Chapter 1305 I'm looking for you to solve my doubts

Inside the tent of King Chuang's headquarters northwest of Xianggong Temple, all the leaders of the Chuang army actively spoke up and vied for the chance to go into battle...

In fact, according to the response strategy just agreed upon, it is nothing more than digging trenches on the left and right sides and besieging the Xianggong Temple. In addition, there are teams on the left and right sides guarding the grain roads and grain-collecting areas. In total, there are only five groups of people.

Whether the teams guarding the grain routes and grain-collecting areas here can encounter Xuan’s army and have a battle to fight depends entirely on luck.

The teams on the left and right responsible for digging trenches were different. They could be said to be the ones who had to rescue the enemy when attacking. No matter what, Xuan's army would not sit idly by and watch them dig long trenches and trap themselves inside.

Therefore, these two routes will inevitably face fierce attacks from Xuan's army, and thus become the main line of competition among the leaders, even surpassing the enthusiasm of commanding the siege of Xuan's army camp at Xianggong Temple.

They were fighting for the position, and finally had to ask King Chuang to personally decide who would lead the troops...

The Xianggong Temple side was originally under the command of Chief Sentinel Liu Zongmin. The three leaders, Bai Minghe, Xie Junyou, Gu Ying, and Zhang Nai's firearms battalion troops were left here and dispatched by Chief Sentinel Liu.

Liu Fangliang was in charge of directing the digging of trenches on the east route. Four leaders, Liu Tichun, Ma Shiyao, Liu Rukui and Ren Jiguang, were assigned to this route and were all under the command of Liu Fangliang alone.

The task of digging trenches on the west route was given to Tian Jianxiu to command. Four leaders, Ren Jirong, Dang Shousu, Xin Sizhong and Li Michang, were assigned to this route and were also under the command of Tian Jianxiu alone.

The other two teams guarding the grain route were led by Li Guo and Li Yan...

Among them, Zhang Neng, Ma Chongxi, Helan and three others followed Li Guo on the western route. They were responsible for guarding the grain transportation route between Weishi, Xuzhou and Xiangcheng.

Since Li Yan was originally from Qi County, he was very familiar with the geography and customs of eastern Henan. So he led Lu Yingbiao and Tong Shoushan to be responsible for the collection of grain and exploration in eastern and southern Henan.

Li Mou and Gu Kecheng followed Gao Yigong to guard the old camp in Zhuxian Town, and at the same time supported the troops of Li Guo and Li Yan.

King Chuang himself was stationed at the central army headquarters. The troops including the central army commanders Wu Ruyi and Li You, the general Yuan Zongde, the lieutenant general He Jinlong, the leader of the child soldiers Luo Hu and Li Shuangxi, were all left at the headquarters in case of emergency.

At the same time, the letter written by Niu Jinxing to the local tyrants Han Jiadi and Liu Xuan will also be handed over to the tiger Li Guo, who will meet these two people in person to win them over and also take the opportunity to intimidate them. This is also the main reason why King Chuang sent Li Guo on this journey.

"A Tiger" is not a man who gets his reputation for nothing, he is a well-known name in the green forest. In addition, with the even more famous "King of Rebellion" behind him, it seems that with Li Guo stationed in western Henan, Han Jiadi, Liu Xuan and others would not dare to act rashly.

Now that the assignments in various directions had been decided, everyone felt much more relaxed. Although not everyone was satisfied, due to King Chuang's personal prestige and everyone's admiration for him, they all gladly accepted his orders.

Of course, for the specific distribution of troops, if the troops under the command of each leader are not the same, even if some consideration has been given before the generals are assigned, some fine-tuning of the troops under the command of each general is still required to better suit their respective tasks.

The entire military meeting lasted until dusk. The generals were about to go to the battlefields in the east, west, south and north. King Chuang ordered the central army to prepare some wine and food to encourage the generals to go to the battle.

This time, King Chuang made an exception and toasted all the generals to encourage them and wish them a successful start of the battle, the capture of Kaifeng and the conquest of the world!

…………

Tong Shoushan was very active at the banquet, and his carefree personality was well-liked by everyone. Of course, the most important reason was that he was a good fighter, and the troops under his command were becoming increasingly powerful.

Tong Shoushan understands the principle that strength is king, and he is well versed in it!

Since he surrendered to King Chuang, he has always adhered to this principle, quietly expanding his own team while keeping a low profile, and showing a carefree and careless character to get along with the leaders, which made him prosper and finally occupied a place in the Chuang army. At this moment, Tong Shoushan was receiving military orders from Li Yan. Although he usually looked carefree and didn't care about anything, he was serious in formal occasions, especially in front of the superior leaders.

"General Li, do you have any other instructions?"

Looking at the bearded Tong Shoushan, Li Yan's heart could not help but ripple. He had heard a lot about Tong Shoushan's glorious deeds, but there was one thing that he couldn't understand...

Why is it that military officers like Tong Shoushan in the imperial court were mostly mediocre when serving in the imperial court, but once they switched to the side of King Chuang, they could quickly come to the fore, and even quickly become a general in the Chuang army like Tong Shoushan?

"Is it possible... that the court is really finished?"

However, he could only keep this question in his heart and never dared to reveal it to anyone around him. Even his own brother Li Mou was the same, who did not dare to reveal a single word of his thoughts to him.

"General Tong, at 7:00 tomorrow morning, you will bring the cavalry of the Shanzi Camp to my camp to gather, and we will set out together. As for the infantry teams in your camp, you can set out at 9:00 after breakfast. Don't bring the old camp and their families with you, we are not going out for an outing."

Tong Shoushan saluted with a serious face and said, "Yes, Shoushan will obey General Li's order."

"You should go back to the camp and get ready."

"Yes."

Watching Tong Shoushan's receding figure, Li Yan was filled with emotion. He also wanted to be a pure general like Tong Shoushan, strictly following the orders of the Grand Marshal. How wonderful that would be...

Unfortunately, he is not Tong Shoushan, and he cannot be Tong Shoushan, because he is Master Li Yan!

…………

The reason why Li Yan did not go back to the camp directly was that he had some things in his heart that he had to say. However, he did not rashly go directly to ask for an audience with Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion. Instead, he first found his military advisor Song Xiance.

He waited in Song Xiance's tent for a while before seeing Song Xiance slowly coming back.

As soon as Song Xiance saw Li Yan, he seemed to know what he was thinking, and asked with a smile: "Lin Quan, why do you want to come and chat with me when you are not going back to the camp to prepare for the march?"

Li Yan smiled awkwardly and said in a low voice: "I have some questions in my mind and I don't know whether I should tell the Grand Marshal. That's why I came to you to help me solve my doubts."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Song Xiance had guessed something. He pulled Li Yan and walked two steps deeper into the tent before he said softly, "But is it about setting up officials in the Central Plains to govern the country and protect the people?"

"Hey……"

Song Xiance sighed heavily and said, "Lin Quan, in terms of wisdom, you are not inferior to me. In terms of knowledge, even compared with Qidong, you are not much inferior. But why are you so obsessed with this matter?"

Li Yan was startled and said hurriedly: "Brother Ce, please help me solve this puzzle!"
