Next, Lan Jing'an sent an order to all the generals stationed in Xiangyang, asking them to come to the general's mansion to gather. At the same time, she also discussed with Zhang Xun, the chief of Xiangyang, how to ensure the military food and grass of the Xiangyang cadres to the greatest extent.

In dealing with military and political affairs, Lan Jing'an naturally didn't want Xie Weining, the prince of the Xia Kingdom, to know. She ordered someone to find a remote courtyard in the General's Mansion, which was said to be convenient for the two to rest and protect the two, but in fact, she sent troops to put the two under house arrest.

Fortunately, Xie Weining did not resist and obediently stayed in his yard, saving Lan Jing'an from worrying.

In the evening, according to the agreed time, Lan Jing'an took Biluan and Zhang Xun to meet all the generals stationed in Xiangyang in the main hall of the General's Mansion.

But only about half of the generals came on time. The most exaggerated thing is that in the infantry department, except for a military marquis, not a single senior general came.

Lan Jing was very unhappy in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face. It's just that there is a stiff tone in the words: "This division ordered you to come here today to discuss the matter of resisting the enemy army and guarding Xiangyang." When I ordered the order, the scouts should have shown the summons printed on me and Marshal Xiao to the battalion headquarters. Why are there still generals who have not arrived? ”

Lan Jing'an said as he looked at Sun Wei, the highest-ranking lieutenant among these generals. Sun Wei unified the ministry independently, with more than 1,000 people. Moreover, the Yue cavalry he commanded can ride and shoot well, and has always been the vanguard of the army, and it is also the top priority to cooperate with other departments to control the situation on the battlefield. With Sun Wei's identity, it was impossible for him not to know why the others didn't come.

Sun Wei really took a step forward and replied thoughtfully: "Please forgive me." General Pang is leading people to patrol the camp, and it is estimated that the other battalion headquarters will wait for General Pang to finish his tour before rushing over. ”

When Lan Jing'an heard something, there was something she didn't understand, it was obvious that Pang Tu was stumbling on her. As soon as she arrived in Xiangyang at noon today, she sent out the scouts, and Pang Tu must have known the news for a long time. Why don't you patrol the camp early or don't patrol the camp at night, but she has to come to this show when she summons everyone. He clearly doesn't take himself seriously.

Lan Jing'an remained silent and said solemnly: "Maybe General Pang didn't receive my edict on the way to the camp, and it may not be known." Where are the scouts? Now I will go and inform the battalion headquarters and General Pang, and order him to come to the general's mansion to gather as soon as possible. If it does not arrive within an hour, it will be dealt with by military law! ”

The scout made a promise and took the order. The generals present were a little surprised, they had heard that Wan Ping, a female general in the northwest, was in charge of an army alone, with more than 10,000 men, and the order was forbidden, and the command was determined.

But it was the first time they had seen a woman giving orders in the army, and although she was the chief commander and had the double approval of Marshal Xiao and General Lu, it still made them feel both surprised and apprehensive, and they didn't know if Lan Jing'an could afford to take on the affairs of an army.

Lan Jing'an invited everyone who had already arrived in the hall to sit down and inquire in detail about the current situation. When she heard Sun Wei say that now she found out that Dayong had 70,000 or 80,000 troops on the other side, she couldn't help frowning. It seems that Yuwen Moyuan is taking out the rest of his family resources and is going to fight to the death with the cadres in Xiangyang.

Dayong claimed to have a million heroes back then, but in fact, the real available troops should be about 800,000. On the battlefield of Baiyuguan, 100,000 were wiped out by the Xia State. There are 150,000 troops of the Northwest Army and the Jincheng Army and some troops in the south who rebelled with Xiao Qingyun, so there are about 500,000 left, and this also includes the people and horses of King Dingwang of Qingzhou and Qian Xi of Jiaozhou.

Excluding the manpower of King Ding, which was absorbed by Xiao Qingyun, and the 120,000 people led by Zhao Hu now, the remaining troops of the entire Dayong are only 200,000. And most of these 200,000 people will go to the northwest to resist the attack of the cadre army led by Wan Mingde, so the 70,000 or 80,000 people who have appeared in Xiangyang at present can be said to be all the troops that Dayong can mobilize.

But Lan Jing'an counted the troops in his hands, and it was even less pitiful. Even though Xiangyang City is high and wide, the other party can't break through it for a while, but with such a huge disparity in strength, he will definitely not be able to support it for too long.

Fortunately, the other party didn't know that the Qianjun had reached an agreement with Xia Guo, and Jiang Shaoheng was rushing with his troops. As soon as Jiang Shaoheng's men arrive, the disparity between the forces of the two sides will not seem so great, and if they can be seconded from Yangzhou and Xuzhou, they will probably be about the same as the number of Dayong, and they can have a great battle.

Lan Jing An's heart probably had a spectrum, and he began to ask the enemy's leading figures and arrangements in detail. When she heard that the other party's main general turned out to be Wu Daoming, her expression stiffened significantly. This traitor to the Qianguo country dared to lead troops to attack the old land, if she couldn't lead the army to break him, she would be sorry for her parents.

There is also Yuwen Mochi, he came just in time, and he was worried that he had no chance to kill him. Since he took the initiative to send it to the door, she also wanted him to die in her own hands to avenge the 100,000 troops who died in Dingyuan's Mansion and the northwest.

However, it sounds like the character of Yuwen Junping seems to be more powerful, and he is a figure that should not be underestimated. Lan Jing'an had never seen this person, but he was already wary of him in his heart.

Lan Jing'an stared at the missing moment, and it would be time in less than a moment. But until this time, Pang Tu still did not bring anyone to come, and the other generals did not arrive. Lan Jing'an didn't know if Pang Tu planned to disobey the military order and fight her.

Fortunately, Pang Tu still came to the General's Mansion at the last moment with other generals. Pang Tu took the lead in entering the main hall with great strides, although he was honored as the commander of Lan Jing'an, but his expression was obviously full of dissatisfaction with her.

Lan Jing'an lived in the General's Mansion for a period of time, and he also knew Pang Tu. He was not an old minister of the Qianguo, but the leader of the peasant army who came from Yuzhou to follow Xiao Qingyun's uprising. He is about the same age as Lan Jing'an, but he is brave and good at fighting, and he is desperate and fearless.

Xiangyang's Changshui and Shooting Sound are Lu Min's descendants, and they are good at water warfare. The Yueqi and Tuncai were personally led by Xiao Qingyun to train according to the training methods of the Northwest Army. Only the infantry department was led by Pang Tu and organized under the guidance of Zheng Rong, a veteran of the cadre army, and most of them were people brought by Pang Tu from Yuzhou.

The infantry was numerous, and the power of Pang Tu was not small. Moreover, he fought bravely on the battlefields of Jingyang and Yang many times and made great achievements, so Lu Min promoted him to his deputy general, and Xiao Qingyun also appointed him as a partial general.

Lan Jing'an knows that in the Central Plains, the habit of taking men as the sky is very heavy. The Central Plains is dominated by agriculture, and there is no need to be like the Northwest, where men, women, and children must be ready to defend their homes at any time; There is no tradition of believing in priestesses in Jingyang and even in the southwest.

Therefore, Pang Tu looked at his face as the commander of the Great Commander, and showed a little respect, but in his heart he must have disagreed with the cadres in power.

Lan Jing'an didn't care about the prejudices in his heart. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he began to discuss military affairs with everyone, and informed everyone that he had transferred reinforcements from Jiangling and Jiangxia. At present, the most important thing to do is to grasp the movements of the enemy's troops, and the second is to build a fortress near the Han River, and at the same time block the Han River channel to prevent the other side from breaking through Xiangyang and attacking south.

She ordered Sun Wei to lead the Yue cavalry to lead the 200 troops of Liangtun, and under the cover of the sailors, to explore along both sides of the Han River, to find out where Dayong had set up a large camp and built fortifications, and by the way, he could test the strength of the other party.

Then Lan Jing ordered Pang Tu to lead the infantry and sailors to block the upper Hanshui in the Hanshui near Wanshan. At the same time, forts were built on both sides of the Han River below the mouth of the Baihe River and south of Xiangyang City, and the focus was on guarding the side of the South of Xiangyang City close to the Han River. Dayong's men and horses must not be allowed to reach the vicinity of Lumen Mountain through the Han River, forming a situation of encirclement of Xiangyang.
