Liu Lan, accompanied by a group of generals, went to the nameless mountain peak to observe the enemy's situation.

The morale of the enemy army was not high, but such a group of defeated troops with no morale at all repelled three attacks organized by Guan Yu in succession, and staged a drama of mourning and victory.

After observing the enemy's situation, he made a decisive decision to terminate the general attack that Guan Yu had arranged before.

There are several factors, first of all, this group of routs is all besieged in this nameless mountain, which is already a turtle in the urn, and then going to storm is just a senseless sacrifice, and secondly, the enemy army is short of food and grass, even if they don't do it in a few days, they will be finished, as for this last point, it is also the most critical point, it is a proposal from Bai Xuan on the road, a bold proposal to seize Xiangping City, this plan makes Liu Lan's heart moved, so after confirming that the enemy army in the mountain range cannot pose a threat, Liu Lan returned to the camp to convene the generals for discussion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is no longer a problem for the remnants of Yangyi to be besieged by our army on this nameless mountain, and I plan to take Xiangping directly in the next step, I don't know what everyone thinks about attacking Xiangping, let's talk about it."

Just like Guan Yu said at the beginning of the war, in the war with Gongsun Du, if you win, you will gain a firm foothold in Liaodong, and if you lose, you will have nothing, but with the trend of the war, everyone has suddenly found that they have the strength to counterattack Xiangping, and even the capital of the king in Liaodong like Gongsun Du, so it is not strange for Sima to say that he will attack Xiangping at this time, especially Guan Yu, the reason why he is in a hurry to destroy Yangyi is to be able to attack Xiangping with all his strength, but Sima's siege without fighting made him instantly think about it, and said: "Sima, Do you think Gongsun Du will send reinforcements to come, so he will surround but not fight? The purpose is to wipe out the reinforcements coming from Xiangping? ”

After Guan Yu finished speaking, he sank his eyebrows again. Not without worry, Xiangping sent 50,000 troops. How many more reinforcements can be sent from within the city? Guan Yu was sure that it was impossible for Gongsun Du to send reinforcements anymore, but when he thought that Sima was coming with Bai Xuan and Jin Guang, the two of them knew the situation in Xiangping City well, perhaps this was the reason why Sima came to the front line again, and it was also the reason why he surrounded but did not fight, because Xiangping still had the strength to send reinforcements.

Almost all of them were guessed by Guan Yu, Liu Lan thought about encircling the point to send reinforcements, but he learned from Bai Xuan that Gongsun Du would definitely not send reinforcements, not because Xiangping had no reinforcements to send. But Gongsun Du will never take risks again, that is, in a word, if he only has Gongsun Kang defeated, he will become a frightened bird, let me ask if the 50,000 army is defeated, he still dares to send the only more than 30,000 people to save Yangyi?

With Gongsun Du's temperament, at this moment, don't say that it is to save the yang, even if Gongsun Kang will never send another soldier.

"So it doesn't work to encircle the point and send reinforcements." Guan Yu stroked his long hair, his eyes narrowed slightly, and everyone present was silent for a while. If it doesn't work to encircle the point and send reinforcements, then you can only storm Xiangping, but the result of attacking Xiangping is likely to be just like Guan Yu's analysis of Gongsun Kang's attack on Xinchang at the beginning, and now Xiangping City still has the possibility of self-protection. Moreover, it is the seat of the county, whether it is the population or the ordnance, money and food, it is far from being comparable to Xinchang, and once it is attacked, Xiangping will not be captured. The only way to do this is to withdraw before winter.

But the real difficulty is that Xinchang City is short of money and food, otherwise Tian Chou would not have been sent to buy grain. Now with Baekhyun and their refuge, there are twenty or thirty thousand more people at once. At that time, even if Tian Chou returns to Liaodong with grain, he will not be able to survive this winter, and it is Liu Lan who gathered everyone together to discuss the strategy of breaking Xiangping, and he can now be said to be forced to a dead end.

"Xiangping must be broken no matter what!" Like a roundworm in Sima's stomach, Zhang Fei jumped up and ordered: "Sima, I am willing to be a pioneer and take Xiangping directly!" ”

Liu Lan glanced at Zhang Fei and motioned for him to sit down first, if the strong attack could really break through Xiangping, the soldiers were fast, he would have sent troops a long time ago and would not gather everyone here to discuss countermeasures, and after Zhang Fei sat down, Liu Lan said abruptly: "Xiangping is the county of Liaodong, although the city defense is more difficult than Xinchang, but the thickness of the city wall is not inferior to Xinchang, and there are 30,000 or 40,000 defenders in the city, although most of them are county soldiers, but if they really want to attack, with our current strength may not be able to take it, even if it is taken, it will pay a heavy price for casualties." ”

"What Sima said is good, five attacks and ten sieges, now our troops are full of battles and are only on par with the Xiangping defenders, if we really attack, we will pay an extremely heavy price as Sima said, this is not what we can afford now." Xu Huang spoke up and said: "Our family background is thin, and after the battle of Xinchang, we are almost seriously injured, and if we really want to attack Xiangping, we can only outwit and never attack." ”

"Outwitted?" Liu Lan immediately came to his senses, his eyes stared directly at Xu Huang, and the latter smiled very faintly, or his smile was so helpless at the moment, Xinchang's lack of food was not a secret to their generals, although they couldn't say it directly in front of Bai Xuan and a few people, but they all understood the eagerness to attack Xiangping, at this moment, Xu Huang had to say a way that was not a way.

"Fraud?" When Liu Lan heard the word fraud, he immediately understood what Xu Huang was going to do, this plan is not bold, but the danger also comes, if there is a mistake, the result is almost the same as Gongsun Kang, Liu Lan shook his head, and even said: "No, it is too risky to do this, the risk is too great, if Gongsun Du has received the defeat report, it will be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger." ”

Since Xu Huang proposed a plan to defraud the city, he was actually asking him to deal with it with all his powers, how could Liu Lan be willing to let this Wuziliang general in another time and space take risks. Not only Xu Huang, but everyone else is the same, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and he can't bear to go to such a dangerous thing.

"Sima, Gongming's plan is feasible." Guan Yu and Xu Huang had been making eye contact before, and with the tacit understanding of the two, they naturally understood each other's intentions, especially Guan Yu, who was especially good at the Mojia offensive and defensive deduction, and immediately affirmed Xu Huang's strategy, and the reason why the latter would propose to deceive the city was because he liked to deduce battle formations since he was a child, although he had an ancient style, he could use the ancient for the present, so after looking at Guan Yu, he told Sima his thoughts, which was also the reason for proposing this plan: "The speed of defeat in the battle of Xinchang is very rare, and Yangyi is besieged on this nameless ridge, There is no time to send the defeat document to Xiangping, and even if there is, it is a report document for the annihilation of the mine army, so the last general dares to be sure that the current Gongsun Du does not know the news of the defeat of the fair army, and when some scattered defeated troops arrive in Xiangping, the sun will set at the earliest, so the most important point of the strategy of deceiving the city is to grab time with these routed defeated troops, and to enter Xiangping City before they do! ”

"That's why you came up with the scam?"

"Exactly."

Liu Lan thought about it, this plan is not perfect, not to mention ten percent sure, not even fifty percent, no one thinks that Sima will agree, the risk is too great, but what no one can expect is that Liu Lan finally agreed to this bold decision! (To be continued......)
