Wu Nian took Wei Ru back to the Fuhan General's Mansion, but first asked Wei Ru to sit in the main room. He returned to the back house, changed into a purple brocade robe, and then led his soldiers along the corridor,

Arrived at the main hall.

By this time, all the civil and military personnel had arrived.

"General."

Everyone stood up together and bowed to Wu Nian neatly.

"No courtesy. Sit down." Wu Nian said calmly, then came to sit on the Grand Master's chair on the right side of the main seat, sitting in an extremely upright posture.

"Tea."

Wu Nian raised his head and said to the door.

"Yes." A soldier responded, turned around and went down.

All the civil and military officials cupped their hands and sat down together. Soon after, four soldiers came in from outside carrying steaming tea cups. They bent down and put the tea cups one by one before retreating.

"This is the wild mountain tea from Beishan Castle. You guys haven't had it for a long time. Drink this tea first." Wu Nian smiled slightly, picked up the hot tea cup with both hands, opened the lid, and blew a few breaths.

Drink and drink until the tea is gone.

Wenwu either quietly sips tea, or puts it down after a few sips. Not everyone likes this wild mountain tea.

"I just went to the military camp of the Lieutenant of the Guard and watched the training of the soldiers. The soldiers are already very elite and ready for a battle. Food will be collected soon. Now we can discuss where to send troops.

"

Wu Nian put down the tea cup, his eyes flashing, and said: "Soldiers are like fire. If fire does not burn the enemy to death, it will hurt itself."

"If your troops are full and you don't fight, you will lose your spirit."

"The arrow is on the string and must be fired."

Wu Nian said it categorically. As long as there are no major changes, this battle must be fought.

And Wu Nian also said it from the beginning: to send troops in autumn.

The civil and military officials have been thinking about it for several months, so they naturally have ideas in mind.

"General, I think it's better to attack steadily. Take down all the six county towns in Yingqing Prefecture. We are guarding the mountainous area, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In comparison, the ten thousand households around us. Puguli's temper is very bad, relatively

It’s easier to deal with.”

Liu Zhixing, dressed in a blue gown, sat in the top position of the civil service, bowed his hands and said with confidence on his face.

Power breeds virtue.

He has been working with Wu Nian for many years. His age is getting older, his power is getting stronger, and his official prestige is getting stronger. He is very impressive when he is in high office.

"Liu Changshi is right. I also think it would be more beneficial to send troops to the north first and separate Yingqing Mansion." Wei Ru clasped his fists and agreed.

The other Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng also agreed.

"General Puguli also spent money to deal with us. He built [Yingqing Pass] and occupied the highway. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to break through Yingqing Pass."

Chen Jiagui shook his head, showing a look of embarrassment, and then said: "It will be more beneficial to us to attack Hou Wancheng southward and gain access to the sea."

"I think we should attack south." Tieniu touched his stubble-covered chin and decided to stand on the same front as Chen Jiagui.

"I also agree to attack Hou Wancheng. But it is not because I occupy the seaport that I can contact Chu and have salt. Because there is a small plain along the coast, which is more suitable for my cavalry to roam."

Feng Chong is indeed a thorn in the side, and his entry point is very novel.

But he is right, cavalry has no power in mountainous areas. Only when it goes out of mountainous areas can cavalry exert its power.

Tieniu and Feng Chong refused to deal with them and said angrily: "Your cavalry is too small. Even on flat ground, you can't defeat the Mongolian cavalry."

"How do you know if you've never done it before?" Feng Chong, who was not used to Tieniu, sneered.

Once these two guys started arguing, there would be no end to it. Wu Nian frowned, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay. You all agreed to send troops to Hou Wancheng to occupy the seaport. Can you say less."

"snort."

Feng Chong and Tieniu each snorted coldly and did not dare to argue again.

Wu Nian changed his sitting posture, from standing tall to leaning on the armrest on the right, assuming a more relaxed and natural posture, and fell into deep thought.

"Theoretically, the area of ​​three counties is a place for four battles. Troops can be sent from the southeast, northwest, and south. But now the opinions of the civil and military officials are either to attack Puguli in the north, or to attack Hou Wancheng in the south."

"There are fewer options. But for a while, it is more difficult to make a decision."

"Puguli has repaired Yingqing Pass, which is a difficult point to break through."

"I'm not the only one recuperating. Ten thousand households in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty are also recuperating and building fortifications to prepare for war."

When Wu Nian thought of this, he felt very embarrassed. Now it is no better than before. Back then, he was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, so he could just do it.

Now that I have accumulated a little family fortune, I need to be a little more steady.

Sending troops north or south may lead to completely different results.

After Wu Nian thought for a while, he raised his head and asked Liu Zhixing: "Where is Xiong Wu? Can he free up some troops to attack Hou Wancheng?"

"If we can occupy the county towns in Guangchuan Prefecture separately, our strength can be combined. It will be of great help in defeating the Meng Yuan people."

Liu Zhixing gave a bitter laugh, shook his head and said: "General Xiong Wuwo is already in a state of distress when facing Chunyuan's soldiers from sixty thousand households. If we hadn't supported him with our guerrilla attacks on the Mengyuan people's grain roads, he would have been defeated long ago.

Already."

"waste."

Feng Chong immediately interrupted with a look of contempt on his face.

The apparent military strength of both sides is actually quite equal.

Xiong Wuwo has 80,000 horse infantry, Chunyuan has 60,000 households, and more than 70,000 soldiers. Both sides are backed by the same country, and they can suffer losses in battle, but they can continuously supply supplies from the rear.

But Xiong Wuwo just can't beat Chunyuan.

Everyone ignored Feng Chong. This guy looked down on anyone except himself. In fact, Xiong Wuwo had already done a very good job.

Including Chunyuan, there are six generals of ten thousand households.

The number of soldiers on both sides is equal, but the combat effectiveness is not necessarily equal. The generals have a decisive difference.

Xiong Wuwo can fight Chunyuan for so long, which is already very impressive.

Everyone fell silent again, thinking about how to convince Wu Nian to attack in the direction they wanted to attack.

In fact, there is another way. But some people don’t know how to say it, and some people dare not say it.

You can contact Goguryeo and attack Wan Yanxian and Jin Ruiyun of Guangyang Mansion together.

Everyone knew that Wu Nian would never do this.

But is it south or north?

From which direction should we attack?

“Da da da!!!”

At this moment, a soldier rushed in quickly from outside. Everyone present frowned, this was a serious military meeting.

How dare the soldiers break in?
