Walking on the street in the early morning, seeing and hearing were all sad, Rao is Xie Yanwan couldn't help sighing, and said softly: "Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer. The first disaster brought about by war is the people. ”

Hearing her sigh, Feng Qizhi looked back at her and saw the compassion on Xie Yanwan's face. He smiled coldly and said, "However, the superior will not think of this, after all, unless the country is broken, they will always benefit." ”

For example, the one who sat upright in the court.

Even if he was a royal driver, he was well protected in the rear, how could he have personally killed the enemy?

If there really is a day when he has to be the first to die on the battlefield, I am afraid that these kings who claim to have the ambition of Lingyun will rush to stop fighting and seek peace.

Hearing this, Xie Yanwan nodded sympathetically, and seeing that the Taishou Mansion was in sight, he stopped the topic and walked into the Taishou Mansion with him.

No matter how the people outside are in trouble, the food in the Taishou Mansion is polished rice and fine grains plus good wine and food.

And that Wu Taishou was still a little uneasy and said: "When the war was in turmoil, there was a shortage of materials in the city, and I hope that the Chitose Lord will forgive me." Seeing the faint disdain and panic in Wu Taishou's eyes, Xie Yan thought about it for a while and understood. I think it's because the notoriety of this Chitose Lord has spread all over the world, so this Wu Taishou is afraid that when the current external worries are present, the Chitose Lord will be dissatisfied and then do it

An internal problem comes out, that's why it's so attentive. Thinking of this, Xie Yan smiled and said softly: "Lord Taishou doesn't have to be like this, now is the time of disaster, the people in the city are displaced and have no food and clothing, and we shouldn't be extravagant and wasteful at this time." These are all down this morning, and then they are all with the house

Just do the same. ”

Hearing this, Wu Taishou glanced at Xie Yanwan in surprise. He originally thought that the woman who followed Feng Qizhi should also be arrogant and rude, and he didn't want to thank Yan Wan, but it was extraordinarily reasonable.

It's just that she said this, but Wu Taishou didn't dare to really do it, just smiled slightly and said, "Yes." ”

As he was talking, he saw Shangguan Hanxiao walk in from outside.

When he saluted Shangguan Hanxiao, Wu Taishou was a little more sincere. Seeing this, Xie Yanwan secretly sighed in his heart about the difference in Feng Qizhi's reputation, and couldn't help but look back at him mockingly.

Seeing the expression of his little wife, what did Feng Qizhi not understand? He glanced at her and sat down on the throne.

After everyone saw the salute, Wu Taishou was called away by his subordinates, and Shangguan Hanxiao sat down and told Feng Qizhi the plan discussed last night.

"Now that there is a shortage of food in the city, and the vanguard army of the Great Food Country has been defeated by us, we will definitely not dare to do it again for a while. In the interim, the king was ready to take the initiative to attack Yaocheng. I don't know what Uncle Huang thinks? ”

Now that prices are rising in the city, the people are already unstable, and the new 100,000 troops have no rice to cook, so the most urgent thing at the moment is to grab the grain first.

Chuzhou has to be defended, but Yaocheng, he must take it. Although this method is a bit risky, but this time the main force of the Great Food Country is gathered on the outskirts of Chuzhou, and now that the defense of Yaocheng is empty, it is inevitable that the food will be hit with one blow.

Listening to Guan Hanxiao's analysis, Feng Qizhi nodded in agreement, and then asked, "When will Qi Huan's soldiers and horses arrive?" ”

This time, Shangguan Hanxiao brought only 100,000 troops from the imperial city, and the fastest army to come around was Qi Huan's men and horses, which were also 100,000.

Hearing this, Shangguan Hanxiao calculated the time, frowned, and said, "Their men and horses are still on the way here, and they will arrive tomorrow evening." Now in addition to the 100,000 people we brought, there are 10,000 defenders in the city. ”

In other words, even if all of them are combined, there are only 210,000 people.

Xie Yanwan raised his head in surprise, frowned, and said, "Is it just such a person?" ”

She used to watch those film and television dramas, as long as the two sides went to war, it would be a million army, how could there be so few people here.

Hearing this, Feng Qizhi immediately said with disdain: "Did you scatter beans into a soldier at that time, an army of 210,000 is worth the people of two cities." Shangguan Hanxiao also smiled and said: "Our 200,000 horses are all elite soldiers and strong generals of the Western Chu State, and they have been carefully cultivated for many years. Looking at the entire Western Chu, there are only a few million people. If you really raise an army of millions, you don't care about forced conscription

How many old children, just talking about the barracks for training soldiers, are a little stretched. As soon as he said this, Xie Yanwan suddenly became a little embarrassed. She was really distorted by those film and television dramas in her previous life, ignoring the real situation now. The productivity of this dynasty was low, and the general lifespan of the common people was around fifty or sixty, plus

Due to various reasons and the backwardness of medical standards, the mortality rate is even more terrible.

Therefore, a large country like Xichu has a population of only a few million, and it cannot even be compared with a modern province. Although the war has started now, all states and governments must have troops to maintain law and order, and they must not be mobilized. In addition, the war with the Great Food Country only started last year, although it was won at that time, there were countless casualties. Now it can draw 200,000 people

The army is already the limit. The Great Food Country is a nomadic people, and its life span is lower than that of the Western Chu Kingdom, and the number of ordinary people is much smaller than that of the Western Chu Kingdom. The reason why they were able to have 300,000 troops was because the men of the Great Food Country served the people in their spare time and served as soldiers in wartime

。

After Xie Yanwan understood clearly, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's me who is lonely and unheard." ”

It's really a bit embarrassing to say this.

But obviously, the two people in front of them don't mind her disgrace, or rather, they don't have time to mind right now.

Because when Xie Yanwan was thinking about it, the two of them had already discussed the matter.

"It's advisable to attack Yaocheng, but it's difficult to get out of the city without being discovered, what are you going to do?"

"Over the hill." Shangguan Hanxiao picked up the chopsticks and dipped the wine in the cup, drew a path on the table, and said, "Although this mountain is dangerous, it is feasible. If you bypass them and take the city from now on, it will definitely be advisable. When we come back, Qi Huan's soldiers and horses have arrived, let's return them

can be caught off guard by internal and external attacks! ”

The two of them discussed very seriously, Xie Yanwan frowned and listened, and suddenly said: "However, if the Great Food Country sets up troops here to stop you, what will you do?" ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Hanxiao smiled slightly, pointed out the situation to her, and said, "This mountain is under our surveillance, and there is no invasion of their men and horses. ”

Hearing this, Xie Yanwan's eyes lit up at first, and he looked at the mountain fixedly, and pondered.

Seeing her like this, Feng Qi glanced at her without a trace, and then said: "This plan is feasible, at that time, you will bring 50,000 troops to raid Yaocheng, and this seat and the rest of the men and horses will defend the city, and wait for you to turn around." ”

If it is for the sake of war, abandoning Chuzhou is the best choice. But the tens of thousands of people in the city are living human lives, and they cannot be abandoned for the sake of victory.

Therefore, until the last resort, Chuzhou cannot be abandoned. That raising, you can only defend it by fighting hard. They discussed and agreed, but when they saw Xie Yanwan, he suddenly put his finger on the sketchy map that Shangguan Hanxiao had laid out with wine and peanuts, and said with a treacherous expression: "Ah Zhi, I remember that Xue Lang, the left forward of the Great Food Country, was reckless and rejoicing.

But so? ”

At first glance, when he heard her mention this person, Shangguan Hanxiao suddenly nodded and said, "Indeed, but he is brave and good at fighting, and he is a fierce general." ”

"Yes. So if he learns that we are going to abandon the city and go to Yezhou, will he impulsively cut off our road in advance? ”

As soon as she said this, Shangguan Hanxiao was slightly stunned and said, "Why do we abandon the city and go to Yezhou?" ”

And Feng Qizhi, but at her fingers, suddenly understood what she meant, hooked her lips and smiled: "Naturally." ”

"So, is it feasible to catch turtles in an urn?"

Seeing Xie Yanwan's crooked eyebrows, Feng Qizhi's eyes flashed, and he drank all the wine in the cup, and then buckled the peanut on the table, and said in a low voice: "Naturally." ”

Whether it is abandoning the city to Yezhou or setting off for Yaocheng, you must pass through this dangerous peak. If Xue Lang, the left forward who is brave and good at fighting but lacks strategy, knows about it, he will definitely seize the opportunity and turn around to occupy this Luoshan first.

But what if they get false news?

After Shangguan Hanxiao led the troops to pass, Xichu could send men and horses to ambush here in advance. A little more ruthless, explosives, artillery and flint are all on the ground, as soon as the army of the Great Food Country comes, the number of casualties counts!

Naturally, this plan will not wipe out the entire army of the Great Food Nation, but it is good to be able to eliminate some, isn't it?

……

After understanding Xie Yanwan's plan, Rao is Shangguan Hanxiao couldn't help but sigh: "If Zhenhe is a man, he must be an excellent strategist." ”

Although this strategy is simple, it is just the right combination of the current environment and situation, and also makes use of the psychology of General Zuo.

That's wonderful!

Hearing this, Xie Yanwan smiled slightly, curled his lips and said, "Treat the enemy, naturally, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves." ”

On this battlefield, you can't help yourself. Only by giving the enemy the greatest deterrent can we end this war faster!

Seeing the cold glint in her eyes, Feng Qizhi's eyes also slipped through a touch of admiration and disbelief.

This girl has always been smart, but the wisdom she sometimes shows surprises him.

Thankfully, she had always been his. Otherwise, such an enemy would really give him a headache.

……

Because of the lack of further ado, after breakfast, Shangguan Hanxiao left Chuzhou with 50,000 horses. And Feng Qizhi discussed the ambush with Taishou.

Although Xie Yanwan came up with an idea, she still had a headache when she really went to discuss those details. In addition, she was extremely tired from traveling these days, so she obediently went back to her room to sleep.

No, when I woke up, the sky was already dark and dark. On a winter day, although there is a charcoal fire in the room, it is not as good as the best silver carbon in the capital, and the whole room smells of smoke.
