    When Lin Feng finally returned to the governor's study after many days and sat down, Xi Mucheng handed over a blank piece of paper. It was the former governor who had just participated in the memorial ceremony and whether he had worn a strip of cloth during the sacrifice.  After carefully reading the list of officials, Lin Feng put the list into the bottom drawer and began to deduce the direction of the war in Jiangbei, Huainan and the Southern Tang Dynasty with the civil and military subordinates who followed.  Until dinner time, a group of military generals argued repeatedly and came to an extremely realistic and pessimistic conclusion: without external help, the entire battlefield in Jiangbei and Huainan, except for Haozhou led by Guo Tingwei and Yangzhou, the eastern capital of Yan King Li Hongji, could barely protect itself.  Except for this, other cities are vulnerable, and the overall situation is worrying.  However, the Tang Dynasty now faces several large-scale battlefields, and the remaining soldiers still have to guard the borders. There are not many troops left to mobilize. Even if a nationwide mobilization is launched, the young men who rush into battle will only have a strong reputation. In the real battle,  It will not be effective at all on the battlefield, but will most likely become the army's biggest weakness.  Lin Feng has been leaning on the back of his chair and listening to everyone's heated discussion. Sometimes he smiles and expresses his opinions, sometimes he closes his eyes and rests. If he didn't change his sitting position every once in a while, people would think that he has fallen asleep.  When he accidentally saw Zhou Ehuang's figure flashing outside the study room for the second time, Lin Feng slowly stood up and walked among everyone. He first stretched out a fist, then slowly opened his fist into a palm, and said with a smile:  "Everyone knows that when two people fight, they must clench their fists to hurt others. If they stretch out their five fingers, they will not hurt others, but they must be careful to be hurt. The situation on the battlefield has always been  Like running water, all the 200,000 elite Zhou troops were defeated under our Shouzhou City. Now it is estimated that there are only 140,000 left at most. If they spread out the remaining troops, they can achieve some victory, but in the end they will be like this  At the end of the strong crossbow, it is inevitable that it will not be able to penetrate Lu Jianye. At this time, as long as there is a little external force, the battlefield situation will change, and the Zhou army will change from comprehensive dominance to complete passivity, and a major defeat will be just a hair away. " Having said this, Lin Feng walked over.  Holding Zhou Ehuang's arm, he turned around and said: "Also, don't forget, we have the largest external force on the battlefield in Jiangbei and Huainan. Let's go eat." Wait, you didn't make it clear where the external force is after all.  Where is it? We are all trapped in Shouzhou City, so how can we be the biggest external force? A group of generals stared at each other, even more confused.  When the soldiers in Shouzhou City were looking forward to external forces to break the deadlock, external forces became the common expectation on battlefields all over the world.  Three thousand miles away from Shouzhou, the great pirate Jia Yuhang, who was trapped in Yankang, was like a wounded beast. Faced with the continuous attacks of Cham soldiers, he went completely crazy and openly shouted in the army: "Meet the ruthless on a narrow road."  "So, the crazy Jia Yuhang first ordered all small and medium-sized ships to be sunk and piled up at the port, successfully blocking the Cham soldiers from attacking from the sea; secondly, he ordered all Cham soldiers except women to be  He and the civilian captives first chopped them with several knives, and then impaled them whole on large pointed wooden piles on the shore and on the masts of the sunken ships in Yankang. These poor prisoners often screamed for days, and their blood completely drained from the rear.  Finally, pirate Jia led his army's masters to organize a night attack and captured seven Cham soldiers. When the sky turned white, they openly staged a heart-eating and blood-drinking game in front of the two armies.  In the crazy drama of meat, all the pirates lined up to cut the meat with knives, and competed to eat human flesh while grinning. They all behaved like alien barbarians.  Although one party is not afraid of death, it is crazy and perverted to be unable to stand up to the other party.  In the culture of Champa, it is said that there is a flying head plague, which has no body and only one head flying around to eat people. Folk legends also say that there are many piranhas in the water. Even if it is only a shallow stream with the bottom visible, the Champa people will eat it.  Crossing on a bamboo raft, that is to say, being eaten with incomplete corpses has been the deepest fear of the Champa people since ancient times. When they saw Jia Yuhang and a gang of madmen eating people in public, they originally risked their lives to attack day and night.  The Cham soldiers finally became timid, their pace slowed down, and their attacks were no longer so sharp.  Jia Yuhang and the others can finally take a breath, but they have only temporarily stabilized their defense. They can only talk in their dreams if they want to break out of the encirclement.  To the northeast of Yangang, the Wan'an Prefecture mixed army led by Yi Wuhen faced the Southern Han Dynasty combined army from Zhenzhou, Qiongzhou, Danzhou, and Yazhou. After the initial unfavorable battle, they retreated directly into Wan'an Prefecture.  Anzhou City was immediately surrounded by nearly 30,000 coalition troops.  Who is Yi Wuhen? He was originally a gangster who dared to cut himself off. At the critical moment of life and death, his fierceness naturally burst out. Yi Wuhen first ordered the whole city to observe martial law. Anyone who did not obey military orders and rules would be killed on the spot. Secondly,  Posts were posted at every city gate for pre-war mobilization. Anyone who kills an enemy will receive two hundred coins and three acres of fertile land in other states after the war. Anyone who captures an enemy will be rewarded.  It immediately becomes their private property, and no one may infringe upon this right; finally, arrangements are made for Han and Li people to?We met the enemy separately at the top of each city, and it was agreed that the number of enemies killed would determine the status of both sides in the army.  With rewards, inducements, and glory, Yi Wuhen's three magic weapons immediately sparked a killing contest among the soldiers defending the city. Therefore, although the allied forces of the four states of the Southern Han Dynasty attacked quickly at first, they  They all returned defeated. When word spread secretly about Wan'an Prefecture's three murderous plans, the morale of the coalition forces was immediately shaken. The increasingly undefeated coalition forces had to surround the Wan'an Prefecture regiment and wait for the city to run out of food.  Like Yangang, Wan'an Prefecture, which is isolated overseas, has also become a besieged and isolated city.  Under the city of Zhangzhou in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Pan Chongche, the Eastern Recruiting Envoy and Minister of Internal Affairs of the Southern Han Dynasty, and Li Tuo, the Deputy Recruiting Envoy of the Southern Han Dynasty, personally led the troops and attacked the four cities together. However, Zhang Hansi, who was determined to fight to the death, led his men to resist bravely.  Subsequently, the Southern Han army, which had achieved little success, changed its siege strategy and left the West City, which was slightly higher outside the city, to attack. Instead, the entire army concentrated on attacking the East City, which was generally low-lying. Zhang Hansi had to tilt his forces and gradually mobilized troops from other city gates.  Troop support.  For three consecutive days on October 27th, 28th, and 29th, the Southern Han army attacked day and night, causing more and more casualties on the east city. Zhang Hansi had to mobilize troops from other city gates several times.  In the early morning of October 30th, nearly ten thousand Southern Han troops suddenly appeared outside the west city of Zhangzhou. These soldiers were fully equipped with siege equipment and well prepared. They attacked from multiple points outside the entire city wall. The Southern Tang defenders, who were left with only a thousand men and horses, were caught off guard and unable to resist.  He had no choice but to beat the drum and ask for help.  After Zhang Hansi heard the urgent report, he urgently led a thousand personal guards to help Xicheng.  When Zhang Hansi rushed to the west city, he found that part of the city had been lost. When the counterattack was ineffective, he made a prompt decision and abandoned the city wall. He ordered defenses at both ends of the city wall and under the stairs to climb the city, temporarily resisting the attack of the Southern Han Dynasty.  Soon, Pan Chongche and Li Tuo rushed to Xicheng and withdrew the garrison troops temporarily summoned from newly conquered cities such as Longyan, Zhangping, Hua'an, Changtai, and Pinghe in the west of Zhangzhou. They all moved to the north city and led their own troops.  They violently attacked the west city, ordered the soldiers to carry earth up the city wall, and began to pile up the ramp to the lower city.  At this moment, Zhang Hansi, a veteran of the battlefield, made a temporary decision and suddenly made a strange move that no one had thought of. When the Southern Han army took turns to have breakfast and the attack slowed down, they urgently summoned the defenders of each city to attack the enemy.  The army moved in the direction of Nancheng, which had the smallest number of troops. He suddenly opened the gate of Nancheng and attacked forward with all his strength. He dispersed the Nancheng army of Nanhan who was in a state of relaxation. Before the armies from various cities could encircle them, they quickly turned to the west and ran wildly, passing through Hua'an, Changchun.  Not being able to enter the small towns of Tai, Pinghe, etc., he rushed to Longyan at noon that day, led nearly 4,000 men to easily capture Longyan, which had few defenders, and once again occupied the city and defended it.  Longyan is located at the junction of the southern Fujian coast and the Pearl River Delta and the three provinces of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi. Its geographical location is very important. After the Southern Han Dynasty occupied it, it selected this place as a supply base for the West. There were mountains of food and ordnance in the city, and after climbing the mountain on the west side, it was the south  In Tingzhou in the Tang Dynasty, the significance of defending was indeed better than that of Zhangzhou City, which was heavily besieged.  After receiving the news that Longyan had been lost, Pan Chongche frantically jumped for nearly a quarter of an hour. Finally, he ordered 10,000 defenders to surround Longyan City, marshaled the army himself, and assembled a 100,000-strong army to head north with all his strength, heading straight to Quanzhou.  Chen Wenshan, the deputy capital commander of the Southern Tang Infantry Army who originally guarded the last mountain ridge of Taohua Mountain in Nancheng, Quanzhou, made a decisive decision when he saw the enemy coming in like a tide. He immediately led the 5,000 defenders to retreat in large strides and retreated directly to Quanzhou City.  At noon on November 4th, the Southern Han Dynasty army successfully surrounded Quanzhou City, and divided its forces to begin besieging Dehua and other cities on the west side of Quanzhou, intending to completely trap Quanzhou City. At the same time, the Southern Han Dynasty naval forces pressed forward in large numbers and  The waters on the east side of Quanzhou were blocked.  At this point, Chaozhou and Zhangzhou, which had just been recaptured by the Southern Tang Dynasty for only half a year, fell one after another, while Quanzhou and Fuzhou were both besieged. The war situation in the south was precarious.
