Lin Long and Zhang Yao hurriedly met him and pulled him to the chair to sit down. Lin Long even blamed him: "What's wrong with you? You don't have a good rest. You'll come out after sleeping for a while. Don't you feel at ease with my sister Yao?"

Li Ming smiled and said, "Nothing is true, Long'er, don't talk nonsense. Actually, can I not be anxious about the current situation? But these two days are too critical. I don't want to give up this sudden inspiration, so I put it aside. Let's talk about the situation in the future. Now let's talk about the situation, brother, how is it under Linbin City?"

"I got a letter from Fei Ge a message an hour ago saying that they had repelled the opponent's first attack, but I heard that the troops suffered heavy casualties." Hearing Li Ming's question, the holy hand answered hurriedly.

Li Ming nodded slightly and said, "Those soldiers have never been to the battlefield, and heavy casualties are inevitable. Fortunately, they are not our people, so let them resist for a while. With their number and the strength of the city wall, it is not a problem to defend the 30,000 army. But have you discussed why Li Jiao sent so few troops to attack Linbin City? The success may be too small. With Li Jiao's shrewdness, why did he do this?"

Lin Lingfeng looked at Li Ming with praise and said with a smile: "It seems that we all have come to us together and are all surprised by Li Jiao's actions. Marin, tell Li Ming about the latest information, he didn't hear it just now."

Malin hurriedly told Li Ming the information he had obtained again. Li Ming remained silent for a long time after hearing it. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Malin and asked, "Malin, do we have an intelligence network on Fenshui Island? Is there any news from them?"

Malin shook his head and said, "There is an intelligence network, but the news cannot be transmitted at all. Li Jiao blocked the Fenshui Island like an iron barrel, and even the birds flying in the sky are not spared, so we cannot get the information inside, and we don't know the life or death of those intelligence personnel at present."

Li Ming thought about it for a moment, and then said to Lin Lingfeng: "Master has to go there for a trip. Only you can come and go freely in Fenshui Island. At present, I suspect that Li Jiao's action is related to his Fenshui Island action, but I can't explain clearly what the specific thing is. This is just a kind of intuition, so it is necessary to ask you to talk and hear it clearly. There is no way, so those who can do it will work harder."

The last sentence immediately made everyone amuse themselves. Unexpectedly, Lin Lingfeng, who has always been very serious, was also teased by his apprentice for a day. Suddenly, the tense atmosphere in the room eased a lot. Lin Lingfeng smiled mockingly and said, "Okay, I am the unlucky master, but I actually obeyed the apprentice's dispatch. To be clear, what do you want me to investigate?"

"The main reason is the situation of the garrison of Fenshui Island. After so long, Li Jiao may have completed the military's takeover work. This army may not be able to be brought back. This will be a very terrible new force of Li Jiao. Its combat ability is many times higher than the mobs in his resident place. So I have been thinking about Li Jiao's true intention, is he blocking Fenshui Island for himself to completely occupy the north, or is it just for the more than 40,000 elite soldiers on the island?

Now the more than 40,000 troops on the island have been destroyed by me, and nearly 20,000 people have been captured. With his current strength, he is not sure to defend the Fenshui Island and continue to reinforce the Fenshui Island. I am afraid that he has no extra troops; just guarding like this? He may be defeated by us; give up the Fenshui Island and withdraw these troops to his territory? I am afraid that if we pursue it, they will be defeated. So I think Li Jiao must have been in a dilemma for this period of time and has been considering a safe strategy.

We also know that Li Jiao colluded with the Great Zhou Kingdom. Since it is possible to obtain the Mengyin border and eliminate the situation where he was attacked by front and back, he would definitely choose to give up the Fenshui Island and use his vitality to his back cover. So I wonder if Li Jiao's attack on Linbin City this time was to cover his retreat? After all, instead of putting the remaining 20,000 troops far away from his base and being stuck with us, he might as well withdraw and put these elite soldiers to the real world.

He went to the useful place. If he wanted to retreat, he had to prevent us from taking the opportunity to pursue, so he let out 30,000 troops to drag us in Linbin City, and he took the opportunity to lead the army to retreat from the water. When their two armies met, they could cover each other, so that they would not be afraid of our pursuit. Do you see if my idea is correct?" Li Mingran had been thinking about this situation for a long time, so now he told the story in front of everyone, which seemed to be organized and clear.

After listening to his analysis, everyone here was shocked. These people have lived for most of their lives. People like Lin Lingfeng and Saint Hand Wang are even more experienced and experienced. However, they have never been exposed to military aspects. They are not familiar with this kind of military action. So after listening to Li Ming's analysis, they suddenly felt enlightened. In addition to being amazed, they couldn't help but feel relieved of Li Ming's progress.

They knew that Li Ming's advantage lies in his familiarity with China's history for 5,000 years, and at the same time he was very familiar with the history of world development. Of course, it also includes various military actions and strategies. It can be said that in order to better control the situation in the future, he took the time to read all the war history and examples of war in China and abroad in the computer, and of course he also benefited a lot from it. Although he could not adapt to the situation, it was still possible to use it now. At the same time, after reading so much war knowledge and theories, a subtle concept of war has naturally formed in Li Ming's mind. Therefore, when analyzing Li Jiao's intentions, he could consider and investigate from all aspects.

Suddenly, as soon as the door opened, a member of the personal guard waiting outside walked in and reported to Li Minghui: "Report to the lord, Marshal Zhang is asking for a meeting outside the door."

Li Ming was stunned and couldn't help but look at Lin Lingfeng and the Saint King. Although he was Li Ming's father-in-law, Li Ming did not dare to tell him everything about him. After all, Zhang Meng is a very famous loyal minister. Although he is very disappointed with the court at present, if he and Li Ming were asked to rebel early, he would definitely take Li Ming down first. Therefore, except for asking him to do some military training and some military consultants, Li Ming never invited him to the core of his management. Of course, he had to make excuses to do this. For Lin Ming, Zhang Meng would not doubt anything. Therefore, when Li Ming proposed that in order to prevent the court from knowing that Zhang Meng was here, he needed to be very low-key. Like Yuchi Xiong, he happily accepted the job of training recruits. However, at this time, he came to the door. What was going on?

Li Ming did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly ordered his personal guard to invite Zhang Meng in, and then invited him to sit down next to Lin Lingfeng.

Before he could sit down, Zhang Meng couldn't wait to ask: "Li Ming, I heard that you have appointed Yuchi Xiong as the governor of Jiangzhou to command this Linbin City defense battle? Is it true?" After asking this, he looked at Li Ming with bright eyes, waiting for his answer.

Li Ming was a little hesitant. What exactly did Zhang Meng mean? Are you so concerned about it, or are you blaming Li Ming for not sending him? If it were the latter, Li Ming would be difficult to deal with. He had already considered Zhang Meng's, but considering that Yuchi Xiong was more familiar with the tactics of the southern infantry, he did not choose him. But now, if he was going to come to prosecute the army, it really made it difficult for Li Ming to explain. He couldn't tell Zhang Meng that he had never fought in the south, and that his northern cavalry-style field tactics would not work here. If that's the case, Li Ming would not have a good life in the future.

The Saint King of the Sage knew everything about it, so he hurriedly said, "Yes, Marshal Zhang, there is indeed such a thing. This matter was suggested to my husband. I am the chairman of the command department. It is my responsibility for such candidates to appoint."

"You are so confused!" Zhang Meng said very annoyedly: "You have never experienced any wars, so don't think too simple about them. War does not mean that you have more troops and well-trained ones, but you will definitely be able to win a battle. There are too many factors that affect them. One of them is cohesion and morale, which are the most important. Haven't you ever thought about it? The soldiers and horses in Linbin City have always been the personal soldiers of King Kang, and ordinary people have no way to control them. And as far as I know from Wang Wenchu, it took Zhang Meng half a year to conquer them. That's it, it can't be said that they can completely convince them. At present, except for the Wang Wen team led by Zhang Meng before.

In addition, he couldn't believe that the other teams were the reason. Now, just before the war, you actually let Yuchi Xiong replace Zhang Meng, which is definitely a taboo in military strategists. Although Yuchi Xiong is famous, it is not enough to make those officers and soldiers agree in a short period of time. Moreover, Cao Bao's command authority will also be questioned. It is already very difficult to re-order these people. Therefore, although your idea is good, now, I estimate that Linbin City is already very dangerous. We must send troops to reinforce immediately and attack them from behind the enemy. Only in this way can we completely solve the worries of Linbin City." Zhang Meng was indeed very anxious. When he said this, sweat had already bleached on his forehead.

"Okay!" Li Ming was also very anxious when he heard Zhang Meng say this. Although the 30,000 Zhongzhou troops might be to cover the army of Fenshui Island, if they were lucky enough to break through Linbin City, Li Jiao's plan would probably change again. If he wanted to retake Linbin City, he would probably have to pay a huge price, so Linbin City must not be lost.

"Wang Tao obeys the order! All the original caravan frigates stayed on Biquan Island to defend strictly to prevent Li Jiao from taking the opportunity to attack. Yang Dian, you lead your original warship and take 20,000 soldiers together with the merchant ships on the island to send them to the Iron Mountain Wharf, which is still controlled by us. Wang Tao, you personally drive the iron-armed warship to escort, and you can't let any enemy warships go. Brother, this battle is the first real battle of the armed forces on our island, so asking your father-in-law to command is the best way. These are our own troops, and there are no problems like the ones encountered by Yuchi Xiong." At this time, Li Ming didn't care about so much. If you keep Zhang Meng in front of you, you would be a real fool.

Zhang Meng shook his head and said, "I still say the same thing. Changing commanders at the last minute is a taboo in military strategists, so I will not accept the order. However, I can be a counselor in the army and guide them at any time to fight. So you can rest assured? Through my observation and training these days, I found that Zhuo Junhao, the current acting commander, was very good. Although he was just a deputy general around Wang Wen, it was not bad at all compared to Wang Wen. He could learn from what I taught in the past and was very promising, so I wanted him to take this opportunity to exercise well. Don't worry, there is absolutely nothing to do with me around him. I believe that after this war, he will grow up quickly, so let him lead the army this time."

Li Ming nodded and said, "This is the best way to do this. We urgently need some young generals. Now it is the best opportunity to exercise. Let's do this. Zhuo Junhao is still a major now. Brother, immediately promote him to lieutenant colonel and officially divide the soldiers on the island into two army brigades. The commander of the first brigade is Zhuo Junhao, and he is under two 10,000 teams, responsible for the reinforcements in Linbin City. The second brigade also has two 10,000 teams, and I don't care about the leader's candidates. You can promote yourself. The second brigade will be responsible for the defense of Biquan Island after the first team leaves the island. The naval commander Wang Tao, deputy commanders Yang Dian and Wang Dong, must cooperate with the work of the two army brigades in this operation. You must not only do a good job in dealing with the enemy's naval army, but also ensure the logistics support of the first brigade. Brother, in order to increase our successful grasp of this battle, I will bring our company with me and let them taste the power of long-range strikes."

"Yes!" Everyone who received the instructions agreed and hurriedly went down and prepared to set off. Although Li Ming repeatedly urged, it was already eight hours later when the army left the dock.

Linbin City, after receiving the instructions from Yuchi Xiong, Cao Bao gave the order and led his personal guards to mercilessly kill the soldiers who were blocking the intersection. In a short while, under the panic of all the soldiers, the passage leading to the city wall was barely opened. The reinforcements below rushed up. They were so anxious that they were full of anger that they immediately found the target of venting, and they were like tigers going down the mountain to kill the Zhongzhou soldiers who were gradually having an advantage. Suddenly, this local situation began to be beneficial to the defense side.

In this way, Cao Bao was killing his own people on the city wall, opening one passage after another for reinforcements. Finally, when the reinforcements swarmed up and killed all the Zhongzhou soldiers who rushed up the city wall, everyone found that Cao Bao and Yuchi Xiong fell on the flesh-and-blooded city wall together-
