Qin Zaidao's words made Zhang Yue and Gu Minghai fall into deep thought, and the more they think about it, the more shocked they become.

The Central Plains has been upside down by the ant thieves, and their next goal may be the more prosperous Huainan.

Gushi has a moderate geographical location, few soldiers in the city, and is also the place where the grain storage is located. If the leader of the ant thief thinks like this, then Gushi is really the best place to fall, but this way Gushi is in danger.

"What Lord Qin said is very reasonable, but he ignores one of the most important joints." Jiang Feng smiled faintly. If they could not muster up their confidence and courage, then Gushicheng would have to give in.

"Ask for advice." Qin Zaidao's eyes lit up as well.

He also hoped that what he said was untrue? But if he was hiding the bell, the tragedy would eventually fall on him. So he knew that his views would greatly damage everyone's confidence, but he still had to say it.

Gu Minghai and Zhang Yue's eyes also fell on Jiang Feng.

"If Qin Quan becomes Zhu Yun or Yuan Huaihe, then Gushi will be hopeless. We can only open the city and ask for surrender. However, Qin Quan is not them, and the ant thief is not Caizhou or Liang's army." Jiang Feng said confidently.

"What's the difference?" Zhang Yue and Gu Minghai asked in unison.

"Ant thief, bandit, what is a bandit?" Jiang Feng smiled with a smile on his lips, "The mob, a tree without roots, a rat with short eyes, does not seek long-term, but seeks to see what is in front of him. Who dares to touch the edge of the 100,000 people? But the 100,000 people also put huge pressure on their leaders. There is a huge amount of food required for a meal, where can it be supplied? Even if a state and a government place can only be supplied for a while, and cannot provide it for a long time. Although Gushi has a stockpile of grain, it is like a drop in the bucket for a hundred thousand ants; Gushi has a moderate geographical location, but it is meaningless for an ant thief who cannot stop at all."

"Master Jiang means that ant thief cannot stay in the whole place?" Qin Zaidao's eyes already had a trace of enlightenment.

"Maybe it will, but it will never be now, and I will never choose Gushi." Jiang Feng's eyes turned to the north, "As time goes by, they will slowly understand that there is no way out for wandering around. Either they will truly win the recognition of the aristocratic families with force, or they will only use force to completely destroy the rules of this world. Now, I can't see that Qin Quan has this awareness and power."

The three of them nodded at the same time, agreeing deeply.

Although Li Tang Zhengshuo immediately reappeared after being deposed by Zhu Liang, just like the noble being painted with blood, its sacred light was overshadowed and could no longer reproduce its former glory.

But this is also a double-edged sword. Although Zhu Liang was a little clamored for a while, the orthodox concepts accumulated by the Li Tang Dynasty among the people over the past few hundred years could not be erased at once. On the contrary, the Zhu Liang clan was pushed to the stove of morality and steamed.

This is also the main reason why Zhu Liang occupied the hinterland of the Central Plains, had the largest territory, the largest population, the most powerful force, but it was difficult to make any breakthroughs.

Although the surrounding aristocratic families had no desire for Li Tang in their hearts, and even secretly rejoiced that it was cast down from the altar, their hostility towards Zhu was no different.

Similarly, for the ant thief, which is a force that is rising from the bottom of the grass, these aristocratic families are regarded as unacceptable heresy, and they are even more eager to put it to death.

"Listen to Master Jiang's analysis, we are still safe in Gu Shi?" Gu Minghai always felt that Jiang Feng's words still had an unfinished meaning.

"It may not be necessary. Qin Quan may not have this awareness, but it can only mean that the main force of ant thieves may not go south to Gushi, but there are 100,000 thieves, and several pieces under Qin Quan's command, as long as any of them is intended to go south to test, it will probably bring a catastrophe to Gushi. And I can be no exaggeration. This possibility is very high." Jiang Feng shook his head, "Maybe we will not face the main force of ant thieves, but if the thieves divide their troops, we will also face unpredictable dangers."

Gu Minghai took a deep breath and nodded: "Then what can we do now?"

"Build high walls, accumulate grain, and cultivate armor and soldiers." Jiang Feng gritted his teeth and said, "But this is not enough. We must take the initiative to weaken and defeat any existence that may bring us danger."

Building high walls, accumulating grain, and crafting armor and soldiers can all understand these three sentences, but the words behind them seem a bit profound.

Realizing that the meaning of his last sentence was a little blurred, Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief: "There are several departments under Qin Quan's command, Qin Heng, Sun Dao, Han Baling, Lin Ru, and Qin Quan's headquarters. The first four departments have more than 20,000 soldiers and horses. Any of them is a huge thing for us. Once we cross the Huai River, we may have to face an extremely difficult war, and this possibility does exist, so we have to make the worst plan."

"What should we do if one of them crosses the Huai River and the soldiers point at us?" Jiang Feng raised his eyes and looked at the three of them with a fierce look, but his tone was particularly heavy. "Twenty thousand ants thieves, ten times more than us. How can we smash their attempts? Just a passive sitting may be the end of the city being destroyed. We must take the initiative to weaken them as much as possible before they launch a siege, and then use the advantage of defending the danger to defeat them. Only in this way can we save it."

"Take the initiative?" Qin Zaidao frowned and continued to shake his head. He felt that Jiang Feng was a little taken for granted.

"We have only more than 2,000 soldiers and horses. How can we do this when facing ten times the crowd? And to be honest, our Gushi Army is still quite lacking in combat effectiveness. We are far from enough weapons, armor, city defense facilities and training levels. It can be said that it is difficult to improve too much in the short term. Now, let alone take the initiative to attack, even defense operations are worrying. Wars cannot be won by just a passion or confidence and courage. We all know this."

All three of them thought this was easy to say, but it was actually not feasible.

The Gushi Army was initially determined and the morale of the army was not stable. It might be okay to defend the city under the threat of the city being destroyed. However, it is only a matter of time before such passive defense of the city is ten times more than one's own enemies, but it is unimaginable to let them take the initiative to attack ten times more than their enemies.

These are the real situations that are placed in front of everyone.

As a general of the army, you cannot ignore this reality and only care about bragging about yourself. After fighting two small battles that are not even considered a battle, you will feel a little fluttering. This excessive expansion of self-confidence is quite dangerous, and Qin Zaidao and Gu Minghai feel that Jiang Feng obviously has this trend.

Zhang Yue may be better, but Qin said that Gu Minghai is a discerning person. If you can't convince them of what you take out, it will be difficult to get their full support.

Jiang Feng, who was locked in the deep eyebrows, did not answer for a while, and only said after a long time: "I have my own way."
