Just after everyone heard Zhao Yu's conversation, they all fell into a deep thought, and Zhao Yun, who was on the side, suddenly stood up and bowed to Zhao Yu, and said: "Your Majesty, with the courage of our soldiers, plus those divine soldiers, it is not difficult to capture Hanzhong County.Please give your Majesty an order, Zhao Yun is willing to lead his troops and horses to take this Hanzhong County, and if there is a violation, he is willing to be dealt with by military law. ”Seeing that Zhao Yun stood up first and fought for Zhao Yu, this time the army attacked the western city of Hanzhong, and the vanguard general of the Shu army.The other generals around him suddenly began to be reluctant to get up, especially Tai Shici, who took the lead in complaining to Zhao Yun: "General Zilong, you are really cunning, this time I finally came with His Majesty to attack the enemy Shu Kingdom, but you want to take the position of vanguard." ”As Tai Shi Ci's voice lagged behind, Yan Liang on the side also coaxed: "That's right, General Zilong, as far as I know, since Your Majesty established the foundation, you have served as a vanguard general many times.Every time you fight, you will be out of the limelight, and this time, no matter what, I can't give you the title of vanguard general, otherwise, I will not be able to eat meat, even if it is to drink soup. ”Seeing that everyone spoke one after another, Pang De, who had never liked jokes, couldn't help it, and opened his mouth to say: "As long as General Zilong comes out, it is estimated that this battle will soon be overwhelmed, even if I want to participate, I am afraid it is not comparable to the combat power of the White Tiger Cavalry."
So this time, General Zilong is still temporarily in the rear, accompanying His Majesty and a few military advisors to have a good discussion.The credit of this pioneer general, let me wait for you to bear it. ”In the face of everyone's words, Zhao Yun was suddenly speechless, these people are what you say and I say, and what you really say has a nose and eyes, so that Zhao Yun really can't refute it.Wen Xing, who was watching on the side, couldn't help but smile and said: "Hey, I didn't expect General Zhao Zilong, who was rampaging on the battlefield this time, but he was stumped by these guys this time, think about it, it's funny enough." ”When the generals spoke one by one, Gao Shun, who was very silent, also stood up and said: "The attack on Xicheng is a siege battle, and most of you are cavalry, and you can't exert all your strength at all.Therefore, this attack on Xicheng, it is better to leave it to me Gao Shun, with Gao Shun and the soldiers of the trapped camp under his command, I will definitely be able to easily take the entire Xicheng and subdue the entire land of Hanzhong for Your Majesty.After the fact, Xicheng was broken by my camp, and if there were Shu soldiers deserting, it would not be too late to be pursued by your cavalry at that time. ”In this way, it can be said that except for the four generals of Xichuan and the brothers of the Ma family, all the rest of them applied to Zhao Yu to be the pioneer general.Originally, with Ma Chao's character, he also wanted to compete for the position of this pioneer general, but when he thought that he had won half of Hanzhong in a row, he was afraid that he was competing for the position of this pioneer general, which was somewhat inappropriate, so he opened his mouth and swallowed it back.Zhao Yun never thought that this time he was just applying for a pioneer general, and so many people would stand up and compete with him.But what everyone said, Zhao Yun couldn't refute it for a while, so he had to show a wry smile at Zhao Yu.Zhao Yu also shook his head helplessly, his generals are loyal and warlike, this is a good thing, and it is inconvenient for him to say anything, if it is unevenly distributed, someone will definitely complain.Perhaps seeing Zhao Yu's predicament, Xu Shu on the side couldn't help but stand up and relieve Zhao Yu of the siege: "Your Majesty, this Xicheng is a place heavily guarded by the Shu army, although it has not been clear how many Shu troops there are.However, according to the previous conversation between Xu Shu and Lu Xun, the strength of the Shu army in this western city should be at least about 50,000. ”"Moreover, now these Shu troops have known the movements of our army, so they have been closing the gates of the city.In addition, yesterday Xu Shu took the men and horses to investigate the surroundings, and found that there were many Shu army camps around, all of which were empty, all of which were on the surface, the Shu army not only knew the movements of our army, but also knew the number of soldiers and horses of our army.Knowing that kind of horn tactics is useless for our number of troops, so we will recruit all of them to Xicheng to expand and consolidate Xicheng's strength, and use these forces to increase Xicheng's military defense. ”"If I were a member of the Shu army, I would definitely close the city gate at this time, and no matter what happened outside, I would never go out of the city to face the battle.Then immediately send people to Yizhou to ask for help, and when the reinforcements from Yizhou are concerned, there will be two combat strategies.The first strategy is to directly march the army into Xicheng, with a large number of troops, plus the defense line of Xicheng, stubbornly resist our army. ”I only heard Wen Xing say uncontrollably: "That's really ridiculous, with the strong combat effectiveness of our army, even if the defense line of Xicheng is strengthened and the strength of the army increases, it may not be able to withstand the attack of my 300,000 army." ”But after seeing Xu Shu hear this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "No, no, if the Shu army strengthens the defense line of Xicheng, it will definitely not fight with our army."
Rather, it is to start a delaying war with our army, and the army is fighting abroad, and the most terrible thing is not casualties, but attrition.The daily consumption of more than 300,000 troops is very terrible, and if it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that even if the grain and grass materials carried by our army this time are sufficient, there will be times of tension. ”"Once the supply of grain and grass is not timely, and some of the officers and men in the army starve, there will be contradictions, and there will be a decline in morale, and what will happen to the army of more than 300,000 people.At this time, it is the time that the Shu army is most looking forward to, and it is also the time that the Shu army wants to wait.I am afraid that when the time comes, as long as there is a little crisis in our army, these Shu troops will immediately go out and attack our army at all costs. ”"There was not enough food and grass, and the soldiers could not eat enough, and they did not have enough strength to pick up weapons.If the enemy suddenly pours out, the officers and men will inevitably become afraid, and I am afraid that they will not be able to display 100 percent combat effectiveness, and the number of casualties will also increase. ”Zhao Yu couldn't help but ask: "What will be the other strategy of the Shu army?"
"Another strategy of the Shu army, that is, the reinforcements of the Shu army from Yizhou, will march quietly.At that time, we used Xicheng as a bait to induce our army to continuously launch strong attacks on Xicheng, and when our army could not attack the city one after another, and retreated exhausted.Those Shu army reinforcements from Yizhou will immediately launch a fierce attack from the rear of our army, if the Shu army has been cowering in the west city at this moment, they will also take the opportunity to go out of the city to attack, and the front and rear flanking attacks will definitely hit our army very hard. ”"Even if there are only about 50,000 soldiers and horses in the western city of the Shu army, and only 350,000 reinforcements from Yizhou, the entire Shu army is only 100,000 horses, while our army has more than 300,000 troops.But in the case of a decrease in the combat effectiveness of our army, a decline in morale, and a loss of physical strength among the soldiers.With these two Shu army soldiers and horses, they flanked our army before and after, and the 100,000 Shu army could easily defeat our 300,000 army.Even afterwards, when our army wants to regroup its troops and horses and launch an attack on Xicheng, I am afraid that its strength will be much worse than before, and we can only return defeated. ”Xu Shu's meticulous analysis immediately silenced everyone, although everyone had enough confidence and enthusiasm.But on the battlefield, it is not possible to win with impulsive blood, after all, these people are some big generals with heads and faces, not those new young generals, and when considering some things, they will also take the actual situation.After Xu Shu finished analyzing, Zhao Yu couldn't help but speak: "So, what Mr.
Xu Shu means is that if you attack Hanzhong, you must attack quickly.Although we have more than 300,000 troops, we must also capture Naxi City when the reinforcements of the Yizhou Shu army arrive.Otherwise, our army's more than 300,000 troops will fall into a passive moment.Whether it is the Shu army in Xicheng or the reinforcements of the Shu army in Yizhou, it will involve part of our army's strength, making our army lose all advantages in numbers. ”Xu Shu immediately bowed to Zhao Yu and said, "Your Majesty is wise, Xu Shu is exactly what he meant." ”At that moment, Zhao Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Haha, this is really distressing, if it is a task of individual combat, I, Zhao Yu, dare to carry it out alone."
This kind of heavy force and large-scale attack is simply a headache for me. ”Later, Zhao Yu looked at everyone again and asked: "I don't know you, what are the good strategies and suggestions for this capture of Xicheng" but he didn't want Zhao Yu to speak, and everyone suddenly kept silent, and suddenly saw a general stand up, this person is the newly descended Wei General Lejin.I saw Le Jin bow to Zhao Yu and said: "Your Majesty, Le Jin has a plan, I don't know if it's feasible" Zhao Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Le Jin, and hurriedly asked: "Oh, what is General Le Jin's plan, hurry up." ”Although everyone questioned the loyalty of Lejin, the newly descended general of the Wei army, Zhao Yu was bent on doing this, and it was inconvenient for everyone to say anything.I only heard Le Jin speak: "The Wei army and the Shu army were friends of the allies before, and this time Xicheng Fazheng and Wei Yan sent people and horses to Yizhou for help.Presumably, when the army of the Shu army came, the general entered from the Guanzhong area of Ba County, and His Majesty only needed to let Le Jin change into the clothes of the Wei army and go to the junction of Guanzhong and Xicheng, so that he could meet the reinforcements of the Shu army. ”"When the time comes, as the Wei army of Lejin, those Shu troops will not relax their vigilance against Lejin.When the time comes, Le Jin will take advantage of his unpreparedness and directly attack it, and he will definitely be able to defeat the Shu army that came to help in one fell swoop, so that the reinforcements of the Shu army will not dare to enter Hanzhong at will.The plan to join Xicheng was also shattered, but I don't know what His Majesty thinks. ”:
