It is no problem to recover the East Road, but the steps to recover are very sophisticated. "This East Road cannot be regained in a hurry for the time being." Feng Ran said: "If you trap the East Road first, the more you drag the battle, the more you will be beneficial."

Generally, the sooner the battle is, the better it will be? Why is there any saying that the more you delay the battle situation, the better it will be? He Yueqi said: "The longer you have to delay the better? How do you say this?"

"First, the reason why our Feng army did not take advantage of the retreat of Wuhei Barbarians and fought to the north road in one go was because they were blocked by Douhe. Crossing the water and fighting, the losses were too great. Just like when our three kingdoms in the middle road used the Weishui and Chilin River as natural dangers to block the Wuhei Barbarians' attack. If the Wuhei Barbarians were huddled in the north road and blocking the Douhei River in the middle, they could not fight, and we could not fight either... They had crossed the floating bridge on the river, and once we fought, they would destroy the bridge. We were not unable to fight, but we would lose a lot." Besides, the Wuhei Barbarians who retreated back to the north road were still more than one million, plus the 500,000 and 600,000 on the east road, the total strength was equal to that of the Feng army, which was enough to fight. The Feng army could not risk crossing the river to fight, forcing Wuhei Barbarians to be anxious.

He Yue said: "Then you won't go around the upper reaches of the Douhe River and enter Fengmeng North Road from the northern foot of Baixue Mountain to catch them off guard."

"You can take a detour upstream and head into the north road." However, the opponent still has more than one million soldiers. He traveled a long distance and was trapped in his own way. It is not certain who wins and loses this battle. Feng Ran continued: "But now is not the time to take a detour to fight them. The key is how to consume their troops."

He Yue asked: "How to consume it?"

Feng Ran raised his hand and rested under his head, saying, "Use the barbarians trapped in the east road to consume. I will trap the barbarians on the east road and not kill them. Let's see if their barbarians on the north road come to rescue them? There are 500,000 and 600,000 barbarians trapped in the east road, and the food and grass can be temporarily solved on the east road, but the military needs are replenished and cut off. The barbarians on the north road must come to rescue them. If they want to send troops to rescue them, they must cross the river and go south. I will wait to attack them. As long as the barbarians on the east road are not dead, the barbarians on the north road will attempt to cross the river and go south to rescue them. At that time, we will defend the south bank and use less force to consume their troops. Therefore, we should temporarily keep the barbarians on the east road to serve as this bait and lead the barbarians on the north road to cross the river to rescue them."

Consumption is definitely not one-to-one consumption, it requires a less cost and consume more troops from the opponent.

He Yue knew that he had only learned some basic skills in military arts, and he definitely could not compare to Feng Ran when talking about war. He differently argued, and said, "What about the second one?"

"Second, after all, there are 500,000 or 600,000 people in the Wuhei Barbarians trapped on the east road. They are directly covered up and killed, for fear that they will fight back before death, and will be in a hurry to jump over the wall, which will cause our army to suffer more damage. Anyway, they have surrounded them, so we don't have to worry. While using them as bait, we also have to consume their military supplies and weaken their combat effectiveness... and wait until the right time to annihilate them, we can minimize the losses."

“Is there any third one?”

Feng Ran said: "Thirdly, we can't let Jian State get a bargain. If we want to restore the country, we have to let them fight by themselves. How can we fight to the death? If the people die, we will recover the East Road, and let Jian State jump out to receive the fruit of victory... Our Feng State cannot always be a sucker." Last time, the Ting State jumped out and picked up a huge fruit of victory, which has always made many officials of Feng State angry.

At the beginning, the agreement signed with Jian was that Feng's country would provide supplies and armaments, and Jian's country would provide people to help Feng's army attack Shofeng Fort. Then, the Feng's army helped Jian's country recover its homeland and restore its country.

However, Zheng Xiunian, Feng Ran and the Zheng family army both overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Jian army. In addition to having a few huge sea ships that could pass through the sea, the Jian army was in a variety of situations in the battle to attack the Shofeng Castle, and was dragging their legs down. The combat ability was worse than that of Ran Xiangma's grass-roots team!

Later, in the battle report written to Feng Ran, Zheng Jia and Yang Lingchao made a detailed report on the situation of Jian's army during the battle. They blamed Feng Ran's joint Jian's army for fighting, which was a defeat.

In fact, it cannot be blamed for not being able to fight, because Jian State is basically a country that does not fight. Jian State is located at the south end of Fengmeng East Road, with Hongwan Ocean to the east and south, and adjacent to Zhe State from the west and bordered by Zhe State from the Chilin River, and only bordered by Wu State in the north. Jian State and Wu State are friendly and friendly, and their relations with Zhe State are not so good, but both countries are weak in national strength and cannot defeat Chilin River. Everyone is across the river and they are safe. Jian State has basically never fought a war except for suppressing the riots of common people in China. Jian State is only adjacent to Zhe State and Zhe State, and Wu State is a friendly neighbor and will not fight him.

We, Zhe Country, could not defeat Chilin River, so for hundreds of years, Jian Country never paid attention to military and military strength. No matter how fierce the other countries in Fengmeng Mainland were in war, it had nothing to do with Jian Tian. Correspondingly, after Jian Country removed the factor of war with other countries, emperors of all dynasties could only do something in terms of trade. Because Jian Country's territory was facing the east and south sides of the sea, Jian Country vigorously developed maritime shipping and maritime trade. Although Jian Country was remote in the southeast corner of Fengmeng Mainland, the country had a small land and poor resources, it was a very rich country.

This is why when they saw that Wu Hei Barbarians came, Jian Guo was helping Wu Guo defend the city but immediately fled to the sea - they had no ability to defend the country alone.

Similarly, Jian State was not able to restore the country alone. Even if Feng State besieged the Eastern Barbarian Army and cut off the connection and supplies between the Eastern Barbarian Army and the Northern Barbarian Army, for Jian State, the barbarian army entrenched on the Eastern Barbarian Army is still a trapped beast that can hurt people.

He Yue asked: "How are you going to restore Jian's country?" Their goal is to prevent Jian's country from restoring Jian's country, okay?

Feng Ran said: "It keeps exhausting. Let Jian cut off the supply reinforcements of the barbarian army from the North Road in the Hongwan Ocean. Let Jian watch the barbarian army on the East Road gradually weaken. Our Feng army will not easily send troops to directly recover the east road, but it depends on how long will the Jian country endure the troops."

He Yue was a little worried: "What if Jian Jun really regained the East Road?"

"Jian Kingdom is exiled to the sea. With the size of their sea ships, what pirates dare to touch them? In the past ten years, they have been wandering on the sea. The soldiers at that time have become old, and the new generation is even less popular." Feng Ran said: "I think that comparing Jian Kingdom with Wu Hei Barbarians, Jian Kingdom is equivalent to a weak scholar. Wu Hei Barbarians is an injured warrior, and his physical strength is still declining due to their injuries. You say, who will win if the scholar fights with the warriors?"

He Yue thought for a while: "Martial man, fighting wars all require experience."

Feng Ran suddenly turned around, looked at He Yue, his eyes shining with a light, and praised: "He Yue, you have been with me for so long, and finally you know a little about fighting!"

"Hmph."

Feng Ran said: "I just wait for Jian State to not help but fight with Wu Hei Barbarians. When they are defeated, I will come forward to negotiate with them and help them restore the country. At least, Jian State becomes a vassal state of Feng State." Feng Ran said that it is a vassal state, not a vassal state. The vassal state is equivalent to a vassal state, but a small state is included in a big country and is not independent. As for how to merge the vassal state into Feng State later, that is He Yue's business.

Feng Yue shared a pillow in the same bed, and the two were so close to each other. Feng Ran lay on his side, facing He Yue's face. Under the dim light, Feng Ran clearly saw several white hairs on He Yue's temples. Since he discovered that He Yue had white hair, Feng Ran did not dare to pull it out, but the white hair still rushes to emerge from He Yue's temples. In the black black hair, it looks particularly eye-catching and striking. Every time he combs He Yue's hair, Feng Ran always wants to cover his white hair with black hair, as if he can't see the white hair, and he can forget the rapid passage of time. Feng Ran looked at Bai Hair and was already asking: "Drag the east road first, where is the north road?"

"The North Road can only be dragged." Feng Ran said after a long time of recovery: "Don't look at the fact that we regained the West Road of the Middle Road and surrounded the barbarians of the East Road. The North Road is the key to the Fog Hei Dynasty's foothold in my Fengmeng Continent. They can send reinforcements to the North Road through Million Avenue at any time... I think they will definitely defend the North Road. We can only defend the south bank of Douhe, confront them across the river, and then find opportunities to consume their soldiers as much as possible." Feng Ran said relaxed because he knew that they were not discussing state affairs seriously, but He Yue liked to lie on the bed before going to bed, talk to him, and blow the wind on the pillow.

"As you said, when will Wuhei be completely driven out of our Fengmeng Continent?"

Feng Ran said: "For at least five years, our Feng Kingdom will have no suppressive advantage in fighting against Wuhei. If you can easily fight against it, both sides will suffer losses."

"What about five years later?"

"Whether you can completely expel the Wu Hei Barbarian in five years depends on you."

He Yueqi said: "Look at me? I can't fight."

Feng Ran said: "Deciding the winning or losing of a war is not only on the battlefield. If you can make the development of the West Road in the Middle Road, keep the momentum like in the past three or four years, recruit more troops to train, strengthen ordnance forging, improve the level of iron smelting training, and promote new iron smelting. Five years later, our army will have overall improvements in military supplies and combat capabilities. If we fight against Wuhei, we should have a chance of winning." Feng Ran said: "In addition, the domestic situation of the Wuhei Dynasty seems to be unstable... Otherwise, Emperor Sular would not suddenly rush back to Wuhei Continent, leaving only a general Kanriser to take charge of the overall situation in Fengmeng Continent." To be honest, the Wuhei Barbarian Army was forced to retreat to the North Road by Fengguo, and the situation was in a place, which really has a lot to do with Kanriser's hastily issued a retreat order. This also shows that although Kanriser was a general, his military talent was far worse than Emperor Sular.
