After just looking at the flag, Chen Jisheng hurried down the city wall, mounted his horse and went to greet them with his personal guards.
Not long after he got off the horse, Chen Jisheng met Mao Wenlong and quickly dismounted to greet him.
"General, why are you here?" Chen Jisheng was very confused and worried. "Our army has just occupied Fengcheng. There may still be scattered Jiannu troops around..."
Mao Wenlong waved his hand, interrupting Chen Jisheng and saying, "No need to be polite. Let's go into the city first."
When the group entered Fengcheng, Mao Wenlong did not rest. He went up to the city to inspect the defense and finally felt relieved.
"This city is indeed steep and strong. With two or three thousand soldiers defending it, it will be as impregnable as a rock." Mao Wenlong nodded in praise and, accompanied by Chen Jisheng, came to a large mansion in the city.
"General, you are so tired from riding, are you just inspecting the defense?" After sitting down, Chen Jisheng continued to ask to clear up the doubts in his mind.
Mao Wenlong nodded, pondered for a moment, and added: "Besides patrolling the defense, there are naturally other things to do..."
Mao Wenlong did not hide too much from Chen Jisheng. He wanted to transfer Kong Youde's troops from Xiuyan to Kuandian after inspecting the defense.
"Kong Youde's troops had fought in field battles with Daishan's two red flags and were very experienced."

"Ajige is young and energetic, and having just taken over the Zhengbai Banner, he must be eager to achieve success and establish his prestige."
"Jianzhouwei is the farthest from Liaochen. It will take some time for Jiannu to send reinforcements."
Chen Jisheng listened to Mao Wenlong's plan and nodded repeatedly, thinking it was feasible. However, he was also puzzled as to why the Marshal was so anxious to implement it.
If he were in Mao Wenlong's shoes, he might understand why Mao Wenlong was so eager to attack Jianzhou Wei and achieve a great feat first.
After the fall, it was time for Mao Wenlong to secretly travel to Beijing to report on his work. Was it just to report on the preparations for the major counter-offensive in the winter and spring of the following year? Mao Wenlong wanted to think deeper.
The Pingliao Campaign may end next year, depending on the results of the major counter-offensive. However, there is one thing that the court must resolve, and that is the overall command of the Liaodong War.
