"Report, General, the Yan army is heading south!"

"According to the investigation of the military situation, it is the Yan King Zhu Di who personally led the troops, with an army of about 50,000!"

Zhending Barracks.

A sergeant stormed the tent.

When Geng Bingwen heard this, he was not worried but happy.

The reason why he set up an iron bucket tactic in Zhending was to wait for Zhu Di to attack.

Now that Zhu Di has really taken the bait, he is naturally very happy.

As long as the Yan army is defeated in a battle, the morale of the Yan army will plummet!

At that time, it was the time when the imperial army launched a fierce attack and smashed the Yellow Dragon!

"Do you generals think that the first target of Yan Wang Zhu Di will be placed?"

Geng Bingwen looked at the generals in the military tent.

Among them are Li Jian, the commander of the horses, Ningzhong, the governor of the capital, and Guo Ying, the marquis of Wuding.

The generals deliberated, but it was not easy to be sure.

After all, his army is divided into three places: Hejian, Juzhou, and Xiongxian, and they are each other's horns, so it seems that it is possible for Zhu Di to attack any place.

Governor Xu Kai led 30,000 troops to sit in Hejian City, Governor Pan Zhong led 20,000 troops to garrison Juzhou City, and Governor Yang Song led 10,000 troops to the vanguard of Jiaoxiong County.

The three places are heavily guarded, and the most likely place is Xiongxian, where the governor Yang Song sits.

But Xiongxian is an ancient pass, known as "Waqiao Pass" in ancient times, it is one of the "three passes" guarded by Yang Liulang, a famous general of the former Song Dynasty, because of its important strategic position, it has been built in all dynasties, and has become a strong northern town of the city.

"General, the first target of Yanwang Zhu Di should not be Xiongxian."

"Xiongxian used to be an ancient pass, the terrain is low-lying, there are rivers and lakes everywhere saline-alkali ground, the residents are sparse, easy to be taken advantage of by the enemy, set up danger here, conducive to defense, Yanwang Zhu Di is not stupid, so he should not attack Xiongxian."

Du Du Ningzhong was the first to speak and put forward his own opinions.

Ning Zhong is the son of the late Governor of the Right Army, the Left Governor of the Governor's Mansion, Ningzheng, who has grown up in the army since he was a child, and is also familiar with military affairs.

Hearing what he said, Geng Bingwen just nodded and did not say anything.

Li Jian also said: "What General Ning said is extremely true, Xiongxian County is dangerous, and it will never become the first target of Zhu Di, the king of Yan."

Li Jian was also a general, and his father Li Ying had a meritorious service in founding the country, so Li Jian was able to choose the seventh princess and princess and confer the title of Captain of the Horse.

Speaking of which, Li Jian is still the own family member of the old Zhu family and the seventh son-in-law of Emperor Taizu Gao.

It is precisely because of this special identity that Li Jian is inevitably a little arrogant when he looks at other generals, even if it is Geng Bingwen, the commander of the three armies, Li Jian does not have the slightest respect in his words.

After all, in his opinion, Geng Bingwen is just an old guy, and he should have been eliminated a long time ago!

Geng Bingwen took in Li Jianningzhong's performance and sighed secretly in his heart.

He lost the interest in continuing to discuss with the two men, and with a wave of his hand he sent them away.

After the two left, Geng Bingwen looked at Guo Ying.

The latter also looked at him, and the two of them glanced at each other, and both saw the bitterness in each other's eyes.

"These noble sons are really more unsuccessful than the other!"

"It's either just a bit of talk on paper, or it's just rhetoric, it's too far behind their fathers and ancestors!"

Hearing Geng Bingwen's ridicule, Guo Ying smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Where can this be the same?"

"Back then, we were forced to be helpless, we had to carry knives to rebel, we all crawled out of the pile of dead people, and we were lucky enough to survive to get the name of a general."

"But what about these noble children? People's conditions are much better than we were back then, since we were young, we have no worries about food and clothing, and we haven't even fought a decent battle a few times, what insight can we have? ”

"Old Geng, don't be too strict, they are all the descendants of the old brothers, and they will pass with one eye open and one eye closed!"

Geng Bingwen snorted coldly, with unhappiness written on his face.

"It's a march to war!"

"I'm not bringing dolls to those old brothers!"

"A bunch of ignorant fools, full of bookishness, I really don't know what the emperor sent them to do!"

The two of them sighed for a long time, and then shifted the topic to business.

"Lao Guo, where do you think Zhu Di will fight?"

Guo Ying looked at Kanyutu and thought for a moment, and finally stretched out his hand and put it on top of Juzhou.

"I guess it should be Juzhou City, after all, this is the main transportation route for the Yan army to go south!"

"And the two fools just now also said that Xiongxian County is dangerous, and Zhu Di is desperate to make a result, so he will naturally avoid Xiongxian!"

Geng Bingwen nodded, but then asked, "Why not Hejian?"

"You old boy, are you examining me?" Guo Ying scolded with an angry smile, "Hejian City is located on the plain, the terrain is open and flat, there is no danger outside the city, the Yan army really dares to attack, it is a live target!" ”

"What's more, it doesn't make sense for the Yan army to capture Hejian City, this is not a critical place for a fortified city, and our army can recover Hejian City at any time."

"That's why Zhu Di is stupid and crazy, so he will go directly to attack Hejian City!"

Geng Bingwen nodded with a smile, very satisfied with Guo Ying's performance.

"Old brother, fortunately, you are not old and confused, otherwise I won't be able to hold it alone!"

"Fuck off!"

The two laughed and scolded for a while, easing their heavy mood.

Guo Ying said in a deep voice again: "Pan Zhong, this kid, do you think you can hold on to Juzhou?"

"Well, no problem." Geng Bingwen nodded in approval: "Pan Zhong is cautious by nature, and he is a good general."

"As long as he holds on to the city and doesn't give Zhu Di any chance, it only takes one day for the army of Xiongxian and Hejian to come!"

"In fact, the three cities are each other's horns, and they can support each other at any time, and it will not be easy for Zhu Di to conquer any city!"

Guo Ying didn't answer when he heard this, and for some reason he was always a little uneasy in his heart.

"I hope so!"

"Send an order to Pan Zhong and remind him to defend the city honestly!"

At the same time, the Yan army battalion.

Zhu Di and the generals are looking at the Kanyu map.

"Lord Wang, according to reliable information, the Southern Army has heavy troops in Hejian, Juzhou and Xiongxian, but the specific number of troops and who the defenders are have not yet been verified!"

Monk Daoyan told the military situation in time.

This is also the army fighting abroad, and the forces of the imperial court have not yet reached the battlefield, so they cannot provide the specific military information of the southern army in time.

Otherwise, if the Yan army has mastered these military information, it can directly send troops to attack the city.

"River!"

"Juzhou!"

"Xiongxian!"

Zhu Di spit out this place, and then looked at the generals.

"Where do you want to hit first?"

Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and the others thought for a moment, and finally unanimously decided to attack Yanzhou.

The reason is very simple, Xiongxian County is strong and difficult to fight, and it makes no sense to fight down the river, so there is only the last Yanzhou left!

Laying down this traffic artery is also more conducive to the Yan army.

However, Zhu Di laughed and shook his head, directly rejecting this proposal.

"Since you all want to fight Yanzhou, then it's decided, let's fight Xiongxian!"

Generals: "???"

it?

Juzhou has become Xiongxian?

What kind of weird brain circuit are you!

Big brother, what we just said is "fighting Juzhou"!
