"I'll tell you the truth: If the great cannibal attacks at all costs, Jieshan City cannot defend it."

"Can't you defend Jieshan City?" Li Bai was stunned when he heard Governor Niu's words.

But before he said that, Governor Niu said again: "However, even if the Great Cannibal attacks at all costs, it will take a month to capture the city. However, the Great Cannibal cannot place more than 100,000 troops in Jieshan City for more than a month."

"Governor Niu is the same as I think." Li Bai sighed relieved after hearing the second half of the words, and said with a smile: "The Great Cannibal cannot place more than 100,000 troops in Jieshan City for more than a month. Winter is about to begin, and the Great Cannibal will definitely want to enter Yuluzhou before it snows."

"I estimate that at most twenty days, at most twenty days, the great cannibals will mobilize most of the troops to attack Yuluzhou east; at most ten thousand people are left nearby to watch our Jieshan City."

"And on the twenty days, even if you attack with all your might, the cannibals would not be able to capture the city."

"Haha, in this way, we still have the same views as heroes." Governor Niu smiled. But it's really hard to say how much this smile is.

Li Bai noticed his implicit contempt, but did not respond, but said, "Since that is the case, will the governor explain this matter clearly to the generals?"

"I saw that most generals thought that Jieshan City would fall sooner or later, so I was very nervous. Some people might have other plans. By explaining the matter clearly to the generals, they can stabilize the generals' thoughts and dispel their thoughts; when they go to the city to cheer the soldiers tomorrow, they will not show any fear."

"As for the soldiers, there is no need to explain things clearly to them. Ordinary people are so ignorant. After hearing the details, they may be even more scared. Just tell them that Jieshan City will definitely be able to be kept."

"In addition, we should tell them every day that if the great cannibals break the city, they will definitely become slaves, and life is worse than death. However, there is a saying that someone who was once captured appears, so there is no need to specifically order the instructor Dayi to emphasize. The instructor Dayi is only used to maintain military discipline and not to make the generals greedy for the merits of his subordinates."

"You're right!" When Li Bai spoke, Governor Niu still looked down upon him at first, but he slowly calmed down, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. After he finished speaking, he immediately praised him.

"The governor praised it." Li Bai hurriedly said.

"No, no, no, what you said is right! I immediately ordered all the generals to be called and tell them why Jieshan City cannot be lost."

"Summon instructor Dayi again and tell them the primary responsibilities they shoulder."

"I asked you to be the instructor of the General Dayi in the past, which was the most right thing I did in Jieshan City." Governor Niu praised him in the end.

Li Bai refused again. But this time, Governor Niu did not respond to him, but summoned the guards and ordered him: "Hurry up, call the generals again, and let them all come in for a quarter of an hour!"

"Yes." The guard agreed and turned around and sent the order.

"I'm going to leave, too." Li Bai also said.

"What are you going to do?" asked Governor Niu.

"I will summon all the instructors of Dayi according to the command of the governor and tell them the most important errands they shoulder." Li Bai replied.

"That's what you mean." Governor Niu thought he wanted to confirm the position of all the instructors of Dayi, not just a instructor of Dayi of a few levels. He showed a stern expression and said, "Then you go."

'How could I just capture the instructor of Dayi? I will capture the entire army by capturing the instructor of Dayi in the future.' Li Bai said in his heart when he saw Governor Niu's expression. But of course he would not say this sentence. He agreed to retreat and summon all the instructors of Dayi instructors.

As soon as the next day was dawn, Governor Niu woke up all the generals who were not commanding on the city and instructor Dayi, and took everyone to the city to inspect before breakfast.

At this time, the enemy had not yet begun to attack the city, and the Tang army was also handing over. The soldiers on duty last night came down to the city, and today the soldiers who were defending the city were lined up during the day.

When Governor Niu waited for the handover, he walked over to talk to the energetic soldiers, telling them that although there were many soldiers in large numbers, Jieshan City was well prepared and would be able to defend it; if the new soldiers were trained in the middle of next year, Li Gong, the King of Guardians, would lead troops to lift the siege of Jieshan City; no one who made contributions would be stingy with rewards, and so on.

The soldiers didn't think too much. They just observed their words and expressions. Seeing that Governor Niu and other generals looked very confident, they didn't seem to be pretending, and what they said made sense. They suddenly felt that the city could be kept and became full of confidence.

Governor Niu walked on one city wall and finally came to the east city wall. Because the Great Cannibal had already left the camp and lined up, it seemed that he was about to start attacking the city. Governor Niu didn't say much here, but just said: "Soldiers, Jieshan City has sufficient food and grass and a strong city. The Great Cannibal would never take our Jieshan City!"

"But the soldiers cannot slack off! Only our soldiers are guarding the city seriously, and the great cannibals cannot seize the city; if everyone is lazy, the city will definitely not be able to defend!"

"To prevent mistakes, from today on everyone, everyone is prohibited from drinking. Even if they are on a rest, they do not have to go to the city wall to drink. Violators are responsible for thirty military sticks! They will be punished with aggravated punishment for generals. Not only will they be beaten by military sticks, but they will also be removed from all official positions and sent to the army to be a soldier! I will say again, no wine is allowed!"

"Yes." Everyone agreed.

"But this is just a temporary measure for the Great Cannibal to attack the city. When the Great Cannibal retreats, I hold a grand banquet in the city. I will never care about how much wine everyone wants to eat! All the money for the wine is also produced by the treasury." Governor Niu shouted again.

"Thank you, Governor!" Everyone agreed with a happy expression.

"Okay." Governor Niu nodded and glanced outside the city. Seeing that the catapults were pushed to the position where they could launch the stones to the top of the city, he understood that he had to go down to the city, and said a few words to the soldiers and led people into the corridor.

"Today's encouragement is good." As he walked in the corridor, Governor Niu said: "It can always make the morale of the soldiers high for a few days."

"And the Great Cannibal will not attack with all his strength the first day, at least from tomorrow; the soldiers on the city wall will increase their confidence when they see that they can easily repel the Great Cannibal attack."

"It's all up to the governor's wisdom." Someone complimented.

"Hey!" Governor Niu waved his hand and said, "It's not just me." He pointed at Li Bai and said, "Brother Taibai is also very powerful. Today, it was Taibai who came up with the inspiration of the soldiers on the top of the city."

"Brother Taibai is so smart!"

"Instructor Li is really amazing!"

"This is the first time Instructor Li has come into contact with the army. He can come up with such a strategy. In the future, he will definitely be a famous general and can be on par with Governor Niu!"

"..." Everyone praised Li Bai.

This is the first time that Li Bai has heard so many generals flatter him. Even though he knows that these flatteries are worthless, he is still very happy. He can't help but smile and speaks humbly, so that the generals can praise him again.

But at this moment, a sharp sound suddenly sounded in the sky. Everyone knew that it was the sound of stones passing through the sky. They didn't care at first, but they kept complimenting Li Bai.

But after only a moment, they suddenly felt a sharp sound getting closer and closer to them. Everyone hurriedly looked up and saw a stone flying towards them and about to fall into the corridor.
