Lin Chengfei left those soldiers, shallow and deep to the stone tower, this is a temporary tower, very strong, on the top of the tower, there are several archers, around the tower, there are more than a dozen sturdy guards, these guards are not ordinary soldiers, but the strongest tiger guards under Shang Zhongli.

This is Shang Zhongli's command post.

Shang Zhongli is certainly terrifying in martial arts, but he is the main general of the first army after all, and the black flag of Wei is the most terrifying dark yamen in the world, even if Shang Zhongli doesn't care, his subordinates can't help but think about his safety.

There are more than a dozen Tiger Warriors protecting it, and that is an extremely powerful piece of armor.

Lin Cheng flew into the tower, this tower has three floors, and on the first floor there are more than a dozen herald captains, waiting for Shang Zhongli's orders at any time, and then passing the order down.

These heralds were the best heralds in the army, and they were extremely fast on foot, and every order of Shang Zhongli was carried out by the generals of the battalions they passed on.

Fortunately, although the Wei army launched an attack on the first night of heavy snowfall, it was trapped in the heavy snow for the past two days and failed to attack, which also allowed these herald captains to get a temporary rest.

When Lin Chengfei came in, half of the herald captains were still leaning back in their chairs and dozing, and the rest of the herald captains were also napping, and they didn't sleep, and when they saw Lin Chengfei coming in, they immediately cheered up, and they wanted to wake up their sleeping companions, but Lin Chengfei waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Let them rest for a while." But at least three people should be awake and on call at any time! ”

After he finished speaking, he went up to the second floor, which was also very simple, with a topographical map hanging on the wall and a sand table in the middle.

When he went up to the third floor, he saw Shang Zhongli standing by the small window of the tower, dressed in military uniform, with his hands behind his back, looking out.

The tower is built at a relatively high point in Lunsan, and standing on the third floor, you can see the situation at the foot of the mountain from a distance.

Lin Chengfei walked behind Shang Zhongli, looked at the heavy figure like a mountain by the window, his eyes showed awe, and he didn't speak immediately, as if he didn't want to interrupt Shang Zhongli's silence.

……

"How's the news from the north?" Shang Zhongli didn't look back, but asked calmly, "What is Wang Yanping doing now?" ”

"Ten days ago, after the northern barbarians broke through the Yanmen Pass, they fell into an ambush set by General Wang, and suffered heavy losses. Lin Chengfei said slowly: "General Wang is now stepping up the construction of defensive ...... in the Duma River!" ”

Shang Zhongli sighed and said: "Although it won't play a big role, Yanping has also been quite the essence of the old man over the years, and in a hurry, the fortifications built should also be able to block the strong impact of the Northern Barbarian cavalry." If we can hinder the Northern Barbarian cavalry, we can fight with them, and we can lose some troops less......! ”

"General Wang is under a lot of pressure." Lin Chengfei said slowly: "The grain and grass on their side is not as sufficient as ours, in addition to dealing with the Northern Barbarians, he also has to leave troops to garrison in Gaoyang County, where the descendants of the Northern Barbarians are located in the two counties, and there are 10,000 garrisons watching. After a pause, he said: "General Wang Feige sent a military report, but one of them wanted to ask the holy general for a matter!" ”

"What?"

"Now their army is short of food, but many Lu estates in Zhongshan and Yangping counties are hoarding a lot of grain and grass. General Wang sent people to consult with them, and at first asked them to take out some grain and grass to supplement military supplies, but the owners of the Lu manor refused. Later, General Wang had no choice but to send someone to go again, willing to make an IOU and borrow food for emergency needs...... But the gang still refused, and claimed that each of those grains was the queen's grain and grass, and if they wanted to transfer grain from the manor, no one could take a grain unless there was the queen's will! ”

When Shang Zhongli heard this, his face turned gloomy.

Lin Chengfei paused for a moment before continuing: "General Wang reported in the military newspaper that now there is not much grain and grass left in the Northeast Army, and once the Northern Barbarians attack again, they are only afraid that they will be busy with the battle and will not even have the opportunity to raise military rations, so while the Northern Barbarians are temporarily resting, they must replenish the grain and grass. Otherwise, once the time comes, once the Northern Barbarians fight, there will be no supply of food and grass, and the soldiers will not be able to fight at all......! ”

"What is he going to do?" Shang Zhongli asked lightly.

"General Wang is ready to send people to forcibly conscript." Lin Chengfei said: "At an extraordinary time, I have to act like this. General Wang also said that if he did not die after the war, he would be held accountable and he would bear it alone. It's just that he was worried that doing so would affect the holy general, so he asked the holy general for instructions in the military newspaper ......! ”

"Don't care about the old man, how can the old man be afraid of being implicated." Shang Zhongli sneered: "Yanping's policy is for the country, who dares to hold him responsible?" You reply quickly, let him do it boldly. ”

"But ......!" Lin Chengfei frowned slightly: "The Lu manors in the two counties are as numerous as cattle hairs, and they are extremely powerful, if they are forcibly requisitioned, what if those people make trouble?" ”

Shang Zhongli said neatly: "Whoever dares to make trouble and take the lead in killing a group will bear all the consequences." Now when the country is in crisis, the old man wants to see who dares to fall into the ground. Although there are many people in the Lu Manor, but after all, it cannot compete with the regular army of the Northeast Army, although you let Yanping speak, if those people in the Lu Manor dare to drag me back in Daqing, then they will ignore the northern barbarians and kill those people first! ”

His eyes were sharp, his killing intent was strong, and he was extremely decisive.

"The Admiral understands." Lin Chengfei bowed down and said, "The last general will go down and reply!" ”

"You tell Yanping that at least two months to block the Northern Barbarians, in these two months, if he dies in battle, let his deputy general be on top, the deputy general will die in battle, let the partial general be on top, no matter what, within two months, even if there is only one soldier left, he will fight to the end." Shang Zhongli said slowly: "When there is an external enemy, if there is any internal obstacle, sweep it away, and you are not afraid of killing!" ”

"Yes!" Lin Chengfei arched his hand and then frowned: "Holy General, let General Wang hold on for two months, could it be ...... The holy general thinks that the Wei army will retreat in two months? ”

He was still a little confused.

Although he knew that as long as the Wei State withdrew its troops, the Northern Barbarians would not dare to fight alone, and they would definitely retreat, but why did Shang Zhongli conclude that the Wei army would retreat within two months?

Although it is now in the stalemate stage, the situation of Qingjun is really bad.

The northern barbarians attacked, the Qing army was trapped on both sides, and the southern line held on to Longshan, but before this heavy snow fell, the Wei army's offensive had been very fierce, and the two fortifications were destroyed, if there was no snow, the third fortification might have been destroyed in less than ten days and half a month.

At that time, it will be time for the real mountain Armageddon to begin the struggle for control of Rhone Mountain.

Although the Wei army suffered heavy casualties, its main cavalry force was not hit at all, and the Wei army was fully prepared for this battle, and grain and grass were continuously hoarded from China to Nanyang Pass, and then transferred to the front line.

Even if the Wei people could not capture Longshan for a while, but their main force was not damaged, and the grain and grass were sufficient, so it was impossible to retreat within two months if such a stalemate continued.

Shang Zhongli was silent for a moment, and did not answer, but asked: "Yanping has 10,000 troops stationed in Gaoyang County, can the descendants of the Northern Barbarians over there have any changes?" ”

Lin Chengfei immediately said: "When the Northern Barbarian cavalry was still attacking Yanmen Pass, Gaoyang County began to make some changes. However, General Wang made a quick decision and ordered the local county guards and local county officials to invite dozens of patriarchs of the descendants of the Northern Barbarians to Anguo City on the pretext of discussing affairs. Now those patriarchs have been placed under house arrest in Anguo City...... Although there was some commotion among those descendants of the Northern Barbarians, it is estimated that they did not dare to act rashly. Although there are more than 100,000 descendants of the Northern Barbarians in the two counties, they ...... More than 100 years have passed, they have been farming for a living, and they have long since lost the ability of the Northern Barbarians to ride horses and shoot arrows, just ordinary people, and the government has implemented the 'sword hunting order' in these two counties, and they have no weapons except for the sickles and hoes that plough the land, and they have no weapons to make trouble......! ”

In the previous dynasty, the Qi State destroyed the Northern Barbarians, and the remnants of the Northern Barbarians fled to the extreme north, but a large number of old and weak women and children were captured by the Qi army, and Emperor Qi Yong finally placed these Northern Barbarian captives in the two counties in the east of Gaoyang County, which was also an extremely desolate place at that time.

After all, it was the Northern Barbarians, although it was accepted, but the Qi Imperial Court naturally took a series of preventive measures, and the purpose was ultimately to educate these Northern Barbarian captives into Chinese atomic people.

In addition to sending a large number of literati to teach their children to learn the Central Plains dialect and etiquette, these Northern Barbarian captives were divided into nearly thirty small villages according to their ethnic groups.

There were many northern barbarian tribes, and among the captives, there were all ethnic groups, and there were as many as two or three thousand people, but only a few dozen people were few.

If there are few people, several ethnic groups are combined, and if the ethnic group is large, it is divided into several villages, from which people are selected to be highly respected and appointed as the patriarch according to the customs of the Northern Barbarians.

The people of Qi know very well that if they want to educate these rough people, they can only take it step by step, and they can't be in a hurry.

In addition to all kinds of ideological brainwashing, in addition, the fertility of the northern barbarians was also restricted, so as not to develop and reproduce too many of them, and the "sword hunting order" was implemented to prevent their riots.

The so-called "sword hunting order" is to prohibit the Northern Barbarians from owning knives, bows and arrows, and even prohibit the Northern Barbarian villages from owning blacksmith shops.

Over the past 100 years, the Northern Barbarians have also had several small riots, but they were all quelled instantly, in recent decades, the descendants of the Northern Barbarians have been extremely calm, the sun rises, the sun sets, and they have long been accustomed to this way of life of the Central Plains people.

Although at this very moment, the military is also wary of the descendants of the Northern Barbarians will take the opportunity to make changes, but deep down, they are not very afraid, today's descendants of the Northern Barbarians are just ordinary people, although the physical physique still retains the blood and strength of the Northern Barbarians, but there are no weapons in their hands, let alone training, it is impossible to fight with the well-trained regular army.
