After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 155 Deployment
In the main camp, there were two deputy commanders, Jin Shaoyi and Yin Gang, as well as various lieutenant generals and more than 30 garrisons.

The tents were packed to the brim.

Almost everyone was skeptical about the military advisor sent by the imperial court.

Yin Gang frowned even more. When did the Queen have such a cousin and entrusted him with such an important task?

Pei Lan looked at the original plan icon on the sand table, "The original plan remains unchanged, and the guerrilla camp will wait for an opportunity to ambush."

He had just said a word when a soldier pulled aside the curtain and came in.

The soldier looked at the dozen generals in the tent, swallowed his saliva, and handed over the things in his hand, "General, there is another person in front of the city gate, saying that he was sent by the court."

Send another one?
Does the imperial court still send people one by one?
"Present it." Yin Gang said.

He opened the travel permit document presented by the soldier, with a strange look on his face, "Ji Yunzhang?"

"Your Majesty appoints Prince Xinling as deputy commander."

Suddenly there was a whisper in the tent. In a large camp, there was no commander-in-chief, but there were three deputy commanders.

Pei Lan looked up with a surprised look, and Jin Shaoyi saw it.

The question in his mind had not yet been asked.

What's going on between these two?

One woman disguised herself as a man to serve as a military advisor, and the other one had to catch up with her.

Jin Shaoyi shook off these thoughts. Since everyone was here now, he could just ask later.

"Quick, please bring the person in."

Yin Gang's face didn't look very good. He was recommended by Prime Minister Chen.

Jin Shaoyi is your Majesty's brother-in-law, and Ji Yunzhang was a member of the prince's party before your Majesty ascended the throne.

His Majesty appointed him as deputy commander-in-chief, and then immediately sent the Empress Dowager's cousin to be the military advisor, and asked Ji Yunzhang to appoint the deputy commander-in-chief.

Is this an attempt to expel him from the Southwest Camp?

When Ji Yunzhang came in covered in snow, he immediately saw the petite figure standing next to the sand table.

Jin Shaoyi grinned widely, stepped forward and punched him in the chest, "Ji Saner, Ji Saner, I almost thought you were really going to be so depressed."

Ji Yunzhang withdrew his gaze, covered his chest, and coughed twice secretly.

Ever since he woke up on the way back to Beijing, he seemed to be trapped in this body and didn't want to face anyone.

His body also quickly became thin. In the past, Jin Shaoyi was always his defeated opponent. Now, even if Jin Shaoyi gave him ten moves, he was afraid that he would not be able to win.

Yin Gang forced a smile and said, "Greetings, Prince."

Although their official positions are equal now, Ji Yunzhang is the first king of a different surname in the Da Qi Dynasty and is of the highest rank.

Ji Yunzhang waved his hand, "In the military, we only consider official positions, not titles."

"Just call me Yunzhang. General Yin is older than me and has more experience than me. I hope you will give me your guidance when we work together."

Yin Gang had been in Beijing for several years and had seen Ji Yunzhang before, but he was always a young man full of vigor and vitality, nothing like the calm and composed look he has now.

Ji Yunzhang clasped his hands together, with a sincere and earnest look on his face, which made his initial guess seem petty.

Jin Shaoyi pulled Ji Yunzhang to the side of the sand table and said, "You came at the right time. We are discussing the formation."

"This brother..." He almost said 'brother-in-law' as soon as he opened his mouth, and almost bit his tongue, "The first point, I just said the first point, Pei Lan just said the first point and you got it."

Ji Yunzhang looked at Pei Lan and nodded softly.

"Keep going, this is the most important thing right now."

Pei Lan nodded, no longer looking at Ji Yunzhang, and turned his gaze back to the sand table, "The original plan remains unchanged, and the Western Jin Dynasty will fall into the trap."

"General Jin showed me the rules of the Southwest Camp. The ambush camp has 2,000 men and 500 men are dispatched."

"It's snowy now. It's too conspicuous to go out. Everyone must cover themselves with a white cloth."

Before Pei Lan could finish his words, General Ma, the garrison commander of the guerrilla camp, could not help but speak up.

"Sir Pei, only five hundred? The other day, our guerrilla camp sent out two battalions, but they were fooled by the Western Jin Dynasty. Five hundred people are enough to fill their teeth. Are you asking my five hundred brothers to die?"

Before the battle even started, some people were already questioning him. This is a big taboo in a march.

Pei Lan looked at him coldly, "Warfare is the art of deception."

"If General Ma thinks that he can win by numbers, there are 200,000 in the northwest, 100,000 in the southwest, and less than 200,000 in the Western Jin. How come the general hasn't driven the Western Jin out yet, but has lost cities one after another?"

"The enemy doesn't need many people. A hundred people can dig the pit. You two battalions just need to line up and jump in one by one."

General Ma looked a little embarrassed. Since the invasion of the Western Jin Dynasty, they had been restricted everywhere. No matter what tactics they used or simply the number of people, they could not defeat them.

One after another, the fatigue was apparent and Da Qi's morale was getting lower and lower.

Pei Lan stopped looking at him and continued, "The other party is good at luring the enemy. There is no need to make the first battle complicated. We should give them a taste of their own medicine."

Then he looked at General Ma and said, "Please find 500 of the best runners."

When General Ma subconsciously wanted to refute again, he caught a glimpse of the eyes of the newly arrived deputy commander. Although he showed no emotion, he subconsciously closed his mouth.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, they were all young boys, why was he still scared...

Pei Lan pointed to a spot on the sand table and said, "Yanhui is a border town, and most of its food depends on Chengzhou and Jin'an."

"The main force has already taken Longhui, and Xiasha is between Yanhui and Shiqiu."

"It is the middle of winter now. The Western Jin Dynasty will not have much food supply, and the three cities they captured do not have much food reserves."

"Xiasha is the closest to Chengzhou..."

Yin Gang frowned at this time and shook his head. "No, Longhui is not far from Chengzhou. We are far away in Tongchang now. If what you said is true, the Western Jin Dynasty should have sent a large army to take Chengzhou directly, and would not use a small army to go from Yanhui to Xiasha and then take Chengzhou."

Pei Lan raised his head and said, "General, you are right, but have you ever thought about why the people of Western Jin Dynasty went to such great lengths to attack through Fengqing?"

"Daqi's terrain is half mountainous and half plain. From Wushan it is mountainous, and from Guangyang it is water. These are not what the Western Jin people are good at."

"The only way is to go through Shiqiu, Longhui, Sansha, Guangling, Jinchuan, Lijiang, and finally to Yanjing. Although this road may seem like a long way off the beaten track on the border map, it is all flat terrain. This is the fastest way for them to reach Yanjing."

"They wanted to fight a quick battle and win a quick victory, so the large army took advantage of the opportunity to go to Yangxie Town and take Yanhui after involving all the troops of Daqi."

"The main task of the large Western Jin army is to quickly capture the city, while the small army will have to solve the problem of transporting supplies and food."

Yin Gang pursed his lips. It's not like he had not analyzed the armies of the Western Jin Dynasty that were divided into two places. He always thought that the Western Jin Dynasty would merge the two forces into one.

Although Pei Lan's analysis made some sense, how could he, a young man who had never experienced a battlefield, be so sure?
