After a pause, Mao Wenlong continued: "If the imperial court gets the news, it will definitely order our army to attack to aid the DPRK. However, our army's strength is limited, so we still need to carefully consider how to fight against the Jianlu."
After finishing speaking, Mao Wenlong glanced at the generals and said, "If you have any suggestions, please feel free to speak out."
"Our Dongjiang Army has always used evading the real and attacking the weak, and harassing and containing as its main means. Now there is no need to exploit our shortcomings and avoid our strengths." Chen sometimes said: "The general will feel it is inappropriate to consume too much of our military's strength to aid North Korea."
Su Yougong nodded in agreement and said: "Our army alone can only be harassed and restrained. It is the best policy to inform Guan Ning and report to the court, asking them to send more reinforcements and then fight against Jianlu."
Zhang Pan frowned slightly and said slowly: "The general believes that regardless of whether the imperial court and Guan Ning have reinforcements or not, our army will fully support the DPRK."
Realizing that several eyes were on him, Zhang Pan swallowed and continued: "North Korea has a navy. If it is completely conquered by the Jianqi and becomes an enemy of our Dongjiang Army, it will be a great threat."
The room became quiet, and the generals were thoughtful. Mao Wenlong stroked his beard and squinted his eyes, also lost in thought.
Compared with Jianlu, who had the navy to help them, they plundered food and supplies in North Korea and forced North Korea to open markets for trading. Even North Korea, under pressure, stopped supplying food and grass supplies to the Dongjiang Army. This was not a very serious and dangerous matter.
The Dongjiang Army was located on a remote island and could deal with the Jianlu, but they bullied the Jianlu and had no navy.
This is especially true for Phi Island and Yuncong Island. The distance from the land is very short, and sometimes it is possible to cross the ice when it freezes in winter. If the Jianlu had a navy, these two islands would be the first to bear the brunt, which was very dangerous.
Of course, based on the overall strength of the navy, the Dongjiang Army is stronger than North Korea, but there may not necessarily be a large-scale naval battle to determine the outcome.
Jianlu can completely launch attacks on various islands. There is no principle of guarding against thieves for a thousand days. Jianlu is far away from the coast. Isn't it difficult to prevent the Dongjiang Army from attacking on the vast coastline?
By that time, the various departments of the Dongjiang Army living on the island will probably be tired of surveillance and defense, and it will be difficult for them to take the initiative to land surprise attacks as they please.
"Zhang Pan——" Mao Wenlong finally spoke and said in a deep voice: "You think long-term and hit the mark. If North Korea completely surrenders to Jianlu, our Dongjiang Army will be in danger!"
Zhang Pan opened his mouth, but still did not confess that this was what someone else said. It was not that he wanted to take credit from Guo Dajing, but that he felt it was inappropriate to say it.
Regarding his current status, he said that the weight of it was of course different from that of Guo Dajing. Since Mao Shuai had already made a positive evaluation, he did not need to branch out.
Let's finish this battle first, then promote Guo Dajing, or recommend him to Marshal Mao to give him a better future. Thinking this, Zhang Pan calmed down and waited for Marshal Mao to make arrangements.
"I have ordered all the troops to come to Pidao and Yuncong for reinforcements." Mao Wenlong's voice became louder, indicating that he had made a new decision, "Now, our army will do its best to resist Jianlu's attack, and we will conduct detailed reconnaissance.
After seeing the enemy's weakness and strength, we can then attack with force..."
Before he finished speaking, soldiers came in to report, and sent out sentries with urgent military information about Jianlu crossing the river to attack Tieshan.
"Call them over quickly." Mao Wenlong became energetic and ordered hurriedly.
The most important thing now is information so that the Dongjiang Army can make corresponding arrangements and deal a heavy blow to Jianlu.
After a while, Li Haidong walked over with his head covered with frost and ice. It was obvious from a glance that he was driving in a hurry without stopping.
"Pour him a bowl of hot water first." Mao Wenlong showed admiration on his face, waved his hand to order the soldiers, and said to Li Haidong: "Good man, warm yourself up before telling me the information."
Li Haidong took the hot water and drank it without caring about burning his mouth. After his body warmed up a little, he saluted Mao Wenlong and said: "Commander, please tell me the urgent military situation first..."
To attack North Korea and attack the Dongjiang Army, the Jianlu troops were divided into two groups. One group was led by Amin, with more than 20,000 people, and attacked Yiju first; the other group, led by Jierhalang, with 15,000 people, crossed the river near Longchuan.
, the time is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.
Mao Wenlong's eyes gleamed as he listened to the information. This was a timely help. This could change the situation of the war. It was so important and timely.
After Li Haidong finished reporting, he opened the bag wrapped around his waist, and three human skulls rolled onto the table.
"This is the prisoner we killed to prove that the information is correct." Li Haidong raised his sleeves and wiped the snow water on his face, "There are two more prisoners, escorted by a younger companion.
We can arrive in the evening."
Mao Wenlong slammed the table hard and praised loudly: "Okay, this is me, the Dongjiang athlete, who kills powerful enemies and is brave and courageous. Come and reward me with silver."
Li Haidong grinned and said: "Dare you let the commander know that the person who killed Jianlu and captured the prisoners alive was not Xiao Xiao and others, but Guo Dajing, the flag officer of Ludao Ye Buhui. He...
…”
Huh?! Among the generals present, Liu Xingzuo, who had been keeping a poker face and said nothing, as if he didn't exist, suddenly stood up and looked carefully at the head on the table.
After Liu Xingzuo rebelled against Jin and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Keli placed him in Dongjiang to share power with Mao Wenlong, which aroused Mao Wenlong's dissatisfaction. When Yuan Keli was impeached and resigned, Mao Wenlong suppressed Liu Xingzuo.
Because he was unsatisfied in the Dongjiang Army, Liu Xingzuo simply became a transparent person. He participated and never spoke much. He also did the work and did whatever you asked me to do.
Mao Wenlong and the generals didn't know why, so they turned their attention to Liu Xingzuo, who was surprised and shocked.
"Tulushi, yes, it's Tulushi." Liu Xingzuo finally recognized the dead head, looked at Li Haidong in disbelief, and said, "It's amazing, it's really amazing, he actually killed Tulushi."
As soon as Turushi's name was spoken, it immediately caused a commotion among the generals.
This reconnaissance model of Jianlu was really famous for his ace in catching lives. Almost all the sentinels of the Dongjiang Army were killed or injured at his hands.
Oh, Mao Wenlong raised his eyebrows, looked at the dead head carefully, and sneered: "It turns out to be this Jianlu, whose hands are stained with the blood of Dongjiang Army soldiers. Now evil is rewarded, and blood debts are paid for with blood."
After finishing speaking, Mao Wenlong looked at Zhang Pan, nodded and said: "You have such a fierce man under your command, but he hides it so deeply!"
Zhang Pan hurriedly raised his hands and said with a smile: "It's not that the general is hiding, but it's because the flag officer Guo Dajing has just been under his command. Counting it, it has not been ten days."
After a pause, he added: "The information about Jianlu Chuba's campaign was also discovered by him and the sentinel flag officer Zhou Qing."
"Killing three and capturing two, even Tulushi died in his hands, which shows that he was very skilled and brave." Liu Xingzuo praised, sat down, and remembered the name Guo Dajing firmly.
Although Mao Wenlong looked down on Liu Xingzuo, he admired Guo Dajing very much. The emergence of such a powerful figure in the Dongjiang Army was just to make him look good.
