Volume 1 Section 64 Fierce Ambition
Qin Zaidao's words made Zhang Yue and Gu Minghai both fall into deep thought, and the more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Central Plains has been turned upside down by ant thieves, and their next target may be a richer Huainan.
Gushi's geographical location is moderate, the city has few soldiers, and it is where the grain hoards are, if the leader of the ant thieves is so thoughtful, then Gushi is really the best place to stay, but in this way, Gushi is in danger.
"What Lord Qin said is very reasonable, but he ignores one of the most important joints. Jiang Feng smiled faintly, if they couldn't summon up their confidence and courage, then this Gushi City would have to give it up.
"Excuse me. Qin Zaidao's eyes also lit up.
But if he covered his ears and stole the bell, the tragedy would eventually fall on him, so he knew that his opinion would greatly undermine everyone's self-confidence, but he still had to say it.
Gu Minghai and Zhang Yue's eyes also fell on Jiang Feng.
"If this Qin Quan becomes Zhu Yun or Yuan Huaihe, then Gu Shi will be hopeless, and we can only open the city to surrender, but Qin Quan is not them, and the ant thieves are not Caizhou Army or Liang Army. Jiang Feng said confidently.
"What's the difference?" Zhang Yue and Gu Minghai asked in unison.
"Ant thief, Liukouer, what is Liukou?" Jiang Feng smiled at the corner of his mouth, "The rabble, the rootless wood, the eyes of the rats, do not seek long, but seek the present, wandering around for food." The 100,000 people, who would dare to take it lightly? But the 100,000 people also put tremendous pressure on their leaders, and the huge amount of food needed for a meal can be supplied, where can they be supplied? Even if it is a state and a government, it can only be supplied for a short time, and it cannot be supplied for a long time. Although Gushi has a grain hoard, it is a drop in the bucket for 100,000 ant thieves, and although Gushi has a moderate geographical location, it is meaningless for the ant thieves who can't stop at all. ”
"Master Jiang means that ant thieves can't stay in one place?" Qin Zaidao's eyes already had a hint of understanding.
"Maybe in the future, but not now, and never choose to start a solid one. Jiang Feng looked to the north, "As time goes by, they will slowly understand that there is no way out for them to wander around, either they can really win the approval of the family lords by force, or they can only use force to completely destroy the rules of this world, now, I don't see that Qin Quan has this consciousness and strength." ”
The three of them nodded at the same time, deeply convinced.
Although Li Tang Zhengshuo was immediately reinstated after being deposed by Zhu Liang, it was like that dignity had been smeared with dog blood, and its divine light was eclipsed, and it was difficult to regain its former glory.
But this is also a double-edged sword, although Zhu Liang made a noise for a while, but the orthodoxy accumulated by the Li Tang Dynasty among the people for hundreds of years could not be erased at once, but on the contrary, the Zhu Liang family was pushed to the furnace of morality.
This is also the main reason why Zhu Liang occupies the hinterland of the Central Plains, with the largest territory, the largest population, and the most powerful force, but it is always difficult to make a breakthrough.
Although the surrounding gate valve families have no attachment to Li Tang in their hearts, and even secretly rejoice that it was knocked down from the altar, their hostility towards the Zhu family is no different.
Similarly, for the behavior of the ant thieves, who have risen recklessly from the bottom, to change the dominance of the gate valve family, these gate valve clans are even more unacceptable heretics, and they are even more eager to put them to death as soon as possible.
"Listening to Lord Jiang's analysis, we are still stable?" Gu Minghai always felt that there was still an unfinished meaning in Jiang Feng's words.
"Not necessarily. Qin Quan may not have this awareness, it can only mean that the main force of the ant thieves may not go south to Gushi, but there are 100,000 ant thieves, and Qin Quan has several departments, as long as any one has the intention of going south to tempt, I am afraid that it will bring disaster to our Gushi. And I can say without exaggeration that this is very likely. Jiang Feng shook his head, "Maybe we won't face the main force of the ant thieves, but if the ant thieves divide their forces, then we will also face unpredictable dangers." ”
Gu Minghai took a deep breath and nodded: "Then what can we do now?"
"Build high walls, accumulate grain, and repair armour. Jiang Feng gritted his teeth and said: "But this is not enough, we also have to take the initiative to the greatest extent to weaken and thwart any existence that may bring us danger." ”
Building a high wall, accumulating grain, and repairing armor, these three sentences can be understood by the three of Qin Gu, but the latter words seem a little profound.
Realizing that the meaning of his last sentence was a little vague, Jiang Feng let out a breath and said: "Qin Quan's several departments, Qin Heng, Sun Dao, Han Baling, Lin Ru, plus Qin Quan's headquarters, the first four departments have more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, any of them is a behemoth for us, once we cross the Huaishui, I'm afraid we will have to face an extremely difficult war, and this possibility does exist, so we have to prepare for the worst." ”
"Suppose one of them crosses the Huaishui and the soldiers point at us, what should we do?" Jiang Feng raised his gaze and looked at the three of them, fierce and fierce, but his tone was extremely heavy, "Twenty thousand ant thieves, ten times more than us, how can we crush their attempts? Just passive sitting may be the end of the city being ruined." We have to take the initiative, weaken them as much as possible before they start a siege, and then use the advantage of defending to defeat them, only then can we survive. ”
"Take the initiative?" Qin Zaidao frowned and continued to shake his head, he felt that Jiang Feng was a little taken for granted.
"We have only more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in our hands, and how can we do this in the face of a 10-fold number of people? Moreover, to be honest, our Gushi Army is still quite lacking in combat effectiveness, and its weapons, armor, urban defense facilities, and training level are far from sufficient. We are all well aware that wars cannot be won by mere blood, faith and courage. ”
All three of them thought it was easy to say, but it wasn't actually possible.
The Gushi army was initially decided, and the army's morale was not stable, and it may be okay to defend the city under the threat of the destruction of the city, but this kind of passive defense of the city is in front of ten times their own enemies, and it is a matter of time before the city is broken, but it is really unimaginable to let them take the initiative to attack the enemy ten times their size.
These are the realities that lie before everyone.
As a general of the first army, you can't ignore this reality, just care about self-boasting, and after two small battles that are not even battles at all, it is a little fluttering, this kind of excessive expansion of self-confidence is quite dangerous, and Qin Zaidao and Gu Minghai feel that Jiang Feng obviously has this trend.
Zhang Yue may be better, but Qin Zaidao and Gu Minghai are both clear-eyed people, and if you can't convince them with what you come up with, it will be difficult to get their full support.
Jiang Feng, whose eyebrows were deeply locked, did not answer for a while, and only after a long time did he say: "I have my own way." ”
