"General Zhao is wrong in what he said. The angel decreed that the place where the King of Hanzhong settled was only Yizhou, not the northwest. This place was Licheng, which was under the jurisdiction of Tianshui County in Liangzhou. In fact, it had nothing to do with the King of Hanzhong.
General Zhao is also asked to think twice and retreat in time."
When Xu Chengshou of Licheng saw Zhao Yun take out the legendary Nine-Xi Jianlong Whip, he couldn't help but was stunned for a moment. After he realized what he was doing, he immediately shouted out!
"The defender of Xucheng is mistaken. The place where our lord, the King of Hanzhong, settled is indeed in the northwest. This is known to everyone. Think about it, when my lord was the Marquis of Hanzhong before, he used to live in Yizhou, and now he has been granted the title of "Yizhou".
King, how can it be possible that the land of the city remains unchanged! It is so obvious, what is there to doubt? If you are wise, rush to the city to greet us, otherwise it will be too late when the two sides fight against each other!"
Zhao Yun shouted loudly and matter-of-factly. Although before the expedition, Xie Ying gave Zhao Yun the Nine-Xi Jianlong Whip as an order arrow, but it was mainly to allow Zhao Yun to better command and control the Yizhou Army, while Xie Ying Army was
As soon as the news of being crowned the King of Hanzhong came back, Jushou, the military advisor who accompanied the army, immediately came up with a plan. Anyway, the Jiuxi Admonition Dragon Whip was in Zhao Yun's hands, and he could just use the evil shadow to capture the cities of Liangzhou without any bloodshed.
, even using this as an excuse can greatly save the hearts and minds of the civilians in Liangzhou cities and improve the enemy's morale. After all, the names of recovery and aggression have obviously different meanings among armies and civilians, and everyone knows this!
This time, the army sent troops to Liangzhou, and after joining Zhang Liao's army at Wudu City in Wudu County, they set out from Xihe and entered Tianshui County, Liangzhou, striving to seize the huge city of Tianshui. They then wanted to use Tianshui County as a springboard to radiate their plans to Liangzhou in three directions.
! And because Xihe originally belonged to the territory of Wudu County in Yizhou, although it was occupied by the Xiliang army before. But now after the Xiliang army retreated and Yizhou County arrived, the city guard still readily surrendered to the city.
With the size of the small city, it is normal for him to surrender under the iron heel of the Xiliang army. It would be really strange if he really resisted the Xiliang army! So Zhao Yun did not deal with the city guard. However, he took the city
The guard was demoted to the city magistrate, and Gao Lan was granted the title of city guard, responsible for guarding Xihe. After all, Xihe is the military capital just beyond it, and although Xihe is only a small town, its strategic location is extremely important. If Zhao Yun leads his army to conquer various places, and Xihe
If He Xiaocheng is captured, the retreat will be cut off. As a result, not only will the army within Yizhou be unable to reinforce or communicate in time, but most importantly, the logistics path will be lost, with serious consequences.
"In that case, does General Zhao have the Celestial Document Seal?"
I don't know whether he was persuaded by Zhao Yun's reasons or gave in to Zhao Yun's threats. Xu Chengshou thought for a while and suddenly shouted loudly!
"Here is the clerical seal! The holder of the Nine-Xi Admonition Dragon Whip has the privilege of not participating in the upper hall and not refusing in the lower hall. He can defeat the emperor at the top and slander the ministers at the bottom. Seeing the whip is like seeing the emperor. Why did Xu Chengshou do this?
?Contempting the emperor. Those who violate the power of heaven are punishable by annihilation. Xu Chengshou should think deeply and be cautious. Even if he does not think about himself, he must also think about the soldiers under his command!"
Zhao Yun waved the Nine-Xi Admonition Dragon Whip again and replied loudly.
"General Zhao is joking. As we all know, the Nine-Xi Remonstrance Dragon Whip is only effective against foolish kings and greedy ministers, but it cannot seize the city! Moreover, I am old and dim, and the distance is so far that I really can't see what General Zhao is holding.
If General Zhao does not have official documents and seals, it is better to withdraw his troops immediately! Waging war rashly is an act of rebellion. It is a grave crime to punish the nine tribes!"
Seeing that Zhao Yun was still holding the Jiuxi Dragon Whip as a shield. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that Zhao Yun was just looking for an excuse to seize the city. He was a typical "want to be a prostitute and also want to build an archway." Xu Chengshou was no longer polite, but was polite.
Shout!
"Since Mr. Xu Cheng's eyesight is dim and he can't see clearly from a distance, why don't we go down to the city to conduct an appraisal, or we can conduct an appraisal in person!"
Regarding Xu Chengshou, an old man who was as shrewd as a ghost and acted like a fool, Zhao Yun couldn't help but secretly get angry, and shouted loudly with a cold tone!
"That's very good! However, I would like to ask General Zhao to retreat first. He has to mobilize troops and mobilize troops with ulterior motives. His intentions are frightening!"
Xu Chengshou said loudly and honestly, his loud voice seemed to contain sarcasm and disdain. Considering that Xu Chengshou had been a city guard for decades, and Zhao Yun was just a pair of nine-year-olds now, Xu Chengshou naturally didn't
Take it seriously!
"Marshal, there is no need to argue with this old fox anymore. Looking at his attitude, it is impossible to open the city gate. It is better to directly launch an army to attack the city!"
Seeing Zhao Yun's face turned red and white because of Xu Chengshou's anger, Ju Shou suddenly said!
"But my lord has ordered that in the Liangzhou battle, no forceful attack is allowed unless necessary. The city gained by force attack will also be damaged at least ten times, and it is really not worth the loss! Besides, Licheng, like Xihe City, is the only way for our army's logistics to pass.
If we attack the resting place by force, the consequences will be unpredictable, so it is not the best strategy!"
Hearing what Jushou said, Zhao Yun also knew that it was impossible to transfer to Licheng, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense to Xu Chengshou.^^ However, he still said hesitantly and troubledly. Xihe City originally belonged to Yizhou, so it didn't count.
According to the record of the Northern Expedition, the battle at Licheng was the first battle out of Yizhou in the west, and it was also the first battle that Zhao Yun led alone. In addition, Zhao Yun himself is more inclined to perfectionism, so he naturally wants to conduct his maiden battle perfectly, so that he can win the next one.
It’s better not to have a dilapidated city!
"That's a good thing to say! But the current situation is not up to us. Looking at the situation in Licheng, we won't open the city and surrender at all. In this way, there are three ways to capture the city. First, use powerful siege equipment to smash it.
The city of Li was smashed into ruins, which can be considered self-defeating, but as the marshal said, it is just a ruined city; secondly, driving a large number of troops to attack by force can minimize the damage to the city, but our army
The casualties will be greatly increased; thirdly, Licheng is close to Panshui, and our army can dig tunnels and divert water to flood the city. In this way, Licheng will be destroyed without attack. The city will not be damaged, and our army will not be damaged, but it will be an empty city.
That’s it! According to the marshal’s conditions, only the third plan is feasible!”
Jushou frowned and said slowly, as a military advisor, military strategy is his responsibility. But Zhao Yun wanted to capture Licheng, but he didn't want to lose too many troops, and he didn't want to see Licheng suffer heavy losses. He was completely making things difficult for others.
Ah, how can such a good thing happen in wars since ancient times? The only way is to persuade them to surrender. But according to intelligence investigations, Xu Chengshou has been serving as the guard of Licheng City for decades. Now Yizhou County has just gone on an expedition and has no results. I think
It’s a bit difficult to persuade someone to surrender!
"Diversion of water into the city will harm the peace of the world and is really an unwise choice!"
Hearing what Ju Shuo said, Zhao Yun couldn't help but shook his head and refused. If it was the evil shadow, it would be possible for him to implement Ju Shuo's plan. For Zhao Yun to implement it, it would be no less difficult than letting Zhao Yun capture Licheng alone...
"So let's do the first and second plan together! Use appropriate siege equipment to suppress the city wall defenders, and then supplement it with troops to attack the city. Try to combine the advantages of the two!"
Hearing what Zhao Yun said, Jushou was completely speechless and stopped making any sound. The atmosphere was silent for a while, and finally Zhao Yun spoke up!
"yes!"
Everyone responded in unison, because Licheng was the first stop of the northern expedition to Liangzhou, so except for Gao Lan who was guarding Xihe City, the rest of the people who accompanied the army in the northern expedition were there. The generals were Zhang Liao and Gan Ning; the fierce generals were Dihe,
Xi Zhi, Mao Dun Ya Ying, Mo Xuan, Niu Tie, Jiuling, Kua Tong, Kuang Meng, a total of four witches, four demons, and eight powerful generals. Let’s not mention the other generals at all levels for now!
"In this way, each will lead an army to attack the city, surround three and fight one. I hope the Licheng army can abandon the city and flee!"
Seeing that the generals were waiting for orders, Zhao Yun answered the question. After a pause, he suddenly looked at Zhang Liao who was thinking deeply and asked:
"Wenyuan, what do you think about the siege strategy?"
"Marshal, you are so humble! Licheng is such a small city, and it is natural for the marshal to command the siege! There is no need to be humble and talk too much!"
Hearing Zhao Yun's sudden question, Zhang Liao couldn't help but froze for a moment, clasped his fists and blurted out like a reflex! Zhang Liao never expected that Zhao Yun would ask him how to attack the city. After all, although Zhao Yun was young, he was also a handsome soldier. What he lacked was his lack of experience and experience.
That's all. According to Zhang Liao's own estimation, Xie Ying asked Zhao Yun to take command of this northern expedition to Liangzhou, and he also wanted to train him. Therefore, Zhang Liao just followed the instructions silently and rarely expressed any opinions when the army came all the way north. In addition,
Zhao Yun has been following his lord Xie Ying on his expeditions all year round. He has experienced countless battles, big and small, and is considered a fairly experienced general. Dealing with a central city seems to be just a small problem. The only difference is how to achieve the greatest success with the least loss!
"Wen Yuan is too rude to say this! We are brothers, and I know Wen Yuan's talents best. Besides, before this expedition, my lord also told me that during the northern expedition, we should pay more attention to Wen Yuan in terms of marching strategy.
If you ask for advice from Yuan, Wenyuan doesn’t have to be polite and humble!”
Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Liao angrily and said, feeling very angry that Zhang Liao followed him in such a hypocritical and polite manner!
"The state has its own laws, and every family has its own rules! In the army, the army speaks, but since the marshal asked, he told the truth what he was thinking!"
Seeing Zhao Yun like this, Zhang Liao couldn't help but smile knowingly. He still valued Zhao Yun, who was upright and loyal, so he said slowly, paused, and then slowly continued after everyone's attention was focused on him.
:
"I think it's a humble job, so I won't attack!"
"No attack?"
"No attack..."
As soon as Zhang Liao finished speaking, several evil shadow generals couldn't help but blurt out in confusion and confusion! I don't know what Zhang Liao meant by "not attacking". Do they agree with the third plan mentioned by Ju Shu... to divert water to flood the city?
"No attack? Do you mean to bypass Licheng and ignore it?"
After all, Jushou was the military advisor accompanying the army, and his reaction was relatively quick. He immediately reacted, looked at Zhang Liao and asked!
