Jiang Feng leaned peacefully on Hu's chair and smiled faintly: "Why, do you know you are looking for?"

"Monkey King, I said so decisively just now, and I must be confident, but Qilang and I still have some differences in their views." Wang Miao paused, "I still feel that I am not sure enough. Even if I can win Qingzhou, we will probably pay a lot of money, which will be even beyond our imagination."

"Are you worried about Qingzhou (Yidu)?" Jiang Feng was silent for a moment.

"Qingzhou City is the best city in Pinglu Army. The only one that can be compared with Qingzhou is probably Qizhou City. Both cities have high and thick walls, and there are a large population in the city. In an emergency, thousands of civilians can be mobilized to help defend the city. Therefore, Zhu Mao's little force to attack Qizhou is at most restrained. Perhaps Zizhou will go to the first army to reinforce, but it is impossible to mobilize Qingzhou's troops." Wang Miao introduced.

Jiang Feng's face became a little serious. He realized that Qingzhou was not easy to fight, and he made psychological preparations to pay some price, but he did not expect that the situation introduced by Wang Miao was indeed so serious.

"The current troops stationed in Qingzhou City are about 15,000. In addition to the three armies of Wang Shouzhong's army, there are also three armies of Pinglu Left Army, all of which are elite. Well, one of them is a cavalry." Wang Miao ignored Jiang Feng's face change and said to himself: "My personal judgment is that if we cannot control the Qingzhou army below 10,000 people, we cannot defeat Qingzhou City, or even if we can capture it, the losses will reach a level that we cannot bear."

Jiang Feng said silently, Wang Miao's concern was not without cause. With the high and thick walls of Qingzhou and the defensive system that Wang had operated for many years, this concern was even slightly lower.

In "The Art of War", the ten encirclements of five of them may not be generalized, but if you do not have more than three times the strength of the troops, it is indeed very difficult to attack a strong city unless you have special means.

In Jiang Feng's view, if he wanted to conquer Qingzhou City, he would be more sure to attack five times the force under the premise of eliminating the interference of other factors. However, it would be difficult for the Huaiyou (Wunning) army to free up 50,000 troops now. Even if he implemented strategic deception on the front lines of Yishui, Linyi and Xiapi, he used the garrison troops and civilians to delay the Pinglu army in Mizhou and Haizhou, but he still needed several troops to cover it.

At present, only the ten armies of the Huai You Zuo Army, the Huai You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You, and the Wuning Right Army have only completed the formation of six armies. In addition to the Ya Army and the six cavalry that have been formed, in addition to the regular army that can be devoted to land wars, Jiang Feng has 35 armies in his hands, a total of 87,500 troops.

However, the right and right troops in Huainan were stationed in Huainan prefectures, and the left troops in Wuning had just captured Yunzhou. Although six armies did not need to be stationed in Yunzhou, at least two armies needed to be stationed. At the same time, Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Sizhou also needed to be stationed. In addition, the three armies that needed to be used to strategically defraud the Pinglu army of Haimi and the two prefectures could be freed up to attack Qingzhou. At most, there were no more than 18 armies and 45,000 troops.

This is still in the case of any other unexpected and possible ideal situation, but in fact it is impossible. It is impossible not to leave one or two troops as reserves for the unexpected factors.

Therefore, the troops that can truly invest in the attack on Qingzhou are about fifteen to sixteen troops, which is about 40,000.

If the cavalry of the two armies were eliminated from it, there were actually only 35,000 people who could actually launch a siege.

Jiang Feng likes to calculate based on data. Although this is not completely accurate, it can maximize intuitive analysis, which is relatively more scientific and reasonable.

In this case, the defenders in Qingzhou City must find ways to control them below 10,000 people, but this is probably Wang Shouzhong's limit. Wang Shouzhong is unlikely to reduce the troops in Qingzhou City to below 10,000 people, and 10,000 people is a node.

"Zhu Mao cannot mobilize the Qingzhou garrison, and the East Pirates cannot mobilize the Qingzhou garrison. Their roles are at most one to restrain the troops of Qizhou and Zibo and the other to restrain the town troops of Denglai Prefectures. Then we have no chance of winning this battle unless we can find other ways to get the Qingzhou garrison to take it away." Jiang Feng nodded.

Wang Miao is bold and meticulous, and is particularly particular in tactical analysis and arrangement. He is a very typical staff talent, and Jiang Feng particularly appreciates it.

"Well, there are also many 5,000 defenders, and there will be endless variables." Wang Miao nodded.

"So you thought of Cheng De Army?" Jiang Feng laughed.

"Qilang is too confident. Of course, he may be more confident in the equipment in the Daozang Institute, but I would rather be timid at this time." Wang Miao smiled, "My idea is to let the Chengde army attack Zouping, Gaoyuan, and Bochang frontlines, attract the Qingzhou defenders out, and then hold them tightly."

The Dizhou of Chengde Army was close to the northern counties of Zibo and Qing Prefectures. If the Chengde Army could be attracted to the south, it would be the best.

But the situation in Chengde's army is very bad now. In addition to being able to control the personal troops in his hands, Zhang Chujin is in a state of letting go of other troops, which is equivalent to giving other troops a piece of territory and eating on their own.

However, the severe drought in recent years has made the situation in the states under the control of the German army so bad that it cannot be worse. This has led to the disaster victims of Hebei Province continuing to move south, even Pinglu and Huaiyou are not disturbed. Of course, this has the opportunity to Huaiyou.

"Are you sure?" Jiang Feng believed in Wang Miao's ability.

"It's hard to say, in fact, I have sent letters with many commanders of the Chengde Army. Some of them are still in contact with each other, and some do not reply. However, the army, which is not the direct line of Zhang Chujin, has a huge gap. One army has a large gap of 1,670 people, and at least 1,1200 people. Basically, the gap is more than one third, and some are not even half of it."

Wang Miao obviously had contact with him and mastered some specific things.

"In the early stage, considering that the Resurgence Army and the Taining Army were being reorganized, there was less contact with them. However, judging from the current situation, the situation in the German army should be worse. So I feel that I am still confident, but I don't have much confidence in what kind of results it can be. However, I have thought about it. It is not necessary for them to come and invest. As long as they are willing to send troops to help us share the burden and attract Qingzhou defenders, we can take other ways to cooperate."

"Oh?" Jiang Fengxin understood it, "Exchange of interests? Well, money or food?"

"Well, it's all right. It's probably more practical for them, but money is indispensable. Grain and grass are used to raise soldiers, while money is stuffed with their own pockets." Wang Miao's eyes became a little deeper, "If they can cooperate with us to attack Qingzhou City, that's best, but I think these guys won't do such things that seem to be at a disadvantage."

"Try it. No matter which method, it is OK. No matter what conditions, it is OK. Jiulang, you can handle this matter, food, grass, gold, silver, pearls and jade. As long as we can get it out of Huaiyou, it is OK. If it is not enough, I will go to the Sogdians to ask for a loan!"

***************************************************

Once a decision is made, the entire huge Huaiyou (Wunning) military system slowly rotates like a giant wheel.

Wang Miao quickly took people to Dizhou and Dezhou.

Although the Chengde Army is now like a ruined house, there are still three thousand nails in the broken ships. There are three Chengde Army stationed in Dizhou, and there are three Chengde Army in the nearby Dezhou, with a total of nearly 10,000 troops. If it can be won halfway, it will have a huge impact on Zibo and northern Qingzhou.

Yu Mingzhen sent people to the East Pirates. Although the military strength of the army is not strong, in order to prevent mistakes at critical moments, the East Pirates' power must be used and can always play some role.

But in the end it will fall on yourself.

The entire staff was mobilized, and Wang Miao was not there, and Zhang Ting, who temporarily took back the staff as the second seat, began to take responsibility.

"Mr. Zhang, the Fifth Army of Huai Right and Right Army has arrived in Xiapi, the Sixth Army has arrived in Suyu, and the Fifth Army has been marching from Xiapi to Yishui, with two thousand men accompanying Master,..."

Yang Heng's eyes moved on the sand table. While looking at Zhang Ting's report outside the window with his hands on the big case next to the sand table, he handed the information in his hand to another person.

As soon as Zhang Ting was in place, he raised strong doubts about Jiang Feng, Cui Shang and Wang Miao's plan. In his opinion, either he would not attack Qingzhou or he would completely take Qingzhou with a thunderous momentum, and there would be no delay.

To achieve this goal, if the Qingzhou garrison cannot be reduced to less than 10,000 and this war cannot be started, even if the Qingzhou garrison is reduced to 10,000, without 45,000, it will not be successful. He even asked to prepare a reserve force of at least 10,000 troops, which means that a total force of 55,000 people is required, which greatly exceeded the initial expectations.

His opinion also caused some controversy, especially Yang Kan's criticism, but Zhang Ting was stubborn and argued with reason. He finally convinced Jiang Feng and Cui Shang to agree to transfer two armies from the Huaiyouyou Army stationed in Huainan to the north, and at the same time, he drew out the Xuejun and the three armies originally planned to be stationed in Xuzhou and Yanzhou for the battle of Qingzhou. Instead, another army was drawn from Yunzhou to Xuzhou, and replaced by the Wuning Navy, which was being trained in Yunzhou, to be responsible for the defense of Yunzhou.

After returning from Zhuang Yongsheng's army, Yang Heng entered the General Staff of the Privy Council. In the battle of Xuzhou, he received high praise. Zhuang Yongsheng and Lu Qiming both had a high praise for him. Originally, Yang Heng himself wanted to work in the grassroots army for another two years and started to do something well as the battalion commander, but because the General Staff was first established, Wang Miao forced him back to the General Staff despite Yang Heng's opposition.
