The news of the Li family's bounty on Lin Changye had been intentionally spread to Bohai City in Bohai County, Jizhou. That was one of them.
There was a Revolutionary Army here that had completely occupied Bohai County. Their strength was above Hao Xiaode's, and the person leading them was Meng Hai Gong.
Meng Hai Gong had 40,000 soldiers and 5,000 cavalrymen. This was already considered quite a decent force in the Revolutionary Army.
"The Li family actually promised such a huge profit just to reward an unknown person?”
In County Governor Manor, Meng Hai Gong asked in surprise.
"This is an opportunity."
A dark-skinned man said in a rough voice.
This person was Meng Hai Gong's younger brother, Meng Dan Gui, one of his subordinates.
" That's right, father. The Li family is one of the five surnames and seven surnames in the world…"
"If we help them deal with Lin Changye, not only will we get a huge sum of money, but the Li family will also owe us a favor.”
Meng Hai Gong's son Meng Yi said.
This favor could be exchanged for many things in the future, and it would bring unexpected benefits to their development.
Moreover, there was still a considerable sum of money that could increase their military supplies.
"Elder brother, Lin Changye is an unknown person. He has only occupied Pingyuan County not long ago and is unstable. This is the best time to attack him.”
The corner of Meng Dan Gui's mouth curled up, revealing a sinister smile.
With their current strength, it would be a piece of cake for them to take down the unstable Lin Changye.
They could even spare Lin Changye's life and double the Li family's reward. No matter how they thought about it, it was a profitable deal.
"Indeed."
Greed suddenly flashed in Meng Hai Gong's eyes. He was indeed tempted. After what his brother and eldest son had said, attacking Pingyuan County would only bring him benefits.
How could he not be tempted to exchange a small price for the Li family's reward and favor?
"Pingyuan County only has one dangerous pass, Antler Pass. Once we break through this pass, our army will be able to march straight in. Once we occupy Pingyuan County, our forces can still expand.”
Meng Hai Gong was still hesitating, but after hearing what he said, he was completely determined.
"If that's the case, what reason do you have to not attack Pingyuan County and help the Li family take down Lin Changye?”
Meng Hai Gong's eyes narrowed into a line as he kept twirling his mustache.
"Send out our troops immediately, the faster the better. We'll catch them off guard.”
Greed kept rising in his heart, urging Meng Hai Gong to give the order.
"Yes."
Meng Dan Gui and Meng Yi were overjoyed and quickly cupped their hands in response. It was as if they knew that they would win without a doubt even before they set off!
“......”
"Rumble…"
Outside the border of Pingyuan County, the sound of horse hooves could be heard, sweeping up a cloud of dust. It was the Flying Tiger Cavalry patrolling.
At present, there was only one place in Pingyuan County that was the most dangerous. Therefore, Lin Changye had 4,000 Flying Tiger Cavalry soldiers act as scouts and use their mobility to scout the surroundings.
"There's an enemy!"
A group of Flying Tiger Cavalrymen who were patrolling suddenly realized that the dust in front of them had covered the sky and the sun. The sound of hooves and military boots could be heard continuously.
The Flying Tiger Cavalry's expression changed when they discovered the enemy's presence. They immediately relayed the news.
The news was quickly transmitted to the Pingyuan Prefecture through the human-to-human transmission. This was already the fastest way to transmit the news.
"Zhou Hou, we have discovered an unknown army heading towards Pingyuan County.”
The last flying tiger cavalryman brought the news directly to Marquis Zhou's residence.
"I know, so I summoned the military counselor and the others.”
Lin Changye frowned and gave the order.
"Ta…Step..."
After a while, hurried footsteps sounded.
"Greetings, Zhou Hou."
Li Cunxiao and Fang Xuanling followed closely behind. Zhangsun Wugou also followed. However, she was mainly here to listen. If she had any other ideas, she could also bring them up.
"Everyone, there are enemies coming from Bohai Prefecture, and there are quite a number of them.”
Lin Changye glanced at Fang Xuanling and Li Cunxiao and deliberately dragged out his tone.
"Good!"
Li Cunxiao and Fang Xuanling looked at each other, their eyes gleaming with sharpness.
This would be their first battle to take down Pingyuan County, and it just so happened that their strategy was to target Bohai County. They did not expect the other party to have such intentions.
"Zhou Hou, from what I can see, Pingyuan County has only been taken down not too long ago. The people's hearts have yet to be completely stabilized, and the newly recruited soldiers are not confident enough.”
Fang Xuanling stroked his goatee.
"If we can win, we can stabilize the hearts of the people and make the newly recruited soldiers more aggressive and belligerent. We can also further deplete the power of Bohai Prefecture.”
he continued.
"Zhou Hou, Military Advisor Fang is right. We don't just have to win this battle, we have to win it beautifully.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Cunxiao continued.
Only in this way could they stabilize the hearts of the people to the greatest extent, giving the recruits fighting spirit and confidence, and laying the foundation for them to go to the battlefield in the future.
"Judging from the military situation, the people who came are Brother Meng Hai. He led five thousand cavalry and thirty thousand soldiers. Do you have any plans for victory?”
Lin Changye tapped his fingers on the table as he asked.
Even in such a situation, he still maintained his composure. The difference in military strength was far greater than that of Pingyuan County.
"As expected of Zhou Hou, you have such good willpower!"
Fang Xuanling sighed in his heart.
"Zhou Hou, Bohai Prefecture only has about 45,000 soldiers. 35,000 of them are eyeing us covetously, and they only have 10,000 left behind.”
Fang Xuanling analyzed the enemy's military deployment.
The 10,000 soldiers that were left to guard Bohai City were naturally guarded by Meng Yi.
"It seems like Advisor Jun has a plan?"
Lin Changye looked at Fang Xuanling meaningfully after hearing this.
"I still can't hide it from Zhou Hou."
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard as he smiled. He felt even more respect for Zhou Hou.
"The front troops are eyeing us covetously, and they have very few troops behind them. They probably think that our army will not attack.”
"Our army can send a special force to detour around the enemy's back, to directly cut off their retreat.”
Fang Xuanling suggested.
"If we launch a surprise attack, we can even take Bohai City.”
"If the raiders occupy it and laugh about Bohai City being attacked, Meng Hai Gong will definitely rush back anxiously.”
Li Cunxiao followed the train of thought and continued. His own military talent was not weak, so he added icing on the cake to the basic strategy.
"Our army pretended to retreat during the pursuit, letting them relax their vigilance and run back. In fact, they followed behind to wait for the world to change. At that time, we will pincer them from the front and back.”
"In that case, we will definitely defeat the main force of the Bohai Army in one fell swoop, and the following battles will be much easier.”
Pausing for a moment, Fang Xuanling used a decisive tone to display the strategy that a military counselor should have.
