A 100,000 army is not a small number, especially in the territory of Liao. Even if Youzhou is not too far from Zhuozhou, it is impossible to capture such a strong city without hiding everyone's eyes and ears. What's even more terrible is that many Liao soldiers must have escaped during the wars of this day and night. Soon, both in the Youzhou area and the Liao army, which still confronted the main force of the Song army, would also know the result here, and they would inevitably have targeted defenses.

In other words, there is not much time left for the Shandong army to attack Youzhou, and judging by the speed of the 100,000 troops, it is completely impossible to reach the city of Youzhou before this time node.

After understanding the difficulties, the excitement on everyone's faces was wiped out, leaving only unwillingness and helplessness. Someone else muttered below: "Is there no way to have the best of both worlds?"

Only a few close friends who knew Sun Tu still had some confidence in their eyes. They looked at him and waited for him to decide on a strategy. After a moment of silence, Wu Yong also laughed and said, "Since the general has taken all this into consideration, he must have a good solution to deal with it, right?"

Immediately, Song Jiang and others understood and looked at Sun Tu with anticipation, waiting for his response. Sun Tu did not disappoint them, and looked at Wu Yong with a smile and said, "Zhiduoxing is Zhiduoxing. Be careful and observable. Yes, if we want to take down Youzhou City, we can always come up with a solution, but we need to take some risks."

"I wonder what the general has to do?" Dong Ping asked quickly.

"It is too late to set out to attack Youzhou together, and it is very easy to be noticed by the Liao people and be fully prepared. But what if we only select thousands of elite soldiers and pretend to be defeated by the Liao people and go to Youzhou?" Sun Tu said his countermeasures, and his eyes quickly swept over his subordinates in front of him.

The expressions of these generals were stunned, and then they all reacted: "Wonderful! In this way, they can not only arrive at Youzhou as quickly as possible, but also use this disguise to hide from the defenders there. As long as they can lead their troops into Youzhou, great things can be accomplished!"

"And what's even better is that we now have many Liao army flags, armor, and even horses in our hands, which can easily be disguised as Liao army defeated soldiers."

"They would never have thought that we would have this move. Just wait for the city gate to open, Youzhou will inevitably change hands. After all, what the Youzhou defenders must be left behind are old, weak and disabled soldiers, and they will lose the support of the city. Even if they have more troops, they will definitely not be the opponent of our elite Shandong army..."

Everyone became interested again and expressed their opinions in a verbal way. This time, even Yue Fei agreed with this surprise attack strategy. Perhaps this plan was still inappropriate, but compared with the huge benefits of being able to take Youzhou, the little risk needed is nothing.

So soon, Dong Ping stood up first: "General, the last general is willing to lead this elite force to Youzhou north and capture this city!"

"General Dong, you have made many contributions over the years. Why not give this opportunity to our brothers? General, the last general is willing to issue a military order. Once you fail to lead your army to take down Youzhou City in this battle, I will come to see you!" Wu Song immediately asked for the battle.

"Erlang, you have just made great contributions in this Zhuozhou City, so you should give this opportunity to me. General, Song Jiang is willing to lead his brothers to this trip and will definitely be able to successfully capture Zhuozhou!"

As these few people spoke, the other generals followed. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a name for themselves. Who would like to miss it for nothing? Since Youzhou City was ceded by the Liao people by Shi Jingtang more than a hundred years ago, this city has become an eternal pain in the hearts of all Han people. As long as you can regain Youzhou in this battle, even if the court does not give rewards, in history, in the hearts of future generations, people will inevitably regard them as great heroes. It is not an exaggeration to say that a saying is famous for the eternal period.

He is as humble and low-key as Lin Chong, as young and as poor as Yue Fei. Although he has not spoken anything, he still looks at Sun Tu with anticipation, hoping that he will hand over this important mission to himself.

Facing the expectant eyes of everyone and the fight, Sun Tu laughed again. This was exactly the situation in the army he wanted to see. Everyone was fighting to go on a war without fear of hardships. This was the key to the ever-increasing and invincible army leader.

However, this time, Sun Tu was about to disappoint everyone. He first stretched out his hands and pressed down, and stopped the quarrels of everyone's requests and orders, and then said: "You all have the intention of making contributions to the country's war. I, Sun Tu, can naturally understand it. However, after all, this battle in Youzhou is of great importance, and I dare not use it if I am not sure. All of them said, my decision this time is..." Speaking of this, his eyes quickly swept across the faces of Dong Ping, Song Jiang, Lin Chong, Yue Fei and others, which made everyone's breathing tightly, and then he slowly expressed his final decision: "I think it's better for me to lead the troops to fight this battle in person!"

"General..." The faces of all the subordinates changed suddenly, and even Yue Fei said anxiously: "Is this too risky?"

Just now, everyone only mentioned how great the opportunity this battle is, and what they thought was how much contribution they could make after success. But in fact, there is one thing that cannot be avoided, that is, this trip is also extremely dangerous!

You should know that the key to the so-called surprise attack is the word "strange". If you have to catch the Youzhou defender off guard, it means that you have extremely high luck. In addition, in order to achieve speed, they will definitely not have many soldiers and horses, only a few thousand. Therefore, once the enemy sees the truth, the situation of this lonely army in the heart of the Liao Kingdom will become extremely dangerous and will face siege from all sides.

Moreover, even if they really use surprise troops to capture Youzhou City, the main force of the Shandong Army will not be able to arrive for rescue in a short time, but the Liao army will definitely come before this. During this period, they have to rely on themselves to defend this Youzhou City. It can be said that taking down Youzhou City is not only a huge honor that is rare in a century, but also a great risky act. Life and death are only between the front line.

As Sun Tu, there is no need to take this risk personally. Because even if Youzhou was taken down by others, he was still the leader of the general.

Faced with the persuasion of everyone, Sun Tu's expression became serious and determined: "I know what you are worried about. Yes, no matter who leads your troops this time, success will be due to me, and failure will be due to me. But for this reason, as the chief general, I cannot stay out of the matter. If this is true, Sun Tu is not worthy of being the chief general of the Shandong Army, and I will be ordered to wait.

"Youzhou is the tragedy of my Han people for a hundred years, and it is also the city I have been thinking about regaining myself for many years. Now that I am so close to this goal, how can I let it miss it? If this is true, even if I make great contributions in the future, I will definitely leave a lifetime of regret.

"And only in this way can we inspire the soldiers under our command to fight to the death. In addition, when it comes to methods and strategies, I am more confident than many of you here, so no one is more suitable to take this trip than me."

Speaking of this, Sun Tu's face showed a smile: "In addition, you don't have to be discouraged. It is because of my leadership that you have the opportunity to achieve this extraordinary contribution. I have decided that this time I will select the most elite soldiers in my Shandong army to go with you. This not only refers to ordinary soldiers, but also to generals such as you. Lin Chong, Dong Ping, Yue Fei, Wu Song..." Every time he reported a name, the general's body was shocked, and his eyes immediately showed an unconcealed sharpness.

Yes, such a big deal, which passionate military man doesn't want to meet the right things? But these generals have their own subordinates, and it is indeed difficult to reach an agreement in the face of war. Only when Sun Tu, the commander of the three armies, led them, can they do it like an arm and fingers, and make everyone follow the orders.

At this moment, almost everyone could not come up with more reasons for opposition. After a while of silence, they finally clasped their fists and said, "We are willing to follow the general north to take back Youzhou to pacify our Han family's century-old wish!"

"Okay!" Sun Tu smiled with satisfaction, and then he turned his eyes to Song Jiang: "Brother Gongming, after all, there is a person in charge in the army, so he can only aggrieved you to lead the army and then slow down. But please don't be discouraged. If you really want to talk about it, your contributions will be great and your responsibility is even greater, because you must try to avoid the Liao army and rush to Youzhou as quickly as possible to help us defend Youzhou together!"

Song Jiang's eyes naturally flashed with a look of loss. But soon, he cheered up again: "What the general said? Is Song Jiang the one who doesn't know how to distinguish between priorities? I should do my best to think that the general's shield!"

"Okay, I'll feel relieved with you." Sun Tu laughed with satisfaction, "Then let's set the relevant details next."

Whether Youzhou can be successfully captured is not only related to the final direction of the decisive battle between the Song and Liao dynasties, but also closely related to whether the Han people can rise again. Therefore, even Sun Tu and the others dare not neglect at all. Naturally, they must have a comprehensive consideration in order to ensure that everything is foolproof.

This discussion took more than half an hour. Everyone expressed their opinions and almost considered all possible changes before the topic was concluded. Then, everyone dispersed at the third day of the day and decided that at noon tomorrow, Sun Tu led 5,000 elite troops to Youzhou. If everything went well, they would arrive at the city of Youzhou in less than two days!

Just when Sun Tu thought everything here had been settled, an angry voice suddenly rang outside the garrison palace: "Let me go! I want to see Sun Tu! I want to ask him why he treated me so much! Dong Kuang, a vain person, treated him as a friend, without reservation. I didn't expect that he would use me like this. Will he still have the face to see me?"

Dong Kuang, this person who was almost forgotten by Sun Tu came to seek justice at this time.
