Yang Zhi arrived at the foot of Youzhou City, only to see Qu Duan personally greeted him in the long pavilion, and the two of them laughed and entered Youzhou City; Wu Jue and Liu Ziyu are only 10,000 people, plus the army you brought with you, and more than 20,000 people are planning to launch an attack on 80,000 Western Xia cavalry? You must know that the Western Xia people are waiting for an opportunity to defeat you. ”

"If you want to defeat me, you must take Yue Fei first, judging from the information we have gathered, Brother Richard is still in Xingzhou, and the backbone of the Western Xia army is Ren Decong alone, 80,000 troops come from different systems, and they are quite discordant, such a layout has one of the biggest problems, that is, the rumors will not stop, and once Ren Decong has an accident, this Lingzhou will be like a plate of scattered sand. Yang Zhi explained: "Brother Richard and the others don't fully believe in Ren Decong, there are many back hands arranged in the dark, and even if Ren Decong knows it, there is no way to cut off these hands that are stretched out to his military camp." ”

"Big brother, you won't expect this, you're fooling me, right?" Qu Duan looked at Yang Zhi with some dissatisfaction, after all, the war still depends on the army, Yang Zhi will not know this truth; as for rumors, it also depends on what kind of rumors it is. Yang Zhi said with a smile: "Second brother, although Brother Richard is not in Lingzhou, he is still alive, and now his every move must also affect the military morale of Lingzhou; Ren Decong has a fatal weakness, that is, he is a Han Chinese; and the Tangut people have a characteristic that they always lack confidence in themselves." ”

"Now, do you have a way?" Qu Duan asked, Yang Zhi nodded and said, "I want to start from the inside of Lingzhou, no matter how strong the fortress is, it can't prevent attacks from the inside." also used old tricks, saying that Ren Decong wanted to be king in Western Xia, and if he had a coincidence, he would attack Lingzhou or not use too many manpower. ”

Qu Duan has been in the northwest for a long time, and knows that all ethnic groups in the party are wary of the Han people, and Ren Decong already has a daughter as the queen mother, and it is impossible to eliminate the worries and precautions of the Western Xia nobles about Ren Decong; Qu Duan pondered for a moment and said: "Since it is a repetition of the old trick, we need a piece of evidence, a piece of evidence that makes people believe it." ”

"It's a pity that Meng Yue is gone, otherwise such rumors can be passed on from Xingzhou. Yang Zhi said with a smile, Qu Duan sneered: "Big brother, you don't have no intelligence network in Xixia, what Wu Song and Cai Fu are doing in the field, everyone knows it, and at this time, there is no need to keep another hand." ”

"You're all thinking too much, I'm not that diligent. Yang Zhi obtained Qu Duan's consent and immediately sent someone to find Cai Fu, which was a response to the speculation of Youzhou Lu and other forces; Cai Fucheng ran over in fear, and saw his boss Liu Ziyu at the gate and asked: "Lord Liu, what is Yang Shuai looking for me?"

Liu Ziyu didn't think about it, so he opened his mouth and said, "Yang Shuai wants to ask you how well you have collected information about Western Xia." ”

Liu Ziyu is an expert in this area, knowing that Cai Fu has never left Youzhou, and it is absolutely impossible to lobby high-ranking officials in Western Xia, and he may be able to develop a few businessmen as his own secret stakes; Cai Fu was stunned for a moment: "Lord Liu, when I came to Youzhou, Yang Shuai didn't have such an arrangement, but just asked me to make a fuss about the business arrangement." ”

The meaning of Cai Fu's words is very straightforward, Yang Zhi's meaning is to take care of some people's business, and it is clear that he wants to shelter some businesses, and he has nothing to do with intelligence at all; Liu Ziyu was caught off guard, and suddenly lost his smile, if this is the case, Yang Zhi relies on the intelligence of Youzhou Road, whether it is Quduan or himself, although he has an idea, constantly investigating the deployment of Western Xia, but for the real layout of Lingzhou, there is still some uncertainty.

Liu Ziyu hurriedly took Cai Fu into the hall, and sighed sincerely, life and death, heaven and earth are useless, and his fate has to be decided by himself; Yang Zhi saw Cai Fu bow down and didn't say a word, Qu Duan personally asked a few words, and made sure that Cai Fu didn't have any task to deal with Western Xia, and he was dumbfounded all of a sudden. The first grab

Wu Jue came forward and said: "Yang Shuai, the last general has drawn a map of Lingzhou, and there is a plan. ”

The map that Wu Jue took out was marked in more detail than that of Jing Liusi, Qu Duan suddenly woke up from the chaos, ignored the surprised gazes of his subordinates on both sides, looked at Wu Jue and asked, "Why didn't you submit it in advance?"

Qu Duan was worried that Yang Zhi was secretly laying out on Youzhou Road, Wu Jue arched his hand and said: "The last general was once responsible for deducing and attacking Lingzhou in Qinzhou, and there were many questions at that time, and when I arrived at Youzhou Road, I wanted to figure out these problems, so I specifically consulted the merchants and those nomadic tribes who came and went, and also asked the captured Western Xia generals, after several months of accumulation, I had this map." ”

Yang Zhi nodded secretly, Qu Duan's ability is not under Wu Jue, he is still Wu Jue's boss, he was killed by Wu Jue in another time and space, now it is not accidental, Wu Jue's mind is far more meticulous than Qu Duan, but Yang Zhi's original intention is not to want history to go over according to the original procedure, so he interjected in time and said: "Wu Jue, tell me about your combat intentions." ”

Wu Jue pointed to the map and said: "Our army's attack on Lingzhou is to push the Western Xia into a desperate situation, and it is absolutely impossible to stop the war in Lingzhou alone;

If they can capture Xiazhou and Lingzhou, the Western Xia will be under pressure and will most likely compromise and sign an agreement with us again to protect their own interests; Once the battle situation gets out of control, our army will fall into passivity, after all, Shaanxi Wulu still can't fight the Western Xia who is preparing to destroy the country in terms of troops. ”

Yang Zhi stopped Qu Duan, who was about to run away, and asked Wu Jue: "The 50,000 Western Xia troops in Xiazhou, if they are killed from the desert, it is not something that the defenders of Youzhou and Suizhou can handle." ”

Wu Jue shook his head and said: "The Western Xia army in Xiazhou has been replenished many times, and it is no longer the original elite of a hundred battles, Yang Shuai, you and Qu Shuai together have more than 30,000 elite soldiers, which is enough." According to the order of the Zhifu Division, Liu Ziyu and I will cross the river and attack, you just need to hold the retreat here. ”

Wu Jue's words were bold enough, Yang Zhi turned to Liu Ziyu and asked, "Ziyu, are there any difficulties?"

"Nope. Liu Ziyu said very firmly, clenching his fists.
