Li Wei returned to the army, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he went straight through the camp, found Jia Xu who was resting in a fake sleep, and told him the situation just now, and did not understand: "Mr. Wenhe, with the combat strength of our army, Guangzong City can be completely swept down, why use any tricks?" ”

Jia Xu is a middle-aged strategist, although his intelligence is unparalleled, but on the surface he looks mediocre, all the brilliance is restrained, he opened his eyes slightly when he heard this, glanced at Li Dao, sighed softly, and said: "Go to the army to fight and strategize, although we have an advantage in strength, but the siege war is too great a loss after all, if the main force of the storm is chaotic, how can we fight?" ”

Li Dao suddenly said yes again and again, but he was worried about today's itinerary: "The enemy army is monolithic, what can I do?" ”

There was a glimmer of light in Jia Xu's eyes, he didn't have much loyalty to Dong Zhuo, otherwise he wouldn't have been hiding in the army, without saying a word or conspiring, in the end he really had no choice, the danger was approaching him, so he stepped forward, but after coming to Jizhou, his mentality changed.

Compared with other states and counties, Jizhou is undoubtedly more stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the atmosphere is very good, although Jia Xu led the army to attack, but also tried to ensure that this state did not cause major damage, Maocheng, Handan was broken, he prevented the Xiliang army from wreaking havoc in the city, let Li Dao Guo Yan treat the people well, the two of them had already been convinced by Jia Xu, and they also agreed, but the people did not seem to be grateful for this, and the people's resistance was still very high, and the Xiliang army was even attacked several times, although there was no major problem, But it also lost a lot of people, which made Jia Xu very puzzled.

Why?

Since ancient times, the people have no status, only seek stability, no one will care about who the boss is, as long as the new city lord is not too harsh, they don't care if you are appointed or called, this is not the people's business, but this is fundamentally different in Jizhou, those people seem to recognize Zhang Fan, and have the deepest resistance to anyone else, although they are powerless, but they use various ways to express protest and dissatisfaction, shops are closed, restaurants are closed, many people and businessmen lock themselves in their homes, I don't go out at all, and I don't want to see the shadow of Xiliangjun at all.

There are even some radical people who secretly attack the Xiliang soldiers, these people are very crazy, and they are not afraid of death, which is really a headache.

Sometimes Jia Xu is also wondering if he came by mistake, or that he should come alone and retire in this happy place, and now he has brought a large army to ignite the flames of war, which is a huge sin!

But what can be done now? Is it too late for me to choose to give up now? Only take one step at a time to see one step!

Li Wei didn't know what Jia Xu was thinking, and when he didn't answer for a while, he couldn't help but sigh: "The chaos of the wind and clouds will really buy people's hearts, but he is really stupid, Zhang Liao is just a general, or a new general, he actually dares to let his commander-in-chief Jizhou soldiers and horses, is he really afraid of his rebellion?" ”

"Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people! This is what the Lord does! Jia Xu secretly praised in his heart, but said on the surface: "It's just a means to buy people's hearts, didn't he also send Zhen Zhengnan and others to monitor him?" ”

"That's right! However, the judge didn't know what to think, and he refused my mention without thinking about it, if we can't get rid of Zhang Liao, we will suffer more losses when we attack the city! Li Dao did not doubt that he had him, and said.

"The lord is virtuous, his subordinates are united, if Jizhou does not rise, it is a joke!"

Jia Xu sighed again, and then said, "Who said we were going to attack the city?" ”

Li Dao was taken aback: "Don't attack the city?" Do you want to let Zhang Liao defend Guangzong City? If the main army of the turmoil returns from Qingzhou and joins forces with it, our army may not be able to resist it! ”

The lack of foundation in the Xiliang army is the biggest problem, although it has captured several cities in Jizhou, but it is just a delusion to recruit troops from it, no one will come to enlist, more than 200,000 Xiliang soldiers are one less to die, Zhang Fan's main army is elite, even if the two are in equilibrium, Jizhou is Zhang Fan's base camp after all, and the consumption of the Xiliang army will also be consumed!

Jia Xu waved his hand, signaled Li Wei to be calm for a while, and said: "If what I expected is not bad, Zhang Liao should not be able to defend Guangzong, after all, Guangzong City is newly built, and the defense capacity is insufficient, although he has a lot of troops, but they are not really elite, and he is not worthy of a battle with our army, he will definitely choose to retreat, find a strong city to guard, and wait for reinforcements in chaos!" ”

Li Wei thought for a moment, then nodded, and said that he would do the same.

Jia Xu said again: "We gave him a whole day to prepare, and said that he wanted to slaughter the city, and if he wants to withdraw, it must be tonight!" ”

Li Wei was overjoyed when he heard this, and did not question Jia Xu's plan at all: "If it is a field battle, our army will win, why not make a decision early and send someone to ambush?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head: "Zhang Wenyuan is a good general, there are many of his sentinels outside Guangzong City, if our army moves recklessly, he will definitely notice it, and then choose to hold on, our army's strong attack will have heavy casualties, it is not advisable!" ”

Li Wei frowned, and said helplessly: "If he goes out of the city at night, our army has no ambush, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry does not have the extreme speed of ordinary cavalry, I am afraid it will be difficult to catch up, and he will not be able to completely annihilate the enemy army!" ”

He has experienced this, Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a heavy cavalry, good at positional warfare, slightly weak in pursuit battles, and Zhang Liao knows this well, otherwise in Guangping City, not only will tens of thousands of soldiers and horses be lost, the whole army may be annihilated!

Looking at Li Dao with a blank face, Jia Xu could only sigh "brave and planless", and said: "Definitely! Before, I asked you to say that you want to slaughter the city, Zhang Wenyuan must have some concerns, if he wants to retreat, he will definitely take the people in the city with him, and when the army moves slowly, we can catch up! ”

This is indeed reasonable, but Li Dao disagreed: "Evacuate and bring the people, is Zhang Liao so stupid?" ”

Jia Xu smiled coldly: "If he doesn't do this, he will lose his trust in the people of Jizhou, and then the people's sense of belonging to the Jizhou army will drop greatly, and the people in Maocheng and Handan will slowly remain neutral, and we can recruit troops from it. ”

"And!" Jia Xu's smile was very gloomy: "Judging from the current situation, this person loves the people very much, if Zhang Wenyuan does not lead the people to retreat, the chaos will definitely have a problem for him, coupled with the reproach of the people of Jizhou, Zhang Wenyuan's status will plummet, so we can get rid of this good general without wasting a soldier, isn't it beautiful?" ”

"Brilliant plan!"

Li Dao stroked his palms and laughed, if Zhang Liao brought the people, his own side would definitely be able to catch up and annihilate, and if he didn't, he could still kill most of his army, and he could also get the opportunity to stabilize the situation and eradicate Zhang Liao, no matter how it was earned!
