At present, the soldiers of the Zhou army have not yet reached the boundary of Yangzhou, the eastern capital, and Yangzhou is guarded by the Jianwu army stationed in Tianchang in front of Yangzhou, and there are unobstructed canals and rivers in the back, and the defense is well-founded, and the retreat is worry-free.

At the beginning of the war, Li Hongyi, the king of Yan, as the highest governor of Yangzhou, received the order of local defense from Nanjing City, and was naturally ambitious.

But enthusiasm has never been sustainable, ten years have passed, half a month has passed, it has been more than a month now, the war has been in Shouzhou, Chuzhou, Haozhou and other western state cities, the Great Zhou has not a soldier at all to cross Yangzhou, these soldiers are naturally slowly tired, some can not hold back, three times twice to the king of Yan to ask for help, Li Hongyi smiled and declined the request to fight, he himself is still in good spirits, every three or five will take the guards to patrol Yangzhou on horseback.

On the evening of 3 November, when the news came that Chuzhou, a neighbor to the west, was "once again surrounded by heavy troops, and Shouzhou was rumored to have been broken," Li Hongyi urgently convened a group of senior military members, and the participants were not only "senior adviser" Song Qiqiu, but also Tang Hao, who had stayed in the eastern capital, and Yi Wen, the envoy of the Jianwu Army, who had rushed to the scene.

Jianwu military ruled Tianchang County in Xiongzhou. Xiongzhou originally belonged to Yangzhou, after the Southern Tang Dynasty changed the Jiangdu to the eastern capital, Xiongzhou was established, the military army was built and the festival was built, and Hailing and Xinghua counties belonged to Taizhou, only governed Liuhe, Tianchang and other counties, and its essence was to protect the eastern capital. When the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty moved west to Nanjing, the military strength under the rule of the Jianwu Army was greatly reduced, and now there are less than 7,000 soldiers to defend it.

After taking a seat in the study room of the left-behind mansion, Li Hongyi first asked everyone to analyze the possibility of the city of Shouzhou, this issue is not much controversy, Tang Hao and Yi Wen both think that this is the enemy's trick, it is impossible for Shouzhou to last only a month before the city is broken, Song Qiqiu, who has always been as calm as water, finally spoke, but categorically asserted: "Unless Lin Feng's head falls to the ground, Shouzhou may fall!" ”

The three people who had always been accustomed to seeing Song Qiqiu disdain Lin Feng's demeanor were a little surprised, and couldn't help but stare at this Song Gong.

Song Qiqiu sipped with a blank look.

"Song Gong should be the person who knows Lin Feng the most thoroughly, Song Gong's opinion must be right!" Li Hongyi made a summary and turned to another topic, "Then should my Yangzhou combat strategy be adjusted?" ”

Yi Wen, who looked dry and thin, took the lead in speaking: "My subordinates think that we should send troops to Chuzhou at the right time, gather 20,000 elite soldiers, and respond to the army of the King of Qi in the city, encircle and annihilate the enemy between Qingliu Pass and Chuzhou, which can instantly reverse the situation and translocate the attack and defense!" ”

Tang Hao groaned slightly, and said softly: "I have carefully analyzed the behavior of the Zhou army in the past month, although the enemy generals Hou Zhang and Zhao Kuangyin who led the Qingliu Pass are not famous, they act strangely and unpredictable, and I am afraid that Chuzhou has become a 'city' for them to besiege the city and send reinforcements!" ”

Song Qiqiu touched the lid of the tea cup, attracted everyone's attention, and said slowly: "The old man boldly speculates here that the overall war trend and success in Huainan and Jiangbei are only tied to one person and one city!" The city is Shouzhou City, and the people are Lin Feng! ”

The three of them were even more surprised, what happened to Song Qiqiu today, who admired Lin Feng so abnormally?

"King Qi had previously revealed a war prediction, how the Three Kingdoms would respond to the attack on the Tang Dynasty. Now, the time, place, and overall situation of several battles are basically as predicted before, although the old man doesn't want to say it himself, but after thinking about it for this time, things can already be speculated, and the war prediction should be exactly what Lin Feng proposed! Qi Songqiu still spoke calmly, but there was also a hint of fluctuation and sigh between his words, "Lin Feng has always acted by taking one step at a time to see multiple steps, and even burying multiple steps. If this prediction is made by him, then he entered the master in advance, cleaned up Shouzhou, trained the township soldiers, and accumulated grain and grass are all prepared for this battle, then we have to stand on another perspective to look at the war in the world, and even have to boldly imagine how Lin Feng will turn defeat into victory in this situation, and lay the foundation for the unparalleled victory of the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop! ”

The other three stood up abruptly and stared at this Song Gong in surprise. This, that's too exaggerated, right? Hundreds of thousands of troops from the Three Kingdoms attacked Datang at the same time, and Lin Feng was still likely to turn the tide and turn the clouds and rain on his own?

"I have to admit that Lin Feng is the only junior I can't see through! Looking at his past deeds, his open hands are not obvious, but his moves are sharp, and there are many secret hands, which can often make a decision in one fell swoop! Since he has made such predictions, there must be a way to deal with them and win. So, what will he do in the current situation? In the old man's opinion, he will definitely wait, and even create a suitable time to carry out his earth-shattering reversal plan! Song Qiqiu's tone gradually accelerated, paused the teacup on the desk, leaned slightly, and continued, "Actually, looking at it calmly, we were all a little frightened by the situation of the Three Kingdoms attacking together, and underestimated our strength!" Wu Yue and the Southern Han Dynasty, the small country of Yuer, even if the Tang Dynasty failed miserably in the south, it was just a loss of the two places of Quanzhang that were originally in the same bed and had different dreams, which is equivalent to returning to the situation at the beginning of last year, no big deal! ”

Speaking of this, Song Qiqiu couldn't help but shake his head lightly and sighed lightly: "If Lin Feng had speculated about the current situation before launching the Battle of Chu and the Battle of Quanzhang, then even the old man would have to respect this young man, even a little fear!" ”

The other three couldn't help but sit down in distraction at the same time, their eyes were confused, their hands and feet trembled slightly, a little Lin Feng, can he have such a god? However, the facts are there, Lin Feng took over the Chu State as soon as he made a move, and then took Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, Fuzhou, and Chaozhou, first to solve the worries of the western part of the Tang Dynasty, and then go to the east to trouble, so that the Tang Dynasty expanded its strategic space in the east and west at the same time.

"Lin Feng, Lin Feng ......" Tang Hao and Yi Wen couldn't help but read softly at the same time.

Song Qiqiu put away the smile on his face, got up and bowed his hand to Li Hongyi, raised his voice and said: "His Royal Highness King Yan, if you follow this line of thinking, in fact, our Datang only needs to go all out to deal with the 200,000 Zhou troops in the north!" And Shouzhou, where Lin Feng is in charge alone, can contain at least nearly half of the people, and if the remaining 100,000 Zhou troops still want to sweep through my Huainan and Jiangbei, it is purely a dream! The old man now guesses that at this time, Zhou Jun is only afraid that he has been greatly injured under the city of Shouzhou, but he is just holding on to a strong posture, but the mainland is already at the end of the strong crossbow, what we need to do now is three words! ”

Li Hongyi's eyes lit up, he got up and stared at Song Qiqiu tightly, and Tang Hao and Yi Wen also hurriedly stood up.

"The first word is wait! From now on, we in Yangzhou must accumulate strength, stick to the city defense, do not act rashly, do not act rashly, and wait for the opportunity that Lin Feng longs for! Song Qiqiu's beard flew up with his head, and he said loudly, "The second word is to choose!" If we want to seize that opportunity, we must have elite soldiers and strong generals, not only to secretly select elite soldiers for intensive training, but also to recruit outstanding generals in the army and to the world, so that it is possible to lead the team to successfully counterattack! ”

"Song Gong is really a god!" Li Hongyi slapped his thigh, took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Song Qiqiu, and said with a smile, "I have visited the army these days, and I have specially found two good generals that the soldiers admire in private: one is named Feng Dan, who has participated in Lin Feng's special training, and is a person from our Jianwu Army; The other is Chai Kehong, who is now in Changzhou. ”

"Dare to ask Your Highness, Chai Kehong is the son of Chai Zaiyong, the former Wu Desheng Army's envoy, who once went to Sizhou to assassinate the history, and later returned to the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Longwu Army?" Yi Wen stepped forward and asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yes, it is! He had a very good reputation among the Yangzhou defenders and the Jianwu army! Li Hongyi explained excitedly.

The other three nodded in unison.

Chai Kehong is also regarded as the No. 1 legend in the army, after his father was a general, he was the Xuanzhou inspection envoy at first. When he first arrived in Xuanzhou, he didn't even care about the collapsed city wall, and later listened to the persuasion of others, so he set up a large camp, and waited until the invasion of Wu Yue's army, Xuanzhou Shun lì was preserved, so the merit was moved to Sizhou to assassinate the history. However, Chai Kehong's human nature is heroic, easy to give, not industry, so his family is often poor, and he was dismissed to Changzhou Longwu Army Duyu Marquis because of the delay in the year-end military assessment due to alcohol.

"Your Highness is the real thing first, the old man really got an axe today!" Song Qiqiu bowed in respect.

"Song Gong praised it!" Li Hongyi's face bloomed with a smile, and then he slapped the desk and said loudly, "I'll send a letter to my uncle later, and ask Chai Kehong to come over!" Song Gong, what is the third word? ”

"Rob!" Song Qiqiu suddenly lowered his voice and said, "We have selected the generals and trained the soldiers, and when the time comes, we will take the lead and seize the initiative in the war in Jiangbei and Huainan into our hands!" ”

Rob? That's a bit of an inauthentic way, right? However, as long as Song Qiqiu's guess is reliable, once Yangzhou succeeds in counterattacking and raiding, the banner of the Winged King will be carried, and everyone's great credit will be indispensable at that time, and Yangzhou will definitely be the most popular!

The smiles on the faces of the remaining three slowly converged, looked at each other, and slowly sat down, Yi Wen arched his hand and asked, "Ask Song Gong below, when should that opportunity be?" ”

Song Qiqiu also sat down slowly, picked up the teacup, but did not drink it, turned his eyes to look out of the dark window, and said softly: "Before dawn, there will always be a period of special darkness, but it is about to usher in a bright moment!" ”

Song Qiqiu took a sip of tea, but it was too cold, he spit it back lightly, and continued to whisper: "However, that moment is also the most difficult, as long as we don't lose hope, Shouzhou City doesn't lose hope, we will definitely wait for a turnaround!" ”

Wish? Li Hongyi and the three of them looked out of the window at the same time and did not answer again.

At this moment, thousands of miles away on the top of Luliang Mountain in Jiangzhou, a group of people are also engaged in a big debate around the word "hope".
