Wang Xu said: "Relying only on the cloud ladder, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve great things." After speaking, he fell into deep thought, what kind of weapons can help siege the city, you must know that in this continent otherworldly space, there is no cannon or anything, and the most powerful siege weapon is just a trebuchet, but as for that, he doesn't have it.

"Why don't we build a few trebuchets temporarily?" Wang Xu said abruptly.

As soon as he said this, everyone in the tent laughed at the same time, and Wang Xu looked dazed.

Sun Yu said with a smile: "The lord doesn't know, building a trebuchet is time-consuming and laborious, and it is a very huge project, which cannot be completed without three years and five years." ”

"What? Three years and five years? Wang Xu was speechless, this is an atomic bomb, isn't it just a few wooden frames sandwiched together.

Everyone nodded, Wang Xu was completely shocked, and at the same time realized that the technology on this continent was too low, and he secretly decided that if he had time, he must study those advanced weapons in modern times, such as explosives, artillery or something, at least to develop science and technology like the Qing Dynasty, with red-coated cannons, so that the siege of the city would not be so laborious.

It's too early to think about that now, Wang Xu has returned to reality, and the current thing is still true to try his best to break through the royal city, since he can't get a trebuchet, he can only think of other strategies.

Glancing at the nine people in the big tent, Wang Xu spread his hands: "Okay, since you can't build a trebuchet, then let's think about how to break through this royal city." ”

There was a teacup on the desk, Wang Xu took it in his hand and drank it, regardless of the people standing in the big tent, he drank his own tea.

After a while, seeing that no one spoke, Wang Xu played a scoundrel and joked: "Let me tell you first, I can't think of a way to stand there, and we won't break up this meeting until dawn." ”

Everyone rolled their eyes at the same time.

Sun Yu and the others have also been busy these days, and they have lost their attention, and everyone looked at Jia Hui for a while.

Jia Hui's back was furious, and he began to think of a way, after all, he was not a general, this kind of thing of thinking about planning was his job, and if he wanted to achieve great success, this was the only way.

Zhang Meng doesn't care, standing there and looking around, isn't it just a punishment station, what's the big deal, even if he stands for three days and three nights, he's fine, he can stand it.

Wang Xu was not idle, he was drinking tea while trying to find a way, and suddenly, he thought of someone.

"What about Lu Yang's 50,000 border troops? Where are the troops stationed now? Wang Xu said suddenly.

As soon as Lu Yang was mentioned, Jia Hui remembered that he was really smart and confused for a while, how could he forget him, when he was in Cloud City, it was Jia Hui's own suggestion, saying that Lu Yang would come to annihilate Zhou Yi together, but now he forgot about it.

Ye Xiong was very clear about this, and said: "Lu Yang's border army is stationed three hundred miles west of Wangcheng, with its back to the Yangtze River facing east, and it is reported that the three cities west of Wangcheng are all owned by him. ”

"That's good." Wang Xu said: "Get in touch with Lu Yang immediately, and say that we are determined to break through the royal city and kill Zhou Yi; I wanted him to come to help in the war, and after the city was broken, the two armies in the city would divide the gold and silver, food, and equipment equally. ”

After a pause, Wang Xu asked, "Which of you wants to take this trip?" ”

When he said this, Wang Xu looked at Jia Hui, and the meaning was obvious, he just wanted him to go.

Jia Hui's face twitched, why did this kind of thing fall on him.

He was about to agree out loud, but he didn't want Huang Quan to speak at this time, Huang Quan said: "Lord, in fact, there is really no need for us to go three hundred miles away to communicate with Lu Yang, as long as we send troops to call for a few days under the royal city, or wait in place for a few days, Lu Yang will inevitably lead troops south." ”

Wang Xu then remembered that Lu Yang was Zhou De's confidant and loyal to Zhou De, and at this time Zhou De was killed by Zhou Yi and hid from the throne of Guxi, so he naturally wanted to avenge Zhou De.

Sun Yu said: "Our 100,000 troops have been stationed here for several days, it is impossible for Lu Yang not to know, but until now, he still has no movement to march, I think this matter is not so simple, maybe he is still hesitating, after all, Zhou De and Zhou Yi are father and son, and they are both his masters." ”

Saying this, Wang Xu was also worried, on the one hand, he was the son of the first master, and on the other hand, he was the son of the first lord, both of them were his own people, is it possible for Lu Yang to abandon this hatred and support Zhou Yi instead, after all, Zhou Yi is the son of Zhou De, and he is the current King of Guxi, and he is the orthodox royal family, and what about himself, if it sounds good, it is to avenge the Lord, but to say that it is difficult to say that it is a rebellion and a traitor.

The more Wang Xu thought about it, the more worried he became, if Lu Yang was moved by Zhou Yi's words and attacked himself instead, it would be troublesome, 50,000 border troops plus Zhou Yi's 90,000 horses, a total of 140,000, let alone a siege war, I am afraid that even a field battle will be difficult to win.

Thinking of this, Wang Xu didn't hesitate any longer, got up and said: "Mr. Jia, I'm sorry for you to go, be sure to move Lu Yang to help in the battle, and you don't have to worry about security, I will send someone to protect you all the way." ”

Jia Hui also knew that the matter was serious, and arched his hand: "Don't worry, the lord will not disgrace his subordinates!" ”

Wang Xu nodded, I hope there will be good news, if Lu Yang really takes refuge in Zhou Yi, then everything will be over.

After continuing to discuss the next siege matters, Wang Xu sent everyone away.

"Ye Xiong, you stay for a while."

Everyone walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, and Wang Xu and Ye Xiong were left in the tent, pulling him aside, Wang Xu said: "You immediately send Jinyiwei to secretly go to Lu Yang's army to find out the current situation of Lu Yang's army, your main task is to understand Lu Yang's true thoughts, and after Jia Hui said that Lu Yang led the army south, I want to know whether Lu Yang is sincere to help the war, or has ulterior motives." ”

Ye Xiong understood what Wang Xu meant, in the final analysis, he was not at ease with Lu Yang, afraid that Lu Yang and Zhou Yi would join forces to deal with him, Ye Xiong immediately agreed, this kind of thing was originally what Jinyiwei should do.

Wang Xu said: "In addition, we must protect Mr. Jia's safety along the way, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"No." Ye Xiong took the order. That's his part.

In fact, Jin Yiwei had already arranged to go to Hexi County, not far from Lu Yang's border army, it was not difficult to complete these tasks, and there was [Jing Jian Wei] to prepare, and there was no problem at all to protect Jia Hui's safety.

After the meeting, Ye Xiong also left the camp.

As soon as Ye Xiong left, Wang Xu turned around and looked at the map hanging behind him, which was a complete map of Guxi County, on which the cities, mountains and rivers, and topography of more than 20 counties in Guxi were clearly depicted.

However, after reading it, he was not interested, because this was just a map of Guxi County, which was not of much use, and he knew the topography of Guxi County very well, so there was no need to look at it again, and the most important thing was that now the place where Wang Xu fought was vaguely beyond Guxi County.

If the Guxi War is defeated this time, then you have to consider where to retreat, and then there will be more places involved, and it will definitely not work for the army to stay in Guxi County, because it is too close to the imperial capital and too dangerous.

In the end, he sighed and came to sleep on the couch, everything had to wait for Jia Hui and Lu Yang to negotiate, if Lu Yang really joined forces with him, then the certainty of defeating Zhou Yi would be greater, and then he might not have to run for his life in all directions.

Thinking about it, Wang Xu gradually fell asleep, he was too tired from marching day after day in the past few days
