Longyou was the capital of Gumi State during the Spring and Autumn Period, and its name was Gumi City.??.|`Taimo County was established in the 25th year of King Zheng of Qin, and it was renamed Longqiu in the eighth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty. In the second year of Changxing in the Later Tang Dynasty, Qian Liu, King of Wuyue, said that "Qiu" and "Tomb" were very unlucky, and he also rose and fell in the county and towns, and changed Longqiu to Longyou. Although there were occasional changes afterwards, this place is still called Longyou.

According to records, the ancient Gumi City was 212 steps long from east to west, 160 steps long from north to south, and the city wall was 117 feet high and 44 feet thick, and the circumference was 470 steps long. What Chen Wen saw at this moment was the city built on the original site of Gumi City in the second year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty. It was 6 miles long, 16 feet high, 113 feet wide, and the base was 19 feet wide, and it was covered with bricks. The city gates were opened, called Yong'an, Guiren, Taiping, and Xiangyi, and city towers were built on each gate.

Historically, Quzhou was a place where military strategists must fight for, and there were countless wars surrounding it. Among them, from Jinhua to Quzhou, you must first take Longyou before you can make a journey. If you want to attack Longyou, you must first try to cross Lingxi.

After looking at the city walls standing across the stream, Chen Wen brought his staff and his personal soldiers back to the camp outside Longyou Town. It has been several days since the Ming army's water camp did not have the ability to suppress the Qing army's water camp on the Qujiang River, it is naturally impossible to enter Lingxi through Qujiang to assist the Ming army's troops in crossing the stream. So, while collecting and manufacturing ships, Chen Wen recruited the civilians along the way, so he collected food and grass from the rich rural households, and put on an attitude of preparing to cross Lingxi.?.|

Outside Longyou Town, the Ming army camp was divided into two battalions, using the terrain trend to support each other. Among them, Nantangying and the half of Dongyang camp guarded the Beidaying, while Yiwu camp guarded the Nandaying with the dispatched garrison troops guarded the Nandaying. The civil servants from Jinhua were stationed in two battalions, while the civil servants recruited in Quzhou were placed in Longyou Town. As for the rafts and secret whistles, they were spread out according to the convention to maintain the acquisition of enemy intelligence and the blocking of our intelligence.

When Chen Wen returned to the camp, the civilians who built boats and rafts outside the camp were still working under the surveillance of the Ming army, while the soldiers in the camp were still doing more relaxed training to maintain a combat state and disperse the tension before the battle.

At the same time, in the central army's tent, several staff officers continued to make sand tables under the leadership of Lou Jiye. After several months of practice, they were already quite skilled in this job, and Chen Wen did not intend to get any too fine sand tables and maps.

It was not until more than an hour later that the sky began to darken, and the rafts that had been built outside the camp began to store 66 continuously, and the villagers also started to line up to receive meals. At this moment, the sand table was completely completed. After picking up the booklet to record military information, Lou Jiye began to take the staff to carry out the staff's work.

Since we do not have the technology and equipment to make contour maps and sand tables, we can only produce them based on the results of empirical observations, which makes it difficult to achieve the expected results even if we use staff operation tools to perform drawing operations. With the current technology, we will still roughly estimate and deduce the forces of both the enemy and us according to intelligence.

But even so, the purposeful conduct of staff operations is far more proactive than the officers and staff in the Eastern and Western armies in this era. The staff took the initiative to make suggestions and plans, and it was much more accurate, and the process of transformation from quantitative change to qualitative change has begun.

However, the General Staff Department has been established for several months. Although Chen Wen has simulated the staff operations in later military-themed TV series, movies and written records in later military-themed TV series, movies and textbooks, for these staff officers, this is the first time that the upcoming war was deduced in the army that went on a war. So much so that both ordinary staff officers and Lou Jiye, who is already in charge of the deputy general, feels extremely nervous.

Seeing his commander inserting the last two green flags symbolizing the Green Camp soldiers and the Ming army's red flags on the sand table, Lou Jiye took a deep breath and began to talk to Chen Wen and the officers present: "Since April 12th, our troops left the city, and nine days have passed. The whistle and cavalry of the Quzhou Tatars kept in contact after crossing the controlled area of ​​Tangxi County, and it was not until our troops approached the area of ​​Longyou Town that they retreated back to the west bank of Lingxi."

"According to the information obtained by our department before, the Tartars in Quzhou are now composed of the Zhejiang-Fujian Governor Biaoying, Jinhua Town Biaoying and Quzhou Green Camp. These three departments fought with our department last year, among which the Jinhua Town Biaoying was completely rebuilt and had almost no field combat capabilities. The Quzhou Green Camp suffered a considerable loss, but it can still assist in the battle of the relatively well-preserved Super Biaoying. At present, the real opponent of our department is the Super Biaoyingying under the Zhejiang-Fujian Governor. However, if it is delayed for a long time, there is also the possibility of reinforcements coming."

As he said that, Lou Jiye pointed to the sand table with the ruler in his hand and explained: "According to the information, the Tatars moved the Biaoying in Jinhua Town to Longyou County, while the Green Camp in Quzhou was set up along Lingxi to defend. At this moment, the location of the Diaoying camp cannot be determined. However, it should not be too far away, otherwise it will be difficult to slash the corner."

Hearing this, Wu Dengke and several other senior officers nodded. The defenders should not be depressed. The defenders should attack and harass them at any time, and reinforcements should also try to interfere with the arrangement and rhythm of the enemy's siege. This is the most basic common sense. These officers were forced to be blinded by Chen Wen when they were in Tiantai Mountain. Although the effect was not very good, they still knew the most basic military common sense.

As for the detour of the Super Biao Battalion that Lou Jiye did not mention, it was actually not impossible to appear behind the Ming army. However, with the result of last year's war, the Qing army in Quzhou may not dare to use the Super Biao Battalion to go deeper. It would be better if other troops cooperated to defeat them. Wu Dengke has been studying for nearly two years. He has read some of these things in military books, and if he doesn't understand, he has asked Chen Wen and other officers for inquiries and exchanged them. For deeper knowledge, such as the reason why "there are many nobles" when defending the city, and how to use them, he is very clear, so the results of Lou Jiye's deduction can naturally be easily understood.

"According to the deduction before sending troops, there may be two possibilities for the deployment of the Quzhou Tartars:"

"First, guard Longyou and set up defenses along Lingxi. If our troops cannot break through, we will continue to waste our lives. Reinforcements or encircle Wei from other directions to rescue Zhao. If our troops break through Lingxi, we will divide our troops outside Longyou County to harass our troops and interfere with our troops to attack the city, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive."

"Secondly, give up Longyou County and retreat to Quzhou. Quzhou is located at a critical moment. The city defense is very strong according to information. When Kaiping attacked Quzhou for a long time, it was unsuccessful. If the troops were divided outside the city to harass us, our troops would easily have the possibility of a loss of power."
