"This official came to you to ask you what to do, not to hear you talk nonsense!"

Zhu Wen slapped the case angrily, like a tiger in an angry rage, and no one dared to take the initiative to touch his moldy head.

Sometimes, however, there are things that you can't just avoid.

Seeing that all the generals in the council hall did not dare to speak, Zhu Wen's eyes were cold, and he swept over everyone's faces, and for every time he swept one, one more quickly bowed his head.

Zhu Wen's heart became more and more gloomy, his eyes turned around, and finally fell on a bearded general in the front row of everyone.

"Adult ......"

Seeing Zhu Wen looking over, the bearded man's heart trembled, so he had to speak hard: "Humble and lowly privately think that the imperial court's Shence army is menacing and imposing, and it is not appropriate to face each other head-on, so it is better to avoid its edge for the time being." The Art of War: One Blow, then Decline, Three and Exhaustion. When the offensive of the Shence Army slows down, it will not be too late for our army to take the initiative to attack. At that time, give the Shence Army a head-on blow, so that they can know how powerful our Xuanwu Army is!"

Zhu Wen had a cold coffin face: "It's easy to say, then you tell me how to avoid its edge and slow down the morale of the Shence army?"

"This ......"

The bearded general was stunned, looking like he was meditating, which made many people next to him laugh secretly.

Zhu Wen snorted heavily, his face softened slightly.

In fact, he just wanted to find someone to vent his anger, and few of the people who could become a warlord in a feudal town in this era were fools, not to mention that Zhu Wen also usurped the Tang Dynasty and established Houliang in the official history.

The Shence army is like a bamboo, and it has become an established fact to take down half of the Xuanwu army's sphere of influence, and Zhu Wen knows in his heart that it will not be easy to regain territory from the Shence army. Now I think more about how to block the enemy's attack, otherwise at this rate, it will be a matter of time before Bianzhou falls.

Bianzhou is his base camp, if it is taken by the Shence army, at that time, he will be the envoy of the martial arts, won't he become a lost dog? Where is there still a place for him to live in the world?

Instead of passively waiting for the Shence Army to come to the door, it is better to think of a way to fight back.

Zhu Wen's brows were furrowed, his face was tense, and he looked more and more gloomy. The people below were silent one by one, not daring to make a slight movement.

After a long time, Zhu Wen rubbed his swollen eyebrows, and his tone was slightly desolate: "Where is the army of the Shence Army now?"

The bearded general hurriedly said: "According to the report of the Tanma, after capturing Mi County, the Shence Army temporarily stopped its attack and rested in Mi County, and did not see any next plan. ”

Zhu Wen asked again: "What do you think will be the next target of the Shence Army?"

The generals looked at each other and said cautiously: "If you guess correctly, it should be in charge of the city." ”

"Do you want to manage the city?" Zhu Wen's face became gloomy again, and his brows furrowed.

(Guancheng is probably within the scope of Zhengzhou in later generations)

Donggi, Guancheng, and Bianzhou, these three important places were originally on the same line, adjacent to the Yellow River, and Guancheng was also one of the major towns in the Xuanwu Army's sphere of influence.

In short, no matter what, this time the city can't be lost again!

At least we can't be like Donggi anymore, the Lord will run away without a fight!

Zhu Wen's eyes swept over the generals below: "Are you sure that the Shence Army will be blocked outside the city?"

The generals hurriedly lowered their heads again, silently chanting "Don't look at me, don't look at me" in their hearts, so angry that Zhu Wen almost wanted to call someone to pull out this group of guys and cut them all.

A bunch of rubbish!

What do you want?

In the end, it was the bearded man who said: "If Dengfeng is not lost, maybe you can use the terrain and dangerous checkpoints to stop the Shence Army, even if you can only block it for a while, you will not let the other party take it so easily." It's a pity that Dengfeng fell too quickly, and it didn't give us a chance to deploy troops at all. ”

"What's the use of talking about that now. The more Zhu Wen listened, the more angry he became, so it was better not to say it.

It's all to blame for Zhang Quanyi's waste, if he hadn't retreated without a fight and relied on Luoyang to defend the city, how could the Shence Army take so many county towns so easily!

Thinking of that bastard, Zhu Wen really wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

"Wuning and Huaixi, leave some of the necessary soldiers to defend the city, and the rest are all transferred to Guancheng! Coupled with the army of Bianzhou headquarters, I don't believe that the Shence army can still break through the defense of Guancheng, unless they can grow wings and fly into the sky!" Zhu Wen thought for a while and gave an order.

"Yes!"

No one dares to object, this is probably the only way to do it at the moment. At present, everyone is a grasshopper in the same boat, and only by advancing and retreating together can there be hope of survival.

"Ten will surround it, five will attack it, and if it is doubled, it will be fought, and the enemy will be able to divide it, and if it is less, it can be defended, and if it is not, it can be avoided. This is Zhu Wen's usual strategic thinking over the years, but now he is facing the Shence army, and the enemy is much stronger than the ordinary feudal forces and peasant uprising armies, and it cannot be guessed with common sense.

"If you can't win, maybe you can only retreat to Wuning. Zhu Wen sighed in his heart, he didn't say this to anyone.

However, he still has another little secret hidden in his heart, that powerful master may be able to help him turn the situation around.

The order was issued, and soon 30,000 soldiers were gathered from Bianzhou, Wuning, Huaixi, and 10,000 people, with a total strength of more than 40,000 people, known as 80,000 troops, and gathered in Guancheng.

This battle can be said to gather the attention of the forces of the world's feudal towns, and in this era of smoke, it can be regarded as a large-scale battle.

The strength of the troops dispatched by both sides is comparable, the strength of the Shence army is 50,000 on the surface, and the Xuanwu army claims to be 80,000 but is actually 40,000, but the victory lies in defending the city and occupying the geographical advantage, and it is difficult to say which will win or lose.

……

At the same time, Shence is in the army.

Li Xun, Liu He, Zhou Wu and others have successfully converged, and they are also discussing the matter of attacking the city at this moment.

Liu He, who has always been known as a Confucian general, said slowly in the face of the map: "It was too easy to take Donggi Dengfeng and other places in the early stage, and most of the reasons were due to Zhang Quanyi's personal escape without a fight, coupled with the rapid attack of our army, and it took many important towns with the momentum of thunder. During this period, there were not too many head-on collisions with the Xuanwu Army. However, by now, presumably Zhu Wen had already reacted and sent heavy troops to intercept him. According to the news of the spies ahead, Zhu Wen mobilized more than 30,000 soldiers and horses this time, although it is not as exaggerated as claimed, but it should not be underestimated, you must not take it lightly!"

Li Xun nodded: "This is natural, but I have also discovered recently that the hearts of the people in the army are indeed a little impetuous, and Brother Liu still needs to do a good job in ideological work." ”

"Brother Li is right, a certain province can get it!" Liu He nodded. Now he is in charge of the ideological education work of the whole army.

On the other side, Zhou Wu said: "This time, Zhu Wen will dispatch troops to Guancheng City, presumably other places will definitely defend the emptiness, can you make a fuss about this?"

Li Xun and Liu He glanced at each other, and their eyes lit up.

"What Brother Zhou said is extremely true! But we still need to send spies to find out, so as not to fall for the enemy's tricks. ”

"And rightfully so. ”

“……”

Three days later, the Shence army came to take charge of the city.
