"Yes, that's exactly the case!" Li Fengyun nodded and explained, "This is Guo Shuai's cleverness! Any qualified general, faced with such a situation, will probably choose this strategy." It is absolutely impossible to storm by force, it is the behavior of a reckless man, and it is not enough to take it! It is even more of a joke to persuade him to surrender, Li Shouzhen is still very good at buying people's hearts, and the loyalty of the generals who can always follow him can be imagined. Even when he was trapped on the bank of the Yellow River, Li Shouzhen's subordinates never left him, let alone now?

Therefore, General Guo's strategy of besieging but not attacking is absolutely in line with his character and style of using troops, and no one will cherish it.

But no one thought that General Guo had no intention of trapping Li Shouzhen from the beginning, because in the case of instability everywhere in the Central Plains, time did not allow, and in this way, the people in the city must have suffered very heavy casualties, which may not be what Guo Shuai wants to see. He fooled everyone, and the strategy he really had to adopt was to attack, surprise attack.

Guo Shuai has always been calm in his use of soldiers and doesn't like to use strangeness, so Li Shouzhen has no doubts, and I don't doubt them. ”

"Are you saying that Guo Wei is pretending to be a deceitful plan to underestimate the enemy's morale?" Gongsun Wuwu carefully looked at the terrain around the river, although he had already memorized this terrain by heart, his face became extremely gloomy.

Li Fengyun nodded, and continued: "I have never understood why General Guo's defense line has been broken again and again, with his ability, even if Bai Wenke, Guo Congyi, Chang Si and other troops and horses are useless, and they are broken once or twice, they should always be able to find a way to deal with it, how can they be defeated again and again? Now that I think about it, Guo Shuai didn't plan to besiege Hezhong City for a long time, he used a strategy of arrogance. Just waited for Li Shouzhen's soldiers and horses to relax, he was taken by surprise, attacked him unprepared, and killed him by surprise. ”

"But Li Shouzhen is also a famous general in the world, is it impossible not to guard against his move?" asked Gongsun Wuwu.

Li Fengyun shook his head and replied, "Even if Li Shouzhen sees through Guo Shuai's plan, it is useless. The plan of arrogance is not to be arrogant in the hearts of their generals, but in the hearts of their soldiers. There is a saying that there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves.

I still remember the battle of Zhenzhou between Yang Guangyuan and Du Chongwei, and the situation at that time was somewhat similar to that in Hezhong. At that time, Du Chongwei's subordinates also had a wide range of soldiers, including Wang Chongyin, Fu Yanqing, Zhang Yanze, and more than 20,000 elite soldiers who had been trained for a long time. And that's not even counting the people in the city who can be requisitioned. The city of Zhenzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the grain and grass in the city are sufficient, and the equipment is complete.

And Yang Guangyuan only has 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and only 30,000 can be regarded as elite. It stands to reason that it is almost impossible for Yang Guangyuan to break through Zhenzhou.

But at one time, Yang Guangyuan's soldiers and horses almost broke through the city wall of Zhenzhou City. If it weren't for General Wang Chongyin's desperate drag on Yang Guangyuan's soldiers and horses, and didn't let them take the city gate, General Fu Yanqing came to help in time, and it was difficult to say who would win and who would lose.

At that time, Yang Guangyuan used the strategy of slacking off his army's heart, and for several days, he sent those troops to do futile sieges, so that the defending soldiers and generals despised the siege soldiers and horses. Suddenly, one day, the elite soldiers were concentrated, and by surprise, the defenders of the city were taken by surprise and a large section of the city wall was taken. If it weren't for a fluke, Zhenzhou City would have changed hands a long time ago!"

Li Fengyun said of course that he was in the battle of the city wall in Zhenzhou, and Li Fengyun was deeply impressed in that battle. Yang Guangyuan's command of the siege battle was too exquisite, if it weren't for the coincidence that he fell into the realm of emptiness, and Li Yibao was interested in his so-called exercises, he should have died in that battle a long time ago, and Zhenzhou should have been successfully taken by Yang Guangyuan.

Li Fengyun still remembers that before that battle, Du Chongwei couldn't say that he was very concerned about the city defense, and was ready to guard against Yang Guangyuan's sneak attack, but he still fell for Yang Guangyuan and almost lost Zhenzhou City. This has nothing to do with Du Chongwei, but with his subordinates, his subordinates. After all, those soldiers who defend the city can't hang their hearts forever, and there are always times when they are slack, especially when they repeatedly repelled Yang Guangyuan's siege soldiers and horses without difficulty, naturally, they have the intention of slackness. This allowed Yang Guangyuan to find an opportunity.

Li Fengyun had mentioned this battle case to Gongsun Wuwu, so naturally there was no need to explain it to Gongsun Wuwu in detail.

In that battle, Yang Guangyuan only took a few days to slack off the German army, and this time Guo Wei spent more than half a year to slack off Li Shouzhen's defenders. And it was done very thoroughly, and he actually recruited the people to build a circle of earthen ramparts and fences around the city in the river, but he did not attack the city in the river once, making it clear that he would besiege it for a long time. He even allowed Li Shouzhen's soldiers and horses to repeatedly break through the earthen fortresses of the besieged city and dismantle the earthen fortresses and fences.

Guo Wei built an earthen fortress and a tree fence, and when it was almost completed, Li Shouzhen made a surprise attack to break through the siege and dismantle the earthen fortress and fence, and then Guo Wei gathered the defeated soldiers and the people to rebuild the earthen barrier and tree fence...... This kind of thing has been staged again and again, and I am afraid that Li Shouzhen's soldiers and horses have long looked down on the combat power of Guo Wei's soldiers and horses.

In this case, who would have expected that Guo Wei would suddenly attack the city in the middle of the river, so as to take the city in the middle of the river in one fell swoop?

"The plan of the arrogant army is here, what does the strategy of gathering sharp mean?" Gongsun Wuwu asked again.

Li Fengyun laughed twice and said: "I bet that the soldiers and horses used by Guo Shuai to capture Hezhong City this time will definitely not be the soldiers and horses of Bai Wenke, Guo Congyi, Chang Si and others, but the 10,000 elite soldiers of the headquarters he brought."

I have seen the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals under General Guo, and their hearts are higher than the other, and their noses are going to rise to the sky.

Worry-free boy, think about it, such soldiers and horses, every few days to see the defeat of friendly troops, can you get used to it, can you be angry in your heart? It is indispensable to speak coldly, and there must be a lot of ugly words. Bai Wenke, Guo Congyi, Chang Si and other soldiers and horses can stand this anger, and they must ridicule each other, in this way, Guo Shuai doesn't want to say anything at all, inspire the army, the 10,000 soldiers and horses in his department have long been full of energy, and they want to teach Bai Wenke, Guo Congyi, Chang Si and other soldiers and horses how to fight.

General Guo let them hold this breath for nearly a year, but there is nowhere to vent, once they are allowed to attack the city, how can the soldiers not use their lives, all of them desperately?

Of course, relying on their 10,000 soldiers and horses alone can't clean up Li Shouzhen. But in this way, seeing that the gate of Hezhong City was easily breached by Guo Wei, Bai Wenke, Guo Congyi, Chang Si and other soldiers and horses could still calm down, but they were pressed and beaten by Li Shouzhen for nearly a year.

The way of the art of war, care about one heart, there is no absolute strong army, there is no absolute weak brigade, the stragglers are good to use, they are also a group of tigers, they can't fight hard Bai Wenke, Guo Congyi, Chang Si they can't beat down, can they still not do it after chasing and fleeing, exterminating the rout? If they can't even do this, they will be vain all the princes all the way, and it is impossible to take Tongguan.

Therefore, as long as Guo Wei's 10,000 elite soldiers take the city gate, the rest will be easy. ”

After listening to Li Fengyun's explanation, Gongsun Wuwu sighed: "Doesn't that mean that Li Shouzhen is destined to be defeated when he meets Guo Wei." Guo Wei's method of attacking the city is incomprehensible? If one day, Guo Wei confronts our Fengyunwei, won't we suffer a great loss?"
