Hiss~

Zhang Xiu and Li Ru climbed the city wall and looked at the black Cao Jun outside the city, and they both gasped.

Two days ago, after winning Leping, Zhang Xiu was out of breath. Excited, Zhang Xiu wanted to take the opportunity to attack Fa Ping (the map I bought was hair stem, but Baidu was Fa Ping, this is the first time I have encountered a difference, and Baidu shall prevail for the time being, so it is also Baidu's problem if it is wrong, it is none of my business), but was stopped by Li Ru.

There are two reasons, the previous Cao army obviously had a problem, if it is not understood, it is likely to be ambushed again, resulting in failure; Second, Xu Huang is not famous, but his strength is very strong, if he takes it together, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents, such as the inside and the outside, if he does not bring it, then the problem is even greater, what if Leping is lost?

In the past two days, although Xu Huang was not taken prisoner, there were always a few Ming soldiers beside him, and they were the ones he had seen in the city before, and at the same time, he couldn't leave the house for too long, and he couldn't contact the Cao army prisoners.

Xu Huang naturally knew why, but when he saw the Ming soldiers beside him, he could only press the table.

However, just after the end of the day, there was a sudden news of the enemy.

Then Zhang Xiu and Li Ru walked up to the city and saw at least 100,000 troops outside the city.

"General! It seems that Cao Ang has a very high status in Cao Cao's heart! I have to put the general to death! When Li Ru said this, there was no smile on his face, only serious, solemn, and solemn!

Zhang Xiu's face became ugly, not that he was afraid of Cao Cao and felt that he shouldn't kill Cao Ang, but in fact he was full of anger: Cao thief, people like you should cut off their children and grandchildren, and they still want to take revenge? you!

"Military advisor, Cao Jun has few soldiers, and it must be the limit to be able to draw out 100,000 people here, you said that if we contain them all here, the other roads will ......" Zhang Xiu hated and hated, annoyed, but was not carried away, but said calmly.

Li Ru showed appreciation on his face and said: "What the general said is extremely true, the Cao army has a total of less than 300,000 horses, and it has lost tens of thousands before, and now it is just over 200,000, and now nearly half of the troops are here, as long as the news is spread to other roads, Yanzhou can be broken, and even Yuzhou can be decided in a battle, and completely unify the north!" ”

Then he frowned and said: "It's just that since Cao Jun dared to come here, I'm afraid it was not just to seek revenge from the general, but also to make all preparations, so the most important thing is whether we can hold here." ”

Zhang Xiu's eyebrows lowered when she heard this, and she glanced at the city wall, which was no more than four feet high, and her heart sank.

Li Ru looked at these in his eyes and said: "Everyone in the world knows that our Ming army is good at attacking, fighting in the field, and the cavalry is criss-crossed, and there is no opponent in the world. However, no one knew that the Ming army's best ability was to defend the city, and once the Ming Duke relied on the benefits of the city and brought thousands of people to stop the attack of tens of thousands of foreign cavalry and won a great victory. ”

"Although the city is small and the walls are low, we have tens of thousands of elites, as long as we deal with it properly, we can not only defend it, but maybe we can also fight back."

"However, the primary problem now is to find out what kind of confidence Cao Cao has to raise troops to besiege Leping, if you don't figure this out, you won't know how to lose the city at that time."

"How do you know that?" Zhang Xiu had some brain twitching for a while.

Li Ru was helpless, just now he saw that his brain was quite useful, why was it suddenly like this?

"Xu Huang is a general of Leping, and he should know some inside information."

Zhang Xiu was overjoyed and said: "Yes, yes, yes, if you ask Xu Gongming, you will know everything." So saying, he ran down the city.

Li Ru looked at Zhang Xiu in a hurry, and wanted to say that it was still a question whether people were willing to say it, but he still didn't say it after that. Looking at Cao Jun, who had gradually retreated, Li Ru had some speculations in his heart, and gave a few orders to the junior colonel guarding the city, and then also went down to the city.

"Komeito, what are you still thinking? If you have anything, just say it? ”

Back at the house, Li Ru heard Zhang Xiu's anxious words, although he felt a little speechless, but he still walked to the door and stopped. First, he was worried that Xu Huang would not answer, which would cause Zhang Xiu to be unable to get over his face; The second is that he doesn't want Xu Huang to answer because of himself, after all, his reputation was not as good as he imagined. This can be seen from the fact that after being captured before, Xu Huang's attitude towards him was not as good as Zhang Xiu.

"General Zhang, this is really embarrassing, Huang has led the troops so far, it has only been more than two months, how do you know what other means Prime Minister Cao Cheng has laid out." Xu Huang smiled bitterly.

"You ......"

Zhang Xiu was angry and said: "Gongming, although it may make you feel sorry for Ming Gong in this way, but if we are really defeated along the way, do you think Ming Gong will really not care at that time?" Even if Ming Gong doesn't care, what about other colleagues? ”

"Besides, the city is broken, will you, the 'captured' general, still be reused when the time comes? With Cao Thief's urine, will he be suspicious? ”

Xu Huang's face was bitter, but he still said: "However, General Zhang, Huang Ben is just a partial general, and he was stationed in Xiangxian (Peiguo Guodu), and it was only before March that he ordered General Zhenwei to lead the troops to garrison here, where can I know what the plan is." ”

"You ......"

Without waiting for Zhang Xiu to get angry, Li Ru pushed open the door, walked in, and said: "Why should the general be angry, Ru Sizhi, Prime Minister Cao Cheng wants to break the city, except for the strong attack, there is only a secret plan left." ”

"Don't talk about the attack, there are only three kinds of secret schemes."

"The first is that there is a secret passage into the city, and then you only need to send enough soldiers into the city, or steal the city gates, or disrupt the city's defenses. But we have a lot of people, and we can go from house to house to search for secret passages. Even if you can't find it, you only need to patrol more, and strictly protect it at the city gate, even if Cao Jun enters the city, it is just a turtle in an urn, and it can be killed at any time. ”

"Second, it is poisoning, or plague and the like, just like Xuzhou before and Baima not long ago. This problem is not big, the city of Leping is not big, and the people in the city are only a few thousand, less than 30,000 people, as long as the soldiers patrolling on weekdays pay more attention, and when there is time to cook, let the military doctor pay more attention to one or two, it should be fine. ”

"Third, it's more troublesome, all we can rely on is the convenience of the city wall, but what if the city wall is gone?"

"The walls are gone? What do you mean? Zhang Xiu was stunned.

Xu Huang on the side was thoughtful, although he looked down on what Li Ru did back then, but this ability was still worthy of admiration.

"What if Prime Minister Cao Cheng had hollowed out the city wall a long time ago, and had to dig it down as soon as the time came?" Li Ru also had a headache when he thought of this.

This is really different from the previous two, to say that the inspection is simple, but it is not a matter of a while, no matter how small Leping is, it is also a city that can accommodate about 100,000 people, and the length of the city wall is more than fifty miles! How long does it take to get the check-up? Even if you do it together, you have to ask for half a day!

It's just a matter of checking, the key is what to do after you find it?

If you can dig up the city wall, it must not be a little bit, and it is not so easy to fill it back! This is called difficult to make, easy to destroy!

After saying this, Zhang Xiu naturally figured out the trick at once, and then frowned and said, "Then don't we do anything?" ”

"Do it or do it!"

Li Ru said in a good time: "No matter what, check and check first, if this is the case, it is better to prepare in advance." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhang Xiu nodded, obviously relieved, but then he remembered the army outside the city, and said, "Cao Jun now?" ”

Li Ru sighed, and didn't know what to sigh again, so he immediately walked away. Zhang Xiu didn't know where he said the wrong thing, why he suddenly ignored him.

It's just that when Li Ru arrived at the door, he suddenly paused and said-

"Temporarily withdrawn, the Cao army is either fearless, or it is to suppress the morale of our army."

Zhang Xiu and Xu Huang had nothing to talk about, and then they both dispersed. However, as soon as Zhang Xiu went to the study and was about to spread the news, Li Ru appeared again.

"Strategist, where are you?" Zhang Xiu put down the pen, and there were many doubts in his heart.

"General, although Xu Huang is a prisoner now, he is also guarded, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be Cao Cao's secret son, so ......"

Li Ru's words stopped immediately, and without waiting for Zhang Xiu to defend him, he changed the topic and said: "Confucianism is here to remind the general that our cavalry can't give full play to its advantages in the city, so why don't you give him a night attack tonight and disrupt his plan......"
