Jia Xu moved in his hand, took out a map of the vicinity of Longping City, spread it on the table, pointed to a place in the north of Longping City, and said: "Your Majesty, please see, this location is where the Dazhou Poison Forest is located, and it is less than half a day's journey from Longping City." ”

"If Zhao Hao really just wants to break through Longping City, he can lead the cavalry to raid Longping City overnight, and then not only will he have a chance to break through Longping City, but he will also have a chance to catch General Zhang Liao off guard. ”

But he didn't, he actually chose to send a message to the Liyang Dynasty and the Hundred Nations Academy for instructions, and it specifically said that he wanted Zhang Licheng to follow his orders. ”

Among them, Zhao Hao also said that he wanted Zhang Licheng to drag Zhang Liao's army for three days, which means that in Zhao Hao's view, as long as Zhang Liao's army does not return to Longping City within three days, he is confident that he can break through Longping City. ”

"Zhang Liao's army is now about a day and a half away from Longping City, plus the time required to attack the city, Zhao Hao arranged it this way, that is, the barbarian iron cavalry in the poisonous forest is no more than a day and a half away from Longping City, because once it is more than a day and a half, General Zhang Liao may return to Longping City. ”

"That's normal!"

"But in terms of the current situation, a day and a half is simply not enough for Zhang Liao's army to come back, because there are too many things to deal with on the battlefield, and it will take a few days to deal with the wounded. ”

These times were enough for Zhao Hao to launch several surprise attacks, but he didn't do so, which is enough to prove that his purpose is not only to break through Longping City, but also to snatch the command of the army in the land of all countries. ”

"Therefore, the minister can conclude that Zhao Hao's mind is absolutely impure now, and his purpose, or even his main purpose, is to snatch Zhang Licheng's military power!"

When Lu Feng heard this, he groaned slightly, and said, "Isn't this a little unlikely, how could Zhao Hao, as a general, do such a thing during a big war?"

"Your Majesty, this possibility is absolutely possible!"

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Zhao Hao didn't know that we controlled the Gu Xuan Trading House, and he didn't know that the matter of the Barbarian Iron Horse would be discovered by us. ”

"In his eyes, we in Longping City have not prepared anything, how can we resist the attack of four million iron cavalry? It may only take one attack to break through Longping City with four million barbarian iron cavalry, which is very easy! Coupled with the natural suppression of the infantry by the cavalry, he can also lead the cavalry to defeat the army under Zhang Liao's command. ”

"That way, he can get a big win. It just so happened that now that Zhang Licheng was defeated, he won again, no matter how unwilling the Liyang Dynasty was, it was impossible for Zhang Licheng to be the commander of the army again. ”

"When the time comes, there is a ninety percent chance that Zhao Hao will become the main general again!"

"Nine times out of ten, this is Zhao Hao's purpose!"

"In that case, I should be grateful to Zhao Hao. ”

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Lu Feng also thought that this possibility was really big.

Because four million iron cavalry attacked a defenseless city, it was really simple to break through, but Zhao Hao didn't do this, and it was hard to wonder if he had any other purpose.

"Your Majesty, in this case, the minister thinks that we should take advantage of the news that Zhao Hao gave to the Liyang Dynasty and the Hundred Nations Academy while we are still in our hands, and immediately transfer General Zhang Liao's army back overnight, and when the time comes, with the high walls of Longping City, we will definitely be able to block the attack of Zhao Hao's iron cavalry!" Jia Xu immediately suggested.

After knowing that Zhao Hao's purpose was not just to break through Longping City, he could let Zhang Liao's army withdraw.

Because at this time, the news that Zhao Hao had passed to the Liyang Dynasty and the Hundred Nations Academy was still in Lu Feng's hands, and Zhao Hao had not yet waited for the order to attack.

If he saw Zhang Liao's army retreating, he would immediately send troops, and it would be impossible to achieve his goal.

Of course, it is also possible that Zhao Hao immediately sent troops to attack regardless of his own purpose after discovering that Zhang Liao had withdrawn his troops, and this possibility is also possible.

But in the current situation, it is obviously impossible to think about it so much.

It's just a risk.

This is Jia Xu's current thinking, and it is also a method that is very suitable for the current situation.

But Lu Feng didn't make an immediate decision.

"Your Majesty, do you have any other plans?"

Seeing that Lu Feng didn't answer, Jia Xu asked cautiously.

"I'm thinking, now that we know where the enemy is, and where they are going to attack, why can't we find a way to wipe out their four million iron horsemen? Why do we have to retreat? Why can we only defend?"

Lu Feng looked at Jia Xu and said: "The situation in the kingdom is not optimistic, the imperial conscription order is coming, and the Great Emperor's ruins are about to open, and all these wars must be resolved before the Great Emperor's ruins are over." ”

"Because after that, it will be a turbulent moment in Yuzhou, and it will be a moment for the heroes to compete for hegemony, and I don't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

"Therefore, we must accumulate enough strength before the end of the Great Emperor's ruins, and only in this way can we compete with those dynasties and the Yellow Dynasty in Yuzhou in the future!"

"The war in Longping City can't be delayed, we must find a way to send all the barbarian iron horsemen who want to intervene to hell!"

"This ......"

Jia Xu had a sad face, the enemy army had as many as four million iron cavalry, and it was no problem to block them with Longping City, but it was undoubtedly a fool's dream to kill them all with the strength in his hands.

"Although we are now at a disadvantage in terms of strength, our advantage lies in knowing the enemy's disposition, and we have time to arrange the large army. ”

"But before that, we need to survey the terrain around Longping City, because if we want to destroy these barbarian iron horses, we must take advantage of the terrain. Lu Feng said in a deep voice.

"I understand. ”

Jia Xu knew Lu Feng's thoughts, and responded, "The minister will go down to survey the surrounding terrain." ”

"No, I'll go with you!"

Lu Feng shook his head, it's not that he can't believe Jia Xu, it's just that because this matter is too important, Lu Feng has to see it with his own eyes.

"Yes!"

Jia Xu answered, and immediately followed Lu Feng out of Longping City and headed north.

"Your Majesty, the position we are in now is the mountain on which Longping City leans. ”

It didn't take long for Lu Feng and Jia Xu to rush to the place, although it was night, but for warriors like Lu Feng and Jia Xu, the night could be seen clearly.

Jia Xu pointed to the mountain in front of him and said, "Longping City is built on this high mountain, combining natural hazards and the city, so it is very difficult to be breached. ”

Lu Feng nodded, looking at the mountain in front of him, indeed, the mountain is steep, and it is impossible to march on this mountain.

And Zhang Liao and Jia Xu had taken this into account before, and arranged 100,000 infantry and 100,000 crossbowmen on this mountain to ensure that no enemy troops could kill from this side.
