Xi Zhicai's strategy is not too fancy, but it seems a bit old-fashioned when explained in detail.
But the chief designer once said that it doesn’t matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.
Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether the strategy is old-fashioned or not. The key is whether it is effective or not.
Lin Feng frowned and chewed his teeth and asked: "Zhicai, are you sure this plan is feasible? Why do I feel that it is a bit unreliable?"
Xi Zhicai easily crossed his legs and sipped the hot tea and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Fengxiao must have marched into Yanmen as promised by now. Ding Jianyang will be attacked from the north and south at the same time. There will definitely be chaos and ineffective command. I
It was precisely through inferences that we decided on this plan to take advantage of the situation."
"Okay, then I will act according to Zhicai's plan tomorrow. My brain has never been as smart as those of you who play strategists."
Lin Feng's self-deprecating answer made Xi Zhicai laugh heartily.
Only when you have been with Lin Feng for a long time will you realize that the vague power of affinity in him is not like those unparalleled heroes or peerless heroes in historical classics who are so deep and intangible in their emotions and anger.
Performance.
It is said that a person like Lin Feng, who has all his emotions on the surface and behaves almost as if he is transparent, will give his subordinates an insecure feeling of being unstable and unreliable.
But all those who follow Lin Feng will gradually find that they will be unknowingly influenced by Lin Feng. Today's Pingyuan Group is more like a harmonious big family, and everyone voluntarily contributes to the strengthening of this group.
.
Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and Guo Jia have discussed this weird phenomenon in private countless times, but they still can't figure out why it develops like this. Even they themselves have been quietly assimilated by Lin Feng and become more and more alienated.
Don't leave Lin Feng's side.
Perhaps this is the inherent charisma of some great beings.
In the end, the few of them could only choose this extremely idealistic answer.
Among the three cities of Qixian, Jingling, and Zhongdu, headed by Jingling City, the city lord Wang Siji was also a Yellow Turban thief, but he was not a general in the White Wave Army, but a member of the original Jizhou Yellow Turbans.
During the battle with the government troops, Wang Siji's team was broken up. He led hundreds of brothers to flee in panic. With no choice of escape route, they fled into Bingzhou territory in one breath.
He hid near Zhaoyuze for a period of time. Later, when he saw that the official army was defeated in succession and the power of the Yellow Turban Army increased greatly, Wang Siji was ready to move again. Yu Zhaoyuze once again raised a rebellion flag, pretending to be inspired by God, and organized thousands of people.
The refugees captured Jingling City and used it as a stronghold. They were named the Yellow Turban Canal Commander.
Unfortunately, Wang Siji's success did not last long before he was surrounded by Ding Yuan's general Zhang Yang and his army in Jingling City.
Finally, as a last resort, Wang Siji Kaicheng surrendered and joined the ranks of Bingzhou officers and soldiers.
Fortunately, because Lin Feng took advantage of Han Ling Emperor's power,
Ding Yuan was forced to expand his army by transferring troops from Lieutenant General Lu Bu of the Bingzhou Army.
Wang Siji took the opportunity to recruit a large number of refugees again, and thus took the position of guard of Jingling City.
Ever since he learned that Yang Feng had surrendered to Lin Feng and presented himself to Shangdang County, Wang Siji knew that the flames of war would soon reach the gates of Jingling City.
In order to keep his current wealth and fame, Wang Siji risked everything.
It's not like he never thought of learning from Yang Feng and led his entire army to surrender to Lin Feng.
However, there are several difficulties that cannot be solved.
First of all, he is different from Yang Feng. Yang Feng is the governor of Shangdang. Yang Feng has the final say in all counties. He will surrender if he says it. No one around him dares to say anything. What kind of thing is Wang Siji? What can he do in the city of Jingling?
After all, he really can't command the other two cities.
Secondly, Wang Siji has changed his owners several times. If Lin Feng is demoted again, he may not end well in the future based on just one capricious evaluation.
The third and most important point is that in order to prevent Taiyuan County from repeating the mistakes of Shangdang County, Ding Yuan ordered all the city guards in Taiyuan County in the past two or three days to solve the worries of the generals and order the governors of all the cities in Taiyuan County to send their wives, children, children and children to their homes as soon as possible.
He was quickly sent to Jinyang City, claiming to be a protector but actually a hostage.
Wang Siji is a cruel guy. When his own father and mother passed away, he never shed a tear. However, such an uncooked and soft thing is so caring for his own children that he holds it in his hands all day long.
He dropped it, put it on his head for fear of flying, and held it in his mouth for fear of melting. He had four sons and two daughters, and all of them were his treasures, including his eldest son who was married.
What if Lin Feng surrendered before the battle and his wife and children were sent to Jinyang?
It doesn't matter if his wife dies. There are plenty of beautiful women in the world. As long as they have power, they can marry them later. But if a few like-minded children lose a hair and break their skin, Wang Siji cannot bear the pain.
, how could it possibly give Ding Jianyang an excuse to kill them openly?
Therefore, Wang Siji risked everything he had in order to defend Jingling City.
The money and food from the family were spilled out like water. Not only did the soldiers under his command have their military pay doubled, but even the ordinary people in Jingling City, Wang Siji, were not stingy at all. As long as they were willing to help him defend the city and work hard to defend the city,
Payments must be paid in full and on time, and will never be in arrears.
It is precisely because of Wang Siji's willingness to spare no expense that the city of Jingling is in full swing. Even the three- and four-year-old children with runny noses know that the bad guy is coming. Everyone works together to defeat the bad guy and drive away the bad guy, Mr. Wang.
meal.
The atmosphere of defending the city in Jingling City unknowingly infected Qixian County and Zhongdu City. In these two counties, there was also a great craze for defending the city and protecting the family. Not only the morale of the Bingzhou Army in the city soared, but also the people in the city.
They swore to fight against the same enemy and live and die together with the city.
Under such circumstances, Lin Feng led his army around Sheep Head Mountain and arrived ten miles away from Sanlian City, where he ordered the three armies to set up
Got the camp.
At the same time, Wen Chou and Gao Lan also led the Baishui Battalion across the border between Taiyuan and Shangdang counties, marched out of Zhan County, and advanced to Yangyi City, preparing to attack the city.
When he received the battle report from Baishui Camp, Lin Feng had just led his army to Sanlian City, and his tent had not yet been set up.
Leaning on Hu Leibao, Lin Feng unfolded the letter and read through Wen Chou's letter, then raised his hand and waved the letter to Xi Zhicai, who was still warming himself in the carriage.
"Zhicai, Uncle Wen and his Baishui battalion are about to arrive at Yangyi City. The marching speed is roughly the same as our army."
Xi Zhi in the carriage raised the curtains to reveal his face, and said to Lin Feng with a smile: "General Wen Chou has always been as famous as General Yan Liang, but in the two battles of Jizhou and Youzhou, General Wen Chou was unable to participate in the battle because he had to guard Yecheng.
I can only watch Yan Liang attack the city and make many military exploits. I have already been holding back my energy. Now that I finally have a battle to fight, I will definitely use all my strength. I am afraid that the defenders of Yangyi City will suffer a big disaster.
"
Lin Feng and Xi Zhicai smiled at each other. The generals under their command were delighted when they heard about the war, and they would fight first. This was a sign of great prosperity in the world. How could they not be so happy from the bottom of their hearts?
Commanding the army to set up camp according to the Erlong water formation that is most conducive to the attack, the three armies completed their respective plans and began to bury pots and make rice.
Not far from Sanlian City, smoke and noises could be seen everywhere. It was obvious that Lin Jun did not pay attention to the Bingzhou Army in Sanlian City.
Wang Siji stood on the city gate tower, built a pergola with his hands and stood on tiptoe to look out of the city.
Lin Feng's army had at least 20,000 soldiers and horses, and most of them were cavalry. Only at the end of the camp could one vaguely observe groups of infantry. However, these infantry were in ragged uniforms and had low morale. It was obvious that most of them were follow-up soldiers.
The original Shangdang regiment to which Yang Feng surrendered was not Lin Feng's direct army.
Seeing this, Wang Siji's mind suddenly changed.
The majority of Lin Feng's troops are cavalry, which is not conducive to the ensuing siege battle. Presumably, when Lin Feng's army begins, he will definitely send or drive out the former Shangdang soldiers as siege vanguards. Can we make a fuss about this point?
Woolen cloth?
Thinking of this, Wang Siji quietly called two of his confidants, whispered in their ears, and then waved his hand and ordered them to act according to the plan.
Although Lin Feng is known as the undefeated God of War of the Han Dynasty, Wang Siji does not think that he has no chance of winning this battle.
First of all, the defenders of the city already have the advantage of good location and people. No matter how brave and skillful Lin Feng is, he can't lead a group of cavalry to attack the city wall, right?
Secondly, since ancient times, arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Since Lin Feng was born, he has fought and won consecutively, which will inevitably breed arrogance and coquettishness. However, the Tricity has always been a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
If God deserves it, Wang Siji became famous in the first battle, then there is a good chance that Lin Feng will be defeated for the first time in his life here, thereby breaking the so-called undefeated myth.
