"I didn't expect you to come...... So fast. "Xu Zhisheng can't think about it too much.

I didn't expect that a white-clothed young man who was looking at the city with his hands behind his back was the prince of Xuanping......

"General, please get up, you don't have to make these false courtesies when you fight." Li Qiu personally helped him up, "You can rest well if you are injured, and you don't have to rush to come up." ”

Xu Zhisheng instantly had a good impression of this amiable and majestic prince.

"This is not an injury!" Xu Zhisheng slept all night, and his spirit was already full, "It's just that the prince and the marshal General Lin shouldn't go up to the city tower, it's too dangerous!" ”

"Hehe, you're not afraid of Zhisheng, what are we afraid of?" Li Qiu smiled, "Come and sit, there is a stove here to warm up." ”

"Lord Wang, how many reinforcements have we come in total?" Xu Zhisheng couldn't wait to ask as soon as he sat down.

"General Lin Yue's 50,000 Yanyun troops, as well as Zhang Heng and Feixiong's 20,000 White Dragon Guards, a total of 70,000 people." Li Qiu said, "Just now we discussed preparing to launch a counterattack on the enemy, what do you think of Zhisheng?" ”

"Oh......" Xu Zhisheng frowned, "My subordinates think it's inappropriate, it's not that my subordinates have the prestige of others and destroy our own ambitions, it's really Duan Fengnian's Langya Army that should not be underestimated!" Our soldiers and horses may be enough to defend the city, but if we want to attack, we will not have enough troops, and the chances of victory will not be much. ”

"What General Xu said makes sense." Zhang Heng on the side said, "Let's be tired from afar, and there is almost no chance of winning against the multiplied enemy, it is better to retreat and stick to it, and wait and see what happens, the weather is getting colder and colder, he Duan Fengnian's army is stationed in the field, just heating is very problematic, I see that they can't last long." ”

In fact, on the issue of offense and defense, a few people just now had a debate.

Zhang Heng, Lin Feixiong, and many generals all felt that as long as they could stick to Wolong Pass, it would be fine.

Their desperate march of 100 miles finally arrived before the city was broken, which was already a considerable victory and achieved the strategic purpose of the plan.

The remaining problem is to hold on to Wolong and wait for reinforcements.

With 70,000 elite soldiers, it is not a big problem to hold Wolong Pass, but if you attack rashly, you are likely to be annihilated by Duan Fengnian.

This is the normal situation of soldiers.

However, Xiao Chen felt that he should take an offensive posture, because it seemed safe to take a defensive position at present, but in the long run, it was actually extremely unfavorable to Da Zhou.

The rebellion in Langya County is like a deep thorn in a person's finger, it may not hurt very much, but it will make you irritable.

You can leave it alone now, but after a while, it will cause suppuration and ulceration, and may even form sepsis, at which point you may have to cut off your entire hand!

That is to say, the thorn should be dug out now, even if a large piece of blood and flesh is dug out, it is only a short pain, the thorn comes out, no matter how big the wound is, it will eventually heal, leaving a scar at most, which is much stronger than amputation.

Duan Fengnian's sudden rebellion caught Da Zhou off guard, but he himself was obviously not fully prepared, and he was in a hurry to capture Wolong Pass, not because he wanted to attack, but because he wanted to hold on to the pass, exchange space for time, and prepare for a long-term battle.

If you calculate according to the common conditions of soldiers, if you want to take Langya County, you need at least 500,000 troops!

These troops and horses have to be drawn from the garrisons of various counties, and it will take at least half a year just to transfer and assemble the troops, and now that we are catching up with the severe winter, it is extremely difficult to move the troops, and half a year is the most optimistic estimate.

In addition, if the garrisons from all over the country are transferred, how will they deal with the war in the local area again?

And how much food and materials are needed for these 500,000 troops to go to war?

It costs a huge amount of money in one day, not to mention that the future development of the war is not predictable at all, if it is fought for half a year and a year, how much will it cost? And it is the silver that fights the war.

At that time, even if there are no other accidents, if Langya County can be pacified, it will pay a huge price, at least Da Zhou's family foundation must be completely empty.

Zhang Heng and the others only saw the gains and losses in front of them, and they didn't know the future development trend at all, but Xiao Chen had already foreseen it before he set off.

Natural disasters are connected with man-made disasters, one wave has not subsided, and another wave is attacking, as Xiao Chen said, the national fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty is so unfortunate!

It is up to Lao Tzu to turn the tide.

"Well, this king can't decide on this matter, and he has to ask his father." Li Qiu actually agreed to stick to it at the beginning, and he said so when he came out, and he was supported by Lu Jing and others, as well as the emperor's praise.

But Xiao Chen's words are not unreasonable, in fact, the more he thinks about it, the more reasonable it becomes.

Before leaving, my father had repeatedly told Xiao Chen that if the war was undecided, Xiao Chen would be able to judge himself.

What this means is that you still have to listen to Xiao Chen in a war, after all, you have never fought a war, this kid has experienced a hundred battles, and he is very victorious.

As a prince, you just need to grasp the way of employing people.

However, whether this battle should be offensive or defensive is too important, and it is really difficult for him to decide, because once the decision is wrong, the follow-up will affect the entire battle situation.

Fortunately, the contact with Fengyang is very smooth now, there are more than a dozen post stations along the way, and the information is transmitted urgently for 800 miles, and it can be a round trip in two days, and if you use carrier pigeons, it will be faster.

Anyway, he also wants to report the military situation to his father, so he can ask for advice by the way.

The 20,000 White Dragon Guards and the 50,000 Yan Yunjun also need to rest, so let's rest for a few days first.

Fortunately, all the people in the city were moved, and all the houses in the city were empty, and the 70,000 troops could live in it, and the houses were much warmer than setting up tents outside......

Xu Zhisheng's general's mansion is now the marshal's mansion, because there are many houses here, there are spacious courtyards, and the accommodation conditions are very good, so the medical soldiers of Yanyun Army are also stationed here.

There was such a thing as a girl in Yan Yun's army, which really opened the eyes of the big guys, and their arrogance also opened the eyes of the wounded soldiers.

At the beginning, he was still smiling and flirting with others, but unexpectedly, these angels in white were all hot-tempered, and if they didn't say it right, a loud slap would be hit immediately!

And when I go back to change your dressing, I will use some means to make you die of pain, crying dad and calling mother.

It was useless to make a small report, and the officers of Yan Yunjun came over and said a few words that they were not allowed to abuse the wounded soldiers, and they were scolded and run away by the nurses, and they threatened to throw the whistleblower out!

We heal you and change your dressings, and serve you like our ancestors, do you still sue us?

Love can't be cured, if it's not cured, it's out!

Why are you still not convinced?

Even if General Lin Yue comes, we will say the same!

But then again, although the nurses are fierce, the skills are really good.

Under their careful care, those who were supposed to die were brought back to life, those who needed to be amputated were saved, and all the serious injuries were made into minor injuries, as for minor injuries...... All kicked out!
