In fact, not only Jin Feng understands conspiracy, but Li Lingrui also understands it.
It's just that Jin Feng relies on the advantage of weapons, while Li Lingrui relies on the advantage of numbers.
Now that Jin Feng's weapon advantage is gone, Li Lingrui's numerical advantage is still there.
When he discovered that the Shu army was retreating south, Li Lingrui did not pursue it, not only because he was worried about being ambushed, but also because he felt that he had a sure chance of victory and there was no need to take risks.
It was not until the scouts had explored the road that Li Lingrui ordered the army to set off and advance south.
Moreover, the Southern Expeditionary Army advanced very slowly. It only took the Shu army one night to reach Brass Valley, but it took Li Lingrui three full days to reach the north of Brass Valley.
This time, Li Lingrui did not push the camp directly in front of the Shu army camp like before. Instead, he stopped a dozen miles away from Brass Valley and found a piece of terrain that was equally easy to defend and difficult to attack to set up camp.
"Does Li Lingrui want to fight a protracted war with us?"
Zhang Liang got the news and was confused: "Shouldn't he be more anxious than us?"
During Dangxiang's southern expeditions over the years, he usually entered Dakang from Qingshui Valley, rarely from Xizhou, because the north of Xizhou was also deserted, and Dangxiang's people had to cross the vast desert to go from Xizhou.
At this time, transportation was backward, and food and fodder for the army was a very big problem.
Jin Feng once heard from Princess Ninth that Dangxiang launched a southern expedition from Xizhou and transported grain and grass from the hinterland to the frontier, which would consume 35% to 40% on the way.
In other words, if one hundred kilograms of grain is sent from the hinterland to the front line, the soldiers transporting the grain and grass on the way will eat thirty or forty kilograms, and only about sixty kilograms will be left when it is delivered to the place.
In the same way, the party members plundered food from the Central Plains and consumed 30 to 40% of it on the way back from Xizhou.
This loss rate is too high, so Party members usually choose Qingshui Valley during their southern expedition.
Now that Qingshui Valley is tightly guarded by Tieniu, Dangxiang has no choice but to choose Xizhou.
This Dangxiang's southern expedition was the largest in history. The total number of fighting soldiers and various support personnel exceeded 400,000.
A team of 400,000 people eat horse chews, and the amount of food and grass they need to consume every day is an amount that ordinary people cannot imagine.
That's why Zhang Liang felt that Li Lingrui was too calm.
After being reminded by Zhang Liang, Jin Feng finally realized that something was indeed wrong.
"Yes, why isn't Li Lingrui anxious?" Jin Feng thought to himself.
But he was not a professional officer in his previous life. In his previous battles, he basically relied on advanced tactics and advanced weapons to take the initiative to attack and kill the enemy in one go.
This is the first time Jin Feng has faced this kind of protracted battle, and he cannot cover everything.
This is the difference between wild soldiers and regular troops.
Li Lingrui started serving as a soldier when he was a teenager. Although it was just for training, he stayed in the army for more than ten years, step by step from a low-level soldier to the present.
Coupled with the royal teachings, Li Lingrui can be regarded as a qualified commander.
The reason why he suffered successive losses under Jin Feng before was just because it was the first time he encountered an opponent like Jin Feng who didn't play by common sense.
On the Jin Feng side, although there are many veterans among the bodyguards, most of them were ordinary soldiers when they were soldiers, and centurions are very rare.
Except for Chen Fengzhi, almost all of the generals were wild men who had become monks. It was no problem for them to lead the troops into battle, but they lacked the talents to see the problem from the perspective of the entire battlefield and have a big-picture perspective.
Chen Fengzhi is a veteran, but he is also a loyal warrior who obeys orders.
Qing Mulan had read a lot of military books, but before she met Jin Feng, she could only lead a group of maids to play house in the boudoir compound. In her first actual battle against bandits, she was surrounded by bandits on Wulang Mountain and almost surrounded her.
died.
Jin Feng does have an overall view, but his vision is too high.
He has studied history, knows how to mobilize the people, and knows how to establish a more complete governance system, but he does not know how to deal with a protracted war.
Fortunately, during the two years since he came to Dakang, Jin Feng has been fighting almost all the time and accumulated a lot of experience.
Now that he can't count on others, Jin Feng can only rely on himself.
He put himself in Li Lingrui's position to analyze what he should do if he were Li Lingrui.
Thinking of this, Jin Feng suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at Zhang Liang: "What has Chen Liangfeng been doing recently?"
Enemies of enemies are not necessarily friends, but they can definitely work together to deal with a common enemy.
If Jin Feng were Li Lingxuan, he would definitely find a way to unite with Qin King Chen Liangfeng if he encountered the current situation.
"Chen Liangfeng?"
Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Jin Feng was talking about King Qin. He shook his head and replied: "I don't know, I haven't paid attention to him recently."
Then Jin Feng looked at the monkey.
The monkey also shook his head: "When I came back from Weizhou, I was arranged by Brother Liang to scout the Southern Expeditionary Army camp. Where can I find the time to take care of the King of Qin?"
"Where are the people from Zhong Ming's team?" Jin Feng frowned and asked, "Didn't someone arrange to keep an eye on Chen Liangfeng?"
Hearing Jin Feng ask this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but blush.
The monkeys led scouts, not spies. Their main task was to monitor the battlefield. It was understandable that they did not pay attention to King Qin.
But the Zhongming Group is an intelligence agency under Jin Feng, especially the external Zhongming Group. It would be remiss not to pay attention to King Qin.
The nominal person in charge of Zhong Ming's group is Zhang Liang.
Although Zhang Liang rarely asked about the affairs of Zhong Ming's group, Zhong Ming's group had made mistakes and should be investigated seriously, and Zhang Liang also had an unshirkable responsibility.
Fortunately, Zhang Liang did not shirk responsibility, but took the initiative to admit his mistake: "Sir, Han Feng arranged a team leader for me. I was negligent in my duty. I haven't paid attention to Zhong Ming's team recently."
Jin Feng also knew the situation of Zhang Liang and Zhong Ming's team, so he didn't say anything more. He waved his hand and said: "Go and call the team leader over. I have something to ask him!"
"Yes!" Zhang Liang quickly walked out of the stone house and arranged for his guards to call someone.www.八一zw.????m
Jin Feng looked at Zhang Liang's back and decided to remove Zhang Liang's title of leader of Zhongming's group after this battle.
The reason why Zhong Ming's group was handed over to Zhang Liang was because when Zhong Ming's group was established, Han Feng had just joined the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau and Jin Feng could not fully trust him, so he made Zhang Liang the group leader.
In fact, after the formation of Zhong Ming's group, Han Feng has always been in charge, and Zhang Liang almost never asked.
Now that Han Feng's loyalty is beyond doubt, it's time to hand over Zhong Ming's group to him.
This is recognition of Han Feng and responsibility to Zhang Liang.
The team leader arranged by Han Feng quickly followed Zhang Liang's personal guards into the stone house.
First, he looked around at the people in the room, and then he raised his hands to Jin Feng and asked: "Guo Qi, the leader of the seventh group of Zhongming Group, reports to sir! Sir, please give me instructions!"
"Let me ask you, has Qin King Chen Liangfeng been unusual lately?" Jin Feng asked, staring at the team leader.
