After a long time, King Li seemed to have made up his mind, closed his eyes and said: "This matter should be passed by him, but he has wronged Xiao Qiao." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang Juzheng smiled with relief, King Li is no longer as high-spirited as he was three years ago, not to mention being organized, at least in terms of major matters, he will still take care of the overall situation.

turned to comfort Li Wang and said: "Miss Xiao Qiao doesn't want much, the lord takes more time to visit her, which is all he wants the most, as for whether it is in the side house or the inner courtyard, it doesn't matter." ”

King Li nodded, but still said: "Let's clean it up, wait for the soldiers to come over, I haven't eaten this morning." ”

Zhang Juzheng frowned and said with a smile: "I didn't eat either, but I'm going to trouble the lord." ”

Li Wang walked forward with a black face, ignoring Zhang Juzheng, who was not ashamed to follow behind his buttocks, and came to the kitchen quietly, trying to get some nutritious dishes.

As soon as the hour arrived, the sky was already dark, and Shi Shiran, the king of Li who had breakfast, came to the main hall, and the full hall of soldiers had already gathered, just waiting for the roll call of King Li.

Zhang Juzheng returned to the first place, led the soldiers to salute, and then sat on the stool specially given by King Li, and did not speak.

At this time, Li Jing bowed his hand and said: "Lord, after declaring war on Yang Biao, our army deployed and controlled the Yellow River on a large scale, Wang Shouren was forced to give up the townships and counties around Hanguguan under pressure, which can be said to be fully open, but Zhu Yuanzhang was eyeing the west bank, and the order for the lord to attack came, so I let the army choke the throat and did not move. ”

King Li nodded, and said: "I know, this time I called my cousin back to the party, which is to explain the war of Si Li, and now Yang Biao and others in the Guan Nei do not know that I am holding the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, we can make a fuss about this, spread a message among the people, ruin Yang Biao's reputation, and at the same time, also improve my reputation, we must make the people's hearts move closer to our army when the war starts, otherwise the people mutiny, which will hinder our army's large-scale advance." ”

Li Jing bowed his hand and promised: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Li Wang continued: "This year, the weather is depressed, the thick clouds will not disperse, I am afraid that the heavy snow will come in advance, the army of Shouyang Mountain can be withdrawn as soon as possible, and don't force Luoyang too tightly, the rebound is enough for us to drink a pot, and the task of shipbuilding is also put aside, recruit some craftsmen, and start to build siege equipment based on cloud cars, wells, and rushing cars, and it is large-scale manufacturing, and it will be used to attack Luoyang in the coming year, by the way, how wide is the pool in Luoyang?" ”

This pool is the meaning of the moat (moat), the Han Dynasty already has, the width can be two or three zhang, it is difficult to cross, even if the sand and gravel are filled, it is difficult to pad up in ten days and half a month, and the enemy army is not a decoration, you dare to fill the river, people will not use bows and arrows to strike?

Zhuge Jin has been to Luoyang and has a good understanding of the situation there: "Most of the Central Plains city walls are surrounded by rammed earth, but Luoyang is built of large stones, and the rammed earth is fixed, and it may be difficult to rush the car, and the pool in Luoyang is less than three zhang, about a hundred steps away from the city wall." ”

Li Wang pondered for a while, and said: "Attacking Luoyang is different from other small cities, rushing the car is still a necessary weapon, you can't let the flesh and blood of the soldiers go up to hit the door, but you don't have to be too much, based on twenty cars, let's rush to make it, but the flying bridge is built more, and it can't fill the pool in Luoyang, then I will cross it, this and the well are rushed together, the more the merrier." ”

Li Jing gave his hand again: "Obey." ”

The so-called flybridge is also a kind of wooden car, four wooden wheels are arranged in front and back, there are planks on it, and then above is a rebound type of long wooden frame, when the flybridge rushes to the moat, it can just rely on inertia to erect above, which is convenient for soldiers to pass.

Then Zhuge Jin came out and said: "Lord, the regular flying bridge is less than two zhang, if you want to cross the pool in Luoyang, you have to go more than three zhang, Sili's road is difficult to walk, so it is difficult to transport manpower, and it is difficult to rush up the heavy flying bridge on the flat ground, that is to say, if you want to build it on the pool, it is difficult to do it in one of the ten cars." ”

King Li frowned and said, "Then we use a ladder as a frame, with wooden planks glued to it, maybe across the pool?" ”

Li Jing thought about that scene, shook his head and said: "Luoyang, as an ancient capital, is extremely rich in equipment to defend the city, although it has experienced a destruction of the city, but Cao Cao is also repaired according to the specifications of the imperial capital, Luoyang at this time is probably not worse than before, and it is even more possible." ”

King Li frowned, it was like this in ancient times, the equipment was simple, and most of the sieges relied on people to pile up, and it was difficult to be effective, so the ratio of offensive and defensive casualties in many large-scale siege battles could reach 5:1, or even more.

At this time, after the crowd, a man arched his hand and said: "I have a way, but I can relieve this worry for General Zhenguo." ”

Li Wang looked at it and found that he didn't know this person, it should be a newly promoted talent: "Come quickly, if it works, I will reward you." ”

The man bowed his hand, neither humble nor arrogant: "For the general Zhenguo, I don't dare to ask for a reward." After the salute, he said, "What I mean is, surround but not fight." ”

Li Wang was stunned for a moment, and said a little angrily: "Bold, could it be that you are playing with me?" The walls of Luoyang City are thick, not to mention 50,000 people, even 500,000 can't surround it. ”

The man pretended to be frightened, bowed to the ground and said: "Since the general knows that Luoyang City is thick and the walls are thick, why do you still want to attack Luoyang, don't you know that there are more than 50,000 troops in Luoyang City, and we can only attack the grasshopper shaking the tree, and the mantis arm is used as a car." ”

A word woke up King Li, stunned for a moment, and suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, yes, the offensive and defensive ratio is so high, how to attack the city?

It seems that he underestimated Wang Shouren too much, 99 points of intelligence at least in front of the hall, no one can match, even if it is Li Jing, there is a little gap, this plan seems to have been set a long time ago, abandon most of the division, lure the enemy deep, then the morale of the high state army will definitely not be a lifetime, as the so-called want to make it perish, you must first make it expand, the army is dangerous, Wang Shouren, Wang Shouren, good calculation.

King Li suddenly turned to Li Jing and said, "My cousin should have also seen the intention, why didn't he remind me earlier." ”

Li Jing arched his hand and said: "The battlefield situation is ever-changing, Wang Shouren can be arranged, we can also be arranged, as long as the position is the same, it is also the best policy to see the move, I am ashamed, I just noticed that Wang Shouren must have a plan, but not as deep as this old man thinks." ”

Li Wang nodded helplessly, if he wanted to say that it affected Li Jing's judgment, he still had to blame himself, he repeatedly asked Li Jing to beware of Zhu Yuanzhang, but he underestimated Wang Shouren, which made him make a mistake in judgment, this time there was a suspicion of an axe in the class.

As a master, he naturally couldn't expand his faults, and changed the topic: "This gentleman looks like a face, and I don't know where he is?" ”

At this time, Zhang Juzheng arched his hand and said: "The Lord promised me to open the shogunate, and this person is my right-hand man, named Li Si, and he has made great efforts to assist me in completing the copywriting of the French language." ”
