After Tian Fan finished telling Wang Xiu and writing down Qin Yi's work, he stopped talking, but Wang Xiu didn't do it!

He coughed and said to Tian Fan with a straight face: "General Tian, the army must not be rewarded indiscriminately, otherwise the soldiers will feel unfair and have a bad impact on morale!" Qin Yi didn't have any great credit, why did he take credit? ”

Tian Fan couldn't help but be stunned, and the generals were also stunned, this Wang Xiu is really a thorn! Do you dare not listen to the words of the Lord?

Tian Fan was not angry, just smiled slightly, and said, "Shuzhi, there will be no indiscriminate reward!" Do you think this information Qin Yi obtained is useless? Hehe, wrong, this information is very useful, and it is related to the fundamental line of our next stage of operations! ”

After a slight pause, he said: "In the past few days, I have been thinking about a question, why after the loss of the Liyang City Gate, Zhang Xun's soldiers still rushed up without fear of death even though they knew that they were invincible?" And it's one after another, stepping on the corpse of his own robe and impacting! ”

He shook his head with a wry smile and said: "In the battle of Shu County, Ben General did not encounter this situation, after the city of Shu County was broken, Liu Xun's soldiers were easily dispersed, those who fled fled, and those who were killed were killed, which is also the reason why Shu County was able to stabilize so quickly." ”

Tian Fan and the generals of Liyi glanced at each other and said, "I thought that Liyang was the same, but I didn't expect it to be the case at all!" Hehe, after Qin Yiyi said it, I knew that I was wrong! ”

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Not bad!" Actually, we all thought wrong. The main general is the soul of the army, and what really works on the soldiers is actually their commanders, commanders, and team leaders, these middle and low-ranking officers. They are the backbone of the charge leading the soldiers into battle against the enemy. If all the middle and junior officers of an army are the personal guards of the main general, then ...... As long as the main general does not die or surrenders, these middle and low-level officers who have personally defended the main general will definitely not lose the will to fight, and they will continue to fight! ”

Lu Yi bowed his head slightly and said, "That's why Zhang Xunjun in Liyang City has such a strong will to fight. Even if 4,000 people fell in Weng City, and the entire urn city was paved, they still rushed up without fear of death, not caring about their own life and death! ”

Gao Shun shook his head with a wry smile and said, "So, Qin Yi's contribution is very great!" ”

Lu Bu nodded heavily, and said, "I'm afraid, the casualties of the soldiers will be very heavy!" ”

Only then did Wang Xiu understand that Qin Yi's contribution was indeed great, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed to doubt Tian Fan's actions.

Knowing the current situation, none of the generals in the tent spoke. If Liyang is the last stronghold they want to conquer, then they can attack desperately regardless of the casualties of their soldiers until they take the city. But no, there is still a Shouchun waiting for them to fight, and Shouchun is the ultimate test of this battle! In the first battle of Liyang, Tian Fan's acceptable casualty figure was 10,000, if he lost 10,000 people, then the finale of the Battle of Shouchun could still be won, if the loss was greater......

After a while, Tian Fan slowly spoke, "Everyone, I think that if this battle wants to end quickly, it must make Zhang Xun's soldiers lose confidence. So, there are two ways to do it! ”

After a slight pause, he glanced at the generals and continued: "First, kill Zhang Xun!" Second, burn down the granaries in the city! ”

Gao Shun frowned and shook his head, and said, "Boguang, the two methods you mentioned have to go deep into Liyang City. Judging from the situation we have now, the granary in Liyang City is in the middle of the city, and it is more than three miles away from the four city walls, and this method is too difficult. And Zhang Xun's position ...... We don't know for sure, but we know where his camp was located in the granary, and where he was after the war...... The devil knows! And Zhang Xun also knows his own importance, and he will not be involved in danger easily. Find him...... I'm afraid that the difficulty of killing him is three points greater than burning the granary! ”…,

Koji Yi nodded and said, "Not bad!" These two methods are too difficult to achieve! ”

Tian Fan thought about it, and finally shook his head helplessly. Indeed, both of the methods he said are too difficult, and if you have the ability to kill such a high position, then you don't need to discuss countermeasures here!

Lu Bu gritted his teeth hatefully and said, "Everyone, since there is no way, there is only a strong attack!" We fight street battles, although the losses in street battles will be larger, but they are still smaller than siege battles, right? ”

Koji Yi bowed his head slightly and said, "This is also a way to do it!" Fortunately, we are close to the water, and there is the grain and grass of Shu County, so there is no need to worry about the problem of food. It's just that...... The casualties will inevitably be larger! ”

Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "This is also a way to do it, I believe our soldiers can also understand." After all, how can there be no immortals in war? ”

None of the people mentioned the tens of thousands of people in the city, and they deliberately avoided the topic. In fact, there is no way to do this, if possible, of course they want to let these innocent people die a few less. However, this battle must be fought, and once the fight starts, how many people will be injured by mistake with Zhang Xun's soldiers in various houses in the city? How much can be left? I'm afraid that no one can say it well.

Tian Fan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, let's fight first, let's find a way while fighting!" Ladies and gentlemen, your soldiers take turns to fight, and they must cause ...... to Zhang Xun."

Speaking of this, Tian Fan suddenly stopped. The generals couldn't help but look at him curiously, and saw that his eyes were amazingly bright! Gao Shun's heart suddenly burst into his heart, and he said in his heart, someone is going to be unlucky!

In the city, in the study room of Zhang Xun's mansion, Zhang Xun and Yuan Yin sat opposite each other. In other words, Yuan Yin was sitting in danger, while Zhang Xun was ...... The face was full of enjoyment, his eyebrows were about to fly out of his forehead, his face was a little flushed, and he sat crooked on the cushion.

Yuan Yin frowned slightly, watching Zhang Xun hug his right foot and rub it violently, it was very unpleasant in his nose, and it was not a taste in his heart. Zhang Xun, a decent general in front of people, is this virtue in his own study, rubbing his feet and dancing with his eyebrows.

After a while, about Zhang Xun had enough of his addiction, and after taking a breath, he put down his right foot, sat up straight, and put away the expression that made Yuan Yin extremely unhappy, and said seriously: "Mr. Yuan, Xun is a rough man, he can only fight, and he can't care about anything else." Therefore, in the coming days, I still need to pay more attention to Mr. ”

Yuan Yin only felt that Zhang Xun was really a character, and his performance now and just now was like two people. He nodded and said, "This is natural, Yin is also His Majesty's courtier, and as a courtier, he should be loyal to His Majesty!" ”

Zhang Xun used to look down on Yuan Yin, but since the battle to win the door, his impression of Yuan Yin has changed, and when he is facing him, he also shows considerable respect.

Yuan Yin paused slightly and asked, "General Zhang, how do you plan to fight this battle?" ”

Zhang Xun smiled and said casually: "How else can you fight?" There is only the word death battle! His smile disappeared suddenly, and he said in a somewhat heavy tone: "Mr. Yuan, all I can do is to delay time for Your Majesty!" Originally, I was still very worried about the situation in Your Majesty's place, but now, ...... The Xuzhou army sent 110,000 troops, and after several casualties in the battle, according to my estimate, there were about 80,000 or 90,000 people left. Now there are more than 40,000 people outside the city, so how many are there in Shouchun? With the rest of the people, how could they capture Shouchun City, which was defended by an army of 80,000? ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "Hehe, as long as we delay here for two months, the Xuzhou army will be defeated!" Two months later, into November, it will freeze at that point. The river in Huainan will not be too thick, but once it freezes, it is absolutely impossible to sail and drive. At that time, the Xuzhou army could not receive food and grass, how could it not be defeated? ”…,

Yuan Yin nodded and said, "Since the general plans to do so, then Yin will assist the general well and delay time as much as possible." ”

Zhang Xun smiled slightly and said, "Sir, don't worry, it's good to keep these two months!" Hehe, although the Xuzhou army captured a piece of Nancheng, it was basically impossible to attack it. ”

Yuan Yin smiled slightly, nodded and did not speak. He also knew that it would be difficult to capture Liyang, as long as the soldiers and soldiers were not stupid, it could be said that it would be difficult for the Xuzhou army to attack it.

Every street in the city was divided by Zhang Xun with sandbags, plus partitions to divide it, making it even more difficult for the Xuzhou army to cross. On the rooftops of the houses on both sides of the street, there are archers. Zhang Xun requisitioned the courtyard walls of many high-ranking households, and those courtyard walls were more than two battles high, and there were passages on the walls, which were enough to gather a certain number of archers. In this way, it is equivalent to the city is full of city walls, and rolling wood and stones are placed on it, and if you want to take it, it is simply difficult to climb to the sky.

Now the situation in the city can be regarded as Zhang Xun's marshal mansion as the center, with sandbags and the courtyard walls of the houses to form countless concentric circles, each time there are open houses in the circle can pass, convenient to support each other, but between the circles there are only a few passages can pass, if the Xuzhou army wants to fight, in the case of not knowing the specific location of the passage, it is necessary to pay a great price.

Yuan Yin also sighed in his heart, after the defeat of the first battle of the Nancheng Gate Urn City, Zhang Xun began to do this kind of destruction and construction at the same time, and it was only now that he understood the beauty of this approach. It is no wonder that when Zhao Yun came to the outside of Liyang City that day, Zhang Xun did not pile up mounds of earth on the inside of the city wall to facilitate defense, but stored a large amount of sand and soil on the side of many streets in the city, but it turned out that he had already had this idea. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xun, a big boss, also has such a plan.

In addition, Zhang Xun also controlled the heads of many large families in the city, and forcibly recruited their families and private soldiers, which made the city more than 10,000 defenders in the city, and the city was naturally more difficult to capture.

Yuan Yinxin said that this can be regarded as offending the people in the city, but in extraordinary times, it can only be like this.

There is enough food for the army in the city to eat for more than half a year, and there are such strong fortifications, hehe, presumably it will be defended for two months, until the weather becomes cold and the river freezes.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yin's heart settled down a lot.

Zhang Xun smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Yuan, Xun is originally a humble person, and he is still from a poor background, but he has been so reused by His Majesty, I am very excited!" And the middle and junior officers in the city sergeant are all my own soldiers, and as long as I don't die, they will not surrender. So, sir, rest assured, we have won this battle! ”

Saying that, he poured a bowl of wine, held it with both hands and handed it to Yuan Yin, after Yuan Yin took it, he poured another bowl for himself, raised the wine bowl, and in Yuan Yin's stupid space, Zhang Xun held the bowl in front of him, touched the two bowls, and said: "Sir, do this bowl together!" ”

After that, Zhang Xun drank it all.

When he finished drinking, he wiped his mouth, but saw Yuan Yin's eyes staring directly at the wine bowl in his hand, and his eyes were a little green......

Zhang Xunqi said: "Sir, why don't you drink?" ”

Yuan Yin let out an "oh", laughed a few times, took his mouth to the bowl, and drank the wine with the urge to vomit.

Then, Yuan Yin hurriedly said goodbye and left.

That night, Zhang Xun heard that Yuan Yin was sick, and he vomited whatever he ate, and even vomited all the bitter bile water. Zhang Xunxin said, literati, why is the body so weak?
