More than 20 generals gathered in the central army tent outside Penglai City, making the originally very wide space slightly crowded. Outside the tent, more than a dozen guards stood in armor and swords, with high alert. From time to time, servants came to bring tea, but stopped thirty steps outside the tent, and brought it in by Zhou Xian's personal soldiers and quickly retreated.

In the big tent, in order to expand the space, all chairs and tables were moved out. Regardless of the size of the position, everyone sat cross-legged on the ground, and the tea was placed on the narrow table in front of them. It seemed a bit like the host and guest banquets of the Han Dynasty, or the gatherings between grassland tribes. It was simple and simple, not like the luxurious and gracefulness of the Ming Dynasty at this time.

Zhou Xian sat in front, watching Huang Fei standing in the place where the main case was placed before, pointing out the country. On the wall of his back, there was a huge map of several sheepskins, with the topographic map of goose meat on Liaodong. However, most of the areas on this map were very blank, only the approximate locations of several large cities and fortresses were marked. Only the terrain of the coastal location of Liaodong was drawn in a little detail, and the mountains and rivers could be seen very clearly.

"The Dongjiang Army in the past was centered on Pi Island, relying on Zhu Island, Ocean Island, Changshan Island and Guanglu Island. It reached Changbai Mountain in the north, Penglai in the south, Lushun in the west, and North Korea in the east, and continued to attack on the coastline of more than 2,000 miles, greatly restraining the large army of the Manchu army. However, because the Dongjiang Army lacked military strength and occupied a sparsely populated area, the land was barren, and it could not be self-sufficient, and the supply was mostly relied on the land of Denglai for supply.

But because of the Governors of Denglai in previous dynasties, except for Yuan Gongkeli, other people's support for the Dongjiang Army was really limited. As a result, although the Dongjiang Army had little military achievements, it was unable to penetrate into the hinterland of Liaodong to completely open up the situation. However, since the military gate has already controlled Denglai, the situation is very different from the Dongjiang Army in the past. It should no longer be limited to the small-scale fights in the past, but should completely threaten the hearts of the Manhu."

Huang Fei was the nephew of Huang Fei, the former general of Dongjiang, and was very familiar with everything about the Dongjiang army. He was a military officer and spoke in a straightforward and concise manner. However, these words had been brewing in his mind for a long time. The regulations were very clear at this moment. After he said this, most generals could understand what he meant.

Zhou Xian laughed and scolded: "General Huang, don't just say anything about me here. Let me tell you about the three routes you told me last night to enter the hinterland of Liaodong. Ordinary people say that three cobblers are the best Zhuge Liang. So many of us gather together and gather our thoughts will definitely judge the pros and cons."

Du Xun is the second most important position to Zhou Xian as a military supervisor. Today, Zhou Xian summoned all the generals to attend the senator. He smiled at the moment, and the teacup in his hand said to Huang Fei with a gentle voice: "General Huang, just say it! Whether it is OK or not, our family and Zhou Junmen will decide for you." Du Xun said it was very implicit, but he ranked his ranking before Zhou Xian, intending to point out his identity as a military supervisor.

Zhou Xian didn't care much about this, so he nodded slightly to Huang Fei and signaled him to say down.

Huang Fei bowed to everyone in the field and continued to say, "If you want to attack the Liaodong hinterland along the coast of Liaodong, there are three routes in the west, middle and east. Besides, let's talk about these three routes, and let you have an in-depth understanding. Jinzhou and Penglai are opposite the sea, and it is also the Liaodong city closest to me from the sea. From Jinzhou to the east, there are hilly and mountainous areas, and the terrain is gradually increasing, reaching more than 300 feet in Yizhou, North Korea. When you go north, it is Fuzhou. Like Jinzhou, the terrain is mainly hilly and mountain ranges, but it is much shorter than the eastward direction, and it can be passed by a large army. However, whether it is Jinzhou or Fuzhou, it is sparsely populated. If you pass by from now on, you will have to rely on the food and supplies carried by the army."

Huang Fei paused for a moment and continued, "This has been explained clearly. Let's talk about the three attack routes. The eastern route marched from North Korea and went to Dandong to attack Phoenix City. However, this route requires crossing mountains and ridges, and it is extremely difficult to supply. Before that, Pi Island and Tieshan on the upper road must be captured before they can advance into Dandong. At present, both places are occupied by Manhu. The middle route is also a mountain road, and its first attack is Xiuyan City, which has a steep terrain and is difficult to attack. And

There is basically no whole piece of flat land there, and it is difficult to deploy troops. Once the offensive is set, it is easy to cause the entire army to collapse. Then let’s talk about the West Road, which is to take Jinzhou from Lushun north, Fuzhou guards, and then send troops to force Gaizhou. This road is as I said before, with a small population, so it is difficult to get supplies by fighting and maintaining war. And until Gaizhou, the situation will change. It is the Liaohe Plain with a concentrated population in the Manchus, but it is also the focus of their defense."

Huang Fei glanced at everyone and said, "Mr. Lin and the military gate have discussed it many times. He believes that even if we successfully captured Xiuyan City at that time, the army could only slowly gather around the city. I am afraid that when our army assembled, the Manhu will also come overwhelmingly. With the combat power of our army's current soldiers, we must occupy twice the advantage of military strength to have a complete chance of winning. It is not worth choosing to fight with the Manhu around Xiuyan City. So this first route is temporarily abandoned. Our army should consider whether to attack Pi Island on the east road or Jinzhou on the west road?"

Tan Zhencai was the garrison of Jiaozhou and was promoted to guerrilla after cooperating with Zhou Xian to defeat the pirates in Ninghaizhou. The enemies he had to deal with were either a few pirates who sneaked ashore or local thieves. He lacked a clear understanding of the Qing army soldiers, especially the most powerful bannermen. He heard Huang Fei say that at least twice the strength of the troops could have a chance of winning against the Qing Dynasty, and some dissatisfaction and curiosity surged in his heart. "The Manchu Captains are not three heads and six arms, they all carry one head on both sides of the left and right shoulders. Our soldiers of the Fifth Battalion have been trained for so many months without any slackness. They will not be as unbearable as General Huang said!"
