Fighting in different locations against different enemies meant there certainly wasn't a standard answer to copy.
But Li Hongyun had a method.
First, although he couldn't copy exactly, the strategic thinking was the same.
According to historical records, a major weakness of Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang's army was the lack of logistics support.
The records noted that they wouldn't carry too much supply but instead relied on looting and living off the land.
In other words, the troops had fighting capabilities, but they were mainly fierce when looting food; if they failed to secure supplies, the whole army would go hungry.
Therefore, the scorched earth strategy was still effective.
Li Hongyun could entirely rely on Jinyang City and the surrounding strongholds to hold out, which was a better defensive position than what Lord Qin had at Bai Bi.
