Time travel, sell Tang poems at the beginning

Two days later.

When news came that General Cheng Wuwei and his 150,000 Zhenbei Army were about to arrive at Mingyuan City, Lin Feng, He Lin and all Mingzhou officials were waiting outside the main south gate early.

At Shen Shi in the afternoon, the army began to appear in everyone's sight. After a while, General Cheng Wuwei and Minister of War Xue Yu rode up to the city gate. Lin Feng immediately led his team to greet them.

"Mr. Cheng! Master Xue!"

Cheng Wuwei immediately got off his horse, walked quickly to Lin Feng, reached out and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder.

"Hahaha……"

"Lin Feng, I feel relieved to see that you are fine."

Lin Feng quickly raised his hand and said, "Mr. Cheng is worried."

Xue Yu nodded to Lin Feng with a smile on his face, "Jiang Linghou, if you survive the catastrophe, you will be blessed later!"

"Then I have to thank Mr. Xue for your kind words."

At this moment, a group of military officers headed by He Lin and Zhao Chen raised their hands and saluted, "Greetings to General Zhenbei! Greetings to General Zhengbei!"

Cheng Wuwei waved his right hand, "Everyone, please excuse yourself."

"Thank you, General!"

Mingzhou Sima Baokui stepped forward and cupped his hands, "General, the barracks are ready. Please invite the army to enter the city."

Cheng Wuwei nodded, "Lead the way."

"Yes!"

Under the leadership of Cheng Wuwei, an army of 150,000 entered the city in a mighty manner.

Han Zhijie and Zhang Jian quickly came to Lin Feng, "Brother Lin, it's great to see you here today. Were you not injured when you broke through?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I'm fine. I made Brother Han and Brother Zhang worried."

Han Zhijie waved his hand quickly, "We don't have anything, it's just Mrs. Xu..."

Lin Feng's expression changed, "Brother Han, what happened to my mother-in-law?"

"Mrs. Xu fainted on the spot when she heard that Xia Yuan rebelled and that you and the princess were trapped in Yunchuan Pass. But Brother Lin, don't worry, Mrs. Xu will be fine after she wakes up."

Lin Feng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. I ask my two brothers to keep my mother-in-law's affairs a secret for me and never mention it in front of the princess."

Han Zhijie and Zhang Jian nodded in unison, "Brother Lin, don't worry, we know what's appropriate."

"Hahaha! It's so gratifying that Brother Lin has returned safely!"

Cheng Tianhu's voice came, and Lin Feng looked up and saw Cheng Tianhu, Xue Zhuo, Xiao Yang, Gao Rui, and Zhao Xinzheng walking towards him with smiles on their faces.

"Brother Lin, get ready for immortal drunkenness. The brothers will go to the palace to find you tonight."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "No problem, the Immortal is drunk enough."

The five of them chatted with Lin Feng for a few words, and then hurried into the city with their imperial guards.

That night, Cheng Wuwei held a highest-level military meeting at the Mingyuan City garrison camp. Lin Feng hurried to the military camp meeting hall after receiving the invitation.

Lin Feng went in and saw that Cheng Wuwei was sitting in the first place, Xue Yu and He Lin were prominently among them, and in addition there were five middle-aged generals wearing armor.

Seeing Lin Feng, Cheng Wuwei quickly waved to him, and Lin Feng walked over quickly, "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Xue, I'm very sorry that Lin Feng was late."

Cheng Wuwei smiled, "It's not too late, it's not too late. You came at the right time."

At this moment, the six armored generals, including He Lin, immediately stood up, clasped their hands in a salute and said in unison, "I have seen the Marquis of Jiangling!"

Lin Feng quickly returned the greeting, "Lin Feng has met all the generals."

Cheng Wuwei smiled, "Lin Feng, I would like to introduce to you, this is General Meng Ying of the Royal Forest Army, this is General Du Chao of Longwuwei, this is General Qiu Li of Yingyangwei, and this is General Qiu Li of Yingyangwei. Jinwu Guard General Xu Chao, this is the leading guard general Sun Ding."

Every time Cheng Wuwei introduced someone, Lin Feng nodded politely, indicating that they knew each other.

"So far, Beiyuan and Xiayuan rebels have occupied all sixteen states on our northern border. Let us tell you how we should act next!"

As soon as Cheng Wuwei finished speaking, General Meng Ying of the Yulin Army immediately said: "General, I think we should attack Tangzhou first and then Yezhou, and then go straight to Shazhou, the rebel's home base, and wipe out the main force of Xia Yuan's rebels in one fell swoop. Then join forces with the state army led by General Ping Beishang to recover the eight northwest states captured by the Bei Yuan army."

"What General Meng said is true, and I agree with it."

Longwuwei General Du Chao was the first to stand up to support Meng Ying, and then He Lin, Qiu Li, Xu Chao, and Sun Ding all nodded in agreement with Meng Ying's battle plan.

Morale is the most important thing when fighting on the battlefield. Starting with easy things and then difficult ones can boost morale. Xia Yuan's rebels are weak, so of course they have to pick the weak ones first.

Cheng Wuwei was the first to stand up and said loudly: "Okay! The battle plan has been decided. We will send troops to Tang'an City early tomorrow morning."

The seven generals sitting there all stood up and saluted with fists in their hands, "Yes, General!"

Cheng Wuwei looked at Lin Feng who was sitting on the chair, and slowly said: "Jiang Linghou is proficient in the art of war. Can you tell me your opinion on this battle plan?"

Lin Feng has been thinking about how to suppress the rebellion and regain lost territory these days, but he still hasn't come up with a perfect strategy so far.

War in the era of cold weapons often involved killing one thousand enemies and damaging eight hundred. Especially when attacking a city, the attacking party's battle losses were often several times that of the defending party.

The most perfect strategy that Lin Feng could think of was to first use cannons to bombard the enemy defenders to disrupt the order in the city, then use cannons to open the city gates while the enemy was distracted, and finally send cavalry into the city to fight directly with the enemy.

But now cannons have not been produced yet. Bombs made of gunpowder alone cannot attack the enemy on the city wall, let alone disrupt the order in the city. Even if the city gate is blown open with bombs, as long as the enemy can continue If more troops are added to guard the city gate, the attacking party will also pay a heavy price.

Furthermore, Tang Tianxing was already persuading Tang Jing to become Lin Feng's internal aide and perform meritorious service. After learning that Lin Feng and Xiaoqiwei had successfully broken through and returned to Mingyuan City, Tang Jing's position had been shaken. At this critical moment, , Lin Feng certainly did not want Cheng Wuwei to attack Tang'an City.

"General, according to the latest information obtained by the Jingjian Division, Xia Yuan has concentrated all the main rebel forces in the three states of Gaotang and Jun. Xia Yuan is personally in charge of Tangzhou. Currently, the number of rebels in Tang'an City has reached 50,000. There is also a main force of Yilin Guards in the city who are good at defending the city, so if we attack the city rashly, we will probably suffer heavy losses!"

"Lin Feng, there is no chance of death in this war. Since Xia Yuan has concentrated the main force of the rebels in Tang'an City, we can completely eliminate them in one go."

"What the general said is true. Your Majesty sent us here to suppress the rebellion. Now that we know that the enemy is in Tang'an City, why should we not fight?" Longwuwei General Du Chao said.

"Marquis Jiangling, don't worry. We have brought enough gunpowder from Lijiazhuang for this expedition. The gates of Tang'an City cannot stop us at all." Xue Yu said.

"Marquis Jiangling, we have witnessed the power of gunpowder with our own eyes before we set off for the expedition. We are confident that we can capture Tang'an City in one day."

The huge power of gunpowder gave the generals great confidence. As soon as Meng Ying, the general of the Royal Forest Army, said this, all the generals echoed his words.
