The darker the autumn colors.

Along the way, everything I saw was gloomy.

The leaves on the roadside are withered and yellow. After the Tang army walked like this for a few days, Xu Maogong suddenly said to Li Yu: "Shengshang, the front is the Tianshui Cliff, this Tianshui Cliff is a shortcut road to Tanzhou, but the Tianshui Cliff is a canyon, and the army marches to it, it is very dangerous

Even if you can get through, the loss will be very heavy. ”

Xu Maogong was a very cautious person, and every time they walked through a place, he would think about the topography of the place, and then make many guesses.

A place like Tianshui Cliff is really an obvious place, and if the soldiers and horses of the Wei State really set up an ambush, it will be very unfavorable to them.

After Xu Maogong finished saying this, several generals next to him suddenly showed disdainful looks.

"Lord Xu, I'm afraid I'm too worried, my Tang army has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, will Wei still dare to go out of the city?"

"That's it, that's it, does Wei dare to go out of the city, I think Lord Xu's worries are unreasonable."

"That's it, Wei Guo can only be scared of a shrunken turtle now, and he dares to go out of the city, it's really ridiculous."

"Ridiculous, ridiculous......"

The generals said this, but Xu Maogong showed a chuckle, as if he was very disdainful of what they thought, or that they were very naïve.

He just glanced at Li Yu.

Li Yu here, his expression was slightly condensed.

Although the capture of Yunzhou City did not make their Tang army have too much trouble, he did not take it lightly, not to mention that on the side of Tanzhou, Sima Yi was still in charge.

Perhaps, others don't dare to rush out of the city, but Sima Yi's words, he is only afraid that he has the courage and courage, right?

As long as an ambush is set up in Tianshui Cliff, the damage to their Tang army is definitely not a small amount.

On the march to war, it is good to be cautious.

"Xu Aiqing is reasonable, the soldiers and horses of the Wei State are extremely likely to set up an ambush in Tianshui Cliff, so in your opinion, what should our army do?"

Li Yu felt that what Xu Maogong said made sense, and when the other generals saw this, they pursed their lips and did not continue.

By this time, others had already begun to have their opinions on how to deal with the situation.

"Saint, if there is really an ambush in Tianshui Cliff, then we will not be able to walk Tianshui Cliff easily, if you want me to say, it is better to take a detour, although the detour is a little slower, but it is safe."

"That's right, that's right, it's safer if it's a detour."

"Holy Lord, it's not impossible to take a detour, but it's not too slow, in case we can't keep up with the speed of other countries, I'm afraid it's going to be a bad thing."

"Don't worry, if my Tang army doesn't go, do you think that Ming and Zhou dare to attack Xudu?"

“…………”

Everyone was talking nonsense, and after listening to their words, Li Yu already understood what they meant.

"In this way, you Aiqing think that my Tang Army should take a detour to avoid danger, right?"

"That's exactly what it means, Holy Lord."

Everyone turned their eyes to Li Yu, and Li Yu nodded: "Since you all Aiqing think that it is feasible to take a detour, then let's take a detour." ”

Li Yu said this, but at this time, Li Jing stood up: "Holy Lord, although it is feasible to detour, it is not the best way. ”

When Li Jing said this, everyone was stunned.

"General Li, why isn't it the best way?"

"That is, if we don't make a detour, we will pass through the Tianshui Cliff, what if we are ambushed?"

"yes, I think it's safer and more reliable for us to take a detour than the casualties."

"That's right, that's right, it's still a good ...... to take a detour"

Everyone didn't think much of Li Jing's words, Li Yu saw Li Jing stand up, and said with a smile: "General Li has any ideas?" Li Jing nodded and said: "Shengshang, if you take a detour, my Datang will have to delay at least five or six days, and if you attack the city, a few days of delay is nothing, but have you ever thought about how much rations do I have for my hundreds of thousands of troops every day, and how many more rations will I have if I waste five or six days?" These rations can sometimes be life-saving, if they are transported from the Tang Kingdom, how much time will be delayed? ”

A shortage of food and grass for a day will make the army unstable, so if you can save time, it is better to save time.

Although the people of the Tang Kingdom have been constantly sending grain and grass to their side, there is also a cycle, and if the cycle can't keep up, it will be a bad thing.

After hearing Li Jing's words, everyone looked at each other.

"What General Li said makes sense, but if you sacrifice the lives of soldiers in exchange for time, I think it's more cost-effective to take a detour."

"That's right, what General Li said can sometimes play a decisive role in the battle, but we can't risk the soldiers being killed to do this."

"Extreme, extreme............"

Everyone agrees with Li Jing's statement, but they don't feel the need for them to do what he says.

However, Li Jing at this time was very calm, Li Yu didn't say anything here, he knew that Li Jing must have other ways.

"Shengshang, there is no need to take a detour, we can also cross the Tianshui Cliff, and we can also eliminate a group of enemy troops, if we eliminate them, my Datang can shorten the time to go to Tanzhou and give the enemy a surprise."

Hearing that Li Jing had a way to have a Tianshui Cliff, everyone turned their attention again.

"General Li has any way, say it quickly, say it quickly."

"That's it, General Li, hurry up......" Everyone couldn't help but urge, Li Jing said: "The solution is very simple, if the soldiers and horses of the Wei State set up an ambush on the Tianshui Cliff, it is willing to be on the top of the cliff, and when we pass by, push down the boulder and hurt our Tang army, if our army can sneak behind them, suddenly launch an attack on these ambushes, and destroy these ambushes, the ambush of the water cliff that day can be lifted, what do you think?" ”

Li Jing's words came out, and everyone looked at each other, if they could really sneak behind the soldiers and horses of the Wei State and suddenly attack the ambush soldiers, this would naturally be a good thing for them.

However, everyone has doubts about the feasibility of Li Jing's method.

"General Li, how can we sneak into the Tianshui Cliff quietly, this Tianshui Cliff is easy to defend and difficult to attack, since the soldiers and horses of the Wei State have already ambushed on it, they must have already guarded the entrance, we have to climb it, it is not easy."

"That is, even if we have hot air balloons, we can't send many soldiers and horses?"

"It seems that General Li's method is still not very feasible." "In my opinion, it's not very feasible, it's better to take a detour, a detour, it's safe, it's very safe......"
