What is a clever plan?

A plan that can achieve the goal is a clever plan.

How can this be achieved?

Find your opponent's weakness and make the most of it, so that your opponent knows that this is a poison and can only swallow it.

What is Huaizong's weakness? It's pride, it's the wind and snow, and it's the great shame brought about by being captured by Liu Xiusheng and breaking his legs. Liu Xiu saw all of these thoroughly, so he only used a painting to hit Huai Zong's death hole. As for the reaction of the Splitting Wind and the pressure he brought to Huai Zong, that was only an external factor.

In the 5,000-year-old culture, the most developed of the Chinese is the conspiracy, perhaps because the conspiracy is too developed, so they believe that the conspiracy is omnipotent, because they ignore the hard power, and when they find that in the face of real strength, the conspiracy is just a clown's trick, China fell into a dire semi-colonial and semi-feudal era.

It was an era of humiliation, but it is not yet, although the Han is crumbling, but there is still enough deterrence in front of the Xianbei people, at least in the attack and defense of the city, the Han people have an absolute advantage.

Liu Xiu's purpose was to make Huaizong give up the advantage of the Xianbei people in cavalry and archery, and instead come to attack the city. Huai Zong is not stupid, although Dou Gui is inexperienced, he still has knowledge, if he wants them to give up their strengths and weaknesses and be tough on Ning Cheng, they must have extremely high tricks for their surnames. Despite this, Liu Xiu still felt lucky, and felt that it was definitely worth sacrificing his life outside the city to capture Wind Crack, otherwise he would definitely not be able to provoke a famous general like Wind Crack.

From the time he spit out a sentence of "Ah Xue, don't blame me", Liu Xiu knew this. The success of the strategy is often based on the mistakes of the other party, although Liu Xiu thinks that he has a very accurate grasp of people's hearts, but he does not dare to pin all his hopes on the fact that Wind Crack will make such a mistake.

Now that the wind is cracked in the dungeon, he may have seen through Liu Xiu's thoughts, but he can't play a role, the three generals in the camp outside the city are not as calm as him, or rather, without him being cold-blooded, in the face of Liu Xiu's stimulation, they don't have a heart like the wind crack, and they can't do the eight winds without moving.

"My lord, it's just luck." Liu Xiu said modestly: "Whether we can win this battle in the end depends on the strategy of the adults and the bloody battles of the warriors. ”

Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction, and said to Zhang Wu: "Go and tell the envoy of Huaizong that the wind and snow are worth three thousand good horses, the wind crack is worth five thousand, and another two thousand stone grains will be sent, this price should be worthy of the crown princess of the Xianbei people and the adults of the Niutou tribe." ”

Zhang Wu couldn't help laughing, gave a salute, and strode out.

Xia Yu nodded at Wang Chan with his hand: "It is your responsibility to let Huai Zong run away last time, during this time you are shouting every day and are not convinced, I will give you a chance to prove your courage and take two hundred people to guard the south gate." ”

Wang Chan came out of the queue and responded loudly.

"Xian Yuyin, you take the Gujun soldiers and guard the east gate."

Fresh in silver out of the line salute.

"How about you guarding the West Gate?"

Zhang He got up and bowed in response.

"Deran, you protect Mr. Zixing, you are on the city wall, and you are not allowed to go out of the city to engage in battle without my order."

Liu Xiu had some questions, but he didn't say anything, and got up to agree. Xia Yu immediately arranged the guards on the city walls of each gate, Liu Xiu and Lu Min had been listening carefully, and it was a rare opportunity for them to listen to a famous general like Xia Yu arrange the battle. Zhang He thought the same way, although he stood aside silently, quiet as a virgin, but his focused eyes showed a happy light from time to time, obviously he gained a lot.

After Xia Yu finished his instructions, Liu Xiu accompanied Lu Min out of the school captain's mansion, Lu Min was silent until he went up to the city wall, then suddenly stopped, turned to Liu Xiu and said, "Deran, don't you think there is a problem with Lord Xia Yu's arrangement?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled quietly, and said in his heart Lu Min has grown a lot these days, and when he had doubts, he didn't question Xia Yu in person, but endured it until now. He blinked: "What's the problem?" ”

"If you engage the Xianbei people, the most dangerous place is inside the Fengyuan outside the city gate, once it is lost, the Xianbei people will sooner or later clear the barricades outside the city and start Fucheng. It stands to reason that these places should arrange the most elite manpower, why did he only arrange the county soldiers of Shanggu and the volunteers of Jizhou at the east gate and the west gate in addition to the south gate? He glanced at Zhang He, who was calm, "Is he using us as a ditch filler?" ”

Liu Xiu touched his chin and turned his head to look at Zhang He: "Junyi, what do you think?" ”

Zhang He pondered for a moment, and said in a harmonious voice: "Lord Captain left all the elites in the city, presumably as a reserve force, to rescue everywhere at any time, and to leave strength for counterattacks. He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The south gate is the main direction of attack of the Xianbei people, and he arranged Wang Chan, but it is all the elite of his subordinates, so there should be no eccentricity." ”

Liu Xiu didn't speak, turned his head to look at Lu Min, Lu Min still didn't believe it, but he wasn't so worried. He thought for a while, and then said: "Junyi, I will allocate some of the troops brought by Zhuoxian County to you, I don't believe it, we can't guard a city gate." ”

Zhang He hurriedly thanked him. Liu Xiu smiled and patted Zhang He's shoulder: "Senior brother, don't worry, with Jun Yi and his Zhang family's halberd, we may not have a chance to play." When the time comes, righteousness may not give us the opportunity to fight. ”

Zhang He was a little embarrassed, and even said how dare he. They stood on the tower of the West Gate and began to study the coming battle. Xia Yu arranged several lines of defense outside the city wall, the outermost city was a horse rejection, and then a deep ditch dug by the homeless people, one zhang wide and one zhang deep, and sharpened wooden stakes were planted in the ditch. Then came a Feng wall, which was made of earth dug out of a ditch, about a man high, just for the soldiers to hide behind. And Zhang He and Wang Chan's task was to intercept and kill the besieging enemy behind Feng Yuan. Behind them were a few more rejections. The deep ditch was fifty paces from the city wall, and if the enemy tried to climb this deep ditch, he would face a crossfire attack from the city and behind Feng Yuan.

Until these fortifications were cleared, the gates were secure, and few weapons could attack the walls other than crossbows. And the Xianbei people have more bows and arrows, and there are few strong crossbows with long range, and as for the large stone throwing machine, it is not even a shadow to be seen. If they want to attack the city, the best way to fill it with human lives is to besiege it without attacking it.

The guards behind Feng Yuan were the most dangerous, they were within range of the opponent's bow and arrow, and once the opponent jumped over the deep ditch or tried to fill the deep ditch, they had to crush the opponent at the first time and crush their attempt. At this time, it is necessary to jump out of Feng Yuan to counterattack, and it is necessary to expose the opponent to the dense rain of arrows and fight with the enemy.

It is not unreasonable for Lu Min to have such worries, but Zhang He is calm as usual and does not see worry at all. He went down the city, measured the distance between the rejection horses step by step, pushed the rejection horses planted in the soil with his hands, tried to see if they were stable, and then jumped into the deep pit himself and tried to climb up. Liu Xiu was not idle, he took Zhang Fei and the Mao family to go down to the city together, familiar with the terrain, once the war started, they were Zhang He's reserve force, ready to meet Zhang He at any time to ensure that the West Gate was not lost.

Lu Min hesitated for a moment, then put on his armor and went down to the city.

Huai Zong received Xia Yu's reply, and Dou Gui looked at each other and smiled bitterly, so he had to order to prepare for the siege of the city, right here, Li Ding rushed to Ningcheng with Liu Yu's kindness, Huai Zong was overjoyed, and sent Li Ding politely into the city, but Xia Yu did not wait for Li Ding to finish Liu Yu's words asking him to hand over the wind and snow and wind cracks, so he ordered him to be put under house arrest, and Li Ding was so angry that he scolded.

Huai Zong didn't see Li Ding out of the city, and knew that the negotiations were hopeless, so he had to make up his mind to attack the city.
