After receiving the news, Yang Sichang did not hesitate at all and immediately sent someone to report it to Hong Chengchou to discuss the major plan together.

Yang Sichang was still very impressed by Hong Chengchou's ability to lead troops. He was indeed a talented general, in charge of a huge army, in an orderly and well-informed manner, and rare talent. Although he had a very bad reputation, he was indeed a master in leading troops and was superior to most generals of the Ming Dynasty.

What's the use of a good reputation these days? Imagine that all the officials in the court have a very good reputation, but what can they bring to the Ming Dynasty and win a battle for them?

Hong Chengchou has always been a person that China fears.

Hong Chengchou was also having breakfast, just stir-fried rice noodles and dried salted radish. When he heard such horrible news, he was holding up chopsticks and preparing to pick up the dried salted radish in the bowl, but his movements solidified.

After being shocked, he reacted very quickly and immediately rushed to the map to watch the situation between the two sides.

If Hong Chengchou doesn't look at it, he will stop. As soon as he ran to the map, he found something terrible. On the map, it was quite intuitive. That is, they were trapped by the Chinese army, and the other party lured them to come to Jinan, so that they could go deeper alone, surrounded them, and let them have no return.

Hong Chengchou said in shock: "Not good! We have fallen into the trap."

His reaction was the same as Yang Sichang. The two generals looked like each other and could see the cold sweat on each other's forehead and the fear in their eyes.

Hong Chengchou said in a trembling voice: "What should we do?" At this time, he had not put down the chopsticks in his hand, but he was not aware of them.

Yang Sichang said: "What else can I do? It must be a retreat with all my might, but it is conceivable that since the Chinese thieves lure us here, they will definitely ambush many troops on the road. It is easy for us to go back when we come."

The two of them were still discussing major plans in the military camp. For a while, they didn't know what to do, and the entire army was noisy and boiling, like a blow-out nest.

Whether it is Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang, they are very strict in their military management. They are not allowed to play and play in the army. If they make noise like this, they will definitely kill the Weijun sticks.

But now, they don’t need to investigate and they all know why the military is making noise. This is because the news has leaked out. Such a big thing is almost a collapse of the sky and the earth, and it is impossible for them to hide and cannot be blocked.

Especially Yang Sichang's army, hundreds of thousands of troops, basically from the Wei and Beizhili areas of Tianjin. Their hometowns were captured by the Chinese army, and the old nests were destroyed by the Chinese army. Most of them received the news, which made them very scared and shocked.

The moment before, they were still proud and proud, they were ready to cross the Ji River, head straight to Jinan, break through Jinan Prefecture, capture Liu Yuanqiao alive, and make unparalleled achievements. But in a blink of an eye, they fell from heaven to hell and fell into an unprecedented dilemma.

Anyone who is in the army knows how difficult their difficulties are now, and they are in a state of being half surrounded by others.

Hong Chengchou sighed: "The people under his command have also received the news, and they have started to make trouble."

Yang Sichang took a breath and said, "The teeth of the Liu father and son are so good. They have actually decided to encircle and annihilate our millions of troops!"

The other party wanted to lure both of their armies here, then encircle them and destroy them in one fell swoop.

This is a army of more than 700,000! How big is the teeth and ambitions you have to dare to make such a plan?

Without the call of the two generals, all the generals under his command rushed to the commander's tent to discuss the plan with them. Their faces looked very ugly.

Especially these generals, they knew more than soldiers, and they knew how bad and terrible the situation was. They were surrounded by a huge siege, like a terrible vortex. If they were not careful, they would collapse and their entire army would be wiped out.

Everyone asked the generals one after another what to do.

From the great shock at the beginning, Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang began to calm down. At this time, they all understood that no matter how scared or helpless they were, they had no choice. The urgent thing in front of them was to break off contact with the enemy and bring these hundreds of thousands of troops back to the Baoding camp.

Logically speaking, Yang Sichang's Eastern Route Army should have returned to Tianjin Weiying, but their nests had been captured by the Chinese army, and they could not go back, so they could only find a place to settle down.

Although Yang Sichang had an army of 300,000, he was not sure of winning. He was able to counterattack Tianjin Wei and retake Tianjin Wei from Liu Bu.

This is the person Liu Bu, the one they feared the most. The other party dispatched a large army of sea and land to capture Tianjin Wei, and it would be difficult to retake it back.

Hong Chengchou immediately began to deploy his subordinates' troops, asking them to pack up their luggage and prepare to retreat immediately.

At this time, the soldiers under their subordinates began to refuse. They all raised a very realistic question, and retreat now! What do these soldiers eat and wear?

You should know that they were fooled by the court to send troops to attack Jinan without military news, hoping to support the war and eat from the enemy. But now, the enemy has not fought and the benefits have not been obtained. Instead, they have to rush back to the Baoding camp eight or nine hundred miles away. What do you eat and what are you wearing along the way?

One more important question is that these hundreds of thousands of troops returned to the Baoding camp. Can they accommodate so many troops? What do these soldiers eat and wear?

But these officers and soldiers knew that Bei Zhili had been ruined by them. In other words, there was no oil or water to squeeze, just a pile of soil and stones. So many of them went back to eat tree bark or soil?

This situation really made Hong Chengchou and the others difficult, and they all knew how dangerous the situation in front of them was.

In this case, it is really a fool to attack Jinan. The other party doesn’t have to fight you, even if you hide in the city and delay, you will be dragged to death.

But there is another difficulty. Their hundreds of thousands of troops quickly withdrew from the Baoding Camp. This place is nearly thousands of miles away, and they have robbed them all along the way. There is no food. What should they do?

They were able to overcome these difficulties, break through the layers of obstacles of the Chinese army, and return to the Baoding camp. Where these hundreds of thousands of troops passed, they were like locusts passing through the border, without leaving any grass. After arriving in Northern Zhili, this place was even poorer, and a hundred miles away. What did everyone eat? Hundreds of thousands of people and dozens of mouths.

Such a request is really a worry. As we all know, this really responds to the dilemma.

Hong Chengchou sighed: "Liu Qingzhi is really a military expert. It's such a simple strategy, but we are overwhelmed and exhausted. The army of hundreds of thousands of people in the court did not exert its actual power, but it consumed its strength in the dragging world."

This problem that Yang Sichang also thought of was a headache for him.

In fact, Yang Sichang used to read military books and always studied how to deploy troops and use magical strategies to defeat the enemy. He never took care of logistics affairs. Without that military book, he could write logistics affairs, which made them very troubled.

During the period when he was often in charge of the army, how to get enough food to fill these soldiers' mouths took him most of his time and consumed a lot of energy, so that he thought that he had only a lot of knowledge and a lot of his brains, but he had not used it.

When they arrived at such a situation, they were really in a dilemma and were in a distressed city.

This is really a great ups and downs in life. The moment before, they were still full of energy and were waiting to enter the most glorious moment of their lives. The next moment, they were in an absolute dilemma and were unable to stand on their own under the layout of the enemy.

When the generals saw that the commanders stopped talking, they knew that they had no good ideas. In fact, at this time, everyone knew that even gods could not think of any good ideas. They had hundreds of thousands of people and dozens of mouths to support these hundreds of thousands of people, which was very difficult.

They were surprised that after attacking Shandong, they would have captured so many cities so easily. This was the intention of the Chinese thieves. They gave up these cities. Don’t you see that most of the cities they occupied have been cleared and will not leave food for them. This has made many of them unable to eat enough.

It can be seen that the Chinese army understands their weaknesses very well and hits them with one stick. I believe that the other party will continue to implement such policies. As long as the other party continues to implement such policies, they will be able to achieve success and fight against their seven inches.

At this time, even the most optimistic people knew that before they could open it, they had already lost and were defeated by the temple calculation.

The court was very smart and used the tactic of fighting to support war. However, the other party also saw the court's dilemma, so they gave up these cities and implemented scorched earth policies. Their army occupied so many cities and controlled such a large territory, but there was no food, and most people were hungry.

I guess the other party just wanted to use the policy of delaying them to drag them down.

Since ancient times, the two armies have fought and made their own plans. Everyone knows that the most formal thing is to cut off the other party's food route, make the other party short of food, the morale of the army is in chaos, and the self-destruction is collapsed.

They were already full of confidence, but they thought that we had 300,000 troops here, and so many troops here, and we could not go anywhere. Now they remembered that they had no food at all, and they were actually a beggar's army.

Three hundred thousand troops, so what?

During the Battle of Changping, Zhao Kuo had 400,000 troops. After falling short of food, even if the enemy was killed, the enemy would still be killed. How good is our current situation than the Zhao army during the Battle of Changping?
