It was a pleasant conversation, at least so far.

Qiu Xingjian and Zhang Rufeng have always been very respectful, and in the process of fighting with Qiao Luo, many of his subordinates died but their faces did not change, and it was a matter of course to help Li Wuchang make a move.

Li Wuchang was naturally very polite, and he was also very frank, and clearly mentioned three very important things.

First, Fangling County belongs to the French Army, and the forces on the side are not allowed to attack Fangling's idea, nor can they make trouble, including Zhang Rufeng and Qiu Xingjian's bosses. At this point, Li Wuchang's attitude is very tough.

Second, the chaos in the southwest of Fangling must be cleared up first, which is the top priority of the French commander's army.

Third, the next plan is to suffocate Wuqinglun in the southeast or enter Saojiasong in the west, as for which one is implemented first, it depends on the specific situation.

This sentence "depending on the specific situation" is for Zhang Rufeng and Qiu Xingjian, which means "look at your performance", if there is enough sincerity, the French Shuaijun does not mind going west to harass Jia Song first.

For Zhao Yuanji and Huang Mao, they can't control the confrontation between the three counties of Badong, Yiling, and Fangling, let alone care, what they care about is Jia Song, and they don't want to overthrow Jia Song in one fell swoop, as long as they can defeat some of Jia Song's troops and reduce their pressure.

So when Jiang Minglun finished speaking, Qiu Zhang and the others immediately said that they could help the French Shuai Army in cleaning up the chaos in the southwest.

After getting Zhang Rufeng and Qiu Xingjian's chest assurance, Li Wuchang laughed and said with a faint smile: "With the help of the two of you, how can you have a little more confidence in pacifying the chaos in the southwest...... Two, I salute you!"

Zhang Qiu and the others raised their glasses and drank bitterly.

Li Wuchang looked at Qiu Xingjian and said, "Although I don't know much about the geography of Liangzhou, I have also heard that Tongchuan County has a large area and a good location, but I don't know if it's fun there......

Qiu Xingjian secretly said that he was finally going to talk about the things they were interested in, of course he knew that Li Wuchang was not the so-called "ignorance of geography", but was asking about the specific situation in Tongchuan, and first said with great joy: "If the law marshal can go to Tongchuan, he will definitely be able to have a good time!"

Then he carefully said: "Tongchuan is indeed quite large, the terrain is also quite complicated, most of the places are similar to the southwest of Feng Yi, the west of Hongnong, and the north of Fangling, with many woodlands and mountains, suitable for guerrilla and ambush warfare, which is also one of the main reasons why Commander Xu and our Commander Zhao wander in Tongchuan."

As for the allocation of troops......

Tongchuan's positioning is not a strategic town, the number of troops under Taishou's command is not much, only thousands, and like most counties, it is not too regular an army, which is used to maintain law and order in peacetime, which is basically negligible at this time.

The big head is the Liangzhou army led by Jia Song, which has more than 62,000.

The Xiongnu invaded, except for Yongzhou, Liangzhou sent the most troops, and has not returned yet. Most of the troops under Jia Song are made up of Hanchuan, Qinghua, Wencheng, and Shu County, and most of them are recruits, but there is no shortage of old fritters on the battlefield, and there are not many fierce generals and strategists, but they are enough.

Our Zhao commander is in his early 50,000s, both old and new, and there is no full-scale confrontation with Jia Song at present, so the losses are not large, and the combat power is intact.

Xu Minglong, who was dealing with Jia Song head-on, had more than 58,000 people, but he had lost more than 15,000 and received a few thousand more these days, so now there are still more than 50,000, which is not weak.

From the point of view of the situation......"

Li Wuchang raised his hand to interrupt: "If I remember correctly, it has only been more than a month since Commander Xu and Jia Song fought head-on, and it was mostly a chase battle, so in just such a little time, it lost 15,000 ?...... Hey, I don't mean anything else, I just feel that Jia Song's house is really not simple!"

Having said that, Qiu Zhang and the others could still hear Li Wuchang's unoptimism about Xu Minglong.

Lost more than 15,000 in a pursuit battle?

The combat power of Xu Minglong's men is worrying!

Qiu Xingjian coughed lightly and explained: "Jia Song is famous for his civil and military skills, naturally he is not a simple character, but Commander Xu is not easy to match, although he has suffered a lot of losses, but he has also fought a few beautiful battles, making Jia Song lose thousands.

On the surface, although we do not have an advantage, but if we analyze it carefully, it is a situation of three or seven open, at least two or eight open, and we are not completely without opportunities.

First, the imperial court did not have enough troops to launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression against us, and as I said earlier, Tongchuan has a large territory and complex terrain, which is suitable for guerrilla warfare. In addition, in addition to frontal combat, Jia Song also had to divide his troops to protect several important towns in Tongchuan to prevent fires.

Second, Commander Huang and Commander Dou developed their strength in the areas of Hanchuan, Qinghua, and Wencheng, which had a great deterrent effect, and it was difficult for Jia Song to draw more troops from the rear to support the intractable situation in Tongchuan.

According to this situation, if the marshal can take the opportunity to send troops to Tongchuan and stab Jia Song in the back, then the ending is likely to be reversed. We have at least six or four opens, or even seven or three opens. ”

Li Wuchang nodded slightly, did not speak, and fell into deep thought.

Jiang Minglun said at the right time: "The current situation is that Jia Song is chasing after Commander Xu, and you Commander Zhao is trying to drag Jia Song's hind legs, right?"

Qiu Xingjian nodded, "That's true, but our Commander Zhao will make a move soon, even if he doesn't make a move, Jia Song will take the initiative to come to the door, Hanchuan and Qinghua can't go back for the time being, and Tongchuan is likely to be the place for the decisive battle!"

Mo Tong snapped his fingers and muttered: "More than 62,000, early 50,000, early 50,000, this adds up to nearly 200,000, and the manpower at the junction of the upper three counties is almost top, it is indeed a big scene......

Qiu Xingjian said with a smile: "Brother Mo should be used to seeing big scenes, right? I heard that Xiang Cong, Zhu Changlong, and the people of the imperial court under Feng Yicheng also exceeded 100,000!"

Mo Tong smiled bitterly, "Hey, Feng Yi's past doesn't need to be mentioned anymore...... It's all tears when I think about it!"

After Li Wuchang finished pondering, he asked, "Brother Qiu, Brother Zhang, do you two know the strength of my Fangling City?"

Zhang Rufeng said: "For the troops under the command of the marshal, Zhang knows a little about it!"

Then he said in detail: "When Zhang Zhihai was defeated, there were more than 20,000, and these days there have been a lot of recruits, there should be more than 30,000, right? Especially the personal guard corps led by Brother Jiang, although there are less than two thousand, but all of them are ruthless characters with one as ten!"

In just one sentence, I know that Zhang Rufeng has done a very detailed study of the strength of Fangling City.

Jiang Minglun took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang can afford our handsome army!"

Zhang Rufeng said seriously: "This is by no means a beautiful word, but a conclusion drawn through careful analysis of the battle report!"

"Now that you know the foundation of the French Army, it's easy!"

Li Wuchang nodded and said, "Even if we go west to Tongchuan, my French army will not send many people, but you can rest assured that they are definitely elite soldiers." In addition, we are only a support role, and we can do sneak attacks and pull back legs, as for the front, we still need to discuss with Commander Zhao and Commander Xu. ”

Qiu Xingjian was overjoyed and said, "The marshal agreed?"

Li Wuchang said: "The southwest is the first, if we march into Tongchuan, we have to go to the southwest, if we go in the direction of Xicheng, I'm afraid I can't help but take Xicheng, you should understand the situation, don't you want me to say it clearly?"
