"Since the thief didn't get Mr. Hu, he will naturally be safe." Lai Da comforted him, "After I go back, I will look for him secretly!"

After the discussion was completed, Chang Qingyun went to the commander-in-chief again to discuss it. He Rubin was not interested in this matter at first. Seeing that someone was willing to take the risk, it was not a waste of his own troops anyway. The required documents were immediately sent to him.

He was rewarded with another ten taels of silver. The customs notice issued by General Lai was folded into a long strip, wrapped in oil paper and sewn tightly with cloth, and then sewn into his belt. Someone arranged to take a warship across the sea to Qiongshan.

.

In the war room of Ma Niao's headquarters, the staff were conducting battlefield operations around a huge sand table. He Ming and officers above the battalion were overlooking the entire sand table from a slightly higher stand nearby. This sand table was brought from the old time and space.

The electronic map was produced after correction by the special reconnaissance team and the field survey by the exploration team. Not only is the scale accurate, but the details are expressed to an outrageous level - this is made by a group of scale model enthusiasts, including a sand table.

A bridge on the river, a village - even though it is pitifully small, it is also old-fashioned.

This sand table represents the topography and landforms from Lingao to Qiongshan County. This area is condensed on this huge sand table.

Where to fight the advancing Ming army was the first question the staff decided.

He Ming and most of his officers believed that it was not feasible to defend the enemy within the country, and the Fubo army must crush the Ming army outside Lingao while ensuring that most of the prisoners could be captured.

The first option was to fight near Qiongshan County. The Fubo Army took advantage of the fact that the Ming Army had just assembled and when its foothold was not stable, they maneuvered by boat and land on foot and suddenly appeared at the foot of Qiongshan County and defeated the entire He Ming Army.

Afterwards, the enemy would inevitably retreat into Qiongshan County, and Fubo's army immediately broke into the city and captured prisoners.

The biggest advantage of this plan is that fewer prisoners escape, which can ensure that most of the broken troops are captured. The disadvantage is that the troops have to carry heavy weapons and supplies and walk hundreds of kilometers to Qiongshan. Although some can be transported by ship, the troops still have to carry the necessary supplies.

Equipment, after this long march, the soldiers will be very tired.

Finally, if Qiongshan is defeated, some states and counties in the Ming Dynasty will fall, and Qiongshan is the first county of Qiongzhou Prefecture. The shock of the fall of the prefecture will be much greater than that of a county seat. Moreover, there is a deputy envoy patrolling Hainan Road in Qiongshan City.

, on the day when the city was broken, it was not just a seventh-grade county magistrate who was going to commit suicide, but also the prefect of Qiongzhou, the sub-inspector of Hainan Road and other important officials who had to be buried together. This matter would cause a big fuss.

So this plan was quickly rejected.

The second plan is to defeat the Ming army at the foot of Chengmai County by relying on Youhuo Camp, and the marching distance can be shortened. The disadvantage is that some Ming troops will flee to Qiongshan, some will flee into Chengmai, and some will scatter in all directions.

The third plan is to set up an ambush at the mountain pass in the area south of Ma Xiao. With Ma Xiao Xiaotuan City as the front support point, it is expected to capture most of the Ming army on the battlefield. The advantage is that we are almost waiting for work, and the battlefield facilities

Very comprehensive. The disadvantage is that some of the escaped Ming troops may escape into Lingao territory.

After evaluation, everyone believed that facing the enemy in Chengmai was an ideal choice. The geographical location here was moderate, and the Fubo Army could maneuver within a short distance without consuming too much transportation power. It was also more convenient to evacuate the wounded and prisoners.

When the army came to attack Lingao, given its mobility and logistical conditions, it was inevitable that they would advance through post roads.
