This strategist was lucky this time; his status rose considerably after An Shirong got into trouble.
According to Liu Feng's estimation, this person will become Qian Mu's top strategist from now on.
Qian Mu sent this person, ostensibly to help him devise strategies, but what was the reality?
It was a form of surveillance against Liu Feng.
After a brief chat with everyone, Liu Feng got down to business.
"Is everyone here?"
What is the current troop composition?
Tian Feng bowed slightly.
"General Liu, as you planned, all 10,000 men have arrived without missing a single one."
"Moreover, the provisions have been delivered for about three days."
"The weapons have all been distributed."
"We couldn't bring warhorses this time, so all the people who came were infantry."
Liu Feng nodded.
In fact, he already knew the situation very well beforehand.
After all, Liu Feng had already inspected these weapons and armor when they arrived.
Moreover, based on his observations when he first came in, he had a clear idea of what was going on.
Although Qian Mu didn't miss a single person, he gave them all to himself.
However, the quality of these people is not very good.
They were either newly recruited soldiers who had never been on the battlefield, or veterans who had been on the battlefield, but these veterans were all wounded and were more or less weak.
The weapons and armor they brought were not brand new; many of the weapons had chipped blades and were covered in rust.
This wasn't because Qian Mu and Liu Feng were playing tricks on each other.
Rather, it's because this is the current basic situation at Dasanguan.
Don't be fooled by the seemingly large number of troops at Dasanguan Pass.
But in reality, that's not the case.
Only about ten thousand men were actually capable of fighting on the battlefield; these were Qian Mu's true elite troops.
Apart from these, most of them were soldiers stationed in the fields. These people were soldiers during wartime and farmers during peacetime, so they were relatively poorly trained.
Those ten thousand elite troops were Qian Mu's true assets, and naturally he wouldn't give them to Liu Feng.
Despite its strategic location, which makes Dasanguan easy to defend and difficult to attack, this very geographical position severely limited the number of troops stationed there.
After all, there were almost no towns in the surrounding area, and the majority of the soldiers were the original inhabitants of the city and the mountain people from various places.
Of course, these soldiers were not entirely useless; they were either mountain rangers, soldiers stationed in the fields, or veterans who had been through countless battles.
New recruits are strong and physically fit, while veterans are experienced.
Therefore, the overall level of these people is still much better than that of soldiers from other places.
However, the disadvantages of weapons and armor are quite obvious.
Their weaknesses are more pronounced than their strengths.
Otherwise, with just these 10,000 men, Liu Feng could have led them to conquer the world.
After wandering around Linghu Zheng's courtyard, it was basically confirmed that these soldiers were unable to train themselves.
This place is too small; there's simply not enough room for all these people to stand.
Well, all we can do is hope that they can rely on their physical abilities and experience to make the most of their strengths.
He was a centurion, and each of them led a thousand men.
Although Qian Mu's method of organizing an army was crude, it was quite effective, and many armies adopted this configuration.
In the following days, apart from occasionally going to see Prefect Wang for a drink, Liu Feng spent most of his time with these soldiers.
This explains why Liu Feng insisted on arriving in Tianyong City a certain amount of time in advance.
You need to get to know these generals and let them know who the general they are now loyal to is.
If soldiers don't know their generals, and generals don't know their soldiers, then everyone will be a disorganized mess on the battlefield.
Furthermore, sufficient trust needs to be established between the general and the soldiers.
Only when there is trust will the soldiers get used to your orders and your way of speaking.
They will be more in sync when fighting.
With his superb martial arts skills, exceptional eloquence, and precise understanding of the psychology of these mountain people, Liu Feng had already become an trusted ally of these men in just two days.
During this process, Liu Feng received marriage proposals from at least sixty people and no fewer than one hundred invitations to become sworn brothers.
He even accepted countless challenges from these soldiers.
In the past few days, news from Wang Dingliu's side has been coming in every day.
The armies of the Heaven and Earth Society and the Northern Barbarians were also gradually gathering.
According to current statistics, the army assembled by the Heaven and Earth Society and the Northern Barbarians has at least 10,000 men.
Moreover, the Northern Barbarians alone had gathered more than three thousand people.
According to Liu Feng's estimate, the Northern Barbarians mobilized at least 5,000 people, while the Heaven and Earth Society mobilized at least 20,000 people.
At that time, it will be a siege of Zhengde County by more than 20,000 people.
But that's alright. With 20,000 men against 3,000, the advantage is still on my side.
At this moment, inside the Linghu residence.
Liu Feng handed over the intelligence that Wang Dingliu had just sent to several centurions and the strategist Tian Feng, and asked them to circulate it among themselves.
He then beckoned to the soldier who had come from the doorway.
"Go and inform Lord Wang that it's almost time to make your move."
"Judging from the current situation, their army will definitely be fully assembled tonight."
"The time is set for the latter half of the night, before the rooster crows. That's when the enemy will attack."
