Li Guanqi naturally understood the truth that the cavalry was good at field warfare but not good at attacking fortifications, so when he led his troops to Xiangyang City, he did not choose to attack the city, but set up camp ten miles away from Xiangyang City, and admired this famous city up close.

Chen Guangxi's main energy now is on wine, and Chen Yinjie is not interested in fighting, so Guo Meng has become the real commander of the Xiangyang City guards. Considering that Li Guanqi was extremely good at sneak attacks, Guo Meng decided to completely hand over the task of defending the city to the original defenders of Xiangyang City, that is, his own troops, because they were more familiar with the defense of Xiangyang City. But he forgot that he was now doing something that was very likely to cause Chen Guangxi's displeasure.

In fact, Chen Guangxi didn't know about this matter, and the first to be dissatisfied was Chen Guangxi's relatives, and they talked about it one after another:

"Xiangyang City is the Xiangyang City of the Lord, and we are the Lord's descendants! We're not reliable yet? Could it be that he Guo Meng's people are reliable? ”

"Who knows what kind of heart he has in his heart? Maybe he wanted to take the opportunity to arrange all his people in the key links, and took the opportunity to seize our lord's Xiangyang City, so that he could go to the cadre army to ask for a reward! ”

From time to time, someone came to Chen Guangxi to chew his tongue, Chen Guangxi just laughed at these guards at first, but he nagged them a lot, and he couldn't help but call Guo Meng to ask, "General Guo, I don't know when the siege can be lifted?" He asked, rounding the corner.

"It is estimated that it will take a month, I have calculated the grain and grass stored by the cadres, which is about enough to support a month."

"That means your soldiers are going to hold on to this for a long time? It's too hard to keep the gates guarded. I think it's better to use a lonely personal guard! Take some of the pressure off your soldiers. Chen Guangxi said with a smile, he deliberately said the word "your soldier" twice, in order to test Guo Meng.

If it's someone else. At this moment, Chen Guangxi could immediately wake up and doubt himself, but Guo Meng was a person with extremely low emotional intelligence, not only did he not explain when he heard this, but said angrily: "This is the idea that a guy who doesn't understand military affairs gave to the lord?" How can someone else guard such an important place as the city gate? ”

Chen Guangxi's face suddenly became ugly, because this idea was his own idea, and he didn't think that his personal guards were so-called outsiders, if Guo Meng treated them as outsiders. That can only show that Guo Meng himself is an outsider.

"Since General Guo insists on this, Lone is not reluctant! General Guo go and get busy, albeit boldly. Lone has absolute trust in General Guo. Chen Guangxi said with a smile on his face, in fact, the suspicion of Guo Meng in his heart was not eliminated because of this, on the contrary, he began to feel that it was necessary to limit Guo Meng's power in the city.

Guo Meng returned to the tent. Sneered. His lieutenant Gan Tianming asked, "What does the lord ask you for?" ”

Guo Meng repeated what Chen Guangxi said in his account, and Gan Tianming immediately frowned and said, "General! The situation is not good! The lord must not know who he has heard, and he is a little suspicious of us. ”

"Suspicious of us?" When Guo Meng heard this, he became angry and said loudly, "Why does he doubt us? Just rely on his so-called guards who only know how to wear beautiful armor and eat and drink spicy food and spicy food to live in Xiangyang? As for whether you believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway, and it still depends on us! ”

Gan Tianming is well aware of the temper of his general. Afraid that he would be so stupid as he was angry to question Chen Guangxi, he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "I also think it's strange when I say it." Why don't the cadres and troops take action, the situation is not in their favor, and they should fight a quick battle. ”

"What's so strange about that? He's a cavalryman, and he's not good at siege! Guo Meng sat down on the chair and said, "I know that God of War Emperor likes to be surprised, but as long as we recognize one, we will not be able to respond to all changes without change!" There's nothing they can do! ”

"Maybe they came this time to harass and test whether we have a chance, since there is no chance to take advantage of it, they will soon withdraw from the army." Gan Tianming guessed.

The leaders and brains in Xiangyang City are all discussing and speculating about Li Guanqi's "conspiracy", and in fact, the situation in Xiangyang City is also being discussed in Li Guanqi's camp outside the city. Since they came to Xiangyang City, the information in the city has been coming out less and less, which is inevitable, there is going to be a war, the city gates are closed, and the news is naturally not so easy to spread. Especially when Guo Meng's subordinates completely controlled the defense of Xiangyang City, Li Guanqi's contact with Xiangyang City was completely broken.

"Xiangyang City has thick walls, and Guo Meng is also an experienced general, and now the news in the city is also broken. Do we really have to rely on these 10,000 cavalry to attack? Xie Chen asked with a frown.

"After fighting for so long, you're going to have a hard attack by now?" Li Guanqi joked with a smile, "I have told you more than once that the most important thing is people, and only by retaining the living force can we fight better." Kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 yourself, not to mention that if we attack hard now, our losses will be even greater. Why do you want to do a business that is clearly going to lose money? ”

"Your Majesty! So what now? Xie Chen scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I have already planted my eyeliner in Xiangyang City, and I have bought off the people around Chen Guangxi, as long as Guo Meng completely controls the city defense, Chen Guangxi's ears will not be quiet!" Li Guanqi said coldly, "To fight, you have to use your brains. It's not just knives and guns on the battlefield that can kill, sometimes rumors are easier to kill! He paused for a moment, and then said, "Have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow morning, let's go to meet this Guo Meng!" There are 100,000 defenders in Xiangyang City, but he can't shrink back, I really don't know if he is really proficient in the art of war, or just a coward! ”

"Will you meet Guo Meng?" Xie Chen frowned and said, "He is so timid that he dares to go out of the city to see us?" ”

"I don't care if he can't see it!" Li Guanqi smiled indifferently and said, "I don't plan to really see him!" ”

"Huh? So what does Your Majesty mean exactly? Chen really doesn't understand! Xie Chen said with a puzzled face, "Didn't Your Majesty just say that you were going to see him?" ”

Li Guanqi smiled mysteriously and said, "Not bad! I want to see him. But it doesn't have to be to see him. The key is to meet him! And this move will play a crucial role in whether we can capture Xiangyang City. ”

Seeing that Xie Chen and the others were becoming more and more confused in their eyes, Li Guanqi simply stopped explaining, and said with a smile, "It's useless to talk more, you can naturally understand afterwards!" (To be continued......)
