Sichuan and Shu are mountainous and not suitable for cavalry operations, so the Shu army is still dominated by infantry, with only a quarter of the cavalry.
Among them, the 6th, 7th and 8th Divisions are all cavalry-based.
When the Sixth Division and Eighth Division received the order, the soldiers immediately went to the stables to get their horses.
It was quiet at night, with thousands of war horses moving at the same time. Soon the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the entire Brass Valley. The soldiers who were not on duty came out of the mine one after another and looked towards the bottom of the valley.
Although the ordinary soldiers did not know the news about King Qin's army, they discovered that the Sixth Division and the Eighth Division were heading towards the south end of the valley, and they all guessed that something happened at the south end.
Facing hundreds of thousands of Dangxiang's troops marching south, the internal pressure on the Shu army was already very high. If the news about King Qin's army was made public again, it would be troublesome if it caused panic.
But if nothing is said, the soldiers' concerns will not disappear and will only be discussed secretly.
Many times, guessing makes the situation worse.
Should we disclose the information about King Qin’s army?
Jin Feng was also in trouble for a while.
After thinking again and again, Jin Feng asked someone to find Li Didi.
Because of Li Didi's experience as a slave in Dangxiang, his previous status in the camp was not very high. Sometimes when he interviewed some veterans, the veterans were not very cooperative.
But since he went to the Southern Expedition alone to negotiate and came back, he became famous and gained the respect of everyone.
Now Shu soldiers are proud to receive interviews from Li Didi.
Li Didi was actually woken up by the sound of horse hoofbeats. He originally planned to ask what was going on, but after being notified by Jin Feng, he hurried over.
When he saw Jin Feng, he first bowed and then went straight to the point and asked, "Sir, do you have anything to do with me?"
"It's something," Jin Feng didn't hide anything. He quickly told Li Didi the current situation, and then asked: "Didi, do you think it's better for me to disclose it or not?"

Because as their status increases, regardless of whether Jin Feng and Zhang Liang want to, they can no longer mingle with the soldiers and must maintain a certain degree of dignity. Otherwise, over time, some soldiers will become neither big nor small, making it difficult to fight.
command.
Li Didi's identity is a war reporter and he has no affiliation with the soldiers. Moreover, he hangs out with the soldiers every day. He is very familiar with everyone from ordinary soldiers to high-level generals. There will be in-depth exchanges during the interviews, so Li Didi knows the Shu army best.
people.
Jin Feng came to him just to ask for his opinion.
"Sir, you once said that it is better to defend the people than to defend the river. Isn't it also to establish a newspaper and train reporters to let the people know what is happening in Jinchuan every day?"
Li Didi said: "So I think I should tell everyone!"
At this point, Li Didi suddenly changed the topic: "Of course, if the news about King Qin's army is made public and causes panic, it may lead to low morale."
"I'm worried about this problem, so I came to discuss it with you." Jin Feng said, "Do you have any ideas?"
Li Didi did not answer this time, but lowered his head to think for a moment and said, "Sir, why don't you let me go back and think about it, and come back to give you an answer tomorrow morning?"
"Okay!" Jin Feng nodded.
Although the situation is critical, King Qin's army is still on Wutou Mountain, and the monkey may not be able to come back for a while, so he still has one night.
That night, Jin Feng did not go back to sleep. He sat on a stool in the command room, staring at the map and thinking about various possible scenarios.
He just sat in front of the map until dawn, and it wasn't until Zuo Feifei came to deliver the meal that Jin Feng stood up.
Before, Zhang Liang was the one who ate with a large group of people, but now Zuo Feifei's tray only had enough food for two people.
Jin Feng knew that Zhang Liang and the others must be busy, so he didn't ask.
Before breakfast was finished, Li Didi came over.
It's just that we didn't see him in the middle of the night. Li Didi looked even more haggard than Jin Feng, as if he had aged several years all of a sudden.
Li Didi first said hello to Zuo Feifei, then took out a piece of manuscript paper from his pocket and handed it to Jin Feng: "Sir, I wrote an interview manuscript, can you take a look at it?"
"Interview manuscript?" Jin Feng put down his chopsticks, took the manuscript paper, and looked at it curiously.
After a moment, Jin Feng's eyes lit up, he stood up and patted Li Didi on the shoulder, smiling and praising: "Didi, you wrote well!"
It must be said that Li Didi has learned the true biography of Chen Wenyuan and knows how to mobilize people's hearts.
The beginning of the interview did not directly contain news about King Qin's army, but told the story from the perspective of an ordinary bodyguard, from an ordinary citizen oppressed by landlords and bandits to his changes after joining the Zhenyuan Bodyguard Bureau.
Ninety-nine percent of Shu soldiers are from ordinary people, and Li Didi's interview can easily resonate with them.
Then Li Didi still did not write about the King of Qin's army, but firmly condemned Dang Xiang's invasion of Nanzheng, emphasizing the justice of his own resistance and the consequences of not resisting!
The Dangxiang people made it clear that they came for Shu, and this was easily recognized by the Shu soldiers.
It was not until the end that Li Didi explained the situation in the western counties of Qin, and then disclosed the news of the Qin King's army, calling on the Shu soldiers to resist tenaciously and guard the fruits of Shu's victory.
The entire interview was written with great emotion. Even Jin Feng's emotions were aroused by Li Didi, let alone the ordinary soldiers?
So Jin Feng didn't even eat, and asked Zhang Liang to summon all the clerks and hold an impromptu meeting.
The clerkship is a position created by Jin Feng to imitate the political commissar in his previous life. His main responsibility is to carry out ideological education and ensure the loyalty of the team.
During the war, the clerical officer also assumed the responsibility of supervising the army. If deserters or traitors were found on the battlefield, the military supervisory team led by the clerical officer had the right to execute them on the spot.
Clerical officers are cadres above the regiment level, who also directly oversee the company instructors within the regiment.
Theoretically, the clerical officer and the regiment leader have the same level. They are both civil and military, and jointly manage the team.
But in fact, the clerical officer has greater rights than the group leader. When encountering key issues and the clerical officer and the group leader have different opinions, the clerical officer's decision must prevail.
At the temporary meeting, Jin Feng described the current situation and then read Li Didi's interview transcript.
Then the clerks put forward some additional comments and made some fine adjustments to the interview script.
However, after the meeting, Jin Feng still did not disclose the news immediately, but continued to wait for news from Monkey.
For people like monkeys, a distance of dozens of miles is not very far. If it were normal times, the monkeys would have been back long ago.
But maybe because he couldn't take the official road, or maybe the enemy's defense was tight and it was difficult for the monkey to penetrate, Jin Feng waited until the afternoon of the next day, but didn't wait for the monkey to come back.
