Chapter 510 Offer a strategy to attack the city! ([-]-word update, two chapters in one)

In the second year of Chuping, on the ninth day of the first lunar month, the new year is still festive, but the cold winter has not yet passed. Although the wind and snow between heaven and earth are much smaller, it is still there, and even the air is still covered with a chill. surrounded.

Yizhou, Shu County.

Outside Chengdu.

Since Jialong's rebellion took over the city, the army outside the city has been besieging the city for more than a few months, and the morale of the Yizhou army that is sticking to Chengdu is getting lower and lower. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yizhou's rebellion against Jialong has come to an end. .

At the end of last year, Jia Long's general, Ren Qi, the prefect of Qianwei County, was defeated repeatedly. He was betrayed by his generals and had his head beheaded on a snowy night. Thousands of Qianwei County soldiers under his command were taken over by General Zhao Wei.

General Zhao Wei is a representative figure of the Yizhou gentry, the eldest son of the Zhao family, which means that the Yizhou Zhao family will break away from the alliance of the Yizhou gentry where Jia Long belongs, and join the Yizhou Mu Liu Yan.

This is a big blow to Jialong.

Jia Long was furious, and ended up copying the Zhao family, but the Zhao family had been prepared for a long time, the family moved out, and only one empty house remained, which was burned down by Jia Long in anger.

The Zhao family represented a part of the Yizhou gentry. As a result, Jia Long not only lost an arm, but also lost the support of the gentry, and his momentum was not as good as before.

As for Jia Longqi's two arms...

Jia Hu, the cousin of Jia Long, led a mansion of [-] soldiers out of Bajun, intending to seize Bajun as the foundation, abandon Shujun and carve up the land of Bashu. Yan Yan exhausted all the soldiers and horses of Berkshire, and wiped out all the troops in the city.

With the departure of the two arms, the Yizhou gentry turned against each other. As the largest gentry in Yizhou, the Jia clan was also in danger, and Jia Long was even more devastated. The state army is guarding, but the situation is already in jeopardy.

Of course, although the city is chaotic, it still occupies the city.

The days outside the city trapped in the wind and snow are truly difficult.

This year's wind and snow were fierce, and Yizhou also escaped from the heavy snow disaster. The soldiers stationed in the wilderness outside the city were shivering from the cold. Under frostbite, many people fell ill or died, which made the morale of the soldiers not high. .

However, Liu Yan's heart for taking Bashu was as firm as iron, and under this kind of weather, he never returned to Mianzhu, and lived with the soldiers, which stabilized the army's morale. When the spring came, he would attack Chengdu directly.

Baibo Barracks.

The Baibo army is a herding army, and Liu Yan borrowed soldiers and horses. Of course, the Baibo army has exerted a lot of strength. Whether it is fighting all the way from Berkshire or attacking Chengdu, they have fought vigorously and are regarded as a powerful soldier.

Liu Yan is not the Liu Zhang in history. As a great man who created the foundation of Bashu, he may not have great courage, but he definitely has the ability to know people and win people instead of using them. He is a person who values ​​talents. Whether it is Huang Zhong , Xi Zhicai, or Bai Bojun, he has made up his mind that he will never repay what he borrows.

Therefore, the supply to the Baibo army is not bad, and it is not treated equally. Although it is not as caring as the Dongzhou soldiers, it is not short of catties. The soldiers' food, grass and winter clothes are taken care of. It really bought a lot of soldiers. .

However, General Huang Zhong is a stubborn person...

on the school field.

"Breaking the military!"

"Cut off!"

"Chop and kill!"

"..."

Huang Zhong was wearing a thin robe and was practicing martial arts. His saber technique was like a god, and his long sword was more than ten feet long, but he cut out a monstrous force. The blade was three feet away, and within ten steps, he could cut off a person's head.

"Clap clap clap!!"

Xi Zhicai walked over, clapped his hands and said, "General Han Sheng is worthy of being the number one general under the lord. His martial arts skills are really superb and immeasurable!"

"Ha ha!"

Huang Zhong put away the saber, threw the long saber to a nearby soldier, walked over, and said with a smile: "Zhicai has paid off. Within ten miles, I can control it consistently, but ten miles away, I need Zhicai to strategize." !"

He knows his own strengths and also his weaknesses. On the battlefield, he may be able to charge forward and control soldiers and horses, but when it comes to winning a thousand miles, ten of him are not as good as a wise man.

The two greeted each other politely, and then entered the camp.

Huang Zhong sat down cross-legged, took a breath of hot tea to moisten his throat, and then asked, "Why is Zhicai looking for me?"

"It's just a few things, but seeing the general so focused, it's a little disturbing. The general has such martial arts, but he can still practice hard every day. Zhicai is very impressed!"

Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and said.

Among the people in the world, he has seen that no one has ever surpassed Huang Zhong in martial arts, but Huang Zhong has such a high level of martial arts, but he practiced hard every day. It is conceivable that this martial arts is not easy to come by.

"People who practice martial arts must persevere. If you don't practice for three days, you will lose your sword skills. If you don't practice for three months, you will lose your martial arts. If you don't practice for three years, you will be like a man!" Huang Zhong said in a deep voice.

It is difficult to practice martial arts, but it is even more difficult to be stable. You need to practice hard and never relax.

"It's like reading a book, the truth is the same!"

Xi Zhicai smiled, learning the new by reviewing the old is not talking about it, reading also requires persistence.

After exchanging pleasantries, we can get down to business.

"General Han Sheng, we should go!"

Xi Zhicai had a solemn face, with a gleam in his eyes, and said in a low voice.

"time to go?"

Huang Zhong's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Now?"

"It was not good for the Lord to attack Hanzhong last year. If we don't go out, it will be difficult to break through the city of Nanzheng. If we drag it on, I'm afraid we will have to make wedding dresses for others!" Xi Zhicai knew the battle situation in Hanzhong like the palm of his hand, Jingwu Division reported every three days, and the situation was in his hands .

"Making wedding dresses for others?"

Huang Zhong's eyes widened, and the killing intent in his eyes was like a knife: "My lord has been planning for a long time, and I have spent a lot of time. I have waited for Erlang to fight so hard, and I have paid a lot. Who wants to pick peaches?"

"Of course it's the court of Chang'an!" Xi Zhicai said with a sneer: "Chang'an stares at us, and it's not just a matter of a day or two. Entering Nanzheng, Chang'an's troops will continue to enter Hanzhong, and it will be difficult to retake them!"

"Dong Zhongying, shameless enough!"

Huang Zhong yelled angrily: "He will not leave any way of life to the lord, nor to our tens of thousands of men in the herding army!"

"The enemy of life and death, how can we be soft-handed, these beasts are heroes, we must not give them a chance to enter Hanzhong, so we must go north as soon as possible, and use the internal and external forces to attack Nanzheng and control Hanzhong, that is the right way!"

"But how do we leave now?"

Huang Zhong was a little worried: "Not to mention Liu Yan's wooing us these days, the Dongzhou Army is watching us very closely now!"

Ever since he had a decisive battle with Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren couldn't hold his head up. Zhang Ren didn't have much face against him, but the Dongzhou Army monitored the Baibo Army a lot, and there were many people who were worried about Baibo.

"I'll figure it out!"

Xi Zhicai said: "You just need to be prepared!"

He spread out a marching map: "I already have a general idea of ​​the road to the north, but I still have to deduce it carefully to make sure nothing goes wrong. After all, we can't afford to lose this battle!"

"Are you sure you want to go to Jiange?" Huang Zhong looked at the red line on the marching map, squinting his eyes and asked.

Jiange is naturally dangerous, guarding against the inside but not the outside.

However, there are more than [-] soldiers stationed in Jiange, and these [-] soldiers belong to the Yizhou army, and the general is Pang Xi. In the battle between Liu Yan and Jia Long, both sides did not please, and neither side stood in line.

"Only in this way can we catch people by surprise, otherwise, no matter whether we go north from Berkshire or go west by detour, entering Hanzhong will cause trouble!"

Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice: "As for Pang Xi, it's easy to deal with. After all, we are still wearing the coat of Liu Yan's general. As long as we are fast, it is not a problem to hide it from him. If we enter Hanzhong, we will have no scruples." !"

"Since Zhicai already has an idea, a certain family believes in you!"

Huang Zhong pondered for a while, then nodded. He was convinced by Xi Zhicai for making suggestions.

"I'm going to see Liu Yan. After half an hour, you go to ask for a fight!"

Xi Zhicai stood up and straightened his robe.

"Please fight?"

Huang Zhong was a little surprised: "This Chengdu city has high walls and thick walls. Although some soldiers' morale is broken in the city, it is not easy to fight at all. If we are trapped, how will we get out!"

"Don't worry, you just need to fight with an attitude of not sacrificing anything at all costs. In this battle, nine times out of ten, it won't be your turn!"

Play will, talent and wisdom are in your hands.

……

A quarter of an hour later, the main camp of the Chinese army.

"My subordinate, Xi Zhicai, pay my respects to your lord envoy!" Xi Zhicai entered the camp.

"Zhicai is here!"

Liu Yan smiled slightly and said, "Look at the seats!"

"You can just stand there!"

Xi Zhicai shook his head: "If the king is the master and we are servants, how could he lose his courtesy!"

"You, you're just too particular!" Liu Yan shook his head, he didn't force himself, he pointed at a painting on the desk and said, "Zhicai, how is my picture of Jiangshan?"

The map of mountains and rivers cannot be drawn by ordinary people.

And Liu Yan's picture of the mountains and rivers looks good at first glance, but when you look at it seriously, the beautiful mountains and rivers lack a trace of grand ambitions. Only the land of Bashu is not as majestic as the great ancestor who swallowed the world.

"My lord, the mountains and rivers are pictures, so why paint them!"

Xi Zhicai came up, stared at it for a while, and then spoke after a while.

"What do you need then?"

Liu Yan asked seriously.

"When painting mountains and rivers, you should use heroes as ink and cities as lines!"

Xi Zhicai cupped his hands: "The subordinates came here today because they have a plan to attack Chengdu and offer it to the envoy!"

"You have a good plan to defeat Chengdu?" Liu Yan's eyes lighted up slightly. Although the victory was assured, Jia Long would definitely lose, but the longer it dragged on, the more it hurt Yizhou's foundation. He didn't want to win a Jia Long. Long is enough, he wants the whole Yizhou.

"Chengdu's hearts are in chaos, now it's time to attack!"

Xi Zhicai nodded: "As for the method of siege, it's not difficult, it's not easy!"

"Now?" Liu Yan shook his head: "It's still in the cold winter, wouldn't the siege of the city make the sons suffer from the cold air and only increase the casualties!"

"Master Shijun thinks that if Chengdu sticks to it, how long can they hold it?" Xi Zhicai asked.

"This one……"

Liu Yan thought for a while and said: "Chengdu has been a big city in Shu County since ancient times. There is a lot of grain stored in the city. The Yizhou army also has elites here. The Jia family has been operating for many years. Although I cut off his external reinforcements and trapped him in the Here, but if he resists desperately, it will be difficult to go down to the city within three to five months!"

"Because of this, now is the best opportunity!"

Xi Zhicai said.

"Why?" Liu Yan didn't understand: "After the spring, isn't it better to attack!"

"Master Shijun, if you are ready, they won't be ready. In a head-to-head encounter, they will not be able to win without bleeding. But now, they were caught off guard. Spring has not yet begun. They must think that we They don't know Miyagi, they have been trapped in the city for a long time, and their morale has already been broken, as long as they are caught off guard, they will be defeated and scattered!"

Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and said: "At that time, my lord can take Chengdu without any effort to destroy it!"

"Zhicai's words are unreasonable!"

Liu Yan's eyes lit up, but he was still a little worried: "But in today's weather, under a strong attack, the soldiers will definitely suffer countless losses!"

"Master Shijun, if I can let the Baibo army break through the city as the vanguard, can you agree to my condition!"

"Say!"

"Whoever gets the captive can serve as the main force, how about it?"

"This one……"

Hearing this, Liu Yan cast a sidelong glance at Xi Zhicai. Although he really wanted to win over Xi Zhicai and Huang Zhong, he still could not trust them if they did not surrender to him for a day. The attack in this battle will definitely attack Yizhou Army, if the Yizhou army is taken by the Baibo army, it will only increase its strength. Once the Baibo army loses control, what should be done.

In an instant, countless considerations flashed through his mind.

"After the generals come to discuss this, we are making a decision, okay!" Liu Yan didn't explicitly refuse, but used procrastination, but his attitude was already obvious, and he didn't want the Baibo army to become bigger.

Soon all the generals gathered under Liu Yan's command.

"Everyone, I am going to attack Chengdu!"

Liu Yan cleared his throat and said.

"Attack Chengdu now?"

"Be early!"

"Chengdu is not so easy to fight. Now that the ice and snow haven't melted, if you attack by force, the damage will be miserable!"

The generals disagreed somewhat.

"Master, why did you propose this?" Dong Fu did not rush to object, but asked instead.

"This was suggested by Zhicai!"

"Xi Zhicai?" Dong Fu glanced at Xi Zhicai, bowed his hands and saluted, and asked, "I don't know why Zhicai proposed this?"

"Master Dong, attack Chengdu without delay!"

Xi Zhicai said calmly: "You are all planning to attack after the beginning of spring, but have you ever thought that when we are fully prepared, you have already prepared the best defense in the city, and if we fight in the end, it will be a battle." In a tough battle, kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred?"

"That's the reason!"

"Going to war now will really catch them off guard!"

"But if you let them react, it's not desperate in the end..."

Some are for it, some are against it.

"Since Mr. Xi thinks we can attack at this moment, I don't know if there is a good strategy to break the city!" Dong Fu pressed his hand to calm down the generals, and asked again.

"It's not difficult to break the city!"

Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "Master Dong, the so-called attacking the unprepared and the unexpected, the so-called, is nothing more than attacking the east and attacking the west. We want to break the city, and the reason is the same. Although Chengdu has high walls and thick walls, there are many defenders, but the hearts of the people are already gone." Chaos, its master has been defeated, as long as its mind is disturbed, its city can be destroyed!"

"Easy to say!"

Someone said in a cold voice, because they looked down on a scholar talking nonsense in the tent.

"Mr. Xi, please be more careful!"

Zhang Ren glared at his subordinates, he stepped forward and said to Xi Zhicai with his hands clasped.

Xi Zhicai's words, in the eyes of some people, are empty talk.

But in the eyes of those who are familiar with military affairs, that is the words to break the city.

"If I attack Chengdu, I will send [-] soldiers to attack the northern city first, and then [-] soldiers and horses to attack the eastern city. After a fierce attack for three days, retreat along the way, then attack the west city gate, attack fiercely for two days, turn south and attack, and after a few days , the defenders in the city will be confused if they move back and forth!"

Xi Zhicai had no fear at all, and said in embarrassment: "Then it will be the time for my main attack!"

"Where to attack?"

Zhang Ren asked.

"Where can't it be!" Xi Zhicai said with a smile.

"Understood!"

Zhang Ren deserves to be someone who is familiar with military affairs. He immediately understood: "Mr. Xi's meaning is that as long as his mind is disturbed, his deployment can be disrupted. At that time, if we want to drive straight in, we can attack at will!"

"It's not far, but it's still close!"

"What's wrong?"

"On the day of the attack, one person needs to enter the city and lobby the Yizhou gentry in the city to cooperate inside and outside. In less than ten days, Chengdu will be destroyed!" Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice.

One is foreign war and the other is civil strife.

With a two-pronged approach, the current situation in Chengdu is simply unstoppable.

He is sincerely offering advice, but he just chose a good time and hid an unknown selfishness.

"Mr. Xi, what you said is true!"

Dong Fu nodded, agreeing with Xi Zhicai's words: "In this way, Chengdu will be in chaos, Jia Long will be in chaos, and it will take no effort to attack Chengdu!"

"Liu Shijun, a certain Huang Zhong, was treated kindly by the envoy, but he didn't make any effort, and was even ashamed. Now, please fight, be the vanguard, attack Chengdu, and don't break Chengdu. Come and see me!"

Huang Zhong suddenly knelt down and called for a fight.

"Han Sheng has such a heart, it is very comforting!"

Liu Yan looked at Huang Zhong in his eyes, and looked at Xi Zhicai. How could he see that the two of them came to offer advice after discussing it. They just wanted to swallow the soldiers of the Yizhou Army and strengthen the strength of the Baibo Army. What is absolutely impossible, if he has to respond to the merits of the Baibo army at that time, it will be difficult for him to ride a tiger, so he must not agree to this matter: "However, the Baibo army has traveled a long distance and is not familiar with Chengdu yet. For a few days, in this battle, let the Dongzhou army attack first, the Baibo army will lead the formation, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will stand in formation!"

"Zhang Ren!"

"exist!"

"I order you to lead [-] troops to attack Chengdu at noon tomorrow!" He didn't give Huang Zhong the need to challenge here.
"promise!"

Zhang Ren took the lead.

After Zhang Ren took the order, Xi Zhicai and Huang Zhong showed a hint of disappointment one after another, which made Liu Yan more sure of his guess.

……

After the generals dispersed, Dong Fu stayed behind and asked, "Master, why didn't you let Bai Bo fight!"

"Do you know that Xi Zhicai asked for a fight for Baibo, and did he ask for anything?"

"any request?"

"They want prisoners from the Yizhou Army!"

"You want the Yizhou Army?"

Dong Fu's eyes widened: "They have such big appetites!"

"No matter Huang Zhong or Xi Zhicai, they are all talents. However, they are not yet stable in their hearts, so they can't give him a chance to grow stronger. If the Baibo army is strong, they are afraid that they will fall out of our control!" Liu Yan sighed and said.

After he sighed, he asked Dong Fu: "Is there something wrong with the strategy of acting for talents?"

"The strategy is quite satisfactory, but it is feasible, and what Xi Zhicai said is correct. This timing is the best timing. We can't wait until the city is ready to attack. We have to take a surprise attack. Also, he is in trouble. He is right in his mind to support the soldiers and horses, this point!"

Dong Fu thought for a while: "But I guess he may have a better plan to attack the city, but he..."

After thinking about it, he stopped talking.

"It seems that he is still looking towards Mulongtu!"

Liu Yan knew what Dong Fu was going to say, and he sighed helplessly. It is not easy to take back a person and use them, especially those who have a master.

"As long as the lord keeps him here, slowly, he will not be able to escape from the lord's control. When the lord frees up his hand in the future, he will call Mulongtu to Chengdu. After being imprisoned, he will be loyal to him!" Dong Fu suggestion.

"Hope it!"

Liu Yan nodded, and there was such a trace of expectation in his eyes, he finally understood that no matter Huang Zhong or Xi Zhicai, if he wanted their loyalty, he only needed to take down Mujing.
