After saying that, these old generals turned on their faces and said, "There is not much time left for us. Although in terms of military strength, we are far superior to them, but the elusive King of Chang'an makes me feel very dangerous, and the temptations of these days have also deepened my judgment, and now it is not a big victory to win. So this time we have to make a detailed plan, not only to minimize casualties, but also to play with momentum,"

Zhan Ziming said: "Why is this? Could it be that the enemy is not the only one?"

The old general said, "Yes, after this battle, no matter whether we win or lose, it will be a big loss to our vitality, and the Liao State next to us is already ready to move." If we win, our army's morale will be great, and if we lose against the Liao State, we will have to retreat for at least five years. And five years later, it's even harder for us to reclaim the territory. ”

After Zhan Ziming heard this, he also pondered for a while and then asked, "Then what should we do now, grandpa?"

The old general thought for a while and then said: "Now our biggest advantage is the number of troops, which is stronger than those miscellaneous armies of Chu State, and after careful calculation, they only have 100,000 regular troops, which is still some combat power, and the remaining 200,000 are all surrendered troops of my Song State, as long as we can defeat the Chu army." Recapture some cities, and those surrendered troops will naturally have the heart to return home. At that time, in the next notice, we said that they could be pardoned for treason, but it must be exchanged for the heads of the soldiers of the Chu State, and if there were many heads, not only could they be saved from all their sins, but they could also have heavy rewards, additional officials, bounties, and fiefs. What do you want, what is there, if someone can kill it, the king of Chang'an will be immediately named the prince with a different surname. You can also choose one of the king's princesses to become a colt, and the future will be just around the corner. ”

Of course, the king did not know about these benefits, and they were all thought of by the old general himself. When I first passed the current hurdle and then played the king's decree, I was a little hesitant when I thought of my relationship with the new king, and it would take at least six days to pass the letters, and if the king agreed, it would be fine, but if he did not agree, then he would have wasted six days of precious time, and at that time he would be in a dilemma.

After thinking about it and gritting his teeth for the last time, he decided: "Let's say this first, and then we will go to meet the Holy Master when we win.

Zhan Changqing also said nervously: "Grandpa, the king already has a lot of suspicions about you, if this matter is known by the king, I'm afraid it will be more difficult for you to do it in the court in the future, so it's better to play Your Majesty first." And then how about you do it?"

"No," the old general sighed and said, "Your Majesty's decree has clearly set the time. If we don't win at that time, although we won't be in danger of our lives, it will be extremely detrimental to the future development of our warlord, and now that the new king has ascended the throne, the situation is unstable, and any mistake will be extremely unfavorable to us. In the past, I was too good-looking, and I really couldn't pull my face to explain anything to the prince. Now, even if I want to explain, I have nothing to say, after all, so much time has passed, and it is a little late to say anything, so I can only take one step at a time. ”

Zhan Ziming was also shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect that the matter was so serious, his Zhan family was already walking on a tightrope, and any matter could become the last straw that broke the camel's back. Seeing that Sun Tzu had realized the seriousness of the matter, the veteran general said to him: "Okay, this is all a matter for the future, now go and call all the generals above the commander of ten thousand masters, and we will discuss a battle plan, so that we can defeat the enemy army in the remaining seven days,"

Zhan Ziming agreed, and then withdrew. It didn't take long for the eight generals to assemble in the old general's camp. At Zhan Ziming's level, he was not qualified to participate in this kind of meeting at all, but when he just wanted to quit, he was left by the old general. The veteran generals naturally knew what the generals thought, and they were afraid that this young man would have such an expression if he had an unstable heart and leaked secrets. But for the sake of the old general's face, he acquiesced in the matter. The old general smiled gratefully.

Seeing that everyone was seated, he began to say: "I think everyone must know the holy decree this time, right? Now if you have any ideas, let's see how we can defeat the enemy." ”

One of the big men stood up and said, "I don't think it's better to use the advantage of numbers to directly attack them and completely destroy them."

This person's name is Zhou Hu, and he is a powerhouse of the fourth-layer realm. Its own strength is outstanding, and it has countless military exploits, and it is deeply valued by the old generals. Although he is lacking in strategy, he is really brave when it comes to rushing into battle. Hearing his words, everyone was also silent for a while, and did not support or oppose it. Seeing this, Zhou Hu also knew that this plan would not work, so he didn't say much and sat back in his chair and looked at the old general quietly.

After a while, another person said: "General, I have a plan," the person who came was Cao Yi, the general of Fuyuan, who was in his fifties this year, but he was well maintained, and he looked like he was in his thirties. First, send an army of 300,000 to meet the enemy head-on. Slowly advance and then the remaining 500,000 troops will be surrounded from other directions, and when the encirclement is closed, the suspicious soldiers in front can become the main force to block the enemy's breakthrough. If they want to run, these 300,000 troops can also contain their speed, and finally be surrounded by us. At that time, we can besiege and persuade to surrender, of course, it is better to persuade to surrender, so that we can have sufficient troops to resist the pressure of Liao, and the Chu side will also be quiet for a while because of this defeat. However, what the last general is most afraid of is that if we win, then Chu and Liao will inevitably form an alliance and join forces to attack us, and then we will be under great pressure. But once we are defeated, we will not need Liao, and the Chu army will come to attack. The new king will definitely make us look good, so whether we succeed or fail, we are in big trouble"!

When everyone heard his words, they all fell into deep thought, and then shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and the old general saw that everyone's mood was not high, and then said: "Okay, don't be so pessimistic. When the time comes, if we win, even if the two countries are allied, and we have this Shenmen fortress, they will not want to take a step beyond the hinterland of our Song Kingdom, and the alliance between the two countries will definitely not be long. It is the distribution of interests between the two countries, so that they can fight first, so why should such a loose alliance be feared?"

Everyone also nodded again and again, and then the old general smiled: "General Cao's proposal is very good, which can not only save troops, but also surprise, everyone has a better idea, if not, we will start preparing according to General Cao's proposal." “

After thinking about it, there was no better way at the moment, and they all agreed to this plan if it was safe, and then the old general ordered them to prepare, and after five days, march, and on the sixth day we would take them.

And Feng Xiaotian's side, on the one hand, he is busy with the affairs of the people, and on the other hand, they are also closely observing the veteran generals, and they must report any changes at any time. However, this kind of large-scale battle often involves hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people, and if he forcibly investigates, it will be the fate of millions of people. This is what Heaven does not tolerate, and the first few times I have already made myself a little unlucky. That was the original seamless siege plan, and suddenly there was an accident. He didn't even see his own future, so much so that he lost thousands of soldiers, and this time he didn't know what would happen?

But at the moment, he doesn't have any good ideas, and when he heard about the big victory here, the king of Chu has begun to prepare his troops. Another 400,000 troops were gathered to support Feng Xiaotian, and Feng Xiaotian was very happy about this, after all, there are many people and great power.

Then, on this day, Feng Xiaotian and the generals were discussing in the tent, and suddenly someone from outside reported that "the Song Kingdom, the country has changed greatly, the old king has just died, and the new lord has succeeded to the throne. ”

Feng Xiaotian had already known about the previous news, but he didn't expect it to reach a holy decree, and at this time, a general would stop doing it after hearing it. He said angrily: "Even with their waste, they want to attack us within seven days, it's a dream." “

Everyone was also annoyed, and they all shouted and scolded, but Feng Xiaotian didn't make trouble with them, just raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then said: "Zhan Changqing, this person, you must be careful with your old plan, so everyone will go back first and prepare for each other, in case they sneak attack?"

Everyone replied "yes" and left one after another, and after everyone left, he began to use the reincarnation of the Guanshi Pupil to deduce the heavenly machine, but as soon as he looked at it for a while, the sky changed color a little, and the original eyes were empty, and suddenly gloomy, and even some muffled thunder echoed. He knew that this was the heavens who were dissatisfied with his prying eyes, so he hurriedly collected his merits, and thought that when he was busy for a while, he must refine a treasure that deceived the heavens to protect himself. Then he looked at it again with reluctance, and put away his supernatural powers. When he put it away, the sky became eye-catching again, and Feng Xiaotian could only smile helplessly at this, after knowing the enemy's battle plan. Feng Xiaotian planned to take down the Shenmen Fortress in one fell swoop.

Then he asked someone to prepare the arrangement, and he also began to study the weakness of the Shenmen Fortress, and in the blink of an eye, five days passed, outside Feng Xiaotian's base camp, there were already 500,000 troops within a hundred miles, forming a siege, blocking all the possible ways for him to escape, and still moving forward slowly, intending to capture them alive, and the old general on the other side ordered the horses to monitor them day and night in order to take down Feng Xiaotian in one fell swoop, and found that they were not aware of it and relieved, and then poured out of the nest and approached from the front. A big war is inevitable. The old general also felt a little sorry for his soldiers, although he also understood the reason that Ci was not in charge of the army, but at this time, sadness was inevitable, and they would win this one. In the future, the Liao Kingdom will not let go of this good opportunity. After this turmoil, how many people will be able to return to their hometowns to see their relatives?

After walking for a while, he felt that something was wrong, it stands to reason that he had been walking for so long, why didn't a single Chu soldier see it? If it was normal for the sentinel to run back and forth several times, but why is it not today?

At this moment, a team of several people appeared far away from the old general, which made the veteran Jian breathe a sigh of relief, because it was obviously the Chu army's horse exploration team, and it seemed that the Chu army should have just discovered himself. Thinking of this, he ordered the army to speed up its march in order to match the actions of the other armies, and in this way marched more than fifty miles. But he hadn't seen the Chu army come out to meet the enemy, and the old general was also puzzled and didn't understand what the hell Feng Xiaotian was doing.

Then he ordered the detective horse to go and investigate. After a while, Tanma came back and reported: "In the tent of the Chu army, the figure flickered, but it did not come out to meet the attack, but put on a defensive appearance. ”

When the veteran general heard this, he was overjoyed, and then ordered the whole army to speed up and surround them, and sent a signal to order all the armies to speed up the encirclement.
