……

At night, the Castle Lord's Mansion ......

The huqin is in the ear, the tambourine keeps moaning, and in the charcoal basin in the center of the hall, a faint fire is lit, and the four orchids keep writhing and dancing gracefully, surrounding a fat man two hundred pounds away in the center.

This fat man is none other than Huai Wang Weiji.

At this time, Wei Ji was full of spring breeze, playing with the four orchids, and the Han army generals sitting around him were blank for a while.

They couldn't have imagined why Wei Ji, such a fat man, danced so naturally, like a dancing king, giving people a strong visual impact.

After the song was over, Wei Ji came to his seat with two orchids in his arms, and picked up the gin glass with a smile: "This king is so happy, come, everyone have a drink, and celebrate the victory of our Han army!" ”

Everyone raised their wine glasses in unison: "Lord Wang, please." ”

A glass of wine went down, and the orchid next to Wei Ji immediately poured him full of wine.

Wei Ji threw a mouthful of raisins into his mouth, and casually asked Bai Qi: "General Bai, our army has won the first victory, what should we do next?" Is it taking advantage of the situation to kill Liuli City? ”

Bai Qi said with a smile: "Lord Wang, our army has been fighting bloody battles for days, and we urgently need to rest, so I am afraid that we will not be able to continue to march for the time being." ”

Wei Ji nodded: "Yes, after such a long journey, and after such a war, the soldiers are also flesh and blood after all, and they really should rest for a few days, but ......"

He changed his words and said thoughtfully: "But what if your widow gathers a large army and pounces on my army?" ”

Wei Ji has fought many vicious battles with Liu Ce, and he also has a lot of insight into the battle situation, and his worries are not unreasonable.

When Bai Qi heard this, he said: "In this way, that is exactly what I want, our army is deep into the enemy's territory, if it is fought one city and one wall, I am afraid that this battle will drag on for several years.

If the main army of the noble widow gathers and takes the initiative to find our Han army, then it will just break his backbone in a battle, and see if he dares to go against my Han in the future! ”

Tian Yan heard the words and reminded: "Having said that, the national strength of the noble widow is not comparable to that of the states of the Western Regions, and it is rumored that there are more than one million people with armor.

Even if there is an exaggeration, according to the estimation of the last general, there are still 450,000 troops, and at present, our army's combat strength is more than 40,000.

Even if the equipment is better than the noble widow, if you want to defeat the main force of the noble widow in one fell swoop, you will lose a lot of soldiers and horses, and the last general thinks that you should take Liuli City first.

Then he defended the city, broke the enemy's spirit, and finally beat it with a drum. ”

Bai Qi said: "Since the formation of our Han army, it has always been to win more with less, and defeat the strong with the weak.

Gaoyang City is a battle to punish 70,000 thieves, and now our Han army has strong morale, complete armor and ordnance, and more powerful weapons of the country, firearms and iron cannons,

Don't you have confidence in dealing with a group of barbarians? This is the first time that the Protectorate of the Western Regions has used troops on a large scale with foreign countries, and I must not be bent by a noble widow.

What if it does have a million? I can kill him like a white unicorn, and I don't leave a piece of armor! ”

"Well said!"

Xia Yu slapped the table and yelled: "Let the noble widow know that my Han army is mighty, don't offend!" ”

After a burst of excitement, Bai Qi ordered someone to take out a map carefully drawn by the General Staff Division.

"Two hundred miles west of Tucheng, is where Liuli City is located, and the Intelligence Department has investigated and learned that there are more than 10,000 defenders in the city, which is equivalent to the strength of Tucheng.

After our army rested here for seven days, it marched to Liuli City, but for Liuli City, the commander thought that there was no need to seize it.

First, the scale of Liuli City is comparable to that of Tucheng, and the grain and grass in the city cannot support the long-term consumption of my 60,000 troops.

Second, even if there is enough food and grass in the city, once our army enters the city, then it will be trapped in the city and unable to give full play to the flexibility and mobility of our Han army.

It is impossible to annihilate the noble widow army on a large scale, you must not forget, now that we are on the offensive, how can we directly turn the offensive into a defensive position?

Therefore, this marshal thought that the army only took the manors of the scattered tribes around Liuli to supplement the daily food and grass consumption of our army during this period, and at the same time, the noble widow army could no longer obtain supplies from other channels except for logistical supplies.

At the same time, it can also familiarize the soldiers with the nearby terrain, and perhaps find the best place to fight the main army of the noble widow. ”

When Tian Yan heard this, he confirmed again: "Bai Shuai, you really don't plan to directly attack Liuli City and give it to the main force of your widows?" ”

Bai Qi shook his head: "Tan Malay News, the biggest difference between Liuli City and Tucheng is that there are nearly a thousand wells in its city, and all of them are taken from the water of the soil, and there is no worry about water cut-off.

The strong attack will only make my Han army suffer heavy losses, not to mention that Ben Shuai said that even if he captures Liuli City, there will be no benefit to our army.

It's better to keep it as bait and force the noble widow army to come here, and in the meantime, the logistics supply of Liuli City will become more and more serious.

As long as our army can beat the main force of the noble widows in the first blow, they will definitely retreat into the city and dare not act rashly.

At that time, we can cut off its grain road outside the city, so that Liuli City will completely become a lonely city.

Can you afford to pay hundreds of thousands of troops? ”

When everyone heard this, a trace of cold sweat couldn't help but ooze from their foreheads.

is worthy of Huo Qing's former subordinates, and his strategies are all aimed at the enemy's vital points, which is really forcing people to a dead end.

"Your Majesty once said that an army of 100,000 is not as good as 5,000 elite soldiers, and although the strength of our Han army is at a disadvantage, everyone is eager for war.

Although there are many noble widows, they are just a group of rabble in the eyes of this commander, and the 40,000 Han army wants to break hundreds of thousands of noble widows, but between the overturns,

Ladies and gentlemen, let all the soldiers rest after going back, and set off to Liuli City in seven days! ”

"Whoa!"

……

On the third day of the second month of the fourth year of Xuanwu, the difficult army was finally assembled, and it marched towards Tucheng.

Looking at the army of 550,000, it was difficult to be in high spirits for a while.

"Even if it's Da Shi and Sasani, it may not be a strong army like my noble widow, the little Han army dares to provoke my noble widow, this time, I can't help but not only kill you all,

I have to lead the army to the Central Plains, arrest the bold and reckless emperor of the Han Dynasty, and let everyone take a good look, this is the end of going against my noble widow! ”

Nan Ji began to imagine the scene of entering the hinterland of the Central Plains and plundering their wealth to their heart's content, and finally Liu Ce and the other royal families knelt in front of him and wagged their tails and begged for mercy.

It's no wonder that he has such an idea, how can such a huge army be lost?

Wyvern Riding Face, you tell me how to lose!?

Just when he was ambitious and decided to make immortal achievements, a scout came to report.

"General Qiyu, General Ku Jin is here to report, the Han army has broken through Tucheng, and the army is currently marching in the direction of Liuli City, please rush to help!"

"What did you say!?"

He grabbed the scout by the neck: "Tucheng is lost?" It's only been a few days? What is that bastard doing? Didn't I order him not to take the initiative! ”

The scout trembled and replied, "I don't know the specific reason, but I heard from General Kujin that Lord Stain has died in battle......"

"Waste, it's really cheap for him, otherwise I must send that guy to the brazier to roast him alive to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Pushing away the scouts, he sorted out the armor on his body, and said loudly: "Order the whole army to arrive at Liuli City as quickly as possible,

We must not allow the Han army to breach the city before we arrive! ”

"Yes, yes!"

Listening to the dull sound of the horn being blown, it was difficult to regain some of the bearing of being the commander-in-chief.

"Bai Qi, I'll let you be proud for a few more days, and when my army arrives, I will definitely crush you and others to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
