"The situation in the court is complicated, and all parties are fighting. Why did Prince Su go out of Huishui and retreat back to Guiyang? The profound meaning is intriguing. In August, Zhangzhou's defeat had already put Prince Yu and Prince Rui under great pressure. The two princes bet on the three princes. If they retreat without fighting, the consequences can be imagined - this is the second one that cannot be withdrawn."

"Zhu Youlang's Yongli court has become a major concern for the past year. If he is given a certain amount of room for development, it may become more uncontrollable. Now he has finally lured him here. It seems that he has a firearm like a grenade, which is extremely powerful and has won a small victory. In fact, he has entered a dead land with few soldiers and few grains, and the difficulty of supply is the best opportunity to eliminate him. This opportunity is not easy, and it is unlikely to have such an opportunity in the future - these three are irreversible, Jin Mou, please think twice."

After Jin Guang finished speaking, he bowed and stepped aside.

Monk Geng Zhongming looked at each other happily, and Geng Zhongming said, "Master Jin is really a few wise men in the world. His insights are really as clear as seeing the fire, and he understands it very well."

Shang Kexi was quite contented. He glared at his son and cursed, "Do you hear it, you're a genius? This is a great talent. Good students learn a little. If you encounter problems, you will be honest and not calm at all. You will never be able to become a great person."

"Yes, my son knows that he is wrong. I'll go down and arrange it now." Shang Zhixin bowed his head and was scolded. He seemed to have known his mistake, but in fact he cursed Jin Guang in his heart: "What's there? These three are obvious, who can't see them? Only my father treats you as a treasure. You are so stinky that you show off and make me scold you again. Wait, I will kill you one day!"

"What are you going to do? Mr. Jin hasn't told you about the strategy to defeat the enemy yet. What are you going to do? Stay honestly!" Shang Kexi cursed.

"Father, Mr. Jin... has explained it clearly just now, but in fact it is just one word: sleepy." Shang Zhixin replied.

"Is it true that you are trapped? How can you cooperate with the entire army? These must be explained clearly before you can act in a unified manner! You are stubborn and arbitrary. I really don't know how you won one by one?" Shang Kexi scolded again.

"Yuan Ji, don't be cursed, let Defu talk about his thoughts." Geng Zhongming quickly stopped Shang Kexi.

"Say, what are you going to do?" Shang Kexi said angrily.

"First, the army stationed in Qilin Ridge, completely blocking Zhu Youlang's escape route from east. If the food and grenades are not replenished, the Ming army will soon be exhausted; Second, the court has issued a report, which has detailed explanations on how to deal with grenades. Therefore, first, we must abandon the horse and fight in infantry, and form a scattered formation, so the harm caused by the grenades will be much smaller. Third, Qilin Ridge is connected to Wushi Mountain, and a small group of troops can be sent to reconnaise whether there is a phased path. If there is, we can send troops to launch an attack from behind Wushi Mountain. Fourth, although grenades are powerful, they are good at defending but short of attacking, so we can lure Zhu Youlang to attack. I will station heavy troops on the mountain, condescending, use the strength of bows and arrows to kill and injure the Ming army in large quantities. I thought of these in a hurry, and ask my uncle and father for advice." Shang Zhixin said confidently.

"Well, Defu is very smart, and this is very appropriate. In addition, I have a news that the transportation between Youde and Youde is inconvenient. The two armies must not only fight on their own, but also fight in concert. Therefore, we quickly report our measures to Youde. The two armies have to go far away across Daliling and Wushishan." Geng Zhongming added.

"There is another thing: since we have to be besieged, we have to make long-term plans, and our food supply must be smooth. Let me write to Song Guofu, so that he must ensure the supply of food and grass in the army." Shang Kexi said.

Song Guofu was Geng Zhongming's general, Ren Zhenghongqi Jia Laezhen, now staying in the whole province, leading 2,000 troops to take charge of the army's food and grass and 20,000 surrendered soldiers of the Ming army.

"No, the country's auxiliary soldiers are only 2,000, and the troops are empty. He has enough to take care of the food and the surrendered soldiers. If he is divided into the troops and escort the food and grass, he may not be able to match his strength." Geng Zhongming said.

"Uncle, the 20,000 surrendered soldiers are also spending more food to keep. Let's kill them." Shang Zhixin said.

"No, little prince, now our court is about to win over the people's hearts. How can we commit suicide without authorization? Killing surrender is ominous, there will be disaster." Jin Guang refused to miss any opportunity to show Shang Zhixin's stupidity. When he heard that he offered this vicious plan, he quickly stood up and stopped him with righteousness.

"Mr. Jin, how can you not know that the surrendered Mr. Buxiang is? However, now that our army is deeply in Guangxi, Hunan, and it is very difficult to replenish supplies. The two places are poor, so it is impossible to get food on the spot. Keep 20,000 surrendered soldiers, one is to grab a lot of food from us, and the other is that if someone makes trouble, a little spark can burn it. Isn't Song Guofu's entire army in danger? The reputation of killing and surrendering is not good, so can you create a reason? Why should you be so stubborn and not know how to adapt?" Shang Zhixin rolled his eyes and fought back.

"Little Prince, there is no airtight wall in the world. No matter how secret it is, it will be leaked. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to do so. Moreover, our army is not yet at that time. According to Jin Mou's opinion, there is no need for food supply in the whole province. As long as you persist for more than twenty days, you will definitely defeat Zhu Youlang at most for one month." Jin Guang said confidently.

"Mr. Jin's words are reasonable. Even if Zhu Youlang prepares more food, it will not last more than ten days. When the food is exhausted, he will definitely take the risk to attack. Humph, when he attacks, it is the day when he dies! Our army has five days of food, which saves food. There is also these war horses that can slaughter food. It is not a big problem to last for a month. There is no need to transport grain from all over the province for a long time." Shang Kexi said.

"The war horses are not available for the time being. They are all tied up and placed on the east side of the army to avoid being used by the Ming army. Also, it is necessary to make it clear to the soldiers that the grenades are not scary. They are blown up in a fan shape and cannot be blown up as long as they lie down. Do not be afraid. In addition, dig deep trenches on the road surface, and soldiers can hide in the trenches; prepare arrows, rolling stones, and logs on both sides of the road, and beware of them at all times to prevent the Ming army from suddenly attacking." Geng Zhongming continued.

"That's it." Shang Kexi nodded and agreed to Geng Zhongming's arrangement.

...

The battle situation was developing according to Zhu Youlang's expectations. When Zhu Youlang heard that Geng Zhongming had set up camps in Qilin Ridge and set up tight defenses, he couldn't help but be happy.

"Your Majesty, are you considering defeating Geng and Shang two thieves now? If Kong Youde surrounds him and is attacked on both sides, it will be difficult to fight." Lu Daqi suggested.

"Haha, don't worry, I said that I have millions of soldiers in my heart. Don't believe it, and don't be upset in my heart. In less than ten days, you will definitely be able to see a big victory." Zhu Youlang sold it to the end.
