Liu Cong, Wang Mi and Shi Le were explaining tactics around the map, Liu Tai was not qualified to do anything here, but obediently acted as a halberd guard behind Wang Mi, and occasionally glanced at the map, which was considered a pastime.

This map is quite rough, so he drew a few cities and drew some lines, and Liu Tai couldn't help but have a headache when he saw it for the first time.

But in fact, this map is already the top map of this era, and it is even a map made by the Pei family.

In Pei Xiu, he proposed that the first geographical cartography theory in Chinese history was the six bodies of cartography, which at least gave the top upper level a reliable cartography theory tool.

It's just that everything that involves tools belongs to that kind, if you don't get started, you can't understand it, and when you get started, you can naturally see it at a glance.

Although Liu Tai has also studied, he always instinctively compares it with the maps he saw in his previous life when he looks at them.

Compared to the two, this map naturally looks quite rubbish, making Liu Tai look a little sluggish.

And Liu Tai was like a little kid who couldn't keep up with the progress in class, but Wang Mi and Shi Le didn't drop any chains.

Wang Mi opened his mouth and said, "Pang Chun, the county guard of Shangdang County, was originally a local wealthy family, and was trusted by Liu Kun and appointed as the Taishou of Shangdang.

A year of preparation is enough for him to arm Shangdang County to the teeth, and it is definitely not something that can be easily taken in a short period of time.

Their family is the most important thing to the family, and as long as they cut off reinforcements, I believe he will surrender.

So I agree with the strategy of the king of Chu, besieging Shangdang, and striking at reinforcements! ”

"Hmm!" Hearing Wang Mi's words, Liu Cong nodded, because he had followed Liu Yuan to Luoyang since he was a child, so he clearly knew that the Han people appointed officials were very interested in the background of officials.

This point is even more conspicuous on his father's body, if it weren't for the identity problem, Liu Yuan would even have the credit of destroying Wu!

And this is not only the intention of the upper-level officials to show their status, but also the lower-level officials know that you have a deep background, so they generally do not dare to offend, and even take the initiative to buy some face.

Face is not important in the officialdom of the Jin court, at least an official with a deep background will point the deer as a horse, even if the local officials are not pleasing to the eye, but in the case of no interests, they will choose to remain silent.

If you correct yourself, it doesn't mean that you have refuted the other party, even if you were not an enemy before, but it will be difficult to say in the future.

No one will easily do anything to the detriment of their own interests, especially when such interests may also involve the family.

Therefore, it is more or less normal to choose a relatively famous local wealthy family as the county guard, rather than appointing and dismissing people who have talents under him but do not have any family background as the county guard.

"Since General Wang is more familiar with the family, let General Wang surround and attack the Shangdang, and the reinforcements sent by Liu Kun will be repelled by Liu Kun as the vanguard!" Schler did not hesitate and immediately promoted himself.

"It's not right, it's not right!" Wang Mi heard Shi Le's words and said decisively, "Although there is flat and open land around Shangdang County, there are steep cliffs and steep slopes in the end, our army is from a reckless background, and it is most suitable for fighting in this terrain, and our army is still responsible for attacking and intercepting reinforcements!" ”

Shi Le and Wang Mi immediately began to argue about the location of the reinforcements to be intercepted.

Obviously, whoever is responsible for intercepting reinforcements will naturally be appointed and dismissed as a vanguard, and it will be easier to make meritorious deeds.

And the commander who stayed here was responsible for the encirclement, even if he wanted a few points of merit, I am afraid it would not be easy to get it.

The most important thing is the siege of the city, which must be quite consuming of manpower, relatively speaking, the loss of field battles, or even the initiative to ambush the other party, the loss paid will naturally not be too much.

Liu Cong looked at the two people who were competing, and there was a slight smile on his face, for Liu Cong, whether it was Shi Le, who formed the rise, or Wang Mi, who brought capital into the group, both of them can be regarded as military generals with foreign surnames.

Allowing them to form a certain degree of competition was also very important for the political balance within the Xiongnu Han State.

Whether it is Shile to balance Wang Mi, or Wang Mi to balance Shile, all in all, as long as there is another person, then the dynasty does not have to worry about the other person becoming bigger!

In this way, Liu Cong came out and said, "I will personally go with General Shile to intercept Liu Kun's soldiers, as for the encirclement of Shangdang and Huguan, then it will be handed over to you, General Wang, and this place will be handed over to you to command!" ”

Hearing Liu Cong's decision, Shi Le and Wang Mi's expressions changed slightly.

In this way, although Shi Le is also a striker, his exploits will be more or less divided by Liu Cong.

And although Wang Mi is in power, it is not easy to make meritorious contributions, and in order to prevent the other party from breaking through and attacking Shi Le and Wang Mi, perhaps, he will have to put in a lot of soldiers to defend.

But in any case, this plan was decided in this way for the time being, and Liu Cong and Shi Le did not act immediately.

Because the route of action of Liu Kun's reinforcements has not yet been discovered, although the basic plan for encirclement and reinforcement has been set and the manpower for implementation has been determined, the plan of encirclement and reinforcement will be implemented only after the location of the other party has been determined.

The current Liu Cong let the soldiers under his command swagger in front of Taishou Pang Chun, but surrounded him and did not attack.

Pang Chun also had a headache when he looked at the posture of the Xiongnu Han State only encircling and not attacking.

After all, the city has been preparing for a whole year, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to withstand the opponent's attack.

But the other party just surrounds but does not fight, which is like a sharp blade hanging over his head and does not know when it will fall.

The most important thing is that if you don't fight, it will not be convenient for you to unite the hearts of the people in the city!

And with the end of the strategic meeting at the top, Wang Mi returned to his tent, and at this moment Wang Sang came up and asked, "Brother, what task did the King of Chu give us!" ”

Wang Mi heard Wang Sang's inquiry, but said, "They went to fight Liu Kun's reinforcements, let us stay and besiege the eldest son!" ”

The eldest son is the seat of Shangdang County, and it is also the richest place in the entire Shangdang.

"Does the King of Chu plan to let you attack the city? If so, Sang Ding helped the clan brother take down the eldest son! Wang Sang said.

"It would be good if I was forced to take the eldest son!" Wang Mi shook his head and said, "They want to break Liu Kun's reinforcements first, and then turn around and persuade the eldest son to surrender, if they can't persuade them to surrender, I'm afraid they will let us fight!" ”

Hearing this, everyone didn't feel that this task was difficult, but it was just troublesome.

Because for any killer, the relatively well-targeted task of killing and attacking a city will be much easier for them to execute.

But changing the task of interception, it is not that it cannot be done, but it is relatively much more troublesome to do.

"Uncle, I listened to a little bit at the meeting just now, so I have some thoughts in my heart!?" Liu Taidao.

"As long as you kid has a lot of ghost ideas, Lao Tzu knows that it's right to take you!" When Wang Mi heard Liu Tai's words, he decisively patted Liu Tai on the shoulder and said, "Tai'er, they are all their own brothers, just say what you have to say!" ”

When the few people present heard Wang Mi's words, they couldn't help but glance at each other a few times, but they also had to admit Liu Tai's ability.

The vast majority of the people came from the militia that besieged Luoyang at the beginning, and after one or two years, the identities of the people are different, and some even complete the class leap.

But everyone knows Liu Tai in the end, and they won't underestimate him because he is young.

After all, if you are not satisfied with force, you can try force, and if you are not satisfied with the merits, you can take a look at Yecheng.

"If only the eldest son is intercepted and the enemy army is prevented from going out of the city to cause trouble, then we can dig an aqueduct and divert the waters of the Dan River to surround it. Then we will block it down, at least without the lives of our brothers. ”

Liu Tai said this, and added, "It's just that this project is to tire out the brothers' efforts!" ”

"What do you think of Tyre's idea?" When Wang Mi heard Liu Tai's words, his face couldn't help but show a little curiosity.

Cao Wei stood up and said, "This is a pretty good idea, especially for the brothers, this is just a matter of carrying soil, compared to a deadly battle, digging a canal or something, it's really not a difficult task." ”

Wang Mi said, "Okay, then we will give the order, and half of the soldiers will go to dig the canal every day!" ”

"By the way, all the excavated dirt will be transported to the front of Shangdang City and piled them up!" Liu Taidao.

"Why is that?!" Hearing Liu Tai's words, everyone looked at Liu Tai's eyes with a little doubt.

"There are two functions, one is to pile up the earth into a mountain, piled up higher than the eldest son's city defense, then when we attack the city, with this earth mountain, then we will be more convenient!"

Liu Tai stretched out one finger, and then another one, and said,

"There is a plan to build a mountain of dirt in front of us, so they will slack off on our strategy of digging ditches and diverting water.

After all, when we are strategizing, we can't put our hopes on others that others can't think of! ”

When Wang Mi heard Liu Tai's words, he didn't know how to complain for a while, isn't the so-called plan unthinkable?

But at this time, Cao Wei asked quite cooperatively, "What if he guesses our plan to go out of the city and fight!" ”

"My warriors are ready, just waiting to fight them out of the city!" Liu Tai said calmly, "So the battle department under my command will not participate in the matter of digging the ditch, after all, we need to recharge our energy and deal with the enemy army who can leave the city at any time!" ”

"......" Wang Mi heard Liu Tai's words, but slapped Liu Tai's shoulder fiercely.

Obviously, Liu Tai came up with an idea that required the whole army to sell his physical strength, but he found the most idle job for his war department.

At this moment, Wang Mi said viciously, "You come to take care of the digging brothers, if something happens to them, you will be responsible!" ”

"Order!" Liu Tai replied decisively to Wang Mi.

Cao Wei and Li Gu couldn't help but look at each other, you have already decided.

But they didn't stand up and say anything, after all, Liu Tai's plan is very highly executable, and there are two plans to cover each other, if the other party really can't help but go out of the city to fight, then the defense facilities in the city wall will be useless, and it will be even more undesirable for Wang Mi's army.

What's more, it's important to be able to use no dead people in this case.

For the guys who were involved in the peasant rebel army, everyone's view of life and death is more or less peculiar, that is, they don't care very much about life and death, but they are very desperate for their lives.

To a certain extent, the people who have survived under Wang Mi are all in prison.

Soon, Wang Mi's army was divided into two groups, one was responsible for digging canals, and the other was responsible for piling up earth into mountains.

Such a fanfare move, not to mention Pang Chun in the eldest son city, Liu Cong, who had not yet set off, first found out that Wang Mi's whole army was in full swing, thinking that Wang Mi wanted to wait until he left to attack the eldest son.

Because he was afraid that the overall strategy would be destroyed, Liu Cong found Wang Mi and asked, "Why is there such fanfare?" ”

"It is the strategy of a certain nephew Liu Tai, who wants to dig up the soil and pile up the soil into a mountain, and guide Danshui to cut off the road, so as to avoid our army from deploying a large number of troops to defend the eldest son's soldiers, if the eldest son does not know the number of days in the future, he can resist to the end, and he can also attack the city!"

At this time, Wang Mi was quite proud to show off Liu Tai to Liu Cong.

After Liu Cong heard Wang Mi's words, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Liu Tai? Could it be Liu Tai, who attacked Yecheng and rushed to the aid of Hyun's City, this person is really a natural general, this battle has not yet begun, but he has already achieved the first credit! ”

"The King of Chu is overrated, overrated!" When Wang Mi heard Liu Cong's words, he couldn't help but touch his beard and was very proud.

To be honest, many of the schemes' suggestions are difficult to measure by merit, because the conspiracy is completely ineffective until the end.

But Yangmou is different, Yangmou is so particular about suppressing people with power, especially when facing an iron lump that has been prepared for a year of defense, it is even more important to be able to play Yangmou.

Not to mention, at least there are no trees in the surrounding thirty miles, and when attacking the city, it is necessary to cut down trees from a distance and transport them to make siege weapons, and you can see from the subtleties that others are well prepared.

But in the face of such an opponent, Liu Tai was able to come up with a conspiracy that forced the other party to come out.

Especially this combination of yang and reality but magnificent, if you change yourself to the commander of the eldest son, the only hope is to go out of the city to fight, otherwise sooner or later you will be trapped and die in the eldest son city.

But if you go out of the city to fight by yourself, then the defense facilities that you have prepared in the eldest son city for more than a year will not be useful for a long time!

It is precisely because Liu Cong puts himself in his shoes that he will feel how uncomfortable Liu Tai's conspiracy will be for Pang Chun in the eldest son city.

Originally, Liu Cong was a little worried about not caring about Liu Kun's army in the eldest son's city and attacking Liu Kun's reinforcements, but now, the doubts in Liu Cong's heart were swept away, and he was only determined to kill Liu Kun's reinforcements!

This is also the most important reason why Liu Tai has already achieved the first credit although he only came out of this scheme.

Shi Le, who was on the side at the moment, looked at Wang Mi, but there was indescribable envy in his heart.

Wang Mi wants a family to have a family, to have talents, and even to make meritorious deeds, he doesn't need to go into battle to fight, he is really envious!
