The next attack plan of the Zhou army was already very obvious, that is, to directly divide the troops into four groups to attack with all their might. Lin Feng urgently ordered the special forces to reconnaissance along the river bank, and at the same time ordered the deputy generals and above in the army to rush to Xidaying behind the water camp to discuss matters.

When these generals arrived, the reconnaissance information also arrived: at the dock in the north of Shouzhou City, the Zhou army also built two floating bridges in the rear.

Before Lin Feng could speak, King Ji Li Congqian brought Chen Fei's brothers and four of Lin Hong over and rushed over. As soon as he entered the tent, he shouted: "Mr. Lin, I didn't catch up with the last battle. I must not be able to leave me again this time."

The last time the Zhou army crossed the river and attacked, Li Congqian was training with Chen Fei and the others in the Youth Military Academy. After hearing the news, he was very upset and kept shouting that he would lead the young soldiers of the Youth Military Academy to the battlefield. Lin Feng comforted and suppressed him. This time, he came to the door on his own initiative.

Lin Feng signaled Chen Fei and the others to go out first, then put the tent on martial law and began a secret military agreement.

In the first item of the military discussion, Lin Feng first raised a major problem: the defense issues of various counties in Shouzhou.

Lin Feng did not hide it from the difficulties in defense and asked everyone to discuss and make an idea together.

At the beginning, because Li Congqian was present, everyone was speechless. After a long time, Xi Mucheng said, "I suggest that the county towns be given up and all the population will be temporarily moved to Shouzhou."

When the people in the house heard the sound, they shook their heads. If there were tens of thousands of people in Shouzhou City, the food in the city would last for a few days. This was equivalent to tying one's own hands and feet and surrendering without fighting.

Lin Feng also shook his head slightly, wanting to say but having nothing to say, and he completely felt the deep desolation of those guards who lived and died in the past wars.

The 180,000 Zhou army, who were like wolves and tigers, could just split tens of thousands of people and sweep these four small counties in just one time. If there were too many defenders and dispersing the defensive power of Shouzhou, it was one thing that could not be occupied in the small county town, and the grain storage in the city could not stand it. If there were too few soldiers, it would be purely to send sheep into the tiger's mouth. No matter how you choose, it would be a puppet to lose its manpower, but if Lin Feng really wanted to give up those people, he would not be able to overcome his psychological level at all.

Except for Lin Feng bowing his head and saying nothing, the others unanimously turned their attention to Li Congqian.

Li Congqian, who had a relaxed look, felt this invisible pressure, slowly sat up straight, and his face became stern. After a long time, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said loudly: "I am King Ji and the military supervisor. I'll make an idea about this matter. I think we should focus on Shouzhou. Each county can abandon it if necessary and surrender. As long as we don't join the enemy, we will not be punished in the future. However, Mr. Lin, you must swear to me that we must regain every county town in the future."

The other generals couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Li Congqian was willing to come forward to take on the political responsibility of ordering the abandonment of the city, which was undoubtedly the best result.

"Please testify to you, I solemnly swear to King Ji that even if I sacrifice this life, I will recover all counties and towns intact." Lin Feng stood up slowly, raised his right hand high, bowed deeply to Li Congqian, expressing his deep apology and gratitude to him.

This time, Lin Feng deliberately asked Li Congqian to take responsibility, and there was no way to do so. As long as the war in the north and south could develop according to the plan he set and successfully recovered these four counties, the matter of Li Congqian's abandonment of the city was a trivial matter.

Lin Feng did not put down his right hand, two lines of tears flowed out from his closed eyes, and he choked with sobs: "Today, I, Lin Feng, cannot protect every Shouzhou people. This is a shame that I, Lin Feng, will never forget. I, Lin Feng, swear here, that as long as the Zhou army does any harm to the people in Shouzhou, I will definitely repaid it in the future."

Feng Jingyun, Ge Chang, Lin Renzhao, Wei San, and Cheng Yuehai jumped up at the same time, beat their chests and shouted: "We also solemnly swear."

Suo Chao, Li Yuanqing, Yang Kuai and others were slowing down for half a beat, but they all stood up and roared.

Li Congqian was also infected by the atmosphere in the tent. He jumped to the chair and beat his chest and shouted: "On behalf of the Tang Dynasty, I will never let anyone go to harm my Tang Dynasty people."

The other generals also roared at the same time: "Don't let anyone go who hurt my Tang people."

Amid the roar, Xi Mucheng quietly retreated and arranged the matters agreed just now.

After calming down in the tent, Lin Feng looked serious and announced that he would start discussing the second agenda, how to deal with the enemy's pontoon attack.

Influenced by the atmosphere just now, the generals suggested that half of the defenders in Shouzhou be pulled to the bank of the Huai River and never let a Zhou army go up the river embankment.

Lin Feng turned his head and asked Lu Jiang in a low voice. Several movable trenchers were designed. Lu Jiang shook his head slightly and stretched out two fingers.

There were no more two, Lin Feng roared: "Okay, as everyone said, let us use their blood to tell these enemies that our Shouzhou will be their eternal nightmare, kill."

"Kill, kill, kill." The generals also turned into bloodthirsty mad demons and roared.

Chen Fei, Lin Hong and the others rushed in outside the tent, and together with Li Congqian, who jumped onto the chair again, waved his little fists and shouted loudly.

Taking advantage of this excitement, Lin Feng ordered the six deputy generals to lead their subordinates and the regiment to train soldiers to defend against the attack lines of the six floating bridges and start preparing for the battle immediately.

All the generals took the orders and left.

At the same time, the Southern Tang Dynasty Hall, which had held several celestial meetings in succession, was also excited, but they were told that they had received two urgent reports from the 800-mile fast rider:

An earlier letter was an emergency report from King E and the governor of Jiangyin Li Jingda. Wu Yue sent 40,000 troops to attack Changzhou, and it is very likely that more than 100,000 troops were sent to attack Fuzhou and Quanzhang.

Another letter was sent by Chen Hui, the governor of Jianzhou and Zhangwu. He reported that Fuzhou to the north and Chaozhou to the south might be subject to heavy troops. He asked the court to send troops and grain to support him very early.

With the Zhou Bing who had already been in the Huaihe River, the current Southern Tang Dynasty is very likely to face three powerful enemies at the same time. This situation is completely the situation predicted by Lin Feng before. This fact is like an invisible mountain, which makes the atmosphere that has been suppressed in the Southern Tang Dynasty even stronger.

At the beginning, Li Jing told the defensive plan of Lin Feng to set up three defense lines along the Huai River, Jiangbei and Jiangnan. He thought it would win the approval of the ministers, but who knew that he was intentionally or unintentionally attacked by a group of ministers to be useless.

Some people suggested that if Wu Yue sent a side army to attack, he could attack Jinling to the west and crossed the river to the north to attack Dongdu, it was all a ruthless move by the Black Tiger. Of course, this naive and ridiculous thing was immediately attacked by other ministers without any use. This is like the Southern Tang Dynasty could also send a side army to successfully raid Hangzhou, the capital of Wu Yue.

Some people suggested that all elite soldiers from Fenghua, Anhua, Zhennan, Zhaowu and other places should be summoned to Jinling City as soon as possible to strengthen city defense. This suggestion is similar to Lin Feng's third line of defense, and was also sneered by many ministers.

Li Hongji of the Eastern Capital also sent a war order, requesting to lead the troops of the Eastern Capital to the front line to help, and also asked the ministers to argue about whether the Eastern Capital should send troops in that direction.

Similar to this, there are many things.

The debate theme of the Southern Tang Dynasty changed three times a day, and the final resolution was not reached for a long time.

After King Li Jing of Qi rushed back from Chuzhou, a blind censor submitted a memorial saying that the western capital of the Tang Dynasty was very close to the eastern capital, and was too close to the Zhou Kingdom and Wu Yue, so he should prepare for the future. Moving the capital to Hongzhou (now Nanchang, Jiangxi) where the Zhennan Army was located or Tanzhou in Chu was even more beneficial to the long-term prosperity of the country.
