822 - Again

When he said this, Zhuge Yu said bluntly: "If our army rushes to attack the city, with the strong combat power of the Jingzhou army, it will naturally be easy to take Chengdu." But here's the problem. How much does it cost? If the casualties of the Shu army are too heavy, then the final damage will still be our own strength. The imperial court had 100,000 mobile troops. There are only 100,000 of them. After taking Yizhou, it is necessary to divide troops and garrison them. Plus the losses after the storming of Chengdu. Then, it is difficult to guarantee that Shile will not take advantage of the fact that our army's vitality is greatly injured to go south. At that time, it will not be as simple as losing the ground. All things considered, attrition is the most beneficial method for our army. โ€

Yao Yu nodded as he listened, and finally, motioned to Zhuge Yu to continue.

Zhuge Yu agreed, nodded at Yao Yu, and continued: "Since Li Xiong wants to defend Chengdu, let him defend it." Even, when Li Bi's reinforcements arrived, they could also be let into the city. In general, the more soldiers and horses in the city, the better, and the more people there are, the more mouths for eating. But the city is full of food. What will happen to them when they have finished eating? I believe that it is always easier to deal with a group of hungry remnants than a group of high-spirited elites. โ€

Shen Lin and the others suddenly realized when they heard this.

Wang Xuance also showed an expression like this. This is indeed a good solution.

Anyway, the lord said that Yao Bao should stay in Hanzhong to contain Shi Le, and he is not afraid of him going south in the short term.

With enough time, it's much easier to implement the plan.

It's just a little bit, and it's a little bit inkblot when it starts like this, and it's always a little unpleasant.

With such thoughts, Wang Xuance couldn't help but want to suggest two sentences.

Who knows, before he could speak, Yao Yu slapped his thigh heavily on the side: "Okay, Yuan Xian's plan is really exquisite." Just follow what Yuan Xian said. Pass my orders. Let the army besiege the city on all sides. No one is allowed to attack without permission. In addition, send someone to deliver a letter to Ah Bao. Let him stay in Hanzhong. โ€

Everyone clasped their fists and replied yes.

Zhuge Yu seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Da Sima, there is one more point." โ€

Yao Yu turned his head to look at it suspiciously.

Zhuge smiled foolishly: "If there are people outside the city who want to enter the city, there is no need to stop them. and put them all into the city. It would be good to increase the consumption in the city. โ€

Seeing Yao Yu frowning, Zhuge Yu said: "Most of the people in the villages and towns near Chengdu have relatives in the city. I want to make them obedient, unless they break Chengdu. In that case, it is better to send them back to the city to be reunited with their families. First, you can complete the name of the great Sima benevolence. Second, it can also increase the consumption in the city. โ€

Yao Yu couldn't help but put his finger at Zhuge and smiled: "Okay, since that's the case, just do what Mr. said." โ€

In this way, under Yao Yu's appointment, various plans were implemented rapidly.

Yao Yu began to grow a pocket and waited for Li Xiong to come in, but Li Xiong at the head of the city didn't know this.

He also led people stupidly waiting for Yao Yu to come to attack at the head of the city.

After all, what I just said is a good fight.

Even, Li Xiong has enough confidence to let Yao Yu see the bravery of his generals.

I never thought that I had waited so long in vain. Yao Yu didn't move at all, which directly gave Li Xiong a whole down.

If it weren't too ridiculous, Li Xiong would even want to send someone to Yao Yu's camp to ask, if you still can't fight, don't you give a word. Don't keep us waiting.

Five days have passed, and during these five days, what Yao Yu has to do every day is to pull out the trebuchet, and he doesn't fight, just scare.

Twice a day, after the morning and afternoon, I went back to the camp to rest.

At the beginning, the city was still a little scared, because Yao Yu not only pulled out the trebuchet, but also pretended to send people to shout two voices, holding siege ladders and pretending.

But in the past five days, Yao Yu sent troops this time, and even, in the next few days, the soldiers under Yao Yu's command didn't even pretend.

It's like going through the motions.

Especially with the surrender of the 10,000 soldiers, these people were originally the local people of Yizhou, and after they finished the two cutscenes every day, they would set up a cauldron outside the city, and invite the villagers in the city to drink and eat meat.

Gradually, the defenders of the city got used to it.

On this day, Li Xiong returned to the palace after the usual inspection, followed by Li Xiang and Li Yun.

Entering the palace hall, Li Xiong sent someone to move the embroidery stool to show his favor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After some politeness, the two of them took their seats, and the three of them all muttered to each other, and Li Xiong was the first to ask.

"Uncle Huang, Situ, it's been like this for a few days, Yao Yu is pretending every time he comes, the two of you say, what does Yao Yu mean?"

Li Xiang and Li Yun glanced at each other and said, "Maybe it's showing weakness to the enemy, just like when we were in Jiangzhou, deliberately luring us out of the city to fight him." โ€

Li Yun nodded: "That's right, what Taifu said is extremely true." Now in the city of Chengdu, counting the people who have been attracted by His Majesty's gold and silver, we still have at least 30,000 new troops. The troops outside Yao Yu City are not much more than us. Although it is elite, if it is placed on siege warfare. He is not dominant. That's why he did everything possible to lure us out of the city to fight him. In my opinion, Your Majesty, you must not fall for Yao Yu's talent. โ€

Needless to say than Li Yun, of course Li Xiong clearly understood.

After all, he has suffered a loss once, but he can't fall on the same thing twice.

No, Li Xiong took a deep breath and said: "Anyway, no matter what tricks Yao Yu uses, our army just needs to stay still." The reinforcements of Li Bi's department will arrive in seven days at most. As soon as Li Bi arrived, Yao Yu was completely defeated in this battle. Tell me the order. Before reinforcements arrive, if anyone dares to fight, don't blame me for being unsympathetic! โ€

Li Xiang and Li Yun hugged their fists at the same time and replied yes.

Just as the three of them were discussing the military plane here, Li Shi hurried from outside the main hall.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong."

Li Xiong frowned when he heard this: "What is the situation?" โ€

Li Shi snorted and glanced at Li Yun.

Seeing this, Li Xiong smiled and said, "Brother Huang, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Situ is my great success, what can't I say directly. Go ahead. โ€

As soon as Li Xiong said this, Li Shi had no choice but to nod and say, "That's your majesty, thousands of people suddenly poured in from outside the city. said that Yao Yu did not give them a way to live, and they were forced to have no choice but to enter the city to seek refuge from us. โ€

Li Xiong sighed: "Say it again." โ€

Li Shixin said that I said loud enough just now, why didn't you hear it clearly?

Thinking in his heart, Li Shi had no choice but to press down his doubts and say it again.

Looking at Li Xiong again, he was stunned for a long time after listening to these words.
