Duke's Mansion

Jibei Hou looked at the sack in front of him, his face changed drastically, and he slammed heavily on the ground, roaring: "Incompetent, all incompetent."

When he was angry, he felt a little hot and he untied his clothes. He sacrificed his sacrifices to heaven and earth that day and established his own duke, he was a little uneasy, as if he had lost important things and his face turned pale.

Chen Zhi also looked bad and said, "Duke, since the last time he sacrificed to heaven and earth, an earthquake occurred, and there have been unfavorable rumors among the people."

"Our army is a little tired when attacking. The enemy counties are unwilling to fight in the field and defend, and it is difficult to catch the fighter. If the generals refuse to fight, they should not blame them too much."

"However, our state headquarters has recruited 50,000 people to train. Once it is completed, it can break the blockade."

"That's right, the army is the foundation. Just wait for 50,000 troops to be trained to break through the bamboo." Jibei Hou murmured, a kind of fatigue emerged in Jibei Hou's heart, and sighed: "That's all."

Chen looked straight and felt a little uneasy, so he secretly comforted: "The 50,000 army was trained, and this is when the Duke Feilong was in the sky, how could he feel panic?"

Sea surface

"Hu, Hu" The wind kept blowing the sails forward, and the cold sea water hit the side of the ship in waves, splashing out waves. The layers of dark clouds in the sky continued to move with the wind, changing colors quickly, and the darkness was painted and gloomy.

"Ba,ba,ba"

The rain fell in the dark clouds and hit the deck continuously. Inside and outside the conference room, there were two rows of armored soldiers, armored and sword-proof guards, and the sailors were shining with their eyes. They could tell at a glance that they were elite soldiers and generals.

Indoor, the specially made conference room was very wide even on the boat, with a small window, and it looked dark. The prince sat in the middle, Pei Ziyun was on the left and Zhongqin Bo was on the right, and there was a map of Yingzhou in front of him. He originally wanted to build a sand table, but the sea was bumpy, so he had to give up and use the map.

The map is hung on the wall of the conference room, and dozens of them will sit behind the three people in three rows. Several candles are lit in the room, making the room brighter.

A young captain stood under the map to report, holding a straight wooden stick as thick as a finger, constantly clicking on the map, saying: "Recently, Chenglin County has successfully resisted the bandits, Dongping County and Huyuan County are all stationed in the city to defend, which also prevents the enemy from further expanding."

"According to the order of the real person, the three states behind these counties have rhythmically drawn troops to the front line counties, and there is a defense line behind them."

"After being blocked, Jibei Hou did not attack again."

Only a hundred miles away from Yingzhou, the information is constantly being sent. This introduction method is requested and designed by Pei Ziyun, so that the generals should clearly understand their intentions.

Prince Cheng didn't know much military affairs when he was young, listened with all his ears and didn't speak. Bo Zhongqin didn't have much scruples, stared at the map, and after a while, he said: "It seems that those who have more temples win, and the real person's plan is wonderful. Now the enemy's front has declined, and the Marquis of Jibei is trapped. As long as the imperial army arrives, it can sweep away."

When Zhong Qinbo said this, the three rows of generals behind him were stunned, looked at each other, and bowed and said, "The real talent, the Marquis of Jibei will be destroyed."

Pei Ziyun didn't care either. He glanced at the map. Judging from the current situation, the Marquis of Jibei was trapped. Although he was not an imperial envoy, he had also obtained the king's order and could watch it.

Opening his eyes, he looked at the map hanging on the wall, and a flash of eyes appeared. It seemed that a prison of iron fences appeared on the map, and he thought to himself: "Jibei Hou is locked."

"The situation of trapping the tiger has been achieved, and it is possible to fight." Pei Ziyun said slowly: "The rebellion of Jibei Hou was originally a mantis chariot, but Ping Yuanbo was defeated, which deteriorated a little."

"The emperor is in the ninth level, and the prince is always paying attention. In addition, we can't fight for a long time when we mobilize the three states to work hard to get paid. Now we have formed a siege and we can move forward to the next step."

Bo Zhongqin was stunned, thought for a moment, and thought to himself: "Although the land is surrounded, there is still Yingzhou naval commander in the waters. If he attacks for a strong attack, he may fail."

He stood up and said, "Zhenren Pei, the Marquis of Jibei has become a trapped beast, and the Yingzhou navy is still wandering. Now he is attacking in a general manner, and he is afraid of hidden dangers."

When Bo Zhongqin said this, he paused: "Real person, it's not the time for a decisive battle now? If you want to fight, you have to deal with the Yingzhou Navy first."

Pei Ziyun looked at Zhongqin Bo and said coldly: "Of course it's not a decisive battle. There is no reason to become a fat man in one bite. That will only choke to death."

Pei Ziyun swept over everyone, looked at the generals with doubts, stood up and stood in front of the map, took the baton from the captain, and put the counties around Yingzhou on the map: "The defense of each county and county has been completed."

As he said that, he drew a circle on the map and circled the area in front of him: "This is the encirclement of our court, which I call the Iron Curtain, but our army has arrived, and the counties and counties cannot simply defend."

Prince Cheng followed Pei Ziyun's words and looked at the map. Pei Ziyun said: "The original intention was to form an iron curtain, and the second was to give the prefects of each county, and even the county magistrates to truly recognize the gap in the strength of the enemy and us, as well as the value and benefits of defense. I believe that after this battle, they all realized it."

"Only by this understanding can we allow attacks. The generals of counties and counties can lead elite troops to attack the thief area, and soldiers take turns to fight and exercise. However, the rule is that no matter which part of the battle, civil servants will lead 60 to 70% to defend the city, and military generals will lead 30 to 40% to attack. We must not put the cart before the horse."

The baton circled the place on the map, one circle smaller than the other. Pei Ziyun was cold: "This battle is not about blooming on all sides, but about relying on the city and village to eat on all sides. It is necessary to put the enemy thieves under heavy pressure and cannot draw out any mobile forces."

"We have counties and counties defending each other, like a thorn in the throat, and the enemy defends, and there are also counties taking the opportunity to attack. This is what is called the enemy on all sides, cutting flesh and bleeding with a small knife, which makes the enemy exhausted and unable to repair and produce free time."

Pei Ziyun said, the conference room was silent, everyone was surprised, and Prince Cheng was even more thinking.

"The food has to be eaten at once, and the war has to be done step by step. As for the main force of our army, the first battle is not the bandit navy, but Liujin Island!"

Pei Ziyun used his baton to draw a circle in a region of Shanghai area: "Our army has been going down the road for a month, and they are very tired and must be repaired. Before repairing, our army needs a battle to win to improve morale, just warm up!"

As soon as this was said, everyone nodded. The most taboo thing about the actual marching is "stagnant water". Victory in a small battle seems nothing, but in fact it has a great effect on the overall spirit.

Pei Ziyun saw it and said, "All the generals can prepare. There are only a few hundred people in Liujin Island, but they can be taken down in one fell swoop. As for other tactics, we will discuss it again after repairing them."

"Yes!" Heavy rain poured down, hitting the sea water, splashing water, and disappeared with the waves.

Liujin Island

Several people on the island were looking into the distance on the observation deck, and suddenly saw a black dot on the sea in the distance. The man was stunned: "Did he send a ship?"

The number of black dots in the distance continued to increase, gradually becoming clearer, turning into hundreds of large ships coming towards Liujin Island. These large ships were all large in scale, and they were like flag towers when they drove over.

Looking at the face-to-face transmission team, the soldiers who were venting the air on the platform looked frightened. Cold sweat fell on their foreheads, but they couldn't make any sounds. After a long time of panic, they shouted in panic: "No, run away quickly, the imperial army is here, run away quickly."

"What? The imperial army?" In the military camp, the soldiers garrisoned were originally lazy and were all stunned. At this time, they all came out and saw that the fleet was approaching. The soldiers on the ship had already seen the flags and armor on the ship. At first glance, they looked at the thousands, and the legs of these soldiers were immediately weak.

"Drop the ship and arrange the array!"

Pei Ziyun stood on the platform and looked from a distance. He saw that the ship had dropped the anchor in a moment. The bridge board fell down, and it was three people wide. With an order, the initial disembarkation was divided into a formation, with a strict army, and the initial estimate was 1,500.

Horses were even pulled out on the deck, and in front of the army were cavalry whistling, and Liujin Island was less than 200 square kilometers. After exploring for a while, the sentry stunts saw the situation clearly and ran back to the report. In a blink of an eye, most of them rolled away, with flags gathered in the military camp.

The enemy's military camp was firmly established, but he was still panicked when he saw thousands of five hundred people in the court.

"Kill, kill, kill!" These people shouted loudly, resounding throughout the sky.

There were several old subordinates of Jibei Hou in the camp, looking at the attacking army and shouting: "Kill, kill the thief, kill the thief quickly."

But as soon as the battle broke out, the camp was broken with a "boom". This was because many people saw that the imperial army was powerful and did not dare to resist at all.

"Don't kill those who surrender!" When the slogan was shouting, more people surrendered, and only a small group of people loyal to Jibei Hou were resisting and were killed in a blink of an eye.

"Tie all these people, cut down trees and prepare to camp." One of the two men went down the boat and ordered loudly.

The crowds of people were captured by these people.

At this time, a Taoist evaded into the forest, trembled his hands and took the talisman and opened it.

Yingzhou Water Division

The ship was parked on the coast, and heavy rain fell in the sky and hit the deck.

Chen Ping stood in a straw raincoat, looking into the distance with a blue face. The sea water in his eyes kept churning, and the warships were on guard. Relying on Yingzhou, he was ready to go to war at any time.

"General." A team was wearing a straw raincoat and swaying quickly, but they were a little unsteady when they were swaying with the ship.

Chen Ping turned around, looked at the person in front of him, and said coldly: "Why are you panic?"

The man ran to the front: "General, the imperial army raided Liujin Island!"

"What?" Chen Ping was shocked and relieved his heart again. He followed the Marquis of Jibei. Oh no, now he is Duke Jiguo, and Duke Jiguo generously allowed him to expand his army.

There were originally 6,000 soldiers, but now it has expanded to 10,000. The navy and the army are different. They must have ships, and it takes one or two years to start the water production of warships, so expanding 10,000 troops is almost the limit.

But the newly added four thousand new recruits were not as good as the veterans before, so they had to know that the court also had 10,000 naval troops, and they couldn't help but feel relieved when they heard that the court's naval troops were not coming.

"But the imperial army will be exhausted for a month. If I fight with me, I might be able to seize the opportunity to win. Now that I have gone to Liujin Island, I will never think so."
