Bing Lan has always spoken simply and directly, although his answer surprised Liu Tingfeng, but after a little thought, he understood what he meant.

This is a prosperous city of smoke and willows, and the most developed industry is the green building, which naturally has a strong rouge smell.

Bing Lan had been deploying the garrison of the army all afternoon, and everywhere she went, she saw countless warblers and swallows, and everywhere there was a strong smell of rouge gouache.

For such a city, he is very unaccustomed to being cold, and in his eyes, it is not as comfortable as the Nine Star Forest!

If he had a choice, he would rather cultivate freely in Plum Blossom Villa than go to this prosperous place to participate in such a war.

However, people often can't help themselves, since he chose to go out of the mountain with Mu Qianmei, he has to live according to the survival laws of human society and cooperate with Mu Qianmei's war to protect his family and defend the country.

Liu Tingfeng also knew this, so he said to Bing Lan:

"I understand your feelings, in fact, I personally also dislike the environment here, but many times we have to learn to adapt to the environment first, and then find a way to change the environment."

"The industry here is too single, and it is not a good thing for the people, next, I will discuss with the Lord of Bicheng to change it, first control the number of green buildings, and then accelerate the development of other industries, so that the people have the opportunity to participate in more industries."

Bing Lan said indifferently:

"I don't understand any of this, and I don't want to learn, everything is up to the general, and I am only responsible for cooperating with the general to fight and train."

Liu Tingfeng nodded and said:

"Well, the focus of our work is also on this war, but the real war is not only the battle on the battlefield, these jobs are actually part of the war."

"When we are stationed in Ningle City, this is equivalent to a base camp for us, and the stability here is our firm foundation and backing, we must first straighten out the work of Ningle City, and the people are actively involved in the work, so that we can fight with peace of mind."

"They are our rear, and they need to provide us with a lot of materials and manpower, and with this foundation, we can have no worries and devote ourselves to the front-line battles."

Bing Lan replied with a flat expression:

"Understood, so when are we leaving?"

Liu Tingfeng pondered for a moment before replying:

"Five days later! In the past few days, Ningle City will be arranged first, and then recruit enough soldiers, our army can take the way of matching the old and the new, with the veterans leading the new recruits, so that the recruits also have the opportunity to participate in the battle, if you want to grow up as soon as possible, the battlefield is the best place to train. ”

"However, you can't be too radical, you can let them adapt to some less important positions at the beginning, and when they grow up, they will rush to the front line with veterans, and only after experiencing the test of blood and fire can they become real veterans."

Bing Lan immediately asked:

"Then I'll be in charge of recruiting and training!"

The two chatted for a while before they went back to their houses to rest.

Early the next morning, the entire Ningle City began to get busy, and the staffing of the City Lord's Mansion had also been completed, almost all of them were people from Ningle City, with Bi Anning as the city lord, his appeal and influence were still very great, whether it was from the academy or people from all walks of life, he was very familiar with it, and even many people from the rivers and lakes were also included in the City Lord's Mansion.

Liu Tingfeng sat in the city lord's mansion, just listen to Bi Anning's report, and then make some important instructions, he is in Ningle City, he is the veritable supreme leader.

In the past, when he was by Mu Qianmei's side, Liu Tingfeng almost didn't have to worry about anything, but now that he is independent, he has to seriously consider every decision, and at this time, he really realized that Mu Qianmei is not easy.

It's just a city that is not very large, and there are thousands of things to deal with and make decisions, and now Mu Qianmei needs to deal with the affairs of the entire Xiyu Country, isn't the burden on her shoulders a thousand times heavier!

Every time Liu Tingfeng made a decision, he would subconsciously imagine how she would make a decision if Mu Qianmei was there, and after thinking about it, he made his own decision.

Here, Liu Tingfeng almost represents the imperial court, and every one of his instructions will affect the next development of the entire city.

Therefore, Liu Tingfeng also became extremely cautious, and had the experience of assisting Mu Qianmei to review the music for a period of time, which had a great effect at this time, he followed Mu Qianmei, first learned to focus on the overall situation in everything, but to start from the details.

Under the control of this way of thinking, the decisions made are basically not very wrong.

In the past, when I watched Mu Qianmei review the chapter and make decisions on the spot, she seemed very calm, always looking light, no matter how important the matter, she could do it as if it were light, and it was fast and smooth to deal with, handy, and she could grasp the key points of the matter, very skillful.

However, now he needs to think about it for a long time, and even think about how Mu Qianmei will make a decision, and then he can make a decision.

After experiencing it in person, I realized that it was not easy, and when no one was around, Liu Tingfeng couldn't help muttering:

"In terms of the ability to deal with these affairs, I will never reach the level of my senior sister in my life."

After five busy days, all the affairs of Ningle City have basically been straightened out, and the recruitment and training of troops have also gone smoothly, and a total of three million recruits have been recruited.

In fact, if Liu Tingfeng released the conditional collection, the number of people would definitely be more, but Liu Tingfeng knew that quantity was not as important as quality after all, and if he wanted to go to the battlefield, he would have to be responsible for their life and death, and if the conditions were too poor, he could not be levied casually.

After careful consideration, Liu Tingfeng left 100,000 veterans in Ningle City, and then selected 2.1 million people from the recruits, and formed a 5 million army with the previous veterans, ready to start his expedition.

Before setting off, Liu Tingfeng and his generals had discussed their strategy for a long time.

Some people suggested going directly to attack Dong'an City, because it was now the base camp of Longxiao Kingdom in Xiyu Kingdom, and as long as Dong'an City was breached, the war would be half successful. ‘“”’

However, Liu Tingfeng did not agree with such a strategy, because from the news reported by the spies, it can be known that in addition to the five million troops of Longxiao Kingdom, the current Dong'an City also has Gao Xiujie and the defenders before Ning Le City, adding up to nearly seven million troops.

Attacking a city with seven million defenders with an army of five million is highly unlikely to succeed.

What's more, among Liu Tingfeng's 5 million army, there are still 2.1 million recruits, and such a combination of old and new will greatly reduce combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Liu Tingfeng instead suggested attacking the five million troops of Longxiao Kingdom outside the city first, and the five million troops had been scattered by Longxiao Kingdom in the towns around Dong'an City, and they were stationed on the border line of Xiyu Kingdom, the purpose was to add a line of defense to Dong'an City, and at the same time retain a border passage that was convenient for advance and retreat.

A scattered army of five million will be easier to defeat than a concentrated army of seven million.

After detailed deliberation and analysis, Liu Tingfeng's strategy was finally agreed, which was to start from the periphery of the big city, in Liu Tingfeng's words, it was called "the countryside surrounding the city".

In fact, this name was also what Mu Qianmei told him.

First knock out the easy ones, and then gradually encroach on the enemy's main forces, while fighting, continue to recruit troops, and when the ranks are getting bigger and bigger, then compete with their main forces.

After determining the strategic deployment, Liu Tingfeng and Bing Lan led an army of five million before setting off.

Bi Anning personally led the civil and military officials of the City Lord's Mansion to send Liu Tingfeng's army out of the city gate, wishing them an early triumphant return.

Liu Tingfeng and Bing Lan each rode a war horse, walking in the middle of the team, with a little distance from the troops in front and behind.

They were already on the way to the expedition, and Bing Lan couldn't help but say worriedly:

"We have an army of five million, and the enemy is also an army of five million, and it seems that we are evenly matched in numbers, but we have two million new soldiers, and our strength is worse after all, plus they still have an army of nearly seven million in Dong'an City that can support at any time, it is still very difficult for us to win."

Liu Tingfeng said in a low voice:

"We can't show such worries in front of the soldiers, the king has said many times, self-confidence is not necessarily success, but lack of confidence will definitely fail."

"At this time, as the main general, we must show full confidence, and we must not shake the morale of the army and affect morale."

"Actually, we should also have confidence, because we are not going to fight hard with them, what we have to do is to have an in-depth understanding of their deployment, and then choose to start from the weak places, and carry out various breakthroughs in their various garrisons, so as to eliminate their living forces little by little."

Bing Lan said puzzledly:

"If we think so, maybe they'll think so?"

"When our army of five million is divided into fifty small forces, our forces are also dispersed, and they can also encroach on our small forces, so that there will also be a situation of losing both sides?"

Liu Tingfeng nodded slightly and replied:

"You're right, when our troops are dispersed, they will become small units, and they can indeed use the same tactics."

"At this time, the accuracy and timeliness of the information are very important."

"They came from afar, they are not as familiar with the environment as our soldiers, and our information network can be said to be the most powerful in the entire Xiyu Country, the people of Suzaku Hall and Qingping Division are almost all over the entire Xiyu Country, and even in other countries there are our secret branches."

"This kind of guerrilla warfare, like the two sides are playing hide and seek, they can't see our reality, but we can do everything about their whereabouts, then our advantage is highlighted, as long as the command is right, we can almost minimize casualties."

Bing Lan immediately asked curiously:

"So where are we going to be the first breakthrough now?"

Liu Tingfeng replied almost without thinking:

"Wanlong Mountain, it is said that there is no one in a radius of 300 miles, and the mountain is full of smoke all year round, like ten thousand dragons flying, there is an excellent barrier, which is very suitable for guerrilla warfare."
