Chapter 188: King of Zhongshan

Chapter 88: King of Zhongshan

The next day, Liu Zhengfeng found someone to take over the defense in Shucheng. Huo Yun cooperated very actively with these matters. After everything was explained, it was noon.

Now Huo Yun's most important task is to train the little man in his hand. At this time, Huo Yun is seriously training his team, hoping to improve their strength.

At the same time, there are a large number of people and horses stationed in the open field 100 miles away from Shucheng. The tent is connected to the tent. At a glance, it looks like mushrooms on the field at the earth. From time to time, the smoke rises, and there are three big characters floating on a flagpole - King Zhongshan.

"The king asked you to go to the camp"

A soldier said to Xiahou.

After hearing this, Xiahou tidied up his clothes and said to the messenger, "Do you know what your majesty is looking for me?" Although Xiahou has a vague guess in his heart, he thinks it's better to ask.

"I don't know about the general's problem, but I don't think your majesty's face is happy. It must be because of the general's failure. You will know when you see your majesty."

En! Go ahead and I'll be there later.

No!

Xiahou gathered with the large army of the King of Zhongshan in this evil morning. He thought that he was a general and took 2,000 leading troops to fight Shucheng. At the beginning, he boasted about Haikou, saying that as long as 2,000 people were enough, he did not expect that it would end up like this today. This was something that Xiahou dreamed of.

However, since it happened, Xiahou also faced it calmly. After all, Xiahou is a general, and he can still bear the failure to face this.

"Huo Yun, last time I underestimated the enemy that let you beat me. Now I am vigilant, and next time I will bring your head to pay tribute to my dead brother." With that, he walked towards the camp.

Entering the camp, I saw that all the generals had arrived. Xiahou's eyes swept over them and went straight to the king of Zhongshan. The defeated Xiahou met his majesty. I failed your majesty's request and did not take Shucheng and damaged more than a thousand people and horses. I also asked your majesty to condemn him.

Liu Chang was already full of anger and couldn't help but be angry when he heard this. "Do you know what kind of impact you will have on the whole war situation? Now that the army of the imperial court has been stationed in Shucheng, it is difficult for us to take down Shucheng. If you had followed our advice with 5,000 people with 5,000 people In the past, there was such a thing as this.

Xiahou knelt on the ground and listened silently.

General Liu Ping did make such a suggestion at the beginning, but he was rejected by himself, because he believed that Shucheng was just an empty shelf, and the combat effectiveness of those city defense forces was simply vulnerable. In addition, the information provided by Wang Liu in Shucheng spread rumors that the city defense army was already After running for more than half, I thought I could easily take Shucheng, but I didn't expect that a roadblock suddenly appeared. It not only defended Shucheng, but also wiped out more than 1,000 of myself.

Looking at the silent Xiahou, Liu Chang looks better.

"Say, what should you do this time!"

The other four generals present are speechless. At this time, they dare not touch their eyebrows. Isn't that looking for death?

"I would have been willing to apologize with death," Xiahou said, taking off his helmet and slaying heavily on the ground.

The generals were shocked and hurried out to stop it. According to their thoughts, Xiahou was scolded at most! Or a downgrade, but I didn't expect Xiahou to die.

You really want to die!

I hope your majesty can do it.

"Your Majesty, we are fighting with the court now. If the war is about to be killed, it will be very unfavorable to our military heart. Although General Xiahou has made mistakes, he has made great contributions before. Your Majesty, you should think twice." Liu Ping usually made friends with Xiahou and immediately stood up to plead for mercy.

"Your Majesty, you have to think twice."

Seeing everyone's reaction, Liu Chang sighed. Xiahou helped him up and said with a smile, "General, you don't have to worry about that matter. Victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers. I hope you can learn from this experience. I don't want you to have such a childish joke next time."

"Thank you for not killing. I will definitely learn the lesson this time and pay tribute to my dead soldiers with ten times the enemy's head on the battlefield."

All right!

Liu Chang waved his hand. I didn't come to blame you. After all, that has become a fact. I'm looking for you to know what your plans for the following war. Our army and the troops of King Yan are divided into two ways. Now the troops of King Yan and King Xiao have dragged down the army of Fengling.

And today's wind chimes have transferred nearly 50,000 teams from Lingxi to Shucheng, but I estimate that they will not be able to fight more than 30,000, of which 20,000 are riders, and the others are some elites in the city defense army and other camps, among which the city defense army accounts for more than 20,000, and the battle element of the city defense army You also know that 20,000 people can draw 5,000 people to fight, and only 5,000 people in other camps can go to the battlefield.

And we have 60,000 well-trained troops, but we are attacking the city. Although other people can't fight head-on, they can be used to defend the city, so we need to have an accurate layout for the whole battlefield, take Shucheng in one fell swoop, and then the front of the soldiers pointed straight to the source city. If we take the source city, we can form a bag against Lingxi with the King of Yan. Surrounding, completely cutting off the supply of Lingxi. Without grain and fodder, Lingxi will not last long.

Do you have any good suggestions for winning the first pass of Shucheng?

"Speaking of war, this is the strengths of these generals, so many methods have been said," but the specific implementation of those methods will be another matter.

After listening to the opinions of many generals, Liu Chang looked at Xiahou and said, "General Xiahou, do you have any good opinions? After all, you have attacked Shucheng, and you must know more about Shucheng."

Xiahou said respectfully, "Your Majesty, if we want to directly attack the city, the loss will be very serious, so we need to design their help to attract them, and then use our advantages to annihilate them in one fell swoop. I haven't come up with a good idea on how to lure the enemy out of the city, but only If your majesty trusts and gives me this opportunity, I will definitely come up with a good plan to take Shucheng in one fell swoop.

Other generals also knew that Xiahou wanted to atone for his sins.

General Xiahou is right. If we attack the city, the most serious loss will be us. Presumably they must be waiting for us to attack the city now, so we can pretend to attack, pretend to be invincible, retreat, wait for their large troops to come out, and give them a fatal blow instead. However, it is very difficult to implement. If we don't pay attention to it, we will really fail.

said that Liu Chang frowned tightly.

Since following the King of Yan on this road, Liu Chang knew that he had no room to retreat. Even if he surrendered to the court now, although the court is very welcome now, after calming down the King of Yan, his good days will definitely come to an end. No emperor wants to see a person participating in the rebellion as a prince.

But fortunately, from the beginning of the army to now, my side can be said to be smooth sailing. Along the way, the city was broken like broken paper, and it arrived here smoothly, and not only did not lose, but also strengthened its strength.

"Your Majesty, why don't we recruit troops, strengthen some people, and use them to attack the city as bait, and we will hide around and wait for the opportunity to move." A general said.

Recruitment! How much do you think we can recruit now?

"Your Majesty, we have been recruiting new soldiers, but they have not sent them to the rear. Your Majesty usually works hard, and we have not told your Majesty about this matter. From the age of 13 to 60, we have now recruited nearly 70,000 people. King Qixiao, the king of Yan, is also recruiting a large number of new recruits.

But they have not been trained. Can they fight?

"We don't need them to fight. We just use them as bait. ** The army of the imperial court has gone out of the city, and we can even recruit strong men from the conquered city to make up the number."

"Your Majesty, I think this plan is feasible," Xiahou said.

The rest of the generals also nodded. They had no sympathy for those strong men. They were concerned about the soldiers in their hands.

"Okay, follow this plan." King Zhongshan thought for a moment and felt that this was a very good way. It was time for them to pay for them to protect those unsable people for so long.
