"There's no good way to do it." Li Xiuning, who has always been good at attacking, said with a faint expression, for now, there is nothing she can do. "It is true that none of these 5,000 people escaped, but no one can say for sure whether there are any spies secretly following them, and besides, there has been no reaction for a long time, and a fool can guess that something is wrong.

Just imagine, even 5,000 people swallowed it quietly, so how could the more than 3,000 people in Fucheng still dare to act arbitrarily? No matter how you lure the enemy, you will only choose to hold on. Besides, what else do you have to do to get them to send troops now? ”

Zhou Shaoyu led the army to go directly to Long County with the prisoners, while Xiao Qiao stayed in Zhuzhu County, in order to prevent changes and report through Da Qiao at any time. In addition, let Chen Shuozhen, who has been running around, stay in Makuzhu County to rest temporarily, and lead the army left behind in Makuzhu County by the way. And Wan Qiaoqiao, who can already make catapults, naturally followed Zhou Shaoyu, is it necessary, does it really have to be attacked?

"Or can the hostages in hand be tried, is it useful?" Zhou Shaoyu said from the heart of not giving up.

"Do you really want to try?" Li Xiuning suddenly narrowed one eye, as if he was smiling.

Zhou Shaoyu took a look, chuckled, and knew that he had said the wrong thing.

Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan, and Li Xiuning and many brothers and sisters were even staying in the capital Daxing, and after receiving the news, they had to hurriedly embark on the road of escape, including Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng.

No matter what Li Yuan thought, unless it was really imminent, and even the Great Sui had already pressed the territory to conquer, otherwise, how could he not even have time to ventilate the news in advance? It turned out to be so hasty.

In other words, are these children really that important to Li Yuan?

Looking further down, Li Yuanyan's eldest son, Li Jiancheng, fled with his fifth brother Li Zhiyun, but the latter was used as bait and successfully escaped too far, while Li Zhiyun was captured and escorted to Chang'an, and was finally beheaded.

Later, everyone knows how Li Er started the incident and how he killed his brother and forced his father, in short, that's the same thing.

People often say that the royal family has no family affection, the Li family at that time was not a royal family, but how is it also a big family, the bigger the family, the more in front of the overall interests of the family, the individual's life immediately becomes insignificant, not to mention that people's hearts are always selfish.

Even if among the captives, there are several sons-in-law of the three families and a few masters, and no one will choose to let the whole family take risks because of this, and the big family will not be short of people. In addition, there are even people who wish they could not go back, so that they can get a lot of benefits from it.

Therefore, Zhou Shaoyu's words about trying to take hostages are a joke at all.

"Then, it seems that there is only a strong attack left." Zhou Shaoyu sighed, very helpless.

I didn't think about it, but it was Liang Hongyu who took over and said, "Choosing to attack is not necessarily a bad thing." ”

"Huh? Let's talk about the reasons. Zhou Shaoyu was very surprised, Liang Hongyu has always been low-key, and she doesn't talk much, she really wants to describe it, she has a sense of honesty and duty, and she won't complain about anything, in short, Zhou Shaoyu has always felt that it is very reliable and reassuring, but she doesn't expect too much.

Historically, it is true that people are heroines of the anti-gold resistance, but there are not many deeds, not to mention that when Liang Hongyu was taken away, she was just a woman who was born in a military attache family, received a certain amount of edification and practiced martial arts, leading soldiers? Not before.

"All along, we have been marching and fighting, mostly using ambushes, and all kinds of strategies, it is true that under strategy, we can make the war smoother, but not all the time there are strategies. Moreover, the enemy army on either side of Chenghui Prefecture will not be able to stand on the stage after all.

Therefore, it seems that our army has experienced several wars, but in fact, it has not been tempered at all, and has not experienced a frontal battlefield, and it is only a small fight after all. Liang Hongyu explained.

Zhou Shaoyu raised his eyebrows, and he had a score in his heart, just like Li Xiuning once said that when fighting a war, it is upright, the number of people, the morale, etc., etc., there are countless wars in history that have been famous for thousands of years because of strategies, but in all wars large and small, these are just a drop in the ocean.

If you can turn things around smoothly with just strategy, then Zhuge Liang, who is almost like a demon in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, would not have led the unification of Shu a long time ago.

There are many ambushes and raids, and there is no frontal hard steel, how to grow up, the day when it really comes to hard steel, I don't know how to lose.

"Liang Mei's words are reasonable, in the face of the city, more often, either you can only choose to attack or besiege, and our soldiers, in the end, are just trained, there is no actual battle to attack the city, the world is so big, even the city will not attack, so what?" Li Xiuning nodded with satisfaction, strictly speaking, Liang Hongyu can also be regarded as the apprentice she brought out, of course, and Yang Miaozhen also contributed a lot, but the latter is more to teach martial arts.

"If it is a strong attack, sending 4,000 troops is the limit, how to attack a city defended by 3,000 people?" Zhou Shaoyu said worriedly, in fact, he could not choose to attack immediately, but in this way, he was afraid of what happened.

In the three families, 5,000 people and horses have all lost, at this time, it is really stupid to see that Chenghui is already a monopoly, in order to protect themselves, the three families will secretly contact the Xingwu Army if they are not good.

No matter how chaotic Daliang is, he will not sit idly by and watch the emergence of an independent Chenghui Prefecture, and he will inevitably send troops to conscript, and if the Xingwu Army, which is organized into 20,000 and a half, is not at all invincible to Zhou Shaoyu. And the Xingwu Army is not one of these rabble, but they are the regular border troops of the imperial court, and the commander is no matter how rubbish he is, and he is also a general who has been standing for hundreds of years, which is so easy to design.

Therefore, in the current situation, Zhou Shaoyu must fight the capital city of Chenghuizhou, and the sooner the better.

"It's not that it's not completely impossible." Li Xiuning frowned, reluctantly came up with a solution, stood up, walked to the sand table placed in the middle, and raised his hand to draw a large square.

"According to the captives of the three families, there are still more than 3,000 troops in Fucheng, and for the sake of safety, it is tentatively estimated to be 4,000." Li Xiuning said lightly, and all the people who participated in the meeting also gathered around.

"There are four sides to the city, and if you defend it evenly, it is a thousand men on one side." Li Xiuning held small blue flags, each small flag represented a hundred people, and ten small flags were placed in each direction within the square.

"And then on our side, also four thousand." Li Xiuning began to take the red flag again, all in one direction.

"No, people are not stupid, since we have gathered one side, they will naturally send troops over." Zhou Shaoyu shook his head, subconsciously said, then raised his eyebrows sharply, and suddenly realized: "I see!" ”
