Zhou Tongfu hammered his thigh, looked at his adopted son who was a little dull these days and smiled slightly: "Let's talk about it."

Ouyang Jing walked aside quickly, the armor plates on his body shaking constantly. Ouyang Jing spread out a map on the table, and Zhou Tongfu and his son also followed.

"We can stick to the general square formation in Fuzhou unchanged. As long as we delay it long enough, there will definitely be more chaos in the Zhou Dynasty court. Then we can take advantage of the opportunity!" Ouyang Jing said with confidence.

"Continue." Zhou Tongfu nodded in agreement. This is the only way out for Fuzhou at the moment.

Ouyang Jing pointed at the position of the attacking three armies on the map: "It's just that our Fuzhou is fully equipped now, with only 80,000 troops. The other three counties will fall sooner or later. Once all their three armies gather under Fuzhou City

, it is bound to be a fierce battle. Even if we can hold on for a year and a half, our strength will be greatly reduced, and the situation will not be very optimistic. Therefore, I think we should take the initiative to kill one or two of them to reduce the pressure of defending the city.

pressure, so that we can have room for change in the future!"

Zhou Tongfu frowned. What Ouyang Jing said was true. Although the city of Fuzhou has high walls and sufficient food and grass, facing an attack by hundreds of thousands of troops will still cost a lot. If all the soldiers are defeated, then

Even if something unexpected happens in the court in the future, it will not help, so it is extremely important to reduce the pressure Fuzhou will face.

Zhou Weiran looked at the four counties lined up with Fuzhou on the map and asked: "If we attack, which route should we attack? There are at least tens of thousands of people in these three routes. Even if we attack one route, we have to send half of our troops.

Well, it’s a bit difficult to fight.”

King Fu only has a total of 80,000 troops. He sends troops to attack. It's okay to win. If he loses, Fuzhou will be really dangerous. Do you really hope to recruit more soldiers? The combat effectiveness of the new recruits is a mess.

,like water off a duck's back.

When asked by Zhou Weiran, Ouyang Jing also looked embarrassed. This is indeed a problem. It is difficult to choose which way to fight, and there will be risks.

How about giving it a try?

Both of them turned their attention to Prince Fu, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Zhou Tongfu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he walked back and forth in the room. Finally, he made up his mind and said fiercely: "Give it a try, victory or defeat depends on this!"

After hearing this, Ouyang Jing, who had been eager to fight, began to have murderous intent in his eyes.

Seeing that King Fu had made up his mind, Zhou Weiran and his two men also looked solemn and asked tentatively: "Then which way should we attack?"

Prince Fu pointed to the location of Taizhou on the map and said solemnly: "The Yangzhou army will attack Taizhou first. Longtai County is far to the east. We are really beyond our reach, so Longtai County can only give up for now."

On the map, Fuzhou is flanked by Luzhou and Taizhou. Only Longtai County is the farthest away, so it is obviously impossible for the Gyeonggi army to send troops to attack Longtai.

"However, the Liangzhou army is advancing rapidly. I am afraid that Xiao Qiu in Luzhou cannot hold Chenyue back. If our army attacks Taizhou and the war reaches a stalemate, I am afraid that Chenyue will take the opportunity to attack Fuzhou." Zhou Weiran said with some worry.

Ouyang Jing also nodded aside. The Liangzhou Army has given them too many shocks since the war began.

King Fu Zhou Tongfu hammered the table fiercely and said: "So we will attack in two directions, including the Liangzhou army!"

Zhou Tongfu's words shocked the two people in the room. The two brothers Zhou Weiran looked at each other, full of confusion. The Liangzhou Army was the strongest. If they could defeat the Liangzhou Army, they wouldn't be in the current situation.

"Ran'er!" Zhou Tongfu shouted in a deep voice: "You lead 40,000 people, rush to Taizhou, and try your best to annihilate the main force of the Yangzhou army under Taizhou City. If you eat these tens of thousands of people, they will be equivalent to breaking an arm! Longtai

There are not many Gyeonggi troops in the county, so there is nothing to worry about. After defeating them, immediately withdraw to Fuzhou. Taizhou can be given up for the time being. We have no more troops to garrison Taizhou. In the end, we will focus on defending Fuzhou City!"

Zhou Tongfu sounded very confident. Except for the Liangzhou Army, he thought that Fuzhou soldiers could easily deal with other armies.

Zhou Weiran was shocked by his father's words. They sent 40,000 troops to attack Yangzhou. What about Liangzhou? Just as he was about to ask, Zhou Tongfu spoke again.

"Ouyang Jing, take the Blood-devouring Guards and five thousand cavalry and attack here!" Zhou Tongfu said while pointing to a certain place on the map.

Ouyang Jing and his two men raised their eyes and saw that it was Xiangping Pass where Chen Yue had just deployed troops to garrison.

Zhou Tongfu narrowed his eyes and said: "Of course it is impossible to defeat the Liangzhou Army in a large scale, but it can still be done to delay their attack."

"What do you mean by adoptive father?" Ouyang Jing asked slightly puzzled.

"You see, Xiangping Pass is the junction of Lingzhou and Luzhou, and the terrain is difficult." Zhou Tongfu gestured on the map: "All grain and grass supplies in Lingzhou that are to be transported to the front line must pass through here. You don't need to fight with Liang

In the decisive battle with the main force of the state army, as long as they lead the cavalry to cruise near Xiangping Pass and cut off their food routes, Chenyue will inevitably send troops back to support and delay the advance of the army. This will buy us time to annihilate the Yangzhou army."

Ouyang Jing nodded with sudden realization, a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, foster father, I will definitely buy enough time for my eldest brother!"

Zhou Weiran also understood his father's intention and said solemnly: "Father, I will defeat the Yangzhou Army as soon as possible!"

At this time, Zhou Tongfu's eyes suddenly became serious, and he looked at Ouyang Jing and said: "Jing'er, the key to this battle is whether you can attract the attention of the Liangzhou Army. Except for the men and horses your elder brother took away, you brought this close

Ten thousand cavalry are the only cavalry we have left, so be careful!"

Ouyang Jing's expression was stern, and the scars on his face kept shaking with the muscles, showing a hint of ferocity. He knelt heavily on his knees, kowtowed to Zhou Tongfu three times in succession, and said in a hoarse voice: "Father, adoptive father,

Ouyang Jing deeply feels the kindness of his father who met him, and in this crisis in Fuzhou, I will not give up even if I die!"

Zhou Tongfu took out his slightly lame legs and reached out to lift Ouyang Jing who was kneeling on the ground. His eyes were a little moist: "Get up, why are you still mentioning this after so many years!"

Looking at the two brothers standing side by side in front of him, Zhou Tongfu calmed down his heavy mood and said softly: "Whether it can be delayed until the situation of the Zhou Dynasty changes depends on this battle. You two brothers will definitely succeed!"

"Father, don't worry!"

The two brothers clasped their fists and bent down to salute.

A few days later, two armies in Fuzhou City took advantage of the darkness to rush out of the city gate and headed in two different directions. They were heavily crowded and headed straight for Taizhou. The entire route was full of cavalry troops, with their horses hooves rolling and moving quickly.
