Lao Hui Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Nine Dragons and King Shuntian and others also almost stayed awake all night.

The battle of the first day of attacking the city of Huangzhou was too tragic, and the losses of the righteous army were too great, if the attack continued in this way, perhaps the battle of the second carriage gorge would appear again, which also made Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others think of the battle of Shouzhou, the city of Huangzhou could not be captured for a long time, and if the official army was reinforced in time, the righteous army would be in great danger.

After deliberating in the middle of the night, everyone thought of a better way.

Finally, he created such an opportunity to dispatch the official army to Nanzhili, and won the opportunity to attack the Huangzhou capital, if he could take the Huangzhou capital, the supply of the righteous army would be greatly replenished.

No one is willing to give up such a fighter.

When the day was about to dawn, the discussion still had no results, all the arrangements were correct, but unfortunately they encountered hard bones, and the sergeants in Huangzhou Mansion were too powerful.

Lao Hui looked back at the crowd, ready to end the discussion.

Just as he was about to speak, Gu Junen, who had rarely spoken all night, spoke.

"I have an idea, I don't know if it's appropriate."

Gu Junen opened his mouth and left, attracting everyone's attention.

Gu Junen is a strategist under Li Zicheng, with a certain amount of knowledge, the battle of Chezhou Gorge, if it weren't for Gu Junen's plan to surrender, maybe at that time, the righteous army would have suffered heavy losses, or even be wiped out, Gu Junen rarely spoke on weekdays, but as long as he spoke, the plan put forward was not ordinary.

Gu Junen walked to the side of the map and pointed in the direction of Luo Tian Guangji and Huang Mei and spoke.

"The officers and soldiers were attracted to Nanzhili by us, and the soldiers were divided into two routes, respectively into Luzhou Mansion and Anqing Mansion, and now rushed to Huangzhou from two places, according to the information obtained, Hong Chengchou led the official army from the direction of Luotian to Huangzhou, and He Renlong led the official army to Huangzhou from the direction of Guangji, they must have known that the righteous army besieged Huangzhou Fucheng, so they took a rapid march to reinforce Huangzhou."

When Gu Junen said this, Lao Huihui's eyes lit up, but he didn't speak, but waited for Gu Junen to continue.

"The official army is a total of 60,000 people, divided into two roads, the number of troops is insufficient, and they have taken a rapid march to reinforce the Huangzhou capital, I think we don't have to stick to attacking the Huangzhou capital, you can try to attack the two ways of the official army, yesterday attacked the Huangzhou capital, the righteous army suffered a lot of losses, if it is not able to take the Huangzhou capital city in a short period of time, and wait for the arrival of the official army's reinforcements, the righteous army was forced to evacuate, then the loss will be huge, in the attack on the Huangzhou capital city and the two aspects of ambushing the reinforcements of the official army, My personal opinion is biased towards setting up ambushes to attack officers and soldiers. ”

"Hong Chengchou has always despised the righteous army, if it weren't for his contempt, the righteous army would not have been able to kill Cao Wenzhao, I think that since the righteous army can kill Cao Wenzhao and destroy Cao Wenzhao's three thousand Guanning iron cavalry, then it is also possible to defeat the officers and troops who have been reinforced all the way."

"My personal opinion, strike hard from the direction of Luotian reinforcements of the officers and troops, there is still time on the top, we choose a good ambush location, to give the officers and troops a heavy blow, the specific deployment is, leave 20,000 people to besiege the Huangzhou capital, tents and so on do not dismantle, confuse the officers and troops guarding the city, another 20,000 people, set up an ambush in the Qizhou area, block the army reinforced by He Renlong, as long as they can delay the time of their reinforcements, it is enough, the rest of the army, all dispatched to the direction of Luotian to Huangzhou, quickly set up an ambush circle, striking hard at the officers and soldiers. ”

After Gu Junen finished speaking, a smile appeared on Lao Huihui's face, and the rest of the people also nodded slightly.

"Okay, Gu Junen's strategy is very good, since we have won the opportunity, we don't necessarily have to take the Huangzhou Mansion City, as long as we can create a chance to defeat the official army, it is the same, use 100,000 troops to set up an ambush to encircle and suppress the official army, this is enough to win, when we killed Cao Wenzhao, we used the same method, we have the advantage in numbers."

When Lao Hui said this, he looked at Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

Li Zicheng nodded and spoke.

"This plan is very good, the direction of Luotian is the official army led by Hong Chengchou, if we can kill Hong Chengchou, it will be a huge blow to the official army, that is, if we can't kill Hong Chengchou, defeat him, it will also be a huge blow to the official army, so that we can gain a good foothold in the Huguang Henan area, and even be able to attack Nanzhili."

Zhang Xianzhong followed and spoke.

"Yes, just do it according to this method, and you must do it ruthlessly."

The Nine Dragons and King Shun Tian no longer need to express their opinions.

Lao Hui spoke again.

"Okay, I will deploy like this, I will lead 20,000 soldiers to set up an ambush in Qizhou to block the army led by He Renlong, General Zhang will lead 30,000 soldiers, waiting outside the city of Huangzhou Mansion to confuse the officials and troops in the city, and King Chuang will lead 90,000 soldiers to set up an ambush in the direction of Luotian to encircle and suppress the officers and soldiers."

The most convincing thing about the arrangement of the old man is that he always chooses the most difficult task, but this time Zhang Xianzhong quit.

"I don't agree with this arrangement, encircling and suppressing the official army in the direction of Luotian, the task is heavy, King Chuang and I both have to participate, Lao Huihui can lead 25,000 people, stationed outside the city of Huangzhou, confuse the official army, Jiutiao Dragon and King Shuntian lead 20,000 people, block the reinforcements of He Renlong."

The atmosphere instantly became delicate.

The battle of encircling and suppressing Hong Chengchou is the most critical, and it is also the core of the strategy, the credit is also huge, Zhang Xianzhong is unwilling to miss this opportunity, this can be understood, guarding outside the city of Huangzhou should be the most relaxed, nothing more than to confuse the officials and troops in the city, it is not a big deal not to attack, anyway, the officers and troops in Huangzhou City will not take the initiative to attack, and the battle to block He Renlong is the most dangerous, after all, the number is about the same, and the combat effectiveness of the righteous army is not as good as the official army, everyone knows.

Zhang Xianzhong is unwilling to take on the most arduous task every time, and does not want to have any danger in Lao Huihui.

Li Zicheng also spoke.

"I agree, General Zhang's construction is good, Lao Hui is stationed outside the Huangzhou Mansion City, if the Nine Dragons Shun Heavenly King is in danger, Lao Hui Hui can lead the army to reinforcements, anyway, we have no intention of capturing the Huangzhou Mansion City, as for the actions after defeating the official army, that is the next step to discuss, the core of this operation is to defeat the official army led by Hong Chengchou."

The faces of the nine dragons and the king of Shuntian were not very good, but unfortunately they did not choose, after the original Xingyang Conference, they chose to act alone from the righteous army, and they had already lowered their status, if they were not integrated into the army of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, they were afraid that they would have been surrounded and suppressed by the official army.

Lao Hui thought for a moment and shook his head.

"King Chuang and General Zhang went to attack the officers and troops under Hong Chengchou, this arrangement can be, as for the battle to block He Renlong, it is also very critical, the number of people does not occupy an advantage, then you need to confuse the officers and soldiers, confuse He Renlong, this battle, there can be no problem with any aspect of the arrangement, relatively speaking, besieged outside the city of Huangzhou, relatively easy, I look at the adjustment, the sergeants stationed outside the city are adjusted to 20,000, and the sergeants who block He Renlong are adjusted to 25,000 people, The two of us and I were in charge of stopping the Heren Dragon, and King Shun was in charge of garrisoning this place. ”

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong looked at each other, and could only nod their heads in agreement, they knew very well that the battle to block He Renlong was very important, if He Renlong broke through the blockade and came to the capital city of Huangzhou, united the officials and troops in the city, and pounced in the direction of Luotian, then the whole battle, the righteous army fell into a huge passivity.

Before dawn, the action began.

The rebel army began to assemble secretly, part of it moved in the direction of Luotian, a large number of scouts went to reconnoiter the ambush site, and the other part went in the direction of Qizhou, choosing the best ambush location, and the rebel army left outside the Huangzhou capital city, only 20,000 people remained, and these 20,000 people were responsible for confusing the officials and troops in the city.

This was an unexpected arrangement, the rebels took advantage of the night to quietly evacuate, and it was impossible for the officers and soldiers in the city to see, let alone know, and they were still deploying to defend the city.

The sky finally dawned, and the first month was the coldest season, with short days and long nights.

Lu Xiangsheng personally commanded the attack of the Liukou.

What made him feel strange was that the rogues not far away were crowded one after another, looking very lively, but there was no sign of attacking, and he could even see the rogues walking around, walking in a hurry.

Until noon, the rogues did not launch a real attack, and several times they saw that the rogues had already lined up and were ready to attack, and finally gave up.

This made Lu Xiangsheng puzzled, could it be that the Liukou had suffered too heavy losses in the first day of fighting, so he needed time to rest.

Liukou does not attack, for Huangzhou City, it is a great thing, delay time is beneficial to Huangzhou City, is not good for Liukou, after all, the army led by Hong Chengchou will soon reinforce Huangzhou City.

It wasn't until the end of the day that the Liukou really launched a small-scale attack, with hundreds of men charging, and after a rain of arrows from the city walls, the Liukou quickly retreated.

A full day passed, and the rogue launched this tentative attack.

The prefect of Huangzhou and the others are very happy, if the Liukou does not attack, maybe they are afraid, and they may have to evacuate in a short time, as long as the state city can be guarded, the rest is easy to say.

After dark, Lu Xiangsheng locked himself in the wing of the palace, thinking hard about the map, he didn't know why the Liukou didn't launch a large-scale attack, after all, time is not good for the Liukou, once the imperial army reinforces the Huangzhou capital, the Liukou is very likely to be surrounded.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xiangsheng, who was exhausted, couldn't think of anything, and fell asleep deeply.
