When Yang Xiu asked like this, the several generals beside him all looked at each other, and then couldn't help but bow their heads at the same time, and no one spoke.

After all, the 80,000 elite pioneers led by Xu Chu, who was known as the god of war in the territory of Wei, lost nearly half of them in the hands of the enemy, so in the absence of Yang Xiu, who was the main general, and Zhang Liao, who was the most outstanding in his service, naturally no one dared to say his thoughts first, and in the face of Liu Feng, who was almost invincible, no matter who was very afraid in his heart, the responsibility for the defeat of the next battle was on his shoulders.

And Zhang Liao, who had just spoken before, didn't say anything more, after all, he was only attacking Jingzhou as Yang Xiu's vice president, and according to Yang Xiu's words just now, he probably already had some ideas in his heart, but because of his lack of combat experience, he didn't want to say it, so he wanted to see what kind of thoughts the people under his command were.

But Zhang Liao also knows very well that such a trick is absolutely unacceptable in front of the two armies, if he can't serve the public with his own strength, then even if Cao Zhi appoints Yang Xiu as the commander-in-chief, then he is also in name only, and his military exploits can only be accumulated by himself, and he can't fake his hands on others, when the position of the boss is placed on Yang Xiu's shoulders, he must also assume the responsibility that he should bear as the commander.

For Cao Zhi, Zhang Liao is still very loyal, and he also keenly discovered the fact that Cao Zhi didn't want to use Sima Yi, so he forcibly supported Yang Xiu to this position, and because of this, he naturally wanted to help Cao Zhi train Yang Xiu, if Yang Xiu could really take on the heavy responsibility of commanding the Wei army, then Sima Yi, who no one knew what was in his heart, would naturally never hold an important position in the court of Wei again. Although Yang Xiu is a bit far-fetched, at least he, like Zhang Liao, is absolutely loyal to Cao Zhi.

Seeing that everyone, including Zhang Liao and Xu Chu, was silent, Yang Xiu knew that he could no longer be a turtle with a shrunken head, this first confrontation had already been lost, and in the end, the courtiers who stayed behind in Wei would definitely think that it was because of his unfavorable command that he had won this rout.

Therefore, Yang Xiu is also like a mirror in his heart, even if he takes the advice made by the people under his command here, although the merits can be counted on his head after the victory, the fault after the defeat will still be borne by himself.

Sighing, Yang Xiu knew that he had to make some arrangements, otherwise his momentum in the court would be used up in the army sooner or later, he thought about it a little, and went through the situation around Wancheng and the previous experiences of Xu Chu and Xu Huang in his mind, and then slowly opened his mouth.

"The ancients had clouds, ten were surrounded, five were attacked, and many times were warned, and now we have an army of 250,000, at least three times that of Wancheng, and Wancheng is backed by Xiangyang, and the meaning of the siege is not great, so in my opinion, the first choice is to lure the defenders of the city out and engage with it, only in this way can the odds be greater!"

Yang Xiu finally said what he had in his heart, although these words were like nonsense in the ears of Zhang Liao, who was familiar with military books, but Zhang Liao knew that Yang Xiu's previous experience in leading troops into battle was too little, and it was not an overnight thing to train his ability, so when Yang Xiu looked at him, he also replied to Yang Xiu and said: "If Liu Feng is really here, and he can't hold out in the city, we are indeed the only way to attack, only three times the enemy's soldiers, plus the city guards and Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and other famous generals, There is really no guarantee that our army will capture the city gate, even if it is a strong attack to take Wancheng, Liu Fengding will be prepared in Xiangyang, so a strong attack is not a good strategy, if it can really be lured out, in this vast plain, the probability of our army winning will indeed be a lot greater. ”

When Zhang Liao said this, he agreed with Yang Xiu's words, but at the same time, he was also implying that Yang Xiu that such a big battle must not just talk about troops on paper and use the words in the war book, but should be combined with the specific situation of the enemy.

"Since General Wenyuan also agrees with this strategy, today we will discuss what method can be used to lure the defenders in Liu Fengcheng out of Wancheng, if so, even if it annihilates its 10,000 defenders, it will be a huge loss for it, not to mention that it can greatly improve the morale of our army."

Seeing that his statement was supported by Zhang Liao, who had a high prestige, the expression on Yang Xiu's face was a lot more relaxed, although Yang Xiu was not very good at leading troops to fight, but what he said could indeed play a great role in improving morale to a certain extent. As soon as these words came out, Xu Chu and Xu Huang, who had been depressed before, seemed to have found the possibility of revenge, and their eyes all showed a different brilliance, participating in the discussion on how to lure Liu Feng's army out of the city.

At this time, Liu Feng in Wancheng is also concerned about this army not far from the city, a full 250,000 troops, placed in a corner only twenty or thirty miles away from Wancheng, which is self-evident for the oppression of the defenders in the city, fortunately, under the instigation of Liu Feng and others, the defenders of Wancheng just killed more than 40,000 enemy troops at the cost of less than 10,000 casualties, such a victory made the soldiers defending the city have a lot of confidence, and they are not afraid of the Wei soldiers outside the city.

The black clouds overwhelmed the city and wanted to destroy it, and the Wei soldiers in black clothes and black armor really responded to this golden sentence, although Liu Feng had also looked at the 800,000 troops under Cao Cao in Chibi before, but it was all the soldiers who were packed into the warship, and it didn't look like there was any shock, but this time it was different, Liu Feng and Ma Chao personally led a small team of scouts to a place less than five miles away from the Wei army camp to observe, such a way of camping, It is almost impossible to put into practice the idea of sending Ma Chao's cavalry to constantly harass and attack the Wei army at night, not to mention that there are still many tigers and leopards patrolling the periphery of the several camps not far from each other, this time, Yang Xiu is obviously very cautious and will not easily give Liu Feng any chance to damage his troops.

"The enemy is so cautious as the attacking side, and there are so many of them, many of the methods we discussed before cannot be used, I wonder if you have any ways to solve it?"

Faced with such a situation, Liu Feng simply went straight to the point, dealing with the deadlock was not what he was good at, rather than racking his brains himself, it was better to brainstorm as quickly as possible, after all, if Yang Xiu started to attack, there would be nothing to do.
