In the side hall of the imperial court.
Xu Feng sat on the main seat with a solemn expression.
An emergency meeting was called.
Xu Feng passed the military report that Lin Xin had submitted to Yang Hong and the other two.
Minister of War Ye Jun also attended the meeting.
"What do you think?"
Xu Feng looked at Yang Hong and the other two and asked.
" Reporting to Lord Zhenbei," Yang Hong said slowly," Nanjin is coming at us menacingly. We must mobilize our troops to support the southwest border and increase the deployment of our troops!"”
"The Northwest King, Lin Zhenghai, is in charge of the nine northwestern counties. Although he has a lot of troops under him, he doesn't dare to mobilize them. Once the Northwest King's army was mobilized, the Dayuan Empire would take advantage of the situation and attack. At that time, the entire Great Tang would be attacked from both sides, and it would be difficult to deal with them.”
"The number of troops that the Imperial Court can mobilize right now is nothing more than two hundred thousand. However, they would need time to gather. In a short period of time, they could only mobilize 100,000 troops.”
Yang Hong's words caused even Xu Feng's expression to turn ugly.
Xu Feng had been guarding the Desolate North for ten years.
He knew very well that the military situation was urgent and was changing at all times.
Now that the Great Tang was unable to mobilize its army to reinforce Wangmo City, it would be very difficult.
"Lord Zhenbei, in the past ten years, the Great Tang's silver taels have all been used by His Majesty for cultivation, causing the Great Tang to be unable to replenish its military strength. In my opinion, there is no harm in organizing the people of the southwest to form a militia and participate in the defense of Wangmo City.”
Whether it was Yang Hong, Lin Yirong, or Zhao Zheng, they all expressed their views.
Their point of view was to passively defend the southwest border.
"General Ye, what do you think?"
Xu Feng asked Jun Ye.
"Northern Fortress Lord, I'm willing to gather a team and lead a cavalry to attack Nanjin's base camp from the southeast!”
Ye Jun was wearing armor, and his eyes were filled with light. The aura on his body was faint.
Xu Feng nodded his head. Jun Ye was able to become the Minister of War as a general. He was indeed capable.
He must have seen the geographical environment of Nanjin and the southwest of the Tang Empire.
"Yes!"
Xu Feng immediately took out a map from under the table not far away.
It was a map of the cities in the southwest of the Tang Empire and the neighboring areas of Nanjin.
Xu Feng took out the map with familiarity.
Yang Hong and the others were filled with admiration.
Ye Jun was also very emotional, thinking, It is the Great Tang's fortune to have Northern Lord, the blessing of the people!”
Xu Feng pointed at the location of Wangmo City on the map.
Judging from the map, Wangmo City must be the main target of Nanjin's army.
"General Ye said that it's a good idea to lead a cavalry and sneak attack the base camp of Nanjin with the speed of the cavalry.”
"But, General Ye, have you thought about it? We have a cavalry team, and the cavalry team of Nanjin is led by General Cheng Feiyu.”
"Once Cheng Feiyu returns with the surprise troops, the cavalry you lead will be in a dilemma. I'm afraid they will all be wiped out.”
Xu Feng immediately began to point at the terrain on the map, his eyes glowing with excitement.
He began to analyze the military situation of the entire southwest border.
Yang Hong and the others were shocked.
They finally understood.
How did Xu Feng manage to gather 400,000 soldiers from the Northern Battlefront Army in a remote place like the Northern Wasteland? How did he manage to kill the 36 tribes of the Barbarian Race and retreat to the depths of the Hanta Desert?
Xu Feng's control over the entire situation was truly too terrifying.
"As long as one team can sneak into the rear of Nanjin at the fastest speed, cut off the grain supply point of Nanjin and burn all the grain of nearly 600,000 troops of Nanjin. At that time, the army of Nanjin would have to end the battle quickly and attack Wangmo City with all their might.”
"Although Wangmo City's military strength is aging and its combat strength has decreased, it is still a small city. However, they had just received the 5,000 high-level repeating crossbows manufactured by the Ministry of Works. With the 20-meter-high city wall and the attack of the high-level repeating crossbows, it was almost impossible for the Nanjin army to take down Wangmo City.”
"However, the military rations have been burned. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Nanjin have no conditions to attack Wangmo City for a long time.”
"If I'm not wrong, the emperor of Nanjin will definitely think of a way to split up his forces and launch a surprise attack on Dongsha City, which is the closest city to Wangmo City.”
……
Xu Feng explained all the military arrangements clearly.
"Lord Zhenbei, according to your plan, the most important thing is to send a team to burn the grain of Nanjin!”
"The army of Nanjin must be very interested in the grain storage area. Who can break in and burn the grain?”
Jun Ye couldn't help but ask.
"This Lord!"
Xu Feng said confidently.
"Ah…"
Yang Hong, Lin Yirong, and the other two cabinet members exclaimed at the same time.
Then, they said at the same time,"Absolutely not!”
"We absolutely can't let Lord Zhenbei take on such a dangerous ambush mission! Northern Warden has the task of governing the country. He must not take the risk. I don't agree!”
"I don't agree either!"
Xu Feng smiled faintly." I don't need your approval. The three of you only need to control the royal court. We will not show mercy when we kill the enemies on the front lines.”
"This…"
? Yang Hong and Lin Yirong looked at Zhao Zheng. They hoped that Zhao Zheng would advise Xu Feng. After all, Zhao Zheng had chosen to follow Xu Feng from the start.
However, Zhao Zheng knew Xu Feng's temper. Presumably, Xu Feng didn't like to stay in the royal court and had long wanted to gallop on the battlefield and kill his enemies.
