After Wang Can led the army to Wancheng, he did not attack the city overnight. After all, the soldiers were rushing all the way, and their physical and mental strength could not support them, and the effect of a forced siege was not good, so the army camped outside the city and rested for a day. At the same time, Wang Can
Can can also take this opportunity to discuss strategies to deal with Liu Bei and consider how to defeat Liu Bei?
Wang Can's eyes fell on Zhang Xiu and asked: "Bo Ming, tell me about the current situation in Wancheng?"
In the past, Wang Can and Zhang Xiu got along for a while and understood Zhang Xiu's temperament.
Therefore, Wang Can didn't say anything to comfort him, and everything seemed to take its course. It was such straightforward words that made Zhang Xiu's tense heart relax, and he was no longer as nervous as before.
Zhang Xiu followed Lu Meng and others to visit Wang Can, and then Wang Can led everyone to set up camp.
Zhang Xiu thought about many scenarios in his mind, wondering what Wang Can would say?
But when they actually talked face to face, Wang Can bypassed those redundant clichés and relieved Zhang Xiu of the pressure. Just as Wang Can directly asked about Wancheng's situation, this already recognized Zhang Xiu.
In one sentence, Zhang Xiu's psychological burden was relieved.
Zhang Xiu looked serious, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, the last general and Zhang Ren will stay in Wancheng. According to the development trend of Liu Bei's attack yesterday, Wancheng will not be breached within five days. However, the situation changed suddenly today, and Liu Bei's subordinates
The Han army was so crazy that they broke open the gate of Wancheng. Due to the sudden incident, we left in a hurry, leaving all the food, baggage and other items in the city in the city. Liu Bei got the food, grass and baggage of Wancheng, plus
His own food is enough to last a month."
Wang Can looked at the crowd and said, "Wancheng is right in front of you. Tell us what you think!"
Zhang Liao said: "My lord, the general thinks that Liu Bei has enough food, but we also have enough time. In that case, why not send troops to surround Wancheng and let Liu Bei guard an isolated city?"
Zhou Cang immediately said: "Wenyuan, what should we do if Liu Bei's reinforcements come?"
Zhang Liao said with a smile: "General Zhou, it will be better if Liu Bei's reinforcements come. We are waiting for work, and we can wipe out all Liu Bei's reinforcements. This will not only weaken Runan's troops, but also further attack Liu Bei. We surround Wancheng and cut off
Without Liu Bei's contact with the outside world, it is impossible for him to know when reinforcements will come, this is our opportunity!"
Zhang Liao's suggestion was to trap Liu Bei in Wancheng, then destroy Liu Bei's reinforcements first, and then kill Liu Bei. This method is feasible, but it takes too long.
Wang Can shook his head and said: "Although the strategy is feasible, it will take too long and we can't afford to wait!"
Guo Jia said: "My Lord, Wancheng is actually just an isolated city."
Wang Can asked: "Fengxiao, please tell me carefully."
Guo Jia said slowly: "According to the news reported by the scouts, we already know the reason why the Han army madly attacked Wancheng, that is, Liu Bei promised to let all Han soldiers plunder Wancheng. Although this effect is good, it can be immediately
It aroused the desire of the Han soldiers to fight, but for Liu Bei, it was undoubtedly his own destruction by drinking poison to quench his thirst."
"In this battle, I think Liu Bei will definitely lose!"
"There are three reasons for this!"
"First, Liu Bei lost his people, because if Liu Bei wanted to defend Wancheng, he must have the support of the people, but the soldiers under Liu Bei harmed the people and disrupted the order of Wancheng, causing Liu Bei to lose the support of the people and the morale of the army. The people
If Liu Bei does not help Liu Bei and the soldiers do not obey orders, it will be very difficult for Liu Bei to defend Wancheng."
"The second reason is that Liu Bei has no weather. Now it's autumn and the weather is getting colder. Liu Bei is sitting in a lonely city without a steady stream of supplies. The soldiers lack cold clothes, which will also lead to weakened strength."
"The third reason is that Liu Bei did not occupy the geographical advantage. On the surface, Liu Bei occupied Wancheng and guarded a strong city, which had geographical advantages. However, when Wancheng was attacked by Liu Bei, it suffered heavy losses. It was devastated and the city walls were damaged. Even if Liu Bei could send troops
Repair, but the time is too short, Liu Bei cannot repair Wancheng."
"To sum up, Liu Bei does not have the right time, location, and people, so he will definitely lose." Guo Jia talked eloquently and said loudly: "I believe that in just two days, Liu Bei's army will definitely be in chaos and its morale will be shattered.
When we take advantage of the situation to attack the city, we will definitely be able to capture Wancheng in one fell swoop. And if we surround Wancheng, Liu Bei will definitely be unable to escape."
Guo Jia's words are very resounding.
After Zhang Xiu heard this, his color changed with horror, and the clothes on his back were all wet.
He used to think that he was very powerful, and he thought that his uncle Zhang Ji was also very powerful. However, now Zhang Xiu listened to Guo Jia analyzing the situation in Wancheng bit by bit, and easily decided on the policy of attacking Wancheng. He was both impressed and impressed.
In awe. He also thought that Li Ru and Jia Xu were also working under Wang Can, and suddenly felt that he was like a reckless man who only knew how to be brave and fierce.
At this time, Zhang Xiu felt that it was not shameful to submit to Wang Can.
Some people will definitely succeed.
Some people are destined to fail.
Just like him and Wang Can, he only works hard alone, but Wang Can works hard as a team. There are no specialized talents under Zhang Xiu to be responsible for logistics, no special counselors to make suggestions, and no warriors to fight in battle.
Wang Can has countless talented people under his command. Some are responsible for rear operations, some are fighting on the battlefield, and some are making plans. These are the real princes.
Zhang Xiu was thinking in his mind, and his straight waist unconsciously leaned forward slightly, no longer as arrogant as before.
He was completely convinced by Wang Can.
At this time, Zhang Xiu considered matters completely as a subordinate, and all the pride in his heart was lost.
Wang Can didn't notice Zhang Xiu's change. He was thinking about the matter in Wancheng. After a while, Wang Can looked at Lu Meng and ordered: "Amen, tonight, you send soldiers from Langya Camp quietly
Go to the gate of Wancheng and check the gate of Wancheng to see if you can blow it open with gunpowder."
Lu Meng shook his head and said: "My lord, I'm afraid not!"
Wang Can immediately asked: "Why?"
Lu Meng replied: "I fought with Liu Bei's Shu army and observed the situation in Wancheng. Wancheng is an important place connecting Jingzhou and Luoyang to the north and south. Its geographical location is very important. It is for this reason that Wancheng's city is strong.
The city gate is thick, and both gates are made of steel, making it difficult to blow them apart. Even though the city gate was attacked by Liu Bei's Han army during the day and was somewhat damaged, the gunpowder was still not strong enough to blow open the city gate."
After Wang Can heard this, his face showed a solemn look.
If gunpowder is used to blow open the city gate, a lot of things will definitely be reduced.
But the gunpowder is not powerful enough, and there is nothing you can do if it cannot explode.
After a moment of silence, Wang Can said: "In that case, we will adopt the strategy proposed by Feng Xiao. We will wait for two days for the Han army's morale to be shattered before we begin to attack the city!"
At this time, Zhang Xiu spoke up and said: "My lord, I have thought of a way to break the city."
Wang Can hurriedly asked: "If Bo Ming has any ideas, please tell me!"
Zhang Xiu said: "When I was in charge of Wancheng, I discovered that there was an underground passage under the city. It is said that this passage connects the inside and outside of the city, and the underground passage into the city is near Wancheng."
Wang Can smiled and said: "Bo Ming, if there is such a way, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Zhang Xiu smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, although the general knows that there is such an underground passage, he has not sent soldiers to walk through it yet, so he does not know the specific situation."
Wang Can waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, let's send a few people to give it a try first!"
Zhang Liao immediately stood up, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, I am willing to give it a try!"
Zhang Xiu said: "This is what the general proposed, so it is natural to go."
Lu Meng followed and said: "My lord, the last general is also going."
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ren, Zhou Cang, Huang Xu and others all asked for a fight, preparing to inquire first to see if the underground passage connecting the inside and outside of Wancheng was open.
Wang Can glanced at everyone and said, "This is to explore the road. Why are there so many people here? Bo Ming knew the situation, so he let Bo Ming lead the way, and then Lu Meng and Zhang Ren led the soldiers to explore the road. This happened all night long
Go ahead and do it. I want to know the specific situation early tomorrow morning. You should go and come back early."
"I will obey my orders!"
Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ren and Lu Meng nodded in agreement, with expressions of excitement on their faces.
