Zhao Muyun took the seat of honor without hesitation.
On behalf of the Hedong Grand General's Office, he proposed that Zhang Zan continue to serve as the military governor of Longyou and be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General, with all the captains under his command being promoted to colonels.
The memorial was to be sent to Jinyang, where it would be presented to the emperor for his decree.
As for Guo Xiaoti, the Ganzhou Colonel who died in the Chiling Gorge, please also posthumously confer upon him the rank of General.
"Gentlemen, there are only 18,000 soldiers in Liangzhou City right now!"
"Outside the city, our old adversary Yang Yan has an army of 50,000, a vast disparity in strength. Let's discuss how we should proceed!"
Zhao Muyun looked at everyone and asked.
In fact, he already had a preliminary plan in mind, and gathering everyone was a collective effort to further refine it.
"Grand Commander, in addition to 18,000 soldiers, there are 7,000 to 8,000 warhorses and 50,000 civilians in Liangzhou City. They have been besieged by Yang Yan for so long, and their food supplies are running low!"
Zhang Zan first pointed out the difficulties they were facing.
"There are many wounded soldiers in the army, medicine is scarce, the weather is getting hot, the soldiers' wounds are difficult to heal, and fevers are common." The newly appointed governor of Longyou also complained.
Tang Yanhai immediately said loudly, "My lords, the difficulties we are facing are even worse than when Lord Pei and I were besieged by the Tartars in Ganzhou and Heidu Mountain. But we've made it through, haven't we?"
"The Grand Commander wants you to come up with solutions, not to complain."
"Old Tang, you mustn't be rude to the two gentlemen. I'm telling everyone to speak freely and say whatever comes to mind!" Zhao Muyun glared at Tang Yanhai.
Tang Yanhai shrank back and hurriedly apologized to Zhang Zan and the other man.
Although he was reprimanded by Zhao Muyun to his face, Zhang Zan and the others understood that Zhao Muyun wanted practical advice, so they quickly smoothed things over and suggested holding their ground and wearing down Yang Yan.
Immediately, Wu Shangzhi, Guo Luo, Shi Yong, Liu Yi and others expressed their willingness to take the initiative.
Both sides expressed their opinions and began to argue.
Just then, Shen Qian, the deputy commander of the Night Scouts, rushed in, his face filled with barely concealed excitement and joy:
"Grand Commander... Latest battle report from Xia Prefecture!"
Upon hearing the battle report from Xiazhou, everyone immediately fell silent, their eyes fixed on Shen Qian.
Zhao Muyun calmly said, "Speak!"
Shen Qian swallowed hard: "Yang Fan's beheading is a great victory in Xia Prefecture!"
What?
After a brief silence, the entire hall erupted in excitement.
