In the bright room, Liu Qing put the map on the ground, and then called Sun Jian, as well as Lu Wen and Lu Chang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

These three people are the only people he can really trust now, and if he wants to find a way to defeat the enemy, of course, he has to brainstorm. Lu Wen and Lu Chang, the two of them have followed Ling Feng for many years, Liu Qing absolutely believes it, and Sun Jian, although he has only taken refuge for a year, but after contact, Liu Qing knows that Sun Jian can be trusted. As for why Chu Jun was not called, one was just loyal, although Liu Qing was sure of trust, but he should not be careless, and besides, Chu Jun might not have a good way to come, so for the sake of safety, he was still excluded.

In the room, Liu Qing was sitting cross-legged on the ground, staring at a piece of the map with his eyes, and the place he was looking at was the surrounding area of Crouching Tiger City and Jiang Yiyuan's camp.

Seeing Lu Wen, Lu Chang and Sun Jian walking in, Liu Qing got up and said: "This is a detailed topography map of the three northern counties, mountains and rivers, towns, hills and rivers, at a glance; Let's take a look at what we do next. ”

Lu Chang glanced at the side, indicating that he was not interested, and found a seat to sit down.

Liu Qing didn't care about him.

Sun Jian and Lu Wen walked over and stared at the map for a long time.

"This map is drawn very carefully, was it drawn by General Liu?"

Liu Qing said with a smile: "Of course not, I found someone to draw it, although there are many maps in the world, but the detailed map of the three northern counties is only this one." And on this, I also drew the current situation of our army and Jiang Yiyuan's army, so that I can better understand the battle situation. ”

Lu Wen and Sun Jian stared at the map.

Liu Qing said: "The battle situation is already obvious, we have to defend a lot of places, in addition to the four cities in front, there is also a large area of wilderness in the southwest, I have ordered my lieutenant general to build three strong military camps on the field, each battalion garrisoned 10,000 troops, to coordinate with each other. ”

"The left flank and right flank of our army, there are three cities, each city garrison 20,000, elite soldiers and Tuntian soldiers are mixed, I have ordered reliable generals to preside over military affairs, and we are now in Crouching Tiger City, there are 110,000 soldiers, Qingliang is also rapidly increasing troops here, I don't think of half a month, our army's strength can reach its peak."

"And what we have to face now is that Jiang Yiyuan is very likely to attack me in the next three days, but Crouching Tiger City is not very strong, we are not fully prepared, if we fight, our army will be difficult to resist."

Liu Qing said as he made a gesture on the map, and what he said was reasonable, well-founded and orderly.

Lu Wen and Sun Jian listened while thinking silently...

After a long time, Sun Jian frowned and said, "The enemy army is too strong, it is really difficult to keep Qingliang; In terms of field warfare, Jiang Yiyuan had 40,000 iron cavalry and 5,000 chariots, which were infinitely powerful; As for siege warfare, there are many others, and the siege equipment is already complete, and once the war starts, I am worried.... ”

"Hey, Master Sun, I asked you to come with an idea, not to block me, I don't know what you said, but we have to face it, he is strong by him, we must come up with a way to deal with it." Liu Qing said with a slightly gloomy face.

"Yes, yes, you see me talking about this again..." Sun Jian smiled awkwardly and looked at the map again.

Lu Wen said: "I think there is no way but to defend it, Jiang Yiyuan has no trebuchets here, and we have, there are ten trebuchets in Crouching Tiger City, which have arrived yesterday, if we make good use of it, we will definitely make Jiang Yiyuan suffer a lot of losses." ”

Liu Qing said: "Only trebuchets are not enough, we should think of more powerful killing moves, Crouching Tiger City is only a small county after all, it is difficult to resist a long-term attack... Alas, it's a pity that we don't have a ballista, and if we do, it will definitely help defend the city. ”

Ballistas, originally there were three in the county town of Qingliang County, but unfortunately they were destroyed when they broke through the county town of Qingliang last time, and this kind of large-scale weapon of destruction is only available in important county towns, even if there are no such as Chu County and Qiang County.

Liu Qing didn't want to mention what he didn't have, so he waved his hand and asked, "General Lu, how much oil has been prepared in the city?" ”

"Oil... Hehe, there is a lot of fire oil, you can rest assured, you can't use it up, all the fire oil in Qingliang County and Chu County has been gathered by me, Li Yungang, Lord Li and Zhang Guozhong, Lord Zhang also let the family donate a lot. ”

Sun Jian said: "That's good, with the oil and oil, we finally have the capital to resist, as the saying goes, fire and water are ruthless, and when we attack the city, we will go down, and the soldiers who will keep the siege will not return." ”

"Although Jiang Yiyuan is shrewd, but in my opinion, he can't do anything about it, as soon as the oil is ignited, what else can he do except wait for it to be extinguished."

Kerosene! No matter which battle to defend the city, it is a big killer!

Since the Great War of the Central Plains, there have been many major battles in the world, and the use of fire oil to kill the enemy has also been staged in various places, and every time you attack, the enemy will be killed and injured heavily.

"Huh... I think this place should be garrisoned, maybe it will be useful later. Suddenly, Sun Jian raised his hand and pointed to a very small black dot on the map, judging from the marks on the map, it was a small hill with a radius of less than five miles, but it was actually not a mountain, because the terrain was not high.

Liu Qing was puzzled and said: "This mountain is less than five miles in radius, too close to Jiang Yiyuan's camp, and there is no danger to defend. ”

"Hehe, I just want him to go and never come back."

Sun Jian said with a smile: "Because this mountain is not big, the trees on the mountain have long been exhausted, and many have fallen, if we build a small camp here, then Jiang Yiyuan will lead a large army to conquer, and then we will prepare enough oil to burn this mountain to ashes... The general thinks about it, how is this plan? ”

This can be described as a bitter ploy, using a small number of soldiers as bait to destroy most of the enemy's forces with fire oil.

Liu Qing's eyes lit up, and his face was full of joy.

Lu Wen smiled: "Okay, this is a good plan." General, I think I can give it a try, then Jiang Yiyuan will definitely not think of it. ”

Liu Qing nodded and said, "Okay, when the third watch is over, I will send 5,000 people to see how Jiang Yiyuan reacts." ”

Liu Qing was extremely pleased, the secret path still needs to brainstorm, no, isn't it just to come up with a good plan; In the past, he always felt that every time there was a big battle, it was redundant for Ling Feng to always convene generals to discuss matters, because as long as Ling Feng came up with a plan by himself, basically no one objected. But now he knows that sometimes a seemingly inconspicuous person can come up with a good idea. Of course, Sun Jian also belongs to the kind of resourcefulness, which is not the same as Lu Chang, Chu Jun and others.

Next, the four of them continued to discuss many strategies to see if they could come up with a solution, and it was not until late that Lu Wen and the other three left.

After the three left, Liu Qing went to the barracks to transfer troops, and secretly arranged for 3,000 people to go to the dense forest.

Liu Qing promised that as long as he was willing to go to the dense forest and voluntarily give up his life, he would be rewarded with fifty gold, which would be sent to the soldier's home after his death.

Fifty gold, for the wealthy gentry is nothing, but for ordinary people, it is a huge amount of money, can bury ordinary shops, can make a large family of people have enough food and clothing, in this era of military disasters every year, if you can have enough food and clothing, no matter how much the price is paid, I am afraid that some people are willing.

Of course, there are also many soldiers who are unwilling, compared with gold, they still feel that it is more important to live, for these people, Liu Qing did not force it, the dignified army of more than 100,000 people, can always find out so 3,000 people, can always find those who are not afraid of death.

After some efforts to induce, finally, after a few hours, Liu Qing found more than 3,000 people, all of these people have a large family waiting to eat, if they don't take the money back, they may all starve to death, in order to save their families, the soldiers voluntarily gave up their lives, expressing their willingness to go to the dense forest to die. Liu Qing was overjoyed, but also assured the soldiers that as long as they could successfully complete this mission, the reward of fifty gold would be sent to the soldiers' homes.

In the middle of the night, 3,000 soldiers secretly left Crouching Tiger City and headed towards the dense forest that Sun Jian had mentioned before...

It is less than twenty miles from Crouching Tiger City to the dense forest, and if you go on foot, you can get there in two hours faster, and three hours slower, but in any case, you can't wait for dawn. (To be continued.) )
