After a moment of silence, Wei Zheng said, "I agree with Duke Wei's analysis. It's getting harder and harder to fight against Xia Xia now. Back then, if Du Qi's weapons weren't powerful, it wouldn't be difficult for us to take down a small county with an army of three hundred thousand. Even if the county's defenses weren't weak, it wouldn't be difficult for us to win. "
"But now, it's different."
"Everything has changed."
"Because the other party has new weapons, the more people we have, the more casualties we will suffer."
Wei Zheng said, "But there's a problem now. Even if we want to take down the county, it won't be easy. Because we've been attacking for three days now, we don't know how many people we need to take down the city. This is the most difficult thing. This county is extremely wide. Our people spread out to attack, but the problem is that the other party has a lot of cannons on top of the city tower. The cannons are bombarding us one after another, making it impossible for us to attack. "
Zhangsun Wuji nodded and said, "So now, we have to think of a solution. My idea is simple. The three of us should gather together and discuss how to take down the city. After we solve this situation, we will report to His Majesty and inform everyone. "
Wei Zheng said, "Duke of Qi's words are an experienced strategy."
Zhangsun Wuji looked at Li Jing and said, "Duke Wei, do you have a solution?"
Li Jing stroked his beard and thought carefully.
Zhangsun Wuji and Wei Zheng were also thinking.
The three of them were thinking.
"I have an immature suggestion."
While the three of them were silent, Zhangsun Wuji was the first to speak. He looked at Li Jing and Wei Zheng and said, "Duke Wei, Prime Minister Wei, we've surrounded Rouyuan County and intend to take it down."
"But these few days, we've made a mistake, which is to only focus on Rouyuan County. Du Qi's troops are mainly gathered in the county. In fact, Yiwu County and Nashi County behind him can't have so many troops. It can even be said that their rear is empty and their troops are far from enough. "
"Now, we can completely surround Rouyuan County and send a portion of our troops to Yiwu County. This Yiwu County is the administrative center of Yi State. If we take over Yiwu County, Rou Yuan County will become an isolated city. "
"Of course, the people guarding the county won't just sit by and do nothing. They'll definitely send troops to rescue them. This is precisely our opportunity. At that time, not only will we be able to take down Rou Yuan County, we will also be able to defeat them one by one. "
Zhangsun Wuji suggested a plan.
Wei Zheng said, "What Duke of Qi means is that we are only pretending to divide our forces, but in fact, we are luring the troops stationed in Rouyuan County to come out, so that we can defeat them one by one."
Zhangsun Wuji shook his head and said, "It's not a feint, it's a real attack. I've carefully studied the topography of Rou Yuan County. We can attack from the north of Rou Yuan County, from the direction of Sang Qiu Mountain, and then take a detour to Yiwu County. Although this official road will take some detours, we can still reach it. "
Wei Zheng said, "I've checked the terrain of this area as well. However, this road might be guarded by Xia Xia's troops. They won't let us pass easily. "
Zhangsun Wuji said, "It doesn't matter even if they have someone guarding them. We can just attack directly. This force will drive straight in, and take down Yiwu County before they can react. "
"At that time, the troops stationed in the county will be worried about the situation, so they can only hurry on their way and retreat through the normal official road. We will send a portion of our troops to chase after them and annihilate them. "
After he finished speaking, Zhangsun Wuji looked at Li Jing and said, "Duke Wei, what do you think?"
Li Jing stroked his beard and continued, "This plan is naturally not bad. However, there are still many loopholes, because it's easy for variables to appear. "
Zhangsun Wuji said, "Where are the variables?"
Li Jing replied, "First, if there are checkpoints set up by Xia Xia's troops along the way from Sang Qiu Mountain, they will be attacked by Xia Xia's troops. If they also have weapons here in Rou Yuan County, they will definitely be blocked, and it won't be easy to attack. "
"Second, we know about Du Qi's grenades and landmines. No matter if we take the front line of Sang Qiu Mountain, or when the troops in Rou Yuan County want to retreat, we send troops to chase after them, but they set up landmines on the official road to stop us. At that time, we will also be blocked, and it won't be easy for us to attack. "
Li Jing said, "Just these two points alone are a huge problem."
Zhangsun Wuji sighed and said, "This is something that can't be helped, but it's actually not difficult to think of it from another perspective. We have cavalry in our army. When the time comes, let the cavalry dismount and send a portion of their warhorses to open the way. This is the only way now. Only in this way can we break the influence of the landmines. "
Li Jing nodded and said, "That's not bad. Although we can lose a portion of our warhorses, we can still open the way.
A glint flashed across Zhangsun Wuji's eyes, and he continued, "In fact, there is another advantage. That is, after a portion of Rou Yuan County's troops are sent out, it will be easier for us to attack Rou Yuan County. It should be because our troops have surrounded the entire city. When the time comes, we will attack from all sides, and the troops stationed in the city might not be able to stop us. "
Li Jing said, "That's what I mean."
Zhangsun Wuji smiled and said, "Duke Wei, you agree with my plan?"
"I agree!"
Li Jing replied with a smile.
In fact, in Li Jing's heart, he actually thought that Zhangsun Wuji and Li Shimin had already discussed this. It was just a formality for him to appear.
Li Jing did not point it out.
Zhangsun Wuji looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Prime Minister Wei, what do you think?"
Wei Zheng said, "I also agree."
Zhangsun Wuji's face was instantly filled with excitement as he said, "Good, good, good. Since the two of you have agreed, then let's go. Since both of you have agreed, then the following matter will be easy to arrange. Let's go to His Majesty's tent and discuss with him. Then, we will gather the generals in the army again and arrange things. "
Li Jing and Wei Zheng naturally agreed together.
Zhangsun Wuji had arranged everything properly, so the two naturally could not reject and directly chose to agree.
The three of them stood up and left. Braving the wind and snow, they went straight to Li Shimin's tent for an audience. After the three of them bowed, Zhangsun Wuji took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, after discussing with Duke Wei and Prime Minister Wei, we have already decided on a plan to break Rou Yuan County. This time, we will definitely win. "
When Li Shimin heard this, he became excited and asked, "Auxiliary machine, how do we arrange this?"
Zhangsun Wuji immediately started to explain his entire plan in detail. In the end, he said, "Duke Wei and Prime Minister Wei both agreed and agreed with my suggestion."
However, Li Shimin asked again, "Both of you agreed?"
"Agreed!"
Li Jing and Wei Zheng replied together.
At this point, the two of them naturally agreed and could not reject it.
Li Shimin immediately smiled happily. He could now fight again. Because this battle was related to the future of the Tang dynasty, Li Shimin had to fight and could not retreat so hastily.
