Liu Shaoqing squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "This is the Evil Ghost Cliff." ”

Hearing Liu Shaoqing's words, the generals in the conference hall stepped forward one after another and looked at the location on the map.

"Yes, this evil ghost cliff is the most precipitous place in Wan'an City, and people who are not familiar with the terrain can be said to have no return!"

"Not only people who are not familiar with the terrain, even if they are people from Wan'an City, few people dare to go to this evil ghost cliff."

……

Liu Shaoqing looked at Xiao Zhihan and Yan Xi, remembered the dirt he had just seen on the soles of their shoes, and asked, "What does the prince ask about this place?" Don't you have some strategy for the enemy? ”

Yan Xi glanced at Liu Shaoqing appreciatively, and said with a smile, "City Lord Liu is worthy of being the city lord who has guarded Wan'an City for many years, and he really understands it." ”

When the other generals heard Yan Xi's words, they were also interested. They all wanted to know what tricks His Royal Highness King Ming could have to protect Wan'an City when he encountered the pressure of more than 100,000 troops of the King of Southern Xinjiang.

Xiao Zhihan didn't speak, but just held the pen in his hand and drew a few red lines at the Evil Ghost Cliff. After the painting was finished, he changed his pen again, dipped it in black ink, and drew from the gate in Wan'an City to the Demon Cliff.

After the painting was finished, Xiao Zhihan took a step back and let Liu Shaoqing and the generals of Wan'an City see for themselves.

I saw that the red line on the map, with the help of the terrain of the Demon Cliff, formed a huge mouth. That black line, after entering the Demon Cliff, was automatically and spontaneously sent into the huge mouth without any notice.

"Using this method to deal with the southern Xinjiang army can indeed attack them by surprise. But Wan'an City is now less than 20,000 people, even if it borrows the advantages of the terrain of Evil Ghost Cliff, it can only swallow the army of 40,000 or 50,000 of the King of Southern Xinjiang at most. What about the remaining nearly 100,000 troops? Once they find a chance to fight back, our centaurs will be divided up by them in an instant. A bearded general stroked his long beard and asked with a frown.

"The prince hasn't spoken yet, why are you in a hurry?" Liu Shaoqing slapped the bearded general on the shoulder, and said with a deliberate face.

Since seeing Xiao Zhihan's heroic appearance on the battlefield that day, Liu Shaoqing's attitude towards Xiao Zhihan has changed greatly. As long as Xiao Zhihan said something, he definitely listened more carefully than anyone else. As long as it is something that Xiao Zhihan ordered, he will definitely do his best to complete it as soon as possible.

Even if he couldn't stop with one mouth, as long as Xiao Zhihan's face changed, and he didn't even need to say anything, he closed his mouth very consciously.

At this time, seeing that his subordinates dared to question Xiao Zhihan, Liu Shaoqing immediately spoke out to refute Xiao Zhihan.

When the bearded general saw Liu Shaoqing's expression, he twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly, and he was not in a hurry to say anything for a while.

Xiao Zhihan picked up the pen, drew a cross at the position of the giant mouth, and drew several circles on the left and right sides of the giant mouth. Putting down the pen, Xiao Zhihan raised his head and asked, "If that's the case, so what?" ”

When the generals heard the sound, they all turned the scenes on the map into real objects in their minds, and carefully deduced them.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Liu Shaoqing was the first to understand, his eyes lit up as he looked at the layout on the map, and kept saying.

Seeing that several of his subordinates looked at him a little blankly, Liu Shaoqing pointed to a few places on the map and explained, "You see, these places are all dangerous places that cannot be opened by one man, we only need to use a team of men and horses to introduce the army of the king of Southern Xinjiang here, and we can take the opportunity to swallow at least 30,000 of them." The army of the king of southern Xinjiang reacted and was bound to counterattack violently. At this time, a group of men and horses who were ambushed in the mountain pass fell from the sky and intercepted their retreat, so that the army of the king of southern Xinjiang could be trapped here. Although it is unrealistic to wipe them all out in this place, with our familiarity with the terrain, it is not difficult to trap the seventy or eighty thousand people of the king of southern Xinjiang here for two or three hours. Our remaining 10,000 people are waiting in these places in advance, and when the majority of the southern Xinjiang army is trapped, we can play hide and seek with the remaining 350,000 people in this evil ghost cliff. As for the trapped 70,000 or 80,000 people, when the people outside are destroyed, we will repeat the old tricks and divide and eat them! ”

This time, no one showed the slightest impatience with Liu Shaoqing's words, and the generals of Wan'an City listened more carefully than one another. After understanding Xiao Zhihan's true intentions, the eyes of several people looking at Xiao Zhihan changed slightly.

If this method is really followed, the king of Southern Xinjiang will fold the old book in this evil ghost cliff this time.

With this method, these generals were not so panicked when they thought of the upcoming southern Xinjiang army.

Just when these Wan'an City generals were extremely happy, Liu Shaoqing suddenly asked with a calm face, "Lord Wang, if this plan of yours is implemented, won't we abandon Wan'an City first?" ”

Liu Shaoqing admires Xiao Zhihan, and he is willing to carry out what Xiao Zhihan commands. But once these things involve the safety of Wan'an City and the people, he naturally has his persistence in his heart.

Hearing Liu Shaoqing's words, the smiles on the faces of the generals in Wan'an City instantly froze, and they looked at Xiao Zhihan with disbelief on their faces.

Xiao Zhihan looked at Liu Shaoqing, and after a long time, said, "Yes." ”

Liu Shaoqing's eyes met Xiao Zhihan's eyes, and after looking at it for a long time, he asked in a dumb voice, "If the city is abandoned, what will happen to the people of Wan'an City?" ”

The army of the king of southern Xinjiang was murderous, and once they entered the city, the people of Wan'an City would be slaughtered. What if the lives of these people were to be put at risk, even if they were victorious?

Moreover, there is another concern that Liu Shaoqing did not ask.

Xiao Zhihan's strategy is linked one by one, whether it is luring the enemy deeper, trapping the enemy, or killing the enemy with the advantage of the terrain, there must be no mistakes. Otherwise, what awaits them is the frantic counterattack of the southern Xinjiang army.

At that time, Wan'an City will be completely lost, and the people of Xiao State will be exposed to the iron hooves of the southern Xinjiang army, and it will be difficult to fight back.

"Who does the Lord of Liucheng want to be?" Yan Xi broke the silence in the council hall with a loud voice, stretched out his hand and pointed to a place in the mountain behind Wan'an City, and continued, "The prince has prepared food and water here, and at that time, all the people of Wan'an City can take refuge here. ”

In that case, it is not impossible to abandon the city. After all, with the strength of less than 20,000 people in Wan'an City, facing the army of more than 100,000 people of the king of Southern Xinjiang, there is no chance of victory. If you fight according to the prince's method, you can still have a glimmer of life. ”

"What's wrong, if something happens in the middle, and the people who should be trapped are not trapped, or fail to lead the army of the King of Southern Xinjiang to the ambush of the Demon Cliff, what should we do? Even if the king of southern Xinjiang sent people to chase him into the back mountain, the city would inevitably send people to stay behind. At the end of the battle of Houshan, the soldiers of Wan'an City only survived more than 10,000 people. At that time, how will we retake Wan'an City? ”

The generals of Wan'an City were divided into two groups, each with their own words. Xiao Zhihan and Yan Xi sat on the main seat, watching the two groups of people arguing, without saying a word. He glanced at Liu Shaoqing casually and observed his expression.

No matter how these two groups of people quarreled, it was Liu Shaoqing, the city lord, who could make a decision in the end. As long as Liu Shaoqing can figure out the key points and agree to this method, others will naturally be easy to say.

Sure enough, the two groups of people who couldn't get the result after fighting for each other invariably looked at Liu Shaoqing and asked, "Lord City, make a decision!" ”

Seeing that several pairs of eyes were staring at him, Liu Shaoqing looked at Xiao Zhihan and Yan Xi on the main seat, sighed, and said, "This matter is very important, I need to think about it." Let's go here today and talk about it tomorrow! ”

After speaking, Liu Shaoqing walked out of the conference hall and walked towards his study.

That night, Liu Shaoqing was studying the military book with candles in the study, but he heard the faint sound of footsteps outside the room, and then heard the muffled sound of two soldiers on duty falling to the ground.

Liu Shaoqing's face froze, he stood up, held the long sword in his hand, and quietly hid behind the door.

After a few breaths, the door to the study was opened, and a man in black walked in.

Liu Shaoqing was about to slash at the back of the man in black with his sword, but was stopped by the man in black who walked in with a palm. Liu Shaoqing took a step back, protected the long sword in front of his chest, the corners of his mouth moved, and he was about to open his mouth to shout, when the black-clothed man in front of him pounced and covered his mouth with his hand.

Liu Shaoqing held the sword and was about to struggle, but saw the man in black covering his mouth reach out and pull off the black scarf on his face, and said to him with a smile, "Lord Liu, it's me!" ”

Seeing the smiling face under the black scarf, Liu Shaoqing was shocked.

"Miss Yan, what are you doing here?" Looking at Yan Xi, who came to visit in the middle of the night and was almost caught by himself as an assassin, Liu Shaoqing asked with a smile.

Yan Xi turned around and closed the door, and after checking that there was no one else around, he said with a smile, "Isn't this afraid of being known by others?" Lord Liucheng, this matter is very important tonight, whether we come to your study or call you to the prince's guest room, it will inevitably be noticed. Just in case, I thought of such a way to hide my whereabouts and quietly come to you. ”

After Liu Shaoqing heard Yan Xi's extremely perfunctory explanation, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He asked, "Miss Yan came here late at night, but for the sake of discussion in the council chamber?" ”

"Yes." Yan Xi nodded and admitted, without any concealment.

Seeing that Yan Xi was so straightforward, Liu Shaoqing shook his head with a smile and said, "Miss Yan, this method of the prince is indeed an excellent method for the soldiers of Wan'an City. But for the city lord of Wan'an City, it is absolutely undesirable. Even if you come here late at night, I really can't risk Wan'an City. ”

Yan Xi looked at Liu Shaoqing and said with a smile, "City Lord Liu, we know what you are worried about, it is nothing more than that after this battle is over, you will not be able to recapture Wan'an City from the King of Southern Xinjiang, and let Xiao Guo, who has lost its barrier, fall into a trap." ”
