Yao Yu did not respond to Wang Xuance's words, but lowered his head and said to himself: "The sentry came to report that Li Bi went north this time, in addition to the 20,000 soldiers and horses in the headquarters, he also borrowed 12,000 soldiers and horses from the hands of the commander of Nanzhong Yi. ”

Wang Xuance sighed: "Another barbarian? ”

As soon as the words fell, the expression of Sha Mosong next to him was a little not good-looking.

Yao Yu noticed it, and glared at Wang Xuance fiercely, which seemed to mean that you should pay attention to what you say, Sha Mosong is still next to you, you forgot your background, right?

Being stared at by Yao Yu like this, Wang Xuance couldn't help but sigh, he also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly threw an apologetic expression at Sha Mosong.

Fortunately, Sha Mosong was generous, and he didn't care about these things with Wang Xuance, but just covered it up with a smile.

Putting down the two of them without mentioning it, after Yao Yu finished talking about the situation, he looked around at the generals in the tent: "Everyone, what do you think?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, Shen Lin hesitated even more: "My lord, let's keep dragging it out like this, Li Xiong's soldiers and horses are more and more." Originally, there were only a few thousand people in Chengdu. At this time, counting Li Bi, who was about to arrive, Li Xiong regained 70,000 people. Just looking at the strength of troops, it is already on par with our army..."

Yao Yu knew what Shen Lin wanted to say, it was nothing more than when it would be a head if it went on like this.

No, he directly interrupted Shen Lin's words and said with a smile: "That's right, but Shen Lin, there is a problem with the direction you are considering." How many people are there in Yizhou? Millions. Li Xiong first reined in military rations, and then squeezed the people's strength to conscript. Such a reckless military force just shows that Li Xiong has been forced into a desperate situation by us. These 70,000 people are the last strength that Li Xiong can take. If we eat his last strength, guess what, all over Yizhou, is there still the strength that can resist us? ”

Shen Lin snorted, and after a few seconds, he hesitated: "But my lord, have you thought about it, these 70,000 people, we can't swallow it." ”

"Therefore, we have to send all of them to Chengdu City to be fenced, so that they themselves will lose their combat effectiveness because of the lack of food. When the time comes, you don't need to open your bow and arrows, you can take Yizhou unscathed. Isn't that the least effort-saving? ”

Yao Yu's words fell, and everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.

Everyone knows that that's right, but Li Bi is clearly cautious, if he doesn't enter the city, this plan will not be easy to implement.

To put it bluntly, Zhuge Yu's plan is to close the door and beat the dog, and catch the turtle in the middle of the mountain.

If Li Bi's subordinates did not enter the city and only stayed outside the city, then this plan would have failed.

Because Li Bi can tear a hole from the outside at any time and answer Li Xiong's breakthrough.

With concern, Wen Xu Lian and others expressed their opinions.

In this regard, Yao Yu smiled freely and did not take it to heart at all.

He turned his head to look at Zhuge Yu: "Yuan Xian, this situation, you should have considered it a long time ago." You have lived in Nanzhong for a long time, and you have an understanding of Li Bi's character and ability, as well as his friendship with Yi Shuai. Otherwise, you wouldn't have told me about this plan. ”

Zhuge Yu couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and immediately shook his head and smiled: "I really can't hide anything from you, Da Sima." ”

Yao Yu snorted, shaking his head proudly, his expression seemed to say that it was necessary, and he didn't look at who I was.

"Yuan Xian, tell me about your next plan. Now is not the time to sell off. ”

Zhuge Yu arched his hand at Yao Yu, and immediately stood up and said, "Li Bi is alert. If our army besieges and does not attack, he will definitely be on guard. As soon as the situation in the city is stable, the more likely Li Bi is to wait and see. At this time, we need to find a way to drive Li Bi into the city. ”

Yao Yu nodded, found a comfortable position to lie down, and motioned for Zhuge Yu to continue.

Zhuge Yu agreed, paused for a few seconds and said, "So, my idea is to put pressure on the city. Hundreds of trebuchets in the army were only pretended to be used and not really used. Now, it's almost time to go. By the way, let the army attack the city without reservation. Give Li Bi the illusion that Chengdu is in danger. ”

Wang Xuance hissed: "No, didn't you say to preserve your strength at the beginning." This is an unreserved siege. Even if Chengdu is taken, the casualties of our army will not be small. In that case, why didn't you attack from the beginning? I had to wait until Li Xiong's soldiers and horses from all walks of life expired before making a move. Isn't this asking for trouble for yourself? ”

Although none of the generals spoke, their expressions were exactly the same as Wang Xuance's doubts.

Even Yao Yu also looked at Zhuge Yu calmly, waiting for his next step.

Facing everyone's interrogating gaze, Zhuge Yu smiled and said, "Generals, don't be impatient. The unreserved siege I spoke of was just an illusion. It's just to mess up Li Bi's judgment and let him enter the city. ”

"Will he enter the city?"

"Yes, because Li Bi is absolutely loyal to Li Xiong. And he doesn't just go into the city. There will also be a force left to garrison outside the city. ”

Yao Yu tilted his head to look at Zhuge Yu.

Zhuge Yu went on to say: "Although Li Bi has the ability, he is a man who is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside. It was true that he borrowed troops from the commander of Nanzhongyi, but Li Bi would not fully trust these barbarians. I guess that if Li Bi saw that Chengdu was in danger, he would definitely personally lead a team of soldiers and horses into the city to rescue. And these brutes will be left outside the city by him. However, because of Li Bi's character, he would not be completely at ease even if he left the brute soldiers outside the city. In the next opinion, Li Bi will also leave his henchmen to command a group of soldiers and horses to monitor this barbarian army. If there really is anything wrong in the city, this is the back hand he has left. ”

Yao Yu nodded appreciatively: "The analysis is good, continue to talk." ”

Zhuge Yu said yes.

"If you want to completely crush a person, then destroy his hope first. After Li Bi was tricked into the city, our target was not Chengdu. It was the soldier he left outside the city. According to my estimates, this army should be around 20,000 troops. As long as our army destroys and annexes this army in a very short time, then it can not only play a role in knocking out the mountains and shaking the tiger in the city. It can also cut off the hope of the defenders in the city. At that time, our army only needs to besiege Chengdu and strictly prevent Li Xiong's breakthrough. Then, what awaits Li Xiong is only the way to run out of grain and grass, and the army is defeated and killed. These are the plans below. ”

Shen Lin hissed and asked: "The idea is fine, the question is, how can you quickly eliminate the 20,000 soldiers and horses that Li Bi placed outside Chengwai?" ”

"As I said earlier, Li Bi will definitely leave the barbarians. And I have lived in Nanzhong for a long time, and I have a good relationship with all the heroes in Nanzhong. With my incorruptible tongue, I will surely persuade them to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. ”
