Chapter 432: Counter-Plot

In the evening, Hua'an looked at the map in the big tent of the Chinese army, tomorrow is the last day of rest, early the day after tomorrow, more than 20,000 people and horses of the whole army will set off for Chengdu, Hua'an must prepare in advance.

"Big brother, the second batch of scouts sent to Chengdu have returned, and they have figured out a lot of information." Wang San walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and reported loudly.

When Hua An heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly, what has happened." ”

Wang San smiled at the corner of his mouth and reported: "Big brother, according to the scout's report, Li Shi asked Feng Fu to guard the capital, responsible for the defense of the entire Chengdu, and control all the soldiers and horses in Chengdu. ”

"Oh, Feng Fu, I heard that it is a minister who is loyal to Li Shi! If the soldiers and people of Chengdu are mobilized by him, it will not be easy for our army to attack the city! Hua An had a trace of worry between his eyebrows.

"Big brother, the Shu army in Chengdu only has 7,000 soldiers and horses, and the strength is only one-third of our army, what are you afraid of, our army will definitely be able to break through Chengdu and destroy the Shu Kingdom." Wang San said loudly.

Hua An waved his hand and said: "With the strength of our army, as long as we fight with all our might, we can naturally break through Chengdu, but if the Shu army resists to the death, our army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, which is what the eldest brother does not want to see!" ”

When Wang San heard this, he frowned and said, "Big brother, if you want to reduce casualties, you can send someone to persuade you to surrender, as long as you promise high-ranking officials Houlu, there will definitely be soldiers of the Shu army who surrender." ”

Hearing this, Hua An nodded and said, "That's right. The so-called, the siege of the city is the attack of the heart of the top, only by taking the strategy of attacking the heart, in order to minimize the casualties, Li Guang and Li Fu are Li Shi's brothers, if they are persuaded to surrender, the effect must be good. ”

"Yes, big brother, now, it's time for them to make meritorious contributions. As long as they write a letter of surrender. Send henchmen to Chengdu, and the generals of the Shu army in the city must have those who are willing to surrender to my Great Jin, as long as there is the cooperation of the internal response. It will be much easier for us to break through the city. Wang San said affirmatively.

Hua An thought it was a good idea to write a letter of persuasion. Nodding his head, he said, "Okay." Wang San, you immediately go to tell Li Guang and Li Fu, and ask them to write letters to the Shu generals and ministers of Shu in Chengdu. Promise the high-ranking officials Houlu, let them submit to my Great Jin, go quickly. ”

"Yes, big brother, I'll do it." Wang San answered, turned around and walked out of the tent.

After Wang San left, Hua An looked at the topographic map of Shu in front of him, and began to study the plan to deploy the attack on Chengdu, although there was already a plan to persuade him to surrender, but if there was no strong force display, the generals and ministers of the Shu army in Chengdu would not be so easy to submit, only by showing the invincible strength of the Great Jin, the soldiers of the Shu army and the princes and ministers of the Shu State would succumb, and they would be attached to the Great Jin for the glory and wealth of the second half of their lives.

Because the detailed defense map of the Shu army in Chengdu has not yet been obtained, therefore, Hua'an has not been able to make a prepared deployment, and the detailed siege plan can only be formulated when the scouts in Chengdu send the deployment map of the Shu army, otherwise, it will not be able to know oneself and know the other side in a hundred battles.

However, according to the strength of the Shu army and the defensive strength of the various gates in Chengdu, Hua'an can probably guess the characteristics of the Shu army's defense, the north gate is open, the defense front is large, and it directly faces the Jin army from the north, therefore, the defensive strength must be the most, the situation of the east and west gates is the same, the deployment force should be comparable, the terrain of the south gate is narrow and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the deployment of troops must be the least.

According to these speculations, Hua'an initially formulated a plan to attack Chengdu, that is, on the basis of the original plan, the offensive force in the north will be weakened in order to enhance the strength in the direction of the east gate, and he intends to take the city by surprise and break through the city from the direction of the east gate.

At the same time, considering that Chengdu is the capital of Shu, the city defense must be very strong, Hua'an intends to let the baggage battalion build more siege equipment, only the same as thunderbolts, at least a thousand are needed, and all kinds of large siege equipment are all indispensable.

Even if the Shu army's defense is tight, Hua'an believes that with so many siege weapons, it will definitely be able to break through the defense of the Shu army, so that the Shu army will be frightened, so as to take the initiative to surrender.

Hua An looked at the topographic map of Shuzhong on the case under the candlelight, thought for an hour, and saw that it was getting late, before returning to the back tent to rest.

Early the next morning, as soon as Hua'an got up, Wang San and Li Liang gathered at the door of the Chinese army's tent.

"How long have you been here, why don't you wake me up." Hua An looked at the two of them and said softly.

"Big brother, I just arrived." Wang San replied.

"General, the last general has just arrived." Li Liang replied softly.

Hua An smiled and said, "That's good, I didn't let you wait for a long time, what's the matter, let's talk about it!" “

Li Liang and Wang San glanced at each other and motioned for Wang San to speak first.

Wang San hugged his fists and said: "Big brother, Li Guang and Li Fu have already written letters of persuasion to officials above the fifth rank and generals above the battalion owner in Chengdu according to your instructions, but they are worried that if they write so much at once, they will definitely have an incident, and when the time comes, they are afraid that it will be self-defeating and affect the officials and generals in Chengdu." ”

Hua An smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, it's a good thing that the East Window incident happened!" Think about it, what did Li Shi feel when he learned that his two younger brothers not only betrayed him, but also wrote letters to persuade his subordinates to surrender? Besides, would he doubt the generals and generals under his command? Isn't that a good counter-strategy? ”

"Anti-scheming, big brother, you are really thoughtful! An ordinary letter of persuasion, once found by Li Shi, will become evidence of Li Shi's suspicion of his subordinates, won't this become a counter-plot? Wang San said excitedly.

"Once Li Shi suspects his subordinate courtiers, he will either kill them or abandon them, so that the Shu army in the city is likely to have a panicked situation, and our army will have one less resistance to attacking the city." Hua An opened his mouth and added.

Wang San looked happy, looked at Hua An, and said: "Big brother, I'm going to tell Li Guang and Li Fu, so that they can write a letter of persuasion boldly and boldly, and write as much as they can." ”

"Okay, you can go quickly!" Hua An opened his mouth to agree.

"Yes, big brother." Wang San received the order with a sigh of relief, turned around and walked out of the tent.

After Wang San left, Hua An looked at Li Liang and asked, "General Li, what do you have to report?" ”

"General, the girl from yesterday, she ......" Li Liang hesitated, not knowing what to say.

When Hua An heard this, yesterday's girl was stunned, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with yesterday's girl, do you remember who she is." After speaking, he stared at Li Liang tightly.

Li Liang frowned, and replied softly: "General, the last general is just guessing, and he can't be very sure, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Eh, General Li, if you have something to say, you don't have to spit out." Hua An opened his mouth, so that Li Liang did not have to hesitate.

Li Liang pursed his lips, looked at Hua An, and said softly: "General, after the last general went back yesterday, I thought about it, and I always felt that that girl and Zhuge Qi were even similar, whether it was eyes, nose, mouth, or body shape, they were very similar, but Zhuge Qi had been with the last general for several years, and he was a man!" General, do you think this girl will be Zhuge Qi's sister! ”

Hearing Li Liang say this, Hua An'an was suddenly very curious, and said softly: "Oh, does this Zhuge Qi have a sister?" General Lee has heard of it? ”

Li Liang was stunned for a moment and replied: "This, the last general has worked with Zhuge Qi for several years, and I really haven't heard that Zhuge Qi has a sister in his family, but Zhuge Qi only said that he is the only son in the family, but he didn't say whether he has a sister or sister!" ”

Hua An smiled, looked at Li Liang, and boldly speculated: "General Li, you say, will this Zhuge Qi be a woman!" ”

"Ahh When Li Liang heard this, he opened his mouth wide in surprise, and hurriedly said: "General, how is this possible, Zhuge Qi and the last general have worked together for many years, practiced together, and led troops to fight together, if Zhuge Qi is a woman, how can the last general not notice it?" ”

Hua An put his hand on Li Liang's shoulder and said softly: "Then did General Li take a bath with Zhuge Qi!" ”

Li Liang was stunned when he heard this, and replied truthfully: "General, this is really not true, but Zhuge Qi said that he is used to taking a bath alone, and he has been used to it since he was a child, and it will be very uncomfortable to take a bath with the soldiers." ”

"Oh, that's a special habit! Ha ha! Hua An smiled and said, "The general knows, Zhuge Qi still has such a problem, General Li go back and rest!" ”

"Yes, General, the last general will retire." Li Liang said and turned to leave.

After Li Liang left, Hua An wrapped his hands around and carefully combed up, the girl he met in the market claimed to be surnamed Zhu, according to the homonym is the first word to take Zhuge , from the analysis of the surname, she is very likely to be Zhuge Qi.

At the same time, according to Li Liang's description of his appearance and Zhuge Qi's special appearance in the barracks, Hua An was almost certain that the girl he met was Zhuge Qi himself.

Getting this conclusion, Hua An'an couldn't help but feel a little surprised, he had heard the story of Mulan joining the army for a long time, but he didn't expect to meet a realistic version of Mulan here.

What is a weak woman, hiding in a military camp, training and fighting with men? To protect his family and defend the country, he still had to join the army for his father, Hua Antou was very puzzled about Zhuge Qi's motives.

Thinking of Zhuge Qi's heroic and beautiful face, Hua An felt a lot of regret, if it weren't for the harshly trained army, Zhuge Qi would have been even more beautiful and charming than now.

The hard training in the army made her face a little rougher than that of the average lady, lacking the sense of flexibility and tenderness, but this made her look more healthy, not the kind of lord who would fall when the wind blew, and the muscles of her body also appeared more firm and elastic, full of athletic beauty.

In another day, he was going to lead the army to Chengdu, and Hua An thought twice and decided to patrol the market one last time. (To be continued......)
