Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 582 576. The Last Time

When Xu Shu saw Feng Xi smiling from the bottom of his heart, he drew everyone's attention with just one sentence.

Feng Xi was naturally happy to see them again. In a sense, Feng Xi also made up for the regret that the few people in the original timeline never met again after Xinye.

"Haha, no hurry, no hurry, let's just catch up slowly. I also know that you and the military advisor haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's just right that we are here to discuss matters. Since the matter of Luoyang has not been settled yet, I will go and make some arrangements."

Seeing that Xu Shu was trying to shift the blame to Feng Xi, Feng Xi was not polite and cleared himself of the blame with just two sentences. Then he left the tent to Zhuge Liang and the others to reminisce about the past, and went outside the tent to arrange matters concerning the defense of the garrison in Luoyang city as he had just said.

Although according to common sense, the Wei army would not dare to leave the city, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Cao Zhen is also a man who is well versed in the art of war. If the Han army does the opposite, it will inevitably suffer losses.

"Meet the Grand Commander."

Feng Xi went straight to the general selection platform, sat on the platform and looked at the generals who were summoned by the sound of war drums. Needless to say, the Yangzhou army, Xu Shu was nominally his subordinate, and those Jiangdong surrendered generals and Han army young generals were naturally under his jurisdiction.

Although the Sichuan Army nominally did not accept Feng Xi's orders, those who came with Zhuge Liang this time were basically Feng Xi's old acquaintances. Wu Ban, Chen Shi and others were all old generals in the Eastern Expedition, so they naturally had no doubts about Feng Xi's arrangements.

"Now our army has surrounded the remaining Wei army in Luoyang City. Although we are surrounded on three sides, we still need to be on guard against night attacks or surprise attacks by the Wei army. Xu Sheng, you, Zhu Heng, and Zhu Yi must not slack off in night duty. Have the soldiers be prepared for night attacks by the enemy, and at the same time dig trenches and prepare for defense."

"As ordered."

Three men stepped out, bowed to receive the order, and then returned to the team.

"Ma Su, I don't need to explain the situation of our Jingzhou army. You know what to do, right?"

Feng Xi looked at Ma Su. Now Ma Su was strictly speaking Feng Xi's right-hand man, because Ma Su was talented and had many brilliant ideas. More importantly, Ma Su had followed Feng Xi in his campaigns for a long time, so he knew many of Feng Xi's habits and did not need Feng Xi to remind him specifically.

"I understand."

Ma Su bowed and nodded. In fact, Feng Xi was just going through the motions with him. If Ma Su had missed anything, Feng Xi would have said it long ago.

"Bao Feng, Bao Yi, you two must lead the Shenwu Battalion and stay alert. The Shenwu Battalion is the response force of our Han army. If anything happens, the Shenwu Battalion must be dispatched immediately. Do you understand?"

"You will finally understand."

"Yuanxiong, I believe the Prime Minister should have made arrangements long ago, right? If there is anything missing, please remind the Prime Minister."

When he arrived at the Sichuan Army, Feng Xi was no longer so decisive. After all, Zhuge Liang was such a person, how could he not think of these basic things? So Feng Xi just mentioned it.

"Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, you two will be the leaders. All the cavalry will be in charge of you two. On the one hand, patrol the north gate to prevent the Wei army from taking advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters through the north gate to Mengjin Ferry and escape to the north."

Feng Xi naturally would not miss the task of patrolling the north gate, and handed it over to Guan Xing and Zhang Bao to prevent any extraordinary martial arts experts in the Wei army from escaping from the north gate by relying on their personal bravery.

"Yes!"

When the business was over, Feng Xi couldn't help but reminisce about the past. Wu Ban, Chen Shi and others were all his acquaintances, so naturally he had to chat for a while. "Grand Commander, the Prime Minister and the General invite you to come over."

After chatting for a while, a guard came to ask Feng Xi to go back. Feng Xi knew that they had finished reminiscing about the past and it was time to talk about the attack on Luoyang.

Sure enough, when Feng Xi returned to the big tent, Zhuge Liang and his companions had already finished their conversation and were waiting for Feng Xi to return.

After some evasion, the person who finally sat on the top seat was Zhang Fei. After all, Zhang Fei was the general, and even Feng Xi had to obey Zhang Fei's orders in name, of course, in name only.

Although Zhuge Liang's status was comparable to Zhang Fei's, it was wartime after all, and the subject of discussion was military affairs. In addition, Zhuge Liang was not a competitive person, so the first position was given to Zhang Fei, and Feng Xi and Zhuge Liang sat in the positions of right and left hands respectively.

"Well... about this... the attack on Luoyang, what do the Prime Minister and General Feng... think?"

It was the first time that Zhang Fei saw Zhuge Liang sitting next to him, so he found it a bit strange and uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.

"General, my Jingzhou army has a secret method that can break through the city gate, but there is only one city gate. This method will take some time to prepare, and you need to be close to the city gate. The effective distance is no more than a hundred feet."

Feng Xi touched his chin and expressed his thoughts.

"Oh? The Grand Commander actually has a way to break into the city? You have to know that Luoyang is a strong city, with a wall that is 20 to 30 feet high, and the Luo River is used as a moat, and there is an urn city. I'm afraid that just breaking through one gate is far from enough."

Zhuge Liang was very interested in what Feng Xi said and guessed that it was probably some magical invention of Feng Xi, probably something like explosives. But as Zhuge Liang said, if you want to break into the city with explosives, the cost will probably be a lot.

"What the Prime Minister said makes sense, so I intend to gather craftsmen to make some siege equipment for the Yangzhou Army and the Sichuan Army at the same time, to facilitate the three-pronged attack of our Han Army. The Yangzhou Army can just make a feint attack, and if the Sichuan Army is able to break the city, that would be the best. If not, we can just wait for our Jingzhou Army to break through the city gate and attack the city wall to cooperate with the outside forces."

Feng Xi explained his tactics. As the most combat-effective force, the Jingzhou Army would naturally be responsible for the task of forced breakthrough.

The two continued to discuss for a while, from tactical arrangements from defense to offense, and it was not until half an hour later that they finished the discussion.

"In that case, let's do as the Grand Commander says. If there is anything you need from the Prime Minister and me, just let someone notify us."

Zhang Fei also knew that Feng Xi was still the actual commander of this battle, so he just calmly acted as a mascot and did not participate too much in the discussion between Feng Xi and Zhuge Liang.

"General Zhang, although we cannot drink alcohol in the army, we can eat as much as we want. Since you and the Prime Minister are here, why don't you try the special food of our Jingzhou Army?"

Feng Xi invited several people to have a meal together as a welcome, and Zhuge Liang did not refuse, as he just wanted to see the current situation of the Jingzhou army. Zhang Fei had no objection, and since Zhuge Liang did not refuse, he naturally agreed.

"Come here, go and make preparations. We will entertain Prime Minister Zhuge and the general tonight!"

Feng Xi smiled and asked Bao Yi outside the tent to notify the firemen. For the current Jingzhou army, frying, deep-frying, roasting and stir-frying are not rare products, and the iron pan is not a high-tech product. The cost is even similar to that of a weapon.

Even from the perspective of health, the stone pots made by skilled craftsmen are even more magical. The taste of the Jingzhou army has also improved, and it is no longer dry rice or dry food.
