Chapter 1131: Decision

Strategize and win thousands of miles away.

Although Sun Ning had been in Sichuan and Shu before, he had already had a deep understanding of the war situation in the Central Plains, thought of all kinds of problems, and came up with countermeasures.

Even Guo Han, who was unable to send troops and horses to contain him, cut off his external assistance in view of his usual cautious style, so that his soldiers and horses could not play any role in this Central Plains war.

This is the fundamental reason why the Jinju Army did not join the battle in the previous decisive battle of Xingyang, although it appeared.

After all the soldiers understood all this, they became more and more respectful to the emperor, and at that moment, words of praise and flattery poured out of everyone's mouths and headed towards Sun Ning.

After a while, he smiled and waved his hand repeatedly: "Okay, there is no need to mention these flattering words, even if I am a Heavenly Sage, as long as I fail to take Luoyang this time, everything will be in vain." So instead of talking about this, let's think about how to take Luoyang as soon as possible."

The expressions of the soldiers were solemn again, and then they regained their mood and focused on the present.

From the current point of view, although there is no need to worry about the enemy's foreign aid in the short term, but in this Luoyang Jiancheng, everyone has concerns about throwing rat traps, and it is still not easy to fight.

Judging from the situation of the siege in front of us, the tens of thousands of soldiers who were not brave and hardworking, and after being repulsed by the enemy twice, they still did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and once again, inspired by the drums and trumpets, they shouted and launched an offensive.

But the result of this onslaught was still the same, under the dense rain of arrows at the head of the city and all kinds of powerful weapons, they made every step with great difficulty, and in the end they only barely managed to put a few ladders up to the top of the city, and then only a few soldiers ventured up, and died under the incursion of arrows without climbing a few steps......

Luoyang, as the former capital of Dayue, its defense power is the highest in the Central Plains, how could it be defeated so easily by the Vietnamese army?

After Sun Ning watched from afar that soldiers were dying in the city, he also sighed lightly: "Mingjin should withdraw his troops." After all, a strong attack is not the way to take Luoyang, we have to find another way."

All the soldiers were full of shame, and they looked like they couldn't raise their heads: "It's the incompetence of the ministers, and to this day, under such a great victory, they still can't break this city."

Seeing that they knelt down one after another to plead guilty, Sun Ning raised his hand again: "This is not you, who made this Luoyang, the former capital of my Dayue?"

"If we change to other cities, even if the whole city is united and defends to the end, we also have other means to break the city." As he spoke, his eyes fell on the surging Luoshui in the distance.

Everyone immediately understood the meaning of the emperor's words, but no one dared to speak up.

Yes, it's not easy to break Luoyang? Dig the river embankment directly, and divert Luo water to pour into the city. Even if it is a dry season and the amount of water in Luoshui is insufficient, then you can wait a few more months and enter the spring and summer flood season, and then do this policy.

At that time, not only the seemingly thick and impregnable rammed walls on all sides will be blistered by the water, and thus destroyed by the army. Even the soldiers and civilians in the city will inevitably be flooded under the city, and countless casualties will be imposed.

Maybe at that time, before the city wall was breached, the soldiers and civilians in the city would automatically surrender.

But who made this Luoyang City, where the temple of Dayue's national capital is located?

The importance and status of this city were destined to make it impossible for the Vietnamese army to use such a fierce means of destroying the city. Even Sun Ning, the emperor, could not have given such a rebellious order.

Then there is only one strategy left.

But this time, the damage of the generals is inevitable, and I don't know how much to pay.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that a strong attack is not a good strategy after all, and that he has to find another way. For example...... rebelling against the people of the city." After everyone fell silent, Chen Qingyun finally spoke his mind again.

Sun Ning also nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, the strategy of attacking and breaking Luoyang is not appropriate after all, but how do you say to rebel?" Did we have scouts or something to sneak into Luoyang before?" ap.

This sentence is to the point, because normally speaking, when Zhao Guangxiao fled back to Luoyang from Xingyang in a hurry, he must not

It is possible to screen all the men and horses who enter the city with them, which naturally gives the Vietnamese army the opportunity to insert all kinds of internal responses.

"Yes." Chen Qingyun nodded in response, "But almost all of these manpower were found and killed by them in the days before our siege......

"Huh?" Sun Ning was stunned for a moment, and then understood, "The order you gave them was to cooperate with the inside and the outside, and take advantage of the siege of the city to help open the city gate?"

"Yes, it's the minister who thinks things simple. Thinking that under the circumstances, these traitors were already unable to protect themselves, so they thought that they would finish the battle and let them cooperate with the army. As a result, as soon as they did something in the city, they were discovered and suppressed by the defending generals in time, and even their heads were cut off and hung at the head of the city......" Chen Qingyun said with self-reproach, "It is the fault of the ministers that they have killed so many brave soldiers, and I beg Your Majesty to punish them."

"You have indeed committed the mistake of underestimating the enemy, but this is also human nature, after all, who would have thought that they would all reach the end of this mountain, and Zhao Guangxiao and others would dare to do such a dying struggle."

Sun Ning said, sighing with pity, and then his expression straightened again: "Even so, it's not like we don't have a way to deal with them at all.

"Sometimes when you break such a strong city, it's better to kill the enemy than to punish the heart. Especially when they need to rely on those local big clan forces and people to defend the city desperately, these people's respective demands and ideas are not consistent, and it is easier to be defeated in one fell swoop."

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Yan Hu seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Sun Ning Dao nervously.

"The human heart is the most difficult to grasp, whether it is us or them. How did Luoyang City take away from them in the first place, and today we will use the same means to get it back!"

Sun Ning exhaled a turbid breath: "Spread my will, in the next three days, there is no need to make a strong attack, and don't even send a single soldier to attack the city. What we had to do was to prepare a batch of leaflets, write down my words, copy tens of thousands of copies, and then use a stone thrower and other things to send me into the city.

"I want the entire city to see the military and civilians to know the imperial court's determination to take Luoyang this time, and its attitude towards them. In the name of me, the emperor, I sent them leaflets, and in the name of the imperial court, I gave them sufficient protection. I don't think that after confirming this, those people in Luoyang City will still be determined to rebel against them, and some so-called clans who always oppress themselves and seize their own property will work hard!"

With this decree, it means that a new strategy to capture Luoyang has been implemented.
