel Zhao Jun and Heng Bangchang.

Hou Mingfeng, you personally lead 100,000 iron horsemen to the south and completely control the six northern counties, in addition, remember to adopt a balanced strategy between Xiong Wu and Xiong Heng, and you must not let the civil strife in Chu end early."

Xiong Kuohai, when Xiong Zhan was in danger in the Chu State, he chose to put aside his hatred with Xiong Wu, unanimously quell the civil strife, and ensure the stability of the Xiong family, which was far beyond Lin Feng's expectations.

Therefore, Yan must implement a balanced strategy between Xiong Wu and Xiong Heng, at present, Xiong Wu is strong, after Hou Mingfeng leads his troops south, he can send Zhao Jun's cavalry to attack Xiong Wu, if Xiong Heng gradually becomes stronger, he can send cavalry to unite with Xiong Wu and strike Xiong Heng hard.

However, according to Lin Feng's estimate, if the implementation of the Yue State goes smoothly for the time being, and Xiong Heng is not yet strong, the Yan army will fully deploy to use force against the Chu State.

Hearing this, Hou Mingfeng comprehended Lin Feng's thoughts, and it was incumbent on him to strike at the Chu State, if Xiong Wu was allowed to recapture the six northern counties, it would not be beneficial to the Yan State.

At present, a divided Chu State is more conducive to the Yan State to fight, and he bowed his head slightly: "The emperor can rest assured, the end will make Xiong Wu unhappy!"

He went to the six counties of Chu State, and there were 100,000 iron horsemen under his account, and there were two generals of Zhao Jun and Heng Bangchang, one attack and one defense, and it was easy to implement a balanced strategy against Chu State.

Once the state of Chu fell into Xiong Wu, the Xiong Heng brothers competed, and then wanted to work together to fight against the Yan State, which had become a fool's dream.

In the study, Meng Kuo, Feng Shihu, Ju Wentai, Feng Yi, Zhao Hongru, and Hou Mingfeng were all arranged by Lin Feng to wait, and couldn't help but look up at Lin Feng.

Feng Yi got up from the cushion and asked, "Your Majesty, what are the arrangements for the last general and the others?"

"Yue Guo, of course, Yue Guo, Er and other four generals, quickly gather troops, starting from the southern Aocheng, and I will sweep the land, from the south of the Yue country, and strive to annex the Yue country before the end of autumn, and weaken the elite of the Wu country." Lin Feng's gaze swept across the time and said loudly.

Feng Yi bowed slightly, leading the troops to fight couldn't be better.

Feng Shihu, Meng Kuo, Ju Wentai, didn't say much, and obeyed Lin Feng's arrangement.
