Chapter Forty-Seven: A Leisurely Siege

When Liu Yun became savage, the atmosphere of the bandits was still decent.

Gai Xun took the soldiers and horses to meet Liu Yun and went to a place, and watched Liu Yun scolding with his arms crossed.

Seeing Liu Yun's mouth flipping up and down, it was a crackling scolding, Gai Xun couldn't help but nod again and again.

It's really a witty remark and a clever tongue!

Although he couldn't understand some of the words, it was enough to have the momentum of the scolding array.

When Liu Yun finally took a breath, Gai Xunce immediately stepped forward and took the opportunity to say: "Lord, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it's not a good strategy!" Their cowardice has become haste and wisdom, and we cannot go up to the city, nor will they dare to come down. But all the time, they have the advantage of strength. ”

Liu Yun was also a little worried, after losing some troops, these grandsons had now completely become Wang Ba.

The scolding was so ugly, and after scolding for so long, a wave of arrows was shot in the city like a frightening person, and then there was no movement.

After thinking about it in his heart, Liu Yun said: "Then let's rest for a while, after running around for so long, even if people are not tired, they are tired!" I don't believe they're not hungry. ”

"Lord, Ma Wan went up to Baishi Mountain with a small number of remnants, if General Wang can't catch this person, he will definitely find a way to return to Didao City, why don't you send cavalry to patrol the left and right." Gai Xun got off his horse and said to Liu Yun.

Liu Yun walked in the direction of the government with his hands behind his back, and said, "Gai Lao looks at the arrangement, if you can catch the horse and play, it will naturally be a good opportunity." But if you can't catch it, you don't have to force it, let's find another way to clean up these grandsons in the city. ”

The heavy armor made a rattling sound with the movement of his footsteps, and Gai Xun said with a smile: "It seems that the lord has a plan in his heart!" ”

"Not yet, I'm thinking about ......" Liu Yun turned his head to look at Gai Xun and said with a smile.

Gai Xun suddenly stopped, his eyes full of majesty and wisdom were half-narrowed, he lowered his voice, and said to Liu Yun: "Lord, in fact, the last general has a bold idea, why don't you take Poqiang, Lingju and other places first?" Summoning Jiang Zheng to lead the army as the vanguard, the last general is second, and he can drive straight into the north of Liangzhou for a long time. ”

Liu Yun's eyes suddenly lit up, "Han Suitun's military horses in Jincheng and other places are inseparably fighting with Pang De and Ma Chao, and the army that intends to take the two counties of Longxi and Hanyang is also a defender drawn from Poqiang, Dunhuang and other places, and the rear must be empty!" ”

That's right, in fact, Han Sui's deployment is still very clever, with a praying mantis catching cicadas in one hand, and the yellow finch behind, he caught Ma Teng off guard. It has already been placed on Ma Teng's side, just waiting for the current dynasty to be in trouble, and Ma Teng's defeat is really a reasonable thing. However, Han Sui did not calculate the arrangement of the lord, and made a move to trap the 50,000 army in Di Dao City. ”

Gai Xun analyzed Han Sui's plan in detail, and then said: "The battle between Han Sui and Pang De and Ma Chao is difficult to tell the winner in a short period of time, the total strength of the two sides is as much as tens of thousands, in this Liangzhou land, this is a large-scale war that rarely breaks out!" And this happens to be the opportunity given to the lord to base the northern land of Liangzhou in one fell swoop. ”

Liu Yun was really moved, he didn't originally think about the place to the north, after Gai Xun's analysis, this seems to be a really rare opportunity.

The only problem was that it was contrary to his original plan.

As long as he captures Didao City, Liu Yun can weave Hanyang County, Longxi County, and Caohan into a piece, which is convenient for defense and later development.

The land of Caohan is dominated by grassland, which is the grazing land that Liu Yun has planned for a long time, and will garrison soldiers and horses to specialize in grazing.

In Liu Yun's plan, the cattle needed for farming, the war horses for the army, etc., will come from there in the future.

The land of Longxi has fertile soil, rich specialties, and is suitable for survival, and it will be the main grain producing area in the future.

In addition, it connects the silk arteries and connects the Longsang Chengfang City of Bashu.

In Liu Yun's calculations, it should become a commercial distribution center in Liangzhou.

Hanyang, where Liu Yun's base camp is located, should become an industrial zone in the near future.

These two counties, such an arrangement, are probably unsatisfactory.

Liu Yun didn't dare to say how good it could be, but it would definitely be many times better than before.

But in the north of Liangzhou, what can be done there?

Regardless of strategic intentions, Liu Yun still cares about the stamina of these places.

"Gai Lao, what do you think will happen to this Didao City?" Liu Yun asked while pondering.

Gai Xun obviously already had the answer in his heart, so he said directly: "If Ma Yu escapes by chance, he will definitely return to Di Dao City and pick up the trilogy again!" This is one of the things that goes without doubt. And Han Sui sent such a large army from the north of Liangzhou to the south, his fundamental intention must not only be to capture Di Dao, he stockpiled grain in Baishi City, obviously prepared for a protracted battle, and the destruction of Ma Teng's department was his primary goal, and secondly, it should be the lord. ”

Liu Yun took Gai Xun's words and said: "So Ma Wan will definitely overcome Longxi, Caohan and other places in one fell swoop, and then try to annex Hanyang County, right?" ”

Gai Xun nodded and said: "Although Ma Wan suffered a defeat in front of the lord and lost thousands of people, the foundation still exists, and with more than 20,000 men and horses in this Didao City, Longxi County is simply at your fingertips." ”

"That's right! Today's Longxi is probably even more empty than the cities in the north of Liangzhou, such as Zhipo Qiang and Lingju. Not to mention that there are more than 20,000 troops, even a few thousand, and they can easily get down these cities in Longxi. Liu Yun raised his eyebrows slightly and said.

It's a tough choice!

At the moment, except for Di Daocheng's bones, which are difficult to gnaw, the others are actually easier to gnaw.

But Liu Yun just got on the bar with this difficult bone, and there was an inexplicable obsession in his heart.

Gai Xun saw that Liu Yun was still hesitant, so he continued: "Lord, seizing the northern land of Liangzhou is the best policy!" Regardless of the dispute between Han Sui and Ma Chao and Pang De, who loses and who wins in the end, he only needs to win the four cities of Poqiang, Lingju, Xiping, and Guzang, and Han Sui can cut off the contact between Han Sui and Xicheng, Zhangye, and Jiuquan, making it difficult for them to take care of each other. ”

And if Han Sui is defeated, he will have no way to go, but to take advantage of the road to join the wolf, lead the defeated army to the north, and join forces with the generals of Dunhuang and other places to trap the place outside the pass. And if he wins, he can only lie dormant in Jincheng, or go east to Chang'an, and have an affair with Dong Thief. ”

Liu Yun chuckled lightly and said, "As soon as your best strategy came out, I couldn't help but think of Zhuge Liang!" This dragon and phoenix are about to be born, and I am still looking forward to it. Gai Lao, what about the next step? ”

"The lord has mentioned Zhuge Liang many times, and the old man is also very interested." Gai Xun joked with a smile and said, "There is also a middle strategy!" ”

Liu Yun kicked away the wooden planks scattered all over the ground, found a clean place on the stone steps, sat down, and said, "Okay, okay, then you talk about the middle strategy first!" ”

Gai Xun took out the skin bag from his arms, poured two sips of wine, touched his mouth with a comfortable face, and said: "Lord, this middle strategy is to overcome the cities of Longxi, recruit troops to hold on, and then wait for the opportunity to eat Di Dao, and drive horses to play with more than 20,000 soldiers and horses." The war in Yuzhong is like a puddle of troubled water, and the horse play is a lonely army all the way, and there should be no reinforcements. ”

Liu Yun smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that in Gai Lao's opinion, seizing Di Dao City is the next step!" ”

Gai Xun didn't say a word, which was probably equivalent to acquiescence.

This answer really surprised Liu Yun, "Then why didn't you stop me before?" Without saying a word, just follow me! ”

Liu Yun looked at Gai Xun and was a little depressed, this old boy probably regarded him as a second comparison.

Gai Xun stretched his slightly stiff arm and said, "Lord, I asked a little earlier, and at first I thought that the lord had a good plan to play with the horse. ”

Liu Yun snatched Gai Xun's wine bag and poured two sips of wine.

He needs to sober up now, this old guy's secret style of doing things is really unbearable.

It's probably the hindsight of the Eight Classics, this has already entered Di Dao City, and it is really bad to say that this is the upper, middle and lower three strategies for Liu Yunxuan.

"Actually, it's not that Di Dao City can't take it, it's just that the method is too despicable!" Liu Yun said with a low sigh.

Gai Xun looked at Liu Yun fiercely and asked softly, "Is the lord planning to ...... Slaughter the city, right? ”

"That's not it, this kind of thing is against heaven and earth, and I can't do it. But it is still possible to drive the people out of the city, clear the wilderness with strong walls, and set fire to the city. Liu Yun said word by word.

The timidity of playing these parts really opened Liu Yun's eyes, but at the same time, he had to admit that they were very clever in doing this.

They forced Liu Yun to a dilemma, looking at Di Dao City in front of them, it was like chewing wax.

But if there is a more arrogant captain who leads his troops to surround it, Liu Yun's original plan will succeed nine times out of ten.

The wine bag returned to Gai Xun's hand, and he said indifferently: "But the lord will not do this, they will definitely shoot the people and prevent the people from leaving the city, and Liu Fujun, who loves the people like a son, is the most unsightly of this kind of thing." ”

"So, just wait and see if they bite the hook. If they do not take the opportunity to surround us before dawn, they will withdraw their troops and take the small town of Angu first. Liu Yun leaned closer to the fire, tilted his head up on the stone steps, and looked at the starry sky in a daze.

Gai Xun took a sip of wine and said, "It seems that the lord has chosen the middle strategy!" ”

"Nope! I chose all three strategies, Ma Teng and Han Sui used almost all their forces to fight in Yuzhong, and now we are the only ones who can mobilize troops and have troops to adjust. Then why don't you take advantage of the fire to loot and take everything you can? At that time, I will divide 10,000 troops, which should be enough to defend the northern land of Liangzhou, right? Liu Yun said with a hint of laziness in his voice.

In a warm environment, sleepiness gradually comes.

The sleepless nights and days in a row made Liu Yun a little flustered, and his brain was not so good.

Fortunately, Gai Xun's subordinates have enough spirits, otherwise this battle would be really difficult.

Thinking of this, Liu Yun suddenly turned over with a bone, stared at his reddened eyes and asked, "Gai Lao, do you think they are tired?" ”

"What?!" Gai Xun was stunned by Liu Yun's sudden startle.
