In fact, not only Jin Feng knows the open plan, but Li Lingrui also understands it.

However, Jin Feng relies on weapon advantages, while Li Lingrui relies on numerical advantages.

Now Jin Feng's weapon advantage is gone, and Li Lingrui's numerical advantage is still there.

When he found that the Shu army retreated south, Li Lingrui did not pursue him. In addition to ambushing him in fear, he also felt that he was sure to win and there was no need to take risks.

It was not until the scouts found out that Li Lingrui ordered the army to set sail and advance southward.

Moreover, the Southern Expedition Army advanced very slowly. The Shu army only took one night to reach the Brass Ditch, and it took Li Lingrui three days to arrive in the north of the Brass Ditch.

This time, Li Lingrui did not lead the camp directly to the front of the Shu army camp like before, but stopped more than ten miles away from Huangtong Gully, and found a terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack to set up camp.

"Does Li Lingrui want to fight a protracted war with us?"

When Zhang Liang got the news, he couldn't figure it out: "Shouldn't he be more anxious than us?"

During the past years of the southern expedition, Dangxiang basically entered Dakang from Qingshuigu and rarely traveled from Xizhou because there were also deserts in the north of Xizhou. Dangxiang people had to travel through the vast deserts when they walked from Xizhou.

At this time, transportation was backward, and the army's food and supplies were a very big problem.

Jin Feng once heard from the Ninth Princess that Dangxiang launched a southern expedition from Xizhou and transported food and grass from the hinterland to the border, and he had to consume 35% to 40% on the road.

In other words, if one sends 100 kilograms of grain from the hinterland to the front line, the soldiers who transport food and grass on the road have to eat thirty or forty kilograms, and only more than 60 kilograms are left when they are delivered to the place.

By the same token, the Dangxiang people plundered food from the Central Plains and consumed 30 to 40% on the way back from Xizhou.

This loss rate is too high, so Dangxiang generally chooses Qingshuigu in Nanzheng.

Now Qingshuigu is being kept tightly guarded by Tien Niu, and Dangxiang really has no choice but to choose Xizhou.

This time, the Dangxiang Nanzheng was the largest in history. The total number of soldiers and various logistics personnel in the battle exceeded 400,000.

The team of 400,000 people eat horses and chew them, and the food and grass they need to consume every day are numbers that ordinary people cannot imagine.

That's why Zhang Liang felt that Li Lingrui was too calm.

After being reminded by Zhang Liang, Jin Feng finally realized that something was wrong.

"Yes, why is Li Lingrui not in a hurry?" Jin Feng thought to himself.

But he was not a professional officer in his previous life. His previous battles were basically based on leading tactics and advanced weapons to take the initiative to attack and kill the enemy in one go.

This is the first time Jin Feng has faced such a protracted battle now, and he cannot do everything.

This is the difference between a wild path and a regular army.

Li Lingrui started to serve in the army as a teenager. Although he was only experienced, he stayed in the army for more than ten years, and went step by step from a grassroots soldier to the present.

With the royal teachings, Li Lingrui was called a qualified commander.

He suffered losses under Jin Feng before, but it was because he had the first time meeting an opponent like Jin Feng who played cards without reason.

On the other hand, although there are many veterans in the escort army, most of them were ordinary soldiers when they were in the army before, and centurions were rarely seen.

Except for Chen Fengzhi, the other generals were almost all the wild ways to become monks halfway, and there was no problem in letting them lead troops to charge, but they lacked the handsome guy who looked at the problem from the perspective of the entire battlefield and had a view of the overall situation.

Chen Fengzhi is a veteran, but he is just a loyal martial artist who obeys orders.

Qing Mulan has read many military books, but before she met Jin Feng, she could only play house with a group of maids in the deep boudoir courtyard. The first time she was actually fighting to suppress bandits, she was surrounded by bandits in Wulang Mountain and almost killed.

Jin Feng has a big view, but his vision is too high.

He has learned history, knows how to mobilize the people, knows how to establish a more complete system of governance, but he does not know how to deal with protracted wars.

Fortunately, in the two years since he arrived in Dakang, Jin Feng had almost been fighting and had accumulated a lot of experience.

Now that I can’t count on others, Jin Feng can only rely on himself.

He put himself in Li Lingrui's position and analyzed what he should do if he was Li Lingrui.

Thinking of this, Jin Feng suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at Zhang Liang: "What is Chen Liangfeng doing recently?"

The enemy is not necessarily a friend, but it can definitely join forces to deal with a common enemy.

If Jin Feng was Li Lingxuan, when he encountered the current situation, he would definitely find a way to unite with King Chen Liangfeng of Qin.

"Chen Liangfeng?"

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment before remembering that Jin Feng was talking about King Qin, shook his head and replied: "I don't know, I haven't noticed him recently."

Then Jin Feng looked at the monkey.

The monkey also shook his head: "When I came back from Weizhou, Brother Liang arranged for me to reconnaise the Nanying Army camp. Where can I take care of the King of Qin?"

"Where are the people from Zhong Ming's group?" Jin Feng frowned and asked, "Hasn't anyone arranged to stare at Chen Liangfeng?"

When Zhang Liang's face turned red when he heard Jin Feng's question.

The monkeys led scouts, not spy stakes. Their main task was to monitor the battlefield, and it was understandable not to pay attention to the Qin King's feelings.

However, Zhong Ming's group is an intelligence agency under Jin Feng's command, especially Zhong Ming's group to the outside world. If you don't pay attention to the King of Qin, you will be dereliction of duty.

The nominal person in charge of Zhong Ming and his group is Zhang Liang.

Although Zhang Liang rarely asks about Zhong Ming and his group, if Zhong Ming and his group make mistakes, they really have to be investigated seriously, and Zhang Liang has an unshirkable responsibility.

Fortunately, Zhang Liang did not shirk responsibility, but took the initiative to admit his mistake: "Sir, Han Feng arranged a team leader for me. It was because I was dereliction of duty. I have not paid attention to Zhong Ming's group recently."

Jin Feng also knew about Zhang Liang and Zhong Ming’s team, so he didn’t say much, waved his hand and said, “Go and call the team leader over, I have something to ask him!”

"Yes!" Zhang Liang walked out of the stone house quickly and arranged for his personal guard to call someone.

Jin Feng looked at Zhang Liang's back and decided to take away the title of Zhang Liang Zhongming and his group leader after the battle ended.

When Zhong Ming and his group were handed over to Zhang Liang, it was because when Zhong Ming’s group was established, Han Feng had just joined the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. Jin Feng could not fully trust him, so he let Zhang Liang be the team leader.

In fact, after Zhong Ming’s group was established, Han Feng was always in charge, and Zhang Liang almost never asked about it.

Now Han Feng's loyalty is beyond doubt, and it is time to hand over Zhong Ming and his group to him.

This is recognition of Han Feng and responsibility for Zhang Liang.

The team leader arranged by Han Feng quickly followed Zhang Liang's personal guard into the stone house.

First, he looked around the people in the room, and then bowed to Jin Feng and asked: "Guo Qi, the captain of the seventh group of Zhong Ming Group, reported to Mr. Wang! Please give me instructions!"
