The fourth more is sent, ask for a monthly pass!

A letter of request for help from the lord of Cangyan City, Wu Yu, was sent to Gaimu City.

City Lord Yang Wanchun watched for a long time, and finally his eyes fell on the face of the messenger, staring at it for a long time, but finally he suddenly drew his sword and stabbed the messenger to death with a sword.

"City Lord?" The crowd exclaimed.

Yang Wanchun pulled out his sword, threw it aside, and said coldly, "Cangyan City has been lost, just look at this letter, the black feather dog thief has already surrendered to Sui like Xuanwu City Lord Wen Shan." ”

A group of Goguryeo civil and military officers couldn't help but feel that the sky was rolling by.

"This Luo Cheng and the Sui army have just taken Cangyan City less than half a day after they got down from Gaimu City?"

There is also humanity, "Shouldn't Luo Cheng go to fight Xincheng, how can he run to fight Cangyan City?" ”

Compared with the important town of more than ten miles around the new city, Cangyan is just a small mountain city, and the location is relatively remote, there are no heavy guards, and there is no large amount of accumulated grain, grass and ordnance.

Some people feel that Yang Wanchun misjudged.

Luo Chengcheng is amazing, how can he have such a ability, say that he will take Cangyan City? With his marching speed, at most, he just arrived at Cangyan City, even if Wu Yu has no backbone, he can't hold it for a moment, and he won't just wait for Luo Cheng to surrender.

"City Lord, what if Cangyan City does not fall?"

Yang Wanchun sneered a few times, "Wu Yu is cowardly and cowardly, who doesn't know?" is just a civilian official, and he doesn't know soldiers at all. Now there are only a thousand old and weak people in Cangyan City, how can he defend it? Again, he and Wen Shan, the lord of Xuansu City, are friends, and they are also from the same family, Wen Shan can descend, and Wu Yu can definitely descend. ”

"There is another one, if Wu Yu really does not surrender, do you think that Luo Cheng is really going to take 10,000 troops to besiege Cangyan City, and he Wu Yu still has a chance to have enough people to send a letter for help?"

"Therefore, there is only one possibility, Wu Yu has already descended to Sui, this letter asking for help is false, in fact, it is to lure us out of the city to help, and then ambush us halfway. I will never fall for this, and I will give an order, and no one shall go out of the city to save me without my order. ”

The officials looked at each other.

In particular, a few officers from Cangyan City felt that this decision was too hasty.

"Or, send someone over to investigate."

However, other concerns have been raised.

"City Lord, although Cangyan City has few small soldiers and does not have a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance, this mountain city is originally a side road leading to the new city from Xuansu City. Now that Gaimu City is strong, but if Cangyan is a little bit, then Luo Cheng will no longer be blocked by us to return home. From Cangyan to Xuansu, it is only sixty miles away, and without going through my Gaimu City, Luo Cheng occupies Cangyan City, so he can bypass our Gaimu City and attack the new city directly, and its grain road and back road are also smooth. ”

This is indeed a problem.

The role of Cangyan City's existence is to hold this side road, and it can be said that if Gaimu City is the west gate of the new city, then Cangyan City is a northwest side gate.

The door is still there, but the side door has been opened.

Luo Cheng now has a large amount of grain, grass, and ordnance in Xuansu City, as well as the mountain city of Cangyan City, and has also captured an important passage.

"Cangyan City must be recaptured!" An officer shouted.

Yang Wanchun gave him a blank look.

"Take what? Now season is not a good season for siege, not to mention that Luo Cheng is now strong and strong, and then relies on the mountain city to take Cangyan City, unless there are tens of thousands of horses, and then cut off the connection between Cangyan City and Xuansu City, and surround him for a year and a half, otherwise, don't talk about retaking Cangyan City. ”

But they don't have these conditions now, so it's actually nonsense to recapture Cangyan City.

In the final analysis, it was difficult for Luo Cheng to capture Cangyan, but the problem was that Yuan Jiantu had transferred the defenders of Cangyan City several times before, and until now, Cangyan City was not only weak and could not be defended, but Xincheng, Gaimu and other cities could not be supported, which gave Luo Cheng an opportunity.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Wanchun finally had to say, "Now that Gaimu City has lost its important role as a barrier to the new city, I plan to leave 5,000 men and horses to continue to garrison Gaimu City, and I will take 7,000 men and horses back to the new city to garrison." Either way, there is no room for failure in the new city. If the new city is lost, then I will not be able to hold the northeastern part of Goguryeo Liao. ”

Cangyan City.

Luo Cheng, Wei Zheng and others were studying the map.

After Yang Wanchun received the letter, there were probably only three options. One, he really brought troops to aid Cangyan City, two, he couldn't see through it, and third, he led troops to reinforce the new city. ”

"Tell me, how are we going to deal with it?"

"Wu Yu said that there are only 3,000 defenders left in the new city, and I think we can take a risk and attack the new city directly." ”

"It's too risky, although there are few soldiers in the new city, but the city is strong and well-armed, and there are many people in the city, and thousands of young and strong people can be summoned to defend the city at any time. In case Yang Wanchun, who built Mu City, comes over, we will have to suffer by then. ”

Luo Cheng doesn't like to suffer.

Sun Tzu's Art of War is a very good book of war, but in this book of war, in fact, it is not about all kinds of strange strategies, not about defeating the strong with the weak and winning more with less, on the contrary, Sun Tzu's Art of War begins with calculations rather than strategies.

Sun Tzu advocated that if you fight a war, you have to fight a regular war, that is, you must calculate more before fighting, first calculate how much you have the winning rate, how to improve the winning rate, and then fight when the winning rate can reach a certain level, if the winning rate is too low, then simply don't fight.

Always thinking about the sword going sideways, although there are occasional successes, but more often they still fail. Now is not the last resort, Luo Cheng, who has tens of thousands of horses, will not easily put himself in that kind of dangerous situation.

"Xincheng, Liaodong, Fuyu and other important towns, let's wait for the arrival of the armies from all walks of life, we are just pioneers, and we are not here to attack, there is no need to take this risk."

Wei Zheng said loudly, "Gaimu City may come to the aid of Cangyan, and it is also possible to defend the new city, so there is a high chance that we will go out of the city, and we may be able to intercept and ambush on the road." ”

However, Cangyan City is in the north of Gaimu, and the new city is in the east of Gaimu, so this ambush can only choose one of the two.

"You say that if Gaimu City sends troops, which side will it choose?"

"It's hard to say, if you don't come out, it's possible to get out of Cangyan and out of the new city."

"But if we are ambushed, we can only choose one of three, and it is impossible to ambush in three ways."

······

Dark.

Camp Trichas.

Yuwen Chengdu came back covered in wind and frost.

"Father-in-law."

"Chengdu is back, what's going on with the thief? But to no avail? ”

"Back to his father-in-law, Luo Cheng led the army to arrive at Gaimu City, but Gaimu City had already been prepared, Luo Cheng sent troops to attack the city, with more than 100 casualties and no success."

When Yu Wenhua heard this, he laughed, "Lao Tzu has long known that this thief really thinks he is omnipotent, and he will always suffer a loss now, hahaha." ”

Yuwen Chengdu waited for him to laugh enough before he said, "Father-in-law, after Luo Cheng failed to succeed under Gaimu City, he led the army to bypass Gaimu and go deeper. Then, he waved his troops to turn north, raided Cangyan City, the lord of Cangyan City opened the city and surrendered, Luo Chengbing captured Cangyan City without blood, and now the whole army is stationed in Cangyan City. ”

The laughter came to an abrupt end.

Yu Wenhua and his face were bruised and terrible, and a pair of eyes stared at the boss.

The next moment, Yu Wenhua and like crazy began to smash the things in the tent, hysterical.

"This can't be, this can't be, this can't be!"

"Father-in-law!"

Yuwen Chengdu waited for him to vent almost before he went over to hug him.

"Lao Tzu lost his troops in Dadonggou, and he Luo Cheng came over to pick up the leaks and grab the merits, so why did he take another city now, why?"
