As Zhao Kuangyin said, the costumes of the Shouzhou military formation were not neat at all. In the second half of the three military formations, there were both extremely fancy ethnic costumes and many farmers' clothing mainly brown and gray.

Li Gu quickly noticed these details and couldn't help laughing: "If you look closely at Lin Feng's formation, you can learn a lot of things. He did pull some reinforcements, but the overall number was not large. Moreover, these people had never played in previous matchups. I think this is very likely to be Lin Feng's suspicious plan. Those soldiers may be villagers who were trained or temporarily recruited. What I haven't figured out yet is that if Lin Feng did not have so many troops, why would he have to fight with us in the field?"

Shi Detong smiled beside him and said, "What Li Shuai said is very true. I think this is Lin Feng's forced action. The layers of blocking should be to buy time for reinforcements from the rear of Xiao Tang. If you don't defend the city, you come to the field to fight, so you are afraid that you want to take the opportunity to eliminate the dissidents in the army. Of course, you may also want to ambush and raid our army in secret."

When he heard Shi Detong's "big argument", Hou Zhang, Li Chongjin, Zhao Kuangyin and other generals frowned. To eliminate the differences, Lin Feng would not be so despicable.

Wusheng Jiedushi Hou Zhang first refuted: "Li Shuai, there must be something strange about this matter. From the specific process of crossing the river, it can be seen that Lin Feng is definitely not a person who can easily guess. This person acts carefully and does this must have a deep meaning. I suggest thinking twice."

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but speak: "Li Shuai, according to the detailed report lurking in Shouzhou, Shouzhou originally had about 14,000 Shouzhou troops, plus thousands of soldiers training, the total number was only over 20,000. From this, it is inferred that Lin Feng really might have brought nearly 10,000 reinforcements from Chu. From the perspective of time, if Lin Feng sent people to Chu as soon as he entered Shouzhou, it would be too late."

Shi Detong immediately retorted: "Not whether Lin Feng had a clever plan to predict the war in advance, those tribal troops have always been able to get up early without profit. Where did Lin Feng get so much money to ask them to run thousands of miles to help the war? If Lin Feng wants to run to Chu land thousands of miles away to recruit soldiers, it would be better to go to Jinling City to ask for reinforcements. Besides, if Xiao Tang's capital had never sent reinforcements, he could easily allow him to borrow soldiers from Chu land privately.

I think this matter is as Li Shuai said. Those soldiers wearing barbarian costumes were completely Lin Feng’s suspicious plan. It is possible that Lin Feng hid Jinling reinforcements after the battle formation. Unfortunately, we know nothing about the military deployment of the Southern Tang Dynasty in Huainan."

Shi Detong's speculation caused many generals to nod. His analysis of reinforcements in Chu is reasonable. Moreover, it has been eight days since the Zhou army stationed troops on the north bank of the Huai River. If the Southern Tang sent troops from Jinling as soon as possible, they would have arrived.

"I don't think it's possible. If Jinling really sent troops here, I think Lin Feng would never give up the Huaihe natural danger in front of the imperial guards. He would definitely fight to the death. Especially today's fortress battle, our army almost effortlessly, and there must be conspiracy." Zhao Kuangyin immediately retorted loudly.

Shi Detong glanced at Zhao Kuangyin with dissatisfaction and said disdainfully: "Then please help General Zhao solve everyone's confusion, why did Lin Feng sing this?"

Zhao Kuangyin paused a little, but when he saw Shi Detong's contemptuous eyes, he could not help but express the doubts he had been thinking about: "Li Shuai, the last general insisted that Lin Feng was a far-sighted person, and he always took a few steps and should not be underestimated. Xiao Tang had previously secretly contacted the Liao Kingdom, and the rebellion of the four states of Jin and Jiang in our dynasty should have been secretly provoked by Lin Feng. After thinking about it carefully, I am afraid that after Lin Feng took the initiative to attack Fuzhou and Chaozhou after regaining Qingyuan, it seemed that there was also the thought of restraining Wu Yue and Southern Han countries to prevent them from attacking Xiao Tang's hinterland when our army headed south; based on this inference, Lin Feng made such a plan as early as possible is probably to deal with today's situation of the war between the north and the south."

"Tsk." Shi Detong immediately shook his head and said with even more disdainful tone, "Listen to General Zhao, Lin Feng is even smarter than Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms? General Zhao, all of this is pure speculation. Don't go so far. Just tell me why Lin Feng did this today."

Hou Zhang, who had been frowning and thinking, interrupted: "I think what General Zhao said is worth pondering. I also think that reinforcements from Jinling have not arrived yet. First, the primary task of the imperial guards is to guard the capital. When our army goes south, we will never easily transfer it. Time will not be so fast; second, Lin Feng has now commanded 30,000 troops, and Xiao Tang doesn't think he will easily bring more soldiers to him."

Mr. Hou's words immediately attracted the recognition of several generals of the Jiedu Army and nodded together.

This is almost a hidden rule for the emperors to control local officials in history. No, no matter how powerful the governor of one side is, it is unlikely that you will openly have too many soldiers. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the frequent replacement of northern regimes was almost entirely due to the rebellion of generals holding heavy troops. Now, none of the governors in the world commanded more than 30,000 troops. Lin Feng was just the governor of a small state in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Even if he was inappropriate, he could command 30,000 troops. This was an exception.

Shi Detong was speechless for a while, remembered his old question again and continued to ask: "General Zhao, you haven't told you what you think of Lin Feng's move today."

Zhao Kuangyin looked solemn, and looked at the Shouzhou army in the distance and breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhao and Lin Feng met in Linhuai Town. The deepest impression he left on me was his unconcealed confidence. If we take a step back, Lin Feng challenged repeatedly and blocked the river bank, which was not a harsh but a sense of confidence. He was really challenging us. Then, Lin Feng's battle situation today may be to show our strength to us and let the enlisted soldiers go through the battlefield training."

Shi Detong's eyes suddenly widened and looked at Zhao Kuangyin in disbelief. His right hand couldn't help but point at him: "General Zhao, you were scared by Lin Feng, right? What's the battle between the north and the south in front of him? Lin Feng led a small Shouzhou to fight against our 180,000 elite troops and our Great Zhou Kingdom."

Several surprised generals breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but chuckle. If they really followed Zhao Kuangyin's ideas, it would be too nonsense and ridiculous.

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were red, straightened his body, pointed to the Shouzhou military formation below and shouted: "Since Lin Feng's debut, there have been more people who despise him and more countries who despise him, but without exception, they all failed. The State of Chu is the proof, Qingyuan is the proof, and the unfavorable wars in our four prefectures of Jin and Jiang are also the proof.

Then General Shi, tell me, why did Lin Feng go crazy? He pulled 30,000 soldiers into Shouzhou to defend the city by the city is not better than anything else. Look at the soldiers, they have basically never moved since they stood there. Could this be a group of mobs?”

Shi Detong was also furious and roared with his eyes on his hips: "Are we defeated in the four prefectures of Jin and Jiang? Now we have recovered the lost territory. It is a small Shouzhou. Does it have so much food? If you don't take the opportunity to kill some soldiers who eat food, can Lin Feng keep it?"

Zhao Kuangyin's anger was really stirred up by Shi Detong and shouted: "The tip has long been said. After Lin Feng arrived in Shouzhou, he tried his best to please wealthy businessmen all over the world. Many people sent food one after another. How do you know that there is not enough food in the city? Lin Feng's reputation for benevolence, righteousness and magnanimity are everywhere. Many people say that he would despise the lives of soldiers so much, and he would still lead troops in the future."

"Okay, don't make a noise." Li Gu, who was holding the city certificate on the south side of the fortress, coughed lightly and suppressed the voices of the two of them. "Formation battle is formation battle. Our warriors of Great Zhou will never be afraid of it. Let's only discuss how to attack."

The commander got angry, and the two quarreled naturally calmed down. A group of generals quickly unified the combat thinking: put the Shouzhou army on the ground, the main elite of the army quickly crossed the river, and five thousand cavalrymen opened the way, and then 30,000 infantry fought one-on-one. Taking advantage of the melee between the two sides, tens of thousands of elite soldiers were sent to destroy them in one fell swoop.
