Seeing off Brother Qingyun, Lan Jing'an was a little unhappy, but thinking that this time it was only a short separation, and when she saw him again, she would be able to marry him, and her heart was still very sweet. She was particularly active in recuperating and preparing to go south to Gangneung.

During her time in the General's Mansion, she had more contact with Lu Min and Zhang Xun. When Xiao Qingyun left, he specially told Lu Min, telling her that Lan Jing'an was very intelligent, and he had also read military books and learned strategy when he was young. If Lan Jing'an asked about matters in the army, he didn't have to hide it, just tell her.

Lu Min was also suspicious at first, although he knew that Xiao Si Ming was different from ordinary women, but he still had doubts. He felt that it was because of the close relationship between the marshal and Xiao Si Ming that Xiao Qingyun had some blind trust in Lan Jing'an.

Until one time, he and Lan Jing'an talked about the problem that Fancheng could not be attacked for a long time, and Lan Jing'an asked him if he had ever thought about why Fancheng was not as big as Xiangyang City, and unlike Xiangyang, which had a moat on three sides to protect and rely on Han water on the other, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but they always couldn't attack for a long time, except for the loss of many cadres and troops, they found nothing.

Lu Min said helplessly, there are not many soldiers guarding Fancheng, but the soldiers of the surrounding Dayong hoarding in Niushou, Caiyang, Xinye and other places add up to a lot more than the Xiangyang garrison.

Lan Jing'an smiled and gave him a detailed analysis of how to maximize the use of Fancheng to give the surrounding Dayong garrisons a hard blow. The distance to Fancheng varies from Niushou to Fancheng, Caiyang and Xinye to Fancheng, the shortest of which is only half a day, Caiyang takes three days, and Xinye is the farthest, and it takes four or five days for a rapid march to arrive. If you want to attack Fancheng, you can't take the lead in attacking the city and give time for reinforcements to besiege it. Instead, save the siege for the last item.

We must take advantage of the darkness to surround Fancheng, so that when the Fancheng guards wake up, it is already night, as long as they order people to plant dense torches and scarecrows around them, the Fancheng guards will not know how many people are actually besieging the city, and they will never dare to rashly go out of the city to meet the battle, and will only send people to a few places around to ask for help at the first time.

A siege is no better than a siege, and it only takes a small number of troops to besiege a city as large as Fancheng. The rest of the people could rest and wait for the first reinforcements from the ox head to arrive. According to the normal marching time, when the reinforcements of Niu Shou arrived, the sky was not yet bright, and the torches could still confuse the Dayong soldiers stationed in Fancheng, so that they did not dare to leave the city easily. At the same time, the cadres could gather most of their forces to destroy the Niu Shou reinforcements first, and then return to besiege the city without being detected by the Fancheng guards.

As for Cai Yang's reinforcements, they can only be tough. Fortunately, Dayong built a tall tower in the northeast of Fancheng, which is usually used to look out at Xiangyang. If Fancheng is besieged, it is just right to capture the tower and use it to shoot Caiyang's reinforcements, and at the same time, after ambushing the Niushou reinforcements, imitate this tower and build a few more temporary shooting towers in the northeast, which will inevitably block Caiyang's reinforcements in the field of Fancheng.

Finally, it was necessary to lay an ambush on the north side of Fancheng Tuan Mountain, where reinforcements from Xinye were ambushed. Xinye's reinforcements must have thought that Niu Shou and Cai Yang's reinforcements had arrived, and they were dragging the cadres with them, and they definitely didn't expect to encounter an ambush in the valley of Tuanshanpu. In addition, the reinforcements from Shinno rushed the hardest overnight, and they were likely to panic after encountering an ambush and could not enter the battle quickly.

At this point, although Fancheng has not been attacked, the surrounding reinforcements should be almost wiped out, and it will not be difficult to take Fancheng at that time. Moreover, the most important point of this strategy is that although the number of cadres in Xiangyang is not as large as the number of reinforcements in Fancheng, the number of each team is not as large as that of Xiangyang's cadres in terms of the number of each support army. Fighting more against less, waiting for work, and breaking through one by one is the best way to destroy the reinforcements near Fancheng and thus break through Fancheng.

Lan Jing'an didn't count this, and gave Lu Min a trick to ask him to wait for the winter snow to pass the night before doing this. First, because the winter nights are longer, it is easier to ensure that the Niu Shou reinforcements are annihilated before dawn. Second, when the snow night comes, the ground is white, and you can recognize the road ahead without lighting a torch, which is just conducive to surround Fancheng in the dark, and then light the torch all over the place, the firelight will reflect on the snow, which looks more spectacular, and it seems that there are many people. Thirdly, the long-distance march in the snow is far more tiring than usual, and it is more powerful for the reinforcements to ambush Caiyang Xinye.

Lu Min listened to Lan Jing'an's analysis, and was overjoyed, and his eyes changed when he looked at her. He would never have imagined that the young Si Ming would come up with such an idea and help him solve a major problem. In Lu Min's eyes, the current Xiao Si Ming is even more powerful than Shen Junshi. No wonder she went to the topographical map of the vicinity some time ago, and asked about the military situation in her vicinity, it turned out that she was studying the tactics of breaking the enemy every day. At this point, Lu Min admired Lan Jing'an.

Lu Min also admired Xiao Qingyun's vision very much, and felt that he knew how to make good use of people, and he did not avoid relatives. After this conversation, Lu Min began to often discuss with Lan Jing'an how to use soldiers in the army, and even invited her to visit the Xiangyang Barracks and the Water Division, and asked her for advice on military training. At the same time, she carefully explained to Lan Jing'an the combat methods of the navy that she was not familiar with before.

Lan Jing'an also learned a lot of practical experience in marching and fighting from Lu Min during her time in the General's Mansion, which greatly helped her in her later days. She and Lu Min are mentors and friends to each other, and each feels that they have learned a lot from each other.

During this period of time, she and Zhang Xun also got along. Zhang Xun likes to play chess, but this general's mansion is basically full of martial artists, and no one can play with him. It happened that Lan Jing'an also likes to play chess, and her level is quite good, so Zhang Xun, an old man, finally found a soulmate, as long as Lan Jing'an is free, he will ask her to play against him. When I was excited, I directly called her Xiaoyou. Lan Jingan didn't think it was angry, but called Mr. Zhang Xunzuo.

The two of them fought at the chess table while chatting about the livelihood and national plans of Dayong and Qianguo. Zhang Xun has his own views on how to govern the people. In his eyes, the main appeal of the people is to live and work in peace and contentment, so the items related to farming must not be too ruthless to the people, and the tax and forced labor must be used reasonably and skillfully, otherwise it will be the end of Dayong now.

For the people, those in high positions must set an example and keep their word. The most taboo policy changes three times a day, so that the people do not know what to do. Moreover, those in power should be close to the people but not afraid of the people, always understand the lives of the people, care for the people, and at the same time not be afraid to punish those who undermine the stability of the people's livelihood with heavy punishments.

The longer Lan Jingan and Zhang Xun have been in contact, the more they feel that this person has a great talent for governing the country. I secretly thought in my heart, if such a talent is placed in a peaceful and prosperous era, it will be no problem to pay homage to the marquis, but it is a pity that it has been delayed by this troubled era. Only when Brother Qingyun takes the world, can he reuse this person.

By the time Lan Jing'an's body was basically healed on the eighth day of the lunar month and set off for Jiangling, Lu Min and Zhang Xun were already reluctant to give up on her, hoping that she could stay in Xiangyang City for a longer time. Lu Min even offered to send her to Jiangling in person, but Lan Jing'an politely refused. Not to mention the important geographical location of Xiangyang, as the current northern gate of Jingzhou, it is absolutely inseparable from the general Lu Min. She herself also wants to travel all the way to the mountains and rivers, and slowly get acquainted with all parts of Jingzhou, with Lu Min, a general, she definitely can't let go.
