The camp of the Shu army, the big tent of the Chinese army. ***

After Wang Can led the army to Wancheng, he did not attack the city overnight. After all, the soldiers were in a hurry all the way, and their physical strength and spirit could not support it, and the effect of forcibly attacking the city was not good, so the army camped outside the city and rested for a day. At the same time, Wang Can can also take this opportunity to discuss the strategy of dealing 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 had been together for a period of time and understood Zhang Xiu's temperament.

Therefore, Wang Can didn't say anything comforting, and everything seemed to go naturally. It was such direct and straightforward words that made Zhang Xiu's tense heart relax, and there was no previous nervousness.

Zhang Xiu followed Lu Meng and others to meet Wang Can, and then Wang Can led everyone to set up camp.

Zhang Xiu thought about many scenes in her heart, thinking about what Wang Can would say?

But when he really spoke face-to-face, Wang Can bypassed those redundant clichés, so that Zhang Xiu had no pressure. Just as Wang Can directly inquired about Wancheng's situation, this has already recognized Zhang Xiu.

In a word, Zhang Xiu's psychological burden was removed.

Zhang Xiu's expression was serious, and he clenched his fists and said, "Lord, the last general and Zhang Ren will stay in Wancheng." According to the development trend of Liu Bei's siege yesterday, Wancheng will not be breached within five days. However, the situation changed suddenly today, and the Han army under Liu Bei was so crazy that they actually broke through the gates of Wancheng. Due to the suddenness of the incident, we left in a hurry, and the food and baggage and other items in the city were left in the city, and Liu Bei got the grain, grass and baggage from Wancheng, plus his own food, which was enough to support a month. ”

Wang Can looked at everyone and said, "Wancheng is right in front of you, what do you think, tell me!" ”

Zhang Liao said: "My lord, the last general thinks that Liu Bei has enough food, but we also have enough time. That being the case, why not send troops to surround Wancheng and let Liu Bei guard a lonely city? ”

Zhou Cang immediately said: "Wen Yuan, if Liu Bei's reinforcements come, what should we do?" ”

Zhang Liao smiled and said: "General Zhou, it's better for Liu Bei's reinforcements to come, we can just wipe out all Liu Bei's reinforcements." This can not only weaken Runan's forces, but also further attack Liu Bei. We surrounded Wancheng and cut off Liu Bei's connection with the outside world, it is impossible for him to know when reinforcements will come, this is our chance! ”

Zhang Liao's suggestion was to trap Liu Bei in Wancheng, and then eliminate Liu Bei's reinforcements first, and then kill Liu Bei. This option works, but it takes too long.

Wang Can shook his head and said, "Although the plan is feasible, it is too long, and we can't afford to wait!" ”

Guo Jia said: "Lord, in fact, Wancheng is just an isolated city. ”

Wang Can asked, "Fengxiao, talk about it carefully." ”

Guo Jia said slowly: "According to the news reported by the scouts, we already know the reason why the Han army frantically attacked Wancheng, that is, Liu Bei promised to let all the Han soldiers loot Wancheng. Although this effect is good, it can also immediately provoke the battle of the Han soldiers**, but for Liu Bei, it is undoubtedly to drink to quench his thirst and bring about his own destruction. ”

"In this battle, I think Liu Bei will be defeated!"

"There are three reasons for this!"

"One is that Liu Bei lost the people, because Liu Bei wanted to defend Wancheng, he must have the support of the people, but the soldiers under Liu Bei's command harmed the people and disrupted the order of Wancheng, causing Liu Bei to lose the support of the people and also make the army's morale collapse. The people did not help Liu Bei, the soldiers did not obey orders, and it was quite difficult for Liu Bei to hold Wancheng. ”

"The second is that Liu Bei has no time, and now that it is autumn, the weather is gradually getting colder, and Liu Bei is sitting in a lonely city, there is no continuous supply to send, and the lack of winter clothes for the soldiers will also lead to a weakening of strength."

"The third is that Liu Bei does not occupy the geographical advantage, on the surface, Liu Bei occupies Wancheng, guarding a strong city, and has geographical advantages, but when Wancheng was attacked by Liu Bei, it was hit hard, and it was already devastated, and the city wall was damaged. Even though Liu Bei could send troops to repair it, the time was too short, and it was impossible for Liu Bei to repair Wancheng. ”

"To sum up, Liu Bei does not have the right time, place, and people, and he will definitely be defeated." Guo Jia talked eloquently and said loudly: "I think that in just two days, Liu Bei's army will definitely be in chaos and the army's spirit will collapse. When the time comes, we will take advantage of the situation to attack the city, and we will definitely be able to take Wancheng in one fell swoop. And we surrounded Wancheng, Liu Bei will inevitably be unable to escape. ”

Guo Jia's words were loud.

After Zhang Xiu listened, she changed color in horror, and the clothes behind her were all wet.

He used to think that he was very powerful, and he felt that his uncle Zhang Ji was also very powerful. However, now Zhang Xiu listened to Guo Jia's analysis of the situation in Wancheng little by little, and easily set the policy of attacking Wancheng, with both admiration and awe in his heart. He 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 fight bravely.

At this time, Zhang Xiu felt that it was not a shame to return to Wang Can.

Some people will succeed.

Some people are doomed to failure.

Just like him and Wang Can, he just works alone, but Wang Can works hard as a group. Zhang Xiu has no special talents in charge of logistics, no special strategists to give advice, and no fierce generals to fight. And Wang Can has countless capable people, some are responsible for the operation of the rear, some are on the battlefield, and some are making suggestions, this is the real prince.

Zhang Xiu thought about it in her heart, her straight waist leaned forward slightly unconsciously, and she no longer had the previous arrogance.

For Wang Can, he was completely convinced.

At this time, Zhang Xiu completely considered things as a subordinate, and all the arrogance in his heart was lost.

Wang Can didn't notice the change in Zhang Xiu, he was thinking about Wancheng in his heart. After a while, Wang Can's eyes looked at Lu Meng and ordered: "Ameng, tonight, you sent the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Battalion to quietly touch the gate of Wancheng to investigate the gate of Wancheng and see if it can be blown open with gunpowder. ”

Lu Meng shook his head and said, "Lord, I'm afraid not!" ”

Wang Can immediately asked, "Why?" ”

Lü Meng replied: "I fought with Liu Bei's Shu army, and I once observed the situation in Wancheng. Wancheng as a link between Jingzhou and Luoyang, the geographical location is very important, and it is this reason that the city of Wancheng is strong, the city gate is thick, and the two gates are forged with steel, which is difficult to blow up. Even though the city gate was attacked by Liu Bei's Han army during the day and was somewhat damaged, it was still a little worse with gunpowder, and it could not achieve the effect of blowing up the city gate. ”

After Wang Can listened, his face showed a solemn expression.

If you blow open the city gates with gunpowder, you will definitely reduce many things.

But the gunpowder is not powerful enough, and if it can't be exploded, there is nothing that can be done.

After a moment of silence, Wang Can said: "In this case, we will adopt the strategy proposed by Feng Xiao, wait for two days first, wait for the Han army's military spirit to collapse, and then start attacking the city!" ”

At this time, Zhang Xiu said loudly: "Lord, I have thought of a way to break the city." ”

Wang Can hurriedly asked: "Bo Ming, what can I do, let's hear it!" ”

Zhang Xiu said: "When I was in Wancheng, I found that there was an underground passage under the city of Wancheng. 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, there is such a way, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Zhang Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, although the last general knows that there is such an underground passage, he has not sent soldiers to walk through it, and he doesn't know the specific situation. ”

Wang Can waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, send a few people to try it first!" ”

Zhang Liao immediately stood up, hugged his fists and said, "Lord, the last general is willing to give it a try!" ”

Zhang Xiu said: "This is proposed by the last general, and it is natural to go." ”

Lu Meng followed and said, "Lord, the last general is also going." ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ren, Zhou Cang, Huang Xu and others all asked for battle, preparing to investigate first to find out whether the underground passage connecting the inside and outside of Wancheng could be passed.

Wang Can glanced at everyone and said, "This is to explore the way, what to do with so many people." Bo Ming knew the situation, so Bo Ming led the way, and then Lu Meng and Zhang Ren led the soldiers to explore the way. I will do this overnight, and tomorrow morning, I will know the specific situation, and you will go early and return early. ”

"The last general obeys!"

Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ren and Lu Meng nodded in response, and their faces all showed expressions of excitement.

This matter is the key to breaking the city.
