Lin Chengfei left the soldiers and came to the stone tower with one foot shallow and one foot deep. This was a temporary tower, which was very strong. There were several archers on the roof of the tower, and there were more than a dozen strong guards around the tower. These guards were not ordinary soldiers, but the strongest tiger brave guards under Shang Zhongli...

This is Shang Zhongli's command post.

Although Shang Zhongli was terrifying in martial arts, he was the chief general of the army after all. The black flag of Wei was the most terrifying dark yamen in the world. Even if Shang Zhongli didn't care, his subordinates had to consider his safety.

There are more than a dozen tiger brave men protecting it, which is an extremely powerful armor.

Lin Cheng flew into the tower, which had three floors in total. The first floor was filled with more than a dozen commander commanders, waiting for the orders sent by Shang Zhongli at any time and then sending them down.

These commanders were the best commanders in the army, with extremely fast walking speeds. Every command from Shang Zhongli was passed by them to the generals of each battalion to carry out.

A large number of orders will be passed down every day, and these commanders are trapped in the body. Fortunately, although the Wei army launched an attack on the first night of heavy snow, they were trapped in heavy snow these two days and failed to launch an attack, which also gave these commanders a temporary rest.

When Lin Chengfei came in, half of the commander captains were still leaning on the chair and dozing. The remaining commander captains were also dozing off and were about to sleep. When they saw Lin Chengfei coming in, they immediately cheered up and wanted to wake up their sleeping companions. Lin Chengfei waved his hand and whispered: "Let them take a break. But at least three of them should be awake, and they will be at their fate!"

After he gave the order, he went up to the second floor. The second floor was also very simple, with a topographic map hanging on the wall and a sand table in the middle.

When he went up to the third floor, he saw Shang Zhongli wearing military uniform, carrying his hands on his back, standing by the small window of the tower, looking out.

The tower is built at a relatively high point in Longshan. Standing on the third floor, looking from a distance, you can roughly see the situation at the foot of the mountain.

Lin Chengfei walked behind Shang Zhongli, looked at the heavy figure by the window, with a look of awe in his eyes, and did not speak immediately, as if he did not want to interrupt Shang Zhongli's calmness.

...

"What's the news from the north?" Shang Zhongli did not look back, but just asked calmly: "What is Wang Yanping doing now?"

"Ten days ago, the Northern Barbarians broke through Yanmen Pass and were hit by the ambush set up by General Wang, and suffered heavy losses. Although they are temporarily resting, they may launch a new attack soon." Lin Chengfei said slowly: "General Wang is now crossing the Ma River to speed up the construction of defense..."

Shang Zhongli sighed and said, "Although it won't play a big role, Yanping has also gained a lot of my essence in recent years. In a hurry, the fortifications built should also be able to block the strong impact of the Northern Barbarian Cavalry. If the Northern Barbarian Cavalry can be hindered, we can fight with them and lose less troops..."

"General Wang is under great pressure." Lin Chengfei said slowly: "The food and grass on their side are not as sufficient as ours. In addition to dealing with the Northern Barbarians, he also has to leave troops to garrison in Gaoyang County. There are 10,000 garrisons in the two counties where the descendants of the Northern Barbarians are located. "After pausing, General Wang Feige came to the military newspaper, but he wanted to ask the Holy General for advice!"

"What's the matter?"

"Now their army is short of food, but many Lu Manors distributed in Zhongshan and Yangping counties have stockpiled a lot of food and grass. General Wang sent people to discuss with them, and at first asked them to take out some food and grass to supplement military supplies, but was rejected by the owners of the Lu Manor. Later, General Wang had no choice but to send someone to go there again, willing to make a loan note and borrow food for emergency needs... But those people still refused, and claimed that each of the food was the queen's food and grass. If they wanted to transfer grain from the manor, no one could take away a piece of food unless the queen's order was given!"

When Shang Zhongli heard this, his face turned gloomy.

Lin Chengfei paused for a moment before continuing: "General Wang reported in the military newspaper that the Northeast Legion now has little food and grass left. Once the Northern Barbarians launch an attack again, they are afraid that they will be busy with fighting and will not even have the opportunity to raise military food. Therefore, while the Northern Barbarians are temporarily resting, they must replenish food and grass. Otherwise, once they fight with the Northern Barbarians, there is no supply of food and grass, the soldiers will not be able to fight at all...!"

"What is he going to do?" Shang Zhongli asked lightly.

"General Wang is preparing to send someone to force the siege." Lin Chengfei said: "At an extraordinary time, we have to do this. General Wang also said that if he does not die after the war, he will bear the responsibility. But he is worried that doing so will affect the saint general, so he asked the saint general in the military newspaper...!"

"Don't care about me, how could I be afraid of being implicated?" Shang Zhongli sneered: "The strategy of Yanping is for the country. Who dares to hold him accountable? Please reply quickly and let him take it aside."

"But...!" Lin Chengfei frowned slightly: "The Lu Manors in the two counties are as numerous as cows and have great power. If it is forced to conquer, what if those people start to make trouble?"

Shang Zhongli said frankly: "Who dares to make trouble? Take the lead in killing a group of people. I will bear all the consequences. Now in the national crisis, I want to see who dares to take the lead. Although the Lu Manor is crowded, it cannot compete with the regular army of the Northeast Legion. Just let Yanping speak out. If the people in the Lu Manor dare to drag my Daqing back, then I will ignore the Northern Barbarians and kill all the troublemakers first!"

His eyes were sharp, his murderous intent was strong, and he was extremely decisive.

"The best general understands." Lin Chengfei bowed and said, "The best general will go down and reply!"

"You tell Yanping that you must block the Northern Barbarians for at least two months. In these two months, if he dies in battle, his deputy general will be killed, and the deputy general will be killed in battle, and the side general will be led. In any case, within two months, even if there are only one soldier and one soldier, they will fight to the end." Shang Zhongli said slowly: "When there are any internal obstacles against the foreign enemy, you will be wiped out and you will not be afraid of killing!"

"Yes!" Lin Chengfei bowed and then frowned: "Holy General, let General Wang persist for two months, is it... the Holy General believes that the Wei army will withdraw in two months?"

He was really a little confused.

Although he knew that as long as the Wei State retreated, the Northern Barbarians would not dare to fight alone, they would definitely retreat, but why did Shang Zhongli conclude that the Wei army would retreat within two months?

Although it is in a stalemate stage now, the Qing army's condition is really bad.

The northern barbarians attacked, the Qing army was trapped on both sides, and the southern line defended Longshan. However, before the heavy snow fell, the Wei army's offensive was always very fierce, and two fortifications were destroyed. If there were no such snow, the third fortification might have been destroyed in less than ten days and half a month.

At that time, we will enter a real mountain decisive battle and begin to compete for control of Longshan.

Although the Wei army suffered heavy casualties, the main force of its cavalry was not hit at all. Moreover, the Wei army was well prepared for this battle, and the food and grass were continuously stored from the country to Nanyang Pass and then transported to the front line.

Even if the Wei people could not conquer Longshan for a while, their main force was not destroyed and they had enough food and supplies. If they continued to have such a stalemate, it would never be possible to retreat within two months.

Shang Zhongli was silent for a moment, but did not answer, but asked: "Yanping stationed 10,000 troops in Gaoyang County. Can the descendants of the Northern Barbarians there be any abnormal movement?"

Lin Chengfei immediately said: "When the Northern Barbarian Cavalry was still attacking Yanmen Pass, Gaoyang County began to make some abnormal movements. However, General Wang made a quick decision and asked the local county magistrates and local county magistrates to invite dozens of patriarchs of the descendants of the Northern Barbarians to Anguo City on the grounds of discussing affairs. Some of them wanted to hide, but were forced to take them over. Now the patriarchs have been under house arrest in Anguo City... Although the unlucky people of the Northern Barbarians are a little disturbed, they probably dare not act rashly. Although there are more than 100,000 descendants of the Northern Barbarians,... more than a hundred years have passed, they have made a living by farming and no longer have the ability of the Northern Barbarians to ride horses and shoot archers. They are just ordinary people. Moreover, the government has implemented a "knife hunting order" in these two counties. They have no weapons to rebel except for the sickles and hoes on the farmland...!"

During the previous dynasty, Qi State destroyed the Northern Barbarians, and the remnants of the Northern Barbarians fled to the extreme north, but a large number of old, weak, women and children were captured by the Qi army. Emperor Yong of Qi eventually placed these Northern Barbarian prisoners in two counties east of Gaoyang County, which was also an extremely desolate place at that time.

After all, it was the Northern Barbarians. Although they were taken over, the Qi court naturally took a series of preventive measures, and the purpose was to eventually educate these Northern Barbarian prisoners into people of the Central Atom.

In addition to sending a large number of literati to teach their children to learn the Central Plains discourse and the Central Plains etiquette, these Northern Barbarian prisoners were separated according to their ethnic groups, forming nearly thirty small villages.

There are many northern barbarians, and among the captives, there are all ethnic groups. There are two or three thousand people, but only dozens of people are few.

Those with few tribesmen, several tribes are combined together, and those with large tribes are mostly divided into several villages, and they are selected to be respected and appointed as patriarchs according to the customs of the Northern Barbarians.

The people of Qi knew very well that if they wanted to educate these rough people, they could only do it step by step and could not be anxious.

In addition to various ideological brainwashing, the Northern Barbarians were also restricted from the reproduction of their numbers to prevent them from growing too many. They also implemented the "Knife Hunting Order" to prevent them from being seldom done.

The so-called "knife hunting order" means prohibiting the Northern Barbarians from possessing knives, bows and arrows, and even prohibiting the Northern Barbarian villages from possessing blacksmith shops. When the farming period is to be cultivated, local governments will distribute farming tools such as sickles or hoes according to the number, which is very strict.

Over the past hundred years, the Northern Barbarians have had several small-scale cases, but they have been calmed down in an instant. In recent decades, the descendants of the Northern Barbarians have been extremely calm, working from sunrise to sunset, and have long been accustomed to this lifestyle of the Central Plains.

Although at this extraordinary moment, the military is also wary of the descendants of the Northern Barbarians taking the opportunity to make some changes, deep down, they are not very afraid. The descendants of the Northern Barbarians are just ordinary people. Although their physical constitution still retains the bloodline and strength of the Northern Barbarians, they do not have weapons in their hands, and have not been trained, so it is impossible to fight against the well-trained regular army.
