"East Side...... The ...... of the east side "The horseman who reported the situation stared at Li Yanzhao who seemed to be in a daze at this time, and the whole person was stupid.

Li Yanzhao thought of Liu Zhao's main expedition to the west in Guanzhong, but he never thought that Shi Wu, the king of Xiutu who was stationed in Di Dao and Sangcheng, would not wait for Liu Zhao's support, and would take the risk of attacking with thousands of subordinates.

Even if most of the people in Chen An's hands at this time were rabble, and their combat power was not high, Li Yanzhao did not think that Shi Wu's four thousand horsemen could inflict a decisive blow on Chen An. Attacking with 4,000 light horsemen to fight against the opponent's 100,000 army is a risky move no matter how you look at it.

Even if Li Yanzhao was familiar with military books since he was a child, if he was allowed to hit 100,000 with 4,000, he would not be able to think of any brilliant and victorious strategy if he wanted to break his head. He was not yet arrogant enough to think that what kind of army he was carrying would be able to defeat one against twenty.

Shi Wu went to the east this time, and he almost certainly went to Chen An. However, if it was a tough battle of 4,000 against 100,000, Li Yanzhao didn't believe that Shi Wu would do this.

However, if you don't do this, how can you relieve the siege of Nan'an?

Li Yanzhao leaned down with a slightly painful and confused expression, racking his brains to search for what kind of intentions were hidden behind all these known conditions. He tried to put himself in the roles of Chen An and Shi Wu, in order to capture even a little bit of what these two people were thinking, so that he could make a judgment about the next battle situation, and then he could understand what these two people wanted to do.

Through such a review, I can make a prediction of the true situation of the incident, and then decide how to report to the county government and the state government according to the follow-up reconnaissance, and then make the next effective response.

Li Yanzhao pondered for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a definite answer, so he found a map and relied on those simple markers to try to reproduce the topography of these places in his mind.

"Could it be that Shi Wu wants to break through the area controlled by Chen An, so as to join Liu Zhao's main force in the Guanzhong region?" Li Yanzhao spread out the map, and then muttered to himself.

He soon rejected his assumption. First of all, if he wanted to go to join Liu Zhao's main force, Shi Wu would have to pass through the area controlled by Chen An, so it was difficult to say whether Chen An would leave only a small number of troops to besiege Nan'an, so as to turn his head and attack Shi Wu.

If Chen An uses this strategy to concentrate on encircling the point to send reinforcements, then it is very likely that Shi Wu's entire army will be wiped out in the land of Longxi, even if Chen An's recruited people are no longer helpful, Shi Wu and his subordinates will not be able to escape a heavy loss.

Secondly, if Shi Wu did so, he could only hand over the strongholds in the Longxi region such as Didao and Sangcheng that he had previously occupied to Chen An, and even if they joined up with Liu Zhao's main force, they could only attack and advance from west to east step by step. And no matter what the outcome of the battle is, Chen An's 100,000 temporary subordinates are not paper-based. How can it compare to attacking from two sides, strategically causing greater deterrence and blow to Chen An?

Between thoughts, Li Yanzhao's gaze gradually shifted from Nan'an County, the focus of all parties, downward, and then downward. Then, he saw the old nest that Chen An had guarded before.

That's right! Why didn't I think that since it was impossible for Shi Wu to go to the Qiang led by Chen An, and it was impossible to cross Chen An's defense area to join Liu Zhao's main force and then march westward, then there was almost only one way left for him: to besiege Chen An's base camp and his lair!

This superficial siege of Wei to save Zhao has been staged many times in thousands of years, including the battle of Guiling of Qi and Wei during the Warring States Period, and the rebellion of Zhu Chenhao, King of Dingning, Wang Yangming during the Ming Wuzong period. In the long history, this plan has been tried and tested. The heroes and heroes who fell under this plan can really be said to be going forward and succeeding, and there is an endless stream.

Chen An fled from Chang'an in a panic when Liu Zhao had besieged Chang'an, which was then the capital of the Jin Dynasty, and he was only an insignificant militia leader at that time. However, over the years, he has followed Sima Bao, Liu Zhao, and himself to the east and west, and in this troubled world, he can also be called a veteran of a hundred battles.

is such a veteran of a hundred battles, will he fall for Shi Wu's obvious and clumsy plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao?

In Li Yanzhao's opinion, Chen An's best strategy now should be to take Nan'an quickly regardless of the cost. After capturing Nan'an, he left part of his troops to defend Nan'an, and then returned to the division with the main force to break through the Shiwu Department besieging Shangtai. Where this strategy was able to gain a foothold was the powerful forces that Chen An now mastered, as well as the Xiongnu's ability to attack the city in a hurry.

The agrarian civilization built a strong city, and the routine of high walls and deep walls to resist nomadic invasion was formed as early as the early Han Dynasty. At that time, even the main force of the Huns led by the Xiongnu Shan Yu, when facing the "city wall" temporarily built by Wei Qing with Wugang car, they could only sigh with joy, so that they could not attack for a long time, and once again achieved the prestige of the famous generals of the Wei Qing generation.

Not to mention Shuofang, and even Jilusai, a fortress built in a strategic place, with convenient location and sufficient long-range firepower. The Huns could only look at the city for decades and sigh, and no longer had the majesty of the early Han Dynasty to gather tens of thousands of people to enter the Kou, and to drive straight in.

How anxious the Huns were to attack the city can be seen from this.

Therefore, Li Yanzhao can conclude that with the strength of the Xiongnu Shiwu, as well as the financial, material and productive resources, it is absolutely impossible to capture Chen An's lair in a short time. Even these days, when Chen An attacked Nan'an, Shi Wu reluctantly captured Shangqi at all costs, and it would definitely be difficult to defend. It is basically impossible to hold out until the day when Liu Zhao's main force returns to help.

To put it bluntly, even if Shi Wu captures Shangqi, as long as Chen An's head is still sober. For the time being, regardless of the gains and losses of Shangtai, he went all out to capture Nan'an, and then quickly returned to the division after capturing Nan'an, Shi Wu could only be a turtle in an urn, and was blown down by Chen An's arrogant division that had just won. As a result, he may become a lonely ghost, or he will be reduced to a lost dog. Even if he fled back to Didao and Sangcheng with the remnants of the defeated army, it would be difficult to do anything big.

In this way, Chen An has Nan'an on the north bank of Weishui, and Shangqi on the south bank of Weishui, as long as a pontoon bridge is built in the upper reaches of Weishui, which is far away from the direction of Liu Zhao's attack on the east side, Chen An's more than 100,000 people can echo each other from afar, back and forth. Even if Liu Zhao did all the soldiers of the whole country and fought with Chen An, it is difficult to say who killed the deer.

If this is the case, then Liangzhou will be safer. At least Chen An's main opponent at the moment is still Liu Zhao, who is guarding the east. If Chen An wins Nan'an in this battle, no matter how stupid he is, he will not come west to provoke Liangzhou, so as to make himself fall into a Jedi where he is attacked on both sides.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Chen An really acted like this and came to attack Liangzhou, it was just to give Zhang Yuanjun a mouthful, so that he could more easily eat the land south of Longxi Henan, which is currently entangled between Chen An and Shi Wu.

You must know that the state governor Zhang Envoy Jun is not without enterprising spirit. He has long had his own pursuit of recovering the two capitals and achieving immortal achievements. The previous various shrinking fronts were just because they felt that Liangzhou was now weak and could not swallow the huge land of Longxi Henan in one fell swoop, so they adopted a strategy to cultivate obscurity.

"Report to the hundred generals, we also found a Hun Liu Zhao sentry horse, about a dozen people, is coming here." The words of the sentry cavalry guard interrupted Li Yanzhao's thoughts, which were still thinking a lot next to the sketch.

Although his train of thought was interrupted, Li Yanzhao's face did not change, and after listening to the report of this cavalry, he immediately decided that he would gather this team of cavalry in his hands and give this Liu Zhao sentry cavalry a devastating blow! It is best to catch a few more tongues and come back, so as to have a deeper understanding of Liu Zhaoxiu's plan to slaughter Wang Shiwu.

Thinking of this section, Li Yanzhao couldn't help but call Shao Lei and said to him: "You take twenty horsemen and go here to set up an ambush...... Be sure to annihilate Liu Zhao and ride all the whistles, and no one person can escape! ”

"Subordinates obey!" After listening to Li Yanzhao's plan, Shao Lei was extremely impressed and clenched his fists and said.
