Chapter 40: Dilemma (2)

Seven days later, an emergency report was transmitted from Gaoning County to Liu Feng. When he saw the content of the emergency report, he immediately asked someone to call Pang Bin over.

Now, Pang Bin is almost all in charge of the government affairs in Yinyang County. After a period of observation, Liu Feng also found that in addition to being outstanding in government affairs, this person also has great insights in strategy. He just used a little trick to solve several big troubles in the city. He is a good talent.

"Master!"

Pang Bin walked in and bowed to Liu Feng. Perhaps because he had not had a good rest, he had a hint of tiredness on his face.

"No need to be polite, look at this."

Liu Feng handed over the urgent report in his hand.

Pang Bin quickly took it with both hands. After reading the content of the emergency report, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is the lord hesitant to send troops to rescue Gao Ning?"

During this period, he was actually quite concerned about the situation in Gaoning County, but unfortunately he knew it well. After all, he did not have the right to mobilize the Jinyiwei.

"That's right."

Liu Feng was indeed hesitating.

There are only 7,000 defenders in Gaoning County. Faced with the fierce attack of 70,000 troops day and night, it is now very critical. The urgent report made it clear that if there were no foreign aid, it would be in less than ten days, and it would probably fall.

However, the actions of the imperial army were really strange, making people wonder why they didn't attack Zhe County, which had relatively weak city defenses first? They didn't even leave a soldier there to defend the embankment, but instead used the entire army to attack the strong city of Gaoning County, exposing their rear.

Isn’t the enemy general worried that he would suddenly send troops to attack his rear, or that he did it on purpose, and was attacking Gaoning County on the surface, but actually to lure them to send troops?

What surprised Liu Feng even more was that they attacked Gaoning County regardless of casualties. Judging from the merit points they received these days, the number of soldiers they died in battle had reached 16,000.

According to the information found by the factory guards, the entire Laiyang Prefecture's troops were only 70,000 troops left. If the losses were too great in Gaoning County, wouldn't they not have enough troops to continue to attack Zhe County and Yinyang County?

It was precisely because he did not understand these intentions of the enemy that he hesitated that the factory guards had not been established for a while and there was still too little information to be discovered.

Pang Bin fell into deep thought as he looked at the urgent report in his hand. Why was the imperial army so impatient to capture Gaoning County? Logically speaking, the best siege plan is to adopt a siege. Is there anything special about this county?

When his eyes swept across the map hanging on the screen not far away, he was stunned for a moment, then his face showed a hint of sudden and shock. So he hurriedly said to Liu Feng: "Master, my subordinates think that the most important thing for us now is not how to save Gaoning County, but to immediately jump out of the current dilemma."

"Disaster?"

Liu Feng looked at Pang Bin in surprise and suspicion, "How do you say this?"

"This bureau subordinate just figured it out. Please look at the map, lord."

Pang Bin walked to the map hanging on the screen and pointed at Gaoning County. "Gaoping County is located right between Yinyang and Zhe County. It is a plain with a flat land here. As long as you occupy Gaoning County and set up checkpoints in various important roads, it will not only cut off the connection between us and Zhe County, but also beneath their troops. Our army is not fully prepared and trained enough. Facing the imperial army, there is still a fighting power to defend the city. Once you leave the city, the enemy will send a cavalry and follow this road to easily catch up and defeat us."

"I see."

Liu Feng's eyes lit up. As a result, the court army's behavior of attacking Gao Ning was so easy to explain. He had never thought of this before. Fortunately, he called Pang Bin. It turned out that three cobblers were better than Zhuge Liang. Collecting ideas was the most correct way to solve the problem.

"Then according to your opinion, we should immediately give up Yinyang County and leave this dilemma while Gao Ning is not broken?"

Pang Bin nodded, "This is the best choice, otherwise it will be too late for us to leave after Gao Ning falls."

At this moment, a task panel suddenly popped up in front of Liu Feng's eyes.

Mission: [Occupy a mansion within fifteen days, the mission is successful: unlock the new recruits, the 9th-rank official position, a skill point, failure: the system leaves the host.]

"New mission? I actually allowed me to occupy Laiyang Mansion within half a month?"

Seeing the content of the task, Liu Feng was a little confused.

What's going on with the system? At this critical moment, such a task was actually launched. In this situation, I was about to run away. How could I occupy the entire Laiyang Mansion within half a month?

Could it be that the bandits were fighting head-on with the imperial army? This was simply to die. The bandits had good physical fitness, but the troops were single and did not match the battle formation. The number of people was not as good as the imperial army. The winning rate was extremely low when fighting in the field.

Is the system determined to get rid of itself?

No, no, it is logical that the system will not produce tasks that cannot be completed. If it can produce such tasks, it means that it has a chance to complete this task! But where is the breakthrough point?

After thinking about it, my mind was full of mess. Liu Feng looked at Pang Bin beside him and asked, "Is there really no other way except to leave?"

Hearing this, Pang Bin's heart skipped a beat and hurriedly advised: "Lord, keep the green mountains without worrying about burning firewood. Unless the city is surrounded again, we have no other way to choose from. It is more important to keep our strength first."

"What did you say?! The city is surrounded?"

A sudden flash of inspiration in Liu Feng's mind.

"Lord, if the Fucheng is attacked, the troops besieging Gao Ning will definitely return to help. However, there is no force in Laiyang Prefecture that threatens the Fucheng, we——"

"Who said no?"

Liu Feng smiled.

"Ah? This, lord, I wonder which force it is? Did you come from other mansions?"

Pang Bin looked curious. He knew that his lord had a mysterious team around him, good at spying on intelligence, so he must know some situations that he didn't understand.

"It's not a force, but us! As long as I take down the city, the army of the court will lose the supply of food and grass, and the city will be destroyed. If we don't need to take action, the court will also punish the general and kill the number of people in one fell swoop."

Liu Feng became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he was already in the hands of victory.

"Lord, please forgive my subordinates for being ignorant. How should we take over the city?"

Pang Bin felt that he could no longer keep up with his lord's idea. He didn't want to send troops to attack the prefecture, right? But this didn't work at all. The army in Gaoning County was waiting for them to send troops.

"Actually, this is the case. I still have an ambush in the Fucheng. No one knows about this matter. Now the Fucheng is empty, and it is our opportunity. I will leave you to the responsibility for the matter here in Yinyang County."

Liu Feng reached out and patted Pang Bin on the shoulder, saying serious nonsense.

"The lord actually buried an ambush in the city?!"

Pang Bin widened his eyes and then was overjoyed, "In this way, the dilemma can be solved. Maybe he can take the opportunity to seize the entire Laiyang Mansion. The lord is indeed far-sighted, and I admire him!"

"Haha, it's normal, it's not too late, I'll leave immediately. By the way, I must keep my leave of Yinyang County confidential and never be known by others."

"My lord, please rest assured. If someone else learns about this, his subordinates will apologize for death."

Pang Bin bowed to Liu Feng with a serious face.
Chapter completed!
