"Although He Man has 50,000 troops, his origins are all remnants of the Yellow Turbans. Although they have been on the battlefield, they are only good at fighting against the wind. If something goes wrong, the bandits from all walks of life may immediately think of preserving their strength...
"
After Military Advisor Guo Jia finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but shout in unison.
It is well-founded and analyzes He Man's team to the core.
If defeating the enemy is not difficult, what is difficult is how to eat these 50,000 horses. After all, even 50,000 pigs will take a while to catch.
"Report, Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan are asking for an audience..."
Liu Qi, who was above him, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the guard's report. Now that Fancheng was facing a formidable enemy, Feng Chu had come back at the right time.
"Shi Yuan pays homage to the lord."
Covered in travel dust and dressed in rags, Pang Tong was originally pitch black and looked more like black coal, with only two bright eyes.
Liu Qi hurriedly walked down from the top without showing any disgust at the dirty Pang Tong.
"Shi Yuan, get up quickly."
Liu Qi dusted off Pang Tong's body. This move moved everyone, and Pang Tong blushed with excitement.
With this name, you will have no regrets in your life!
"Shi Yuan, let me introduce you to my colleagues first..."
Needless to say, Xu Shu and Pang Tong were brothers, and Guo Jia and Pang Tong had known each other for a long time.
After everyone introduced each other, Liu Qi handed the note to Pang Tong.
"My lord, on the way back, Shi Yuan discovered a large group of people marching, seemingly heading towards Fancheng, so we returned on a starry night and luckily we caught up."
There was a hint of excitement in Pang Tong's little eyes. With 50,000 troops, this was definitely a big deal.
"You can send people to persuade He Man and other bandit leaders to surrender. At the same time, you must be prepared for a war. Feng Xiao's proposal is to win the approval of these 50,000 men."
"Okay, in that case, Mr. Mao immediately arranges for Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao to persuade them to surrender."
Now that everyone's opinions were unified, Liu Qi began to give orders.
At the same time, I was also excited in my heart. If it was a small fight before, this time it was a real fight.
Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and the big-eared thief Liu Bei have all participated in large-scale battles and have rich experience. Only he is still a novice in this aspect.
At this time, Liu Qi had already determined his goal. If he wanted to survive in the Three Kingdoms, he had to defeat his opponents.
"Lord, look."
As Pang Tong took out a map and unfolded it, it was the whole picture around Fancheng.
Mountains, rivers, mountains and jungles are all clearly marked.
Seeing how accurately the map was drawn, Xu Shu and others also admired it.
You must know that the previous maps were just shoddy and inaccurate in many places.
If wartime comes, the opportunity is fleeting, and even a small mistake can lead to total loss.
It can be said that this map has solved a big problem, no less than 100,000 elite soldiers.
"Shi Yuan made a great contribution..."
Liu Qi touched the map and said excitedly.
"Lord, look, this is Teng County. My subordinates have secretly observed He Man's team. Because the infantry accounts for the majority, the marching speed is not very fast. It only covers about fifty or sixty miles per day. According to this calculation, the fastest is the fastest.
It takes five days to reach Fancheng."
Pang Tong introduced the situation observed on the road. As for the two or three thousand cavalry, they did not break away from the main force.
Because the enemy leader He Man also knew that the cavalry attacking the city was just bringing food, and would only become a living target for the archers.
"So now we have two choices, one is to set up an ambush outside the city, and the other is to gather together to defend the city."
Pang Tong quickly formulated a general battle plan.
Guo Jia and Xu Shu nodded. They both knew that this junior brother liked to show off, but he also had great talents.
When fighting outside the city, he still relied on Fancheng to snipe enemy soldiers, Liu Qi was also thinking secretly in his heart.
This is a large-scale battle. Fancheng finally has some foundations, but it cannot be wiped out.
"Yuan Zhi, tell me what you think?"
Liu Qi asked shamelessly, not pretending to understand because he was the lord.
"I tell my lord, fighting outside the city can save Fancheng from the devastation of war. He Man has many generals, but I'm afraid they are not the enemies of Commander Huang and Commander Zhao combined."
"If you make a strong effort, then it will weaken again, and then it will be exhausted. He Man's military morale will be shaken. Our army can set up several ambushes..."
It's a good strategy, but Fancheng's army is half the enemy's. If we divide our forces into an ambush...
Liu Qi thought of this and looked at the military advisor Guo Jia. That means you should stop shaking your fan. If you have any clever ideas, please tell me immediately.
"Lord, if it is a city defense battle, Fancheng City is high and strong, with sharp weapons and sufficient food and grass. Although the enemy troops are large in number, they are both good and bad. Once the casualties are too large, He Man will be willing to retreat. At that time, our army is in
Take advantage of the victory and pursue it..."
After hearing what Guo Jia said, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others also nodded in approval.
"Hold the grass!"
Seeing all his subordinates agreeing, Liu Qi cursed secretly in his heart.
All three of his subordinates spoke clearly and logically, and each of them was humble and courteous. Should he defend or take the initiative to attack?
Originally, Liu Qi wanted to ask the two commanders Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun for their opinions, but seeing this situation, he decided not to ask, just in case he came up with a third plan.
"Then go out of the city and fight. Pang Tong will obey orders."
Liu Qi gave an order and Fancheng started running at high speed.
At this time, there was a burst of laughter in General Cai Mao's mansion.
It was General Cai Mao. Someone suddenly came to visit a while ago, and it was Qian Bojun, the military advisor of Jigong Mountain.
Isn't this the remnant of the Yellow Turbans? When Cai Mao wanted the guards to capture it immediately, he was stopped by military advisor Xu Ji.
"My lord, why don't you listen to what this bandit has to say before taking it down?"
He Man, the remnant of the Yellow Turbans on Jigong Mountain, is quite powerful, although it is nothing in the eyes of the Jizhou Mufu.
But they have never interacted with each other. This time, they even sent military advisors from the mountain. It must be that something big is about to happen.
Cai Mao naturally obeyed the advice of military advisor Xu Ji and let the guards in.
"What? Borrowing a way?"
Qian Bojun presented the generous gift and told the purpose of his visit with a smile.
Cai Mao, who was still sitting on the Taishi's chair, suddenly stood up.
"General Cai, my village leader has always kept a distance from the Jizhou Mufu and did not dare to offend him in the slightest. But Liu Qi's son killed He Yi, the village leader's good brother..."
"After the destruction of Fancheng, the leader of my village said that he is willing to split the property 50-50 with the general..."
Qian Bojun was truly a figure, and he had already investigated clearly the relationship in the Jizhou Mufu, which was that the eldest son Liu Qi was at odds with Cai Mao.
Moreover, Cai Mao hated Liu Qi even more deeply, so the attempt to borrow a way was bound to happen.
That's why He Man's army from Jigong Mountain went to Fancheng unscrupulously.
"Military advisor, the reconnaissance scouts have not reported back for several days. I am afraid that Fancheng has already been prepared. It seems that we can only attack openly."
Although He Man looks like a rough old man, there is something subtle in his roughness, otherwise he would not have lived such a long life.
