After the military meeting ended, the centurions left the tent one by one.
The first captain, Cao Su, was detained on the spot and had a secret conversation with Wang Meng.
"Cao Su, come closer."
Wang Meng waved to Cao Su, and Cao Su came to his side.
On the table is a map of Jiangning Prefecture, with mountains, rivers, and marked locations in great detail.
Cao Su saw a red line drawn on the map from Pingcheng to Qingluo River.
"Sir, this is..."
"My preliminary consideration of the marching route."
Wang Meng sighed: "After the establishment of the new rebel army, you and I were transferred out of the government army. According to the commander, if we seek to defeat the Wanping Army's partial division in the future, our department will still be the vanguard force."
Didn't you like to be a pioneer before? Why now?
Cao Su looked at Wang Meng in surprise, feeling that Wang Meng was very different from before.
His heart moved, could it be because of Wei Kai?
So Cao Su probed slightly and said, "Sir, I heard that Master Wei was transferred from Pingcheng?"
Wang Meng had been depressed because of this incident, so he was not surprised when Cao Su suddenly pointed it out.
This incident spread throughout the government army, and it was normal for Cao Su to hear about it.
Wang Meng shook his head and sighed, "That's what I'm worried about."
"You don't know how important Brother Wei is to our Pingcheng army."
"Others don't know many things, but if it weren't for Wei Kai's plan, our Pingcheng might have been defeated by the Wanping Army."
"If Pingcheng is missing you and me, it's just that it's missing two martial arts warriors. If Wei Kai is missing, it's just missing a brain that can turn defeat into victory."
Wang Meng spoke highly of Wei Kai.
Cao Su only knew that the previous strategy of encircling and suppressing partial troops was proposed by Wei Kai.
He didn't know the rest of the things. According to Wang Meng, Pingcheng's success today was all due to Wei Kai?
"I don't know what the commander is thinking. Once Wei Kai leaves, I don't even have anyone to discuss the march route with. It's really annoying!"
Wang Meng slapped the table. He was too strong. This kind of table could not withstand his destruction.
With a light tap, the table cracked on the spot and the maps fell to the ground.
"General, don't be angry."
Cao Su picked up the map, rolled it up into a ball and gave it to Wang Meng.
Wang Meng asked curiously: "Don't you want to suggest a marching route to me? I've already mentioned this..."
"ah?"
Cao Su never expected Wang Meng to ask such a question.
For a long time, Cao Su has positioned himself very clearly as a crude warrior who only knows how to fight and kill.
His external image is also the same. Unexpectedly, Wang Meng would actually ask him for advice now.
Cao Su then thought about Ji Qiu who was guarding outside the house.
Ji Qiu is Wang Meng's direct disciple. He has worked with Cao Su before. He knows some of Cao Su's work style. Could it be that Ji Qiu recommended him?
Cao Su definitely misunderstood Ji Qiu. Although Ji Qiu was familiar with Cao Su, the only person who really knew Cao Su's style was Counselor Wu Ming, who had cut off grain with Cao Su together.
Wu Ming and Wei Kai had previously reported Cao Su's methods.
Before Wei Kai left, he made a special trip to Wang Meng and asked Wang Meng to discuss everything with Cao Su.
Wang Meng always followed Wei Kaiyan's advice.
Wei Kai immediately recommended Cao Su, and Wang Meng was overjoyed, thinking he had found a life-saving piece of wood.
He looked at Cao Su with hope in his eyes.
It’s not easy to say no directly in front of your direct leadership.
Cao Su had no choice but to reluctantly reopen the map.
Cao Su, who was squatting on the ground, studied it carefully and said nothing for a long time.
Wang Meng couldn't help but ask: "How is it?"
Cao Su said seriously: "General, I think you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time."
"What's the meaning?"
Cao Su said: "Our route is too straightforward and simple, and the places we pass and go to are almost all straight lines. If I were Wanpingjun, I only need to get the information from the previous point to guess the next march.
Target."
Wang Meng: "Keep talking."
Cao Su pointed at Jiangning Mansion and Qingluo River on the map: "Our ultimate goal is to find the partial divisions of the Wanping Army and eliminate them."
"Where is the partial division and where is the goal of our march?"
"Is it just Ancheng in the south of Jiangning Mansion?"
Wang Meng was confused: "Isn't it true? That's what the commander meant, to break the city to wait for the enemy troops."
Cao Su said: "If you can't wait for the partial troops to come, I am the Wanping Army. When the Pingcheng army leaves, I will lead the army to attack. If our nest is destroyed, we will be like a rootless tree."
Wang Meng’s head was trembling: “What can we do?”
Cao Su said: "So, the road must be taken step by step. If you take too big a step, you will easily get caught."
"It is unrealistic to defeat Anseong in one step. It is better to directly attack Anseong Prefectural Army, create a trend of our emergence, and then quickly return to Pingcheng and wait for the Wanping Army to move forward."
He spoke eloquently: "After all, our purpose is only to eliminate the effective strength of the Wanping Army in the field battle."
After saying that, he closed the map and gave it back to Wang Meng.
Wang Meng nodded and said solemnly: "That's what I mean too."
"You really spoke to my heart!"
"As expected of my first captain."
........
In the inner city.
There were some conflicts between Pegasus Village and the big players.
Rumors about the new city lord Ji Ye began to fly everywhere.
These rumors are all negative rumors.
This directly caused Ji Ye's public support rate to fall below a historical low.
Ji Ye himself didn't pay much attention to it. In his eyes, it was just a group of boring pariahs talking about boring things. So what if he knew about it?
Their Pegasus Village has always been like this, for decades.
The wealthy families in the city were very panicked, and after several conflicts, they began to retreat into their houses.
Then some secret meetings began in the residences of some big families.
Inner city, Dong family.
The Dong family was originally one of the middle-class families in the inner city, and their business has been doing very well in the past few years.
In the last Lingzhou warrior incident, the Dong family wisely stood on the same side as the old city lord and completed some tasks that the old city lord wanted to see.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, the Dong family gained momentum and became a big family in the inner city.
It wasn't until Pingcheng got a new city lord that this situation changed.
The Dong family's Zhuangzi occupies a very large area, showing the family's impressive heritage.
At this time, in the Dong family residence, in the main meeting hall.
Representatives from several big families in the inner city gathered together.
"This is not okay. Wei Tao wants to take our hard-earned money, and Pegasus Village comes to shit on our heads again. This life is really unbearable!"
"It's true that the jackal has left and the tiger and leopard have returned."
"We must unite and protest against them. This world still belongs to the Qianyuan Dynasty, and it is not their turn to bend the law for personal gain and do whatever they want!"
When there are more people, the family representatives are filled with indignation.
Most of the family representatives here are very old elders.
For some relatively small families in the inner city, the clan leader personally came forward.
The pressure is indeed too great. Pegasus Village is famous for its love of mergers. If Pingcheng falls into the hands of Pegasus Village, then Pegasus Village really wants to annex a certain company. With a knife on their head, who dares to say no?
Character?
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
The head of the Dong family who presided over the meeting was Dong Li, the father of Dong Xuan.
He is a gray-haired old man who is worried and tired about family affairs.
Dong Li said calmly: "The worst thing about the big families in our city is that they don't have their own force. Now everyone is fighting for their own benefit, and the situation is very critical."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately sneered and said, "Why, are you, the Dong family, going to be that wallflower again?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Before Dong Li could speak, other family representatives scolded him on his behalf.
The Dong family was one of the few families that developed during the previous wave of disasters for large families.
But if the Dong family is excluded just because of this, other families will not agree.
Nowadays, the Dong family is one of the big families in the inner city and has close ties with the government army. They are the ones who should be striven for and won over.
Otherwise, the meeting would not be held at Dong's house.
There was no wave on Dong Li's face. He said calmly: "What we want to do is to get a chance to breathe under the rule of Pegasus Village. We just want to live. Our unity
The target is Pegasus Village, I hope everyone can keep a calm mind."
What Dong Li said makes sense, but with so many people sitting here, no one can come up with constructive opinions.
Most people will only complain and lament in vain.
A family representative asked: "Mr. Dong, so what do you think we should do in the current situation?"
Everyone looked at Dong Li.
Although Dong Li was a wealthy businessman, he was quite wealthy.
In Pingcheng, most families are inherited from their ancestors, and Dong Li was able to start from scratch and reach the level of a big family. His ability should not be underestimated.
Dong Li shook his head: "I don't have any good ideas."
Everyone was very disappointed when they heard what Dong Li said.
Is there really nothing we can do?
After Pegasus Village settles in, I am afraid that the big households in Pingcheng will face a new wave of catastrophe.
"But, I think."
Dong Li spoke again: "If we want Pegasus Village to pay attention to our demands, then we should first have a strength that is enough for them to pay attention."
"The reason Pegasus Village is arrogant and domineering is because they feel that their strength is enough to suppress everything in Pingcheng."
"After the government troops leave, they will be the number one force in Pingcheng."
Dong Li looked at everyone: "You must know that in addition to the government army, there are forces in this city that are enough to compete with Pegasus Village, but they have never appeared before."
When everyone heard what Dong Li said, their minds were spinning wildly.
Is Pingcheng still powerful enough to compete with Pegasus Village?
