Gao Shun is right, the soldiers and horses of Youzhou have already occupied an advantage in numbers, but when it comes to mobility, the cavalry of the Nanlou tribe can still contain the other party for a while, but the official army is of no use to the cavalry of the Qiuliju tribe.

In the past few days, Gao Shun and they also wanted to use Zhao Yi's method of besieging the Qiangqu tribe to lure Qiu Liju into the city and cut off his grain and grass again, repeating the incident in Guangning County.

However, with the experience of the Qiang Canal, Qiu Liju's marching method is very different from the original, abandoning the city and attacking the countryside, the county seat and this kind of city are a minority in Youzhou, and the villages where the people live are the foundation of Youzhou, if there are no people to cultivate and pay taxes, how can Youzhou develop.

Qiu Liju's move was very insidious, and it hit the weakness of the officers and soldiers at once, and it was also the weakness that the officers and soldiers could not properly protect.

If the people can't get peace, Youzhou will not want to be peaceful. Zhao Yi stared at the map of Youzhou, his eyes flashed, and he didn't think of a good way for a while.

In the past, in response to the attack of the Xiongnu, the powerful Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chose to kill to stop killing, and hundreds of thousands of cavalry killed the Xiongnu so that the Xiongnu did not dare to invade the Han Dynasty and fled to Mobei. However, when Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing were there, they adopted a policy of harmony and proximity in dealing with the attack of the Xiongnu, and accumulated a material foundation for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to recuperate.

In order to deal with the invasion of the Xiongnu, the Great Wall was built during the Qiang Qin period, and the walls were clear, but it was only a defensive posture, which was equivalent to abandoning the land on the other side of the Great Wall, which means that I don't want the land over there, so you can toss it.

But now the situation in Youzhou is very different, Zhao Yi has the intention to annihilate Qiu Li's residence department, but he does not have a strong plan, as for building the Great Wall to resist the soldiers of Qiu Li's residence department, Zhao Yi didn't even think about it.

Zhao Yi has this kind of thinking because of a poem by Zhang Tingyu, a famous minister of the Qing Dynasty, the Great Wall of China is empty, and the heroes of a hundred generations dream of a hundred generations. Think of the Great Wall as useless and empty.

Zhao Yi knows the deep meaning contained in this poem, as long as you have strong strength, those two boundaries are an invisible Great Wall, which is enough to help you block any strong enemy. In other words, his strength is weak, and even if there is a Great Wall, he can't hold the country.

Moreover, the Great Wall cannot be built in a moment, and it requires a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources.

"It's not that our soldiers don't have the strength to annihilate the enemy, but they just lack the means to annihilate the enemy." Zhao Yi's sentence said the crux of the problem.

"My lord is right, the soldiers of Qiu Li's residence rely on the speed of war horses, and before our army comes to us, they lead their troops to leave, so that our army can't find anyone if they want to find them." Tai Shi Ci said hatefully, looking at the people of Youzhou in dire straits, Tai Shi Ci's angry blood surged.

Gao Shun added another point: "General Tai Shici is right, and our soldiers do not dare to go out in small teams, for fear of being annihilated by the enemy one by one, and the actions of the brigade are quite a waste of time, and the flexibility is not enough." Gao Shun sighed, although he had been following Zhao Yi for a long time, he had no way to deal with this matter.

Zhao Yi nodded, what Gao Shun said was indeed good: "Yes, at present, although the soldiers of our department have surrounded Qiu Li's residence between these counties, they cannot be encircled. ”

Now the official and military forces are scattered in these counties, unless Qiu Liju turns to attack the county seat, if he continues to attack the villages, then the officers and soldiers in the city will be of no use.

Gao Shun and the others did not refute Zhao Yi's words, because what Zhao Yi said was the truth, if Qiu Li's residence went on for a long time, then Youzhou was afraid that there would be no peace.

Even though there are more than 100,000 soldiers in the official army of Youzhou, there is no way to face Qiu Li's residence department.

Zhao Yi discussed with Gao Shun and others all morning, but also failed to formulate a strong plan, the soldiers of Qiu Liju were slightly inferior to the Hun cavalry, but the tactics of Qiu Liju were used properly, unlike the stunned young man in Qiangqu, who clashed head-on with the officers and soldiers, so not only did he get few benefits, but also the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

Qiu Liju's tactical change is good, the low village can't stop the iron cavalry of Qiu Liju's residence at all, and the people don't have the courage to resist the Xiongnu, so they can only be like a quail, at the mercy of others.

It has only been ten days since they entered Youzhou, and the allied forces of the Qiu Li Residence Department have already looted a lot of things, food, skins, and of course, women. Qiu Li's residence sang and danced every night, happy and free.

"The only way to win now is to force Chuliju to fight us." Zhao Yi showed a determined look in his eyes, and a desperate battle to wipe out all Qiu Li's residence was the only way to survive in Youzhou.

Zhang Fei slammed his iron fist on the table: "Say, I am willing to be a pioneer." Zhang Fei has been aggrieved for a long time, and the Zhangba snake spear in his hand has long been unable to hold it.

Zhao Yi now has the heart to eat Qiu Liju raw, but this matter is not urgent, even if he wants to fight Qiu Liju, Qiu Liju may not agree to himself.

Annihilation of Qiu Li's residence, Zhao Yi has a lot of confidence, the northern Nanlou tribe is so flanked with himself, Qiu Li's residence will have no possibility of breaking through, but Qiu Liju is not a dead man, he also has his own thoughts, and his wisdom is far above the Qiang Canal, and he has 50,000 male soldiers, and this kind of enemy fights, if he is not careful, he will die without a place to be buried.

Zhao Yi walked back and forth in the hall and asked Gao Shun: "Do you know where the old nest of the Qiu Liju tribe is now?" ”

Gao Shun pointed to a place on the map: "According to the exploration horse, the old nest of Qiu Liju is now in this place. ”

Zhao Yi compared the map and secretly said that Qiu Liju's movements were really fast. In such a short period of time, he actually moved his people out for nearly a hundred miles, and they had already reached the interior of the Xianbei tribe.

Su Li's department and Kebi can attack and kill for many days, and their strength is seriously depleted, even if he sees Qiu Li's residence department moving his troops to his territory, he is powerless.

Zhao Yi showed a gloomy gaze in his eyes, and greeted Tai Shici: "The general leads the soldiers and horses of Liaodong vassal states and Liaoxi County, and must arrive here within three days." ”

Tai Shici immediately understood Zhao Yi's thoughts, Zhao Yi wanted to use a plan to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle and destroy Qiu Liju's lair. Avenge the people of Youzhou! "Don't worry, my lord, the last general will definitely kill the Qiu Li residence to the ground." Tai Shi said hatefully, and when he turned around and was about to go down, he was stopped by Zhao Yi.

"General, please stay." Zhao Yi stopped Tai Shici and explained his plan with a wry smile, "I asked the general to go to the Qiuliju tribe, not to let the general destroy the Qiuliju tribe, but to take the opportunity to force Qiuliju to leave Youzhou. ”

Zhao Yi just wanted Tai Shici to make a move to attack the tribe, so that Qiu Liju could return to the rescue, and when Qiu Liju rescued, he stabbed Qiu Liju fiercely on the way.

If the Qiuli Residence is annihilated, the crazy Qiuli Residence soldiers may not do anything drastic. Let such an enemy lose his mind, and the people of Youzhou will have a hard time.

Tai Shici nodded when he heard Zhao Yi's words, indicating that he knew Zhao Yi's strategy.

"The general can deliberately slow down his pace during the march, so that the Qiu Liju people will be aware of it, and it can also provide them with time to ventilate and report the news." Gao Shun added.

Qiu Li's residence department took a full ten days to complete this matter when the official army Xinsheng relaxed his vigilance. Even if he got the news that Tai Shici's army had arrived, he was afraid that he would not be able to evacuate.

Zhao Yi nodded: "General Gao Shun is reasonable, the general can act like this." After seeing Tai Shici leave, Zhao Yi ordered someone to hand over Wen Chou and Gongsun Du to the hall.

The two have been in the army for a while, and after such a long time of training, the temperament of Wen Chou and Gongsun Du has changed significantly compared to before.

Especially Gongsun Du, who was unusually promoted by Zhao Yi from a small leader, because of his performance in Liucheng, he gained Zhao Yi's respect, which made Gongsun Du even more grateful to Zhao Yi.

Both of them were exceptionally promoted because of Zhao Yi's importance, and their respect for Zhao Yi can be said to be written on their faces from their hearts, and they bowed to Zhao Yi: "The last general will meet your lordship." ”

Zhao Yi nodded, looking at the two people who were beaming, he nodded secretly in his heart: "The performance of the two generals in Liucheng, the official already knows, I wanted to come back from the capital to celebrate the two generals, but some people just can't get used to our peace." When he said this, Zhao Yi shook his head and sighed.

Wen Chou is a reckless man who can't understand Zhao Yi's thoughts, but when Gongsun Du heard Zhao Yi's words, he understood Zhao Yi's thoughts, and before Zhao Yi could speak, he took the initiative to ask: "Do you want the two of us to carry out the task?" Before Zhao Yi could say what he wanted to do, Gongsun Du added: "As long as the adult gives an order, he will not hesitate to go to the end of the fire." ”

Seeing that Gongsun Du was loyal, Wen Chou also hurriedly bowed down and said, "The same is true for the last general." ”

Zhao Yi looked at the two of them and nodded: "The official really didn't misread the two of them, and he didn't hide it, but the official has something to hand over to the two." Saying that, Zhao Yi pointed to Goguryeo in the east, "I want to ask the two generals to lead the official army of Liaodong to attack Goguryeo and force the cavalry of Goguryeo to come back." In this way, the matter of Youzhou can be solved perfectly. ”

Gongsun Du did not hesitate and immediately agreed: "Please rest assured, my lord, the last general will do his best to assist General Wenchou and attack Goguryeo." ”

Zhao Yi shook his head slightly: "No, this time, you are the main general, and Wen Chou will be your deputy." ”

Hearing this, Gongsun Du was startled, and his arms trembled a little: "My lord, the last general has not commanded the officers and troops of the brigade, I am afraid that the fighter will be delayed." ”

Liu Bei next to him secretly said that Zhao Yi's move was too rash, and using a general without any combat experience to lead the soldiers would not put the army in a dangerous place, he wanted to persuade Zhao Yi, but seeing that all the generals in the hall did not speak, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

It is implicitly said that Zhao Yi has great prestige in the Youzhou army, and everyone obeys Zhao Yi's orders.

Zhao Yi smiled when he heard this: "What's wrong with this, isn't this the first time this official has been a Youzhou pastor?" Then Zhao Yi stared at Gongsun Du with burning eyes, "I believe that the general can do this." ”

Gongsun Du saw that Zhao Yi valued himself so much, and he didn't shirk anymore, nodding and agreeing: "The last general will definitely not disappoint the general." ”

Seeing Wen Chou and Gongsun Du walking out of the hall, the corners of Zhao Yi's mouth showed an unfathomable smile, Qiu Liju, Goguryeo, I want you to come and go.
