Seeing Pei Lin's eyes gradually calm down after groaning, Li He also knew that it was probably time to get to the point, and if he continued to be entangled in such bickering, he would deviate from the topic. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Clearing his throat, Li He took a sip of the wine cup and began to brew words.

And Li Gu, Pei Lin, Jiang Feng and others also noticed Li He's action, as if they were suddenly pointed at acupuncture points together, or found something at the same time, and they all subconsciously sat up straight.

Jiang Feng felt more and more that he was beginning to enter a certain state of this era, he felt that he was imperceptibly adapting to this era, this environment, from Gushi to Bianliang, and even it only took a few days, he had already begun to enter the Bianliang system.

Obviously, these three people are not a system.

Li He is on behalf of the Chongzheng Yuan, which is the highest military institution of the Great Liang, and because of the special historical origin and geographical environment of the Great Liang, the status of the Chongzheng Yuan is even higher than the so-called prime ministers of the Tongping Zhangshi in the Political Affairs Hall, of course, the situation in the Chongzheng Yuan is also very complicated, and the military leaders and civil officials also have their own spokespersons.

Li Gu is naturally the representative of the military leader, and the military leader is full of mountains, Li Gu can only be said to represent one of the groups, and this group is advocating the mobilization of troops against Caizhou.

Of course, Pei Lin represents the political affairs hall, and of course the Tongping officials will not appear here, just like the court envoys, deputy envoys and judges will not appear here, this banquet is actually a docking and exchange between the three parties.

In a certain sense, the representatives of the three parties present here are all in favor of using troops against Caizhou, while those who oppose the war against Hedong may not be unanimous in the reasons for their opposition, but they are consistent in the results.

Although the Chongzheng Yuan also has its own security system, but in the event of a major war, it is bound to have a fairly large operating system to support, which is not something that the Chongzheng Yuan itself can solve, and once it is not coordinated on the side of the political affairs hall, it will be a big mess.

It should be said that there is another link missing, that is, Shangshu Province, which is responsible for the specific implementation, but this is a follow-up problem, and with the overwhelming advantage of the political affairs hall over Shangshu Province now, this is not a problem.

"Master Pei, I think I already understand what you mean in this regard, since you are here, presumably the adults in the political hall can still realize the severity of the situation, the benefits of the salt pond are tempting, but it depends on whether they can swallow it, the problem of Hedong is not something that can be solved in a day or two, we have been fighting with the Shatuo people for decades, they can't help us, and it is not easy for us to solve them, so we need to be based on reality, and first solve the most urgent problems. ”

Li He threw away the veil, "The Chongzheng Yuan believes that the top priority is to solve the growing threat to Daliang in Caizhou, even if we can't completely solve the problem at one time, but we must weaken it as much as possible and contain it, this is our intention and purpose this time." ”

"The chess piece chosen by the Chongzheng Yuan is the Gu Shi Army?" Pei Lin no longer had the previous intimate conversation with Jiang Feng at this time, and asked calmly and coldly: "I personally agree with the use of troops against Caizhou, and the specific strategy is the responsibility of the Chongzheng Yuan, but once it is determined that the Gu Shi Army will act as a chess piece, then the strategy is bound to be different from the original strategy, so I have to be cautious, I have to ask, why do the Chongzheng Yuan and General Li Gu think that the Gu Shi Army can play the role of a chess piece?"

"Well, the political hall is not optimistic about Gu Shijun?" Li Gu interjected.

This banquet was convened by him, although it was nominally Jiang Feng who set up the banquet, but in fact, Li He and Pei Lin were able to come, it was all his credit, with Jiang Feng's influence in Bianliang City, I was afraid that even the concierge of the Political Affairs Hall and the Chongzheng Yuan would not be invited.

"General Li Gu, I have a good impression of Marquis Jiang Yu, but this cannot be used as a reason for Gu Shijun to become an ally of the Liang army. Pei Lin smiled apologetically at Jiang Feng, "Gushi's geographical location is too special, because of this, if the Gushi army is strong enough, it can indeed pose a great threat to the Caizhou side, but for the same reason, the Caizhou side will not be aware of this, and they will not tolerate this thorn in their back, so I think the Caizhou army will solve Gushi at all costs, and Gushi's current strength, I don't think it can compete with the Caizhou army, we all know the current combat effectiveness of the Caizhou army." ”

Regarding Pei Lin's words, Li He and Li Gu both knew that this was not a lie, the people in the political affairs hall also had their own news channels, and the current situation of the Gu Shi Army could not be hidden, and now it was up to Jiang Feng to respond.

Although Li He and Li Gu both believed that Jiang Feng was not easy to match, since they took the initiative to invite a banquet, they also knew what the intention of this banquet was, since they dared to do so, they naturally had some preparations, but the truth of Gu Shijun was there, and it was not feasible to want to make nonsense, so their response to Jiang Feng was both expectant and worried.

"Lord Li, General Li, I can understand Lord Pei's worries, well, here, I want to ask a question first, oh, what kind of strength does Master Pei think the Gushi Army should have in order to be qualified to act as an ally of the Liang Army, or to assume the role of a thorn in the back of Caizhou, or what kind of strength does the political hall think Gushi should have in order to resist the attack of the Caizhou Army. Jiang Feng didn't immediately brag about the introduction, he needed to understand Pei Lin's true intentions first.

Pei Lin glanced at Jiang Feng meaningfully, and nodded slowly, "Erlang, I'm not embarrassed for you, but the political hall is really not optimistic about Gu Shi. As far as I know, the Gushi Army has indeed withstood the attack of the ant thieves, but the Gushi Army has suffered a lot of losses, and now the Gushi Army still has a thousand troops?

"In addition, the small wall of Gushi City is broken, and it may be barely possible to deal with ant thieves, once the Caizhou army comes, they have magicians, and they have perfect siege equipment, even a big city like Wanqiu City, under the defense of my Liang's elite, is still attacked by the Caizhou army, do you think Gushi can have the strength to repel the Caizhou army?"

"In addition, with the Yuan clan's wrist, they are bound to win over the Gushi gentry, and under the cooperation of the inside and the outside, how many chances does the Gushi Army have?"

"The masters of the Yuan clan are like forests, it's not that I'm alarmist, the masters of the Heavenly Realm are not a big deal for the Yuan clan, but what about the Gu Shi Army?

A series of questions smashed over like ice cubes, Li He and Li Gu, who had been mentally prepared for the question, both changed color slightly, and Ju Rui clenched his fists even more, feeling a little cold in his heart, as for Lu Gao, he was no longer qualified to intervene at this time.

They have also considered these questions, but they are just raised in front of the gongs and drums, and it is clear that the political affairs hall has also done a deep and detailed understanding, and you can't fool people.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Feng, but Jiang Feng still looked like he was in a good place, and he seemed to be prepared for Pei Lin's questioning.

I have to say that Pei Lin's questions are all key, if you are not prepared, you will really be asked by the other party, but if you are prepared, your answer may not be satisfactory to the other party.

His answer today will be brought back to the political hall by Pei Lin, and it is difficult for Li He and Li Gu to affect the attitude of the political hall, which is even related to the strength of the political hall's support for this war, or there will be deviations in the strategic direction.

In fact, Li He and Li Gu both have the same doubts about themselves, but for them, the appearance of Gu Shijun is better than nothing, or a dead horse is regarded as a live horse doctor, since it is determined that they want to use troops against Caizhou, then it is better than nothing.

But for Jiang Feng, the quality of the answer and the satisfaction of the other party will be related to how much benefit he can win from the other party, which is particularly critical for Gu Shi.

"Well, Master Pei asked a good question, to be honest, I didn't think about the question you asked so much, but since Master Pei asked it, it is estimated that Lord Li and General Li also hope that I can clear up my doubts, so I will answer these questions. Jiang Feng sat up straight, put down his wine glass, and looked at each other with eye level.

"Before answering these questions, I would like to emphasize one thing first, the reason why the Gu Shi Army is confident that it can become an ally of the Liang army and can help the Liang army is based on the premise that the Liang will use troops against Caizhou, and it is a strategic rather than a tactical use of troops, otherwise, all this of the Gu Shi army will be meaningless, because if the Caizhou army attacks with all its strength, Gu Shi will not be able to resist the full attack of the Caizhou army no matter how well he is prepared, and I need to make a special statement on this point. ”

Jiang Feng's premise statement was also approved by Pei Lin and the others.

If Daliang does not use troops in Caizhou, everything is empty talk, and Gushi is bound to fall.

"Then Jiang will answer the first question, how many troops does the Gushi Army have now, well, how many soldiers can fight?" Jiang Feng raised his voice: " After this vicious battle, the Gushi Army maintained the remaining tooth battalion and middle battalion of the original formed soldiers, a total of 1,000 people, and the combat effectiveness was even greatly improved than before the war. ”

Jiang Feng's sentence is a bit of a drawback, everyone here is no stranger to military affairs, and naturally knows what a hard battle and victory means for the growth of an army.

"In addition, before I left Gushi, the front battalion has also been basically replenished, and the left battalion is being rebuilt, I want to emphasize that the replenishment of these soldiers is not simply to put down the hoes of the rural farmers into the barracks, the front battalion and the left battalion rebuilt the strength are the Gwangju gentry who fled to Gushi at the moment with their families and soldiers from the old army of the Gwangju army who fled after being raided by the Yuan clan, they have basic training and combat effectiveness, and they can adapt to the needs of the battle in a relatively short time.
