"Report, Qu Tutong is calling for battle outside the city again!"

In the Qianyang Palace, a black-armored man hurriedly entered and shouted loudly.

At this time, there was a large group of people sitting in the main hall, most of them were generals of the Wagang army, and some of them were rebels of the Sui Dynasty who had newly surrendered to the Wagang army.

I saw that the black-armored man hurriedly reported and left, but the hall was in a noisy discussion.

"It's been this hour, why hasn't the young marshal come yet?"

Wang Bodang said with a frown.

Shi Huaiyi sat next to Wang Bodang, and when he saw him asking, he leaned over and said in a low voice: "The young marshal was in retreat last night, and he specially sent someone to explain that if he hasn't come out of the customs by noon, let me and others discuss a strategy to retreat from the enemy." ”

Shan Xiongxin happened to hear these words on the other side of Shi Huaiyi, so he said, "Why don't I know about this? ”

Shi Huaiyi turned his head and said: "The young marshal was in a temporary retreat, and he was in a hurry, so he only had time to inform me, I thought about waiting until noon to tell everyone, but just now Bodang asked, and I also said it in passing." ”

Shan Xiongxin asked: "Did the young marshal say that who will command the defense of Luoyang?" ”

Shi Huaiyi said: "Of course there is." ”

"Who?" Shan Xiong said.

"You." Shi Huaiyi smiled: "And me." ”

Shan Xiongxin said: "The two of us? Do you listen to me, or do I listen to you? ”

Shi Huaiyi said: "Naturally, you listen to me." ”

"I don't believe it, there's no way the young marshal will let me listen to you." Shan Xiong said.

Shi Huaiyi said: "I can't help you not believe it, the young marshal's original words are that I am the positive, you are the deputy, and you have to listen to my decision in case of major events!" ”

Hearing this, Shan Xiongxin immediately lowered his face.

Shi Huaiyi smiled: "Don't have a black face, Lao Dan, it's a big deal to listen to you for small things, and listen to me for big things, hehe!" ”

"Hmph." Shan Xiongxin hummed and didn't speak.

Uncle Wang said: "Is the young marshal really in retreat? How can you retreat at this juncture? ”

Shi Huaiyi shook his head slightly and said: "I don't know, the young marshal has always wanted to play one out and one play, and it is difficult to guess his thoughts." ”

Cheng Biting Jin smiled and played: "Noon is coming soon, it seems that we can already welcome General Shi to his seat in advance?" ”

After speaking, he glanced at the dragon chair on the seat meaningfully.

Shi Huaiyi rolled his eyes and said: "You bite the gold and you come to make fun of me again, I don't dare to sit on this chair, and the young marshal among us is qualified to sit down, and the rest of us don't have this blessing!" ”

After a pause, Zhengse said: "Okay, let's talk about business, Qu Tutong came to call the battle again, it's not a way to avoid the battle all the time, do you have a good way to break the enemy in your hearts?" ”

Everyone was silent, and the scene was silent.

Shi Huaiyi looked at them one by one, swept around everyone's faces, and finally set his eyes on Shan Xiongxin.

Before Shi Huaiyi could speak, Shan Xiongxin said lightly: "Don't look at me, you are right, I am deputy, in the final analysis, you have to figure out how to do it yourself." ”

Shi Huaiyi smiled and said: "Don't say that, Lao Dan, you have always had a lot of ideas, if you can't think of a way, who can have a way?" ”

"Don't come to this set, you're trying to kill me, right?" Shan Xiongxin squinted.

Shi Huaiyi said: "How come, am I that kind of person? You know me, I just want to break the enemy as soon as possible, if you have any good plans, you must tell the truth! ”

Shan Xiongxin said in a deep voice: "Qu Tutong is a veteran of the battlefield, and he is by no means an ordinary easy to match, and it is not easy to get a bargain on him." ”

Shi Huaiyi said: "But this old thief has repeatedly called for battle, if our army has been holding out, wouldn't it prove that my Wagang army is afraid of him Qu Tutong?" ”

"You can't think like that, why does Qu Tutong insist on calling a provocation? It's not because he didn't dare to lead his troops to attack Luoyang, he couldn't defeat Luoyang City with his army alone, he knew this better than us in his heart, so he wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, as long as we didn't accept it, we would already win! Wang Bodang said.

"Bodang has a point." Cheng Yanjin said: "There are more than four large armies in this battle, conservatively estimated at least 200,000 people, and our army has only 40,000 soldiers, most of them are still soldiers and recruits, and our army has no advantage in terms of numbers and combat effectiveness. ”

Shi Huaiyi said: "If you say this, you all tend to stick to it?" Yingden, what do you think? ”

Seeing that everyone was looking over, Xie Yingdeng muttered: "Although it is safe to hold on, it is not the most advantageous strategy. ”

"Oh, so what strategy do you think is the best?" Shi Huaiyi asked.

"Decisive battle!" Xie Yingdeng spit out two words heavily, and then said slowly: "In a decisive battle with Qu Tutong's main force, while Qu Tutong's reinforcements have not arrived, our army has the strength to confront Qu Tutong head-on and decide whether to win or lose!" ”

Shi Huaiyi smiled: "Great, finally someone agrees with me." ”

Wang Bodang said: "You also want to fight?" ”

"Of course I want to fight, why not?" Shi Huaiyi smiled with a smile, "As long as you can eat Qu Tutong, the siege of Luoyang can relieve at least half of the pressure!" ”

Uncle Wang said: "But have you thought about it, what if you lose?" ”

Shi Huaiyi clenched his fists and said: "Of course I have thought about this, if we are defeated, our army will inevitably face greater pressure to defend the city, but even if it ends in a fiasco, Luoyang City will never fall easily, don't forget that we have weapons and armor, we can pull strong Ding to defend the city at any time, and refuse to defend the city with the height of Luoyang City, as long as there is no accident, we can defend it for a year and a half casually!" ”

Shan Xiongxin said: "No, it's too risky to do this, I believe that if the young marshal is here, he will definitely not agree to you doing this!" ”

Shi Huaiyi said: "You are wrong, no matter whether the young marshal is here or not, he will do it, because this idea was originally proposed by him......"

"What?" Shan Xiongxin interrupted: "The young marshal brought it up!" Are you serious? ”

Shi Huaiyi rolled his eyes and said: "Of course it's true, can I lie about this?" ”

Shan Xiongxin said suspiciously: "But didn't you say that the young marshal was in a hurry to retreat last night, how could he mention it to you?" ”

"You don't care about this, now that noon has passed, I am the positive, you are the deputy, you have to listen to me!" Shi Huaiyi's official frame is very authentic.

Shan Xiongxin frowned, he originally wanted to get to the bottom of it, but when he saw Shi Huaiyi say this, he didn't want to say anything, who let the official level crush people to death?

On the side, Wang Bodang observed his words, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, he noticed that Shi Huaiyi lacked confidence when he spoke, and it seemed that he was not telling the truth.

Sending troops to defeat Qu Tutong in a decisive battle, is it really Li Changhuan's meaning?

Wang Bodang was skeptical.

But suspicion is suspicion, he is a newcomer, and he can't do anything he wants to say or do.

"I hope I'm thinking too much......"
