They quickly summoned Zhang Shuye, Wu Bingyi, Wang Yi, and Zhou Xin to discuss countermeasures.

Wu Bingyi shook his head helplessly.

"I just checked on my troops as well,"

"Many officers lost their lives."

"The losses of troops and officers in Suizhou, Zhengzhou, and other places were even more severe,"

"Although they gathered more than 60,000 troops,"

"But without some time to reorganize the army,"

"I'm afraid I still won't be able to play."

Wang Yi ran into Lu Zhishen today.

They escaped with their lives on the line.

He harbored fear towards the Liangshan generals.

"General Wu is right,"

"The army's organization has now been broken up,"

"We have lost many more officers."

"This humble general believes that it would be better to transfer some more officers from Tokyo to deal with the Liangshan bandits."

Xiao Zhangliang and Jia Juxin understood.

"The main reason for today's crushing defeat is that no one could stop the Liangshan leaders,"

"They broke through the enemy lines, leading to their defeat."

Gao Kan thought about how Lin Chong had broken through the army's formation with unstoppable momentum today.

The situation of being chased,

I was still shaken.

"Lin Chong is nothing more than a drill instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards,"

"I will now summon the chief instructor and deputy chief instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards,"

"We'll capture Lin Chong then,"

"Only by tearing him to pieces can the hatred of today's pursuit be avenged."

After saying that, he immediately wrote a letter.

He ordered his personal guards to rush back to Tokyo to summon the two men.

The two men Gao Kan recruited were actually the chief instructors of the 800,000 Imperial Guards.

He was appointed Commander of the Left Righteous Guard.

General Qiu Yue was the bodyguard.

Deputy Chief Instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards

Zhou Ang, who held the official titles of Commander of the Right Right Guard and General of Chariots and Cavalry.

These two were highly skilled in martial arts.

Command all the coaches

These two men were Gao Kan's trusted confidants.

However, Gao Kan had previously thought that leading 100,000 troops to wipe out the Liangshan bandits would be a piece of cake.

So he didn't bring the two of them with him.

When everyone heard that two people were to be transferred,

He also breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Shuye, however, was not as confident as they were.

Although he was expelled from Tokyo in recent years

Taking up a local post,

However, he still knew about what was happening in the court.

After Gao Kan became the Grand Commandant of the Palace Guard,

Those who obey prosper, those who oppose perish.

Highly skilled martial arts instructors like Wang Jin and Lin Chong were all persecuted and forced to leave.

The remaining instructors, while not all of them were mediocre,

But those who succeed are probably all sycophants.

It will probably be difficult to defeat Lin Chong.

Besides, Lin Chong might not be the strongest leader of Liangshan.

However, he couldn't say it directly, so he could only say,

"The army has just suffered a defeat, and we must also guard against the Liangshan bandits attacking the camp overnight."

Xiao Zhangliang and Jia Juxin also frowned and said.

"Our army has just suffered a defeat; if we are attacked by bandits at night,"

"I'm afraid it will collapse completely."

Gao Kan said,

"Then bring all the troops into the city,"

"Once the city gates are closed at night, there's no need to fear nighttime raids by thieves."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shuye

"Jeju is just a small city,"

"If we let all 60,000 troops enter the city,"

"I'm afraid it will inevitably cause some disturbance to the people."

"As long as the generals arrange more patrols and bury the deer antlers deep,"

"By widely deploying caltrops, we can prevent the Liangshan bandits from launching night attacks."

Upon hearing this, Gao Kan glared at Zhang Shuye and said,

"How dare you! Entering the city only disturbs the people's rest!"

"But if we send my army outside the city, countless people may die or be injured."

"Do I need to tell you which is more important?"

Zhang Shuye has led troops for many years.

He was naturally aware of the behavior of those thuggish soldiers.

In order to defend against the Liangshan bandits

After taking office, he recruited soldiers extensively.

The military camps in the city were already full.

If these 60,000 defeated soldiers are allowed into the city,

They could only live on the streets.

But without the officers to restrain these routed soldiers...

They certainly wouldn't feel comfortable staying on the street.

Almost anything that can be imagined will happen.

burglary, harassment of women, and killing of civilians;

The number of people who will suffer at that time will likely be countless.

Gao Kan saw that Zhang Shuye remained silent.

I ignored him.

He said to Wu Bingyi, who was standing to the side,

"Go and bring all the troops into the city."

Chapter 1604 Night Raid and Counter-Night Raid

Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhang quickly replied,

"Wait a minute."

A sinister glint flashed in Gao Kan's eyes.

Staring at Uncle Zhang Ye,

"Does Lord Zhang have anything else to say?"

Uncle Zhang hurriedly said.

"I have a plan. If the Liangshan bandits attack,"

"We will surely defeat the enemy."

Gao Kan heard that they could defeat the Liangshan bandits.

He also became interested, and his anger turned to joy.

Looking at Uncle Zhang Ye,

"Oh, Lord Zhang, what brilliant plan do you have? Please tell me."

Zhang Shuye said.

"My lord, you may have a troop of soldiers lying in ambush outside the camp,"

"If the bandits dare to attack,"

"We can definitely catch them off guard."

Gao Kan, however, lacked confidence.

He still wanted to wait until Qiu Yue and Zhou Ang arrived.

Then we'll find the Liangshan bandits for a final battle.

But it's not easy to say it outright.

He could only look at Jia Juxin to the side.

Xiao Zhangliang and Jia Juxin thought for a moment.

"If it were daytime, given the ferocity of the Liangshan bandits,"

"Even with an ambush, it's not certain that we can defeat the Liangshan bandits."

"But at night, people are more prone to panic,"

"What if the Liangshan bandits were suddenly ambushed?"

"It will probably collapse as well."

Gao Kan thought for a moment before nodding.

"Very well, then General Wu, please lead your troops to ambush outside the camp."

Wu Bingyi, Military Commander of Chenzhou

However, they did not believe that their ambush would be enough to defeat the Liangshan bandits.

Hearing this, he quickly replied,

"My troops have suffered heavy losses."

"It still needs to be reorganized, otherwise orders will not be able to be conveyed."
