The information of the Shu people's military attack was quickly transmitted back to Liangzhou City. Dong Wen, who was sitting on the throne, was stunned for a moment and was so angry that he wanted to curse.
Sima Xiu frowned, and there was a sense of disbelief on his face.
"Military, how dare you, how dare the civilian thieves! Cutting down more with less is still winter cutting!"
Sima Xiu pondered for a moment, "The matter of supporting the Xun tribe must have been planned in advance. There may be some internal support from Xu Buyi in the Liangzhou area."
"Internal response? Could it be that he is the disciple of some military strategist?"
Sima Xiu shook his head, "Xu Buyi is not favored by the family, and it is unlikely that the master will take advantage of the family. I think it is very possible that Yu Dangwang, who is in conflict with the master, is very likely. Furthermore, Yu Dangwang is here
While he was fighting against the Lord, he was also at odds with the Fuxun tribe."
"Oh, military advisor, you can't be so slow anymore. Look, look, Xu Buyi has already issued a petition to beg the traitor! Damn it, people in the world should understand, and people in Liangzhou should also understand. I, Dong Wen, have a righteous and filial piety, so how can I kill my father?
Kill brother."
Sima Mao moved his mouth and finally changed his topic.
"Xu Buyi wants to make a surprise attack. Even if my lord dispatches troops now, it will still take several days. In addition, the march schedule will not catch up with the best time to rush for reinforcements. This is why there will be a proclamation to appeal to the world.
The reason. Wenlang City and Lucheng in the south of Liangzhou should be Xu Buyi's goals."
Dong Wen forced himself to calm down and said, "Military advisor, there are still 20,000 people in Liangzhou. We can send 20,000 advance reinforcements first. If not, I, Liangzhou's 8,000 fine cavalry are still there, and we can rush to rescue them."
"Inappropriate. If the number of people is small, they will be eaten by Xu Buyi. The method of encircling a point for reinforcements has been extremely difficult to crack through the ages. Even if the two cities fall, the lord will have to wait until a large army is gathered before recruiting reinforcements.
"
"If one of these two fortified cities falls..." Dong Wen did not dare to think that this would be equivalent to a foot that stepped on dog shit and suddenly stepped into his clean house.
"Even if the city gate is captured, the lord still needs to gather an army." Sima Xiu repeated, his voice getting deeper and deeper.
"When fighting Xu Buyi, you cannot follow his strategy and get in step by step. I suggest that your lord do the opposite."
"Doing the opposite?"
Sima Xiu nodded, and his fox eyes became sharp, "The Shuzhou army has come out. With Xu Buyi's temperament, he will definitely have some back-ups. After he knows about Qidao, the mountains outside Chengdu should be hidden."
With an ambush army, we will protect Chengdu."
"The military advisor means..."
"Invade Chengdu." Sima Xiu closed his eyes, "With the Fuxun tribe, my lord, stop worrying about gains and losses. Please admit your mistake directly to King Fuxun and marry a son of the Dong clan to him -"
"Military advisor, how can I, the royal family of Shangzhou, marry with a foreign tribe? Besides, what happened this time is not my fault in Liangzhou."
"If my lord continues to care about it, the army on the western border will not be able to quickly return to support. Xu Buyi's Shu army will also come to the city. At worst, after the war is over, my lord will settle accounts in the autumn. What we have to do now is to stabilize and support
Looking for an ally from the tribe."
Dong Wen gritted his teeth and trembled slightly.
"I already have a plan for the invasion of Chengdu. If I add another plan, Xu Buyi's defense line in the mountains will be like a fake one." Sima Xiu frowned, "At that time, Xu Buyi has only two choices. One is to continue to attack.
Liang. Second, return to aid Shuzhou. In this case, the common people in the world who care about the common people will choose the latter. Either dispatch reinforcements or return to the court with troops."
Dong Wen breathed a sigh of relief in silence, "Military advisor, in this way, the crisis in Liangzhou will be relieved."
"No, it's a plan. My lord has mobilized all his troops to hold back the Shu army. If his home is lost, not only Xu Buyi, but also the soldiers of Shuzhou will return to fight tiredly. At least 30% of the Shu army can be killed, and Xu Buyi's spirit will be destroyed."
Dong Wen finally looked moved.
"Commander, please tell me, what is the new plan?"
"My lord, don't be impatient. This plan is extremely dangerous. I need to plan before taking action. Before that, after my lord gathers an army, he needs to block the Shu army head-on."
"Let me catch the disease in Liangzhou, and then take advantage of the disease to cut down in winter, my lord."
…
It was just dawn, and a general on the top of Lucheng City was looking nervously into the distance.
"Shu, Shu people besieged the city——"
…
The horns of horns that filled the sky to wake up the army began to ring throughout Lucheng.
"Hoo, ho."
Under the mist-shrouded sky, groups of Shuzhou infantry marched in a neat square formation and began to press towards the city gate step by step.
"Besiege the city!" An old soldier of the Xu family, General Bi, raised his head and raised his sword. His face became a little ferocious due to the long roar.
"My lord has an order to surround three towers and trap Lucheng!"
"Shunnan camp, go around the east gate!" Dou Tong was riding on a horse, wearing armor and holding a sword, leading 15,000 men and horses, pointing to the front.
"Shuxi camp, run to the south gate!" Fan Lu was not to be outdone. He also led an army of ten thousand people and rushed to the south gate of Lucheng with the sound of "stomp" footsteps and the clang of robes and armor.
Ximen only buried 3,000 ambushes.
Xu Mu rode on General Feng and took charge of the main camp. With an army of nearly 20,000, he pushed the phalanx forward and took a roundabout approach to the north gate of Lucheng.
"Although Lucheng is a flat city, it is located in the Gobi on the border of Liangzhou and there is no moat." Jia Zhou walked out of the carriage wearing a large cloak.
"As the first battle to resist the invasion of Shu, the city has high walls and thick walls. We feel like we are surrounded by a turtle."
Xu Mu fastened his cloak and stood next to Jia Zhou. The two stood side by side and looked towards Lucheng ahead. According to the plan, if he wanted to successfully implement the strategy of encircling the point for reinforcements and capture the second city, then this time, he would first
We want to cripple Lucheng.
Lucheng is defended by 20,000 troops, and it will not be easy to capture it.
"The general who defends the city is called Rong Gong. He is about thirty years old. Like me, Chen Zhong from Shuzhou, he has defended for a long time and has meritorious service. Of course, compared to Chen Zhong who is good at guarding, Rong Gong is worse."
"I remember back then." Jia Zhou turned his head and looked at Xu Mu beside him, "When my lord entered Shu, it was so difficult for a small number of troops to attack Banan City. But now, my lord is making progress step by step, and he already has an army marching south and north.
The fighting army follows the lord to attack the city and plunder the land."
Xu Mu nodded. He has always believed that war is a game between strategists and strategists, rather than a show where smart people laugh at fools.
"Compare your hearts to your own. If I were the guard of Lucheng, I would divide my troops at the four city gates and stick to them. When my lord was in Muyunzhou, he used the ingenious strategy of Yi Bingjia, but it doesn't work now."
Back in Muyun Prefecture, he was mostly lucky. An army from an aristocratic family with embroidered pillows arrived, but he took advantage of it and blocked news of reinforcements.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the same strategy, such as encircling a point to recruit reinforcements, has to use another method to be effective.
"Lord, we can take advantage of this battle."
"Wenlong, how can we take advantage of this situation?"
Jia Zhou bent down, picked up a handful of sand from the ground, and scattered it in the wind.
