604. How to respond internally
In order to prevent Zhang Xun from sending people out of the city to stop Zhu Xun's soldiers from digging the city, Zhu Wei simply blocked the passage that Zhang Xun could send people out.
Although Zhang Xun can still organize Yuan Shu's soldiers to descend ropes from the city wall and climb out, then he can only organize the selection of dead soldiers, and these soldiers who climb out of the city, even if they can get out of the city, it is impossible for them to have a chance to return to the city.
If it weren't for the dead, how could an ordinary soldier agree to die?
It's just that Zhang Xun arranged for these dead soldiers to come out, but they were easily discovered by the soldiers on Zhu Wei's side, and besides, their number was not too much, so how could they fight against the Zhu guards stationed in the anti-arrow fortifications under the city.
Therefore, although Zhang Xun also sent some dead soldiers out, they only climbed down the city wall, and before they could get close to those anti-arrow fortifications, they were already discovered by the Zhu guards hiding in the anti-arrow fortifications, and then stabbed them to death with spears and crossbow arrows, and shot them in place.
Therefore, Zhang Xun really had no choice about how to stop Zhu Wei's army from digging the city.
Even if he now constructs some defensive ramparts in the city again, it can't be compared with the tall Shouchun city wall after all, as long as Zhu Wei's army enters the city and destroys those temporary fortifications, it is still relatively easy.
Of course, now Zhu Wei's tactics of attacking Lu Bu to attract Yuan Shu's attention in Shouchun City, so that Zhu Wei's army can enter Shouchun through the hole in the wall dug can only be regarded as a part of Zhou Yu's strategy.
However, it is a means to deal with unexpected changes in strategy.
If Zhou Yu's strategy could not be realized through Lu Bu's side, then it was indeed possible to attack Shouchun in this way, which could be regarded as the realization of the tactics that Zhu Wei said now.
In fact, under the planning of Jia Xu, Lu Su, Zhou Yu and other strategists and military advisors, Zhu Wei also had a lot of contingency measures to deal with the possible changes in the future.
If Lu Bu's side failed to go according to Zhou Yu's original plan this time, then Zhu Wei could indeed unite Cao Cao's army to attack Lu Bu and fight a chaotic battle outside the east gate of Shouchun City to attract Yuan Shu's attention and Yuan Shu's troops to the east gate.
And Zhu Wei could take the opportunity to enter the south gate of Shouchun City through the hole in the excavated city wall, and then follow the city wall to capture the west gate and the north gate, and guide the armies of Liu Bei and Cao Cao to also attack Shouchun City.
At the same time, Zhu Wei can also find an excuse to hand over the task of attacking Lu Bu's side to Cao Cao's side, so if there is any unexpected change on Lu Bu's side in the future, it will have nothing to do with Zhu Wei, then Zhu Wei can try to receive Lu Bu's remnants of the forces in a white face afterwards.
Of course, this tactic is also a means of back-up.
Zhou Yu's real plan is not in this regard, he still hopes that Lu Bu's side can achieve one thing, if this plan is realized, then Shouchun City can be broken without attacking.
It's just that now Zhu Wei is on Liu Bei and Cao Cao's side, but he only said this backup tactic, but he didn't say the real plan.
But on Liu Bei's and Cao Cao's side, it sounds like a reasonable tactic, Liu Bei's side naturally has no opinions, anyway, listening to Zhu Wei's statement, it is mainly Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's side who contribute troops, and he can still slide in the west of Shouchun City, and he doesn't need to contribute any troops to work hard.
When Cao Cao heard this, he turned his head and looked at Guo Jia and Cheng Yu he brought, although he felt that Zhu Wei's rhetoric was reasonable, but he always felt that Zhu Wei could not only arrange such simple tactics.
After all, in the past of Zhu Wei known to Cao Cao, Zhu Wei's battle could also be regarded as a trick, but now it seems to be a little too direct.
Therefore, after getting Cao Cao's hint, before Cao Cao continued to speak, Guo Jia reached out on the side and drank a jue of turbid wine, and said with a smile, "Qian Tanghou is very scheming, if he attacks Lu Bu at that time, it must be our army that will be the main one, and Qian Tanghou's army will mainly attack the south of Shouchun City, so it is not easy to divide the troops, but this means?" However, is Qian Tanghou really sure that he will dig through the Shouchun City Wall? If Yuan Shu's army already has contingency measures in the city, but I don't know how Qian Tanghou will deal with it? ”
Guo Jia is really sharp-minded, and quickly grasped the key point in Zhu Wei's words, although his eyes seemed to be a little drunk, but looking at Zhu Wei's eyes, it seemed to be a little ridiculous.
"Your Excellency?"
Although Zhu Wei had already guessed that he was Guo Jia, he deliberately pretended not to know and asked.
"In Xia Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao is just an idler with Wen Lu's notes next to Cao Gong, but he just listened to Qian Tanghou's policy, but he had some doubts, so he wanted to ask a few words. If it is according to Qian Tanghou's words, it will be our army that will attack Lu Bu at that time, and we will have to fight with Yuan Shu's troops to rescue Lu Bu, the more fierce this battle is, the greater the opportunity for Qian Tanghou to sneak attack the south of the city! It's just that there is a confusion below, if Qian Tanghou is frustrated in attacking the south of the city, then our army can't break the combined army of Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, what should we do? Or, Qian Tanghou has another plan that he has not said? ”
Guo Jia saluted Zhu Wei casually, but he only said that he was an ordinary person beside Cao Cao, but he seemed to have seen that Zhu Wei should have other plans on his side.
"Definitely! This time, our army will be able to dig through the city wall, even if Yuan Shu builds an inner city defense in the city, in just a few days, how can it be strong, and it will definitely be easy to break through! And our army intends to capture the city wall, after our army enters the city, we can take the west gate along the city wall, welcome Liu Yuzhou's army into the city, and then to the north gate, lead Cao Gong's army into the city! In this matter, there is an eighty percent chance of winning! ”
Zhu Wei naturally would not be easily frightened by Guo Jia's words, so he just resolutely expressed his confidence in attacking the city on his side, and then said this to Liu Bei and Cao Cao.
"Hahaha, Qian Tanghou seems to have not finished his words! I don't know what Qian Tanghou said, giving Lu Bu three days to think of the internal response, how did he respond internally? ”
Although Zhu Wei's words made Liu Bei and Cao Cao slightly moved, if Zhu Wei's plan succeeded, then it seemed that Shouchun City could also be broken in three days, as long as the three armies entered the city, Yuan Shu would naturally be unable to resist.
But Guo Jia's eyes flickered, and he asked the key point, that is, whether Zhu Wei asked Lu Bu to respond internally, or just to delay time, he would give Lu Bu these three days.
Guo Jia's words made Cao Cao's eyes flash, yes, he almost fooled Zhu Wei, before Zhu Wei gave Lu Bu three days to respond, this is very critical information.
When Zhu Wei heard this, he only smiled and did not answer directly, but quietly hinted at Zhuge Liang beside him, Zhuge Liang understood, so he also spoke, "Mr. Guo Jia is not an idler, I have long heard that Mr. Guo Jia is the first strategist by Cao Gong's side, and it is not an honor to see him today!" The boy Zhuge Kongming, but it is really a pen official around my lord, Mr. asked, the kid knows, this time my lord wants to design Lu Bu to lead Yuan Shu to escape, so that I can capture and kill Yuan Shu and Lu Bu outside Shouchun, and then the army of Shouchun will naturally be defeated without a fight! ”
In fact, Zhu Wei didn't talk about this strategy before, and he also deliberately planted the foreshadowing, just to let Cao Cao ask for it himself......
