The slasher was nailed to the map, trembling and humming. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info heard this sound in Wang Shao's ears, like thunder, which shocked him very much.

Wang Shao's courage was not said, it was very big, it was really not much for him to scream like this, which shows the boldness of Wu Ji's idea.

"Brother Wu, you actually want to attack Zhuozhou, this is too bold!" Wang Shao's voice was still high-pitched and a little harsh: "Zhuozhou is the important place of Liao, and it is the springboard for Liao's attack on the Great Song Dynasty. Zhuozhou had accumulated a large amount of grain, grass, and ordnance, and if the Liao State wanted to attack the Great Song Dynasty, it had to obtain supplies from Zhuozhou. Taking Zhuozhou and taking down this important city will inevitably be a ground movement for Liao, which will shock the government and the opposition of Liao. Moreover, once Zhuozhou is lost, Yelu Hongji's next attack on the Great Song Dynasty is not very feasible. If he still wants to attack the Great Song Dynasty, he must first take back Zhuozhou, otherwise, everything is delusional. ”

Zhuozhou is very important to Liao, and Wang Shao's words have explained it well.

When Wang Shao said this, he changed his words and said: "However, if you want to conquer Zhuozhou, it is not easy to talk about it. Taking Zhuozhou, the Great Song Dynasty had long wanted to do it, but it was too difficult to implement. Brother Wu, it is very difficult to attack Zhuozhou, not to mention anything else, even if the army of the Great Song Dynasty reaches the city of Zhuozhou, it will not be able to defeat it. You must know that the city of Zhuozhou is high and thick, and its hardship is no worse than that of Xiongzhou. The Liao State has not been defeated in attacking Xiongzhou for hundreds of years, and we really have no success in attacking Zhuozhou. ”

What he said was the truth, in ancient times, there was a lack of powerful siege equipment, and when encountering a strong city, it was often helpless. Zhuozhou is an important strategic base of Liao, and among the sixteen states of Yanyun, its important surname is second only to Youzhou. The Liao State has operated Zhuozhou for hundreds of years, and its solidity can be imagined. Just think about the fact that the Liao State has attacked Xiongzhou for hundreds of years without results, and everything will be understood.

"Wang Shumi, I can tell you that as long as the army reaches the city of Zhuozhou, it will definitely be able to defeat Zhuozhou." Wu Ji is very confident and loud.

"How much?" Wang Shao's eyes widened suddenly, staring at Wu Ji, confirming that Wu Ji didn't say anything big, and then he was a little surprised.

"Ten percent!"

"Ten percent?" Wu Ji's words had the power of earth-shattering, and Wang Shao was directly petrified.

In the era of cold weapons, the most difficult battle was not field warfare, or siege warfare. Because with support, it is difficult to fight, and there are countless examples of this. The Xiongnu were strong and pressed the Han Dynasty for decades, but they did not defeat the cities of the Han Dynasty, because the cities of the Han Dynasty made the Xiongnu constrained.

Similarly, the Liao State suppressed the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, and although it won many battles, it did not defeat many Song Dynasty cities, because the cities were really difficult to attack.

When it comes to siege warfare, no one is sure. Not to mention, if you still have to attack a fortified city like Zhuozhou, there will be even fewer successes. Wu Ji actually said that he was 100% sure, but no one really believed it. Although Wang Shao admired Wu Ji very much, he didn't believe it, stared at Wu Ji and shouted: "Brother Wu, you can't laugh about this!" You don't want to talk big! ”

If he hadn't admired Wu Ji very much, he would definitely have reprimanded him, and he wouldn't have shouted like he was now.

"Wang Shao, I'm not joking, but really." Wu Ji was full of confidence and said: "Attacking the city, for you, it may be difficult, but for me, it is not difficult. I have a plan, I just need more. ”

"Brother Wu, if you don't joke, as long as you can take down Zhuozhou, whatever you want, the official family will give it to you, even if you want the stars in the sky, the official family will pick it up for you." Wang Shao's voice was extremely high-pitched, no different from the voice of a eunuch.

Zhuozhou is too important, if you can lay down Zhuozhou, the benefits are not to be considered. If Wu Ji is 100% sure of conquering Zhuozhou, Song Shenzong will definitely support it, he will give whatever he wants, he will give the stars if he wants, and the moon will give the moon.

"Brother Wu, how are you going to fight?" Wang Shao asked eagerly.

"Wang Shumi, this method is actually not difficult." Wu Ji lowered his voice and said his thoughts.

"Can this be done?" Wang Shao didn't believe it at all, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, staring at Wu Ji fiercely, grabbing Wu Ji's shoulders with both hands, and shaking desperately: "Brother Wu, tell me quickly, can it be done?" ”

"I dare to make a military order!" Wu Ji nodded heavily, his voice was not high, but it was unquestionable.

"Good! I believe what you say is true. Wang Shao looked at Wu Ji for a long time, and then it was very difficult to believe that this was true.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Wang Shao couldn't stop patting Wu Ji, it can be said that he beat him hard, he was very excited, and said: "Brother Wu, once you beat Zhuozhou, there will be a lot of benefits!" Yelu Hongji's plan will disrupt us, and at that time, hehe, it's time for us to exert our power, and we must let the Liao dog walk around without eating! ”

"Conquering Zhuozhou is to point the sword at Youzhou, and Yelu Hongji's plan to attack the Great Song Dynasty has to be changed." Wu Ji then analyzed: "Yelu Hongji will take back Zhuozhou at all costs, therefore, defeating Zhuozhou is just the beginning of the whole war, and there will be a bigger battle to be fought!" Therefore, the next battle will be very difficult. ”

"Hmm!" Wang Shao couldn't help nodding, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Brother Wu, if you can defeat Zhuozhou, the benefits are obvious, but there are many difficulties." How can we suddenly appear under the city of Zhuozhou? How to resupply? How to deal with Yeluhongki's counterattack? We all have to think about this. ”

He deserves to be a great expert, and he has said the most important difficulties.

"In the next battle, if we mainly attack Zhuozhou, there will be nothing more than three difficulties." Wu Ji wrenched his fingers and said, "First, the issue of marching. It is conceivable that in the next battle, Yelu Hongji will definitely mobilize a large army near Zhuozhou and Youzhou, and it is really difficult for us to suddenly appear under the city of Zhuozhou. This is a big war, we have a lot of troops to go out, and the more troops we have, the more difficult it is to keep it secret. ”

Wang Shao couldn't help nodding, but he didn't speak, he believed that Wu Ji would analyze it completely.

Sure enough, Wu Ji continued: "The siege of the city is the second difficulty. With my method, it's not that difficult. If we can't take Zhuozhou in one go, then, when the Liao reinforcements arrive, it will be a combination of inside and outside, and we will suffer heavy casualties. As for dealing with Yelu Hongji's counterattack, as long as Zhuozhou is defeated, there is support, and the grain and grass in the city are obtained, and there will be supplies, and a big battle with the Liao army in Zhuozhou will not be lost, although it is hard. ”

"Speaking of which, the critical place is still in Zhuozhou, how can we appear under the city of Zhuozhou unnoticed?" Wang Shao still couldn't figure it out, and said: "The army is dispatched, even if there is the cover of the people of Yanyun, it is impossible to be unaware. ”

This is the most critical place, Wu Ji said: "We can speculate on this matter. Now that it is autumn, our captivity has disrupted Yeluhongki's deployment, and he wants to regain his morale and remobilize his army, and by the time he finishes it, it will be winter. Whether Yeluhongki will send troops in the winter or in the spring of the following year, we do not know. However, in winter, although it is conducive to the Liao army's fighting, it is also our opportunity. ”

"Yes!" Wang Shaoda agreed, and said: "Fighting in the ice and snow, this is the best thing for Liao dogs. We have never done it before, if we suddenly attack the Liao realm before the Liao army is about to attack, Yelu Hongji will not be able to think of breaking his dog's head, which will catch the Liao dog by surprise. ”

That's exactly what I thought. If the situation is better, if there is an opportunity, we can't let it go. Wu Ji's words are a little longing, but they may not be impossible. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can say whether there will be better fighters.

"Brother Wu, I agree with your idea." Wang Shao raised his eyebrows and said, "If you want to complete this plan, you must have the most elite army. Our 60,000 new troops, although they are already elite, are far from enough. When it comes to elite soldiers, there will be nothing else except Western soldiers. It is inevitable to transfer Shaanxi soldiers, why do you say that you will not transfer a single soldier in Shaanxi? ”

To accomplish such a bold idea, it is necessary to have an elite army, otherwise everything is in vain. If this plan is successful, the huge harvest is unimaginable, and the difficulties faced by the Song Dynasty will inevitably be solved.

However, the risks are also high. If you want to reduce risk, you need to be elite. Speaking of elites, the army of the entire Song Dynasty was none other than the Western soldiers. It was a logical thing to transfer the soldiers from Shaanzhou, but Wu Ji disagreed, and Wang Shao really couldn't understand it.

"It is good to be able to transfer Western soldiers, but their burden is not light, and they cannot be transferred." Wu Ji analyzed it again and said: "You must know that it will take three or two months to transfer troops from Shaanzhou to the north. When they arrive, they will have to be rectified. Wang Shumi, you know, our current tactics are very different from the past, and it will take another month or two for them to master our tactics. For such a long time, perhaps, Yeluhongji has already come in. ”

"That's right!" Wang Shao thought for a moment and said: "Instead of this, it is better to select soldiers with flexible minds, strong bodies, and strength in the north for training." In the same amount of time, we can also get the troops we need, so that the defense of Shaanzhou will not be weakened. ”

From the issuance of military orders to the mobilization of troops from the west, it is necessary to drive thousands of miles, and it is impossible to reach the north in three or two months. Even if the western soldiers arrived, first, they did not adapt to the water and soil, and they still needed a process of adaptation. Second, they are not familiar with the tactics of the new army, and they still need training, which is several months after this time is calculated.

In such a long time, it is completely possible to retrain an army.

"Okay, let's transfer the western soldiers." As soon as he understood this, Wang Shao made a decision.

"No!" Wu Ji waved his hand and said, "Wang Shumi, although we don't need to transfer western soldiers, we still have to do this." Not only must we do it, but we must also do it in a big way, so that Liaoxi Xia will mistakenly think that we have drawn a large number of western soldiers. ”

"Hey, hey!" Wang Shao is also a shrewd person, and he immediately came to his senses, gave Wu Ji a thumbs up, and praised: "Brother Wu, you really have you!" In this way, it is to set a huge trap for Xixia, if Xixia does not notice and falls into our plan, this time it will suffer heavy losses! ”

If the Song Dynasty had put on the illusion of transferring a large number of troops from Shaanzhou, the Western Xia and the Liao State would have believed it. Western Xia will rush in, and maybe it will suffer a big loss.

"Brother Wu, according to what you say, this is a rare opportunity. Can we recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and destroy the Liao Kingdom? Wang Shao asked a question that countless Song people wanted to ask.
