Chapter 70: Retreating from the City

Seeing this, Zhao Yun, Chen Zhi and the others thought about it, but they were still a little unclear, and immediately asked again: "I hope Your Majesty will make it clear!" ”

wanted to compare with the generals, but the strategist Deng Zhi was quietly half-squatting to the side, not knowing what to do.

"I intend to abandon the city walls and move the defense line of the large army to the city, and then lead the Wei army into the city, and harass, hinder, and even kill them through guerrilla tactics."

Hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned, this plan seemed to be a little too risky, leading the Wei army into the city, it seemed that there was a chance, but once something went wrong, the entire Yangping would fall at that time, and Yangping Pass would be played by Liu Chan alive.

It seemed to know that they would not easily agree, Liu Chan did not expect to be able to make them resolutely implement it without any doubt at first, so he had to speak again: "Our army is small in number, and the generals are even more physically and mentally exhausted, at this time it is a little unwise to fight head-on with the Wei army, and the Wei army has twenty cupola cannons, and repeated bombardment will only increase casualties for our side, if our army sneaks into the city and leads the Wei army into the city, there will be both Shu army and Wei army in the city at that time, Cao Zhen will not dare to use the cupola cannon at will, so as not to hurt their own people." ”

Shrinking aside, as if with a hidden BUFF, Deng Zhi raised his hand and touched his chin, with a thoughtful look on his face. As the prime minister said, Yangping is very important, and there is no room for the slightest mistake, and what Liu Chan is going to do now is a little too risky, and even Deng Zhi can imagine that if the prime minister is there, it is estimated that he will definitely not allow it.

But here's the problem, it's him and not the prime minister who is here now, the prime minister can stop it, it doesn't mean that he can stop it, his eyes flashed with a flash of inspiration, Deng Zhi said lightly: "Your Majesty, Rong Chen dares to ask, has Your Majesty considered all aspects of this plan?" ”

"Bo Miao, I have thought about this matter, since the outbreak of the battle of Yangping, under the order of Zilong, the people of Yangping have been safely evacuated to Hanzhong, and now in Yangping, there are only two armies of Shu and Wei, there are no people, and the houses in the city are also ownerless, and although Yangping is small, it is enough to accommodate 10,000 households, when the Wei army enters the city, our army will be divided into zero, a group of several people, and cooperate to give full play to the advantages of our army's individual strength stronger than the Wei army, so as to give the other party a major blow!"

Deng Zhi still thought for a moment, and did not reply immediately, and there was no change on his solemn face.

Looking up and looking at Liu Chan, Deng Zhi seemed to have made a decision, and said: "Your Majesty has a bold idea, but there is a great possibility of success, but some things must be arranged in advance, after all, Yangping must not be lost!" ”

"I wonder if Bo Miao has any questions?"

After thinking about it, Deng Zhi said slowly: "The minister has three questions, one of them, Your Majesty said to retreat to the city, what should our army behave in front of the Wei army, is it a defeat or other reasons that cause us to have to give up Yangping?" After all, Cao Zhen is not simple, and it is not easy to deceive him! ”

Yes, Cao Zhen is naturally not simple, after all, this is not a romance, Cao Zhen is by no means a fool, but now it is the real Cao clan of the Wei State, a heavenly jade pillar, a mountain that suppresses Yongliang, hearing this, Liu Chan couldn't help but think.

Seeing that Liu Chan recognized the problem and thought deeply, Deng Zhi couldn't help nodding slightly, and continued: "Second, our army retreats into the city to hide, so will the Wei army definitely attack in a big way?" No! With Cao Zhen's character, he will definitely be suspicious, because we defended too hard before, and now that the reinforcements have arrived, we should have held it for a longer time, how could we give up easily, so he will not enter the city in a big way, but will send a front army into the city to find out, what will our army do at that time? ”

"If the Wei army really sent a group of soldiers and horses to explore the way, our army will be difficult to hide, and can only fight, because it is just to listen to the situation, so the number of soldiers and horses will naturally not be too much, and our army can naturally be easily eaten, but once Cao Zhen knows that our army is only withdrawing into the city and has not given up Yangping, he can completely make the army move forward, shorten the distance of the cupola, bombard the city of Yangping, and bombard the city of Yangping, so that our army has no place to hide, and then send troops into the city at this time, so that our army has to fight head-on with the Wei army."

"Since the start of the war, although the Wei army has suffered a lot of losses, Cao Zhen still has nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and they are fighting face-to-face. I'm afraid that Yangping will really fall at that time, and His Majesty's life will also be worried! ”

Listening to what Deng Zhi said, everyone also retreated, they already felt that Liu Chan's plan was a bit risky, but now that they heard Deng Zhi's careful analysis, they felt even more whimsical, but because of His Majesty's face, everyone didn't dare to show it easily, just leaned there quietly, waiting for Liu Chan to make his own decision.

In fact, Liu Chan was also a little speechless at this time, he never expected that Cao Zhen would force so tightly, leaving them no room at all, fighting during the day, lighting torches at night to continue fighting, three batches of taking turns to fight, not giving the Shu army a chance to breathe, but the effect is indeed very significant, if he didn't arrive in time, Yang Ping is afraid that he will really lose, and Zhao Yun is afraid that his life will not be guaranteed.

Now after listening to Deng Zhi's words, Liu Chan also felt that his ideas seemed to be a little too unreliable, but he had no choice but to humbly ask Deng Zhi for advice: "Does Qing have a good plan?" ”

Seeing Liu Chan's attitude, Deng Zhi didn't dare to hold it up, supported Liu Chan, and said with a humble attitude: "For the first question, Your Majesty still needs to show up!" ”

"Need me to show up?" Liu Chan was a little surprised.

"That's right, you need Your Majesty to show up, although Your Majesty has great talent, but Wei and Wu don't know, seeing Your Majesty appear in Yangping, seeing such a scene, you retreat out of fear, although there are ministers who try to persuade you, but you can't persuade Your Majesty to withdraw from the army!"

Hearing this, several black lines appeared on Liu Chan's forehead, and after a long time, he understood that this was to use his cowardly and incompetent infamy to make them think that he forced them to withdraw from the army. However, this Deng Zhi is also very powerful, and he didn't say it explicitly from beginning to end, but he had already conveyed his meaning to Liu Chan.

"For the minister's second question, there is no need to worry, if Cao Zhen only sends a former army into the city to find out, then we will only kill this army of soldiers and horses, there are fewer others, less losses, and at the same time, the greater the success rate of our army, in short, how many people he sends into the city, how many people we will kill!"

"But in this way, we have spent so much effort to solve them alone as the vanguard? What if they later bombarded Yangping as Qing said, so that everything in Yangping City would be reduced to ruins, and then attack the city? ”

"Whether it is the destruction of all the Wei troops in the city, or Cao Zhen's order to withdraw the troops, Your Majesty must order the troops in the city to move closer to the city wall, the Yangping city wall is nearly ten zhang high, and the texture is solid, no matter how the Wei army bombs, the foot of the city wall must be the only absolutely safe place in the city! When the Wei army stops the bombardment and chooses to capture the city, His Majesty can order the soldiers to go to the city, close the city gates, and defend it again! ”

"But... But in this way, what is the purpose of our army's tossing in vain? At first, his idea was to use the guerrilla tactics of his previous life, so that even if the Wei army entered Yangping Pass, it would not be able to rest peacefully, and then it would not be able to go south again, as long as the Wei army did not pass Yangping Pass, it didn't matter whether it entered the city or not.

But after listening to Deng Zhi's analysis, he felt that there was no need to implement this idea, but he wanted to do so, and he wasted such a big setback, just for a small team of the Wei army, at most a team of a few thousand people?

It seemed that Liu Chan was unknown, Deng Zhi smiled and said: "In this battle, although our army can only kill more than 1,000 Wei troops, it can win fame and morale!" ”
