C23 Be Ready for Battle

Zhao Lin came to Zao Yang and brought the latest battle information to Zhao Dong, Zhao Huo, Zhao Guan and the other generals. He also saw his own sister Zhao Juan.

Zhao Dong instructed the chef to bring out the good wine and meat and serve them to Zhao Lin and Yuan Feng.

During the banquet, everyone's only topic was to discuss the military situation and how to guard the great essay on Zao Yang.

In the end, I came to the conclusion that we can't passively defend and we should integrate attack and defense.

This tactic was not decided by a single person slapping his head, but rather, the crystallization of their collective wisdom.

Zhao Guan said passionately: "The Jin Army is great, and will arrive soon. Therefore, our army should have made preparations in advance. I propose that I lead five thousand elite soldiers and move outside the city. I will activate the people of Zao Yang and build several small strongholds, forming a horn shape with the garrison troops of the city, so that they can resist the Jin Army for a long time. "

Wu said he led troops out of the city to build a small stronghold, but was firmly rejected by Zhao Guan.

Zhao Guan's reason was that Zhao Dong and Zhao Huo were blood brothers and knew each other's temperament better. When the situation was critical, it would be easier for them to discuss how to defeat the enemy.

Zhao Lin supported the decision of his brother Zhao Guan.

Zhao Juan was still young, so she only listened to Zhang Xuan at first. However, after she could no longer hold it in, she started speaking.

Big brother will not avoid this danger, I have decided to protect Zao Yang City and lead the troops to build a small stronghold, I support that! I also want to leave the city with big brother, build a small stronghold, and resist the Jin Army! "

As expected of the one who had resisted Jin Yinglie. Although Zhao Juan was only sixteen years old, she had the skills both at once.

She had lived in the military camp since she was young, and she had been through many trials and tribulations. Even the stupidest person could learn a lot of things, not to mention Zhao Juan's intelligence.

Zhao Dong finally accepted Zhao Guan's opinion, let Zhao Guan lead 5000 troops out of the city to build a small stronghold.

However, Zhao Dong and Zhao Huo refused Zhao Juan's request no matter what.

Zhao Juan was so anxious that tears almost flowed out. She tugged at Zhao Lin's sleeves and begged, "Second brother, why aren't you speaking up for me? Just tell me, just get Brother Dong and Brother Wok to let me follow Big Brother out of the city! "

Zhao Fang was the foster father of Zhao, Zhao Lin, and Zhao Juan. Zhao Dong, Zhao wok, Zhao Fan, and Zhao Sunflower were the foster brothers of Zhao Juan. For convenience, Zhao Juan had always referred to Zhao Fang's four sons as Brother Dong, Brother Wok, Brother Fan, and Brother Kwai.

He called his own elder brothers "Big brother" and "second brother".

These six older brothers were like Zhao Faang and Wei Xue's couple, loving Zhao Juan dearly.

There was a saying within Jinghu that Zhao Juan was the happiest girl there.

Zhao Lin was pestered by Zhao Juan to the point where he had no other choice but to suggest that Zhao Dong and Zhao Huo consider letting Zhao Juan follow Liu Tie out of the city to establish a stronghold.

Zhao Dong, Zhao Huo is Zhao Lin's brother nominally, but in the position, is not higher than Zhao Lin. Zhao Lin's work area was quite wide, allowing him to freely travel through Jinghu, Jiang Huai, and Chuan and Shan. That set of Great Soong Devil Slaying Team was able to intimidate enemies. Even the current emperor was very polite to Zhao Lin.

Zhao Dong spread out his hands and said, "Since Brother Lin insisted on letting me follow Brother Guan out of the city, then let me leave. But you have to be careful. If a large number of Jin Army arrived and attacked the small stronghold, they would have to retreat safely. If necessary, withdraw to the city. Little sister, did you remember? "

"Mm, don't worry, Brother Dong. I will be fine." Hmph, a mere Jin Army, how can he take care of us Zhao siblings! I'm not afraid. "

Zhao Lin laughed and said, "I was born with the courage of a hero. I was born with the wrong pregnancy. It should be a man, hahahaha."

Zhao Juan punched Zhao Lin in the chest, feigning anger, "Second Brother, you're so bad. I won the battle with Big Bro, see how I'll teach you a lesson!"

When everyone saw this, they all burst out laughing.

The next day, Zhao Guan and Zhao Juan ordered five thousand elite soldiers to set off for the Shangjiachuan area to build a small stronghold.

The reason why he had chosen Shangjiachuan was because the terrain there was extremely dangerous. Mountains and rivers crisscrossed and lush forests flourished, making it easier to fight against the Jin Army.

Zhao Lin stood at the head of the Zao Yang City and watched as Zhao Guan and Zhao Juan leave the city with their Soong Army.

After Zhao Guan and Zhao Juan left with their troops, Zhao Lin immediately bid farewell to Zhao Dong and Zhao Huo.

Zhao Lin said, "Father is waiting for me at Xiangyang to report on the situation. I also need to arrange new missions for the various Devil Slaying Team s. Yuan Feng's group, Devil Slaying Team member, will stay here to assist you in your defense. Please rest assured, I will definitely follow the reinforcements and appear outside of Zao Yang City. When that time comes, we will definitely be able to break through Jin Army! "

When Zhao Dong and Zhao Huo heard this, they understood very well, so they waved goodbye to Zhao Lin.

Before Zhao Lin left, he pulled Yuan Feng aside and explained some matters regarding the defense. In particular, the Zao Yang's grain depot must be protected at all costs and must not be taken away by the Jin Army.

Yuan Feng said he would do everything in his power to ensure the safety of the grain depot.

After Zhao Lin returned to the Xiangyang, he immediately went to see Zhao Faang and Yuv Jiugong.

Zhao Faang and Yuv Jiugong listened to Zhao Lin's military report and began discussing how to defeat the enemy.

Yuv Jiugong said: "This time, Jin Army will go all out, and it will be a one on one bet. "Our troops have been reorganizing and preparing for war for many years. We have plenty of food, and we have high fighting spirit. We will definitely be able to defeat the strong enemy."

However, Zhao Faang was not without worries. He gently stroked his white hair and sighed: "Jin State does not declare war, extremely shameless! The Great Song gave it many years of old coins and many treasures, but it was insatiable. It wanted to seize control of the great Song Dynasty, and had raised a wolf in the great Song Dynasty! "

Zhao Lin said, "What can we do about it? It's really unfortunate that the Song Dynasty has such a neighbor." This time, the Song Dynasty is on full alert. Even if Meng Jin were to attack together, the Song Dynasty will not be afraid! "

Yuv Jiugong laughed and said, "Lord Zhao has set up a big trap for the Jin Army this time. The key points of this plan are Zao Yang and Suizhou. As long as we hold these two places and wait for the Jin Army to drop, our army will be able to launch an all-out counterattack and eliminate the main forces of the Jin Army in one fell swoop! "

Zhao Faang said in a deep voice, "Let's hope so."

Just as the three of them were discussing about the military situation, a imperial army came rushing in and reported loudly, "Lord Zhao, the army of Wanyan Eke is charging towards the direction of Chen Zhou, the state of Suihua and Guang Hua. Wugu Lunqingshou is charging towards the direction of Xin Yang, Suizhou and Zao Yang.

When Zhao Faang heard that, he lightly waved his right hand and imperial army retreated.

Yuv Jiugong said, "Wanyan Eke is really impatient and quick."

Zhao Faang stood up, walked to the side of the window, looked towards the direction of Zao Yang, and said in a clear voice: "What should come will definitely come, if I'm late, I might as well come early. This time, our army will guard the various points firmly, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack tactics, I believe that with the ability of the citizens of Jinghu, they will definitely be able to completely destroy this crazy attack of Jin Army. Within three months, annihilate its main forces and recover its lost Jinghu! "

Zhao Lin continued: "Fortunately, we took the firm and clear measures outside of Jinghu, so most of the citizens have already moved to the city. The places that the Jin Army has taken over, will not get much strategic goods. The Great Soong Devil Slaying Team and guerrillas raided everywhere, disturbing the Jin Army, causing it to be unable to calm down. "

Yuv Jiugong laughed, "That's right, let Wanyan Eke slowly gnaw on Jinghu. I want to see who exactly is a true expert!"
