At the camp in the west of the city, after the army returned to the camp, the morale of the soldiers was not very high. They all hung their heads and looked depressed.
Liu Feng ignored the army and called Dong Cheng, Dong Gai, Deng Ai, Yan Xing, Huo Jun, Zhang Jia, Jia Xu, Liu Ye and other generals into the Chinese army's tent for discussion.
After entering the account, everyone sat down separately.
After sitting down, Liu Feng glanced at the generals, and his expressions were not very good, especially Dong Gai and Deng Ai, the two generals who led the attack. [
"Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. Besides, this is not a defeat. It's just that the Wei army is elite and the city is too strong." Seeing this, Liu Feng laughed.
After a pause, Liu Feng continued: "We can't just let the Han army be strong and not let others be strong, right? That would be too overbearing."
Liu Feng's words were somewhat interesting, but they also cheered up the generals' hearts, and their faces suddenly looked much better.
"General, this stone is too strong. What should we do next?" Their faces improved a lot, but the generals began to think about what to do next. They couldn't just ignore it and ignore it.
Right? Thinking about it, Dong Gai asked aloud.
"Since we can't attack, we can only besiege it."
Liu Feng already had an answer to this question and said with a smile.
"But are our troops a little smaller?" Dong Gai frowned and asked after hearing this.
The Art of War says, besiege it tenfold.
Now, the Han army only has 108,000 elite soldiers, but there are 60,000 elite soldiers in Liangcheng, which is less than double.
This cannot be besieged.
"If Guo Jia wants to break out of the siege, let him go. If Liang County is lost, Jiyin County cannot be saved. Gu will lead an army and besiege Dong County. When the time comes, it will be the time to decide the ownership of Yanzhou. There will be a big battle and heavy losses.
, it doesn’t matter.i^" Liu Feng was still prepared, he said with a smile.
Liu Feng retreated really calmly and had already thought of his next move.
He was unwilling to expend troops for Liang County, but it did not mean that he was unwilling to expend troops for Yanzhou. Because once Yanzhou was captured, Cao Cao's provinces and counties would be further reduced.
It is beneficial to the overall situation.
"promise."
Dong Gai heard the words and agreed.
"Appease the soldiers and carry out the siege. Let's see how long Guo Jia can hold on." Liu Feng took a deep breath and shouted.
"promise."
The generals agreed with a bang and went down to appease the soldiers.[
Soon, only Liu Feng, Jia Xu, Liu Ye and others were left in the big tent.
"General, this siege may not be able to be encircled. In the end, I'm afraid it will still take a big battle to solve the problem." After everyone left for a long time, Jia Xu said.
"I also have this hunch. After all, the troops are too few." Liu Feng sighed after hearing this.
They, father and son, had the world under their control, but they did not go out of their way to engage in military force and implement benevolent policies. They first benefited the people and then started fighting in the world. This, they, father and son, had a clear conscience.
But I didn't expect that people like Cao Cao would take control of them, and it would become their weakness.
"How many more soldiers do we have in the field?" Liu Feng suddenly asked.
"As for the field soldiers, there are probably 40,000 to 50,000 more." Liu Ye thought for a while and said.
In the previous fights, Liu Feng had never encountered such a difficult situation, and he had only enjoyed great victories one after another.
These heart-warming victories often brought Liu Feng many surrendered pawns. Liu Feng used these surrendered pawns to farm.
Produce food to support the world's conquests.
Later, with the rise of granaries such as Jingzhou, Yizhou, Hanzhong, etc., the existence of these field soldiers became of little significance.
Later, Liu Feng conquered the Qiang people and harvested countless Qiang women. Therefore, Liu Feng issued an order to ration them to the soldiers in the field.
Let them take off their armor and return to their fields, becoming ordinary Han people.
Therefore, after the fighting until now, Liu Feng's field troops not only did not increase, but actually decreased.
As Liu Ye said, there are only 40,000 to 50,000 people left.
"I'm going to the emperor to select five good generals and 30,000 elite soldiers to command the army. It's time for us to increase our military strength. We can't let others look down upon us," Liu Feng said.
"Although they are field soldiers, they have some foundation. But after all, they have to face the powerful Wei army. If they are too weak, they may not have much effect and will become a drag. And training elite soldiers requires a long time, even a year and a half. Yes.
Isn’t it too late?”
Liu Ye asked.
"It's okay, all we have now is time." Liu Feng said.
This reminded him of his previous lofty ambitions. He was to dominate the world before the age of thirty, and enjoy the world after the age of thirty. But now he is only in his early twenties and has plenty of time.
"promise."
Liu Ye saw that Liu Feng had no such problem with time, so he agreed.[
Immediately, the two said goodbye and left.
"The 18th Route Army, plus the 5th Route Army, and the 23rd Route. Now, there are 138,000 elite soldiers. It is almost the same as the entire Cao Wei army. If you don't believe it, you can't destroy it.
You Cao Mengde."
After the two left, Liu Feng suddenly became fierce and said.
This time, it was true that he retreated calmly. But this does not mean that Liu Feng is not angry in his heart. His calmness is just an expression.
The Han army was blocked, and Liu Feng's heart ached.
Cao Mengde.
…
Just when Liu Feng was gnashing his teeth at Cao Mengde, Guo Jia's battle report was passed over the city wall by his soldiers, avoiding the Han army, and then passed on by fast horse, quickly arriving at Jiyin County.
Like Liang County, the county seat of Jiyin County is called Jiyin City.
The city is also ten feet high. Looking from a distance, the majestic momentum is extremely shocking.
Compared with the situation inside and outside Liang City, where the Han and Wei armies were confronting each other, with a murderous atmosphere rising into the sky. Although there were 60,000 Wei troops entrenched in Jiyin City, they were quite harmonious.
What a harmonious bunch.
At this moment, it was noon. Cao Cao, Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun, and Dong Zhao, surrounded by dozens of armored soldiers, were patrolling the city wall.
Along the way, Cao Cao was very serious.
Finally, the group stopped in the south of the city.
Cao Cao looked to the south, where Liangcheng was.
"I wonder what happened to the fighting in the south." Cao Cao said to himself.
Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun and Dong Zhao were speechless.
The Han army was so strong. Even if they wanted to boost their morale and say that the Wei army would definitely be able to defend the city, they couldn't do it.
Because that's tantamount to lying, blushing.
"Da da da."
But at this moment, there was the sound of horse hoofbeats. Immediately afterwards, a fast horse appeared, it was the soldier with the battle report.
"Good news, good news from the south. The Han army attacked the city for a while and then retreated. The army blocked the Han army's attack." Then, a loud roar spread throughout the city gate.
Suddenly, Cao Cao was moved.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao burst out laughing, an earth-shattering laugh.
