Chapter Thirty-Eight: I Have Three Strategies: Upper, Middle and Lower

So much so that the land of Yanzhou is full of all kinds of armed forces. However, now that Li Qi came under the banner of the imperial court, the armed forces everywhere responded one after another.

Although, in Richie's opinion, these are all rabble. But when there are more people, the momentum grows. It also makes ordinary people more confident. Follow the rebellion!

For a while, almost a parade, almost encountering any hard battles, it was fought under the city of Yanzhou. The city was besieged.

However, at this point, there is no such thing as this. Yanzhou is the most important base to defend against the northern witches.

The built city is high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The main forces of the northern witches are almost confined to the city.

Frightened those shamans who were good at field warfare and had unparalleled cavalry into hiding in the city and did not dare to fight. To say this, it is naturally very majestic.

However, at this time, it also made Li Qi a little distressed. In this way, it is very difficult to conquer this Yanzhou City!

"Go back to ......camp," Richie sighed, and returned to camp on horseback. It seems that these witches are determined to pay attention and can't hold on.

He can only attack the city by waiting for the army to cut down trees on the spot and make all kinds of siege equipment.

Back in the handsome tent, Li Qi took out the letter from Fan Yi in a daze.

As mentioned above, let him take Yanzhou as much as possible, and it is best to completely annihilate the northern witches. even mentioned a shadow......

However, even with the help of the shadows, it is not easy to do this in a short time. Without him, I'm afraid that the Xiling people will not sit idly by and watch the army take Yanzhou and ignore it.

Qingyang Dao was taken down quickly, and the Xiling people didn't even have time to react. But the more this is the case, the more important Yanzhou becomes. The people of the West Spirit will definitely intervene.

His own family knows about his own affairs, although his subordinates seem to be numerous. But these rabble, many times, are not enough to achieve and more to lose. If once forced by the witch cavalry. These rabbles could collapse, even the formation of his own men and horses.

After all, he only has 20,000 horses under his command, a while ago. After Fan Yi took Los Angeles, he gave him another 10,000 reinforcements.

But. This number is still too small. It is not difficult to defeat the Northern Witches, but it will be difficult to annihilate them all. And to completely control the entire Yanzhou, it will be even more difficult.

But at this time, someone came to report: "General, is there someone outside asking to see?"

"Oh, did you say anything?" said Richie, frowning slightly.

Since he led his troops into Yanzhou, powerful people from all over the country have come to seek refuge. For a while, Li Qi really had to swallow a mouthful of food three times, and he wanted to meet three people......

Although I am afraid that the major events of the world will be delayed. For every person who asks for a meeting, Li Qi has to meet in person. But it was clearly not a pleasant experience.

"The man said he had something important to say to the general, about the ...... of the witches in the city. However, the man was dressed as if he was wearing a ......."

Li Qi was stunned, that is, he was not dressed very well. Could it be that the seeker is from a poor family?

But no matter what, Li Qi still said, "Please!"

As he spoke, he stood up to greet him, most of the people who came to see Li Qi were at least figures with great prestige in a township and a county.

When you see each other, you can subdue the hearts of the people of a place. So although it is hard. But Richie didn't dare to put on any show.

Sure enough, soon there was a white-haired dressed washed, but clean linen. Looks. He was only in his forties, and a middle-aged man with a clear appearance walked in.

Li Qi asked with a smile: "This gentleman asks to see, I don't know what to see?"

"Under the surname Wang, it is called Wang Pu. I came to see you today, for the sake of this Yanzhou City?"

Is it a madman? Such a big breath! Richie remained silent, and was the first to think of it.

But it's not like another world from the Ming and Qing dynasties. At this time, most of the knowledge was still monopolized in the hands of the family, and the knowledge was not popularized, and most of the knowledge mastered was the elite. Ordinary people, not many can read and write.

It's not like the Ming and Qing dynasties in another world. With the popularity of the imperial examination. Knowledge has long since spread to the lower classes. The so-called Chao is Tian Shelang, and the twilight of the Heavenly Son Hall is also!

That's too much. will only die reading some poetry books and drop a few sentences in the book bag. The character who thought he was Wang Zuozhicai came out.

At this time, the one who dares to say such a big thing in front of him Li Qi must have a few brushes?

"What is Mr. Wang's good plan?" Li Qi politely asked.

This Wang Pu smiled faintly: "Actually, this matter is not difficult for the general, and taking this Yanzhou is just a matter of idle ......."

What a big breath, Li Qi was still struggling about this matter, but he heard this person speak in such a tone. His eyebrows were twisted, and his heart was slightly displeased. If it's really a very simple thing, wouldn't it mean that he Li Qi is a stupid person, and he can't think of such a simple solution after being distressed for so long?

"If the expectation is good, the witch will open the city tonight to break through......" Fortunately, this Wang Pu didn't plan to sell Guanzi, and said on his own.

"What?" exclaimed Rich. was woken up by this Wang Pu's words, and suddenly found that he had never thought that if these northern witches refused to hold on to the city?

That's right, in the eyes of their people of Middle-earth. Seeing such a big city as Yanzhou, so difficult to attack, the first thought in my heart must be to rely on the city to hold on. It's almost racial!

However, those witches who gallop happily and never care about the city, will also think so?

Even if it is this northern witch, Yanzhou was made the imperial capital and became the capital of Northern Yan. But they will definitely die to protect Yanzhou City?

The king's tent of those Xiling people is even set up in the underworld, not in any big city in the Han land!

"Thank you, sir, for reminding me, I was slacking off just now!" said Richie quickly. It doesn't matter if this person is just a fool, but it is already important to remind yourself of these things at this time!

"Wait!" Wang Pu smiled faintly: "I don't know if the general is going to be ordered to take Yanzhou City, or to completely annihilate the witches of the Northern Land?"

Li Qi was taken aback, and this sentence was very tricky. These three questions seem to be similar, but Li Qi knows in his heart that the results are too far behind.

And this man also mentions being ordered, intentionally or unintentionally...... This is not just Li Qi who is tempted in words, but Fan Yi...... Could it be that this is a test of the heart and courage of the son?

In today's world, not only the monarch chooses the minister. The minister also chooses the king. has a weird temper with great ability, but it's not so easy to take refuge in your heart.

Li Qi even heard Fan Yi tell a story that was not recorded in the history books. It is said that there is a certain dynasty, and there is a court that occupies Jiangzuo. The Northern Expedition of the powerful minister called Huan Wen hit the old capital Guanzhong.

And there was a raunchy man who asked to see him. Talking about the world, between gestures, all the heroes in the world are like fleas who have been pressed to death by him.

Huan Wen was greatly heartbroken when he saw it, and knew that this person was an immortal material. However, Wang Meng concluded that Huan Wen was not sincere in the Northern Expedition, and had no intention of being stationed in Guanzhong, so he refused to take refuge. Later, that Huan Wen became the prime minister of the former Qin that rose in Guanzhong, making the former Qin dominate the time.

This story, although Li Qi has looked through many history books, has not seen it. But since it was said from Fan Yi's mouth. That must be true.

There are not too many lessons to prosper the world if you win one person, and not too many lessons for a country to die if you lose one.

Although the prince has conquered most of Middle-earth, there is still a strong enemy of Xiling on his side. But it's not the time to ignore heroes. Even if it's not certain for the time being, this person is really that immortal!

Therefore, Li Qi became more and more polite to Wang Pu, and said: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land." On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. The prince of the world went out on the expedition for the general, and naturally he wanted to fight hard to recover and restore the world!"

This Wang Pu also glanced at Li Qi and admired it in his heart. I thought this Richie was not too good. But he was entrusted with the task of Fan Yi, and he was inevitably a little ignorant!

But at this time, after personally contacting Li Qi, I began to admire in my heart. Perhaps this man's military prowess is not so impressive. However, it has the style of a general. In this sentence just now, Wang Pu only has the praise of the festival!

It seems that the son of the Fan family is really not an ordinary person.

Since he had such an idea, Wang Pu smiled and said: "If you want to take Yanzhou all, it will be more difficult, and you can't let these witches escape......

Li Qi nodded his head, and his heart was concerned. It's not hard to defeat these shamans, especially after thinking that they will flee in panic. But it is the cavalry who want to intercept them all. It was not so easy for the guys who came and went like the wind to escape.

Just let it escape. There will be endless troubles. Not to mention becoming a side trouble, it is more likely to take refuge in Xiling. Lure the Xiling cavalry into the ......

The Northern Witches occupied Yanzhou for nearly twenty years. Familiar with the terrain and other situations, lead the Xiling cavalry into Yanzhou, and it will be a big trouble.

"I have three strategies for the general to choose from. Wang Pu said.

Li Qi was stunned, and when he talked to this guy named Wang Pu, there was always a feeling that his IQ was being crushed. He only vaguely thought of a solution, and Wang Pu had already thought of three mature strategies. This makes Li Qizhen really don't know what to say?

"Will the plan be released?"

"The next strategy is to encircle the three and deliberately let these witches go. The general sent someone to ambush him halfway!"

What Li Qi vaguely thought of just now was this method. I just haven't figured out how to implement it yet.

However, at this time, this Wang Pu had already come to the front of the handsome case. With all kinds of arrows and the like, a rudimentary terrain was posed.

Then he explained how to encircle three and lack one, and how to use the terrain to prompt the Northern Yan cavalry to escape to the predetermined trap, and then ambush and kill them.

This is not as simple as talking on paper, but it is as clear as the terrain near Yanzhou City as clear as the palm of your hand, so you can put forward such a plan.

Li Qi, who listened to it, was greatly admired, but asked: "Mr. Wang's plan is very good, how can you say that it is a plan?"

Wang Pu listened and said lightly: "This strategy is a bit complicated, if there is a little change in it, the witch will be released." Moreover, with such an ambush, it is difficult to leave 30,000 cavalry. At most, intercept the next part!"

Li Qi listened and had to agree. The battle line between the cavalry was much looser than that of the infantry. The horses are large and galloping fast, leaving a large gap in the middle to prevent collisions.

Therefore, the 30,000 cavalry in this Yanzhou city fled. That's the scale of a mile radius. How big of an ambush ring does it take to fit it thoroughly?

Therefore, it is simply impossible to leave them all. At most, leave half to a third, and that's good.

"The middle strategy is to immediately send troops to take and repair Yanshan Pass! As long as this pass is repaired, Yanzhou and the grassland will be isolated. In this way, the way for these witches to escape back to the outside of the gate is cut off, and it is already a trend of catching turtles in the urn!"

Li Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this. Quickly tear open the map. Look closely.

More than 300 miles north of Yanzhou City, there are continuous mountains, like a natural barrier. Isolated from Middle-earth and Outside the Border. There is a natural passage in it, and that is where Yanshan Pass is located.

It's just that. At the time of the Great Yu, the northern witches declined and were blocked on the first line of Yinshan Mountain. It is hundreds of miles away from Yanshan, which is equivalent to the Middle-earth front advancing so much into the grassland. This Yanshan Pass is located in the interior, which has lost its strategic role and is almost abandoned.

Therefore, being reminded by this Wang Puyi, Li Qi came to his senses. Look at the map. said: "The city here has been abandoned for a long time, I'm afraid it will not be built so quickly......

Wang Pu said lightly: "I still have the best strategy, and the best strategy is to besiege but not attack." Trap it in the city so that it has no chance to escape!"

As soon as Wang Pu came up, he proposed this so-called best policy. Li Qi didn't have to think about it, he just spit on him.

However, now that I have seen what this person is capable of. Although I still couldn't figure it out, I began to think deeply. I won't be so denied it.

"This best strategy is best used in combination with the middle policy, then Yanshan Pass must be repaired. Even if you don't guard against the northern witches, you have to guard against the western witches......"

Li Qi asked distressedly, "Since Mr. Wang knows." The Western Witches could intervene at any time, so why don't you let me wait for a quick fix. Instead, do this kind of laborious and laborious thing......"

"Without him, in order to take all Yanzhou ears! As long as these witches are trapped for three months. I can go into the city and convince these witches to surrender......"

"Huh?" Richie suddenly understood. The three strategies of this king Puti are false. From beginning to end, I thought of such a strategy, to build Yanshan Pass, and block Xiling reinforcements outside Yanzhou. Build a long siege and trap the northern witches in Yanzhou City. Wait for them to run out of ammunition and food, and force them to surrender in one fell swoop.

In this way, not only the border troubles will be solved in one fell swoop. More importantly, there is a lack of tens of thousands of cavalry at once.

This is an extremely important asset. Although there is no shortage of horses in Yanzhou, there is no shortage of warriors who are good at riding. But to form a cavalry capable of fighting. But it's not a simple thing.

Why did the prince take Yanzhou in its entirety? In addition to eliminating the enemies in the north, did he not expect Yanzhou to provide a new force?

And this new force. Apparently not the rabble.

Thinking of this, Li Qi was immediately convinced by this Wang Pu. said: "Mr. is really talented, I might as well show the prince that Mr. is a great merit!"

At this time, Wang Pu was relieved. I have been observing Li Qi's expression, and I am a little worried about my life.

After all, there are too many jealous guys in this world. Wang Pu has nothing, and it is not impossible for him to meet such a general, kill him casually, and take his credit for himself!

So, if it's not true, there's no way. Wang Pu could also go and ask for the Fan Yi prince directly, and he didn't want to ask to see Fan Yi's generals. This is the difference between the interests of the boss and his subordinates, and the pattern is different.

However, at this moment, seeing Li Qi's sincere face, he bowed and saluted. This Wang Pu felt a little embarrassed, as if he had some taste of a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain.

laughed at himself, and thought to himself, this son of the world really knows how to use people!

The biggest problem with this Yanzhou is not military. It's political.

Li Qi's military talent can only be said to be qualified, and there is not much to be amazed about. However, this man has a generous and generous personality, and is industrious and hardworking. But it is the best person to come to Yanzhou. It is easiest to subdue the hearts of these forces in Yanzhou!

In this way, it is a little leisurely and fascinating. I don't know this Fan Yi Shizi. What kind of person is he? All those who can make meritorious contributions are extraordinary.

And Fan Yi invaded the north in the south, and the 30,000 army destroyed Chengzhou and Xiahan County. Millions of heroes crossed the river and swept across the north, almost dominating the world.

Today, I can see that his general Li Qi is such a person, which shows that his talents are prosperous. It's really the scale of the Lord of the World who calms the world!

"In this case, let's take this policy first!" Li Qi made up his mind: "However, it is also time to report to the world." ”

That night, the shaman prepared to flee out of the city. However, as soon as the city gate was opened, the golden drums immediately sounded in unison, and ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and they shot it back.

On the second day, the rebels began to be ordered to dig up the earth. Build a long fence.

The so-called long fence is nothing more than digging a tunnel. But on the side of the tunnel, the earth and rocks were piled up high. Form fortifications and trap the enemy in the city.

This is the stupidest of all. The most laborious siege method. However, when there are enough troops, it is also the safest way. However, it is not months, years can not be fruitful.

Even the most extreme is that in another world, Mongolia has been trapped in Xiangyang for five years. until it ran out of ammunition and food......

This is often a helpless way to be used only after all kinds of siege methods have been unsuccessful. The amount of money consumed by oneself is also astronomical.

However, Richie came up and used this tactic.

It took nearly a month for the news to reach Los Angeles along the Great River Waterway.

This time. Fan Yixian did not comment on this matter. Instead, he sighed, it seems that a canal should be built to connect the river near Yanzhou City with the big river, so that not only the news, but also the material exchange will be too convenient!

However, this is also just a thought. This is the work of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in another world, and with the great unification of the Sui Dynasty, they were all dragged down by the Grand Canal.

Now Fan Yi has not even unified the world, so he wants to build a canal at the expense of the people and money. Even if the scale is far less, it is not so easy.

"Thou shalt draw up a candidate. Fan Yi said lightly: "Send officials to Yanzhou, as well as recruit the heroes of Yanzhou, to come to my shogunate!"

This is the beginning. It's going to be an official in a different place. Zhou Anxin understood and said, "Yes!"

"What about the matter of Yanzhou City?" Although this question was implicit, it was still talking about Li Qi's thankless efforts to build a long fence.

Fan Yi smiled faintly: "The general will not be subject to the order of the monarch outside! Since Archie has been sent to take charge alone, these things will be commanded by him!"

Zhou Anxin was awe-inspired, he couldn't imagine that Fan Yi trusted Li Qi so much, so he shouldn't say anything more, and bowed down.

"And. When officials from all over the country take office, the first thing they do. It is to build a temple of the earth. We must hurry up on this matter!"

"Yes!"

The major affairs of the country. For the only worship of Rong. The establishment of earth temples in various places to replace the Qingshen Yangtian of Qingyang Dao is naturally a top priority.

Who made the Fan family father and son believe in the Earth God Monarch? There are even rumors that the Earth God Monarch is still the Fan Family God.

Thinking of this, even Zhou An was envious. The Fan family is about to sweep the world, and in the future, the Divine Monarch of the land will follow, wouldn't it be even more ......

Stop, the affairs of the gods are easy for ordinary people to interfere......

The dark capital is a wonderful place, like an independent ghost domain, and even has some rudiments of the underworld.

Yingyi in ancient times was built here, and with the defeat of the ancient gods, this place began to be shrouded in evil energy, and continued to fall towards the depths of the earth.

In the future, near here, it is the dividing line between the Wu tribe in Middle-earth and the grassland, and I don't know how many times the two sides have experienced great wars here.

The ancient battlefield was superimposed layer by layer, forming the ghost domain of the dangerous ancient battlefield that the Earth God Monarch had previously entered.

However, this place is only the outer edge of the secluded capital. In the past, no one dared to go deep into the location of Yingyi. Even when the Black Emperor of the North sat in Yinshan, it was to prevent some of these horrors from existing, and after escaping, he wreaked havoc on the world.

And it is said that it is because of this huge ancient battlefield that the murderous spirit is full and ghosts are rampant. So much so that even ordinary troops did not dare to take it lightly.

Therefore, the northern witches were isolated to the north of the hidden capital. The shamans outside the Saiwai were divided into northern shamans and western shamans......

As a result, the shamans who occupied the north did not have good traffic and began to decline. And the Western Witches, with the countries of the Western Regions to loot, are also on the trade route. Started to get stronger day by day.

In the vicinity of this secluded capital, there has been no war for hundreds of years. And it was a long time ago that the army passed through this ancient battlefield.

Fifty thousand Xiling cavalry, starting from the underworld, bypassed the edge of the desert, and after so many days of arduous trek on the grassland, they finally came to the periphery of this secluded capital.

Although it was daylight, when I walked here, I still felt that it was gray everywhere, and the sun was also miserable, making it difficult to see the situation one or two hundred meters away.

The horses were uneasy, and so were the horsemen. Although there were only 50,000 cavalry, there were at least more than 100,000 horses prepared.

Everyone is one man, two horses, or even three horses. In this way, they can withstand the rapid movement of long distances, otherwise these horses would have been unable to withstand it for a long time. (To be continued)
