In the lobby of Pidaoyuan General Military Mansion, which is now the temporary foothold of Governor Denglai, Lu Xiangsheng is holding a military meeting.

"Chen Zongbing, I just arrived, so please report on the situation in North Korea." Lu Xiangsheng said to Chen Jisheng who was standing at the front.

Chen Jisheng was quite surprised that Lu Xiangsheng suddenly led an army to Phi Island, because according to the previous regulations, these troops were resting in Denglai and would take at least half a month before returning to Phi Island.

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng was concerned about the situation in North Korea as soon as he met, he wondered if there was going to be a big war in North Korea?

So he stepped out of the line in response, clasped his fists and said: "Back to Zhongcheng, the righteous people of North Korea are still coming to Phi Island in an endless stream, and even some small North Korean officials have come. They will be arranged on the island for the time being. Waiting for Zhongcheng Fall."

What Lu Xiangsheng wanted to ask was about the grain of Jianlu, but he was also concerned about Chen Jisheng's report, so he listened patiently.

"The Jianlu in North Korea are now going out much less, and they have all shrunk to big towns. Although there are a small number of dispatches, their scale is not small, so our army has gained less these days."

When Chen Jisheng said this, he remembered the important point of the omission, and quickly added: "Jianlu has carried out large-scale activities several times, and it seems that all the food collected has been concentrated in Pyongyang."

Lu Xiangsheng was overjoyed when he heard this, leaned his huge body forward slightly, and asked Chen Jisheng, "Are the people and food for Jianlu concentrated in Pyongyang?"

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng paid special attention, Chen Jisheng thought about it for a while to confirm, and then replied: "Back to Zhongcheng, according to the news of the righteous people of North Korea, not all the Jianlu were concentrated in Pyongyang. Those Jianlu who escorted food to Pyongyang returned to Pyongyang. The original big towns seem to be continuing to harvest grain.”

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng calculated in his mind. According to this military situation, it is very likely that the Jianlu of North Korea had received a letter from the slave chieftain of Liaodong, so he first gathered the grain he had harvested and prepared to transport it back to Liaodong.

He immediately announced: "I have received an urgent report from Zhang Zidao's ancestral general. The Liaodong slave chieftain has sent a messenger to request the North Korean Jianlu to quickly transport food back to Liaodong."

Speaking of this, Lu Xiangsheng raised his voice and said loudly: "Everyone, the Liaodong Jian captives are short of food, and we can't wait for the North Korean Jian captives to return after harvesting the grain."

The generals in the lobby had suffered from lack of food. When the governor said that Jianlu would also face the food shortage they had experienced before, they were all overjoyed and started talking.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't stop them either, and let them discuss.

After a while, the discussion in the lobby quieted down.Among them, Huang Long, the commander-in-chief, cupped his fists to Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Thanks to the Zhongcheng who burned Jianlu's food last time, otherwise such a good thing would not have happened."

He was alone, and now that he had the opportunity, he reacted immediately to flatter the new leader, hoping that the future would be easier.

When the others saw it, they didn't want to lag behind, and followed up one after another: "I didn't expect Zhongcheng to be so brave, and let Jianlu suffer so much."

"I think back then Cao Cao burned Yuan Shao's Wuchao army rations and won the battle of Guandu; today Zhongcheng burned Jianlu's rations, it can be said to be similar in purpose!"

"It's a pity that I didn't go to burn Jianlu's food with Zhongcheng before. It's really a pity."

"..."

When Lu Xiangsheng saw that they were talking more and more, he raised his voice and interrupted them: "Everyone, if we intercept the food again this time, Jianlu's strength will definitely be greatly damaged. In the future, the imperial court will attack Liaodong again, and it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Therefore This official has decided that this time the grain must not be transported back to Liaodong by Jianlu.”

"The general will follow orders." There was a neat voice of agreement in the lobby.

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, but a serious expression appeared on his face immediately, and he said seriously: "This time the grain transportation is a big matter, and it is impossible for Jianlu to not know. Therefore, they will definitely have a large number of troops to escort the grain, and there will be a group of people waiting for us." A tough fight."

All the generals in the hall heard it with awe, it seems that they are going to fight Jianlu head-on, this is something they have never done before, can it work?

They all looked at Lu Xiangsheng, feeling a little uneasy.

Lu Xiangsheng immediately noticed the change in the atmosphere in the hall, and he secretly sighed, the prestige accumulated by Jianlu's victories all the year round really cannot be underestimated.

He immediately sat up straight, looked at the generals in the hall and said: "Although there will be many more Jianlu guarding food than last time, what does that mean? I have fought face to face with Jianlu twice. The first time was at Qingshui Mingyue Pass, where one of the slave chiefs was captured alive; the second time was to chase down Jianlu’s grain guards.”

Speaking of this, Lu Xiangsheng turned to Zhang Xianzhong, who was standing beside him, and said, "That time when Jianlu saw me lead a team to charge, how did they behave?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong replied loudly: "Jianlu panicked and fled before the battle."

After Zhang Xianzhong replied, Lu Xiangsheng turned his head to look at the generals in the hall and said, "Jian captives are also human beings, and they too will be defeated and afraid. This time, I will personally lead the army and charge ahead. If you are a man, follow up." I robbed Jianlu of food."

The governor has to go to the battlefield to charge, and he has to rush to the front line. What else can these soldiers have to say!

And they were not like Guan Ning's Ming army, who stayed in the city from beginning to end.Although the Ming army in Dongjiang was poorly equipped, they had fought a lot with Jianlu, and the psychological disadvantage against Jianlu was not as great as Ningming's army.

Therefore, all the generals in the hall expressed their opinions one after another.

"If the final general didn't dare to fight Jianlu, he wouldn't be here."

"It's enough for the Zhongcheng to supervise the formation, and we will fight to kill the Jian captives."

"That's right, Zhong Cheng can't be allowed to fight, otherwise what are we doing?"

"..."

Everyone's reaction was seen by Lu Xiangsheng, and he couldn't help but secretly nodded in his heart, they were all a group of men.

After waiting for a while, after the movement in the hall subsided, he said: "Don't worry, generals, if the difference in strength between the enemy and us is too far, this officer will not let everyone go to die."

Hearing this, all the generals in the hall thought that Zhongcheng was indeed a man of courage and strategy, and he would not go his own way just because the result of the battle might be huge.

"Judging from the information collected so far, the North Korean Jianlu will not all escort the food back, and Liaodong has not seen it send troops to North Korea for the time being."

Lu Xiangsheng first talked about the current situation, and then said cautiously: "I estimate that Jianlu will not have such a small force to escort, so it can be speculated that Jianlu from Liaodong is likely to come to North Korea. For this reason, I have ordered Zu The lieutenant general sent more nights to investigate the troops sent by Liaodong Jianlu to North Korea. Mr. Chen."

"The last general is here." Chen Jisheng hurriedly came out again after hearing Lu Xiangsheng's name call.

"You also send Yebucollect, and with the help of the North Korean volunteers, try to find out how many troops the North Korean Jianlu will send to escort the food." Lu Xiangsheng ordered.

"The last general will get the order." Chen Jisheng loudly accepted the order.

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, and then announced: "I have already reported to the imperial court, and I ask Guan Ning's allies to respond to this action and send troops to contain the Jian captives."

All the generals in the hall heard that Lu Xiangsheng's arrangements were well-organized and thoughtful, and they were all full of confidence in this battle.

Lu Xiangsheng stood up at last and said loudly: "All generals will use their lives to win this battle and win the battle!"
