In a word, Guhe is also a strong general. Among the 200000 troops of the Xuanfu government, if we only fight alone, Shi Wanshan will be a little inferior. At ordinary times, he is also the most joyful one. There is a sense that he doesn't pay attention to the heroes in the world, but now he has asked this question, which is enough to show that he is afraid in his heart.

The words of the ancient river make the originally quieter room more quiet. Shi Wanshan and Ning Wenfeng are silent. They don't know what to say or how to answer this question. Only eunuch Deng Qiang, after a moment of silence, suddenly said, "general Gu, what do you mean? Are you afraid?"

As a eunuch, his biggest patron is only one person, that is the emperor. Any dissident will become their enemy, that is, the relationship between everyone is good at ordinary times. If someone else dares to say such a thing, I'm afraid Deng Qiang would have called soldiers to arrest people long ago.

"I'm afraid? Are you kidding me? When the general doesn't take the lead on the battlefield, I just say something we'll face sooner or later." facing Deng Qiang's question, Guhe will not shrink back.

At present, if there is internal strife, the situation in the city will only be more pessimistic. Shi Wanshan, as the chief soldier, finally said: "Well, well, this is just a private word. We can't count. Now let's think about how to face the current situation and how to attack the Wara iron cavalry. The emperor has said that we can't throw away the three don't stab Chuan City, or we will be punished by military justice. That's the case. Those who don't want to die will make up their minds quickly."

"It's not easy to guard, there is not enough food and grass, and the morale of the army will be in chaos over time." Ning Wenfeng, who is famous for being a wise man, shook his head gently.

"We can let Dalu city find a way to supply us with food and grass, and it's not far from Datong house, so we can find some ways from there." Deng Qiang also made suggestions and followed Shi Wanshan for a long time. He is not a white man in the military, and he knows some common sense.

"Datong mansion? Hehe." Ning Wenfeng shook his head when he heard the speech, "Now their general army has retreated to Ningxia Wei. They must be frightened. It's impossible for them to support us. I'm afraid they don't even have the courage to open the city gate. As for Dalu City, we can order him, but as soon as we go, there are not many defenders there. It's good that they can hold the city. How dare they come out?"

"They can keep it. Lord Zhongdan won't see anyone attacking Dalu city and threatening the Han people." when talking about this problem, Shi Wanshan broke in and said it clearly. This is what he didn't worry about. Maybe the emperor saw this too. Otherwise, they won't stay in Dalu city for three times without stabbing Sichuan, but return to Dalu city.

No matter how great Yang Chendong's threat to all parties and how rapid the rise of power is, there is nothing wrong with him, that is, his care for the people of the Ming dynasty or the Han people. Everyone sees this situation, that is, with his temper, he will never let the city of Dalu be attacked and ignored.

At this point, even Shi Wanshan admires it.

As soon as Yang Chendong was mentioned, Guhe said again, "Hey, you said, can we let someone send a letter to Zhongdan and ask them to transport materials for us? Others will be afraid of the coalition forces in warla and Yili, and the five-star army will not be afraid."

"Is that ok? The five-star army doesn't have many troops in Shicheng. Do they have such ability?" Deng Qiang also heard his interest and said.

"Don't think about it. It's impossible." Ning Wenfeng said no. in order to be afraid that they won't believe it, he then explained: "Everyone is not stupid. We should be able to see the ambition of Zhongdan Gong. In the future, we will be enemies. Even if it is the enemy, it is good not to step on it when we are down. Where can we support us? Besides, do we have money to pay him? If you remember correctly, the emperor still owes Zhongdan Gong 11 million liang of silver."

Ning Wenfeng said that Shi Wanshan's face was constantly changing, especially eunuch Deng Qiang's face was very ugly. After all, his master owed people money and didn't speak hard. He was just a small chess piece in his master's eyes. What else can he say?

After sitting for a full afternoon, the four did not discuss a better way. Finally, Shi Wanshan could only say: "Forget it, it's a blessing or a curse. We've settled the problem. Even if the emperor wants us to stay here, some things are always solved with help. Otherwise, it's no wonder that we can't keep the city. By the way, Duke Deng, you know the situation in the city. Food and grass can be used for the army for 20 days at most. After 20 days, I'm afraid the city will not attack Self breaking. "

"My father-in-law knows that I'll go back and write a secret passbook to the emperor." Deng Qiang said solemnly. It's not just a matter of whether he can complete the task, but related to his family and life. He can't help but be careless.

......

Shicheng, Yangfu.

The new army won another great battle, killing and capturing nearly 30000 enemies. The good news was sent to Yang Chendong. He just looked at it and put it aside. This was what he expected. It was almost a one-to-one comparison of forces. If the new army could not fight the enemy, it would not be called the new army.

He also tried his best to underestimate the enemy. The defeat was just a matter of time. He was not worried. What he needed to consider now was the changeable situation in front of him and what he needed to do, such as what would happen in the next situation on the battlefield.

Yang Chendong is a man who likes to do things one step at a time and see three steps. This time, the cavalry in Yiba suddenly appeared, which was beyond his expectation and not in his plan. It was only when he appeared that he was certainly not polite that he gave the new army an order to attack.

Facts have proved that this battle was won, and there is no suspense about winning, but this does not mean that there is no problem at all. On the contrary, yilibaoli, who suffered a loss, will do so next, which is what he needs to consider. Only by measuring all possibilities and taking precautions, can we ensure that the five-star army can face everything safely under the circumstances of the task.

All along, Yang Chendong has done the same. Every battle under his command seems not very laborious and dangerous. These are the results of his careful calculation and strategy. Otherwise, even with weapons hundreds of years earlier than this era, it is impossible to achieve so much in such a short time.

Then the problem arises. What will I do next? Will you choose to eat this dumb loss, or send heavy troops for revenge?

Since he left the capital of the northern Ming Dynasty four years ago, left in the name of returning home to worship his ancestors and helped the Southern Ming Dynasty deal with the Yellow bandit army, he began his entrepreneurial journey. The difference is that farmers earn food, businessmen earn money, politicians earn fame, and he earns only one country.

To build a country is more than just fighting and killing. Isn't there an old saying that it's easy to fight the world but difficult to defend it? How to manage these sites well and use them is the time to show your true skills.

Fortunately, with some later experience and some commodities in the warehouse, he can create countless value. With silver, it is easy to handle affairs, and the territory has been stabilized. But after all, his background is too poor, so that the local management can not keep up with his pace of opening up the territory. Just like now, he can swing and have a certain ability to lay more territory, but how to hold here has become a big problem. For example, in yilibaoli, the territory of that place is not small, and it is vast and sparsely populated. Once the main cavalry of the other party is defeated, it is not difficult to occupy it.

It is also because the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the number of people he needs is really difficult for him. In other words, he has the ability to defeat the other party, but he does not occupy the strength of the other party. That is, now is the time to occupy Yili, which is not the time to fight with the other party.

"Alas, you can't get any benefits if you beat the other party with great strength. It's really something that people are not interested in." with a sigh, Yang Chendong called Yang er. He wanted to send a message to the desert north division thousands of miles away and let them do something.

Yang Chendong is calculating that it takes time to accumulate enough strength, such as excellent managers after occupying a place, people who need to move in and out, the future development road of the region, what kind of factories to build, what kind of sunshine Avenue to show the people, etc. Like him, the northern Ming Dynasty was also calculating. Among the capital of the northern Ming Dynasty, the ministers reached a consensus at the court meeting that the city of three non irritants must be guarded and guarded. Only in this way can we prepare enough time for the governor Shiheng, who is preparing to go to war, to have a general battle with the headquarters of Wala on the grassland and win the final victory.

The consensus is reached, but the situation of sanbuakawa city is there. The city is not big, the wall is not high, and the food and water stored in it are very limited. Relying on such a medium-sized city, it is impossible to block the Allied forces of Wala and Yili Ali.

"Commander Shi is a general who can fight. The defense of Xuanfu and the battle for Dalu city have proved his ability. Now he still has nearly 200000 troops in his hands. As long as he can keep up with the food and grass, there must be no problem defending the city." Shang shuyiming of the Ministry of military stood up at the court meeting and expressed his own point of view.

Yiming's words attracted the silent nod and support of many other courtiers. However, Shi Pu, the Minister of industry, stood up, "what Yi Shangshu said is good. The key problem is how to ensure the timely supply of grain and grass?"
