Qiu Cheng clasped his fists and said, "According to the news sent from the front, Zhang Shicheng learned that the peace request failed and decided to resist to the end!"

"This salt dealer really believes it?" Xiao Yun murmured.

"General Geng, look at it, can Zhang Shicheng repeat the style of the Tartars this time?" Xiao Yun asked naturally that Tuotuo led a million troops to attack Gaoyou City. Although he had known the result, for some reason, there was always a sense of expectation in his heart. This expectation was like when he was reading about being surrounded by enemies in junior high school textbooks. After farewell to the Concubine, he refused to cross Wujiang, which eventually made Liu Bang, a villain, the villain, become the emperor.

I have to say that Geng Bingwen has a good idea to defend the city. He first told Xiao Yun about the key points of defending the city, and then analyzed it one by one. Even outsiders could hear that Xiao Yun, a person, could tell that Zhang Shicheng was out of luck this time.

"Is it really impossible?" Xiao Yun asked casually.

Geng Bingwen said: "The most important thing in defending the city is not only the strong city, but the most important thing is the hearts and food. After Zhang Xun defended Suiyang to death, Suiyang was defended by the rebels like an iron barrel, attacking Suiyang from all sides. Zhang Xun used Suiyang's city to defend the city. In addition, the morale of the army in the city was stable. The rebels used clouds to attack the city with tools such as horses and hooks, and were all resolved by Zhang Xun. In the end, the rebels simply stopped attacking and waited outside the city for the Tang army to starve to death. At this time, the Tang army had no food for a long time, and the bark was eaten, so they opened a net to catch birds and rats to satisfy their hunger. In the end, even the leather armor was cooked and eaten. Birds and birds were amp;

226; The rat armor was finished, and the city had to eat people. Zhang Xun first killed his concubine and forced the officers and soldiers to eat it; then Xu Yuan also killed his servants and slaves as military rations. After eating the head coach's family, the women, children, and the elderly and weak in the city. Before the war in Suiyang City, there were 40,000 household registrations, and only 400 living people were left. In the end, if there was no more food in the city, how could the rebels not be able to conquer Suiyang City? I just heard General Qiu report that Zhang Shicheng led his people to break through, which shows that there were not many food and grass in the city. If not, there were 60,000 soldiers in Pingjiang City. Zhang Shicheng has done a lot of good things in Suzhou City over the years. The people of Suzhou City still support him and the people's will. Although General Xu and General Chang can fight, it is not easy to capture the Pingjiang City carefully arranged by Zhang Shicheng!"

Xiao Yun nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and said, "I didn't expect that there were so many tricks in a small city. I can't accept it. Seeing Zhang Shicheng breaking through these days, it can be seen that the food and grass in the city have disappeared. Is Zhang Shicheng bound to lose this time?"

Although the two of them were talking, they did not stop. Several war horses were twenty miles away. Just as the two of them were talking, Xiao Yun stood on the horse and looked at the city of Pingjiang not far away. Because of the war, there were dead bodies inside and outside the city. They cut guns and spears, dead horses and flags, and mournful sounds were heard. The scene was very tragic. Obviously, the fight between the two sides was extremely fierce.

"It's really a war?" Xiao Yun sighed, unable to tell whether it was good or bad.

"It seems that Zhang Shicheng will not come out for a while. Just as lunch was coming, I was sending my order. Qiu Cheng of the three armies led 10,000 elite soldiers to defend the southwest of the city. He Wenhui led 10,000 elite soldiers to attack the northwest of the city. The remaining 10,000 people followed me back ten miles, set up camps, and cook fires! Just eat and drink?"

As soon as Xiao Yun finished speaking, he heard a person walking up ahead, "Ah" and said in surprise: "No," General Xiao said this: "Never do it?" In addition to the Weimen, Huqiumen, Loumen, Xumen, Changmen, Panmen, Westmen, Northmen, and Eight City Gate, there are three cities left in Pingjiang City, northeast, southwest and northwest. At present, other troops are guarding the city gates one after another, maybe waiting for our three armies to siege the northeast, southwest and northwest? Wouldn't the general retreating like this break the plan of His Royal Highness the King of Wu?"

He Wenhui was under Zhu Yuanzhang when he was in Chuzhou. At that time, he was only fourteen years old. Zhu Yuanzhang took him under his command and raised him like a son, giving him the surname Zhu. When He Wenhui grew up, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered him to work with the generals to defend the various routes. Soon, Marshal Ren Tian Ningyi defended Ningguo and promoted him to participate in politics in Jiangxi Province. He attacked many prefectures and counties in Jiangxi that had not yet been captured, conquered Deng Zhonglian, who was the new capital, and beheaded him.

He assisted An Fu, drove Rao Dingchen away, pacified Shanjianzhai. He followed Xu Da to capture Huaidong and captured Pingjiang. Zhu Yuanzhang was given to Wen Qi with his great achievements, and was promoted to the left prime minister of the province, and restored his original surname. He was the most outstanding among Zhu Yuanzhang's many adopted sons. He was always a little strategy. His only disadvantage was that he became a little impatient. When he heard Xiao Yun asked the soldiers to retreat ten miles, he couldn't help it and asked with his fists.

Xiao Yun smiled strangely, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned his face and asked Geng Bingwen, who was like a meditation in the old monk,: "General Geng, do you think my arrangement is reasonable?"

Geng Bingwen nodded and said, "The city is strong and not necessarily surrounded by death. Maybe it is left with a glimmer of hope, and it is even more possible to win a big battle?"

I don’t know much about Xiao Yun, but I know Geng Bingwen and He Wenhui clearly. I was defending Zhang Shicheng’s army for several months back then, and this achievement was not a joke. At this time, when Geng Bingwen smiled and said something, he thought about it carefully, and seemed to have some insights. He glanced at Xiao Yun and said, “Is it really good to stay a line? Are you not afraid that Zhang Shicheng will run away?”

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "General He, I ask you, how is Gaoyou City compared to Pingjiang City?"

He Wenhui was slightly stunned, but he was a talented person after all. After thinking about it carefully, he said, "The city of Gaoyou is not big. The south gate is five miles from the north gate, and the city gate is only four. It is only considered a small city. Pingjiang City was built by Wu Zixu in the past by the Palace of King Wu. The city was surrounded by a low-high wall and a waterway outside. The government offices, treasurys, and residences in the small city are all available. After repeated construction by Zhang Shicheng over the years, it has been built into a solid foundation, which is not comparable to Gaoyou City?"

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Yes, Wu Xiaocheng is twelve miles away. It is two feet wide and seven feet high. There are three gates, all with buildings. The second one is Zengshuimen, one is two with buildings and one is Zengchai Road. Such a city is naturally much stronger than the small Gaoyou City. Zhang Shicheng has been in Pingjiang for decades, and it is obvious that the city is solid. If General He thought it was the former Gaoyou City, it would be a big mistake. If it weren't for this, His Highness the King of Wu would not need to send Marshal Xu, Marshal Chang, and our 200,000 troops to attack Pingjiang!"
