In the original territory of the Yan army, they first issued a basic farming policy and then recruited 30,000 new soldiers.
After Heng Shan County and the other counties settled down, the Zhou army began to operate as usual.
Currently, in the entire Jizhou, only the Sui Army remained.
At this moment, in Marquis Zhou's residence.
"Ta Ta…"
The sound of footsteps could be heard as many civil and military officials walked towards the main hall of Marquis Zhou's manor under the summons of Marquis Zhou.
The civil and military officials that came included Dou Jiande, Dou Xianniang, and Ling Jing who had surrendered with Dou Jiande.
Su Dingfang, Yuchi Gong, and the others were naturally unable to come to the Zhou Manor to discuss because of their low positions.
Among them, Zhangsun Wugou did not participate.
Everyone arrived one after another and stood according to the civil and military ranks, waiting for Zhou Hou's arrival.
"Everyone is here."
A voice rang out as Lin Changye walked out from the passage behind him.
"Greetings, Zhou Hou."
All the civil and military officials bowed slightly.
"I have gathered all of you here today to discuss how to deal with the Sui army in Jizhou and take down the entire Jizhou in one fell swoop.”
Lin Changye waved his hand and walked straight to the main seat to sit down.
"Zhou Hou, I suggest that we use the strategy of eliminating the cavalry in Xindu Prefecture. The Sui army has 80,000 troops, of which there are about 20,000 cavalry, and all of them are elites.”
Li Cunxiao was the first to step forward and say.
"Zhou Hou, this subordinate agrees."
Hearing this, Dou Xianniang said with deep agreement.
She understood the terror of the cavalry, and at the same time, she had a deep impression of the battle in Xindu Prefecture, so she knew how powerful this plan was.
“………”
Lin Changye didn't say anything and looked at the others.
"This subordinate believes that Xue Shixiong is quite resourceful. He will definitely pay attention to the advantage of the cavalry. He would even rather the infantry suffer heavy losses than the cavalry."
"Therefore, it will be difficult to eliminate their cavalry.”
After a moment of silence, Fang Xuanling frowned and walked out from the ranks of civil and military officials.
"Yes, Advisor Jun is right."
"The best way is to gather the Sui army and wipe them out. Only then can we wipe out their elites in one fell swoop. Otherwise, it will be very disadvantageous for our army if we enter a long battle.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jing stepped forward and said.
"We think alike."
Fang Xuanling wasn't surprised by this. When they attacked the Yan army, the other party had already shown enough talent.
"What do you mean by gathering and annihilating?"
Lin Changye raised his eyebrows and asked.
He wanted to end the battle quickly so that he could quickly consolidate his strength and activate the next system lottery.
"Surround the area and attack the reinforcements."
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and smiled.
"Surround the area and attack the reinforcements?"
The rest of the people were stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked.
“………”
Lin Changye didn't say anything. He signaled Fang Xuanling to continue with his eyes.
"Handan City is under the jurisdiction of the Sui army. It is a place where military rations and weapons are stored. If our army attacks this place on a large scale, even if there is something fishy going on, Xue Shixiong will have no choice but to come and support us.”
Fang Xuanling said slowly.
"Yes, Handan City!"
When Dou Xianniang and the others heard this, their eyes lit up.
The Sui army occupied five counties, and the operation of such a large army depended heavily on the military rations stored in Handan County.
If something happened to the rations, Xue Shixiong would naturally have to lead his troops here.
Because once there was a problem with the military rations, the Sui army would definitely be in chaos within ten days to half a month.
At that time, they would be able to surround Handan County and slowly destroy the Sui army.
"This subordinate believes that the first step is to eliminate most of Handan City's forces to avoid a pincer attack.”
"After that, we set up an ambush in Handan and swallowed all the Sui troops that came before finally taking down Handan City.”
Li Jing and Fang Xuanling looked at each other and shared their opinions and understandings.
"That's right. Does anyone have any objections?"
Lin Changye nodded and praised, then turned to look at the rest of the civil and military officials.
"We have no objections."
Li Cunxiao and the rest shook their heads.
"Alright, then we'll adopt the strategy of the military counselor and General Li.”
As he spoke, Lin Changye stood up.
"Lady Xian, you return to Xindu Prefecture and continue to guard the area. Xuanling, you stay in Antler Pass and be responsible for stabilizing the rear.”
Immediately, Lin Changye began to arrange the basic matters for everyone.
"Hello, Zhou Hou."
Fang Xuanling and Dou Xianniang stepped forward.
"Cun Xiao will lead twelve thousand Flying Tiger Cavalry as the deputy general, Li Jing will take sixty thousand Flying Tiger Infantry as the general of the three armies, the seventy-two generals of Jiuli will follow, and Dou Jiande will be the vanguard general.”
Lin Changye continued to instruct.
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Li Jing and the others stepped forward to receive the order.
"What a pity."
Dou Xianniang was a little disappointed. She also wanted to follow them, but stabilizing the various regions was equally important.
"Everyone, go and mobilize your troops and prepare to set off.”
Lin Changye waved his long sleeves and said in a deep voice.
"Hello, Zhou Hou."
All the soldiers responded and left to make arrangements.
Lin Changye left the hall and went into the inner room.
"Brother Ye, don't be careful in this expedition. Don't charge to the front alone.”
Zhangsun Wugou, who was filled with worry, said softly.
Even though she knew that her Brother Ye's martial arts skills were unparalleled, she still couldn't help but worry.
"I understand, don't worry."
Lin Changye rubbed Zhangsun Wugou's head and said with a smile.
“......”
At the same time, the Sui army was stationed in the General's Mansion in the city.
"Father, the Zhou army is expanding rapidly and has annexed all the rebel forces nearby.”
"Even if we can't destroy it, we need to severely injure it. Otherwise, our army will be in a very passive position.”
Xue Shixiong's fourth son, Xue Wanche, said with a serious expression.
The rise of the Zhou army was truly unsettling.
"That's right. From the time the Zhou army raised its army until now, its strength has never stopped expanding. If we don't destroy and weaken it, it will become a huge threat.”
Xue Shixiong agreed with this point of view.
"Father, even so, our army and the Zhou army have their own advantages. If we fight, it will definitely be a long battle. How can we defeat them quickly?”
The third son, Xue Wanjun, frowned. He didn't know what method he had to defeat the enemy.
"There are many capable generals in the Zhou army, and none of them are mediocre. That Zhou Hou is even more unfathomable. We can gather and annihilate them, quickly depleting their strength.”
Xue Shixiong, who had already come up with a countermeasure, was not too worried.
“………”
Xue Shixiong's military knowledge was not bad. Otherwise, he would not have thought of the same strategy as the Zhou army.
It was a pity that he had met Fang Xuanling and Li Jing.
"Father's words are reasonable. The Zhou army definitely understands the situation of our army. Thus, Handan City, where our army stores grain, is a very good target to use!”
Xue Wanche's eyes lit up. After hearing his father's words, he quickly understood.
