Gao Gan obviously couldn't accept Liu Xiu's statement, "If the son is so scruples in doing things, how can he achieve great things?" ”

"High Thorn History! Now that you've decided to follow my arrangement, this time you'll do it! I'm definitely not trying to seize the credit, the West River guard Li Cunqiao is extremely brave, if you can defeat him, I will let General Yao Xi guard in Taiyuan, let you attack the West River, I don't know what the history of the high spur will be? ”

The guard general of Xihe is now Li Cunqing, but Li Cunqing's ability, Gao Gan has also known it over the years, and he thinks that he is inferior, so when it comes to this, he has nothing to say, he can only agree with Liu Xiu's opinion.

Liu Xiu ordered an army of 20,000, so he quietly marched towards the West River.

At this time, Li Cunmiao had already received a secret letter from Li Keyong, asking him to guard against Liu Xiu's attack, once he encountered Liu Xiu's attack, remember not to go out of the city, as long as he held the city and waited for reinforcements.

A few days later, Liu Xiu led an army of 20,000 to Yuanyang County, which is also an important town in the north of Xihe County. The southern part of Xihe County is still in the hands of Gao Gan, because Liu Xiu defeated Li Ling's battle, so that Li Keyong did not continue to advance in Xihe.

Hearing the report from the spies, Li Cunmiao immediately asked people to close the city gates, and at the same time prepared the army to meet Liu Xiu's attack.

After Liu Xiu arrived in Yuanyang, he found that Li Cunmiao had made preparations, and he believed in his heart that Li Keyong must have guessed that he might come to attack Xihe, so he asked Li Cunmiao to prepare.

As soon as the army arrived, Liu Xiu immediately asked Choshi to lead his troops to launch a tentative attack.

Choshi led an army of 5,000 to attack the east gate of Yuanyang, and in an instant, the smoke of gunpowder was filled under the city of Yuanyang, and the sound of killing and wailing continued to sound, and blood and death shrouded Yuanyang again.

The attack lasted less than an hour, and Liu Xiu ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. After the camp of the army was stationed, he began to take a few people to observe the situation in Yuanyang City in the next few days, looking for an opportunity to break the city.

Choshi followed Liu Xiu closely and walked around Yuanyang for more than an hour, Liu Xiu didn't say a word, his brows furrowed even tighter, Choshi couldn't help but ask, "Why is Childe so worried?" ”

Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "I didn't expect this Li Ya to be so proficient in the way of using soldiers, this little Yuanyang was so well guarded by him, he is indeed a talent!" It seems that it is not easy to capture Yuanyang in a hurry! ”

Hearing Liu Xiu's words, Choshi still disagreed: "There are only 5,000 soldiers and horses in this Yuanyang City, and now our army is five times as large as him, is there any difficulty?" Childe, rest assured, I will lead the army to attack again tomorrow, and I believe that even if this Yuanyang is strong, it will be broken one day sooner or later. ”

"General Yao, no! Although our army is several times more human, Li Ya occupies the advantage of defending the city, and if he attacks strongly, he will only suffer heavy casualties, which is not good for our army. At that time, even if you barely capture Yuanyang, how will you face the incoming enemy in the future? ”

Liu Xiu's ultimate goal is not a small Yuanyang, so he will definitely not be willing to sacrifice a lot of soldiers in exchange for this city.

Liu Xiu was still walking around Yuanyang City on horseback, until he saw a city wall in the southeast of the city, suddenly stopped, and couldn't help laughing and said, "The broken city is here!" ”

Choshi didn't understand yet, and looked at Liu Xiu with some confusion: "Why did Childe say this?" ”

Liu Xiu pointed to the city wall there, and said with a smile: "General, please look!" Although the city wall here looks complete, but if you look closely, there are still many cracks on the city wall, and it is thought that the rain and snow at the beginning of the year were too heavy and there was no time to repair it, so as long as you attack it casually tomorrow, you will definitely be able to break through from here. As long as we can attack and open the gates, once our army enters the city, the enemy will be defeated! ”

Choshi laughed and said, "It's still a careful child, and the last general will come here in person tomorrow!" ”

Liu Xiu shook his head, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, you only need to lead 2,000 soldiers and horses and go directly to the east gate to fight, as long as you can attract Li Ya's attention, then I will let General Xia Luqi lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city from here, and I will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort!" ”

Choshi understood what Liu Xiu meant, and happily agreed.

On the second day, Choshi led two thousand soldiers and horses directly to the city to fight, and he asked all the soldiers to scold together: "Li Ya shrunk his head and turtle, don't dare to go out of the city, Li Ya get out of here!" ”

It's just that Li Cunmiao didn't care at all at this time, he had already heard the soldier's report yesterday, Liu Xiu stopped at the southeast city wall for a long time, he just thought about it for a while, and guessed Liu Xiu's intentions. So he only left a thousand soldiers and horses at the east gate, and most of the soldiers and horses were transferred to the southeast city wall to garrison, waiting for Liu Xiu's attack.

After about half an hour, Li Cunqiao really saw a soldier and horse approaching quietly not far away, and when the army came, he discovered Liu Xiu's existence from the crowd at a glance.

"Haha, Liu Feng Xiao'er, how can you hide this little trick from me?"

Li Cunmiao stood on the city wall and yelled at Liu Xiu under the city, but Liu Xiu still waved his hand, and the army attacked together.

Li Cunmiao didn't expect that after Liu Xiu's strategy was seen through by himself, he would still attack desperately, but he didn't have time to think about it, and immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare to meet the enemy.

Liu Xiu's army had just attacked for a quarter of an hour, and Li Cunqiao suddenly found a problem: It stands to reason that since the southeast is his main direction of attack, it should be the main force, but there are at most more than 3,000 soldiers and horses under this city, so where is Liu Feng's main force?

As soon as he thought of this, Li Cunmiao suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and shouted in a lost voice: "It's not good! I've been tricked! ”

Li Cunmiao immediately led two thousand soldiers and horses to leave, and hurried directly to the northeast of the city.

It's just that at this time, the northeast of Yuanyang City was already facing the attack of Xia Luqi's 5,000-strong army, and Li Cunqiao's defenders were only 500 people. In the face of Xia Ruqi's attack, these 500 people only lasted less than an hour, and Xia Luqi took the lead in climbing the city wall, and then Yuanyang City completely lost its shield, and Liu Xiu's army poured into it like a tide.

At this time, Li Cunqiao realized that he was tricked by Liu Xiu, but before Li Keyong asked him to hold on until the arrival of reinforcements, he didn't know where the reinforcements were at this time. If he retreats at this time, it will make all of Li Keyong's plans fail.

"Drop! Detected that Li Cunmiao's skill table is triggered, force +4, command +2, intelligence +1, the current Li Cunmiao's force is increased to 101, the command rate is increased to 93, and the intelligence is increased to 83."
