Chapter 68: Strategies for Entering the City

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, how is it good, Mr. Guo, let's talk about it." Zhang Bao said deflatedly.

Guan Xing pulled his clothes and said, "Second brother, I have already asked you to listen to what Mr. Guo has to say, sit down quickly and listen to Mr. Guo's clever plan." ”

Zhang Bao sat down in a daze, and Guo Youzhi took over the conversation and said: "General Zhang Xiao is a little restless, the method is very simple, this is not easy to fake, then we will use the real one." There are a large number of goods in and out of Chengdu every day, which means that there must be a lot of places to be issued. ”

"Wow, Mr. Guo is really powerful, why didn't he think of such a simple idea, okay, this matter will be handed over to a certain family. Without further ado, I will take the troops out now, tie up a few people who have a place to come back, and rob them of the place for a while. After Zhang Bao heard Guo Youzhi's words, she stood up again excitedly and volunteered to carry out this task.

"Well, General Zhang, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, it's not finished yet." Guo Youzhi hurriedly stopped him.

"Oh? Mr. Guo, don't you mean to rob the place? Zhang Bao asked.

"No, no, this place doesn't need to be robbed, it's not good to rob it. If we rob someone else's place and let our people pretend to be delivery people and rush into the city, it is easy to have problems. First, we don't know many rules, and it's easy for people to see the flaws; Second, too many fresh faces are also easy to arouse the vigilance of the soldiers guarding the city gate. ”

"Then Mr. Guo, what do you mean? If you have something to say, say it quickly, don't say it halfway. Zhang Bao urged anxiously.

"Huh." Guo Youzhi stroked his chin and stroked his beard and said: "We can find a few big families who have a place, move them with affection, understand them with reason, and if they can't do it, they will be bought with a lot of money, and they will be allowed to take our people in."

In this way, our people are mixed with their people, and there are not too many faces, which can reduce the probability of attracting the attention of the city gate officials, and at the same time, if something happens, their people can come forward to deal with it, and there will be no things that do not understand the rules. ”

"Okay, good, this method is good, and please ask Mr. Guo to plan this matter well." Liu Hou praised.

"Yes, Your Majesty. We can first ask for help from those who have a good relationship with us and have long-term business dealings with the 'Ministry of Industry', and I believe that they will be happy to help us after we identify ourselves. If not, we will promise them that after we recapture Chengdu and the 'Ministry of Industry', we will give them exclusive access to a certain product of the 'Ministry of Industry' for a period of time in the future.

In the face of such heavy profits, I believe that no one can refuse, and in this way, the interests of both of us are tied together, and we are not afraid that they will betray us, and we don't have to worry that they will not help us. "Guo Youzhi.

The products of the "Ministry of Industry" are sold all over the world, and they are very sought-after, even if they are one of the products, they can bring huge profits every year, and if they can monopolize the right to operate a product, then the money they can make will go to the sea, and the wealth is moving, and Liu Hou does not believe that anyone will not be tempted in the face of this temptation.

"Wonderful, wonderful, without further ado, please Mr. Guo go and arrange this matter. It is Liu Hou's consistent style to arrange work while discussing, once there is a resolution on a matter, he can't wait to arrange the people below to implement it, not to mention, the current situation is indeed urgent, and they must compete with Chengdu for time.

"Not busy, not busy, as I said just now, there are two key points in this matter, just now the first key point was solved, and there is a second key point that has not been discussed." Guo Youzhi.

Everyone is embarrassed, they have talked so much before, and it took so much time, so they only talked a little? There is a second point below, so is this meeting only half open? Will it take as long as the previous one to discuss the second point?

In fact, they are too optimistic, the latter key point is more important than the first one, more complicated, and more difficult to discuss, which means that it will take longer, that is, the meeting is not halfway through.

Liu Hou also felt very dizzy, this is really the same as those officials in later generations, the meeting is endless, and the leader's speech is often the first, second, and third points...... After talking for a long time, there are many points later.

"The second key point is, what do we do when we go into the city? How? Guo Youzhi continued.

"Isn't this nonsense? After entering the city, of course, you have to find a way to attack from the inside, and attack from the outside inside and outside, and break through the city together. This time it was the vulture bone's turn to shout.

"No, no, General Wu's words are wrong." Guo Youzhi, "Chengdu is the capital of our Han Dynasty, the center of the Han Dynasty, the city is densely populated, not only a lot of people, but also many officials at all levels, there are many official offices, there are magnificent palaces, and there are many places of interest.

If such an all-out war were to take place in the capital, especially if both sides used firearms with great lethality to fight this battle, the damage caused to the capital and the people, officials, and royal family of the capital would certainly be great. We should find ways to minimize this damage as much as possible.

On the other hand, although we can find some big families to cooperate and let them bring our people into the city, after all, we are secretly mixed in with their people to enter the city, so the number of people entering the city is not too large. Too many people will lead to too many new faces in a short period of time, which will increase the risk of exposure.

So the question arises, what can they do with only a small number of men entering the city? Will they succeed in taking the gates? After taking the city gates, will they be able to hold the city gates until the troops from outside the city arrive? What's more, there are urn cities built outside each city gate in Chengdu, which makes it infinitely more difficult to seize the city gate.

Our army will seize the city gate, it will inevitably make a certain sound, in that way, the defenders on the gate of the city on the side of the urn city will inevitably find that something is wrong here, and they will inevitably increase their vigilance, at this time the city gate of the urn city will lose its suddenness, with such a small number of manpower, it is basically difficult to succeed in seizing the gate again. ”

"How, how is this good?" At this time, Liu Hou was also dumbfounded, just now he only cared about what he said to break through the strong fortress from the inside, but he didn't expect that the fortress in Chengdu was so strong that it might not be able to break through even from the inside.

"There's also the problem that our people can pretend to be delivery guys and mix in the convoy of big delivery families, but it's hard to mix weapons in the cargo. According to the results of the scouts, the soldiers guarding the city gate were very strict with the inspection of passing goods, and almost all the packages had to be opened and carefully inspected before they were released. In other words, it is very difficult for us to bring weapons in. At this time, Huang Xu added.

Hearing this bad news, everyone fell into contemplation again, there are few people who go in, and there are no weapons and equipment, how can they attack inside and outside, can they all fight with other well-armored and heavily armed soldiers with their bare hands? They are special forces, and they are not masters of internal skills in martial arts movies, and they can shock others with a pair of fleshy palms.

Moreover, the more specially designed troops they are, the more they rely on equipment, and if they leave those well-made and ingenious special operations equipment, their combat capability will be reduced by at least more than half.

Now that everyone finally knew that it was likely to go into the city with their bare hands to carry out such a difficult task, they all frowned.

Even the vulture bones, who have always been not afraid of heaven and earth, and always think that Lao Tzu is the first in the world, can't help but feel stunned. After all, most people cherish life, and no one wants to face a mortal situation.

The meeting unsurprisingly lasted all night, during which Liu Hou couldn't help but temporarily withdraw from the discussion, and came out to arrange for people to persuade and buy one or two big dealers. After all, now is a time of racing against time, and some things must be carried out as much as possible, otherwise, it will be too late. Liu Hou hoped that if the action plan could be finalized by tomorrow, the special forces would be allowed to infiltrate the city on the same day.

Without further ado, Liu Hou was very worried that the gates of Chengdu would be completely closed, in which case he would completely lose his chance to resolve the coup d'état at a lower cost and with less damage to Chengdu.

At that time, the battle situation will become a tough confrontation between the two forces, and the result will inevitably be that his future capital will be beaten to pieces, and the elite troops of Shu Han will also lose seventy-seven eighty-eight. In the future, what is the meaning of sitting in the Dragon Court in Chengdu and sitting in a pile of ruined tiles?

Fortunately, after a night of discussion, everyone talked and worked together to finally come up with a plan that seemed to be feasible. However, Liu Hou was not very satisfied with this plan, not that he doubted whether this plan was effective, but that he felt that this method was too vicious and worried that it would have a bad impact in the future.

"As soon as this example is opened, I am afraid that future generations will learn the same, such as being targeted by hostile # elements, using this method against us, I am afraid that we will never have peace in the future." Liu Hou said worriedly.

"Your Majesty, don't be soft-hearted, we have been discussing for a day and a night, at present, for Chengdu Jiancheng, only this method is feasible, if you give up this method, you will die thousands or even tens of thousands of people. It is cost-effective to exchange the lives of a few people for the lives of tens of thousands of people.

This method is not the first time we have used it throughout the ages, and it is expected that there will be more people in the future. If His Majesty is still worried about setting a bad example for future generations, he might as well block the news and strictly order all ministries not to leak the process of this operation, then there will be no record of this operation in history in the future.

However, I feel that our action this time is a very wise application of strategy, and future generations will only admire our wisdom when they read this period of our history, will praise our wisdom, and will give us a positive evaluation, instead of thinking that we are vicious. So, please rest assured. ”

"Well, that's all it had to be." At present, this is the case, otherwise, it will not be possible to break the city, and if it drags on for a long time, or the loss of troops is too large, it is likely to cause the collapse of the Shu Han regime, and Liu Hou can only give in to reality and agree to use this strategy.

At about 10:44 a.m. the next day, at the south gate of Chengdu, a mixed procession of people and vehicles lined up and waited for soldiers to conduct security checks before entering the city.

In this era, there is no security check like that of later generations, you can use high-tech means, X-rays and metal detectors or something, the security check of this era is simple and crude, relying entirely on the hands and eyes of soldiers, and if necessary, knives and guns will be added.

Needless to say, the soldiers would use their hands to walk up and down the bodies of those who were being examined, pinching left and right, and touching all over their bodies.

Therefore, in this kind of martial law, the girl and daughter-in-law will never dare to enter and leave the city gate, otherwise they will be taken advantage of and there will be no place to go.

For the goods, the soldiers were also meticulous in inspecting them, all the packages were opened, and even a bundle of firewood had to be untied and carefully examined.

If you refuse to give everything out, that's fine, the soldier will help you, he will use his knife and gun to cut, pick, stab, and cut your cargo...... Even if you show off the eighteen martial arts you learned in the army, it is not unusual, the key depends on the mood of this soldier.
