Li Mi listened to the disparity in strength between the two sides, and immediately thought deeply. 3wx.co¤m

According to the saying of "ten and encircle" in the art of war, it is obviously easy for Xijiao's 50,000 troops to besiege Lincang City.

But this is only theoretical, because the current Lincang City is like a small island, and its moat is simply two artificial lakes, and the narrowest part is also thirty or fifty zhang wide.

If he wanted to besiege Lincang City, he could only use ships.

The soldiers of Jian Guozhao were not naval troops, and it was obviously unrealistic to want them to attack Lincang City on a ship; The most important thing is that Fu Guozhao has long known that Su You has long been superbly skilled in the use of catapults, but if his own ship enters the moat of Lincang City, he will probably only have the fate of being smashed.

How should this battle be fought?

This is the question that Guo Zhao is most worried about at present, and it is also the question that Li Mi wants to know the answer to the most; In any case, it is not difficult for Jian Guozhao to surround Lincang City with his 50,000 soldiers.

So the question is, how should Su You break through? Or do you choose to be surrounded by them?

Su You obviously didn't have that much time to confront Jian Guozhao, because the people of the Central Plains who had suffered from the war were still waiting for him to go back and save them!

Li Mi looked at Su You, and finally carefully put forward his first suggestion, "My Dong Ji and Xi Ji are feuds, we might as well form an alliance with Dong Ji for the time being, I heard that Dong Yao's concubine Wang Bodang is Mr.'s old department, and it should not be difficult for the two sides to form an alliance." ”

Su You immediately nodded, and said with a smile, "It is necessary to unite with Dongjiao, after all, my goal is not to be king here, even if I defeat Xijiao, who will take them over?" I think about it, but I can only fall on the east plan. The reason why Guo Zhao is making a big splash is that I'm afraid it's not so simple."

Su You's words obviously didn't take Xifu in his eyes, except for Li Mi's worries, everyone seemed full of confidence.

Su You looked at everyone and continued to say slowly, "Don't you think it's strange that the Duan clan and Pu are fighting at this time? Maybe they're already in cahoots with the country. Therefore, the scouts sent to the south must pay attention to the movements of the Iron Armor Fort, but if there is any movement of the Duan clan, report it quickly! ”

Li Mi listened to Su You's words, and also thought deeply, according to the current situation, Su You's situation is very bad.

Li Mi weighed it, and immediately stood up and asked Su You for his life, "Li Mi is not talented, and he is willing to lobby Wang Bodang for Mr., and must let him join the alliance army." ”

Su Yunfan naturally understood the importance of lobbying Wang Bodang to return to his side, and immediately stood up, "Dad, let me go." ”

"You two have more important tasks, this time to send a letter to Bodang, let Lu Sheng go." Su You first looked at Li Mi, and then at Su Yunfan, who was full of eagerness, waved his hand to make them sit down, but looked at Lu Sheng.

Li Mi and Su Yunfan, both in terms of origin and ability, are several times higher than Lu Sheng.

Since Su You said so, Lu Sheng didn't feel inappropriate, and he naturally knew that it was not a trivial matter to lobby Wang Bodang, so he immediately stood up and said solemnly, "Lu Sheng will not fail in his mission." ”

"I'll fix a book later, and let Bodang directly send troops to Dali and surround Wei to save Zhao. When this is done, you should report back the good news to me as soon as possible. Su You was still extremely satisfied with Lu Sheng, and he didn't even hide the content of the letter from him.

"How many pigeons do I have?" Lu Sheng nodded and asked Su Youdao.

"Yes, how did I almost forget this" Su You nodded appreciatively.

Using pigeons to deliver news, there is only one family in the world, Lincang City, and it is thanks to Yunfan that he remembered the TV series he had watched before, so he came up with an idea.

Of course, Su You knew the feasibility of using pigeons, and then invested a lot of manpower and material resources to domesticate pigeons; So far, Su You has only about a hundred pigeons that can deliver news.

After it was determined that Lü Sheng went to Dongjiao to lobby Wang Bodang, Su You, Li Mi and others began to make arrangements for how to organize this attack of Fu Guozhao.

While they were discussing, Shuang'er knocked on the door and immediately handed Su You two notes.

When Su You opened it, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he immediately said to everyone present, "According to the news from the scouts in front, Ji Guozhao has left Dali Wharf with 20,000 troops, and they will arrive in four days at most; And the combined army of Duan Ruqi and Pu Bu, a total of 50,000 people, has now sworn in the Iron Armor Fort, and will arrive in Lincang City in five days at the latest."

Everyone was a little overwhelmed when they heard Su You report the latest information, and Su You's guess just now turned out to be a reality.

Judging from the current intelligence, Duan Ruqi of the Showa Kingdom is obviously colluding and preparing to attack Lincang City five days later.

"Let's think of a way to see how we should proceed, you discuss it first, I'll go write a letter to Bodang first, Lu Sheng, you come with me." Su You stood up as he spoke, and then walked to the study.

Lu Sheng naturally followed behind Su You, but he didn't say a word, obviously he also knew that the current situation was grim.

After Su You sat down, Lu Sheng grinded for him.

Su You spread out the paper, picked up the pen, and asked Lu Sheng while writing a letter, "What do you think of the current situation?" ”

Although Lu Sheng was very worried, he still smiled stubbornly, "If Mr. feels that this battle is not certain, he will probably drive the shipowner to go, right?" So I still believe that Mr. can save the day. ”

"You've been pampered for the past two years, so I'll ask you, what does Guozhao use to resist our artillery and bombing. Play? Su You smiled and asked confidently.

"Yes. Our equipment and armor are better than theirs, our weapons are sharper than theirs, and the quality of our soldiers is higher than theirs. Even if they try their best, it will not be easy to take Lincang City! Lu Sheng nodded.

Su You divided the letter by two, put down the pen and looked at Lu Shengdao, "After your spirit arrives in Kunchuan, don't show this depressed appearance!" By the way, the main purpose of your visit is to let Bodang and them attack Dali and tell him about the itinerary of Fu Guozhao. As for the matter of Duan Ruqi and Pu Bu, let's not talk about it yet."

Of course, Lu Sheng understood this truth, and he went to Dongjiao this time to promote the alliance, not to ask for help.

If Princess Biyun knew that Su You was facing the attack of Xi Ji and Duan Ruqi, would she think that Su You had no strength to fight back and chose to stand by and watch?

In fact, of course not.

As long as the Showa and Duan Ruqi join forces, no matter what Su You's situation is, Dong Yu will inevitably fight to the death, and he will fight to the death.

"There you go!" After Su You dried the handwriting he had just written, he put the letter in the envelope and handed it to Lu Sheng immediately.

After Lu Sheng took it, he bowed down and retreated, and after Su You watched him go away, he returned to the banquet just now.

Li Mi, Su Yunfan, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Ma Han and others were still discussing endlessly how to defend the mountain road army of Duan Ruqi and Pu of the Showa Kingdom at the same time.

"Guys, are there any good plans?" Su You returned to his seat, looked at the people who had been silent, and immediately asked.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Mi had no choice but to speak, "Mi thinks that it is better to wait for work at ease, and to prepare more materials to defend the city and consume them is the best policy; When the Eastern Army comes from behind the country's back, it will be the day of our counteroffensive. ”

Su You nodded and said with a smile, "The idea is good, but it's too dependent on the Dongfu people." ”

"I have a more radical approach, but it's too risky" Su Yunfan immediately spoke, but his face was not very good, obviously he had just said his idea, but it was not understood by everyone in the audience.

"Why don't you say it?" Su You nodded, he didn't decide that he would definitely accept Yun Fan's suggestion, but Yun Fan's daring to express his thoughts was obviously what he liked.

Su Yunfan immediately asked seriously, "I mean, can we make a time difference?" ”

Su You nodded, and smiled and motioned for him to continue, "Time difference? What's the time difference? ”

Su Yunfan immediately analyzed it eloquently, "The intelligence has already stated that Fu Guozhao will arrive in four days, and Duan Ruqi will come in five days, and they have agreed to start attacking Lincang City at the same time on the fifth day or after the fifth day. Why did he come a day early? Isn't it because of our moat? For the battle that he is not sure of, he must first be tempted."

"Getting to the point." Su You said uncertainly.

"The point is, Fu Guozhao will come first, Duan Ruqi will come later, if we want to expand this time difference, there are only two ways" Su Yunfan said the situation between the two sides in a divergent way of thinking.

"One is to let Yu Guozhao come early, and the other is to let Duan Ruqi come later." Su You obviously didn't have much pressure on such a question.

"Whether they come or not is not the point, we are mainly here to understand the siege of Lincang. So, I thought, can we go up the Lancang River and intercept them on their way? ”

Su You listened to Su Yunfan's words, and his heart suddenly became relieved, his words coincided with Su You's thoughts.

Of course, Su You couldn't show too much happiness at this time, but nodded and said with a faint smile, "Good idea." ”

Su Yunfan got Su You's encouragement, and immediately said his strategy, "I used to go out to play, and I knew that the Lancang River, ten miles away from Lincang City, has narrow waters; As long as we lay down the dark stake here in advance, their ship will not be able to move forward, and as long as our artillery is fired at that time, they will definitely not return. ”

When everyone listened to Su Yunfan's complete expression of his thoughts, they all looked at each other a little,—— this method is really feasible! After they were secretly ashamed, they couldn't help but look at Su Yunfan for a while, they couldn't imagine that he was so resourceful at such a young age.

Su You was still a little worried, "A few miles upstream of that narrow mouth, it's all flat land; If the boat behind them discovers the anomaly and rushes to kill on horseback, we are afraid that we will not be able to eat and walk around. ”

Su Yunfan shook his head disapprenously, "Just be prepared to resist the horse in advance." Dad, if they are 70,000 people besieging the city, we won't be able to eat and walk around. ”

Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others also felt that Su Yunfan's plan was feasible, and immediately suggested to Su You.

Su You's first thought was also this strategy, and now that they are united, there is naturally nothing to discourage.
